From the website of Ramana Maharishi:

“Not only good people went to the Ashram. Sometimes bad ones turned up also – even bad sadhus. Twice in the year 1924 thieves broke into the Ashram in quest of loot. On the second of these occasions they even beat the Maharshi, finding that there was very little for them to take away. When one of the devotees sought the sage’s permission to punish the thieves, the sage forbade him, saying:

“They have their dharma, we have ours. It is for us to bear and forbear. Let us not interfere with them.” When one of the thieves gave him a blow on the left thigh, he told him: “If you are not satisfied you can strike the other leg also.” After the thieves had left, a devotee enquired about the beating. The sage remarked, “I also have received some puja,” punning on the word in Tamil (poosai) which means ‘worship’ but is also used to mean ‘blows’. The spirit of utter    harmlessness   that   permeated  the  sage  and made even animals and birds make friends with him. He showed them the same consideration that he did to the humans that went to him. When he referred to any of them, he used the form ‘he’ or ‘she’ and not ‘it’. Birds and squirrels built their nests around him. Cows, dogs and monkeys found asylum in the Ashram. All of them behaved intelligently – especially the cow Lakshmi. He knew their ways quite intimately. He would see to it that they were fed properly and well. And, when any of them died, the body would be buried with due ceremony.”

Sibel Edmonds at Boiling Frogs Post:

“This morning I was very surprised to find at AntiWar.Com a long marketing piece written on an infamous Lap-Dog Watch-Dog. Written by an apparently ignorant contributor, Kelley Vlahos, the piece is filled with highly selective and sugar-coated promotional misinformation. Missing from this PR piece for this corporate NGO was its $4 million backing by George Soros, Rockefeller family members, Carnegie, and numerous ‘Secret & Classified’ corporate backers. That’s not all. For a site that has been promoting itself as anti government secrecy, Antiwar.Com’s not-so-bright Vlahos conveniently blacks out POGO’s record on supporting the Obama administration’s retaliation against whistleblowers, his pro secrecy actions, and his anti transparency campaign since day one of his presidency….”

Edmonds also adds this personal note:

“I have been a supporter of AntiWar.Com for many years. We have common readership with them here at Boiling Frogs Post. Granted, it’s been highly annoying to find more and more mainstream media (especially NY Times & Washington Post) generated news roundups at their website in the last few months, and less and less presentation of alternative voices. However, this one really goes beyond the level of my tolerance; as it should with many of their readers who have been dishing out $400,000 a year for them to remain an alternative. I hope their contributors will take this into consideration two months from now when they start beating the ‘help sustain us’ drum.  I know I am not going to support the next round until I see some signs of positive change…at least back to where they were before.”

Boiling Frogs Post:

“While Israeli authorities are making it increasingly difficult for non-violent international activists to visit the West Bank, suspected Jewish terrorists — members of the Jewish Defense League (JDL) — coming from France in recent days apparently had no difficulty reaching the illegal settlements which they claim they want to defend.

The FBI has described the JDL as a “right-wing terrorist group“. One of its most infamous charter members was Baruch Goldstein who attack unarmed Palestinian Muslim worshipers at a mosque in Hebron in 1994, killing 29 and wounding 125 others. On its website, the JDL says “We do not consider his assault to qualify under the label of terrorism,” in reference to Goldstein’s Hebron attack — they also describe him as “a brilliant surgeon, a mild-mannered Yeshiva-educated man.”

Shaykh Imran Hosein:

“Three stages of a master-plan

This essay suggests the existence of three basic stages in a mysteriously unfolding master-plan through which Israel seeks to realize her messianic destiny. The master-plan is culminating at this time when the so-called ‘chosen people’ have been brought back from 2000 years of exile to reclaim the Holy Land as their own. Their ultimate destiny, they believe, is to rule the world from what would appear to be a restored Biblical Holy State of Israel located in the Holy Land. That ultimate destiny appears soon to be realized, and so it is time enough for our readers to try to understand the subject from the perspective of Islam. In explaining those three stages of the master plan we can, in fact, also explain much of the history of international politics and economics over the last few centuries.

In the first stage, which lasted for a long time, a Pax Britanica world-order waged strange colonial wars on the rest of the world and eventually and cleverly succeeded in ‘liberating’ the Holy Land from benevolent Muslim rule, and in presiding over the birth of the imposter Euro-Jewish State of Israel. Along the way the world witnessed the strange and otherwise inexplicable event of a secular Britain pledging, in the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the secular British Government’s commitment to deliver a national homeland in the Holy Land to the Jewish people. Our thesis offers to readers an explanation for that mysterious British obsession with the Holy Land.

We must also carefully note that in the effort to establish itself as the ruling State in the world, Britain had to take the initial steps towards control of the world’s money. (See the writer’s seminar on ‘Islam and Money’ available on his website.) And so the British Sterling pound became the international currency, and Britain became the money-lender par excellence of the world. This was a unique event in monetary history.

Then in the second stage of that master-plan – a stage which is still in progress and which would last for a shorter time than the first – a Pax Americana world-order replaced Pax Britanica and proceeded to mysteriously protect the arrogant, aggressive and expansionist Euro-Jewish State with countless UN Security Council’s vetoes. That world-order has also been waging wars on Israel’s behalf in order to make the world safe for Israel to grow into a nuclear-armed super-power. Instead of the spectacular colonial wars which delivered to Britain the status of a ruling State, it took two world wars to bring about the transfer of power from the first to the second ruling State.

Our thesis offers to readers an explanation for that equally mysterious American obsession with the Holy Land.

There was, in addition, a monetary component to the process of emergence of USA as the second ruling State since the US dollar replaced the Sterling pound as the international currency, and USA became the money-lender par excellence of the world.

