Plot to assassinate God

HHaving as much money as God is the not the same thing as being God and creating anything and owning it. Gaddafi was killed today. Osama bin Laden is said to have been killed, this year. Some years ago Saddam Hussain was killed, all his sons killed, just like Gadaffi's sons were recently. The reasons for all these wars may seem mundane as oil, the control over the riches on the planet. Economic reasons. It could be something very different. I had met astrologist in 2004 and was fairly accurate in his predictions. He had said if the war in Iraq and Afghanistan do not end, then 2008 the USA will suffer a major financial set back. The astrologer died in 2006 - never get to see how true he was.These wars on the surface may be religious in nature or political but they have a greater meaning. 2012 is cited as the end of the world. There is a kind desperation - conquering a country is one thing, but actually seeking and killing the leader of the country and wiping out his family is biza

Cell phone companies call charges in Pakistan

No matter how the  cell phone service providers advertise  their call charges - the call rates are Rs. 6 per minute. This includes all the other charges like: Line rent LLD GSM service GST Advanced Income Tax So it is fairly expensive to make calls. The advertised call charges hide the actual charges. Why should cell phone companies charge income tax from its subscribers? Income tax is on the  income the cell phones  and it has nothing to do with the subscribers, unless cell phone companies are committing tax fraud.  They are hiding their actual income from the auditors and the tax collectors. 

Neocolonialism and war's end

 Afghans were attacked against once again by foreign forces in 2001. Only 13 years ago a foreign invader had left their land. They were ready as they always could be. It was not running to the hills, the hills was their countryside and their most powerful defence. The Afghans never question why  they are being invaded they are ready to fight. Their country littered with weapons of the previous invader and weapons provided by an ally. The invader faced unbelievable resistance. All tactics and stratagems adopted against the previous which were tried and tested - were being used against the new one. The  young 20 year old or so soldiers - of the invaders were too small to know about the previous war in the country and did not know what they were getting into. Even the senior officers had no experience fighting here. If the country was a flat plain then fighting would be easier - it was mountainous terrain all the way and there was a sniper on every hilltop and mines left by the Soviet Un

Britain on fire or who really care if it is.

Can a nation which has in recent years destroyed cities and killed so many people be respected? Does such a country deserve sympathy?   Bombing Libya is another example of absolute about indifference and hate which prevails in Britain. Britain has killed people for all kinds of reasons. Not a single one of them justified.  Britain should have been destroyed long ago - a land of  buccaneers. Piracy was considered a noble profession. Britain sold opium to China. The barbarians from this island spread like a disease across the world. This disease is slowly dying. Britain crossed all limits of barbarity and then proclaiming themselves as the most civilised in the world. The arrogance and smugness has not gone. Their stiff upper lips will remain. They will justify every crime. The reason why Britain goes to out destroying countries - is simply the fact it considered more civilised than everyone else and the cities of the world are worthless, hence have to be eliminated. Psychopaths.  Why

US objectives and Pakistan leadership crisis

During the Cold War - the USA used Pakistan for its ends.  Before the USA had set up its spy satellite network, it planned to fly it space planes. The country for this purpose was Pakistan. From Pakistan the plane would take cover the USSR and land in the USA. In order to pull this off - Pakistan had to become dependable ally. Which meant that Pakistan's government should have to agree to this arrangement. The USA did not want to compensate Pakistan for the use of the air base. In order to keep it 'Top Secret' - Pakistan's press had to be completely controlled. Democracy ended in Pakistan on the behest of the USA. Press freedom also vanished. General Ayub was the president of the country and his foreign minister was ZA Bhutto. The U2 spy planes flew from Peshawar air base. Since the press was in complete control of General Ayub's regime - any journalist who stumble upon the 'secret US air base' - such a news item would never be published.  Someone did, he w

Iran and USA, enemies or friends?

The Shah of Iran had upset Israel in his interview   he had with Mike Wallace. The Shah was arrogant enough to condemn Israel for all the troubles in the Middle East . The Shah completely forgot that he was given opportunity to rule Iran – because the CIA had allowed him. The plot which helped bring down Iran ’s prime minister Mossadeq –and bring Shah Pehalvi, could be done again.   The method used by the CIA was to get rid of Mossadeq was start demonstrations in mosque. Islam has been the CIA’s best weapon against the Muslim countries. The Shah was unceremoniously kicked out of Iran in 1979 and no country was willing to accept him. The Shah   as long as he was in power did the following ·         Used the oil money ‘modernise’ Iran – made it more western than the West. He little or not tolerance for mullahs and ayatollahs.   ·         He imagined as long as he kept the same mullahs who had brought down Mossadeq may do the same against him.   ·         The   Shah adopted second l

Rise in the price of world food prices and oil

The USA imposed sanctions on Iran after the Shah was ousted. The result of those sanctions was that Iran's main export which is oil  was stopped - at least the USA was not importing Iranian oil.  Libya was charged with terrorism and trying build nuclear weapons - sanctions were imposed on it too. But Libya managed to bribe itself out of that mess. Some years later Iraq and Iran were at war. Iraq needed money to fund its war  - it bought the latest weapons the USA was willing to offer. As long as the war lasted- There was more Iraqi oil into the world market. There was oil glut- the  price of oil crashed. The oil companies in the USA were the ones which suffered the most, which was unforgivable. The oil glut was worse than an oil embargo. The oil embargo made the oil companies rich a glut made them poorer. The solution lay in a controlled flow of oil, particularly Iraq. Iraq suffered an oil for food system. It had to supply oil in return for food. In 1998 both India and Pakistan

