and next morning we came to know that Al Baghdadi was eliminated by US special forces.
Now over a week we hear chatter about it...one General explains how it happened and then another US propaganda machine aka, CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes and Bezos blog WaPo all mentioning something about it...
But what stuck in my mind was wasn't Al Baghdadi their guy but lets back track should we even believe what US presidents says when we know that they:
and so
Epstien did a suicide
Building 7 came down because of fires
Iraq had WMDs
Russia Gate
Ukraine Gate
etc etc etc
The list goes on and on and on.
So lets debunk this latest lie.
We all know (well most of us except some kids who have a dog against everything Russian) skies over Syria are controlled by Russia. Russia has a de facto no fly zone over Syria. Its with their permission any flying object is permitted to fly.
Without permission they have 30 secs to take evasive measures because thats how soon an S400 missile would take to say hello to the poor soul. Based on that, Russians said nothing happened and we didn't detect anything. No explosions no firefight no nothing. Here is a report stating that:
No matter what, Baghdadi is dead (again). He chose wrong friends. He should have known history a bit better. That those people whom side he decided to be on have a history of betraying their allies and in the end as in the above report Ramzan Kadyrov mentions the folklore about Russian Cossack Taras Bulba:
I only bothered to hear Lavrov and Trump speech for all the right reasons. While Lavrov speech is very important as the saying goes in Russia listen to Lavrov otherwise you would have to deal with Shoigu, the Russian defence minister.
Trump speech is even more important. I think he is hitting at his local audience more than outside audience. The so called globalist swamp. However he addresses all the other clutter that is usually part of US president speech i.e
how cool US is
US is champion of freedom and democracy(ask from Iraqis their answer: head for cover)
Best military in the world
and etc etc etc
In my view Trump a deal maker has to add these points to keep floating in the swamp. Otherwise
We have to be very careful with our judgments. The honour killings should never be associated with proud Pushtun people who, for one never accepted uninvited guests in their homelands and fought and continue to fight for their freedom no matter what the cost. It is the same Pushtun people who didn't hand over an Arab blamed for 911 attacks only because he was their guest and demanded proofs from a hegemonic empire and took on all the bombs short of nukes vs their kalashnikovs and here we are today, they persist and having the last laugh...revenge is best served cold!
If you noticed I didn't say Taliban I said Pushtoons. I use the word Taliban with some hesitation as it is mixed with Pushtoon struggle to malign its name. However Pushtoon (Taliban) who came to power after defeating all the mega corrupt warlords in Afghanistan after Soviets left should have been more careful in understanding how to rule a country after achieving military victory.
I know pushtoons very well as I lived with some pushtoons from area very close to Kohestan Pakistan. They used to tell stories about their strict environment and Jirgas. That all sounded cool but what I differ with them is hypocrisy.
A good example of this hypocrisy became viral in mainstream media and in international media when a video came out where some girls were singing and clapping and their brother was dancing. As a result, possibly because of the reason that pushtoon women were exposed, all the people in the video have been killed or slaughtered.
To this terrorism and savagery intentionally given the name of following centuries old traditions however used to assert control over poor people, comes only one solution to my mind and it is this: When Mao during his long march would enter a village and find out how the village chief was mistreating the people, he would give the gun to the most vulnerable of all and and weakest of all person in the village and tell him to blow the chiefs head off. In my mind Kohestani people need a Mao.
A swarm of drones ___ as it is the sacred land of Arabia___lets call them "Ababeels" come from south or wherever (neither US Americans nor Saudi Arabians are able to figure out where did they come from)___but of course they came from Iran___ and take revenge of kids going to school and what a revenge! they do not kill their kids but hurt them at their most vulnerable part i.e. their black gold and in doing so take away the 5% of the world oil supply and oil prices increase a whopping 20%.
Yemenis a few days back showed off their new weapons
and Khamenei confirmed that they are supporting Yeminis and warned MBS et al. But if only the clown prince was really a worthy crown prince.
Rouhani had said if we don't export no one exports.
And so in the context of all this, Saudis, if they want to keep their Audis (low class trolling), have no option but to surrender in front of meagre Yemenis (Houthis) and pay huge reparations for this war and BTW next time make better decision in buying defence equipment not the crappy patriots especially when Putin himself is offering the "better" equipment:
Few days back we came to know that Putin offered hypersonic weapons to Trump as well. This is called high class trolling hahahahaha
12th of July 2019 I went for Friday prayers after a long time. This highly (un)likely event happened because a number of factors culminated in me ending up on that day and time to this local mosque in Canada. I was reluctant and I was hesitant. Consider it that Neo after all realizing that matrix is real still takes the blue pill! I was hesitant also as I had to further postpone my very urgent project of fixing the dresser drawers of my daughter who had told me a number of time and then had stopped asking me because she didn't want to disengage me from my other stuff. But this time I had to do it right away after finding how much difficulty this problem was giving to her as she was unable to rightly organize her things in a comfortable manner.
