US Government is Behind the Baluchi Insurrection

When Islamabad accused foreign governments of fueling and arming the unrest in Baluchistan, they were absolutely correct.

(ISLAMABAD / WASHINGTON) - The corporate-financier funded NGOs that fomented the “Arab Spring” are now cultivating a united Baluchi front ahead of a proposed US-funded Baluchistan insurrection.

Is Pakistan Being Cast as the Next Plausible Evil Doer?

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

(TEMPE, Az.) - Conspiracy theorists assure us that Osama bin Laden was killed in December 2001 and his body put on ice in—of course—an undisclosed location. If the recent killing of bin Laden was a lie, who were the liars?

`Raymond Davis` - Can Imran Khan Save America`s Relationship With Pakistan?

Davis was arrested as a criminal, a murderer. Truth is, he is simply the one caught “holding the bag.”

(CINCINNATI) - The standoff between the United States and Pakistan over the arrest of contractor Raymond Davis is not going to be solved unless both nations take a step into that “no man’s land” of trust and honesty.

There is no question about diplomatic status, this was a clumsy mistake made by State Department officials in Washington who had little or no understanding of the legal and political issues at stake.

Message Of Peace From Pakistan

This is my message for peace and harmony.

(PAKISTAN) - Dear Brothers & Sisters: We all need to pray for one another, and to love one another. We should always pray for the safety, peace, love and brotherhood for people all over the world.

Too bad we can't have an independence day for the entire world. A day of freedom from ignorance, hatred, war, illusions, power and control. A day where we can all love each other as human beings and toss away the weapons of war, and cast out our fears and hatreds from our hearts into the graves.

Julian Assange and Raymond A. Davis America Wants them Both -Who Should be Released?

Christopher King considers the cases of two men the USA wants to extradite, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and CIA spy “Raymond A. David”, on remand in Pakistan for murder. He argues that the murky case of “Davis” underlines the need for whistleblowers like Assange.

Julian Assange has not broken any laws. He has assisted democratic debate by transmitting material showing how the US terrorizes other countries and routinely murders people in course of its illegal wars.

`If Raymond Davis is Released, Pakistan`s Government Will Fall`

The current incident is being compared with the U2 incident in 1960 when Francis Gary Powers, an American pilot was shot down over Russia. Incidentally, Powers flight had originated from Pakistan.

State Dept Should Limit Self to Twitter Communications

The State Dept. might consider conducting its briefings via Twitter, where functionaries have proven more adept at succinctness and clarity:

(ISTANBUL) - Lately I have been concerned about the job security of PJ Crowley, usual emcee of the U.S. State Department daily press briefings.

The bio on his Twitter account reads: As U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, I carry out the Secretary’s mandate to help people understand the importance of U.S. foreign policy.”

The Strange Case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

(LOS ANGELES) - Justice is a delicacy best served cold, preferably in cold-blood, in full service to the Hectoring Hegemons – just ask jurist doctor Rafia Zakaria, General Secretary, Board of Directors Amnesty International USA!

You have a right to ask: if the government is so concerned with “Significant Developments in Terror Threats Since 9/11, Officials Say”, then, why must “they persist in fighting it precisely in the same way to create more of it.”?
