We are looking at large numbers of traitorous Senators promoting very dangerous ideas that are expansionist and interventionist in nature. They have built up a structure of lies, falsehoods, exaggerations, false enemies, false threats, impossible aspirations for dominance, and misperceptions. We are looking at people who feign respectability, reasonableness, honesty, loyalty and intelligence but who, when they promote war against a President who is succeeding in bringing a degree of peace, must be counted as among the lowest of the low, people that we must revile and reject as “leaders”, people that we must see as enemies of the interests of the peaceful pursuit of happiness. These same people will, by and large, turn their guns against the American people and be most supportive of the national security state.

Indictment Charges On Passport Are Bogus
Times of India:
“Based in New York, Batra had successfully represented the former Indian Consul General Prabhu Dayal against allegations of sexual exploitation by his maid.
“The core problem here is that Sangeeta willfully, voluntarily and with free will entered into three contracts: an oral contract followed by two written agreements, with the first and third contracts each calling for Rs 30,000 to be paid per month. Then, Sangeeta, alone, was twice interviewed by the US Embassy to negotiate the fraud upon the US Embassy, aided by her-executed Fake Contract, and Sangeeta did so successfully,” Batra told PTI.
[Batra seems to accept that one of the contracts – the one shown to the US Visa office – was fraudulent. Devyani K’s contention is that it wasn’t and that the first and third, for Rs. 30,000, constituted money to be paid to the maid’s family in India. However, that second contract itself would violate US labor laws, which require all monies to be paid in the US, so I read. Ms. Khobragade probably did not know that or thought it was permissible since both she and the maid were Indian citizens, the contracts were drawn up in India, and they were protected under Indian labor law. Since the full terms of payment actually fulfilled US requirements, she may not even have known that it was in conflict with US law.]
[Another point is the US Visa office A3 visa is probably illegal itself and unnecessary.]
Times of India:
“Of course, once Sangeeta agreed to work as Devyani’s domestic worker, Sangeeta gave her ‘Blue’ passport to Devyani, who then got Sangeeta her Official ‘White’ passport, with obvious ‘cancellation’ of the Blue passport,” he said.
Sangeeta then traveled on her White passport on November 24, 2013 to New York, and later it was missing, as reported in the FIR when she left Devyani’s home in June 2013, he added.
[Lila: That is, Sangeeta herself took the white passport from the house. She couldn’t travel on it to go home, because it is an official passport that would be invalid if she reneged on her terms of agreement. So Bharara’s charge that DK took her passport or prevented her from traveling is bogus and confused.]
Times of India:
“Hence, the claim that Devyani, was somehow preventing Sangeeta from traveling on her Blue passport is incomprehensible – as Sangeeta had her White passport, which Sangeeta knew, she could not use to go back to India, given her violation of her employment-terms,” Batra alleged.
“Additionally, with an arrest warrant for Sangeeta issued on November 19, 2013, by the Delhi High Court and her husband listed as an Accused #2, Sangeeta’s claimed desire to return to India is not credible,” Batra claims, referring to the allegations made by the federal prosecutor in the indictment that the maid wanted to return to India.
“Finally, since Philip Richard was an employee of the US Embassy in Delhi, Sangeeta was always empowered to seek advice and counsel from Philip’s employer, prior to her entering into two contracts for Rs 30,000,” Batra said.
[Lila: That is, with close family ties to the head of the anti-trafficking and anti-terrorism unit in the US embassy, Wayne May, Sangeeta had plenty of ability to get further advice on the exact nature of her contract. She could not have been pressured by Devyani to make her appearance in the US visa office.]
Time of India:
Relying solely upon Sangeeta’s unadorned word, the indictment accuses Devyani of overworking and exploiting her and lists hours she claims to have worked – as much as “94 to 109” hours a week, including Sundays, he said, adding that the hours claimed by Sangeeta could be challenged.
Lila: Witnesses whom the US judge did not include have already testified seeing Sangeeta on off-days.
Times of India:
Batra also questions the US decision to give T-visa to the family members of Sangeeta.
