NE India, Bangla Cropland Devastated By Unusual Flooding, Rains

Posted on by

Al Jazeera:

Days of heavy rainfall and flooding have left dozens dead and tens of thousands stranded in many parts of Bangladesh and neighbouring India.

In the northeastern Sylhet region of Bangladesh, floodwaters breached a major embankment, inundating dozens of villages and killing at least 10 people, local media reports said on Sunday.

More than 150 roads in the region were completely submerged, cutting off many areas and causing massive damage to the infrastructure, Bangladesh’s Daily Star newspaper reported.

In some areas, the floodwater had started receding on Sunday but many rivers were still flowing above danger levels.

Villagers said they had lost their homes and crops due to the flooding.

More On The Indian Army In WW II

Making Briton, UK

As in the First World War, Indian soldiers were called upon by Britain to help in the war effort. Despite the constitutional fall-out from Britain’s declaration of war on behalf of India, without prior consultation of Indian representatives, Britain could nevertheless rely on India’s support. The massive involvement of men and women from India in Britain’s war effort and her allies has remained a marginalized story of the Second World War. Indian soldiers provided manpower, equipment and auxiliary support in theatres of war throughout the world. Their contribution was vital to keep the supply lines to Britain open and to defend her borders at home and in the empire.

An Indian contingent provided vital backup to the British Expeditionary Force in France in 1940 and these mule transport companies were evacuated at Dunkirk and received praise from British officers for their discipline and exemplary conduct in the midst of chaos. They were stationed in Britain until 1943 to provide vital back-up on the home front. South Asians in Britain such as Cedric Dover and Sudhindra Nath Ghose worked as ARP Wardens in Civil Defence. Indian pilots such as Mahinder Singh Pujji, one of seven fighter pilots chosen to join the RAF, flew Hurricanes, engaging German aircraft in dogfights over the English Channel. He was one of 24 Indian Air Force pilots sent to Britain in September 1940 to fly with the RAF (including four other Sikh pilots: Shivdev Singh, Gurbachan Singh, Tirlochan Singh and Manmohan Singh). Tirlochan Singh and Air Marshal Shivdev Singh flew bombers, the latter making twenty-two operational flights over Germany and later commanding an Indian Air Force squadron in Burma. The Royal Air Force needed to make up a shortage in pilots by actively recruiting personnel from across the Commonwealth. It dispensed with the colour bar of the armed forces that stipulated that only ‘British subjects of pure European descent’ could join. After October 1939 people from across the Commonwealth, regardless of nationality or race became eligible to join the RAF. By the end of the Second World War, over 17,500 such men and women had been recruited, serving in a variety of roles. A further 25,000 served in the Royal Indian Air Force.

In addition to meeting her own requirements, India’s new factories maintained a regular supply of vital war materials to her Allies. Textiles were sent to 15 countries. India would supply 37,000 of the 50,000 different textile articles required by the United Nations in the war. India was the third largest consignor of supplies to Australia for the Pacific war. Russia and China also received much war material from India.

South Asian merchant seamen living around the ports of London, Cardiff, Liverpool and South Shields also played a significant role. These sailors helped to ensure that the supply lines to Britain remained open and provided vital manpower often working under atrocious conditions for less pay than their white counterparts.

The Indian Army played a major part in the operations in Italy, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, East Africa and the Far East. The Fourteenth Army in Burma was the largest single army in the world. Its battle front of 700 miles was approximately as long as the Russian front against Germany. Of the total force of 1,000,000 men employed in Burma ( S.E.A.C.), 700,000 were Indians. By the end of the war, the Indian Army won 31 Victoria Crosses. In all, 4,028 awards for gallantry were made. In WWII the Indian Army suffered 24,338 killed, 64,354 wounded and 11,754 missing.

