The snake, Zardari, states: “Musharraf to be impeached unless he resigns”
http://thenews.jang.com.pk/updates.asp?id=47068

Now it is in contradiction to the statement from the moron defence minister, Ahmed Mukhtar, a few days ago where he had stated that “Musharraf is an elected president”

ZPP is nothing but an incompetent bunch of clowns.

The Empire - A Status Report
by William Blum

There are a number of expressions and slogans associated with the Nazi regime in Germany which have become commonly known in English.
“Sieg Heil!” — Victory Hail!
“Arbeit macht frei” — Work will make you free.
“Denn heute gehört uns Deutschland und morgen die ganze Welt” — Today Germany, tomorrow the world
But none perhaps is better known than “Deutschland über alles” — Germany above all.

Thus I was taken aback when I happened to come across the website of the United States Air Force — http://www.airforce.com/ — and saw on its first page a heading “Above all”. Lest you think that this refers simply and innocently to planes high up in the air, this page links to another — http://www.airforce.com/achangingworld/ — where “Above all” is repeated even more prominently, with links to sites for “Air Dominance”, “Space Dominance”, and “Cyber Dominance”, each of which in turn repeats “Above all”. These guys don’t kid around. They’re not your father’s imperialist war mongers. If they’re planning on a new “thousand-year Reich”, let’s hope that their fate is no better than the original, which lasted 12 years. ….

NATO, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Pakistan
What is NATO Doing in Afghanistan?
By Faheem Hussain
“…Attentive readers in Pakistan will note the uncanny similarities between the proposed Rambouillet Accords of 1999 preceding the 78 day NATO bombardment of Yugoslavia and what Shirin Mazari, a Pakistani defence analyst and former head of the Institute of Strategic Studies, Islamabad (ISSI), revealed as a set of demands that the USA recently made to the Pakistan government (The News March 8, 2008). Although one can never be sure, I hope that the Musharraf government at that time and the present government have rejected these demands which negate Pakistani sovereignty. I wonder if the new “democratic” dispensation has given in to US pressure to remove Ms. Mazari from her position as head of the ISSI given her opposition to NATO presence in Afghanistan and her criticisms of US policy in the region…..

Regarding Iraq:

US Issues Threat to Iraq’s $50bn Foreign Reserves in Military Deal

The US is holding hostage some $50bn (£25bn) of Iraq’s money in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to pressure the Iraqi government into signing an agreement seen by many Iraqis as prolonging the US occupation indefinitely, according to information leaked to The Independent.

Revealed: Secret Plan To keep Iraq Under US Control
Bush wants 50 military bases, control of Iraqi airspace and legal immunity for all American soldiers and contractors

New Agreement Lets US Strike Any Country From Inside Iraq
Senior Iraqi military sources have told Gulf News that the long-term controversial agreement is likely to include three major items.

Iran: US-Iraq security deal aims to enslave Iraqis
One of Iran’s most powerful politicians vowed Wednesday that the Islamic world will stop a long-term security agreement that is being negotiated by the U.S. and Iraq.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani told a gathering of Muslim figures in the holy city of Mecca that the United States is trying to enslave Iraqis through the deal. This comments were the strongest and most high-level public condemnations of the potential security deal by an Iranian official.

Why?
Arabs shocked by Obama speech
Arab leaders have reacted with anger and disbelief to an intensely pro-Israeli speech delivered by Barack Obama, the US Democratic presumptive presidential nominee.

Obama told the influential annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Council (Aipac): “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided.”

His comments appalled Palestinians who see occupied East Jerusalem as part of a future Palestinian state.

Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, told Al Jazeera on Thursday: “This is the worst thing to happen to us since 1967 … he has given ammunition to extremists across the region”.

“What really disppoints me is that someone like Barack Obama, who runs a campaign on the theme of change - when it comes to Aipac and what’s needed to be said differently about the Palestinian state, he fails.”….

Top companies accused of helping finance Burma’s dictatorship
Fifty top companies have been accused of helping finance Burma’s military dictatorship.

The Burma Campaign UK published its Dirty List today aimed at exposing those companies that directly or indirectly support Burma’s ruling junta.

The 50 new companies named include, BBC Worldwide, Toyota, Qantas, TOTAL Oil and Daewoo.

In total, 154 companies are named on the list.

“In an age where companies like to claim they behave ethically, this list exposes those corporations for whom corporate responsibility is just a hollow public relations exercise,” said Johnny Chatterton, campaigns officer of the Burma Campaign UK.