So I went and so the Friday sermon started, orated by a young lad with fine English and Canadian dialect. I really hoped and prayed that I get to hear something worth paying attention too because as a keen follower of geo politics where you get high doses of dopamine, when you read the next tweet from the Trump tower who is watching over a collapsing empire, to Russia selling S400 to Turkey and Iran shooting down US drone. So you are desensitized to anything of low intensity cheap humour or just small talk. It is like after cocaine you want heroine not hashish.
Being there I prayed (how ironic) for something useful as my little boy whom like my other children I am constantly shielding from what the crazy world is throwing at them by always making them think and critique what just doesn't make sense. And that raised the stakes by an order of magnitude as I hoped that he listens to something useful and something that doesn't impure his so pure humanistic thoughts and logical reasoning. But my worst fears came true.
The sermon started and pearls of wisdom started trickling one after the other. There were many but what struck as the last nail in the coffin was when he said something like this:
The first thing of all the things that Almighty made was a pen
the first thing
the very first
a Pen
And then he told the pen to write down everything that we see in this world
and the Pen wrote down as it was commanded to it (or him who knows)
Pen wrote down everything each and every detail
every minute detail
detail about what will happen
So dear fellows everything is written
whatever you do in this world is written
your coming to mosque was written (lol at that moment he directly addressed me I guess)
something good happen it is written something bad happen it is written...
It went on and on but what this young lad in his fine English was trying to get to was that if something bad happens. It happens because it is written and there is will of Almighty in it. So you should not despair and should not go astray.
I came back finished the remaining work of fixing my daughters furniture and thinking and pondering and wondering if other people were thinking the same...but doesn't matter I just looked at heavens and Lord and I both rolled our eyes.
But my day ended on a good note I met my father and told him the story and he promptly conjectured in punjabi "tu Odey kole bedha sein".
Couple of days back I was on my way to drop off my daughter to her school. For the past 3 years this has been my morning ritual. I get in the car turn on CBC metro morning hosted by Matt Galoway and start zigzagging and cursing and honking and violating right lane exit only and also showing V signs, taking way from schmucks to giving way to deserving and smart people.
Matt Galoway is amazing...and Ana Maria Tremonti, who comes after him sucks!...she is so full of herself and so full of her empty Canadian hoopla. Matt though is different story I feel with him in good company and I think whole Canada respects him and feels the same.
As we know we are now deep into Ramazan and Matt invited a Muslim restaurant owner who was giving free food to anyone who came to him. Matt starts with laying a field of roses for him. I do not remember the exact words but it was something like this: so tell us why are you doing this? It must be because for muslims it is a time to reflect and helping others and sharing and festivity. This must be why you are giving free food.
This was a perfect setup for Muslim Mr restaurant owner and he could have built on this premise and so I eagerly waited for an answer bringing 80% of my perception sensors to listen to the answer and that was very risky as those perception sensors are usually needed to avoid all the driving mistakes of my own and of others usually lady drivers and sometimes of some weird ass holes in their Tercels, Versas and CRVs and who are trying to navigate to their clerical jobs in well banks and insurance companies.
But only if wishes were horses, beggars would ride! The muslim Mr restaurant owner says
"O no its not that we do fasting so we could feel how hungry feel when they are hungry....
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No.
I can debunk this myth with one single question:
Does it really take you to become hungry in order to feel how hungry feel?
In fact a 2nd one if fasting makes you feel how hungry feel when they are hungry, do you feel how rich feast when you break your fast?
Well I will add another one FYI: why there are hungry in the first place?
But this is all the explanation given by 99.9999% Musalmaans of the world.
So Mr restaurant owner giving free food to the needy, and all the other Mr and Ms Muslims let me explain the purpose of fasting
Fasting is a tradition
Fasting is for health reasons
Fasting is to make your routine in sync with nature: you rise up with the sun rise and you finish up your day with sunset
Fasting is a must only for those to whom only health allows!
