The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Nepal: Irresponsible Prime Minister

=20

Editorial / http://telegraphnepal.com/news_det.php?news_id=3D7776



In general, the people believe that their Prime Minister is a benevolent po=

litical personality and that he would speak the truth and nothing more than=

that. The people also hope that their Prime Minister is a sound personalit=

y who could in no way behave as a mentally retarded person. And finally the=

people also expect of their Prime Minister that their guardian would enjoy=

the trust of the people and behave in a desired way.

Nothing of these sorts unfortunately could be found in our incumbent Prime =

Minister-Madhav Kumar Nepal. So sad.

The fault lay not in Mr. Nepal. We absolve him from his blunders that he ha=

s committed in abundance during his one year plus Premiership. The fault la=

y in essence who made this particular buffoon as Nepal=E2=80=99s Prime Mini=

ster or facilitated him for the high rank that he did not deserve. Primaril=

y, Comrade Prachanda must be taken to task as to what encouraged him from w=

ithin to bring in this =E2=80=9Celection=E2=80=9D defeated candidate into t=

he CA premises wherein some 601 white elephants still have been shamelessly=

grazing the grass inside the same premises and the one year extension will=

eventually damage the very shape of the entire area wherein the white elep=

hants occasionally meet and pocket their monthly allowances. It would event=

ually turn into a barren land.=20

Prachanda perhaps thought of the past obligations of Mr. Nepal who had met =

him in Lucknow and Siliguri, India, during the People=E2=80=99s War being w=

aged by being in an alien soil against his-Prachanda=E2=80=99s- own country=

and may have concluded that though election defeated but yet Madhav Nepal =

could well become a good friend of the former rebels while joining the main=

stream Nepali politics.

But Madhav Nepal proved himself to be composed of a different stuff when he=

became the Prime Minister of this country last year May 22, 2009.

An enraged Prachanda even coined Madhav Nepal as a puppet Prime Minister an=

d still takes Mr. Nepal to be so. Prachanda told a mass gathering that he b=

rought a poison tree. PM Nepal remains yet undeterred. What is or who is b=

ehind Nepal PM is anybody=E2=80=99s guess and thus no more explanations wer=

e needed.

Now to come to the point.

Look at how much irresponsible Nepal Prime Minister is which he himself pro=

ved to be the one very freshly.

Dr. Bhakta Man Shrestha of the Bharatpur Cancer Hospital was abducted May 1=

8, 2009, and thankfully the involved ones in the medical practitioner=E2=80=

=99s abduction freed him, June 5, 2010, morning at Majhimtar, a place on th=

e way to Narayanghat-South of Kathmandu.

The declared lethargic Nepal Police kept on the population guessing for mor=

e than fifteen good days but yet the police could not forward any convincin=

g clue as regards the abduction of the Doctor. It was the benevolence of th=

e abductors that they freed him finally after a long span of some nineteen =

days. Kind criminal gang. Thanks a lot to you kind hearted souls that you h=

ave proved yourselves to be. Criminals with kind souls could only be found =

in Nepal and that is why we claim that Nepal is a unique country from the r=

est. We thanks you the abductors from our inner hearts.

At best the police said, =E2=80=9CWe are now very close to the Doctor and i=

n a matter of days=E2=80=A6the abducted doctor would be recovered=E2=80=9D.

That was not forthcoming. The doctor was mercifully freed by those who abdu=

cted him for some mysterious reasons.

While the redundant Nepal Police was still investigating the abduction case=

but with no results, Nepal=E2=80=99s crane elevated Prime Minister bluntly=

told a visiting foreign delegation that the =E2=80=9CMaoists are involved =

in the abduction case=E2=80=9D.

Firstly, Nepal PM=E2=80=99s blunt remarks made against the Maoists could be=

taken as a ploy to malign the Maoists. Or else why instead of the Police a=

uthorities, the Prime Minister took the pains and declared that Maoists did=

this heinous act?

Nowhere in the world except the investigating agency, the country=E2=80=99s=

Prime Minister himself announces the criminals involved in such a case of =

abduction. But our Prime Minister did this task and that too beamingly.=20

The Nepal PM could be right in his observation but that should have come fr=

om a competent investigating agency which it did not. This explains our PM=

=E2=80=99s notoriety.=20

This does mean that the Prime Minister wanted to damage the Maoist credenti=

als further and push it to a point of no return for certain obvious reasons=

. The Maoists are demanding his Head.

However, this does not mean that we are hell bent on saving the Maoists. It=

is not that and thus should not be taken in that way. The Maoists are stil=

l being held suspect for Dr. Bhakataman=E2=80=99s abduction. The party of t=

he former rebels has yet to clarify their stance in this regard in a more c=

onvincing way. They are still under the periphery of suspicion. They will r=

emain under the ambit of suspicion until they clarify their non-involvement=

in the entire abduction 19 days long drama.

