The Destabilization of Pakistan

 By Prof Michel Chossudovsky

Author’s Note

The Biden White House was behind Prime Minister Imran Khan‘s political demise. 

“We know which are the places from where the pressure is being exerted on us. We will not compromise on the interest of the country. I [Khan] am not levelling allegations, I have the letter which is the proof,” 

Under Imran Khan, a major geopolitical shift had occurred, which Washington is intent upon reversing, Pakistan is no longer America’s staunchest ally. 

Washington’s actions in Pakistan go far beyond the narrow objective of “regime change”.  Historically, the thrust of US foreign policy actions consisted in weakening the central government, fracturing the country as well as sabotaging Pakistan’s strategic and economic relations with China and Russia.

The current crisis is a continuation of  Washington’s resolve to retain Pakistan as a neo-colonial entity. It goes back to America’s design to trigger the collapse of Pakistan as a nation state following the assassination of  Benazir Bhutto on December 27, 2007.

US Cyber Spy Scandal: Pompeo Blames Russia, Trump Blames China. Why?

By Andrew Korybko, December 22, 2020

Many people are confused after President Trump contradicted Secretary of State Pompeo’s claim that Russia was behind what’s been described by many as one of the most intrusive cyber espionage operations against America in history after he publicly suggested that China might have been the culprit instead and even downplayed the significance of this extensive security breach.

The Dystopian Western World By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, December 22, 2020 As the second decade of the 21st century comes to an end, democracy and free speech no longer exist in the Western World. In all its respects, Western civilization no longer exists.

Trump Tells Pompeo: Go Wild on Iran, Just Don’t Risk ‘World War III’

By Erin Banco and Asawin Suebsaeng, December 03 2020

President Donald Trump may only have seven weeks left in office, but he’s given his top advisers the green light to batter the Iranian regime—anything that doesn’t hazard a full-on war before Joe Biden is inaugurated.

After this New Wave of Lockdowns, Most People Will Accept Any “Solution” Because They Will be So Desperate By Michael Snyder, December 03 2020 The first wave of lockdowns knocked us into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s, it sent suicide rates soaring all over the globe. Now another wave of lockdowns is being instituted all over the planet, and this is going to perfectly set the stage for the “solutions” that the elite plan to offer all of us in 2021.

By Barbara Nimri Aziz
If you think you’ve seen enough of conflict, especially the war in Syria, you haven’t. From love of nation and loathing of military rule, from inchoate hope of redemption and improbable determination, indebted to lost friends and seeded in the birth of your child, comes an intimate demonstration of how war happens to you and how it tests humanity.

More Evidence on the Srebrenica “Numbers Game”
By George Pumphrey
For nearly a quarter of a century, the massacre of Srebrenica has been reappearing in the headlines of the western media. The usual allegation: 8,000 Muslim men and boys were massacred on July 11, 1995, in “the worst war crime since World War II.” The Hague Tribunal has ruled that these assumed 8,000 executed males constitutes “genocide.” Read more...

Unstable Geopolitics, Pakistan’s Alliance with China: Trump’s Backlash against Pakistan Reveals the Dawn of a Disputed 2018 Year
By Masud Wadan, January 06, 2018
Before Trump’s presidency, each US warning to Pakistan seemed symbolic and intended to pacify the outrage and resentment of global critics for not fighting terrorism seriously. Even in Afghanistan, the people would cheer the US’s crackdown on Pakistan over its hypocrisy to annihilate terrorism within its soil.

Birth of an Insurgency: The US-Israeli “Secret Deal” to Manipulate Protests in Iran
By Whitney Webb, January 06, 2018
Using the recent protests as cover, the governments of the United States and Israel are advancing a much larger plan for covert regime change against the Iranian government, one born out of the “secret deal” negotiated and signed between the two countries right before the widely covered but relatively small protests in Iran began in late December.

