Finally.

I thought he lived in Florida.
Wasn't there a reporter who snuck into the gated community and tried unsucessfully to interview him?

It still will be very hard to bring him and the others responsible to justice.

One more footnote to the world.

For most Americans---life is cheap.

Unless of course it is their own.

'Good Luck World', as long as you are willing to tolerate the USA, you will have many of these incidents to contend with.
Just one example: The "Depleted Uranium" that was used in the first Gulf War--in armour piercing ordinance-has been increased to untold and incalculable levels, in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan--- the deaths of others in the nations where the Americans inhabit will increase exponentially as long as you allow the USA to exist.

'Good Luck America', they cannot tolerate you much longer.

Our children are taught that the United States of America is a democracy. As the tale is told, at the founding of the nation, a government “of, by, and for the people” was established. Four score and seven years later, a President Abraham Lincoln called the nation’s people to join and die in a great civil war that such a form of government might not perish from the earth and their eventual victory preserved American democracy into the future.

Those children can someday refer to the sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright for the full story. But aside from how closely this lesson is in accord with the historic truth, the idea has today become an outright lie and an utter absurdity. The United States of America is now better described as a corporatocracy. The government is owned and the people are dictated to by these capitalist creations whose God is Mammon. Ironically as Lincoln spoke his immortal words at Gettysburg, the Industrial Revolution had begun to generate these entities that would have completely removed any vestige of American democracy seven score and five years later.

Corporations are, of course, different from people. They are devoid of human emotion. They are constitutionally unable to generate empathy. They feel nothing if people suffer exploitation, if people live in misery, or if people die horribly. Union Carbide was unaffected by the thousands dead and dying in Bhopal. It registered only on a balance sheet as a $470-million loss taken for the sake of future corporate viability under a new name, Dow Chemical. The company gave refuge to its criminal agent Warren Anderson. The corporation cannot be reasoned with, pleaded with, or shamed into changing course even in times like these, when life on the planet hangs in the balance. McDonald’s is in the process of teaching Starbucks that even the pretense of a social conscience is too expensive a marketing ploy.

The corporation recognizes and reacts only to threats to its air supply—profits. So figuratively speaking; corporations do share something with human beings. They have an instinct for self-preservation and if they are deprived of a life giving element they die. While human beings must have oxygen and water, the corporation’s lifeblood is those quarterly profits. The corporation must make a profit and then continue making ever greater profit. Corporate profits must grow, forever! Irrational, impossible, unsustainable but that is in the nature of the beast—much as lemmings are pushed into the sea.

The parameters are the same in every corner of the global economy. The maximum profit is a product of the greatest possible productivity and the lowest possible wage. US corporations have moved everything that isn’t nailed down to lower wage countries. Nothing is made in today’s de-industrialized United States. American consumer’s service calls are answered in Ireland and India. Major League baseballs are made in Haiti. AirJordan’s come out of Nike’s sweatshops in Indonesia. Microsoft conducts 85% of its research in the US so Bill Gates wants to lift H-1B visa restrictions to bring the low wage workers here. Halliburton is now headquartered in Dubai and preparing to receive its old boss, Dick Cheney, in his retirement years.

To survive under their profit imperative, corporations must undertake a never ending process of consolidation. There is consolidation by horizontal integration. For instance, numerous US corporations once dotted the auto making landscape. In the recent past it was down to the Big Three. Today Chrysler is doomed, Ford is on life support, and General Motors is on its knees. In the corporate world of the near future cars will be made in Japan, or China, or India. Ultimately, the industry will settle in one corporate entity and their activities will be financed by one entity, Goldman Sachs of America.

Then there is consolidation by vertical integration and its heavyweight champion is Wal-Mart, the world’s largest corporation. Wal-Mart has made a partner of the Chinese government. Working together, the partners have turned China into a vast subsistence-wage labor camp. China supplies Wal-Mart so it has no need of domestic vendors like the now destroyed Rubbermaid. Armed with the lowest production costs, Wal-Mart’s rise up on every other street corner selling every commodity imaginable and every service the corporation can get its hooks into. Wal-Mart lays waste to local economies and then picks up the pieces to become the only butcher, baker and candlestick maker in town. The corporation recently moved to provide banking services in its stores.

