amid the mourning, there is one tiny corpse for whom no one weeps; an abandoned baby with no name, and no family to claim him.

Leaked Hillary Clinton Emails Revealed NATO Killed Gaddafi to Stop the formation of a United States of Africa. #GaddafiFilesPart1

Of the 3,000 emails released from Hillary Clinton's private email server in late December 2015, about a third were from her close confidante Sidney Blumenthal. One of these emails, dated April 2, 2011, read in part:

[The Pakistan Experience @ThePakistanExp1]

Why is Imran Khan in jail?

I considered making videos breaking down the cases Imran Khan has been arrested in to discuss the merits of the case but any such discussion would be futile because the only reason Imran Khan is in jail today is because the Establishment in Pakistan wants him there.

So I’d much rather talk about how we got here. How did the ladla go from the Prince who was promised to the new minus one? And how did the old minus one go from convict to the next presumed Prime Minister?

For the record, I think all the major cases against Imran Khan have merit. The Cypher conspiracy from Imran Khan was a lie and compromised our national security. Imran Khan illegally made millions from selling Tosha Khana gifts that he didn’t declare. And Imran Khan obviously gave Malik Riaz billions that belonged to the Government of Pakistan and Malik Riaz absolutely repaid in the Al Qadr University case.

All of this is irrelevant to today’s discussion because the question is:

Why does all the corruption of the politicians only become relevant when the Establishment wants to use it against them?

The foreign funding case against PTI, where the senior leadership of PTI was seen to steal millions, was on ice for years while PTI was the Establishment’s political wing.

Imran Khan became Prime Minister while he was out on bail from the Anti Terrorism Court in the 2014 Parliament attack case.

None of it mattered then because the Establishment wanted Nawaz Sharif gone. The sham judgment in the Panama case was pushed through just to remove Nawaz Sharif from the political landscape.

Today, those judgments against Nawaz Sharif have been quashed, and a judicial circus was set up to hasten Imran Khan’s arrest in midnight courts and sham proceedings.

Both Imran Khan and Nawaz Sharif may have done massive corruption but the Judiciary bending over backwards at the Establishment’s bidding destroys the credibility of all political, judicial and state institutions.

And it is too simplistic to say all the politicians should come together today to push the Establishment back and regain the space for civilian supremacy.

PPP and PMLN did exactly that two decades ago when they signed the Charter of Democracy but the Establishment created Imran Khan to derail democracy again in Pakistan.

Today, how do we expect Nawaz Sharif to sit down with Imran Khan when barely a couple of years ago when Imran Khan was drunk with power, Nawaz Sharif’s daughter wad arrested infront of his eyes? When his wife was dying PTI leaders, supporters and anchors were making fun of Kulsoom Nawaz’s illness?

The Charter of Democracy was not perfect but it was a step forward for Pakistan, it was Imran Khan who destroyed that new political reality and brought Pakistan back to a politics of vengeance, and that is what he will see now from the Sharifs, he has been thrown into the grave he was digging for his political opponents, and that is where he will stay till the Establishment needs him again to use him against the Sharifs and PPP.

Will I have any sympathy for Nawaz Sharif when he is removed two years down the line? No

When he strike deals with the Establishment to gain power, don’t invoke democratic principles when the same Establishment removes you - Imran Khan used to call General Bajwa the father of the quam when he rigged the system to make Khan PM but when he was removed suddenly the same General Bajwa became Mir Sadiq and Mir Jafer.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, we are seeing a repeat of the 2018 selection, just that the boot is on the other foot.

Nothing is permanent in Pakistan though. The Sharifs will also one day fall into the grave they are digging for Khan today.

The only thing that remains constant is that the House always wins and Democracy continues to be biggest reality show in Pakistan.

It all boils down to the question;

What does the State of Pakistan want?

Barely days after the 52nd Anniversary of the creation of Bangladesh, the State of Pakistan showed that it had not learnt any lessons by leading a violent crackdown on peaceful Baloch protestors.

Protesters who had walked to Islamabad all the way from Balochistan led by Baloch women asking for their rights, asking for the whereabouts of their loved ones who have been missing, asking to be treated as citizens, as human beings.

The protested in the same city PTI was allowed to have a dharna for months, TLP was allowed to lay siege to twice, PDM was allowed to have jalsa but the State of Pakistan feared Baloch women so much that they were met by brutal force, water canons and police aggression, the Baloch are the only group in Pakistan not allowed to march, not allowed to speak, not allowed to even exist.

The State of Pakistan wants Balochistan to be a part of Pakistan but it explicitly shows Baloch people that the capital of the same Pakistan does not belong to the Baloch, they will be “deported” if they come to Islamabad.

So my question to the State is simple, what do you want?

A group of people recognize the State, recognize the capital of that State, they come to the capital of that state to ask the Government of that state to give them the rights they have as per the Constitution of that state, if you are to unleash the worst kind of fascism on this group, you are telling the Baloch people that notions of Justice, Law, Human Rights, and the Constitution, are not for the Baloch.

They are not allowed to appeal to the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice of Pakistan is Baloch just in name, he is not allowed to hear the Baloch people, he is not allowed to provide Justice to the Baloch.

By closing all roads available for Justice for the Baloch, you are pushing them towards violence.

Mahrang Baloch should not be demonized, she should be heralded as a hero - she is the face of Balochistan that you want, she has managed to bring thousands of people on the street asking the Pakistani Government, the Pakistani State and the Pakistani Supreme Court for their rights, by denying them this, you’re telling them they’re not Pakistanis.

Fascism does not work,
Repression does not work,
Force does not work,

If you want the people of Balochistan to be Pakistanis they have to be made to feel like the country belongs to them too, that they also have equal human rights in this country, the people of Balochistan today are looking at insurgents, and they are looking at the movement of Baloch women, they have a choice, if you rob them of this choice, you will push them towards the path of insurgency.

The choice is yours, so I ask you again, the State of Pakistan, what do you want?
