Pakistan Uncovered
By: Saad Ali
Pakistan has been labeled the most dangerous country in the world, (a safe haven for terrorists). The leaders of our country are eager to invade and the mainstream media is working tirelessly to create the fear that will allow them do so. The fact that only six corporations dominate our major media outlets, it’s obvious that our information sources serve the interests of the controlling. For that reason, I set out on a trip to Pakistan to find out what is actually going on in that country. What I discovered shocked me.
The first stop of my trip was Islamabad, Pakistan, the nation’s capital. Islamabad has been victim to many suicide attacks in recent years. Thousands of people have been murdered by the hands of the terrorists, aka Blackwater. Blackwater has been confirmed by former CIA officials to having over 3,000 operatives present throughout the country. Pakistan’s International News reported on the increasing suspicious movement of foreigners in Peshawar, Pakistan. A local resident stated, “What we have been hearing about the presence of Blackwater or other suspicious foreigners in Peshawar and Pakistan is alarming.” Investigative Journalist, Wayne Madsen, in a Russia Today interview stated, “I’ve been told by private military contract sources that a former British SAS officer is basically putting ads in local newspapers in Pakistan looking to rent compounds for this influx of private military contractors.” Madsen also talked about how three former Pakistani generals have been giving speeches, stating that private military contractors are present in Islamabad and Peshawar.
We all know about the ruthless killings of countless innocent civilians Blackwater is responsible for in Iraq and Afghanistan. These murderers are loyal to nothing but a paycheck, and their presence in Pakistan has angered many. I set out to find where I can find these mercenaries, and what their agenda is in Pakistan. By talking to different independent media outlets I was able to locate the area which has been allotted to Blackwater mercenaries in Islamabad (In case you’re wondering, they stay in the F-7 region.) Now it’s not easy getting close to the area because security is extremely tight. Driving by was about as close as I could get.
However, talking to different people about Blackwater and their agenda opened a lot of doors for me. The US can’t invade Pakistan without a reason. Blackwater USA has been contracted to destabilize the country and pave a reason to invade. Along with Blackwater, intelligence agencies CIA, Mossad, and Raw have been reported to be working in Pakistan as well. Now you’re probably questioning, how would Blackwater and these agencies destabilize Pakistan? Well they are playing with the ‘terror’ card, like they did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Who is really behind these suicide bombings that occur on a daily basis in Pakistan? In order to answer this, let’s look at the facts.
On September 20, 2008 a dump truck filled with explosives detonated in front of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, killing 54 and wounding 266. The media fed us the usual ‘terrorist attack’ story, like they did on 9/11. But according to a report by Tariq But of the Saudi Gazette, witnesses said that Marines unloaded a US embassy truckload of steel boxes and shifted them inside the Marriott Hotel on Wednesday, three days before the bombing. It was a high-security operation carried out with both the main gates of the hotel closed. Only the US Marines could approach the truck to unload the steel boxes and shift them inside the hotel. Hotel sources said the boxes were not passed through the scanners installed at the entrance of the lobby and were shifted to the fourth and fifth floors of the Marriott.
Incidents like the Marriott Hotel bombing occur on a daily basis in Pakistan. Circumstantial evidence proves the fact that Blackwater and other intelligence agencies are heavily involved in these bombings, and are using them to destabilize the country and create a scare by pointing the blame to the so called ‘extremists.’ Recently, Peshawar was victim to a devastating bomb blast in which 117 innocent Pakistani’s were killed. Local news agency NNI has reported that Hakimullah Mehsud, the Chief of the Pakistani- Pashtun Movement in Pakistan, has blamed Blackwater for the bomb blast. Mehsud claimed that “Blackwater and Pakistani agencies are involved in attacks in public places to [maliciously] blame the militants.”
Blackwater and other intelligence agencies are playing their cards differently throughout the country. In some parts, including Islamabad, they created a war between the militants and the government. In others, however, we see a war between Shi’ites and Sunnis. This topic takes me to my next stop, Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan. This city has seen more bomb blasts than any other city in the country. Over 4,000 people have been killed in the last few years. As I entered the city I was in complete shock from what I saw. What was once a peaceful, growing city was now a chaotic police state. The military roamed the streets fully armed with machine guns and tanks. Soldiers with AK-47’s were stationed on every corner of the city. All schools and universities were shut down, and we were living under a curfew. I had to watch my back 24/7 with the worry that a bomb could explode, or someone, out of nowhere, would start shooting innocent people.
Most days, while reporting, people would tell me to go home and stay safe; there has been a bomb threat. I could sense the tension between the Sunnis and the Shi’ites everywhere I went. Many sources told me that a war was created between the two sects. What confused me was that Sunni’s and Shi’ites have lived in Pakistan for decades, and have never fought like this. Why have they begun to kill each other now? I spoke with Sunni and Shi’ite leaders, and both agreed that a third party is involved.
