  • Oct7-2010--two militants killed in mohmand
  • Oct7-2010--CJ says he is following constitutional activism even though he clearly suggests that they are frightened judges under military rule... many think the courts are merely dabbling in politics and have been unable to decide real issues like tariffs and prices, electricity shortfalls, loan writeoffs, political and beaurocratic corruption and have many suggest even been taking sides in political campaigns and literally rubbing salt into the wounds rather than making concrete effective decisions...
  • Oct7-2010--Obama report card--pakistan military strategy continues tobe to avoid conflict and engagement with alqaeda and like minded forces..pakistan army said tobe under resourced and only engages militant opposition that does not flee...emphasizes keeping routes open and disrupting and displacing extremists without completely wiping them out...pakistan army conducts small scale operations in south and north waziristan but keeping to communication routes or roads and avoids targeting fleeing taleban or going after them into deeper areas...The US on the other hand does not avoid even targetting known allied positions whether afghan or pakistani...
  • Oct7-2010--two drone attacks in north waziristan kill 11. Another report suggests that the man being trained to head al qaeda in britain may have been killed in drone attack while supposed intelligence operatives listened in to a gathering of top militants in the fata...
  • Oct7-2010--the US leaning PPP coalition is unable to determine why the US has such an animosity prone attitude towards its supposedly most important ally and while they are supposedly consulting on drone attacks at teh ISI level teh rest of the US forces in the area have an anti pakistan viewpoint which has resulted in helicopter invasions recently and a devastating attack on a border checkpost...many suggest that teh US future in the area may be moving towards a completely anti pakistan posture and relying on afghanistan and india...many say Obama has threatened to missile over 150 sites in pakistan if a future terrorist attack in the US succeeds...?pakistan has got a meaningless apology for the attacks...while they were threatened with dire consequences and a stoppage of aid on the failed faisal shehzad attack...
  • Oct7-2010--many suggest that as the PPP veers of to the right and allows the economy to teeter on the brink of devastation and their anti people animosities become clearer a forward block could be formed against the zardari- gilani clique...many say as many as six-23 mna's could be forming a block that could topple the military puppet gilani...?
  • Oct7-2010--Yusuf Raza gilani and Asif zardari issue pathetically conciliatory appeasement feeling gestures to musharaf while party colleagues see them as traitors to the cause and urge cases of treason against a person who can at best be described as a mohajir US agent...musharaf who has been railing and ranting at the PMLn made fun of the PMLn leaders jag punjabi jag naara and refusal to even protest punjabi killings in balochistan as a defence for killing of akber bugti......while the PMLn reacted by saying that it was'nt punjabis who were working on sindudesh,pakhtunistan and jinnahpur strategies despite wanting punjabis to be aware of teh ethnic animosity in other provinces and at the center...musharaf many say might be one of the military men who ran the mqm...!!
  • Oct7-2010--over fifty nato oil tankers set on fire in quetta and nowshera killing at least one driver and setting a nearby hotel on fire...
  • Oct6-2010--two militants killed in swat
  • Oct6-2010--Shah Mahmood qureshi also allows widespread nepotism in low level hirings at teh foreign office...while ambassadors all over teh world are known to stuff embassies with their children while everyone thinks that they are actually ISI spooks(ambassadors and their children)...the foreign office is generally considered to have been a relatively professional ministry but now all those employed by the present regime either were the ministers sifarishis or the officers or the peons...
  • Oct6-2010--Government planning to turn Nepra into an announcement body and giving it tariff determining and implementation powers...the government should do away with nepra as it just okays whatever is put in front of it...government is going to increase electricity tariffs by over 50% and lower unit consumers are going to suffer heavily...the rates seem unreasonable at best as production charges for gas, hydel, Gencos, and wind are still very low...since IPP's have paid of their financing costs they too should be made to reduce rates...
  • Oct6-2010--In karachi a key seminary teacher was shot dead by probable shiite gunmen...many blame the government/mqm for running a suicide squad against former SSP men especially in the karachi region...while rehman malik issued a warning of an attack he did nothing to stop it...
  • Oct6-2010--152 Nato trailers and tankers detained at chaman as pakistan uses their supposed importance as a trade route to superimpose some sense into the americans..nato trailers many say are importing contraband goods...
  • Oct6-2010--two soldiers killed in roadside explosion in north waziristan
  • Oct6-2010--The kurram excursion/invasion by US forces many say was a deliberate attempt to cow down pakistan even further as the supposedly hilltop post was clearly visible and there could not even have been any element of hot pursuit involved ...most of the afghan border is not even suitable for cross country raiding parties...many say Petraues is trying to create an afghan identity for himself...using the anti pakistan feelings in the afghan ruling apparatus to increase his personal power...many suggest that the pakistanis should also retaliate without thinking and have the border covered with stingers at important places...
  • Oct6-2010--the next important coup date maybe early november many say when junior generals could coup the extension ridden COAS an obvious euphism to topple teh floating PPP regime...zardari may have immunity many say but if he participates in decision making of teh criminal kind than nobody maybe able to save him...the immunity many say is given because the president is only a ceremonial position and in theory incapable of extortion or corruption ..apart from corruption in mutton and apples.....but if zardari acts as a primeminister for sindh, yusuf raza gilani a primeminister for multan and shabaz a primeminister for punjab than the constitution does not have much worth...zardari many say is turning into an extortionist in sindh...?
  • Oct5-2010--eight german militants killed in drone attack
  • Oct5-2010--two nato trailers torched kalat as standoff continues