For the last one let me take it to the next level if your health allows you to fast for one meal that's a fast too (wink wink thats me these days), if it allows for two meals with minimum food intake so your head doesn't go bonkers when you are doing your labour intensive or even less intensive day routine.
and lastly fasting is a month of festivities so go crazy in partying!
So there you are: Be wise Muslims it is very important especially when you are given a chance to speak :(.
So Najam Sethi did a very important analysis where he discussed macro geo political situation surrounding Pakistan.
The very situation, about which Zardari also has hinted often in his interviews the "international situation" and probably one of the reasons he is quite happily watching Mr Khan fail in every step he is taking. When I see IK now I see a totally uninterested chap who is longing for good old days. He is a hostage of his title so careful what you wish for. See here how he shakes hand with this IMF Chief, "a lady" enough said:
I am pretty sure establishment must be wishing for BB now to get them out of this quagmire!
But I get distracted, Sethi Sahib quiet openly explains the dire situation Pakistan has gotten itself into and it gives tremendous pain for someone who was born there and spent a precious time of life, looking at what awaits Pakistan and how foolishly Pakistanis have sleep walked into a mess for which only them are to blame.
In my opinion the situation that Pakistan right now facing, is directly related with the over all lack of understanding and lack of right education and not judging things on reason and logic especially of the educated brass. One of the great example of that is that we believe in things like Jesus 2nd coming and the big Ghazwa -e-Hind. Enough said no more examples needed.
Even in this case, this interview, gives some pointers about the thought process of the 99% populace in Pakistan. This is first of all apparent from the emotions, appearance and occasional one word analytic additions by Osama, Najam Sethi host.
Though Osama is overall doing a great job in interviewing Sethi as he lets him complete his sentences and that gives a good flow of the interview but in this particular instance (I am dissecting this interview due to its particular importance in my view) at one occasion he says something that reflects a peculiar psyche and the thought process of that 99% populace of Pakistan and that I explain now. In the interview at one point Sethi mentions that in Venezuela there is a leftist government. To that Osama interjects with the word communist, but Sethi quickly corrects well leftist and they move on. I am pretty sure with that, Sethi understands he doesn't know what communist/communism is. This is for me a big billboard about Pakistan: In Pakistan people think left is communism and communism means those how are atheists and full stop. A general stupidity of folks in Pakistan. As we proceed Osama is spell bound hearing the gravity of the situation and he ends the program with a little prayer for the survival of Pakistan. I think he is right in that a little prayer now is the only thing we can do about Pakistan.
Similarly in one of my whats app group a member posts a video of a person where this person is stuck for the last 6 hours in a traffic jam and ultimately Pakistan army comes and manages the situation and traffic starts flowing again and he is justifying that with a rant that all civilians are inefficient and its the army that are the best people and everyone who thinks otherwise is Phen-ke-Pinney (a slur that i can feel what it means but don't know what it means as I myself have heard it first time). However, I thought, dude when army is controlling the whole country it was in fact inefficient on their part that it took them 6 hours to come and fix the mess! And I unwittingly continued with the slur PhenkePinney lol.
But why is this important?
Reason and logic are very important as they help you decipher the situation and bring out the truth from a pile of lies. 99% of people in Pakistan are sold some crap in mosques and schools that they keep buying no questions asked.
This quagmire that Pakistan is into now is a result of many decision that were not based on reason and logic. For example sometimes it was mistake of not having good relations with Soviet Union, because well they were communists and all the communists are atheists, which for some reason is a biggest Gunnah that easily translated to Zia ul Haq becoming hand in glove with yankees and helping mujahideen! This amazing theory made perfect sense to many in Pakistan.
After Soviets withdrew it was the strategic depth with the help of Taliban that culminated in a U turn and stabbing the very Taliban in the back and helping yankees in attacking Afghanistan.
Sometimes it was hijacking elections to sometimes it was murdering your prime ministers. It is for this reason Osama does not understand the difference between left and communism and it is for this reason the guy stuck for 6 hours in traffic praises the military that is 6 hour late in managing the traffic and it is for this reason Pakistan cannot come up with a right choice going forward.
Ah the right choice forward!. While it is understood that there are not enough good enough examples to look at and learn or copy from as countries like South Korea, Japan and Germany do not have an independent foreign policy and have to obey their masters in Washington. But yet there is one example of country that we can easily imitate and that is North Korea.
Lets see how. North Korea may be the most sanctioned country in this world, but yet they do not have to go to IMF. They must have devised ways to survive and trade for sure takes place via many hidden channels.
