  • “La CIA a inventé Taliban, d’Al-Qaïda” Pak intelligence d’Offiicial je

    Juste quand je réjouissais de ce que les éléments saner au Pakistan aient prédominé sur les purs et durs dans la forme de jeunes gens montant contre le terrorisme en demandant la compréhension des Pakistanais (un Blogger a commencé cela s’il vous plaît a lu mon blog) et la riposte par une fille de 13 ans contre l’attaque de Taliban au Pakistan, j’ai trouvé par hasard un article écrit par un Officier Retraité de Bureau d’Intelligence, le Gouvernement du Pakistan.

    Aamir Mughal Research l’Officier d’Intelligence d’Analyste / l’Ancien Officier d’Intelligence de DIB, le Pakistan..

    Dans un article qu’il cite abondamment à partir de sources provenant des ÉTATS-UNIS , y compris nous des espions et nous documents comme le New York Times, le Washington Post et retrace l’histoire des Taliban à l’époque de Reagan et soutient le mollah Omar a effectivement été un combattant contre les Taliban.

    Après avoir traversé ce l’un devient confus.

    Est-ce vrai?

    Y a-t-il une ont plus d’informations à ce sujet?

    Histoire :
    Couvercle de Jimmy Carter
    Steve Coll termine son livre important sur l’Afghanistan – Ghost Wars : l’Histoire secrète de la CIA, l’Afghanistan et bin Laden,
    Depuis l’invasion soviétique au 10 septembre 2001-en citant le président afghan, M. Hamid Karzaï : “Quelle malchance un pays.” Les Américains pourraient trouver là un moyen pratique de faire abstraction de ce que leur gouvernement n’en Afghanistan entre 1979 et le présent, mais chance n’a rien à voir avec elle.

    BRUTALE, incompétent, opérations secrètes de la Central Intelligence Agency des ÉTATS-UNIS, souvent manipulés par les services de renseignement militaire du Pakistan et de l’Arabie saoudite, qui a causé la dévastation catastrophique de ce pauvre pays.
    Sur les éléments de preuve contenus dans Coll’s book Ghost Wars, ni les Américains, ni leurs victimes dans de nombreux musulmans et les pays du tiers monde ne connaîtra jamais la paix jusqu’à ce que l’Agence centrale de renseignement a été aboli.

    Il devrait être maintenant généralement accepté que l’invasion soviétique de l’Afghanistan à la veille de Noël 1979, a été délibérément provoquée par les ÉTATS-UNIS . Dans ses mémoires publiés en 1996, l’ancien directeur de la CIA Robert Gates a dit clairement que l’intelligence américaine services a commencé à l’aide la guérilla moudjahidin pas après l’invasion soviétique, mais six mois avant.
    Dans une interview deux ans plus tard avec Le Nouvel Observateur, le président Carter le conseiller à la sécurité nationale Zbigniew Brzezinski fièrement Gates a confirmé l’affirmation. ” Selon la version officielle de l’histoire,” a dit M. Brzezinski, “CIA aide aux moudjahidin a commencé au cours de l’année 1980, c’est-à-dire, après que l’armée soviétique a envahi l’Afghanistan.
    Mais la réalité, gardé secret jusqu’à maintenant, est complètement différente : le 3 juillet 1979 le président Carter a signé la première directive secrète pour aide aux opposants de la pro-régime soviétique à Kaboul. Et le même jour, j’ai écrit une note au président dans laquelle j’ai expliqué qu’à mon avis, cette aide pourrait conduire à une intervention militaire soviétique.”

    On lui a demandé s’il en aucune façon a déploré ces actions, Brzezinski a répondu : regrette quoi? L’opération secrète a été une excellente idée. Il a appelé les Russes dans le piège Afghan et vous voulez que je le regrette ?
    Le jour où les Soviétiques ont officiellement franchi la frontière, j’ai écrit au président Carter, en disant, en substance: “Nous avons maintenant l’occasion de donner à l’URSS sa guerre du Vietnam.”

    Le Nouvel Observateur : “Et vous n’en avez regrette d’avoir appuyé le fondamentalisme islamique, qui a donné des armes et des conseils aux futurs terroristes? “.

     

    Les motifs de la Maison Blanche et la CIA ont été façonnées par la guerre froide : la volonté de tuer autant de soldats soviétiques que possible et le désir de restaurer une certaine aura de machisme robuste ainsi que sa crédibilité que dirigeants américains craignaient qu’ils avaient perdu quand le Shah d’Iran a été renversé. La CIA n’avait aucune stratégie complexe de la guerre qu’il a déclenchée en Afghanistan.

     

    Howard Hart, l’agence représentant dans la capitale pakistanaise, Coll a dit qu’il comprenait ses ordres comme: “Vous êtes un jeune homme; voici votre sac d’argent, allez soulever l’enfer. Ne pas fuck-up, juste y aller et tuer soviétiques.” Ces ordres venaient des des plus étranges américain.
    William Casey, la CIA director à partir de janvier 1981 à janvier 1987, était un catholique Chevalier de Malte éduqué par les Jésuites.

    Quand les voisins sont venus le mollah Mohammed Omar, dans le printemps de l’année 1994, ils avaient une histoire qui était même choquant par la sombre normes d’Afghanistan’ s 18-année de guerre civile. Deux adolescentes du mollah du village de Singesar avaient été enlevés par l’un des gangs de moudjahidin, ou “guerriers sacrés,” qui contrôlait la plupart des campagnes afghanes.

    Les filles chefs avait été rasée, ils avaient été pris à un point de contrôle à l’extérieur du village et ils avaient été violées à plusieurs reprises.

