The sinister struggle for control of Pakistan and the Muslim world between two opposing fascist ideologies of Western / Hindu Zionists and Kharjee Takfiris
They said it – lest we forget:
“When the wealthy Jews play, the nations and the rulers dance.”
“The Jews make countries fight each other and when they want, make peace. But whatever happens, they get rich from this.”
Founder of Zionism, Theodore Herzl
“There is only one power which really counts. The power of political pressure. We Jews are the most powerful people on earth, because we have this power, and we know how to apply it.” –
Founder of Zionism, Theodore Herzl
“There is only one power which really counts. The power of political pressure. We Jews are the most powerful people on earth, because we have this power, and we know how to apply it.” –
Vladimir Jabotinsky, Jewish Daily Bulletin, July 27, 1935.
The History:
Almost ninety years ago, in the beginning of the 20th century, Muslim world received a most shattering and devastating blow as maps of the Muslim world were radically re-drawn by the invading and victorious Western powers as spoils of war when the Ottoman Empire was defeated and dismembered. It was during this outrageous and sacrilegious pillage of the Muslim lands that the State of Israel was sanctioned to the world Jewry by the triumphant British Empire. It took another great war few years later with horrendous death and destruction to the humanity, both in the East and the West, to finally materialize the dream of the Zionist Jewry – the State of Israel in the holy lands. A political, military and ideological dagger pierced the Muslim heartland. Pakistan was born almost at the same time as Israel. Both countries, representing two diametrically opposite religious ideologies hostile to each other, were born to be enemies and have remained in a state of covert war ever since. India, a State which is secular on paper only, is led and controlled by idol worshiping Brahmin pagans with extreme hostility towards Pakistan, hence became the natural born collaborator of the Zionist State. The following quote by the founding father of the Jewish State completes this geopolitical and strategic equation in totality.
“The world Zionist movement should not be neglectful of the dangers of Pakistan to
it. And Pakistan now should be its first target, for this ideological State is a threat to our
existence. And Pakistan, the whole of it, hates the Jews and loves the Arabs. “This lover of the Arabs is more dangerous to us than the Arabs themselves. For that matter, it is most essential for the world Zionism that it should now take immediate steps against Pakistan. “Whereas the inhabitants of the Indian peninsula are Hindus whose hearts have been full of hatred towards Muslims, therefore, India is the most important base for us to work there from against Pakistan. “It is essential that we exploit this base and strike and crush Pakistanis, enemies of Jews and
Zionism, by all disguised and secret plans.”
David Ben Gurion, the first Israeli Prime Minister.
His words, as printed in the Jewish Chronicle, August 1967
The Environment:
As the 21st century unfolds, the contemporary times are witnessing yet another epic struggle within the Muslim heartland. Muslim world is desperately fighting in an existential war this time against two violent ideologies which have invaded from opposing prongs. The entire Muslim heartland – from the Arabian Peninsula to the greater Middle East including Pakistan – is the battle ground, and the ultimate prize. Not just that the heart and soul of the Muslim world is at stake, even the geography is once again threatened to be altered radically. In terms of phenomenon and scale, the threat is so severe and unique that it has baffled even the finest Muslim thinkers, philosophers, Generals and analysts who are desperately trying to understand and then cope with the staggering emotional turmoil and the ensuing ground violence within the Muslim lands. The ideological, political and military confusion and chaos is so complete within the Muslim world that the mature reason and sound logic has almost given way to irrational radicalism or defeated resignation to the fate as violence, anarchy and the sheer pace of the events cripple the capacity of the Muslim world to develop even a reactive response let alone a pro-active one. There is no strategic threat analysis, hence no long term response strategy. The Muslim political leadership, despite hanging on to the power, has crumbled in totality to rise to the challenges, hence giving a free run to the invaders, leaving the hapless Muslim population to the wolves.
Once again it seems sharply clear that the colonial and anarchic invading forces – operating on external and internal axis — would further attempt to divide, conquer and dismember the Muslim countries into smaller territories. The 4th Generation war deployed in the greater Middle East today was first applied, experimented and perfected upon pro-Soviet Yugoslavia in the last decade of the 20th century, obliterating the country into history. Now the American wars are being waged right into the Muslim heartland, with genuine threats of re-drawing of greater Middle Eastern Maps as well. After bringing death and destruction to Afghanistan and Iraq, Pakistan is now in the eye of the storm, already staggering under the sheer scale of violence, war, chaos as well as political and economic anarchy.
