With a traumatized nation and a paralyzed government, a core group of secular ideologues and Hindu nationalists are executing a ‘soft coup’ in New Delhi to bring to power hawks who want to pursue America’s agenda of grooming India as a regional policeman, sort out Pakistan and confront China. India will self-destroy in the process. India’s military and intelligence has been penetrated. The man who uncovered the plot, Hemant Karkare, the antiterrorism chief of Mumbai police, was the first target of the mysterious terrorists. Patriotic Indians need to wake up and save their country.
The following is BBC’s news report from Tuesday, 10 October 2006
Seven men have retracted their confessions a week after police in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) said they had solved recent serial bombings. They told a court on Monday that their admission of guilt was obtained by police bullying and coercion. The court remanded them in judicial custody until 20 October.
More than 180 people were killed and 700 wounded in the bomb blasts in commuter trains in July. Police arrested 16 “key suspects”.
‘Political pressure’
Police said Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) – along with two Pakistan-based militant organisations – were behind the bombings. The lawyer for the seven accused men, Shahid Azmi, claimed his clients were forced to sign on blank papers. He said their signatures were not obtained in the presence of a police officer of the rank of deputy commissioner, which is mandatory under the law.
Most of the 16 accused men have been arrested under a law called the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act.
Mr Azmi said the police knew many of the accused men some time before the Mumbai blasts.
“They were picked up and let off several times between 2001 and 2006 on suspicions of being involved in the bomb blasts that took place in this period. But they have now been re-arrested under political pressure,” he said.
Police say they have evidence against all the men arrested, which will be produced in court during the trial. But there were some who expressed doubts over recent police claims that they had solved the Mumbai bomb blasts case, and the finger-pointing at Pakistan’s ISI. They say police must produce firm evidence against the accused men which can stand in court.
Having cried wolf a few times too many, its not surprising that the rest of the world has, to be frank, had enough. Its about time India acknowledged the threats within its own borders not just from Muslims who feel increasingly alienated, but the rising threat of Hindu Terrorism, as proven in the case of the Malegaon attacks and Samjhauta Express bombings. Pointing the finger at Pakistan every time while ignoring / denying the threats it faces from within, coupled with a failure to address the deep-seated problems that fuel this hatred – will be counterproductive and will have disastrous consequences for India in the months/years to come.

Chrtistine Fair, senior political scientist and a South Asia expert at the RAND Corporation, was careful to say that the identity of the terrorists could not yet be known. But she insisted the style of the attacks and the targets in Mumbai suggested that the militants were likely to be Indian Muslims – and not linked to Al Qaeda or the violent South Asian terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
“There’s absolutely nothing Al Qaeda-like about it,” she said of the attack. “Did you see any suicide bombers? And there are no fingerprints of Lashkar. They don’t do hostage taking, and they don’t do grenades.” Fair believes the attacks could be “yet another manifestation of domestic terrorism” that has its genesis in a longstanding institutional discrimination against Muslims.
“There are a lot of very, very angry Muslims in India,” she said, “The economic disparities are startling, and India has been very slow to publicly embrace its rising Muslim problem. You cannot put lipstick on this pig. This is a major domestic political challenge for India.”
“The public political face of India says, ‘Our Muslims have not been radicalized.’ But the Indian intelligence apparatus knows that’s not true. India’s Muslim communities are being sucked into the global landscape of Islamist jihad.
“Indians will have a strong incentive to link this to Al Qaeda. ‘Al Qaeda’s in your toilet!’ But this is a domestic issue. This is not India’s 9/11.” Hoffman agreed that the assault was “not exactly Al Qaeda’s modus operandi, which is suicide attacks.”
‘India trains all sorts of peoples, from terrorists to militants to fanatics, to suit its national and international needs. But in order to cover up its nefarious activities it focuses on Islam, Muslims, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Hajj, etc.; and blames its neighbors. Indian intelligence agencies are frustrated over the strong lobbying for highlighting Kashmir human rights violations at international forums by some NGOs in Europe and U.S., with the support of Indian human rights and peace activists. A huge lot of resources are being wasted on propaganda purposes by Indian government directly throughout the world.’