    À l’époque, le mollah Omar a été un obscur figure, un ancien commandant de la guérilla contre occupation forces soviétiques qui étaient rentrés en dégoût à la terreur groupes moudjahidin ont infligées sur l’Afghanistan .

    Il était vivant en tant qu’étudiant ou talib, dans une boue de parois école religieuse que centrée sur l’apprentissage par coeur du Coran.
    Mais les filles sort déplacé lui d’agir. Rassemblement 30 anciens guérilleros, qui passa entre eux 16 fusils Kalachnikov, il a dirigé une attaque sur le checkpoint, libéré les filles et liée commandant du poste de contrôle par un noeud coulant sur le fourreau d’un vieux char soviétique.

    Comme ceux qui l’entourent et lui a crié “Dieu est grand!” Le mollah Omar a ordonné le réservoir baril soulevées et à gauche l’homme mort qui pend comme un sinistre avertissement.

    L’épisode Singesar est maintenant partie du folklore Afghan. À peine 30 mois après sa prise de carabine, le mollah Omar est le souverain suprême de la plus grande partie de l’Afghanistan.

    Le mollah, un heavyset âgé de 38 ans qui a perdu son oeil droit dans la guerre contre les Russes, est connue pour ses disciples comme Prince de tous les croyants. Il dirige un état islamique mouvement religieux, les Taliban, qui a conquis 20 d’Afghanistan’ s 32 provinces……………………………………………………………………….Suite..

    4. Paush Navaratri: Paush Navaratri is nine days dedicated to the nine forms of Shakti (Mother Goddess) in the month of Paush (December–January). Paush Navaratri is observed during the Paush Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of moon).

      Kolu-Golu
       
      Golu.jpg.
      Golu .
       
      During the festival of Navratri in South India, it is customary in the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, as well as in some Tamil communities within Sri Lanka, to display a “Kolu” (also Golu, or Bombe Habba or Bommai Kolu or Bommala Koluvu). This is an exhibition of various dolls and figurines in odd (usually 7, 9, or 11) numbered tiers (“padis”).
       

      When people come to a person’s house to see the Kolu, usually they are given prasad (the offering given to God that day), kumkum and a small bag of gifts. These are only given to girls and married women. In the evenings, a “kuthuvilakku” (small lamp) is lit, in the middle of a decorated “kolam”(Rangoli), before the Kolu and devotional hymns and shlokas are chanted. After performing the puja, the food items that have been prepared are offered to the goddesses.

       

      Kolu is adorned with dolls – predominantly with that of the gods and goddesses depicting mythology. It is a traditional practice to have at least some wooden dolls. There should also be a figurine of a boy and a girl together called ‘Marapacchi’ Bommai. Some photos taken during Kolu of Navratri 2007 & 2010 are displayed at a home situated at Nerul, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India & at a home in Walldorf, Germany respectively are shown below. On the 9th day (Saraswati Puja), special pujas are offered to Goddess Saraswati – the divine source of wisdom and enlightenment. Books and musical instruments are placed in the puja and worshipped as a source of knowledge. Also, tools are placed in the pooja as part of “Ayudha Pooja”. Vehicles are washed and decorated, and puja is performed for them.

      The 10th day, “Vijayadasami” – is the most auspicious day of all. It was the day on which evil was finally destroyed by good. It marks a new and prosperous beginning. New ventures started on this day are believed to flourish and bring prosperity. Kids often start tutoring on this day to have a head start in their education.

      In the evening of “Vijayadasami”, any one doll from the “Kolu” is symbolically put to sleep and the Kalasam is moved a bit towards North to mark the end of that year’s Navaratri Kolu. Prayers are offered to thank God for the successful completion of that year’s Kolu and with a hope of a successful one the next year. Then the Kolu is dismantled and packed up for the next year.

  • Pithru Tharpanam Text, Mantras, Rite of Hindus

    I have posted blogs on the importance of performing Tarpana ((Oblation to Ancestors)- Mahalaya Amavasya.

    Some more posts are on Sandhya Vandhana in two parts and  one audio.

    The Tharpana Mantras with basic instructions are given below.

    Audio Follows.

    Post on ‘Sankalpa’, Sanskrit names for performance of Daily Routines including

    SandhyaVandana,Months,Rtus,Pakshas,Manvantaras,Nakshatras follow-with Tamil Equivalents.

    I will post for Rik , Sama Veda and Shukla Yajur Veda.

    In performance of Tharpana, some wear marks on the forehead and some not.

    It is better to follow what has been followed at your homes.

    As I mentioned in another blog, Tharpana ,Sraddha are to be performed only after Noon,after performing Madyanhika and Brahma Yagnam.

    As a matter of fact Brahma Yagnam is to be performed Daily

    .

    It is sanctioned in the Sastras that the Sraddha or commitment to performing these Duties are important and not throwing away money to ease Conscience.

    Food is to be cooked at Home by the wife/Daughter and not by caterers or getting some one to cook at Home.

    It is for your parents.

    Physical contribution is necessary.

    It is also stated that The Brahmanas who come to Srardha are to be well versed in The Vedas and they are to be fed.

    Now a days one does not get them and even if one gets them they do not know The Vedas to be called a purohits(Please read my blog on Acharya,Guru and Purohita).

    In the absence of a suitable and qualified Brahmana, I suggest one feed a really needy, caste does not matter, but one should be of good habit, not a Drunkard,way ward and generally uncouth.

    They can be given new clothes which they can use, not necessarily Dhoti and Angavastram.

    The same can be followed during the Srardha for Women , by giving Sari or chidudhar as they prefer.

    I am aware those who call them Panditas objecting to this.

    But this is what I have been doing for the past 30 years, criticisms notwithstanding.

    Unfortunately for them I read the Sastra texts.