“That our State Department required our Justice Department to file criminal charges against Devyani, while giving Sangeeta and family a T-visa, under these circumstances is nothing short of an avoidable itch becoming a roaring rash. “Sinful human trafficking, modern day slavery, this is not – no matter the powerful incentive of getting a T-visa causing one to fake being trafficked.”
The Rules Of Racial Standing
Derrick Bell’s Rules Of Racial Standing:
FIRST RULE
The law grants litigants standing to come into court based on their having sufficient personal interest and involvement in the issue to justify judicial cognizance. Black people (while they may be able to get into court) are denied such standing legitimacy in the world generally when they discuss their negative experiences with racism or even when they attempt to give a positive evaluation of another black person or of his work. No matter what their experience or expertise, blacks’ statements involving race are deemed ‘special pleading’ and thus not entitled to serious consideration.
[Lila:That is, even on India and Indians, my opinion has to be confirmed by white observation, or it is demoted to special pleading. However, even the most uninformed white person can pronounce on anything under the sun, be completely wrong, and still be taken seriously. His objectivity is taken for granted. I can only be taken seriously on my own when I back a position that white society as a whole wants to see promoted and sees some advantage to itself in having a non-white person also “validate it.” ]
SECOND RULE
Not only are blacks’ complaints discounted, but black victims of racism are less effective witnesses than are whites, who are members of the oppressor class. This phenomenon reflects a widespread assumption that blacks, unlike whites, cannot be objective on racial issues and will favor their own no matter what. This deep seated belief fuels a continuing effort – despite all manner of Supreme Court decisions intended to curb the practice – to keep black people off juries in cases involving race. Black judges hearing racial cases are eyed suspiciously and sometimes asked to recuse themselves in favor of a white judge – without those making the request even being aware of the paradox in their motions.
[Lila: I don’t believe that whites constitute an oppressor class, en masse, obviously, since many whites are oppressed themselves and many non-whites join with the oppressor class. However, I do believe that white populations, relative to the central banking cartel – which is the main cause of the proliferation of war and poverty in the modern world – are privileged victims, in that their oppression – which is also severe – is cushioned by their position in the epicenter of power.]
THIRD RULE
Few blacks avoid diminishing t of racial standing, most of their statements about racial conditions being diluted and their recommendations of other blacks taken with a grain of salt. The usual exception to this rule is the black person who publicly disparages or criticizes other blacks who are speaking or acting in ways that upset whites. Instantly, such statements are granted ‘enhanced standing’ even when the speaker has no special expertise or experience in the subject he or she is criticizing.
[Lila: This was especially noticeable in cases like that of Trayvon Martin, when any non-white who could support the general white perception of the case was trotted out.]
FOURTH RULE
When a black person or group makes a statement or takes an action that the white community or vocal components thereof deem “outrageous,” the latter will actively recruit blacks willing to refute the statement or condemn the action. Blacks who respond to the call to condemnation will receive superstanding status. The blacks who refuse to be recruited will be interpreted as endorsing the statements and action and may suffer political or economic reprisals.FIFTH RULE
True awareness requires an understanding of the Rules of Racial Standing. As an individuals understanding of these rules increases, there will be more and more instances where one can discern their workings. Using this knowledge, one gains the gift of prophesy about racism, its essence, its goals, even its remedies. The price of this knowledge is the frustration that follows recognition that no amount of public prophesy, no matter its accuracy, can either repeal the Rules of Racial Standing nor prevent their or prevent their operation.
US State Dept Distances Itself From Mays’ Remarks
“Those comments absolutely do not reflect US Government policy, nor were they made on any official US Government social media account,” State Department Deputy Spokesperson, Marie Harf, told reporters at her daily news conference. “
Marie Harf wisely put a bit of distance between the State Dept. and the Facebook remarks of the chatty May couple.
She was wise to do it. No educated and sophisticated observer would consider Mrs. Mays blabbings on social media reflective of the beliefs of the State Dept. which has many fine scholars. Indians of an older generation still recall the good-will generated by fine American representatives like Chester Bowles.