The history of these two ruling States, Britain and USA, suggests that whoever could achieve control over the world’s money, could also control the world. Control over money could be used to prevent the circulation of wealth through the economy, thus ensuring that the rich remained permanently rich and the poor were imprisoned in permanent poverty. Control over money could also be used to buy the allegiance of the rich who would grow constantly richer, and who would join the oppressor and assist him in controlling the world. It would also reduce the poor to such destitution that they would become immobilized and be unable to resist oppression. That is precisely the state of the world today and it constitutes a critically important goal of the master-plan.

And then in the third, final and briefest stage of the master-plan, a Pax Judaica world-order is about to replace Pax Americana. The passage from the second to the third and final ruling State in the master-plan is again taking place through a series of strange wars. Israel would soon replace USA as the ruling State in the world and when that occurs, a Jew would eventually rule the world from Jerusalem and claim to be the true Messiah! But he would not be Jesus the true Messiah. Rather, Prophet Muhammad explained that he would be Dajjal the false Messiah (Anti-Christ).

We are now very close indeed to the culmination of that devilish master-plan that has been ominously unfolding ever since the island Britain startled the world a few centuries ago by becoming the first ruling State in post-Biblical history (i.e., since David and Solomon created the world’s first ruling State).

Terrorism and the master-plan

The passage from the first to the second stage of the master-plan was initiated through an act of carefully planned terrorism, i.e., the assassination of the Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo in the summer of 1914. Those who planned the assassination (was Trotsky part of the plot?) also planted false footprints at the crime-scene that led to Russia. It paved the way for the First World War which, in turn, was successfully used to dismember the Ottoman Islamic Empire and to liberate the Holy Land.

The passage from the second to the third stage of the master-plan was also initiated through an act of less-carefully planned terrorism, i.e., the 9/11 terrorist attack on America. This time around the false footprints that were planted at the crime-scene led to Arabs and Muslims, and that created opportunities for an arrogant and power-drunk USA and its Euro-allies to wage a series of wars (still in progress) and to eventually impose total control over the world’s major oil resources that were not already controlled, – hence American war on Afghanistan and Iraq, and Israeli wars on Lebanon, Gaza Strip, and eventually Syria and Iran. War on Venezuela as well seems inevitable, and that, perhaps, explains the haste with which the ruling tribe in Trinidad and Tobago is seeking to establish its tribal dictatorship.

Today’s wars also allow USA/Israel to eventually control the new electronic money-system of the world that would soon replace paper money when the US dollar collapses. Anti-terrorism legislation and war on terrorism (which is a euphemism for war on Islam) would eventually pave the way, in the name of international security, for the imposition of a new international monetary system of electronic money. That monetary system would make the world even safer for Israel since anyone who dared to oppose Israel could be targeted as a terrorist and could have his wealth electronically short-circuited.

The most important point this essay makes is the world is now located at that moment in time when stage two of the master-plan is culminating and stage three is commencing…”

My Comment:

Being no scholar of Islam, I cannot tell how authentic the Shaykh’s interpretation of the Muslim prophecies are. I note that he is a graduate of the prestigious Geneva Institute of International Studies, from which leading globalist figures..and figure-heads…like Kofi Annan have emerged.  I note his resume, which includes ten years residence in New York City, weekly sermons at the United Nations, and participation in inter-faith dialogue with Jews and Christians.

I note that apocalyptic musings of all kinds feed the intransigence and mysticism from which revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements spring. I note that revolution and counter-revolution, like booms and busts, can be played very profitably, by nimble arms-merchants, spooks, counter-spooks, corporate-states, merchant traders, and pirate-raiders…

From John Kaminski [Note: Kaminski is a Holocaust revisionist, perhaps a denialist. I don’t know.

It is not a field about which I know more than the conventional wisdom, although I’m aware of the controversies around it. But to honor my own commitment to really PC-free speech on vital matters, I decided to publish this piece anyway, since the topic is riveting to anyone interested in that part of the world. Again, I make no assertions about its veracity or even plausibility:

“A second “nation” of Israel today is nearing completion smack dab in the middle of the world’s premier drug producing region, the Golden Triangle of Burma — located right on the border between India and the military dictatorship now known as Myanmar, which is the real model of the human future.

Activities presaging the creation of a second Israeli state are well-known in India, but not elsewhere. Most everyone remembers how the first Israel popped onto the world scene in 1948 and has continued mass murdering its neighbors and hapless nations that fall under its sway ever since.

Precisely, political stealth moves over the last three decades and an aggressive outreach effort by “rabbis from Israel” to convert inhabitants of the three easternmost provinces of India to Judaism have been reported for years by Indian patriots in the Himalayan foothills who seek to return their country to its much longed for pre-British liberty.

The Deccan Chronicle, a newspaper in Hyderabad, reported that by means of “a ritual bath,” rabbis promise penniless Christian, Muslim and pagan converts a trip to Israel and preferred employment status, then buy votes of peasants, take over local boards and pass laws to legalize their manipulations, the same way they do everywhere else.

While the core issue in this geopolitical expansion of Rothschild-Rockefeller money empire that controls the world is proximity to the centuries old center of opium production run by the generals in Myanmar, the creation of a new Israeli state in the exact center of China, India and Southeast Asia augurs badly for the peoples of the region, as the current level of destabilization among Israel’s neighbors in the Middle East clearly illustrates.

And not to be forgotten is that the world’s oldest still functioning oil field is located in this area and Tripura state is reported to be floating on a sea of natural gas.

This is a history that would shame Americans if they knew about it.

Back in World War II, the Burma Road was essentially built with American taxpayer money to provide an alternate route to ship opium out of China because of the Japanese blockade.

