    Thank you, Catechism, for your providing us with Majid Nawaz‘ substack blog. Shame on me and on almost all inhabitants of the "golden billion" countries for NOT KNOWING that Sri Lanka was threatened and punished in the same way.

    Very interesting also and yet not surprising the type of language those rotten Culturicidal Evil Imperial politicians use when they blackmail ambassadors: infantile talk for people they consider as infants. "Pakistan will be punished" vs "Paksitan will be forgiven". The same kind of language slaves had to endure from their masters. "Dumbing down" ’s infinite limit.

    How very brave those nations are and their leaders (how noble Imran Khan’s anger!) – as opposed to all the "golden billion" of sheeple and their leaders, flashing their teeth as a pack of Alien dragons against the less powerful countries — and as opposed to a high-heeled clown like Zibelinsky.

    On a side note (but not unimportant): the analysts of 9/11 did soon point out the probable involvement of the Pakistani Secret Services (along with the Saudi one, and maybe the Israeli one). Given that the Pakistani army is the strong arm of the Culturicidal Empire of Evil in the country, this implicitly suggests how "mainstream" or "core policy" 9/11 was.

    "Punishing" them. I can imagine at least three ways: (1) dropping a few bottles of Dragon venom secured from the catacombs under Mariupol, (2) Stuxnetting a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, (3) weather engineering an accelerated meltdown of the Himalayan glaciers.

    Meanwhile, in France, I guess the software is warming up for Macron’s election theft.

    Thank you, Bill, for this excellent interview and interviewee. Professor of Religion and World Politics... tiens, tiens... that is quite a lecturing subject. Something our gradually-being-dumbed-down Universities have not yet been able to come up with.

    As far as I know Pakistan and may humbly express an opinion about his thoughts – I think his analysis is correct in all its details. In the subcontinent, millions taking to the streets are not so easily teargassed away.

    Pakistan calls Bill Gates
    New PM assures billionaire that Islamabad is committed to eradicating polio, after first case in over a year
    https://www.rt.com/news/554581-pakis...m_campaign=RSS

    Pakistan’s newly elected prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, has assured billionaire vaccine promoter Bill Gates that his country is committed to fully eradicating polio and will continue working with the Microsoft co-founder’s foundation on public-health initiatives.

    Sharif spoke with Gates by telephone on Tuesday, saying that his government is determined to eradicate all forms of polio. The software magnate reiterated that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) will continue supporting Pakistan’s government to help ensure that no child is at risk of being paralyzed by polio.

    The country had gone more than a year without a single new polio case – a feat that Gates hailed after traveling to Islamabad to meet with Pakistan's then-Prime Minister Imran Khan in February – but officials this month confirmed the first new infection in 15 months after a boy was paralyzed by the virus in North Waziristan district.



    Sharif and Gates discussed such topics as working to improve vaccination rates in Pakistan and providing poor people with better nutrition and “financial inclusion services.” They also discussed the country’s Covid-19 vaccination drive, and the PM called for resuming inoculations against polio in neighboring Afghanistan.

    Pakistan’s parliament elected Sharif as prime minister earlier this month, after Khan was ousted in a no-confidence motion. Khan had claimed that his cabinet was overthrown in a plot arranged by the US and that Pakistan was being handed over to an “imported government led by crooks.”

    Pakistan has endured an uphill battle to inoculate children against polio, partly because of claims that vaccination campaigns in the country are part of a Western conspiracy to sterilize children. Militants have targeted public-health workers, and the police protecting them, to disrupt vaccine drives. A female worker administering polio shots in northwestern Pakistan was shot and killed last month.

    40,000 Factories At Risk Of Closing In Pakistan's Commercial Capital Amid Fuel Crisis
    https://www.zerohedge.com/commoditie...id-fuel-crisis
    by Tyler Durden - Thursday, Jun 02, 2022 - 08:00 PM

    Pakistan faces potential economic collapse as inflation jumps and widespread civil unrest could be nearing. The latest sign the South Asian country is spiraling into the abyss is rising electricity costs that threaten to close tens of thousands of businesses.

    Bloomberg reports that as many as 40,000 factories in Karachi, the country's commercial capital, are being slapped with high power costs that make operating near impossible.

    Rising power costs are so severe that nine business groups in Karachi told the government that an immediate plan needs to be formulated to lower power costs or face economic disaster.

    Any shuttering of factories and mass layoffs could trigger social unrest in the commercial capital, home to more than 16 million people.

    Discontent among businesses and households is already soaring with an official inflation rate of over 13.37% (double the official CPI to get a more accurate picture of true price inflation), the 2nd fastest-rising rate in Asia.

    On top of high power costs, Karachi's power utility -- K-Electric Ltd. -- warned customers of widespread power cuts for the first time in over a decade if power generation continues to struggle because of high fuel costs and supply shortages.

    Quote These current conditions are severely hindering KE's ability to procure fuel, causing a permanent curtailment of power generation" that translates to as much as 10 hours of planned blackouts for some parts of the city, said Sadia Dada, a spokesperson for K-Electric."
    Pakistan is also a nuclear power -- political elites may stoke a conflict with neighboring India to distract public anger from domestic financial pain.

    Well, this has made my day.