Still, the threat is manageable, downslide can be checked and rock solid responses can be built but this remarkable turnaround would need genuinely great leadership with vision, courage and spiritual prowess to dream and then achieve the seemingly impossible under these desperate conditions.
The prongs:
Today, the Muslim world finds itself between the two proverbial jaws of an alligator, facing the following invading prongs from the opposing directions:
- The Western Crusaders, US, NATO, Neo-Cons and the Zionists. Using the full might of the western military and industrial power, backed by the massive use of information warfare and Psy-ops weapons, another wave of physical colonization of Muslim lands has begun.
- The Radically anarchic Takfiri Kharjee religious militants. Exploiting the heretical interpretations of religious ideals, these terrorist gangs have been on rampage within the Muslim lands, primarily targeting Iraq and Pakistan with devastating effects. By declaring war from within on the Muslim lands, the Kharjees have become the most valuable assets for the Western crusaders to justify their global war and colonization.
The crisis confronted by the Muslim world today of facing two prongs of attacks from opposing violent ideologies has only one precedent in the entire 1400 years of Muslim history though in terms of phenomenon and scale the threat today has magnified many times over.
Historically, it is not new for the Muslim world to come under attack from the powerful Western civilization or radical Zionists ideologies from the Judeo-Christian world. The Crusades are a vivid and brutal expression of the militant and violent Judeo-Christian anarchists’ ideology invading Muslim heartland for religious, political and economic reasons.
Similarly, radical anarchist thoughts within the Muslim world are also not without precedent. The Kharjiites in the early times during the times of companions of the Prophet declared war on the Muslim political and civil society. The radical and anarchists ideology of Assassins came later during 10th century and wrecked havoc within the Muslim society for almost 200 years during the times of Crusades and after. The great Kurdish Sultan of Syria and Egypt Salahuddin Ayubi had to fight and subdue Assassins within the Muslim society before he could attack and counterattack invading Crusaders from the Western world.
It would be interesting to note for our readers that the English word Assassin has come from the Arabic word Hashashin, meaning the ones who use Hashish or drugs. The Murderous thugs of The Order of the Assassin cult were drugged with Hashish and then sent on dangerous suicide missions within the Muslim world for murders, sabotage and creating terrorism, hence the word Assassins came into the use in Western languages representing the qualities of a hidden terrorist murderer. In mid nineteenth century German historian Von Hammer wrote a rare and invaluable book on the ideology and practices of medieval age assassins titled the History of the Assassins and vividly explain their murderous practices and cult ideology which almost succeeded in over running the entire Muslim heartland even coming close to murdering Sultan Salahuddin at the peak of the Crusades. But even Salahuddin could not finish off the cloak and dagger cult of the Order of the Assassins who were finally and decisively eliminated ruthlessly by the rampaging Mongol armies which had also over run the Capital of Khilifat in Baghdad around 13th century AD.
It is only now after the times of Crusades that the Muslim world is again facing two prongs of opposing violent fascist political ideologies – Crusading Zionists and the Assassin Kharjees. – often fighting with each other as well within the Muslim world proper for control, power, influence and turf. The game is sinister, evil and indeed bloody with violent consequences for the Muslim world. External invasion fueled by religious fanaticism of the Judeo-Christian Zionists and aided by Hindu Zionists and internal sabotage by home grown cult of Kharjees recreate the threats, risks and the environment of the crusades after almost a 1000 years.
Similarly, though all Muslim Ummah disapproves of western invasion of Muslim lands, Kharjees are exploiting the Zionist invasion to wage their war against the Muslim societies and governments by declaring them partners in crime in these Crusades and thus Kharjees also trying to grab the strategic control of Muslim world by exploiting the emotional upheaval and anger within the Muslim societies due to lack of any quality leadership within Muslim countries.
War on Terror (WOT) actually means War of Crusades by Zionists within the Muslim world for its colonization using the radical ideology of Kharjees as a justification for invasion and forcing the Muslim society to accept the Zionist invasion by presenting to them the Kharjee ideology as a bigger threat to the Muslim world. So even if the Kharjee threat is not real in certain lands, creating, fabricating and promoting the phantom bogey through orchestrated media campaigns and psy-ops remains an integral part of the entire Zionist war effort.
