Nepal King Sacks Government, Assumes Power

Tamil insurgency ... fueled-almost exclusively-by illicit money flowing into that nation from the West.

I'm sure you know more about it than I, but in Phnom Penh the Tamil arms purchases were fueled by heroin, according to those who were paying attention to it.

$14,000 a kilo for scag, $75 for a good AK, $125 for an M-16, $5 for a hand grenade.

I love a good royal coup. As Mel Brooks said, "'S good to be the king!"

[Destro]

Putin did less and is cursed more.

[jb6]

Putin can make a nice enemy to the neocons. Imagine if Putin had threatened to exterminate the US West Coast. Why he'd be enemy number one. Thank God it was only China that threatened that, our Most Favored Trading Partner and the recipient of neocon love. Proving once again, the neocons are traitors.

[Destro]

My theory is that the neocons, being ex Trotskyite Communists, even though they have moved on from their Communist origins, have inherited the Trotskyite hostility to Russia - no matter what the issue or who is in charge.

I say more power to the KING!!! He's locked in a life and death struggle with Maoist/Communist insurgency, no doubt sponsored by Red China. Besides, as far as I can tell, His Majesty has the right to disband the Deuba government under the Nepalese constitution. Putin, the KGB-president, gives aid and comfort to Communists the world over. The King of Nepal fights them. Big difference. For this, and other reasons, the King of Nepal gets my vote.

Freedom House is a front organization for the Council on Foreign Relations. Screw them.

Earlier, the King had sacked Deuba in 2002 for failing to hold elections, but asked him to form the government last year as the rebels stepped up insurgency in the Himalayan kingdom.

Is this King Gyanendra or George Steinbrenner we're talking about here?

LOL Your comment reminds me of an old NY State Lottery commercial

"If I win the lottery I'm going to buy a big league baseball team then hire one of the most successful managers in franchise history. Then when he wins too much I'll fire him. Then I'll hire him again until he starts winning. Then I'll fire him again. Then I'll hire him again. Then I'll fire him again. Then I'll hire him again. Then (commerical fades out with guy still yelling like Steinbrenner)

Freedom House is a front organization for the Council on Foreign Relations.

I've heard the C.F.R. mentioned a few times, but being in England I don't really know what they are. What are they? I'm guessing that you're not their greatest fan.

[Destro]

MAOISTS - Chinese origins - Cold War ally of America.

Putin - fights Jihadi Islamists and eneacted less restrictive policies than the UNELECTED Nepalese King did to protect his nation from a guerilla terrorist threat.

So you show your retarded bias clearly. I support both the Nepalese King and Putin - though I wish they did not have to resrt to such measures.

[Destro]

The CFR are a national sovereignty diminishing organization. Meddlers with free trade agendas.

"So you show your retarded bias clearly. I support both the Nepalese King and Putin - though I wish they did not have to resrt to such measures."

Putin gives aid, comfort and arms to Commies and terror-states the world over. No comparison.

[Destro]

Only for cash - like good capitalists.

"Destro wrote: "Putin did less and is cursed more." I say more power to the KING!!! "
But both Putin (who is not a king) and Russian apologists (on FR and outside of it) lay claim to more exalted status, too - namely, to Russia being an important and significantly civilized place. Thus it is only fair to adjust the judgment to the claims. If it were a small and insignificant principality of Muscovy, then there surely would not be much (if any) cursing. How much cursing, after all, is engendered by the governmental practices of Central Asia "-stans"?

[Destro]

Russia an important part of civilization - from the arts and sciences to history. Moscow is the third Rome and a fouth there will not be.

They're an independent, impartial, watchdog group, led by Nina Shea.

Nina Shea is one of the most respected authorities on human rights-especially as it relates to the persecution of Christian minorities-in the country, if not throughout the entire world.

"Maoism is the fruit of China, not India"

I was up on the Tibetan border in 92' and couldn't help but notice the heavy Nepalese troop presence there. Relations were certainly far from friendly with the Chinese then. I also noticed in the previous article that the Maoist insurgency has been ongoing for nine years. I think it's been going on longer than that as I heard of rebels when I was there in 92'.

"It is ludicrous to even suggest that the Indian government-even one controlled by the socialist Congress Party-would want a proxy government, established by PRC-inspired henchman, on their border."

Hi , I am not saying it is with overt or complicit Delhi
approval. So much corruption , so much takes place with the handing over of a few Rps. Yes some weapons are caught , but many more make it thru due to payoff's. Same with hospitalization for wounded Nepali Maoists , officially they should not be found in Indian hospitals , but they are and in great numbers throughout UP & Bihar and elsewhere.
And why is this 'blind-eye' business tolerated? Because
India may feel it has it's hands full facing Pak in the West
all all the evil that issues forth into Kashmir from there, they do not want to stir up a 5th column among their own dear Naxal's anymore than they can avoid. So the Nepal struggle drags on. It is amazing to me that people here , obviously of Indian origin or sympathy, deny the very apparent Nepali Maoist base that is rooted in India.
Indian Intel certainly knows the full extent of it.
What the game truly is one can only guess....totally bizarre.
