Nov29-2020--a seventh cricketer on tour of New Zealand was found positive of covid-19...players were also warned after they did not stay in their... rooms...the infections show the general Pakistani problem of some players having somehow avoided testing in some way...!two spare wicketkeepers, two batsmen and two fast bowlers were involved...Pakistan have sent a whopping 53 member team and even if they have to form two teams the number is exorbitant...the first six are said tobe danish aziz, sarfarz ahmed, rohail nazir, abid ali, naseem shah and mohammed abbas of whom the fast bowlers are significant...
Nov29-2020--The PTI has a dubious attitude...on the one hand they say that current virus spread is more dangerous(no reasons given)and while smart lockdowns have proved a total failure they are not imposing a full fledged lockdown because imran khan and the industrialists will loose financially...the people are not challenging the government... but because of their illegal behaviour and fake accountability drama's the government has lost its moral authority and mandate...!nobody believes in the government anymore and probably the armed forces have the least faith init...the reason for the virus problems are because the government and medical community are losing interest in saving lives...!the government is not importing latest medicines and providing them to the patients. There is no evidence to suggest that a mutated virus behaves differently...The current wave is because of generally increased testing...yesterday 48000 tests were conducted...earlier the government had almost stopped testing...
Nov28-2020--masks are not really science...when you have used it once it should be thrown into a dustbin...at home i see masks lying all over the place and on the floor...and used multiple times...!if a mask is inadvertently infected using it multiple times could be dangerous...!If masks are that important they should be distributed free...reports suggest that governments in Pakistan have been selling masks received for free from China in the open market...a KN95 is now available for Rs86 on Daraz.com...!
Nov27-2020--The PTI has serious psychological issues especially with the opposition...most initiated by the psychiatrist deformities of the Imran Khan mind...the PTi presented some amendments to the NAB act...when the PMLn suddenly approved they withdrew the amendments...! Imran and his band of sorry looking thieves also have a paranoid problem with the word NRO...national reconciliation is not a bad idea and was propagated by their former boss musharaf...the opposition rarely heard using the word...! as far as the covid situation is concerned the situation is still not alarming and only around 80% covid wards are empty...Imran Khan forgets that the situation only improves after a full lockdown...the world and Pakistan know that...political innuendo does not solve issues...and masks whether good or bad do not eliminate covid in any way and there is no real experience of that ending covid spread...it must be realized that all over the world only strict lockdowns have decreased the spread...the experiences of China, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand are pretty clear on that...but Imran Khan with his newfound business friends is against lockdowns now...he says he cant tolerate losses to his friends(Dawood and Hafeez associates) can he...! smart lockdowns are a total failure... Islamabad which is the only place administered by Imran Khan is moving towards a disaster with covid cases emerging in each and every nook and cranny...and when six positive cases emerged in the New Zealand touring Pakistan team there were accusations of faulty testing...apparently the players had been tested four times in Pakistan...many say when Imran Khan cannot take care of an elephant in Islamabad how will he be able to take care of a whole country...maybe he should prepare to go live with Kaavan(name of an elephant) in a Cambodian sanctuary...!many say he should have turned his Banigala palace into an animal shelter...! and some suggest jokingly that he has taken Cher as his fifth wife...! and he might secretly transfer to Cambodia in kaavans container...!
Nov24-2020--PTI shuts educational schools and colleges for a month with winter vacations until Jan10...
Nov24-2020--Pakistan's spy agencies there seem tobe 24 of them work in a uncoordinated manner and without any government directions...supposedly Bajwa was the head of the spy agencies...however the PTI regime is now attempting to get the ISI chief to work as a coordinator so they can have some direction and purpose...a possible result of the army chief having a fallout with his protégé …! Pakistani agencies work in a vague manner and never can provide accurate information on terrorism or Indian infiltration...MI men have been known to run civilians to death thru accusations and faulty operations
Nov24-2020-- In a somewhat controversial appointment the PTI appointed Naeem Bokhari a panama case lawyer as an independent director and chairman of PTVC...a confirmed alcoholic the cabinet refused to approve his appointment as the pashtun PTI members said he talks punjabi ...he has constrained relations with Nawaz Sharif after his first wife was said tobe Nawaz Sharifs longtime girlfriend...who used to sing every night in the primeministers house...on a trip to England after spending an evening in a pub he was waiting at a subway station when he toppled over onto the railtracks supposedly drunk...!he has been a host of several PTV shows....but being old and over 65 he cannot be expected to improve PTV and he has a sycopants mind...a sort of toady mixed with the attitude of a creepy crawler and animosity to the opposition...!...mostly PTI information ministry types are aware of one thing only that they have to oppose and rundown the nawaz sharif family just to keep their jobs...
