Conspiracy theories from 'who ghost wrote Franks' biography of Indira G' to 'was Mike Denness fixed by SA to revenge Hansiegate'[ for those who have a short memory : Sachin was found guilty of tampering the ball by Mike Denness ] People's imagination is tested in these times to come up with more imaginative connections between seemingly unconnected events / people and establish a credible set of "facts" which support their theories. And when one cannot find a suitable scapegoat they can always fall back on Indira Gandhi's 'foreign hand' theory. Blair repays debt to Scarlett by making him chief of MI6 for saving his skin in the Hutton enquiry, What was the deal between Blair and Lord Hutton, to get Gilligan and a defiant BBC board implicated? Sweet revenge : Gilligan and the board director lose their jobs while Blair is on the way to sainthood. Will Hutton be the next law minister if Blair gets re-elected?
Will the 'whistleblowers' from Abu Gharib be eliminated 'with extreme prejudice' lest further disclosures embarrass the almost-certain-to-be-re-elected Bush and his war-mongering cronies? What's few more to a few thousand already dead and a few million more on their way to the hospital to slow and painful death due to depleted uranium ammo? Bush protects Rumsfield to protect himself... Rumsfield could bring down Bush like a ton of lead if he senses that he is in trouble, after all Bush did order the humiliation of 'eye-raqis' didn't he through the secret services? to avenge the humiliation of Bush Sr. by a defiant Saddam...
What does Amnesty International say about the Guantanamo facility or the Abu Gharib concentration camp? Nothing... after all Amnesty's job is just to rap gently on the wrists of western powers for abuses of human rights while arm twisting the browns and blacks of the world to toe the line of the sole superpower. But the US doesn't care for Amnesty reports do they? They get it written the way they want them. Whitewashed with a few small grey spots, so that it looks like a 'fair' assessment. You need to worry only if you are a weak brown / black nation because your ration can be withheld on charges of human rights abuse.
The inhuman dictator in Zimbabwe nationalises private schools on the pretext that they were racist? But who attended those schools? Who could afford them with inflation in Zimbabwe being around 800%? Sons and daughters of ministers, rich business people and huge property owners : in Zimbabwe that means mostly blacks. So is the Establishment in Zimbabwe calling their own sons and daughters racist? There must be something else here. What are we missing? I guess a few pictures like the Abu Gharib ones would help.
After all a picture is supposed to speak a thousand words...
