Iraq: The Hidden Facts

"Bush does not respect his own people and we believe that because he knows that a political solution will not be reached with the Iraqi Resistance, he will leave to democrats a heavy burden by the time he leaves office. He cannot comprehend that a few good men have brought has project in the Middle East to a complete halt. Bush cannot stay in Iraq where he is caught between the fire of the resistance and that of Iran. And if he leaves after all these losses and humiliation the oil rich south of Iraq will be in the hands of Iran. And this is what US strategy cannot accept. "


The Hidden Facts 

A Message (In English) From The Iraqi Resistance. Video and Transcript 

Free people of the world, we believe it is time to provide you with another updated report on the status of the war as we in the resistance factions perceive. We have several indications from the fields and from within the puppet government in Baghdad that the tactics used by the occupation forces have developed, yet the strategic aims that drive them, remains the same and in order to clarify the nature of such developments we must return to the facts.

The invasion of Iraq was based on lies mainly as we all must not forget, that the previous government was stocking weapons of mass destruction and had links to the infamous Al-Qaida. After the initial stages of this war, the world discovered the scale of the White House deception. To avoid accountability and responsibility, the declared reasons gradually shifted to spreading democracy and taking the war to them; as if the Iraqi people were responsible for the events of 9/11. Buying time, while testing different tactics to achieve any levels of success that maybe marketed as a victory or achievement, became a priority.

The project then collapsed, and the Pentagon woke up to a new reality. The Iraqi people did not welcome an invasion, as some traitors have guided. And the Iraqi Army which could not engage such a superior force with its outdated equipment in a classic battlefield, has handed over the cities to the occupier.

Large urban societies would require enormous financial support and the funds found in Iraq’s Banks would eventually disappear in the hands of looters. New funds would be required. Bush cannot simply ask for more funds from the US tax payer. But now that Bush controls Middle East Oil, he has no option but to increase the international price of oil, to cover the increasing cost of occupying our Country. This decision was the next mistake, we in the resistance were praying for. The additional revenues that would be available for Bush would also be available for other oil producing states, mainly Russia, Venezuela, and Iran. Each would benefit from the extra revenues in enforcing their position in the international arena. Russia today after five years is stronger and is rebuilding its previous glory. Iran, which aided US intervention in Afghanistan then Iraq succeeded in using US power to weaken two fronts; build a larger and more powerful army, fund its nuclear ambitions, and support any organization in the Middle East that is opposed to Israel and the US, regardless of sect or agenda, in an attempt to extort the US into giving any concessions a defeated and cornered White House could spare. Venezuela today nationalized many of its industries reviving its economy and having more to say, when it comes to oil pricing. China has a growth rate that is confidently reaching the 4th. As for Europe, it is lost in between. With a Euro currency too strong to allow a considerable rise in exports, a union which requires restructuring before accepting new members, a birth rate that is at its lowest due to strains and taxations on its working class, and energy requirements that increase along with costs, the future of Europe and its weak governments is not so promising. Europe, must find ways to enforce its own will and interests and work in conjunction with Russia to restore world stability and balance. As for the fragile sheikhdoms that export oil in the Arabian Gulf, we assure you that they are exporting at maximum output. They are also in fear of Iran which could easily cause havoc by firing a few missiles across the Gulf. This will devastate the stock markets, and booming property based industries which add up to their financial back bone. They also cannot publicly assist the Iraqi Resistance until the US simple evacuates to avoid being labeled as funders of terrorism.

In Iraq, Bremer disbanded the Iraqi Army, giving us more men and eagerness to free Iraq of its occupiers. And the amount of weapons stocks we stored will last us for fifty years if not more.

The White House faced with all this, decided that a puppet government would assist in reducing the financial and administration strains in Iraq, Bush then turned to the Kurdish Parties and the Persian backed militias for assistance. But, at what cost? Neither Turkey will accept an independent Kurdish state on its southern borders, nor Iran, will stop at simply aiding the US and easing its burden by controlling the south of Iraq and have the US concentrate their efforts on central Iraq. On the contrary, the puppet government’s ministries of influence such as the Interior and Defense, were handed over to the Iranian backed militias. Clarifying even more the secret arrangement between the US and Iran. Here the White House believed that by trying to enforce sectarian violence amongst Iraqis the level of attacks on US troops will be reduced, but this tactic, as we also predicted, has also failed. Iraqis have a high rate of intersect marriages, and that deprives anyone the ability to divide such a society by sect. Also the amount of killings and sadistic brutality of these militias has left the US and its puppet government in Baghdad exposed internationally. Today these militias, have become the major source of instability in Iraq.

