It's a searing image from the Gulf War of 1991. There were 180,000 Indians trapped in Saddam's Iraq, starving. But the well-fed cats and dogs of the citizens of western nations, sobbed the Indian Ambassador in sheer frustration, had higher priority on the UN's evacuation flights than starving Indian children. Last week this priority system came flashing back in the words of President Subbiondo dof the <b>California Institute of Integral Studies.</b>
It was a terrible week again for Indian children. According to Times of India, <b>"a large number of Maoist guerrillas ran amok in a Bihar district bordering Nepal reportedly killing up to 21 people. ..Over 300 Maoist guerrillas.. attacked the Madhuban bazaar, opened fire,.. set fire to the police station and block office, killing two policemen and a bank guard⦠exploded bombs,.. ransacked (banks) .. bombed houses .. looted cash and jewellery."</b>1
Nothing new there, except the brand-new set of bereaved families. The Comrades have been doing this for the past 60 years. A little primer for those too young to understand what "Maoist" means, or how it relates to "Marxist", "Communist", and "People's Tribunals":
Red Amoebic Fission
Frustrated with elections, dissent etc., the would-be Stalins and Maos of the Communist Party of India (CPI) have spun off ever-more violent terrorist groups. The Chinese-funded CPI (Marxist) successively delegated Class War to the CPI (M-Leninist), CPI (ML-Trotskyite), and CPI (ML-Maoist). This last entity is also called "Naxalite", after the West Bengal village of Naxalbari where they started Class War by robbing and beheading farmers and any other productive citizens in the early 1970s. Short-lived in Kerala, where it ran afoul of the CPI (M)'s own protection racket, Naxal terrorism has thrived in Andhra and Jharkhand, and is now starting in Orissa. The "People's War Group" (PWG) of the CPI (MLM) had a website announcing <b>"People's Tribunal"</b> Death Warrants for 3 elected, serving Chief Ministers of Indian States. In 2003, CPI (ML) and CPI (MLM) merged into CPI (Maoist), which is on the US State Department's list of terrorist groups along with its Nepalese counterpart, CPN (Maoist).

So does any of this trigger concern? Apparently not at the San Francisco Chronicle, nor at<b> CIIS.</b> What is far more important is that <b>Associate Professor Angana Chatterji of the CIIS</b> managed to get citizens in otherwise-peaceful Orissa state <b>so mad that they walked out on her </b><b>"People's Tribunal"</b> and <b>made her destroy the tapes she had made of their comments under false pretences. Apparently they got mad when they realized that the "professor" had come by in an earlier year posing as a "journalist", and written articles casting them as savages, and co-authored a "Comprehensive Report" falsely casting their brave struggle to rise from the wreckage of a monster cyclonic storm in 2000 as "religious hate-mongering"</b>. Among other antics.
The agreed facts are:
1. <b>A team of some seven leftist (or "People's") activists calling themselves the "People's Tribunal" came to Bhubhaneshwar, Orissa and started taping statements from the gracious locals. Presumably, the locals were led to believe that this was an official government delegation.
</b>
2. The con was going hunky-dory until the witnesses got a FAX from someone who recognized their interrogators. Calling back, the witnesses learned with growing rage that the interrogator(s) had been seen addressing meetings of the CPI (M), were probably foreign-funded, with at least one member being considered to be rabidly anti-Hindu (anti-India?)
3. Tribunal member "Dr. Hans", a local professor, went out to see what was keeping the witnesses, and upon finding out, "went home directly". Didn't see any need to return and warn the damsels-in-imagined-distress, or call police. Drove home. Perhaps didn't appreciate being made a goat.
4. The locals, realizing that the "Tribunal" was not an official government delegation with senior jurists, but a gang of leftists with their hired lawyers, returned and <b>demanded that the tapes be destroyed, and advised the Tribunal to leave town.</b> Whether they yelled: "Rape!" "Tape!" or "Ape!" is open to question, per comments at the Sulekha.com portal, but certainly tempers seem to have flared.

3. To protest the NYPD's questioning of bearded comrade Rakesh Sharma who was videotaping the Metlife Building in NYC for over 30 minutes nonstop.
