Signing Off Soon

I guess our sanctimonious sys-admin got the hint and started communicating in a more professional manner after I mentioned privacy laws.

If you don't believe you are doing anything wrong, that's fine. I'm not here to change your mind or your behavior. What I'm telling you is the kind of things you are posting violate our terms of service:

From: http://discountasp.net/userpolicy_usage.aspx:

I also never heard back about my request to get information about how my lawyer can send a request for all I.P. traffic logs so that he can begin filing complaints against the blog posters that have sent me death threats. It looks like I'll have to go over his head, perhaps to his CEO.

For all of his threats, my blog is still up on DiscountASP, so I guess the threat of a few slumdogs boycotting the company was pretty worthless. Nonethless, I had to wrap up this business relationship with this final response:

Michael,

Instead of threatening me and lecturing me in a vulgar manner, you could have told me that I am in violation of the terms.

I don't need creepy emails from some sanctimonious punk who wants to "dialogue" with me and act as a my censor. This isn't Iran or India.

And your implied threats of revealing my identity (you know who I am, or at least who pays for the hosting) makes me want to contemplate taking legal action against your company. I have a family and don't need to have them put in jeopardy by some sys-admin who has been bribed or threatened by my enemies, or wants to act like DiscountASP is the Southern Poverty Law Center.

So here's deal, creep -- I am taking my business elsewhere. I don't like to live in fear that someone like you will get a hair up his ass and try portray me as some domestic terrorist and destroy my reputation and violate my privacy.

This whole exchange has been sordid and unpleasant. This is a free country, Michael, and you don't get to run around and demand that people "explain" things to you. If you don't like what they write, you are more than free to take action to terminate the business deal.

BUT YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK, THREATEN ME, AND LECTURE ME. EVER. I AM A PAYING CUSTOMER, NOT YOUR BITCH.

I've already made arrangements to move the domain offshore, and I'll do you a favor and not post this absurd "dialogue" on my blog and mention YOUR NAME. I'm just a blogger, but I know of other people in the insurgency who are a bit more militant. Trust me, you don't want to meet them.

Good riddance, you creep.

- Kevin

I actually think this guy got fired today.

Scheduled Maintenance

I got into a little pissing contest with my domain host after they got some complaints from the slumdog community.

Perhaps not surprisingly, we have received a complaint about your site, itgrunt.com.

Let me start this by saying that we do indeed support free speech, and we do not take action against against "opinionated" sites without due consideration.

But Kevin, when you talk about, "polish[ing] up the USMC-issue Beretta...and aim[ing] for the red dots" you cross the line of free speech and land solidly and unmistakably in the hate speech camp. If I worked at the university you mentioned I would be on the phone to the FBI. Right now. And if you think they would brush off what you wrote as unworthy of investigation, you are mistaken. Trust me, I deal with federal agents as part of my job quite regularly, and they tend to get very wound up over much less.

Please explain this as well; "...corrupt Desi sys-admin at his ISP..." It nags me from under every post on your site. You are preemptively insulting members of our staff who you imagine to be Indian. That's kind of a dumb move, my friend. You dug that hole for yourself, and now you're stuck in it.

We all work in an industry that is being affected by the issues you complain about. Complaining is one thing, lobbying for change is one thing, but threatening or implying the use of violence as often as you do on your site is quite another. You can couch it in clever terms or hide behind your "disclaimer" but it is what it is. We are not children here, so let's speak as men, shall we?

You don't leave us much choice in this matter. I don't want to disable a site that confronts the issues you deal with, I believe they are important. But we cannot be party to continued threats, real or implied.

So you tell me what you intend to do. If you are determined to continue on the same path you've taken, we are not going to be able to host the site. I for one, am not willing to sit next to you in the courtroom if/when this shit hits the fan. But if we continue to support your site after being made aware of its contents, that's precisely the position we'll be in, and we're going to do all we can to avoid that.

So I'm in the middle of transferring my domain to, ironically, an offshore hosting company in Panama.