We just wanted to tell the valued readers that why the Nepal PM came to the=

scene and bluntly alleged the Maoists to have been involved in the abducti=

on of the Doc?

How he knew in advance that the Maoists did this heinous act? If he knew in=

advance then why the PM kept the entire nation in a complete dark for seve=

ral days? And more over, should a PM exceed his limits and penetrate into t=

he jurisdiction of the investigating agency? Nepal PM is advised to join an=

Intelligence Agency the day he comes to the foot path that is eagerly awai=

ting his arrival. He has the talent.

The Maoists are though not good apples but yet Nepal PM=E2=80=99s whimsical=

remarks associated with a bit of vengeance does tell that Madhav Kumar Nep=

al wanted to prove among the population that the Maoists though have come t=

o the mainstream politics but yet remain plagued with the same jungle minds=

et.

Question is thus who or which force on earth injected this talent and intel=

lect in our PM=E2=80=99s brain?

The damage game being played by the Nepal PM together with his coalition co=

lleagues against the Maoists, may, time permitting, prove dangerous for thi=

s country which has just seen one year extension of the redundant CA body.

If such blame game continues for long then several extensions will be neede=

d and in the process Nepal may lose its unique identity. Prachanda=E2=80=99=

s sudden dash to Helambu should be taken in this light. He may be planning =

big.

The rest we leave it to our readers to analyze and make conclusions.

Nepal: What are the Options?

Niraj Aryal=20

http://telegraphnepal.com/news_det.php?news_id=3D7780

A top Maoists=E2=80=99 leader was recently asked by a senior journalist at =

a seminar to categorically state what positive contributions his party made=

to this country? The Maoists=E2=80=99 leader got nervous in the beginning =

but, later controlling his composure he began outlining those one by one.=

=20

Mass awareness, inclusion=E2=80=A6..federalism, secularism and finally, the=

Republican order.=20

Pat questioned the senior Television journalist, =E2=80=9CDo you think that=

the republican order was your gift to the nation?=E2=80=9D

=E2=80=9CObviously, we were the first to demand abolition of monarchy=E2=80=

=A6we convinced the parliamentary parties to accept our demand, we had the =

people behind us and thus the monarchy was uprooted=E2=80=9D, said the Maoi=

st leader beamingly.

The discussion was taking place during the Lunch Break thus there were not =

many people except few Nepali Congress and UML leaders listening to the con=

versation between the two.=20

=E2=80=9CThen, tell us why have you failed trying hard for over a year peri=

od to force peoples=E2=80=99 rejected Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal out=

of office?=E2=80=9D

=E2=80=9CBecause, he is India=E2=80=99s puppet Prime Minister, it is as sim=

ple as that=E2=80=9D replied the top Maoist leader. It seemed that he was n=

ot quite sure of what he was trying to say.

=E2=80=9CWhy do you think you could easily convince the parliamentary parti=

es to uproot the institution of Monarchy but failed miserably to convince t=

he same bunch of parties to make PM Nepal resign?=E2=80=9D

The NC and UML leaders looked very happy with the ongoing interesting quest=

ion and answer session but, preferred not to interrupt in between. They wer=

e just the listeners.=20

The seminar was organized at a Five Star Hotel in Kathmandu just few days a=

head of the May 28 Three Points Deal to extend the Constituent Assembly ten=

ure by 12 months.

After a brief pause, the Maoists=E2=80=99 leader replied, =E2=80=9CIndia wa=

nts to sideline us, they want Madhav Nepal to continue.=E2=80=9D=20

=E2=80=9CIf it is India again then how could you conclude that the Republic=

an order was your gift to the country=E2=80=9D, the Journalist continued wi=

th his sharp questions.

Thanks God that few people had already entered the seminar hall thus saving=

the revolutionary leader from further embarrassment, thus the discussion e=

nded. He only said he would continue the friendly discussion at an opportun=

e moment.

Be that as it may the Maoists=E2=80=99 leaders have come to their senses an=

d perhaps also comprehend the fact that no change is possible here without =

Indian support. And, that the rhetoric that the Republican order was their =

gift to the nation was nothing more than a laughable stock.

However, the Maoists now concede that they are left with very few options.

First, quietly accept the present fate, which means to accept being further=

sidelined.=20

Second, abide by the instructions of the defeated ones i.e. slowly transfor=

m themselves in to a Civilian party much similar to the Nepali Congress and=

United Marxist Leninists.=20

Third, come to terms with India i.e. assure the big brother that they mean =

no harm to them.=20

Last but the most difficult and dangerous option would be to shun the luxur=

ious lifestyle of Kathmandu and take to the Jungle course i.e. announce a r=

evolt soon. Earlier the better, if they want to regain their lost revolutio=

nary image.
