• Dec31-2011--The SC overlooks charges of being traitors but agrees that the memo must be investigated and approves a very high powered commission consisting of three high court CJ's...it means that the SC regards that such conduct is akin to treason whether mansoor ijaz or hussain haqqani were acting on the PPP regime's orders or acting on their own to topple the PPP supporting top military officials...Asma jehangir who also referred to herself as a traitor too said it was the darkest day in the judiciaries history which is obviously contempt as she is not discussing teh contents of teh case but critisizing unnecessarily the CJ and his nine judge bench...The issue is bigger than a persons fundamental rights and strikes at teh core of governance and became a bone of contention between various organs and ministries...The army chief was said tobe extremely angry at teh PPP attempt to make him resign via Admiral Mullen...The ISI chief usually a god of wobbly governments also came out looking like a rogue...

• Dec30-2011--In what is being seen as another defeat of teh PPP regime it allocates 20 canals in H-11/4 for jamia hafsa directly to mullah aziz..mullah aziz oversaw the jamia hafsa which was the center of an alleged insurgency as women and militants stockpiled a small quantity of weapons and burned down an adjacent government library...and than withstood a military seige before commandos moved in to eliminate the remnants who did not leave...the head of the commandos was also shot dead by a sharpshooter from teh mosque...

• Dec30-2011--The iranians who have demonstrated some backbone in teh region now say that they will block the straits of Hormuz if attacked but did not trouble a US flotilla in teh area...many doubt that teh iranians can retaliate against israel and US bases if attacked...but they can trouble shipping in the hormuz...
  
• Dec30-2011--The army pathetically seen as weak and US controlled sends Pasha to Qatar to tell teh americans that any further attacks will result in retaliation and they had better take action against the mohmand attackers...many say the daily visits of american generals to pakistan were seen as subjugating the government and army and pakistan was considered at best a US base..The situation is similar to the early sixties when teh US used to fly U-2's over russia from badabher..many say the pathetic asif zardari/Gilani were duped pro US agents who supported teh US invasion of abbottabad in the belief that Ossama ben Laden had ordered the elimination of Benazir Bhutto...many say the the government's weakness is only for a few f-16's and literally teh US has a anti pakistan posture in congress and the white house...Pasha is seen as one of the weakest ISI chiefs in living memory subjugated to teh army chief as well as teh PPP regime...he has literally destroyed relations in the region as well as the situations with afghanistan and the USA...many say the PPP used to say that they would have teh USA eating out of their hand but the USA did the same thing all over again and literally pushed pakistan into a corner box from which they have been unable to come out as they are seen as a subjugated duped country unable to run their own country with their own policies...
  
• Dec30-2011--Asif Zardari who is teh most pro american president yet barring musharaf ridicules US support of qaddafi and mubarik..The PPP regime had been frightened of supporting even the Libyan movement...many suggest that the arab movements are US supported generally even though the ben laden supporting former rulers and teh emerging islamic parties are generally thought tobe anti US too...others suggest that the weakened hold of ossamma Ben laden and eventual elimination had freed the arab islamic movements who are moving against dictatorial and family rule...and supporting some sort of democacrcy in teh shape of elections...The arab countries have been held hostage by monarchies and socialistic-dynasty dicatatorships...the islamic parties have generally supported dictatorships or some type of caliph type islamic dictatorships but now feel that they have a popularity base to participate in elections and win...The US a dubious supporter of any government that is falling will support whatever comes to power there...Asif zardari too can be considered a government about to fall one way or the other...
  
• Dec30-2011--the pathetic Asim Hussein who has been unable to control supply of gas in punjab suggests that he is going to close down CNG stations..asif anybody is worried about CNG stations...in many areas of rawalpindi gas has gone missing until the early hours of teh morning...if there was going tobe a gas problem than gas should first be closed down in the hot south and the decision should have been taken in end november...After a month of problems to domestic users he now says that he is going to act against teh PMLq supporting CNG stations...Gilani apparently advised him to wait for the next elections before taking a decision..!!

