DogVijay Singh's latest Poop: Team Anna should have faith in parliament

There is a famous quote by Rita Mae Brown:

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

All experiments of "Peace with Islam by non-Islam or Reforming Islam" have failed. All experiemnts with "Socialism" have failed. All experiments with "Appeasement of Bullies" have failed". Now, in the name of the Constitution of India, this is what our Parliament believes in and practices, except that it expects a different result! So what can we understand by this? That the parliament is insane!

Now, the empty shell Dogvijay Singh has advised that Team Anna should have faith in parliament. Who else but a fool will have faith in insanity? Who does DS think that he can fool? DS must strictly confine himself to tutoring Rahul Gandhi as it would be doubly useful. It keeps us away from DS's fecal production, and it will keep RG away from political power!

Coming back to the Constitution of India and the Parliamentary System, we must recognize that both have squarely failed. We need to take a serious relook at the whole system. It is only those who have huge vested interests in the matter keep parroting that "parliament is supreme" or that "our constitution is sacred". Whatever does not work despite decades of efforts must be rejected as unworthy. Not only has the system not worked efficiently, it has brought our nation state to a near breakdown and on the verge of complete disintegration. Owing to Secularism we remain prey to Jihadis, owing to Socialism we remain on the brink of economic disaster, and owing to Mohandasian non-violence, we remain vulnerable to bullying neighbors. If someone continues to advocate faith in these then he must either be a damn fool or a damn evil or both.

Team Anna: Arrogant Self-Image Humbled by Reality

Team Anna is planning to have a Constitution. Anna Hazare said: "In future, a constitution will be framed for the anti-corruption movement, following which the core committee will be revamped."

We had mentioned months ago that:

Here we pose a simple question:

Which is better: Discuss, debate, conclude and then communicate the conclusion OR decide and then offer explanations while maintaining a rigid stance?

Our answer: A sane way is the former, and typical Mohandasian way is the latter.

...

Thus, our message to the people is:

Look, observe and understand the follies of such nature. You can love, respect and even follow whichever leader you wish to, including Anna, Baba, and so on; however, force them to shun their insane, dumb-fuck ways. For insanity will beget more insanity, and dumb-fuckery will beget even more dumb-fuckery!

Let the skeletal framework be: Think, act and learn; and not Act, explain and repent!

After indulging in "Act, explain and repent", and seemingly paying heavy price interms of growing public misperception, Team Anna wants to return to the reasonable "Think, act and learn".

So now they want to make a Constitution for their movement. But should they not realize that this is what Politics is about! So what happens about their claims regarding they all being apolitical? After making "Politics" an abomination, they are forced to commit the same abomination themselves!

So long as Indian Reformers refuse to see themselves as larger than life, so long as they refuse to put in necessary intellectual home work, and so long as they arrogantly believe in their own infallibility, there can never be even an iota of progress towards real and workable solutions. Whether in Social life, or in Political life, action without clarity will only lead to confusion, as it has done in Team Anna's case.

At the first Time-Out in the Fight Against Corruption : The Game so far.

This whole anti-corruption movement has been rudderless from the very beginning. It has looked promising but that is all about it!

For a broader understanding let us collect a few points about which there can be little disagreement (we hope so!).

1. Corruption is a big problem in India. Almost anything can be done by paying bribes. People in high places or those with connections can get away with rape, murder, sedition, you name anything!

2. Anna is a decent man (not so sure about his team though). However, being decent does not necessarily imply that he (Anna) is a very intelligent man (on this front, about his team, the less said the better!). In our opinion, Anna, and more so Team-Anna, like the RSS (SP = Sangh Parivar) etc., is a case of "heart is right but the head is empty"; though we must add that his team is possibly much much worse.

3. Congress has been just marginally better than Islam, and deserves, not merely to be defeated but rather decimated. All the political parties have had to toe the Congress methodology owing to our sick electoral system. Thus, unfortunately, at the present moment there are hardly any politicians who are clean.

4. There is utter lack of leadership in the country. The society as well as the polity are on a cruise mode with neither a driver nor any definite direction! The general drift being "whatever happens happens!".

The result of this has been:

1. A general, ubiquitous, and almost all pervasive loss of trust in, and unadulterated disdain for, the politicians and the political system.

2. A growing realization that something needs to be done and thus a willingness to rally behind and around any one who is willing to provide a rallying point.

The Problems with these movements:

1. Notwithstanding the fact that even a Jan Lokpal Bill can not be a panacea against Corruption, this anxiety and passion amongst the masses, should be (should have been) harnessed for not only dealing with the problem of Corruption, but rather bigger problems like Secularism and Socialism (read Mohandasism and Jawaharism) as well. However, these movements seem to desire a reinforcement of these two poisonous ideologies!

2. There must be a realization that the causes are leadership-crisis and bad politicians; and therefore the solution would come through effective and coherent leadership and cleaning up of the political system. However these movements managed to have, what might be termed a pandora-box leadership and a spite for politics. Thus on the one hand each member of the team is busy making a buffoon of himself, and on the other each is competing with the other in establishing himself as the most apolitical person!