Syria’s “White Helmets”: Fiction and Reality

By AhmadSalah, October 14 2016

A young man, wearing a white helmet and a distinctive yellow-and-blue badge on his arm, digs for four hours in the rubble of a destroyed building in Idlib Province in northwest Syria. Finally, he sees what he’s looking for: an infant. He takes her to an ambulance like she is his own child. This is how the Western media portray the volunteers of Syria Civil Defense, also known as the White Helmets. But what does the reality look like? 

Monsanto, the Pentagon’s Soldier and the Colombian “Peace Process”.The Use of Glyphosate Herbicide against the FARC

By Elena Sharoykina, October 14 2016

For decades Colombia has been some kind of battlefield where the USA try to restrain anti-US tendencies in South America. Washington has been fighting the ideas of neo-marxism, guevarism and Liberation theology, which inspire FARC rebels, as well as other left-wing fractions. However, it’s not widely known that in jungles of Colombia there is another war front – the ecological one. 

Kashmir: ‘Pivoting’ Toward War between India and Pakistan?

By Junaid S. Ahmad, October 14 2016

This past summer witnessed yet another people’s uprising in one of the longest running military occupations in modern times: the Indian occupation of Kashmir. The callous indifference to decades-old Indian atrocities against the people of Kashmir, including well-documented incidences of torture, disappearances, ‘encounter killings,’ rapes, and outright massacres, ought to put the international community to shame. This, after all, is a ‘conflict’ – a euphemism for a military occupation – that the UN and international law has clearly adjudicated on many decades ago, but Indian recalcitrance, Pakistani fumbling, and international criminal neglect have let the blood of Kashmiris spill uninterruptedly.

The #Neem Tree: A Modern Day #MedicalMiracle?

By Suresh Nair

Many North Americans have never heard of it, but could an evergreen tree from India offer powerful health benefits… including the ability to fight cancer? The Neem Tree – whose biological name is Azadirachta indica (also known as Indian Lilac) – is an evergreen tree that belongs to the mahogany family. While neem is often used to make furniture, this tree also offers powerful anti-cancer and healing benefits.

Neem grows freely in the tropical and semi-tropical regions of India and the Indian subcontinent,

#USA: They #Think Thay Are #Exceptional... (Hahaha!)

Challenging American Exceptionalism

By Marjorie Cohn

President Barack Obama stood behind the podium and apologized for inadvertently killing two Western hostages – including one American – during a drone strike in Pakistan.  Obama said, “one of the things that sets America apart from many other nations, one of the things that makes us exceptional (Hahaha!), is our willingness to confront squarely our imperfections and to learn from our mistakes.” In his 2015 state of the union address, Obama described America as “exceptional.” When he spoke to the United Nations General Assembly in 2013, he said, “Some may disagree, but I believe that America is exceptional.” (Hahaha!)

American exceptionalism reflects the belief that Americans are somehow better than everyone else. This view reared its head after the 2013 leak of a Department of Justice White Paper that describes circumstances under which the President can order the targeted killing of U.S. citizens. There had been little public concern in this country about drone strikes that killed people in other countries. But when it was revealed that U.S. citizens could be targeted, Americans were outraged. This motivated Senator Rand Paul to launch his 13-hour filibuster of John Brennan’s nomination for CIA director.

It is this double standard that moved Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu to write a letter to the editor of the New York Times, in which he asked, “Do the United States and its people really want to tell those of us who live in the rest of the world that our lives are not of the same value as yours?” (When I saw that letter, I immediately invited Archbishop Tutu to write the foreword to my book, “Drones and Targeted Killing: Legal, Moral, and Geopolitical Issues.” He graciously agreed and he elaborates on that sentiment in the foreword).

Obama insists that the CIA and the U.S. military are very careful to avoid civilian casualties. In May 2013, he declared in a speech at the National Defense University, “before any strike is taken, there must be

THE MALALA HOAX

THE MALALA SHOOTING HOAX

NY Times: Two Champions of Children Are Given Nobel Peace Prize

By DECLAN WALSH

Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani advocate of girls’ education, and Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian who has rescued trafficked children from slavery, shared the prize.

