Australian coal prospects dim as Modi turns spotlight on solar

India’s newly elected Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has kicked off his first term in office with a promise that every home in the power-starved nation will be able to run at least one light bulb by 2019 – powered by solar.

“We look upon solar as having the potential to completely transform the way we look at the energy space,” said Narendra Taneja, head of energy in Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, which come to power last Friday (May 16) in the biggest electoral win in three decades.

Modi’s proposed “saffron revolution” is a political promise that holds a lot of appeal, as well as massive economic opportunity. More than 300 million people in India are estimated to be existing off the electricity grid, with national demand for power anticipated to double to 2020. According to the World Bank, blackouts reduce the country’s GDP by 1.5 per cent annually. In 2012, a blackout plunged 700 million into darkness for two days.

Certainly the news has been welcomed by India’s burgeoning clean energy industry – not to mention the LED lighting industry – especially considering Modi has considerable form in the renewables space, and particularly with solar. It is also a blow to the coal industry which presumed it was the only power source capable of delivering electricity, despite India’s notorious infrastructure problems.

In his previous role as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Modi pioneered India’s first incentives for large-scale solar power in 2009, fostering the creation of over 900MW of solar capacity – more than a third of the total capacity in the entire country. Wind power is also on the rise in the central western state.

Modi also oversaw Gujarat’s Narmada canal project — a first of its kind for India, in which SunEdison installed a solar array on top of the canal – and initiated a ‘rent-your-roof’ program, where households could lease their rooftops to companies like SunEdison for solar installations.

Now, as Prime Minister, growing renewable energy generation will remain one of Modi’s top priorities, according to BJP’s Taneja, especially solar, with its potential to create jobs and supply millions of households not connected to the grid, he told Bloomberg.

For coal exporting nations like Australia, however – who have been forging ahead with the development of new mega mines and infrastructure in the belief that coal is the only solution to India’s booming energy needs – this news will not be welcome.

As far back as mid-2012, signs were already emerging that a rebirth in the development Australian coal infrastructure was masking huge problems in the Indian energy market, such as poor supply and pipeline infrastructure and the increasingly unviable cost of coal imports.

And as recently as January, leading investment bank HSBC warned that the market value of the coal assets owned by Australia’s biggest mining groups could be slashed by nearly half – or more than $US20 billion – due to constraints of the global “carbon budget;” a concept HSBC says is gaining traction, given the climate science, and the implementation of pollution control policies in the US and China.

A month earlier, in December, the International Energy Agency trimmed its five-year forecast of global coal use, warning that environmental constraints, financing issues, and the current cost of coal exports raised “concerns about the economic feasibility of projects in the Galilee Basin.”

Now, India’s ambitious new five-year solar lighting goal further subtracts from the much diminished future coal equation.

As BJP”s Taneja has noted, the success of the Modi’s “saffron revolution” will depend on the cooperation of state-level administrations, who share control over the power industry with the central government. But with cooperation, the government expects solar panels could allow every home to have enough power to run two bulbs, a solar cooker and a television.

    Only idiots would not have seen this coming
    Undeveloped transmission infrastructure makes big coal too expensive and too dirty as well.

    Grim outlook for the gas side in Australia too, now that China is planning in obtaining its gas from Russia at 2/3 the price. The prospect of much stranded assets is becoming more evident than ever. With a soon-to collapse FF sector and heavviiy weakend renewable sector, the future doesn’t look too promising and the Abbott government thinks it has a budget problem now, just wait till all these workers become unemployed.

      Most of Australia’s gas exports are sent not to mainland China but to Japan, with some going to Taiwan and South Korea. More of our coal exports are still going to the three countries mentioned than to mainland China too.

    the trouble with this narrative is that it jars with the fact Modi and Gautam Adani – proponent of one of the Galilee Basin mega mines – are v. tight. So much so that Adani’s companies have soared 250% in recent weeks in anticipation of a Modi win, which markets see as being good for the former’s business interests.

    A succinct primer:

      and the beauty of this narrative is that Adani needs someone else to invest several billion dollars in associated infrastructure, with a 20 year time horizon. So the financiers of this proposal look at India, see that the government reckons the cheapest and quickest way to electrify the place is through solar, sees that utility scale solar is as cheap as coal, looks at the Indian rail and port infrastructure, and thinks to him/herself “hmmmmm, what is my fiduciary duty here.”