But the issue is not whether May represents each State Dept official. Of course, he doesn’t. He does however represent all of them, as a collective. And so does his wife.
It’s also not the specifics of what he said. It’s the general tone of the blogging, which shows entitlement and self-absorption, which while excellent attributes for socialites and celebrities are terrible ones for security chiefs, diplomats and international representatives.
One can understand how a person from a very affluent country might find even a posh enclave in Delhi unbearable.
One can’t understand how a senior diplomat in a country counts not one “native” to whom she is close enough to share even public postings on social media.
What Was Snowden Doing In India?
“Snowden didn’t disclose his India trip to investigators when renewing his top-secret security clearance the following year. It was that clearance, NSA officials say, that gave Snowden access to the 1.7 million classified files he later stole from the agency’s computer networks and databases. U.S. intelligence officials have faulted the company that conducted Snowden’s background check for not more thoroughly questioning him about overseas travel and what foreign nationals he may have met with, which is standard procedure for detecting whether someone is spying for a foreign power. They have characterized the background check as flawed and incomplete.
But Foreign Policy has learned that Snowden’s trip to India should not have been a mystery to the U.S. government or intelligence agencies. Snowden was in the country in his capacity as an NSA contractor “to assist as a technical expert” at the U.S. embassy in New Delhi, according to an individual with knowledge of the situation who asked not to be identified. Snowden also told his computer instructor that he worked for the NSA and that he was in the city “on business,” said Rohit Aggarwal, the CEO and founder of the school, Koenig Solutions. Government employees and contractors are not required to disclose foreign trips of an official nature, and may even be instructed not to, in order to avoid compromising intelligence operations and programs, according to two former U.S. intelligence officials.
Snowden’s time in India has been covered in the Indian press but has received little attention in the United States.
The travels offer a rare glimpse into his activities in the years before he became arguably the most famous leaker of classified secrets in American history.””

A further NSA document obtained by the Hindu suggests the agency selected the office of India’s mission at the UN in New York and the country’s Washington embassy as “location targets” where records of Internet traffic, emails, telephone and office conversations – and even official documents stored digitally – could potentially be accessed after programs had been clandestinely inserted into computers.
In March 2013, the NSA collected 6.3bn pieces of information from internet networks in India and 6.2bn pieces of information from the country’s telephone networks during the same period, the Hindu said.
After the Guardian reported in June that Pm program allowed the NSA “to obtain targeted communications without having to request them from the service providers and without having to obtain individual court orders”, both US and Indian officials claimed no content was being taken from the country’s networks and that the programs were intended to aid “counter-terrorism”.
Syed Akbaruddin, an external affairs ministry spokesperson, said on Wednesday there was no further comment following the latest revelations.
Siddharth Varadajaran, editor of the Hindu, said the Indian government’s “remarkably tepid and even apologetic response to the initial set of disclosures” made the story a “priority for Indians”.
A home ministry official told the newspaper the government had been “rattled” to discover the extent of the the programme’s interest in India. “It’s not just violation of our sovereignty, it’s a complete intrusion into our decision-making process,” the official said.

I wonder why Foreign Policy, an establishment mouthpiece, is putting this out now? It’s been covered widely before. Red herring much?

Parallel, militarized female police force introduced into Delhi, under the pretext of the increase in rapes (drummed up sensationally, of course), ostensibly to thwart rapists.
Actually, this police force is not under Delhi govt. but parallel to it and seemingly responsible to the AAP Party – which is heavily funded by FOUNDATIONS.
(Ford etc.)Delhi is thus effectively under Foundation rule and they now have their own private police force..
Following on the fact that the US embassy security and anti-terror chief (who was buying and selling duty free goods, and violating tax law) was able to obstruct the Indian judiciary, evacuate the maid, and instigate the arrest and strip search of a senior diplomat over her protests of immunity, this suggests where real power in Delhi lies.