Conspiracy To Assassinate PM Modi Uncovered

Posted on by

From Zee News:

An email has been sent to kill PM Narendra Modi, according to reports. The sender has reportedly saud that he has 20 kg of RDX and can kill thousands of people. “I’m planning 20 attacks across the country,” the sender says in the mail.  Going by the email, it sems that the person has grievances against PM Modi and says he has “destroyed his life”. In the mail, the sender further mentions that he is ” in touch with people who can do this job and will create major tragedy for this country. I have activated sleeper cells on February 28.”

 

RDX is otherwise known as cyclonite and is a chemical used in explosives, apparently.

Is this an April Fool’s Day prank or for real?

Pakistan PM Khan On Way Out: Blames Foreign-Funded Conspiracy

Posted on by

Pakistan PM and former cricketing super-star, Imran Khan, is set to leave office after losing key support needed to survive a no-confidence vote, only the third Pak leader to face such a challenge. The military and ISI are set to take over. There is now the dire prospect of instability in the nuclear-armed state.

A few days ago, at a huge rally he revealed that a foreign-funded conspiracy of which he later gave proof was demanding his ouster, because it did not want Pakistan to pursue an independent foreign policy.

Three weeks ago, Khan raged against the EU for telling him to vote condemning Russia, and asked, “Are we your slaves?”

Now the opposition has the votes needed to oust him.

Indian Missile Accident: Cui Bono?

Posted on by

I wonder if the Indian missile accident involved sabotage.

Who would want to provoke dissension and possibly war between India and Pakistan?

And why now?

The act could tie into the current unhappiness in the US with the Indian response to the Ukraine war; India, along with China, abstained from condemning the Russian action in the UN and has joined China, Brazil and others in calling for an inquiry into American bioweapons labs in the Ukraine.

Or it could tie into American unhappiness with India for continuing to buy Russian military technology.

Or it could be both.

New US sanctions on Russian banks will make it harder for countries to buy major defence equipment from Moscow, a US diplomat said, though no decision had been reached on Washington granting a waiver to New Delhi to take delivery of Russian surface-to-air missiles under an earlier contract.

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, the assistant secretary (of the US State Department) for South and Central Asia, Donald Lu hinted that the US may reconsider its position on waiving sanctions against India.

“The Biden administration will consider CAATSA [Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act],” Lu said on Tuesday, March 2.

From the description of the missile by Pakistan [if that was accurate and not deliberately misleading, as I suspect], it was a BrahMos, one of the fastest anti ship supersonic cruise missiles in the world, a joint Russian and Indian venture. BrahMos is a portmanteau of the names of two rivers, the Brahmaputra in India and the Moskva in Russia.

……. Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar briefed the media about the incident, calling for an explanation from Delhi.

“On March 9, at 6:43pm, a high-speed flying object was picked up inside the Indian territory by Air Defence Operations Centre of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF),” he told media persons in Islamabad, adding the object suddenly manoeuvred towards Pakistani territory from its initial course and violated Pakistan’s air space, ultimately falling near Mian Channu at 6:50pm.

“It was a supersonic flying object, most probably a missile, but it was certainly unarmed,” he said at the time.

“It is important to highlight that the flight path of this object endangered many international and domestic passenger flights — both in Indian and Pakistani air space — as well as human life and property on ground,” he added.

“Whatever caused this incident to happen, it is for the Indians to explain. It, nevertheless, shows their disregard for aviation safety and reflects very poorly on their technological prowess and procedural efficiency,” he further stated. [Dawn, March 11, 2022]

A report in Reuters gives more details, including the height of 40,000 ft, the speed [3 x speed of sound] and the distance into Pakistani territory, 77 miles. But the source is anonymous, a common technique by which the Mockingbird media seeds their reports with narratives crafted in the intelligence community. Thus, “One senior Pakistani security official told Reuters, on the condition of anonymity….”]

The allegation that this is a BrahMos missile is actually speculative.  Consider perhaps that a certain narrative needs this to be a BrahMos because the BrahMos has a range between 300 and 500 kms,  which allows the Pakistani official to claim that Indian missiles are actually trained directly on Islamabad. It also damages the reputation of the Russian and Indian technology and sows suspicion of Russian bona fides.

