The truth is security in India is a joke
JULY 25, 2008 - Rediff
Thirty-two months after an Indian Institute of Technology professor was killed on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science, ‘terror’ returned to the pensioners’ paradise that no longer is, shortly after lunch on Friday afternoon.
The question is not why Bangalore, but why did it take so bloody long?
Seriously.
Why did it take so long for these smart-assed sons of bitches to set off half-a-dozen bombs just as we were about to hit the sack for our afternoon siesta in our ’sleeper cells’, when they could have done it yesterday, or day before, or last week, or last month?
The rocket scientists dressed as ‘intelligence sources’ and ’security experts’ are already busy adding one and one and making it eleven: It was a Friday. It happened at 1.30 pm or shortly thereafter. Ergo, you know who was behind them.
Those […]

It’s getting pretty close to it, according to this American TFP report about a “gay rights” law that will punish anybody who shows disapproval or criticism of homosexual behavior, including public acts of obscenity.  From what I have heard, it sounds like under this law, gay rights will supercede all other rights and freedoms of Brazilian citizens, including religious freedoms.  If this law is passed, there could be lots of Catholics spending several years in prison just for expressing and practicing their faith. 
This gay agenda is not about gay people being treated with equality and dignity.  This is about gay people being placed above all others, becoming “more equal” than everybody else.  So I don’t think the term “gay dictatorship” is actually much of an exaggeration, although I’m sure that many of the people involved are not necessarily gay themselves… and I certainly don’t lump all homosexually-inclined people in with “gay people.”  The fact remains, regardless […]

I recently wrote a posting imploring disabled people in Canada to let me know they were there and that they were reading “Treadmarkz”. This led me to look at the rest of the map and realize that my readership in Russia is almost zippo. I was doing some research to see what topics I could tackle to try to reach out to my Russian disabled friends. That led me to a great blog that really sums up everything that I’d been attempting to do with the Canada posting and the planned Russia posting. It is all about what its like to be disabled…outside of America.
I added it to my blog roll and I’d like to direct your attention to it. It is called “Outside America.” Give it a look. For those of you who are in the States, it will be eye-opening I am sure. And I guess for […]

Yesterday’s news is just the beginning.
“Australian Financial Crisis” to follow.
Then More Good News after 10

Financial calamities are seemingly real because centralised banks around the globe are playing a new game to induce panic. Medionic frenzy is my word to define it. Even newsreaders* are trained in how to effectively use their voice to relay the messages which dumb down our ability to decipher newsworthy versus news pithy. Turn it off. Just say no!
The idea is to not panic, please avoid knee-jerk reactions of fear and victimization. Of becoming numbed by the repetition. Your instinct, insight and intuition will guide you to the exit. Please follow their instructions and you won’t get lost or trampled. Civilisation will return tomorrow with a new episode.
Will any one be able to ask Kevin Rudd to comment here?
Till soon, W

Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist, whose “Last Lecture” at Carnegie-Mellon was about facing terminal cancer, became an Internet sensation and wrote a best-selling book, died Friday. He was 47. Pausch died at his home in Virginia, The University of Virgina spokeswoman Anne Watzman said. Pausch and his family moved there last fall to be closer to his wife’s relatives.

Pausch was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer in September 2006. His popular last lecture at Carnegie Mellon in September 2007 garnered international attention and was viewed by millions on the Internet. In it, Pausch celebrated living the life he had always dreamed of instead of concentrating on impending death.

Randy Pausch didn’t want his last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University to be about dying, but he was, sadly, dying of pancreatic cancer. He knew that it’s a painful way to go. […]

New Delhi - At least two people was killed and six wounded Friday when eight low-intensity blasts shook India’s southern city of Bangalore, police and news reports said.
The explosions took place near crowded areas and bus stations in five areas, including Madiwala, Adugodi and Vittal Mallya Road in the city, which is considered India’s information-technology capital.
Bangalore Police Commissioner Shankar Bidri told reporters that a 60-year woman who was waiting at a bus stop in Madiwala was killed in the blasts. A worker was killed in a blast in another area, the CNN- IBN network reported.
The crude bombs stuffed with nuts and bolts exploded within 15 minutes of one another, beginning at 1:20 pm (0750 GMT), and sparked panic in the city.

India’s IT hub Bangalore, hit by serial blasts for the first time Friday, is known both as a peaceful city and a safe place for setting up sleeper cells by terror groups.
It has not been rocked by terror attacks like several other major cities in India, though Indian intelligence agencies have often advised the state administration to be on guard as the city, known as the country’s Silicon Valley, is a potential target.
The first major terror strike in the city was on Dec 28, 2005, when a lone gunman opened fire at delegates coming out of an international seminar at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). M.C. Puri, a retired professor of the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, was killed and four others were injured.
The hand of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba is suspected in that attack.

The US plans to use about $320 million of “counter-terrorism” aid for Pakistan to upgrade the South Asian nation’s F-16 fighter jets, the White House has confirmed.
The financing represents more than two-thirds of the $300 million Pakistan will receive this year in such aid, the New York Times newspaper said on Thursday.
Dana Perino, the White House spokeswoman, said the F-16s are used in counter-terrorism operations and “need to be maintained … [for] support in our national security efforts”.