Vietnam vet and author Philip Ledoux writes:

“The Burma Road was built by America and France under the guise of humanitarian aid to the Chinese government. On the return trip, the Americans supplied and manned trucks hauled out of the Bay of Bengal hundreds of metric tons of Chinese white opium for the international markets.”

Bharat patriots in the Himalayan state of of Himachal Pradesh today describe the region as the new pot growing capital of the world, with Israelis in every community guiding the industry clear on up to the Indo-Tibetan border.

The latest news from that beautiful border area is this. Dharamshala became Tibetan Dalai Lama’s de facto capital ever since the Chinese annexed Tibet. Some of the world’s most high profile leaders and Hollywood stars (like Richard Gere) are regular visitors.

In these peaceful parts, what are 20,000-plus Israelis doing? Many in Manali town and its surrounding villages speak Hebrew. Near Dharamshala no less than 10 villages have been taken over by the Israelis. It has long been known that the Dalai Lama gets a very large annual stipend from the CIA, and is planning to create a Buddhist independent nation across the Himalayas, stretching from Ladakh in Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh in Northeastern India.

The war on Afghanistan and Pakistan by the U.S. is a drug war. The locals want to do away with drugs, but the Jews and U.S. want to keep profiting from this moneymaking scheme, because for centuries this particular secret industry has literally ruled the world with its profits.

The creation of a New Israel right in the middle of the major East Asian markets sheds new light on the American military assaults on Pakistan and Afghanistan, as its war against the Muslims of the region more and more resembles the Jewish-dominated political cooptation and military oppression in the Middle East.

Millions of penniless Indian and Bangledeshi peasants have for centuries provided slave labor to the British overlords who have always ruled Burma with puppets and who have plagued China and India with their opium. China in particular has every right to bear seriously ill will against the Jewish Sassoons of the world who control people’s minds through exploitation of their weaknesses.

This is the basis for all the wealth — the most “respectable” American and British families — that has been stolen and deposited in the bloody coffers of the Western corporate mindlock.

And the liberty-seeking peoples of the world suffer mightily from this “business” arrangement.

This is the most amazing story since Rabbi Moses Hess, Benjamin Disraeli and Lionel Rothschild wrote the Communist Manifesto and caused the American Civil War.

And the Jewish “outreach” never ceases.

Mizoram, Manipur and Nagaland. These are the three states that border Myanmar where sinister Jewish manipulation of desperate societies has become obvious.

The Milli Gazette Online reported:

The long-speculated view expressed by many observers that the United States seeks a foothold in the region seems to be vindicated when the US rushed, uninvited, to “help” Assam government soon after the Nagaland-Assam blasts. In its urgency, the US directly approached Assam chief minister bypassing New Delhi. The North-East, surrounded by many foreign countries including China and Bangladesh, appears, in a degree, to fit in a certain geopolitical strategy of Uncle Sam. The presence of religion-driven Christian militant groups seems to have created an atmosphere where an alliance of convenience may be forged between the interested parties. With a Church-backed “pre-empting” President at the helm in the US, the process of either making “revelational” biddings in the region or getting directly involved on some pretext seems to be on the cards. Many people suspect a complicit understanding between Christian missionaries (majority of them are from the US, and most of them are not innocent propagators of Christianity but linked to the worldview of Bush as shown by Vijay Prasad (“Eastward, evangelical soldiers!” Frontline, 12-25 February 2005) and the on-going drive to identify many tribes in Mizoram and Manipur as “Jews” (which has been earlier reported in the MG). This has far-reaching consequences.

And this:

Now the Aizawl-based Chhinlung Israel Peoples’ Convention, with a 0.25 million strength complete with a flag, is hoping to establish a “New Jerusalem” in the North-East. Streams of Jewish rabbis are coming to Mizoram and Manipur to refine the “Jews” to be ultimately fit to be an “integrated” member of the World Jewry. The Convention’s chairman, conforming to the present global trend of “fulfilling” Biblical prophecies, says, “The Torah (Old Testament) states that there shall be one holy land in the west and one in the east” (The Week, 12 Sep. 2004) . And this “New Jerusalem” has come up in the North East at the expense of the other peoples of the region.

This remote region of India north and east of Bangladesh is shrouded by the awful memory of what has come to be known as the Nellie Massacre, when in 1983 1500 Muslims were hacked to death after being promised it was safe to vote by Indian President Indira Gandhi. Numerous government inquiries produced no perpetrators and no motives, so typical in a government investigation when that government is controlled by Jews. Relations between India and Israel have warmed considerably in recent years.

The Nellie slaughter looked like a manipulated false flag massacre because Muslims and the indigenous Tiwas are not enemies. And it resembles the 9/11 coverup in the United States, where a major false flag operation was also blamed on Muslims.

The same result more recently occurred in Bombay, after 60 Uzi toting commandos shot up the Jewish Shabad House. On Nov. 26, 2008, a handful of terrorists, well trained and well armed, entered some high profile buildings and hotels, after killing three top anti-terrorist police officers and spraying bullets on common citizens in Mumbai. Latest information: 125 dead, around 300 injured some critically. Why was Shabad House never investigated? Muslims were rounded up, but the Jews, the ones who pulled the caper, were given a free pass, reminiscent of U.S Homeland Security czar Rabbi Michael Chertoff releasing 60 Israeli terror suspects immediately after the 9/11 incident.

Professor Michel Chossudovsky of globalresearch.ca stresses that the series of terrorist attacks across India seeks to create (a) social division between Muslims and Hindus within India, (b) tension between India and Pakistan, (c) conditions for US military operations inside Pakistan (which has been going on) and to expand the intervention in South and East Asia.

