Pakistan is in a state of total systemic collapse on the one hand, and is also under terrorist attack. Are these misfortunes a coincidence? Whose doing is this? Are we pinpointing the right culprits and causes? Because until we do, everything is positively screwed.
The economy is collapsing...the electricity system is collapsing...government ...management is collapsing....resources such as natural gas are dwindling...things and people are uncontrollable, and are in the maximum destructive mode of corrupt rapacity.....Who ravaged national development? Who rifled the Treasury? THE ELITE...Who stole Western aid money? THE ELITE...Who ravaged infrastructural and general development? THE ELITE...Who set a bad precedent of lawlessness and corruption? THE ELITE...Who created Taliban terrorism? THE ELITE........Who pays absolutely no taxes? THE ELITE........Who makes a hash of the laws? THE ELITE........And yet, the elite are partying away as if there is no tomorrow.....
Our army is also part of this elite - rather it is the cream; but it is still disciplined, otherwise this joke of a country would not remain to be ruled over.....still, I wonder what kind of an army it is - because with so much dysfunction around, allowed and created by it - what kind of country will they have left to defend? Are they defending this country to defend it - as any army should - or to prey on it?
So, the elite stands fully implicated and marked out as the germ of our national disease in full - the first class multi-criminals that they are, as do its Western patron powers....but nobody can touch them even.....yet. These local ruling elites are NOTHING without the backing of their Western elders. They are all now prominently exposed, but as yet too powerful to touch. That will not always be the case, and there will certainly be those with long memories around, waiting for the opportune time to arrive to pronounce justice; it shouldn't take that long now, and that time may even be less than a year away.....
There are also other powerful upwardly mobile social "wannabes" and lobbies jostling for the same dirty status and power as the traditional British-time ruling elite combine exercises: like the Pakistani middle classes and Pathan tribal smugglers - who are potential rivals of this elite, yet their goal is aspire to berths in it, or to become auxilliaries....the whole "nation" is therefore caught in a criminal, lawless and lowlife pattern.
And a note about the Awami National Party of Pakhtunkhwa is in order here. One of the very few political "entities" here always regarded as being "anti-establishment", that illusion is now fully demolished. In its cynical passion to rule and take power, the ANP hurriedly joined the doomed Pakistani establishment in its final hour. (There were coalition governments by the same elements that constitute the ANP before in Pakistani history, but never were they so in bed with it as they are now). The "successors" of Ghaffar Khan's noble struggle thought it fit to do so, oblivious to the fact that it would spell their end too. But I suppose it was the best thing they were fit to do. In doing so, this party of the rascally and rapidly growing Pashtun "globalised" bourgeoisie of Pakistan, has also signed its own Black Warrant. It is a strange irony of fate indeed, that it effectively put paid to whatever vague neutral reputation it may have had for decades, by taking the plunge and joining the establishment at a time when the end of Pakistan itself was drawing near and clearly visible to those with eyes...But I think they are too callous to care for such considerations now. Our third rate public opinion says that they won't be re-elected in the "next elections"..... That might be true, but what is more true - but as yet not noticed by the extremely myopic Pashtun/Pakistani public mentality - is that a horrendous social catastrophe is in the making....one in which all these forces have taken full part to cause and create. So one can forget about niceties such as elections, and the benign misfortune of losing them. All such considerations are now comfortably and thankfully in the past. Wait for the "Big Bang de la Pakistan"......and that will be thereafter followed by the global decline and fall of the second Anglo-Saxon world imperium, the Empire of the United States of America - Defender in Chief of Global Corruption, Patron of Thieves and the Standard Bearer International Human Moral Indecency.......Frankly speaking, the intensity and magnitude of corruption has reached such a momentum, that only a catastrophic conflagration can remedy it and its effects.
