Indian meal starter lasts 50 years
|
|
By Zubair Ahmed
BBC News, Mumbai
Eighty-year-old Jaswantiben Jamnadas Popat defies her age.
She seems more agile and active than her grandchildren.
|
"I don't want to stop working," she says with youthful determination.
Mrs Popat is the only survivor of a group of semi-literate Gujarati housewives who founded Lijjat Papad 50 years ago.
She will be celebrating the Lijjat golden jubilee on 15 March with 45,000 other women who are part of the women-only co-operative.
Mrs Popat cannot believe that what started as a desperate move to "supplement the family income" 50 years ago has come so far.
She says after taking a deep breath: "I feel I am living in a dream world. When we started our business it was not meant to become so big."
'Seven sisters'
It is indeed a big business today, with an annual turnover of nearly $100m and a flourishing exports account to boot.
Papads, or poppadoms, are the traditional restaurant starter and go with dips and chutneys. They are a thin wafer of lentil, chickpeas, black gram, salt and oil. Various types of seasonings are added.
The Lijjat trade began when seven Gujarati housewives decided to exploit the only skill they knew — cooking.
Mrs Popat says: "We were semi-literate which restricted our chances to get jobs. But we realised our papad-making expertise could be used to earn small amounts of money to help our husbands reduce their financial responsibility."
On 15 March 1959, they gathered on the terrace of an old building in a crowded South Mumbai locality and rolled out four packets of papads to sell.
The "seven sisters", as they are fondly remembered, started production with the princely sum of 80 rupees (now $1.50), borrowed from a good Samaritan, Chaganlal Karamsi Parekh, a social worker with entrepreneurial brains.
| |||||
Mrs Popat pays handsome tribute to Mr Parekh's contribution to their success story.
"He advised us that if we wanted to experience success, never accept donations. We have never ignored his advice."
Soon the entrepreneurship expanded in Mumbai's overcrowded and poverty-stricken shanty towns.
Three months later the business had 25 women. Word quickly spread about the quality and taste of the poppadoms.
The trade began to expand as a co-operative. In a few years they had branches all over Mumbai and in subsequent years all across India.
Foreign dignitaries visited their factories.
The women received one award after another.
Exports flourished.
They were on a roll — from poppadoms they branched out into soaps, savouries, chutneys and pickles.
Sustainable model
But apart from following the advice of Mr Parekh, what is the secret of Lijjat's success? After all there are other poppadom makers all across the country.
Mumbai-based businessman and entrepreneur Sushil Jwarijka explains: "Lijjat papads are a perfect example of how a sustainable business can be built, providing large-scale employment to rural women, who are illiterate but skilled.
| |||||
"And when such skills are given an organisational structure on a co-operative basis a long term sustainable model assures success."
Jyoti Naik, who runs Lijjat's head office in a Mumbai suburb, joined the co-operative 40 years ago.
She says it is the women's sense of financial independence that has made a small enterprise into a big business.
"These women work here to help raise their children and be financially independent," Ms Naik says.
Priyanka Redkar, 35, was just nine when she began rolling out poppadoms alongside her mother.
A deeply family-oriented mother of two children, Priyanka exudes the confidence of a woman who knows her place in society.
"Today I can say I am financially independent.
If my husband doesn't give me any money I can support myself and children.
I don't need to beg and borrow."
Ranjana Khandare was born into the Lijjat family.
Hardships and extreme poverty meant she began helping her mother when she was barely a few years old.
| ||||||||
She has no regrets: "All my life I have worked here. I know no other skills. But papad-making has made me independent. I pay tuition fees for my three children and my husband runs the kitchen."
Financial independence for these women translates into empowerment.
Most of the 45,000-strong female workforce live in slums or one-room hutments, with communal bathrooms and toilets.
They are still part of what is known as the working class.
But working for Lijjat Papads gives them financial security.
They are now capable of taking decisions, sending their children to schools and keeping their men on the straight and narrow.
Mr Jwarijka says it has done their self-esteem the world of good.
Indeed the Lijjat women seem to have proved that success does not necessarily need money and infrastructure, as long as there is determination.

Atrocities committed by Israel — graphic pictures What CNN nor the BBC ever shows you |

(Short Answer: All Of It) |
The Market Ticker
Thursday, March 5. 2009
Just so you have a short list of what's at stake if Washington DC doesn't change policy here and now (which means before the collapse in equities comes, which could start as soon as today, if the indicators I watch have any validity at all.
For what its worth, those indicators are painting a picture of the Apocalypse that I simply can't believe)
The FDIC will be unable to cover bank failure obligations.
They will attempt to do more of what they're doing now (raising insurance rates and doing special assessments) but will fail; the current path has no chance of success.
Congress will backstop them (because they must lest shotguns come out) with disastrous results.
In short, FDIC backstops will take precedence even over Social Security and Medicare.

