[chottala.com] Turning the screws (al-Ahram, Cairo)

I agree with you. Its a lie that Jews own USA.

FACTS:

1. Saudi Arabia in the name of her 2 Princes, has owned 51% of world's largest Company General Motors that manufactured, Cadilac, Buick, Oldsmoblie, Cheverolet, Pontiac, Corovet etc plus Armored Vehicles and Tanks for US Armym since 1973 and still owns it.

2. Saudi Arabia has been owning 1/3rd of the biggest Bank of the world Citibank for more than a decade.

3. Saudi Arabia once in 1980's had owned almost all Oil Companies of USA that owned 85% of all Petrol Pumps of USA and US Paraliament had to dis-integrate Saudi company ARAMCO's holdings in USA to end that monopoly under Anti Trust Law.

4. Saudi Arabia has also expanded in to other businesses of USA and by some conservatice estimtes, total holdings of that country are more than $ 4 trillion in USA, when yearly GDP of USA is less than $ 14 trillion.

5. Total worth of USA, her 50 states, factories, banks, companies, shopping centeres, stores, businesses, open lands, forests, mines, ports, airports, roads, highways, Armed Forces all the way up to President House is $ 180 trillion of which Saudi Arabia owns more than 2%, Jews own less than half percent and the richest man of the world Bill Gates owns 1/360th.

6. If you count the Businesses, Properties, Shares in Stock Markets of USA owned by other Moslim Countries or royalties of those countries plus Moslim Immigrants to USA, total holdings of Moslims are 13 times that of Jews in USA or Israel or a lot more than 5% of whole worth of USA.

Moslims are greedier than Jews (world-famous for being greedy) and all they want is to keep making money instead of forming a Moslim Lobby in Washington to pressure the Government, Senate and Congress. If they cared about Palestinians or other Moslim Countries, they would have gotten all the problems solved with their Campaign Contributions to the Canddidates running for President, Senate and Congress. They are stingy and make very little Campaign Contributions to any candidates running for election or re-election and that is just to protect their personal Interests anyway.

How is it possible that entire Arab is floating over oil and Arab kings are enjoying their earthly heavens having dozens of wives in their Islamic harems, yet here in Gaza some pious muslims (jihadi of course) suffering by utter shortage of fuels (oil) and destined to depend on Jewish kaffirs for their life saving oil? Why this tragedy? What the hell all Arab brothers are doing?

Turning the screws

Israeli justice condones collective punishment, reports Marian Houk

Immediately after the Israeli High Court of Justice rejected a petition on 3 January from a group of 10 Israeli and Palestinian human rights organisations asking for an injunction to stop the state-ordered second round of deep fuel cuts to Gaza, the petitioners submitted an urgent request for a new injunction.

Their new request for court intervention concerns the continuing shortfall in delivery of industrial diesel fuel that is used to operate the main Gaza Power Plant, according to Sari Bashi, the executive director of GISHA, which has taken a leading role in the case.

The Gaza Power Plant currently supplies about one-third of Gaza's electricity. Before the June 2006 Israeli air strike, which destroyed all six of the plant's transformers, the power plant was able to provide nearly two-thirds of Gaza's electrical supply.

It took months of reconstruction work -- and negotiation with various Israeli government officials -- to get the materials needed. Despite all these efforts, only half of the plant's pre- strike capacity was restored.

The human rights organisations who went to the Israeli High Court had been informed that a second round of fuel cuts -- Phase II -- was scheduled to start on 30 December, with a military-ordered reduction of some 35-43 per cent (depending on what numbers are used as the baseline) in the amount of gasoline that would now be supplied to the Gaza Strip.

It became clear, Bashi said, that the Phase II measures had actually been in effect during the previous week, though they have not been applied exactly, as the state informed the court.

The Jerusalem Post reported after the court ruling that only 230,000 litres of gasoline, used mainly by automobiles, will now be delivered per week to Gaza.

But monitoring of actual amounts delivered last week shows that the cuts in gasoline have been deeper than predicted -- instead of 230,000 litres, more like 190,000 to 200,000 litres were actually supplied.

The Phase II fuel cuts ordered by the Israeli Defence Ministry were also supposed to include a temporary restoration to pre-cut levels in the amounts of diesel fuel that will be allowed into Gaza.

Diesel supplies are used to run Gaza's main power plant and all back-up and emergency generators, which are a vitally-needed back-up source of power for essential services during the frequent random power outages in Gaza. Many public institutions and certain hospital services are also dependent on diesel fuel, including the laundry and sanitation services at Gaza City's Ash- Shifa Hospital. Some automobiles and other vehicles also use diesel fuel.

The state told the Israeli High Court that "everything's fine" in Gaza, Bashi said. The court said that it was dismissing the petitioners' request after recording the state's commitment to avoid a humanitarian crisis there, as well as the state's assurance that it is possible to distribute selectively the reduced quantities of vital supplies that will now be allowed into the sealed-off and virtually isolated coastal strip.

The Jerusalem Post reported after the court decision that "the state announced that in accordance with a humanitarian survey it had conducted, it would renew the supply of diesel fuel to the level that preceded the cutbacks." But GISHA and the other petitioners maintain that the Israeli government has no means to actually monitor or verify the humanitarian situation inside Gaza.

