The J&K Governor officially writes about an imminent 8.0 magnitude earthquake

I still cannot beleive this.The J&K Governor,Mr NN Vohra officially writes about a 8.0 magnitude earthquake.

In disbelief,I've read the news report several times.

The Governor seems to be fairly certain that 8.0 magnitude earthquake is imminent in J&K.I'll quote from the report:

---------

A week after studies by Oregon State University suggested that Jammu and Kashmir is ripe for a major earthquake that could endanger the lives of a million people, Governor NN Vohra has urged Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to take personal cognisance and issue firm directives to each and every stakeholder to forthwith start preparing for dealing with an earthquake of 8.0 magnitude and above.

.....The Governor has urged the SDMA must take urgent and time bound steps for strengthening all possible structural/non-structural mitigation measures to reduce the risk vulnerability in every part of the State, particularly the two capital cities and all the other densely populated high risk urban areas. Side by side, the various urban administration authorities, governmental and elected, shall need to strictly enforce a techno-legal regime to ensure earthquake resilient structural measures in every new construction, and, side by side, retro-fitting of all life-line structures, particularly hospitals, schools,colleges, universities, railway stations, airports and buildings housing important government offices.

---------

The present state of research in earthquake tells us that we have not yet got the technology to predict earthquake with any degree of accuracy.We also know that the cutting edge researches in earthquake are being conducted in California.But the J&K Governor seems to put his complete faith in the Oregon State university research report.Beside,the Governor has,defying the presently accepted consensus that earthquake prediction is still work-in-progress,jumps to the conclusion that 8.0 magnitude earthquake is imminent.

Why?Is it something with the date,the 27th of May,2016?

Today,the 27th of May 2016 is the day the President of India is concluding his China visit.

So,is the Governor trying to link a 8.0 magnitude earthquake with China?

I have got no answers for all these questions.

But one thing is certain--there is something definitely fishy about the official letter of the J&K Governor.

Bitterness as defined by Sunni-Shia and Chinese-Vietnamese rifts.

Indian Prime Minster,Mr Narendra Modi's ongoing Iran visit forces us to have a re-look at the battleline.

The battleline will witness more than expected subtler engagements.

Let's go straight to Mr Narendra Modi's Iran visit.The focus of the visit is the signing of the Chabahar port agreement.Chabahar is barely 100 kms away from the Gwadar port in Pakistan,which is being developed and operated by China.It's easy to see that Chabahar is a direct response to Gwadar.

Indian officials say that the distance between Kandla and Chabahar is shorter than that of New Delhi and Mumbai.Besides,Iran will supply really cheap natural gas to the Indian facilities there,with the particular emphasis on the production of urea on the cheap.If executed as planned,India would reap huge benefit,especially in the cheap production of urea.

But I think the economic benefit is secondary to India's quest.The primary aim is empowering the Shia world(Iran being the Shia capital of the Islamic world)as India's strategic and geo-political goal.

In short,as is usual in Indian mindset,they want to outsource the fight with Sunni extremists(the best example being the Islamic State) to the Shia Muslims.

While Modi was witnessing the signing of the Iranian agreement in Tehran,Mr Barack Obama,the US President,announced the lifting of the 5-decades old embargo on arms sales to Vietnam during his ongoing state visit to that country.

During Yahoo Messenger days,we used to chat up with a lot beautiful Vietnamese girls.Even after a brief acquintances,we most of the time came to know that many of the girls were fleeing from Chinese men.Apparently,they had no ill feelings towards the Chinese men and the Chinese men also did not do any bad things to them.But,still,they were fleeing.

Later on,I learn that Chinese-Vietnamese relationship is quite complicated.Early in history,Chinese and Vietnamese started out as a single people,probably on the lines of Tangkhul-Meetei story.Later on,there cropped up an inexplicable bitterness between them,just like the hill-valley bitterness in Manipur.