Hidden cells reveal Bolivia's dark past
By Andres Schipani
BBC News, La Paz
|
"There is no beginning without an end, but you will pay me back," reads an engraving on the wall of a dark and humid room in the basement of a government building in Bolivia's administrative capital, La Paz.
Next to it, stains of blood drawing four fingertips seem like grim blemishes, not at all adornments.
Bolivia is unearthing this dark part of its past.
The left-wing government of Evo Morales has recently discovered what his government calls 'the horror chambers' — torture cells found by chance when contractors uncovered blocked off hallways in the basement of the Ministry of the Interior.
Those hallways led to cells where around 2,000 political prisoners were held and tortured during the 1971-1978 military rule under General Hugo Banzer.
More than 150 political prisoners "disappeared" and bones found in the basement could hold a clue to the fate of some of them.
Electric shocks
History says that, among other atrocities, electric shocks applied with a cattle prod in the genitals and teeth were common currency in those underground rooms.
The victims were left-wing militants.
The perpetrators were right-wing military men under the rule of a ruthless military ruler.
"It was really a desperate situation," says Bolivia's deputy interior minister, Marcos Farfan, who after the rooms were uncovered, talked to the BBC about the horrors of the prison where he was placed in a flooded cell and electrocuted.
|
"One wanted to grab the ceiling and escape. There was nowhere to go because the electric shocks came from the floor and you could feel the electricity in your entire body... That way they were trying to extract from you the information they needed."
Mr Farfan has been looking for these secret rooms since winning office three years ago.
He was detained and tortured in one of those rooms when he was a teenage militant in the National Liberation Army, a clandestine group created by the Argentine-Cuban revolutionary Ernesto 'Che' Guevara in the late 1960s.
"So we started the works and by simply touching the walls one could feel there were empty spaces behind them," he said.
"That drove us to open up those spaces and that was when we discovered that the terror infrastructure that existed during the 70s still exists, a place where they put needles underneath my nails and applied electric shocks in my testicles and teeth."
Torture centres
Now Bolivia's government hopes the cells and hallways can provide clues to what happened in the clandestine torture centres.
There is strong evidence that torture and political murder were widespread in Bolivia in the 70s under the military government of Gen Banzer.
Earlier this week, President Morales visited the alleged torture chambers, where even the graffiti on the walls are clues to the fate of prisoners.
"There were a lot of accusations that torture chambers, underground cells, existed during the dictatorship. It's unacceptable that this has happened, certainly during the dictatorship in the 1960s and 70s. We have to investigate and I ask that the excavations continue," Mr Morales said.
|
His military rule ushered in violent repression of opponents.
It is also known that the notorious Nazi-in-hiding Klaus Barbie — 'The Butcher of Lyon' — was Gen Banzer's adviser in torture methods.
Widely accepted figures say that during Gen Banzer's tenure 19,000 people sought asylum in foreign countries, 15,000 were arrested, more than 8,000 brutally tortured and at least 155 disappeared without a trace.
Charges were brought in the early 80s but no-one went to trial.
After the era of Latin American military leaderships ended in the late 80s, he reinvented himself as a democrat, winning the presidency in 1997.
His foes say the former hardline ruler never lost his authoritarian streak, continuing to abuse human rights and failing to help the Andean nation's poor, Indian majority even as an elected leader.
His supporters, however, say Gen Banzer did more to strengthen Bolivian democracy than any of his predecessors.
Though many praised him for embracing democracy, his past still haunted him.
Plan Condor
Evidence presented in 1999 linked his previous regime to the notorious 'Plan Condor', which allegedly involved joint operations among South American military dictatorships in the 70s aimed at kidnapping, torturing and assassinating leftists and dissidents in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay.
Delia Cortez, who now heads the Association of Families of the Disappeared, went into exile to Argentina in 1973 but her then-partner was 'disappeared'.
Now, bones allegedly belonging to some of those who vanished have been found this week in the basement rooms.
"For us this is very painful but a milestone," she told the BBC.
"We always knew some of our companions were killed there but we never had concrete proof, until now.
"Now we can begin a trial. Now we can properly search for justice. Now we can, hopefully, close this horrendous chapter."

Retired GM worker speaks on freezing death of 93-year-old Michigan man
“They want profits or you die”
By Jerry White
5 February 2009 Last week a funeral was held for Marvin Schur, the 93-year-old resident of Bay City, Michigan whose frozen body was found in his home on January 17. Schur died of hypothermia after the municipally owned utility company cut off electricity because of a $1,100 unpaid bill.
Even though nighttime temperatures had fallen to below zero in mid-January, the city placed a 'limiter' on Schur's electric meter—a device designed to shut off power if a resident uses more than 10 amps of electricity.
Painful and needless death
Nothing was done to instruct the old man, who suffered from dementia, on how to reset the device and restore limited service.
The painful and needless death and the callous response of city officials provoked outrage in the town of 34,000 people, about 100 miles north of Detroit, and triggered a flood of emails and phone calls to city hall from throughout the US and other countries.
In response to the public outcry, city officials — who had first tried to blame the death on Schur himself, and then his neighbors for failing to look after him — announced they were temporarily suspending the use of limiters and would not cut off electricity to any other homes until the winter was over.
Limiters had been installed on 60 to 70 houses in the city.
Served as medic during World War II
Marvin Schur, or 'Mutts' as he was known, was retired, having labored as a pattern cutter for years at the Baker Perkins factory in Saginaw, which makes specialized machinery for the food industry.
Born on April 30, 1915, he was a life-long resident of the area.
He served as a medic with the US Army during World War II and was wounded in fighting in the Pacific.
After the funeral, Schur's nephew, 66-year-old William Walworth of Ormond Beach, Florida, told the Bay City Times that it was foolish to think that a 'horrible' death like his uncle's couldn't happen again.
He pointed out that snow and ice storms in the past days have left hundreds of thousands without power.
"There's going to be a couple thousand more Marvin Schurs out there right now," Walworth said.
In addition to surviving family members and neighbors, several workers who did not know Schur personally attended his funeral last week out of a deep sense of social solidarity and anger over the sacrifice of a life for profit.

