Pakistan is under attack once  again from the unified force of Deadly Zionism and  Killer Hindutva. (Graphic by Skulz Fontaine)

by Jonathan AzaziahHow much more blood must be shed in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan before it is understood that the country is being torn to shreds from the inside out in a foreign-sponsored 4th Generation Warfare (4GW) campaign? How many more men, women and children must have their lives snuffed out before a little, not a goliath amount, but a little bit of attention is given to this horrific and blood-soaked crisis that deepens every day? The geopolitical implications will surely be drastically and negatively groundbreaking if Pakistan plunges into the unadulterated chaos that its enemies, “Israel,” Hindutvadi India and the Zionist-occupied United States government, so passionately and stridently desire. Pakistan, the “child of Jinnah, child of ‘Allama Iqbal”, indeed stands on the brink.Hideous sectarian killings across the country since the start of April have revealed the deepening of a plot engineered by the forces of Zionism and Hindutva, its ugly first cousin. Whilst the Zionist media coverage has typically and predictably attempted to depict the bloodshed as “Sunni-Shi’a” strife, it is quite revealing that its coverage has been scarce, with the weight of reportage being carried by Pakistani and Iranian outlets. Additionally, the evidence will show that this sectarianism, drenched in innocent blood, is a product of the Zionist-Hindutvadi nexus, with the sect of oppressed being butchered by the sect of the supremacist oppressor.

It began on April 9th, 2012 in Pakistan’s turbulent Balochistan province, in which masked gunmen on motorbikes carried out a monstrous shooting spree, leaving 14 dead, including 2 women, and dozens of others wounded. The worst of the attacks was in the Hazara region at the busy Prince Road of Balochistan’s largest city and provincial capital, Quetta, where four 4 Shi’a Muslims were shot dead (1), and then, according to later reports in the Urdu and Farsi presses, brutally mutilated, thus betraying the entire bout of killing as a specific targeted operation. As the casualties count rose to 6 dead and 3 critically wounded the following day, this notion was further confirmed when Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani fired six police officers for complicity in the Quetta bloodshed (2), revealing that the gunmen had “men on the inside” to protect their operation from scrutiny.

The Pakistani province of Balochistan is a hotbed of Zionist-Hindutvadi intrigue.

In response to the martyrdom of 6 members from their community, leaders of the Hazara Democratic Party, which represents the interests of the downtrodden Shi’a of Balochistan, adamantly and eloquently blasted the cowards that perpetrated the crimes. They then called for a 10 day strike, from April 20th to April 30th, demanding justice for their fallen. Hundreds across Balochistan honored the call by protesting and shutting down shops, markets and educational institutions (3). Following the call of the Hazara Shi’a, more than 2,500 Pakistanis, Sunni and Shi’a alike, in a beautiful and righteously ferocious display of solidarity, hit the streets of Islamabad right outside the Pakistani Parliament building and chanted for the government to take action against the persons responsible for the violence. Similar demonstrations were held in Quetta, Muzaffarabad and Multan, where protesters supplicated for the Quetta victims as well as the more than 2,000 Shi’a murdered in the Kurram region of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) since 2007 (4). The ostensible drift from blood-spilling to reconciliation and justice came to a screeching halt on April 14th, 2012 as Balochistan was rocked by tragedy yet again. In the same fashion as the previous killings, masked gunmen laid siege to the Barori Road, Sabzol Road and Qali Chaltan Road areas of Quetta, firing shots at dozens of Shi’a Muslims, wounding at least six and murdering at least 10 (5). This death toll would rise to more than 30, including women and children, and on April 16th, another Shi’a was gunned down by masked men in Quetta, prompting Chief Minister Raisani to thunderously call for assistance from the Pakistani Army and declare that if something wasn’t done to stop the atrocities soon, Balochistan would descend into civil war (6). The obvious purpose of the cowardly masked men’s assault was to foment division but this has failed as Sunni-Shi’a unity protests raged forward, with women and children participating, and not just in Pakistan, but all over the globe, including America, the UK and Canada (7).On April 18th, 2012, Imran Zaidi, the vice principal of Jinnah Polytechnic College and a Shi’a Muslim himself, was shot dead by masked men on motorbike in the important Pakistani port city of Karachi (8), once again betraying the signature of an intelligence agency’s “targeted” operation. The massacring of Shi’a continued three days later, with another attack in Quetta by masked gunmen on motorbike, shooting two more innocents dead (9). Immediately following the latest round of killing in Quetta, protests across Pakistan erupted yet again with Shi’a marching through the streets of Lahore and joint Sunni-Shi’a rallies being staged in Abbottabad, Quetta, Rawalpindi and other cities (10). A sigh of relief swept through the nation when Pakistani security forces stormed the outskirts of Quetta in a search and seizure operation, uncovering the safehouse where the carnage has been launched from. Three terrorists were detained, all of whom were connected to none other than the Tehrik-I-Taliban of Pakistan {TTP} (11), the infamous and brutal proxy force of Pakistan’s enemies. Two more fighters connected to the Shi’a killings,Ali Sher Haidri, spokesperson of the TTP-allied Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeT), and his well-known terrorist accomplice, Gul Jan aka Hafiz Naseer, were killed in another operation (12). 

The Hindu supremacist regime’s RAW and the Zionist entity’s Mossad are tearing Pakistan apart through their monstrous creation, the TTP.

Created in 2004 to coincide with the inauguration of the CIA’s genocidal drone program, the TTP is the perfected product of an ongoing, incestuous relationship between the Zionist entity’s Mossad, Hindutvadi India’s RAW and the CIA itself. One month after Mossad’s false flag attack on September 11th, 2001 and just three days after the criminal invasion of Afghanistan, two “Israeli” agents with Mossad and IOF connections were apprehended inside the Mexican Congress building of Mexico City with 9mm handguns, nine grenades, C-4 explosives, three detonators, 58 bullets and fake Pakistani passports. Their mission was to destroy the Mexican Congress. This false flag operation was intended to be phase II of 9/11, triggering a NATO invasion of Pakistan. When the mission failed, the Zionist entity activated its contingency plan: the Dragon Policy, an updated version of the Oded-Yinon-strategy of balkanizing Islamic states on ethno-sectarian lines (13).Following the failure in Mexico City, the upper echelons of Zionist and Hindutvadi intelligence erected four new clandestine agencies solely dedicated to the destruction of Pakistan, which would immediately be followed by the originally-intended aggression to denuclearize the bulwark of Islamic Resistance to international Zionism. The highest ranking figures of Pakistan’s financial, political, military and religious sectors were on the hitlist and every successful attack was meant to soften up Pakistan for the imminent invasion. Using funds from the unlimited bank accounts of Mossad and Aman, the Zionism-Hindutva intelligence nexus established 57 training camps across the northern frontiers of India and occupied Kashmir, kidnaping and blackmailing Resistance fighters to fight against their own comrades while simultaneously forging alliances with mafia bosses and narcotics tycoons and training them in the finer arts of black ops. These various elements served as the perfect puppets as any rebellion whatsoever would be punished with imprisonment in the harshest of dungeons. These men would be deployed into the field under Mossad-RAW guidance and once an attack was completed, the Zionist media would report it as an ‘act of Islamic terrorism.’ If a ‘checkout’ was not secured, senior operatives of the “Israeli”-Indian nexus would finish the job (13).

The CIA has been a vital  assistant to Mossad and RAW in implementing the Dragon Policy in Pakistan.

The CIA and its corporate offshoot, Blackwater (also known as Xe and Academi), a festering bubble of anti-Arab, anti-Muslim hatred and deep pro-“Israel” sentiments, joined the Dragon Policy in 2004. Blackwater agents became integrated with the ordnance units of Mossad and RAW. The CIA took a more proactive role by absorbing past recruits of the Zionist-Hindutvadi intelligence training camps and cultivated them into a powerful proxy force that specialized in guerilla tactics and sectarian warfare: the Tehrik-I-Taliban. The name was chosen for a very sinister, deceptive and specific reason: to despicably smear the real Taliban in occupied Afghanistan, a Resistance force fighting a ‘7arb el 7uriyeh(war of liberation)’ against NATO invaders. It is classic psychological warfare. The Taliban, not surprisingly, has rightfully maintained its innocence and condemned Blackwater for being behind bombings and other provocations in Pakistan. Since its birth, the Tehrik-I-Taliban has murdered or wounded more than 100,000 Pakistanis and caused more than $50 billion in damage to Pakistan’s economy. Prior to the most recent operation, the Pakistani army had already arrested hundreds of TTP militiamen. Proxy agents detained in Waziristan, Karachi and Balochistan were caught with sophisticated, military-grade weaponry manufactured by the Zionist entity (13).This string of horrible bloodshed that claimed the lives of dozens of Shi’a Muslim men, women and children, along with several other Sunni Muslims who stood in solidarity with them, is reminiscent of a very similar Mosssad-RAW-backed TTP campaign that targeted prominent Shi’a and Sunni figures back at the start of 2012. Tearing Pakistan apart through the “sectarianism” of the Zionist-Hindutvadi Dragon Policy, leaving it open to denuclearization and balkanization and eventually fomenting the ethnic cleansing of all Muslims from occupied Kashmir is indeed the “endgame” plot (13). The innocent Pakistani blood spilled throughout April means nothing to the supremacist oppressors or their quislings, and this is why the great Pakistani luminary Syed Zaid Zaman Hamid declared recently in one of his highly-regarded email bulletins that, “Pakistan’s entire political leadership is now compromised to the enemies. These ones want to compromise our honor, faith, history, land and water,” in fact, he continues, “the idiots we have today have already auctioned it.” And if the Pakistani Armed Forces didn’t perform the way that they did in Quetta, ending the catastrophe (at least for now), it is safe to say that the enemies would be further along in their plot.

Occupied Kashmir, one of the most beautiful places on the face of this planet, has been transformed into a training ground for anti-Pakistan warfare by Zionism and Hindutva.