        Fingers crossed, Giles. Indian politics makes ICAC look like a sunday school parable of virtue so I’m reserving judgement. Solar is great as a distributed generation but they will also have increasing industrial demands, especially if Modi gets industrials doubling outputs which is what his brand of growth is all about I gather (don’t claim to know much about him).

        thanks for replying Giles – an excellent site here. I agree that in a world of transparent price signals, rational decision making and an absence of back-scratching, what you propose should well occur. The picture just looks a little muddier than that – the Qld Premier less than an hour ago:

        “I think the election of Mr Modi is incredibly good news for Queensland and Australia,” Mr Newman said.
        “…his election almost locks in the prospect of the massive Galilee coal projects occurring and the other great resources projects and investment from India that flow on the back of that important election result.”

          Wishful thinking from Newman, recent TV broadcastings highlighting the loss coal is incurring is making people think maybe it’s time to move away from this FF, and Newman is getting nervous about all those royalties that could disapear along with a move away from coal.

    This is a small progressive step for India, but we would have to get Japan and China off our coal as well.

      Much of the coal export push in Australia has been with the expectation that India will end up being the largest customer.

    It would be absolutely fascinating to see how much Australian money was pumped into particular election areas in India and who it’s connected to here.

    Any State or Federal Govt that OK public money into supporting coal export expansion should be threatened with a future Royal Commission into their actions.

    It is no longer possible to arrive at defensible spending decisions for such projects. The explanation is then corruption. We are seeing it.

    NOT THE VOTERS, CIA DETERMINES WHO GETS HOW MANY VOTES, USING MICROWAVE SIGNALS FROM SATELLITES

    I had posted a comment (reproduced below) using the Disqus commenting tool on a story titled ‘Making of the Modi Mythology’ on abpliveDOTin . At 1:33 am Toronto time, someone using the handle “MichaelHayden” (this is the name of the former CIA Director I have referred to in the comment) posted the following response ( http://www.abplive.in/india/2014/05/14/article313015.ece/Making-Of-The-Modi-Mythology#comment-1386501851 ) to my comment:-

    “Dear Mr. Satish Chandra,

    We continue to be impressed with your abilities, and your analysis of the Indian election results.

    Please do understand that we at the CIA, and our sister agency RAW in New Delhi are your friends. We are interested in spreading our shared ideals of free market capitalism and democracy throughout South Asia and the world. USA is a friend of India. We deeply regret your continued hostility towards RAW.

    We would still like to use your abilities for our common good, as a external consultant. Of course we will provide adequate consultancy fees ranging from US$ 25,000 up to a maximum of US$ 500,000 per week. Additionally, we will provide travel (first class), luxury hotel accommodation and reimburse your daily expenses at Arlington, VA, New Delhi or other undisclosed foreign locations. We will provide you with a secret alias, passport and diplomat visa arrangements for assignments in other countries or when required. We will also provide you with a CIA trained attractive female operative during foreign assignments.

    Awaiting your positive response to our offer.

    Clicking on the handle “MichaelHayden” showed that only one comment had been made under this account which was apparently created to post the above response, which I have saved on my computer, to my comment reproduced below. A couple hours after he posted his first comment saw that “MichaelHayden had posted the same response to my comments on six other stories, in IndiaDOTcom and abpliveDOTin . A few more hours later found that MichaelHayden’s comments now totaled 14, including his responses to some Indians who responded to my comment. His comments carry the CIA logo and the following: “I (Michael Vincent Hayden, born March 17, 1945) am a retired United States Air Force four-star general and former Director of CIA Headquarters, Langley, Virginia – http://www. …”.

    Mr. Chandra has radical ideas about printing large amounts of your currency (Indian Rupee) to enable the GDP growth of your great nation shoot up to over 30% per annum.

    fucking scum bag. Atleast do not use two ids altogether. You are a fukig noob. Now thier is a dick in your ass as the results have been declared. Micheal hayden cia. Fucking shit head satish chndra got 2 accounts with different profile . hhaha. Fck your mother the retard from Cia.

    The above post may be an attempt by the CIA to have a torrent of abuse directed at Michael Hayden because of the “torrent of abuse” that RAW routinely directs at me that I have referred to.

