The Middle East we must confront in the future will be a Mafiastan ruled by money

In Iraq, mafiosi already run almost the entire oil output of the south of the country

Saudi Arabia is giving $3bn – yes, £2bn, and now let’s have done with exchange rates – to the Pakistani government of Nawaz Sharif. But what is it for? Pakistani journalists have been told not to ask this question. Then, when they persisted, they were told that Saudi generosity towards their fellow Sunni Muslim brothers emerged from the “personal links” between the Prime Minister and the monarchy in Riyadh. Saudi notables have been arriving in Islamabad. Sharif and his army chief of staff have travelled to the Kingdom. Then Islamabad started talking about a “transitional government” for Syria – even though Pakistan had hitherto supported President Bashar al-Assad – because, as journalist Najam Sethi wrote from Lahore, “we know only too well that in matters of diplomatic relations there is no such thing as a gift, still less one of this size”.

 Now the word in Pakistan is that its government has agreed to supply Saudi Arabia with an arsenal of anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, which will be passed on – despite the usual end-user certificates claiming these weapons will be used only on Saudi soil – to the Salafist rebels in Syria fighting to overthrow the secular, Ba’athist (and yes, ruthless) regime of Bashar al-Assad. The American in other

words, will no longer use their rat-run of weapons from Libya to the Syrian insurgents because they no longer see it as in their interest to change the Assad government. Iraq, with its Shia majority, and Qatar – which now loathes and fears Saudi Arabia more than it detests Assad – can no longer be counted on to hold the Shias at bay. So even Bahrain must be enlisted in the Saudi-Salafist cause; his Royal Highness the King of Bahrain needs more Pakistani mercenaries in his army; so Bahrain, too – according to Najam Sethi – is preparing to invest in Pakistan.

But this is merely a reflection of a far larger movie, a Cinemascope picture with a cast of billions – I’m talking about dollars – which is now consuming the Middle East. It’s a story that doesn’t find favour with the mountebank “experts” on the cable channels nor with their White House/Pentagon scriptwriters, nor indeed with our own beloved Home Secretary who still believes that British Muslims will be “radicalised” if they fight in Syria. Sorry, m’deario, but they were already radicalised. THAT’S WHY THEY WENT TO SYRIA.

But the Taliban is no more going to take over Afghanistan than al-Qa’ida is going to rule Syria or Iraq, nor the Muslim Brotherhood Egypt. “Islamism” is not about to turn our beloved Arab and Muslim Middle Eastern world into a caliphate. That’s for The New York Times to believe.

Let’s just take a look across the region. Corruption in Afghanistan is not just legendary. This is a place where governance, law, electoral rules, tribal ritual and military affairs function only with massive bribes. It rivals North Korea in financial dishonesty (according to Transparency International). Remember the Kabul banking scandal that milked $980m (£584m) from the people (from which only $180m – £107m – was ever recovered)?

The Americans funded the Afghan warlords and then the NGOs spread their cash around the country and now, with the US withdrawal imminent – along with that of America’s NATO mercenaries – the Afghan gang bosses are not especially worried about the Taliban. Nor are they particularly concerned about women’s rights. But they are fearful that the dollars will stop flowing. A militia leader with three villas, 10 4x4s and 200 bodyguards has to find money to pay them when the Americans go home. So they will have to turn to drugs, money laundering and weapons smuggling on a massive scale. Pakistan, of course, is there to help.

 Now the word in Pakistan is that its government has agreed to supply Saudi Arabia with an arsenal of anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, which will be passed on – despite the usual end-user certificates claiming these weapons will be used only on Saudi soil – to the Salafist rebels in Syria fighting to overthrow the secular, Ba’athist (and yes, ruthless) regime of Bashar al-Assad. The Americans, in other words, will no longer use their rat-run of weapons from Libya to the Syrian insurgents because they no longer see it as in their interest to change the Assad government.

A militia leader with three villas, 10 4x4s and 200 bodyguards has to find money to pay them when the Americans go home. So they will have to turn to drugs, money laundering and weapons smuggling on a massive scale. 

