Greetings,
PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THIS.
Many of you might be familiar with the imperialistic motives of the US, dating back to the Administrations of Truman and Eisenhower. Since then, it has mainly been a Republican tradition (you might argue with me on that one)to use the CIA in order to plan coups in countries and overthrow the leaders who stand against american imperialism. Take the Eisenhower Administration for example (the coup in Iran, Guatemala, and the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion in Castro's Cuba). In Caracas, Chaves was plainly against Bush's invasion of Iraq, and he made it clear by declaring that the Bush administration was trying to "fight terrorism with terrorism". And that was enough to tick George off.
Now for some of you, this might be a bit too radical. No harm done. I just want fellow nepalese to be aware of the possibilities.
Now having said that, please take your time to read the following article.
Comparisons Between Recent U.S.-Backed Coups: Caracas and Kathmandu
by Wayne Madsen
One thing about the CIA is that their playbook rarely changes. Take for example, the agency's involvement in the recent abortive military coup against Venezuela's democratically-elected President Hugo Chavez. The April 13 Washington Post reported that during the period leading up to the coup against Chavez, ?members of the country's diverse opposition had been visiting the U.S. Embassy ... hoping to enlist U.S. help in toppling Chavez. The visitors included active and retired members of the military, media leaders and opposition politicians.?
The CIA, which had a special covert team in Venezuela since last June, had groomed these potential coup leaders, which now appears to have also included members of the proto-fascist Roman Catholic cult, the Opus Dei ?.
But the most interesting aspect of the visits of Venezuelans to the U.S. Embassy before the coup there is the similarity to events that took place in Kathmandu during the months prior to the massacre of Nepal's Royal Family last June.
On June 1st, 2001, King Birendra, his wife and all his children, were assassinated. His younger brother, Gyanendra, was conveniently absent from the from the palace at the time of the massacre of all those who were ahead of him in succession to the throne. At first, Gyanendra and Prime Minister Girija Koirala announced that the worst royal massacre since the assassination of the Romanovs of Russia in 1917 had been caused by an automatic weapon that had gone off by itself. Soon, the explanation for the massacre was changed to a story befitting any Hollywood script. It was then announced that the King's oldest son, Crown Prince Dipendra, had murdered his entire family and then shot himself because his mother had forbidden him to marry a commoner. The new King Gyanendra's only son, Paras, an unpopular brute, was at the palace during the slaughter but managed to survive without so much as a scratch. Gyanendra himself has long been a CIA and U.S. corporate stooge. For example, he has a relationship with Henry Kissinger that goes back to the 1970s and the Ford administration. On the other hand, King Birendra wanted to open peace negotiations with the rebels and was also known to be a stauch anti-Indian Nepali nationalist.
Today, the news media is reporting that Nepali ?Maoists? brutally murdered 160 policemen, beheading some in the process. Like with Chavez in Venezuela, one must peer beyond this CIA-inspired corporate media disinformation. The fact remains that Chavez and his supporters are Venezuelan nationalists opposed to American bullyism. Similarly, the so-called Maoists of Nepal, while mostly leftists, are first and foremost, Nepali nationalists who are attempting to prevent Gyanendra from turning Nepal into another state of India, much like what happened to neighboring Sikkim in 1975. Gyanendra, being part of the Bush Family's New World Order, is part and parcel of the U.S. plan to throw a cordon sanitaire of pro-U.S. states around China.
In the months leading up to the Nepali coup, the CIA established an office in the Maharajgunj District of Kathmandu, next door to the residence of Prince Gyanendra. Witnesses reoprtedly saw streams of Nepali police and military officials streaming into the offices. Other U.S. ?civilians,? said to be with private military contractor CIA fronts like MPRI, were also seen arriving at the offices. In the spring, a U.S. Special Operations Forces personnel arrived in Kathmandu on a secret exercise code-named Bailey Nightingale I. The cover for the exercise was said to be earthquake disaster training. But it now appears it had another disaster in mind. The military team was composed of U.S. psychological operations (PSYOPs) personnel adept at coming up with tales like the one about the Crown Prince murdering his family.
Much is written in the western media about the Maoist leader Prachanda and Baburam Bhattarai, the leader of the Nepal Communist Party (Maoist), being terrorists. Yet they are no more terrorists than Yassir Arafat is in trying to ensure an independent Palestinian state and David Ben Gurion was in his fight to ensure an independent Jewish state. The use of the pejorative Cold War term ?Maoist? and ?Communist? against enemies of the United States is not new. in 1996, when Tupac Amaru guerrillas stormed the Japanese embassy in Lima, Peru, they were called Maoists by the Peruvian oligarchy and its U.S. allies. The CIA provided a Schweizer RG-8A surveillance plane to help crush the rebels, who were all subsequently killed by the Peruvian military. Yet Tupac Amaru, while leftist, was also naionalist. The group's name was borrowed from the pre-Spanish Incan language. Tupac Amaru's main beef was that Peru's President, Alberto Fujimori, was not legitimate because he was not an actual Peruvian citizen. They claimed he was ineligible to serve because he was born in Japan, not Peru. Now, Tupac Amaru's claim has been authenticated. The ousted Fujimori now resides in Tokyo as a guest of the Japanese government, and he said he plans to run for a seat in the Japanese Diet, something, incidentally, only Japanese citizens, not Peruvians, can do.
The CIA's disinformation machinery was proven wrong in Lima, in Kathmandu, and now, in Caracas. The CIA and George Tenet, its director, have once again been shown to be nothing more than scam artists with a knack for lying through their teeth.
According to unblemished sources in Kathmandu, the king and his family were quickly dispatched by a Nepali army commando unit trained at the time by U.S. Special Operations forces sent by U.S. Pacific Commander in Chief Adm. Dennis Blair (he's the same guy who propped up Gen. Wiranto with special training while the good general was committing genocide in East Timor). What was to become the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Influence (PSYOPs division) prepared a story, with the assistance of India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) intelligence agency, that the King and his family were murdered as a result of the Crown Prince going nuts with automatic weapons after being forlorn over his mother's refusal to allow him to marry a commoner.