Nov23-2020--covid cases inch up to 2665 and 59 deaths as Imran Khan blows up at the opposition as usual...does'nt he have anything better todo like trying get supplies of covid vaccines and might be even regeneron the new antibodies coktail...!
Nov23-2020--four militants killed in north waziristan...three TTP militants nabbed in karachi and a railway line blownup in balochistan
Nov23-2020--The PTI has been extremely slow to target the purchase of the covid vaccines which might cause an unnecessary delay inits use here...they should at least have tried to get the russian and chinese vaccines cornered...but they are after cheaper supplies from Covax a who/UN initiative...they should also try and get supplies of Regeneron for serious cases
Nov23-2020--The PTI thinks prices, tariffs and inflation are just a joke with the people and you can lie about it openly like theinformation minister who still does know that prices have not fallen...sugar is at Rs85...chakki ka atta at Rs.70 a kilo...chicken meat is Rs330 in Lahore while it is touching Rs.450 in karachi..potato that used to sell at Rs40 is now skyrocketing to over Rs150 while in some places it is Rs80...eggs which can be said tobe the poor guys treat have now doubled in price...apparently onion prices are high as Asad Umar has allowed the dawoods to export ...to sri lanka, uae and bahrain...
Nov23-2020--Nawaz Sharif 's mother passses away in London..Maryam nawaz had to leave the peshawar jalsa after she was informed
Nov23-2020--PTI's love for the prophet is just skin deep ...they cannot stand behind even the idea of islamophobia...The Goebbels of the PTI Shireen Mazari in a tweet said that Macron treats muslims worse than the german nazis treated jews...after the french condemned her remarks she removed the tweet...so pliable are the PTI...trying tobe on all sides i think...!
Nov21-2020--with the PTI apparently frightened of the PDM mobilization they have refused to permit a jalsa in Peshawar which the PDM is planning to hold...The PTI trying to create an imaginary ballooning threat perception of the low level Covid threat...with Pakistan not having made preparations for buying the vaccine they will probably have to wait out 2021 before the vaccine arrives and is injected in most danger prone groups such as hospital staff and the older population and those that are infected...!
Nov21-2020--I looked up the meaning of demagogue to define the behaviour of Imran Khan...here it is...it fits to a T ... while not a skilled orator as he is used to shouting...
A demagogue ( Greek), a popular leader, a leader of a mob(of people, populace, the commons) leading leader or rabble-rouser in contemporary usage is a leader who gains popularity by exploiting emotions, prejudice, hatred, and ignorance to arouse the common people against elites, whipping up the passions of the crowd and shutting down reasoned deliberation. Demagogues overturn established norms of political conduct, or promise or threaten to do so. Demagogues frequently present themselves as populists, to the point where "populism" itself has now acquired a negative connotation.
Historian Reinhard Luthin defined demagogue as "...a politician skilled in oratory, flattery and invective; evasive in discussing vital issues; promising everything to everybody; appealing to the passions rather than the reason of the public; and arousing racial, religious, and class prejudices – a man whose lust for power without recourse to principle leads him to seek to become a master of the masses. He has for centuries practiced his profession of 'man of the people'. He is a product of a political tradition nearly as old as western civilization itself."
Demagogues have appeared in democracies since ancient Athens, where the word did not originally have a negative connotation. They exploit a fundamental weakness in democracy: because ultimate power is held by the people, it is possible for the people to give that power to someone who appeals to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population.Demagogues usually advocate immediate, forceful action to address a crisis while accusing moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness or disloyalty to country and armed forces. If elected to high executive office, demagogues typically unravel constitutional limits on executive power and attempt to convert their democracy into an authoritarian system, even a dictatorship.
Nov21-2020--A row has broken out between modi and the advisor on national security who supposedly concocted a dossier of Indian planning of terrorism in Pakistan and the Indians assertion that they had blocked a JeT death squad...Pakistan insisted that the Indians had spent $60 million on setting up an anti CPEC militia...CPEC is all but useless and only serves Pakistan for propaganda purposes...CPEC technically combines transportation and power projects and their approval and Chinese financing processes
Nov21-2020--Imran Khan appointed an advisor to listen to mna complaints...all of them wanted wealth...so Imran Khan flew off to afghanistan...to get some eight nine kilos of heroin...in Pakistan ANF has blocked all drug routes...and he apparently also gave orders for terrorism against the opposition...that is the only things that worry the PTI … personal wealth and the opposition jalsa's...!