We must also not forget that the atrocities at Abu-Ghraib prison and the use of chemical weapons on our civilians added to the failure. The Pentagon then increased the numbers of security contractors who have a high price tag, and gave them more field duties, this way if any are killed, there figures are not disclosed as is the case with the green-card soldiers. Also today the number of security contractors in Iraq is almost equal to the amount of military personnel. As for the Islamic Party which claims it represents the Sunnis in the puppet government; they have played all their cards with no positive gains, and more pressure is being enforced on them by us, to withdraw, and deprive it from its legal status. We know they will pull out sooner or later for they have nothing to offer to the Iraqi people. And staying in power will do more harm.

The Pentagon and under order of Rumsfield resorted to a new tactic. If Iraqis are not accepting what the US wants, they must simply leave Iraq. In essence, change people of Iraq. Make them refugees in neighboring countries until they dissolve in their host societies. And when these counties complain, bully or bribe them into silence. True, it will effect our people and create an imbalance in the composition of our society, but again to our advantage. Our people who leave as refugees will be safer, and when they find jobs whatever they may be, in neighboring countries, they provide the minimums for their families and acquire the working skills required to rebuild Iraq after victory.

Free people of the world as this conflict develops we are more sure of our predictions and analysis. And the foreign players in Iraq today have reached the state where their interest are no longer common. There is more to disagree on and conflict is present. And looking at all the details of the timeline of this conflict as we have explained, we do not see one correct decision or action taken on the part of the US. Not one single positive achievement. This by far, is the most costly pack of lies any criminal has come up with. This is why Bush today, is alone and isolated in his own little world. All his generals and strategists cannot offer him a solution. His people do not believe in him and his army of looters and thieves is lost, tired, and disoriented. The true reasons of this war as we all know is oil, world domination, corporate government, and the guarantee of existence to the so called state of Israel.

Here we must not forget that the Iraqi Resistance, and despite all the reservations that some might have, has set a unique example that will be studied by historians and analysts for years to come. Most importantly it has taught the world of oppressed nations and societies that a self sufficient resistance movement in our modern times is possible, and can destabilize the most powerful opponents let alone local governing bodies that cooperate with imperial powers. They are much easier to remove and eradicate and this reverses the known equation. One free man, can change the outcome of a day.

The Resistance has proved to the world that it is through morality and determination that you can achieve and gain your rights and that ideological pretext that is marketed by the US media as being the cause of this war, is nothing but another lie. Religions have coexisted for thousands of years in peace, why is it now a problem. Idealogic and religious fanaticism on all sides is only the excuse and not the reason which is economic gain and influence. The Resistance has also proved that the highly consumable capital based economies cannot fight long wars, and their greed for energy to sustain a specific lifestyle will eventually grind humanity into a global market of exploitation and slavery only to be followed by total collapse. Capitalism as is tested more and more with less energy available will eventually fail.

In all what we have stated, we are proud to say that the Iraqi Resistance has and continues to redefine the meaning of the word conquest .

We also extend our hands again and again to those troops in Iraq who are still holding on to their morality and humanity, to those who do not want to be part of this crime, that the doors of our mosques and churches will always remain open for. And we in the resistance will honor your humanity and will assist you in discreetly taking you out of Iraq into neighboring countries where you will not be prosecuted and labeled as deserters. We know there are many amongst you who want to leave, but we can only help if you gather the courage to express sorrow, remorse, and detachment from this crime.

We have smuggled out tens and tens of honest men who thought they were coming to Iraq for a cause. Only a few cases such as US Marine Wassef Ali Hasoun who was captured then during interrogation it was clearly evident that this man was not a criminal and thus, we could not harm him. We undertook the task of taking him out of Iraq to safety. We are usually more heavy handed with punishment, when we find people of Arab or Iraqi origin who aid the US.

Another is a supplies driver by the name of Mohammad Ali Sanad, who was working for a Kuwaiti company that was supplying goods to US Bases. During interrogation and extensive dialogue it was clearly evident that this man was sorry for what he did, even the transport company he worked for, known as “Faisal al Neheet” stopped its cooperation with the occupation, closed its offices in Baghdad, and left. He was also released and these are only two examples that we can declare only because the cases went public, as we do not intend to jeopardize the lives of others we helped.

We also extend our appreciation and respect to all the honorable people around the world, the heroes of dignity and freedom, the brave men and women of the anti-globalization and Peace movements. We in Iraq are thankful and grateful for all what you have done and your continued efforts to end this conflict and confront the white collar criminals of corporate governments. May God bless you all and continue to engulf you with patients and resolve.

To the American people we say, you have finally awakened and the millions of honorable people amongst you have now realized that the Iraqi people are not your enemies, and they are not responsible for your grief. It is your troops which occupied our country, and not us yours. The arrogant war criminal who rules in your name has humiliated your nation & military honor and we believe, that a democracy that is not willing to fight for its own freedom, is no better that a raw dictatorship. Your great efforts to remove the ware criminal from the White House has changed the equation in your government tremendously. But it to great disappointment that Bush is insisting even more in his arrogance to go against your will in ending this war. Bush does not respect his own people and we believe that because he knows that a political solution will not be reached

with the Iraqi Resistance, he will leave to democrats a heavy burden by the time he leaves office. He cannot comprehend that a few good men have brought has project in the Middle East to a complete halt. Bush cannot stay in Iraq where he is caught between the fire of the resistance and that of Iran.