In Iraq, mafiosi already run the Shia port of Basra and almost the entire oil output of the south of the country. “Institutionalised kleptocracy” was a minister’s definition of al-Maliki’s government. In Syria, the rebels’ fiefdom is run by money mobs. That’s why every hostage has a price, every “Free Syrian Army” retreat – and the word “retreat” must also be placed in quotation marks – must be paid for, by the Syrian government or by the Russians or, most frequently, by the Iranians. The Syrian “civil war” is funded by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, by Libya and by Moscow and Tehran and, when it suits them, by the Americans. We’re so caught up in battlefield losses and war crimes and sarin and barrel bombs that we lose sight of the fact that the Syrian bloodbath – much like the Lebanese bloodbath of 1976-1990 – is underwritten by vast amounts of cash from foreign donors.

Just look at Egypt. The story we are supposed to swallow is that a benevolent if slightly despotic army has saved the country from an Islamist takeover. Just how President Mohamed Morsi – whose grasp of practical governance was about as hopeless as that of your average Egyptian general – was going to turn Egypt into a caliphate was anyone’s guess. Of course, our worthless political leaders – Tony Blair in the lead, naturally – are playing the “Islamist” line for the networks. Egypt was on the path to a medieval Muslim dictatorship, only rescued at the last minute by the defence minister-turned presidential candidate General al-Sisi’s belief in a “transitional government to democracy”.

Yes, the “transitional” road to democracy is all the rage these days. But the real counter-revolution in Egypt was not the overthrow of the pathetic Morsi, but what followed: the army’s re-establishment of its massive financial benefits, its shopping malls and real estates and banking, which bring in billions of dollars for the country’s military elite – and whose business dealings are now constitutionally safe from the prying eyes of any democratically-elected Egyptian government, “transitional” or otherwise. And if al-Sisi is elected the next President of Egypt – O Blessed Thought – woe betide anyone who suggests that the army, which is still the recipient of billions from the US, should clean up its multi-million dollar conglomerates.

All this is to say that the Middle East we must confront in the future – and it will be of our making as surely as the mass slaughter of its people have been primarily our responsibility – will not be a set of vicious caliphates, of Iraqistan or Syriastan or Egyptstan. No, there is one international, all-purpose name which we will be able to bestow upon almost all the states of the region, united as they have never been since the demise of the Ottoman Empire.

We will understand its masters all too well. We shall support them. We shall love them. Our Tony will understand them – Catholicism, after all, has its own history of corruption and the Vatican, as we have learned, has its own gangsters. Our enemy is not – Cameron and Hague, please take note – terror, terror, terror. It is money, money, money. Dirty money.

For the name of this brave new world will be Mafiastan.

Change is desperately needed by Shams Abbas

Change is desperately needed by Shams Abbas

 

 The principle is that, a political party and a television channel with doubtful credentials and loyalties cannot collude to destroy the most important security institutions of Pakistan.

The Armed forces are the backbone of any country. To deride them is an act of treason. To humiliate them is an act of schizophrenic mindset .To make money and gain political power at their expense is an act of Fascist and mafiostic Perversion.
To assault the Armed forces merely to settle past scores and for satisfaction of egos is a dastardly and gravely delinquent manifestation of immature and undeveloped leadership. Such a leadership cannot take the country forward.


One just has to scan the past track record of the current PM who is apparently once again showing signs of psychopathic disorders. Himself a product of Gen Ziaul Haq and Gen Jilani, In the first instance  he targeted Benazir Bhutto.
In the second episode, he targeted Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,  Justice Sajjad Ali Shah just because the CJP was determined to hear Nawaz Sharif’s cases of alleged corruption. Subsequently, under the direction of Nawaz Sharif, the PML-N goons attacked the Supreme Court and  physically humiliated the judges.

Not quite satisfied Nawaz Sharif engaged in quarrels with Gen Asif Nawaz Janjua and later with Gen. Jehangir Karamat,  who had merely proposed the formation of a NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL which had been the need of the hour and is the norm in most countries.

As if this was not enough, instead, of putting a stop to rampant corruption, Nawaz landed himself in a tussle with President Ghulam Ishaq khan,who had earlier advised him to improve governance. Not willing to look inwards and because of his arrogance, the relationship became worse and  could not be resolved.
The  Army at this point of time could have taken over but did not. As a compromise it was decided and both the President and Prime Minister had to go.