Immediately, I thought of Blackwater’s involvement in the Sunni/Shiite war in Iraq. I then spoke with local media outlets and party leaders about Blackwater, and like I had predicted, they confirmed their presence. Blackwater is out there buying and recruiting terrorists. According to locals I spoke with, Blackwater is recruiting by offering money to poverty stricken individuals for carrying out missions. These recruits are completely blind to what they will commit. For example, a paid recruit could be assigned to deliver a package, that package would then automatically detonate along the way, successfully completing the mission. I spoke with former members of the Taliban, and they said, “These bomb blasts are not the work of Muslims willingly killing themselves along with hundreds of brothers, sisters, and children. Pakistan has been stained with bloodshed by the hands of Blackwater, Mossad, CIA, and Raw.”
The reason we have not heard much about Blackwater in Pakistan, is because journalists in the country are being silenced for speaking out. A recent example of this is that of Dr. Shireen Mazari, a respected journalist for The News and a defense analyst. Two months back, Dr. Mazari’s weekly column was censored when she exposed the presence of Blackwater mercenaries in Pakistan. According to Crescent Online, US Ambassador to Pakistan, Anne Patterson, accused Dr. Mazari of spreading “wildly incorrect” information that had “compromised the security of Americans.” I spoke with a journalist (for security purposes, he wished to remain anonymous) in Islamabad, Pakistan, about why journalists are being silenced. He said, “Saying the word ‘Blackwater’ is a crime for journalists, there is no code of conduct, they’ll either kill you or your family, it’s that simple.” He told me how Blackwater has supreme authority in Pakistan, because of the corrupt government. The so called ‘democratic’ government of Pakistan has been sold to the interests of the New World Order. There is no law or order coming from Islamabad. The politicians, the media, and the military officials are puppets being pulled by President Obama and his handlers.
President Obama once said, “I have great respect for the Pakistani people.” Murdering over 800 reported innocent Pakistani men, women, and children Mr. President is not respect. The media jumped all over the fact that we successfully killed leading Taliban militant, Baitullah Mehsud, but barely touched on the hundreds murdered along the way. D.I. Khan is now home to many of the surviving refugees from Waziristan. I had the opportunity to speak with these individuals about their situation and feelings towards this heinous crime. Hamid Abdullah, a refugee barely surviving, lost his wife and children in the attacks. In his native tongue, Pashto, he said, “America has been ruthless to us, they have killed our families and we have nothing left, but our faith in Allah. Obama believes his plan will succeed, however, in the words of the Holy Qur’an, Although they plan, Allah also plans. And Allah is the Best of Planners.” Abdullah and others currently live in refugee camps whose conditions are the worst of the worst.
What is the real reason behind this agenda to deteriorate Pakistan? In order to put the puzzle pieces together, let’s start by looking at what the media and our leaders are feeding us. To start off, PNAC signer, Richard Holbrooke, has urged the absolute necessity for passing the Kerry-Lugar bill, the 5 year $1.5 billion aid package given to Pakistan to help fight the so called “war on terror”. Furthermore, an article from the Huffington Post, reports that advisors to President Obama’s administration say their worst security nightmare is the possibility that Pakistan — a nuclear-armed country — might fall under the control of Al-Qaeda militants. Lastly, PNAC contributor Henry Sokolski, in an article, implies that Pakistani-Chinese relations pose a threat to the world, and that something must be done to suppress it. Further investigating these assumptions reveals a far larger picture from what they are showing us.
The Kerry-Lugar bill drafted by Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry and ranking Republican Richard Lugar, authorizes a grant of $1.5 billion annually for 5 years. The bill explicitly and falsely states that “Pakistan has been a nuclear proliferator; and that parts of its territories are safe havens for terrorist networks.” The bill gives President Obama the power to “develop a comprehensive interagency regional security strategy to eliminate terrorist threats and close safe havens in Pakistan, by working with the government of Pakistan — to best implement effective counterinsurgency and counterterrorism efforts in and near the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, including the FATA, the NWFP, parts of Balochistan and parts of Punjab.” In other words, the President of the United States’ power has now been extended to the different provinces of Pakistan. He may now make decisions for not only the US, but also for the sovereign state of Pakistan. The Kerry-Lugar bill will successfully end Pakistan’s sovereignty. The people are very angered by it, in fact it is known in Pakistan as the “document of surrender.”
Pakistan is one of the few sovereign nations with nuclear power and it has been increasingly evident that the globalists wish to suppress it. The media has created this false scare among the American public that the so called “terrorists” are living freely in Pakistan, and they will overthrow the deteriorating government and establish Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism. So therefore, America must invade Pakistan, and stabilize the situation, before the ‘terrorists’ get their hands on the nuclear weapons. An example of this would be Fredrick W. Kagen’s article for the New York Times, he writes, “As the government of Pakistan totters, we must face a fact: The United States simply could not stand by as a nuclear-armed Pakistan descended into the abyss.” The fact of the matter is, Pakistan is suffering the effects of a U.S. led war. Why invade a sovereign country that has neither threatened nor attacked the United States?