The Pakistanis relied on a Chinese air defense system that was very accurate in spotting the missile.

Oddly, last year, there were reports of problems plaguing Pakistan’s Chinese made air defenses in the east.

But the system that tracked the wayward Indian missile was most likely the cutting-edge HQ 9/P HIMADS (High to Medium Air Defence System) procured from China in mid-October, 2021.

Pakistani media has speculated that this was no accident but a probe to test the new system, which performed as desired.

Another speculative report is that it was sabotage from within India and the saboteur wanted to discredit the BrahMos missile on behalf of those wanting to continue importing from other foreign manufacturers.

Last year, India was stunned by the crash of one of its safest helicopters and the deaths of General Rawat and more than half a dozen senior military personnel. Rawat was known to have been staunchly against the defense import lobby which profits from gargantuan kickbacks as middlemen.

He was a major proponent of self sufficiency in defense.

Rawat died in a suspicious accident over the Nilgiris in the south of India last year.

Now comes this mysterious BrahMos accident [if it was BrahMos], a PR disaster for Indian missile prowess, as the Pakistanis have been quick to point out.

On the other hand, it is a PR coup for Pakistan’s Chinese air defense system. Again, what message is sent? By whom?

Covid Fascism: Chinese Military, Anal Swabs, Concentration Camps

Posted on by

From GreatGameIndia.com:

BGI Group, the world’s largest genomics company which provided COVID-19 tests worldwide including India, has been exposed as a front for the Chinese military. According to Bill Evanina, America’s top counterintelligence officer, Chinese military is trying to collect DNA samples from foreign nations using BGI Group as a front, for use in their Bioweapons program..

And, for anyone who still hasn’t figured out that the Wuhan virus is part of a sustained and coordinated biological, economic, and political attack on the world in multiple countries and fronts, by the globalist cabal, acting through China, the EU, and others, here are some new and grotesque developments:

More than a million people in China have already undergone anal swab tests, as part of an aggressive testing schedule covering 2 million people in 48 hours, in advance of the Lunar New Year, the busiest part of the year in China reported the Independent on January 27.  But while one infectious diseases specialist at a Beijing hospital, Dr. Li Tong Zen claimed that anal swabs returned fewer false positives, the deputy director of the Wuhan University pathogen biology department contradicts  this and affirms that Covid is a respiratory disease that does not spread through the digestive system or excrement. However, the anal swabs are now being used on air travellers entering China and in major cities across the country, along with longer quarantining, in response to the new UK strain of Covid entering China.

The anal swab may have little medical use, but its value as a tool for humiliating and violating people, and, if the swabs are monitored via camera, blackmailing them,  is unparalleled.

That these are fascist-state techniques of population control is clear from the simultaneous rise of “Covid concentration camps,” for “Covid dissidents” in none other than Germany.

 

Indian Jan 6?: Farmers Breach Republic Day Barriers, Clash With Police

Posted on by

The Republic Day parade in the Indian capital, Delhi, has turned chaotic, as protesting farmers, given permission to hold a rally after the parade, arrived early, broke through barriers, and clashed with lathi-charging police, in what looks like a reprise of the instigated and staged violence,  at the January 6 Capitol protests in the USA.  Violent riots, reportedly instigated, are now unfolding in Putin’s Russia as well. Billionaire leftist change maestro, George Soros, has poured money into attacking Trump, Putin, and others.

Meanwhile, the Italian PM has resigned.

Unlock 1.0: “You Can Keep Walking”

Posted on by

Ruchir Sharma in The Times of India:

“After three weeks the government began replacing lockdown 1.0 with looser versions, but rather than relax many upper class Indians were learning to love life under lockdown. They posted odes to recipe sharing, Netflix, Zoom cocktail parties, the clear view of the sky and moon as the smog lifted over an idle nation. They gasped over images of leopards venturing into shuttered cities like Chandigarh, 250 kilometres from Delhi. Ah, nature!