‘The Indian government has two choices. First, it can simply say that the perpetrators are a domestic group. In that case, it will be held accountable for a failure of enormous proportions in security and law enforcement. It will be charged with being unable to protect the public. On the other hand, it can link the attack to an outside power: Pakistan. In that case it can hold a nation-state responsible for the attack, and can use the crisis atmosphere to strengthen the government’s internal position by invoking nationalism. Politically this is a much preferable outcome for the Indian government, and so it is the most likely course of action. This is not to say that there are no outside powers involved — simply that, regardless of the ground truth, the Indian government will claim there were.’
‘India’s political leaders have long congratulated themselves on the absence of any home-grown al-Qaida threat.
But this week’s attack in Mumbai is the latest in a series of incidents that have forced the Indian government to acknowledge privately that there may be Islamist militant groups within its borders. Pranab Mukherjee, India’s foreign minister, explicitly accused Pakistan of involvement yesterday, but Indian defence analysts concede that it would have been near impossible to mount such a carefully coordinated assault on the city without some degree of local support.’
‘In the interests of combating terrorism, it won’t be long before anti-terrorist squads ask Indians with Muslim names questions like: what are you doing out so late? Do you have a legitimate reason for walking near that hotel? How can you prove that you live in this city? If you’re not from here, what reason do you have for being in this city? It won’t be long before Indian Muslims are arrested simply for being Muslims, and asked to prove that they are not terrorists. As for the public, the great majority will applaud these actions. They’ll say it is unfortunate, but it is necessary. We know this because we have seen it all before.’
Also, lets revisit the Samjhota Express blasts as well as Melagaon, both of which were blamed on Pakistan (ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiba) just as they’re trying to pin this one on us.
‘Indian authorities and the media were quick to assert that the evidence overwhelmingly pointed towards Pakistan and ISI. With the immediate release of sketches of the suspects, it seemed that Indians had it all figured out. For Pakistan it was nothing more than a feeling of déjà vu; India is known to have a history of blaming Pakistan and ISI for the smallest of occurrences in India, hardly ever backing it up with any credible evidence. And so when in 2006 Malegaon, a town in the Nashik district of the Indian state of Maharashtra, located at some 290 km to the northeast of state capital Mumbai, was rattled by a series of bombings, the blame was put on groups having links with Pakistan and Bangladesh. The Maharashtra Police blamed the Student Islamic Movement of India, further linking them to Lashkar-e-Taiba and in turn the ISI.’
‘The unlikely twist surfaced recently in India with the arrests of 10 people, including a serving Lieutenant Colonel Prashad Srikant Purohit, a Hindu monk and nun for their alleged involvement in bomb explosions that killed six people in the Muslimdominated town of Malegaon this year. So far, ten people, including a selfproclaimed Hindu seer and a serving lieutenant colonel, have been arrested for their involvement in the Sep 29 bombing. Besides Purohit, of the accused also include Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Shivnarayan Singh Kalsangram, Shyam Bhawarlal Sahu, Major Ramesh Shivji Upadhyay (retd), Sameer Kulkarni, Rakesh Dattaram Dhavde and Ajay Rahirkar. The suspicion is now directed at the extremist Hindu movement Sangh Parivar, a network linked to a former Major, and now in custody, Ramesh Upadhyay who represents the terrorist organization, Abhinav Bharat.’
The majority of the corporate media has gleefully seized upon the terror attacks in Mumbai to claim that they are the work of “Al-Qaeda,” despite clear and contradictory evidence suggesting otherwise, as a pretext to increase bombing campaigns in Pakistan and beef support for the ailing war on terror in Afghanistan.
“Earlier eyewitness reports from the hotels suggested the attackers were singling out British and American passport holders,” reports the BBC.
“If the reports are true, our security correspondent Frank Gardner says it implies an Islamist motive – attacks inspired or co-ordinated by al-Qaeda.”
