• Nov30-2012--Nepra says power outages to continue till 2020...nepra unable to understand that around 10000 mW capacity is hydel and only 13000MW of other fuel type power plants...with many power plants disabled due to gas shortages, repairs or water levels in dams the effective capacity fluctuates between 10000MW and 15000 MW...That shows a clear shortfall of capacity of upto 8000MW in non hydel power plants...

• Nov28-2012--SC says PPP photographs on government's political adverts unethical...The PPP losing support because of lacklustre policies and attitudes tries to use photographs of Benazir and Bhutto on what amount to political party advertisements at government expense who ruled in the early nineties and 1970's...PPP used to oppose the more than 200 million spent by pervez elahi on personal tv ads suggesting that his 200 rupees to girl students provided education incentives...there is no similarity between teh zardari policies/politics and those of previous PPP rulers...many also oppose using USAID by teh american embassy on unnecessary advertisements...
• Nov28-2012--Sunni ittehad fires leader after he jumps into PMLq while Kaira begs for PMLn support...with so many seats up for grab teh PPP and PMLn have many seats in which they could get opponents elected...PPP rank and file probably will vote PTI on losing seats while teh leadership hopes for PMLn support on such seats...PPP also attempting to get blanket shiite support...Kaira still opposing SC decision to remove the recalcitrant Gilani...

• Nov24-2012--after literally teh collapse of any semblance of normality in karachi and renewed bomb attacks General Kiani met the top two to discuss internal security...given teh coalition's support for terrorist politicos Kiani was told that they preferred teh status quo and teh military should stay out of it...many have suggested that Kiani is now almost a soft sponge for the PPP and mqm and needs tobe replaced...hangu only area tobe under army control on muharram 9 and 10...
• Nov24-2012--The peshawar corp commander Lt.gen Rabbani seems unable to decide whether he can launch an operation or not given teh terrain in north waziristan...the army hiding behind teh ruse that we will only attack if teh whole nation is behind us...This in a dunya tv expose in which north waziristan comes across as a barren landscape where another road to afghanistan seems the only project and teh armed forces looking tobe based away from civilian areas with not too heavy armament concentrations...mostly they deal with cross border infiltrations and attacks from the afghans and other militants...a colonel said we are working on reintegrating teh people, jirga's, maliks and agent...the pakistan army seemingly only capable of mounting small scale operations...the general funnily also suggests that he does not know who he should negotiate with in teh conflict or talk to......given teh history going back to mullah nek mohd he should probably know the factions in north waziristan and possibly where they are located and who their leaders are...negotiations or diplomacy is teh art of ending a war and feelers should always be sent to the opposition in a conflict in an internal situation specifically...if teh corp commander does not know his opposition than who is he going to mount a possible operation against...most militant commanders here donot attack the army...although fata has a long history of attacking army checkposts going back to teh sixties and the re imposition of teh maliks and teh agent will probably not attract the taleban...making teh people do teh armies job seems tobe teh attitude...the army seems tobe against an operation in fata and karachi...the people too donot find killing militant pakistanis or even tribals a happy situation so the army should find a middle road to negotiate teh end of the conflict..if they want the maliks and jirga's to negotiate with teh taleban than a de facto independence of fata must be declared...
• Nov23-2012--The army chief says he cannot accept unilateral decision making even in matters of religious thought but seems to think that karachi is a peaceful city(unilaterally)...many think that karachi is going to teh dogs with teh mqm attempting to eliminate all opponents...

• Nov23-2012--rehman malik fearful of more attacks as teh failing, leaderless, policy less PPP said to be delaying elections so that bilawal zardari teh fake bhutto can lead them in teh next elections...the PPP has generally cut a sorry figure with its distancing from populistic politics and it has only hereditary descendants left as a means to attract teh disillusioned PPP supporters...
• Nov22-2012--The EC has been asked to rectify the listing of 3 million karachi residents in their home towns...The EC had earlier admitted to having 4 million voters whose residence has not been verified...
