Nepal's constitutional jeopardy

Continued in-depth coverage and insights by Bell…still, he only briefly mentions the foreign agents (diplomats, INGOs, donors) subsidizing and motivating (directly and indirectly) the miscarriage of duties by the entitlement gang.

Hopefully, he will soon take aim at ill-informed, ill-acting foreign agents, particularly the ones controlling massive funds that give themselves and the political establishment enough leverage and clout to continue a deadly game of charades for all but themselves.

The following regarding the aid paradigm in Africa relates directly to everywhere that ‘aid’ runs unsupervised …

'The Revolution Will Not Be Funded'

INGOs and foreign agents, with all due respect, please go home...your hearts might be in the right place...and effects on a one-to-one basis might be terrific  -- overall the effects of non-emergency aid are a total disaster and holding down the very people and communities advertised as being lifted up.

With all due respect, please get yourselves out of the way and let the talented and capable people follow up on their own dreams and skills without interference from wayward bureaucrats and an establishment with unmerited power (bolstered by INGOs and foreign agents directly and indirectly).

'Volunterrorism' in aid-ridden Nepal

For the people traveling overseas to effect change in a faraway country, may the Himalayan trekker’s adage light the way, ‘The Himalaya might change you, please do not change them.’

My apologies if the message is harsh, especially to the rare aid worker making a true diffeence...however, the effects of foreign intervention on a country I love has been deathly harsh. Therefore, I feel the need to speak out now more than ever as Nepal re-builds.

If anything, work to free people of oppressive governments, that is the best that we can do for those of us who cannot resists getting involved one way or another. Then the freed people will be free to pursue their own dreams and life with their own skills and talents.

RE: [Shamefully] Awkward Moment

Brilliant wordsmith Mahabir Paudyal very perceptively describes the open dirty secrets that everyone already knows about and from which lethal suffering results...Office holders and government and I/NGO administrators have for decades robbed able and talented Nepalis of a chance to move Nepal forward with their own dreams, capabilities and efforts.

The following are excerpts from Awkward Moment, an Op-Ed in My Republica, 23 June 2015:  

"Most of what happens within these agencies—such as how most things they do is limited to paperwork, how only staffs benefit from grants and assistance—remain hidden. INGOs are often manned by privileged people who are often critical of the government but defend their position or stay quiet for fear of losing their privilege."
"One doubts government ministers and donor representatives will be able to visualize these disturbing images while they are shaking hands, faking smiles, exchanging pleasantries, and serving or being served with sumptuous meals inside a comfortable hotel in Kathmandu."
"It will be no surprise if the conference ends up being a mere ritual."
