CIA agents among Kerala journalists?
March 13th, 2007
Our current chief minister Mr. Achuthanandan has a unique gift. He can generate huge controversies in Kerala just by joking on a subject (Our late ex. Chief Minister Nayanar also had this unique ability. His speeches were a huge hit just because of humor content. I remember listening to one of his speeches and by the end of it I was almost dead due to non stop laughing. He is alleged to have said - “In america, rape is as common and usual as drinking a cup of tea.” This statement had caused a lot of furor among Kerala feminists).
Coming back to Achuthandan, he said last week that there are a lot of CIA agents working as journalists in Kerala! The only problem is that he himself is not ready to say who are those CIA agents. Now this has an added advantage. If anything damaging to CPI(M) is written by any of the newspapers, you can always put the blame on CIA 
Not too long ago Achu mama has said that there is a VIP behind the kiliroor case. But he never said who the VIP is! Which means if at all a VIP is found, you can say that was the VIP! Pretty clever
No wonder he was able to survive all the internal politics in CPI(M) and was able to become Chief minister even when he had only minority support in party structure.

I hope he was joking about it. Our Politicians are known to say stupid things very seriously.

Due check you facts before writing something. http://www.gulfnews.com/world/India/10110719.html
He said that as an answer to a question raised by congress MLA. Here is what the article says
“The allegation about the presence of a media syndicate [funded by the CIA] has come to notice,” Achuthanandan said in written reply to a question by senior Congress leader Aryadan Mohammad.
Mohammad had asked whether Achuthanandan was aware of the operation of a media syndicate in Kerala that was getting financial aid from the CIA.

Nayanar was a real gem of a man - in terms of his personality, humor etc
incidentally, that nayanar joke went like this “america-il chaaya kudikkuna poleyaanu sex”..
Another one from nayanar when the finance commision chairman NKP Salve came to kerala “give us AIDS”

Why don’t you write about the syndicate?
It is a common knowledge that most of the Kerala Journalists work for foreign foundations especially the ones from the Hindu. Foundations like the MICCI, Frederick Ebert Stiftung, Ford Foundation, Konrad Adeneur Foundation and you name it all have their agents in Kerala.
Why take a big moralistic stand? People who live in glass houses should avoid throwing stones at others.