“If you are serious about ethics, you don’t fund dictatorships that rape five year old girls, shoot at peaceful protestors and leave storm victims to die.”…

This is nothing new. This sort of rape has been going on for some time under the guise of “corporate farming” where not only are foreigners are given land but also guaranteed water, electricity, and tax-free profits that have no strings attached. Remember these profits are based on “cost plus” formula so no matter how much they fvck up their farming they still make a profit of around 20% on all monies spent….

Pathetic efforts aimed at easing Pakistan ’s energy crisis

On 1/6/2008 Pakistan ’s government put the nation’s clocks forward by an hour and ordered stores to close early to ease electricity shortages that are hurting economic growth and fuelling unrest across the country. This initiative by the government is too little too late. Conservative estimates suggest that Pakistan faces 5000 mw power shortage due to the widening gap between supply and demand. During the past 10 years successive governments failed to build power plants to meet the increase in demand. Furthermore, the privatization of electricity production and distribution in the 1990s has aggravated the energy crisis. Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in some cases refuse to produce and distribute electricity to Pakistani cities, unless the government compensates them for the high price of oil, which is used to generate electricity. The IPPs want the government to raise the electricity tariff by 30%, so that they can maintain their profits. All of this means that during this summer, people will have to pay extra for electricity that will be in short supply. The solution to Pakistan’s energy crisis is to abandon privatization and exploit Pakistan’s coal mines, which are the 2nd largest in the world. But to accomplish this feat, the people of Pakistan must re-establish the Khilafah. The Khilafah will invest heavily in producing liquid coal fuel to generate power, and will also prevent the IPPs from exploiting the people.

@Poola

Right…people have a very short fuse, but maybe that is not so strange, because the Pakistani nation is used to be let down time and again, and now they see ghosts everywhere. It will take some time for the politicians to restore the confidence. For most of them (PML-Q/MQM/PPP) it will never happen, because they have made it a habit to cheat.

/Saqib

confident or cocky ?

Nawaz is very cunning politician and has been improving his tactics with the passage of time. He understands how to play in new media empowered Pakistan to mold people ’s opinion.

NS is the most beneficiary of lawyer ’s movement. He was sitting out for 8 years setting up departmental stores in Saudi Arabia and instantly got benefited both legally and politically by joining in the middle of lawyer ’s movement.

There is no harm to be part of a movement and have reward in return but at the time crisis and struggle you should be their at the helm of affair.

So far NS has just cashed lawyer ’s cause and has not return any output to lawyer community and now both parties (PPP and PML-N) wants to divert lawyer ’s crowd to army house to get rid of Mush without stepping back their commitments with Saudis and Americans.

What kind of leaders and politicians they are. They are even not able to restore judges and sack Mush when they have the strength. Better they should start acting in Bollywood in action movies.

Bottom line:
So far all the major developments have been made because of lawyers and in future it would be so. These PPP and PML-N politicians are just HIGRAS.

@Kafka8

Excerpts from your link:

“The Jewish votes are important, of course, especially in several swing states which may decide the outcome. But African-Americans have more votes, and so do the Hispanics. Obama has brought to the political scene millions of new young voters. Numerically, the Arab-Muslim community in the US is also not an insignificant factor.”

I would say that the Jewish votes are most important since they have MOST money, and that’s exactly why Obama barks tremendously in favor of the Jews.

/Saqib

@saqib

uri makes a point (although not detailed) about how much money they do have..compared to other ethno/religous groups…nevertheless..i think this is a very important dimension to geo-political situation..the refusal of umreeka to look at the world without zianist specatcles..

@saqib

i also think…that the growing number of left of center/college going umreekis will also be watching this spectacle with questions of their own!!

@saqib

point remains; why doesn’t this site cater to wha?t is going on in the world at large?? how can you understand or discuss what is unfolding in pakistan..without studying it in the context of the ‘frame’

@kafka8 on June 9th, 2008 1:06 pm

I agree, but we have much higher issues at stake right now. For us it is important to bring Pakistan on tracks first, then we can concentrate on such issues.

The Americans knows very well the public mood in Pakistan i.e. how much or rather how limited support they have amongst the common population. Such issues will be taken seriously if they are raised genuinely (not only rhetoric’s) by our rulers. Who should do it right now? The present rulers are no brave hearts but all poodles/wimps

/Saqib

@saqib

that is not my point…even if pakistan is put on tracks, it wont stay on tracks …if she is not cognizant of the forces acting to derail it or maintain it.

in other words, before pakistan begins to get on the tracks..it must know how to stay there..

pakistan is no island…no place actually ..is an island anymore.

