In order to perform illusions greater than a sleight of hand, the magician often uses a cloak.Thecreation of illusions is not magical, or mystical, but is a hint ofsuggestion, an understandingofhuman nature, relatively simple technical manipulations, and the fulfillment of carefully planted expectations. Despite this fundamental awareness, one is awed by the magician’s illusions of objects disappearing and appearing.The question must be asked— why? As is the case with all complex questions,there is no single, simple answer, but the best generalization is that the British hid their preparations in plain sight by allowing the ZIONIST to see what they expected to see and thus led them to a false conclusion, then acted in an unexpected way. The strategic deception operation that enabled them to do so was multi-faceted and complex. The erroneous perceptions of the Anwar vs Mahatir conflict that thedeceptionplanted in the Malay mindset in 1998 are still operative today.he following was sent to me as a joke….. that’s exactly what it is

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 14 — Putrajaya has closed the door for good on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s 1998 “black-eye incident” despite allegations of evidence fabrication against Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail.
In its highly-anticipated explanation to Parliament today, the government clearly side-stepped the damning accusations made by former investigating officer Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim that Abdul Gani had falsified documents in the case, brushing aside the former’s two recent open letters.
Instead, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz(picture) told the House today that there was no need for Mat Zain to complain that the independent panel formed to investigate the evidence fabrication had failed to clear his name in the incident.
This, said Nazri, was because Mat Zain had never been the subject of the panel’s probe and had merely been called forth as a witness to testify.
“The MACC’s (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) advisory board, though its letter to Datuk Mat Zain on July 23, 2009, had already stressed that there was no need for the independent panel or the MACC to clear Mat Zain’s name, seeing as he was not the subject of the investigation in the first place,” he said.
Nazri also said that the panel had been constitutional, despite Mat Zain’s claim that the Solicitor-General had no right to appoint the members.
In his first open letter to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar, Mat Zain had claimed that the right to appoint a tribunal only lay with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, based on the prime minister’s advice.
The A-G, he added, had deceived the Cabinet into believing that the S-G could act in his stead and appoint the members as deputy public prosecutors under the Criminal Procedure Code.
In July 2008, Anwar had filed a police report, accusing Abdul Gani, Mat Zain, Musa and a Dr Abdul Rahman Yusof of falsifying a medical report on his black-eye case, which alleged that his injuries had been self-inflicted.
Three independent panel members comprising Federal and Court of Appeal judges later cleared Abdul Gani and Musa of the allegations, but the status of Mat Zain and Dr Abdul Rahman remained uncertain.
“But the 2-1 majority decision on Abdul Gani meant that one of the panel members found testimony linking Abdul Gani to wrongdoing. However, both Abdul Gani and Musa were cleared of all allegations,” Mat Zain had said in his later.
Mat Zain had filed a RM30 million defamation suit against Anwar in 2008 to clear his name after the Pakatan Rakyat leader claimed that Abdul Gani, who was a senior DPP then, and Musa, who was an investigating officer, had fabricated evidence against him in the black-eye assault.
But Nazri insisted today that the appointment of the panel members by the S-G had been constitutional, claiming that it had been in accordance with section 376(2) of the CPC, read together with section 376(3).
“If you study section 376 of the CPC carefully, only one legal stand can be seen, which is that the S-G has the power to appoint DPPs.
“Please allow me to read the Act,” he said and proceeded to read several CPC provisions, which states, “The A-G shall be the Public Prosecutor and shall have the control and direction of all criminal prosecutions and proceedings under this code. The S-G shall have all powers of a DPP and shall act as Public Prosecutor in case of the absence or inability to act of the A-G. The Public Prosecutor may appoint fit and proper persons to be DPPs who shall be under the general control and direction of the Public Prosecutor and may exercise all or any of the rights and powers vested in or exerciseable by the Public Prosecutor by or under this Code or any other written law except any rights or powers expressed to be exerciseable by the Public Prosecutor personally and he may designate any of such DPPs as Senior DPPs.”
Nazri pointed out that the Act clearly gave power to the S-G to act as the Public Prosecutor in the event that the A-G could not act as one.