• Dec28-2011--The PPP shows at the Benazir mazaar showed that their popularity is falling fast even in sindh...The PPP many say has survived due to benazirs assassination and the army has not couped because many think that it was involved in the act and senior army officers still feel guilty as teh bhutto family had long links to the army...investigations many feel have been smothered by teh PPP regime...amongst the many culprits thought to have been involved in teh benazir assassination are asif zardari/Gilani...teh duo that benefited most,a string of people assassinated in karachi including several PPP loyalists, , chaudhry shujaat/ijaz ul haq/PMLq thru their terrorist links, sheikh rashid whose area many say was rife about the planned attack and obviously musharaf and the countries agencies...others point to the sindh chief minister who knew the timing of the karachi attacks and the mqm whose terrorist links are now acknowledged by many...raja riaz says the names are known although others feel that a second sharpshooter is yet tobe located and that the PPP had clear information relating to the attack and that people close to teh family including sherry rehman and rehman malik knew or were complicit...others refer to a taleban coordinated murder group and a person who ordered the attack from karachi or sindh...many also believe that zardari's father was considered a benazir opponent and could have been involved...

• Dec27-2011--The PPP tries to pacify/appease the edgy army duo of kiani and pasha as Gilani confers with the chairman joint chiefs on possible replacements...many say it would hardly make any difference if the two musharaf men were sent packing...The PPP's attempt at having them resign via american persuasion has backfired and many think that they would definitely have to fire pasha or sent hussain haqqani to jail for treachery aka treason...

• Dec26-2011--The new political sardar urf quaid in teh making Imran khan ran over altaf hussein in karachi as a huge jalsa in karachi ensured his reputation as the man to beat in teh next elections as Asif zardari worriedly tried to makeup with Nawaz Sharif... as the PMlq started to disappear into the imran khan dust cloud...many suggest that the nawaz sharif's reputation as a fake opposition is becoming clearer...
  
• Dec26-2011--gilani urf "seraiki provincial" first rediculed teh uneducated sounding ashik awan and than refused to accept her tearful resignation...apparently she ensured him that PTV would project him as the seraikist on his way to permanent retirement...an information ministry hopeful from karachi was used to ridicule her handling of teh information ministry
  
• Dec26-2011--The egghead or "ahmeq" Gilani suggests that he is still preparing the lists of teh countries problems at the end of his fourth year in power...elections at best have tobe held in early 2013 which is just over a year away and he still does not know how to solve the problems...so afraid is he of tackling problems himself or dealing with the real problem's ie the two pasha's that he just issues a statement that i have ordered that the circular debt be resolved...he than forgets to check on what has been done until another year goes bye...many suggest that general kiani is a reluctant coup plotter while Gilani is frightened of firing teh two failures ie kiani and pasha...worried over where he would be sent by teh over the hill kiani if he tried to fire him...

• Dec25-2011--The PMLn under attack from both left and right comes out in support of the embattled army chief whose belief in democracy is considered suspect..Gilani supposedly attacked the army chief in parliament and teh top PPP leadership very treacherorusly tried to have the military chief removed thru admiral Mullen...Kianis democratic credentials seem suspect given his behaviour in opposing anti PPP parties and refusal to accept that teh government has any right to replace him...many suggest that Asif Zardari who seems frightened of Gilani is almost a lame duck...he seems to suggest that teh PPP is in power due to teh power of the bullet and that elections should supposedly be around teh corner...
  
• Dec24-2011--The PMLq run by a dying breed of pro military politicians realizes that it will be wiped out if it hangs onto the PPP...many of teh anti PPP...PMlq supporters are making a beeline for the PTI with the rest restricted by being in parliament...The PMLq has been dented by shabaz sharifs refusal to allow local bodies elections in teh punjab...The PPP too might find that the PMLq votebank has vanished by the time the next elections in punjab take place

• Dec24-2011--After karachi was retaken by teh police the mqm many say now wants to start troublemaking in teh seraiki center of multan...having failed to make karachi a province altaf hussein and Gilani want to create trouble and divide teh punjab...others suggest that the mqm was involved in the bomb attacks on Benazir in karachi which were blamed on seraiki militants...he suggests more universities and medical colleges in south punjab...already the seraiki areas get more medical seats around 4000 in teh current punjab medical colleges and there are three not two medical colleges and an engineering college...Punjab does not discriminate in the matter of education like karachi and seraikis can get admissions everywhere...textile mills in the extremely hot environment would be counterproductive with karachi and faisalabad having discriminated against the entire country in teh matter of industries...Gilani has however set up a new textile industrial area in karachi rather than the seraiki areas which are teh major cotton producers...Altaf hussein and Gilani again want to pit one area and ethnic group against another in their ethnic disorientation...multan mostly concentrates on the handlooms sector and the ginning sector while karachi loots the entire cotton crop of teh area...
  