Crude Posts Suggest Nanny Rescue Not Philanthropic
The Times of India has got on the case and draws the obvious conclusions. While the US embassy has been putting out the story that the intervention of Wayne May and his wife into the Sangeeta Richard case was humanitarian, intended to save her from the malice of a thuggish Indian diplomat, the Mays’ social media chatter gives an entirely different picture of the two, one much more in keeping with the theory, proposed on this blog, that the “trafficking” case was initiated for political reasons, not humanitarian.
“The Indian ”holy cow” is a recurring theme in their entries, starting from the time Wayne May was posted in New Delhi in 2010. The first of the pictures appears in June 2010 with a comment from Wayne saying, ”No eating the sacred cows.” A little later, he adds, ”one week in country and I already miss steak.”
His wife Alicia captions another photo ”Stupid Cow.” A friend comments, ”You just insulted their cow,” to which May responds, ”Not the first time, not the last time.”
[Lila: In the post, it’s actually “you just insulted their god,” which is far more inflammatory, so I guess Times of India, trying to be a good international citizen, changed the word.]
But a short time later, she shows the kind of frustration that many Indians might also share: ”Just wait till you have to dodge these beasts in your car because they are laying in the middle of the road blocking traffic – they lose their “holiness” real fast. And, as holy as they are supposed to be, most of them are bodyline starved. It’s awful to see. Everything is a contradiction here…”
There is other banter in which enraged nationalists see signs of Indian laws being broken by the meat-loving diplomats. ”Had real American Hamburbers for dinner last night. A friend smuggled them in his suitcase last night,” Alicia Muller May writes in September 2010, soon after their arrival in India, adding, ”water buffalo burgers just aren’t cutting it. Oh, the simple pleasures of life….” Another time, she alerts her friends in Delhi to ”a good friend in Beijing who is coming to the CLO office with beautiful pearls for sale…” – which some see as evidence that embassy premises were being used for commercial activities.
In one bizarre exchange in November 2012 in response to a Huffington Post article on claims that are meat eaters being more prone to violence and sex crimes, Alicia May says ”I’d like them to do a follow up article on how many vegetarians rape women here every day.” It is the vegetarians that are doing the raping, not the meat eaters, she says, later adding, ”applies only to Indians, not westerners.”
The domestic Indian staff for whom they professedly had concern don’t come out very well either in their corrosive social media exchanges. In one photograph, it is pointed out that their pet dog Paco looks bigger and in better health than their Indian gardener. Paco, says May, gets more protein in his diet. Another times, May goes to a mosque in Delhi with two visitors where they get a VIP tour because they are from the US embassy.
“I hate the taste but I have to be polite,” she says about having to drink tea at the mosque. Her friend: ”Tea? I thought it was coffee.” ”If it tastes like rancid mushroom, don’t drink it.” Friend (who is evidently serving in Afghanistan): ”Everything is rancid in Afghanistan. That’s how you know it is farm fresh.”
To be sure, most of the exchanges are frivolous and typical of social media tattle. But given the sensitive positions they occupied in the US embassy, they are, particularly in hindsight, astonishingly offensive, robbing the couple of their “bleeding heart” credentials that is said to have led them to spirit out Sangeeta Richard’s family from New Delhi.
At BharatRakshak forum, one astute poster also suggests that May was likely CIA and used his power to prevent the Delhi police from doing anything about the criminal case filed against the maid:
“It is possible that “May” is CIA. I don’t think any diplomat will give a sh*t about a simple domestic servant dispute. He decided that he is powerful enough to teach Devyani a lesson by getting her raped. This seems to be a operation planned between May Couple along with somebody like Urza Shamim Zeya to show “who is daddy” to IFS. “May” controls a staff almost of 500 security staff and liason’s with Delhi Police.
Look at the actions of Delhi Police, they first refused to register FIR. Then after Court directed FIR, they refused to investigate or make arrests. Third they even refused to issue “look out” notices or seize passports of SK Family members. Delhi Police has 4 levels of failures in spite of Court orders and calls of Devynai father. My guess is that “May” used favors to fix some very high IPS level officers of Delhi Police. Not to forget inspite of withdrawal of immunity to US Counsels cars, Delhi Traffic Police did not take action and a specific letter had to written to them by GoI to take action, then they have taken action only for one day.”