The next threat to the agenda for the New World Order lies behind the growth of Pakistani and Chinese relations. In order for China to sustain its status as the emerging economic superpower, it must take all the necessary steps required in order to have sufficient energy resources for the near future. According to Pakistani think tank, BrassTacks, Chinese interests in the Indian Ocean became visible in 2002, when they invested heavily and began work on the Gwadar Port, located in Baluchestan, a province of Pakistan. The Gwadar Port has its benefits for both Pakistan and China. According to Abdus Sattar Ghazali, executive editor for American Muslim Perspective, “The cost benefits to China of using Gwadar as the port for western China’s imports and exports are as evident as the long-term economic benefits to Pakistan of Gwadar becoming a port for Chinese goods.” Not only does Gwadar enable China to fulfill its energy needs, but it will also provide a strategic military footprint in the Arabian Sea, which has the United States worried.
In order to halt this, the globalists need to block China’s access to the Arabian Sea by way of Gwadar. According to BrassTacks, to do this, “there needs to be a ‘new Pakistan’ as indicated in Operation Enduring Turmoil.” Operation Enduring Turmoil is PNAC’s plan to disassemble Pakistan into three parts. According to a “game plan” drawn out by Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, in a 2006 article of the Armed Forces Journal, “Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier tribes would be reunited with their Afghan brethren [and] would also lose its Baluch territory to Free Baluchistan. The remaining ‘natural’ Pakistan would lie entirely east of the Indus, except for a westward spur near Karachi.” With this done, what was once the NWFP, a province of Pakistan, is now part of Afghanistan, and what was once Baluchistan, a province of Pakistan, is now its own state, Free Baluchistan. This would force China to impossibly go through Afghanistan and Free Baluchistan in order to reach the Arabian Sea. Such an arrangement would cut China’s route to the Arabian Sea. See the map below for a detailed summary of the plan.
Pakistan has become a product of the New World Order. The agenda has been outlined, and is in effect as we speak. The country has been invaded from all ends and the people have been silenced. My trip to Pakistan answered so many questions I had about the region. Seeing the destruction of Pakistan with my own eyes really blew me away. I realize that after Pakistan, they will move along to another region and continue their plan for a New World Order. What we see happen in these countries will very well happen here in America, some of which we have already seen. The destruction of these countries are not only accomplishing an agenda, but are also being used as testing grounds. We need to get out there and expose the New World Order agenda before it is too late. I hope my report answered questions that you might have had, and gave you a broader scope on what is actually going on in Pakistan. Keep fighting the New World Order and may god be with us all.

Sad, very sad.
It's a bad man's world.
with extraordinary claims
Look,
This article is light on corroborartion and heavy on claims.
It doesn't even show irrefutable proof that any Blackwater personnel are in Pakistan. That would be square one, if this was real journalism.
Now, I sm supposed to believe that a handful of Blackwater mercenaries control Pakistan? A nation with a military consisteing of "1,051,000 ... on active duty ... with an additional 528,000 people in reserves" ranked 7th in the world? With nuclear weapons?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Pakistan
The story strains credulity.
Can anyone actually show evidence that Blackwater is even in Pakistan at all?
According to...
This report, they're not. From what I understand, they do have something to do with the drone bombings in Pakistan.
Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? The facts speak for themselves.
I'd like to hear
Col lawrence Wilkerson comment on these claims. That guy is a straight shooter.
Here's another report...
That corroborates some of what's being said. Except they are also blaming the ISI.
Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? The facts speak for themselves.
Here's another...
Corroborating report.
Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? The facts speak for themselves.
Fort Hood shootings suspect may have wired money to Pakistan

Fort Hood shootings suspect may have wired money to Pakistan
09:05 AM CST on Thursday, November 12, 2009
By DAVE MICHAELS / The Dallas Morning News
dmichaels@dallasnews.com
WASHINGTON – Authorities have been examining whether Fort Hood massacre suspect Nidal Malik Hasan wired money to Pakistan in recent months, an action that one senior lawmaker said would raise serious questions about Hasan's possible connections to militant Islamic groups.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., said sources "outside of the [intelligence] community" learned about Hasan's possible connections to the Asian country, which faces a massive Islamist insurgency and is widely believed to be Osama bin Laden's hiding place.
Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, would not identify the sources. But he said "they are trying to follow up on it because they recognize that if there are communications – phone or money transfers with somebody in Pakistan – it just raises a whole other level of questions."
Much remains unknown about the 39-year-old Hasan, born in Virginia to Palestinian immigrants. He lived alone near the Army base in Killeen, Texas, and would sometimes use a neighbor's computer even though he had his own.
"With what I know about Hasan to date ... I would expect we will learn more about him that will make us concerned," Hoekstra said, "rather than information that says, 'Oh man, we got that all wrong and this had nothing to do with terrorism.' "
Mystery of money
Hasan's finances have been a mystery since last week, when the Army major and psychiatrist allegedly shot and killed 13 colleagues at the sprawling Central Texas military base. Hasan earned more than $90,000 a year and had no dependents, yet lived in an aging one-bedroom apartment that rented for about $300 a month.
