Without Comment – How The State Creates Propaganda
How the State promotes our image of Our State and Their State.
Have we got used to spoon-feeding by a hyperactive media? (Cartoon by Don Addis).
in Mumbai now.
To my surprised,most Indian really think India is a democratic country and they are enjoying life and have more human rights than China's.Most people in India also believe that Chinese live in hell and no freedoms,no human rights etc.On the other side,most people in China believe that India is a "breakfast democracy" which voters will sell their votes only for breakfasts and everbody have the freedom of starving to death.Which side is closer to truths?

Surveillance Business – For, From and Fie on the Free World

Western companies including Cisco Systems Inc. are poised to help build an ambitious new surveillance project in China—a citywide network of as many as 500,000 cameras that officials say will prevent crime but that human-rights advocates warn could target political dissent.

The system, being built in the city of Chongqing over the next two to three years, is among the largest and most sophisticated video-surveillance projects of its kind in China, and perhaps the world. Dubbed "Peaceful Chongqing," it is planned to cover a half-million intersections, neighborhoods and parks over nearly 400 square miles, an area more than 25% larger than New York City.
Chongqing's government has said it plans to invest more than $800 million of its own in building the Peaceful Chongqing system. Another $1.6 billion is coming from other sources.
China has become the fastest growing market for surveillance equipment, although it isn't yet the biggest, according to IMS Research, a U.K. firm that studies the market. The surveillance markets in the U.S. and Europe are growing at single-digit rates while surveillance-related revenue in China is growing at 23% a year. Surveillance-equipment sales alone, not including networking gear or software, totaled $1.7 billion last year.
Chongqing's government says on its website that its current surveillance system is outdated, allowing police to directly tap into just 15,000 of the total 300,000 cameras. It wants the new system to be among the world's most advanced. (via Cisco Poised to Help China Build Surveillance Project – WSJ.com).

Any colour as long as it black
Different Governments, using local flavours of paranoia, are creating huge citizen monitoring networks. Supposedly, to track criminals, terrorists, (in India Naxalites), these are now growing beyond simple devices.
Combine facial recognition software, and you have good reason to be afraid. Obama who promised much, in terms of human rights, has gone back on every promise, he made. Instead in the USA, there are an estimated 30,000 people, who are listening to phone conversations.
China, Britain, USA lead the world.
In Britain, it has become epidemic: The United Kingdom's 60 million subjects are tracked by 1.5 million closed-circuit television cameras.
Britain's cameras, initially placed in high-crime areas and town centers to protect shops, have spread to residential areas, schools and parks. At first, the cameras were credited for reducing some types of crime, but then the figures began to climb again. (via DenverPost.com – Editorials).
Banana Republics – A 2ndlook
Robert Vadra called India a Banana Republic and signed off. So, who are and aren't Banana Republics.
eorge Soros, the billionaire investor and philanthropist, plans to announce on Tuesday that he is giving $100 million to Human Rights Watch to expand the organization's work globally.
It is the largest gift he has made, the largest gift by far that Human Rights Watch has ever received, and only the second gift of $100 million or more made by an individual this year …
(from Soros to Donate $100 Million to Rights Group ).
Confusing
George Soros' donation to Human Rights Watch NGO is perplexing.
Who will watch over whom?
What are these human rights?
Who are these people, who will be funded by George Soros?
Who will sit on judgment on whom?
Anyway, why is George Soros so bothered!
Free speech. To carry placards, shout slogans, mutter in your drawing room!
I had no answers.
I decided to take the help of St.PT Barnum, our Resident Propaganda Slayer, who can easily unravel these kind of 'events'.
St.PT Barnum thinks that this donation is fuelled by Soros' concern for democracy and 'human rights' in Third World Banana Republics.
So, that is what we need to understand!
St.PT Barnum answers
Q : – What is the difference between 'banana' republics and Anglo-Saxon Democracies?
St.PT Barnum ans. – None. People disappear. Anyway. They are both very good at making people disappear. US has made the maximum number of people disappear in the last 50 years.
Q : – How are Anglo-Saxon Democracies better than 'banana' republics?
St.PT Barnum ans. – They, Anglo-Saxon Democracies (ASD), are much better organized. ASDs will give you a 500 page 'document' to 'prove' that you have to disappear. Usually, it is all in public interest, you see. Just ask Julian Assange.
In 'banana' republics you never 'know' why you have to disappear. Plus, all disappearances in 'banana' republics benefit only the Ruling Class. Disappearances in 'banana' republics are never in public interest. Unlike Anglo-Saxon Democracies.
Anglo-Saxon Democracies Bonus – Sometimes, the 'document' can be bigger than 500-page – and may even be entertaining.