Occupied Kashmir: The “Israeli”-Indian “Training Ground” For Anti-Pakistan WarfareIt is a well-established and internationally-accepted fact that the Zionist entity’s military and arms industries are imposing behemoths and completely unrivaled on the international stage. What is lesser-known, or rather, ruthlessly suppressed by the Zionist media as a means of keeping it far from the global public’s vision, is that“Israel” uses the occupied West Bank (and by extension, occupied al-Quds) as a laboratory for the research and design of its newest weapons. Zionist occupation forces use the hundreds of Palestinian villages in the West Bank as ‘live’ training grounds (14). Though this certainly qualifies as “sick,” as well as “twisted,” as Zionism always does, it gets even more depraved.On March 27th, 2012, the undercover unit “Israeli” military intelligence known as Duvdevan, which is responsible for the murder of beloved Palestinian-Jewish activist and director Juliano Mer-Khamis (15), as well as a laundry list of extrajudicial executions dating back to the FirstIntifada, savagely murdered 28-year old Palestinian Rashad Shawakha and badly wounded two of his brothers during a ‘live’ training exercise in the occupied West Bank Village of Rammoun (16). For the very first time, as revealed herein by Mask of Zion’s ever-vigilant and exceptionally reliable Kashmiri sources, it is now known that these slaughterous and utterly insidious “live training” and “weapons testing” methods have been exported to occupied Kashmir, the land known as “heaven on Earth” illegally occupied by Hindutvadi India for 65 years and already infested with Zionist-Hindutvadi training facilities for the Dragon Policy.

Zionism and Hindutva are intertwined at every level, thus revealing  a relationship of  supreme geopolitical closeness.

For the historical record, it is integral to note“Israel” is not only the top defense supplier for India (17), but the usurping Jewish entity and the Hindu supremacist regime are deeply intertwined at every level, from military to intelligence, economics to politics, communications to ideology, and this cooperation not only amounts to a frightening hegemonic agenda, but tens of billions of dollars in profit generation (13). The two occupation entities even collaborate in ventures to provide cell phone gaming services for their brainwashed populations (18);the Zionism-Hindutva relationship is one of the utmost geopolitical intimacy.Ironically and ominously, although perhaps not unintentionally, one year ago to the day before the barbaric massacres of Shi’a Muslims began in Balochistan, a terrible tragedy occurred in occupied Kashmir that shocked and saddened the people of the Vale. Maulana Showkat Ahmad Shah, a pseudo-controversial but much-loved cleric who served as the President of Jamiat-e-Ahl-e-Hadith, was murdered in a brutal bombing during Friday prayers at a mosque in the Kashmiri capital of Srinagar. So abominable was the attack that it prompted a harsh condemnation from every major Azadi(Kashmiri word for freedom) organization throughout occupied Kashmir, as well as the government of Pakistan (19). Survived by his wife, son, daughter and mother, well-known across the Vale for his honesty and dedicated to the cause of Azadi by all accounts, Shah had been arrested and imprisoned under the Hindutvadi occupation’s draconian Public Safety Act (PSA) many times before, and on at least two other occasions, there were attempts on his life. Dating back to 1990, a phenomenon known in occupied Kashmir as the “unidentified killings” has claimed the lives of dozens of doctors, academics, clerics, philanthropists, Resistance fighters and human rights activists, including Muslims, Pandits and secularists. All evidence indicates that RAW’s “Special Operations Group” is behind the murders (20). The most recent target, prominent religious scholar Peer Jalaludin, barely escaped with his life after being critically injured in a shooting. Azadi leaders pegged Hindutva as the culprit behind the barbarous attack, stating that it was trying to divide the Kashmiri struggle through sectarianism (21).

The intelligence agencies of the usurping Jewish entity and the Hindutvadi occupation regime are tormenting the Kashmiri people.

Mask of Zion contacted several Resistance fighters and Azadiactivists to learn more about these disturbing developments and what was uncovered during these inquiries turned out to be nothing short of shocking and enlightening, as well as exceedingly revealing. One 46-year old veteran fighter, who, for security reasons asked to be identified by the alias “Rehman Zahid”, an eloquent man with vast experience in the Azadi struggle as he fought the Hindutvadi occupation head-on during the epic Kashmiri intifada of 1989, explained to Mask of Zion the nature of what he referred to as “SOG,” the RAW Special Operations Group, “The SOG is active all over Asia. It is in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, Nepal and Indonesia, Malaysia and as far north as Japan. It is responsible for assassinations and surveillance and anything else the accursed Hindutvadis ask for, may ALLAH (SWT) curse them to the hellfire. Curse them! But here, here in Kashmir, my beloved that they have been raping since before Palestine was raped by the Zionists, my land of treasures and rushing rivers, the SOG is subordinate to an ‘Israeli’ named Katzir. You know him, yes?”“Yes, of course,” I stated anxiously. Brother Rehman continued, “The ‘Israeli’ is governing dozens of SOG agents with full approval from the Hindutvadis in Delhi. He’s integrated them into the units made up from the elites of his counter-terrorism team and calls these units the ‘Yehoshua Brigades’, named after Joshua from the Jewish Bible who was a destroyer and murderer of children, a rapist of land and thief of Canaan.” Understandably, brother Rehman paused to take a deep breath. I saw this as an opportunity to interject, “These Yehoshua Brigades aren’t regular military units then, and the operations of the SOG aren’t normal operations, are they?”

General Sundararajan  Padmanabhan, the Hindutvadi  fundamentalist behind the Cold Start Doctrine, is so hated by  the Kashmiri Resistance that he  is simply referred to as “the monster.”

The Kashmiri Resistance veteran paused for yet another moment and solemnly said, “No, not at all. He named them ‘Yehoshua’ because these units are those which will carry out Operation Kurukshetra, a creation of Katzir and the monster, {a reference to former Indian Chief of Staff, General Sundararajan Padmanabhan, the Hindutvadi fundamentalist architect of the Cold Start Doctrine known throughout the Vale for his sadistic brutality during the 1989intifada and the immediate years after it (13)} to cleanse us from the land like Joshua and his band of murderous yahoud cleansed Canaan thousands of years ago and cleansed it again in 1948. Every assassination that they’ve done in the last decade was designed to provoke us into attacking them so they can make Kurukshetra a reality. Curse them, ya ALLAH (SWT)! Curse them!”“Would we be providing a most accurate description,” I asked, “if we designated the Yehoshua Brigades, in all honesty, as an exclusivist Jewish-Hindu death squad motivated by the Zionist-Hindutvadi leadership’s desire to attain ethno-religious and regional supremacy?” Without hesitation, Rehman Zahid, a man who had stared into the eyes of the cruel and torturous Indian soldiers who waged an unrelenting campaign of brutality under General Sundararajan Padmanabhan during the 1989 Kashmiri intifada, stated, “Absolutely. Absolutely accurate. Supremacist is what they are. Exclusivist! Separatist is what they are! They call us separatists but they are the separatists! They want to separate from all other humans, with yahoud being with yahoud and Hindutvadi being with Hindutvadi while we suffer under them. They think of us as dogs. Enemies of Islam! Enemies of humanity! Enemies of the Kashmiri, the Palestinian, the Lebanese! Enemies of Pak Sarzameen and the dunya and even the Akhira! Curse them! May ALLAH (SWT) give us strength to fight them and free ourselves from them!”Brother Rehman had become thoroughly flustered and quite upset and therefore, out of respect for and empathy with him, I had no interest in prolonging the discussion for any serious length of time; I only had one more question, “Akhi Rehman, this information is indeed critical and it most certainly explains a great deal, but what about the assassination of Maulana Showkat Ahmad Shah? Was the attack on his person a hyper-specific one?” Obligingly, Rehman replied, “Not necessarily, but, Shahid Maulana was their highest-level target yet methinks. Every killing that Yehoshua does is based on its objective of driving us into civil conflict and hurting our struggle. There is another goal for them though. The explosive used to martyr Maulana, a sticky bomb, was a modified, military-grade version of what was used in the July 11th Bombings and the Malegaon Blasts {which were false flag attacks carried out by the Zionist entity’s Mossad and Hindu supremacist elements close to RAW to set the stage for their ‘masterpiece’ false flag on 26/11, an event that ‘changed the game’ in the region (22)}.Yehoshua and Katzir’s regular units and even the Hindutvadi occupiers themselves are always testing new weapons for ‘Israel,’ may ALLAH (SWT) curse them to the hellfire. We’re like their playthings.”

The Jewish-Hindu death squad known  as the Yehoshua Brigades is spilling rivers of Kashmiri blood, all for the sake of eventually taking down Pakistan.

He continued, “We are armed with minimal weaponry here, anyone can see this, even the blind ones. What do they need heavy automatics, laser snipers, drones, pistols with silencers and upgraded military explosives for? Are they that afraid of our youths who pelt stones? Do our stonepelters make the Hindutvadi and the Zionist shake? Maybe we do, by ALLAH (SWT) maybe we do, but this isn’t the reason. They’re testing their weapons here because these are the weapons that they use on Pakistan to make chaos there. Kurukshetra is the final part of the Hindutvadi Cold Start Doctrine. BeforeYehoshua Brigades are released to make the Kashmiri Nakba, India and the NATO will have turned Pakistan into Iraq or Libya with Cold Start, may ALLAH (SWT) damn them for what they did to those countries and the orphans. Yehoshua Brigades try and kill Peer Jalaludin, may ALLAH (SWT) protect him, right outside of his home with new never-before-seen heavy automatics and not even a week after this, not even a week by ALLAH (SWT)! These weapons are in the hands of TTP terrorists who spill blood in Pakistan. This is the pattern. Like I said, we are their playthings. Pak Sarzameen is the grand prize in all of this. We are the small fish.”I thanked brother Rehman for his time and Muhammad Isma’il Bhat, the friend of mine who put me in contact with the Kashmiri veteran, told me in the clearest language possible that everything he said was on the money. I relayed this information to human rights activists “Zubair Zubair” in Srinagar and “Abu Ghulam” in Kupwara, who had contributed to a previous earth-shattering Mask of Zion report on Pakistan and occupied Kashmir, and both of them reaffirmed it unequivocally. It was official. Occupied Kashmir, “heaven on earth,” was being used by the Zionist entity and Hindutvadi India as a “live testing ground” for Dragon Policy directives that will later be carried out in Pakistan, with every killing aimed at disuniting the anti-occupation movement and delivering it into the jaws of destruction. The Kashmiri people were at the mercy of a Jewish-Hindu death squad known as the YehoshuaBrigades, with every moment of their day passing by as if it were their last.Once again, this shows that the fates of the Pakistani and Kashmiri people are interlocked and Azadi for one from the machinations of Zionism and Hindutva means Azadi for the other. And with Kashmiris preparing to launch another intifada, like they always do, seemingly every two years (23), there is no doubt that this theme will permeate protests and marches. There is no doubt that they will demonstrate for dignity and with vigor. There is no doubt that the oppressed people of the Vale will not relent until their Zionist and Hindutvadi tormentors are brought to justice and it is known that Kashmiris are the “playthings” of nobody.