Really? Perhaps the BBC’s “security correspondent” should be worried about his job security, because the facts directly contradict previous alleged “Al-Qaeda” attacks.
Since when do Al-Qaeda take hostages? Since when do they hang around to be caught? Since when do Al-Qaeda use grenades rather than bombs or suicide bombs?
And if the attacks were targeted against British and American citizens then tell me why, out of at least 101 killed, was there only one British victim?
If the attacks were targeted against British and American citizens then why were the terrorists reported to be firing AK-47’s indiscriminately into crowds of (mainly Indian) people? Out of 101 victims, only six were foreigners, the rest were Indian. This was blatantly not a targeted attack against British and American citizens, but it is being spun that way by the media so as to justify a coordinated British and American military response, which will no doubt take the form of more bombing raids inside Pakistan and an increased presence in Afghanistan.
Strange that none of the media (TV or Print) have picked this up at all. Or have they been deliberately ignoring it?
Have a look at the above picture of one of the terrorists. [Another angle]
Notice the orange thread / band on his right hand.
Tying a red thread or cord around the wrist is a Hindu practice and it is unlikely a Muslim, especially one politicized enough to carry out an attack such as this, would observe it. I think this provides more evidence that this was a false flag operation or at least an attack by a non-Muslim group. For more information about the significance of the red thread see wikipedia and this blog post. [Thanks to Uruk]
Additionally, the terrorists inside the Nariman House Building were reported to have stocked up on supplies on Wednesday evening, buying not just food items but liquor, among other things, from a local store [Source]. Again, it is highly unlikely that a Muslim, let alone a ‘Mujahid’, and especially one politicized enough to carry out such an attack, would consume liquor in normal life, let alone hours before his inevitable ‘martyrdom’.
Don’t let them ignore it. Circulate this to as many people as you can as we strongly believe it wouldn’t have been ignored if the terrorists were carrying a copy of the Qur’an, or a taveez.
For the past many weeks, the biggest story in India was involvement of Indian Military Intelligence officers in orchestrated acts of terrorism against Muslims to create a Hindu-Muslim riot situation as well as to create a justification for war against Pakistan. Many Indian army officers were caught and Indian Police was forced to work deeper into finding more BJP, Bajrang Dal and RSS terrorists in Indian military and Intelligence setup. This story had created a serious panic in Indian military and their Fascist patrons in Hindu Zionists. Something had to be done to divert the attention of the world and Indian public from acts of terrorism by Hindu Hardliners. …..Then comes the Mumbai Massacre.
Even when the shootings were going on in hotels, Indian media and army were blaming Pakistan for the attacks. The game is clear and sinister. The Indian Intelligence have diverted the global attention towards another issue where they would blame Pakistan for this slaughter and use Barack Obama’s doctrine of attacks on Pakistan to encircle Pakistan from both sides. It is such a shame that Pakistani media is not highlighting this issue and is only repeating what Indians want the world to see and
believe.
There is no such group in India as Daccan Mujahideen.
In the coming days, Pakistan should prepare for a high risk threat response as Indians would go to any limit to open another front against Pakistan to divert the local and world attention from their internal fascist elements in Hindu Zionists and military intelligence. The enclosed document is a BT policy paper and explains the actual sinister game which Hindu fascists are trying to hide.
May Allah protect Pakistan from all enemies.
Wassalam and Dua / Pakistan Zindabaad / Zaid Hamid
Mumbai’s night of terror underscores a phenomenon concealed by the Indian government and intelligence agencies and deliberately ignored by a biased Anglo-American media for a long time: The rise of a virulent form of Hindu terrorism that begets violence from other minorities. Here is a list of almost one hundred groups that are fighting the Indian government. All of them thrive in India. The context for what has happened in Mumbai is stunning only for those unaware how a cocktail mix of wrong policies, official patronage to extremism, and separatist movements have come together to destabilize India.
Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshall, Tanvir Mahmood has said that Pakistan Air Force is fully capable to stop drones’ flights and missile strikes.
He said that it was up to the government to decide whether it wanted to benefit from PAF capabilities and deter the aggressors violating territorial integrity of the country.
This is in addition to the recent exercise by the army where it sent out a strong message about its defence capabilities. Pakistan Army also has its own fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles, ready to be deployed instead of the CIA controlled drones terrorizing our citizens.
In what is the latest telling sign of the deteriorating relationship between the army and Zardari’s government, the Air Chief Marshall has come out to slap down the Government claims and show them up for the liars they are.
Here’s what the CIA-imposed ‘democratic’ Government has been saying:
And finally, PM Gilani tries to justify US attacks on Pakistan.
Ofcourse all of this comes in the backdrop of the recent revelations of the agreement reached between Zardari and the US in September, as reported by the Washington Post:
America’s killer drones are getting all the attention, in the fight against Pakistani militants. But Pakistan’s military has plenty of unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, too. And they’re being used to spy on suspected insurgents, and listen in on their phone calls.
“Al-Qaida and Taliban fighters use not just mobile and satellite phones for communication, but also sophisticated military radios,” Defense News notes. So companies like East West Infiniti are building SIGINT [signals intelligence] for small drones and robotic blimps, to capture those conversations.
Karachi-based Integrated Dynamics actually exports its Border Eagle surveillance drone to the United States for border patrol duties. The company also makes drones the turbojet-powered Tornado decoy, which can fly up to 200 kilometers, and emit false radar signals to “confuse enemy air defenses into thinking they are attacking aircraft,” Defense News says.
The gear will all be on display at the end of the month, at IDEAS, Pakistan’s big military trade show.
Kamran Khan (Aj Kamran Khan Ke Sath, GEO) took it upon himself to deal another body blow to the fast sinking Dr. Shahid Masood. With reference to Dr. Masood’s appearance in Iftikhar Ahmed’s ‘Jawab Deh’ (November 23rd), Kamran Khan made the following observations:
Dr. Shahid Masood claimed in ‘Jawab Deh’ that Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad had been his class-fellow. This is proven to be a lie. They didn’t even attend the same institution.
Dr. Shahid Masood claimed in this column in Jang (a day after Musharraf’s resignation) that he was present in the same room that Musharraf gave his resignation speech in. This again, has been proved a lie by a serving member of the President’s House staff who called in. The official visitor’s list does not include Dr. Shahid Masood’s name as he had been stopped at the reception. Additionally, Hassan Kazmi who is a senior producer of Samaa TV and was actually part of Samaa TV’s broadcast team at the venue and an eye-witness to the entire event, also confirms that Dr. Shahid Masood’s article in Jang was a bundle of lies.
Dr. Shahid Masood claimed in Iftikhar Ahmed’s ‘Jawab Deh’ on Geo, November 23rd, that all expenses for the ‘Dialogue’ (Dr. Shahid’s think-tank) conferences in Dubai and the US were paid for by those who attended. One of the members called in to expose this as yet another lie; all expenses, including airline tickets and hotel bookings were infact paid for by Dr. Shahid Masood himself.
Dr. Shahid Masood’s time seems to be up. He should pack his bags and get the first flight out to London Heathrow (If he hasn’t done so already) and continue seeking asylum in the UK and living off benefits – something he may well need the way things have turned out.
UPDATE: The video of ‘Aaj Kamran Khan Ke Saath’ aired on November 24th will be linked to as soon as it becomes available online. Watch this space.
For those who had missed the Express News TV program, these are the videos of Kal Tak with Javed Chaudhry. They had heavily censored Mr. Zaid Hamid comments but still some went through. It was a fierce argument between Mr. Zaid Hamid and Dr. Pervez Hodhbhoy. Dr. AQ Khan also speaks briefly via phone.
Jazak Allah Khair for thumping the atheist Hoodbhoy. / BrassTacks
Watch Dr. Shahid Masood being destroyed on Geo’s ‘Jawab Deh’ (November 23rd 08) by the host Iftikhar Ahmed as he is shown up for being corrupt, a hypocrite, and of extremely questionable moral character.