Non-governmental organisations nonsense

There are just about too many non-governmental organisations (NGOs) - apparently working on several projects. The ones working on the problems of women are myriad. There are  others working to free those people who have been detained indefinitely without charges. There are NGOs for the environment and wildlife preservation. For every single problem which exists  there are several NGOs If you ask them what they have achieved, other than having their reports published in newspapers - they have no answer. In the recent Women's Day - the rape and abuse of women was highlighted - how about talking about women who made difference? Women who have done things in the scientific field, in the arts in different fields f human endeavour. NGOs stick to their agenda - on paper their work looks very noble and worthwhile - the problem is the issues once resolved - the purpose of the existence of NGOs ceases. Running NGOs is a business - money comes from people who believe in their cause - some o

Gemans are a bunch of bigots

Hans-Peter Friedrich stokes immigration flames: 'Islam has no place in Germany' | Mail Online The stories of the Final Solution would normally be brushed aside, because it is considered British propaganda during World War II. Because the British was imperial power and its colonies all over the world hated it and never believed . But after so many years after World War II - the independent countries of the world may well begin to revise their opinions. That the Germans really were capable of exterminating people on a very large scale. Since Germans are excellent in making machines and industrial products and way beyond many nations in getting things perfectly organised, compartmentalised and structured to make them happen with complete with cold precision - it is possible did turn mass murder into a full fledged industry. It operated with hundred per cent efficiency. Taking such things into consideration - the title of the story of the Daily Mail in the 1930s could h

Time to rip the masks off!

Time to rip the masks off! Many things can come from this. The following seem to be true: To prolong the war in Afghanistan and to extend to Pakistan US internal politics may also be a factor in this. even there politicians are not above stabbing each other in the back When the US Embassy officials were held hostage in Iran - Jimmy Carter was assured their release by the Iranian government. But George Bush  (former CIA head) delayed the release. Jimmy Carter lost his re-election bid. Ronald Reagan became president and George Bush became vice-president. The CIA along with contractors are carrying a massive covert war in Pakistan.  Target killings, bomb blasts in different places.  Killing of religious leaders - such cost a lot of money to conduct.  The weapons and the bombs are not easily and readily available - these are expensive items who can afford waste so much money. It is believed the terrorism in Mumbai was also a CIA-Mossad operation to discredit Pakistan- it can

Honda Civic In Pakistan

How is it that Honda has crossed out some of the things it has on its list? Does it not want to best car in Pakistan? In any case the car policy of the government of Pakistan is seriously flawed.  Most probably because no one has had the time  to revise it.Cars are called luxury items and safety features additional luxury items. Cars are not luxury items, they are a utility and consumer item. People need them to travel distances, many of which are not accessible by public transport. At present the tax on on cars is 350% over and above the actual price of the cars. The tax on cars should not be more than more than 25% of the actual price. Car buyers in Pakistan have a choice of only a few cars brands. Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi, although there many car companies in the world. The number of people who want to buy news cars in Pakistan but cannot afford to are 60 million - but because they are outrageously expensive only an estimated 9 million people can afford them. An impo

Knowledge without purpose, education which fails

Right up to class 8 - schools can teach more or less whatsoever they like to. They introduce a whole range subjects. Some schools even have art and music teachers. Surprisingly there is even geology. There is no bar what you can learn what you cannot. The school has a limited number of students in each class. So if a student's performance is to be gauged it will from the those 45 to 60 students. The teacher is both teacher and examiner. So she (or he) knows more about the student than anyone else. If the student has some difficulty - a mental or physical problem - it would be conveyed to the parents directly. Many learning problems are related to poor eyesight, undue fatigue, some kind of illness. Which the teacher can tell the parents and the parents in turn can make the proper arrangements to help their child But as soon the student  is in 9th class - everything which happened before comes to an abrupt end - it as if it never existed.  Students are treated as if they are machin

When Veena Hayat was raped

When our newspapers started enjoying some freedom, Veena Hayat's rape was the major headline of all the newspapers which existed at that time. Veena Hayat is not known because she was raped, she is the daughter of a politician Shaukat Hayat Khan, which means she belongs to an extremely rich family.  Many people did not like to see this news in their newspaper leave alone on the front page.No one liked reading stuff like this. However this was the first sojourn of the newspapers in the new frontier of  free expression and reporting without restriction. The reason why people reacted with such indignation is that they had yet get adjusted to such openness. Strangely enough they travel abroad, they come across all kinds of magazines which they enjoy and express no disapproval. It was nothing but hypocrisy.  However are now reacting in the same way against the TV channels. thought are not at all as free as they should. They were controlled by the state. Because of the prevalent hypoc

The bane which is PEMRA

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

email mess

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.

State regulating the media, why?

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

Obma's visit to India

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.

Online from the beginning

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

Transparency International fraud

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

Bomb Pakistan if it does not comply

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
