Delhi blasts - Shocking! Responsibility?

Both Annikki and I were shocked at the blasts that hit Delhi yesterday evening.

I am particularly familiar with the Paharganj area as I spent many hours there during my college days and also my working life in India, as it is next to the New Delhi Railway Station and also near where our family company, MM Foam, had its Northern India Regional office.

We watched three major TV Channels, BBC, CNN and even the vile war-mongering Rupert Murdoch channel, the Unfair and Unbalanced FOX.

Although all the anchors of these channels were saying that the possible criminals were Islamic terrorists, I was not convinced by any of the arguments. The Finnish channels did not ascribe any motives and only gave a factual representation of what had happened and what was happening.

Let us look at the regional situation today.

The Earthquake has meant that all the Kashmiri terrorists are extremely busy trying to find news and help their loved ones. They are unlikely to be going about the business of destabilizing the situation which could save the lives of their loved ones. The only groups that are not happy with this are those who would like the continued tensions to exist between these two countries - and these are the major arms dealers, US, Britain and France. The US, in particular, does not want growing links in solving the problems as that would mean their efforts to keep their operatives in the area would be seriously disorganized.

The relationship between Pakistan and India is stable at the moment. It is unlikely that the Pakistan Secret Service ISI would have asked any of its operatives to have spent their time destabilizing this relationship. Once again, the only groups that are not happy with this are those who would like the continued tension to exist between these two countries - and these are US, Britain and France.

The Iran - India relationship, which includes a closer relationship with Pakistan, is exceptionally strong as the recent deal on gas and oil between these countries is one hand of friendship that has been offered by India in these troubled times. Once again, the only groups that are not happy with this are those who would like the continued tension to exist between these two countries are US, Britain and France and especially the Oil and natural gas giants in the international arena. India has been particularly active in the United Nations against the campaign by the US to whip up war-like tensions with Iran.

The situation in Afghanistan is particularly troubling, and the Al Qaida is taking a serious toll of the Afghan illegitimate Government and the US and its coalition forces. India is not co-operating with these and the recent visit of the Afghan puppet pResident to Pakistan was an effort to get propped up by them. Hence this farcical Government and its puppet masters, US, Britain and their coalition certainly would like to keep the stable destabilized.

The success of the Bonn Conference that established an interim government in Afghanistan owes much to US-Indian cooperation. Working together, American and Indian negotiators convinced Afghan participants to reach agreement on the Bonn Accords. But Bonn was just the beginning. Afghanistan will require constant and intense international attention and support in order to overcome the legacy of more than 20 years of violence.

Accomplishing this task will be exceedingly difficult for the Afghans, even with outside help. India-US collaboration will play a crucial role in meeting the challenge of restoring stability in Afghanistan. India, like the United States, has been a major contributor of relief and reconstruction assistance for that blighted country. (JM: But the US does not want India to destabilize their power structure there, which is what is being demanded by the group of other countries bordering Afghanistan (China, Russia, etc.) and with which India has shown sympathy.)

An even greater challenge, and one I anticipate with real optimism, is to repeat our mutually supportive diplomatic efforts for all of South Asia, the adjoining regions of Southeast Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East, and the world as a whole, including close cooperation within the UN system. The United States and India remain co-chairs of the Community of Democracies and will continue to work together to promote democracy throughout the world. Our collaboration can only make the world a safer and more just place.

The relationship between the Palestinians as well as Israel with India is particularly good. US is frightened it will not figure in the final equation, if India takes its status as a superpower. It is likely that as the strength of India grows, India will act as a mediator in many international crisis areas, including Israel and Iraq, Israel and Iran, Israel and Lebanon, Israel and Syria, as well as Israel and Palestine. This is especially troubling for the US, which was the reason the recent reform of the UN and the expansion of the Security Council was thrown out by the US.

The relationship and trade between by India and China is growing by leaps and bounds, much to the horror of US and the EU countries. Every effort is being made to ensure that this ship is rocked, both by putting pressure on China on its currency and on India by any means possible.

The increase in co-operation between Venezuela and China and India, and the increase in cooperation in trade and exploration for oil, is particularly troubling to the present US malAdministration. hence destabilizing each of these countries by any means possible is on the top of the agenda of the the secret service. "After Iraq it is Venezuela - the next oil confrontation between America and Euro Zone and this time a new super power coalition of India, China, Russia and Brazil makes the difference"

The deepening crisis of the Bush administration both on the domestic and foreign policy means it is looking at any means possible to turn the focus away from what is happening, both in the US and in Iraq. It is not the first time that the US administration has used diversionary tactics to draw attention away from itself.

Although I have no proof in physical form, my gut instinct and my review of policies in place in each of the countries listed above, and I am usually right, tells me that the blasts in Delhi were engineered by US undercover operatives and not by Islamic terrorists, as only someone with the death and destruction criminal brain of John Negroponte, of much fame of being associated with the hit squads in Ecuador the Reagan era and also the present hit squads of the occupation of Iraq, has the focus to ensure this type of diversionary tactics.

I hope the Indian Government looks deeper at the techniques, issues and likely instigators, before associating these terror blasts with Islamists. To me, it points directly to the PNAC (Project for the New American Century) destabilizers. Remember that it was PNAC that put forward the vision for the invasion and occupation of Iraq!