    RAW has continued to post a torrent of abuse on what I say; for example I posted the following comment on a defence blog, LivefistdefenceDOTcom, on a story titled “Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Is India’s Next Army Chief” :-

    “It is a matter of deep concern that almost all, if not all, senior officers of the Indian army have been ‘educated’ in United States defence establishments which allows their loyalties to be compromised. In the case of Dalbir Singh Suhag there is an additional factor. I have said Sikhs are traitors to India and played a major role in the British killing over 10 million Indians in just the ten years after 1857 — their primary loyalty is to the Anglo-Americans, not India: ‘Source of Manmohan Singh‘s ‘Deep Love‘ for Bush‘ : SourceOfManmohanSinghsDeepLoveForBushDOTblogspotDOTcom — and that is why no Sikh was made army chief until recently when J. J. Singh and Bikram Singh — who recently returned after getting a military medal from the Americans without getting the requisite permission from the Indian government — were made army chiefs in quick succession thanks to a Sikh traitor as prime minister given this post by a white Christian woman and now another Sikh, Dalbir Singh Suhag, has been made army chief; the head of India’s nuclear forces is already a Sikh. The Defence Minister is a Christian as was his predecessor and the previous head of India’s nuclear forces was a Christian — all of them by definition loyal to the Anglo-Americans. Overt colonial rule over India is almost complete; Indians are too stupid and lethargic to do anything about it. My concern here is not religion (Sikhism is a branch of Hinduism like Buddhism and Jainism) but national security because of their being loyal to foreign enemies (possibly because both Sikhs and Christians are low-caste Hindu converts). This is also the reason India’s nuclear forces have so far failed to obey me (below) to trigger India’s nuclear warheads emplaced in Washington and New York with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation, which will immediately make India the supreme military and economic power in the world.

    In a letter dated July 27, 1982 to Indira Gandhi as prime minister I referred to an act, by American Jews, that was “the equivalent of an annihilatory nuclear first strike on India”. In her reply dated July 29, 1982 she wrote “Dear Mr. Chandra, I have received your letter dated July 27, 1982 and am passing it on to my Principal Secretary to deal with it. Sincerely, Indira Gandhi”. In December, 1982 I wrote to her “There was sudden, terminal, overwhelming violence against me during a seminar at Harvard University and rather similar occurrences earlier… India can expect sudden, annihilatory violence … with nuclear weapons … against its population … unless it can mount a decisively superior force to stop it”. Following my advice, India’s strategic program, including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme and the Centre for Advanced Technology, was started to give India victory in a nuclear war with the United States and because of my influence on her, Indira Gandhi as prime minister was assassinated by CIA-RAW and later when Rajiv Gandhi realized the truth of what I had written to her after the American invasion of Iraq which was the first Gulf War, he was also assassinated by CIA-RAW. In the past few years, I have had India’s nuclear forces emplace nuclear warheads in Washington, New York and other U.S. cities and India is now in a position to destroy the United States without being destroyed. In fact, India is in a position now to destroy the United States without itself suffering a single casualty by triggering its nuclear warheads emplaced in Washington and New York with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation.

    This is what I said when asked if India is just a pawn. “Yes, it is a pawn, a slave, a society suffering from mass-psychosis. Despite the recent revelations about M. K. Gandhi being a homosexual who reveled in his “slavery with a vengeance” to the white man, who engaged in a fake ‘freedom struggle” with the British managed by the Intelligence Bureau, the entire Indian government went to his memorial on his death anniversary this January 30, 2012 to pay tribute.

      —–START OF MY COMMENT ON abpliveDOTin ——

      A couple days ago I posted a comment on outlookindiaDOTcom. A couple hours later I found that there were 4 ‘Dislikes’ on my comment and 0 ‘Likes’. A few minutes later, I found that the number of ‘Dislikes’ had been reduced from 4 to 3; the number of ‘Likes’ was still 0. CIA-RAW, which has kept me under 24-hour surveillance with the U.S. National Security Agency satellites for the past 37 years (see below) had done this with microwave signals from satellites; ordinary users can INCREASE the number of ‘Dislikes’ by pressing the ‘Dislike’ button but there is no way they can DECREASE the number of ‘Dislikes’. CIA-RAW routinely controls the number of hit-counts on my blogs, to take another example and can and does put false numbers, usually a small fraction of the actual number, in the hit counters. Note that falsification of vote counts in Electronic Voting Machines does not require the machines to be defective or physically tampered with; it is done electronically via microwave signals from satellites which leave no trace. CIA-RAW can do a lot more than change vote counts with microwave signals from satellites; they can alter the contents of any webpage at will but they can do a lot more than that also; just as microwaves make cell phones do whatever they do, CIA-RAW can use microwave signals from the U.S. National Security Agency satellites to make any digital equipment do whatever it wants; see IndianAirForcePilotsMurderDOTblogspotDOTcom .