I expect that the sys-admin who has been sending me the threatening, profanity-laced emails will pull the plug any minute on my site, and it will take a day or two to restore the blog from backups. This hippie freak seems to think that innuendo and double entendre are federal crimes, just because some Indians threatened him.

BTW, I have a few fans at the DOJ, DOL, and FBI. Many feds are ex-military and have better things to do than harass another vet. Now, as for rounding up slumdogs and prosecuting them, well, that is another story.

It is amazing how ignorant the slumdogs are about our laws. Amazing, but not surprising. Laws don't mean shit to the average slumdog. They are just rules meant to be broken or used as weapons.

I just read that even homosexuality was illegal in India, and, though rarely prosecuted, the laws were used to harass enemies. Also, bloggers are frequently sued and arrested in India.

Thus is the nature of the enemy -- a culture that is steeped in corruption and one that does not share our values. That is why the fight is so important. There are millions of them waiting, lurking, plotting, to be deployed to America to shove their vile caste culture down our throats.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Animal Control Rounds Up Slumdogs In Kansas

Who woulda' thunk it? More Indians engaged in H-1B scams.

An indictment unsealed Wednesday charges a Topeka couple and a Colorado man with taking part in a conspiracy to fraudulently obtain an H-1B visa, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Wichita.

Charged are Mahesh Kumar Gangineni, 34, of Topeka, his wife, Komali Donavalli, 34, of Topeka, and Sankar Rao Chava, 41, of Littleton, Colo.

But these slumdogs committed an even bigger crime -- being rude while running a dirty gas station:

Gas station-VISA fraud
Submitted by Doowoopdude on Thu, 07/02/2009 - 12:43am.

I was driving by there about 5pm on tuesday, saw TPD there and the store was obviously closed. I am really glad of it also. The place was usually dirty inside and the people behind the counter were rude. A few years ago they were the nearest place to me when I forgot to pay a utility bill on time. After my 3 or 4th visit to that store I had enough of that place and made sure I didnt have to go there again.

Imagine that! A rude Indian! Tell me it ain't so...

Anyway, here are the details:

Topekans charged with visa fraud
Feds: Topeka couple, Colorado man in conspiracy


An indictment unsealed Wednesday charges a Topeka couple and a Colorado man with taking part in a conspiracy to fraudulently obtain an H-1B visa, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Wichita.

Charged are Mahesh Kumar Gangineni, 34, of Topeka, his wife, Komali Donavalli, 34, of Topeka, and Sankar Rao Chava, 41, of Littleton, Colo.

Also named as defendants are two companies controlled by the defendants: Global Information Technology Services in Littleton, Colo., and Vaishnavi Inc. in Topeka.

According to the indictment, Gangineni and Chava created false paperwork to make it appear that Gangineni, who owned a gas station in Topeka, was doing contract work as a computer programmer for Chava’s company, Global Information Technology Services.

Relying on Gangineni’s fictitious employment with GITS, Gangineni and Chava submitted fraudulent paperwork to the government seeking an H-1B visa for Gangineni.

An H-1B visa provides workers who have specialized knowledge to reside in the United States while they are working and potentially to receive legal alien permanent residence status, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

As part of the scheme, Chava mailed what appeared to be payroll checks from Littleton, Colo., to Gangineni in Topeka. From Aug. 16, 2006, to Dec. 17, 2007, Chava sent 22 checks totaling $77,440 drawn on the accounts of his company, GITS, to Gangineni.

During the same period, Gangineni’s wife wrote checks to Chava so that Chava would continue to support the ongoing visa fraud by mailing what appeared to be payroll checks to Gangineni.

In return, Gangineni reimbursed Chava for the payroll checks by sending him checks from his company, Vaishnavi Inc. In a separate count, Gangineni and Donavalli are charged with structuring financial transactions totaling about $2 million at four Topeka banks to evade the Bank Secrecy Act, which requires transactions of $10,000 or more be reported to the federal government. If convicted, the defendants face a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on the conspiracy charge and a maximum penalty of five years and a fine up to $250,000 on the charge of structuring transactions to evade making federal reports.

