I know I have written too many times about the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) but considering they way this bastard organisation is conducting itself - no matter how much it is condemned it is simply not enough.  The banning of international channels was widely  criticised - but the fucking idiots in PEMRA were not the least concerned about this.  After this was done, content of local channels begun to be monitored. news channels in particular including entertainment channels and lately advertisements which appear in them. These shit-eaters in PEMRA have nothing better to do than snatch as much freedom as they can. As if freedom is something to be trifled with. The ultimate goal of course to ban all private channels and only have Pakistan Television as the only TV channel. The way freedom is being taken away, it can be taken back with tremendous force. Everyone who works in PEMRA would made accountable for their violation of fundamental human rights, violating

It is probably because I have a CRT monitor instead of a LCD monitor I am having hard time being able to see my Email, let alone read it. I have difficulty logging out too. Who came up with the bright idea of having the email on top of the screen and below the inbox a small area to read the Email, unless you click it and it becomes large, but then it covers the everything else, unless you clicks shut the Email. Some still use CRT monitors in this day and age, if anyone cares to listen. Logging out of ones Email account is a nuisance, in most cases it is impossible to locate. Everyone is in a rush to have a better email unable to decide what to keep and what to throw away.

Another form of doublespeak has emerged - censorship is not called censorship - it is called regulating the media. It is perceived that the government should do so. How can the can government  be trusted to do something like that honestly? The government has been accused of being absolutely corrupt and on regular basis new corruption scandals are exposed. The masters of Pakistan's fate say do not want to create the ' wrong' impression about the image about Pakistan. in terms of religion, in terms of politics and in terms the overall image of Pakistan in the eyes of the world. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely it is said. The media is expected to careful about reporting about corruption - because lots of people who choose to live in obscurity would be exposed. A truly free press would expose these criminals. Strangely enough the media has to constantly has struggle to   defined the nature of the crime.  Because of the control over the media, even entertai

If it was any head state it is doubtful the Indians would have been out of their way to so excited about his visit. The USA fascinates India - everything about it. Though Indians may try to be the same as the USA will never ever be, because the fundamental problem in India is i tolerance. India can never have something like the First Amendment of the US Constitution -which assures the right of every citizen of the USA the freedom of expression and thought. India looks up to the USA but still has hard time understanding why the USA is the leader amongst nations. Only when India drops all of its censorship laws,becomes increasingly tolerant will it be able progress.Indians have change,relax many of its laws which are essentially against individual freedom. Development starts when the state exacts less control on its people.

No sooner is a baby born, it starts being photographed by digital cameras. Its pictures are immediately online, sent to family members and friends all over the world. Not only still pictures - but movies with sound. When one thinks about that this was inconceivable this was more than a decade ago just thinking about it is astonishing. Some mothers are so excited about pregnant, they send the ultra-sounds of the baby they are going deliver. So a person on the Internet even before being born. Will remain alive in cyber-space long after he is no more. Emails accounts he sent photograph of himself sent it to all the people he knows. His voice would be preserved too. The ones taken when he was baby and a child were beyond his control, but those too would be floating around in cyberspace. He cannot control that information, because it is in someone else's account elsewhere. Perhaps that someone has deleted that information. While others may have kept around. The truth is that the

It is really strange that the countries which are absolutely squeaky clean are the USA, Canada and the members of NATO; Whereas the rest of the world is absolutely corrupt in varying degrees. Some of the world's poorest countries are listed. The factors which lead to corruption are the following: Hunger Poverty Unemployment Prostitution Slavery Drugs Racial discrimination Religious prejudice No country in the world can ever claim to have gotten rid of these. The countries which claim they have are lying. The world's richest countries also have slums and tent cities. Just because beggars are not seen on the streets in these First World Countries, it does not mean that absolute poverty does not exist. These people are removed from plain sight. The corruption stories run rampant, the purpose is to make people miserable about their own countries and consider immigrating. The purpose to offer something better to the immigrants, the purpose absolutely criminal. The First World C

The new - old US policy - is 'bomb Pakistan if does not comply'. The same theme which President Bush had. "Are you with us, or are you against us". Someone called Armitage said - 'We will bomb Pakistan into the stone age". The USA has used Pakistan, ever since General Ayub Khan was made the first military dictator of Pakistan by the USA - to do all kinds of things. The Peshawar air force base was used to launch U2 spy planes to spy on the former Soviet Union. Pakistanis have never liked dictators and General (Field Marshal) Ayub Khan was removed. The USA was terrified the prospects of democracy completely taking over Pakistan. So quickly General Yahya was made the new military dictator. Bhutto the first civilian to take power was hated and feared by the US establishment, they waited on the sidelines to make a single mistake to have him overthrown. General Zia-ul-Haq took over with the blessings of the USA and blown away after he ceased to be of any use. Pakis