According to the disturbed minds of Zionists and Hindutvadis, Pakistan must be destroyed for Greater “Israel” and Hindutva to flourish. (Graphic by Skulz Fontaine)

Conclusion: A Modern Day Agartala Conspiracy – The Separation of Balochistan and Operation Blue Tulsi ExposedAforementioned Pakistani luminary Syed Zaid Zaman Hamid has repeatedly likened what the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is fighting today to the “Agartala Conspiracy” of 1971, in which RAW, CIA and elements of the Soviet KGB created, trained, armed and funded the Mukti Bahini terror squads that broke down the Pakistani Armed Forces through guerilla warfare, setting the stage for the breakaway of East Pakistan, known today as the nation-state of Bangladesh. There was no “popular Bengali uprising” as it often parroted by Zionist media and academia, there was a plot of subversion directed by the enemies of Pakistan with Hindutva at the head (24). This is further confirmed by the Syed in which he points out that the Pakistani Army was 10,000 miles away from base, fighting 4GW in the streets while India invaded from three sides with 500,000 soldiers and 250,000 more Mukti Bahini terrorists. The “soldiers of Jinnah, soldiers of ‘Allama Iqbal” were overwhelmed, and the dismemberment of Pakistan was completed (25). It is highly critical to add that the Zionist regime assisted India in this plot (26),as balkanizing and weakening Islamic states is a cornerstone of the Jewish supremacist entity’s foreign policy, as discussed earlier in the chronicling of the TTP’s history.The modern day “Agartala Conspiracy” can be accurately referred to as the “Balochistan Conspiracy.” Just before the Mossad-and-RAW-backed TTP began carrying out its latest massacre of Shi’a Muslims in an attempt to drum up more sectarian tension across Pakistan, which, by the way, is an ongoing machination as Pakistani security forces just stopped another possible attack on Kirani Road in the Hazara Town neighborhood of Quetta (27), a tragedy of literally mountainous proportions struck the Pakistan nation on April 7th, 2012 as an avalanche on the famed Siachen Glacier, a massively geopolitically important strategic nexus and integral, ancestral part of Pakistan’s national and cultural heritage, slammed down upon the headquarters of the 6NLI battalion of the Pakistani Army, trapping at least 139 soldiers and civilians underneath the frozen tundra. Illegally occupied by Hindutva in April 1984 in Operation Meghdoot, Siachen is once again back in the spotlight and reminding Pakistanis that the agreement signed between their nation and India in 1989 to secure the withdrawal of all forces has been consistently ignored because of Hindutva’s intransigence and its dreams of supremacist expansionism (28). 

The illegal Indian occupation of the Siachen Glacier is key to the overall Zionist-Hindutvadi strategy vis-à-vis Pakistan.

Developed by the Indian Armed Forces’ Western Command in 1978 and actually engaged by the Indian Armed Forces’ Northern Command, Operation Meghdoot was launched to capture Karakoram Highway (KKH), therefore disconnecting Pakistan’s road links to China, as well as to capture the passes that connect Siachen Glacier to Gilgit-Baltistan, therefore confiscating yet another piece of land historically linked with occupied Kashmir. This act of Hindutvadi criminality was meant to bog down large numbers of Pakistan’s best and brightest forces in high altitude warfare, while continuing the build-up towards the initiation of the Cold Start Doctrine and Operation Kurukshetra. Moreover, what is additionally and most importantly attached to the “bog-down” strategy of the illegal Indian occupation of Siachen is its policy of supporting terrorists in Balochistan, specifically the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and of course, the TTP (28). Hindutva and its allies in the CIA and Britain’s MI6 are also funding, arming and training the Baloch Liberation Front (BLF), Baloch Republican Army (BRA) and Lashkar-e-Balochistan. RAW and CIA have set up 60 training camps across Balochistan to maintain this destabilization, which is occurring just 100 miles east of Iran (29).  Where there is Hindutva, Zionism is never too far away and this is especially true for Balochistan. Another vital asset of the gaggle of secessionist-terrorist elements being utilized by the enemies of Pakistan to plunge the Islamic nation into devastation is the shadowy group known as Jundallah, which has been trained and armed by Mossad for years now. Mossad has used Jundallah against the Islamic Republic of Iran on numerous occasions in bloody, bloody slaughterous attacks and even Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei himself has made mention of it (30). 

Mossad operatives posed as CIA agents to recruit Jundallah terrorists into causing a rift between Pakistan and Iran; a  classic “Israeli” false flag.

In its typical use of its classic and favorite tactic, the false flag, operatives of Mossad have also posed as CIA agents and flaunted wads of American cash and US passports to recruit Jundallah into carrying out bombings against Iranian women and children to terrorize the Zionist entity’s most hated enemy. While this has been analyzed in journalistic spheres on and off the Internet, what hasn’t been discussed is that a main objective of this particular Zionist false flag was to drive a wedge between Pakistan and Iran and foment suspicion between them (31). Thankfully, despite the terrible, terrible loss of Iranian life, the brotherly Islamic Republics have gotten over this and are moving forward with an important gas project in the face of immense pressure from the Zionist-occupied United States government (32). William Safire, infamous neconservative ideologue and member of the Jewish-Zionist brain trust that planned the annihilation of Iraq, was well-known for supporting the formation of a Kurdish state because it would weaken the Zionist entity’s three greatest enemies, Iraq, Iran and Syria (33). This exact line of Zionist thinking is present in the minds of Safire’s constituents at the powerful neoconservative think tank, the Brookings Institution, which produced a policy paper entitled, “Which Path To Persia?” that lays out numerous Israelcentric strategies for America and “Israel” to destroy Iran, including the launch of an insurgency in Balochistan with Pakistan being transformed into a total slave-state to support the terrorism against Iran by proxy. “Which Path To Persia?” was authored by notorious ‘Iranophobe’ and Jewish supremacist Kenneth M. Pollack, world-renowned lobbyist for the usurping Zionist regime Martin Indyk, Jewish-Zionist CIA stalwart and developer of Obama’s Af-Pak strategy Bruce Reidel, Jewish supremacist defender of the criminal “Israeli” practice of “targeted killings” Daniel L. Byman and neoconservative shabbos goyim Suzanne Maloney and Michael E. O’Hanlon (34).

Oded Yinon’s plan made manifest in Pakistan: Balochistan and Pashtunistan secede, leaving the mighty Islamic Republic in Zionist-made shambles.

“Israeli” foreign policy advisor Oded Yinon’s “A Strategy For Israel In The 1980s”, the monumental 1982 paper that documented in detail how the Jewish occupation regime plans to balkanize its enemies through infiltration, subversion and terrorism, rendering them non-existent as robust nation-states and turning them into satellites of Zionist hegemony, was instrumental in the Jewish decimation of Iraq (35), and it is now being implemented in numerous nations across the continent of Africa (36). The Yinon plan is also very much underway in Pakistan, with the ultimate territorial goal of the Zionist entity being to break off Balochistan from the Islamic Republic, as well as a larger chunk of land in the western part of the country to make way for a gutted Afghanistan called “Pashtunistan (37),” thus crippling Pakistan in a devastating way, essentially reincarnating and modernizing the “Agartala Conspiracy” of 1971.The convergence of Zionist-Hindutvadi objectives in Balochistan is by no means a coincidence. It is in fact exceedingly deliberate. A sister of the Dragon Policy, the Yinon-styled infiltration of Balochistan is a plot more than 10 years old known as “Operation Blue Tulsi.” The resurrection of the BLA and its offshoots, the training camps set up for them, the bases set up by Mossad, RAW and the occasional cluster of CIA agents to run the terror squads, the BLA designs to overthrow the Islamabad government in 2004, the setup of a Baloch regime office in occupied al-Quds to better coordinate Mossad-RAW-CIA subversion schemes, the assassinations of top military and intelligence officials followed by their replacement with infiltrators from the Zionist-Hindutvadi nexus, and all other facsimile events are part and parcel of Operation Blue Tulsi (38), which is being executed simultaneously alongside Cold Start and Operation Kurukshetra.On a side note, it is interesting to record that the “Pakistani” troops exported to Bahrain to be used in the crackdown on a revolutionary uprising in that country at the behest of its ruling regime, the criminal and barbaric Al-Khalifa monarchy, which has bragged about its ties to Mossad and has told all of its top officials not to refer to “Israel” as the “enemy” or the “Zionist entity (39),” are not from the nationalistic and anti-Zionist military-intelligence apparatus of Pakistan, but from Balochistan (40).Not only is Mossad-RAW-backed terrorism from Balochistan wreaking havoc on the lives of innocent Pakistanis and Kashmiris, but Bahrainis too.

There isn’t a single aspect of Pakistan’s tragic political history  that hasn’t been dirtied by the hands of “Israel”  and India.

With revelations having emerged from Jewish former US Ambassador to India John Gunther Dean that Mossad and RAW orchestrated the “accident” that murdered General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in 1988 (41), it seems that there isn’t a single segment of the tragic aspects of Pakistan’s tumultuous history that Zionism and Hindutva didn’t have their dirty hands in. Moreover, the Zionist-controlled United States has started bombing the “child of Jinnah, child of ‘Allama Iqbal” once again with drones as sadistic revenge for cutting off NATO supplies to occupied Afghanistan (42); the latest attack has left four little Pakistani girls slaughtered (43). And with the egregious and monstrous human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir continuing en masse, as most recently evidenced by the Indian occupation army being implicated in punishing Kashmiris through slave labor (44), and the more than1,332 Kashmiris locked up in Hindutvadi dungeons through the draconian PSA over the last three years (45), the aforesaid plans for another intifada in the Vale couldn’t have come at a better time. The filthy and pernicious plots of the Zionist-Hindutvadi alliance against the peoples of Pakistan and occupied Kashmir must be confronted and stopped once and for all.

One day, the breathtakingly gorgeous land of Kashmir will be free of Hindutva’s military occupation and Zionism’s plots of subversion and balkanization.

ISLAMABAD — Pakistani officials on Monday condemned the U.S. for carrying out its first drone strike in the country since parliament demanded they end two weeks ago, but qualified that it should be seen in light of the presence of Islamist militants on Pakistani soil.

The mixed signals indicate the delicate tightrope the government is trying to walk with the American attacks. They are very unpopular in Pakistan, so opposing them makes sense for political reasons. But the government does not seem to want the strikes to torpedo attempts to patch up ties with the U.S., which could free up over $1 billion in American military aid.

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying the strikes which killed three suspected militants in the North Waziristan tribal area Sunday “are in total contravention of international law and established norms of interstate relations.”

“The government of Pakistan has consistently maintained that drone attacks are violative of its territorial integrity and sovereignty,” it said.

