Deadly “Corporate” Media Sovereignty

Freedom of the press and freedom of the media is one of the fundamentals of democracy, but if handed over to a nation not used to it, it may turn ugly. Nothing is hidden from the camera today. Be it “sources” on the inside or even fabricated stories. Being a corporate entity, money is what matters the most. Sometimes, our media seems to be speaking on someone else’s behalf. They stand sovereign, above any laws.

The Pakistani JF-17 Thunder flying proudly in Pakistani air space!

Sunday, 14th September – 2008

A sigh of relief for the Pakistani nation at last! The Pakistan air force decided to send in its jets to fly over North Waziristan to keep a check on Pakistan’s air space violations by the United States, which is being seen as a very strong signal internationally.

A US spy plane had entered Pakistani air space but disappeared soon after the emergence of PAF fighter jets.

Locals of FATA have expressed a sigh of relief and satisfaction over the PAF flights.

The United States had publicly announced in recent days that it will carry out attacks in Pakistani territory and will only inform the Pakistani government. The United States categorically said that it will not ask for Pakistan’s permission, which invited a strong statement from the Chief of Pakistani armed forces, General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani. (more…)

Wake up, we are already at War!

The number of missile attacks by pilot less Predator drones in Pakistan has more than tripled in the past year. Pakistani officials reported 11 such strikes this year, compared to three strikes in 2007. The strikes continue, and all we get is a grin from the President, or a statement such as “This is a war which is against Pakistan. And we’ll fight for our own past. And that is because I have lost my own leader, Benazir Bhutto, because of the militants” from the Prime Minister. Wake up, we are already at War!

See how we love China!

No matter what they do, no matter how a handful of ‘planted’ elements conspire, the people of Pakistan love their Chinese brethren! I had the opportunity to witness this love first hand at a university in Karachi. Students wrote their comments on a blank board brought in by China Mobile (ZONG) for marketing purposes which said “Said it all” to showcase in their media campaigns.

It was heartening to see a comment say “Send an Ambassador to China, Please?!“. It is encouraging to know that people have their ears and eyes open to the recent developments.

While someone wrote ‘Never trust China’ referring to the quality of their products, someone felt offended and wrote this in reply:

Clearly appreciating gifts of China to Pakistan:

That is a BIG, LOVING heart there for China:

My favorite comment, Send an Ambassador to China, Please!?

[Update: The government FINALLY appointed an ambassador to China today, after several months!!]

Now this is what the sensible people in this country think. This is how much our people love China and Chinese people.

A dirty conspiracy is being hatched to create a rift in Pakistan-China relations by kidnapping and in some cases murdering Chinese engineers who work in Pakistan, yet China continues to support us as it is aware of the nefarious designs of the USA and India!

To China, From the People of Pakistan: We stand by you and appreciate all what you have done for the stability and progress of our country like true brothers. Please keep supporting us and help us thwart this conspiracy to destroy our relations.

Pak-China Dosti Zindabad!