Q : – Is it true that Anglo-Saxon Democracies are more efficient than 'banana' republics?
St.PT Barnum ans. – Of course, it is true. Do you know of any 'banana' republic that has such a large bureaucracy with: –
- Legislatures – that create reasons why you must disappear. Reasons, also known as laws, statutes, ordinance, charters, licenses et al.
- Courts – that will find the exact reason(s), that will fit your 'case', to make you disappear. Respect for the individual and all that, you see.
- Police – who 'objectively' select people, choose 'suspects' for disappearances.
- Lawyers – who will argue about reasons why you must (not) disappear.
- Prisons – a convenient place where 'you' can disappear and a new sub-human is born.
Q : – Is it true that there is much more freedom in Anglo-Saxon Democracies than in 'banana' republics?
St.PT Barnum ans. – Trick question. Both true and false.
True. There is complete freedom in Anglo-Saxon Democracies to make the system more 'efficient'.
Population planning annihilated entire populations in Austraia, North America, and partly in Africa! Click for larger image
Increase concentration of wealth, ensure that people are kept busy in 'pursuit of happiness' and ensure that enough people disappear in full public view.
These 'open' disappearances in full 'public' view creates greater fear than 'secret' disappearances that happen in 'banana' republics.
False also. Anglo-Saxon Democracies have installed
- Millions of cameras
- Thousands of phone and internet tapping servers
- Hundreds of satellites in space to keep a watch, to 'observe' all those who have as yet not disappeared.
- Many companies which track your every move. Where, when, what, which, how, who you
- Logged into your computer
- Sold, bought anything
- Read, wrote, said anything to anybody
Don't for a moment think that the Anglo-Saxon Democracies will 'ever' give you respite.
US-UK playing good-cop-bad-cop routine with India
Is this how you deal with Pakistan? (Cartoon by Dan Piraro; cartoon source and courtesy neatorama.com). Click for larger image.
Mr Miliband, a root cause theorist, had on Thursday come out with a reality-challenged position that a resolution of Kashmir issue will end terror in India.
"When there is a terror attack in UK, do they believe that root cause lies in Northern Island or in their own policies. Why are they going for the root cause in India? The Mumbai attacks have no links to Kashmir," Congress spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi told reporters.
Although the Congress spokesman steered clear of explaining that real cause of terror, Mr Miliband's country has, for the past seven years, been maintaining that the world is experiencing transnational terror unleashed by those nurturing transnational grievances. (via No one roots for Miliband's root-cause theory- Politics/Nation-News-The Economic Times).
Two step tango
A patronizing Milliband made a visit and made a few remarks which must have gladdened a few jihadi hearts. Condoleeza Rice came a few weeks ago and made some remarks which have made a few jihadi hearts go black with rage.
This is a good 'ole' good-cop-bad-cop routine. India and Pakistan would be dumb to fall for this. Kashmiris first paid a price for Britain's imperial designs. Now, this time, will Kashmiri-Indians pay a price, all over again, for all these US policy failures?
Lets us not fall for this dumb games ...
We should stop wasting time in engaging with these terminally declining societies. We must get up and get going.
Little choice there.