While Zionists invade Muslim lands and occupy them, they want Muslim world to fight and finish off the Kharjees first. On the other hand, it is the ultimate desire of the Kharjees to bring about a massive high intensity conflict between the Muslim world and the Crusading Zionists so that a power and leadership vacuum within the Muslim world would allow Kharjees to break out and grab power just as Assassins did in the past during Crusades. Both Zionists and Kharjees want the other to finish off the Muslim world and are using the bogey of the other to justify their presence within the Muslim heartland and society. Both are waging war against the Muslim world and the battle ground is the Muslim urban societies with devastating effects. In reality, they are often willing partners to destroy the status quo within the Muslim world by violent means. The net result for the Muslim world would remains total and complete destruction if any or both of the ideologies succeed.
The commonly known name for the modern day Kharjees in Pakistan is Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan and the so called Al-Qaeda both of which have waged bloody wars within the Muslim world against Muslim States and Muslim societies while also occasionally terrorizing western societies as well. Comprehensive analysis and introduction of this ideology and its patronizing gangs have been discussed in detail in BrassTacks September issue. Baitullah Mehsud, Hakim ullah Mehsud, Mullah Fadlullah, Ayman Zawihiri and Osama Bin Laden as well as Uzbeks militants and Lal Masjid gangs are examples of this anarchic cult in modern times. Another example of Kharjee thought is the group of Utaibi who took over Holy Kaaba in 1979 in an armed rebellion against Saudi monarchy during Hajj which resulted in thousands of deaths in fighting in holiest Masjid of Muslims in Makkah. The similarities between the siege of Makkah in 1979 and siege of Lal Masjid in 2007 in Islamabad are strikingly obvious with similar ideological, militant and political goals of the Kharjees and with similar ends to the two cult rebellions.
The Great Game:
Having understood the ideology of the two invading prongs, this brings us to the grand strategic objectives of Neo-Con foreign policy for 21st century in Middle East, Africa and Asia. This is the larger game of the Neo-Cons for which an “enemy” had to be created and Zionist backed Kharjees played that anarchic role within the Muslim world rather brilliantly.
- Defense and Security of Israel and to create weak headless States in Middle East, even changing geography to create a new Middle East. Stopping Muslim countries from acquiring nuke weapons is integrated part of this objective.
- Containing and destruction of political and militant Islam.
- Control of fuel assets.
- Control of global trading routes, oil pipelines and strategic water ways like Gulf, Suez, Bosporus, horn of Africa, Gibraltar, Malacca straits.
- Encirclement and Containment of Russia.
- Encirclement and Containment of China.
We emphasize that everything, repeat – everything that is happening in ME, Africa and Asia has to do with one or more of these objectives and the clash between US foreign policy and the rest of the regional players who have a stake in preventing US from achieving these objectives. These world wars and global agenda have nothing to do with “war on terror”. The “WOT” is the new great game to gain strategic foothold in the 21st century.
Political heavyweight, Zbigniew Brzezinski, clarified the importance of Central Asia to US plans for global dominance in his book, “The Grand Chessboard”. In it he states:
“Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some 500 years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power”…“For America, the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia—and America’s global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is sustained”….“How America manages Eurasia is critical. Eurasia is the globe’s largest continent and is geopolitically axial. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world’s three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa’s subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world’s central continent. About 75% of the world’s people live in Eurasia and most of the world’s physical wealth as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for 60% of the world’s GNP and about three-fourths of the world’s known energy resources.” (“The Grand Chessboard”)
To achieve the above stated six Grand strategic objectives, Muslim lands need to be further dismembered. US forces need to be based within Muslim lands. Ethnic and sectarian wars ignited to create “new blood borders” on ethnic and religious lines. Muslim nuclear potential needs to be blunted. Defense of Israel is not possible if Pakistan or Iran posses nuclear weapons and Ballistic missiles. If Pakistan does not agree to surrender its nuclear weapons and missile program, then TTP Kharjees to be deployed to create such mayhem and anarchy within Pakistan that Pakistan becomes a failed and dysfunctional state forcing the world community to “step in” to prevent “proliferation” of nuclear weapons into “wrong” hands.
The New Middle East map planned by US, for whom multiple wars would be launched in the region, is similar to what is shown below. US government has recently officially denied any such plans to reshape the Middle East. But the events on ground and US force positioning in the region points towards what the US denies.
