2 + 9 =
11 - Symbol of the interior fight, the rebellion and the mislaying which results from it. But it also represents someone who comes out victorious of the tests with the acquired knowledge. Number expressing more than the human sin, it is the sin in general or cosmic. It is the force of witnesses and the Word. Eleven is therefore the number of the martyrdom, the testimony and the prophecy. Number of the knowledge of God, according to Arabs, this one passing by 11 steps. Number in relation to the mysteries of the fruitfulness in the African esoteric traditions. Number representing the individual initiative but exercising without relationship to the cosmic harmony, consequently of a rather unfavorable nature.

LoginKLF - Khalistan Liberation ForceThe Khalistan Liberation Force or KLF was a militant group, and was
part of the Khalistan movement to create a Sikh homeland called Khalistan via armed struggle. The KLF appears to have been a loose association of scattered Khalistani groups.
The KLF Jathebandi (organization) was founded by Aroor Singh and Sukhvinder Singh Babbar in 1986. Other KLF leaders who headed KLF after Aroor Singh were Avtar Singh Brahma[3] (killed by Punjab police 21 May 1988), Gurjant Singh Budhsinghwala (Killed by Indian security forces on July 30, 1992), Navroop Singh (Killed by India on August 4, 1992) Kuldip Singh Keepa Shekhupura, and Navneet Singh Khadian (killed 25 Feb 1994).
The KLF was responsible for several bombings of civilian targets in India during the 1980s and 1990s, sometimes in conjunction with Kashmir separatists. KLF was among the Sikh groups that claimed responsibility for the 1991 kidnapping of the Romanian chargé d'affaires in New Delhi, Liviu Radu. This appeared to be retaliation for Romanian arrests of KLF members suspected of the attempted assassination of Julio Ribeiro, 62, the Indian ambassador to Romania, in Bucharest. Radu was released unharmed after Sikh politicians criticized the action.
In the year 1991, Khalistan Liberation Force along with Bhindranwale Tiger Force of Khalistan and Dr. Sohan Singh (Head of Panthic Committee) etc participated in the secret peace negotiations with India in the city of Ludhiana. These meetings were initiated by Union Minister of State for Home Subodh Kant Sahay on the orders of the (then) Prime Minister of India Chandra Shekhar. It is said that this peace effort was sabotaged by Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence.
Former Indian Intelligence Bureau Joint Director, Maloy Krishna Dhar stated in a press report published by The Hindu
that “Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and her ISI advisers were determined not to let peace succeed. Pakistan’s covert war in Jammu and Kashmir had exploded in 1990, and its establishment understood that the Punjab conflict tied down our troops, and threatened our logistical lines into Jammu and Kashmir.”
The KLF was listed in 1995 one of the 4 "major militant groups" in the Khalistan movement. India, in the 1995 era, alleged that Pakistan provided Sikh militants with shelter and support. The separatist movement was largely crushed in the mid 1990s. In 1999 it was reported that former KLF operative Manjinder Singh Issi, who took part in the Radu kidnapping, became disillusioned with KLF when he realized that its Pakistani supporters were more interested in disruptive violence in Punjab than Sikh autonomy.
Arrests still occur as of 2005.The goal of the Khalistan movement is/was to create a Sikh homeland, often called Khalistan
("The Land of the Pure"), in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Harking back to the 18th century Sikh Empire, the envisioned Sikh state would include all Punjabi-speaking areas in Greater Punjab.
The movement reached its zenith in 1970s and 1980s. Nowadays, it is widely seen as a smaller scale movement. There are claims of funding from other nations to attract young people into militant groups, who are looking to get an independent Sikh homeland through donations from foreign Sikh supporters.

LoginThe assassination of Indira Gandhi and subsequent anti-Sikh riotsIndira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, was assassinated on 31 October 1984. She was killed by two of her Sikh bodyguards, Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, to avenge the military attack on the Harmandir Sahib (Sikhism's holiest shrine, also called "The Golden Temple") during
Operation Blue Star. The assassination triggered fulminant violence against Sikhs across north India.

