Summary of All scams of India : Rs. 910603234300000/-

                           See how Lokpal Bill can curb the politicians, Circulate it to create awareness
Existing System System Proposed by civil society
                           No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite huge evidence because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come under the government. Before starting investigation or prosecution in any case, they have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated. Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be independent bodies. ACB and CBI will be merged into these bodies. They will have power to initiate investigations and prosecution against any officer or politician without needing anyone’s permission. Investigation should be completed within 1 year and trial to get over in next 1 year.
                             Within two years, the corrupt should go to jail.
No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented. Lokpal and Lokayukta will have complete powers to order dismissal of a corrupt officer. CVC and all departmental vigilance will be merged into Lokpal and state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta.
                                 No action is taken against corrupt judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges. Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have powers to investigate and prosecute any judge without needing anyone’s permission.
Nowhere to go - People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaints. Lokpal & Lokayukta will have to enquire into and hear every complaint.
                                   There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance departments. Their functioning is so secret that it encourages corruption within these agencies. All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be transparent. After completion of investigation, all case records shall be open to public. Complaint against any staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and punishment announced within two months.
                                              Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of anti-corruption agencies. Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections of Chairperson and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a transparent and public participatory process.
Citizens face harassment in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior officers also get their cut. Lokpal & Lokayukta will get public grievances resolved in time bound manner, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guilty officer and award that amount as compensation to the aggrieved citizen.
                                                              Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money. Loss caused to the government due to corruption will be recovered from all accused.
Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years. Enhanced punishment - The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.

Dear All, Please go through the details carefully & try to be part of this mission against corruption. Things to know about Anna Hazare and Lok pal Bill-:
1.Who is Anna Hazare?
An ex-army man(Unmarried). Fought 1965 Indo-Pak war.

2.What's so special about him?
He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra.

3.This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills. In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.
4. This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.

5. He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.

6. How that can be possible?
He is advocating for a Bill, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), bureaucrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

7. It's an entirely new thing right..?
In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit their theft (corruption).

8. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time? The first thing he is asking for is: the govt should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed. Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the LOK PAL BILL. 50% government participation and 50% public participation. Bcoz u can't trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

9.What will happen when this bill is passed?
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished.

Pass this on n show ur support..

Spread it like fire; Our Nation needs us... Please Contribute... This is not just a forward, it’s the future of our Nation.

End of the world 2012 // Science Supported Predictions

2012 science predictions are many. Each of which could cause tragic destruction to the earth and possibly eliminate the population altogether. At any rate, it may represent 2012 Doomsday , a sudden change of life events, or it may just be a reflection of anticipation that doesn’t come to pass.

Personally, I am more inclined to believe the predictions that 2012 science supports over the predictions that just don’t make any sense and have no documentation to prove that such things could happen. Scientists are pretty smart people who use a compilation of math skills, experiments, scientific concepts, and documentation of history in making such predictions; however, from time to time things do happen that were unpredicted by science due to a shortage or limited monitoring. Some of the techniques may be over our heads, but usually, when a scientist says that something will happen, it will.

Events Predicted - 2012 Science by NASA

NASA is a respected government agency that was established by the President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, back in 1958. Basically, their job is to explore both the earth and space using scientific methods in order to improve life on earth. Viewing them as a trusted source, I took a look to see what they have published in regard to 2012.

Here is what I found…

• Back in 2006, NASA issued a Solar Storm warning. Dikpati was convinced that we would reach Solar Max in 2012; however, other scientists believe that it will occur earlier, in 2010 or 2011.
• NASA presumes that the magnetic poles of the sun will reverse in 2012.
• NASA expects an annular solar eclipse on May 20th of 2012.
• NASA denies the existence of a planet named Nibiru.
• NASA admits that the earth is subject to being hit by large asteroids or comets, as it was 65 million years ago which caused extinction of the dinosaurs. A senior scientist says that large hits are rare, and they haven’t identified anything that would cause them to suspect big hits in 2012.
• A 2006 study of climate changes concluded that the living conditions of crops will be dramatically affected by a lack of precipitation.
• In reference to life elsewhere in the solar system, NASA states that microbial life forms have been found on Earth that survive under extreme conditions and that it is possible that such environments exist in the Solar System which may support life based on the known interactions of life with the evolvement of the environment in which they exist.
• Scientists refer to forces in the universe that tend to push things apart as “dark energy” of which not much is known; however, it is mentioned in reference to the fate of the universe.