“In this case, Abdul Gani was the subject of the investigation and because of that, it was not fair or appropriate for him to appoint the members of the panel.
“Due to this, the S-G had taken over the power to do so and this was valid,” he said.
At the conclusion of Nazri’s explanation, Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timor) stood up to protest that the explanation was unsatisfactory but his attempt was thwarted by the Dewan Rakyat Speaker.
Among other allegations, Mat Zain has accused the A-G of being guilty of falsifying the medical reports in the incident through “careful planning, preparation and a deliberate intention to fulfil clear motives”.
In his second open letter, he also slammed Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein for attempting to silence his claims when the latter told Lim in a written response recently that the case had been closed and would not be reopened.
This, he said, showed that the government had an intention to protect certain individuals in the incident.
Mat Zain also said that the royal commission of inquiry’s investigation report on the issue in 1999 had not included all three medical report, which totalled 65 pages.
“To be fair to Abdul Gani, I do not have information to say that he had a hand in making sure the first report was not included in the final document but I would not be shocked if he was indeed involved because he has a personal stake in it.
“What is worrying here is that if even the royal commission of inquiry’s report can be manipulated, just imagine what can be done to investigation records involving common citizens,” he had written.
Mat Zain had also expressed hope that IGP Ismail would take another look at the case and reminded him that no one had the power to indemnify any individual from criminal liability.
“It is important to look at the fabrications that occurred in the investigation of the ‘black-eye’ case and in all other cases related to it, to identify who the main players are.
“These evidences, whether direct or circumstantial, have been very clear,” he said.
Tan Sri Rahim Noor, the IGP in 1998, had taken the fall for the incident and had admitted he assaulted Anwar following the royal commission of inquiry probe in 1999.
He has since been convicted of the crime and sentenced to two months’ jail and a fine of RM2,000. Rahim has completed his sentence.
In a statement, Justice Gokhale, who was the chief justice of the Madras High Court at that time, said that in his letter to Justice Balakrishnan, the then CJI, he had clearly referred to the name of Raja.
Justice Gokhale's statement totally contradicts Justice Balakrishnan's claim that there was no mention of any Union minister in the report sent by Justice Gokhale, then High Court Chief Justice, on Justice S Reghupathi episode.
"I regret to say that the allegations are absolutely incorrect," Balakrishan had said last week referring to news reports that he had suppressed a letter purportedly written by Justice Reghupathi to him when he was Chief Justice of India.
In a statement on Tuesday, Justice Gokhale said, "The former CJI has stated in his press conference that in my letter I did not mention the name of any Union minister having talked to Justice Reghupathi over phone to influence him.
"With respect to this statement I may point out that Justice Reghupathi's letter was already with him and in the second paragraph thereof justice Reghupathi had specifically mentioned the name of Raja.
"I had no personal knowledge about the incident and observations in my reply wherein are in conformity with the contents of Justice Reghupathi's," Justice Gokhale said.
News reports had alleged that Balakrishan had suppressed that letter which had purportedly alleged that Raja had tried to influence Justice Reghupathi which cast aspersion on him (CJI) that he had committed dereliction of duty.
"When this incident was reported in the media, I sought for a report from the then Chief Justice of Madras High Court Justice Gokhale and he sent me a report wherein nothing was mentioned about any Union minister having made a telephonic talk with Justice Reghupathi to influence him," Balakrishan had said.