@Kafka8

I am not ridiculing your point. In fact I think it is important, but who should put forward our concerns?

I don’t think the Yankees have doubts about the public mood. What we need is to get rid of collaborators first and then ensure that we have PAKISTANI negotiators instead to voice our genuine concerns!

/Saqib

@saqib

that would be useless..actually..better to let the umreekis think they are in control…atleast until such time that their own people are back in control of umreeka. we are being administered more or less along the same lines that the ruling elite of umreeka runs/governs umreeka.

as i said that is something the umreeki people have to do. what i was trying to say is that to understand what pakistan has to do…it must understand what is going on in the world…and how that relates to what is unfolding/may unfold in pakistan…at politcal forums such as this.

therefore when an event as important as obama securing the democratic presidential nomination goes unaddressed at such a forum…i am inclined to question why this is so>

Gawd! I needed a good laugh. She’s left Chris Rock way behind hasn’t she?

Here are some gems related to Pakistan:

Admittedly, our interests in both promoting democratic development and fighting terrorism and extremism lead to some hard choices, because we do need capable friends in the broader Middle East who can root out terrorists now. These states are often not democratic, so we must balance the tensions between our short-term and our long-term goals. We cannot deny nondemocratic states the security assistance to fight terrorism or defend themselves. At the same time, we must use other points of leverage to promote democracy and hold our friends to account. That means supporting civil society, as we have done through the Forum for the Future and the Middle East Partnership Initiative, and using public and private diplomacy to push our nondemocratic partners to reform. Changes are slowly coming in terms of universal suffrage, more influential parliaments, and education for girls and women. We must continue to advocate for reform and support indigenous agents of change in nondemocratic countries, even as we cooperate with their governments on security.

An example of how our administration has balanced these concerns is our relationship with Pakistan. Following years of U.S. neglect of that relationship, our administration had to establish a partnership with Pakistan’s military government to achieve a common goal after September 11. We did so knowing that our security and that of Pakistan ultimately required a return to civilian and democratic rule. So even as we worked with President Pervez Musharraf to fight terrorists and extremists, we invested more than $3 billion to strengthen Pakistani society — building schools and health clinics, providing emergency relief after the 2005 earthquake, and supporting political parties and the rule of law. We urged Pakistan’s military leaders to put their country on a modern and moderate trajectory, which in some important respects they did. And when this progress was threatened last year by the declaration of emergency rule, we pushed President Musharraf hard to take off his uniform and hold free elections. Although terrorists tried to thwart the return of democracy and tragically killed many innocent people, including former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistani people dealt extremism a crushing defeat at the polls. This restoration of democracy in Pakistan creates an opportunity for us to build the lasting and broad-based partnership that we have never achieved with this nation, thereby enhancing our security and anchoring the success of our values in a troubled region.

Even Nepal got rid of monarchs but we are still beings ruled by kings, generals,king’s parties and now kids, you name it.

PM approves 50k tonnes wheat export to Afganistan

Updated at: 2245 PST, Tuesday, June 10, 2008

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, Tuesday approved export of 50,000 tonnes wheat to Afghanistan on discounted rate.

Afghan president Hamid Karzai a few days ago telephoned the Pakistan Prime Minister and requested him to export wheat to Afghanistan due to acute shortage of the staple food commodity.

http://www.thenews.com.pk/updates.asp?id=47227

While our own people starve to death , the PM exports wheat at discounted rate. Lanat on our rulers……

So i think , he is saying and doing exactly what is expected from him.

Pakistan exporting wheat????
what a vision…!!!!

but I am sure it is not for the people of Afghanistan but for the US troops there…
I am told that sometime age Nestle was intending to establish a water processing plant just outside Karachi for the puprpose of exporting it for the US troops in Afghanistan…they were stopped after a legal battle (not on this matter) but beacuse of the land dispute…

these are some things taht we come to know…who knows what else is happening…

oneday we will wake up to find out that the whole country has been mortgagued….

@geog47

In yesterday Parliament session, our PM said that, he has been given the list by agencies of people involved in hoarding. He further said that they all are respected people and we request them to do some favor to nation or we will take action which would cause embarrassment for them.

Some ‘honourable’ people hoarding wheat, NA told

ISLAMABAD, June 9: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani told the National Assembly on Monday he had intelligence reports about wheat hoarding by some “honourable” people who, he said, must bring their stocks to the market to ease shortages or face disgrace.