You’ll almost feel sorry for Dr. Masood as he squirms in the hot-seat, mumbling and making it up throughout the session as Iftikhar Ahmed questions his opportunism and many of the actions he’s taken in the last few years, as well as the motivation behind them.
For someone who’s used to being on the other side of the barrel, its surprising to see Dr. Masood unnerved by the intelligent (if a little rude) barrage of questions fired his way. His reputation and credibility lies in tatters and its about time someone did the same to Hamid Mir and a few others currently occupying our airwaves.
Neatly tucked under the well constructed – and expensive – veneer of ‘Incredible India’ advertisements on international television channels is the hottest Indian story: The fast rise of Indian religious terrorist organizations that have penetrated India’s military and politics. The movement is so strong, resourceful and organized that it warrants the label India’s Hindu al-Qaeda.
The arrest last week of a serving Indian army colonel who along with some other officers has allegedly transferred military funds, material and training to terrorist groups is a matter that should not escape the attention of India’s neighbors, since it is directly linked to New Delhi’s new desire for expanding its reach beyond its borders and to serve as the regional policeman for American interests in the Asia-Pacific.
Obama is to finish what Bush could not – invade Pakistani tribal areas or perhaps the country itself. But before that Pakistan has to be brought on its knees in terms of economy and defense. The IMF deal and the attempt to weaken ISI is part of this plan. Everywhere we see signatures of covert CIA operations against Pakistan. The war plans are already in advance stages and we are seriously concerned over the developments. PPP government’s understanding with Americans is to make some noises but facilitate the U.S. plan. This betrayal and political impasse over national security issues puts army chief into a very tight corner. Despite the fact that army has seen through the CIA game, it is unable or unwilling to act at the moment as it would mean practically overthrowing the government or confronting it directly. For now, the army chief maintains the protocol, at least for the camera but would be surely conveying his message in many ways.
With Iraq closer to de facto partition, America can now turn its attention to Pakistan. This change of focus has been sign posted now for at least twelve months. In June 2007 the US published its National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) with some startling new revelations. Despite citing its numerous successes against Al-Qa’idah since September 2001 including these statements in a declassified document titled “Trends in Global Terrorism: Implications for the United States” dated April 2006 stated the following “United States – led counterterrorism efforts have seriously damaged the leadership of Al-Qa’idah and disrupted its operations… We assess the global jihadist movement is decentralised, lacks a coherent global strategy, and is becoming more diffuse.”
Yet the collective US intelligence community made a volte-face fourteen months later when it said the following: “We assess the group (Al-Qa’idah) has protected or regenerated key elements of its Homeland attack capability, including: a safe haven in the Pakistan Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), operational lieutenants, and its top leadership.”
So, in effect what the US intelligence community was saying was that its six year war against Al-Qa’idah had been a failure and that to win the war effectively required action within Pakistan. The pretext for war within Pakistan was therefore created; any attack on any US target from now on that was traced to the FATA would give the US casus belli to undergo a massive retaliatory attack within Pakistan. Indeed Frances Townsend Homeland Security adviser to Bush said shortly after the NIE was published that the United States would be willing to send troops into Pakistan to root out Al-Qa’idah, noting specifically that “no option is off the table if that is what is required”.
“Today, virtually every major terrorist threat that my agency is aware of has threads back to the tribal areas. Whether it is command and control, training, direction, money, capabilities, there is a connection to the FATA (Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas.)” Continue Reading
General Hayden said that al-Qaeda remained a “determined, adaptive enemy” operating “from its safe haven in Pakistan”. He added: “If there is a major attack on this country it will bear the fingerprints of al-Qaeda.”
He said that the border region remained the base of al-Qaeda’s leadership, which had developed a more durable structure and a deep reserve of skilled operatives. “AlQaeda, operating from its safe haven in Pakistan’s tribal areas, remains the most clear and present danger to the safety of the United States,” General Hayden said.