In regard to the Jewish outreach in easternmost India, The Deccan Chronicle also reported that Mr L. Thanggur, a church leader in Churachandpur, describes these conversions to Judaism to be only because of economic reasons.

“They are economic refugees. If they had better employment and income prospects here, they would have never dreamt of going to Israel,” said Mr Thanggur. In Israel too, some groups have attacked recognition of the Indian tribe by the chief rabbi. Social scientist Lev Grinberg said that Right-wing Jewish groups were promoting conversion of distant people simply to boost the Jewish population in occupied territories claimed by the Palestinians.

“The conversion ceremony is funded by the Israeli government through Shavei Israel, an organisation that has been trying to locate the 10 lost tribes of Israel,” Mr Fanai said.

Meanwhile, arrayed against this stealthy Jewish invasion are the Bharatas, who seek a return to pre-British India as a model of civilization for all the world to finally comprehend.

Bharatavarsha literally means the continent (‘varsha’, Sanskrit) that is dedicated (‘rata’) to light, wisdom (‘bha’). ”Our Vedic Rishis devoted themselves to the quest for the eternal truth and ultimate reality,” explains writer Sandya Jain in her essay ”Land of the Bharatas.”

“The duty of the Cakravartin is total conquest of all the directions (digvijaya) by means of superior moral and political powers, to unite the country under a single moral kingdom and prevent anarchy. Readers will note that the Cakravartin is not merely an ideal ruler, but a powerful ancient political concept, inspired by a vision of the Hindu bhumi (national soul) as a unity which was not belied by the presence of multiple centres of political power. That is why civilisational values permeated the whole land and gave the tradition its abiding continuity.”

“This political renunciation of a kingdom won illegitimately is a unique Hindu ethic.”

This seems like a very appropriate response to Jewish plans to build New Jerusalem in Nagaland.

Not only that, but it also sounds like a good way to get rid of this centuries-old toxin called Jewish imperialism and build a country in which it’s safe to build a home without having armed guards to protect you because you’ve stolen the land from someone else.

Richard Edmondson:

” If, as Keiser maintains, Wall Street bankers—the “financial terrorists” as he calls them—are deliberately creating financial havoc on a global scale, and thereby destabilizing whole countries, we have to ask ourselves: is the sole motive personal financial enrichment or are there other objectives? If other objectives are in play, could one of them be “softening up” the European and North American populations in an effort to make them more receptive to coming changes? After all, if the Gentile countries prove incapable of self-governance, many of the people in these countries will not only be more receptive to a Jewish-Hasidic world order that promises stability and a semblance of prosperity, some will actually beg for it.
Yes, affable, apparently pleasant human beings are what we see in the Chabad video. But we have to remember, these are people brought up on the holocaust narrative. From early childhood it is drummed into them, quite literally as a religious credo. Six million…six million…six million. They were very nearly wiped out, says the narrative. And hostile Gentiles the world over, in growing numbers, are simply waiting for the right moment, the right hour, to strike again, to usher in and initiate the latest chapter in a history of persecution stretching back thousands of years, a long segmented chain of victimizations perpetrated by irrational anti-Semites who spread blood libels about them and never seem to tire of repeating history. This is the narrative. And while it is believed to varying degrees, for some it becomes a central part of their self-identity. Am I overstating things? Perhaps. But if I’m not, we must inquire to what lengths such people, such self-identified victims, would go to thwart the presumed machinations of the anti-Semite masses, and would this include the carrying out of a false flag attack?—which could of course be construed as another blood libel, but at some point the narrative and reality, the real and the unreal, the imagination and the substantive, begin to fuse and merge with one another.

If the above-mentioned “softening up” is indeed one of the objectives, then a key function, either consciously or unconsciously, of the various AIPAC-type lobbies situated in Western countries would be ensuring that the most honest and qualified—in essence the most competent—people are excluded from holding public office of any kind. Such individuals would represent a serious threat to the game plan of deliberate destabilization. The “He doesn’t stand a chance of getting elected” refrain then becomes an important psychological underpinning for the new Jewish world order, and with each disappointing election cycle, the refrain becomes more ingrained in public consciousness, reinforced by a rapidly growing recognition that money is the Achilles heel of democracy.

Conveniently, Chabad is there, not only with a solution to these many ills—Jewish control of the world—but even a religion—Noahidism—for the Gentiles to follow and thereby reap the blessings of God as servants of the Jews. The message is: surrender your national sovereignty to the bankers and peace will come. Thus the history of the world progresses…from Pax Romana, to Pax Americana, to Pax Judaica. It is an advancing juggernaut of sorts, and I’m not sure conventional protests such as we’ve seen them in the past, or even rioting such as recently occurred in Britain, are capable of stopping it. What does have the power to derail it, in my view, is an awakening to a strong spiritual faith—though one far different, of course, from Talmudic Judaism or its bastardized “noahide” offspring.

Call me mad if you like; regard me as a lunatic religious fanatic if that’s what pleases you, but the only thing that can halt the juggernaut in my view is a powerful spiritual force among the people, one that would function not instead of, but in addition to, the aforementioned protests, and which would become a key and necessary component of them; a force that is both near and far, within and without, dwelling in every heart, and beyond darkness. Such a force exists. It is called God. It is a God who is infinitely merciful and loving. A God who invites the poor, the crippled, and the blind—or the “blemished” as they were regarded by the Judaic Pharisees—and who responds like a lover, who fills our seven spiritual centers, or “chakras”, when we offer ourselves. It is a God who lives inside us, and who rejoices when, in the words of Paul, we no longer “conform to the pattern of the world.”

My Comment:

The Pax Americana is really a Pax Anglo-Americana or Pax Brittanica.  In the sense that it is financed by the bankers (City of London), it is Judaic, though its Judaic nature is concealed by language.