      On August 9, 2008, CIA Director Michael Hayden and K. Subrahmanyam came on line and offered to transfer one crore rupees into my bank account within 48 hours if I agreed to cooperate with them. This was coupled with various kinds of threats and abuse. Several dozen of the most abusive comments were deleted by them before I saved the comments on my computer but the offer to transfer one crore rupees into my bank account can be seen at ‘Offer to me by CIA Director and K.

I have said Sikhs are traitors to India and played a major role in the British killing over 10 million Indians in just the ten years after 1857 — their primary loyalty is to the Anglo-Americans, not India: ‘Source of Manmohan Singh‘s ‘Deep Love‘ for Bush‘ : SourceOfManmohanSinghsDeepLoveForBushDOTblogspotDOTcom — and that is why no Sikh was made army chief until recently when J. J. Singh and Bikram Singh — who just returned after getting a military medal from the Americans without getting the requisite permission from the Indian government — were made army chiefs in quick succession thanks to a Sikh traitor as prime minister given this post by a white Christian woman and now another Sikh, Dalbir Singh Suhag, is due to be made army chief; the head of India’s nuclear forces is already a Sikh. The Defence Minister is a Christian as was his predecessor and the previous head of India’s nuclear forces was a Christian — all of them by definition loyal to the Anglo-Americans. Overt colonial rule over India is almost complete; Indians are too stupid and lethargic to do anything about it. My concern here is not religion (Sikhism is a branch of Hinduism like Buddhism and Jainism) but national security because of their being loyal to foreign enemies (possibly because both Sikhs and Christians are low-caste Hindu converts). This is also the reason India’s nuclear forces have so far failed to obey me to trigger India’s nuclear warheads emplaced in Washington and New York with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation, which will immediately make India the supreme military and economic power in the world.

      WARNING: DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY THE TORRENT OF ABUSE RAW ROUTINELY POSTS ON WHAT I SAY. THESE FILTHY CRIMINALS WORK FOR THE CIA — RAW IS A BRANCH OF THE CIA AS I HAVE DESCRIBED IN WhatYouShouldKnowAboutRAWDOTblogspotDOTcom — AND DO ALL THEY CAN TO INJURE INDIA. THEY CAN DO THE MOST DAMAGE TO INDIA BY INJURING SATISH CHANDRA WHOSE TOE NAIL CLIPPINGS ARE WORTH MORE TO INDIA AND THE WORLD THAN THE REST OF THE BILLION-PLUS INDIANS COMBINED.

      WARNING: CIA-RAW ARE CONSTANTLY COMMITTING VARIOUS KINDS OF MISCHIEF SUCH AS DELETING SOME PARTS OF THE COMMENT CONTAINING CRUCIAL INFORMATION, MOVING PARTS OUT OF SEQUENCE TO COVER UP CRUCIAL INFORMATION, REPLACING THE TEXT OF, SAY, PART 3 IN MY WORD-PROCESSOR DOCUMENTS WITH THE TEXT OF PART 2 SO THAT PART 2 APPEARS TWICE IN THE COMMENT AND PART 3 NOT EVEN ONCE, AS WELL AS DELETING MOST OR ALL PARTS OF THE COMMENT WHOLESALE MANY TIMES A DAY. NOTE THAT EDITORIAL STAFF OF A MAGAZINE CANNOT CHANGE THE CONTENT OF WORD-PROCESSOR DOCUMENTS IN MY COMPUTER BUT CIA-RAW CAN OPERATE MY COMPUTER BY MICROWAVE SIGNALS FROM SATELLITES AS THEY CAN OPERATE ANY DIGITAL EQUIPMENT. THEY ALSO SEND OPERATIVES TO SNEAK INTO MY RESIDENCE TO STEAL VALUABLE DOCUMENTS, ETC. The full text of the comment can be found at IndiasLegitimateRulerSatishChandraDOTblogspotDOTcom .