Gangineni is being held in custody, and Donavalli isn’t in custody, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. No further details about their status were available Wednesday.

Chava, who was arrested in Colorado, is being held in custody in Denver until a hearing Monday to determine if he is entitled to post bond. A magistrate judge on Tuesday appointed the federal public defender’s office to represent Chava “until the defendant retains private counsel,” according to court records.

The Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of Labor investigated the case. Special assistant U.S. attorney Jared Maag is prosecuting.

Castrate A Collaborator

Ross Hunter, a retired Microsoft executive and the one of many "Manchurian Candidates" that India, Inc. has planted in America, is a Washington State Representative who is now running for Kings County Executive.




This vile anti-American pig has seen fit to sponsor a bill that would give slumdogs the same tuition as AMERICAN CITIZENS:

"Under House Bill 1487, which takes effect July 1, the foreign workers would qualify for the same tuition rate as state residents if they have been in the state at least a year on certain kinds of temporary work visas, such as the H-1B.

The measure passed amid a roiling budget crisis and hundreds of millions of dollars in cutbacks to higher education. It was nicknamed the "Microsoft subsidy bill" by some lawmakers who say the software giant and its workers surely could afford to pay the higher tuition rates.

Subject to lively legislative debate, the bill received little attention outside the Capitol. An analysis put the immediate tuition revenue loss at the University of Washington at about $430,000, with potential for bigger losses in future years, and about $215,000 at Washington State University.

State Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, the bill's sponsor, retired from Microsoft in 2000 after 17 years. He said employers in his Eastside district sought the provision as a tool for recruiting foreign talent."

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2009366983_tuition22m.html

It is time to castrate this corrupt collaborator.

Let me put this in perspective for you. Let's say a Marine comes back from Iraq or Afghanistan and is stationed in Puget Sound. Perhaps he has a Purple Heart. He has killed people that looked a lot like SLUMDOGS.

And let's just say he has a year left in the Corps, and wants to go back to school, say, at the University of Washington. Now, since he is probably not from Washington (very few jarheads are from that state full of liberal pacifist pussies), he has to pay out-of-state-tuition. I know this for a fact, because when I was at Camp Pendleton, I was considered a resident of the state of Texas until I moved off base and established state residency, and only then could I pay in-state-tuition.

But to become a Huskie, it takes just a little bit of cash.

LIKE $24,352.

But RAJ, our booger-farming slumdog, gets to go to UW for $7,677.

Now, if I had just done two tours in Iraq, and one in Afghanistan, and almost got killed, and spent my days blowing away people that looked a lot like RAJ, I would be a bit pissed about paying FOUR TIMES THE TUITION OF A SLUMDOG.

I might just polish up the USMC-issue Beretta, and march right down to the admission's office of UW, and aim for the red dots.

That's just me.

The offensive will be simple. All the INSURGENCY has to do is donate $14.87 to his opponent, Dow Constantine, or one of several others running for King County Executive. This will send a message, and money.


Anyway, WashTech was leaked AN INTERNAL MICROSOFT DOCUMENT that laid out the plan to subsidize college tuitions for SLUMDOGS.

“Rep. Ross Hunter pushed through legislation at Microsoft’s behest to extend in-state tuition rates to white collar professionals who are temporarily stationed at Microsoft on corporate visas –at the same time that Washington State lawmakers removed $1.5 billion from education, laidoff 2500 teachers, [and] slashed health care.” – Bright Future Jobs

Bright Future Jobs broke the story of the grassroots campaign – started by techs in Washington state – against Ross Hunter, now running for King County Executive. The campaign is asking everyone to donate $14.87, in protest of HB 1487, to any opponent of Ross Hunter of their choice. You can see the candidates and their websites here. The Primary Election is on August 18.

http://blog.washtech.org/?p=92

I don't give a shit if you are a Democrat, Republican, or Communist. SHOOT THE FUCKING LOCK OFF OF YOUR WALLET AND DONATE $14.87 to one of these people:

• Larry Phillips http://larryphillips.com
• Stan Lippmann http://tinyurl.com/ld6n52
• Alan Lobdell www.alanlobdell.com
• Susan Hutchison www.susanhutchison.com
• Dow Constantine www.dowconstantine.com


Ross "SLUMDOG DICKSUCKER" Hunter MUST BE DEFEATED.