GISHA's Bashi said earlier that after the Phase I fuel cuts were ordered, diesel supplies were reduced from 1.4 million litres per week to 1.2 million litres. Industrial diesel supplies were reduced from 2.2 million litres per week to 1.75 million litres.

But monitoring information shows that while regular diesel supplies are reportedly back up to pre-cut levels, industrial diesel supplies delivered last week were still only at Phase I level (1.75 million litres), which means Gaza's main power plant is now in trouble.

As a result of the Phase I fuel cuts, the Gaza Power Plant has now used up all its fuel reserves. Rafiq Maliha, deputy director of the Gaza Power and Generating Company, confirmed by phone in Gaza that as of Saturday the fuel reserves had reached "a red line" and were virtually zero, and that a drastic new cutback has already been in effect for the past 24 hours: "Yesterday, starting at 2pm, we reduced our production by 30-35 per cent due to lack of fuel."

This means that there will be eight hours of no electricity services per day for everyone in Gaza "if you have an ideal situation." If there are further breakdowns, the situation will only worsen.

Maliha said, "we have been asked to manage without stopping either one of the two turbines now in operation." If both turbines are shut down, the Gaza Power Plant's production would then be reduced by 50 per cent.

So, they are trying to preserve the two turbines now in operation, Maliha explained, by "asking the distribution company to reduce the loads." But this "must be done manually, and the process is not easy," Maliha said. "And we don't have the capacity to monitor the situation to know if this is working."

Maliha is now affiliated with the GISHA-led effort to block the Israeli military's cuts through the Israeli High Court. In an affidavit supplied to the court, Maliha said that only about 45 MW of electricity are now being generated, instead of approximately 65 MW.

This will only increase the difficulties in Gaza, where technicians and engineers have been rolling black- outs and brown-outs to handle an overall 20 per cent deficit in electrical supplies since the partial restoration of the destroyed Gaza Power Plant. Fears are that the electricity deficit could become unmanageable.

A decision on additional military- ordered electricity cuts to Gaza is still pending, and the court has now set a 3 February hearing date.

GISHA says that Gaza is not an enemy state, despite its designation as such by the Israeli government on 19 September, in response to continuing rocket attacks on Israeli territory in the western Negev; rather, it is an occupied territory. And, Bashi says, all these cuts "are completely illegal."

Though the state and the court seem to believe that cutting gasoline that is used mainly to run automobiles seems non-life-threatening, Bashi begs to disagree: "Health care workers can't use their cars now, for example, because there's not enough gas. This doesn't enhance Israeli security. It only further endangers 1.5 million people who are being pushed to the brink."

Israeli lawyers and human rights organisations are increasingly lamenting the lack of support for Palestinian rights in the Israeli court system. Miri Weingarten, the coordinator of projects in the Occupied Palestinian Territory for the Israeli-based Physicians for Human Rights, said in an interview with Ramallah-based RAMFM radio (South African owned, also operating in Israel), that her organisation's rate of success in court has been going down rapidly: "Unfortunately, the Israeli High Court of Justice takes the side of state policy," Weingarten said.

Weingarten added, "Israel intends and wishes to punish the general population in Gaza, and they're not hiding it -- in fact, they've stated it clearly." Physicians for Human Rights has been trying to help very ill patients in Gaza who need to leave for medical treatment outside, whether in the West Bank, Jordan, Israel or elsewhere in the world. But, since Hamas ousted Fatah security forces in the middle of June last year, she said, the difficulties have been immense.

Earlier on the same radio programme, Dr Ahmed Abu Tawahineh, deputy director of the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme, said that since last June, only a hundred patients have been allowed out of Gaza to seek treatment -- less than 10 per cent of the more than 1,000 applicants.

What happens, Weingarten explained, is that "patients who meet difficulties call us. We send their papers to our volunteer doctors, who then try to intervene with the security at Erez crossing. If the requests are denied and security reasons are given then we go to the High Court of Justice. Unfortunately, the situation of the patients deteriorates in the meantime, and there have been deaths."

"We had 133 patients applying to us after mid-June," Weingarten said, "but the most have had no response at all and so we could not even make an appeal to the court." Of this number, she said, only five got permits directly, and another seven got permits after court intervention.

But, she said, "sometimes the claim of security concerns looks ridiculous. We've had patients who were unconscious, blind, deaf, or dying of cancer, who were called security risks."

There have been new policies in place since September, when Gaza was designated an enemy territory or hostile entity, Weingarten noted. One is that even life-threatening cases are not allowed to pass, and the second is that the Israeli General Security Services, or Shabak, have called patients to underground rooms at Erez crossing and asked to provide information on other people, or be refused permits. "This form of medical blackmail is to be condemned. In fact, we believe it is torture to deliberately withhold medical care for non-medical reasons," Weingarten said.

"Only pressure can now change this policy of the total isolation of Gaza," Weingarten said.