Thus, as the unavoidable consequence, we now have a non-stop comedy show offering us rib tickling entertainment, while the atmosphere is permeated with looming perils of dire tragic outcomes for all of us as a nation. The strategy, in our opinion, must be:

1. Using the energy and passion of the people, the effort must be directed into achieving bigger goals, e.g. dethroning Secularism and Socialism from their crown positions), and towards drafting of a new Constitution rather than drafting of mere new Bills.

2. Instead of discrediting politics and scampering to appear - the fashionable - apolitical, discredit bad politics (and politicians) and more importantly encourage and push good people into becoming good politicians.

If there is failure in doing this, then the inevitable result would be:

1. Anti-Hindu forces will hijack anti-corruption movement.

2. Apolitical "politicians" will end up becoming the next generation of "dirty politicians" or worse still we will have a rudderless ship for much longer exposing us to the dangers of dire consequences mentioned above.

As is often said: To fail to plan is to plan to fail. Let that mistake not be committed.

Sick PM Manmohan Singh : the King of hypocricy! And the terrible state of our politics.

The blot on sardars has given an interview again. In an interview to NDTV, the imbecile, hypocritical, shameless, evil Manmohan said among other things, in answers to various questions, the following. We quote pertinent portions of the interview here with our comments:

Question: On attacks on Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal, and if these were signs of growing intolerance?

PM: Well, there is no place for violence in our democracy, therefore any act of violence is to be condemned, on that point I am absolutely clear that nothing is gained by pursuit of violence, howsoever angry one may feel, there are more civilised ways of expressing one's anger and frustration.

What do you mean Mr. Singh? Is condemnation enough? So you just condemn the atrocities on the peaceful protesters at Ramlila ground and leave it at that? As the PM of the country is it not your duty to ensure that the guilty are brought to book? What happened against anti-National ranters like Prashant Bhushan is violence, then what will you call what your government did to the peaceful protesters at Ramlila grounds?

On your second point, you have ensured that everything is gained ONLY through violence. Geelani, a leader of violent Jihadis, came and thundered at you and went away. And you and your stooges, in abject servility, were protecting his freedom of speech. But when a non-violent Baba was staging a protest against corruption, not only were barbaric evil atrcities were committed, you had the foolish audacity to state that whatever happened was inevitable? Do you know that an old lady by name Rajbala finally succombed to her injuries after suffering for weeks in the hospital? What do you expect people to do? Condemn the act? Mr. Singh, you and your stooges deserve to be at the receving end of usually what you and your stooges have been perpetrating on peaceful people. Nay, much much worse.

Question: On rising threat perception from China and plans to tackle it?

PM: India and China are neighbours, we have problems. The border problem is a long standing problem, but it's my sincere hope that is possible for us to find ways and means by which the two neighbours can live in peace and amity. Despite the persistence of the border problem, our both countries have agreed that peace and tranquility should be maintained along the border. Therefore, despite sometimes something appearing in the newspapers in our country, something appearing in the newspapers in China that I think invites comments, but overall our relations are quite good. I have good working relations with President Hu Jintao, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and I am convinced that the top leadership of China wants peaceful resolution of all problems that exist between India and China.

Like illegitimate ideological father, like illegitimate ideological son. Where restraint is needed, as against peaceful protesters, horrible atrocities were commited and you condoned them. And where urgent action is needed, you advocate trust on your personal convictions? You shameless leader, do you remember what the consequences were of similar foolishnesses by Jawahar?

Question: On reorganization of states and formation of commission?

PM: Well, if you are talking about the establishment of states reorganization commission, then that has been under discussion for several years. There have been proposals from several sources that there is scope redrawing the federal map of India, but we have not taken a view on this matter.

When can you disclose your views on the matter? Congress never reveals its views beforehand. It always discloses its views post facto. This deception won't work any longer Mr. Singh.

Question: On Tamil Nadu CM's comment that she did not receive PM's letter on Kudankulam?

PM: Well, I am sorry. I have seen that comment. I had sent a letter. When I go back I will look at my office as to why the letter which was sent did not reach her in time. But I do feel that we can give reasonable satisfaction to all the stakeholders who are worried about the safety of the atomic energy plant at Kudankulam. And for that matter I have offered to the Chief Minister that we will set up a high level group to interact with the state government, to interact with the local population. That will be set up today or tomorrow.

Wow. Are you sorry? A truly commendable feat. You incompetent bureaucratic inefficient clerk masquerading as a leader, you can not even ensure delivery of a simple yet important letter on time; and you think you can deliver much greater goods, like freedom from corruption, or the Jan Lokpal Bill? As a clerk, you know nothing more than setting up endless committees, a strategy known as committology. Why did you not say that you will set up a committee which will look into setting up of a committee which will oversee the setting up of another committee ad infitum? That would have saved your backside even better.

Question: Wall Street movement and similar protests spilling into India?