In his next tenure, he needlessly criticized the Army for it’s conduct of a tactical cum strategic operation in KARGIL. Rather than exercising good management techniques to understand the dynamics behind the sincerely meant effort to regain the advantage of the heights, lost through the illegal occupation of SIACHIN by India, Nawaz lambasted the COAS and the Army. KARGIL could at best be termed controversial but certainly not completely without underlying professional motivation and compulsion.

Strangely Nawaz Sharif, apologized to Vajpayee and said “We have stabbed you in the back”. India rejoiced .Vajpayee was delighted. Nawaz Sharif overnight became India’s hero .The Army became the VILLAIN. Remains so till today in India.
NS’s utterances vilifying his own Army are a subject of discussion in Indian media till today.

To cap it all; in an act of brazen madness, he ordered the diversion of Gen Musharraf’s plane “ONLY BECA– — USE HE WANTED TO SACK HIM WHILE HE WAS AWAY”. Call it hijacking or by any other name, this was a desperate and unwanted act, seemingly a result of a very inferior, conniving, insecure and visionless person who could easily have achieved the objective In a legally and morally convincing way. He thus stood on a very weak wicket and gave cause for turbulence and dissatisfaction. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by one of the most honest judges  Rehmatullah Jaffery whose integrity remains unquestioned even by Nawaz Sharif himself.

In his current tenure as PM, Nawaz Sharif started off, reasonably well; declaring that he would leave the past behind, he will not be vindictive, he will respect Institutions and so on. People trusted him and voted for him including my own son. Much as we thought that he would, he backtracked.

Even if one were to give him allowance for seeking revenge and having a cause against Gen Musharraf, his responses and attitude in the Hamid Mir case belies logic, rational analysis and justification. His interior minister has done better than him. His brother is meaningfully quiet.

The two KHWAJAS have apparently a profound hold on him and he is falling into the trap laid by warring egoistical maniacs, who want to settle personal scores at the expense of national interest and people’s welfare.

In backing a media channel and allowing his courtiers to bash the Pakistan Armed Forces, in needlessly launching vendetta trials, in trying to dominate, subjugate, coerce and humiliate the Armed forces directly or indirectly through henchmen, he is sowing the seeds of the ultimate discord and division in society.
The people are with the Armed forces. Fortunately the PTI, PML Q, ANP, MQM and even PPP is against the approach adopted by Nawaz and his cronies. Fortunately there are opposing voices within the PML-N. I think there is a need for PML-N  to look inwards. There is a total failure at the top leadership level. The deficiency existed all along but we kep giving concessions thinking that repairs and corrections will be made the next time round. But it is patently clear that Nawaz  Sharif lacks the qualities of head and heart which makes good leaders.

As a shrewd businessman, he is a good wheeler dealer and has compromised with his erstwhile enemy Zardari, but when it comes to the Army (previously it was the judiciary), whether right or wrong, he has an obsession to win.and to be revered, saluted, accepted as the AMEER UL MOMINEEN.  

 It is time to think if this man is Indeed capable to lead a nuclear nation state..
It is time to think that the consequences of his actions whether it is talks with the TTP or alliance with one channel against the Army, can lead to instability and destabilization of the country.


At a time when the Army wants to stay away from politics, this is an  opportunity for an In-house change within the PML-N. Perhaps Shahbaz Sharif at the top could do better. He is a democratically elected leader, generally more intelligent and wiser than his elder brother. Being from the present PML N  dispensation, this could be a way forward.

But is this asking too much from the PML-N?  Is there any visionary in the party leadership to think. A thrice tried Nawaz Sharif has time and again proved to be extremely erratic and destructively rigid.

It is time for change…………

ZIONISTS STEALTH ENCROACHMENT OF PAKISTAN MEDIA – BAN DAVID HAZINSKI ZIONIST MOLE MEDIA ADVISOR & TRAINOR OF GEO FROM PAKISTAN

 

MEDIA WHITEWASH OF HAMID MIR IN PROGRESS: HAMID MIR & GEO & NAJAM SETHI ARE GUILTY OF BEING FOREIGN AGENTS – HIS SECRET CONVERSATIONS AND GEO’S JEW ADVISOR DAVID HAZINSKI

 

 

 

 

 

CIA agent GEO TV & Hamid Mir exposed with comprehensiveproofs! 


