A new colonialism tactic?

Clinton Cash (2016)


Another Hilary Clinton bashing documentary made just before the last US elections, written and produced by Trump's former White House chief strategist. It is based on Peter Schweizer's New York Times best-selling book by the same name. The contents of the film are so highly damaging that, if real, Hilary and the Clinton Foundation can be charged with high treason.

When Bill Clinton left the White House after his second term, the Clintons were broke with legal bills involving Monica Lewinsky. Through the Clinton Foundation, also known as Clinton Group Initiative (CGI), Bill started a fund to finance charity works.  Bill gave lectures and was paid through CGI.

Pretty soon CGI was embroiled in brokering deals. They were intermediaries to mediate international oil drilling and mining contracts deals involving dictators in places like Rwanda and Nigeria. The tyrants are feted in the international arena and in return they offer deals to businessmen who in return pay the Clintons handsomely. The arrangement was made easier when Hillary became the State Secretary.

In Haiti, CGI collected funds after the devastating 2010 earthquake. The victims were not helped, but instead, a textile mill deal went through. The Clintons also have the feet immersed in a cesspool of corruption in the Keystone XL Pipeline, an ambitious project to build an oil line from Canada to Louisiana and Texas despite the environmental damages. They helped in securing mining and timber deals in Columbia, oil contracts to the then enemy of the State, Iran. Then there is the Indo-US nuclear deal. Their biggest treason must be brokering uranium deal in Kazakhstan. Because of their wrangling,  through a company set up through this exercise, Russia has come to own 20% of the uranium mines in the USA. That is deemed as a threat to national security. Uranium may go to the hands of rogue nations or individuals who may go on to develop nuclear menace around the world or worse still, on their soil.

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar:  The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad  (Telegu, 2024) Director:  Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari   and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.  ( Abs:  Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