LoginWhile the ruling party, Congress (I), maintained that the violence was due to spontaneous riots, its critics have alleged that the Congress members had planned a pogrom against the Sikhs. Its critics alleged that State-operated national television was used by the state to incite violence against the Sikhs, in violation of the Article 20.2 of the ICCPR and the Article 7 of the UDHR. Sixteen politicians were named as organisers of the riots. Many senior Congress leader were also indicted. Other political parties, such as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongly condemned the riots.
Two major civil-liberties organisations issued a joint report on the anti-Sikh riots naming sixteen important politicians, thirteen police officers and one hundred and ninety-eight others, accused by survivors and eye-witnesses.In January 1985, journalist Rahul Bedi of the Indian Express and Smitu Kothari of the People's Union for Civil Liberties “moved the High Court of Delhi to demand a judicial inquiry into the pogrom on the strength of the documentation carried out by human rights organizations.
Operation Blue StarOperation Blue Star 3– 6 June 1984 was an Indian military operation ordered by Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, to remove Sikh separatists from the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The separatists, led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, were amassing weapons in that gurudwara.
The operation was carried out by Indian army troops with tanks and armoured vehicles. Militarily successful, the operation aroused immense controversy, and the government's justification for the timing and style of the attack are highly debated.
Operation Blue Star was included in the Top 10 Political Disgraces by India Today magazine.Official reports put the number of deaths among the Indian army at 83 and the number of civilian deaths at 492, though independent estimates ran much higher. The impact of the military assault, its aftermath and the increased tensions led to assaults on members of the Sikh community within India and uproar amongst Sikhs worldwide "The assault, which the Sikhs themselves call the Ghallughara..." or massacre. In India, many Sikhs resigned from armed and civil administrative office and returned their government awards. Some who perceived the attack as desecration of the Sikh shrine pledged revenge. Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards on 31 October 1984 in her garden when she was going for an interview.

On 23 June 1985, the airplane operating on the route was blown up in midair by a bomb in the coast of Ireland. In all, 329 people perished, among them 280 Canadian nationals, mostly of Indian birth or descent origin, and 22 Indian nationals.
The main suspects in the bombing were the members of a Sikh separatist group called the Babbar Khalsa and other related groups who were at the time agitating for a separate Sikh state called Khalistan in Punjab, India. In September 2007, the Canadian commission investigated reports, initially disclosed in the Indian investigative news magazine Tehelka that an hitherto unnamed person, Lakhbir Singh Brar Rode had masterminded the explosions.

LoginSikh militants set up base in M'sia, says Punjab policeThursday, July 29, 2010
The ruthless
Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), a Sikh separatist group, is suspected to have set up base outside Kuala Lumpur, with at least four of its militants in hiding in Malaysia.
The KLF has set up a base in Malaysia to enable the four militants to canvass for support, claim the Punjab police.
The police said they obtained the "vital clue" on the KLF base in Malaysia following the arrest of a suspected miltant at a guest-house in Patiala district (Punjab) last Monday.
NONEThey said the 22-year-old man was linked to a series of bombings in the state, early this year, adding that he was suspected of planting bombs outside a LPG bottling plant in Nabha and the Halwara Air Force station in Punjab.
Intelligence reports reveal he fled to Malaysia, where he sought shelter from another wanted KLF militant who had been residing in Seremban for some time.
"The suspect was staying in Seremban for about a year. We are very much sure the KLF has set up a base in Malaysia because these boys (militants) are going there to get support.
"The suspect had travelled to Thailand by road and later flew to Pakistan to get arms training. Definitely, they are using Malaysia to carry out their activities," Patiala senior superintendent of police Ranbir Singh Khatra told Bernama when contacted by telephone today.
Last Monday's arrest, coupled with the discovery of 15kg RDX from another Sikh militant, of the Khalistan Zindabad Force on July 23, has left the police in a tizzy.
Intelligence agencies now suspect Sikh terrorists based outside Punjab were preparing to create mayhem in Delhi before the Commonwealth Games later this October.
Armed struggleA recent Punjab police intelligence advisory further justified their anxiety: "Certain militants sitting abroad are desperate to push four Sikh extremists into India to carry out nefarious activities."
The KLF movement was started by Sikh hardliners who staged an armed struggle against the Indian government in the 1980s-1990s, seeking a separate Sikh homeland - to be called 'Khalistan'.
Although the group was crushed by Punjab police and later disintegrated, remnants of KLF members now operate from outside India, supported by foreign elements, to strike terror on Indian soil.
"We suspect, at least four more militants are still hiding in Malaysia. We will get the help of the Indian federal government, Interpol and the Indian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur to arrest them," said Khatra.
At the peak of its reign, the violent separatist movement hijacked the Srinagar-Delhi bound Indian Airlines flight to Lahore, Pakistan, with 255 passengers on board in 1984.

