Imagine being Mohammad Ghalibaf.

You're a veteran of the absolutely brutal Iran-Iraq War (500K casualties), you're a jet pilot and former commander of the IRGC Air Force, you're the former Mayor of Tehran (pop. 10 million), and you have a PhD in political geography from a top Iranian university.

Your opponent, Pete Hegseth, is a former National Guard guy and TV talk show host.

It's just laughable; how could you even begin to take him seriously at the table? The mismatch across every area is just so extreme.

Sanctimonious phonies like Norway (which said they’d skip the Qatar World Cup despite not qualifying) and Germany (which posed hands over mouths and wore rainbow Rolexes) made a huge fuss about Qatar, but they’re saying nothing now.

About a Cup where even teams and referees can’t travel freely and everybody gets their social media scanned to see if they’re suitably quiet about the genocide currently going on.

And the same journalists and officials who protested about Qatar are quiet because that was, in hindsight, just racism.

These fake nations, fake institutions, fake journalists; they’re all part of the White Empire. All a bunch of false flags to match the false internationalism of FIFA. This event, like so many events this century, reveals the White Empire behind the scenes, and it’s obscene.

If a hostile agency was to take down another country, here is what the agenda items would look like:

1. Centralize power structures under 1 individual, preferably a military general.

2. Rig elections and install a small pack of extractive elite that serves only self interest.

3. Suppress politics, activism, and media.

4. Inflict substantial economic pain on the people so they either leave or give up.

5. Overdose people on lies and delusions of greatness and global relevance.

Once you are able to pull 1, which is the hardest part, rest 2,3,4 and 5 will follow organically.

issuing a Rs 2000 fine to a rickshaw driver for a lane violation is equivalent to depriving his family of two days meal. To say that the law is equal for everyone and that all should comply is an insensitive argument. For a person driving 4×4 this amount is like peanuts.

اسد قیصر کو اسکردو جانے سے روکنا تھا، ایئرپورٹ کی طرف ناکے لگائے، نتیجے میں ہزاروں مسافر پھنس گئے، کئی کلومیٹر لمبی قطاریں لگ گئیں، فلائٹس مس ہو گئیں۔ نالائق، نااہل تو ہیں ہی ساتھ بے حس بھی ہیں

The petroleum levy is the state’s favourite shortcut.

A rickshaw driver, schoolteacher, motorcyclist and billionaire all pay the same per litre.

That is not neutrality. That is regressiveness and injustice.

A country cannot tax survival and call it reform.

Bichara Sarfaraz Bugti. This highly skilled, honest, people-oriented and motivated man gets up at 5 am every day and works till late at night without break to develop Balochistan. But he is unable to deliver progress bcoz Balochistan is so big. Now if it is broken into 3-4 parts and people similar to Bugti appointed as CMs, the smaller parts will do din dugni and raat chogni turruqee. (day double, night quadruple progress).

This is the utter nonsensical, cock and bull story Pindi would like us to believe in its quest to make smaller provinces under its divide and rule policy.

The reality: Balochistan is not poor bcoz of its size but bcoz pindi imposes dishonest, incompetent elites like S. Bugti to exploit its resources. Breaking it into 3-4 and imposing Bugtis on all of them will just create 3-4 poor and mismanaged provinces.

Oppose the creation of many more provinces. Oppose any constitutional amendment by this illegitimate puppet regime.

[Pakistan @Indusland_]

It’s infuriating to see Islamabad being destroyed by Administration. It already has one of world's largest Parks, Fatima Jinnah Park. These constrution are being made on green belts and forests just for money. We need to protest now before the city turns into a Concrete Desert.

A woman was about to give birth when CDA came with the police.
We begged them not to do this oppression but they still dragged her out where she gave birth in front of police and everyone else.

From a failed coup, to a failed regime change operation and a failed attempt to kill diplomacy and send Iran, an isolated and sanctioned nation, back to the Stone Age, we have arrived at a point where Iran has now dictated the terms for a ceasefire to the US, has managed to put a leash on Israel as the first and only country in the world to protect its allies, has forced the US to unfreeze Iran’s assets and perhaps soon lift all sanctions and Trump to praise Iran to save his own face. Meanwhile, Iran has maintained its sovereignty and completely restored its image on the world stage like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

As it stands today, this will go down in history as one of the greatest strategic achievements ever.

63 Katchi Abadis which over 3 lac people in Islamabad call home. As per 2025 Policy Document.

And now the government wants to demolish them all.

What sort of a democracy is this?

Where is the promise of Constitutional Rights?

Update on today's hearing in the FCC, where Faisal Siddiqui appeared on our behalf:

1. The FCC upheld the stay order against summary evictions, along with all previous orders in this case.

2. The CJ-led bench expressed displeasure that the CDA has still not adopted a regulatory framework to govern katchi abadis

3. The bench agreed with our counsel that the regulatory framework must recognise the statutory rights of all katchi abadi dwellers & residents of informal settlements based on the principle of regularization & upgradation on site & (only where necessary) relocation of katchi abadis, as laid out in the National Housing Policy 2025 & the CDA 1960 ordinance.

4. The FCC bench directed CDA to formalise a regulatory framework in consultation with the primary stakeholders, i.e. the residents within 4 weeks when the case will be fixed again.

We expect CDA to comply with FCC orders & immediately desist from further home demolitions or eviction notices in Islamabad.

[Maryam Nawaz Khan @maryamnawazkhan]

Nearly 4 lac people are getting displaced by CDA in Islamabad.
Operation continued in biting cold weather, during torrential rain, fires were opened on locals protesting against demolition.

Today in Federal Constitutional Court, the CJ Amin ud Din Khan with naivety asked if policy has been made, and then why are you(kachi abadi residents) here?

The court was shaken by lawyer Faisal Siddiqui, saying that CDA didn't make any policy in 10 years despite court orders, we are here to ask for our right,not for mercy appeal. About 4 lac people of kachi abadi are getting evacuated, its Islamabad not Gaza.

But imagine, court didn't move an inch, asked to formulate policy in 30 days and adjourned the case without orders of stay implementation, called it a last chance.

Judges heard the case with smiling faces, with zero empathy with more than four lac people. Knowing CDA will demolish the entire locality in the meantime.