Know your enemy — The emergence of Zionist Christian Evangelical Neo-con thought in United States – The Christian Zionists.
The modern easy to understand name for Zionists is Neo-Conservatives Christian Evangelicals and they rule United States of America today with their ideological allies in London, Tel-Aviv and Delhi. The belief of Christian Zionists is that State of Israel must be protected at all costs as that is the place where final war with Anti-Christ, Armageddon, will take place and Christ would return to earth to lead the good Christians. Hence their fanatical loyalty to Jewish Zionists and their ideals of creating a greater Israel in the Middle East at the cost of Muslim world. Crusades of the Middle Ages were religious wars. Crusades of the 21st century are equally fanatical in religious fervor, driven by the same ideals which drove the frenzy of earlier Crusades.
It should be noted that not every Jew is a Zionist just as not every Christian is a Neo-Con. In fact true Jews and good Christians hate Zionism and Israeli policies. There are millions of them as well but they are denied space by the mainstream media which is also controlled by the Zionists. A quick search on Google throws up many such Jewish and Christian groups rejecting Jewish and Christian Zionists.
It would be appropriate here is we give some time and space to understanding the Neo-Con Christian ideology as it is least understood phenomenon in Pakistani planners and strategists. The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) for Public Policy Research founded in 1943 during the post WWII era is located in Washington, D.C. It is an organization dedicated to strengthening national defense, Jewish cultural and political institutions of and related to Israel. The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is fundamentally made up of mostly scholars, corporate executives and politicians with Neoconservative leanings to the right. It is more or less a central “think tank” of Zionism. They over-see and make decisions regarding trade, economics, social welfare, government tax, spending, US policies on foreign affairs and all US defense policies related to Israel and the entire Middle East. AEI is a nonpartisan organization composed of Neoconservative and Compassionate Conservative Zionists. The AEI considers itself to be the American-Jewish political presence in the world. World domination is their goal. The Neoconservative dream world is a Jewish World. Global domination with Israel by its side is the main concern of the US government and all it Neoconservative think thank organizations, such as the AEI.
Christian Zionists, or dispensationalists, give Israel total support because they think there has to be an Israel there, a place — not for Jews, but for the battle of Armageddon, which they actually believe must occur. Its part of the required steps, they believe, that will lead to their Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ. American Christianity — referring to what is variously called American Evangelism, Christian Zionism, or Dominionism, and comprising much of mainstream American Protestantism — isn’t really Christianity at all. By 1947, the Jewish Zionists in US had formed a powerful, $100 million a year, lobbyist organization in Washington that pushed Truman into pushing the U.N. into giving away 55% of the Palestinian people’s land to Zionist Jews.
But in 1947, the United States government was not infiltrated so much with Jewish Zionists or non-Jewish Zionists. The State Department, Senate, House of Representatives, Pentagon, and White House were still Christian and conservative Americans – very unlike today. Today, that infiltration is massive — it almost represents a coup d’etat. The most recent Zionist group to infiltrate the US government is called Neocons (neoconservatives).
In the 1960s Irving Kristol and other East European Zionist Jews founded the Neocon movement in New York. They followed the political, philosophical writings of another German Zionist Jew who taught at the University of Chicago and whose class many of them attended. His name is Leo Strauss (1899-1973). Kristol, the godfather of the Neocons, became the managing editor of Commentary magazine, which according to the Christian Science Monitor, became the “neocon bible.” Later, he founded additional magazines: the Public Interest and the National Interest.
Neocons teach that one of the best ways to maintain political order is to have an external threat. It unifies the people behind the President. If there is no external threat, they say, government should manufacture one. In that vain perpetual war is a good goal. War is also good because it keeps people from their more hedonistic tendencies. Therefore, the U.S. being the world’s only superpower, should aggressively use its military might to promote U.S. values around the world especially in the Middle East which translates for the Zionists into the U.S. protecting and supporting Israel at all costs.
American neo-con-Zionist hall of shame winners
The greater Israel dream of Christian and Jewish Zionists – the ultimate goal of Neocons for which Middle East needs to be reshaped.