    Pakistan: Former PM Imran Khan stuns rivals with Punjab by-election upset

    Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has renewed his call for early elections after a stunning by-election upset saw his party take control of a crucial provincial assembly.

    His PTI party won 15 of 20 seats up for grabs in Punjab, beating their arch-rivals the PML-N on their home ground.

    The result is a foretaste of what could happen in a general election due by October 2023 but which could be sooner.

    Mr Khan was ousted as prime minister in a no-confidence vote in April.

    The result in Punjab is a major blow for current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who leads the PML-N. His already weak coalition government's fate now hangs by a thread.

    Pakistan is reeling from unprecedented inflation and energy shortages - now political instability could spiral out of control.

    Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province, has long been a bastion of support for the PML-N of Mr Sharif, and his older brother, three-time former PM Nawaz Sharif.

    But the party won just four of the seats in Sunday's by-elections, with one going to an independent candidate.

    The by-elections were called after MPs from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were disqualified for switching allegiance in a vote to elect Mr Sharif's son Hamza as Punjab chief minister. His short term in office now looks set to end.

    But Imran Khan has the wind in his sails. He has been attracting thousands of PTI supporters to rallies since he was ousted.

    "The only way forward from here is to hold free and transparent elections," the former cricket star tweeted on Monday. "Any other way will only lead to increased political uncertainty and further economic chaos."

    Analyst Cyril Almeida says since it became clear to Mr Khan he was going to lose the vote of confidence in parliament, he has had a one point agenda: fresh elections as soon as possible.

    "Now it's within his grasp," Mr Almeida says. "They may try and limp on…but the government is now effectively at Imran's mercy."

    The result in Punjab suggests voters there wanted to send a message to the country's leaders about the economic hardships they are facing.

    Prices are soaring as the government tries to tackle a foreign debt crisis, inherited in large part from Imran Khan's administration before he was ousted.

    It was the first time in Pakistan's history a sitting prime minister had lost a vote of confidence. Mr Khan blames a US-led "foreign conspiracy" for his removal. Washington has denied the claim.

    Pakistan is not only irrelevant, it is also broke. Khan had no small part in that. Even the Indian channels that I watch have switched from putting him down (on grounds of being Pak) to some kind of twisted compassion for the guy as his shortcomings are obvious to everyone. It is still possible a population consisting of people with an average IQ of 80 will re-elect the guy. But that is by no means a good thing for the country.
    That the chinese-pak love affair is all but over is also a fact. also not in small part due to his machinations vis a vis the Taliban. All the "stan" countries are run by bribes and heavy corruption. When the US was still throwing billions at Pakistan they where better off but only a little bit because that money ended up in the pockets of Khans friends. Imagine that: most high ranking officers of the Pak army and ISI have mansions in the US, GB and other countries.
    Not even BRICS, that assembly of mostly loosers, wants Pak as a member. Although with Argentine (bankrupt) and South Africa (on the way to bankrupcy) joining Pak would fit right in!

    Well, that was quite an interesting comment you made about all the people of Pakistan. (What many people may begin to see from your posts is how rather unpleasant, dismissive and arrogant you fairly often are.)

    ...well --- broke... yes, HerrIn Goba, thanks for telling us. Then you also know that those billions "thrown" at Pakistan were meant to "end up" in pockets – of Khan’s maybe, but certainly also of other people’s friends, by the US, and why not by "GB" and the "other countries", so that mansions could be bought by the corrupted in the US, "GB" and the other countries – such as the heavily collaborating (with the US, the UK that is... and other countries) Germany, a country with a population consisting of people with an average IQ of 100, whose citizen you are. It takes more, HerrIn Goba, than 100 to solve the world’s problems!

    You are partly right abut the IQ issue: high IQ does not guarantee a smart government (China is a case in point). But Germany did use its potential quite smartly. Considering it rose from being utterly crushed and deprived of almost 2/3 of its land after 1945 to top exporter in 3 short decades.
    Even today Germany as small and natural resources deprived as it is has a bigger GDP than Russia. Given its history I doubt even a full gas shutdown will change that in the long run. And as for Pak (and india blessed with the same IQ on average): While IQ is not a save way of predicting what happens its a good indicator what will NOT happen. The hope of every Indian I have talked to who has some intelligence is to some day work in the USA - funny how this is not Russia - or China. Living as a smart person in a country of borderline idiots is a challenge unless you love the ancient culture and have some other ways to compensate.

    Alexander Mercouris and friends break down what it happening in Pakistan. After watching this I feel I have a much better grasp on what is happening there.

    Thank you Kryztian, quite enlightening indeed. The interesting parallel with Turkey drawn by Mercouris naturally led to the concluding words by Munib that a presidential regime might be the logical outcome of Imran Khan’s "insaaf" effort. Like in Turkey there has been a tendency among the military in Pakistan to intervene when and only when the parliamentary system gets fatally embroiled in corruption and paralysis. However, the extent to which the parliamentary workings were and have been sabotaged by "foreign powers” appears to be larger in Pakistan than it ever was in Turkey. No Prime Minister has ever been hanged in Turkey, a more precious ally probably, to be “handled” certainly, but with velvet gloves.

    Considering the record flooding that is occurring in Pakistan now, regime change may be the least of their worries.