Rehman Malik meets Hamid Mir! Who is protecting whom? Who isscratching whose back? Who is loyal and who is not? Over the years, Mr. HamidMir has been associating with various unsavory characters. Mr. Mir has nevercome clean on his own links with David Hasinsky (Principle architect of GEO-TVand VOA, Ex US-Navy “Officer” and AJC member), Casper Weinberger (HonoraryKnight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (‘GBE’) in 198), Al-Qaedaor the ISI or the Army. Geo has strategic links with SkyTV of the UK, CNN,IBN-CNN in India and the Voice of America (VOA). See article on VOA Geoalliance in Pakistan. http://www.usembassy.gov/pakistan/h05111301.html .Its aquarrel among thieves. Former friends have now become enemies! Lets just keepit at that–and lets not blow it out of proportion. Mr. Mir is riding the whitesteed now and is of course playing the game of being more sanctimonious thanthou.

Mr. Rehman Malik is a Zardari loyalist and is responsiblefor him getting into power. Mr. Rehman Malik’s role in the murder of Ms.Benazir Bhutto is yet to be investigated and Geo has done nothing toinvestigate either Shehanshah or Mr. Malik.

Mr. Hamid, despite his recent pretensions was a product ofthe establishment and a product of the ISI and Pakistani Army. As a journalisthe had deep links with the underworld, and was rewarded by allowing him tointerview Osama Bin Laden. In his recent role, he has been very critical of theArmy, the ISI, and the Talibs. At the height of the Bombay crisis, Mr. Mirchallenged the government’s story and tried to show that the Indians were rightand the Pakistanis were wrong. He made a lot of enemies that day.

Why was the notorious David Hazinski (more about thisscoundrel in this article and the one we wrote in 2008) doing at the Geos HQ?At GEO-TV’s main broadcast center in Karachi, Hazinski built a newsroom around24 Mac G4s running Final Cut Pro. News footage is captured with 40 Sony PD150sand 15 PD100s. NewTek Video Toaster 2 systems are used at bureaus in Islamabadand Lahore to switch between the main broadcast center. In addition todesigning a systems approach for GEO-TV, Hazinski helped teach the station’sstaff how to use the equipment and how to produce television news.

Hazinsky is a “US Navy Petty Officer with contacts with theState Department and the American Jewish Committee (AJC).” What are Hazinski’slinks with the VOA? See this

According to (http://www.intelligentmc.com/people.html)“Most recently, he re-designed the central International Broadcast Center forthe Voice of America in Washington and is consulting on new network launchesfor the VOA”. Lets see what else is going on at Geo.

Mr. Mir like the CIA and the US was very pro-Talib, and verypro-Army during the first Afghan Jihad. During the 2nd one, Mr. Mir regularlycriticizes the Pakistan Army and the ISI–similar to the tact taken by the USand the American intelligence agencies. Mir had his reasons for doing that! Mr.Mir challenged the world on exposing him. We just did, and also have writtenextensively on the origins of Geo and the usual suspects were involved in itsbirth, growth, evolution, and monopolization of the Pakistani media. Simplyput, Geo will safeguard its commercial interests and not the interests ofPakistan which it has sworn to uphold. That article was published on this siteseveral years ago when Geo was just starting out–and it wasn’t pretty.

Excerpts from that article are reproduced at the bottom ofthis article.


English: Hamid Mir with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Will Hamid Mir explain his and Geo’s connection of Hazinski?(See details in other article or bottom of this article)

WHO IS DAVID HAZINSKI?

Why did Geo hire a known Neocon for help in content?

Hazinski owns Intelligent Media Consultants, LLC, a company responsible for training the staffs and helping to launch eight television networks around the world, mostly on the sub-continent. These include Aaj Tak and CNN-IBN in India and GEO TV in Pakistan. He has also consulted for broadcasters and publishers such as the Voice of America, Gramedia in Indonesia, and Alsumaria in Beirut and Baghdad. While on the faculty, Hazinski spent two years as writer, co-host and technology advisor of the internationally syndicated World Business Review with Caspar Weinberger, the Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan. Before coming to UGA, Hazinski served six years as an international correspondent for NBC News, covering the U.S.,Europe, and Central America — and ten years before that as a TV reporter with stations in Charlotte and Pittsburgh. Office: 139, Fax Number: (706) 542-2183,E-Mail Address: [email protected]

Some say that VOA ads on Geo, along with Geo allowing the Voice of America permission to air its program on Geo could have been one ofthe reasons. The Voice of America pays Geo very handsomely for airing its point of view. With Dollars comes influence. PEMRA explicitly disallows foreign TV channels to broadcast their networks from Pakistan, unless the foreign channel has permission from Pemra. Geo regularly broadcasts VOA programming (which openly spreads malicious and false propaganda against China), and perpetual test the US point of view. 

