| The Biography of Wade Michael Page, the Killer of Oak Creek Shooting Posted: 06 Aug 2012 10:33 AM PDT
Michael Page, 40, a United States Army veteran who served as a specialist from 1992 until 1998, was shot and killed by police in the parking lot of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in suburban Milwaukee. Page was in the Army from 1992 to 1998. He trained at Fort Sill, Okla., and served at Fort Bliss in Texas and Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Page worked as a repair technician for the Hawk missile system and later was detailed to Psychological Operations as a specialist. Page rose to the rank of sergeant before being demoted to specialist and leaving the military in 1998. In June 1998 he was disciplined for being drunk on duty and had his rank reduced to specialist from sergeant. He was not eligible to re-enlist. Later Page was discharged from the Army for “patterns of misconduct”. Officials at the Southern Poverty Law Center said they had been tracking Mr. Page for about a decade because of his ties to the white supremacist movement and described him as a "a frustrated neo-Nazi who had been the leader of a racist white-power band." Michael Page had been a member of the racist skinhead band End Apathy, based in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 2010, said Heidi Beirich, director of the intelligence project at the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama. Michael Page was a “frustrated neo-Nazi” who led a racist white supremacist band. Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the nonprofit civil rights organization in Montgomery, Ala., said Page had been on the white-power music scene for more than a decade, playing in bands known as Definite Hate and End Apathy. ”The name of the band seems to reflect what he went out and actually did,” Potok said.
Page also tried to buy goods from the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group, in 2000, she said. The SPLC describes the National Alliance on its website as “perhaps the most dangerous and best organized neo-Nazi formation in America.” In a 2010 online interview with End Apathy’s record label Label56, Page said he had founded the band in 2005 because “I realized … that if we could figure out how to end people’s apathetic ways it would be the start towards moving forward.” Police were searching an apartment at a duplex in the Cudahy neighborhood near Milwaukee, presumed to be the residence of the gunman. Generators and floodlights were set up along the street and a bomb squad was on the scene. Mr. Page was living in a rented apartment in Cudahy, about five miles from the sprawling temple Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, a suburb of Milwaukee. A search of the Lexis-Nexis online records service showed that Page had lived at least 20 addresses in Wisconsin, North Carolina, Colorado, California and Texas. Joseph Rackley of Nashville, N.C., said that Page lived with his son for about six months last year in a house on Rackley’s property. Wade was bald and had tattoos all over his arms, Rackley said, but he doesn’t remember what they depicted. He said he wasn’t aware of any ties Page had to white supremacists. “I’m not a nosy kind of guy,” Rackley said. “When he stayed with my son, I don’t even know if Wade played music. But my son plays alternative music and periodically I’d have to call them because I could hear more than I wanted to hear.”  |
| Complete Story of Oak Creek Gurudwara Shooting on 5 August 2012 Posted: 06 Aug 2012 09:51 AM PDT Oak Creek Shooting has been the worst attack on Sikhs ever in United States. 6 innocent Sikhs died while 3 were injured after a deadly attack on a Gurudwara located at Oak Creek in Wisconsin, United States. Plot Wade Michael Page, Oak Creek Shooting Suspect A man identified as Wade Michael Page, who served in the U.S. Army for about six years, with heavy build, bald white a and wearing a sleeveless T-shirt came up at the Gurudwara located at Oak Creek. About 300 to 400 people were reported to be at the gurdwara during the time of the shooting . The temple was preparing for a meal which was scheduled to take place later in the day. Page walked up to Satwant Singh Kaleka, the President of Sikh Gurudwara and killed him on the spot. He then stalked through the temple as congregants, including women preparing a meal for services, ran for shelter and barricaded themselves in bathrooms and prayer halls. They made desperate phone calls and sent anguished texts pleading for help as confusion and fear took hold. When a 911 call was made about 10:25 a.m. (11:25 a.m. ET), Police was rushed to the spot and killed the shooter, but one officer got several bullets. The gunman allegedly shot a police officer ten times as the officer tried