The US government has been hollowed out during the rise to absolute power of the corporations. Elections have become an elaborate “reality show” that plays out on corporate television for viewers entertainment. If you watch FOX, the reality is filtered through Rupert Murdoch’s Newscorp, NBC is General Electric news, CNN is Time/Warner news, ABC brings you into Disney’s world, and Viacom regularly checks the iconic CBS news department to make sure Edward R. Murrow is still dead and buried under a mountain of infotainment. That is when Viacom is not preparing America’s youth for slavery and death through MTV and B.E.T.

India should have a Warren Anderson Day - like England has a Guy Fawkes Day.
Perhaps the survivors can beat a life sized pinata to pieces every December 3rd.

I wonder what the US government's response would be were India to extraordinarily render Warren Anderson from the Hamptons to Bhopal. The Indian prime minister could declare (Dumbya and Cheney style) that India reserves the right to act in its own self-interests when no other remedy is avaiable that satisfies them.

Then the survivors of Bhopal could be given clubs to beat the real deal instead of just an effigy. Bwaahahaha!!

Poet

Gary McKinnon, who has Asperger's Syndrome, lost a court bid to avoid extradition from the UK.

The US wants to try him for what it calls the biggest military computer hack ever, in 2001 and 2002, but he says he was seeking evidence on UFOs.

A letter has been sent to the US president signed by 40 British MPs asking him to step in and "bring this shameful episode to an end".

Paraphrased from the BBC

Let's watch and see if Obama extradites McKinnon but does not hand over Warren Anderson. Testing testing rich guy against the poor smuck.

Want to place any bets on this one?

Justice in India is not that much different from justice in America. My parents came to this country thanks to their votes getting disenfranchised and replaced by dead people's votes, unemployment despite two masters degrees each, and lack of justice for Brahmins and even worse for lower castes. Just like terrorists, the corporate crooks will be given another backdoor leeway.

Indian jurisprudence is amongst the slowest on the planet (the Guiness Book of World Records entry for longest lawsuit is from India, dates from the 14th Century, and is still pending), so it is no surprise that the glacial Indian courts have finally issued an arrest warrant.

If the USA does not turn him over, India can cite the precedent of Afghanistan pointing out how the US seized that territory after claiming they shltered Osama Bin Laden.

Where, pray tell, does the boundary of American Interests lie in disputes like this? There are events in our history where the Marines have been sent in to 'protect' them. Will we 'allow' India to resolve this itself, or will we not? What harm is done to the people of this country if India makes the determination. It's this sort of commercial interest evoking "protection" which makes us imperialist. Read Smedley Butler, the most decorated Marine in history prior to WWII.
For generations -- hundreds of years -- our foreign policy has been implemented by the scions of wealthy elites, 'sometimes' in their own personal interests and contrary to or despite the interests of the nation as a whole.
We need to accept that reality, because it is done in our name and on our behalf by people we empowered. It's a matter of assuming responsibility.

Strip corporations of legal "personhood" or procecute them as persons for murder. Death should equal revocation of charter and the recovery and re-distribution of its assets and the assets of the officers and directors from the date the deadly policy/action was authorized.

Listen up all you hypocrities; the tragedy was

caused by LOCAL INCOMPETENCE and CORRUPTION which

is pervasive all through the stinkin country !!!!

If you all hate America, then DON'T ask for nuclear, military and tech secrets and DON'T try to IMMITATE the culture > jeans, fast-food etc etc

AND MOST OF ALL, DON'T BE P-A-R-A-S-I-T-E-S, BY

COPYING EVERYTHING A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N and STEALING

JOBS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TRY TO STAND UP ON YOUR OWN and LIKE THE SAYING GOES, ''WIPE YOUR OWN A$$ BEFORE CASTING ASPERSONS ON OTHERS'' !!!!!!!!!!!

NAMASTAEE JEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
