From the US Bureau of Justice  (6/18/13):

INDIA ISN’T ON THE LIST. GUESS WHO IS?

US, UK, New Zealand, Sweden, Belgium (among others).

Confirming yet again that slander of the poor is the course of least resistance in the major media.

Only one country on this list can even be called “third-world.”

Seven count as among the most “developed” countries, the most affluent.

Three are mainly Anglo-phone.

One, Sweden, routinely rates as one of the least corrupt countries.

And the US, at No. 6 in rape internationally, is the sole super-power, the world’s law-giver and law-enforcer.

Rapes per 100,000 of population:

A website calling itself The Ugly Indian is tackling the most visible failure in Indian society – the complete absence of civic sense.

Of course, other factors are at play too –  lack of infrastructure, poverty, crowding.

But these are secondary to the real cause of filthy Indian cities – which is what the blog calls “Ugly Indians”…the many, many Indians who litter, spit,  pee, toss their garbage, let their animals poop, and commit all manner of anti-social behavior….. for a very simple reason….other not-Ugly Indians don’t intervene.

The site has dozens of stories about Bangalore eye-sores transformed from public urinals into charming walks with just a rag, paint, and some plants.

“There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find Englishmen doing it; but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle. He fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles.

– George Bernard Shaw

William Lind:

“The plain fact is, conservatives loathe unpredictability. They also know that vast state expenditures and debts can destabilize a society, and no activity of the state is more expensive than war. America’s adventure in Iraq, driven in no small part by the quest for oil—which will now mostly go to China—has already cost a trillion dollars, with another trillion or two to come caring for crippled veterans. Even the peacetime cost of a large military can break a country, as it broke the Soviet Union. American conservatives used to be budget hawks, not warhawks.

If we look beyond dollars, francs, pounds, and marks, the toll of war grows endless. After World War I, there were no young men on the streets of Paris. As one British observer noted, the German casualty lists from the early battles in that war read like the Almanach de Gotha, the book that catalogued the German nobility. Most frighteningly to conservatives, wars like World War I can destroy a whole culture’s faith in itself. It may well be that European civilization’s last chance for survival was a German victory on the Marne in 1914.

One gain that comes out of war is as disturbing to conservatives as any of the losses: an aggrandizement of state power. The argument of “wartime necessity” runs roughshod over all checks and balances, civil liberties, and traditional constraints on government. In the 20th century, American progressives knew they could only create the powerful, centralizing federal government they sought by going to war. It was they, the left, who engineered America’s entry into World War I. Nearly a century later, 9/11 gave centralizers in the neocon Bush administration the cover they needed for the “Patriot Act,” legislation that would have left most of America’s original patriots rethinking the merits of King George. Just as nothing adds more to a state’s debt than war, so nothing more increases its power. Conservatives rue both.

When Edmund Burke, generally regarded as conservatism’s 18th-century founder, was faced in Parliament with a proposal for a war to ensure the river Scheldt in the Austrian Netherlands remained closed so Antwerp could not compete with London, his response was, “A war for the Scheldt? A war for a chamber pot!” That was a genuinely conservative reaction.

US embassy officials committing tax-fraud in Norway. Perhaps the NGO’s and the UN could start taking a look there:

“Authorities in Norway accused more than 50 Norwegian citizens working for the U.S. Embassy over the past several years of tax evasion, claiming that staff members had failed to report their full income.

The nation’s tax administration said Wednesday that employees at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo avoided paying full taxes on annual salaries of between 100,000 Norwegian kroner ($16,400) and 600,000 kroner. Some of the evasion took place over several years on sums totaling up to two million kroner, the administration said.

“The Norwegian Tax Administration takes seriously cases where tax payers consciously avoid disclosing their taxable income,” Tax Director Hans Christian Holte said. Those that are convicted will have to pay back taxes and face fines that equal between 45% and 60% of the gross salary earned during the period in question.

In some cases, the total fee could be as high as 90%. The maximum prison sentence for tax evasion in Norway is six years, and jail terms are assigned to serious offenders.

In Norway, all employers must reported salaries to the government. Embassy payrolls aren’t legally exempt from this rule, but several embassies in Oslo, including the U.S. Embassy, don’t report salaries to the Norwegian government.

Foreign diplomats pay taxes to their home countries and don’t have to report their salaries to Norwegian authorities, but Norwegian staff at foreign embassies are required to pay taxes to Norway. “It’s the tax payer’s duty to disclose the correct information in tax returns,” Mr. Holte said.”

More evidence of “staging” and manipulation in the accounts of rape in Delhi, the most recent one being this alleged gang rape of a Danish woman:

”

Before she left, she refused to undergo a medical checkup required to confirm sexual assault, said Alok Kumar, deputy commissioner of New Delhi police.

