Shocking links of Richard Benkin to Khaleda Zia government
Shocking links of Richard Benkin to Khaleda Zia government
BRF has often been a sounding board for various elements who have pushed their interests on the board over the years. In particular, one can recall a now deceased Islamic scholar whose work resulted in attempts to conduct a religion-based survey on the Indian armed forces.
If I'm not mistaken, US activist Richard Benkin visited BRF some years ago. At the very least, it is important to know who one is dealing with, especially if the person or entities have links as odd as the ones shown below.
RICHARD BENKIN WAS AN AGENT OF KHALEDA ZIA GOVERNMENT
Richard Benkin was registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in the US as an agent of Bangladesh government when Khaleda Zia was in power (Khaleda Zia is usually hostile towards India). The following information was found on http://fara.gov
http://www.fara.gov/docs/5708-Exhibit-AB-20050907-1.pdf
http://www.fara.gov/docs/5708-Supplemen ... 0418-1.pdf
Note that the person he reported to and whom he has named in the filing (item #6 in the first link above) is State Minister for Home Affairs Lutfozzaman Babar. Lutfozzaman Babar was helping ULFA carry out bombings in India and has been given the death sentence for terrorist activities:

WIKILEAKS SHOWS US GOVERNMENT DISTRUSTS RICHARD BENKIN FOR HIS LINKS WITH TERROR-AFFILIATED IDP
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/huji-forms-p ... 081-8.html
Sources in Bangladesh say that HuJI, which has been blamed for several bomb blasts in India, gathered under the banner of Islamic Democratic Party for an iftar party in Rajshahi district on September 8.
http://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/0 ... 078_a.html
In passing, Amin also noted gadfly journalist Shoaib Chowdhury (whose legal problems have been chronicled in past Human Rights Reports and in Ref and Amcit Richard Benkin's strange involvement with the IDP.
http://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09DHAKA203_a.html
In the meantime, the trial almost remains a sideshow as Choudhury continues to dabble with the Islamic Democratic Party (IDP), the political arm of the banned terrorist group Harkatul Jihad al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B).
According to Choudhury, Dr. Richard Benkin, an American citizen, had also been in contact with the IDP and supported his efforts at &promoting interfaith understanding...
Despite Chowdhury's assertion, Post has srong reasons to believe that the IDP acts as a foil for terrorist groups.
RICHARD BENKIN'S PAYMASTER LUTZOFAMMAN BABAR WAS PRESENT AT D COMPANY MEETINGS
http://www.eurasiareview.com/13022012-i ... -analysis/
Even the then State Home Minister Lutfozzaman Babar was present in those meetings. These meetings with the mafia don assume significance as D Company activists are also known as mercenary killers.

Re: Shocking links of Richard Benkin to Khaleda Zia governme
And great example of personal satya-aacharan, shiv ji. This is what saves Dharm.
I always had this itch to prevent too much of focus on Pakistan in BRF but I was simply too alone and too clueless and too outsmarted. My simplistic mind always held me back, always suggesting that a dis-balance in approach will absolutely as hell leave us open to exploitation by the people who consider us a commodity. People who have already exploited us in the past and we need to beware of.
Aditya ji, thanks for your post it deserves to be in the best posts thread. If Dhananjay ji has already not posted it there I will.
Shiv ji, one more thing, the garu I track did advise taking the whole thing into GDF despite the same inclination as the ones who got led by this keeda called Benkins. Hope you don't treat my post as worthless triumphalism. I do care, how people who care for India get treated in the 'real world'.

Re: Shocking links of Richard Benkin to Khaleda Zia governme
I will bet dollars to donuts that the thread linked to by hakim saab has been started not by Dr(?). Benkin but another who wanted to draw attention to that name and public face and the real persona behind it.

Re: Shocking links of Richard Benkin to Khaleda Zia governme
matrimc - the thought I had was that it is a thread started by the real Bhen-kin in a naive attempt to whip up a frenzy of Muslim hate online. He may have been playing this game elsewhere as well. We did not fall for his game on BRF.
If he was a covert supporter of Islamists - the act of provoking violent anti-Muslim sentiment in India has always been a game that has attracted Pakshitlamists.

He could simply have been acting for one of the alphabet innocent agencies of USA. Dont swallow everything wikileaks gives as revealing all the agencies. A suspicious mind would be uneasy with Snowden too. What if the real moles sit tight and laugh.
It looks to me if story true - just a regular part of US intel ops. Use certain types of rhetoric to trap and tab or manipulate and gain info on. If I was in charge of planning such stuff - I would find Benkins most useful.

If Babar was whom he reported to - kept in touch - look whos behind bars now! in a way Benkins acted smart isnt it?
Re: Shocking links of Richard Benkin to Khaleda Zia governme
This is precious.
I wasn't active on the forum during that period. Could you clarify - who is the person being referred to in the religion-based survey of the Armed Forces? Benkin himself? Thx.aditya wrote:In particular, one can recall a now deceased Islamic scholar whose work resulted in attempts to conduct a religion-based survey on the Indian armed forces.

I had reviewed his book on BR. It was biased trash, but I was polite as a reviewer. The author had sent the book to be reviewed.

Don't know who the scholar is; Arjun Singh who was behind this and fits the "dead guy" description, but scholar? The committee was headed by Rajinder Sachar.

Sorry, Jhujhar, but the evil Pervez Kutta, evil 6th coujin of the gentle Abdul Bin Kabul, was the one that (treacherously and with malice aforethought) provoked that gem, so he remember(ed) very clearly: That was Kal**m Kawa*a. Hu dis "Khalidhi" I am 404.One callRiot Control Man of Indian origin

But when all is said and done and smoke clears, the only point above is the BD guvrmand got fleeced to the tune of $5000 (a pittance) by someone promising to "disseminate news". Posting on Pee Aref, which reaches 1,700,000,000,000,000 Indians including the 700,000,000 Indian Army raping the Kashmiris 600 times a day, plus the 20,000 anal-ists of the See Ayyeh, Free biscoot agintzy, Mossad, Eye Ess Eye, K gee Bee etc. satisfies that contract, hain?
What other evidence of his ACTIVITIES does the above have? If you go by this criterion, anyone who has ever bought furniture at Ivan Allen (I have not, no worries) is a Paki terrorist supporter (CEO is, well.. enuf said). Anyone who has Cable TV and thus supports CNN is a Chinese/Islamist/Conversionist/State Department flunky. And anyone who buys an Apple iPhone, iPad, or Mac is a PRC agint: paid $$$ directly to the PLA!

Both Khali & Khwa were Budy Budy at personal level. There is one Indian Adyapak with the name AssTosh V who too is part of this private, fudy-budy-Dudy cabal.UlanBatori wrote:Sorry, Jhujhar, but the evil Pervez Kutta, evil 6th coujin of the gentle Abdul Bin Kabul, was the one that (treacherously and with malice aforethought) provoked that gem, so he remember(ed) very clearly: That was Kal**m Kawa*a.

Probably that is it. India/hindus should keep the cool and not fall until they can chose the time and place to punish the guilty. Delayed gratification a la xtian teachings.shiv wrote:matrimc - the thought I had was that it is a thread started by the real Bhen-kin in a naive attempt to whip up a frenzy of Muslim hate online.