Pakistan’s parliament demanded an end to the strikes in mid-April when it approved new guidelines for the country’s relationship with the U.S.

Washington had hoped that parliament’s decision would pave the way for Pakistan to reopen supply lines for NATO troops in Afghanistan that were closed in November in retaliation for American airstrikes that accidentally killed 24 Pakistani troops.

The drone attacks have been a stumbling block. But Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani struck a moderate tone Monday when he seemed to link the strikes to the continued ability of Islamist militants fighting the government and international forces in Afghanistan to operate on Pakistan’s territory.

He pointed out that the resolution passed by parliament also stipulated that foreign fighters must be expelled from the country and Pakistani soil should not be used to attack other countries.

“So, when we plan a strategy (with the U.S.), all these aspects would be discussed,” said Gilani.

The U.S. has repeatedly demanded that Pakistan target Taliban and al-Qaida militants who use its territory to launch cross-border attacks.

The Pakistani military has refused, claiming its forces are stretched too thin by operations against homegrown militants battling the government. However, many analysts believe Pakistan is reluctant to target militants with whom it has historical ties because they could be useful allies in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw.

The drone issue is complicated by the fact that some elements of the Pakistani government, including the military, have helped the U.S. carry out strikes in the past. That cooperation has come under strain as the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated, but many analysts believe some in the government still support the program at some level.

Even those Pakistani officials believed to support the attacks often protest them in public because they are so unpopular in the country. Many Pakistanis believe they most kill civilians, an allegation disputed by the U.S. and independent research.

A Pakistani intelligence official said the most recent strike seemed to be a message from the U.S.

“It’s a message that things are going to continue as usual irrespective of what we say,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

It’s not the first time the U.S. has ignored Pakistan’s parliament, which has called for the drone strikes to end since 2008.

President Barack Obama significantly ramped up strikes in Pakistan when he took office in 2009, and while the U.S. has said little publicly about the attacks, American officials have argued in private that they are critical to targeting Taliban and al-Qaida fighters who threaten the West.

Drones are not the only issue complicating Pakistan’s decision to reopen the NATO supply lines.

The country’s parliament has also demanded that the U.S. provide an “unconditional apology” for the deaths of the Pakistani troops in November. The U.S. has expressed regret, but has declined to apologize – a decision that appears to be driven by domestic political considerations. The U.S. has said its troops fired in self-defense – a claim disputed by Pakistan – and the White House could be concerned about Republican criticism if it apologizes.

China’s Land Bridge to Turkey creates new Eurasian Geopolitical Potentials      

…by F. William Engdahl

The prospect of an unparalleled Eurasian economic boom lasting into the next Century and beyond is at hand.

The first steps binding the vast economic space are being constructed with a number of little-publicized rail links connecting China, Russia, Kazakhstan and parts of Western Europe.

It is becoming clear to more people in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Eurasia including China and Russia that their natural tendency to build these markets faces only one major obstacle.

And that is NATO and the US Pentagon’s Full Spectrum Dominance obsession.  Rail infrastructure is a major key to building vast new economic markets across Eurasia.

China and Turkey are in discussions to build a new high-speed railway link across Turkey. If completed it would be the country’s largest railway project ever, even including the pre-World War I Berlin-Baghdad Railway link.

The project was perhaps the most important agenda item, far more so than Syria during talks in Beijing between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Chinese leadership in early April.

The proposed rail link would run from Kars on the easternmost border with Armenia, through the Turkish interior on to Istanbul where it would connect to the Marmaray rail tunnel now under construction that runs under the Bosphorus strait. Then it would continue to Edirne near the border to Greece and Bulgaria in the European Union.

It will cost an estimated $35 billion. The realization of the Turkish link would complete a Chinese Trans-Eurasian Rail Bridge project that would bring freight from China to Spain and England.[1]

The Kars-Edirne line would reduce travel time across Turkey by two-thirds from 36 hours down to 12. Under an agreement signed between China and Turkey in October 2010, China has agreed to extend loans of $30 billion for the planned rail network.[2]

In addition a Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway connecting Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku to Kars is under construction, which greatly increases the strategic importance of the Edirne-Kars line. For China it would put a critical new link in its railway infrastructure across Eurasia to markets in Europe and beyond.

With the planned connection of the Marmaray project under the Bosphorus to the Edirne-Kars high-speed railway line, a train line from China’s easternmost Lianyungang to Spain and England would be completed. (Map: Yunus Emre Hatunoğlu)

Erdogan’s visit to Beijing was significant for other reasons. It was the first such high level trip of a Turkish Prime Minister to China since 1985.

Turkish and Chinese leaders meet in Beijing China to explore economic opportunities between the two largest growing economies in 2012. Several deals were signed mainly in the areas of energy and technology

The fact that Erdogan was also granted a high-level meeting with Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, the man slated to be next Chinese President, and was granted an extraordinary visit to China’s oil-rich Xinjiang Province also shows the high priority China is placing on its relations with Turkey, a key emerging strategic force in the Middle East.

Xinjiang is a highly sensitive part of China as it hosts some 9 million ethnic Uyghurs who share a Turkic heritage with Turkey as well as nominal adherence to the Turkish Sunni branch of Islam.

In July 2009 the US government, acting through the National Endowment for Democracy, the regime-change NGO it finances, backed a major Uyghur uprising in which many Han Chinese shop owners were killed or injured. Washington in turn blamed the riots on Beijing as part of a strategy of escalating pressure on China. [3]

During Uyghur riotsin Xinjiang in 2009, Erdogan accused Beijing of “genocide” and attacked the Chinese on human rights, a dicey issue for Turkey given their Kurd ethnic problems. Clearly economic priorities from both sides have now changed the political calculus.

Building the world’s greatest market

Contrary to the dogma of Milton Friedman and his monetarist followers, markets are never “free.” They are always manmade. The essential element to building new markets is building infrastructure, and for the vast landmass of Eurasia railroad linkages, ideally high-speed rail links, are essential to those new markets and the fastest way to economic prosperity for all concerned.

With the end of the Cold War in 1990 the vast under-developed land space of Eurasia became open again. This space contains some forty percent of total land in the world, much of it prime unspoiled agriculture land; it contains three-fourth of the entire world population, an asset of incalculable worth.

It consists of some eighty eight of the world’s countries and three-fourths of known world energy resources as well as every mineral known needed for industrialization. North America as an economic potential, rich as she is, pales by comparison.

The Turkish-China railway discussion is but one part of a vast Chinese strategy to weave a network of inland rail connections across the Eurasian Continent.

The aim is to literally create the world’s greatest new economic space and in turn a huge new market for not just China but all Eurasian countries, the Middle East and Western Europe.

Direct rail service is faster and cheaper than either ships or trucks, and much cheaper than airplanes. For manufactured Chinese or other Eurasian products the rail land bridge links are creating vast new economic trading activity all along the rail line.

Two factors have made this prospect realizable for the first time since the Second World War. First the collapse of the Soviet Union has opened up the land space of Eurasia in entirely new ways as has the opening of China to Russia and its Eurasian neighbors, overcoming decades of mistrust. This is being met by the eastward expansion of the European Union to the countries of the former Warsaw Pact.

The demand for faster rail transport over the vast Eurasian distances is clear. China’s container port activity and that of its European and North American destinations is reaching a saturation point as volumes of container traffic explode at double-digit rates.

Singapore recently displaced Rotterdam as the world’s largest port in volume terms. The growth rate for container port throughput in China in 2006, before outbreak of the world financial crisis was some 25% annually. In 2007 Chinese ports accounted for some 28 per cent of world container port throughput. [4]

Singapore – A Container Port on Steroids

However there is another aspect to the Chinese and, to an extent, the Russian land bridge strategies. By moving trade flows over land, it is more secure in the face of escalating military tensions between the nations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, especially China and Russia, and NATO.

Sea transport must flow through highly vulnerable narrow passageways or choke points such as the Malaysian Straits of Malacca.

The Turkish Kars-Edirne railway would form an integral part of an entire web of Chinese-initiated rail corridors across the Eurasian landmass.

Following the example of how rail infrastructure transformed the economic space of Europe and later of America during the late 19^th Century, the Chinese government, which today stands as the world’s most efficient railroad constructor, has quietly been extending its rail links into Central Asia and beyond for several years.

They have proceeded in segments, one reason the vast ambition of their grand rail infrastructure has drawn so little attention to date in the West outside the shipping industry.

China builds Second Eurasian Land Bridge

By 2011 China had completed a Second Eurasian Land Bridge running from China’s port of Lianyungang on the East China Sea through to Kazakhstan’s Druzhba and on to Central Asia, West Asia and Europe to various European destinations and finally to Rotterdam Port of Holland on the Atlantic coast.

The Second Eurasian Land Bridge is a new railway connecting the Pacific and the Atlantic that was completed by China to Druzhba in Kazakhstan. This newest Eurasia land bridge extends west in China through six provinces–Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang autonomous region, which neighbors respectively with Shandong Province, Shanxi Province, Hubei Province, Sichuan Province, Qinghai Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and Inner Mongolia.

That covers about 360,000 square kilometers, some 37% of the total land space of China. About 400 million people live in the areas, which accounts for 30% of the total population of the country. Outside of China, the land bridge covers over 40 countries and regions in both Asia and Europe, and is particularly important for the countries in Central and West Asia that don’t have sea outlets.

In 2011 China’s Vice Premier Wang Qishan announced plans to build a new high-speed railway link within Kazakhstan, linking the cities of Astana and Almaty, to be ready in 2015.  The Astana-Almaty line, with a total length of 1050 kilometers, employing China’s advanced rail-building technology, will allow high-speed trains to run at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

DB Schenker Rail Automotive is now transporting auto parts from Leipzig to Shenyang in northeastern China for BMW. Trains loaded with parts and components depart from DB Schenker’s Leipzig trans-shipment terminal in a three-week, 11,000 km journey to BMW’s Shenyang plant in the Liaoning province, where components are used in the assembly of BMW vehicles. Beginning in late November 2011, trains bound for Shenyang departed Leipzig once each day.

“With a transit time of 23 days, the direct trains are twice as fast as maritime transport, followed by over-the-road transport to the Chinese hinterland,” says Dr. Karl-Friedrich Rausch, member of the management board for DB Mobility Logistics’ Transportation and Logistics division. The route reaches China via Poland, Belarus, and Russia. Containers have to be transferred by crane to different gauges twice—first to Russian broad gauge at the Poland-Belarus border, then back to standard gauge at the Russia-China border in Manzhouli.[5]

In May 2011 a daily direct rail freight service was launched between the Port of Antwerp, Europe’s second-largest port, and Chongqing, the industrial hub in China’s southwest. That greatly speeded rail freight transport across Eurasia to Europe. Compared to the 36 days for maritime transport from east China’s ports to west Europe, the Antwerp-Chongqing Rail Freight service now takes 20 to 25 days, and the aim is to cut that to 15 to 20 days.

