"You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." ~ CIA operative discussing with Philip Graham, editor Washington Post, on the availability and prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories. Katherine the Great, by Deborah Davis (New York: Sheridan Square Press, 1991)

This is a perfect saying if I see the present coverage of “War against Terrorism” on world’s media. If you tell a lie a hundred times, it becomes the truth (Goebells) and this is what the media is doing: blaming those who are the victims themselves and praising those who are the real culprits. The media has become nothing more than a propaganda mouthpiece and mass producers of distortion. An industry whose task should be to filter out falsehood has become a conduit for propaganda and second hand news. The errors have been so huge to be laughable if this isn’t such a serious business, or if there isn’t any chance they are doing it on purpose!

This dual nature and clear deception pushed my heart to come out and at least call a spade a spade. Especially I would be uncovering the unseen side of the picture related to the perception of Pakistan and its ‘victimization’ in the so called War against Terror. It hurts when you see your home country taking all the blame for something, which she never committed. It hurts when you see international conspiracies to destabilize, disintegrate and ultimately denuclearize your homeland happening under the blankets of one drama after another. It really hurts, it hurts a lot!

“To me, I confess, [countries] are pieces on a chessboard upon which is being played out a game for dominion of the world.” Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, speaking about Afghanistan, 1898

However this does not imply that Pakistan has never committed any sin. I’m equally critical of Pakistan’s corrupt politicians and their known unpatriotism. Their only goal is to loot the wealth of the nation, accumulate their bank reserves and ostensibly sustain themselves in power. The governments are mostly the puppet regimes, which do not have the ability to come out of their closet. But all this does not justify blaming her for the deeds for which she is not at all responsible.

I’ve discussed various stories on this page to prove the above statement, which can be summarized as follows:

Summary of the page:

•    There were growing indications that, ever since Islamabad joined Washington’s regional plans, Pakistan was gradually turning into a ‘besieged-nation’, heavily targeted by the American media while being subjected to strategic sabotage and espionage from Afghanistan. Afghanistan, under America’s watch, has turned into a vast staging ground for sophisticated psychological and military operations to destabilize neighboring Pakistan. Saboteurs trained in Afghanistan have been inserted into Pakistan to aggravate extremist passions here, especially after the Red Mosque operation. Chinese citizens continue to be targeted by individuals pretending to be Islamists, when no known Islamic group has claimed responsibility. A succession of ‘religious rebels’ with suspicious foreign links have suddenly emerged in Pakistan over the past months claiming to be ‘Pakistani Taliban’. Money and weapons have been fed into the religious movements and Al Qaeda remnants in the tribal areas.

•    The fact of the matter is that local Pakistani Taliban like Baitullah Mehsud or his likes are only fighting the state of Pakistan and NOT the Americans inside Afghanistan. In fact, there is clear evidence to suggest that US and India are actually patronizing and protecting these terrorist assets operating against state of Pakistan. Also, these local Taliban or their allies are no threat to US or its allies anywhere in the world. So, why is US so keen to force Pakistan into a bloody war inside its own tribal areas? The reason is obvious – it is another chapter in CIA's dirty war to create enough anarchy in Pakistan to justify its case against Pakistan's nuke assets

•    The tragedy is the dual face of Pakistan’s own media, journalists, human rights associations (NGOs) and politicians. Corruption and integrity of Pakistani politicians is well known. However there are also growing indications that some of the TV anchors, journalists, and people representing various NGOs are also being patronized by outside forces to fulfill their agenda to create disinformation among ordinary public. On one hand our greedy politicians are just engrossed to sustain themselves in the power corridors, the media on the other hand is endeavoring to create rift between the people of Pakistan and Pakistan’s army to serve the vested interests of outside forces without having an iota of sincerity for the country. When Pakistan army was operating against the ‘Pakistani Taliban’ (brand name representing the terrorists injected through Afghanistan and NOT the real Taliban), the media was shouting that military is killing its own people and when the politicians intervened to sign a peace agreement with the local people so that they flush out the militants through peaceful means, the media as well as the dubious NGOs raised hue and cry that it was not a peace deal but a surrender by Pakistani military. The objective is crystal clear. Make people of Pakistan start abhorring their military so that they get dispersed and would be easier to swallow.

Believe me or not, I've more Indian friends than any other nationality. There is no reason to have enmity against innocent citizens. I'm always a strong advocate of peace, tranquility, freedom, equality of all and right to human dignity. But in every society there are warmongers and hate lovers that want to hijack peace. As much as it hurts me seeing innocent civilians being massacred in Mumbai attacks, the magnitude of the pain is the same if not more to witness Pakistan getting the entire share in the blame cake, when Pakistan is not at all responsible for this drama. Yes a drama cum foul game, which in the end turned out to be very badly camouflaged. Following notable events and occurrences that unfolded during the entire episode forced me to think it was a ‘drama’ and an ‘inside job’.

