The anatomy of Pakistan's crisis

The present crisis in Pakistan is not a simple case of democratic forces fighting against an oppressive military dictator as it is being commonly portrayed – or misconstrued; it is actually the crisis of the very body and soul of the criminal state entity called Pakistan. The fact is that the contradictions between the various components of Pakistan’s Western assisted and assembled gangster-style establishment setup, its elites and other political groupings (plus the “postmodern non-state social stakeholders” and “actors”) have now reached a critical level of contention. They are all an assorted motley of vicious mafias, banding thugs, looters and rascals of all shades out to get and outdo each other brutally without mercy or concession. To name them in order of importance: the military, the bureaucracy, the judiciary, the politicians, the mullahs, the “businessmen”, the “civil society”, the lawyers and the journalists. We have amply witnessed the work and acts of each of these and we know what skeletons they hide in their cupboards, and their filthy linen.

The reason for the fight now is that it is just one group, the army – albeit the main one, that is out to dominate and curtail the power of the others. To be fair enough, Pakistan has always belonged to its military, as it is only the army (given its relatively superior capabilities, making it the main British Imperial successor institution in Pakistan) that has succeeded in keeping this criminal, turbulent enterprise together and going – so far. Be that as it may, the Punjabi-dominated army’s main victory was in its Western sponsored Afghan “Jihad” in which the Punjabis exacted a historical revenge on their Afghan rivals. As a result, most of the army now comprises of officers and troops indoctrinated in Islamic fanaticism. Pakistan’s Islamic “ideology” was hypocritically used to justify Pakistan’s ill-intentioned formation and existence in the first place, but it is now that ideology which has (unwittingly) assumed real proportions and has turned on its dissolute creators (and their US patrons) and is waiting to replace them after they die of their self-inflicted illness of corruption.

Of the main political groups now allied against General Musharraf and his army, we have seen the performance of the two main opposition “parties” twice each, gangs of hungry brutes and their hangers-on, who in the last 15 years took power through the “ballot” and then wiped this country clean of its money and public property, while introducing thuggish feudal-style patronage and misrule. In fact it was the last such government which Musharraf overthrew in 1999, that had through its corruption brought the country to the brink of collapse. His excuse for this was to save Pakistan. Musharraf can be said to have delayed this collapse by 8 years, but he did nothing to rectify it even though he had the chance. Perhaps he couldn’t, given his own character and the typical constraints he had to work within – limitations that are rooted in Pakistan’s very culture and stipulated character, which have now led to its failure. Musharraf is after all, as Pakistani as “Miss” Benazir Bhutto (actually Mrs. Benazir Zardari) who is notorious as being the most corrupt Pakistani politician.

The other main rival of Musharraf is the Pakistani “legal fraternity”. Its vanguard leadership of opposition to military rule is unprecedented both in its severity as well as historically. But the Pakistani judiciary has always been stinkingly corrupt, and the lawyers are its cohorts in this. The recently dismissed arch rival of President Musharraf, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, is no exception.

And what about the other rivals, the “civil society” and its NGOs? This is the post-cold war American globalist order’s contribution to this mess. Before that, the nonsensically misused term civil society was not even known to Pakistan’s so-called intellectuals, who now drop it fashionably after every few words of conversation. It includes those who have no place in the “official” scheme of things, but who contend with the established officialdom to wield an equal if not greater parallel “unofficial” influence on society. It is a significant contributor to chaotic conditions in what is already a jungle. It groups lawyers, journalists, women’s organisations, “liberals” and other lobbies – in short any aspirants who wish to wear the label of some sort of “cause” as an excuse to grind their nefarious axes, to peddle influence and grub easy fund-money by the ton-load.

This motley of various contenders on the Pakistani scene are all criminal and were till now “in it” together, except that they have now fatally fallen out with each other....and thus there is now no hope for their being able to reconcile and continue with their past mischief the way they once did. Not one of them is wont to acknowledge the truth about why things are the way they are in their society – or indeed the world at large.

At the extreme end of this sordid spectrum of Pakistani power stand the renegade Jihadi fanatics typified by the Pashtun Taliban, who are now truly alienated from its mainstream and can be said to be only the genuine rivals of Pakistan’s traditional criminal power structure – waiting for it to fail and crumble so that they can take its place. There is therefore no hope to be seen anywhere in this dark, confounding situation as it spirals downward.