Nov20-2020--The AIC(Asian internet coalition) says that it will be difficult for tech giants to provide services to Pakistanis as they say the cruel Imran Khan's PTI is bent upon destroying basic human rights norms...The government has ordered that tech companies block content and provide names on their orders...The companies have been cooperating upto now in blocking but may back out of Pakistan if the unsolicited rules are not abandoned...!
Nov20-2020--another opponent of the government/ISI who created an immense scare in Islamabad and the judiciary has bitten the dust...Maulana Khadim Hussein Rizvi a wheelchair bound cleric died of a possible covid infection...this is the second prominent anti government figure to die recently...head of the TLP which had a good first time showing in the last elections...just recently the government and judiciary opponent CJ of the Peshawar high court died of covid...it is considered in the realm of possibility that the animosity prone ISI/government may have infected the two...!
Nov20-2020--The USA saw one million new covid cases during the last week...at that rate in 23 weeks the country could acquire herd immunity if 60% of the country has been infected...!The high rates of infection are symptomatic of the US lifestyle and/or the possible existence of something new generating covid infections...might be rats or bats or chickens or beef...in Ireland and Denmark minks are suspected of spreading a mutated covid virus and are being culled in Denmark...a small furry creature of the weasel family whose fur is used
Nov18-2020--On one hand imran khan says the economy is fine while hafeez sheikh has already called for IMF emergency aid...!electricity shutdowns almost a daily occurrence
Nov 18-2020-- Pakistan corona virus cases rising mildly...below is a March to Nov graph of daily cases which can be found on googles virus page
Nov18-2020--Imran Khan allows tax free imports of corona vaccine components...It is pretty late to start learning and building a vaccine...!with no real institute that deals in vaccines and virus's it will be difficult for vaccines tobe built...only the NIH has some experience to built antidotes for snake venom... Punjab university and Nust can however put up a team to try to build a vaccine if they can design and build a safe lab...he also says that he has set aside $100 million to buy vaccines...that is also pretty late as most countries have already booked their vaccines...the cost of a vaccine can be anywhere upto $50 plus special transportation need cost...at the moment the UN has ordered 100 million doses and WHO none i think...Pakistan will have to depend on the chinese , russians or the UN's covax for at least the next year or two before better quality vaccines are available in the stores...Pakistan has manpower available to go door to door to inject the vaccine if they can develop some sort of travelling refrigerator...!Pakistan could get the vaccines in 2022 as most of the current production will go to those who have already booked them...so they could allocate funds and manpower to start attempting to make a vaccine or buy a vaccine production process on a fast pace basis...the PTI has been pretty dumb and they should have given thought to this six months ago...!the rest of the producers have taken almost a year to develop a vaccine so buying a production process could be easier...a possible Pfizer vaccine which costs upto $50 would procure only 20000 doses...however astra zeneca and oxford/johnson and johnson vaccines might be available at $3-4 and the chinese and russians at $1...the UN and WHO might provide subsidized vaccines too
Nov18-2020--Pakistan is dependent on Covax a WHO initiative in which it will arrange 2 billion doses of the covid vaccine for distribution in its member countries by end 2021...2 billion doses are probably the output of at least two companies and Covax will probably have to buy vaccines from wherever they can...supposedly covax will distribute vaccines on the basis of minimum needs to all members
Nov18-2020--egg and poultry meat prices skyrocket...eggs at nearly Rs200 per dozen while poultry meat prices soar to Rs450-500
Nov18-2020--Shabbar Zaidi the accountant for very rich people has jumped the wagon say many...he says the government is behind state sponsored corruption...he later said that he was a supporter of the ultra rich Imran Khan...Imran Khan and Shabbar Zaidi are supporters of the ultra rich bussiness class...!Imran Khan has a queer policy of returning the taxes paid by billionaires and urging ordinary people to pay more...all his financial doles are targeted on the rich bussiness and industrial class...while bills of electricity of ordinary people are rising he is selling bussinesses electricity at Rs5...! which is even below rates for the military
Nov16-2020--Moderna and Pfizer both say their vaccines are highly effective...Moderna has to provide the US with 500 million doses and can produce 1000 million doses...they will initially immediately ship 20 million doses..The Pfizer vaccine has tobe stored at -70degrees C and will have problems in transportation...the Moderna vaccine has two doses 28 days apart...side effects include sharp aches and pains and severe fatigue which donot last long...astra zeneca and johnson and johnson are also completing third phase trials while chinese and russian vaccines are already in use...so there will be many vaccines available probably in the private sector too...India too has a vaccine that will be available by February and they have bought out another vaccine...they also have a deal with astrazeneca...The pfizer and moderna vaccines were created by a new method mRNA which turns the body into a vaccine factory forcing body cells to create virus proteins which are than attacked by the immune system ..a third stage Cansinbo a chinese company trials are taking place in five six countries including Pakistan..moderna vaccine said tobe effective in severe cases...The darpok frightened Pakistani primeminister has refused tobe a vaccine trial participant