As we have seen here in Manipur,there has been no outright hostility between hill and valley but some kind of a smoldering bitterness.As we cannot put a finger on the genesis of the bitterness,the rift between hill and valley always look insurmountable.I think the same dilemma applies to the Chinese-Vietnamese relationship.

As Prime Minister Modi has dragged the battleline into the surreal world of Sunni-Shia rift,President Obama was doing the same thing to the Chinese-Vietnamese rift.

In a dramatic coincidence,Imphal valley,right at the moment,is witnessing a chaotic situation,just like a shut down,on account of an outwardly Muslim-related issue.

It's Muslim-related only in appearance.Beneath the surface,it's everything to do with rivalries amongst the rebel groups of Manipur.Just like the Vietnamese girls,most of the rebel groups are fleeing the competition.Instead of bringing creative ideas and geo-political insight into their jobs,they are willingly letting themselves drowned in the powerful torrents of meaningless and endless chatters enabled by Indian Constitution--some of them, in the powerful torrents of Western propaganda on Caliphate movement(my next to last post),which,incidentally,has a long history behind it.The immediate scene in Manipur,coming as it is in the backdrop of Sunni-Shia rift-focussed Modi's Iran visit and that of Obama's Vietnam visit in the same vein,propels us to deduct that the rivalries amongst the rebel groups have entered the same surreal world of bitterness as defined by the Sunni-Shia and Chinese-Vietnamese rifts.That said,it's only logical to again deduct that the cronies of Modi and Obama would start to drag the battleline inside the surreal world of rifts amongst the rebel groups of Manipur,just like they are doing to Sunni-shia and Chinese-Vietnamese rifts right at the moment.

The battleline and that constituent within the US society.

EgyptAir flight MS804 is fast becoming another Malaysian flight MH370.

Is it a tit for tat response to MH370?

Egyptian officials are saying that flight MS804 is most likely the work of terrorists.So,the question comes to my mind:If the EgyptAir flight MS804 is the works of terrorists,what about Malaysian flight MH370?

I distinctly remember the thrill of reading Ludlum's 'The Bourne Identity'.In the thriller,Jason Bourne was so meticulously groomed and manipulated to the extent of forcing him to forget his own identity.Bereft of his own identity and thus,emotionless,he became a true assasin and he was further manipulated to descend himself to the nether world of criminlas.

The CIA was the manipulator.Thier objective was to sound out the dreaded Jackal he had a rival in Jason Bourne.Their ultimate aim is to tempt the Jackal out of his hiding.

As soon as I read about EgyptAir flight MS804,Jason Bourne immediately came to my mind.Is Egyptair flight MS804 a means to tempt the perpetrators of the Malysian flight MH370 out in the open?

More interesting than this is the subject I discussed in my last post.By some Provincial coincidence,the evil Islamic State had unwittingly tempted the terrorists in our midst out of their hiding place.We had had a very brief glimmer of them in the lynching of a young man in Lilong Haoreibi.Then,they changed tact and quickly went inside their concealed lair.See how they so meticulously persuade the JAC formed to probe the lynching to abandon their work halfway in the track.This tells us in no uncertain terms that the terrorsits in our midst are powerful,well-entrenched and behind an effective camouflage.

In the larger perspective,we are facing a terrorist who is more powerful,much more well-entrnched and behind a even more effective camouglage.The evil work of the terrorist is all there in front of our own eyes--Tripura is finished and Assam is already in the terminal stage.

Give another 10 years to this terrorist and we will see all the States of Manipur,Nagaland,Mizoram or Meghalaya well in the cusp of the termminal stage,just like Assam.

This terrorist works so gently,slowly and unobtrusively but yet so effectively.This remakable profile of the terrorist enables it to escape the probing attention of the world.Our only hope is that with the emergence of the spectacular terrorist acts of the evil Islamic State,the world would start probing the slow and unobtrusive terrorist acts of obliterating the indigenous peoples of the NE region.

Let the emergence of evil Islamic State be able to tempt this more evil terrorist out in the open.

