Frankly, India has challenged China unlike in the past directly countering it strategically QUAD & its Made in China 2025 (Tech Giants). Retaliation is but natural. Since India is linchpin of Indo-Pacific alliance thus Chinese think its time to squeeze the main threat in region.
Also an Indian defeat (unlikely this time) would be massive blow to QUAD & China sees it as an opportune time to pin it down during the pandemic before it gathers its economic steam back sending other vassal states a message on who is the top dog in Asia & that US is not reliable
A stalemate would mean a crushing defeat for PLA whose 1962 card would be blunted forever and will give vigour to other opponents across Asia. The world is looking at what India does. This is the hour of reckoning for us. It will also have huge ramifications globally.
Explained above the Chinese psychology. What China hasnt factored in is battle readiness of Indian Army, Airforce & Navy which can handful in dragging the PLA down in those mountain passes where it isnt used to fighting. Also the X Factor will be American Backing.
People discount America but let me say America will play a critical role coz a defeat for India is defeat for QUAD & a defeat for American challenge to China in the coming decades. So thats not happening. So you can rule out 1962 totally out of the window.

The Liquor Gate Scandal:

IN THE CBI CASE under PoCA SC held

1) The distributors earned 581 crores in 10 months of the policy

2) One Time License Fee 7 crores from 14 distributors

3) The Profit margins were increased from 5 to 12%

4) The SC in Manish Sisodia Judgement states:

“That 7% extra commission earned by the wholesale distributors of 338 crores constitutes as an offence under Section 7 of Prevention Of Corruption Act. These figures can not be disputed and the new excise policy was meant to give windfall gains to select few distributors who in turn agreed to give kickbacks and bribes” (Para 24 & 25)
In the PMLA Case by ED

The SC held in Sisodia Case:

1) 220 Crores paid as bribe to Sisodia is not made out by CBI in Chargesheet thus difficult to accept it as proceed of Crime under PMLA (Para 10)

2) SC alleged that whether 100 crore was actually paid by the liquor group is matter of debate and that 45 crores was transferred through Hawala for GOA campaign by AAP. However Sisodia can be vicariously liable under Section 70 cannot be alleged or sustained.

3) Prima Facie is there is lack of clarity on the involvement of Sisoda for transfer of 45 crores to Goa by AAP.

4) These allegations are subject of Trial by ED which should be done with in 6-8 months.
My sense:

A) Money laundering is a difficult crime to prove in lieu of Section 3 of PMLA and which is why Agency is given excessive powers under Section 24 (Presumption of Guilt), 19 (Power to Arrest), 50 (production statements, confessions etc) & Section 70 (Juristic Entities) with some safeguards and also making bail more difficult under Section 45.

B) In Pankaj Bansal v. Union of India (2023) the SC has held that failure of individuals to respond to the questions put to them by the ED would not be sufficient in itself for the Investigating Officer to opine that they were liable to be arrested under Section 19, as that provision specifically requires him to find reason to believe that they were guilty of an offence under the Act of 2002.

**Mere non-cooperation of a witness in response to the summons issued under Section 50 of the Act of 2002 would not be enough to render him/her liable to be arrested under Section 19.** The SC held

In April 1974" as a worldwide drought and the transformation of American farm policy was in full gear, Nixon's Secretary of State and National Security Adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, sent out a classified memo to select cabinet officials, including the Secretary of Defense" the Secretary of Agriculture, the Deputy Secretary of State and the CIA Director.
The title of the top secret memo was “Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for US Security and Overseas Interests”. The memo , dealt with food policy, population growth and strategic raw materials. It had been commissioned by Nixon on the recommendation of John D. Rockefeller III. The secret project came to be called in Washington bureaucratic shorthand, NSSM 200, or National Security Study Memorandum 200
It was deemed that, should it ever be publicized or leaked, NSSM 200 would be explosive. It was kept secret for almost 15 years until private legal action by organizations associated with the Catholic Church finally forced its declassification in 1989.

The US decision to draft the policy came after the 1974 UN Population Conference in Bucharest, Romania, at which the UN failed to adopt the US position.

There was no Monsanto law (Subsoil Water Act of 2009) in Punjab passed by SAD-BJP government that crop harvesting cycle be changed from September to October so thats a price Delhi/NCR is paying for obeying to Monsanto’s crop cycle suggestion !
Law aiding Monsanto passed in Punjab in 2009 is reason for Delhi’s annual smoke season - sundayguardianlive.com/news/12191-law…
According to a publication of the Indian Council of Social Science Research published in 1991, “At the end of September and in early October, it becomes difficult to travel in the rural areas of Punjab because the air is thick with the smoke of burning paddy straw.” However, in recent years, farmers have delayed the burning until late October.

#IsraelHamasConflict

🔘 Bush Administration war in Iraq and De-Bathification of Iraqi state meant that the fragile equilibrium in Mesopotamia and Levant was disturbed.

🔘As a result there was a vaccum which was then filled by Iran and Shia Militias like Al-Badr whose Nour Al Maliki became the PM and rescinded the Defence Security Agreement with Obama Administration.