Physicians for Human Rights was in court last week with a list of some 17 cases, and "all of these cases were extremely urgent and life-threatening." But the state said that there were too many to discuss all together, and asked us to choose the most urgent. We replied we could not make this selection." One can only compare this to Nazi practices in concentration camps during World War II.

[chottala.com] US$5.2 Billion Dollar Underground Train System in Bangladesh. Is it a good plan?

If under ground real can be maintained in Kalkata why not we?

"M. M. Chowdhury (Mithu)" <cgmpservices@yahoo.com> wrote:

I am not sure who has approved the US$5.2 Billion underground transport system and they might be drunk or something. I understand that Dhaka needs a better system to cope with population explosion but underground system will be a disaster. Let me ask them a few questions:

1) Bangladesh does not have adequate electricity, how Bangladesh will able to provide uninterrupted electricity to the underground train system. What will happen if electricity is out and million of people stuck in the under ground system?

2) How Bangladesh will protect this underground system, any Tokai can put a Bomb inside and explode any part of the system for whatever reasons. It will be a mountain of job to secure the whole line as far as Bangladesh is concern.

3) This underground system will be a future bargaining chip for the violent political leaders and parties. They will seize it if their arguments are not respected. This will be a total disaster for Bangladesh.

4) Bangladesh can not buy enough rice, pay oil bill, where the hell they will get $5.2 Billion even through few foreign countries wants to pay for it.

Please CTG think twice before you commit this stupid plan as far as Bangladesh is concern. Try to find alternatives with fly over bridge system where train can be run.

--M. M. Chowdhury (Mithu)

Is this CTG is better than Ershad in case of political party reform and anti corruption drive ?

[chottala.com] What Bangladesh got from recent Advisory Council reshuffle?

What Bangladesh got from recent Advisory Council reshuffle?

This is off course not the only analysis, but we think this is the most important analysis.

According to our assessment, the members of the current interim government has one lagging. As a group, so far, they have failed in one arena. To be fair to them, we recognize that the time has not run out yet. However, a good example is always a welcome ASAP.

Other than pursuing the election roadmap, the next biggest project of the government is the anti-corruption drive.

To show solidarity of the drive, the council of advisors could have declared their wealth from their own initiative.

Or, they could signal that NBR could publish all the tax files of the individual members of the Advisory Council. This should become a norm of every public official holding elected office. How better to shart the tradition than by a voluntary initiative by themselves?

From the body languages of the different officials including the advisors themselves, it seemed that all the members were not ready to publish their weath details to the public. If that assumption is true, we hope that the advisory council that we have now, after some dropouts and resignations, they will be able to do so.

The most important gain from the latest reshuffle of Advisory Council could be that the Council is now ready to declare their wealth. If they are all mentally ready, they can always do that if needed, or at least, if they want to show the goodwill.

We really really really wish that comes out as true - whatever the timing is.

If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columinsts in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.

Also, if you thought the article was important enough so it should come under attention of the head of the government or the head of anti-corruption commission, please forward the message to them.

[chottala.com] New US Immigration Policy

According US Immigration law any Legal or Illegal Immigrant convicted and jailed for a Crime could be deported but that law was never enforced until 2 year ago. Last year over 270,000 have been deported after serving their sentences in jails countrywide of which over 70,000 were legal Immigrants and had Greed Cards. Their Legal Immigrant status was revoked and Green Card taken-back and cancelled.

According to an INS (Immigration & Naturalization Services) senior Official on CNN today, this year's estimated deportation would be over 400,000 because now more and more Counties and States have been told to hand the new Immigrants over to INS after they finish their Jail term.

According Anti Immigration Lobby of USA, ...

1. Immigrants commit more Crimes than average Americans.

2. Illegal Immigrants commit more Crimes than Legal Immigrants.

3. Crime Rate of Mexican Illegal Immigrants is the highest and deporting them does not help because they always come back illegally in to USA again and start using another name, living in a different city in USA.

FACTS:

1. Every year about a million Foreigners are granted Legal Immigration in USA.

2. About a million Foreigners enter USA USA every year illegally mostly from US Mexican Border.

Re: Amnesty International launches new Bangla website

Mr Ayubi

Of course it will benefit us. This web site will create a genuine awareness

about some burning issues of todays world.

Fair criticism is only way towards perfection of a nation.

The is no need to hide our faults and deficiencies.

The sycophants overlook, but the real friends criticize and points

the short-comings and thereby helps to improve and reach our goals

for a democracy where ordinary people are benefited.

Amnesty International headed by Irin Khan is the leading organization in the

world that has and is exposing the US attrocities in the name

of "war-on-terror". It seems that you are not very happy about that.

Please revisit the sites:

http://www.amnesty.org/sites/impact.amnesty.org/files/PUBLIC/

http://www.amnesty.org/en/counter-terror-with-justice

Close Guantįnamo
Stop abductions
No deals on torture

According to Amnesty:

"The so-called "war on terror" has led to an erosion of a whole host of human rights.

States are resorting to practices which have long been prohibited by international law,

and have sought to justify them in the name of national security".

We are very proud that Bangladesh-origin Irin Khan is leading this Amnesty International.

We don't need to hide our faults to "look good" , we have to correct our faults and

improve our image.

Thanks