"You can bet there is an ongoing, extensive investigation into every single financial transaction he made," said Matt Orwig, a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas who has no direct knowledge of the Hasan case. "Federal investigative agencies are very good at tracing the flow of money, both to him and from him."
Authorities know that Hasan sent repeated e-mails, starting some time in December 2008, to a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen. That cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, formerly served as imam of a large northern Virginia mosque where Hasan worshipped. The U.S.-born cleric praised Hasan after the massacre as "a hero."
In January, al-Awlaki told readers of his blog about "44 ways to support jihad" – a term often translated as "holy war." Many of his points dealt with ways to fund such efforts.
"Probably the most important contribution the Muslims of the West could do for Jihad is making Jihad with their wealth," al-Awlaki wrote. "In many cases the mujahideen are in need of money more than they are in need of men."
He also stressed the importance of "avoiding the life of luxury."
A spokesman for the U.S. Justice Department referred questions Wednesday to the FBI, which didn't return a message seeking comment. FBI officials have said they studied Hasan's communications with an unnamed radical Muslim and concluded they were a harmless part of his academic research.
Hoekstra said he wants to know whether authorities knew about Hasan's behavior when they decided his contacts with the Yemeni imam were essentially harmless.
"The conclusion based off just the e-mails might have been perfectly legitimate," Hoekstra said. "But if the [terrorism] analyst for some reason didn't have access to all this other information, that might be where the problem is."
'Strange, lonely guy'
Some of Hasan's former colleagues in the Washington area said his behavior raised red flags that should have been addressed. While pursuing a master's degree in public health, Hasan lectured a class about suicide bombers and the conflicts faced by Muslim U.S. soldiers fighting against other Muslims.
Doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, where Hasan trained and studied, questioned whether he was mentally unstable and a possible danger to fellow soldiers, according to National Public Radio. Discussions began in spring 2008 and continued over the next year.
"Put it this way," NPR quoted one unnamed source as saying, "everybody felt that if you were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, you would not want Nidal Hasan in your foxhole."
S. Ward Casscells, former assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, told The Dallas Morning News that Hasan had trouble connecting with patients and colleagues at Walter Reed.
"Doctors at Walter Reed I worked with say he was a strange and lonely guy who did not really earn the trust of his patients and fellow doctors," said Casscells, vice president for external affairs and public policy at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. "They attribute that to his personality, not to religious discrimination."
Despite concerns about Hasan, his views and his poor job performances, the consensus was to send him to Fort Hood after he finished his medical training, The Associated Press reported. Fort Hood was considered the best assignment for Hasan because other doctors could handle the workload if he continued to perform poorly, and his superiors could document any continued behavior problems, the AP quoted an unnamed military official familiar with the discussion as saying.
Family members said shortly after last week's rampage that Hasan opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, wanted out the Army and had sought legal advice. But Pentagon officials said they found nothing to indicate that Hasan formally sought to leave the Army, the AP said.
Even if Hasan had sought a discharge, the Army almost certainly would have denied it, senior Army officials told The Washington Post. Hasan had a continuing obligation to the Army because it provided his medical training and promoted him in May to the rank of major.
Colleagues and associates have described Hasan as a loner who voiced his opposition to the wars, including his assertion that Muslims were justified in fighting American troops. Hasan's family has said he became more distressed as he learned he was about to be deployed to Afghanistan.
"He is a kind of fundamentalist. He thinks a Muslim must defend themselves," said Golam Akhter, a civil engineer from Bethesda, Md., who said he spoke with Hasan on several occasions at the mosque where they worshipped.
He said he knew Hasan was a doctor but didn't know he was a member of the Army.
"He used to dress in long dresses just like Pakistanis, and that made me also concerned," Akhter said. "Usually only the imam uses those loose and long shirts and sleeves. That made me [wonder], being very educated, why he is using the imam's dress."
Hard trail to follow?
Matthew Levitt, director of counterterrorism and intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said wire transfers to Pakistan would be "extremely significant in terms of a potential network for this particular case."
Tracing money to Pakistan could be easy if Hasan used a formal bank or wire service. It would be more difficult if he sent money under another name or used an informal channel known as hawala that is popular in Pakistan and doesn't involve paperwork.
"If it turns out the person was radicalized to the point he was sending money to other insurgents or other terrorists, that takes it to another level still," Levitt said.
Been there myself
I was in Pakistan for 3 months last summer/autumn (during the Marriott bombing). First and foremost, Pakistanis are the MOST polite and friendliest people I ever met. No argument could sway me on this. Been a lot of places, but they are the tops. So to see the mess they are in is really really sad.
I was there not as a reporter nor businessman nor diplomat. I went on vacation... with my wife. We were backpackers. We traveled throughout the country, with neither guide, security, or in expensive hotels. We rode local buses, stayed in the cheapest accommodations we could find and usually ate street food. Again, the welcome we got was extrordinary in every sense of the word, and we were constantly invited to people's homes, out to tea, and even had things regularly given to us free. We even spent a week with a group we met at a mosque going on pilgrimage to a holy place about 24hours away by bus. (BTW, neither me or my wife is Muslim and they knew that, as well as the fact that I'm American) Under the word "hospitable" in the next edition of the Oxford dictionary, I would expect to see "see: Pakistani" as a suitable definition.