Westbound cargo includes automotive and technological goods, eastbound shipments are mostly chemicals. The project was a major priority for the Antwerp Port and the Belgian government in cooperation with China and other partners. The service is run by Swiss inter-modal logistics provider Hupac, their Russian partner Russkaya Troyka and Eurasia Good Transport over a distance of more than 10,000km, starting from Port of Antwerp through to Germany and Poland, and further to Ukraine, Russia and Mongolia before reaching Chongqing in China.[6]

The Second Eurasian Land Bridge runs 10,900 kilometers in length, with some 4100 kilometers of that in China. Within China the line runs parallel to one of the ancient routes of the Silk Road. The rail line continues across China into Druzhba where it links with the broader gauge rail lines of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is the largest inland country in the world.

As Chinese rail and highways have expanded west, trade between Kazakhstan and China has been booming. From January to October 2008, goods passing through the Khorgos port between the two nations reached 880,000 tons – over 250% growth compared with the same period a year before. Trade between China and Kazakhstan is expected to grow 3 to 5 fold by 2013. As of 2008, only about 1% of the goods shipped from Asia to Europe were delivered by overland routes, meaning the room for expansion is considerable.[7]

From Kazakhstan the lines go on via Russia and Belarus over Poland to the markets of the European Union.

Another line goes to Tashkent in Uzbekistan, Central Asia’s largest city of some two millions. Another line goes west to Turkmenistan’s capital Asgabat and to the border of Iran.[8]  With some additional investment, these links, now tied to the vast expanse and markets of China could open new economic possibilities in much-neglected regions of Central Asia.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) could provide a well-suited vehicle for coordination of a broad Eurasian rail infrastructure coordination to maximize these initial rail links. The members of the SCO, formed in 2001, include China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikstan, Uzbekistan with Iran, India, Mongolia and Pakistan as Observer Status countries.

Russia’s Land Bridge

Russia is well positioned to benefit greatly from such an SCO strategy. The First Eurasian Land Bridge runs through Russia along the Trans-Siberian Railway, first completed in 1916 to unify the Russian Empire. The Trans-Siberian remains the longest single rail line in the world at 9,297 kilometers, a tribute to the vision of Russian Sergei Witte in the 1890s.

The world’s longest railway, the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia, is 5,777 miles (9,297 kilometers) long. It runs from Moscow to Vladivostok.I

The Trans-Siberian Railway, also called the Northern East-West Corridor, runs from the Russian Far East Port of Vladivostok and links in Europe to the Port of Rotterdam some 13,000 kilometers. At present it is the less attractive for Pacific-to-Atlantic freight because of maintenance problems and maximum speeds of 55 km.

There are attempts to better use the Trans-Siberian Land Bridge. In January 2008 a long distance Eurasian rail freight service, the “Beijing-Hamburg Container Express” was successfully tested by the German railway Deutsche Bahn. It completed the 10,000 km (6,200 miles) journey in 15 days to link the Chinese capital to the German port city, going through Mongolia, the Russian Federation, Belarus and Poland. By ship to the same markets takes double the time or some 30 days.

This route, which began commercial service in 2010 incorporates a section of the existing Trans-Siberian Railway, a rail link using a broader gauge than either Chinese or European trains, meaning two offloads and reloads onto other trains at the China-Mongolia border and again at the Belarus-Poland border.

Were the Trans-Siberian railway passage across Russian Eurasian space to be modernized and upgraded to accommodate high-speed freight traffic, it would add a significant new economic dimension to the economic development of Russia’s interior regions. The Trans-Siberian is double-tracked and electrified. The need is minimally to improve some segments to insure a better integration of all the elements to make it a more attractive option for Eurasian freight to the west.

There are strong indications the new Putin presidency will turn more of its attention to Eurasia. Modernization of the First Eurasian Land Bridge would be a logical way to accomplish much of that development by literally creating new markets and new economic activity.

With the bond markets of the United States and Europe flooded with toxic waste and state bankruptcy fears, issuance of Russian state bonds for modernization or even a new parallel high-speed rail Land Bridge linking to the certainty of growing freight traffic across Eurasia would have little difficulty finding eager investors.

Russia is currently in discussion with China and Chinese rail constructors who are bidding on construction of a planned $20 billion of new high-speed Russian rail track to be completed before the 2018 Russian hosting of the Soccer World Cup. China’s experience in building some 12,000 km of high speed rail in record time is a major asset for China’s bid. Significantly, Russia plans to raise $10 billion of the cost by issuing new railroad bonds.[9]

A Third Eurasian Land Bridge?

In 2009 at the Fifth Pan-Pearl River Delta Regional (PPRD) Cooperation and Development Forum, a government-sponsored event, the Yunnan provincial government announced its intention to accelerate construction of needed infrastructure to build a third Eurasian continental land bridge that will link south China to Rotterdam via Turkey over land. This is part of what Erdogan and Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao discussed in Beijing this April.

The network of inland roads for the land bridge within Yunnan province will be completed by 2015, said Yunnan governor Qin Guangrong. The project starts from coastal ports in Guangdong, with the Port of Shenzhen being the most important. It will ultimately go all the way through Kunming to Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Iran, entering Europe from Turkey.[10]

The route would cut some 6,000-km from the sea journey between the Pearl River Delta and Rotterdam and allow production from China’s eastern manufacturing centers to reach Asia, Africa and Europe. The proposal is for completing a series of missing rail and modern highway links totaling some 1,000 Km, not that inconceivable.

In neighboring Myanmar a mere 300 km of railways and highways are lacking in order to link the railways in Yunnan with the highway network of Myanmar and South Asia. It will help China pave the way for building a land channel to the Indian Ocean.

The third Eurasian Land Bridge will cross 20 countries in Asia and Europe and have a total length of about 15,000 kilometers, which is 3,000 to 6,000 kilometers shorter than the sea route entering at the Indian Ocean from the southeast coast via the Malacca Straits. The total annual trade volume of the regions the route passes through was nearly US$300 billion in 2009.

Ultimately the plan is for a branch line that would also start in Turkey, cross Syria and Palestine, and end in Egypt, facilitating transportation from China to Africa. Clearly the Pentagon’s AFRICOM and the US-backed Arab Spring unrest directly impacts that extension, though for how long at this point is unclear. [11]

The geopolitical dimension

Not every major international player is pleased about the growing linkages binding the economies of Eurasia with western Europe and Africa. In his now famous 1997 book, “The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives”, former Presidential adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski noted,

“In brief, for the United States, Eurasian geo-strategy involves the purposeful management of geo-strategically dynamic states…To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geo-strategy are to prevent collusion and to

maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together.” [12]

The “barbarians” that Brzezinski refers to are China and Russia and all in between. The Brzezinski term “imperial geo-strategy” refers to US strategic foreign policy. The “vassals” he identifies in the book as countries like Germany, Japan and other NATO “allies” of the US. That Brzezinski geopolitical notion remains US foreign policy today. [13]

The prospect of an unparalleled Eurasian economic boom lasting into the next Century and beyond is at hand. The first sinews of binding the vast economic space have been put in place or are being constructed with these rail links. It is becoming clear to more people in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Eurasia including China and Russia that their natural tendency to build these markets faces only one major obstacle: NATO and the US Pentagon’s Full Spectrum Dominance obsession.

In the period prior to World War I it was the decision in Berlin to build a rail land link to and through the Turkish Ottoman Empire from Berlin to Baghdad that was the catalyst for British strategists to incite the events that plunged Europe into the most destructive war in history to that date.

This time we have a chance to avoid a similar fate with the Eurasian development. More and more the economically stressed economies of the EU are beginning to look east and less to their west across the Atlantic for Europe’s economic future.

كابول – كاميليا انتخابي فرد
في الأسبوع الماضي، شنّ متمردون سلسلة من الهجمات العنيفة في كابول وفي أربع محافظات أخرى في أفغانستان، مُبدين بذلك قدرة كبيرة على تحدّي جهاز الاستخبارات الحكومي في مدن كبيرة مثل كابول وجلال آباد.

وبعد حوالى أسبوع على تسليم العمليات الليلية إلى قوات الأمن الأفغانية، تحدّت حركة «طالبان» والمتمرّدون قدرات أجهزة الاستخبارات الأفغانية والقوات الخاصة من خلال إرسال 36 انتحارياً إلى أنحاء مختلفة من البلد، علماً أنّ معظمهم شنّ هجوماً على العاصمة. وفي 15 نيسان (أبريل)، دخل نحو 20 انتــحارياً في غضون دقائق إلى كابول مدجّجين برشاشات ثقيلة وقاوموا قوات الأمن الأفغانية على مدى 20 ساعة. ولم يكن الهدف من الهجمات التي نفّذت من أعلى المباني الشاهقة ضد سفارات أجنبية ومقر «إيساف» التسبب بسقوط ضحايا مدنيين، بل زرع خوف دائم في نفوس الشعب الأفغاني القلق أصلاً على المستقبل بعد انسحاب القوات الأميركية والحلفاء عام 2014.

لم تذكر حركة «طالبان» التي أعلنت مسؤوليتها عن سلسلة الهجمات التي وقعت في كابول وإقليم نانجهار وباكتيا وجلال آباد، أسباباً واضحة دفعتها إلى شنّ هذه الهجمات، كما أعلنت شبكة «حقاني» مسؤوليتها، معتبرة أنّ الهجمات نُفّذت للثأر من الجندي الأميركي الذي قتل 16 فرداً من عائلة واحدة في قندهار منذ شهر. غير أنه لا يمكن إثبات صحة هذا الادعاء، لا سيّما أنّ المناطق التي استهدفتها الهجمات الأخيرة لم تكن قريبة من المقرات الأميركية، مثل السفارة الأميركية أو قاعدة «باغرام» الأميركية في كابول.

اليوم، يجري الحديث في كابول عمّا يسمى بشبكة حقاني. لكن يبدو أنّ هذه الشبكة تشكّل غطاء جيّداً للعمليات التي تنفذّها حركة «طالبان». كما حمّل البعض العضو الأسبق في جماعات «المجاهدين» قلب الدين حكمتيار مسؤولية الأعمال الإرهابية المريبة التي وقعت خلال الأشهر القليلة الماضية.