• Nov22-2012--The terrorists changed tack and attacked rawalpindi as a suicide bomber blew himself up in dhok syedan kiling 14...minor blasts killed two in karachi, three soldiers and two others in quetta and four policemen in Kp...many feel that teh PPP and mqm are encouraging terrorism to support their own politics and policies..terrorism seems tobe closely following altaf husseins policies and the meandering rehman malik who would have been fired in any other worthwhile democracy...the ppp only believes in protecting and fighting for itself... it seems...altaf hussein on teh other hand is opposing a cleanup military operation in karachi where terrorists mostly from teh mqm have a free hand...with no one being arrested after almost three decades of mqm related rioting, turmoil and terrorism...in almost related news teh indian government hanged ajmal kasab secretly who carried out a daunting assault on bombay...supposedly from an okara village he alongwith nine others whose identities were not revealed took off from karachi by sea and landed at bombay and attempted to hold the taj oberoi for three days killing over 164 in various places...supposedly an LT operation the pakistan government shut down two of its centers although no clear link was established with many suggesting that it was planned by teh PPP's ISI in teh early nineties...the terrorism could be related to the hanging although no one claimed teh ajmal kasab body which is buried in a grave inside his jail...
• Nov21-2012--In what seems one of teh crookest CDA actions it gave 450 kiosks to one man for a rent of 1000/kiosk who in turn wanted to book them for Rs200000 each at a rent of 7000...The IHC cancelled teh allottment...CDA is run under teh interior ministry but most decisions are made by teh primeminister...!!apparently the intermediaries wanted to turn islamabads fast fading green areas into bus stands...!!
• Nov21-2012--the pathetic nature of teh PPP regime became apparent as they refused to support a de weaponisation of karachi which has a serious problem but supported an entire country de weaponisation resolution which was an mqm resolution...the mqm governor however teh previous day ordered shopkeepers to arm thelar...Usually asif zardari starts with khape..khape..khape...and ends with pakistan..pakistan..pakistan.many question if any other country would make him president.Also their usual response is "ab hakoomat kiya kare..."when u tell them that "bijli nahin he...""gas nahin ha...""karachi mein qatal o gharatghari band karo" or "taleban se baat cheet karo...""ya army chief hi badal do"...
• Nov18-2012--it almost seems like martial law these days as a lawyer retired col inamur raheem who has filed a case against teh illegality of the army chiefs tenure given that he has reached retirement age...was beatenup near teh CMH hospital in rawalpindi on November 14...and yesterday his son was beatenup by motorcycle riding men who than set teh colonels vehicle on fire...obviously such actions cannot be undertaken by intelligence men without tafter they were released things slowly got more violent...
• Nov19-2012--PMLn which is generally a slow mover when in government wants people to feel teh change...quickly after it comes in to government...the issues that the PPP will leave behind can be resolved but many feel that PMLn policies will further fuel price hikes, power losses unless they can slow down wastage in revenues, control inflation, keep teh dollar steady and reduce power consumption drastically...the only way to control circular debt is to nationalize all power stations and than run them for the betterment of teh country rather than money minting..teh country should realize that further taxation and price hikes are not teh answer but a slower and more achievable development..the state sector should calculate costs at 8% rather than 18% profits...teh country just cant keep increasing power needs without a cave...!
• Nov17-2012--NAB chief refutes allegations that he worked for teh bahria town saying only a few officials in NAB worked for bahria town...the NAB chief's daughter works for bahria town which is staffed by a large number of armed forces ex officials...despite widespread skulduggery NAB has not investigated teh Bahria town whose often fraudulent land transfers cannot be accomplished without outright corruption...The SC too has been slow in handling bahria town cases causing eyebrows tobe raised...PMLn 's Khawaja Asif says navy officials had phoneare not new provinces(most provincial governments are not very popular anyway) but price hikes, power load shedding, social welfare and improper operations of teh countries health system...controlling sectarianism, terrorism, insurgencies are also more important than polio...new provinces in fata and karachi could also solve some of teh problems and carving out a baloch majority province in balochistan...sindh should be given more funds than karachi...etc...these are teh problems that teh PPP has been unable to handle and possibly a popular president who can keep teh country together rather than linguistically torn apart irrespective of government policies...we probably dont need presidents who are always in karachi or primeministers who cant think beyond multan or chief ministers whose eyesight is limited to lahore...but also probably not like the last president that the PMLat the moment...
