Mumbai Attacks: In Depth View

The Mumbai Attacks in India are being compared to the U.S.A.'s 9/11. Excuse me...over 3,000 people died on 9/11/01, and 195 people were killed in Mumbai. Where is the journalistic integrity? These attacks are NOT comparable, I hate the news media.

Anyways, so the terrorists hit Cama hospital, a railway station, Oberoi Hotel, Taj Mahal, Cafe Leopold, and the Nariman House. The terrorists being Lashkar-e-Tabia that recieved CIA (United States) training and backing in the 1980s, but have since been put on the US's Terrorist List.

1. Cama & Albless Hospital: An OBGYN hospital for women and children built circa 1880. Funded by United States charities like the MacArthur Foundation. as well as others, like guidestar (though you can't access guidestar's financial records online). Only women work here, as it is against Indian tradition for a man to deliver babies.

2. Railway station: CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI TERMINUS was attacked, only passengers waiting for long-distance trains were attacked. The station was built in 1876, and is famous for Victorian architecture. It is a huge and elaborate station, take a look here.
Funding for the railway comes from various sources, including the Indian government. Interestingly, railway technology.com published an article on Nov. 19 (6 days before the attack) that discussed funding for a new and improved Indian railway system, funded by the World Bank (the U.S. is a major contributor). Other companies, such as, DLF, Indian's largest real estate company will help. DLF specializes in homes, malls, and offices. Another big business in on the "modernization" is Videocon (TVs and Video) as well as DLK, a marketing firm.

3. Oberoi-Trident Hotel: A popular business hotel near the Bombay Stock Exchange. The hotel group has several other hotels in Madrid, London, New York, and Dubai. The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development is a very, very difficult educational center to get accepted into, take a look at some of the FAQ's from the site:

Why is OCLD seen as being so difficult and stressful? Why are people so afraid of OCLD that they do not even appear for the selection? Why is OCLD considered to be so 'out of reach'? or this one: Is it true that the people who graduate from OCLD have to lose their own personality and character to become 'carbon copies' of the Oberoi profile?

4. Taj Mahal Hotel: A 105-year-old city landmark at the heart of India's financial capital, popular with foreigners and tourists as well as the city's elite. Part of the Tata group. This group dabbles in every thing business from hotels, to chemicals, to energy. Visit www.tatagroup.com Yea, and did I mention they made over 60 billion last year?

5. Cafe Leopold: Has been around since 1871, a place for tourists and the city's business elite.

6. Nariman House: House for the Jewish Chabad Lubavitch outreach centre. In 2006, only 3 students were Jewish, the rest Hindu. It is a center for prayer and study and attracts Jews and Israelis. Also known as Chabad House, the organization is international. Their mission is to spread Judaism around the world. See it here.
"Everything in this world was created for a divine purpose. All forms of modern technology can and should be harnessed to make the world a better place and, in the case of Jews, to spread Judaism in the widest possible manner." There are only 6000 Jews in Mumbai, the rest left for Israel.

Now we know what was attacked, India and the U.S. wants us to believe these attacks were done by Pakistani supported terrorists (that used to be American funded fighters during the Cold War) because of the disputed region of Kashmir. More on Kashmir later. Let's first look at these sites that were attacked.

Cama hospital, was and is funded by charities. Now, more money will be donated because of the attacks. The railway station now has a reason to get more money to rebuild and modernize its station from the World Bank and other companies. The hotel chain now gets more business because of the attack. The Jewish house now gets more money thru donations because of the attack. Hey, more Jews might come back to India! And of course the Cafe will get more business because of the attacks. Ummm...

Ok, so we are all supposed to believe that these attacks in Mumbai are related to the India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir. In short, Kashmir has been fought over by these 2 countries since 1947, when the Brits left the colony. The Kashmir ruler, Maharaja Gulab, wanted to remain independent, Pakistan wanted the country because several rivers begin in Kashmir, and the Pakistanis don't want to run out of water. India wanted Kashmir just to have it. So, Pakistan and India sent in troops, and Gulab signed a treaty that made Kashmir a part of India, and not Pakistan, even though 77% Kashmiris want independence, and don't want to be a part of Pakistan or India. Since 1947, both countries have behaved badly in Kashmir.

I feel Kashmir is a distraction from the real reason the terrorists attacked Mumbai. The sites that were attacked, are all sites visited by rich Brits, Americans, and Indians. The sites are all funded by corrupt foreign charities and banks that are essentially taking India hostage. All of the businesses have been around for over 100 years. It seems the terrorists are trying to destroy what is wrong in Mumbai: The social caste system in which a few elite have all the money, power, control and access to the best transportation, education, food, and hotels. While the lower castes in India get craptastic trains, education, food, and hotels.

At Cama & Albless Hospital, several abortions were made, as well as medical studies on babies (funded by Americans, Brits, and Chinese). Think the "terrorists" were mad about this?

I'm sure there is more information out there. But we Americans need to research our news a little more. These attacks were not meant to hurt civilians or to bring attention to the Kashmir conflict. President-elect Obama has been drum rolling for an attack on Pakistan for months, this is just a good excuse to expand the never-ending and ever expanding WAR ON TERROR.

Obama might send troops to Pakistan (2007)
