"Mentally, I can't accept that he's not with us. I'm burying a storm inside me as he wrote to everyone but no action was taken to save his life… People who filed more than 12 FIRs against him are the ones who wanted him eliminated."
— Begum Riffat Ara, Mother of Arshad Sharif Shaheed.

It is worth mentioning that the mother of Arshad Sharif, Riffat Ara Alvi, submitted a detailed application to the Chief Justice of Pakistan after his assassination, identifying those she believes were involved in her son’s targeted killing. She named General (R) Qamar Javed Bajwa, Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum, Maj Gen Faisal Naseer, Brig Muhammad Shafiq Malik, Brig Faheem Raza, Col Rizwan, Col Nouman, and Waqar Ahmed among others, urging that a case be registered under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code and Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (1997) with the Counter Terrorism Wing of the FIA. However, there has been no sign of investigation on these military personnel.

@TheWatchman_2 تھوڑی بہت نہیں، کھلم کھلا رگنگ۔ جاہلوں نے فارم 47 بھی صحیح سے نہیں بنائے۔

[PTI @PTIofficial]

The level of rigging in the general elections is unprecedented. Even the election results released through Forms 47 by the Election Commission of Pakistan show such concocted numbers that they defy all reason and sense. This blatant manipulation is an insult to democracy and the rights of voters. #RiggingEXPOSED

The Iran war has gone from a Republican loyalty test to a political albatross. https://t.co/Ab4SLd1wj2

[brief. @brief_pk]

If you depend on an LPG cylinder to cook or heat your home, the government's latest decision to auction local gas should worry you.

Right now, gas from Iran is barely trickling across the border because of banking and e-customs paperwork issues at Taftan and Gabd, issues that were unnecessarily created based on US pressure. With that cheap supply cut off, distributors have already jacked up cylinder prices to over RS7000. The official rate set by the government is around RS3300, but almost nobody on the ground can actually buy it at that price.

Now, the government says it will sell 90% of Pakistan's own domestic gas production through open bidding to LPG marketing companies, claiming this makes the market competitive and transparent.

Here is what that actually means for your pocket.

When supply is scarce, putting gas up for auction does not make it cheaper. It creates a bidding war. Companies will pay top dollar just to get their hands on whatever gas is available, because they know you have no choice but to pay whatever they charge down the line.

Instead of cheap domestic gas acting as a cushion to keep prices down, its base cost will now match the inflated crisis rates. The private companies will simply treat their high bidding costs as an excuse to keep retail prices high, and the corner shop decanter will tack on his own cut.
Capping each company at 20 tons a day will not stop cartels either. Big players can easily bid using different sister companies and paperwork licenses to corner the market, adding more middlemen along the way.

This policy does not fix the shortage or help ordinary families. What it really does is let state-owned gas producers cash in on high prices right at the wellhead, turning an artificial shortage into revenue while the public picks up the tab just to run their kitchen.

@AbdulElSayed also questioned unconditional US military aid to Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, demanding equal accountability.

Is this the beginning of the end for Pakistan’s regime over its human rights abuses?

”پاکستان کی معیشت کے تباہ ہونے کی وجہ جرنیلوں کا سیاست میں مداخلت کرنا اور ہر ادارے کو طاقت سے اپنے کنٹرول میں رکھنا ہے۔ گزشتہ 4 سال میں کوئی ایک شعبہ ایسا نہیں جس میں کوئی بہتر کارکردگی دکھائی گئی ہو۔ عاصم منیر جب سے اقتدار میں آیا ہے، پاکستان کا تجارتی خسارہ ہر سال مسلسل بڑھ رہا ہے۔ پاکستان کی ایکسپورٹ اور جی ڈی پی کا اگر بھارت اور بنگلہ دیش سے موازنہ کریں تو ان سے بہت پیچھے رہ گئے ہیں۔“ عمران ریاض خان

Abby Martin: ‘The Democrats’ midterms landslide will NOT result in any policy changes. They will go back to doing what they do best…LOSING.’

‘The Democrats are going to point to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to say, “Our hands are tied. These are the leaders of the party.” So whatever progressive measures that they bring forward, they’ll be stymied by the veto power of Trump.

Trump just posted today. Remember, I’m POTUS. Yeah, we know, and we know exactly what’s going to happen because we’ve seen this playbook rolled out several times.

They’re going to try to pass a modicum of progressive legislation and it’s going to be stopped dead in its tracks and they’re going to say, “Well, we tried, let’s get back to losing just like we do best.”
So look, there’s a lot of excitement, and rightfully so. Kansas, Texas, these states turning blue for the first time in my lifetime.

That’s monumental, and it shows again the repudiation of this draconian authoritarianism, the fascism, big tech, the data centres, the culture war, the wars. All of Americans see it for what it is, but it’s not going to translate to any sort of policy change.

And the Democrats are going to do what they do best, which is co-opt these these movements, mobilise them into just a voter base, and just go with more of the same. Because right now they’re locking down with their self-preservation, and we saw what they did to Angie Nixon in Florida.

A Democratic Socialist that was anti-Zionist, was this close to actually popping off a blue seat in Florida. And Chuck Schumer said he’d rather not. He’d rather not because he’s that scared of anti-Zionism.

So we already see where their loyalties are, and we see what they’re willing to give up to hold on to their power and their allegiances. And it’s going to be another huge disappointment for the American people moving forward.’

Since Pakistan lives on foreign credit while its ruling government and military class captures the loans, how do ordinary people survive?

The state does not sustain its population through factories or productive public investments. Instead, it relies on informal lifelines to keep millions right at subsistence level. Over thirty billion dollars arrives each year from working-class laborers and drivers in the Gulf, wired directly to their families to buy wheat flour and pay rent, completely bypassing the government treasury.

Meanwhile, sixty to seventy percent of the national economy runs off the books. Unregistered street markets, daily-wage labor, and illicit border trades provide the cash that keeps households from starving outside the formal banking system.

The government steps in only to manage hunger instead of solving it. Federal education spending has plummeted to less than 1% of GDP while the state expands targeted cash programs like BISP, giving families just enough pocket money every few months to stop food riots. When that falls short, private charities and community kitchens feed millions of workers on the street every day because public institutions refuse to do it.

The loaned rentier state keeps ordinary people functional enough to survive, but denies them the tools to build real wealth, leveraging their labor to pay the taxes that keep foreign creditors satisfied.

Abdul El-Sayed mentioned that Pakistan receives US aid alongside countries like Israel and Egypt, but in truth, Pakistan is a rentier state that acts like a colony. It isn't even in a position to receive real aid anymore. Instead, the country is strapped with loans from US-backed institutions that only burden the public. Those loans are primarily used to cover m government expenses and serve the Pakistani military's interests, while a few superficial programs are set up on the side just to make it look like ordinary citizens are being helped.

All of this is designed to serve American geopolitical interests. By keeping the ruling elite and the military afloat on borrowed money, Washington keeps the state compliant while working-class Pakistanis are treated like slaves, forced to pay back debt they never benefited from through brutal taxes and utility bills. Abdul El-Sayed needs to educate himself on this matter, because the crisis in Pakistan isn't about foreign handouts. It is the reality of a modern-day slave colony.