This is the view of North Korea at night from space. When I see this I see nothing wrong with that. If you want to conserve energy you better get your work sorted out during day light. Then North Korea has based her survival on Nuclear deterrence and this is why they are not willing to give up their nukes especially to yankees whom Russians call as "not agreement capable" people. This is how they continue to survive as by doing so there expenses to run a country are bare minimum and no amount of sanctions can alter their will and subdue their resolve. In fact all the countries who achieved Nuclear deterrence have done that and now all their research in defence is in R&D to develop new weapons only to export to other countries.
Pakistan is in much better position than North Korea. For a long time Pakistan was a net exporter of grains fruits and vegetables. We are and were an agrarian society. We have to get back to that. We do not need nice cars and cool electronic gadgetry we gotta stop all these foolish imports and become self sustaining in food and agriculture.
As for defence we have nukes. When Pakistan did the nuclear detonations, Dr A Q Khan the founder of Pakistan Nuclear Bomb said the defence of Pakistan is now impregnable. That was the moment for the citizens of Pakistan to stop the foolish arms race and expenditures on defence. Convert the 80% armed forces to reserves and save 80% expenses in this way. spend the remaining 20% on on duty personnel and on R&D to deliver nukes if and when need be. This is the nuclear deterrence doctrine on which North Korea has based her survival
This is the only choice we are left with to avoid begging to IMF for few million dollars and by doing so be the scum of international community.
This is though too far fetched to wish for. The consequences of the over all lack-of reason and logic has reached its critical mass and now Pakistan will be kicked around by the street thugs in the endgame that has already started and so sitting here from far away I will watch with great pain how the end game of Pakistan unfold and how Pakistan self destructs.
Taliban will not listen to Pakistan for one simple reason they have nothing to lose. IMF will only give some petty cash to Pakistan unless Pakistan agrees to supporting and agreeing to American demands related with Afghanistan and Iran and they in my view are destined to attack Iran. This is about their, Americans own survival. They cannot have a country like Iran dictate terms to them and they cannot have China succeed with their belt and road initiative. By Attacking Iran they will extend maybe for few decades their empire and contain China. Pakistan is just scrap material that would be recycled to build some new useful product. This is the reality and i am not saying that Najam Sethi is saying that and what is left for Pakistan is to say a little prayer and hope for the best. Meanwhile I am going to watch the Endgame.
I wrote about some of the most evil women America is blessed with but where there is evil there is good and good always "Trumps" evil.
America no doubt has many brave women but lately these three women are spearheading the resistance against the most powerful mafia in the world, called the US government . Solutes!

I remember well in dec 2017 a terrorist attack by ISIS was foiled in Saint Petersburg Russia by the Russian GRU (the renamed KGB). The most interesting part was that the Putin thanked CIA in a call to Trump as they tipped them off for this.
2017 was the year when Russian SUs and Kaliber cruise missiles were making minced meat out of the ISIS and many were scurrying away into neighbouring countries including Russia.
There is no secret that ISIS is a CIA creation. Proof abound lets not waste time on that (Hillary Clinton personally managed the transfer of weapons from Libya to Syria.)
So CIA=ISIS meaning they aborted their own operation!
Thank you indeed!
We all know that suicide attacks are the main weapon of choice for ISIS and in the past 10-15 days much has happened in South East Asia:
a suicide attack in Iran kills more than 2 dozen soldiers
Saudi Arabia and gulf states are bankrolling Pakistan economy
a similar suicide attack kills over 2 dozen soldiers in Kashmir
Its the economy stupid:
For me this is all related to failing capitalism. It is no secret also how US makes money out of wars:
US Banks/Corporation--need->WAR/Chaos--created by->CIA--together with->Saudi Arabia--provides foot soldiers->Wahabi Islam--->ISIS--->suicide bombings--->War/Chaos--Profit->US Banks/Corporation
or: see this
After 2008 crisis it has been 10 full years and as Marx describes how the economic crisis cycle repeats in a capitalist economy.
and so
2000 market crash: the dotcom crash
2008 market crash the real estate crash
2018 ...
2019...
so in 2019, we are now overdue!
If you look at major economies they are all slowing down:
USA: Major issues with debt and an overall slow economy and hence the trade wars. Fracking is failing and this is why the US now wants to invade vulture Venezuela to stay in business
China: a slowing economy
Europe is deeply political and financial troubles.
The US is the most vulnerable country in the world right now and it is on artificial life support (QE i.e printing money i.e bonds sale). US has a huge MIC that relies on a permanent war.