ويُعرف حكمتيار الذي تولى على مدى سنة رئاسة الوزراء في حكومة «المجاهدين»، بالدور الدامي الذي أدّاه عند تدمير كابول خلال الحرب الأهلية الأليمة التي اندلعت في التسعينات. ويرى عدد كبير من الأشخاص في النخبة الأفغانية، أنّ حكمتيار هو العقل المدبّر للهجمات التي شُنّت في أفغانستان بما في ذلك الهجوم الذي وقع في الأسبوع الماضي في كابول.

حالياً، يربط تحالف متين بين قلب الدين حكمتيار وحركة «طالبان». ويضمّ حزبه «الحزب الإسلامي» أعضاء مدربين وأوفياء، علماً أنّ البعض منهم يعمل في إدارة كارزاي ويتبوأ مناصب عليا في الحكومة الأفغانية. تمّ تحميل «الحزب الإسلامي» مسؤولية القتل والدمار الكبير الذي لحق بكابول في نهاية التسعينات من القرن الماضي، ما دفع عدداً كبيراً من الأفغان العاديين إلى الترحيب ببروز حركة «طالبان».

ويرى السياسيون الأفغان، أنّ حكمتيار هو أحد أهم الزعماء المتمردين الناشطين في أفغانستان إلى جانب الملا محمد عمر وشبكة حقاني.

من المهمّ بالنسبة إلى الرئيس كارزاي أن تصل محادثات السلام مع حركة «طالبان» إلى مرحلة معيّنة قبل نهاية عام 2014 ورحيل القوات الأجنبية. هل بوسعه بلوغ هذا الهدف في غضون هذا الوقت القصير في حين يقتل المتمردون أكثر الأشخاص نفوذاً وأكثر السياسيين كفاءة في أفغانستان لا سيّما خلال العام الماضي؟

أشار ديبلوماسي أفغاني معني بالمجلس الأعلى للسلام، إلى أنّ «حكمتيار طموح ويعتبر نفسه مرشحاً قوياً في الانتخابات الرئاسية القادمة». كما لفت المصدر نفسه إلى أنّ حكمتيار يعتبر أنه قادر على العمل مع حركة «طالبان» وعلى إقناعها بوقف القتال في حال أصبح رئيساً. وبما أنه ينتمي إلى قبيلة البشتون الإثنية ومقرّب من بعض المجموعات التابعة لحركة «طالبان»، يعتبر حكمتيار المرشح الأنسب للرئاسة خلال الفترة التي تلي الاحتلال.

كان برهان الدين ربّاني خصم حكمتيار. ويرى قادة كبار في جماعات المجاهدين أنّ عدداً كبيراً من أعداء حكمتيار قتلوا خلال السنة الماضية. ومع رحيل الرجال الذين يحظون بمكانة عالية والجديرين بالثقة مثل ربّاني، سيكون حكمتيار قادراً على فرض نفسه كمرشح جدير بالثقة بسبب غياب المرشحين الأكفاء الآخرين.

والواقع أنّ محادثات السلام لم تحقّق بعد نجاحاً مهمّاً، لأنه من غير الواضح كيف أنّ عدداً كبيراً من المجموعات والخصوم لا يزالون يتقاتلون بعضهم مع بعض.

تمّ إعلان خبر تجديد محادثات السلام مع «الحزب الإسلامي» حين أعلن الرئيس كارزاي أنّ الانتخابات الرئاسية في أفغانستان ستجري بعد سنة، أي في عام 2013 في محاولة منه ربما للحصول على مساعدة أكبر وعلى التزامات أمنية من المجتمع الدولي قبل رحيل القوات الأجنبية.

وقبل أسبوع من الهجمات الأخيرة في كابول، أعلن المجلس الأعلى للسلام أنه سيستأنف قريباً محادثات السلام مع حكمتيار. تمّ إنهاء محادثات السلام سريعاً مع ممثلي حكمتيار منذ أشهر عدّة، بعد أن طرح حكمتيار 17 شرطاً، فضلاً عن مطالبته برحيل القوات الأجنبية وإرساء حكومة انتقالية بعد إجراء الانتخابات الرئاسية. واعتبر ربّاني والرئيس كارزاي هذه المطالب غير مقبولة، فتمّ حينها إنهاء المحادثات.

ومنذ الأسبوع الماضي، انتقد حميد كارزاي حلف شمال الأطلسي وأجهزة الاستخبارات الأفغانية لأنها أخفقت في تفادي الهجمات الأخيرة. غير أنه أشاد بقوات الأمن والشرطة الأفغانية لإبدائها قدرة كبيرة في محاربة الإرهاب.

غير أنّ ضعف الاستخبارات الذي انتقده الرئيس ليس جديداً على أفغانستان،

فمنذ سنتين تقريباً انعقد مجلس السلام في كابول، الذي جمع حوالى 1600 زعيم وطني لمناقشة الخروق الأمنية التي قد تعرضهم لخطر هجوم من حركة «طالبان»، وقد أجبر كارزاي رئيس الاستخبارات عمر الله صالح ووزير الداخلية أتمار على الاستقالة. وعارض سياسيون خارجيون ومحليون القرار الذي اتخذه كارزاي.

وبعد أيام على إقالته من منصبه، أخبرني صالح أنّ الرئيس كارزاي كان يتعرّض لضغوطات كبيرة من باكستان لا سيّما من أجهزة الاستخبارات للتخلّص من صالح في حال أراد كارزاي أن يتحسّن الأمن الأفغاني وأن يحصل على تعاون باكستان. وأذعن كارزاي، فرحّل صالح عن منصبه، إلا أنّ جهاز الاستخبارات لم يف بوعده ولم يتمّ تحسين الأمن في أفغانستان. وفي أيلول (سبتمبر) 2011، تعرّضت كابول لهجمات نفذّتها حركة «طالبان» ضد السفارة الأميركية وتمّ منذ ستة أشهر اغتيال الرئيس الأفغاني الأسبق ربّاني الذي كان مفاوضاً كبيراً مع حركة «طالبان» في المجلس الأعلى للسلام، في منزله.

وشكّلت الهجمات الأخيرة أكبر سلسلة من الهجمات تشهـــدها كابــــول بعد حـــــــكم حركة «طالبان». لماذا لم يجبر الرئيــــس كارزاي رئيس الأمن في البلد على الاستقالة في حين يتمّ تحميل فشل أجهزة الاستخبارات المسؤولية؟

كان أداء الشرطة وقوات الأمن الأفغانية جيّداً . أدّت العملية الليلية الأفغانية إلى بلوغ المرحلة النهائية من القتال ضد الإرهابيين في كابول، وتعدّ مصدر فخر لأفغانستان. تمّ التشكيك بقدرة أفغانستان واستعدادها لإدارة العمليات الليلية التي سُلّمت إلى جهاز الأمن الأفغاني قبل أسبوع على وقوع الهجمات. إلا أنها نجحت في مواجهة الانتحاريين الذين نفذّوا هجماتهم في الأسبوع الماضي. يشعر البلد بفخر وبرضى كبيرين، علماً أنّ هذا الشعور كان غائباً منذ مقتل رئيس الائتلاف الشمالي أحمد شاه مسعود. لقد أخفقت أجهزة استخبارات الحكومية وكارزاي أيضاً، إلا أنّ الشعب الأفغاني وقوات الأمن الأفغانية نجحت في الدفاع عن نفسها

The Ones We Know About

What Has Been Kept From You, Beyond Classified

 by  Gordon Duff, Senior Editor

We are told North Korea is poor, starving and totally broke.  We are told their missiles blow up on their launch pads, their nuclear bombs “fizzle out.” 

We tell jokes about them, make fun of their leaders, talk about their isolation. 

North Korea represents a clear and present danger to the safety of the United States and our government is lying to us about it.

Yes, America is at it again. We lie.

North Korea is isolated for a reason.   Most likely, a short time ago, the US destroyed a North Korean experimental weapon on the launch pad, using one of our own, a craft capable of inter-planetary travel and, thusly, one that is “just our imagination” like the hundreds of thousands of tons of vaporized steel from the World Trade Center on 9/11.

Last week, VT, along with intelligence agencies of two nations, analyzed the photographs of the UFOs in South Korea.  We published, with limited permission, highly classified proof that these were advanced American defense systems capable of operation within and without the atmosphere.  Go ahead, pretend it isn’t real.

Why Korea, why then, why the failed “satellite launch” and now the war threats, you will now begin to learn some of what we can now reveal.  Our advanced access to forensic analysis allowed us to verify the weapons, the highly secret American craft.  Forensics is a funny business, when you “do it for real.”

Physical Forensic Analysis is Not Your Amateur ‘Pixel’ Analysis – CGI Fakes Can be Spotted Immediately

We have had others done, all just as phony as the airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center, no mass, no movement, no metal signatures, veritable cartoons, hardly of Disney or Star Wars quality.

We lie about North Korea, we play games with them, and so do others.  They are heavily financed by both Russia and China, maintain a bizarre and complicated relationship with their “sister nation,” South Korea and everything we are told is total fiction.

Now they are saying they have secret weapons and can destroy the United States.  In some ways, we have been able to confirm at least part of their claims.

Years ago, scientists from North Korea defected reporting advanced biological experiments.  We were told North Korea had developed a “white people bomb” that would kill everyone that didn’t have certain Chinese and Korean genes.

Anthrax – Surpassed by DNA Bio Weapons? Israel and South Africa Worked on One to Kill Only Arabs and Africans

We were able to confirm that North Korea spent years collecting gene specimens from every area of China and had the full and extremely unauthorized and secretive cooperation of the South Korean government.

We do not know if such a weapon exists but the Bush administration had plans to invade North Korea, plans that were scrapped when two scientists, one a Russian, one North Korean, met with Paul Wolfowitz and explained the projects they had been working on.

All of it may well have been lies, other projects probably were not.

It has been of some propaganda value to the United States and others to print accounts of guards from what has been described as “Camp 22″ who have, somehow, been able to escape through China and eventually into US hands.

Japanese Unit 731 aftermath – Corpses were collected for quick autopsy to observe bio weapons effects on organs while still fresh

Their stories are of a myriad of human experiments, everything Mengele was accused of during World War II, Mengele and the Japanese Unit 731 combined.

At least 200,000 people are said to have been frozen, vivisected, starved, poisoned, it goes on forever.

You either believe these things on face value with no proof or accept some of it as evidence of a biological weapons program along with something else.

The primary experiment North Korea has been involved in has involved manipulation of human DNA, projects assisted by Russian and China to create not only the “super soldier” but to increase “cerebral wattage” and double, even triple IQ.

