Corruption hurts everyone, and it harms the poor the most. Sometimes its devastating impact is obvious:

• · A father who must do without shoes because his meagre wages are used to pay a bribe to get his child into a supposedly free school.
• · The unsuspecting sick person who buys useless counterfeit drugs, putting their health in grave danger.
• · A small shop owner whose weekly bribe to the local inspector cuts severely into his modest earnings.
• · The family trapped for generations in poverty because a corrupt and autocratic leadership has systematically siphoned off a nation’s riches.

Other times corruption’s impact is less visible:

• · The prosperous multinational corporation that secured a contract by buying an unfair advantage in a competitive market through illegal kickbacks to corrupt government officials, at the expense of the honest companies who didn’t.
• · Post-disaster donations provided by compassionate people, directly or through their governments, that never reach the victims, callously diverted instead into the bank accounts of criminals.
• · The faulty buildings, built to lower safety standards because a bribe passed under the table in the construction process that collapse in an earthquake or hurricane.

Corruption has dire global consequences, trapping millions in poverty and misery and breeding social, economic and political unrest.

Corruption is both a cause of poverty, and a barrier to overcoming it. It is one of the most serious obstacles to reducing poverty.

Corruption denies poor people the basic means of survival, forcing them to spend more of their income on bribes. Human rights are denied where corruption is rife, because a fair trial comes with a hefty price tag where courts are corrupted.

Corruption undermines democracy and the rule of law.

Corruption distorts national and international trade.

Corruption jeopardises sound governance and ethics in the private sector.

Corruption threatens domestic and international security and the sustainability of natural resources.

Those with less power are particularly disadvantaged in corrupt systems, which typically reinforce gender discrimination.

Corruption compounds political exclusion: if votes can be bought, there is little incentive to change the system that sustains poverty.

The conclusion – Corruption hurts everyone.

Here is an attempt to
go behind the scenes to trace how a police officer of the rank of
sub-inspector functions in Goa, a western state of India, from his recruitment to becoming part of the well-oiled bribery system, which is the legacy of every police installation.
“Encounter Specialist” Daya Nayak, of the Mumbai
police, was suspended after a probe by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB)
into his allegedly disproportionate assets revealed they exceeded his
known sources of revenue.
Raids on the house of someone like him, who has been the inspiration for many a Bollywood
flick, revealed that he and his wife had acquired assets worth INR
41.75 lakh (US$94,671). As a sub-inspector at Charkop police station,
Nayak drew a salary of only INR 9,000 (US$204 /per month).
In
2003, an independent crime branch inquiry into Nayak’’s assets
concluded that he is involved in film financing. Further, he owned
hotels in Switzerland, Dubai and Goa. That wasn”t all; he also owned at least three flats in Mumbai.

Nayak hails from Mangalore, and made it big in Mumbai, gaining fame
between 1998 and 2001 in gunning down 83 gangsters in allegedly staged
“encounters,” which inspired the Hindi film “Ab Tak Chhappan.”

Mario is a physical education teacher at a Catholic school in the State
of Goa. As a youth he was a champion athlete at university and won many
awards.
After graduation he had his sights set on entering the
police force as a police cadet. He had all the sports certificates and
the physical attributes to back him up, along with his academic
qualifications. Also, his father had been a freedom fighter against
Portuguese colonialism.
That was some twenty years ago. Mario
never made it into the police force, not passing the vision
requirements. It turns out that was just a pretext for the
powers-that-be to get him off the list.
He was competing in a field of over 50 graduates, all of whom were vying for the 15-odd posts of sub-inspector in the Goa
police force. The fifteen vacancies all went to candidates who could
shell out INR 1.5 lakh (US$3,400) for the posts. Mario failed to
qualify as he was not ready to pay the bribe. He wanted to be a genuine
police officer without paying bribes and strike at the evils in
society.
Instead of combating illegal
activities as a police officer he ended up by lecturing kids in the
classroom and passing on the skills he had learned in sports.
In
the last two decades a lot has changed, including the police forces.
The price a new recruit into the force has to pay corrupt politicians
has shot up to INR 5 lakh (US$11,338).
Paresh is one such new entrant, who has just finished his two-year probation period – one year
at the Nashik training academy in the western state of Maharashtra and
the remaining year getting practical training at five different police
stations in Goa.
He is now looking for a posting at one of Goa’’s
numerous police precincts. His first assignment would be to work as a
sub-inspector (PSI) under a police inspector (PI), who is in turn responsible to the deputy superintendent of police (DYSP).