While the presidential election campaign has avoided the issue of a Second 9/11, both candidates have acknowledged the dangers of a second attack. Both Barack Obama and John McCain have underscored their resolve to protect America against Al Qaeda:
[Question: Who's the enemy?] “Al Qaeda, the Taliban, a whole host of networks that are bent on attacking America, who have a distorted ideology, who have perverted the faith of Islam, and so we have to go after them.” (Barack Obama in response to Bill O’Reilly, Fox News, September 5, 2008
“We have dealt a serious blow to al Qaeda in recent years. But they are not defeated, and they’ll strike us again if they can.” (John McCain, Acceptance Speech, September 5, 2008)
The current war in Afghanistan is not really about al-Qaida and `terrorism,’ but about opening a secure corridor through Pashtun tribal territory to export the oil and gas riches of the Caspian Basin of Central Asia to the West. The US and NATO forces in Afghanistan are essentially pipeline protection troops fighting off the hostile natives..
Both Barack Obama and John McCain are wrong about Afghanistan. It is not a `good’ fight against `terrorism,’ but a classic, 19th-century colonial war to advance Western geopolitical power into resource-rich Central Asia. The Pashtun Afghans who live there are ready to fight for another 100 years. The Western powers certainly are not.
As that great American founding father Benjamin Franklin said, `there is no good war, and no bad peace.’ Time for the West to face reality in Afghanistan.
America’s war is costing Pakistan $6 billion every year, which means $34 billion since 2001, which means three times more than the $10 billion reimbursements – and not aid as American propaganda is painting it – that we’ve received since 9/11. And Husain Haqqani has the gall to lecture us that it is our ‘own’ war.
“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair” (H. L. Mencken)
If the above definition stands valid, then we’re all radicals. If one has to take a positive out of the disastrous last 9 months that the PPP has been in power, it will be that finally, we may be seeing the beginning of the end of this failed system. Everywhere you look there’s despair, anger and resentment building in the hearts of our countrymen. Be it the botched aid efforts in Baluchistan where the victims continue to beg for help, the unprecedented rise in energy prices, the continuing terrorist attacks inside Pakistan and in our border areas carried out by the those who wish to see our destruction (which sadly includes those who have been thrust upon us by outsiders, in the shape of the current ‘democratic’ government).
They would do well not to underestimate the power of the people. We’re used to living a life concerned only with ourselves and our immediate surroundings, blaming everything on the ‘system’, failing to understand the suffering of our brethren and admitting that we, by encouraging this corrupt and failed system, are just as much to blame.
This time though, its our own survival which is at stake. Whether its power breakdowns, rising costs of food / education / healthcare, street crime and the rising violence – every one is being made to suffer in some way or the other. Add to that the war being waged on our Western borders, even if some of us would like to bury their heads in the sand and ignore it.
The nation is divided, half patriots and half traitors, and no man can tell which from which.
Our very existance is under threat with both exernal as well as internal forces hellbent on changing the geography of Pakistan. Huge billboards promoting the idea of a greater ‘Pashtunistan’ are openly being erected in NWFP while traitors like Brahmdagh Bugti is allowed to freelyincite hatred and terrorism against Pakistan. If they’re allowed to continue, thats half the country gone. Simple as.
Sadly, they ARE being allowed to continue. Infact the PPP government appears to be bending over backwards to facilitate the wider game plan.
Aside from deliberately creating and facilitating Pakistan’s economic crisis (Source | Source | Source) in order to justify leading the nation right into the IMF Trap, have a look at the kind of comments our ‘leaders’ have come up with recently, on the subject of US attacks on Pakistan soil:
Corner a dog and you watch its bollocks grow. Zardari and Gilani need to grow a pair. Infact just comparing them with a dog is an insult – to dogs everywhere. Apologies.
