US to consult India on goals in Pak, Afghan: Obama aide

http://guanabee.com/2009/06/the-fellows ... n-c-street

Yesterday during South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s bizarre press conference, he said that a group called, “C Street” has been counseling him and his wife on their marital problems. I.e. the fact that he’s having an affair with one Maria Belen Chapur (or Shapur depending on who you read) of Buenos Aires, Argentina. That name “C Street” also came up last week when Nevada Senator John Ensign confessed he was having an extra-marital affair. So, who is this group?

Turns out C Street refers to a four-story townhouse located on C Street in Washington, D.C. two blocks from the capital. It’s owned by C Street Center, a sister organization of The Fellowship, a non-partisan Christian group that sponsors the National Prayer Breakfast–anonymously. Indeed, despite having spent almost 1 million dollars on last year’s breakfast, The Fellowship was not listed on the invitation and most attendees continue to think the breakfast is sponsored by the President or Congress. Furthermore, The Fellowship very quietly rents $600 apartments–a steal in Washington, D.C.– to eight members of congress on C Street.

Everyone involved says there is no conflict of interest, but a further look into The Fellowship reveals a fascinating history of secret Christian policy making dating back to the 1940’s when Methodist evangelist Abraham Vereide brought the prayer group idea to Washington, D.C. from Seattle for fear that Socialists were ruining America. What follows is but a sliver of their amazing record of influence over former Presidents and dictators from across the globe and even pop musician Michael Jackson:

The amount of financial pull The Fellowship holds over our nation’s policy makers raises serious concerns about their ability to do their jobs without letting their religious affiliations get in the way. When you compound that with the fact that many of these guys, (Samford, Ensign, Durenberger to name a few), are not even living up to the morals they are secretly imposing on their ignorant constituency, we are left with a lot more questions than answers. Like, should the separation of church and state, a principle derived from the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, deny politicians the right to accept housing from a religious group?

The same thing was mentioned in NPR today who wrote a book on the influential christian fundamentalist church called the Family. Apparently these guys are very well connected and they even have a Buddhism demonisation day and Hinduism demonisation day.

http://www.amazon.com/Family-Secret-Fun ... 0060559799

Checking in on a friend's brother at Ivenwald, a Washington-based fundamentalist group living communally in Arlington, Va., religion and journalism scholar Sharlet finds a sect whose members refer to Manhattan's Ground Zero as "the ruins of secularism"; intrigued, Sharlet accepts on a whim an invitation to stay at Ivenwald. He's shocked to find himself in the stronghold of a widespread "invisible" network, organized into cells much like Ivenwald, and populated by elite, politically ambitious fundamentalists; Sharlet is present when a leader tells a dozen men living there, "You guys are here to learn how to rule the world." As it turns out, the Family was established in 1935 to oppose FDR's New Deal and the spread of trade unions; since then, it has organized well-attended weekly prayer meetings for members of Congress and annual National Prayer Breakfasts attended by every president since Eisenhower. Further, the Family's international reach ("almost impossible to overstate") has "forged relationships between the U.S. government and some of the most oppressive regimes in the world." In the years since his first encounter, Sharlet has done extensive research, and his thorough account of the Family's life and times is a chilling expose.

Based on what Brahma Chellaney writes, I wonder if it makes sense for India to give any large military deals like MRCA to US.

What the US seems to be doing is squeezing India strategically while expecting full economic benefits in terms of military deals, nuclear reactors etc.

Based on what people are writing, people like Blackwill, Sumit Ganguly, Brahma Chellaney, B Raman, it appears that India should not expect anything from this administration. What they will get is a few speeches here and there and then be expected to give big ticket economic deals to the US. Yesterday there was some low level functionary saying that IS is not neglecting India and that was reported in Rediff.

Just a thought. Gurus here please pardon the mistakes if any.

What would happen if India conducts all its trade with SAARC(forget pakis), south east asia and china in currencies other than dollars(i,.e, if they are not doing it already).
It seems the entire world is financing US through the dollar. All the effort which US puts is print the dollars.

ashish raval · Post by **ashish raval** » 02 Jul 2009 15:12

I strongly believe that US was/is not in favour of super-power India. US knows that India has/had lot of Russian friends in ministry partly because of fact that India was strongly pro-Russia during cold-war. It will take another 10-15 years to infiltrate the ministry with pro-US thinkers/planners. However, in long run US will align its interest with that of India not because of its new find love, it will be because of economic compulsion and market for their products in India. Remember strong India is good for US civil aviation, nuclear, defense and technology industry. Right now Indian market is of little/no interest to them. Democrats/Republicans are two sides of same coin. They reason India is annoyed partly because of fact that Democrats are hell bent on undoing everything that Bush had done in the past in terms of foreign policy initiatives and in doing so I fear that US-India relations will go downhill if India does not take crap what US throws at them which will surely be the case. In this light, I strongly feel that India should cut US to its size and strongly avoid any kind of uttering, let alone talk on Kashmir because it is the issue that US wants to keep alive and squeeze India diplomatically in future. If there is any mention of Kashmir, we should bluntly tell in front of media that it is a bilateral issue to be solve between India and Pakis.