In this context,it would surprise no one in finding out that the indigenous peoples of the NE Region are trying to draw a battleline running across the body of the most visible tool of the terrorsit--the migrants.In my post entitled '18th Nov 2014--the day the batlleline was drawn publicly' I had described this battleline in detail.I'm quoting:

----------

As the two plane loads of PLA soldiers were landing in Pune,two significant things happened in Manipur--

1)There was an ambush on the Assam Rifles troopers,injuring 12 of them.

2)There was a public function protesting the rescinding of a law which forbids entry of outsiders in the state of Manipur(18th Nov 1950).During the course of this protest meet,the leaders also announced the temporary withdrawal of the ultimatum of the resumption agitation to re-instate the said law.The reason they gave for this withdrawal is to facilitate the unfolding of the Sa-ngai Festival!

What's most interesting is that if the announcement of the withdrawal of ultimatum carries any weight,the commotions outside my house this morning should not have happened.But it did happen,meaning there is an ongoing contradiction within the agitation.

This contradiction puts into sharp focus the two events--one in Imphal and the other,in Pune.In Pune,starting 18th of Nov,the two armies of India and China,went into an joint exercise,with the intent of bringing respect to each other.India wants China to respect it--not to challenge it.

Here,at Imphal,on the 18th of Nov,the main theme of the day was everything to do with groping in the dark inside the box erected by India--no question of challenging it.

So,the commotion outside my house morning,has everything to do to publicly show the two ways confronting us--one challenging India and the other,groping blindly inside the box erected by India.

On the 18th of Nov 2014,at Imphal,there was a publicly visible scene in which everybody sees who chooses which of the two ways.

In other words,on the 18th of Nov 2014,the battle line was so clearly drawn in full view of the public.

---------

Now,a select group of lawmakers of Manipur are tentatively scheduled to take the battleline to New Delhi on the 23rd of May 2016.

On the same day,the US President,Mr Barack Obama would be in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.

The very next day,the Indian President,Mr Pranab Mukherjee would be in Beijing,China.

In my post entitled 'The two presidents pined for Khongjom replay',there was a discussion trying to read the meaning of the two separate visits of Mr Barack Obama and Mr Pranab Mukherjee.We concluded that the meaning was clear cut--fighting the West is futile.

Now,the same two presidents,using their separate visits,are trying to send another subtle message to us.The message--the battleline also run across Vietnam and China and they are ready for it.

Beside this subtle message behind the visits of the two presidents,we have more graphic news of the battleline.

1) Mr Kiran Rijeju,the jubior home minister of India,flew in the Sukhoi 30 MK1,the frontline fighter jets of India.

2) Two Chinese fighter jets scrambled to intercept an American spy plane,which the US military officially describe as 'unsafe'.

3) Another set of two Chinese fighter jets buzzed the American destroyer which sailed within 12 nautical miles of China-claimed islands in the South China Sea.

4) There was a rare crash of the frontline US strategic nuclear bomber,B54 in the military base of Guam.

The last one is what's most interesting for us.In it,we see the work of the mysterious constituent within the US society.We talked about this constituent in my post entitled 'Two constituents--discovered at the same time,in two different continents '.I'm ending this post by quoting from that post.

-----------

My mind was stunned by this dramatic quetion--

Does the USA have a constituent within its society which is willing to fight for a system more akin to the Chinese form of governance?

Immediately,the imageries of the 'occupy Wall Street' agitations flashed back in my mind.Those agitations might have been the first manisfestation of this constituent within the US society.

But,now,why should it smeared itself with the taints ofchurch mayhems,which are clearly related with White Supremism?

The answer lies in the rise of the Hindu Spuremism in our part of the world.The constituent within the US wants to highligh to the world ever-louder war drums of the Hindu Supremism and Nazism.Why?It should be easy to note that it would face hard times to make itself grown up into something capable of tilting the scale in its favor,given that it has to work under constant surveilance of super-efficient agencies,like the FBI and NSA.So,it would need all the help from outside.

Would that help be forthcoming depends upon the outcome of the fight against Hindu Supremism and Nazism here in our part of the world.