to help another victim. The officer survived the shooting, but remained hospitalized Monday morning with serious injuries. The suspected gunman was later confronted and killed by another officer. The first officer on the scene, Lt. Brian Murphy, entered a driveway and found a victim in the parking lot. As the officer left his car to help, Michael Page basically ambushed him. Other officers arrived and saw the suspect in the parking lot and asked him to drop his weapon. He didn’t respond, fired his weapon and hit a squad car and was shot dead by an officer. Investigators who picked through the building afterward found four bodies inside the temple and two other victims outside, plus the gunman. The wounded police officer had been shot eight or nine times in the face and extremities at close range with a handgun. None of the wounds were life-threatening. The gunman had used a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, which was recovered at the scene. The children inside the temple taking part in a birthday party in the basement of the facility were among the first to hear the gunfire. They allegedly first thought it was fireworks. When they realized it was gunfire, they were the ones who ran and warned the adults. ReasonAuthorities said they were treating the attack as an act of domestic terrorism. American Sikhs said they have often been singled out for harassment, and occasionally violent attack, since the September 11, 2001, attacks because of their colorful turbans and beards.Some unspecified evidence suggests race or ethnicity may have played a role in the violence, but no links to extremist groups have been confirmed. Witnesses“He did not speak, he just began shooting,” said Harpreet Singh, relaying a description of the attack from the wife of his uncle, temple president Satwant Singh Kaleka. Ven Boba Ri, a member of the temple's committee, said the man started shooting after he walked up to a priest who was standing outside, and shot him. Then he went inside and started shooting. A Lady was in the front room when the shooter walked in. She said the 6-foot-tall bald white man — who worshippers said they had never before seen at the temple — seemed like he had a purpose and knew where he was going. Sunny Singh, 21, of Milwaukee, said a friend pulled into the temple’s parking lot, heard shots and saw two people fall down. The friend then saw the shooter reload his weapons and head to the temple’s entrance, CasualtiesThe victims were identified as Sita Singh, 41, Ranjit Singh, 49, Satwant Singh Kaleka, 65, Prakash Singh, 39, Paramjit Kaur, 41 and Suveg Singh, 84.Parkash Singh, was an assistant priest at the temple for six or seven years. Satwant Kaleka, was the founder and president of this temple. His Son Amardeep Kaleka said his father, who had three grandchildren, came to the U.S. in 1982 with $30 in his pocket. He said he was found with a knife two feet from his body, indicating he was fighting off the shooter. ”My dad has always been a protector,” he said. “He was a hero yesterday.” ReactionsIndia has reacted strongly to the Sikh Temple Massacre at Oak Creek in Visconsin US. Prakash Singh Badal, CM of Sikh dominated Punjab described it as "deeply painful and shocking" the attack by gunmen on devotees at a Gurudwara in the US and urged the authorities there to ensure that the sanctity of religious shrines is maintained. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is a Sikh, stated that he was “shocked and saddened” by the attacks, adding: “That this senseless act of violence should be targeted at a place of religious worship is particularly painful. … India stands in solidarity with all the peace-loving Americans who have condemned this violence.” US President Obama said in a statement that "Michelle and I were deeply saddened to learn of the shooting that tragically took so many lives in Wisconsin," the president said. "At this difficult time, the people of Oak Creek must know that the American people have them in our thoughts and prayers, and our hearts go out to the families and friends of those who were killed and wounded." The mayor of Oak Creek, Steve Scaffidi, said that Sunday was a "tragic day for our city”. “My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims," Mr. Scaffidi said. He added that Oak Creek was an open, diverse community. "The Sikh community is what helps make our city strong," he said. Rana Singh Sodhi of Gilbert, Ariz., had two reactions when he learned of Sunday’s shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin: He asked for more Phoenix police patrols at local temples, and he thought of his brother. His brother, Balbir, was the nation’s first post-9/11 hate-crime victim. He was killed at a Mesa, Ariz., gas station by a gunman simply for wearing a turban.