      Indians as a rule are inferior Indian niggers unfit to talk about strategic matters, especially if it involves the White Master in any way, which it always does. That is why in his ‘Mein Kampf’ Adolf Hitler said “As for India, I would rather see India under the British than under any one else”. It is not just that a handful of the British from half way around the world ruled India for centuries; a lot of other people from various countries did that for a thousand years before that.

      A modern day Babar will start each day by killing a million Indians before breakfast every morning, though some think three million will be better (this number can be herded into fairly small extermination circles and then a neutron bomb exploded over them).

      I am an Indian, but as far above the other Indians as they may be above cockroaches.

      I am India’s expert in strategic defence, the father of India’s strategic program including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program and the world’s greatest scientist (my biography can be found in Marquis’ Who’s Who in the World, 2014 and earlier editions).

      (April 19-21 ‘14) I had posted the following comment on outlookindiaDOTcom editor Vinod Mehta’s column ‘Delhi Diary’ last night. This morning I found it had disappeared. I reposted it. Less than an hour later I found it had disappeared again. As I prepared to post it again, my 59 minutes old comment appeared at the top, above about a 2-minute old comment by someone else, restored by CIA-RAW because of my reference in the comment to being suppressed on orders of the CIA. (In comments via the Facebook commenting tool, the most recent comment appears on top). This is a small example of hundreds of thousands of acts — large and small — of suppressing me that CIA-RAW have committed over the past 37 years. No matter which party or individual forms the government, it is the CIA which is India’s permanent ruler which all parties, government officials and Indian media obey; see my ‘What You Should Know About RAW’ (WhatYouShouldKnowAboutRAWDOTblogspotDOTcom ) and ‘India‘s Traitor Government and Media‘ (IndiasTraitorGovtAndMediaDOTblogspotDOTcom). The officials include not just civilian officials such as the prime minister and cabinet members such as Kapil Sibal but India’s service chiefs such as the current army chief Bikram Singh and recently retired air force chief N. A. K. Browne who literally sits at CIA-supplied terminals to make Indian Air Force aircraft crash using microwave signals from U.S. satellites and he can continue to do so sitting in the Indian embassy in Finland (see ‘Indian Air Force Pilots’ Murder’ : IndianAirForcePilotsMurderDOTblogspotDOTcom ). Nehru admitted to U.S. ambassador Galbraith that he was a lifelong British agent, Indira and Rajiv worked for the CIA as I know first hand from their direct participation in the CIA’s crimes against me and so do all Indian politicians.

      (April 25 ‘14) SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY WAS BROUGHT TO HARVARD TO PROVIDE COVER FOR THE CIA’S CRIMES AGAINST ME :

      “”India’s greatest scientist and greatest living Indian publicly tortured in Harvard seminar, systematically and totally starved for up to 3 weeks at a time, made semi-starved and homeless and even blind for years, kept under 24-hour audio and video surveillance as well as surveillance of [and interference with] communications and electrical typewriter and computer use, document creation and photocopying, etc., by satellite for more than past 3 decades, systematically harassed and in poverty and neutralised and robbed of his work at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, robbed of crores in his money and property in India by C.I.A.-RAW, forced back into exile in the U.S., all with full cooperation and participation of India’s RAW and India’s C.I.A.-RAW-controlled prime ministers, politicians and media — to keep India poor, weak and enslaved” and how this means the nuclear destruction of New Delhi and then the coast-to-coast destruction of the U.S.; see my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ which can be found by a Yahoo/Google search with the title; my biography can be found in Marquis’ Who’s Who in the World, 2014 and earlier editions.” In a news photo I counted at least a dozen media microphones thrust into the face of Swamy in the fraction of the scene visible in the photo for this story about his working for the CIA; compare that to the amount of media coverage of Satish Chandra, about a trillion times more significant than Swamy as a scientist and in his work for India and the world, not to mention a trillion times more handsome — all because Swamy is CIA-sponsored and I am CIA-suppressed for the past 37 years. It is not just Swamy, Indian media also work for the CIA; see ‘India’s Traitor Government and Media’ : IndiasTraitorGovtAndMediaDOTblogspotDOTcom , IndiasLegitimateRulerSatishChandraDOTblogspotDOTcom