Hindu Zionists – Hitching the ride with Western Zionists:
Hindu Zionists too are no different from their Judeo-Christian counterparts in antipathy towards Islamic world but suffer from an intrinsic inferiority complex against Muslims due to the fact that Muslims had ruled India for a thousand years till 1857 and then India fell into the hand of the British for another 90 years. Hindu zealots are burning with anger to revenge their 1000 years of shame and subjugation at the hands of Muslims but lack the courage and ferocity to do the job themselves especially against Pakistan, their arch enemy. They need Western Zionists to do the job for them. It is the ultimate dream of their foreign policy and diplomacy to get the western countries to attack and destroy Pakistan. One can still remember the eagerness and impatience of the Indian government to offer bases to the US forces after 9/11 to attack and destroy Pakistan! Just like Israelis, Indians also plan to fight Pakistan to the last American!!
About Hindu Zionists and their objectives, Vijay Prashad writes on August 8th, 2001, in a fascinating and thought provoking article titled Hindutva and Zionism:
“The fantasy entertained by the Hindu Right government is that an alliance with the world’s lions (USA-Israel) will allow India to sup at High Table, to eat high on the hog. Certainly the expectation is that trade will follow the military tie-up.
For that reason, we see a wholesale sell-out by the Hindu Right to US-Israeli foreign/military policy objectives. The Hindu Right recognize the persistence of US imperialism, and Israeli sub-imperialism — and they want a piece of the action in South Asia. It appears that the Hindu Right seeks the franchise for US lackey against what it sees as Islamic fundamentalism and Chinese Communism.
But the alliance with Israel is not so strange after all, because at the ideological level, Hindutva is much like Zionism, for both extol the importance of the Race-State, and both cast aspersions at the presence of a Muslim minority. An India-born analyst at the Zionist Freeman Center in Houston, Texas, makes just this connection: “Islamic fascists see Bharat [India] as the soft spot to propagate their irrational creed and foment violence. India tries to placate them. Israel expels them. This is what Bharat should do. If they hate Hindu Rashtra so much they are free to leave for dar-ul Islam.”
At the unofficial level, the links seem to be growing. Among semi-fascists the links are deep. The restless lions of west and south Asia join the tigers of East Asia to encircle China and the predominantly Muslim states of west and central Asia. The big cats are at Genoa, but they significantly meet in military headquarters and in the secure offices of arms merchants around the world, eager to undermine the political process with the sorts of hardware that ensures that our world remain undemocratic. Empire is alive and well”
The Dirty Wars:
Post 9/11 American wars to redraw the Middle East are based on what Robert Greene, in his book “The 33 strategies of War”, described as unconventional or dirty war. Greene explained this war further;
“A general fighting a war must constantly search for an advantage over the opponent. The greatest advantage comes from the element of surprise, from hitting enemies with strategies that are novel, outside their experience, completely unconventional. It is in the nature of war; however, that over time any strategy with any possible application will be tried and tested, so that the search for the new and unconventional has an innate tendency to become more and more extreme. At the same time, moral and ethical codes that governed warfare for centuries have gradually loosened. These two effects dovetail into what we today call “dirty war”, where anything goes down to the killing of thousands of unwarned civilians. Dirty war is political, deceptive and supremely manipulative. Often the last recourse of the weak and desperate, it uses any means available to level the playing field.
The dynamic of the dirty has filtered into society and the culture at large. Weather in politics, business or society, the way to defeat your enemy is to surprise them, to come at them from an unexpected angle. And the increasing pressures of these daily wars make dirty strategies inevitable. People go underground: they seem nice and decent but use slippery devious methods behind the scenes.”
So basically now, following is the brief summary of the ridiculous situation in which Pakistan finds itself today due to these US “dirty wars”. It is a master piece of Pakistan’s foreign and national security policy blunders, failures and confusion fully exploited by the Zionists and Kharjee Fascists.
- US is threatening to invade Pakistani tribal areas and regularly attack targets of its choice using Drones and other means. Relations between US and Pakistan are tense, nervous and based on mistrust and betrayal. US supplies pass through Pakistan making US vulnerable to developments in Pakistan. War in Afghanistan is not going as US had wanted creating a military and political crisis for United States and NATO, making US even more nervous and jittery towards Pakistan. US now want Pakistan to fight Afghan Taliban and other resistance groups on behalf of the Americans and is using all forms of carrots and sticks to push Pakistan into another war in North Waziristan.
- Pakistan is still not sure on its role in Afghanistan and remains clueless without an Afghan policy nor has defined rules of engagement with the US. Even after nearly 10 years of Afghan war, Pakistan has no vision to protect its interests and assets in Afghanistan nor have defined and declared national security goals. Despite the anarchic chaos and the conflict within Pakistan due to US presence in Afghanistan, the government and the military is still not sure what is good for Pakistan – American presence in Afghanistan or their withdrawal from it!!