Devolution For India; Fascism For US
“Unfortunately in India, the media is so biased towards particular political parties that establishing an “independent media” is very difficult. The media guys are biased towards political parties on domestic issues. So if a government establishes an “independent media”, it will be pro-government, a la DD. Will the govt suffer its own media criticizing it because it is “independent” ?
On this issue, compare the US media. They are totally biased on domestic issues. But on international issues, they usually toe the US government line, especially if it involves any dispute of US with other countries. Rarely do you see editorials and media taking an anti-US position.
In India, the media has been so subverted by US and other lobby groups that rarely do you see any united pro-India position across all media.”
Zio-Christian India-Hating Federal Agent Behind Nanny-Gate?
UPDATE: There were a few other comments that deserved highlighting. One was a reference to the cows as India’s god. Ms. May said it would not be the first or last time she would insult India’s gods.
There was also a reference to their mali (gardener) as being less well-fed than a dog. This comment was made casually, as a joke. It seems to me that if the couple had such humanitarian instincts, they could have begun at home by feeding their mali better. It also suggests to me that whatever the motive for the “rescue” of Sangeeta Richard, humanitarianism had little to do with it.
Please compare the appearance of the mali in India (albeit at a posh Western embassy) with the appearance of the nanny in New York (Sangeeta).
The mali employed by the American is emaciated. Sangeeta is not. Moreover, the mali has a good job compared to millions of working people in India.
Conclusion? NGO psyop to demonize a country targeted for a color revolution.
UPDATE
I changed the post title so that it’s not CIA agent, but Federal agent, because on second thoughts, Mr. May’s daughter’s remarks, referring to her father as an agent, probably meant “federal agent.”
However, the utter synchronicity with which the US Marshals, State Department, and the NY DA Bharara acted shows that this whole operation was set-up as a government action, likely coordinated with the “modern slavery meme” which was pushed heavily in the mainstream media in September-October 2013 and has been taken up by Bill Gates and many other billionaire corporate heads. That was exactly the time when Khobragade’s efforts to locate the maid and charge her with theft and extortion were frustrated by the Delhi police (now we know why – the influential US embassy anti-terrorism chief who was in charge of liaison with the local police had turned the screws on him).
ORIGINAL POST
Now it turns out that the the Bureau of Diplomatic Security coordinator of the anti-terrorism program at the US embassy in Delhi, Wayne May (and his diplomat wife Alice Muller May), don’t much like India or Indians.
May is the guy who subverted the Indian judiciary, refused to let the police in Delhi act on Khobragade’s charge of extortion, got a T visa for the nanny, and “evacuated” her out of the country a couple of days before the diplomat was arrested, likely at his instigation.
The May’s Facebook page was taken down as soon as bloggers pounced on it, but someone saved it and uploaded it elsewhere.
See Racist American Diplomats at tumblr.com which has posted some of the FB comments, along with their own notes.
The FB comments show the Mays buying and selling duty-free goods at their place (illegally), boasting about having diplomatic immunity (for doing what they’re doing); enjoying rounds of parties, while complaining about India; referring to India as bizarre and to Indians as “vegans who rape.”
Apparently Wayne May is an “agent,” according to his daughter’s comments.
She could have meant CIA agent, or just meant the term (agent) generally. But in the circumstances, it’s likely that May is a CIA agent.
On further thoughts, although the whole business smacks of an intelligence psyop, I think she probably meant federal agent.
Readers of my blog will know that I’m not big on calling ordinary people racists, unless they advocate legal sanctions or murder.
But I do have a problem with DIPLOMATS in charge of security, who head anti-terrorism units and claim to run “community outreach” subverting the judiciary in a friendly country, creating huge ill-feeling with their high-handed actions, and posting puerile comments about their host country publicly on the internet.