The end of the West and its imperfect modrrnism has now begun

The West's time has finally run out. It has reached its Point-of-No-Return. It has dumped its historic chance and fated role. Its populations were kept sedated on the fantasy ideals of democratic liberalism and hyper-consumerist "living standards", while its elites thought that they could keep on upholding this dreamworld state of affairs by collaring the rest of the world's natural resources for their own exclusive gluttonous use - and that their subordinate westernised sidekick elites in the backward "Third World" parts of the globe would help insulate this prosperous and sedated dreamworld from the highly unpleasant realities of the dangerous dysfunctionality and jealous aggression of their backward Islamic cousins, whom the West had a DUTY to reform - by force and terror, if need be. This "unpleasant" duty of regenerating the backward ones was the primary global responsibility of "Western" civilisation. (Ironically, their Victorian predecessors were more conversant with it, in their concept of "the white man's burden", but they didn't have the capabilities of carrying it out that we now do). But the chance for that is gone....instead, the dastadly neocolonial edifice they fashioned after WW2 to defend their unfair interests in these areas is now imploding under its own failure all over the globe, principally in Pakistan and the Gulf Arab states which is where the key dogs and lackeys of Anglo-US imperialism are placed. And the main modern energy resource of Petroleum is diminishing after 60 years' of misuse, the planet and its climate have been poisoned, the overblown capitalist financial systems and their credit based economies are also starting to give way.....and the backward and defunct Islamic civilisations have now been dangerously corrupted beyond any hope of regeneration and must be destroyed wholly in order to guarantee the future of mankind. As it falls, the West will now be made to come face to face with the consequences of its criminal default on its historical responsibility, and will also be made to face the punishment for doing this. Them and their outlandish ideals of "freedom" will soon be trampled underfoot and consumed by the fire of a war far greater than any in history. Just like a condemned Chinese criminal being executed, they will be brought to their knees before the soldier-executioner fires the shot to the back of their head.

Shades of 1996

In the barely three weeks since my last post on this blog, the (Pakistani Pashtun) Taliban have taken over both the important Swat and Shangla Districts, of N.W.F.P. This reminds one of 1996 when we were regaled regularly with news updates like: "Jalalabad falls to the rapidly advancing Taliban..." and "Kabul finally falls to the Taliban..." Now they are HERE, at last: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excuse my laugh, folks. It is indeed funny to see that the shit has hit the fan, and Pakistanis are bad losers indeed! Their Punjabi and Punjabified Pashtun army generals must be soiling their pants with their spicy excrement, as they contemplate their fate. They never thought "it" would happen to them. They always thought that come what may, they would always "have it going" for them.... Some of their renegade comrades are no doubt behind these recent Jihadi gains. The style of the takeovers is the same, but unlike Afghanistan it is unlikely that - except for the Pashtun lands - all of Pakistan will fall to them, but even those areas are enough, for Pakistan will cease to exist per se when they are captured. The police and administrations are abandoning towns and villages in these areas en masse and without resistance - just as had happened in Afghanistan in the mid-90s; Pakistani flags are being cast down and replaced with the Taliban's "pure" white banner; the nervous Americans are seen overflying Peshawar and the other areas regularly with their P-3C Orion spy planes, not that this will do them much good. And elites always seem to suffer from a strange historical disease when their end is nigh: here in Peshawar's dust and soot laden air where it hasn't rained for two months, the typically extravagant Indian style Pashtun weddings and drunken revelries pervade the local "Islamic" elite's activities with gusto; perhaps they want to "go out" with a "bang", you know. And as usual, "civilised"people are more concerned with irrelevant issues like Pakistan's so-called "State of Emergency" rule. Discussing rubbish like this is like a welcome escape from the approaching storm on the horizon. As Pakistan and its corrupt establishment dodder in their final swoon, people are instead "elaborately" and most "educatedly" engaged in analysing the latest bark of one corrupt politician dog against the other in the general melee of the collapsing old order. TV channels and digital decoders have been banned under Musharraf's "Emergency" to make the end more palatable. Ah well, can't do anything about that folks, tragic as it is indeed....

PASHTUNS POSE A THREAT TO ALL – INCLUDING THE FINAL WESTERN MANOUVRES TO SAVE NEOCOLONIALISM

One thing is now certain. Pakistan has this year clearly entered the final leg of its permanent decline and the results can be expected as early as the beginning of next year. Pakistan has always been hard to justify in an ethnic, cultural and historical context; it is a quirk of history that has its twisted roots in the nature of turbulence of the “interface” between Central Asia and subcontinental India. But whatever it was, during its 60 years so far, it has served one purpose amicably well and that was serving the key post-colonial regional designs of its Anglo-American imperialist mentors. But it now seems that both the imperialists and their Taliban enemies may be rethinking Pakistan. Both had wanted to retain it united, but because of its internal systemic deterioration, and because the lines are being drawn for a multifaceted civil war, retaining Pakistan in a single piece may not be possible no matter what some may want.