It  would be more accurate, thus, to say that the Pax Romana was succeeded by the Christian empires –  the Holy Roman Empire in Western Europe, and, in the Near East, The Byzantine Empire. These were then challenged from within by the nation-states, and, from without, by the Mohammedan caliphates that rose in succession after the founding of Islam.

The merchant elites of these nation-states, the bankers, were largely Jewish, so that the Jews by default are identified with the rise and development of the modern state system, although their power was hidden behind the political figures on the stage.

The British empire was in this sense much less British than it was Jewish.

So, evidently, what has supplanted the Mohammedans for the last five hundred years (they are still fighting a rear-guard action) has been an Anglo-Dutch-Jewish hegemony, which, while it has increasingly become overtly Judaicized, was always so covertly.

In brief, since the Enlightenment, we have already been living under the Pax Judaica and the Hebraicization of religion and culture, from Maimonides to Spinoza to Marx  to Reich.

Modernity, as it is today, is no more than secular Semitism, in the words of Joe Sobran.

Note: These are incomplete thoughts. I don’t object in toto to this Hebraicization and see it as coterminous in many ways with “rationalization”, but it is a distinctively Judaic rationalization, owing certain features of even its most secular operations to Cabbala.

To a student of the occult, this cabbalistic underbelly of Western thought (the “wisdom tradition”) can be profoundly enriching, but when it is misconstrued in materialistic terms, it is also the very force working to destroy even the best elements of traditional religion.

Herein lies the problem…

Left-WingChristian writes:

“Were Perry a true follower of Jesus, he might well have quoted Christ’s beatitude, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” and issued a call for the wars to end; or perhaps he might have recited the parable of the Good Samaritan as an illustration of why programs to help the needy—programs almost totally gutted in recent years—now, more than ever, need urgently to be restored; or he could have reminded his listeners of Jesus’ uncompromising denunciation of the political leaders of his day—“Woe to you teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!”—and called upon all Christians to follow that preeminent example of standing up and speaking truth to power.

The fact that Perry did none of these things should not surprise us, however. Ten days ago I argued that in the Christian Zionist religion, Jews quite literally replace Jesus as an object of veneration and adoration, and that in reality Christian Zionists worship not Jesus—but Jews. Here in part is what I wrote:

In Christian Zionism, Christ is reduced to a minor, almost inconsequential figure. CZs are quick to point out that Jesus was Jewish, and that’s certainly a point in his favor where they are concerned, but the vast majority of his teachings are discarded. For CZs, the real object of worship is the Jewish people in a collective sense. Let me repeat that: CZs do not worship Christ; they worship Jews.

Extremely steeped in the Old Testament, the theology of Christian Zionism is driven by the belief that Jews are God’s “chosen people”, that they are therefore superior, and that it is the obligation of Gentiles to “bless” them (read: “serve” them) as is commanded in Genesis 12:3. Any concerns about Jesus come secondary to this. CZs view the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 as nothing short of a miracle of God, and this is a belief they are likely to retain no matter how many mass murders, genocides, war crimes, and crimes against humanity Israel commits. In fact, the more Israel does these things, the more CZs are likely to approve of it, for the Jews of the Old Testament carried out very similar acts.
A depoliticized god who favors Jews and has no qualms about war—it sounds pretty much like the sort of religion Zionists would prescribe for Gentiles. And indeed, as I went on to note, this is what Noahidism is all about. Heavily promoted by the Chabad Lubavitch movement, Noahidism in a nutshell is Christian Zionism with Jesus formally, finally, and irrevocably stripped away.”

Challenged America hedging its bets on India

So how does this play into India? With the Chinese threat on one side and the Islamic threat on other side the challenged America has developed a schizophrenic attitude towards India which is what I will explain to you. So United States is hedging its bets on India. That is why it is impossible to characterize America one way or the other with respect to India on a long time basis.

I am going to go through the left hand side of the slide first which is the move to build up India and the right hand side of the slide says Fragment India – thus two opposing views on India. The build up India voices in American think tanks and American policy and so on are saying let us invest in India financial capital, market and labor; let us have military alliances let us have regional political alliances. And the benefit is that it will counter China’s hegemony, it contains Islamic threat; it is good for US corporate interests and India will be a stabilizing force in the third world. But there is also a caution at the bottom that says that if this happens and India is too successful then in the long term we have another China like threat. One China is bad enough what if another brilliant people became another kind of China and as successful in competing United States and then we will have to worry about two kinds of Chinas. So while there is a voice that says let us build up India there is also a voice that is concerned that it may get out of hand and become too strong. Therefore let us come to the right hand side that says let us fragment India.

The “Fragment India” is a much older voice than the “Build up India” voice. The “Build up” India is more of a corporate voice and political voice over the last ten years. But the fragmentation of India is a voice that has been there since the cold war. In the fifties and sixties United States has had this attitude that .let us divide and rule. They built up this Dravidian movement; Annadurai was built up and all kinds of movements were built up to fragment India and play one against the other. When Nehru was pro-Soviet then the United States used the Dravidian movement to counteract Nehru’s programme of unifying India. So the fragmentation of India is a very old policy. And it says exploit Dalits vs. the Brahmins; Dravidians vs. so-called Aryans; Women vs. Men Minorities vs. Hindus.

And the benefits to the proponents of this voice are that United States Avoids China like competition; You can still outsource and use those laborers; you can get a whole lot of cheap laborers in India but they will never get out of hand; they will never be too strong and they will never rebel against you. You can still use them on your terms and you can keep them weak. It will also accelerate evangelism because when the state is weak then the evangelists can have clear paths and there will be less resistance to what they are trying to do. and what a great market for weapons exporters. Imagine if the army of Gujarat wants to buy tanks and the army of Maharashtra wants to buy anti-tank missiles, what a great thing for the arms merchants! Their stocks will go up if there is a disruption in India. If the disruptive forces of Hegde would become civil war that would be good news for weapons exporters.