Already, WashTech and IBM Alliance are mobilizing to turn Ross Hunter into another Harris Miller, and pathetic immigration lawyer who got his ass kicked by a great Marine, James Webb.

Desi Picks Indian Outsourcer, and Drug Data Is Hacked

Looks like the massive hack of Virginia's Prescription Drug Database is the result of an outsourcing deal to notorious Indian human trafficker, HCL (of "American tech grads are “unemployable” fame):

"Aneesh Chopra, President Obama's choice to serve a federal CIO, may face questions during his Senate confirmation hearing today about his use of outsourcers as head of technology in the state of Virginia.

Aneesh Chopra, appointed last month as the federal government's chief technology officer by President Barack Obama, may face questions at his U.S. Senate confirmation hearing today about his use of technology outsourcing in his previous post as Virginia's secretary of technology.

Chopra is slated to face questions from members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation during a confirmation hearing later today.

In 2007, Virginia signed an outsourcing contract for content management systems with HCL America Inc., ( download pdf) which is part of HCL Technologies Ltd. in Noida, India. The Virginia Information Technologies Agency does allow work to be performed at HCL facilities in India though individual agencies can add security requirements for offshore work, said Jerry Simonoff, director of IT investments and enterprise solutions for VITA.

Chopra was named to the Virginia post in 2005, just after the state government approved a 10-year, $2 billion agreement with Northrop Grumman Corp. to outsource the state's IT infrastructure, including its help desks and data centers. At the time, officials said the state's IT infrastructure was out-of-date and about half of its IT equipment was more than eight years old."

http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=58F0A02E-1A64-6A71-CE753895F2FC3B90

Now, some people can't get their meds, thanks to India, Inc.:

Some doctors are holding off prescribing painkillers after a hacker accessed more than 35.5 million of Virginia's most sensitive prescription drug records two months ago, a state official told a legislative panel Monday.

Lawmakers probing the state's computer services bureaucracy, the Virginia Information Technologies Agency, also learned that its former director was dismissed earlier this month after refusing to pay VITA's contracted partner, which had missed key deadlines.

Hearings Monday by the House Science and Technology Committee and a Senate Finance technology subcommittee focused on VITA and its $10-year, $2.4 billion contract with Northrop Grumman after years worth of state agencies' complaints over high costs and long service delays they have experienced from the partnership.

Lawmakers intensified their scrutiny of the six-year-old agency created to consolidate the state's diverse and far-flung computer systems after the Prescription Monitoring Program was hacked on April 30 and after the dismissal of former VITA chief Lemuel Stewart.

With the prescription database still offline two months after it was accessed because of FBI and state criminal investigations and work to upgrade the system, some doctors are reluctant to prescribe highly addictive painkillers such as Oxycodone, Vicodin, morphine and Valium, said Sandra Whitley Ryals, director of the Department of Health Professions.

"I do not have any indication, however, of how many that might be," she told the panel.

An Honorary Indian Insurgent

Some of you readers may think that this is purely an Indian-bashing site. But if you read through the almost 200 posts and 10,000+ comments, you will find this forum to be open and vibrant. I myself like to think I am an equal opportunity hater -- if you are a corrupt, inept fuck-up, I'll write about you, regardless of your race.

It just so happens that the Indian-dominated H-1B lobby has incurred my wrath of late, and nothing is worse then to be the target of a pissed-off Marine with a weapon. In this case, my weapon is this blog. That, and my Beretta.