Alicia Muller May and Wayne May
Blabbing exactly what you think makes for a great blogger, but a pretty bad diplomat. Or head of “community outreach” in the case of Mrs. May.
[Ms May is not alone. Here’s what Maureen Chao, the Vice-Consul of the US Consulate in Chennai said while trying to sell high-priced foreign universities to Indian students:
“I was on a 24-hour train trip from Delhi to Orissa,” the eastern Indian state, Chao continued, according to Agence-France Press. “But, after 72 hours, the train still did not reach the destination … and my skin became dirty and dark like the Tamilians.”
[Of course, she got sent to “re-education camp” after that, which was also pointless….but you get the picture of the deep-seated prejudices and preferences of the overlords of morality that supervise the imperial plantation.]
One wonders what kind of outreach Ms. May can do when she doesn’t seem to like being in the country and doesn’t have the self-restraint not to vent her feelings about it on the internet. It’s also very telling that Ms May has no Indians in her circle on the net.
What’s more fascinating than any specific comment is the overall tone. Nothing of substance or insight. Endless chatter with an all-American cast (no Indian friends) about wine, food, trips, and various dinners. Plenty of posts about negative news reports. Frequent references to America as “the real world.”
Mind you, these folks, as diplomats, live in the better part of Delhi, are exposed to little in the way of the real travails of Indian life. But even their own air-conditioned, sheltered enclave, with its duty-free imports, liquor and special privileges, is too demanding.
Had these comments been made privately, there would be nothing to say about them. Hundreds of blogs say far worse.
But they are dangerously inflammatory statements for diplomats charged with “anti-terrorism” coordination, responsible for thousands of lives – American and Indian- and for good relations between both groups.

Real US Diplomats Take Over From US State Dept
“The Keystone State Boychoir from Philadelphia, that gave a two-hour concert to a packed auditorium at the India International Centre Saturday evening, and got a standing ovation at the end, said they had heard about the diplomatic fiasco and were “deeply sorry” for whatever had happened.
“We cherish the friendship of the people of India and we are deeply sorry for what has happened,” said Steven M. Fisher, the assistant director of the Boychoir that regaled the audience with a repertoire of Christmas carols, American folk and Indian hymns that were the favourite of Mahatma Gandhi. The visit of the all-boys’s choir to India was facilitated by Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and his greatgrandson Tushar Gandhi.
The choir group was advised that this was not the right time to visit India because of heightened anti-American sentiments inflamed by the diplomat row that was caused by the mistreatment and humiliation of Devyani Khobragade, a young Indian diplomat who worked at the Indian consulate in New York, over alleged visa fraud and violation of workers’ rights following alleged exploitation of her Indian housemaid.
“But we found our reception in India incredibly warm,” said Fisher.
He said the group was even advised by American embassy officials not to sing American songs, but found no hostility among Indian audiences during their performances in New Delhi and Gurgaon and also with the children of the Salaam Balak Trust that works for the welfare and development of street children.
The choir also visited and sang at the Gandhi Centre at Delhi University, at the footsteps of the Jama Masjid and visited Gandhi Smriti, the site where Gandhi was assassinated Jan 30, 1948, where they sang Zikr, an Islamic chant, and Ramkali, based on a Hindu raga.
The Boychoir has performed in all seven continents, including in the Antarctica.”
10 US Embassy Cars Booked By India For Traffic Violations
Northeastwest.com
NEW DELHI: After removing barricades around the US embassy, curtailing privileges of US diplomats and expelling one diplomat in retaliation over the Devyani Khobragade case, the authorities have now asked Delhi cops to keep a close eye on the cars of the American embassy with the registration number 77 CD.Since Thursday, the city traffic police has booked as many as 10 cars of the US embassy for various traffic violations.
Violations include wrong parking, tinted glasses and ignoring traffic orders.
In fact, five cars have been booked for wrong parking and four for tinted glasses.
The traffic police have reportedly been told to show no leniency to any traffic violations by the US embassy vehicles. In case of drunken driving, there will be stiffer penalties and fines.
