Selling islands may be just the beginning

Poor fishermen are protesting on the planned sale of two islands to Duba. The military dictatorship is committing one act of treason after another. While they are at it, they may as well sell the entire country along with its sovereignty. There is no limit to the greed of the military officers. When they can kill 80 people without making any attempt to arrest them and putting them on tria is just an example how much the people in the army hate the people of Pakistan whom they are supposed to protect. Things have become so bad that the police regularly kills people claiming they have killed was a criminal. The newspapers print the police manifest faithfully, never questioning whether the police was within its legal rights to do so. The people who have been killedvery well be innocent but no one questions the police. The job of the police is to arrest alleged criminals and bring them to cour. It is common knowledge that the police is actually committing politcally motivated murd...

Misuse of military power

No doubt the country is under martial law - but the fact that our military goes ahead without thinking twice as to the consequences of its actions, particularly when they go around attacking different parts of the country on the basis of 'reliable intelligence' The latest incident was bombing a seminary. Instead of martial law, if there was a government elected by the people, restrained would have been ordered and the military would have to take into consideration the politcal backlash. The country is not for the military it is for the people of Pakistan and the military represents is simply a tiny fraction of the entire populace. For all intents and purposes it seems that the military can only hold onto power by starting a sort of civil war. This would ensure continued military rule, because to prevent the state of anarchy the country has fallen in. All the military officers are robbing this country like all those before them. Running off abroad with the loot they hav...

Karzai president of Kabul

Karzai iand his government are a puppet regime. They do not know anything about the country they are supposedly are ruling. Some kind of government has to exist. The war is being fought by NATO forces, not the Afghan army, because it does not exist. Karzai blames Pakistan for troubles in Afghanistan. Karzai does not belong to any institution in Afghanistan he is an oil company executive given a dubious political post. He cannot possbily have an independent clue as to what is really going on in Afghanistan because he knows only what he is told by the foreign forces. The truth no one knows what is going on, because the Taliban are putting up a fierce fight. As in all wars enemies do not count their own dead and wounded, they only exagerrate how many the other has lost. So one cannot truly say how the conflict in Afghanistan is really going. In five years to say that foreign forces casualties are just a few thousand is completely absurd. A country which has fought a world power an...

Businessmen without foresight

Large businesses are run by the state. Smaller ones are privately owned. The privately owned have problems in their way conducting their affairs. Shopkeepers for instance will not have ready change, they will not have all the items one requires so customers have to go from one shop after another to purchase the things they need, instead of being able to buy everything they need from the one shop. Particularly in the case of general stores, the one which is successful is the one which is well supplied, provides discounts - particularly to regular customers and always has the right change. This ensures customer loyalty. A number of mobile service companies have opened in the past number of years - it has taken them some time to improve their standard of service. But even the improvement is still below international standards. For instance if someone is regular subscriber and has always paid his bills over several years - that subscriber is treated in the same way as someone who i...

No sex please we are Pakistani

There is an organisation the initials of which are WAR - it stands of War Against Rape. Lots of people condemned the name of the organisation and said it should be seen, because it is shameful. The purpose of that organisation was as stated, it was to help women who have been victims and want justice. A great deal of coverage has been given to several women. The twisted values is that a woman deserves to be raped if she dares to be intimate with someone or if she has offended some influential men. An entire category of people who are abo ve the law and they rape with impunity, they cannot be stopped. This being said, the media is supposed to portray an asexual society which knows nothing about sex, detests sex or anything related to it. The anti-AIDS campaign is a complete failure because there is hardly any mention of sex - because of the fear of offending anyone. Sex is like something which the rich and powerful can talk about out loud, while the weak and impoverished have to ...

Karachi sinks

What happened in Karachi was not a natural disaster, it was a man made one. The city sank and no one is taking responsibility for it because there are bureaucrats and military officials everywhere - none of them are prepared to take the blame for their incompetence. Everyone knows that the military namely its Frontier Works Organisation was responsible for rebuilding the Clifton road and took over a year to do so because every military officer wanted his share in the kickbacks for building the road. Neither the Karachi government nor the Karachi Port Trust are to blame, the fault is with Frontier Works Organisation which built the Clifton Underpass which got flooded there was not drainage system - the reason why there was no drainage system is that Frontier Works Organisation will start rebuilding the Clifton roads again with a drainage system. But that will not do, because is greed is a disaease. The drainage system which is going to be built is going to so defective that it wil...

Arrogance

The countries which had been occupied, enslaved and exploited to extreme poverty - by Europe are called Third World Countries. The occupiers are unrepentant and call themselves First World Countries. The wealth that Europe has today is all stolen. Now that the 'Third World' countries because of the terrible condition want to settle in Europe. But the Europeans and other 'First World' countries do not want them. The 'First Worlders' do not want to be reminded of the atrocities they committed, the looting and the pillaging which they carried out on a mass scale. When they save their loot in banks it was alright, today it is called 'money laundering'. 'Third Worlders' are always considered a threat, the truth is that 'First Worlders' are guilty and are afraid of reprisals. Extensive visa restrictions are imposed on 'Third Worlders' because once more of them enter 'First World' countries they would take away a large ...
