Simplistic ‘Solutions’

Since the introduction of George W Bush’s simplistic, reductionism, “you’re either with us or you’re with the terrorists,” the world has undergone a drastic regression into caveman politics and brute force international relations. It seems almost impossible to conceive that Bush’s moronic, divisionist statement would gain traction in the world, BUT it has – at horrendous cost to innocent civilians unfortunate enough to be in the way of US military expansionism and/or Oil (polluting) Corporations everywhere.

The US is currently waging ANOTHER illegal civilian killing war in Pakistan, without so much as a murmur from the UN and other bodies created to safeguard world peace and intervene in the criminal activity of nations – it should now be clear that ‘we the people’ are indeed on our own, but never forget there are BILLIONS of us!

Contributors to this site have been hammering the point (criminal government) home for years and warning that one day that criminal activity would affect the local population – well, over the past week, it has -- in no uncertain terms. The same (demented Bushite) binary logic has been applied by the FBI in order to raid the homes and places of work of ANTI-WAR activists in the US; and this is only the beginning.

Did you think for one second that a ruling cabal that slaughters millions of innocent civilians in needless wars would respect the rights of American citizens – dream on?

The assault on these activists, for exercising there moral and first amendment rights in opposing illegal wars and mass murder, is only the first stage in a plan to contract society into a type of Stalinist/Stasi state where everyone is completely alienated and too frightened to trust anyone else, thus making it easier for oppressive (criminal) State institutions to target anyone they wish – if you ever wondered what the cost of disunity is, you/we are all staring down the barrel of it – POLICE STATE -- now!

A fundamental question arises, do we VIGOROUSLY oppose these criminal cabals before they CENSOR, OPPRESS and/or eliminate all voices of opposition and protest or do we continue to do nothing and suffer the consequences? I would add, those who do not know how to fight may wish to review their status, as dying requires no lessons!

A word to our fellow citizens in Pakistan; surely with Mr 10% as President the criminal military incursions of America into sovereign Pakistani territory should come as no surprise! It may be time to retaliate on a national level, as dying is not considered to be a survival option – but don’t take my word for it!

NATO tankers destroyed in Pakistan

Suspected militants in southern Pakistan have destroyed at least 27 tankers carrying fuel for NATO forces in Afghanistan, officials said.

The attack in Sindh province comes a day after three Pakistani soldiers died in a cross-border air strike by NATO.

Pakistan has blocked supply routes for US and NATO troops in Afghanistan following the raid.

Hundreds of NATO supply tankers have been destroyed by militants in Pakistan over the last few years.

No-one has claimed responsibility for Friday morning's attack in the southern town of Shikarpur.

Police official Mir Ahmed Chandio told AP news agency that gunmen had opened fire at a terminal where the tankers were parked to scare away the drivers, before torching the vehicles.

This is thought to be the first incident of its kind in Shikarpur, which lies on the supply route for international troops in Afghanistan.

Previous attacks have happened in Balochistan and in the north-west, at Peshawar and the Khyber tribal region.

On Thursday, Pakistani officials said they had blocked supply routes to ensure NATO vehicles were not attacked by the Taliban in retaliation for the helicopter attack which claimed the lives of three Pakistani soldiers.

A queue of about 100 NATO vehicles was waiting to cross the border into Afghanistan on Thursday.

Taliban militants have carried out dozens of attacks across north-west Pakistan in recent months.