Ofcourse all of this comes in the backdrop of the recent revelations of the agreement reached between Zardari and the US in September, as reported by the Washington Post:
The PPP government has recently passed a bill which basically allows the FIA to arrest any one speaking out against this government’s policies online. [More]. This is in addition to Zardari’s instructions to the FIA to to hunt down Pakistanis responsible for circulating jokes about Mr. Zardari through emails and text messages.
We understand this puts us at risk, but as Edmund Burke once said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. (Theodore Roosevelt, 1918)
I believe that applies to us just as well
Is there not some chosen curse, some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man who owes his greatness to his country’s ruin?
The most disturbing part is that the PPP government, which came to power in Islamabad through an arrangement exclusively brokered by Washington, is unwilling to confront the Americans. Now we have 40-feet wide billboards that have mysteriously sprung up on the main roads of NWFP [picture courtesy of BrassTacks] showing the map of a new country – Pashtunistan – with meticulously defined borders that incorporate most of northwestern Pakistan. The Pakistani Pashtun, the bravest and the most loyal subjects of the Pakistani state, are being pushed toward separatism with full speed. This ‘billboard campaign’ has to be the boldest statement of rebellion and separatism ever made in the history of nation-states anywhere in the world. Yet it’s business as usual in Islamabad. How long will the Pakistani state continue on this path of self destruction?
Impartial observant analysts have been saying for years since the so-called war on terrorism turned into a regular bloody duel between the US-led forces and the terror groups that the terrorists could not have gone on battling without a big source of total combat support at their back. This fact finally began to dawn on Pakistan’s military command when the programmed terrorists under the guise of religion were let loose on this country. The military and civil leaders, however, have rarely voiced this charge in public.
The source of the terror groups’ power is none other than the Mossad—the principal executor of the sinister schemes of Israel and world Zionism. It has been repeatedly identified by analysts in Pakistan as well as in America and Europe with substantial evidence. The unearthing of the Jewish network backing the terrorists is another firm proof of this fact. Time has come for Pakistan to raise the alarm and make the world aware of this gross treachery. Providence has now provided the opportunity.
If you want to see the face to true love and selfless sacrifice for Pakistan, look at Baba Mehar deen at Wagah border Lahore. He is there everyday for the last 60 years after sacrificing all he had for this sacred home for the Muslims. He has never asked what Pakistan has given him but have dutifully sacrificed all he had. But we know what Pakistan has given him. Pakistan has given him dignity, Izzat and a base to challenge and confront the Hindus who slaughtered millions of helpless muhajireen in 1947. Now he goes there every day to wait for this missing children and to challenge the Hindu Zionists till the last day of his life. Look into his eyes and see the love for the country oozing out of his frail body. His soul remains immersed in love and his Ishq is this sarzameen we call Pakistan.
Baba Mehar deen, your sacrifices are not in vein. You remain the most dangerous threat for the enemies of Pakistan for you continue to revive our hopes, faith and belief in the sacrifices of our forefathers for this beloved land of ours. We swear by Allah that we will not let your sacrifices go waste, never to betray your love and faith and inshallah will go back once again with the flag you hold to retake what you left behind. Allah be our witness and protector.
Lahore: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has honoured Baba Mehar Deen, the 80-year-old lead soldier who has been performing the flag-lowering ceremony at dusk every day at Wagah on the India-Pakistan border for the last 40 years.
He has been given Rs50,000 (Dh3,025) and a ticket to Saudi Arabia to perform umrah for displaying “exemplary patriotism and true love for Pakistan”.
His smart drill excites the visitors on the Pakistani side to shout the patriotic ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ and the religious cry ‘Allah-o-Akbar,’ the Daily Times said yesterday.
The drill at the Wagah Post, the principal entry-exit point on the India-Pakistan border, is performed by a contingent from the Pakistan Rangers. [link]
The worst part of the entire vice is that they prefer “party politics” as opposed to “national”, considering Pakistan first! No matter where you are, in the National or Provincial Assemblies, Senate, President or PM House, Official Functions or Parties, Meetings or Gatherings, the four walls of the venue and the open air echoes with the slogans of ‘Jeyay Bhutto’, ‘Shaheed Benazir Bhutto’, ‘Bhutto Zinda Hai’, ‘Benazir Zinda Hai’, and all other kinds of crap related to Bhutto family. Interesting thing is, instead of stopping these Jiyalas and telling them to behave, Peoples Party leaders; President, PM and Ministers are also involved in this ‘halla gulla’.