Nov17-2020--Independents and the PTi are almost sure to form the government in GB where immense bungling and rigging is alleged...reports also suggest that Bajwa again arranged the PTI win as politicians suggested that military interference on the same level as national elections
Nov17-2020--The TLP says the government has accepted all itsdemands...it will take a decision from parliament to kick out thefrench ambassador...not appoint an ambassador to france and release all TLP workers under arrest..The PTI fired thousands of tear gas shells at TLP rally participants and what looked like cartoos(old style bullets)
Nov16-2020--PTI corona policies have already killed the GB PTI head and the youngish KP CJ..obviously something is wrong in diagnosis and medicines used...Sindh chief minister also tests positive...maybe the corona czar an imran khan sycophant needs tobe replaced...The PTI had shutdown most specific corona hospitals...!
Nov16-2020--GB elections show a rise in PTI popularity supposedly in the area which had formerly a PPP and a PMLn chief minister...GB iranian travellers were considered to have spread corona initially in the country...however elections in GB have shown that sitting governments win elections...PTI has an alliance with shiites who have large presence in the area...anyway PTI, PPP and independents doing well with PMLn and JUI leading on one seat each...The PTI incarceration of Shahbaz Sharif who has a considerable experience of elections and their manipulations might have been the turning point...!
Nov16-2020--Dawn makes fun of the military and government being on the same page...with the military supporting even former coup plotters, kidnappings , suppression and book burnings and a cooperative Imran Khan failing to understand the implications of inflation and a pro Indian policy by the top elite...however attempts to dump everything into the Indian lap could be counter productive and immature and show a lack of foresight...if the Indians are adopting negative tactics than they must be stopped rather than just inform the USA and UN...however the understanding about imran khans support of a failed intelligence system is fraught with problematic observations...many regard them as not having been able to stop a single terrorist incident...and if the Indians were openly transferring funds into Pakistan than whose failure is that...the intelligence community seems tobe totally fraudulent and must be on the take from the Indians too...politicians including the funding loving/big spender imran khan have all asked the Indians for financial aid... the military has even taken up the role of provincial placation as well...many suggest that an Ahmadi army chief who has consistently opposed Sunnis might have been taken too far...! However zardari's think that a marriage into the Ahmadi financial world might reap political benefits although i have never heard of anyone being arrested for being an ahmedi...the army chief is trying to prop up the government by taking over talking with the opposition and probably duping them as well with a stuckup Imran Khan hiding behind his wife in Banigala...The military, government and opposition pages are quite different these days and do offer some sort of controversial animosity driven diversity...
Nov16-2020--a very slow effect is emerging on dollar prices as it has fallen due to the consequences of corona which has further reduced imports barring wheat, sugar, pulses and cooking oil...international travel and overseas education soaked up dollars and that has been considerably reduced as have repayments on government loans...government had already been restricting imports...however as remittances have also risen the government is in a quandary...as the currency traders are depositing upto $300 million per month...investors in dollars which has always risen steadily are wary and are preferring to sell dollars...the government which prefers a higher dollar price could open up free for all imports or reduce interest rates on dollars...The government has also been restricting export of dollars which was a key modus operandi of currency dealers
Nov16-2020--the TLP again threw mud in the PTI face with a huge rally in Karachi and gatherings and tear gas in Rawalpindi despite enormous suppressive measures...entrances to Rawalpindi(36) and Islamabad(16) were sealed and police shutdown murree road businesses...in a new occurrence protestors climbed onto the metro track and marched onit...the TLP was protesting the lukewarm imran khan attitude towards islamophobia and demanded the kicking out of the french ambassador...however it showed echoes of government involvement as there were only a small group of police and protestors at Faizabad...mobile phones were shutdown in rawalpindi and even street lights were turned off ...Piles of empty tear gas shells shown the internet