To avoid the coming economic collapse US want to delay it by triggering a war somewhere but the problem is that US has run out of soft targets. Venezuela provides them that opportunity. In view of that Putin has hinted of another Cuban Missile crisis so things may not be that easy in Venezuela as well.
India and Pakistan unintentionally may provide them that trigger and interestingly suicide bombing of Pulwama style have all the hallmarks of ISIS=CIA!. The 2 most stupid countries in the world may help out to bring the much needed chaos! I call them stupid as they ultimately will play in the hands of other bigger powers. They both are also stupid because both are nuclear powers and yet India for some unknown reason spends a gazillion amount on purchasing conventional weapons and Pakistan spends 80% of its borrowed money on defence (a misnomer for war). Damn it!
Some afterthoughts
India's Objectives: As they openly stated: to Isolate Pakistan, but terrorist Modi cannot see beyond his nose and so doesn't understand that Pakistan right now is battle hardened country and China will not let them just have a walk into a country where they are investing 50 Billion dollars! Another miscalculation that Modi may have done was that by sending in the antiquated MIGs they may bolster Iran too to make the so called preemptive style raid. Again Modi should understand that Iran plays a game that brings Americans (whom you seem to copycat) to their knees! They don't take others bait they strike at time and place of their own choosing.
Pakistan Objectives:
Establishment, establishment, establishment and Modi is a God sent gift that keeps on giving
The only problem that Pakistan has that Saudis are bankrolling their economy and they in the end may ask for their services against Iran.
Last but not least
Both countries have more or less deescalated. Nuclear deterence works. From this day on if both nations are wise they should cut down their armed forces and defence budget to maybe 5 percent of the 100% that is needed for research and development of delivering the Nukes to targets and 5% of personnel who are needed to fire the rockets if the doomsday ever arrive other than that from this day on no one should ever take them seriously as all they are doing is trying to explain why they (the security establishment) are needed. The people of the two nations should understand that all this drama is FAKE and so should not fall for it and rather keep focus on day to day important struggle against this very tyranny.
So MBS came to Pakistan for 2 days. MBS is the designate King of SA. If someone wants to understand the nature of MBS one should go back to the times of Prophet Muhammad when Prophet Muhammad starts to point out the degenerate ways of the society and governance and being himself from an elite family in a nut shell "orders" them to stop the nonsense. The society which consists of the Quresh tribe basically tells him go take a hike or else. Muhammad being Muhammad the prophet of God tells them o really try that. And so the Quresh put a price on his head.
MBS my dear readers has the same lineage who told Muhammad to go take a hike or else and who wanted Muhammad dead. If someone thinks that they converted and became nice human beings then they wasted their lives living as muslims. They converted and became even worse than before as they became hypocrites and to understand hypocrites one should read Quran which is full of distinction between a hypocrite and a non hypocrite.
But lets get back to MBS Pakistan visit and do some mental gymnastics.
I am a great proponent of talking to your enemies that is why I always supported IK call to talk Taliban or even Al Qaeda. This was demonstrated by the great chief boss, tsar of modern Russia the one and only Vlad Putin when he brought to table ISIS, SDF, and whole marmalade of other acronyms and so excluded the one who never wanted to talk, and Kalibered the crap out of them.
Just like IK or Pakistan government received MBS, Russia received King Abdullah with all fanfare and that was that. (All Putin had to say to him Nyet LOL as the dying king wanted him to stop supporting Asad in exchange of some pretty nice bribe)
Here is something we know about MBS:
Trump told him you cannot survive without us for a week
He is know to have visited Israel
Israel is selling spy and cyber ware-fare equipment to them
SA has allowed the use of its airspace if they decide to attack Iran
MBS bought a a Russian Tycoon 440ft yacht for $452 million dollars while vacation in the south of France and while promoting austerity at home (hypocrite aye)
MBS recently personally ordered to butcher Khashoggi and
But this is all ok as this has nothing to do with Pakistan. The thing to do with Pakistan is that
Sauds are fighting for their survival. MBS could well be the last Saudi King (wealth and dynasties do not last beyond third generation: Ibn Khaldun) and so here comes Pakistan and what Pakistan has is Nukes.
Yes Sauds want Nukes in return of the $20billion that they are promising and for a number other alms they have extended towards Pakistan.
2020 could be a turning point in the history of the world. As I am writing this world economic situation hangs in balance and a worldwide recession of epic proportions is threatened by the state of the US economy. Here is a simple equation that should alarm anyone.