I strongly believe that Obama will do everything he can to reduce its dependence on China/India in terms of manufacturing and service industry respectively. It is very critical time for planners/thinkers in India because it is on growth tragectory and any mis-directed steps will severely dent India's growth trajectory which is what China is actively looking for. India needs massive investment in manufacturing, education, infrastructure and hi-tech goods manufacturing as much as tune of 250 billion dollars inorder to raise the stature of India to a level where it will be taken seriously on international front. Otherwise, we should sit back and relax uner developing nation tag for next 50 years atleast.

A simple way to reduce the dependence is barter trade. You give me 10 apples, I give you 10 banana's.

Said this long back, it is time India improved. Instead of depending on other countries. Too much reliance on externalities and very little internal development.

Buy the MRCA only if it suites India, not as a political tool, etc.

Yes it is true in a way but that currency need not to be US Dollar's. The problem is International bourses which usually trades in US Dollars and hence US keeps on printing money in return of gas, goods etc while others keep on feeding them in return of computer chips, $$'s and Jumbo-Jets.

White House to have India Desk at National Security Council

Implementing the commitment of US President Barack Obama to deepen Indo-US strategic ties, the White House has carved out a separate India Desk at its National Security Council (NSC).

India is only the second country after Russia to be handled separately by a Senior Director at the National Security Council, thus indicating the significance being attached to New Delhi by the Obama Administration, which is keen to take the ties between the two nations to a new level.

"We have recently done a slight restructuring of the National Security Council whereby Donald Camp has been appointed to be the Senior Director exclusively for India, because we want to put focus on that relationship," NSC spokesman Mike Hammer said.

"This is rather unusual," he added.

"It reflects our commitment to try and develop a strategic partnership that is going to be in the interest of both countries. That simply reflects our commitment and interests in strengthening what we already feel is a good relationship that can be furthered deepened," Hammer said.

The spokesman said Russia is the only other country which has an exclusive Senior Director at the NSC. "That is the only other example we have," he added.

"This is coming out of the President's interest based on a very good relationship he is developing with Prime Minister (Manmohan) Singh. And of course, the President very much looks forward to welcome him at the White House in the Fall," Hammer said.

On behalf of Obama, National Security Advisor General James Jones had invited Singh to visit White House this fall; which has been accepted by the Prime Minister. This visit is separate from that of the September visit of the Prime Minister to attend the G-20 Summit in Pittsburg.

Russia - American Rival

India - ?

And where is China, the 'Strategic rival' of America, or so say the western experts and the gullible Indian imitators ! Or is it all just hog wash ?

The DDM reporter thinks this is a signal of american 'commitment' to India. No wonder a section of Indians consider slumdog millionaire as arrival of India on international scene !

I recently watched CNN's coverage of Afghan/TSP US Army operations. The marines are apparently targeting Helmand area. Maps show clean demarcation lines between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. However what is disturbing and must be protested is that Kashmir is shown in dark hatched marks divided into three pieces. The J&K portion of India is also in such shadings. The US is fighting a lawless Afghan / TSP where borders are ignored. The only dispute is the portion of K that TSP and China are holding. J&K is a democratically elected state government. Boo to CNN.

I have been saying this for years: Make Kashi, Mansarover, Kailash, Lahore, Haripur, Swat, Tibet disputed. Claim it. CNN and Western media have been showing Arunachal also in dotted separate lines if you noticed. Even Google Earth. Try it.

This is becoming a joke. Every tom dick and harry neighbour claiming something from India. India South Block should make a statement that China's credibility on Tibet being a part of China is being studied.. for starters (put in 2 profs with some standing who are not leftist) and you'll get a few months laer a good technical and analytical analysis wy China's claim to Tibet is so mediocre it pales into insignificance with India's historical, linguistic and traditional linkage to Tibet as opposed to Han China's. Fa Hseins quote to boot 4th Cenury AD: "travelling through the high mountains of Tibet..i encountered just around 1000 men, all practising the religion of India" (not exact, as from memory) Thats the famed Chinese traveller who came into India via Tibet..1700 years ago. Aahh then why should India forget Mansarover and Kailash. Just a few lame military excursions deep inside and back should do the CNN/ BBC dot dot mapped disputed territory trick. Let people know and talk about it in the world media. India claims Kailash, Mansarover...We seriously deserve more agressive and determined and strategically aware leadership.

India Joins Russia, China in Questioning U.S. Dollar Dominance

Dollar's Days of Dominance Dead

While it may not constitute the final “nail in the coffin”, India commemorated the 4th of July by joining China and Russia in announcing they were seeking “alternatives” to the U.S. dollar (as “reserve currency”). With yet one more “prop” removed from the gangrenous greenback, this left only the submissive Japanese as the last major holder of U.S. dollars who strongly supports its continued status.

If China is so worried about Dollar's worthlessness , why does it continue buying US treasuries? China is free to diversify into any currency , it wants or it can buy gold or commodities.Why all this non-sensical hupla dupla ? China owns about 700 billions of treasuries that Fed, Japan and oil sheikhdoms will buy anytime from China.After selling it , China will have no levergae over US.
If dollar is worthless, others are worse.Dollar is world's reserve currency because US military might is unchallenged.If China can beat it down, Yuan may take its place.

Indian Growth Jul 4, 2009 8:10 PM GMT India's economy is currently $1 trilion. USA's is $14 trillion. Even at the unsustainable growth rate of 10%, in 10 years, India's economy will only be $1.1 trillion. That means it will take over 140 years at 10% growth every year for India to catch up to USA. India will be the biggest economy in 10-20 years? Keep dreaming.