LoginIndia will ban 100 Al Qaeda-linked terrorist groups 16-May-2010 04:25:01 PM By: Riaz Khan
New Delhi: Determined to stop terrorist activities in the country, India is all set to formally designate nearly 100 Al Qaeda-linked international outfits as terrorist organisations and ban them to avoid any legal loophole if anyone associated with them is arrested in the country.
Prominent in the newly-revised list of the banned organisations are Jemaah Islamiyah of Indonesia, Islamic Libya's Jihad Group, the Islamic Combatant Group in Morocco, the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, International Islamic Relief Organization, Abu Sayyaf group in Philippines and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.
These groups are said to be linked to the global terror network of Al Qaeda and have been outlawed by the United Nations under the UN Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism (Implementation of Security Council Resolutions) Order, 2007. Indian investigative agencies have been monitoring their activities but were not formally banned in the country.
A home ministry official said there have been no indications that such groups were active or were planning to get active in India but the move to ban them was considered to avoid any legal loophole in case anyone associated with these outfits was arrested. The revised list of banned outfits will be made official soon once Home Minister P. Chidambaram approves it, the official said.
The home ministry has already banned 34 organisations and their allied groups in India including terrorist outfits fighting in Jammu and Kashmir and northeast and Maoists in central India.
The revised list also includes the Khalistan Zindabad Force as one of the terrorist organisations.Three pro-Khalistan terror outfits Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), Khalistan Comando Force (KCF) and International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) are already banned. The step to include Khalistan Zindabad Force comes amid reports that Sikh terror outfits were panning to regroup and revive militancy in Punjab.You are not allowed to view links.

Top Ranking CIA Operatives Admit Al-qaeda Is a Complete Fabricationby Mr. Charrington on January 7, 2008
BBC’s killer documentary called “The Power of Nightmares“. Top CIA officials openly admit, Al-qaeda is a total and complete fabrication, never having existed at any time. The Bush administration needed a reason that complied with the Laws so they could go after “the bad guy of their choice” namely laws that had been set in place to protect us from mobs and “criminal organizations” such as the Mafia. They paid Jamal al Fadl, hundreds of thousands of dollars to back the U.S. Government’s story of Al-qaeda, a “group” or criminal organization they could “legally” go after.