When I looked out of my living room window, I saw dorms for the community staff, and had to wonder how sublime this life could be for them. Does social distancing have any meaning for labourers packed six to a 200 sq ft room? Does a lockdown make any sense in such crowded living conditions?

Meanwhile the crisis was liberating for Indian bureaucrats and the police, self-important in normal times, “essential” during this crisis. Videos posted on WhatsApp showed police beating people caught on the streets without a satisfactory excuse, or forcing them to perform squats while holding their ears – a punishment common in government schools. The commentary was often less horrified than humorous, including one mash-up that went viral with cricket style play-by-play.

By mid-April many rich countries had started to debate reopening their economies. Protests were breaking out against lockdowns in the United States. In India, there was little public debate, much less protest.

[Lila: This is not true. There was plenty of debate, but it doesn’t get into the major English media, which is largely leftist, favor of an expansion of government, and inclined to criticize Modi reflexively from that angle. While, Modi appears to have followed the dictates of the globalists at every turn, he is commonly derided as being too insular. ]

The hardest hit, the poor and unemployed, seem to accept their misery as fate, likely unaware of evidence that the most stringent lockdowns are generating the most severe economic damage.

While the pandemic quickly became the leading cause of deaths in many countries, in India many more still die each week, mostly in rural areas, from diseases like tuberculosis or diarrhea. Still, the urban elite has the political influence and most continued to support a tough lockdown

“If the government lifts restrictions millions of illiterate Indians will pour into the streets and super-spread the disease,” says a friend.

Of estimates showing that each week the lockdown is pushing tens of millions of Indians below the poverty line, the elite’s standard answer is “The government should take care of them, just look how much the United States is spending on displaced workers.” Never mind that India has one-twentieth the average income of the United States, or that no bureaucracy, including those of much wealthier nations, is equipped to handle a sudden exodus of tens of millions of workers.

The irony now is that with India headed for what could be its worst post-Independence recession, economic pressure is forcing a retreat to lockdown lite, even as the virus case count surges.

Lockdown fatigue has set in. Confronted on the street by a police patrol after Delhi’s 7pm curfew last week, a friend pleaded that it was insufferable to go out earlier, with daytime temperatures around 45 degrees. “It is my job to make these announcements,” said the weary officer. “You can keep walking.”

German Experts: Covid-19 Panic, Fake News; Lockdown, Real Killer

Posted on by

From Strategic-Culture:

“Germany’s federal government and mainstream media are engaged in damage control after a report that challenges the established Corona narrative leaked from the interior ministry.

Some of the report key passages are:

  • The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level.
  • The people who die from Corona are essentially those who would statistically die this year, because they have reached the end of their lives and their weakened bodies can no longer cope with any random everyday stress (including the approximately 150 viruses currently in circulation).
  • Worldwide, within a quarter of a year, there has been no more than 250,000 deaths from Covid-19, compared to 1.5 million deaths [25,100 in Germany] during the influenza wave 2017/18.
  • The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm.
  • A reproach could go along these lines: During the Corona crisis the State has proved itself as one of the biggest producers of Fake News.

So far, so bad. But it gets worse.

The report focuses on the “manifold and heavy consequences of the Corona measures” and warns that these are “grave”.

More people are dying because of state-imposed Corona-measures than they are being killed by the virus.

The reason is a scandal in the making:

A Corona-focused German healthcare system is postponing life-saving surgery and delaying or reducing treatment for non-Corona patients.

Berlin in Denial Mode. The scientists fight back.

Initially, the government tried to dismiss the report as “the work of one employee”, and its contents as “his own opinion” – while the journalists closed ranks, no questions asked, with the politicians.

But the 93-pages report titled “Analysis of the Crisis Management” has been drafted by a scientific panel appointed by the interior ministry and composed by external medical experts from several German universities.

The report was the initiative of a department of the interior ministry called Unit KM4 and in charge with the “Protection of critical infrastructures”.

This is also where the German official turned whistleblower, Stephen Kohn, work(ed), and from where he leaked it to the media.”