It does not matter whether Rakhi Sawant knows 2G from `haanji’. People outside the telecom industry are equally clueless, including the experts battling it out on national television, night after agonizing night. All we know is that there has been a major gadbad ghotala involving some really zabardast corporate guys and that the country has been looted of lakhs of crores. Naughty, really naughty. These sort of `rascalas’ need superstar Rajni, not Kapil Sibal to rescue them. There are so many versions floating around about these bad guys that even Brahmadev’s personal intervention won’t help us to get our heads around this mega scandal. If Brahmadev is sensible, he’ll stay out of the mess and watch the drama unfold from his lofty perch in swarg. But this indifference from heavenly bodies should not deter the bloodhounds of the legal system from going in for the kill. So far, their efforts have been clumsy, comical and amateurish. It’s like being forced to sit through a black-and-white Bud Abbott and Lou Castello film, with bumbling cops tripping over their own toes as they chase nimble robbers. Look at the modus operandi employed so far -- those meaningless `raids’ on Raja’s properties, months and weeks after the guy has cleaned out and cleaned up (someone obviously forgot to tell the sleuths the horse had bolted weeks ago). The craftily timed leaks (what fun -- we are in sync with Julian Assange finally). The charges and counter-charges flying around in this absurd `whodunit’ that boasts of a stellar star cast. And grabbing all the headlines (but staying out of serious trouble) is India’s own Mata Hari or Hunterwali – Fearless Radia.
We are told by those-who-know, `You ain’t seen nuthin yet.’ Miles and miles of tapes still remain in those cans, with more names, more revelations coming up. The idea is to release key leaks when attention levels in the scandal start to flag. Sitting on stuff that can potentially destroy careers and reputations in one swift stroke, is a priceless khazana for government agencies to hang on to. Confuse the enemy, advised Confucius, centuries earlier. Let the scamsters sweat, say our babus! Those shivering in their pants, saris and salwar kameezes, waiting for the next bombshell to drop, can make life slightly easier for themselves by hiring interlocutors (love the word!). Any Bollywood style `setting’ needs swift and efficient damage control. This is the time when powerful touts make the real bucks. As we have seen in the Adarsh case, key files can and do disappear (a large window to facilitate easy disappearance is always factored into the deal, even as noises are made about taking action against culprits). Once evidence is destroyed, what remains? Aha! This is where Rakhi Sawant comes in. Anybody who has watched this unstoppable force of nature in action on a show that sees her meting out instant justice to cowering participants, will tell you she is the most admired `judge’ in India. Forget `law-shaw’ and other such formalities, Rakhi single-handedly skewers, grills and punishes those she thinks deserve no mercy. A suicide here and there, doesn’t bother her. The sentence is passed remorselessly. And God help you if you think there has been a total miscarriage of justice – there is no higher court than Rakhi’s in the land. Wonder of wonders, Rakhi has more credibility than some of our real-life judges. People who watch her show, believe in her and agree with most of her `verdicts’.
Which is more than can be said about the way the 2G exposé is being handled. All of India is stupefied and laughing out loud at the absurdity of the ongoing battle royale between mighty industrialists and powerful politicians. Kapil Sibal has the worst job in the cabinet. He has announced a one-man `committee’ (surely more than one person makes up a committee?), to "examine appropriateness of procedures adopted by DoT in the issuance of licenses and allocation of spectrum during the period 2001-2009". Yada yada yada. We pretty much know the outcome. How different can it possibly be to all the collective outcomes of similar, well -intentioned enquiries of the past? Nobody believes in those pointless show-cause notices. Nobody believes that any of the high-profile rogues floating around will ever see the inside of a jail. And nobody believes the truth (such as it is) will ever come out. So why not spare us the time and expense involved in this mockery of an investigation? Whether it was the BJP or the NDA, whether Rajeev Chandrashekhar is wrong and Ratan Tata, right -- as of now, everybody is in the same overstuffed basket filled with ignominious charges. What if Rakhi Sawant were to summon the main players into her `court’ and invite the people of India to judge for themselves, there and then? On the spot verdict! That would be the ultimate reality show with ratings going through the roof. Imagine the visual – Rakhi as judge, clad in her trademark cleavage-revealing outfits, spouting priceless lines as she cross-examines Raja and Co. Her over glossed pout puckering up as she creases that tightly stretched brow, leans forward, tossing masses of hair extensions, and asks provocatively, "Ab tera kya hoga, Raja?" Raja may chortle and say, "Mere paas bungalow hai, gaadi hai, daulat hai."
That will be Rakhi’s cue to summon her ace witness who will then demolish Raja by thundering, "Mere paas Amma hai."
Case dismissed.
India will go back to sleep.