Now the United States is also very concerned if this fragmentation of India happens. It is good to talk about it but if it actually materializes then it is worst nightmare for United States to have anarchy or chaos in India. with India many times the size of Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan it would be the worst nightmare for United States if there is fragmentation of India.

US Interventions in India

So I call this the Mother-in-law syndrome. Do I want the couple to be united and happy or do I want them to fall apart? If they are too united, they will not listen to me. I don’t have a voice. I do not have the power. So I have to go and meddle around and play one against the other and create some friction. But then if that gets to the point they would divorce and go apart , then again I am in trouble. So I kind of play between these two poles and do not want either pole to happen too much. So United States’ policy towards India keeps vacillating between these two poles of “Build up India” and “Fragment India” And you cannot expect a long term stability in the way.

I have also been studying for the past decade various US interventions in India. And this is a very significant chart. At the top is the United States – Academy, Government, Church, Funding agencies – how they work together and fund the money with US ideology in training, leadership training, all kinds of things to be done in India and India receives that through the academy, funding agencies, church subsidiaries, NGOs and so on. This is a kind of asymmetry because India does not do this up in the other direction.

Deconstructing India

And the way India is deconstructed, is shown here. This is how the “Fragment India” tank of the US looks at India: they look through both the secular lenses shown in the left and the Biblical lenses in the right and in between are the problems they study.

So the first building blocks to study are the castes, minorities and women. They keep showing that they have problems; they are oppressed and the civilization is bad. This feeds into a negative approach to Hinduism. And the negative approach to Hinduism feeds a negative approach to Indian civilization. Finally at the top there is a group of scholars who look at why India is not a valid nation-state; what is wrong with it and what are the human rights problems and other kinds of problems. So this is the kind of deconstruction of India template, if you will, which is quite commonly found in South Asian studies. By the way I have looked at the last thirty two years of conferences on South Asia which is held at Madison every year. I got all the proceedings and abstracts. They were surprised that somebody wanted to buy all of them. It portrays India as an anti-progressive country, frozen in time, poverty-causing like a patient with caste, Sati, dowry, feticide, untouchability etc with West as the doctor. Further India is mystical and the West is rational. Whenever I hear this very common statement in United States, I say “Look. The chances are that your doctor is Indian. He is not irrational or with some mystical background. And the chances are that the lot of technology you are using is Indian and it is not created by a bunch of mystical people but by pretty rational people. So why do you keep thinking that way? It is just one of the old stereotypes that have not gone away.”

Invasion Theory of India

Then there is this idea that everything good about India was imported into India. The so-called Aryans brought Sanskrit. The Greeks brought philosophy and rational thought; Hinduism was a colonial construction; Indian culture was started by the Mughals and British gave Indians a nation and cricket and now we have to import our human rights from America. So everything we need we should import. And I call this the invasion theory of India which means if we want something we should select who is the best invader who will give that to us. So we do not have any selfhood or we do not have any civilization we need to be invaded to have something of value. And this means that we are doomed to dependency also.

Afro-Dalit Project

Now what caught me started on this course of understanding America’s intervention with India’s break up was a very interesting meeting I had with a scholar in Princeton University. We were just sitting and having lunch and he has just come back from India and I said “What did you do in India?” And he said “Oh I went there as part of the Afro-Dalit project” So I asked him what is this Afro Dalit project. So he said, “Oh we go to India we do youth empowerment and training programmes” I said “It is very interesting. Can you tell me what it is? Who are the Dalits?” And he said “Well. … They are Africans. They are the blacks of India and the non-Dalits are the whites of India. And this is the black-white history of India which is mirroring the black white history of America. And the Afro-Dalit project is to educate our Dalit brothers.” This was amazing to me. And my whole thesis started when I started searching on Afro-Dalit project.

And there is a whole library of what they are up to and who funds them. And they are very much active in Tamil Nadu building up a whole network of youth empowerment and youth training to give them a contrary sense of history that they are historically a kind of oppressed people and non-religious and so on. The Church has a vested interest in it because if you can dislocate their identity from the rest of India then you can re-programme them and give them a new religion and so on. This is called Dalitstan project. So I was invited to this scholar’s office. And I saw this map. This is the map of the Dalitstan that was hanging there. On the northern part is Mughalstan which is from Afghanistan, Pakistan and all the way to Bangladesh. This turns out to be what Mullah Omar says when he states that he wants to put the flag of Taliban on the red fort of Delhi and recreate the Mughal Empire. And the southern part of India is Dalitstan and Dravidstan. So these guys are working on it. So I was very much amazed that nobody is talking about it. Nobody seems to have noticed. Yet these guys have an open project. If you just Google Afro-Dalit you will come across a lot of hits and you yourself can see that. Then I started getting deeper into it and found that there is merit in the thesis that says that the local minorities are being appropriated by global nexuses. Afro-Dalit Project is just one example.

“Disruptive Forces” – Frontier India

So Hegde’s “Disruptive forces” of 1992 have turned into Frontier India mindset where the following wild things are happening. Local minority is co-opted as a branch office of some Global Nexus; many minorities are apart of some global majority and are used for trans-national agendas; third world intellectual franchises are set up to deconstruct their own nation.

