Remember the 2006 Nithari/Noida Pandher/Koli case? Disgusting beyond words it was. The horrible duo were man-eaters. Literally!
Now let us turn to the notorious Epstein files. What with Rahul Gandhi winking at Hardeep Puri and thus as usual stalling the parliamentary procedure, ignoring all along all possible central and major issues to create ruckus through sheer nuisance value!
The Epstein files, as reported in the media and social media, are much worse. Here there is every possible perversity, cannibalism of the Nithari variety seasoned with vulgar voyeurism and using minor kids as sexual toys. How such people can be called human beings is itself a question much worse than the famous Sphinx query! Devil incarnate would be ashamed to call these so-called elites his own!
What is truly disturbing about these atrocious Epstein files is that they re-define corruption. Corruption is no longer merely monetary. I read up a piece by Sanjeev Chandorkar who relates the files to the neo-liberal/neo-capitalist mode of acquiring and centralising power.
In Chandorkar's opinion, the elite(!!??!!) club gangs up the power brokers in various fields so as to wield control over policies across sovereign states, beyond national borders. To control them so that they do not tell tales, they are lured in to horrid activities, and blackmailed in to co-operation, and convenient silence.
These power-hungry, power-drunk bigwigs, childish enough to 'play' ' kid' games, are not adult enough to own up their horrid wrong doings. Instead, they 'play along', destroying innocent lives while mouthing homilies about justice of all possible kinds! Satans incarnate!
Why have I remembered such creeps at all? Well, on one of the statuses were uploaded pics of a picnic of an international school. Obviously, the kids must come from extremely affluent families to afford the fee- structure, and the unstated but very much meant donations, right?
Clearly, these kids belong to the primary stage of 'education'. How are they celebrating the picnic feel? The pics show their party spirit! Dancing while standing on the handles of bus seats, dancing while holding a 'bottle' atop the head! A lady, could be a teacher?, is watching such antics calmly! Parents proudly parade such portraits! And the social media world wide gases about Epstein's! The devil begins, lies (in all possible meanings of this word) in details!
Pratima@ May I share another Epstein example? Professors who are Ph.D.'s but cannot produce in writing (an activity wherein you can think and 'check') a single correct sentence, professors who, it is told, write books overnight, professors who complete portions even when lectures are not conducted, professors who 'in-directly' leak question papers, professors who gladly give ten marks on five, professors who correct thousand papers in a day, professors who allow students absence from academics, professors who wear the latest designer dresses n jewellery, et al, what with the eighth pay commission (or is it the ninth?) salaries but shy from buying any books, professors who play politics in ways that could shame career politicians, professors who are better than the WhatsApp in forwarding downright n sick canards, and target every possible way individuals who possibly might be competitors! "All is well, all is well" shriek Ranchos, and everyone enjoys Epstein scandals!
Quote of the day: "Integrity, transparency and the fight against corruption have to be part of the culture. They have to be thought as fundamental values," writes Angel Gurria, the OECD Secretary General of Transparency International.
Word of the day: embezzlement. Embezzlement is a white-collar financial crime involving the fraudulent appropriation or theft of money or property by a person to whom it was entrusted, such as an employee, fiduciary, or agent. Unlike theft, the perpetrator has lawful access to the assets but misappropriates them for personal gain. It is a serious offense leading to high fines and imprisonment. Such is the online definition. How to define embezzlement of ethics?
As such, such is the reality, why at all go for "Let us learn grammar"? Who at all would care for correct usage? Most would consider it 'boring' and 'terrorising' to poor, poor (obviously not financially) learners! Better to forget the feature!
