Lawyers’ Movement - The other side of story (Must Read)


We must see what Pakistan has achieved so far and what has been lost after the campaign of lawyers. Unfortunately, it seems that we have lost everything, and achieved nothing. Pakistan’s Economy is out of business now. Pakistan is now on the list of most insecure countries. Pakistan’s institutions are breaking up. Rotten politicians are back on stage. Most corrupt and incompetent leadership is on the charge of government. Pakistan’s armed forces and intelligence services are maligned nationally and internationally. Pakistan’s nuclear status is at stake. What more wrong and what more horrible can be expected.

The ‘Judge’ Story: It’s A Bigger Mess

The contention that a judge who stands up to a ruler and refuses to resign is washed of all his sins is as lame as a three-legged horse. All PCO judges are the same. Chaudhry Iftikhar can’t be absolved of PCO just because he said no to a dictator when his job was on the line. If he really had a reawakening, why didn’t he say no earlier while taking oath on PCO? Clearly, Kayani is the most powerful Pakistani. Most embarrassingly clear is that it is America that really runs Pakistan. Its clear too that its agents and stooges have delivered and delivered admirably by getting rid of Musharraf who had drawn a line in the sand which he would not allow America to cross. That line has now been obliterated.

Afghanistan: US, NATO Wage World’s Largest and Longest War


Afghanistan has been hurled into interminable turmoil, with hundreds of thousands of its citizens displaced; almost daily bombing runs, drone missile attacks, middle-of-the-night commando raids, indiscriminate shooting of civilians at checkpoints; mass-scale drought and famine; an explosion of opium cultivation and trafficking; expansion of that destabilization by setting Pakistan aflame with the potential for its fragmentation and dismemberment and heightened tensions with its - fellow nuclear - neighbor India.This is the current, grave situation seven and a half years after the invasion of Afghanistan.

Obama And The Neocon Middle East War Agenda

And Obama would undoubtedly be pushed in this belligerent direction by the neoconservatives outside his administration and the hawks within, as well as by Congress under the sway of the Israel Lobby. Given Obama’s record so far, it seems highly unlikely that he would resist. American hardline policies such as a naval blockade or the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities would inevitably spiral into a full-scale war.

Russia’s New Model Army - The Bear is back!

THE BEAR is back and this time the bellicose beast means business. In one of the most decisive foreign policy initiatives of his presidency, Russia’s leader, Dmitry Medvedev, took off his gloves last week and announced a comprehensive plan to modernise and rearm his country’s armed forces and reclaim its position as a global power.Stung by Nato’s enlargement eastwards towards Russia’s borders and angered by the US decision to site missile defences in eastern Europe, Medvedev has retaliated by announcing a budget equivalent to £30 billion for weapons purchases this year, including the creation of a new strategic nuclear fleet, and a top-to bottom restructuring of the country’s armed forces.

List: CIA Proprietary Agencies Worldwide

Herewith a listing of what are called ‘proprietary agencies’ or, more to the point, front groups, for our official state torturers and rendition water boarders. This is not a complete listing by any means but all beginnings are difficult. Under international law, it is illegal to torture people but the Bush people had no interest in international law.

Obama And His Dick Cheney

Here’s how well they have us trained: The powers that be are no longer gonna call the illegally detained terrorism suspects [sic] by the name of “enemy combatants.” Like the pre-programmed robots we’ve all become, we’ll celebrate this as a welcome and much-needed change from the reviled Bush-Cheney administration. A step in the right direction, we might even say.

The Real US Financial Crisis Has Yet To Begin

The size of the US financial bubble that has gone bust is so large that it is impossible to quantify the losses due to the lack of transparency. The US banks, backed by the power of the Federal Reserve to issue paper currency without any limit, had over the past several decades gone global in raising money, issuing debts and all kinds of instruments in their proprietary trading and investment. They had several dozen times over-leveraged their capital. Wall Street and US banks’ easy money, fueled by a low interest-rate policy during the Greenspan era, created a bubble economy.

This world wide attack of media is making people sick. Tv channels , internet, print, politics and money have created a mountain of hyper atmosphere. People are becoming psycho.


Can we at least limit this forum to more sane topics.