US debt X = 22 Trillion dollars
US GDP Y = 19 Trillion dollars
B=Bankrupt
X > Y= B
Yes, the US is bankrupt. The only way they are surviving is through issuing bonds that other countries buy and so the US debt keeps increasing. To keep this system running the US has to
keep global trade in USD to keep USD as a reserve currency.
This is though increasingly becoming difficult as the US has done enough to make sure other countries don't trust her the examples abound but some are:
The failed conquest of Iraq
The failed conquest of Libya
The failed conquest of Afghanistan
The failed conquest of Ukraine
Breaking the Iran deal and constant threat of conquest of Iran
The new threat of conquest of Venezuela (Also much needed to keep petrodollar alive i.e to keep dollar reserve status)
This is why many countries now want to move away from USD and are making new alliances
This is the story out of the borders of the USA. The factors that are affecting US Americans inside the border are:
Clinton globalization
911
911 made America a police state and Clinton globalization made America jobless. On top of that America is now reeling with identity politics and racial divide. America is now a nuclear-ticking bomb. Many riots are not reported and poorly covered over MSM. The biggest divide that can be seen is between the neo-liberals fake lefties and between idiot conservatives like proud boys.
As elections come closer we will see more and more riots and they can turn into a full fledge civil war, no matter who wins the elections. The economic situation at the same time gets cooked and the debt bomb may explode.
But here is a problem America is not Afghanistan where a civil war is going on for the last 50 years. America is armed with over 15000 nuclear weapons and every citizen is armed to the tooth with some kind of weapons.
It is, for this reason, I think just like after the end of WWII USSR, UK, and the USA represented by Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt decided the fate of the rest of the world. Russia China and Iran (LOL) should now sit down and decide the fate of the USA. A division of the USA on a similar model as the division of India should be done and resolve the problem that is called the USA the world is facing now.
If there is a high profile family who may have suffered tragedy after tragedy Bhutto family could top the list.
Bilawal Bhutto is the heir of Bhutto Dynasty and he seems to be doing a good job if you listen to his interviews. However, no matter how huge the task is in front of him or the burden of leading a party and then a nation, a smiling Bilawal seems to be almost washing it off! I think the smile percentage is way more than normal and should be brought down or totally removed
I find it a bit odd and for me, this doesn't add up. A mere thought of the history of Bhutto family makes you cringe. And there he sits and making his points with smiley face mostly at the end of sentences.
I do not recall BB or ZB smiling like that. They were always serious.
My request Bilwal Bhutto control your smile. Even if you never have to smile that would also be ok.
HRK and IK the facebooking faces of Pakistan (fauj) provide only a single advantage over other stupid Pakistani politicians and i.e charm offensive of a pretty face.
Other than that they are as good as any other Bhutto or Sharif for them (The Honorable armed forces of Pakistan).
I at least see this and everyone else should take this analysis at facebooking value.
This rings some bells with the philosophy of cricket diplomacy.
Pak fauj (ko salam) has some pretty meany ways of doing things and just like cricket diplomacy where Pakistan team was always dominant not only with some tall alpha males smashing the helmets of minnows Gavaskar and Sirkand et al but also getting headlines for hanging banging out with pretty faces of Bollywood actresses. Hina Rbbani Khar and Imran Khan offered and offer (respectively) pretty faces to dominate and provide the charm offensive.
I call the Yonge and Elgin Mills intersection the ugliest intersection on planet earth. see for yourself:
Traffic Jam on Elgin Mills and Yonge.
Maybe I am bit too hard on this particular one, most of the GTA or North American big cities intersections are like that.
Add to that, GTA and York Region in particular where I live have some of the obscene architecture in the world. A frequent sight: strip malls.
Businesses closing down, an empty building represent the story of Capitalism
Another piece of artsy GTA architecture
apart from the ugly architecture, ugly cars add to the problem. People on the roads are roaming around showing each other fingers in some of the ugliest vehicle colours and designs that have undergone hours and hours of research how to make them more and more economical and more and more profitable see for your self and now when you sit in them a new Acura is not much different than new BMW and new Benz is not much different than a new Lexus.
Look at that civic does those ugly C represent Civic!
These lights really make me look the other way
Walking or driving on roads should be a rewarding experience where you can appreciate and satisfied and not be depressed
If you look at Canada one thing for sure comes to mind. The 2nd largest country in the world. Its population is a little less than 40 million people. Canada is 4 biggest resource-rich country in the world and that includes uranium, timber, oil, phosphate, and gas. The total value of these minerals is $33.2 trillion dollars.