• Dec24-2011--The pakistani taleban again frustrated the pakistani government and military by storming a military fort in Tank killing one soldier and kidnapping 17...
  
• Dec24-2011--Imran Khan might be in the making of a very big move by netting the estranged Javed Hashmi who was apparently not convinced by Nawaz Sharif's hirelings...Hashmi holds some of the strings of nawaz sharif's popularity and it could mean many more seats for teh PTI...Javed Hashmi was in some sort of suspicious negotiations/meetings between the MQM and the americans to topple the government but many suggest that the mqm backed out of the deal and Javed Hashmi apparently opposed Nawaz Sharif's refusal to back seraikistan..he also apparently accused Nawaz Sharif of leaving the country like altaf hussein when in trouble...when Nawaz sharif came back he quickly replaced Javed Hashmi with Chaudhry Nisar and that was not appreciated by the those who had fought the martial law administration...many suggest that he was supporting teh seraiki Gilani and was sidelined by the party leadership...
  
• Dec24-2011--The army chief backs down but warns teh government that he will not accept convoluted attempts at removing him and teh ISI chief...The army chief probably only belatedly realized that Admiral Mullens attempts at making him resign were indirect attempts by Gilani and Asif Zardari to make him move on ...The army chief interprets that as interference in his responsibilities in all matters of internal and external security...many have blamed General Kiani of sitting around watching as teh americans insult pakistan probably also at teh instigation of teh ruling goons...The Armed Forces should have retaliated against both teh Abbottabad and Mohmand incidents...The PPP now wants to fire teh defence secretary who told teh SC that they have no control over teh armed forces...
  
• Dec24-2011--The CJ who had been part of a panel of judges who approved teh musharaf martial law now says they would not approve another military takeover...the military would just have to use other means to knock out the current rulers and bring a more compliant or workable democracy...people now see teh failure of leaders thrown up by a suspect agreement between politicians and terrorists...The system has government leaders sitting around doing nothing or attempting to fool people while they enjoy their holidays in dubai and france and increasing the suffering of teh general population...while they prop up the rich and influential such as sugar barons and CNG station owners...and insult the people and the armed forces...by price hikes, and restricting electricity and gas for domestic users...
  
• Dec23-2011--JUI-f says that teh US has a terrible record of invading and dehumanizing people...They spent $320 billion on the Korean invasion(1950-53) killing 1.5 million , $686 billion in teh Vietnam War(1964-73) killing 1.3 million and spent $744 billion on two gulf wars(1990-2011) killing 100000 and spent $201 billion on teh Afghan war(1979-2014)killing one million...americans are cruel and unfriendly as a people...

• Dec23-2011--Imran Khan suggests that Asif Zardari be forced to take a medical test to find out whether he suffered a stroke or not and his mental abilities be gauged...
  
• Dec23-2011--The Election Commission refused to obey SC orders saying that it cant prepare new rolls by Feb23 and if an election is ordered it would have tobe conducted under the old rolls...many feel that a failing government is raising so many court cases that teh SC CJ should order new elections rather than keep on handling political cases...
  
• Dec23-2011--Rumours of a government military divide on teh issues of pushing things under teh carpet...with a controversial failed/failing ISI chief doing whatever he does and an army chief at odds with the US and a PPP regime literally refusing to handle things properly whether they be bringing to trial anti pakistani ambassadors or handling gas and electricity distribution or ending teh insurgencies in afghanistan and pakistan even though they are now willing to reach a solution...many suggest that Kiani who has resisted a coup could finally fall for the power that a martial law government gives thru ruling thru an unchallenged dictatorship given teh wobbly PPP...which many feel would be a relief for ordinary pakistanis driven to teh edges if despair by a a government driven by provincial egos...
  
• Dec22-2011--A parliamentary committee also reluctantly opened the issue of teh memo case which is already subjudice...Asif Zardari has yet to file his reply in teh SC given the variation found in teh various government responses and being theoretically teh prime accused..!!He also reluctantly arrived in islamabad amongst suggestions that he could be on teh way out for good...The SC also asked the EC to complete electoral rolls by Feb23 which could be interpreted as teh SC interfering in teh independence of teh EC or that it might order new polls itself given teh PPP regimes lack of stature and credibility...and the ineffective primeminister literally being dragged along by events...!!!
  