The US has had consistent trouble with Pakistan since the unravelling of its post WW2 neo-colonial scheme began with 9/11 in late 2001, more so now as Pakistan’s eroded, Islamofascist gangster state and corrupt polity headed by its comprador Anglo-toady military, bureaucratic and political elite factions and classes is failing because its financial decrepitude (brought on by decades of plunder, misrule and mismanagement) and the internal group feuding and contradictions between contending factions in its mafia style power structures have finally reached critical mass. The West is seeking to change its Islamofascist aspect into an “Islamodemocratic” one, of which they are convinced Benazir and her PPP are the hallmark. The prospect of damage to Pakistan or its breakup would previously have been a nightmare scenario for the Anglo-American lobby and West, but in the present post-9/11 circumstances a terminally diseased corruption ridden but nuclear armed Pakistan descending into civil conflict and vulnerable to takeover by the oncoming Talibanisation in one of its provinces would be worse, so it might now be a desperate last resort option for the imperialists to facilitate the deliberate dismemberment of its other crucial, non-Talibanised parts so as to achieve the isolation of this influence which is Pashtun in origin – and “salvage” their “secular democratic character”. This could be on the current Western agenda.

The consolidation of the agriculturally important and industrially advanced Indian ethnic Punjab and Sindh (which I refer to combined as “Indian Rump Pakistan”) would be central to such a strategy and would pose no problem to it as those areas are ever willing to submit to US dictates – which would eventually guide them into rejoining India. The “modern” General Musharraf and his “liberal enlightened civil society”, MQM and newfound “popular” PPP allies would “democratically” ensure it. The West is working feverishly – and with a brash desperate openness heretofore unseen – to try and save the old corrupted neocolonial state arrangements at least in the pliant Indian “Rump” section, by causing the promulgation of the shameless NRO, whereby Musharraf is being made to accommodate Benazir, which arrangement the West thinks will be able to save Pakistan and its system, at least its crucial rump if not all. Though the Taliban elements do operate there when necessary, as seen in isolated events such as Lal Masjid and suicide bombing campaigns, their basis there is not socially sustained as it is in the N.W.F.P. However that doesn’t preclude any possible later developments. Pakistan’s Pashtun-connected Punjabi Islamofascist jihadi lobby is still very much alive, especially in the paramount army. That is why Musharraf is so important to the Western agenda. And Pakistan’s Indian ethnicities are historically know to submit to whoever gains the upper hand. The Northern Area districts of Gilgit-Baltistan may be considered restive as far as their usual political grievances and sectarian characteristics go, but they too otherwise present a picture of docile placidity. The intense and incessant traditional clamour of the Pakistani establishment over its “core policy issue” of Kashmir with India has strangely and very suddenly fallen silent over the past two years; Balochistan is in the grip of a determined separatist insurgency, but the sole focus of this is to procure its own secular nationalist independence, which is therefore not problematic at all for Western designs in the present situation – it would in fact be a potential ally and beneficiary.

In the meanwhile a traditional so-called “Pashtun nationalist” party called the ANP was recently chosen by the US as its main political tool for “secular” influence in the critical N.W.F.P, and the ANP + PMAP merger/alliance was further effected to this end, the idea being to cover the whole expanse of the “Pashtunkhwa” from Quetta to Dir, but this plan was overtaken and thwarted by the surprising and unexpected turns which the massive Talibanisation process lately took since its start in various forms and developments after 9/11. This upheaval first started in the form of the 2002 MMA electoral victory in the N.W.F.P and then its armed insurgency component took shape in the Waziristan tribal regions from 2003, and by 2007 Talibanism had started to bubble all over the rest of the FATA and settled areas of the province (excluding its Hazara district which is actually ethnic Punjabi). All of Pakistan’s political parties are a proven part of its establishment despite their loud claims to the contrary, and the ANP is no exception and with its vague “manifesto” it and other such parties now stand for very little in Pakistan’s turbulent Pashtun society, the culture of which is the wellspring for the nascent Talibanism, which can be termed as an outlook born of Pashtun culture. The backward looking Pashtuns, who were also former key US protégés in the 1980-90s Afghan Jihad, are presenting the Americans with a headache equal to if not greater than the prospects of the Pakistani system’s continuing decline. It seems that it never occurred to the always clever Americans that these people whom they armed and facilitated so wantonly and lavishly would subject them to more than the kind of terrible deeds for which the US once eulogised the Pashtun Mujahideen, when the Soviets were the victims. Neither did the US know that in laying the foundation of the Taliban in 1994, that they were enabling the birth of yet another paradigm in Pashtun socio-political development (or more correctly degeneration), one that would be the last and most dangerous. The Pashtuns express their extreme nature through their equally extreme religion of Islam, and can be said to constitute the largest criminal society on Earth. Their effects on their Persian and Indian peripheries throughout history have also been negative, and it is indeed this discordant influence upon the timid Punjabi and other North Indian Muslims that led to the so-called “ideology of Pakistan” and its creation. The West is now trying one last political ploy to tackle the Pashtuns within the old Pakistani system, to pacify the N.W.F.P and FATA by constituting “jirga” negotiations via Mullah Fazlur Rahman and his JUI-F party. The reality of the matter has, however, exceeded all such hopes and is now has an advanced momentum of its own – and the Pashtun component of Pakistan is now all but controllable.