🔘The Maliki lead Shia leadership sponsored by Iran oppressed the Sunnis in Iraq and the disgruntled Bath party members joined Qaeda (Al Nusra in Syria) & formed ISIS.

🔘Obama Administration supported Muslim Brotherhood thus PSD-11 regime change in MENA region in garb of Arab Spring. Wave of protests and civil war breakouts happen across the region.

🔘Muslim Brotherhood was actively backed Qatar & Turkey. The Saudis and the Emiratis i.e. Gulf monarchies were always against MB whom they had banned as Terrorist Organisations.

🔘Syrian civil war further mired schims and Obama red lines in sand handed over a victory to Iran, Hezbollah and Shia Militias which further alienated Arab allies. The Shia 🌙 was formed of Iran, Iraq, Syria & Lebanon.
🔘 Obama Nuclear Deal handed a victory lap to Iranians but that meant the peacenicks like Rouhani & Zarif had a chance to turn Iran back to normalcy.

🔘Bibi was steadfast against this normalcy breathing fire on Iranian regime. Enter Trumps who as the manchurian candidate rips apart Iran nuclear deal making US even more unreliable much to delight to Bibi & his war mongering Likud leadership

🔘As a result Rouhani & Zarif was eased out in Iran. The hardline clerics and IRGC took complete control of Iranian state and its power structure taking an ideological stand.

🔘The Killing of solemani in 2020
further pushed Iran away and leading it to signing 25 year agreement with China in 2021 with an investment of 400 billion $ moving away from its neutral position in the last cold war.
🔘Hamas was created by Israel under Sharon to weaken PLO and since then was cultivated by Netanyahu thru the 90s with aim to frustate the implementation of Two state solution under Oslo accords.

🔘Every Round of Hamas targeted killings in Israel meant another round of Israel-Gaza war which would de-legitimise any peace effort with Palestinian Authority in West Bank and the two state solution.

🔘This Served Bibi & his RW zealots politically. It feeded into his popularity but with time fatigue set in. Corruption trial got Bibi in soup. After Trump he lost favour with Biden Administration and sought to make friends with partner in Criminal Syndicate Vladimir Putin of Russia.

🔘Bibi & Israel has many times tried to undermine American interests from espionage and leaking American stealth technology to China. He exclaimed that Israel-China is marriage made in Heaven.

🔘Same China who was empowering Iran & Russia who was protecting and arming Iran (IRGC). Bibi’s short sightedness meant instead of working with America he tried to undermine American interests whenever he could despite warnings from DC.

Iran under Ayatollah Khomeini’s Revolutionary regime witnessed extreme Shia uprising. Khomeini advocated the doctrine of Wilayat al-Faqih. This doctrine advocates a guardianship- based political system over all the Muslims globally, in the absence of the true Imam.

Khomeini wanted to expand this doctrine across all the Arab states to champion the cause of Islamic revival and create a divine rule from an order based in Tehran. His desire to incorporate the same to all the regions of the Middle East included Sunni-dominated lands.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have formed and trained over 42 brigades and 138 battalions apart from providing training and logistical support in Syria. In 2015, a prominent Arab media, Al Hayat, reported Iranian patronage for over 100 Shia militant groups in Iraq and Syria. Though the Sunni-backed ISIS is the first group that comes to mind in this region for its barbarity, these Shia group’s brutalities are no less.

(Page 115, The New Global Order, 2016: Asian Warrior)
Some of these groups are Gangs of the People of the Truth, Companies of the Churasani Pioneer, Battalions of the Lord of the Martyrs, Noble Movement of Hezbollah, Hezbollah Battalions, Companies of Peace, Corps of the Loyal Promise, Badr Organization – Military Wing, Brigade of Omar ibn Yasser, Brigade of the Promised Day, Battalions of the Supporters of Elhaja, Battalions of the Sacred Defence, Brigade of Elkariya, Companies of Alzahra, Brigade of Zu Elfakar, Brigade of the Guarantors of Zainab, Companies of the Supporters of the Belief, Brigade Al Muntazir, Brigade of Abu Elfader Elabbas, Elabdar Movement and many more.

Hamas is an acronym for Harafat al-Muqawama Al-Is- lamiyya, or Islamic Resistance Movement. Its spiritual leader is Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who, despite his fiery anti-Israeli sermons, has had an unusual relationship with the Israeli au- thorities. In 1973, Yassin established the Islamic Associa- tion—at a time when it was Israeli policy to promote what Ambassador Kurtzer refers to as the “Islamic movement.”
Israel’s relations with Hamas intensified after the Arab League, in 1974, decided to recognize Arafat and the PLO as the representatives of the Palestinian people—in effect, a government in exile. By 1979, Yassin acquired an official permit from the Israeli government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin. This coincided with the signing of the Camp David peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
Gen. Ariel Sharon has been the chief proponent since this treaty was signed, of the policy of ensuring that these clauses would never be implemented. His chosen alternatives were war in Lebanon and the expansion of the Jewish settlements in the Occupied Territories. Sharon was helped by the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat by Anglo-American-controlled, Egypt-based Islamic terrorists.