• Dec22-2011--The countries democracy was further shown tobe just facial when teh defence minister said he had no control over teh actions of teh armed forces and the ISI...The government had earlier shown its inability to replace kiani and pasha after they had completed their terms...Pasha supposedly is now serving without an official extension...The ISPR belatedly said that the ISI chiefs trips to middle eastern countries seeking support for Asif Zardari's removal were not verified or verifiable...The whole issue has its base in teh armed forces reluctance to move against US helicopters that raided abbottabad...and whether Pasha and kiani were in on the operations details...The ISI chief should theoretically report to teh primeminister but he apparently is subordinate to teh army chief but operating as an independent entity without any control by teh supposed democracy...The army chief considered a major supporter of the regime supposedly has had a breakdown in relations with Asif Zardari and teh american armed forces that he proudly showed as his strong point earlier as both in connivance with outside forces sought his removal...many suggest that the army also regards itself as independent in operations and promotions...and has a huge budget which they are now wasting on building DHA cities in karachi when teh country has no gas or electricity...their budget is so huge that they have been building roads in Fata and running some part of the countries politics in remote baloch areas and strife torn swat and fata...theoretically they waste probably around 50-100 billion every year on DHA projects...the national assembly now has a four line budget mentioning the generalized size of teh armed forces budget...Is this democracy or military dictatorship with a PPP front...?

• Dec21-2011--Dawn up in arms against the DPC which they say bands together over 44 ISI controlled groups which include jihadis, sectarianists, orthodox mullahs, revivalists and ISI controlled politicians..they are said tobe a reaction to the army and PPP adopting a clear appeasement subjugated approach on kashmir, india and the US..suggestions that they are moving towards a political presence in teh next parliament in a move likened to the more conformist MMA grouping...with even afghanistan apparently willing to attack pakistans borders the teh Hafiz Saeed led group who is also supposedly the LT boss which is credited with mounting a few attacks inside india which are considered tobe retaliations for the indians subjugation of kashmir thru violent suppression of divided groups of radicals in kashmir and terrorism inside pakistan and acts such as teh bombing of teh samjotha express which are linked to the indian army...The government has to realize that since their economics is anti people relations with teh US should not be given such a high priority that it destroys teh image of a country as a whole...
  
• Dec21-2011--Hussain Haqqani tells abbottabad commission that he acted on government instructions...which clearly puts teh blame on teh top PPP leadership...about abbottabad and teh memo...!!It is now quite clear that the top military and political leadership have been acting against the state of pakistan in these cases...

• Dec20-2011--The SC says that it will not accept PPP jibes at its handling the memo case..Gilani and his goons have been mocking the memo case...
  
• Dec20-2011--rumours about asif zardaris elimination from pakistani politics have persisted...many have questioned the reasoning of a 3 hour army chief meeting with the double dealing Gilani while another report suggests that he will soon move on to a permanent retirement home...The ISPR apparently confirmed teh rumours seeking strict action against the memo criminals said to include asif zardari...This despite the backing down of the PMLn...many have also suggested that asif zardari/Gilani were behind teh elimination of Benazir Bhutto...The PPP has already started to experiment with Bilawal Bhutto but given teh anti people PPP politics he is not expected to create any further enthusiasm for the PPP...
  
• Dec20-2011--protests lead by teh PMln blocked traffic in islamabad and rawalpindi due to all day gas outages...with people unable to cook or remain warm protests have mounted...gas is only available in teh early morning showing teh poor control of SNGPL and the government...Gilani had tobe airlifted from teh airport and Bilawal fled rawalpindi after the protests...

• Dec18-2011--Gilani trumpets knocking down army chief in memo controversy as pakistans known enemy James Jones affidavit filed by PPP lawyer in defence of teh memo...James Jones acknowledges the memo but seems to try and protect the PPP's former ambassador...many suggest that teh army chief allowed Asif zardari to return and saw teh memo controversy as a PPP attempt to paper over US attacks on two border checkposts...The PPP many say has been almost toppled by just the rumour mill showing its terrible situation and that of teh country...it is only the weak army chief that has let Gilani off the hook many say...
  