- Kabul government remains hostile to Islamabad supporting multiple insurgencies, supporting the Indians to establish bases all along the western borders, staging terror campaigns inside Pakistan and protecting wanted terrorists. Pakistan has not made any significant breakthrough in the Northern alliance nor taken any independent initiative to play aggressive role as peace maker in Afghanistan. The hesitation and lack of confidence to get involved is breathtaking in Islamabad.
- TTP Kharjees, Al-Qaeda and their allied militant gangs have maintained their open war against the State of Pakistan. Their supplies remain open from Afghanistan making it impossible to eliminate this threat decisively despite major gains made by the army against these terrorists. The entire judicial system of the country has collapsed to respond to the threat. Security forces are fighting a reactive war where the advantage remains with the terrorists to hit at urban soft targets of their choice with surprise and impunity.
- Afghan Taliban are still not considered as assets for Pakistan nor offering any direct support to crush the Kharjee insurgency against Pakistan. They have not declared any war against Pakistan though but are extremely unhappy with the way Pakistan has handled the entire crisis.
- Indian Zionists continues to work on the plan to get Pakistan beaten up by the Americans. They have been on this agenda since 9/11 when they had offered bases to the US to attack Pakistan! It is Indian desire that a situation is created in which an open confrontation is developed between Pakistan and US where US would be doing the dirty job of destroying Pakistan to the utter pleasure and advantage of India. US and India have now successfully forged an open and aggressive alliance against “Islamic” threat from Pakistan. Meanwhile Indians are busy trying to crush the Kashmiri uprising and resistance in the valley taking advantage of the favorable environment in the region against Islamic militancy and Pakistan.
- The government in Islamabad remains incapacitated, corrupt and dysfunctional almost turning Pakistan into a banana republic if army and the Supreme Court were not there to salvage some dignity. The economic and governance collapse is almost total with real possibilities of a street level anarchic chaos unless the regime is changed urgently. This is what both the Zionists and Kharjees had planned to bring about from the very beginning and is being facilitated by the corrupt regime.
- National media remains equally confused and directionless, even hostage to the Kharjee terrorists and the Neo-Cons. US information warfare has penetrated deep into Pakistani media controlling the direction, content and the perception management of the Pakistani nation. Despite massive devastation and TTP driven war against the State, media remains dreadfully silent to nail and name the perpetrators. The “free” media has willfully surrendered its “freedom” to the dreaded terrorists.
- Despite having closest and common national security interests, Pakistan has still not used the power and clout of China to exert itself in the region and in Afghanistan to create a favorable space for both countries.
- Iran remains isolated from Pakistan despite some cooperation at security and economic issues. Both countries have not yet discussed Afghanistan and American presence seriously nor have forged any common strategy to secure Afghanistan after the US withdrawal or to force a US withdrawal.
- Pakistan has still not build any relations with Russia which has great interest in countering US aggressive postures in Eurasian region and is looking for allies in South and West Asia.
The Challenge and the Response:
The biggest failure of Pakistani leadership so far is that they have failed to see the threats emerging from the Neo-Con ideology!! The Neo-cons are as sinister and existential threat as the Kharjee terrorists but in Islamabad, Neo-Cons are taken as friends and masters. While Kharjee terrorist threat is considered as the biggest national security risk, the Neo-Con colonial and hostile agenda against Pakistan and in the region is dismissed as just a conspiracy theory! This sheer lack of political, historic and philosophical vision, touching the limits of stupidity and insanity by the political leadership has brought Pakistan to this unprecedented crisis stage.
Pakistan’s has still not decided if the US presence in Afghanistan is part of the problem or is it the part of the solution to Pakistan’s national security challenges. It cannot get more ironic than this.
It is the US presence in Afghanistan which is causing all the chaos and anarchy in the region. Indians, Kharjees and the terrorism breed under the US umbrella. When Afghan Taliban were in Afghanistan between 1996 to 2001, not a single incident of bombings, terrorism and insurgency was reported in Pakistan. Indians had been eliminated from Afghanistan and drugs were not flowing into Pakistan. There was no insurgency in Baluchistan. Pakistan had not lost a single soldier or civilian to political terrorism during that period. TTP never existed. Even if the so called Al-Qaeda existed in Afghanistan, they were kept in strong check by the Afghan Taliban, never causing any security hazard to Pakistan.