| Young India desires Social Status, Money and a Girl says Chetan Bhagat Posted: 06 Aug 2012 08:41 AM PDT The Aspirations of of next generation is simple. Job, Girl and a Social Status, revealed by best selling Author Chetan Bhagat. All they desire is ”Meri Naukri, Meri Chokri (My job, my girl)”. “They want a good life and a great girlfriend. If your cause will help them get a good life, then they are with you. That is what young India wants. The social causes must be linked to this ambition,” Bhagat told IANS. The author of best-sellers like “Five Point Someone”, “One Night@The Call Centre”, “Two States” and “Revolution 20:20″, Bhagat has has put together his newspaper articles on the changing India into a volume of non-fiction, “What Young India Wants: Selected Essays and Columns (Rupa & Co)”. The chapters look at an assortment of issues in society, politics, economy and the youth. Two short stories at the end of the book are the fictional elements making for an interesting mix of facts and fiction. Bhagat has strong views about the country’s economy. He pleads that “if India is an agricultural country, shouldn’t we have carried out some massive infrastructure projects across the country”. Bhagat substiantes his claim with an example. “Over two-third’s of our agricultural land is dependent on rain. In contrast, only one-third of China’s land is not irrigated. Developed countries depend very little on rain… Let’s face it, the Indian farmer is not cared for,” Bhagat says. The writer, who was an ivestment banker earlier, said “the approximately 6-8 percent growth in GDP does not talk much about the country’s economic propress”. “New job creation has dropped significantly. We have reached a point again where new graduates who are out of college cannot get jobs. Inflation is the result of the poorly-managed economy,” Bhagat said. There was no one in the government to take decisions, Bhagat said. “It is the result of the divided people that we are. The more divided we are, the more the coalition politics exists. People are more interested in their own communities than the country,” Bhagat said. The writer observed that “India has a warped sense of diversity”. Too many people are making decisions and therefore “there can’t be any consensus”, he said. “The government’s own allies won’t let important decisions being taken.” The writer forecast that in the 2014 election, “corruption will be an issue”. “They (the anti-corruption lobby) have injected that factor,” he said. Bhagat, who now lives in Mumbai, is also deeply involved with mainstream cinema with two of his new books being adapted into Bollywood movies. “The 3 Mistakes of My Life” has been made into “Kai Po Che” by Abhisekh Kapoor of “Rock On” fame. “It is a Gujarati word. When the kite is cut in the kite festival Kai Po Che is the cry of the warrior. The movie will be released in January 2013,” he said. “Two States” will go to the floors in November, Bhagat said.  |

| Garo Leader Champion R Sangma planning Peace Talks Posted: 06 Aug 2012 06:30 AM PDT Meghalaya’s outlawed Garo National Liberation Army’s (GNLA) arrested supremo Champion R. Sangma is exploring the possibility of peace talks with the government, his lawyer said Sunday. “He (Champion) wants to discuss with me the legal proposition (of holding talks),” Sangma’s legal counsel Sujit Dey told journalists here. However, the lawyer said that he had no idea whether the rebel leader was going to start peace talks. “I do not know anything about that (starting peace talks). He only wanted to obtain the legal proposition,” he added. Sangma, whose outfit is fighting for a separate Garoland, was arrested July 30 near the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya. He met his legal counsel Saturday and hinted the possibility of holding talks with the government. He is wanted by police for masterminding several crimes, including killings and extortion in insurgency-ravaged Garo Hills in western Meghalaya, has been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. “These are serious sections under the law and non-bailable offences, but it will be up to the discretionary power of the court whether to grant bail,” Dey said. Moreover, he said that he would apply for the certified copy of the case record after getting permission from the court of the additional deputy commissioner (judicial), East Khasi Hills to further know the charges against Sangma. “We will also seek information in relation to the record of Sangma’s service – his appointment and the circumstances which led to the termination of his service – and whether any service benefit is lying before the government,” Dey said. Sangma, a former deputy superintendent of police, deserted the Meghalaya police and floated the GNLA in November 2009. The outfit, which had been outlawed by the Indian government, forged an operational alliance with the United Liberation Front of Asom and the NationaL Democratic Front of Bodoland, which provided it access to sophisticated arms and ammunition, and enabled it to unleash a reign of terror in the three impoverished districts of Garo Hills. Over 35 people, including security personnel, have been killed in the Garo Hills in the last one year by GNLA rebels, who number around 100.  |