Minister never mentioned utility company let this man die
Lyle Roussey, a retired General Motors worker from the Flint area in Michigan, spoke to the World Socialist Web Site after attending the service.
He said, "The minister spoke, but he never mentioned the injustice that the utility company let this man die.
"After I left the funeral home I was interviewed by television and newspaper reporters.
When they asked me why I was there, I told them, ‘I am here to protest. I can't believe that he froze to death. He could survive World War II but he couldn't survive the Bay City Electric Light & Power.'
I said, ‘There should be thousands of people here to protest.'
A reporter from the Bay City Times said he tried to interview the police after Schur's body was found, but they covered it up and would not answer his questions.
I couldn't believe it.
They only found out he died from hypothermia after contacting the medical examiner.
This is all the more disgusting.
I couldn't fathom that.
The man dies for capitalist gain and the small-town government covers it up,"
Roussey said: "It's sickening. What kind of society do we have? I am getting so fed up."
Our whole economic situation is breaking down
Responding to reports that Shur had money laid on the table to pay the bills, Roussey remarked:
"I was incensed.
The city never bothered to contact this old man before they cut off his electricity.
The more I learned about it the more irate I became.
It was inexcusable.
Our whole economic situation is breaking down.
I see it every day.
Capitalism is falling.
Who is the victim?
I have a daughter that depends on me.
She has kids but can't get food stamps.
They've jacked her around.
We called the senators and representatives but they don't respond.
What do we do?
We have to fight back."
Like many cities and towns throughout Michigan, Bay City and nearby Saginaw have been devastated by ongoing downsizing of the auto industry.
Nobody has any more money
Roussey described the conditions autoworkers and their families have confronted.
"After GM's Fleetwood plant in Detroit closed in 1987 I moved over to Buick City in Flint.
In 1990, there were 12,000 people working there.
By 1996, when I lost my job, it was down to 3,600.
They eventually tore down Buick City and I remember going by there and seeing nothing but weeds growing in the abandoned parking lots.
The next plant I went to was Saginaw Metal Casting, which had 1,300 workers in 1996.
By time I retired 10 years later it was down to 400 people.
It's unbelievable.
The United Auto Workers agree to let the company pay new hires $14 an hour — half of what they used to.
Nobody has any more money.
This has devastated neighborhoods and small businesses, and families who have given up on their hopes and dreams of affording to pay for college for their kids.
Grandfathers are still working in plants in order to support their families.
When I retired, two others in my department, ages 75 and 73, kept working.
They were too old to work but they were supporting their grandkids that had no jobs and no hopes to get any."
Worldwide we need governments that are going to help people live, not only allow the top few to prosper
Roussey explained his thoughts about the new Obama administration.
"I'm retired and I have more time to listen to the news.
I haven't heard a thing about bailing out people facing foreclosures.
All I hear is bailouts for the banks.
Even after Obama has taken over I don't hear about the people.
Our ‘hero' doesn't give me hope.
He is not going to deliver.
Obama is helping the banks, not the working class.
How is the bailout of Wall Street going to help us?
They've got billions of dollars to give to the banks but nothing to help a poor man to pay his bills.
There were so many stipulations on the loans to auto companies, but none on the gifts given to the financial institutions.
The congress we elected, filled with Democrats, demanded wage cuts to the level of nonunion workers and even took away our right to strike.
They didn't demand anything like that from AIG and the financial institution when they handed them $700 billion.
And they are still not lending.
Now they are going to give the banks a trillion more to buy their toxic assets.
Posterity will have to pay for the worthless loans for years and years to come.
With all this money they could pay off all the mortgages and the banks would be rid of the bad loans.
But they won't.
Our government is controlled by the wealthy and they don't give a damn.
They want profits or you die.
It was obvious in the situation with Marvin.
How much more brazen can they be?
It is time we organize massive demonstrations, in the streets, and stop paying our bills.
If they want to bring the sheriffs to foreclose our homes, people should say, ‘You're not going to move us.' The working class has to fight capitalism. We have to demand jobs and food stamps for our starving kids.
What can poor people do?
There is going to be a revolution because people worldwide need a government for the people, not profit; a government that is going to help people live, not only allow the top few to prosper."

Twelve Trillion * * *
The US National Debt has increased an average of $2.27 billion per day since 2005 until this year!
Now, due to the bailout of the rich bankers and world elite, the US National Debt is increasing substantially faster!
The US trade deficit is on track to set a record for a seventh consecutive year, running at an annual rate of $780 billion.
During fiscal year 2009 the U.S. Treasury is on-track to pay over $500 billion just in interest payments to finance the already-existing debt.
Annual interest payments for individuals, households, businesses, and all levels of US government are likely to reach $3 trillion — out of a previous $14 trillion annual GDP, an annual GDP that is now in sharp decline. |
|
In six years, U.S. Public debt has increased from 4 trillion to Eleven trillion dollars
The current Debt Limit was increased from $10.615 trillion to $11.315 trillion, effective October 3, 2008.
The estimated population of the United States 2006 is around 300,000,000 people. David M. Walker, Comptroller General of the US and head of the Government Accountability Office, in his December 17, 2007, report to the US Congress on the financial statements of the US government noted that "the federal government did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting (including safeguarding assets) and compliance with significant laws and regulations as of September 30, 2007."
The US government cannot pass an audit.
The GAO report states accrued liabilities of the federal government "totaled approximately $53 trillion as of September 30, 2007", likely to increase to 70 trillion by the end of 2009.
No funds have been set aside against the liability.
The estimated net worth of all Americans including all business is about $47 trillion, reducing as property and company value reduces.