Another factor, which is extremely obnoxious and against the nationalism is that Peoples Party tries their utmost to change the existing names of every institution, organization, College, University, City, Place and Street with the name of Bhutto and Benazir….Islamabad Airport’s name, Nawabshah City’s name have been changed to Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. Benazir Chair have been established in the Karachi and Sindh Universities. There are tons of other likewise examples which I don’t remember. I guess, if they happened to be completing their 5-year term of government, nothing would be left but Bhutto and Benazir. Why don’t you just change the name of “Pakistan” to “Bhuttodesh” idiots?
For the moment, there is great euphoria among Pakistani liberals over the presumed ‘return to democracy’. The comments by Ayesha Tanmy Haq are typical: ‘We have removed a dictator by the citizenry showing that real power lies with them.’ The hapless liberals have yet to discover Late Neo-colonialism and its devious manoeuvres for regime change; they have in fact effectively legitimised them by opposing Musharraf. They are agonisingly unaware of the labyrinthine geo-politics and economic imperatives underlying the New Cold War. They are blissfully going along with the collaborationist leaders who are bartering away the country’s future for the proverbial pieces of silver.
Apart from a couple of inaccuracies, most of what Dr. Sathananthan has to say is spot on, and just goes on to confirm everything Mr. Zaid Hamid has been telling us for months.

The 40-year-old economist has been associated with the overseas activities of the Sangh Parivar. She was a national coordinator of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America campaign to raise funds for Gujarat earthquake victims in 2001.
Her father Ramesh Shah, a vice-president of the Overseas Friends of the Bharatiya Janata Party (OFBJP), had campaigned for LK Advani in Gandhinagar during the 2004 Lok Sabha elections. He had also briefly traveled with Advani during his Bharat Udaya Yatra, countrywide election tour.
Even some Americans are alarmed at the ideas of Mr. Obama’s pointman on Pakistan. This is how Thomas Houlahan, a Washington-based expert on Pakistani military affairs, described Mr. Riedel on Geo News over the weekend:
“Barrack Obama’s South Asia advisor Bruce Riedel is dangerously misinformed on Pakistan, sees the Pakistani army as the source of all evil in the [region], and thinks it needs to be cut down to size to essentially a glorified police force, which is essentially what they are talking about when they say we need to steer [Pakistani military] away from fighter jets and tanks and turn it into a counterterrorism force. And it doesn’t seem to occur to these geniuses that having a glorified police force with nuclear weapons might not be a good idea.”
The progeny of the sons of Ibn Saud are able men, habituated to reigning and ruling, and remain well informed about the world around them. What thoughts would have flashed through King Abdullah’s shrewd mind when told that President Asif Zardari, apart from bringing with him a begging bowl, brought 240 people, mostly presidential cronies and friends, involving three chartered flights? How would he have reacted to the sparing of no pains by the prime minister of Pakistan to assure everyone that Zardari had footed the bill for the 240 and their spin to SA out of his own depthless pockets? Would the expenses incurred not have been better used to bolster up the national kitty? If he has so much lucre to spread around, why the rush from counter to counter pleading for funds?
With a traumatized nation and a paralyzed government, a core group of secular ideologues and Hindu nationalists are executing a ‘soft coup’ in New Delhi to bring to power hawks who want to pursue America’s agenda of grooming India as a regional policeman, sort out Pakistan and confront China. India will self-destroy in the process. India’s military and intelligence has been penetrated. The man who uncovered the plot, Hemant Karkare, the antiterrorism chief of Mumbai police, was the first target of the mysterious terrorists. Patriotic Indians need to wake up and save their country.
