“The Gaza Canal”: Conspiracy Theory? Or, grand geo-strategic plan ?

This lady in the video has quite an interesting take on the underlying and publicly not-so-very well-known reason for the Israeli military move to extend its control over the entire Gaza Strip territory. It might sound like a conspiracy theory but many of its aspects seem not implausible … well… not to me, at least. Continue reading ““The Gaza Canal”: Conspiracy Theory?

The New Communist Manifesto

Watching this video made me think : I have a feeling all this public outcry is really not so much for Hamas or Palestine cause as it is a whole young American generation fed up with the broken American social contract that has left them hopeless and powerless —- their pent-up anger is against grossContinue reading “The New Communist Manifesto”

“Chaos Theory” underlies American foreign policy right across the Arab World

I spent 25+ years working as an expatriate corporate manager in the Arabian Gulf countries from 1993 through 2020. In my line of work I travelled to many countries across the Middle East — UAE through Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Turkiye, Morocco … And I worked with many colleagues there who were Saudis, Bahrainis, KuwaitisContinue reading ““Chaos Theory” underlies American foreign policy right across the Arab World”

What has AMERICA really gained from, or hope to gain, from the Ukraine War ? Does anyone in the world really know ?

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/07/ukraine_an_expendable_country_may_soon_run_out_of_expendables.html Pretty grim and sad reading indeed is the above very well-informed analysis on the current status of the Ukraine war.

The Road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions

It seems to me that both America and India find themselves on the horns of the same Hamletian Dilemma : “to quota or not to quota, is the question”. America’s Supreme Court has just given its verdict: Enough is enough of Affirmative Action . India’s Supreme Court continues however to tread most gingerly on thatContinue reading “The Road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions”

“The Economist” (UK) on America’s new best friend, INDIA

Here’s my own take on this editorial published in the latest issue of of The Economist UK : (please scroll right down to read the reproduced piece) 1. The title should have been rephrased as “ America’s new best fair-weather friend”. 2. India is certainly more democratic and far less liberal than the West. Why?Continue reading ““The Economist” (UK) on America’s new best friend, INDIA”

STATE CAPITALISM: “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”?

What set me thinking hard after reading the news-report reproduced below is why such a big furore or political storm gets created in India by the media, civil society, hordes of “green” and/or Human-rights NGOs and the Lutyens media mafia as well whenever the Govt of India or some other state government comes forward toContinue reading “STATE CAPITALISM: “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”?”