It is very interesting that America’s very own sense of nation is becoming stronger and stronger and also the nation of China, the nation of Russia and the nation of Japan are becoming stronger and they are not deconstructing. They are not going out of style. And the European Union is becoming a strong super nation. But somehow the intellectual fashion of the day that is being exported to Indian intellectuals and third world intellectuals is that please go back to your country and deconstruct yourselves. We have to ask them to first do that to themselves. Now you may say that there is a lot of post-modernism in American campuses and they are doing it to them also. But they are doing it from the fringes. The people who are doing it do not have clout. Nobody takes them seriously. The media does not quote these kind of people. They are not policy makers. They do not influence think-tanks. They just are cocoon in the academy and doing some deconstruction of America but the powers to be are very patriotic and the nation state is as strong as ever.

Minorities as part of Global Majorities

So this also led me to question the definition of minority. And I want to leave this provocation with you.

If you are at the Macdonald’s in Delhi and you have local establishment with twenty employees you would not say that this is a minority institution. You would say that it is part of global empire. It is part of a huge global multi-national. Some one may say that all these twenties are from minority classes in India. You will still not be convinced because as individuals working there may be minorities in their personal capacity. But the institution they are working for is a branch office of a large multinational and not a minority. Now why don’t you not apply the same thing to the Southern Baptist Church or Baptist Church which is a huge multinational which has set up a big network of churches in Nagaland and Tamil Nadu and they have a plan of twenty thousand churches in South India. So why do you call them minorities and not call them branch offices or subsidiaries of global multinationals? Why is it that if the product being sold is God’s love then all of a sudden the rules of the multinational do not apply? Because it is God’s love, God’s love is exempt from scrutiny and transparency.

I would submit to you that the definition of minority has to be modulated and if a minority is working for or funded by appointed by trained by a foreign global nexus, then it is not really a minority. It is part of a bigger enterprise. And that enterprise should be studied rather than these isolated twenty thirty people in a place whom we call minority. So I even provoke you to rethink the definition of minority itself in this age of globalization.

Positive India narrative

Now there is a new positive India narrative in the US Business schools. this is the response we like to hear. Finally India’s time has come because I have lived there for last thirty eight years and only in the last seven years this voice has started. Otherwise there is always there is only the kind of discourse that I have stated earlier. Now there is positive focus on investment, markets, labor force and all that. So what we have are two competing discourses. There is a positive discourse which says “Build up India” and this is primarily in business schools. So when my friends want to donate something for the study of India or South Asia, I always tell them to give it to the business schools and not to South Asian studies because South Asian studies are built on fragmentation of India -“Why India is a problem” kind of thesis built upon the old humanities or social sciences.

And now the irony is that both these views are also encased in India. In India also you have the technocrats, industrialists those kind of people who believe in a positive sense of India. Then you also have people in social sciences (and a lot of social science views are actually imported) in India who do not have faith in India as a nation. So you have both voices within India also.

Hypothetical situation for US intervention in India

Now I come to a more troubling part of my thesis.

I am going to give you hypothetical scenario for US intervention in India. Suppose South Asia becomes the epicenter of USA vs. Islam which can happen. Suppose the Taliban takes over nuclearized Pakistan. Ten years ago I wrote a paper on such a scenario but did not publish it because I thought it was sensational but today it is a possibility. What can happen is Taliban takes over ISI and ISI takes over the Pakistan army indirectly and we all know that Pakistan army runs Pakistan. So Pakistan could have a democratically elected government which can act as a nice front for PRO purposes but really they do not have the power and they do not call the shots. It is even worse than having Musharaff. Because at least there it was transparent as you were dealing with an army. But here Pakistan can fool one to think that they are dealing with some group of importance while really that group does not have any power. Let us say under such scenario Taliban takes over Pakistan and thus is now nuclearized Taliban. Now let us say US is fighting and years go on and the causalities build up and US faces economic pressures at home and another election is coming. So this fight turns into Obama’s Iraq. This fight with Talibanized nuclear Pakistan becomes Obama’s liability and US is desperate to exit but exit with honor.

< p>So Obama or the future president has to figure out a way for exiting. So when the US exits, after having flared it up, then it has become a mess that somebody is going to encounter and guess who is going to bear that brunt of it? that will be India. I will also surmise in this hypothesis that Taliban will then have their vision of setting up that Mughalstan. They will see that they have enough disruptive forces sitting in India which can be incited by them and then they can get going with a huge revolution. Now that US has gone they can take over. Number Two. United States may also have another kind of intervention in India which is to safeguard Christians being persecuted. Some of you may think this is far fetched.

But when I started to research on this I saw a Wall street journal front page article two or three years ago titled US evangelists driving foreign policy intervention. It is a very long article that showed a hundred years history of evangelicals not only driving domestic policies like abortion and gay and nowadays on stem cell research very successfully but also very strong on foreign policy. And all foreign policy they want is that the United States should intervene wherever there is a pocket of Christians who consider themselves to be under threat. Once the United States agrees that that is the policy then they go and create some trouble and use that to bring United States intervention in there. Now the dossier of such cases of persecution of Christians in India is growing and it is a huge dossier in United States and there are regular hearings in Washington for which they invite those Indians who complain and there is a long line of such people who are granted Visa and travels grants to go and give testimony in the US congress. Also there are well organized networks in India which have been funded by these entities to provoke trouble, to monitor persecution and then go over to report and lobby in Washington. This is all over the US media. So United States may decide “Ok Taliban has got North India. We can go and intervene here and there and get some Christianized pockets in South India. We have built our own base there and we have built a network of support.” So this is the worst case scenario.

Now similar analysis also applies to Islam and China intervening, as each of them has stakes in India and ambitions in India. One can do scenarios like what if China and Pakistan jointly take military action. China would love to have Arunachal Pradesh because of the water -the Brahmaputra river water which can then be taken to Tibet. China would love to take Nepal because most of the water that comes to Ganga comes from Nepal and filters down to India. So this fight over water makes this geography very strategic and China would love to have all these. So you could build four scenarios of type A which shows how globalization brings civilizational threats to India.