That US point of view is also broadcast on Geo in thePakistani version of the VOA report–the one hosted by Mr.Najam Sethi inPunjabi, Anglosized Punjabi, Pujabish-Urdu with occasional words in Urdu andEnglish. Mr. Sethi’s views (though sugar coated) are sometimes to repugnant tothe Pakistani mindset that Geo places an explicit explanation ahead of his program which says “the views of this author do not represent the views ofGeo”, and that Geo encourages all points of view.

Geo is also beholden to Indian commercial interests. It started the “Aman ke Asha” wave which simply states, that Pakistan shouldforget about boundary disputes and make peace with India. Some link Mr. Mir’s investigation into Kassab to his links across the border. The PPP governmentwhile really upset by Hamid Mir, is now going through the motions of trying tocover up the ineptitude of the government, the incompetence of the ISI and the inefficiency of the Army.
After the hanging of Mr. Kassab, Mr. Mir was openlythreatened by various militants who blame him for getting Kassab hanged. Onesuch group actually said that “there will be many more Kassabs.”

NAJAM SETHI, FOREIGN AGENT STILL GOING STRONG & RUNNING THE SHOW

 

 in a recent program alluded this fact thatMr. Mir and Geo sent teams to village which Geo claimed were the ancestral villages of Mr. Kassab. This has now been widely reported in the world, Indian and Pakistani media–and surely does paint a target of Mr. Mir and Geo TV.

Why did the PPP government not provide additional security to Mr. Mir? Did Rehman Malik hate Mir so much that he wanted him dead? Malik visited the residence of Hamid Mir in Islamabad and vowed to provide him effective and elaborate security. Earlier, explosive material, detonator and battery packed in a bag and affixed beneath the vehicle of Mir, was found outside his house in the federal capital. Is this a joke?

The interior minister said “that security personnel from police and FC are being provided to the journalist while a police inspector of his own choice will be also deputed for his security.” Malik also announced to constitute a fact-finding committee, including a magistrate, police officials and two journalists, which will probe the incident. Lets see if any of this is in the realm of reality.

Appendix A
(Excerpts of an expose on Geo TV) published in 2008.

STRANGE HAPPENINGS AT GEO THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED: Here are some facts about Geo and some example of how Geo demoralizes the population andthe general body of the Pakistani diaspora.

GEO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRASH OF THE STOCK MARKET: Geo repeatedly tele-cast false news about the Pakistani economy, the political situation and hence the stock market crashed in Pakistan. In a pre-orchestrated campaign. Geo focuses on the negative news and instead of focusing on solutionsit shows bodies of dead people in contradiction of PEMRA and all decencyrequirements. Geo focuses on petrol prices but does not inform the viewers thatmost private cars in Pakistan now run on CNG (liqufied petroluem gas) whichcosts $5 for a tank full. Most people driving cars are not affected by the risein petrol (gasoline) prices.

In a planned manner Geo suppresses and ignores good newslike 5.1 billion dollar of oil refinery in Pakistan. Geo usually ignores goodnews like $28 Billion Emar international island development. Geo is averse togood news about Pakistan–there is no discussion of the Bullet Trains inPakistan. Geo does not focus foreign interference in Pakistani affairs. Geo did not discuss the 89 separatist movements in India in 2007 …from SevenNortheastern sister states, to the Naxalite insurrection, to Bihar to Kashmir,to Assam etc…
Geo Dramas: 50 percent of the dramas are Indian dramas on Geo and 25 percent are with mix cast (Indian and Pakistani) and Indian film.