• Nov17-2012--The failed group of PPP politicians gather in multan as their failure in punjab looms and their animosity to punjab apparent as they try to break punjab by hook or crook...
• Nov16-2012--China's new leader kicks out former leaders from top standing committee...signalling a somewhat relaxed approach unlike his followers in pakistans political parties where leaders hang on until they die...although Gilani teh former premier was unexpectedly asked again to leave the presidency according to reports because he tried to open a loart that dabba pir has to treat everyone equally even more difficult...The whackos of teh PPP never accept anything whether they are teh political situation or SC judgements...apparently their dabba pir aka asif zardari now calls addressing a political jalsa an eid milan party as teh SC says he will have to address PMLn and PTI jalsa's too if they ask him...The PPP wants a review of teh SC judgement on the behaviour of asif zardari since few now think of him as presidential material any longer...apparently the PPP now has little to say at public meetings as they are unable to do anything popular...Usually asif zardari starts with khape..khape..khape...and ends with pakistan..pakistan..pakistan.many question if any other country would make him president.Also their usual response is "ab hakoomat kiya kare..."when u tell them that "bijli nahin he...""gas nahin ha...""karachi mein qatal o gharatghari band karo" or "taleban se baat cheet karo...""ya army chief hi badal do"...
• Nov18-2012--it almost seems like martial law these days as a lawyer retired col inamur raheem who has filed a case against teh illegality of the army chiefs tenure given that he has reached retirement age...was beatenup near teh CMH hospital in rawalpindi on November 14...and yesterday his son was beatenup by motorcycle riding men who than set teh colonels vehicle on fire...obviously such actions cannot be undertaken by intelligence men without the knowledge of senior military authorities and it shows that teh love for democracy is just a thin veneer for army generals and most politicians...most army officials retire when they reach retirement age or have served four years as lt. general or three as army chief...so General Kiani is refusing to retire for the third time in his career...earlier a judge sitting on teh IHC bench hearing teh army generals case was unceremoniously removed from the islamabad high court...
• Nov17-2012--Admiral McRaven says that they suppose pakistan did not know about Osama's residence...or many say even their raid on abbottabad...Such nincompoops our military and ISI...!!...there are suggestions that the US was informed in mid 2010 or much earlier prompting one famous US journalist to write that "Osamma might be living in a big house"...at that time Ossama thought tobe living in some cave...!

• Nov17-2012--suddenly after four and a half years rehman malik bemoans teh children who will die due to the reversal of his ban on bikes in karachi on one day...the PPP has deliberately avoided arresting terrorist leaders and terrorists in karachi...he never thought of that before and many seem to think that the ban can only be initiated by a primeministerial/presidential order as teh interior minister does not have teh necessary powers
• Nov17-2012--domestic consumers to further suffer higher electricity prices as zardari aims to create further problems for them by reducing prices for the looting farmers of the seraiki areas...which have to be paid by teh suffering people from urban and rural areas...domestic consumers paying teh highest electricity rates at the moment...
• Nov17-2012--The failed group of PPP politicians gather in multan as their failure in punjab looms and their animosity to punjab apparent as they try to break punjab by hook or crook...
• Nov16-2012--China's new leader kicks out former leaders from top standing committee...signalling a somewhat relaxed approach unlike his followers in pakistans political parties where leaders hang on until they die...although Gilani teh former premier was unexpectedly asked again to leave the presidency according to reports because he tried to open a locked drawer..he says his family wants more space...he has already got more than enough reperations with three family members in teh national assembly...he also wants immunity from investigation and prosecution in the hajj scandal in which teh Gilanis were deeply involved as well as a drugs scandal...he has also got his wifes loans written off...The PPP many say should retire Gilani and appoint some new person to handle teh multan area...he first opposed a seraiki province and than vehemently started supporting it...many regard it as having negative consequences for the PPP in the rest of teh punjab as Gilani only took an interest in teh development of multan...
• Nov16-2012--Obama seems weak on national security as two of his top generals were having affairs and one women had classified material on her computer...

