NOTE: REPOSTED FROM MY BLOG-POST – COLOR REVOLUTION INDIA
SHOCKER: Ex-Pentagon analyst behind a urination-and-rape video of Bin Laden, as well as the “Durga” video of Khobragade’s arrest.
“Early on in the Khobragade story, a video representation of the arrest of Devyani Khobragade appeared on the net. It was later removed.
The video was an animation of the arrest, in which, as in pictures in later news reports, Khobragade kept turning into a multi-armed figure reminiscent of the Goddess Durga/Kali:
“The one-and-a-half-minute spoof has been posted by a group called “Next Media Animation TV. And though not everyone will be amused by the fact that the sari-clad Khobragade keeps turning into a Goddess Kali-like entity, the idea seems essentially to tell the basic story of the row wittily. Subtitles include one that goes “US not sari”.
Next Media Animation is an animation company in Taiwan. It is run by a former Pentagon analyst, Mark Simon from Virginia, which is the headquarters of the US intelligence community and of the government-subsidized electronic snooping industry. [See below.]
Next Media Animation is a subsidiary of Next Media, a Hong Kong-based media conglomerate that creates humorous animations of news events.
Next Media is the creation of serial entrepreneur and devout Catholic Jimmy Lai and it’s the largest media group in Hong Kong.
While Lai might be Catholic, one cannot assume Mark Simon – who runs Next Animation – is.
So, the “Durga” video need not be read as a display of personal religious animosity toward a “pagan, polytheistic” religion.
The video might just have been a clumsy attempt to use religious symbolism for political purposes.
Jimmy Lai is known as the “Rupert Murdoch of Asia” and is responsible for bringing in a flashy, tabloid-style of media into Asia. (Added: Jan 20, 2014)
Lai owns the biggest media operation in Hong-Kong.
Lai is highly critical of the Chinese government for its human-rights violations and lack of democracy, which has got wide coverage in Western mainstream outlets, like the BBC.

(Added: Jan 21, 2014)
Lai has been targeted, reportedly, because of his political outspokenness.
Lai’s position on China seems close to the position of the US State Dept.
The Catholic Lai has worked with Cardinal Joseph Zen in a campaign against the Beijing government’s attempt to replace Hong-Kong’s free educational system with organizing committees in each school.
The new government committees will replace the educational institutions (including the Catholic church) that now run the schools.
In China, there is a “legal” Catholic church that toes the official Marxist line on abortion, among other things, and there is also an “illegal” church that doesn’t and therefore suffers persecution and suppression.
Jimmy Lai seems to be an outlet for CIA disinformation and psyops.
NEWS REPORT: A Pentagon defense analyst runs Lai’s pro-democracy efforts
“Lai had made donations of nearly $8 million over five years to pro-democracy groups and individuals — and that [Mark] Simon, as head of his private office, handled the payments.”
QUOTE
“Simon, who spends most of his time in Taiwan, where he runs Next Media’s animation unit, dismissed the whole affair as a “sloppy farce.”
NEWS REPORT: A New York Times interview with Lai mentions a video made by Next Media Animation that showed Osama Bin Laden being urinated on and raped in hell. Lai says the video was an “accident” by young employees
