Do you know the proverb, “lie down with dogs, get up with fleas”?

Indian Maoists are quite active! Read up on the Naxalites!

1. Anil Ambani’s plants do receive gas from Mukesh’s gas fields… at the higher price. He wants the gas at a lower price for a plant that is not even up yet (the Dadri Plant)… i.e., it hasn’t even gotten the land acquisition approved. So Mukesh is hardly the one responsible for the rolling blackouts etc.

2. It was Anil’s lawyers who got an injunction against the supply of gas at the Bombay High Court to EVERYONE till Anil got his share. The injunction was only lifted when the Government intervened and convinced the Court that this would seriously fuck shit up.

3. The “agreed price” between the brothers was a scam to allot all the gas between themselves and monopolize the natural gas market in India. It fell through because they started fighting each other. The price Mukesh is asking is the price the Government has set once it stepped in.

4. The earlier price was gotten by Mukesh and Anil by conning the state run NTPC into accepting a gas supply contract at a ridiculously low price and then reneging on the contract when supplies were asked for. Also, NTPC is Anil’s direct competitor in the electricity generation business but it is an open secret that they have been in cahoots to try and get the gas from Mukesh at all costs.

5. Anil basically used his political clout to get land alloted in the State of Uttar Pradesh by getting the State Government to invoke emergency provisions and snatch fertile land out of the possession of farmers. Naturally this was challenged in court an the acquisition has been struck down and the land being returned.

It may also interest you to know that this little article has caused a bit of a rumpus in the state of Andhra Pradesh since it was claimed by a local channel that you have linked Mukesh Ambani to the death of a popular Chief Minister who died in a helicopter crash in September, 2009.

Well if you do lots of sinning then reluctance in sharing records is understandable

“O-M-I-GOD” mechanic who discovered possible sabotage attempt dies in train accident… (endless static) … bzzt”

May be a late cover-up? I mean why even report the death in the first place? If you don’t want to ask questions about it later.

The Indian media sucks (psst I’m a part of it!) and the zenith of sucktitude has been attained by the Hindi broadcast media that plays out like poorly scripted comedy.

From a distance of course.

We haven’t yet begun to experience the socioeconomic logjam of generic business-school dickheads who will be finding themselves without a big swinging commercial cock left for them to suck. Wait until all of these half-literate clerks are scrapping with decent people for every menial job, then you’ll see some real class war, maybe some guerrilla-style American Troubles.

I get a lot of joy out of contemplating the extent to which a guy like Larry Summers will be reviled by the students of the future. Hopefully I’ll be observing this from somewhere in the world where they’ve learned their lesson already about sanctifying the ambition of dullards.

As you yourself explained (http://exiledonline.com/larry-summers-a-suicidal-choice/2/), Larry is responsible for the deaths of millions of Eastern Europeans, probably putting him somewhere behind Stalin, Hitler, and Genghis Khan on the death scale.

The economic role a person chooses to play is not a merely a personal decision, and taking blood money from oligarchic parasites is not merely “palling around.” Vampires such as the Ambanis visciously exploit society without taking any responsibility, and they get away with it because scumbags like summers are willing to work as proxys in the political arena. This type of thing is completely fair game.

Their father was no saint either – clawed his way up with a feudal attitude, happily using hitmen to off his rivals. He’s portrayed nowadays as if he were a saint by the media. Money talks.

Let’s face it, these people were going to be fucked regardless, so why not get some swag out of it, if you can?

I blame Larry Summers for only negotiating a $187,000 package. Shit, given his global stature (however undeserved), he’s offering himself on a discount package. He should have asked for at least $300,000 or so. Bet he would have gotten it too.