Geo focuses on showing beheading of people and otherdepressing news. Why did Geo not focus on showing 250 million people sleepingon sidewalks in India? Geo did not cover for 36 hours the killing of 3000Muslims in Gujrat?
Urdu is not used by many hosts. Morning host shows are inEnglish and “Urdlish” ( a horrible combination). The Younger generation isbeing spoiled by using them as instruments of hedonism. Some of the shows areway beyond the pale on being modern. Nudity is not modernity. Science andTechnology is modernity.

Geo plays into the hands of the opposition parties. It doesnot discuss opportunities for development. When Mr. Shaharayar interviewed thePresident of Azad Kashmir he interrupted him and did not allow him to speakabout the problems with the article of accession of Kashmir to India (which isnow lost) if it ever existed. Geo continues to use Indian jargon like“partition”. Partition signifies a temporary dissection of the whole. India wasnever whole. Even during British times there were more than 500 states in theSubcontinent. Some of them banded together to make Pakistan and others banded togetherto make India. Discussion of Kashmir, Manvadar, Junagarh are non-existent onGeo. Most Geo maps show Kashmir as part of Pakistan. Azad Kashmir is nevershown. Some Geo maps sill show the Northern Areas as part of India or part ofKashmir.

Kamran Khan was getting RS 25 lakh per month. Income vs.salary? Dr. Shahid Mahmud used to get Rs 22 laks per month. He was a member ofNSF student Hamid Mir the Editor of “Ausaf” get Rs. 22 Lakh per month. NadiaKhan gets Rs 6 lacs per month. Income vs. salary?When Geo was not able tobroadcast the 8-hour cricket match, Geo said they lost 1 billion Rupees, Afterthe ban Goo kept on broadcasting for 36 hours without any income?Let usinvestigate the players involved with Geo from information that is publicly available.We see these links which will be analyzed.

1) The controversial David Hazinski an ex US Navy PettyOfficer with contacts with the State Department and the American JewishCommittee (AJC)

2) Who is Todd Fratz and why does Geo associate with suchcharacters?
3) Casper Weinberger, Ronald Reagan’s indicted and pardonedSecretary of Defense who predicted the “Next War” with a rogue state like Iran.Why does Geo align itself with known war mongers.
4) Geo has strategic links with SkyTV of the UK, CNN,IBN-CNN in India and the Voice of America (VOA). See article on VOA Geoalliance in Pakistan. http://www.usembassy.gov/pakistan/h05111301.html

ORIGINS OF GEO:
Geo was started with the help of an ex US Naval PettyOfficer by the name of Hazinski who has links with Mr. Casper Weinberger andmany Indian channels.

According to (http://www.intelligentmc.com/people.html)“Most recently, he re-designed the central International Broadcast Center forthe Voice of America in Washington and is consulting on new network launchesfor the VOA”. Mr. Hazinski is the principal of the company called IntelligentMC(http://www.intelligentmc.com/Welcome.html,2870 Peachtree Road #713, Atlanta,GA 30305-2918, USA, email:[email protected], url:http://www.intelligentmc.com).the other principal of Intelligent MC is Mr. ToddFrantz. “Todd comes to IMC from 10 years at CNN in Atlanta”. He has links to“Cox Center for International Mass Communication Training and Research at The University of Georgia”.

David Hazinski, associate professor at the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, is the principle architect of GEO-TV and managed the station’s launch. He is a member of Israeli Lobby in US run by Abraham Foxman, AIPAC, B’Brith, a Jewish Organization and supports Jewish Defence League. Hazinski was contacted by the Jang Group, Pakistan’s largest newspaper publisher and GEO-TV’s owner,after he shepherded the successful launch of a similar station in India inJanuary 2001. Aaj Tak, the first all-news, Hindi-language channel in India, now has a 60% share of the news audience in India. As one of the owners ofIntelligent Media Consultants, an Atlanta-based company that helps its clientsdesign efficient and profitable network operations through the creative application of broadcast technology, Hazinski has worked all over the world launching news operations in markets starved for unbiased reporting. “This is really the cutting edge of technology and journalism,” says Hazinski, a formerNBC news correspondent who says he and his partners have helped launch at least a dozen news operations in the last 10 years. “These are new markets. Theyhaven’t been exposed to lots of TV.”