LoginThe Trade Justice MovementThe Trade Justice Movement is a British coalition, founded in 2000, of more than 80 organizations campaigning for trade justice.
The coalition has a particular focus on UK and EU trade policies. This includes the removal of the European Union's agricultural export and other subsidies that result in dumping, and the right of national governments to follow protectionist trade policies in the pursuit of social and environmental goals. Members of the Trade Justice Movement have had a major focus, working with allies internationally, on negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO) since its first public event ahead of the WTO Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar, in November 2001.
The Trade Justice Movement has a present priority campaign on the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), the European Union (EU) is negotiating with its former colonies in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
The coalition also campaigns for effective regulation of the corporations that make up 70% of world trade. In 2006 this included one of the largest UK campaigns of that year with over 100,000 UK voters contacting their MP, resulting in changes to UK company law in the Companies Act 2006.
The Trade Justice Movement includes development and environment NGOs, trade unions, human rights campaigns, Fairtrade organizations, and faith and consumer groups. Current members include:
* ActionAid
* CAFOD, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development
* Christian Aid
* Friends of the Earth
* Oxfam
* Save the Children
* SCIAF, The Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund
* Tearfund
* Traidcraft
* The World Development Movement
The Trade Justice Movement has established a reputation for public mobilization in support of its goals. Its Mass Lobby of Parliament in November 2005 was the largest such event in the history of modern British democracy with 375 MPs lobbied in one day. This surpassed the previous record of 346 MPs lobbied in June 2002, which had also been set by the Trade Justice Movement. In 2003 the coalition staged the biggest national lobby of MPs when more than 500 parliamentarians were lobbied in their constituencies ahead of the WTO Ministerial Conference in Cancún, Mexico, when talks collapsed. In April 2005 the coalition staged the biggest mass protest of the UK election campaign when over 25,000 people filled Whitehall at an all-night vigil.
The Trade Justice Movement secretariat shares the Baldwin's Gardens premises in London with the Fairtrade Foundation, which advocates for Fair trade labeling in Britain. The coalition's current coordinator is Glen Tarman, formerly publicity manager at OneWorld.net.
In 2005 the Trade Justice Movement was one of the networks at the core of Make Poverty History, a UK coalition of more than 500 organizations lobbying for the trade justice movement, debt relief, and increased foreign aid.

LoginTHP - The Hunger Project (New York, NY)The Hunger ProjectMissionThe Hunger Project is a global, non-profit, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger.
In Africa, Asia and Latin America, The Hunger Project seeks to end hunger and poverty by empowering people to lead lives of self-reliance, meet their own basic needs and build better futures for their children.
The Hunger Project carries out its mission through three essential activities: mobilizing village clusters at the grassroots level to build self-reliance, empowering women as key change agents, and forging effective partnerships with local government.
Vision
Our vision of the future is not based on everyone achieving a high-consumption lifestyle, which is environmentally unsustainable. Nor does it permit one-sixth of the human family to continue to live in abject poverty. The Hunger Project is committed to transcending this polarity and creating a future that rejects the inevitability of hunger and recognizes the limitations of a consumerist society.
Achieving the sustainable end of hunger means creating a new future for all humanity, a future where
* every day, every person has enough of the right food to be healthy and productive;
* babies are born healthy and strong, and girl babies are prized as much as boy babies;
* children stay alive, so parents can have smaller families;
* women and girls are full partners in society;
* people have control over their own lives and destinies, and all individuals have a chance to contribute; and
* the values of honoring human beings and nature flourish.

LoginKT - Knowledge TodayKnowledgeKnowledge is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as
(i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject; (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information; or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Philosophical debates in general start with
Plato's formulation of knowledge as "justified true belief." There is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, nor any prospect of one, and there remain numerous competing theories. Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning. The term knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject with the ability to use it for a specific purpose if appropriate.

LoginPlato's Theory of KnowledgeKnowledge is justified, true belief. That is the modern version of Plato's definition. On this view, our beliefs will only count as knowledge when they are true (accord with the objective facts) and when the person who holds the belief has evidence or justification for it.
In Plato's theory of knowledge, reality operates as a standard against which belief and perception can be measured. Belief is created by perceptions of reality.
True belief alone is not the same as knowledge. In order to have genuine knowledge of reality, we must have both a true belief about it and sufficient justification (evidence) for that belief.![]()