Canada is also a leading technology innovator and inventor country. The revenue from technology for Canada is icing on the cake.
This is why I conclude that someone in the high ups has some questions to answer. A quick conclusion is someone is swindling big time.
If Canada wants to project herself as a shining city upon a hill then it should really come up with something to show otherwise this modular architecture is even unsustainable due to ever-looming threat of financial meltdown debt crises and the oil crisis all of which are needed to sustain the modular construction industry.
Update
while on a visit to an adjacent town to GTA Keswick ON, we found these traffic lights that have some design to them. This is a good example of how a little effort can tell a lot about the city designers. They grab the attention and not an eyesore like other bland ugly traffic lights on Canadian roads.
There are many things in politics and state affairs that are not understood by a common person. In my view it is very important to understand everything that is going on around you as this helps you see through things and not be fooled by lies and ultimately not get deceived, because the macro level deception has its negative affects that trickle down to low level everyday deception.
Being informed and aware mostly is not possible because you are not the participant of the plans being hatched at higher level and so cannot figure out those plans. Once the event has happened you try to connect the dots and many times become the victim of lies and propaganda and consequently get manipulated in anyway possible. Being manipulated is not a good feeling as you feel as a stupid low level schmuck LOL. But i have a way out for those who feel stupid or have been stupid and care a little bit to fix that situation. The solution comes in two ways that if you start focusing on will help you connect the dots and be a smart cookie. Those are:
Knowledge of history
Cui Bono
Knowledge of history
As Marx said:
History repeats itself first as tragedy second as farce.
In order to connect the dots of current geopolitical events one has to have a deep understanding of history. If you have a deep knowledge about Greeks, Romans, Arabs etc etc you can easily relate what is happening now or is going to happen to what happened to them and make a pretty good prediction
But not many of us including myself are avid readers and reading volumes and volumes of history books is not possible. For those people I bring in a short cut and that is my 2nd point Cui Bono.
Cui Bono
Cui Bono or who benefits can be fitted to any political situation. Whenever something happens and it is difficult to connect the dots ask the question Cui Bono and you will be able to see through things. Lets have some example of Cui Bono.

WWII ended in 1945 and people now talk about the dangers of another war, WWIII breaking out and the end of the so called human experiment. In my view WWIII started right after the defeat of Germany in WWII. The powers who were fighting in world war II though "possibly" realized that any more continuation of war in their territories would make them mostly extinct and decided to move the war "business" away from their borders.
I can count possibly 10 wars from top of my head after the end of WWII but look at this list.
I call this list WWIII and give it a period of 1945 - 2018
2018 is the year when Syrians with the help of Russia, Iran and Hizbullah defeated the empire and its cronies. Although operations are still continuing but mostly the fate of ISIS and associates is sealed.
Just like Stalingrad changed the course of WWII, Syria turned the course of WWIII. Stalingrad was that strategic loss from which Germany never recovered. After that it was a matter of time.
Though Syria is different in one way. The empire hasn't given up the ambitions to neutralize Syria this is because the Syria is an ally of Iran and Russia and so must be taken out of the way before the campaign of regime change begins for Iran and Russia and if ever it achieves that it would be the start of WWIV
Putin is a name that we have been hearing since the start of 20th century. In the beginning it was Rasputin and now it is just Putin. If the killing of Rasputin gave us Soviet Union, the resurrection of Putin gave us modern Russia. A lot has happened in between (in particular: WW1, 2 revolutions, WW2 and the collapse of Soviet Union) and Russians learned a lot. With such an eventful history you better do.
But lets just take a moment and rewind back from Rasputins era Russia to the Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. Early 90s Russia was a mess. Gorbochevs Glosnosts and Perestroika it seemed were all about eating McDonalds and wearing crappy Levis jeans and the avoidable (as per Putin) collapse of Soviet Union just added to this. Petty crime prostitution, Mafia vodka and lots of vodka were the currency of the country. Mafia killings were widespread, a drunk president a war was unleashed in Chechnya and apart from that brain drain and precious stealth of know how at price of Marlboro cigarettes. In politics a civil war raging between political groups. Russia was bleeding profusely. This continued till the end of last century when there is a resurrection of name Putin.
By the start of 21st century Russia is handed over to Putin, a former elite KGB agent and how he receives is for another day but he receives a messed up country, which he slowly starts to fix. He slowly takes a handle on things and things in Russia start coming back to stability. However Russians tired of their isolation are very pro west. They want to be associated with them and they never miss an opportunity even in cases where it could have been better for Russia to opt for a different course based on the interests of Russia. This goes back to age old Russian desire to be part of Europe. Peters reforms are a great example from the history of Russia. This is why Russia doesn't oppose NATO expansion as they could or should have and Russia looks away when US attacks country after country.