“She didn’t have injuries that required medical attention,” he said, declining to provide further details on the woman’s complaint.

Kumar said they arrested two homeless men, ages 22 and 25, Police recovered an iPod and a phone cable that belonged to the woman. Police also expect a medical report from Danish authorities that will be used as evidence.”

Can we please find out more about these women? How do we know they are not operatives? I find it strange that such sensational events happen just after the US lost face over the Khobragade story. I believe this one at least to be staged.  The police found no evidence of rape and she returned to Denmark to be tested. This is bogus. I believe there is a concerted effort to stage these sorts of things to counter the claim for tax violations at the American embassy.

So now we have the UN pronouncing on rape in Delhi.

We have a senior Indian diplomat subjected to custodial rape in the US, after she filed a case of extortion in New Delhi (her maid was an Indian citizen, had an Indian passport and was covered for health, travel and lodging from India), because the US Dept of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security chief in New Delhi allegedly intervened with the Delhi police (under the national government) and then obstructed the judiciary by “evacuating” the maid to US and changing the case from “absconding, extorting maid” to “slaver diplomat.”

We have a foreign-funded party heading Delhi with a Magasaysay Award winner at the head, hiring private female commandos under the authority of the party ruling Delhi (the Aam Aadmi Party) and its leader, Arvind Kejriwal, who are funded by the Ford Foundation, which is an arm of the US government and its CIA/Soros backers:

“The new voluntary unit is the brainchild of 26-year-old Rakhi Birla, Delhi’s new Women and Child Welfare Minister and the youngest member of the state’s government.” (Delhi Trains Female Unit To Combat Rape)”

Kejriwal, a Julian Assange-type, asset of the intelligence services, fraudulently usurped the popularity of the original anti-corruption movement of Baba Ramdev, which itself was hijacked by Anna Hazare. In turn, Hazare was abandoned and the Trojan Horse Kejriwal took over.

Kejriwal claims he wants to “fix” the Delhi police.

The Color Revolution in India is unfolding stage by stage as we speak. Frankly, I could use help on this blog to pick up on the number of things unfolding simultaneously.

The new chief of Twitter, which was used so extensively in the Arab Spring at Tahrir Square is one Raheel Khurshid, a Kashmiri journalist and separatist trained in the US. Khurshid was the force behind the drummed-up Delhi rape crisis, so, as I blogged long before I knew this. This is ARAB SPRING, INDIAN EDITION:

“Raheel Khursheed, 30, a local journalist-cum-online activist has taken over as chief of Twitter India, following his appointment earlier this month as head of the news, politics and government division at the popular microblogging site.

Twitter, which along with Facebook is one of the two top social websites, had created the post specifically for a few emerging countries, including India.”

His biography reads exactly like what you’d expect for someone groomed by the Rothschild elites to head one of their innumerable astro-turf popular movements, popularly known as color revolutions.

Indian government sources told this writer thus: “Tax evasion from a school (read AES) which is charging so much from the students is a willful deceit of Indian laws.”

The American Embassy School must be among the most expensive schools in the country where lots of rich Indians send their wards to in the hope of securing a better future for them in the US years later. See the AES fee structure. A pre-Kindergarten child is charged $10,310 annually in tuition fee, a Grade 6-8 student is charged $21,690 annually and a grade 11-12 student is charged $22,390. This is only tuition fees. There are other fees like the application fee of $300 (which is non-refundable), a registration fee (KG-Grade 12) of $11,110, registration fee (pre-K) of $ 5,110 and English as an additional language (EAL) support fee of $ 2500. Then there is a lunch fee of $550. Over and above all this, there is a bus fee too which ranges from $1,170 to 1,800, depending on the distance.

Sources have told this writer that what has stumped the Americans is that many of their diplomats have their spouses working in the American School or elsewhere but they have not been putting these incomes on record. Moreover, when the AES started, the Indian government had given certain leverages and concessions to the Americans, including exempting the school and a particular number of its faculty members from income tax. The problem is that the Americans have unilaterally elongated the tax-exemption list sizably. There are many staffers in the US embassy in New Delhi, mostly Americans, who have been evading taxes as per Indian laws for years for the simple reason that Indian government has been turning a blind eye to this malpractice. However, the Devyani episode has forced India to call the Americans’ bluff.

The Americans were at the wrong end of the stick several years ago when the American School in Mumbai was found to be indulging in the same malpractices and as a result of the intervention of the Bombay High Court the Americans were made to shell out huge money (with arrears) to India. The current scenario looks the same.