• Nov16-2012--The CJ says that the SC it has overall oversight over institutions9or intelligence agencies) but has been unable to control illegalities in army appointments..The armed forces say that they have their own jud treats different parts of sindh differently and with apparent bias...
• Nov15-2012--Asif Saeed Khosa who had started going overboard for teh PPP many thought replaced as head of the five member bench by Justice Anwer Zaheer Jamali...who expressed concern at the NAB suggestion that Adnan Khawaja a matriculate jail buddy of Gilani who was appointed OGDCL head may not be indicted as he was nor corrupt or criminally inclined..many had already started to comment that asif saeed khosa would be next CJ if PPP won teh next election..Khosa had stated his friendship for the PPP and many thought he had started nsembly members for such unseemingly negative attitudes...the assembly and primeminister many now regard as lame ducks as elections should many say have been announced long ago...this assembly has been overshadowed by teh supreme court and has been largely ineffective
• Nov16-2012--anorjeel memon came up with the negative arguments that those not supporting the LG law had murdered benazir and supported teh kalabagh dam which has widespread support in teh country...The PPP has been unable to get support for its sindh policies as they are dictated by teh mqm...many stories regard Asif Zardari and senior PPP men as involved in teh benazir murder...PPP has no real arguments to support the LG law which treats different parts of sindh differently and with apparent bias...
• Nov15-2012--Asif Saeed Khosa who had started going overboard for teh teh events were considered as a jalsa or popular event but increasing shiite intensity has made sunnis back out from participation..many regard that remembering such events should be food distribution, having calm meetings or quran recitals..but shiite populations have multiplied and concentrated in cities..the participation in shiism's muharram rituals have also increased...shiites and sunnis differ over the approach to remembering teh past as well as the reasoning of the historical events...theoretically shiite processions which are regarded as not having islamic sanction would have tobe banned for peace on teh sectarian front...but that being impossible as shiites generally control the top echelons of teh PPP and have a substantial population...The argument from the interior ministry generally regarded as lacking in logic and sincerity...the interior ministry logic is that mobile phones and motorcycles were used in murders...their actual responsibility is to arrest teh killers which they are refusing to do...the interior minister has enough information and must realize that it is teh motor cycle riders that kill that have tobe arrested...there is no basic islamic logic to bombing shiite processions or killing shiites or vice versa...apart from extremist opposition to each other...some regard teh challenges to basic religion,the prophethood of muhammed or even allah as needful of protection...most shiites are descended from prophet muhammeds family who belonged to ismaili heritage with most saudis belonging to teh family of one of prophet ismail's twelve sons...jews are descended from one of prophet ibraham's sons and arabs from teh other son...
• Nov16-2012--even teh mqm was supporting musharaf shouted teh opposition as murad ali shah told opposition members to shut up and the anti punjabi sherjeel memon came up with the negative arguments that those not supporting the LG law had murdered benazir and supported teh kalabagh dam which has widespread support in teh country...The PPP has been unable to get support for its sindh policies as they are dictated by teh mqm...many stories regard Asif Zardari and senior PPP men as involved in teh benazir murder...PPP has no real arguments to support the LG law which treats different parts of sindh differently and with apparent bias...
• Nov15-2012--Asif Saeed Khosa who had started going overboard for teh PPP many thought replaced as head of the five member bench by Justice Anwer Zaheer Jamali...who expressed concern at the NAB suggestion that Adnan Khawaja a matriculate jail buddy of Gilani who was appointed OGDCL head may not be indicted as he was nor corrupt or criminally inclined..many had already started to comment that asif saeed khosa would be next CJ if PPP won teh next election..Khosa had stated his friendship for the PPP and many thought he had started negotiating/appeasing teh government rather than acting as a serious judge...!!

• Nov14-2012--PMLn manifesto to have one job(govt. or private) for each family inits manifesto and free treatement for one family member at any state run hospital...The PPP also had a suggestion of one government job per family but has been unable to implement it..The PMLn also unable to understand that there is no energy(electricity, gas or other sources and fuels...coal is just not available for realtime needs) and teh government will have to reduce industrialization, exports and new housing for power to meet requirements...industrialists should setup their own power stations in industrial areas to free electricity for the low end consumers...gas agreements with power producers should be ended...for people with continuous medicine needs state sector hospitals must provide adequate medicines..