Those treated are sent to Russia for education and returned to North Korea.  For every success there are failures.

One of the reasons that North Korea is kept so isolated is that their experimentation, a nation that functions as though it were a giant Monsanto Corporation, creator of GMO agriculture, the “Frankenwheat” and so many other products, is that some of the failures are allowed to live and are, on occasion seen, humans nearly 10 feet tall in some instances.

Our concern is this:  We are told that these weapons are deliverable and that the North Korean rocket program, not their nuclear program, is designed to infect populations with genetically engineered bioweapons.

At least one scientist from Israel, where such weapons are also being developed at a secret facility in the Southern Negev desert and in Libya, have visited Korea and shared some data.  Their warning is that North Korea is ready to do real damage, kill hundreds of millions, and has weapons it is ready to deploy.

In fact we have multiple assurances of this including informants from within North Korea itself.

Do we believe them?

The United States government believes them and the current language heard from North Korea, the threats of “super weapons” is not being ignored.

It must also be accepted that both China and Russia are fully complicit in their experiments and that China has made no real effort to rein in North Korea despite talking about it.  They are, in fact, very much partners and supply the billions needed for this advanced research.

Currently, North Korea is decades ahead of the rest of the world in bio-weapons research, advanced poisons but still working on their own delivery systems.

They also have an army that has genetically modified, “supersoldiers” as it were, who they believe can conquer South Korea in hours.

They are also prepared to launch immediate attacks on Japan and have a long history of kidnapping Japanese and studying their genetics in order to develop DNA related weapons to wipe out the Japanese race.

Were Americans more familiar with defense issues in the region, some of this would seem less surprising while other areas are too classified to ever be mentioned.

North Korea has spent 65 years digging themselves in, in order to protect themselves from thermonuclear attack.  South Korea is much less inclined to fight North Korea than we imagine and China has told us less than publicly that they have traditional interests in North Korea, a region they see as the “heartland” of their dynastic rulers.

There is a reason I am writing this.  I expect some to take a new look at North Korea’s behaviors, be less trustful of China in maintaining controls over North Korea and to put clear blame on Russia for anything that transpires related to North Korea. The old Soviet relationships never ended.

I also want our CIA to actually brief the president on the real nature of the threat.  I suspect they have not.

We have “flanked” them to some extent, showing them we have technologies they can only dream of.  They are now telling us the same and are not entirely untrue in doing it.

There is a very real danger, one is that our nuclear arsenal is poorly designed for dealing with.  Retaliation will not be an adequate answer, even if we have the common sense to recognize that North Korea has not been acting alone.

They really believe they are meant to be the only race destined to survive, a race of supermen.

Toward that end, they have built a wall around North Korea and had 65 years and uncounted wealth and scientific expertise to use along lines none in America have ever been briefed on.

We have allowed a maniacally ruled despotism to have technological advantages over us, something unforseen, something they are announcing hourly.

Whatever we can or can’t do, realize that Beijing and Moscow paid for every cent of it.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. — William Shakespeare, The Tempest.

A country robbed of peace and bereft of aspirations, Afghanistan seems to be plunging more and more into a pitiful morass of grievances brought about by the military madness the US troops exhibit in the beleaguered land with brazen-faced contumely.

One such instance of military insanity is reflected in the two-year-old photographs recently published by the Los Angeles Times which show US soldiers posing with the mangled bodies of Afghan militants.

These repugnant photos dealt a rapid blow to US-Afghan relations at a time when Washington seeks a strategic deal with Afghan President Hamed Karzai to maintain a presence in the country after the 2014 pullout of most foreign troops.

Karzai slammed the photographs as “inhuman” on Thursday, calling for a rapid transition from NATO to Afghan security in order to stall further similar incidents. A statement issued by Karzai’s office says, “The Afghan president emphasized that the only way to prevent such bitter experiences in the future is a quick and complete security transition from foreign forces.”

The 18 photos were provided by a soldier who served in Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne’s 4th Brigade Combat Team from Ft. Bragg, N.C. who believed that the photos “point to a breakdown in leadership and discipline.”

Apart from the rage these revolting photos sparked all across Afghanistan and the aversion they created in international community, these photos represent the absurdity and the devastating nature of a war initially waged in the name of de-talibanizing the country at the hands of those who have lost the very quintessence of humanity.

In 2010, a group of US soldiers made up a kill team and decided to go on a shooting spree in their neighborhood. Stationed in Kandahar, they went for a human hunt all for the sake of gratifying a mad passion neighing in their breasts. With no fear for any pangs of conscience that might later prick them to death, two men of Bravo Company, Cpl. Jeremy Morlock and Pfc. Andrew Holmes embarked on their devilish journey until they reached La Mohammad Kalay, an isolated farming village. They caught sight of a young Afghan whose age could not possibly exceed 15. His name was Gul Mudin. The young boy was killed in cold blood and his blood-stained body was used by the same soldiers to pose for photos. In an unnamable act, Pfc. Andrew Holmes then cut off the Afghan’s pinky for a keepsake. Later, it transpired that the US soldiers in his Platoon “[threw] candy out of a Stryker vehicle as they drove through a village [and shot] children who came running to pick up the sweets.” Later, Spiegel Online published some of these photos.

Desecrating the dead in Afghanistan by US soldiers is nothing new. In another inhuman act, a 40-second clip shows four men in combat gear urinating on three dead bodies.

They are also heard to say jokingly, ‘Have a great day, buddy’, ‘Golden like a shower’ and ‘Yeahhhh!’

It is very shocking to note that there is no limit to their insult. In February, US soldiers at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan burned some copies of the Holy Quran.

Hatred for the US government is on the rise in Afghanistan. Any iota of optimism that Washington launched an expedition into the country in order to wipe out the Taliban and give the Afghans a breath of freedom is obsolete now. The Afghan people’s cognizance of US agenda in the country may be next to nothing but they now know the sadistic-fetishistic acts the US troops perform on dead bodies in the country are an egregious affront to the Afghans in the first place and a desecration of all qualities revered by every sensible person in the second.

Colonialism has run its course. Yet, the US troops in Afghanistan have travelled back in time when Americans colonized people through the malicious practices of serfdom, indentured servitude and debt bondage and treated them as chattels. Figuratively speaking, they built their houses on the bones of their slaves.

But Afghanistan is not a US colony!

Last weekend, in Kabul, Afghan Peace Volunteer friends huddled in the back room of their simple home. With a digital camera, glimpses and sounds of their experiences were captured, as warfare erupted three blocks away.

Two Afghan youth taking refuge together with the Afghan Peace Volunteers

The fighting has subdued, but the video gives us a glimpse into chronic anxieties among civilians throughout Afghanistan. Later, we learned more: Ghulam awakens suddenly, well after midnight, and begins to pace through a room of sleeping people, screaming.  Ali suddenly tears up, after an evening meal, and leaves the room to sit outside. Staring at the sky and the moon, he finds solace.  Yet another puzzles over what brings people to the point of loaning themselves to possibly kill or be killed, over issues so easily manipulated by politicians.

I asked our friend, Hakim, who mentors the Afghan Peace Volunteers, if ordinary Afghans are aware that the U.S. has an estimated 400 or more Forward Operating Bases across Afghanistan and that it is planning to construct what will become the world’s largest U.S. Embassy, in Kabul.  Hakim thinks young people across Kabul are well aware of this. “Do they know,” I asked, “that the U.S. Air Force has hired 60,000 – 70,000 analysts to study information collected through drone surveillance?  The film footage amounts to the equivalent of 58,000 full length feature films. The Rand Corporation says that 100,000 analysts are needed to understand “patterns of life” in Afghanistan.”

Hakim’s response was quick and cutting: “Ghulam would ask the analysts a question they can’t answer with their drone surveillance, a question that has much to do with their business, ‘terror’: “You mean, you don’t understand why I screamed?”

Two days ago, “Democracy Now” interviewed Hakim about on-going U.S. military occupation in Afghanistan.  “If we don’t address the agreements that the U.S. and Australian governments and other governments are making for a long-term war strategy in Afghanistan,” Hakim observed, “we are heading for an increase in violence in this part of the world, in South Asia, perhaps perpetual war, more serious than the Kabul attacks.”

Analysts could better understand patterns of life in Afghanistan by mixing with Afghans in their homes and along their streets, unarmed.

The analysts would spend less tax-payer money but possibly obtain a genuine perspective on everyday life in Afghanistan. If they interacted with Afghan people instead of surveying them from the air, they’d be better equipped to study ‘terrorism,’their supposed intent.

What if U.S. analysts could feel the frustration Afghans feel as convoys of trucks bearing fuel and food for U.S. soldiers drive past squalid refugee camps where children have starved and frozen to death (250 die of starvation every day; 40 froze to death since January, 2012 ).

Hakim again: “They would understand quickly, even through cursory study by one ‘non-analyst,’ that Afghans are just as infuriated by U.S. soldiers urinating on corpses as U.S citizens are by their own police pepper-spraying college students.

They would understand that just as U.S. citizens can’t even imagine living under the barrel of the Mexican army, Afghan citizens, including of course those labelled ‘insurgents’, dislike foreign guns. No number of Special Ops forces staying on perpetually beyond 2014 can make Afghans like foreign guns. This is what the U.S. Afghan Strategic Partnership War Agreement will do with at least 4 billion U.S. tax payer dollars a year spent just on Afghan security forces.”

16 year old Ali understands that the agreement being readied for the NATO summit won’t accomplish foreign troop withdrawal. This creates what for some is deadly distrust. Ali knows that a long-term foreign military means that the firing and killing will continue.  “It’s tit-for-tat,” says Hakim, “U.S. soldier-for-Talib, dollars-for-rupees, and all those insensible human decisions that would occasionally make Ali cry.  But, the military and militant apparatus does not have human ears. It has bombs. So, when the recent Kabul attacks were going on, as seen in the very human moments in the video clip, the Afghan youth crouching in the refuge of a room were assured and delighted to hear from Voices activists, from across the miles, calling to ask how they were.

‘Ah! Someone cares. Someone listens,’

The monthly Global Days of Listening conversations which the youth have had with ordinary U.S., European, Middle Eastern and Australian citizens have helped change their lives person-to-person, overcoming the cold impersonal ‘shoosh’ of overhead rockets and under-running bloodshed.

Every day, Ghulam studies, cooks, washes the dishes and lives, very normally. But some nights, in the stupor of nightmares, Ghulam shouts subconsciously, out of ear-range to the million-dollar intelligence spies, ‘What kind of world is this that still insists on signing war agreements?