      (April 27-28 ‘14) I have described how CIA-RAW have tried to have me run over while walking on sidewalks or crossing streets at intersections, assaulted by men in cars or bicycles, etc. At about 5:45 PM Toronto time as I walked eastward on the south side of Danforth Avenue, two white men, perhaps in their 30s or 40s, came from the opposite direction. One of them suddenly veered toward me. To avoid a collision, I stepped aside. He kept walking then called out behind him “Relax. Crossing the street”. When about 50 feet past me, both of them crossed diagonally to the other side and kept walking. There was no pedestrian crosswalk there and nothing to cross the street for and no other people nearby. People ask why doesn’t the CIA simply kill you. It is a CIA project to steal my work — just my proposal about money they have stolen is worth hundreds of trillions of dollars in the short run and a lot more in the long run; see ’How India’s Economy Can Grow 30% Per Year Or More : How IndiasEconomyCanGrowDOTblogspotDOTcom — while inflicting as much suffering and degradation on me as possible. With 24-hour audio, video and communications surveillance of all kind by satellite, stealing my work while starving me, they like it better than killing me. If they do kill me, they would like to make it appear as an accident or street crime rather than done by the CIA as part of a 37-years long crime unprecedented in human history and beyond description on which the CIA has been spending hundreds of millions of dollars per year for 37 years. India’s RAW participates, using CIA-supplied terminals, in all aspects of this crime including surveillance and attempts to kill me and make it look like a street crime. Former Union minister Mani Shankar Aiyar and current Union Minister Kapil Sibal personally participate in these crimes via these terminals as I have said. On April 26 ‘14 I found that CIA-RAW had created an account using my photograph with user name “Kaal 123” on Pakistan Defence Forum (I once had an account with user name “Kaal” or “Kaal 2009” on Pakistan Defence Forum but it has been banned for years) and posting material from my blogs in my name but including a sentence — ‘If you encounter a Tamil and a snake, kill the Tamil first’ — which I have never uttered in writing or otherwise; CIA-RAW had done this hoping I will not post my comments in the general Indian media; when I did not oblige, it banned this account it had just created. Several years ago, RAW made a call to my home phone and one of them asked his colleague “Kya Kar Raha Hai? (What is he doing?) and (again in Hindi) whether I had taken my (evening) walk, unaware that I could hear him.

      (October 5, 2008) SOURCE OF MANMOHAN SINGH’S ‘DEEP LOVE’ FOR BUSH

      Indian politicians have condemned Manmohan Singh’s telling Bush that the people of India “deeply love” him. They should see the source of Indians’ love for the white man as I explained many months ago (see my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ ) :-