However there comes a twist in Russian story and this twist wakes up Russian bear from its long hibernation with a big jolt and the world stage suddenly becomes a fair playing field. This twist comes when a coup takes place in Ukraine and an elected government by the blessings of the Empire of Chaos is removed and is seen distributing cookies:
No matter with whom you would trigger a political discussion and about the then (Soviet Russia) and the now Russia, loss of Ukraine resonated among all. Ukraine was a loss that Russians were most sad about. Russians got over the cruel break up of Soviet Union but they couldn't get over the loss of Ukraine. However they were living with this new reality as after all Ukraine was still pro Russia so Ukraine was the red line that Putin or Russians could never let the Nato hagemons to cross.
With that cookies distribution it does happen and brings the whole Russia into a common stance of supporting all means possible to fix this. There is though one issue Russians are very tired of wars they don't want war. But Putin being a master strategist understands more than that. he understands that Ukraine after all is a bait that is given to Russia to initiate the war and be the aggressor. Putin doesn't take that bait instead takes Crimea and brings the situation to a stalemate.
West though doesn't settle on that and starts its evil plans for Syria and then comes the famous speech from Putin in which he says a a definite Nyet.
In the next couple of days we see a few SU-35s that change the course of war that is in the stages of winding down as of now. However the neocons and war mongers are not giving up but that for another post.
Since Russians woke up they have been trying to bring Americans to reality too...they want to tell them they don't want war but if the war is inevitable they are ready for it.
I will conclude by saying our age old saying that they have their plans and God has his plans and no doubt God plans win. Maybe God plans in the form of Putin's laugh:
Or possibly Putin is just saving his Ass. In anyways we should be thankful to Putin for his Nyet and putting a stop to the blood sucking evil dracula Empire.
We are living in a interesting world. I was an avid movie goer. I would not miss a beat when a movie would come out of for example Di Cario, or Clint Eastwood. But then Ukraine happened and for me that was the Geo Strategical cataclysmic nightmarish earthquake and I started following the international politics that provided me all the entertainment I needed. When you have real life drama unfolding around you enormous proportions there is no need of fake identity politics and metoo influenced Hollywood.
Before Ukraine though United States was involved in a number of other wars: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syiria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan and many other places.
The connection of US wars with US economy is open secret. Eisenhower warning about MIC is easily available over internet:
For this industry to keep in business a war theatre has to be running. So far this is the obvious reason. But I am going to tell about another reason because of which United States will keep fighting unjust wars and that is Capitalism.
When we talk about capitalism, you also find Marx peeking from far away and smiling with a big I told ya. Here is an amazing 101 about what Marx taught about capitalism:
Richard Wolf gives a voila explanation about how a capitalist economy solves the problem of people not able to buy goods with highly inflated prices and bringing the economy down by generating debt.
Now we have all pieces of the puzzle to answer the question why US of A needs war to keep the system running. See, a debt is created against something and that is called collateral. Whenever United States attacks and occupies a country all the plundering starts and in good language the US mega corporation come in and start exploiting the resources. They are there for them for free. Those resources act as collateral for the banks to issue debts and so US economy and American dream carries on.
However if you scan across the map of the world US has now attacked pretty much every country on the planet and the only countries remaining are with the increasing order of difficulty, Iran North Korea and Russia and once these good people fulfill this pipe dream of castrating Russia or installing a drunk stooge such as Boris Yeltsin the Yankees empire possibly can last for another millennium. Such vast resources are a must have for this prophecy to fulfill.
So dear readers any news about withdrawal of troops from Syria or Afghanistan you should only smile and pass on. As they are there to get Iran and after Iran the ultimate target Russia (North Korea can now be delayed). Now here there are 2 possibilities 1 They are sane and the sane people will dominate and bring all the troops home NATO will be dismantled and America would become a normal country that continues giving us hollywood block busters. The 2nd is that the continue on the crazy route of world domination (finding collaterals to issue debts) and continue their wars. In both cases for some it would be the end of American dream and possibly the 3rd option is if we are going down lets take the whole world down.
For us as regular citizens it is important to understand as it makes all the universities degrees importance zero all the bank balances importance to zero and all that matters is that you survive the apocalypse and how you prepare for that I leave it up to you.