Looking at these scientific facts, some of the 2012 predictions are possible although NASA doesn’t expect anything big to happen in the year of 2012, except maybe a solar storm. Is a 2012 Asteroid or a 2012 Comet possible? 2012 science happening will tell.

Station after station we pass are eerily empty, cordoned off with a panel reading "sold out" in big black and red characters. In the outskirts of the city, a few stations are still open but dozens of cars have formed long queues. We take our chances with one station. Here as in every other station, big yellow signs with blue and red characters warn customers they are limited to 20 litres per car.

TGT Bank released indians black money list

TGT Bank : Black Money list

New Delhi: One list, which generated excitement and mystery, was the names of Indians who had stashed black money in LGT Bank in the tax haven of Liechtenstein.

Two years back, Germany had handed over names and bank account details of 26 Indian who had stashed their alleged black money either in trusts or individual accounts in the LGT Bank Nation, 190 km from Munich, Germany. It was given in a sealed cover to the Supreme Court.

CNN-IBN has accessed part of that list and it seems that only Rs 52 crore is the total money that belongs to Indians are stashed in the LGT Bank.

Of these, Rs 3 lakh has been deposited by Marnichi Trust, in which some members are Hasmukh Gandhi, Ishwerlal Gandhi, Madhu Gandhi, Chintan Gandhi and Mirav Gandhi.

Ambrunova Trust & Marline Management SA stashed Rs 24 lakh in the bank and members of the trust include Manoj Dhupelia, Rupal Dhupelia, Mohan Dhupelia, Bhavya Dhupelia and Ambrish Dhupelia.

Socalo Stiftung has stashed only Rs 1.5 lakh in the bank and its members include Prabodh Mehta, Kirtilal Mehta and Rashmilal Mehta.

Sources in the Enforcement Directorate said that the other names include businessmen associated with Indian cricket. They are still investigating, trying to find out whether some of these accounts are fronts for powerful people, including politicians.

Wikileaks given data on Swiss bank accounts

17 January 2011 Last updated at 17:39 GMT :courtesy BBC News

A former Swiss banker has passed on data containing account details of 2,000 prominent people to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

The data - which is not yet available on the Wikileaks website - was held on two discs handed over by Rudolf Elmer at a press conference in London.

Mr Assange promised full disclosure once the information had been vetted.

Mr Elmer is scheduled to go on trial in Switzerland on Wednesday for breaking bank secrecy laws.

The banker, who has given data to Wikileaks before, was fired from Swiss bank Julius Baer in 2002.

"Evidently disgruntled and frustrated about unfulfilled career aspirations, Mr. Elmer exhibited behaviour that was detrimental and unacceptable for the Bank, which led to termination of the employment relationship," the bank said in a statement sent to BBC News.

"After his demands (including financial compensation) in connection with the dismissal could not be satisfied, Mr. Elmer embarked in 2004 on a personal intimidation campaign and vendetta against Julius Baer," the statement read.

Serious Fraud Office

Although it was not confirmed what activities might be covered by the data Mr Elmer has passed on, the Wikileaks head noted that previous data from Julius Baer provided by Mr Elmer had shed light on tax evasion, the hiding of proceeds of criminal acts and "the protection of assets of those about to fall out of political favour".

The data covers multinationals, financial firms and wealthy individuals from many countries, including the UK, US and Germany, and covers the period 1990-2009, according to a report in Swiss newspaper Der Sonntag.