      “There is a basic difference between the treason of Indira, Rajiv and Vajpayee and that of Manmohan Singh. The holocaust after 1857 in which the British killed over ten million Indians in just the first decade in just Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Bihar to terrorize and subdue them was in large part committed with the help of Sikhs. This terrorization and subduing continued right up to the end of direct British rule, exemplified by the Sikh soldier, riding in a jeep with the British viceroy, cutting down with his submachine gun any Indian, man, woman or child, that came in view on either side of the road. The role of the Sikhs, who were originally founded to save India from foreign invaders — the invaders were then Muslims — reversed from 1857 on and they became a principal instrument of the British terrorization and subjugation of India. The Sikhs know how successful this terrorization and subjugation was — it is this terrorization and subjugation because of which Indians today dare not even mention nuclear supremacy for India much less demand it — and their role in it determines their attitude toward whites and toward Indians. This is why Manmohan Singh considers himself answerable to no one except Bush and the white man as he imposes the terrorization and subjugation of the nuclear deal on India, makes no attempt to hide his loyalty to the white man and shows open contempt for Indians…. Like Manmohan Singh and others praising British rule over India (he did that when receiving an honorary doctorate from Cambridge University; he was prime minister of India at the time), there are many Indians who praise American rule over India. Like the many Indians loyal to Queen Victoria, there are many Indians loyal to the white woman illegitimately living in the prime ministerial residence, illegitimately flying in the Air Force’s special jets and giving orders to destroy India [she was treated as the empress of India even before she held any party or government post and all visiting heads of state were required to call on her at her residence; this was so even during BJP governments at the Center]. … In war, officers are under orders to execute on the spot any soldiers who are too terrorized to fight or obey orders to advance on enemy positions. … The terrorization and subjugation Indians have undergone at the hands of the British is responsible for Indians refusing to even mention, much less demand, nuclear supremacy over the United States. It is necessary to execute — machine gun and bulldoze into trenches — at least a few thousand such Indians, who are in key positions — such as RAW employees, politicians and media people — to obstruct India’s nuclear supremacy (they may be terrorized or bought up or both though being bought up is greatly facilitated by being terrorized; the terror, when long standing, is usually repressed meaning unconscious and being subjugated often involves both terror and carrot but terror is the foundation of the treason of RAW employees and people such as Vajpayee and Mani Shankar Aiyar though all they may feel is love and loyalty for the white man; terror facilitates such love [emphasis added]; a former head of RAW, Vikram Sood, in a column in Hindustan Times, repeatedly quoted the white/Christian head of the missionary school he attended as the fount of all wisdom on various issues and referred to Indians as worshippers of snakes and monkeys on a Times of India blog — I have referred in a letter below to RAW arranging for practitioners of an Indian discipline, whose understanding of gravity and inertia I called superior to that of Albert Einstein, to be physically attacked and driven away in Noida and Madhya Pradesh on the C.I.A.’s orders — but such behavior of RAW employees, the behavior of desi people like Laloo Yadav and even thoroughly devout and traditional Indians and of all Indians in everyone’s household, neighbourhood and community is profoundly determined by the terrorization and subjugation the British inflicted on Indians and this terrorization and subjugation is responsible for the fact that no Indian dares to even mention, much less demand, nuclear supremacy for India …), for India’s nuclear supremacy to go forward.”

      Since I wrote the above, I have said that, instead of being machine-gunned and bulldozed into trenches, Indians in a position to obstruct India’s nuclear supremacy over the most powerful white country will be destroyed with the nuclear destruction of New Delhi (see my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ ).

        ——–START OF ‘WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RAW’ ——-

        (August 26, 2008) WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RAW

        I have written (for example in my article titled ‘India’s Technological and Economic Emancipation’ in my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ : nuclearsupremacyforindiaoverusDOTblogspotDOTcom ) about the continued control of Indian intelligence agencies by British and later American intelligence agencies after 1947. India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) was split off from the Intelligence Bureau which had continued after 1947 to be loyal to the British. Later the Americans supplanted the British and RAW functions as a branch of the CIA against India. As part of this relationship, CIA-RAW exercises extensive control over the Indian media and, among its various activities, engages in sabotage of indigenous research and development to keep India dependent on other countries for defence and other equipment (the nuclear deal is just another CIA-RAW operation of that kind, though of a scope and with consequences far graver than any such operation till now).

        An example of this is a Bharat-Rakshak discussion thread about a black box installed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in the indigenously developed Arjun tank that documented the sabotage of its engines during trials by the Army; such sabotage has been the basis of the Army’s rejection, on RAW’s prompting, of the Arjun tank in favour of imports (as I said in the above article, India‘s Army is the collaborator Army that helped the British rule India and, even after Independence, all its regiments and units have retained their former identities and regularly celebrate the anniversaries of their founding by the British). A CIA-RAW operative, who serves as a moderator on Bharat-Rakshak and controls the forum, recently locked away this discussion thread so that numerous posts that had appeared documenting the sabotage of the Arjun tank were covered up. The major metropolitan newspapers, on most of which CIA-RAW exercises extensive control, have made no mention of the black box — which was like the flight data recorder in aircraft — installed by DRDO in Arjun tanks and the shocking findings about the sabotage even though a report on this was provided to them by the Indo Asian News Service (IANS).

        There is across the board sabotage by various means by CIA-RAW to keep India down technologically, economically and militarily. RAW’s grip over India is comparable to the old KGB’s grip over the Soviet Union, with the difference that whereas the KGB worked for the good of the Soviet Union, except toward the end, RAW has always worked for its imperialist paymasters. The role of politicians in governing India is insignificant compared to that of CIA-RAW but RAW has no place in the public’s consciousness or in discussions of public affairs in India.