  • Oct3-2010--police and lawyers in pitched battles as a bar wants district sessions judge in lahore
  • Oct3-2010--18 militants killed in kurram as helicopters bomb hideouts...drone attack kills 15..as officiials attack border post attacked by americans forces
  • Oct2-2010--Pepco which consisted of the renamed member(power) deptt in wapda has been wound up and distribution companies will now have to buy electricity directly from NTDC which will buy from gencos, Ipp's and wapda...The distribution companies are well placed to be profitable as they get electricity at very low rates and according to Pepco the power system was making a 60% profit...what they do to create losses is unimaginable as power rates are calculated by adding losses and profits...Government as usual increased power rates by 2%..independent distribution companies will obviously cause further losses as they setup shop...western IMF/ADB consultants want a CEPCO todo the actual power purchasing
  • Oct2-2010--A retired baloch general abdul qadir who i think has been a corp commander and governor balochistan shouted in the national assembly that unless pakistan takes on the invaders they will one day invade us overland and we will humiliatingly sit and watch as pakistan is devoured by teh USA...general Petraeus called the laid back Kiani to offer regrets and the land route remained closed...many wonder what the american objective is in attacking pakistani posts...the humiliatingly cowardly zardari-kiani-gilani triangle had better do something right to straighten out the american mindset...
  • Oct2-2010--two killed as 29 nato oil tankers set ablaze in shikarpur and khuzdar
  • Oct2-2010--two news about mohajirs...the former mohajir army chief thinks an apology is all he needs to get back into politics and pakistan...as british police confuse people by suggesting that they have just found a knife and a brick used to kill imran farook while suggesting that they are looking for two asian types with the press suggesting that imran farook was about to teamup with musharaf...many people suggest that the sudden killing of an out of news political exile can only be if he runs afoul of his party or his wife...others suggest that the killing of mqm's political opponents on an almost daily basis in karachi could also have been a motive although imran farook was said tobe sidelined although some say that he was still calling the shots...many point the finger at altaf hussein who has been unable to accept dissenters amongst mohajirs typified by the literally snuffing out of teh mqm-h thru similar murders and political victimisation...
  • Oct1-2010--The mqm which basically is propped up by karachis richest has come out against a hefty flood tax as Asif Zardari and Yusuf Raza Gilani unable to get flood financing from teh west...Asif Zardari should realize the nature of teh country he lives in with literally a 10% rich class sitting on top of a mountain of poverty...taxation whatever its shape always hurts the poorest section of the populace...the government should stop waste in many sectors and only spend in priority sectors of flood relief and power system shortfalls...and they will find considerable funds to spend on flood reconstruction...If the Government is unable to control tax and price hikes than it would be best to wind up the finance ministry and let the whole sector float...governments inability to control price hikes is due to hikes in exchange rates, power tariff hikes, food price instability and excessive taxation...
  • Oct1-2010--The Nato supply line was blocked at Torkham and a convoy of nato tankers set on fire in shikarpur...american helicopter attacks killed three FC personnel on Kurram in the third helicopter invasion designed to cow down the weak pakistani regime and military...On the other hand the CIA chief refused to stop drone attacks despite not finding any major training site or group of guerrillas who are anyway unable to infiltrate afghanistan or cause any mayhem in the west...
  • Oct1-2010--The SC a strange body of confused judges which is more political than judicial has reserved judgement after hearing the 18th amendment case...the judges seem tobe leaning against tampering with the right to amend a constitution by the national assembly but have many doubts about some of the amendments character and viability and whether the sense of teh constitution has been changed irrepairably...the constitution has been basically totally destroyed with the government at the center having little todo but appoint army chiefs and wringing their hands in dismay at one problem or disaster after another with a primeminister who says that it is not my responsibility to solve teh countries problems...the SC could declare many of amendments unconstitutional or ask the government that since they are not a constituent assembly to put the amendments to a referendum vote...or simply put they could just say the old judges appointment system was good enough and change only that...others say that the PPP did not have the mandate to massively change teh constitution and the SC can strike down the whole amendment as ultravires of teh 1973 constitution...The court could also attempt to reenact teh 1973 constitution in its original shape...
  • Oct1-2010--It was proved by the allahbad high court that india is a hindu state and not secular in any way with every hindu working to as they say to destroy babri mosques and occupy their lands...hindus all over india whenever a land is earmarked for a mosques construction they throw a moorthi there at night and declare it a hindu site of prayer...the same thing happened at Babri...the moghals constructed a mosque...and the hindus suddenly realized that it was ram's janam bhoomi and put up two moortis outside to pray to when a hindu temple exist a stones throw away...hindus dont want coexistence and the mosques land was divided into three with one portion going to a group of wrestlers...the same thing happens when hindus demonstrate the indian police give them full protection...but if muslims protest they get fired at...one judge even came out with a statement that the decision was made on a communal basis...on the one hand they say that an occupiers rights cannot be challenged after a certain time in india and on the other they are divying up a mosques land...after almost five centuries...the indians should become hindus and provide full security to minorities and minority religious sites...i wonder what the world would do if the pakistanis destroyed a christian temple and allocated the land to wrestlers or such some thing...minority sites have protection the world over and the indians too should stop desecrating themselves and hinduism with lies and animosity prone decisions...manmohan should shave off his hair and than declare that india is a secular state...on the one hand they propagate symbols of religions on their bodies and than say they are secular...??
  • Oct1-2010--another heap of major generals promoted with two FC commanders amongst them...Usually FC commanders never got promoted as there usual duty used to comprise patrolling the streets after riots.....DG's MI and Operations overlooked...general Kiani has a particular liking for FC commanders as he also promoted teh FC sindh rangers despite having been superceded...The present Fc commanders promoted also look like teh superceded type...showing that the pakistan army does not have much expertise amongst major generals serving in the corp headquarters doing literally routine duties...The three FC commanders in sindh , nwfp and balochistan have had to deal with violent movements and uprisings and even political murders...Saleem Nawaz running almost independently in balochistan probably had a hand in the elimination of Akber Bugti and his promotion can at best be termed ill advised...however he has eliminated small tribal uprisings in various baloch areas...and kept the taleban in check viz the nwfp..eight major genrals promoted as waheed arshad takesover as CGS and Kiani protege Zaheer ul Islam(who probably also had the job of preventing any coup in islamabad) gets the difficult position of Corp Commander karachi..Jameel Haider takes over as commander startegic forces...The two key appointments might well be FC commanders in nwfp and balochistan as they handle key anti terrorism duties..many suggest that major generals might also be involved in many terrorist incidences at various corp HQ's which than have tobe handled or snuffed out to be considered for promotions...