| Corporate Social Initiatives to promote Artistic Culture in India Posted: 06 Aug 2012 05:30 AM PDT A handful of initiatives that have brought big business houses to promote visual art with incentives and new platforms is trying to open an alternative door for Indian art in the face of shrinking government support and a market slump. Two new ventures – the Skoda Prize and the Avani GenNext Award 2012 – are trying to tap into the creative potential of young artists below 45 with cash awards and opportunity for foreign residency to hone their art practice in a global environment. The awards are sponsored by the European carmaker Skoda, a subsidiary of the German Volkswagen Group and the Kolkata-based builders Avani Group. The Skoda Prize, instituted in 2009 by Skoda Auto India and 70 EMG, carries a cash award of Rs. 100,000 for the winner, Rs. 50,000 for a breakthrough artist and residencies for the runners-up in collaboration with the Swiss Arts Council. In Kolkata, leading builders Avani Group has tied up with the city-based Aakrti Gallery to award a “Gen Next” artist under 40 with a cash purse of Rs 100,000 this year. The artist will be chosen from among the participants of the gallery’s annual GenNext exhibition in October by a jury of “four visitor-judges” and an outstation judge. “In the 1980s, corporate houses took interest in art but they probably looked at it as a business opportunity. When the markets slid, they probably realised that arts did not have enough to give back to businesses. Prizes, on the other hand, encourage young artists to work better,” art auctioneer Vikram Bachhawat, director of the Aakriti Gallery, told IANS. Anirudh Daga, the managing director of Avani Group, believes that as corporates “it is the responsibility of the business houses to breathe new blood into art by drawing young artists out to exhibit their work”. “I don’t think visual arts have received enough corporate support,” Daga told IANS, adding that “to support art, one must have an understanding and appreciation of art”. A collector of old and young art, Daga said his business group was “committed to supporting young artists”. Corporate support for visual arts in India battles a perception block that art exists for arts’ sake, fanning debates. “In such a diverse creative field as contemporary Indian art, there are bound to be hugely diverse opinions – including arguments for and against maintaining the purity of art. Frankly, the more opinions expended on Indian art, the more relevant it becomes,” said Martin Da Costa, CEO of Seventy EMG, the force behind the Skoda endowment for art. “India is crying out for a modern cultural renaissance as the success of the Jaipur Literature Festival and the India Art Fair have shown,” he maintained. For long, corporate support to Indian art has been confined largely to collecting. The Taj group of hotels and later the Maurya group had acquired a large body of original Indian art works as lobby and interior decor. The Imperial Hotel in the capital has the largest collection of “British Company Art”. The economic boom of the early 2000s saw corporate houses investing in Indian art for profit. A spate of initiatives by business houses like Reliance, Religare, Emami, Jindal and the Shiv Nadar Foundation have broad-based the exhibition platform for emerging artists across mediums and developed the market for a wider section of buyers with education and guidance. “We have taken a slightly different approach to art. Our focus is on the development of Indian art and the market,” says Amit Swarup, president of Religare Art, which owns a sprawling art display-cum-education space in an upscale south Delhi mall. The financial investment company which diversified into art five years ago “is reaching out to new buyers like corporate CEOs, who have the money to buy art but have not traditionally bought art. They need someone to guide them through the whole process with art appreciation courses. We have been conducting art appreciation classes for a couple of hours every alternate Saturday for the last five months for new buyers. Our clients are mostly financial investors,” Swarup told IANS. “We do not want to target the 200-300 established collectors in the country. We cannot operate in a restricted environment,” Swarup said. Corporate collections of Indian art had become a casualty in the meltdown of 2008, with plummeting prices triggering large-scale sell-offs. The biggest favour that corporate organisations can do to Indian art now is to “cut down on the lavish decoration of receptions and boardrooms and redo them with original Indian artworks,” says Ajay Seth, founder and chief mentor of Copal Art. “We rarely find any original works of art in corporate offices. Just think of a M.F. Husain, Raza or a Tyeb Mehta in the boardroom. I want every Indian corporate entity to invest a portion of its surplus cash in the acquisition of original Indian art,” Seth told IANS. Copal Art has been lobbying with the government “to allow corporate investment in art as deductible expenditure in their balance sheets”, Seth said.  |