I take any reporting in the country with immediate pause. As the place is considered "most dangerous in the world" anyone with a official/business-related visit MUST stay in the swankest hotels, have a car and driver (possibly bodyguard too), and is not allowed to even eat in a regular restaurant, Their insurance won't allow it. Actually, we met a couple guys from the US and British embassies who had to "sneak out" of the 5star hotel they were suppose to be staying in in Lahore so that they could go see the concert we met them at. They gave us the scoop how, for insurance reasons, free movement was banned for all diplomats. This holds the same for most western journalists. So for this reason alone, any "reporting" will not truly reflect the "real" Pakistan.
Yes, when we got to Peshawar, stories like the author says above regarding the Mariott bombing (with US marines) were all over the place. True? I can't say, but they were indeed rampant. However, what was true was the utter frustration regarding the cross-boarder drone bombings (no mistaking who that was). Essentially, nobody trusts the media there, and for good reason. Aside from an obvious slant which paints their country as horrible (and therefore the people as evil, fundamental, psychotic, and anti-American), we also met some guys who were "hired" by CNN to act like Taliban back in 2001. (I doubted them until we watched their video together- nothing special, these guys just stood there as the reporter claimed that they were indeed Taliban)
Regarding China, well, everybody loves them, especially as you get closer to the Chinese boarder. The two countries have a pretty good relationship to say the least, probably better now that the US has bombed them so much. We crossed the boarder to China via the Karakorum Highway, which is a massive trans-Himalayan road project from the 1970s funded by China. While we were there, China was upgrading the entire Pakistani side- making it 50+ percent wider to allow larger Chinese trucks through (about 90 percent of the traffic on this road is cargo from China). Not only was this totally paid by China, they even brought their own workers. Many said there is a train line on the drawing board for this route, as well as a pipeline connecting Iran. (An interesting side note: some people we met said that this was China's Plan B - The original plan was to go via Afganistan's Wakhi corridor, but this got scuttled with the 2001 invasion) However given the seismic activity and number of landslides, I find any such project extremely difficult at best..
The author above suggests that it is the intention of the PNAC to split Pakistan to deflate China's prospects. This could be conceivable ON PAPER, but in reality, I think everyone, both NWO pundits and Mr Saad Ali here, have been staying in too many Hilton hotel coffee shops, and have failed to accurately gauge the pulse of the nation. Pakistani's are very very proud people. Proud of their Nation. Proud of their unity. And descent and respectful to eachother. To consider such a realignment would be ludicrous to any Pakistani, no matter if you are a critic or supporter of the government, a radical Islamist, a Kalashi tribesman, or Sufi dervish. Look at this map. Ceding Kashmir to India? Giving the Ishmali Nortern Territory (not NWFP) which holds the Karakorum Hwy to Afganistan? Hell, they went far enough to slice a big hunk off of always-eager-to-be-complacent Iran as well. Unrealistic pipe dreams like this are how some countries "supposedly" have WMDs, how facts are "slam drunks", and how one should expect the people of the country you are invading to be joyously welcoming you in the streets.
(IMO- Mr Saad Ali never visited the country.)
Article removed
I think that the article has been removed. I wasted my time translating it into Spanish. I realized my terrible mistake when I read your comments. This guy should explain this to us.
I put the word out to Saad.
I've been away from my computer for a couple of days, so I am just now seeing these interesting comments. I put the word out to Saad to see if he has a response.
With you in the struggle,

Armchair warriors often fail, we're poisoned by these fairytails
One other unmentioned thing about the Marriott bombing stories I heard while there. It was semi-officially stated how recently installed President Zardari was suppose to be at the Marriott that night for Iftar (evening meal during Ramadan) but changed his plans at the last minute (his spokesman made this statement, it was printed in papers and spread across the news, but Zardari soon after denied it). Who'd want him killed? Maybe the same people who killed his wife, Benazir Bhutto. Or maybe it was a message for him to toe the line in regards to being lockstep with the US? (he was quite vocal about being not very happy with US Afgan policy and the Waziristan drones). Or maybe it was retaliation from disgraced Musharaff? Again, such stories were widespread, and no one will ever know the truth. But now there are a couple dozen more bombings to speculate about.
But don't mistake what I am saying, the US media and the US gov are definitely whooping shit up over there, either on purpose or out of ignorance. The "reports", statements, and opinions I've heard in the past year about Pakistan are often so comically wrong or overblown, that I only see the tragedy of what such derision will ultimately sow. (probably to maintain our fears and justify prolonged US presence/military spending in the region... and to keep the evening news interesting) But to believe that it will culminate in a breakup of the country is utterly outlandish. The people have no desire for it.