REBUTTAL BY THE ANTI-NEW YORK TIMES

Today's front page is dominated by the co-winner of this year's fake Nobel Peace Prize; the fake "children's rights" activist from Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai. The other winner, Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian man who has saved enslaved children (we are told), gets 2nd billing to Saint Malala.

In 2012, the then 15 year old Malala, (we are told), was shot in the head and neck at point-blank range while returning home on a school bus. The culprits (we are told) were the big bad Muslim Taliban of 9/11 fame, who (we are told) oppose education for girls. 

At a time when the controversy surrounding Obama's drone killings of innocent children was at its peak, the "shooting" of Malala once again reminded Boobus Americanus and Boobus Europithicus as to why the CIA's bombings of Pakistan and Afghanistan are necessary. 

How convenient.

The Malala Hoax took the steam out of the anti-drone movement.

"Drones kill so Malala can live." ...WOW!

After being allegedly shot in the head, Malala was rushed to a military hospital, and then to Britain as soon as her condition "stabilized". 

A simple bandage on a bloodless head wound and fake Malala was back up and running her lying mouth in no time! 

"Thanks for the "rehab"! I'm off to make me some CIA money for my family."

The pinko press and dignitaries such as the UN's Ban Ki Moon, the Hildebeast and Obama (another Nobel Peace Prize winner) all rushed to condemn the horrible attack. And yet, the names of the other two girls allegedly shot on the bus remain unknown. Also unknown to the world are the names of the children in Pakistan, some of whom lived in towns close to Malala, who have been killed by Obama's Predator Drones.

Soon after her "recovery", superstar Malala went on to resume her studies and her CIA agitation against Islam. 

While tour-speaking on behalf of "children's rights" (for a fee!) with her fake speech slur, never once has this wicked little CIA asset made mention of the Pakistani boys and girls being killed by US-CIA drone strikes. 

Instead, Malala, now a best-selling author, even visited with Obama, the very man who authorizes the drone killings!

Mendacious Malala is very selective in her concern for "the children".

Malala was a 'Sandy Hook' scam which took place a few months before the fake shootings of Sandy Hook. Her fake shooting has taken all the attention away from the drone murders of Pakistani and Afghan children. To see Sulzberger's Slimes and the sanctimonious hypocrites of the 'International Community" puff this phony little she-devil up to super-hero status is hard to believe, and even harder to stomach.

The Destabilization of Pakistan

Prof Michel Chossudovsky

Author’s Note

Washington’s intent goes beyond the narrow objective of “regime change”. The thrust of US foreign policy consists in weakening the central government and fracturing the country. 

The ongoing US drone attacks under the banner of the “Global War on Terrorism” are part of that process.

This article first published five years ago in December 2007 focuses on the historical process of collapse of Pakistan as a nation state following the assassination of  Benazir Bhutto.

Washington has been planning a scenario of disintegration and civil war in Pakistan for more than five years.  According to a 2005 report by the US National Intelligence Council and the CIA, Pakistan is slated to become a “failed state” by 2015, “as it would be affected by civil war, complete Talibanisation and struggle for control of its nuclear weapons”. 

Since the outset of the Soviet Afghan war, US intelligence using Pakistan’s ISI as a go-between has supported Al Qaeda and its various affiliated organizations.   

“Talibanisation” is the direct result of US-led covert operations. 

What is not mentioned in the NIC-CIA report is that the destabilization process– including covert support of terrorists groups as well the ongoing drone attacks– is part of a longstanding US led intelligence operation. 

The US course consists in  fomenting social, ethnic and factional divisions and political fragmentation, including the territorial breakup of Pakistan. This course of action is also dictated by US war plans in relation to both Afghanistan and Iran.