And if he leaves after all these losses and humiliation the oil rich south of Iraq will be in the hands of Iran. And this is what US strategy cannot accept. Bush’s last attempt and revenge will be to pull out of Iraq and plan its disintegration into 3 geographically carved states. Then strike the strategic assets of Iran, to bring its already strained economy down to collapse.

Thus the democrats will be left with a Middle East that is even more unstable than it is now. And despite our knowledge that when it comes to strategic interests both parties do not conflict and it is only the methods that bear the difference, The democrats have a chance to end this conflict in a face saving solution for the US, by first declaring that they recognize the factions of the Iraqi resistance as the representatives of the Iraqi people and the Iraqi Republic. After which a negotiating team would be arranged to negotiate your troop withdrawal, compensation of Iraq, and matters of future interest. It is only through the Iraqi resistance, that a solution may be born.

Finally we say to Bush and those behind him. You can go all you want with your plans, strategies, and executions, and we with ours. Lead your troops into battle with every high tech gadgetry and equipment, military science as ever developed, and we will go as primitive and creative as we can, creating the necessary gap that continues to deprive you of the upper hand. Attack with all your force if we leave you a trace, for so many traces were left for fool & arrogant. Hide all you true casualties and we will deprive you of new recruits. Raise the oil prices more and strengthen other aspiring nations & we will deprive you of ours, then raise the cost of occupation till we break your bones in Baghdad and Babylon.

Wander the shelves of history in search of methods to adapt, and we will confront you with a form of variable, adaptable, and reversible asymmetric warfare that will set the standard for years and years to come.

And may the best man win !

Chinese Underground Factory of Fine Food

Chinese Underground Factory of Fine Food

Police officers uncovered an underground factory of the local fine food, known as “Century eggs”. Duck eggs are mainly used to prepare this dish. It is made by preserving duck eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. Through the process, the yolk becomes a dark green, cream-like substance with a strong odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly with little flavor.

Karadeniz Power Ship for Pakistan

SOS for Pakistan – The KAYABEY Power Ship

Pakistan is facing the worst ever electricity crisis in its history. Thanks to years of mismanagement, shortsightedness and corruption; a country bestowed with rivers, enough wind to generate 50,000 MW and a Solar belt that can also generate an additional thousands of Mega Watts of electricity, not to mention the world’s biggest coal reserves. The city of Karachi, the industrial hub of Pakistan and a city which generates almost 65 % of the country’s revenue was the worst hit. Karachiites suffered, and are still experiencing up to 12 hours of load shedding. Now a Turkish Power Ship, perhaps the only of its kind has set sail from Istanbul to Karachi which will give the city a relief of some 230 MW. This agreement has been signed for a period of 60 months, or 5 years. This may sound as good news, but the point to note here is that this is again a short term solution, it will run on fossil fuel and it is not going to be cheap, not at all.

Our daily newspapers carried this story along with a photograph of the ship which words like “ To end the power problems of Pakistani brothers and sisters”. Well, I have no qualms at admitting that I wept on seeing this picture. Not because it carried an emotional message, but because despite being bestowed with so much we are still waiting for God knows who to help us and alleviate our problems. That perhaps is the most painful thing. The leadership will never understand this, there are suffering from acute shortsightedness I guess.

Pakistani Girls Asking for Mobile Phone Cards

Posted by : Asma Gilani

I teach in a girls college and have come across few stunning incidents. I started teaching in the college since last year and already I am stunned as how quickly things are changing and our society is deteriorating.

Once on the same site, another writer Ghazala Khan discussed as how she was harassed on a mobile phone, and how the girls might be getting exploited through it. I would like to present another side of the coin which is not only astonishing but also scary and shameful.

I just got freed after teaching my class and was walking towards the rest room, when the college principal called me in her office. When I reached at her office, I saw one of my students sitting there. Her face shaken and ashen. There was an older, red faced couple was sitting on the sofas, who were presumably the parents of the girl. I, perplexed, sat on the chair in front of Principal and looked at her inquiringly.

Principal asked me about the performance of the girl in class, and I said,” average.” Principal told me that she was visited by some boys last night at her houses, who were really angry. One of those boys was the son of Principal’s husband friend. That boy told principal that ‘Sana‘ (the girl who was sitting there right now) contacted him on the mobile phone, and asked for the friendship. The boy obliged. Sana almost daily took a mobile phone card from him. She in return chatted with him for hours in nights. They carried on with the mobile phone chat for 3 or 4 months and Sana promised the boy that she would marry him, and Adil was ecstatic. The name of the boy was Adil. Adil also presented the taped telephone conversation with Sana to the principal.