And every now and then, I get a comment from an Indian disgusted with this blog, but also honest about the impact that the venal forces of India, Inc. have had on the impression Americans have of honest Indians. Here is one such response:

"It is incredibly amusing to see how hard you try to 'expose' an Indian connection (and therefore, incriminating evidence lol) in every accident, fraud or other unfortunate event that you see.

I agree that your cause is genuine and deserves attention. Offshoring and visa abuse are causing wage depression and unemployment in the American IT sector, no doubt about that. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded or lying. However, you lose any and all credibility you had by employing your current method of 'protest'. I'm afraid to show you the way of Gandhi; you'd probably dismiss him immediately as a near-naked dalit slumdog motherfucker! ;)

My parents worked very hard to be able to afford an excellent education in one of the greatest countries of the world for their child. I worked very hard to earn my Master's degree and land a decent job. I sincerely believe (and have consistently proven) that I am good at my job; my American superiors have not given me any reason to believe otherwise. I hope you agree that I have a legitimate claim at living the American dream (please pardon the tired cliche).

Btw, inciting hatred and violence is not covered by the First Amendment as far as I know... but I have been wrong before. The people who read your blog and take to violence will be stupid butthurt idiots anyway.

Finally, I do not care if you are racist; that is a problem that only you (and the law) can help you(rself) with. This slumdog sincerely wishes you good luck! "

Now, this guy seems like a nice Desi. Note the absence of Hinglish, like "ur", "bcoz", "i will rape ur daughter in front of your wife", etc.

I have no qualms with this sort of Indian. What I do hate is the shower-shoe wearing booger-farmer that has arrived on our shores in last decade. You know, the creep that went through the 3-week I.T. boot camp in India, and now is being shopped around by his Desi bodyshop as a "Sr. Software Architect".

That, readers, is a SLUMDOG. We in the INSURGENCY know the difference between an Indian immigrant with an MBA from an American university, and a dowry-chasing scumbag here to make a quick buck.

So, like the American forces in the 'Nam welcomed the help of the vicious Hmong tribe, we in the INSURGENCY welcome the contribution that real Indian immigrants can make to the cause.

It's not like we are a bunch racists rednecks. Many of us are minorities and immigrants. In fact, some women are the most active members of the insurgency.

So if you honestly despise Indian-on-Indian exploitation, misogyny, bigotry, and all the other facets of the India offshoring/outsourcing industry, you should do something else besides threatening to sue me, plotting on ImmigrationVoice.org how to invade my privacy, and sending me death threats.

Clean up your own house, Desis.

More Victims Of Indian Offshoring

I'm a bit late to the story about how the recent Washington D.C. train wreck may have something to do with the fact that the WMTA (Washington Metro and Transit Authority) used a contractor that outsourced ALL THE CRITICAL COMPUTER WORK TO INDIA.

I've been a bit busy dealing with the media and publicizing the plight of the American techie in the midst India, Inc.'s campaign to ethnically cleanse non-Indians out of I.T. I even got some press on Business Week after chatting with writer Moira Herbst:

Others seem less enamored. "While I do admire Matloff and find his work to be substantial, his contribution to our cause has been academic and largely ignored by the I.T. industry," says "Kevin," who publishes a blog that routinely refers to Indian tech workers as "slumdogs" (itgrunt.com). "THAT IS ONE ARTICULATE [expletive]", wrote Kevin in a post in April referring to Matloff. (Matloff distances himself from "Kevin" and his Web site and says his views are "unrepresentative.")

http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2009/db20090626_585028.htm

It is amazing how you create some controversy by quoting a racist slumdog CEO dissing Americans and follow it with the picture of a young Indian laying in an Australian hospital bed after getting his ass kicked.

Trust me, the two are not unrelated.

Now, back to the news...

You readers should know that, with the help of a few slumdogs, people are now dead.

American people.

Here's some notes from the blogosphere:

"Primary contractor for the DC Metro is Optimal Solutions & Technologies(OST)...

...Vivek Kundra has many connections to OST. He was even on their board.