"Once we have looked at the data... there will be full revelation," said Mr Assange, who is currently on bail and confined to the UK due to an extradition request from Sweden.

The Wikileaks founder has been accused of sexual misconduct by two women in Sweden, including having unprotected sex without consent - accusations he denies.

Speaking at the handover event at the Frontline Club, he said the data would be vetted before publication.

It was difficult to say how long this would take, he said, although he suggested it could be as little as two weeks.

The vetting would depend on the volume of information and how it was delegated, Mr Assange said.

Other groups - such as the Tax Justice Network or financial media outlets - might be asked to help in the vetting process, he added.

Mr Assange also said some information was likely to be handed over to the authorities - mentioning specifically the UK's Serious Fraud Office - as was the case with a previous leak concerning Icelandic banks.

'Baseless accusations'

Julius Baer has dismissed Mr Elmer's accusations.

"The aim of his activities was and is to discredit Julius Baer as well as clients in the eyes of the public," it said in the statement.

"With this goal in mind, Mr Elmer spread baseless accusations and passed on unlawfully acquired respectively retained documents to the media, and later also to Wikileaks.

"To back up his campaign, he also used falsified documents and made death threats against employees."

The banker's latest revelations also relate to other Swiss banks.

A spokesman of the Swiss Bankers' Association (SBA) told the BBC his country was "a sophisticated, well-regulated international financial centre with some of the strictest know-your-customer rules worldwide".

Jean-Marc Felix - an SBA board member - insisted that the country complied with international standards on tax matters, and the banking community supported moves to set up bilateral agreements with the UK and Germany to introduce a withholding tax on accounts of citizens from those countries.

'Fire-breathing dragon'

"I'm against the system. I know how the system works," said Mr Elmer at the press conference. He said a sophisticated network existed to funnel illicit money into secret offshore accounts.

"I've been there. I've done the job. I know what is the day-to-day business," he said, explaining why he thought it important to identify himself as the source.

The banker, who worked as Julius Baer's chief operating officer in the Cayman Islands, said he and his family faced pressure akin to "a fire-breathing dragon with several heads" after he decided to blow the whistle.

He said he was put in prison in Switzerland for 30 days for violating Swiss banking rules, and that he was offered money and the withdrawal of charges against him in order to buy his silence.

The data included the offshore accounts of about 40 politicians, he said, and covered accounts at three banks, including his former employer.

The banker also said that he and his wife had written a letter to German Finance Minister Peer Steinbruck, offering to provide the data for free, but received no response.

Mr Elmer - who runs his own whistle-blowing website - said the data he was providing had been passed to him by various sources that he would keep anonymous.

"I am taking the responsibility for this," he said.

Mr Assange was making a rare public appearance during what he has called his "house arrest"

He is already facing trial in Switzerland for a previous data leak, and has admitted breaking some laws.

However, Mr Elmer claimed he did not breach Swiss banking secrecy rules, as he said all of the information related to the Cayman Islands and therefore lay outside Swiss jurisdiction.

WikiLeaks' Julian Assange 'taking precautions' after death threats

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says he and his staff are "taking precautions" after politicians in the US suggested those responsible for publishing secret diplomatic cables should face the death penalty.

2:27PM GMT 03 Dec 2010

Mr Assange is under intense scrutiny worldwide after his website began releasing a selection of more than 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables passed to the whistle-blowing website.

Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate, has called for him to be hunted down like the al-Qaeda leadership while other members of her party have directly called for a capital sentence againstWikiLeaks personnel.

"The threats against our lives are a matter of public record," Mr Assange said in a Q & A on the Guardian website. "However, we are taking the appropriate precautions to the degree that we are able when dealing with a superpower."

The Swedish authorities are also seeking Mr Assange over a charge of rape and sexual assault. Interpol has issued an international warrant for his arrest.

British police requested more information about the penalties Mr Assange could face if convicted, according to a statement on the Swedish Prosecution Authority's website.