Goa has a DYSP and SP in each of the eleven talukas . Goa, in addition,
has a narcotics bureau, a tourist and traffic department and now the
marine police.
Paresh’’s parents have invested half a million
rupees (US$11,338) in him in the hope that he will work it off over
time. Tot hope to recover the amount through his salary, which would
take some ten years.
So, what is the course that Paresh could
follow to recover the money his parents have invested in him to get the
post? He cannot be in a hurry, needing to learn the ropes of how to
extort a bribe.
His first posting is in the coastal area of
Colva, one of the famous beaches of Goa with a very “hectic” police
station, meaning a “lucrative” posting in police parlance, in fact, the
most sought-after posting in terms of potential revenue from extortion.

After three months at Colva, the tourist season has just began.
Paresh is on his beat, answerable to his superior, Nelson.  The station
officer in charge is the person who answers to his superiors whenever
anything adverse occurs in his jurisdiction, so everything must be
under control.
That does not mean, however, that Paresh has to come down hard on the illegal activities that take place in his beat area, which would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The only choice for Paresh then is to monitor violations on his beat
using the feedback from his beat constables, who are acquainted with
all the persons who do illegal business on the beach. Continuity is
maintained even when constables and police officers are transferred,
the outgoing ones introducing their replacements to the persons
involved in the illegal trade.  His mission is to get acquainted with
all the persons who bring in the moolah for the Colva police station,
which is then shared out according to rank.
Head constable
Anthony Gomes has prepared a list of contacts in the area for Paresh,
names of new “friends,” starting with the gamblers. Pedro runs a dice
game (”goddgodo”) at each of the football tournaments and tiatrs (folk
dramas-ed.) in the Colva police station jurisdiction. Then comes
Inacio, he is the agent for an illegal lottery known as “matka.” Then
there’’s John, who supplies call girls to foreign and Indian tourists.
Paul is a small-time drug dealer and also runs water sports activities on the beach illegally, without permission from the Tourism Department.

John is an ex-fisherman who now ferries foreign tourists to Bat Island.
He does not have permission to ferry tourists nor does he adhere to
safety regulations, all reasons for his name turning up on Paresh’’s
list. Then there’’s Shiva, a hawker on the beach, speaking 15 foreign
languages. But the only language police know is the language of money.

Hirappa is the unofficial leader of the hawkers on the beach. For years
he has been collecting bribes from them and handing it over to the beat
constable concerned.  Each hawker had to pay INR 100 or US$2.27 per
week to the precinct and 75 INR or US$1.70 to the tourist police every
day.
Then there was Dominic, a teenage boy who rented scooters to
tourists. Next on the list is Anthony, a partner in a beachside shack
restaurant, a hot spot for late night beach parties.
With late
night music having to come to an end at 11 p.m., restaurant owners pay
the police to keep the music and their business going without any
hassles.
Then there was the beach masseur, Linappa Malappa,
originally from Karnataka, but for the last ten years doing business on
the beach.
These persons would contribute a regular stream of
income to the police station during the tourist season from October to
February every year. The beat constable who welcomes them also collects
the take.
The average monthly collection, normally around INR 2
lakh (US$4,542), has to be split with the DYSP and SP of the taluka. As
for Paresh, his share would be some INR 10,000 (US$227), in addition to
his regular salary.
Tyson is just shy of 22 but has been
innumerable times in and out of prison cells. His is a familiar face to
the police, but the last time he went behind bars is now a year ago.
From a juvenile to a seasoned criminal, he is now a police informant.
It’’s snitches like Tyson who keep Paresh happy.

Within this article from The Times of London it is implicated that police in India may be carrying out contract killings under the guise of police work. According to the article, certain members of the police in India are killing unarmed suspects and lying about what happened in order to forgo trials and paperwork. Most of these episodes were hard to prove because there was no hard proof of what had happened. Well finally an info warrior in India took a series of pictures that shows what happened to the latest person gunned down by cops in the northeastern state of Manipur.

Five of the pictures were published by The Times of London on their website. Below are the pictures and the article. One of the pictures is kind of graphic though not as bad as you would think. I have seen PG-13 movies with worse gore than the last of the five pictures.

