Rajiv Gandhi played a middleman for Saab-Scania aircraft deal in 1970s

Last updated on: April 7, 2013 at 11:34 pm By Desh Kapoor

By all counts, Rajiv Gandhi was one of the most horrendous choice for India’s Prime Minister. He oversaw by far one of the most terrible massacres, and started the mess in Sri Lanka. Was responsible for Bofors scandal, and unleashed the sorry phenomenon of his incompetent and thoroughly corrupt wife and kids. A legacy that he perfected. Here is the Wikileaks on how he played middleman in Saab-Scania aircraft deal. Late PM Rajiv Gandhi may have worked as a middleman for Swedish company... Read more

Crony Capitalism, dysfunctional Republicans and Democrats and the doom of American Economy

Last updated on: April 7, 2013 at 10:54 pm By Desh Kapoor

Is the American economy doomed? An ex-White House Budget Director, David Stockman, thinks so. He thinks US is compromised economically, morally, and intellectually. 1980s White House budget director David Stockman was a right-hand man to his boss Ronald Reagan. Deep in the heart of the Reagan revolution. In 1985, Stockman resigned. Moved on. Now he’s looking back on 80 years of American history and economics and politics – and warning we are in giant trouble. Practically doomed, Stockman says, by... Read more

Use of Antibiotics in US meat production is breeding “Superbugs” and deadly infections

Last updated on: April 7, 2013 at 10:12 pm By Desh Kapoor

The use of anti-biotics in the meat production and the farms in general is at a point, where one US House Representative says is like pouring chemicals into kids’ Cheerios. This discussion is absolutely scary!!! I am surprised no one is even talking about it in the US the way it should be talked about. Everybody knows the basic issue with antibiotics. Overuse them, or casually use them, and you undercut the miraculous effectiveness of one of the most important... Read more

“Flying Pakistani flag in US and Canada should be illegal”: What is Pakistan and where is it headed?

Last updated on: April 5, 2013 at 12:18 pm By Desh Kapoor

In this discussion, which started from the article of Tarek Fatah on why flying the Pakistani flag in Canada (on a Govt building during a function) was illegal to the history and reasoning of why and how Pakistan was formed. How the “Anglo-American Enterprise”, as Tarek calls it, was instrumental in the formation of Pakistan. And it had nothing to do with Islam.

India heading to a massive water disaster!

Last updated on: April 4, 2013 at 12:26 pm By Desh Kapoor

India has 18% of the world’s population, 2.6% of landmass and 4% of renewable water reserves. This is something that we need to be acutely aware of. And on top of that, we are messing up the water resources that we do have at an alarming rate. Looks like we don’t just believe in suicide, but collective and mass suicide. As this note says very correctly – we are headed towards a disaster unless we completely change the way we... Read more

Pakistan’s youth wants Shariah not democracy as Imran Khan rises

Last updated on: April 3, 2013 at 9:32 am By Desh Kapoor

There is a tremendous upsurge in Pakistan in the recent days for Imran Khan and his party – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), just before the national elections. Although there have been issues, but PTI and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) have been working on seat adjustments for the elections. JI is known to be strong Islamicist organization. As Imran Khan – seemingly modern but strongly Islamicist and supporter of conservative Islam (see the videos below where he supports Taliban style Shariah rule in Pakistan) – gains... Read more