Because most of Intelligent Media’s clients are unfamiliar with broadcast news techniques, Hazinski says he is able to tailor unique approaches that maximize their limited budgets. “These people are willing to try new things because they don’t want to pay the outrageous costs associated with news production in the United States,” he says. “Right now, based on what we learned in Pakistan, we’re convinced we can launch a network today for half of what it would have cost three years ago. And no one would see any quality difference on the air – even if we aired it in the U.S.”

At GEO-TV’s main broadcast center in Karachi, Hazinski built a newsroom around 24 Mac G4s running Final Cut Pro. News footage is captured with 40 Sony PD150s and 15 PD100s. NewTek Video Toaster 2 systems are used at bureaus in Islamabad and Lahore to switch between the main broadcast center. In addition to designing a systems approach for GEO-TV, Hazinski helped teach the station’s staff how to use the equipment and how to produce television news.Greg Pope, a freelance editor and producer formerly with CNN, spent one month in Karachi this summer training GEO-TV’s news staff, which primarily consists of newspaper journalists. “We basically had to convert people from print journalists to TV journalists,” says Pope, adding that he had never taught production techniques in a classroom setting to non-English speaking students.“These print people were basically issued cameras and editing equipment and within months were transformed from pen and paper to this new electronic media.Some of them didn’t even know how to use a keyboard when we started.”

Considering the steep learning curve for the Pakistani journalists, Pope says he was amazed at their perseverance and enthusiasm.“These people are tired of having Western news and government news shoved down their throats,” says Pope, who estimates that he taught 100 people to shoot and edit video. “They want their own voice. They want to represent themselves in their own way.” But there is still a chance that the government will shut down GEO-TV. Pope says that while he was training the news staff, it was widelybelieved that there were spies for PTV within their ranks. However, in recent years the Jang Group has won many battles for freedom of the press, so there ishope that GEO-TV will succeed. “If they have minimal government interference,[GEO-TV] will change the face of Pakistan,” says Pope.

Hazinski holds a Josiah Meigs Distinguished TeachingProfessorship, the university’s highest teaching award and has been appointed aSenior Teaching Fellow and a member of the Teaching Academy.

WHO IS CASPER WEINBERGER? And why did Geo associate with aknown war monger? Caspar Willard “Cap” Weinberger (August 18, 1917 – March 28,2006), was an American politician and Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan from January 21, 1981, until November 23, 1987, making him the third longest-serving defense secretary to date, after Robert McNamara and Donald Rumsfeld. He is also known for his roles in the Strategic DefenseInitiative program and the Iran-Contra Affair.

Following his resignation as Secretary of Defense,Weinberger was placed under indictment by Independent Counsel Lawrence E.Walsh. The formal indictment charged Weinberger with several felony counts of lying to the Iran-Contra independent counsel during its investigation. Weinberger received a Presidential pardon from President George H.W. Bush on December 24,1992, after Bush had failed to win a second term. In 1996, Weinberger co-authored a book entitled The Next War, which raised questions about the adequacy of US military capabilities following the end of the Cold War. After he published his book, his colleagues from the Reagan administration broke contact and refused to speak with him.
Honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (‘GBE’) in 1988, awarded in recognition for an “outstanding and invaluable” contribution to military cooperation between the UK and the US,particularly during the Falklands War of 1982.

WEINBERGER DISCUSSES IRAN AND THE NEXT WAR: From PublishersWeekly
Weinberger, secretary of defense for most of the Reaganyears, collaborates with Schweizer, president of the James Madison Institute,to present five possible near-future scenarios in which the U.S. goes to war.Scenario one is based on a North Korean invasion of South Korea that ends instalemate after a limited nuclear exchange. Number two casts Iran as a roguestate using ballistic missiles to alter the Middle East’s balance of power. Thethird scenario postulates a radical Mexican government scapegoating the U.S. asthe source of its country’s woes. A fourth describes the conquest of Europe bya resurgent Russia?again with the aid of nuclear weapons. In scenario five, theU.S. and Japan reignite the Pacific War of 1941-1945, this time using“cyberstrikes” against information systems, chemical warfare and a nuclearexchange.

The authors tell their stories through the eyes of fictionalparticipants. This format, familiar to readers of techno-thrillers, is aneffective framework for dramatizing a set of pessimistic conclusions. Becauseof America’s reduction of its conventional armed forces and its failure tobuild a missile defense system, none of the scenarios have outcomes morepositive than stalemate achieved at high cost.