        An important point about the sabotage of Arjun is that people on the Arjun discussion thread on Bharat-Rakshak were aghast at the Army’s behavior and calling for Army brass being tried for treason, etc. but it will be a mistake to stop with the Army; it is RAW which is behind such sabotage not just of Arjun but of India’s interests, technological, economic and other, in a lot of areas. RAW has operatives in the Army at various levels but it is necessary to go to the root of the problem. RAW has to be destroyed and I have suggested that a brand new external intelligence agency be formed with the help of military intelligence (RAW is supposed to be India’s external intelligence agency but at least 90% of its activities are within India, against India).

        The destruction of RAW does not mean simply disbanding the agency and letting its employees continue their service to the CIA through other organisations, old or new, or in other roles. It is a mammoth agency with just the number of joint secretaries in the hundreds. It is India’s real ‘government’ and the politicians and civil servants largely obey its dictates. It puts the words in the mouths of cabinet ministers, etc., and determines most policies that are, erroneously, attributed to them. Any one, even a prime minister, whom CIA-RAW considers inconvenient is eliminated, if necessary by death, as I have said regarding the deaths of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and, later, Rajiv Gandhi in my article titled ‘How India‘s economy can grow 30% per year‘ in my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over US’ on blogspot ( nuclearsupremacyforindiaoverusDOTblogspotDOTcom )which can be found by doing a Google search with the title.

        Over the past many years, I have shown how almost all terrorist incidents in India since 1983 have been carried out by outfits controlled by the CIA either directly or through intelligence agencies in the region, including India’s RAW. The Jain Commision of Inquiry, which went into Rajiv Gandhi’s death, acknowledged that the LTTE, which carried out his assassination, was created and controlled by RAW. It was an open secret that MQM, in Pakistan’s Sindh province, when it was known as a terrorist organization, was a creation of RAW. But the same is true of many terrorist outfits that operate in India.

        Another example of RAW’s multifarious activities, that I have described in press releases, articles and letters to the press since 1987, is its spreading heroin addiction and AIDS first in India’s Northeast then elsewhere to provide the United States with a population to use as guinea pigs for AIDS vaccine development, after the CIA was assigned the task of roping in a population for this purpose. I have described how both Rajiv Gandhi (after being blackmailed with threats of exposure of the Bofors and HDW kickbacks by Swedish and German media at the CIA‘s instigation) and Vajpayee cooperated in this. But terrorism, etc., are the least of its activities; I mentioned those only because the existence of terrorism is publicly known. Its sabotage of India’s research and development activities, of which the sabotage of the Arjun tank is just one example, is among the deadliest of its activities.

        The nuclear deal and its various aspects — replacing indigenous production of uranium and reactors with imports, the capping, rollback and elimination of India’s nuclear weapons program, media control and buying up politicians, scientists, etc. for this purpose — is just the largest and deadliest of such activities, leaving out the 24-hour satellite surveillance and all the crimes, at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year for the past 31 years, against India’s greatest scientist, described in my article titled ‘How India‘s economy can grow 30% per year‘. The point is that all the tens of thousands of RAW employees are guilty of the gravest treason and deserve the death penalty. So do all those — politicians, civil servants and others — who are willing collaborators of CIA-RAW.

          Dear Mr. Satish Chandra,

          This is Michael Hayden yet again. In spite of retiring from the Central Intelligence Agency, I do remain active in covert operations.

          My offer to you is valid. Do note that it is very rarely, if ever, that the CIA actively tries to recruit a civilian. Moreover as far as my memory goes, I have yet to see a package as attractive as yours being offered to a civilian.

          I sincerely wish that you would accept our offer.

          Sincerely,

          Michael Hayden
          Central Intelligence Agency

      Of course, we would much prefer you over Mr. Narendra Modi. Had you accepted our original offer in 2008, by now we certainly would have picked you as the Prime Minister of India.

      If you respond in time, we can still make you Finance Minister in Mr. Modi’s cabinet.

    The chart to the right reflects the average cost per kilowatt hour from 2001 to 2011. New Jersey residents are currently paying over 19 cents per KWH between delivery and supply charges. Sun Up Zero Down can actually lower your cost per kilowatt by 30-40%. Your new rate will be locked in so you will no longer subject to rate increases.