Size matters — smaller is better
|
|
A POINT OF VIEW
Want to go large on housing, schools, prisons, hospitals or simply pricetags?
Bad idea — keeping a lid on size is the way to go, says Katharine Whitehorn.
Monday's papers carried news of a way of stopping the HIV virus getting hold of healthy cells, and there were pictures of these things looking like the kind of baubles you hang on a Christmas tree.
|
We take it for granted we have photos of such things, which are infinitely small and certainly can't be seen with the naked eye.
And, at the other end of the scale, the next day we'll be counting in zillions — the unimaginable distances that it's calculated some of the furthest stars in the universe may be.
What has become completely irrelevant is any idea of scale based on us human beings.
It's said that such things can work with streamlined efficiency, but somewhere along the line we seem to have lost our sense of the scale of what works for people and groups of people.
Instant communications systems, incredible ways of using steel and glass have made it possible to build bigger and bigger buildings, larger merged organisations, wider alliances, huger institutions.
And some of it's a disaster.
In Robert Graves's book Count Belisarius, he wrote that when they told Belisarius that an army of 100,000 troops was mustering against him, he calmly said: "Very few generals can manage an army of a hundred thousand."
And when they said: "It's now 150,000", he'd say: "Even fewer generals can manage an army of 150,000."
| |||||
Exactly.
But the army, bad though it may be at the provision of enough body armour or clean married quarters, does know how to divide itself into manageable bits.
Even a battalion is usually only about 600.
A major commands a company that isn't more than 200, and he is expected to know all their names; and a captain or a lieutenant deals with a platoon of just 40 to 50 people.
It has learned that this is what works.
Size matters
It's not just generals, either, who need to be brilliant to cope with vast numbers.
A short time ago a report found that behavioural problems were much worse in really large comprehensives than in smaller schools.
The whole argument about whether comprehensives are better, worse or the same as the old unfair 11-plus has left this out — that half the problems of vast comprehensives are nothing to do with mixed ability, but everything to do with sheer size.
But aren't the renowned public schools also huge?
Yes, and they mostly work OK, at least in terms of an absence of riot and GBH.
But they're broken down into houses of a smaller size, with a housemaster and house tutor, not to mention a matron, so there are always at least one or two people who know about every single boy or girl.
A head in charge of 1,500 pupils can't know more than a few of them, and the place takes an entirely different kind of control.
Certainly there are some marvellous heads who do make brilliant schools even out of these huge comprehensives; but never enough, it's far harder.
Yet my local borough, Camden, in sore need of a new school in the south, is not building one of a sensible size there; it's determined to have one mammoth school to serve a far wider area.
Grandiose ideas, big projects.
Thinking big always seems so attractive, but it can be a crucial mistake.
The vast projects built after the war to relieve the dismal slums of the past are the lawless sink estates of today; in many ways they don't work as well as the old insanitary huddled cottages.
| |||||||
Garden of one's own
Baroness Mary Stocks was pointing out decades ago that the wide green communal spaces beloved of 1960s idealists were far less satisfying psychologically than the grotty little backyards where a family could keep its rabbits, its nasturtiums, its rusty pram that might or might not be needed again.
And it's not only modern schemes that can be too big.
Look at some of the ghastly Victorian institutions.
In the early 1980s Albert Kushlik, a charismatic doctor in Southampton, realised that when badly disabled children were sent out to such vast asylums in the country, their families found it hard to visit, and dispirited mothers gave up bringing their children new clothes because the communal laundry reduced them all to grey rags.
He figured that in a town the size of Southampton — about 200,000 people — there were only about 40 such children; so he started two houses, one in the north of the town, one in the south, for about 20 children each.
These were feasibly near their families, who could identify with the place, visit their kids often, give clothes to their own children that could be washed in a domestic washing machine and go on looking like real clothes.
Parents could get to know the staff well and help out overnight if a professional went sick.
You'd think, by now, some of this might have sunk in; it's 30 years since Sir Frederick Catherwood was lecturing on the diseconomies of scale.
But even recently they've been talking about "super jails".
At least they have stopped erecting such vast bins for people with mental health problems, although University College Hospital, already big enough to house 100 sick elephants, has dropped its idiotic plan — for the time being — to merge with the Royal Free.
This would have required even more communications systems and even more disruption when, as always happens, the systems break down.
And it's not just mechanical systems either: in another hospital — Southampton again — the consultants, according to a brain surgeon friend, all used to meet on a Friday for lunch and swapped knowledge about patients and problems.
Then came an expansion, with everyone eating in a huge democratic hall, and this invaluable time of communication was lost.
So it goes.
| |||||
Up to 11
The question of size is not just about organisational efficiency.
It also affects what motivates people to do what they do.
A few fanatics, geniuses or saints may strive only to match their own ambitions — to climb the highest mountain, fast for a fortnight, memorise the whole of Paradise Lost.
But most people simply want to relate to those around them.
I've heard it said that 11 is the maximum useful unit, for example, for those asked to do anything really dangerous and difficult.
The same number for frontline soldiers and people 100 feet down a mine.
A man will put himself at serious risk to save one of his mates, but not for the 29th miner down the line.
And surely some of the glue that holds society together, makes people behave one way or another, is simply how they will measure up to those around them.
| |||||
You might say that everyone works for money and so, of course they do, to the extent of liking a car that doesn't break down, pretty clothes and a warm house.
But the really big bucks are about something else — about being top dog.
The women who pay £2,000 for a handbag are not really saying it's so beautiful it's worth that daft sum of money, they want it because it proves how well they're doing.
As it is for the idiot who'll pay £500 for a bottle of wine long after he's too far gone to appreciate it, he's simply saying "I'm a bigger tiger than you are" to those whose opinion he cares about.
Money is how you keep score.
Money talks
And in a globalised world, it tends to be the only way — that's the trouble.
In the City there used to be such a thing as shame, but that was before it all went worldwide.
| |||||
In Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence, set in mid 19th Century New York, the banker Julius indulges in some shady business — and no-one will speak to him at the opera.
Socially, he is ruined.
There's nothing like that now: the financial world, like so much else, is just too big.
Who, in our world, is going to make even suspected fraudsters like Madoff or Stanford feel ostracised and despised?
"No matter how many communes anybody invents, the family always creeps back," said anthropologist Margaret Mead.
Communes aren't in fashion right now, it's conglomerates and global empires.
But in the end we can all relate only to a certain number of people; a unity more or less like a family.
So I'm not trying to be coarse if I simply say, size does matter.