• Nov14-2012--As another four people are shot dead in karachi..in a funny move the frightened Faryal Talpur who travels around in benazirs bullet proof vehicle suggests that Asif Zardari and Rehman Malik are not providing her adequate security...Faryal Talpur moves SHC suggesting that her security is not adequate and she needs tinted glasses on her vehicle...all two of Zardari's sisters are mna's...and one even runs teh Sindh PPP going around apologizing and asking dissidents to again support her PPP...!!tinted glasses provide militants and criminals the means of escape even though the police can hardly check teh occupants of all cars without tinted glasses..!
• Nov14-2012--In what is a clear indication of their inability to handle an administration teh mqm walks out of teh national assembly playing the victim card in teh karachi situation when it is also responsible for teh whole situation...mqm plays all aspects of victim, murderer, politician and complainant and obviously suggesting that they alone can win in karachi...since it is a coalition partner it should raise hell in teh sindh assembly...the chief minister is empowered to deal with the police, teh rangers and there is a corp commander in karachi too...Mqm has been sitting in all governments since teh nineties and been unable to handle teh situation or talk about teh situation in teh cabinet meetings where they sit like slaves nodding their heads...The PMLn said karachi is in a civil war mode with extortion and politics the main causes...many suggest that even mqm and other groups candidates knock off any potential challengers...with the ANP characterizing teh blindness of teh mqm to teh situation...and making fun of teh PPP's suggestion that they donot know who is behind teh killings...asif zardari has apparently advised rehman malik to see a phsyciatrist for teh remote possibility that he might recognize the invisible forces in karachi
• Nov14-2012--The constitution says education has tobe free from age 5-16...the national assembly passes a private bill to ensure free education in islamabad but is unable to ban high charging private education which is illegal...

• Nov13-2012--In balochistan the governor went on leave...the speaker became governor and cancelled a proposed provincial assembly session... but teh deputy speaker called teh the assembly session on the recquisition of 19 members...!!!
• Nov13-2012--As violence in karachi continued another 10 were gunned down...The blind mqm points to talebanisation and teh ANP to "other criminals"...in the constant karachi violence...It is also a shock that the mqm does not know who is responsible for peace in karachi...it is basically teh responsibility of teh sindh government and teh mqm...there is nobody else who can control things...teh mqm too started out as students and younger elements obviously are more volatile in every organisation...u probably will not see 60 year old killers firing at someone from a motorcycle...so one will have to brand teh mqm as irresponsible, unrealistic and probably blind although their killing squads are responsible for most of teh deaths...teh actual taleban might be responsible for some incidents...but it is the karachi brand of taleban...mqm, shiites, aswj...others etc... who are doing most of teh killing...it is time to arrest the leaders of teh Shiites, ASWJ, MQM who come out as mostly responsible for teh violence...if teh government is not willing to put the leaders of teh violent mobs in jail than even teh army wont be able to do anything...some say that PPP is deeply involved as are teh police, rangers and sindh governments death squads...that only points to suggestions that teh federal government should disssolve teh sindh provincial assembly and government and bring in a provisional government to specifically control law and order...unless qaim ali shah is willing to make decisions there is no point left in his PPP-mqm government...The mentally disturbed rehman malik denies teh obvious and says there are no shiite and sunni organizations in karachi...the man who runs teh countries interior ministry says invisible forces involved in karachi violence...one wonders what he is doing as a minister of interior...
• Nov13-2012--In what many see as the failure of politicians across teh board teh PMLn says that a consensus on two retired judges is the only possible solution as caretaker primeminister...nasir aslam zahid made his name as a judge while shakirullah jan heads the abbottabad commission and many are yet to see whether teh commission has teh guts to tackle a difficult situation in which the armed forces sat around while the americans killed and kidnapped Ossama..with obvious suggestions that teh army and ISI had already talked about it to their US counterparts...?
