bloody civilian

"Army is like a bull in a China shop. If you understand The makeup of a military man, they are programmed to fail in civilian areas."— Imran Khan.

📍London —2011 🇵🇰🇬🇧

[brief. @brief_pk]

Zia-ul-Haq in 1977 and Pervez Musharraf in 1999 ruled from the front, so the military owned every failure directly. By the end of 2007, public anger against Musharraf got so bad that officers were afraid to wear their uniforms in public and GHQ told personnel to travel in civilian clothes. Today’s military government learned from 2007 and rules from behind. They keep a compromised civilian coalition in office to keep Western credit lines open and take the blame for inflation, militant attacks, and bad governance while the military grabs the country's assets through the SIFC.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, they already took Fauji and Askari's cement and limestone quarries in Nizampur, NLC's border terminals at Torkham, prime cantonment real estate, timber and hydel corridors, and 20,900 square kilometers of reserved copper, gold, and lithium blocks. Unlike real estate, mining takes a decade of military operations, surveys, and crushing plants before it pays out. In KP, that work started after the 2014 North Waziristan operation, moved through the 2016 Boya copper lease, the 2019 plant startup, the 2022 exploration expansion, and the 2023 tax-exempt Export Processing Zone. Now those mines are ready to pay out billions right ahead of next month's investment forum in Islamabad.

The problem for the military is that you cannot run a 1980s cover-up on a 2026 digital trail. To pitch foreign buyers, the state had to put its mining maps on KP's online Landfolio cadastre and clear shipments through international customs. Those public records expose the whole timeline, from FWO's 7,410-acre Boya mine and its $9.34 million in new Chinese rock-boring machinery to NAB's own files clearing the local mining backlog.

The civilian front is not saving the military from a repeat of 2007, because the public records show who is taking the province's wealth right as a decade of groundwork starts paying off.

The elected Chief Minister of a province being rendered a missing person brings me back to the first missing person of this country, our founding father, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

He demoted a General, for merely having a political opinion, namely Ayub Khan, and posted him to the East Pakistan Rifles, barring him from any further promotion.

On 14 June 1948, the Quaid addressed the Quetta Staff College and said, and I quote, “Do not forget that the armed forces are the servants of the people.” He knew what they were up to and the harm they would do to his country.

It didn’t sit well with the armed forces. A month later, Quaid-e-Azam was abducted and taken to Ziarat against his will.

Ziarat has a 4,000-year-old history, yet in those 4,000 years, it received its first patient. There exists no sanatorium, no hospital, not even a dispensary, to this day. Even today, we cannot easily visit it. It is still kept primitive.

The Quaid was cut off from the world there, just as Imran Khan is today, and so is Sohail Afridi. He, too, was placed in “protective custody.” This nation never saw him again.

All of Pakistan’s problems will vanish the day we recover the first missing person, our Quaid, who was left to die, and the day the Generals accept their fate as servants of the people, bow their heads, and salute the civilian.

The military man who really rules Pakistan wants to slice up the country’s provinces. It seems unlikely that his plan is about making life better for ordinary people https://t.co/yQeAt0GI68

I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21.

Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story:

BBC News:

I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors.

My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher.

I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day.

The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me.

Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly:

Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.

Yes. Under Israeli Penal Law section 351, consensual sex with a parent is prohibited only if the younger party is under 21. At 21 or older it is not a criminal offense.

خیبر پختونخوا میں دہشت گردی بڑھے تو ذمہ دار سہیل آفریدی
بلوچستان میں دہشت گردی ہو تو قصور مقامی لوگوں کی دہشت گردوں سے محبت کا
کرکٹ تباہ ہو تو عمران خان کی سابقہ پالیسیوں کا نتیجہ
معیشت تباہ ہو تو ن لیگ کی نااہل حکومت ذمہ دار
فوج سے نفرت بڑھے تو سوشل میڈیا کا فتنہ
سیاسی عدم استحکام ہو تو سیاستدانوں کی نالائقی
افغانستان سے تعلقات خراب ہوں تو بھارتی سازش
پاکستانی پاسپورٹ بدترین تنزلی کا شکار ہو تو حالات ذمہ دار
بھارت پانی روکے تو مودی کی ذہنیت ذمہ دار
لیکن دریائے سوات میں پھنسے ارشد خان کو کھوتے اور ریڑھی سمیت زندہ سلامت نکال لیا گیا یہ کریڈٹ بہادر فوج کو جاتا ہے، پاک فوج تیری عظمت کو سلام

The more you pick the more it grows. It’s completely counter intuitive to the modern scarcity model. But if you don’t pick beans they stop growing. The more fruit you pick the healthier the tree. The seeds fall from everything and just more grows and grows.

The idea of man being a plague on the earth is completely inverted. We actually make everything more fertile the more we cultivate and grow. It’s one reason why rural agrarians can appear low ambition or “simple.” It’s because there really isn’t anything to worry about. The more you take the more you receive. It’s mind blowing.

یہ فوج ہی پاکستان اور پاکستانیوں کو انڈیا سے زیادہ اپنا دشمن سمجھتی ہے۔ ہمیں کچلنے کے لیے دہشت گرد بناتی ہے۔ پختونخوا حکومت گرانے کے لیے اپنے ہی لوگوں کو کیوں مار رہے ہو؟ تمہاری یہ ذہنیت کب بدلے گی؟ مجھے افسوس ہے، نہیں بدلے گی۔

تمہاری پالیسی پہلے دن سے یہ ہے کہ امریکا کی دلالی کرو اور ڈالر گھر لے جاؤ۔ 9/11 کے بعد امریکا ہماری معاونت کرتا تھا کہ افغانیوں کو پکڑ کر ان کے حوالے کرو ۔ آج وہ معاونت ہمیں افغانیوں سے بچانے کے لیے کر رہا ہے۔

میں نے مشرقی پاکستان میں تمہیں نہتے بنگالیوں کو شکار کے شوق میں مارتے دیکھا ہے۔ وہ وزیرستان ہو یا تربت، سانحہ APS کا مجرم ہو یا دہشت گرد، وہ تمہارے گھروں میں پناہ لے رہے ہوتے ہیں! اپنی دہشت گردی سے باز آ جاؤ۔