Planet Report: Earth ('urth)
[Also known as $$€¥¢©£]
Saturday, February 28, 2009
Environment:
Planet is in the midst of a massive extinction event and approximately half of all species have become extinct in the last 60 sun-cycles. Mostly small ones, and little noticed.
Planet alternately believes in 'global warming' and 'global cooling' and has developed a financial game (carbon credits) in order to allow its leaders to 'profit' from environmental events.
We are confused by the meaning of 'profit' in this use.
As the extinction continues, weather patterns are also changing and the governor of one political unit has declared a drought emergency.
We think this means food shortages just ahead, in 90-150 rotations ('days' in earth-speak).
On the other hand, there has been development of reusable toilet wipes.
Planetary awareness of the coming global sea level shift remains low although there are some reports of ' Greenland, Antarctic glaciers speeding faster toward the sea.'
We are not able to share the projection of 187 feet within 10-years due to a lack of formal contact at a species-wide level and our 1952 agreements with the political units that control most of the planet.
We have shared the coming event with some planet representatives, but they are not acting on it for reasons that are unclear.
Political:
One of the most militant countries, which calls itself the 'United States' has been holding its economy together with resource wars.
In a curious turn, the country which morphed terrorism into multiple wars in the Middle East, now seems to be itching for conflict with another small country (Iran) is now sending a Hollywood team to Iran on a 'cultural exchange'.
We are unclear what humans in the United States consider 'cultural' as most of their 'culture' seems based on military conflict and then recovery to benefit its economy and ruling class.
This is the same pattern which earlier teams noted in regards to Europe in the WW I and WW II events as well as war in Japan and South Korea, both of which now operate as economic satellites of the 'Western' socioeconomic block.
We also note considerable blurring between politics and religion on this planet.
Between the Western block and the group calling itself East/Asia, we note that an integrated political/religious concept (Islam) is becoming popular as it appears to have a different method of wealth redistribution than the 'West' model.
The two are now locked in a multi-level conflict.
We note leaders of the USA area saw headlines this week that 'Jewish leaders blast Clinton over Israel criticism.'
Our off-planet view is that the USA area has a stated separation of church and state when it comes to religious observance symbols (small trees are decorated inside buildings, except public buildings) and yet strong religious group influence seems acceptable at the policy-making level when accompanied by money in a process called 'lobbying'.
We don't single out any one of the planets religious groups since the process is endemic to all larger religions operating in the West lands.
We also noted this week that a group from East which calls itself 'North Korea' is planning to test a new missile.
The West group is considering shooting down this new missile which would increase global tension levels.
Political leaders may be trying to shift focus away from the economic contraction.
We recommend future Earth missions monitor radio spectra as there is now electronic countermeasures testing between East and West similar to what occurred prior to the soft revolution and fall of the former Soviet Union.
We don't have sufficient information to determine whether this will be an operational conflict, or is instead a continuation of planetary war industries expanding influence to avoid the planetary economic contraction (see economics section to follow).
Inhabitants of this planet have a limited concept of 'sharing'.
In place of direct human-to-human sharing, a complex monetary/trading scheme is used called 'taxes'.
This is somewhat confused by headlines such as '$1-T in Taxes is Hell to Pay.' {Political units do not sense the contradiction between 'taxes' and wealth shifting on the one hand while promoting conflict and killing on the other.
A curious species, these humans designed a 'wealth' distribution system based on ethnic, religious, and geographic accident of birth location. By their own systems, more than half of humans are disposable.
Economic:
The economic behavior of this planet also continues to mystify our observers.
Although major business schools (in the West) teach SDLC, system development life cycle, which infers cyclical operation of trade based on tangible items, these same business schools seem incapable of integrating cycle research into their training programs.
As a consequence, sociopolitical economic decisions are made mostly without reference to obvious cycles (such as the sun-cycle) while emphasis is placed instead on 'formula back-fitting' to historical data.
The planet is ignorant of cycle-based anticipatory economics practiced in the civilized galaxy.
This planet may not survive.
A typical headline is 'Brutal February for Blue Chips'.
We note with some concern that the persistence of the formulistic back-fitting approach may result in global economic chaos within months.
This will diminish the food supply and mass starvation and planetary die-back will occur.
This seems a goal of global elites who control 98% of events through 'money.'
Due to use of chemical in water, such as fluoride, and mindless media, the majority of humans are not able to perceive anything wrong with this approach.
The most closely-watched of the global stock markets this week ranged from a high of Dow 7,477.10 on Monday (earth calendars are confusing, they don't use the standard sun-cycle day numbering system) to a closing low Friday (5 rotations later) of 7,062.93.
Several important indexes (they call one the S&P 500) also fell to lows not seen since last what earthlings call last 'fall', or roughly 150-rotations ago.
The few 'cycle anticipators' think the next 7-rotations will see massive declines.
Meanwhile, the next 7-rotations should give us much data since the pattern-recognition traits particular to this species will likely cause a much further to fall of global markets.
This will be accented by announcement of many backward-looking statistical sets for announcement.
2-rotations from this report, 'Personal Income' will be announced along with construction spending.
3-rotations from this report auto and truck sales (which inhabitants use for transport) will be announced and then in 6-rotations (March 6 on the earth system of timekeeping) unemployment and consumer debt will be announced.
Mention should be made that in 5-rotations 'productivity' will be announced.
This illustrates one of the most entertaining behaviors as most earthlings cannot comprehend that 100% productivity (total robotics and replicators like we use) results in 100% unemployment.
Thus, when their elite control 100% of production, they will have the choice of sharing (or not) with non-elites which will result in the economic die-backs we have seen on other Level-3 planets.
This planet is laughable...were it not for how serious all inhabitants take their plight and how limited their responses have become due to social conditioning.
Summary:
There has been no major progress to report on this planet for the past 60-sun rotations - when we gave them the fiber optic and other technologies from the Roswell planted device.
We will not be sending this report to the Vogons as they are not aware of the joint mission we are planning with the Kanamits.
The harvest in late 2012 should be a good one.
Lots of tasty emotions, especially fear, in this group.