Even today, a strong mind exists in Pakistani government and policy makers which strongly feel that US must stay in Afghanistan to bring “stability”! They feel that NATO supplies must pass through Pakistan so that Pakistan may maintain leverage over US in Afghanistan. It is believed by them that if Pakistan demands US withdrawal from Afghanistan, it would make US openly hostile towards the Islamic republic and it would impose sanctions on Islamabad and the country would collapse under the economic meltdown! They believe and propagate that Afghans are not capable to manage their own affairs hence a foreign Western force is required to eliminate “terrorism” from the region. The Neo-Con perception management and disinformation teams have done a fantastic job at spreading despondency and strategic confusion within Pakistani leadership.
Major segments of the Pakistan government are open collaborators with the Neo-Cons. They are not expected to protect or understand Pakistan’s security needs. But even a segment of the patriots, for lack of understanding of the Neo-Con threat and their great game against Pakistan, believe that US should continue to stay in Afghanistan and give above reasons as excuse. This great confusion within the political and military leadership is the precise reason why there is still no Afghan policy or vision in Pakistan despite suffering so much for the last 10 years.
Let us make it clear firmly and decisively. If Pakistan wants to come out of the crisis, there is no option but to be ruthless.
- There can be no peace in Pakistan if US remains in Afghanistan. It is the US presence which has brought Pakistan to this brink. Sooner we throw the Americans out, the better. The leverage which Pakistan has over US for economic and military aid due to their supply lines passing through Pakistan is nothing compared to the damages, losses and chaos which is created in the country due to the US presence.
- US is broke economically and militarily. The two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have broken the back of the Neo-Con war machine. There is no way US can threaten Pakistan militarily. This major US vulnerability should be powerfully used in strategic negotiations to demand a US withdrawal and to eliminate Indian influence from Afghanistan.
- Pakistan must now decisively demand a US withdrawal from the region.
- A regional political and diplomatic power bloc between Pakistan, China, Iran and Russia can be created which should further bolster Pakistan’s posture in demanding a US withdrawal. All countries are anti-US and want exit of the western forces from Afghanistan.
- Pakistan must aggressively and openly engage with all factions of the Afghan conflict and exert its due role in bringing the warring Afghan factions closer for peace. Most of the Northern alliance factions are former Afghan Mujahideen parties of the Afghan Jihad era and can easily be brought back into our fold. So far, no serious attempt has been made to bring them back.
- Pakistan should pr-actively and preemptively hit at TTP and Kharjee bases in Afghanistan and exert pressure on US, NATO and Afghan regime to “do more” to check and control the logistics and supplies of the terrorist networks. The war against Kharjees will have to enter Afghanistan by all covert and overt means.
- Zero tolerance and no mercy policy towards Kharjee terrorist with special military courts to put to trial and eliminate the captured militants. Since the civilian courts have totally collapsed to respond to the threat, the clauses in the military law to be invoked which allow for a military court martial for the captured “civilian” terrorists and insurgents.
- Neo-Cons influence into Pakistani media and policy making to be eliminated to be replaced with indigenous homegrown national security and media policy to revive the national ideology and patriotism.
The crisis is staggering. The challenge remains phenomenal. The stakes are of life and death for this nation. If it was not for the army, the country would have already disintegrated under the two prong Kharjee and Zionists threat axis. Pakistan has never faced such monumental existential threats of such staggering intensity in such short duration of time. What is cruelly ironic is that this crisis is self created by the leadership in the past 10 years and have emerged due to deliberate blunders of policy, diplomacy, politics, strategy and perception management. The solution lies in undoing the damages done on the above mentioned points.
The crisis is still totally manageable in shortest possible time. The problem is sharply defined, solutions clear. Assets are available, resources are in hand, military strength available to enforce political decisions and the global and regional geo-politics rapidly turning into Pakistan’s favor, military gaining ground against internal threats and beginning to hard bargain with the foreign forces but still we see complete lack of coherence in the national policies. The ship remains rudderless and in seriously turbulent waters. The crisis of leadership is phenomenal undoing all the sacrifices and the advantages gained on ground. If saving Pakistan means bringing a regime change in Islamabad first, then so be it!