Among the seven agreements made by Gen Musharraf with Washington in September 2001, free passage of NATO containers from Karachi Port to Afghanistan via Torkham and Chaman and also air supplies were included. But for the supply routes, the ISAF couldn’t have sustained war on terror in Afghanistan and also conducted covert war against Pakistan for such a long period. In spite of free flow of massive supplies plying daily, the ISAF started sinking into the quagmire of Afghanistan because of stiff resistance put up by Mullah Omar led Taliban and al-Qaeda from 2008 onwards enabling them to make southern and eastern Afghanistan into their strongholds and pushing ISAF on the back foot.

Troop surges made by USA failed to contain resurgence of the Taliban. From 2010 onward, battle casualties and cases of mental disorders and indiscipline of ISAF rose sharply. Critical security situation in Afghanistan coupled with mounting domestic pressure to bring home US troops, growing unpopularity of the war, downslide in economy and 2012 as election year impelled Obama to announce drawdown plan, starting July 2011 and finishing by end December 2014. He directed Pentagon to expedite training of Afghan Army and Police so that security duties could be handed over to them. He also directed his political section to establish contacts with Taliban and work out a negotiated political settlement. Efforts were made to befriend Taliban leaders and convince them to get detached from al-Qaeda which had been the principle source of their woes.

Hamid Karzai, his half-brother Wali Karzai and Burhanuddin Rabbani were also encouraged to play their part to woo as many Taliban leaders. They might have succeeded in convincing Taliban Shura to accept Karzai’s offer of preferring peace over violence and sharing power with Northern Alliance. However, America’s three conditions of renouncing violence, severing ties with al-Qaeda and accepting US drafted western model democracy impeded reconciliation efforts. Opening of backdoor secret channels to induce and bribe moderate as well as hard line Taliban leaders with a view to isolating Mullah Omar were other factors which made the Taliban wary. In other words, the spoilers hypocritically worked on the strategy of dividing the Taliban to weaken them and then negotiating from position of strength. The military hawks didn’t sheathe the military prong since they felt that without using this instrument they may not be able to achieve their objective.

Meetings of Taliban with US officials were held twice in Munich and once in Doha between November 2010 and May 2011. UNSC separated the ‘1267’ joint list of names of members of al-Qaeda and Taliban as a move to win over Taliban. Process of reconciliation suffered a setback after military targets in Wardak and Kabul were struck and Burhanuddin murdered by Taliban in September 2011. Flummoxed by the ever growing power of Taliban and not knowing how to contain it, spin doctors of ISAF started fabricating excuses to hide poor performance of US military. The US gave vent to its enragement by throwing the blame at the doorsteps of Pakistan and making it the scapegoat. From 22 September onward, the US officials kept firing salvos at Pakistan relentlessly and also stepped up their efforts to woo the Taliban. The breakthrough achieved in Doha retarded as a consequence to series of events taking place in Afghanistan in first quarter of 2012. Acceleration of night raids together with incident of burning of copies of Quran in Baghram base and killing spree of Sergeant Bales heightened anti-Americanism and impelled the Taliban to discontinue negotiations. Multiple attacks in Kabul on April 15 were retaliatory acts.

Strains in Pak-US relations had started appearing from 2010 onwards because of hawkish behavior of the US officials, their never ending do more mantra, leveling of baseless allegations against Pakistan and propaganda campaign by US-Western media. Relations became frostier after Raymond Davis episode, Abbottabad assault and Mike Mullen’s invectives after Kabul attacks by Taliban, but broke down after unprovoked attack by NATO helicopters at Salala on 26 November. America’s ever growing involvement in internal affairs, presence of Blackwater, Dyncorps and CIA network, drone war and its heavy leaning towards India in disregard of Pakistan’s security concerns and appeasement policy of our rulers had make the people highly resentful. Accumulated pent up ill-will made the rupture imminent and call for severing relations with USA and terminating US sponsored war on terror became louder.

Mounting public anger and Army’s pressure compelled the government to hesitatingly take tough measures so as to curb America’s unbridled intrusions. It also set up a Parliamentary Committee on National Security to revise terms of engagement with the US, NATO and ISAF. Of all the measures taken by Pakistan, closure of NATO supplies hurt ISAF the most since it affects its operational efficiency and also CIA led covert war against Pakistan. Instead of mollifying Pakistan by offering an apology and promising compensation to the families of victims, the US behaved snobbishly. It refused to offer apology over Salala massacre and held Pakistan equally responsible. The US was confident that because of precarious socio-politico-economic situation, Pakistan would soon cave in and go back to business as usual. It was sure that the appointed Committee would make recommendations favoring USA. This crude response further vitiated the atmosphere and hardened the stance of Pakistan.

Unlike the poor track record of outcome of parliamentary committees, the Parliamentary Committee under Senator Rabbani worked hard and made further revisions in recommendations because of opposition’s objections. It put up its report to the Parliament containing several well-measured recommendations for debate and decision. Washington eagerly waited for the resumption of supply routes but gave no assurance that drone strikes would stop, or promised that no further unilateral attacks would be undertaken. On the contrary Obama and visiting US official Thomas Nides gave veiled warnings that Pakistan must remain mindful of US security needs. The government which was all set to give a green signal to appease the US had to apply brakes in the wake of intense public protests. The religious forces insist that opening of supplies should be made conditional to cessation of drone attacks and release of Aafia Siddiqui. Taliban from both sides of the border have also asked Islamabad not to feed the killers in Afghanistan. Difa-e-Pakistan Council and Fazlur Rahman warned that supply roads will be physically blocked if the government permits NATO containers to ply.

Finding himself cornered, the PM took the matter to the DCC with a hope of obtaining a favorable decision, but the DCC wisely decided to defer resumption of NATO supplies because of the outrage of the people. The principled democratic course adopted by the government to deal with issues of national importance is encouraging. Skeptics however say that the decision to restore supply lines for NATO has already been taken and will be announced before Chicago meeting next month which will be attended by Zardari. The President and PM must not forget the fact that great majority oppose reopening of transit facility for the ISAF whose intelligence agencies are involved in clandestine operations against Pakistan. Blow back may be severe. Policy makers must also recognize the hard reality that Pak-US interests are at variance and not in congruence and must therefore stop chasing rainbows that the US would treat Pakistan and its sovereignty with respect. We must not forget that the US nurtures sinister designs against our nuclear program. What is needed is to help the ISAF in extricating 130,000 troops, 70,000 vehicles and 120,000 containers via Pakistan’s land routes rather than reinforcing the ISAF and saboteurs and thus adding to the woes of people of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“ACCIDENTED” NORTH KOREAN MISSILE LAUNCH, A VIOLATION OF AN UNDERSTANDING WITH THE US

Iran and North Korea Negotiations, Sources Well Above Top Secret

 by  Gordon Duff, Senior Editor

Not a couple of things first.  VT posted the first proven UFO video ever.  We were given full access to analysis of others, all CGI or worse. 

The real one is from Korea, April 7, and is of import.  That the mainstream news and others never bothered to note what we published amuses the hell out of me.

As a side note, these aren’t the only films analyzed. We proved an American built UFO capable of over 16,000 mph in low atmosphere is real.  We also have hard info many other things are CGI.

Almost everything seen on television on 9/11 had a CGI aspect to it, was a “cartoon.”  However, as I am not authorized to divulge beyond this, let your imagination run wild.

Brzezinski from January, touching on issues coming online now:

YouTube – Veterans Today -

You will be underestimating the truth.

In fact, half our news is computer generated, it almost isn’t worth watching anymore.  Let us leave it at that.

As for what is considered “hard Intel” today:

I have received from unofficial, read “very official” sources that, after the US decided to back out of its food deal with North Korea, that it and Iran came to an agreement.

Thus, a major national intelligence agency says that there is an agreement in place to transfer enough uranium hexafloride gas to Iran for them to build a nuclear weapon.

I am told that this is not part of a “new bomb” program but to refurbish older weapons of uncertain origin, maybe Ukraine, maybe US weapons lost off Somalia.

I am not saying this is true but I am saying it is believed, which is worse.

This would give Iran a nuclear capability in weeks.

[Editors Note: Our own nuclear reprocessing and weapons expert, Clinton Bastin has always disputed that getting one's hands on 20% gas is not a quick step to anything. Converting it to weapons grade levels is a process the took huge resources and a lot of time for us to master. If done incorrectly you can have a disaster.

And then converting to metal form and into a weapon on a delivery system another whole new set of challenges, where you can blow the place up.

If whatever Korea would be sending them to be a several week game changer, it is not the gas. It may be a cover story for something else that is actually being sent that was not revealed. Welcome to that world.

And trying to work on an old weapon and defeat it's fail safe tampering engineering...well that is a job you give to someone ahead of you for a promotion, or to whom you owe a lot of money...JD]

Other information from months ago indicated that Iran had 6 old and now learned to be unserviceable 550kt Soviet thermonuclear warheads which they purchased with an equally unserviced SS 19 missile, probably delivered in February 2002.

This other nation, a major NATO power, claims they also have older American warheads and hope to refurbish them quickly with North Korea’s help.

Their purpose, it is believed, is to forestall an Israeli attack.  I have no idea if any of this is deliverable or not.

Dimona is, we are told, the likely target for a huge thermonuclear weapon.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

All of this is from sources that are highly respected and very likely to have an agenda of their own.The Israelis recently released interviews with their Iran strike pilots, very colorful ones, so this new info may be part of the psy ops battle going on here.

And as Ziggy said above, fear and uncertainty could trigger an event that was not planned. So this has the whiff of ‘game war theory’, and the Israelis claim to be the best at it, although the public relations disaster on how they handled the ‘Flytilla’ would beggar that.

It is my belief that the current issues are more tied to oil price speculation but as Iran is being put under sanctions that keep them from using oil revenue, their deal with Israel is breaking up.

This means there could really be a war because President Obama wasn’t adequately briefed in on the oil price game.  He is going after oil companies when oil speculation is being handled by futures traders more than speculators, traders who are capable of maneuvering the Israeli government to attack Iran.

What I have to leave you with here is this:  I write the news, I report it, I don’t invent it.  I am simply reporting what I am told and what I believe reasonable.

What I am told to report, and I very much mean “told” is that there has been as severe escalation in tensions tied to the ending of the food deal with North Korea, the “possible” destruction of their rocket by “whatever” and an active deal to transfer material somehow to Iran without IAEA oversight.

I can also say that the organization I am getting information from has been both right and wrong and is subject to influence from Israel.