... It was not until I did the chronology and looked at the timing of the Washington Times stories on the homosexual prostitution rings that I started to realize the possible connection.
The Franklin Cover Up by John De Camp gives a sense that this Washington Times story may have been the tip of the iceberg.
That prostitution and pedophila networks were being used for covert ops to win favor from and/or blackmail DC politicians.
Looking at the chronology and some of Kemps more irratic behavior, it is a distinct possibility that Kemp was nervous about exposure of his own activities.
... He [One of my deputies] pulled me aside and said that folks who worked on Kemp's campaign staff who he absolutely trusted had confided in him that Kemp's sexual activities were far worse than merely bi-sexual and to be very careful.
Looking back on it now, I realize he was probably trying to give me a heads up on the pedophilia problem.
At the time, I was simply too dense to believe this and Iran Contra and CIA drug dealing were really going on.
It was just too far a leap for me.
Oh, well.

Palestinian children in Israeli prison
(Bethlehem) Najib Farag
The Palestinian Prisoner Society, legal and childhood rights institutions, and the international and local Red Cross, are pushing for the immediate release of Palestinian minors from Israeli prisons.
Children in Telmond Prison are in dire psychological and physical straights as reported by the Prisoner Society Wednesday.
|
|
Israeli forces arrested 11 year old Mohammad Abdullah Mousa Othman and 13 year old Rafiq Mohammad Al Eisha nearly three weeks ago.
The western Ramallah’s Beit Ur At Tahta Village boys have been subject to severe beatings at the hands of Israeli soldiers.
Members of the intelligence in charge of interrogating the children have beaten and threatened both and forced them to sign statements.
Prisoner Society lawyer Adal Khalaila met with the boys on 11 September and described their situation as “tragic.”
Khalaila said, “The minors have been thrown in with their elders and have no knowledge of the rules of law, and are clearly too young to adapt to prison life.”
He described Othman as a “tall, skinny boy in prison contrary to all norms of international law.
It is also contrary to Israeli law which does not allow arresting Palestinians under 12 years old.”
The lawyer reported that Israeli soldiers arrested the 11 year old from the streets of his village on 25 August under the pretext that he had thrown stones at Israeli forces.
The boy was taken to a mountain high above the town and held there for seven to eight hours.
He was handcuffed and blindfolded the entire time.
One of the Israeli soldiers put his cigarette out in the boy’s hand.
Othman was then taken to a military installation for investigation in the Israeli settlement of Givat Ze’ev west of Ramallah in the West Bank.
He was interrogated into the morning hours of the second day.
|
Khalaila stated that due to the boy’s young age and lack of maturity or knowledge of how to handle the torturous investigations that most Palestinian males undergo at some point in their lives, he signed the investigators’ report without knowing the content.
“He was under threat and intimidation, beatings and insults.”
None of the child’s family members have been allowed to visit him and it remains unknown when or if he will be released.
The Israeli military court has held three hearings for the boy since his arrest.
The second minor that the Palestinian Prisoner Society focused on in today’s report is 13 year old Rafiq Mohammad Al Aisha.
Israeli soldiers took him in the same manner as the 11 year old: from the streets of Beit Ur At Tahta Village, west of Ramallah, accusing him of throwing stones at Israeli forces.
Khalaila sat with Al Aisha as he reported what has happened to him.
Israeli soldiers and interrogators have repeatedly punched the 13 year old in the face and kicked him in the legs and backside.
The boy said that he was not throwing stones, denying the charge against him.
He was forced under threat to sign a statement of unknown content.
The Prisoner Society attorney reported that both children are experiencing difficulty speaking and expressing themselves, and in understanding what is being said to them.
Khalaila concluded reporting the sworn statements by saying that the boys are not pronouncing words clearly.
The Israeli authorities have arrested over 5,000 Palestinian minors since the beginning of the Al Aqsa Intifada in September 2000.
Still in Israeli prisons are 350 Palestinians aged 11 through 17 years. Copyrights © Palestine News Network, 2003 - 2006 |

Indonesia's 9/11 — Exposing US government operations in the Bali Bombing

Questioning War, Organizing Resistance — Carol Brouillet Glen Clancy, from Victoria, Australia, created "Fool Me Twice" described as 'A documentary about the Australian government's lies about the East Timor massacres, the cover-up of the Bali Bombings and subsequent anti-terror laws.' The 25 year old, Clancy is Australia's Dylan Avery (of Loose Change fame). The work was originally created to be viewed online, but Clancy is working on improving the resolution for larger screen and theatrical viewing. Glen wrote (at the Fool Me Twice Blog on December 4, 2008)
To all,
After discovering 911 was an inside job, through such movies as Loose Change, Terrorstorm and Zeitgeist, I decided to investigate the Bali bombings. The evidence was overwhelming. There had been a cover-up.
As shocking as the truth may be, please keep an open mind while viewing this documentary. FOOL ME TWICE is 100% sourced. Please see reference list below. I tried to produce a documentary as true to the genre as possible, limiting opinion and simply documenting the facts.
I believe that 911 Truth is one of the most important movements of our time and exposing the cover-up of the 2002 Bali bombings can help destroy the "911/War on terror/Al-CIAda" myth.
Please help spread this information.
Kind regards,
Glen

Americans are politically paralyzed by both cognitive dissonance and by what psychologists call “learned helplessness,” the result of years of having one outrage after another foisted upon them, without there ever being any real accountability.
So, as many truthers have discovered, the most common reactions of average Americans, when presented with the facts of 9/11, are either, “My government would never do that,” or, “Okay . . . but what can anybody do about it?”

