Kamal Thapa Is A Nazi

The govt. will foil the general strike: Home Minister Thapa

Home Minister Kamal Thapa has claimed that the four-day general strike (April 6-9) called by the Seven Party alliance (SPA) is in fact the programme of the CPN (Maoist) and said the government will foil it at any cost.

Addressing an interaction organized by the Reporters Club of Nepal in the capital on Tuesday, Minister Thapa said the Maoists had first announced the indefinite strike beginning April 6. “Upon entering into second understanding with the Maoists, the SPA preponed its protest programme beginning April 6. Hence, there should be no illusion that the four-day strike is, in fact, the Maoists’ programme,” said the interior minister.

In response to a query, Minister Thapa said the government had credible information that terrorists had entered into the capital and were likely to infiltrate the general strike and mass rally announced by the opposition alliance. “If we get hold of the rebels, even if they are found participating in the opposition rally, they will be dealt with in accordance with the anti-terror law,” he warned.

Nepal government refers to Maoist rebels as terrorists.

Minister Thapa, however, urged the opposition parties to break up their “alliance” with the Maoists and engage in constructive dialogue with the constitutional forces. He said such a dialogue could take place even if some of the opposition leaders were in jail. He did not elaborate.

The Home Minister said the government had tightened security in the capital and other parts of the country in view of the proposed protests announced by the opposition parties. He, however, claimed that violent activities had gone up in the country and morale of the Maoists had gone up after entering into an understanding with the opposition parties.

The seven party alliance has said the four-day general strike—against the last year’s royal takeover—would be peaceful and would continue unless the king gives up his direct rule. nepalnews.com by Mar 28 06

Today in America's supermarkets and superstores a lower middle income American has access to goods emperors did not dream of a few hundred years back. A poor American can be watching TV and still claim to be poor. Queen Victoria never got to watch TV.

This is 2006, the standards have gone higher. You do not have to subject millions of people to a Holocaust to qualify. Today it is enough that you are part of a regime that has the worst human rights record of any on the planet. It is enough that you have violated people's rights to peacefully protest and have vowed to do it all over again.

Talks are not an option. The 1990 constitution is dead. This is an unconstitutional king that can no longer be imagined even in a ceremonial role. All orders issued by this regime since 2/1 have been illegal. For the army, the police and the bureaucracy to follow the orders of this regime has been illegal, unconstitutional, illegitimate. The sooner all three stop following orders the better.

Kamal Thapa is a clown. He is set to go to jail. The revolution will deprive him of liberty and property.

Kamal Thapa is a Nazi. This guy is a fascist. He stands to be punished for the wrongs he has already committed. It is not possible to hold dialogue with fascists. His punishment will only get worse if he further elongates his list of wrongs.

The people are going to come out into the streets, and there is no force in the country or the world that can stop them. The people are not coming out to request democracy from the king. The king is irrelevant. The people are not coming out to seek dialogue. The people already know what they want. The people want a democracy that they never had. The people want to write themselves a new constitution. Dialogue? What dialogue? Dialogue with whom? You talk with human beings. These are animals.

Kamal Thapa and the rest of the clowns are going to get a Nepali version of the Nuremberg trials. There is no escaping the inevitable. The revolutionary parliament will have the powers to punish these villains.

Military crackdown is not an option. Curfews are not an option. Tear gas is practically chemical warfare upon the people, Saddam style. There are long term health impacts.

Kamal Thapa, Gyanendra Shaha, Pyar Jung Thapa, Tulsi Giri and the rest of them have the option to limit injuries to themselves. They could do some damage control. Get out of the way. The people are on the march. (The King's Clowns And The Baathists Of Iraq)

Release all political prisoners immediately and unconditionally. What that means is you release them and there will still be no dialogue. The revolution orders you to release them. That is why you are going to release them. We are not going to barter with the lives and freedom of our revolutionaries. You release them, and there still will be no talks. You don't release them, and you get a express ticket to hell.

I wish the April 6-9 program were a common program, but it isn't. I wish there were a concrete eight party alliance, but there isn't, not yet. (Needed: Dynamic Agreement, Concrete Eight Party Alliance)

There is terrorism and there is state terrorism, like there is crime, and there is organized crime, the mafia. These are mafioso. What we are dealing with in Nepal is state terrorism. The perpetrators will be punished.

Kamal Thapa, don't you dare get in the way of the peaceful protests planned for April 6-9 across the country. The monarchy's time is up. You belong behind bars.

A non-violent movement for democracy has within its powers to take legal action against you, nationally as well as internationally. And action will be taken.