Responding to an opposition call-attention notice, he said more wheat could be imported if shortages persisted even after the already arranged import of 2.5 million metric tons arrived by the end of November while the private sector too would be able to import the grain put on the free list.

He cited hoarding as one of the reasons for wheat shortages besides the previous government’s failure to fix a support price in time, a three-fold increase in DAP fertilizer price and a resulting drop in cultivation and yield, and said he had received report on Monday from the Inter-Services Intelligence and other agencies that some “barey izzatdar” (very honourable) people were hoarding stocks.

Can we rent Maulana Deisel, this useless could be used as “Road Roller”.

@gm

go with cutters/generators/tractors…rent a construction crew with crane…

To get an idea how ZPP is reacting, see this picture.

If you notice DR SHAHID MASOOD always invite establishment people on his show ,weather it be ex generals(durrani,moinuddin haider,aslam baig etc),haqqqani etc or current politicians (sh rasheed) or the yellow journalists like najam shethy and hassan nisar.

dr shahid is loosing its viewer ship…..bolta pakistan,live with talat and columnkaar have taken over

@savage

i think we cant trust this Fuzla even as a Road Roller.

HAR !!! HAR !!! HARDY HAR !!!

Fuzla = Fazlur Rehman

nice.

@GM and savage and those connected to the movement on ground

i see the container wall as a great event in making….imagine the lawyers and civil society cutting and chipping away at the ‘WALL’ …if the berlin wall could be dismantled…this is nothing!!!
people should hire cutters/generators/blowtorches…….this wall will go down easily……this wall will serve only to empower the movement … !

I think bamboo stairs is the best..

but we have to ask first? why cross these barriers to begin with? so.. you’re gonna go 200 meteres down the road… and then what? then you’re gonna be “good boys and gals of democracy brigade” and sit by the side of the road?

what would have happened had there been no barriers? everone would have sat in front of the parliament and waited ??? in tents? talked to media and the assembly ppl going in and out?

You can do that just before the containers. In any case, the containers will be the second line of defense. Wherever the lines of defense are.. it is generating pressure within the govt and _that_ is the point.

Everytime we start talking about cutters and cranes and stuff like that, we are essentially talking about giving control to Jamaat islami. These douchebags.. HAVE NEVER setup 100 stalls against the fruqqing Moshe govt in the last 10 years.. but now they’re running around in front of everyone..

I’m really leary of these people and their “Sha’eedonn ki Palti” methods (the original ones) … cute thing is _they_ generate the “shaheeds” on an on-demand basis. This is my biggest concern right now… Jamat Islami knocking off a couple of their dirt poor student workers from Paasbaan or Shabab-e-Milli or whatever the hell they call themselves these days and then carrying their deadbodies to Islamabad and hijacking the whole event completely.

I would say stay away from any overtly violent means… and just keep it peaceful. It will all depend on the size too.. but I really don’t see the point of attacking the barricades as if we’re going to invade the parliament…

Actually I would say let us be passive agressive and really sarcastic as a way to remind the govt of what a force to be reckoned with we iz.

@ TK

ur point is valid if the barricades are outside te diplomatic enclave and parliament house only. But as per Rehman Malik recent statement, they might plan to stop people from entering Islamabad (right from Zero Point).

And i think , some times we are overestimating JI strength ( i might b wrong, though). I think gone are the days of 90s of Dharnas of JI.

point taken….whatever was to be done beyond could be done before…

with respect to passive protest; consider passive painting…get your artists to paint murals/slogans on this side of container wall!!

@TK:

“Actually I would say let us be passive agressive and really sarcastic as a way to remind the govt of what a force to be reckoned with we iz.”

hmmm….. this coud REALLY work!

The containers in the picture do not look that high (they are without the axle). I think if they can park a bus parallel to the container one can easily climb up the container and it won’t be to hard to jump from the other side.

Articles of Impeachment Template:

A list of articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush. I’m sure our lawyers can use this as a template for a charge sheet against Musharraf.

@mbokhari: ha!!! I think this would also work with Taliban.. we just need to keep our mind open and “work with teh steak holders” *cough*

I have always like Naveed Qamar and his squeaky girly voice. I think he is trying to compensate for something with his huge handlebar Moonch. I think he feeds his Moonch with ghee after the manner of General Faiz Chishti. Small and pathetic men, both.

Good luck Naveed Qamar. Where is our Roti, Kapra and Makaan?