Before that he was with the City of Sacramento as a Firefighter Paramedic.
He first began working in Emergency Services in 1988 in the Sacramento area with a 911 private paramedic ambulance company.
He has 20 years experience in Emergency Services.
He earned my pilot's license in 1987, and have been recreationally flying since.
He graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics from the University of California at Davis in 1993, with 2 years of elective Engineering courses, and a Minor in Psychology.
Erik wrote a moving account of his own shift in consciousness regarding 9/11 which prompted him to start Fire Fighters For 9/11 Truth entitled: MAYDAY...MAYDAY...MAYDAY.
Here's an excerpt:
I, like most Americans, remember exactly where I was when I saw the attacks and had the overwhelming urge to take action.
I was shocked, outraged, scared and confused.
I called my Battalion Chief and asked if Seattle would be sending any teams to help.
I was a member of the MMST, and figured we would be needed and I wanted to know where to report.
Due to the nature of the incident we were not called up, and instead USAR teams, including Seattle's, were sent.
|
|
I first visited Ground Zero in October of 2001 with several firefighters from Seattle.
We went to pay our respect and show support.
We raised money for our brother firehouses and attended the funerals of our fallen Brothers.
I was deeply moved and humbled by the community support, the sheer enormity of the tragedy along with the courage and compassion of the FDNY "Brotherhood."
I vividly remember the anger, the intense desire for vengeance,the feelings of helplessness
Even though I listened to their stories for days, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and tragedy they suffered on that day and the years to come.
I vividly remember the anger I felt, the intense desire for vengeance, and the feelings of helplessness.
I was relieved when the government identified the terrorists and satisfied that we were going to have a swift deliverance of "justice."
I've been a conservative my entire life; a registered Republican since I could vote.
I am a self proclaimed Patriot with George Washington as one of my all time heroes.
So when conspiracy theories quickly surfaced, and "Liberals" cried foul on the erosion of civil liberties, I chalked it up to their political beliefs and bitterness towards the Republican President.
I read many debunking articles — including Popular Mechanics — and watched many debunking videos including, Farenhype 9/11.
I was convinced that these "Liberals" were misinformed and were grasping at straws to discredit the "official" story.
Don't confuse me with the facts, I have my mind made up!
Like most people with strong opinions, instead of looking at all the facts, I was specifically looking for anything that supported my own beliefs.
|
|
As soon as I discovered any inaccuracy in a conspiracy claim, I wrote it off.
My father, a big city cop and Korean War veteran, loved to say, "don't confuse me with the facts, I have my mind made up!"
Well, I had my mind made up.
I told conspiracy theorists like my own Truck Officer, Lt. Earl Emerson, that they were insane if they thought anyone other than the terrorists did this.
Bin Laden confession tapes — how much clearer did they need it
Heck, we have ID cards, security camera videos, Bin Laden confession tapes — how much clearer did they need it?
The years went on and I was satisfied in my beliefs.
I even believed these "Wackos" that doubted the "official" story were distracting our country from focusing on the real threat of terrorism...
Fast forward to March of 2008.
A great friend of mine with a Business degree from West Point, as conservative and non-conspiratorial as they get, came over one night to talk about what he saw happening in the economy.
Began researching such things as economies, who is in control of currencies
He provided some disconcerting evidence that we as a nation are at risk of entering into another depression; he pointed out historical parallels where other countries, such as Germany, suffered economic collapse.
THAT was my eye opener.
I became obsessed researching things such as economies, who is in control of currencies, what causes depressions, who profits during war, etc.
So many things kept pointing to 9/11.
Another one of my dad's favorite quotes was, "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."
So, I looked at both sides and quickly noticed a pattern.
On one side, the general media ignores some of the most compelling evidence that contradicts the "official" story...
When I voiced my new opinion and concerns most of my friends listened.
Shocked that a staunch Conservative could have such a major shift
I think because they were shocked that a staunch Conservative could have such a major shift, or because they thought I had lost my mind and wanted to diagnose the cause.
|
|
Curiously, some became angry at my new questions and actually thought I was supporting Terrorists with my concerns.
Being a part of that same mindset myself only a few weeks ago, and then having a major shift in consciousness, really shook me to the core.
What has happened to our collective consciousness that we believe anyone who doubts the "official" story or what the government tells us is an enemy?
What has happened to us — are we not founded on Freedom of Speech and taught to check our Government?
Anyone who asks for the Truth is labeled a "Wacko" or "Terrorist Sympathizer?"
What has happened to us?
Are we not founded on Freedom of Speech and taught to check our Government?...
To be honest, I was asleep at the wheel, and relied on what I was being told by mainstream media.
The same media whose parent corporations, are some of the largest suppliers of weapons in this war.
Before this "awakening" I had no idea the extent of our civil liberties that had been eroded in the name of Terrorism.
I had never really wrapped my brain around what legalized torture means.
I had always claimed America was noble.
Just look at how we treated POW's during WWII and Vietnam compared to our enemies.
[Ever check out the real story of John McCain as a POW, keep investigating! — TheWE.biz]
That separated us.
We were setting the example of Human Rights to the rest of the world.
[Check out the real facts of US instigations in Central and South America! — TheWE.biz]
Sure, you'll always have individuals that will take things too far, but Government sponsored torture?
[Let's mention CIA activity across the planet since its inception, including inside the US, and other black budget US government special operations agencies! — TheWE.biz]
What has happened to our country?
What kind of example are we setting for our children, and the world?
You would be interested to learn how many of our own rights have been stripped away recently.
Look up the Military Commissions Act of 2006, John Warner Defense Authorization Act, Homegrown Terrorism Act, Presidential Directive 51.
Amazing the rights we have all lost
It is amazing the rights we have all lost in the past couple of years and very little is covered by the U.S. media.
After discovering this, I applied the "common sense" test that my Grandfather always said wasn't so common.