One day another friend of Adil jokingly told him that he had got a very cool babe as his friend, and they talked dirty almost daily. He told Adil that though she was very demanding in terms of card, but she talks good and spicy. He offered Adil her phone number. Adil refused. But that friend anyhow sent the number of that girl to Adil. When Adil looked at the number, it was the number of none other than Sana.

Adil asked his friend to call the girl now and keep the speaker on. His friend obliged. Sana talked really flirty and dirty with the Adil’s friend. Adil recorded the conversation, called Sana, and just repeated the recorded conversation. Adil demanded the explanation, and Sana showed an arrogant and aloof attitude. Adil’s friend told him that he got Sana’s number from another boy who from another.

Adil traced the number and decided to settle the matter himself. He then traced Sana to her college, and he knew the husband of college’s Principal. Instead of adopting any evil way to harm Sana, he contacted the principal and told her the whole story. Principal assured him that she would handle the matter. Principal called the girl’s parents, and now we were sitting in there office amidst the thick and heavy atmosphere.

Girl started weeping, but her father thunderous voice made her stop that. Principal then told her parents that she had investigated the matter more, and have come to know that Sana has not only done all that, but has also polluted other girls to do the same. There are now 10 to 15 girls in college who are pursuing this hobby and some have crossed the lines. Sana admitted that she not only had friendship with the boys on phone, but she also went with them on dates in parks and hotels.

Principal asked Sana’s parents to take her home and take care of her, and to not to send her again in this college. Principal also evicted other girls who were indulged in such activities.

In these dire and frustrating times, parents need to give extra and utmost care to their children. Teachers and parents should be talking to their children about such matters to avoid shameful, devastating and embarrassing situations

Pakistani Girls in Public Call Offices : Call Girls or Calling Girls?

Last week, after evening my father called me and said that there was a telephone call for me from my some friend Tania. I tried to recall any of my friend, colleague, or acquaintance with the name Tania in the few second in which I moved towards the telephone, but failed to hark back any one. I shrugged my shoulders and picked the phone and said hello.

After my hello, I heard a very decent and mellow “Asalam-o-alaikum” from a male voice, who was right away apologizing from me for the call. I thought that perhaps it was mix up in the lines keeping in mind the fabulous and immaculate telephone system by our beloved PTCL and hung up. After 30 or so minutes, my father once again called me and said that Tania was once again on the line. As soon as I picked the phone, again the same male voice said hello, and once again I was dumb enough to think that it was some problem in the lines, so I mumbled that it was a mixup and hung up without listening to him.

After five or so minutes, my father angrily called me and said that it was Tania again and I better talk to her at length. My father has arthritis and cannot move that easily so he was apparently not happy with the recurrent calls by Tania. I was also embarrass over giving botheration to my father and to not to be able to talk to that Tania gal who was trying to contact with me that desperately.

I picked up the phone and the same male voice was there and then it dawned upon me that perhaps it wasn’t the line fault and the male was real. I said hello and waited for him. He first profusely and copiously asked for forgiveness from me and then said to me that he wanted to talk with me about a very important matter. I asked him as who and where the Tania is? He laughed coyly and said that he was calling from the Public Call Office and had asked the attendant girl for help to get in contact with me.

I was thoroughly deflated and was wondering about what the hell was going in. I asked from him as why took so much trouble and whats the matter and above all who is he and how he got my number? He told me that he was the brother of one of my student and saw me in the college and he took my number from his sister’s diary, and now he wanted to have a friendship with me, because I was the dream girl he was looking for so many years and he was not only crushed by my looks, but also just loved my articles at TPS and the way I used to teach in the college. Without brakes he went on and on for some 15 minutes.

I asked him the name of her sister, but he wasn’t that dumb and assured me that as soon as “we” would meet somewhere outside, he would let me know everything and more. I tried to extract any information about his whereabouts but he just wanted to have a friendship. Then I asked him as how that “Tania” was so kind to him as she called me?

He told me that as the PTCL land line and the mobile phones have become ubiquitous even in the villages and towns, so the business of these Public Call Offices is in shambles and they are now being used for this purposes.

He said to me that if I visit the PCOs in the city, I would find majority of them having one or two girls attending the phones, and they are there to serve such lovers who are in the search of love or friendship. He further told me that such PCOs also maintain a separate directory of the phone numbers of girls which they offer to their regular customers and then earn from the calls made by these customers. Many of these girls also work as escorts and they also talk on phone or in person with the customers to enhance the business.

I am in the process of getting rid of this student’s brother, and wondering how many other girls would be doing the same in this land of pure?