And regarding the alleged PNAC plan: do people really make such plans not only expecting the locals to merrily go along with it, but also expecting no behind the scenes involvement from the Chinese? Are the Chinese assumed to be oblivious to espionage, influence, and altering things for their own interests? Do they think the once Sleeping Dragon is still hibernating? If so, then someone is definitely asleep, and they aren't in Beijing.

Hey Bruno,
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I dont have an account with 9/11 blogger, so i will give you a response to what i read below, could you forward it to the site?

First, Thanks for your response and feedback. I am glad that you went to Pakistan and saw first hand how the people are. They are extremely kind and hospitable. This was my 4th trip to Pakistan in the past 10 years, I am Pakistani myself, and i try to go whenever i can.

Pakistan has been made the most dangerous country in the world by the work of CIA, Blackwater, Mossad, Raw and NWO Pundits. Guys from US and British embassies are being protected? A diplomat told you this at a concert you went to? They gave you the scoop how, for insurance reasons, free movement was banned?
Free movement or No free movement, journalists, diplomats, or "guys from embassies" sent to Paksitan aren't there to report on the truth or to look for the truth. The ones sent are hand picked and are all puppets for the same agenda, and they are there for nothing more than maybe a photo op or some garbage story about the Taliban plotting to destroy the world. Taliban and Al Qaeda are NOT the threat in Pakistan, according to PUBLIC opinion, officials, generals, the list goes on. The only threat in Pakistan is CIA, Blackwater, Mossad, Raw and other agencies out to destroy the country. Reporting done by Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, Russia Today, and security consultant Zaid Hamid, to name a few, prove that blackwater is working to destroy Pakistan. There are former Pakistani generals and officials who have proved this as well according to Pakistani think tank Brass Tacks. Diplomats MUST stay in the swankest hotels, have a car and a driver with a bodyguard, cant go to a restaurant or leave the hotel; sounds like they put on a great show for these individuals. Another great way to instill fear to the rest of the world.
Honestly, i wouldn't consider myself a western journalist trying to find out the truth, I am a Pakistani trying to find out the truth. Anything coming from a mainstream western journalist is flawed. Finding the truth about what is going on in Pakistan, requires connections, something that western journalists don't have or could care less about b/c their script was written before they even hopped on a plane to Pakistan.
"Yes, when we got to Peshawar, stories like the author says above regarding the Mariott bombing (with US marines) were all over the place. True? I can't say, but they were indeed rampant. However, what was true was the utter frustration regarding the cross-boarder drone bombings (no mistaking who that was). Essentially, nobody trusts the media there, and for good reason. Aside from an obvious slant which paints their country as horrible (and therefore the people as evil, fundamental, psychotic, and anti-American), we also met some guys who were "hired" by CNN to act like Taliban back in 2001. (I doubted them until we watched their video together- nothing special, these guys just stood there as the reporter claimed that they were indeed Taliban)"
There are countless proven stories like that of the Marriot Bombing (with US Marines), that have surfaced not only in Peshawar, but all throughout Pakistan. If you actually visit damaged areas and talk to the people they will tell you the same thing. Why would friendly and polite Pakistanis kill one another? I know and spoke with individuals who are victims of the cross-border drone bombings. The media is corrupt, but not all of it. There are journalists who work very hard to reveal the truth, and have been very successful. Zaid Hamid, Ayaz Amir, and Shireen Mazari to name a few. Please do some research!
"Regarding China, well, everybody loves them, especially as you get closer to the Chinese boarder. The two countries have a pretty good relationship to say the least, probably better now that the US has bombed them so much. We crossed the boarder to China via the Karakorum Highway, which is a massive trans-Himalayan road project from the 1970s funded by China. While we were there, China was upgrading the entire Pakistani side- making it 50+ percent wider to allow larger Chinese trucks through (about 90 percent of the traffic on this road is cargo from China). Not only was this totally paid by China, they even brought their own workers. Many said there is a train line on the drawing board for this route, as well as a pipeline connecting Iran. (An interesting side note: some people we met said that this was China's Plan B - The original plan was to go via Afganistan's Wakhi corridor, but this got scuttled with the 2001 invasion) However given the seismic activity and number of landslides, I find any such project extremely difficult at best."
Maybe you misunderstood what i was trying to say, Pakistan and Chinese relations are GREAT!!! China funded Karakorum, Gwadar, and many more projects. Pakistanis and Chinese are great friends and work together all the time. When it came to nuclear power, the Chinese and Pakistani's worked together. That is what is exactly what is threatening to their agenda! China has America a bit worried with is growing military and economy, what do you think Obama is doing Asia? Indirectly stepping on China's toes by destabilizing Pakistan is just one of many reasons they are there. Please do some research!