• Dec17-2011--22 militants and a security man killed in upper orakzai...
  
• Dec17-2011--Maulana Abdul Aziz of the Lal Masjid says they will rebuild the jamia hafsa despite government disapproval...many think the jamia hafsa women who did not leave after their education at teh seminary were behind teh collection of weapons and were considered frightening by most people...compared to teh terrorists headed by mullah ghazi...many of the women seminary students were killed in a brutal attack by the pakistan armies commandos...in which over 400 were said to have been killed...mullah aziz presided over the lal masjid fiasco and was jailed in over 20 cases..he had attempted to escape in a burqa......many suggest that PPP appeasement of terrorist radicals included the mullah aziz release from legal challenges...As the military encircled the Lal masjid the terrorists attempted to fight back but were eventually defeated by trained commandos/FC and a lack of real fighting ability...That has led to an almost four year war of attrition thru suicide bombs and militant attacks all over pakistan...Fighting continues in the nwfp and fata...
  
• Dec17-2011--PMLn leaders ask SC to recall wajid shamsul hasan the UK ambassador for saying that pakistan had been informed ten days in advance of teh Ossama attack and teh military only moved after the US helicopters had left...many claim that there was top level consultation on teh Ossama attack and that the army and ISI chiefs were involved in information transfer and planning..The ISI chief was in washington during teh days preceding the attack just as he was during the 9/11 incident......The US and the pakistan army had a falling out on whether they had prior knowledge of teh Ossama residence...many suggest that since teh US had come to the region to get Ossama they should now get out...The US backing out of financial aid mechanisms for pakistan as it usually does when it has achieved its aims in teh region...!!The army and ISI were pathetic in suggesting that they had no knowledge of teh US monitoring of the Ossama residence over a long period of time...!!
  
• Dec17-2011--The apparently bedridden Asif Zardari says he cannot be removed for physical or mental incapacity although getting half the members of teh assembly to sign a petition would be difficult in itself...although he does suffer from paranoia about pakistani doctors...this is teh first case of somebody going to dubai for medical treatment...!!many say altaf hussein will now send the karachi poor to dubai for medical treatment...!!
  
• Dec17-2011--many say that the pakistan situation is fast developing into a non government/non governance...with a chalak seraiki vizier, sada looh jhelimi salar and beemar (benazir ka waris) president and a pathetically silent parliament and an ISI playing both sides "kabhi coup kabhi zardari..."others say that the hand of gilani can be clearly seen behind the memo while the president is said tobe fighting an imaginary disability removal if not impeachment...still others say that zardari logon ki hamdardi ke liye beemar hua he...they say PMLn hun gal nahin kar sakdi...us tarf jayen to imran is tarf ayen to zardari...donon hi qabile qabool nahin.....and that his illness can usually be handled by a normal hospital doctor...standard medications exist for such situations...others suggest that with the government paying little heed to teh peoples problems the PPP democracy is of little importance as they hardly care for teh suffering of teh people...any ordinary intelligent person could have kept teh problems within limits showing teh PPP inability to deal with emerging or changing situations...ie "sab kuch ho rahe he aur kar kuch nahin sakte..."
  
• Dec16-2011--Haqqani and Ijaz Mansoor apparently referred to teh Army and ISI chiefs as bad boys while there is also talk about a discussion of a coup by pasha on a middle east trip...while the zardari presidency which really did not take off because of its isolated PPP-sindhi perspective maybe fatally doomed as Asif zardari might now also be a fatally flawed president given teh memogate purview...as well as having an illness that could be debilitating enough to cause him to resign because of disability(apart from being unable to preside from islamabad and frightened of teh pakistani medical community)...The military replies to teh SC suggest that an investigation should be initiated while teh government suggests that the SC interest is irrelevant...while the nature of pakistani coups is always surrounded by unreality many should not doubt that they can be initiated at any level of army officialdom although generals have been adroit enough to control most coups upto now...and the ISI's actual job is to monitor any subversives and coup planners apart from those initiated by the general himself in teh armed forces...
  
• Dec16-2011--six killed in FC action in Turbat
  
• Dec16-2011--The PPP's flawed economics sees four fertilizer factories closing down in punjab as the dollar climbs into teh 90's...!!gas problems increase in teh punjab as SNGPL unable to handle even domestic gas supplies...last year saw gas problems right thru to march while this year problems started a month earlier...