PM: Peaceful protests are allowed, and are part of functioning of any democratic polity. And there are reasons why people are protesting. People are protesting in Wall Street, in Europe about the fat salaries that the bankers are getting when people are being asked to tighten their belts. There is problem of growing unemployment in United States. There is worry in Europe also. So, these are problems which the system must have credible answers to take them on board. I think democracy that way, provides outlet for people's frustrations, which I think is a very timely warning, for all those who are in charge of the processes of governance.

Oh yes? Peaceful protests are allowed? Where? In the USA? Or did you mean India? You hypocritical cheat, you allow even violent protests, so long as they are by Muslims, Christians, Communists, Dalits, and so on. For peace-loving Hindus, no protest is allowed!

Whether they pass the Jan Lokpal Bill or not, Congress must be made to pay for the sins it committed on protesters in Ramlila ground.

Two members of the core team from Team-Anna have left alleging that the movement has turned political! Bigger hypocrites leave smaller hypocrites?

Two team members of the core team from Team-Anna have left. The reason? Anna's movement has turned political! Bigger Mohandasians leave smaller mohandasians! This is what happens with hypocrites. Bigger hypocrites criticize smaller hypocrites. Let us take a quick look at the movement.

The claim of the India Aganist Corruption is that there is a need for a Bill to bring into place a mechanism to check and punish those from the highest to the lowest place, who are corrupt. Their suggested mechanism is the Jan Lokpal Bill. For the moment let us ignore whether JLB is a correct solution or not and focus on the other aspect. If one is addressing a problem whose solution requires a passage of a bill by the parliament, then what can be said about the nature of the problem? The problem is related to good-governance, and the solution is about good-governance. Now, what is the nature of politics? In the present context politics is about governance. So the problem and the solution are related to politics. So how can someone be apolitical and bring about a solution to a political problem? It is possible that one does not take any stand about any political-party; and yet takes a political stand. Which is what needs to be done in this case. Social change will come through education and needs longer time. Systemic changes require legislation in the short run. Deeper systemic changes require new Constitution which in turn will happen in medium time scale. Nevertheless, political change is an undeniable part of the change that is needed.

In contrast, Anna and his team have been considering themselves above - not just above corrupt politicians, not just above politicians, not just above corrupt politics - but above politics itself. They may be deluding themselves into believing that they are leading only a social movement; but they can not ignore that the movement is for political change. Granted that they are not looking to change merely the political party which might be in power, or to change superficially the existing political parties; rather they aim to bring about a change in political thinking across the spectrum. Thus at best (we still do not agree though) they can call themselves social-activists for political change (observe the misnomer!). In reality, they are political activists for political change. They may not belong to any political party or political ideology (as of now), and they may not be interested in contesting elections, but they will be much better placed if they realize that they are doing politics. And there is nothing wrong or contemptible about that. Political system requires cleaning and they are attempting that. So it is political action. Plain and simple, and it is well and good!

Thus owing to this hypocritical self-image resulting in taking the stand that they are "far removed from, and above politics", each is competing against the other in pretending that each is more apolitical than the other! Anna never stops to ask himself, especially since he considers himself to be a Mohandasian, if Mohandas was a politician or not. Mohandas indeed was a politician and a bad politician at that. He practiced the same hypocricy of claiming to be above politics and all the time playing politics. It is no wonder that his able followers are doing likewise. Thus, we now have more than a dozen who are competing against each other for the coveted spot of "the most Mohandasian of all"! All those who wear caps with slogan "I am Anna" forget that Anna himself is wearing a cap with slogan "I am Mohandas"! Once this is so, can bad politics and hypocricy be far behind? Thus Bhushan exhibited his apolitical stature by blabbering on Kashmir, and others have followed suit. They allege, like the sissy Justice Hegde did, that campaigning against Congress is tantamount to becoming "political". This is as confused as Anna thinking that if his movement drew any support from members of RSS, the movement became "communal"!

What needs to be realized is the following: Anti-Corruption movement can draw support from any group, and yet remain an anti-corruption movement! Since anti-corruption movement is about good-governance, the goal of the movement is political, and they should not try to hide the political nature of the goal. Their strategy may be to generate a mass socio-political movement which brings pressure on political parties to take necessary steps. Thus team Anna can claim that they are not seeking governmental posts of political power. However, the nature of their work remains political. There is no need to shy away from this. Corrupt politicians (like most of the current politicians), corrupt political parties (like most with Congress at the top!) must surely be discredited. But "politics" by itself must not be discredited, rather the importance of politics must be acknolwedged. Politics is too serious a thing to be left for corrupt and incompetent politicians! Therefore, what we need are not apolitical people, but good politicians! Thus, for better efficacy team-Anna needs to make it a "good political movement" rather than a "bad and hypocritical movement". We have already mentioned that anti-corruption movement must not let itself be hijacked by anti-Hindu ideologies. Similarly, the movement must also not be hijacked by "apolitical hypocrites" or "bad politicians"!