"The author above suggests that it is the intention of the PNAC to split Pakistan to deflate China's prospects. This could be conceivable ON PAPER, but in reality, I think everyone, both NWO pundits and Mr Saad Ali here, have been staying in too many Hilton hotel coffee shops, and have failed to accurately gauge the pulse of the nation. Pakistani's are very very proud people. Proud of their Nation. Proud of their unity. And descent and respectful to eachother. To consider such a realignment would be ludicrous to any Pakistani, no matter if you are a critic or supporter of the government, a radical Islamist, a Kalashi tribesman, or Sufi dervish. Look at this map. Ceding Kashmir to India? Giving the Ishmali Nortern Territory (not NWFP) which holds the Karakorum Hwy to Afganistan? Hell, they went far enough to slice a big hunk off of always-eager-to-be-complacent Iran as well. Unrealistic pipe dreams like this are how some countries "supposedly" have WMDs, how facts are "slam drunks", and how one should expect the people of the country you are invading to be joyously welcoming you in the streets.
(IMO- Mr Saad Ali never visited the country.)"
I am not suggesting, i am proving that PNAC has an intention to split Pakistan to deflate China's prospects. Yes WE Pakistanis are very very proud people, proud of our nation, proud of our unity, and descent and respectful to eachother. The same way we Americans are proud of our nation, the same way all the people of different countries have that same pride for their nations. Do we want a North American Union, NO. As Americans, we would hope that pride would stop the agenda, but that's not going to stop them from pursuing what they have already outlined, which is a one world government. They have an agenda for America and like they have an agenda for Pakistan, pride or no pride, they will do what they can to accomplish it. Please come to reality, Pakistani's having pride for their country is important, but thats not stopping them from destroying their country. Iraq and Afghanitan are clear pictures of this. Blackwater, CIA, Mossad, Raw, and different agencies are in Pakistan for that very reason. If you have actually gone in those areas, you would see how they are crumbling the provinces. They are really trying to disunite the people of Pakistan. The NWFP and Balochestan have been targeted in particular. The Baloch people now want to secede and form their own nation. The NWFP is being destroyed heavily. Look up the redrawn map of the Middle East by Ralph Peters. Look up their plan to divide Pakistan.
Honestly, I'm not surprised you didn't realize this and therefore disagree, you trip to Pakistan backpacking as a tourist will not lead you very far in searching for what is really going on in Pakistan. Agree or disagree if i visited Pakistan, i do not care. My information is backed by documented facts, and supported by respected journalists and officials worldwide. Please do some more research.
Hopefully the video i will soon release will help you understand.
Thank You for your time,
Saad Ali

Good response
Wow, such a thorough response. As Mr Saad said, I was not there doing research, and can only comment on what I saw. The fact that he is Pakistani became clear with his courteous reply (other commenters at 911blogger should take note), and I apologize if he felt offended by anything I said. (though being a Pakistani who's visited several times paints the article in a new light, especially the first paragraph...)
Nonetheless, speculations about what is really going on are widespread, and the fact is that not every claim can be correct at the same time. (there is also the possibility that nobody is yet completely correct). I agree that much of the trouble is originating from outside the country, mainly from US instigation. And I'll even agree that PNAC pundits may have once dreamed up such a plan. I only called to attention that the likelihood of it actually happening are slim. Super slim. Yes, the NWFP and Baluchis probably now want more autonomy, even independence, mainly because Islamabad is kowtowing to the US too much while they suffer. But NOT the Northern Areas which boarder China. And to think that an independent Baluchistan would be a good thing for the US is a bit bizarre, unless the US wants another country to invade/occupy/spend money on. Thats a hell of a gamble (but alas, the powers that be have proven themselves major gamblers...)
As a Pakistani, I would ask Mr Saad what could be done to re-unite the people there? Generally, they are already united against any further involvement from the US, But could the PNAC plan actually materialize without further open and direct US involvement? Break up the country? Cede great swaths to Afghanistan, India, and a new Baluchi state? Would China sit idly by, and let their investments go quietly down the drain? Before that point, people would be livid, mercenaries would not be able to keep the cat in the bag any longer, and this may even spark another coup, similar this time to Iran's (in that it was against US imperialism).
Its a sad situation indeed. If the reality he's suggested holds true, then it will be years, decades, until the bombings stop, and a quiet cup of tea can again be shared.
"Please do some research!"
Ali's claims about Blackwater/CIA/NWO destabilizing Pakistan may be true, but as he's making the claims, and representing that he's done the research, he needs to back it up, if he wants people to give the claims credence. Madsen, Russia Today, "Local news agency NNI" and other media are cited- but there's no links- how about at least a date, and a way to verify this? Madsen's sensational claims are almost always anonymous. Some sources may only speak on condition of anonymity- but it would help to have more actual quotes.
Here:
"According to locals I spoke with, Blackwater is recruiting by offering money to poverty stricken individuals for carrying out missions. These recruits are completely blind to what they will commit. For example, a paid recruit could be assigned to deliver a package, that package would then automatically detonate along the way, successfully completing the mission. I spoke with former members of the Taliban, and they said, “These bomb blasts are not the work of Muslims willingly killing themselves along with hundreds of brothers, sisters, and children. Pakistan has been stained with bloodshed by the hands of Blackwater, Mossad, CIA, and Raw.”"