What India can contribute to the world?

Now I shall go to part- II. Now I want you to set aside the disturbing scenario I have explained. Now let us see what is positive that India can offer to the world -how India could be a successful civilization and do positive things.

So to start with what are the problems the world faces where India can offer a solution? I will list just three. One is that development- the cycle of economic development is not sustainable or scalable. It is not ecologically possible to have development of such large number of people and achieve the per capita consumption of the western standard and also you cannot scale to the whole world. Then the Abrahamic civilizations are based on exclusivity and a mandate to take over the world and that is not going to sustain peaceful environment. Finally the human rights laws that exist protect the individual but not cultures. There is no law broken if the language is made extinct or if your culture or your rituals are gone. If you as an individual are not violated then the culture as an entity does not have a status. Only the individual has a status. So I will not go through this in detail because that will be a whole presentation by itself on what are some of the contributions that Indian civilization can make. There is a large reservoir of know-how of consciousness development, enhancement – what is called mind-sciences, intuition, creativity which is now at the cutting edge of western research in cognitive sciences, neuro-sciences, psychology and this is an asset that India has which is actually being acknowledged by the scientific community. So India brings a lot in this dimension.

There is a whole worked out system in Indian society on ecological sustainability starting with being content with less consumerism. The whole Ashrama model where you divide life into four stages has you as a consumerist in the second stage as householder (Gruhasth). But in the stages before and after that you learn life to be happy without much consumerism. These are social models which may be of application to world order where you cannot expect every body to live hundred years old and be a consumerist from zero to hundred at the American level.

Then there is the concept of groups that are de-centralized and self-organized without a state or a very centralized government or authoritarian government running the show. This is a very old Indian social organization that is highly de-centralized and the groups do not need some one else to give them laws and commandments as they are very well self-organized. There is the banyan tree metaphor which is sometimes used to describe this kind of society that is not one trunk or one system but lots of it together. And all of this results in pluralism, dignified aging and decentralized social security. In India we have dignified aging because you do not end up in old age home. But today because of modernity you do. Old age homes have been started here because of the tendency to westernize. But the tradition has a dignified aging. And there is kind of social security from one’s own community. Jaathi was social security network. But now we break families now and we break Jaathi structure and make it into caste. Now who is going to give you old age security? State does not have the money. Even in United States, the social security is going broke. So I do not think any country like India can provide such social security. So these are some ideas regarding Indian civilizational contribution.

 This year’s Agora licensitarian symposium plays off a piece I wrote for LRC in 2009, which got a lot of reaction (”Flight and Fight”). In it I describe alternate responses to the crisis in the US, in terms of limbic reactions.  My stats-counter showed me thereafter who was watching  those pages and the responses….

And, lo and behold, after a discreet waiting period, the idea reappears with a careful nod to the person who coined the physiological term…which is so well-known as to be in the public realm…… but with no nod at all to the person who applied it to possible libertarian strategies to defend against the financial crisis. 

        So much for Internet marketers.  They’re like the kid who goes out of his way to point out something relatively trivial that he did wrong, hoping that will divert you from the bicycle he’s pinched from the neighbors. Fools some of the people, I guess.

So too elaborate and insincere “apologies” for non-existent/trivial failures of attribution provide cover for continual pilfering that’s never acknowledged let alone corrected.

The right hand shakes your hand while the left hand picks your pocket. The right hand pretends it’s never seen the left hand.  And the head stares in the other direction or feigns shock at the goings on below, rather like a prim cat doing potty.

 Such pseudo-libertarians turn out to be no better than the statists they fight. The Pseudos steal openly, confusing the “freedom” of the jungle with the freedom of a  civilized society, all the while mouthing unctuous platitudes about morality and the family. On the other side, the statists steal under color of law,  mouthing pieties about the poor, the third world and minorities, about whom most of them know little and care less. 

For honest people, there is nothing to choose between the two groups.

The real problem is public culture itself. Long moribund in the West and much overrated by credulous immigrants sickened by their own cultural failures, it  is now visibly and irretrievably putrid.

Only the awareness of the reality of the mind-body will change things, not politics. If this be obscurantist, so be it.  The one who knowingly steals from another, steals from himself and from his children.  The imperialist who believed his robbery of unfortunate “others’ went unnoticed by fate, finds that fate herself has planned a visit just for him.  If the visit is in ten days or ten years, what difference does it make?

My latest piece at Lew Rockwell, answers some questions readers had asked me about leaving the US:

“My last piece, “Time to Run,” provoked a lot of reaction, almost all of it positive, but some negative.

The readers who liked it wanted advice on where to run. That’s a tall order and I’ll come back to them in another piece.

Those who didn’t like it brandished a few arguments that ought to have a stake driven right through them immediately.

Here goes, point by point.

1. Running away doesn’t help

1. Actually, running away is often the best response to a bad situation.

Speaking practically, when a dump truck turns into your drive, mows down your rhododendrons and heads toward you, do you stand your ground yelling Sicilian imprecations at the driver until he rolls over you too? Or do you leap aside nimbly, take a photo, and call a lawyer? You have as much chance getting through to the poisonous shills in DC with constitutional arguments, as you have charming a rabid pit bull with Shakespeare.

Speaking theoretically, your body and brain are hardwired to either put up or shut up, a “fight or flight” response built into the structure of the autonomic nervous system. That is the physiological term for what you think of as your “lizard brain.” Fight or flight is the either/or response that helped your ancestors survive. It’s not the best way to tackle complex problems, but when it gets down to basic survival, it’s a handy guide.

And how do you know when your survival is at stake?

Check your gut response…..”