•   It's really intriguing that only days ago, for the first time, the reach and influence of indigenous Indian terror groups was being registered for the first time, with the arrest of two serving senior Indian army officers with links to Hindu terror groups involved in major terrorism acts; acts that were blamed on Muslims.  Something had to be done to divert the attention of the world and Indian public from acts of terrorism by Hindu Hardliners. Then comes the Mumbai Massacre, too sophisticated for any foreigner to execute without massive facilitation and support base. Read “Crisis May Shift India’s Political Landscape” by Somini Sengupta (Indian author) at New York Times

•    In the very first hours of the Mumbai attack, the unknown terrorists were able to achieve a singular feat: the targeted murder of Hemant Karkare, the chief anti terrorism officer in the Indian police. The man was responsible for exposing the secret links between the Indian military and Hindu terror groups.  His investigation resulted in uncovering the involvement of three Indian military intelligence officers in terrorist acts that were blamed on Muslim groups.  At the time of his murder, Karkare was pursuing leads that were supposed to uncover the depth of the nexus between the Indian military and the sudden rise of well armed and well financed Hindu terrorism groups with their wide network of militant training camps across India. Why should so called ‘Islamic Militants from Pakistan’ want to kill the guy who is exposing the link between the Indian military and Hindu terror groups? Read "Signs Of An Attempted Coup In New Delhi" by Ahmed Quraishi or “Crisis May Shift India’s Political Landscape” by Somini Sengupta (Indian author) at New York Times

•   Why Hemant Karakare’s wife declined the compensation offer from the government? Read ExpressIndia News

•   Allegedly Muslim terrorists have left behind an ID card and a cell phone with a SIM card originating in a 'neighboring' country [Pakistan]. How convenient. They should have checked better since they could have also found an ISI staff card on one of the dead terrorists.

•    Evidence being deliberately ignored - Has anyone noticed one of terrorist wearing read/orange band around his wrist? Tying a red thread or cord around the wrist is a Hindu practice and it is unlikely a Muslim, especially one politicized enough to carry out an attack such as this, would observe it. I think this provides more evidence that this was a false flag operation or at least an attack by a non-Muslim group. Why would a “fundamentalist Muslim” who is willing to “wage war against the infidels” wear a bangle that purely represents extremist Hindu ideology and beliefs? Source

•    Additionally, the terrorists inside the Nariman House Building were reported to have stocked up on supplies on Wednesday evening, buying not just food items but liquor, among other things, from a local store. Again, it is highly unlikely that a Muslim, let alone a ‘Mujahid’, and especially one politicized enough to carry out such an attack, would consume liquor in normal life, let alone hours before his inevitable ‘martyrdom’. Read SHTUREM or BBC news. BBC writes: “Locals say the orgy of killings in Mumbai began here. Three men walked into the cafe, drank beer, settled their bills and walked out. Then they fished out guns from their bags and began firing”. 
  BBC further narrates: "They did not look Indian, they looked foreign. One of them, I thought, had blonde hair. The other had a punkish hairstyle. They were neatly dressed." says Gaffar Abdul Amir, an Iraqi tourist from Baghdad.

•    How did “people who sailed from Karachi” come to know about the exact whereabouts of the city and especially the layout of the hotel premises? Employees of the Taj Hotel have said that the way in which the terrorists rioted through the whole building was amazing. One of them even said that “They know the place better than us or for that matter, even the Manager himself!” Source Pakistan Daily or Pak Alert

•   The next day of the drama - the beneficiaries of all these events, the Hindu right-wing extremist parties such as the BJP, RSS, Vishwa Prashad, etc. get more active in fostering anti-Pakistan, anti-Muslim sentiments among Hindu nationals. The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) played the forefront role, it even had highly-sentimental nationalistic and anti-Pakistan, anti-Muslim statements and banners printed in various leading Indian newspapers and magazines. All this seems to have benefited them a lot. Obviously, the Indian media and the Global Eye before were focused towards some of their members infiltrating the Indian Army’s hierarchy and infusing racist ideologies in them. They got the perfect chance to “turn the tables over”. Read "Beneficiary of Mumbai Bombings: Indian Army or BJP?" by The London Post

•    One Indian channel went as far as broadcasting “real time videos” of a particular “Rehman chacha” (Rehman uncle) hailing from Faridkot district, Pakistan. Reportedly, the attackers had called him from their SIMs and taken further instructions. This is indeed applaudable, for one of the largest news channels in Pakistan, Express News, did extensive thorough findings in search of this person and found out there wasn’t anyone with such a name who ever belonged to Faridkot. The Indian Government then again changed her statement and said it was a particular “Amir Jamal” from Faridkot. Again, the Express News team went on research and found out that this very man had died 3 years ago. His own kin related the event to the news team. Now the Indian Government is saying it was a particular “Amir Kasab”. Read Pakistan Daily

•   The disclosure by a Pakistani lawyer C. M. Farooque that many people including Ajmal Kasab were apprehended by the Nepalese authorities in early 2006 and transferred to India for interrogation by the Indian intelligence agencies has once again raised the issue of the clandestine detention of foreign nationals in India and their use as clay pigeons in fake encounters to conduct coercive diplomacy against Pakistan. Ajmal Kasab is the only ‘survivor’ from among the nine attackers who held Mumbai to ransom from 26 Nov and 29 Nov, killing 170 and injuring hundreds and forms the pivot of the Indian argument that terrorism emanating from Pakistan constitutes a casus belli that merits a punitive action against Pakistan.

•    Even when the shootings were going on in hotels, Indian media and army were blaming Pakistan for the attacks. The game is clear and sinister. The Indian Intelligence have diverted the global attention towards another issue where they would blame Pakistan for this slaughter and use Barack Obama's doctrine of attacks on Pakistan to encircle Pakistan from both sides.

•   There are close to 100 groups in India, of all shades, fighting the Indian state and people, including Hindu terrorist groups. India should get its own house in order before blaming 'neighbors'. This coming from a country where close to 600 Christians were killed just a couple of months back by Hindu groups, and 2500 Indian Muslims were burned alive in the 21st century's first incident of genocide, in 2002 and where Kashmiri, Dalit, and other minority women are raped everyday as part of Hindu religious oppression. The patriotic Indians should stop the secular warmongers and Hindu militants from hijacking their country. The future of the entire region depends on it.
