Julian Assange Case

Hello world,

Julian Assange is a role model for fearless, free and truthful journalists and journalism of that kind.

i chanced upon an article, “Assange asylum seen as travesty of justice in sweden”By Patrick Lann and Mia Shanley | Reuters – Tue 21 Aug, 2012   i sum up in simple terms what i understood of the ‘Assange episode’. i may be wrong in simplification of events.Pax Britannica, Pax Americana and Code de Sweden are unanimous in branding Julian Assange as a criminal and fixing him for his sins which are routine sexcursions for leaders and people sitting in high places in India and many Asian as well as western countries. Bed partnership or bedpartnering  is frequently solicited in appointments and promotions in Indian civil ,revenue ,administrative ,police ,foreign and judicial services. That is an open secret.

What for Manu Abhisek Singhvi is penalised by Indian media’s Kangaroo Courts ? His case is a test case.There are many in line !

My comments sent in response to Reuters story are for your perusal.

Julian Assange is facing a paradox in his life. He was invited to Sweden by a lady. He was facilitated to stay at her apartment. Both had sex with condom in the first act. After ‘enjoying’, she was fast asleep, when Assange as accusedly said by the lady had sex with her without condom. That made her apprehensive to suspect Assange to be suffering from HIV or in a carrier stage of that monstrous disease. The second lady accused him of sexploitation with or without condom. If this happens in India, nobody would even bother to pay attention to either of the ladies. It is taken for granted that when a lady invites a friend to stay over and sleeps with him, the consent of both individuals is not presumptive but conclusively of definitive nature. Subsequent sexcursions and abortions are routine affairs. Sweden is a country with unique set of laws on consensual sex. Nobody saw or heard or video-graphed Julian Assange in compromising situations with the dialogues on consent. It seems Assange is trapped and framed by these two notorious ‘lady friends’. It is difficult to believe that a person like Julian Assange relaxed his norms to this extent and got trapped. There is definitely something more hidden below the Swedish Carpet than it is apparently perceived.

With Swedish facade of justice and a sort of witch hunt or say name game , we in India associated with Indi Leaks, a poor copy of Julian Assange’s Wiki Leaks are the first casualty . We had to decide postponement of all publications and revelations by Indi Leaks sine die. As a fall out of Assange’s case in the U.K. we had acute shortage of resources and the most essential host servers. Leaks of any name, anywhere in the world is definitely a brainchild of Assange .All freedom lovers who are truth seekers also hope and pray for Assange’s safety and honourable legal resurrection by Sweden, Great Britain and the USA.

Fareed Zakaria Episode

Hello world,

Good day . i prefer to express my views on a very recent issue .

How far TIME and NEWSWEEK are authentic ?

I quote,” In a piece Fareed Zakaria wrote for Time on gun control after the tragic Wisconsin gurdwara massacre, he lifted a passage from Harvard University history professor Jill Lepore’s piece published in The New Yorker”I unquote.( The Fareed Zakaria episode and the hypocrisy of American media : Nadim Asrar) That is all about Time’s credibility.

Fareed Zakaria  must have delegated or assigned the job of writing this particular piece to a junior editor or writer as a routine affair. He/she must have lifted the relevant passage from Prof. Lepore’s write up. The art of ‘copy and paste’ did not work . Reason? Prof. Lepore is a contemporary figure. His write up appeared in The New Yorker . The hot topic is very recent. The FZ material was published in TIME.

In Indian set up, it is not a matter to be ashamed. From parliament to panchayat, films to TV serials, newspapers to magazines ,columns to guest articles, designs to dresses, interiors to exteriors , medicines to mechanics we have excelled in this art. The Chinese are our main competitors.

If there is a ghost writer, he can not be excused. He has to prove that his past write ups are written by him and not anybody else. If Fareed Zakaria has performed ‘copy and  paste’ trick himself, he has proved his Indian genes and what not.

Once  this happened with Indira Gandhi. She delivered an extraordinary speech, rich in content and diction. It was acclaimed by national and  international media and  experts. Then it was revealed that a part of the text was lifted from a write up of a Pakistani economist ( i beg your pardon. i fail to recollect his name).Indiraji, as she was , did not react. She was cool. A few days after the revelation, a report appeared that ‘Prime Minister usually writes her speeches, but, that particular speech was prepared by a speech writer. As far as my memory permits he was DP Dhar . The Pakistani expert was a contemporary economist and a renowned expert on Indira Gandhi’s subject of speech. He was magnanimous , large hearted and never mentioned Indian Prime Minister’s mistake anytime in public. DP Dhar did not lose his job. Fareed Zakaria lost his job , reputation and left a permanent blot on surname ZAKARIA.

As far as i have understood,publication of any news, artcle, write up, cover story , centre page story , it is a business for TIME, NEWSWEEK and any other Indian publication ( of repute or disrepute) . It is nothing but a successful PR Management at every level. Throw money and you get a report of your choice. Money prevailed when Narendra Modi was displayed on front page of Time. Nitishkumar’s money jump was a bit weak and short with the same Time.

i remember an incidence. City of Surat had devastating flood and plague with communal disturbance on the top of it. Surat’s Govt.MedicalCollege had one Prof. B.D. Parmar who managed to appear in a Time report of medical excellence during Plague. WHO was taken for a ride and the formation of a special institute for Plague research was anonunced. Nothing happened thereafter. i know for sure that Prof. B.D.Parmar used this prank to survive in service and ‘medical academic politics’.Unfortunately, i happen to be a journalist and medical doctor. Therefore i could see through Dr.B.D. Parmar’s games. Since then i cancelled subscription of Time.

We should never take media reports seriously. Unless & untill proved otherwise, all media reports , articles & write ups as doubtful.

Recent example is about a report in NEWSWEEK. It displayed 101 or so best eateries  in the world . i understand that  this Newsweek story is  meant for adult fools.

Remember , Newsweek is a cousin of Time !

Money is only key for them and their reporters and media agents.

Are we in a position to say favourable words about Indian media ? No, not at all.