Why would a government so aggressively suppress truth and blatantly destroy evidence if there was nothing to hide?
Why has every testimony from sworn government and military officials that points to "prior knowledge" been stricken from the 9/11 Commission Report?
How did paper business cards, cloth bandanas, and plastic ID's that implicate the terrorists survive so neatly through jet fueled fireballs hot enough to destroy titanium and steel?
I've seen bodies burned beyond recognition, yet I have never found one that was wearing unburned clothing.
These questions alone are enough to make me risk everything for a real investigation and accounting...
When I truly realized the enormity of the effect 9/11 has had on our Rights, our Economy, our Beliefs, our Fears, our Intolerances and our Government — I felt fear, then anger, then the need to take action.
Bill Chickering said it best:
“Anger is a very appropriate and necessary response to an injustice.
“But stand back now; the truth, clearly spoken, is always your best weapon.
“Calmly spoken, it can burn a hole through the hardest heart.”
When I realized the extent of the force and attitudes working to silence those who peacefully ask questions, demand answers, and seek truth, it became clear to me that our Country is in serious trouble and I must now stand alongside those Patriots who seek Truth and Constitutional Restoration.

Richard Gage, AIA is the founding member of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth ae911Truth.org.
He has been a practicing Architect for 20 years and has worked on most types of building construction including numerous fire-proofed steel-framed buildings.
He is employed with a San Francisco Bay Area architecture firm and has most recently performed Construction Administration services for a new $120M High School campus including a $10M steel-framed Gymnasium.
Currently he is working on the Design Development for a very large mixed use urban project with 1.2M sq.ft. of retail and 320K sq.ft. of mid-rise office space — altogether about 1,200 tons of steel framing.
He has been one of the most tireless speakers on the issue of 9/11 truth, and more specifically on challenging the official narrative of the disintegration of the 3 major skyscrapers in the World Trade Center complex that took place on September 11th.
He has been lecturing widely across the US and in Canada.
Those who see his presentation rarely walk away still thinking that fires alone could have brought down the buildings.
When NIST came out with a report recently that fires were responsible for the destruction of WTC7, Richard and Architects and Engineers were quick to challenge that report.
See NY Times quotes Richard Gage on WTC7 "collapse"
Aside from the NYT's reporter and a media request from Bulgaria, the press has tried to ignore the serious criticisms that Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth has raised about their reports.
Richard Gage gives an insightful interview on major points that scientifically do not agree with the official story of 9/11.

Elephant in the Room is a documentary following British filmmaker Dean Puckett through his journey into the 9/11 Truth Movement: a global movement of 'conspiracy theorists' who believe that the official explanation about what happened on 9/11 is totally or partially inaccurate.
The filmmakers travel from middle England, across Europe and to New York for the six year anniversary of the attacks, where the film takes one final twist as we are introduced to the 9/11 first responders who are suffering from various grave health difficulties due to the toxic dust that they breathed in trying to help their country during the weeks after this tragic event.
Told with a personal hands on approach that avoids advancing any one position, the film asks the question: are these crazy conspiracy theorists?
Or is 9/11 Truth a credible political movement?

9/11
By all accounts, the unprecedented events of September 11th, 2001 changed the way our country functions, and in turn, the world.
It is therefore critical that conscientious Americans, as well as people around the globe, understand these events in detail.
Unfortunately the official reports, including The 9/11 Commission Report and the NIST WTC Report, written by those working under the direction of the Bush Administration, have been proven to be elaborate cover-ups.
Film: 9/11 Revisited
September 11th Revisited is perhaps the most riveting film ever made about the destruction of the World Trade Center.
This is a powerful documentary which features eyewitness accounts and archived news footage that was shot on September 11, 2001 but never replayed on television.
Featuring interviews with eyewitnesses & firefighters, along with expert analysis by Professor Steven E. Jones, Professor David Ray Griffin, MIT Engineer Jeffrey King, and Professor James H. Fetzer.
This film provides stunning evidence that explosives were used in the complete demolition of the WTC Twin Towers and WTC Building 7.

The War On Democracy is a powerful new documentary from award winning journalist and film-maker John Pilger.
Pilger interviews several ex-CIA agents who purportedly took part in secret campaigns against democratic countries and who he claims are profiting from the war in Iraq.
The film uses archive footage to show how democracy has been wiped out in country after country in Latin America since the 1950s.
The Venezuelan segment of the film features the President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez being captured in the coup of 2002, a takeover backed by rich and powerful interests under U.S. support. |
Humankind as we know it at the 'End Point'
Don't forget:
Behind it all is the desire for depopulation — by those rich enough to have their islands for temporary residence while depopulation takes place.
Doesn't matter if it is killing in the fight for food when the trucks no longer arrive at your local supermarket.
Doesn't matter if it is tribe against tribe.
Or thermobaric bombs — environmentally friendly compared to nuclear. Bombs that send ultra-sonic shock waves and searing fireballs to destroy everything in their dropping wake.
Or those special bombs that do not destroy the infrastructure — kill only you and those you love.
You are in the way, folks!
There are too many of you!
This is the plan.