This episode in India gets me to thinking about whether or not some of the police in this country might be carrying out contract killings or contract life ruining arrests, where even if the person is completely innocent their life is still ruined. The NWO uses this tactic all the time to bring down the people that are outing their agenda’s. So many courageous whistle blowers have been murdered for bringing us the truth in America. It is really disheartening that people do not take their messages seriously. Obviously if they were not telling the truth, they would have not been killed. People in this country really need to wake up about the New World Order, the Alien/UFO Agenda’s and the truth about our spirit souls. The people that control us know these truths and they keep them from you to keep you unhappy and in the darkness. The more unhappy we are the more they can control us and the less successful we will be, which means more money for them.

Articles like the one below should be a wake up call for people around the world. If you still think that all is well in our world, please stop being delusional, things are far from being good for any of us.

Pictures show broad-daylight ‘killing’ of suspect by Indian police in market

Chongkham Sanjit, 27, is arrested by police commandos in a post office in the capital of Manipur, northeast India. The red arrow shows his short journey from arrest to the place of his daylight killing

Mr Sanjit is apparently going willingly with the commandos who have arrested him. He does not appear armed, as was claimed by the officers after his death

But an officer reaches for his pistol as Mr Sanjit is escorted. They are standing barely 500 metres from the state assembly

Then Mr Sanjit is dragged by the commandos into the pharmacy, where he is apparently killed

Mr Sanjit’s dead body is then thrown into a truck. On the left is the body of a pregnant woman caught in the crossfire of an earlier police shootout

by Times Online

Indian police have been photographed apparently carrying out an extra-judicial killing of a hospital attendant in a busy market in the first such exposé of a practice that rights activists say is increasingly rife within the country’s police force.

The police originally said that they shot dead Chongkham Sanjit, 27, when he fired on them as they were chasing him through the market in the northeastern state of Manipur, on the border with Burma, on July 23.

The Manipur Police Commandos said they had recovered a 9mm Mauser pistol from the dead man, whom they accused of being a member of a banned separatist group — one of

But photographs published by the Tehelka investigative magazine clearly show police commandos approaching an unarmed Sanjit, frisking him and bundling him into a pharmacy, as one officer reaches for his pistol.

The officers are then shown dragging out his corpse moments later and loading it on to the back of a truck alongside that of a pregnant woman shot dead in the crossfire of an earlier police shootout.

The apparent killing took place in broad daylight — at about 10.30am — and only 500 metres from the building where the legislative assembly was meeting in Imphal, Manipur’s capital.

Tehelka said the images had been taken by a local photographer, who did not dare publish them in Manipur for fear of recrimination from the local police.

Human rights campaigners said it was the first time they could remember there being such incriminating visual evidence of what in India is known as a “fake encounter killing”.

“Is this the first time there has been such compelling evidence? I’d say yes,” Meenakshi Ganguly of Human Rights Watch told The Times.

Suhas Chakma, Director of the Delhi-based Asian Centre for Human Rights, said: “This is the first case where the actual killing has been caught on camera.” Police in India often kill people in “fake encounters” — staged shootouts with alleged suspects — but it is usually almost impossible to prove because they always claim that the victims were armed.

The practice began in the 1980s as a way to eliminate dangerous suspects whom police said could not be convicted in court because of widespread corruption and witness intimidation.

On Tuesday, Human Rights Watch published a report documenting a range of human rights abuses committed by Indian police, including aribtrary arrests, torture and extra-judicial killings.

“India is modernising rapidly, but the police continue to use their old methods: abuse and threats,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “It’s time for the Government to stop talking about reform and fix the system.”

The local government in Manipur originally stood by the police, who claimed that Sanjit had pulled out a pistol after they tried to frisk him, and then fired at least four shots, accidentally killing the pregnant woman bystander.

But after several days of violent protests across Manipur, and the publication of the photographs, the Government has now suspended the six police officers involved and ordered a judicial inquiry.

Okram Ibobi Singh, Manipur’s Chief Minister, said he had been misled by his own police chief.

“I admit I said Sanjit was an active member of the separatist People’s Liberation Army (PLA), because that is what the police chief told me,” he told a news conference.

“Now I know he had surrendered and apparently was not involved in the activities of his former organization.” Sanjit is reported to have left the PLA on health grounds in 2006, and to have been living with his family and working as an attendant in a private hospital ever since.

“Further action will depend on the outcome of the judicial inquiry,” the Chief Minister said.

However, activists warned that a judicial inquiry could take years, and that members of the security forces accused in several previous cases had yet to be held to account.

Securing convictions in such cases is particularly hard in Manipur because it is covered by the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, which allows security forces to arrest, torture and kill without fear of prosecution.

Mr Chakma of the ACHR said that he had documented 19 encounter killings in Manipur last year alone and more than 50 over the past five years, the highest number for any state in India.