..But that wasn’t the only reason Kundra put Optimal Solutions and Technologies in charge of nearly 100 subcontractors eager for a piece of as much as $75 million a year in technology contracts.

And what about the role of Optimal Solutions and Technologies, a D.C.-based company founded in 1999 by Vijay Narula?

Though allegedly Acar and Bansal violated city rules by regularly meeting and talking, Narula said his company, which has about eight employees assigned full time to the contract, was powerless to detect such behavior.

Remember Sushil Bansal? He was the one that was arrested and jailed, and was the reason the FBI raided Kundra’s office. Acar has been charged with bribery.

OST is heavily involved in our transportation infrastructure. They even have an FAA Software Design and Development Services Contract. Vijay Narula is their CEO. OST’s contracts are some of the most important in the nation because they involve public safety, and yet it’s very difficult to find out where Narula was born–he is very much an enigma. Try finding his biography with Google, and get back to me when you find out something.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Awards an Information Technology Contract to Optimal Solutions and Technologies (OST, Inc.)

GRPA is another outsourcer that does business with the WMATA. They have offices in India, and perhaps they send some work there...

GRPA is considered a minority owned business, which gives them a large advantage over other companies that want to win state contracts. The company name explains their minority status: G.R. Patel & Associates, Inc."

http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2009/06/24/dc-metro-crash-and-outsourcing-questions-the-msm-is-unlikely-to-ask/

OMG! Slumdogs are now a protected minority that gets preference for government contracts??? WTF?


Here's what 2Truthy had to say:

According to the press release, BS also has strategic relationships with multinational project engineering companies such as Forster Wheeler, Bechtel, Fluor Daniel and Montgomery Watson who successfully use Bentley technology to run single virtual teams across countries including India.

Computer failure may have caused Tuesday's fatal DC Metro train crash, according to a preliminary report by the NTSB as they search for clues to explain why the computerized system designed to prevents such disasters failed. Outsourcing/insourcing American jobs to cheap, dubiously “skilled” third world workers is not only hazardous to the financial health of American citizens and the economy but to the U.S. population's health and safety.

http://tootruthy.blogspot.com/2009/06/dc-metro-crash-computer-failure-likely.html

Even the programmers are on to the link between shitty slumdog coding and DISASTER:

"Also, the company that WMATA outsourced its work to seems to have programmers located in India - so low-quality, low-wage work might be a cause as well."

http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?joel.3.762119.16

And of course, www.guestworkerfraud.com was one of the first to break this story.

I've already written about how offshoring loan approval work to India contributed to the sub-prime meltdown.

Now, after years of rampant offshoring to the Land That Time Forgot, aka, India, we are reaping what we sow. Financial disaster, and tragedy.

What did all these "offshoring to India", "hire any one but an American", "bring me a cheap H-1B" cheerleaders expect when they sent critical pieces of I.T. work to a country that SUPPLIES ONE THIRD OF THE WORLD'S ILLITERATE POPULATION? That is correct -- every third illiterate person in the world is an Indian.

And now people are dead.

THERE WILL BE RETRIBUTION.

Indian CEO Says Most US Tech Grads "Unemployable"

This post got almost 1,000 responses on Slashdot:

theodp writes "When questioned about his firm's US hiring, Information Week reports that Vineet Nayar, the CEO of the Indian outsourcing giant HCL Technologies, showed he can stereotype with the best of them, telling an audience in NYC that most American tech grads are 'unemployable.' Explaining that Americans are far less willing than students from developing economies like India, China, and Brazil to master the 'boring' details of tech process and methodology, the HCL chief added that most Americans are just too expensive to train. HCL, which was reportedly awarded a secretive $170 million outsourcing contract by Microsoft last April, gets a personal thumbs-up from Steve Ballmer for 'walking the extra mile.' Ballmer was busy last week pitching more H-1B visas as the cure for America's job ills at The National Summit."

As is typical of the most arrogant, bigoted culture in the world, they have overreached. Nayar has now incited millions of American techies.

Don't be surprised if the attacks that started in Australia migrate to our shores.