how bhuttos got into politics in 1958...

debacle in Dacca

debacle in Dacca
total humiliation...India had steadily destabilized east pakistan over twenty years playing on ethnic, financial, development and military concerns...pakistan was not that rich at that time and the ethnicists played on phsychosis generated by cyclones, floods, tea and jute...the army and west pakistani politicians could not accept a bengali dominated government and a small army contingent could not defend against the mukti bahini and the indians as teh US withdrew its support as usual...When teh going gets tough teh US chickens out as usual...!! The indians have continued teh same themes in karachi, sindh and balochistan but similar tougher responses have not allowed their success although pakistan is now at best a divided land with a pathetic center...!!While it left pakistan numb at the time many now feel the seperation was a proper solution as east pakistanis did not get along with pakistan and they would be better able to solve their problems with india...others still pine away for the lost land of rivers, tea and jute...others suggest that india should handover kashmir in exchange...while some still want to repatriate those considered pakistanis and left stranded in bangladeshi camps...others however heave a sigh of relief as teh problems with the remaining provinces are generally insoluble.....and ethnic regionalism or provincialism mixed with economic and racial nonsense is not a pleasant mode of politics anyway...

allah be praised

allah be praised
allah be praised...i do own forty factories but the people think i am a pauper...i really donot need sarkari umra's....please allah i did not promise imran khan the government when he fell off the platform...cant u make him my slave and not ask for recounts...!