Now, this has a quote citing an anonymous 'Taliban', is giving some specific details, and is the realm of the possible- but is Blackwater or Mossad/CIA/Raw actually Identifying themselves to the recruits? Doesn't seem likely- so how do they know- simply cuz they're ruling out everyone else? Is this made up? That's also possible.
This here provides some names- but the date is "two months back"??? and no info is provided on how exactly "she exposed the presence of Blackwater"
"Dr. Shireen Mazari, a respected journalist for The News and a defense analyst. Two months back, Dr. Mazari’s weekly column was censored when she exposed the presence of Blackwater mercenaries in Pakistan."
And here:
"To start off, PNAC signer, Richard Holbrooke, has urged the absolute necessity for passing the Kerry-Lugar bill, the 5 year $1.5 billion aid package given to Pakistan to help fight the so called “war on terror”. Furthermore, an article from the Huffington Post, reports that advisors to President Obama’s administration say their worst security nightmare is the possibility that Pakistan — a nuclear-armed country — might fall under the control of Al-Qaeda militants. Lastly, PNAC contributor Henry Sokolski, in an article, implies that Pakistani-Chinese relations pose a threat to the world, and that something must be done to suppress it. Further investigating these assumptions reveals a far larger picture from what they are showing us."
Again, no links, dates, article titles, no documentation for the claims.
What does Ali mean by Holbrooke was a PNAC "signer"; he's not on the board or staff http://www.newamericancentury.org/aboutpnac.htm and he didn't sign the most famous document: Rebuilding Americas Defenses http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf
What HuffPo article?
What Sokolski article?
This article is mostly speculation and hearsay.

First, Thank you for the feedback, I hope the links below further clarify:

Not only do the Taliban but most of the people I spoke with in Pakistan agree that Blackwater and other agencies are responsible for these bombings. If you visit the link above that has the report by NNI, it talks about how the Taliban has blamed US Blackwater for a bombing in Peshawar. A surprising article by ABC, http://www.abcnews.go.com/WN/International/pakistanis-blame-us-taliban-t... , talks about how Pakistani's blame the US, not Taliban, for these bombings. Now, the next question is, How is Blackwater carrying out these missions? Who could be a better resource than the people living through that hell on a daily basis? So I spoke with average citizens, party leaders, former Taliban, professors, shop owners, and more, whom all asked to remain anonymous, about what they are doing, and how, what they are doing, is being carried out. What i said above is exactly what i was told.
The question of is CIA/Mossad/raw identifying themselves, of course not. These mercenaries are urdu speaking and can blend in very well, can they deceive? Of course, we have seen this occur in Iraq and in Afghanistan, no different.

Another great article by Kurt Nimmo does a great job describing the situation in Pakistan. I urge you to read it:

If you do a little more digging, you can find all the tools you need to search for truth.
I hope all that helped clarify things for you now, any other questions you can also email me on www.meetup.com/wearechangechicago.

some research...
I checked Ralph Peters and his map. Ex-military and current journalist who's polarizing positions on modern foreign policy endeavors seem to flip flop whichever way the wind blows (supported starting the Iraq war then thought Iraq war is futile; against surge but then says surge was good a idea afterwards, etc). He made a map in 2006 of a new Middle East, with the view that in a perfect world, boarders would be drawn with ethnic/religious characteristic in mind (as in, set up countries to minimize internal differences). People saw it as good on paper but utterly unrealistic to implement. (half of PNAC's NATO ally Turkey would vanish to a new Kurdistan, PNAC buddy Saudi Arabia would be diced up, etc). Hell, I could also draw up my own map of Europe with such lines (cut up Belgium, make a Free Basqueland, disolve Switzerland 3 ways...) but does that makes me a PNAC pundit? And with such a line of thought, one could even go so far as saying that Parker Brothers established the groundwork for the NWO several decades ago with their evilly simplified world map in the boardgame Risk.
Its clear that the Pakistani part of Peter's map was the base for the one Mr Saad showed above, with a bunch of oil pipelines superimposed on top. Take a good look at the one here. It says things like "herd energy towards Israel". Sounds more like a teenage neo-nazi hit piece. And you asked ME to do research? Why would Israel want/need all pipelines to end at its boarders? They use that much oil? And most of the proposed pipelines take very little of the terrain into account, as if entire mountain ranges didn't exist. "Turn Russians into junkies" Umm, is this suppose to be serious? I could go on, but won't.
I'll again agree that the US and others don't always help with stabilizing the peace of Pakistan, even contribute to a lot of the trouble, but sorry, taking it this far only adds fuel to the fire. The fire you say THEY started. Ridiculous suggestions like this map prey upon the foolishly ignorant and those who are easily manipulated due to honest frustration. Understandably, people are looking for someone to blame (it is a mess for sure), but sometimes they won't also point the finger at themselves as being even partially responsible. If anything, inciting further angst due to an unrealistic and out of context map is woefully irresponsible when dealing with a place which really needs some level heads instead.