The Pashtun Taliban in Pakistan are now a flourishing and autonomous grassroots popular movement in their own right within the rural main of Pashtun society, and are even independent of the control of their original JUI-F mentors. Only the major cities of Peshawar and Mardan in the N.W.F.P are still “free” of them, and that won’t be for long. They are emerging as the future of the Pashtun polity – as the ultimate evolue of the sum total of its socio-political and cultural expression. Over the Durand Line in eastern and southern Afghanistan, it is also the Pashtuns, also in their Taliban shape, who pose the main threat to the US and its plans to pacify that country. Both situations are one and the same, and the future Pashtun “national unity” will be in the form of a short lived jungle of a Taliban emirate and nothing else. (That is in itself enough to logically indicate the eventual fate awaiting the Pashtuns, their society and culture).

Like the corrupt, toady Indian ethnicities of Punjab and Sindh that form Pakistan’s majority, the ease loving, effeminate and wannabe-bourgeois Farsi-speakers of Afghanistan are also ever ready to meekly toe the line of Anglo-American imperialism and make peace with its plans as long as they can enjoy the sensual pleasures of life and money (unlike the feeling of the majority of their Iranian brethren, however).

Pashtuns and the international Al-Qaeda which they nurtured since the Afghan Jihad and continue to do in their homeland – are the main problem for their erstwhile Anglo-American imperial masters. The Pashtuns pose problems not only for their enemies but also for any potential friends and allies they may have – and also for their own good. To them only freedom matters most – and that is the freedom to live delinquently like ruffians and scoundrels, chaotically and lawlessly in the jungle, forever in the shadow of their precious Islamic creed.

Mission Statement

After the collapse of the USSR in 1991 the prospects for the progress and modernising of several Central Asian cultures and other societies under the rotten oppression of Islam vanished. The post-1991 "new world" was America's exclusive domain and playground, and although America is at the head of the world's developed modern cultures and civilisations, its influence on world affairs is pernicious and baleful because it is imperialist in intent and thus its basic interests and motivations are geared towards greed - a policy that will not only nullify all its great technological and cultural achievements, but will also bring the whole world to grief. An early example is how America supported the backward and vicious Islamic Jihad against modernist social progress in Afghanistan and the Soviet Union in the 1980-90s period, and the net results were Al-Qaeda and 9/11. Capitalism is a philosophy of greed and causes debauchery. Because of its interests, America supports shockingly corrupt systems that thrive on social and cultural backwardness in places like Pakistan and Afghanistan. The corruption in Pakistan and its society can find its parallels in Biblical lore. It is the idea of the FSO to reinvigorate the concept of revolution/drastic social change and engineering by a vanguard, single party transitory state in order to improve social, cultural, political and economic conditions in certain areas that need such leaps of progress. This is akin to the Marxist revolutions of the 20th century, and our ideas may resemble many aspects of Marxism, yet they are not doctrinaire Marxist. We also agree with the current trend of "National Bolshevism" in Russia, and it Eurasian outlook. We look to Russia as the future of the world, as it embodies modern European civilisation, which we regard as mankind's future - but in a traditional and preserved condition as compared to the West; Russia also incorporates the Asian element naturally and "seamlessly" into its body-politic, which no "Western" nations have yet been able to achieve, despite their extensive immigration policies; and we consider postmodern, liberal consumerist and "democratic" Western culture to be too easygoing, morally debauched, and too greedy and individualist to have the character needed for the goal of shouldering the massive global responsibility that befalls them to spread and implement European (or modern Eurasian) civilisation throughout the globe in dangerous and backward Eastern societies - especially those of Islam. Liberals, the "politically correct" and "democrats" may not agree with our plans and concepts, but who are they to say so when failure stares them like a wolf in the face? The world is now nearing a critical flashpoint that could destroy everything because of Western folly, and a New Russian based Superstate must arise in Eurasia to tackle this and steer the world into a truly new order paradigm of actual benefit to all. We intend to do that, as the old harmful capitalist post World War II neocolonial Western order led by the Anglo-Americans with its proxy Third World elites now starts to crash helplessly.