The authors’ lament for such a missilesystem and for the armed forces of the past won’t convince those who believethat the dominant modes of future conflict will be terrorism and guerrilla war,however. Weinberger and Schweizer nevertheless make a case deserving seriousconsideration by citizens and policy-makers alike. PUblisher’s Weekly posted onAmazon.

DESTABILIZING PAKISTAN: Geo has been blamed forparticipating in and highlighting events per CNN instructions. Why is Geo notreporting Gen. Kayani’s statement that he suspects a foreign hand in theassassination to destabilize and denuclearize Pakistan? The silence isdeafening! Saboteurs trained in Afghanistan have been inserted into Pakistan toaggravate extremist passions here, especially after the Red Mosque operation.

Chinese citizens continue to be targeted by individualspretending to be Islamists, when no known Islamic group has claimedresponsibility. . A succession of “religious rebels” with suspicious foreignlinks have suddenly emerged in Pakistan over the past months claiming to be“Pakistani Taliban”. Some of the names include Abdul Rashid Ghazi, BaitullahMehsud, and now the Maulana of Swat. Some of them have used, and are using,encrypted communication equipment far superior to what the Pakistani militaryowns.

Money and weapons have been fed into the religious movementsand al-Qaeda remnants in the tribal areas.
Exploiting the situation, assets within the Pakistani mediastarted promoting the idea that the Pakistani military was killing its ownpeople. The rest of the unsuspecting media quickly picked up this message. Somebotched US and Pakistani military operations against al-Qaeda that causedcivilian deaths accidentally fed this media campaign.This was the perfecttiming for the launch of Military, Inc: Inside Pakistan’s Military Economy, abook authored by Ayesha Siddiqa Agha, a columnist for a PakistaniEnglish-language paper and a correspondent for “Jane’s Defence Weekly”, aprivate intelligence service founded by experts close to British intelligence.(Ahmed Quraishi is an investigative reporter, currently hosting a weeklypolitical talk show titled Worldview from Islamabad.)

Pakistani Sentiments: Alarming

 

Pakistani Sentiments: Alarming

 

 After unveiling of the real face and intentions of our government clearly spelled out in the press conference of the government information minister it is now crystal clear what all is going on and where they stand. They are bent upon to diminish and disgrace the very state institutions which can save us from falling apart and integrity of the state at this juncture. It really saddens me and should sadden every Pakistani to hear this.

 

It is the worst thing which could happen at this most critical juncture in our history where our very survival is at stake. We are indeed completely surrounded by enemies from within and without. Even the government in Power is sleeping with the enemy. It refuses to claim ownership of the country, its only vital institutions and the suffering of the people.
Things certainly cannot go on further like this. The existing system has to change immediately for us to survive and safely go through this critical life threatening test. I think this is the last stray which must break the camel’s back.

 

As i wrote two days back the present system in the guise of so called Democracy has been thoroughly bastardized and customized by thieves, looters and enemies of the state to their convenience. As such this system cannot work nor can it be called democratic in any way.

 

Instead of sustaining more national damage it will be much better to swallow the bitter pill once and for all and send this time failed corrupt system packing.

 

Thereafter instead of military rule, put an interim national civilian government of patriotic Pakistanis from all walks of life in place for a period and meanwhile put brains to frame and put together a new workable democratic system. A constitutional court can also be put in place at the Supreme Court level to oversee the framing of the new order and ensuring that the order protects all the basic rights of the citizens and that it is fair and balanced. The new order must also be put in front of the Public through fair and transparent set of referendums to seek their suggestions advice and subsequently clear approval of the people of Pakistan.

 

All these thieves, looters, anti state elements must also be brought to the book and held accountable. No matter whom they are without any favorites and exception and across the board.

 

Long Live Pakistan. May all its enemies be doomed and punished.

COMMENT

 Totally agree with Naeem Abbas. A, JK-Leghari-type action is needed immediately.

 

The President must act, no holds barred. That is the only way we can save Pakistan from this third rate motley of so-called corrupt, unpatriotic, traitorous leaders after winning the elections fraudulently.

 

The present scenario is not only about the Army and ISI, it is about the country, Pakistan.

 

 These chicken-hearted crowd of goons are bent upon breaking this country. The sooner they are packed up, the better.
