Pakistan Opposition Leader Slams US: "You Like Only Those Governments In Muslim Countries That Are Your Slaves"
It is no secret that of all geopolitical crises in the past 5 years, the US has been the instrumental puppetmaster in virtually all of them: from Libya, to Egypt, to Syria, to Ukraine ("US Revealed As Alleged Mastermind Behind Ukraine Unrest"), even the ISIS insurrection in Iraq whose success would have been impossible without prior US weaponizing of al-Qaeda splinter groups in neighboring Syria. And now it appears the US has found yet another country for its "intelligence services" to alienate. According to go the WSJ, the leader of protests against Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lashed out at the U.S. Thursday, accusing Washington of interfering in the country's political crisis.
As a reminder, the nuclear-armed country neighboring India is currently gripped in a political crisis, where the opposition-leader (and cricket legend) Imran Khan asked his followers two days ago to surround the nation's parliament building, and calling for a Tahrir-Square-like protest to oust Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. While political instability is a hallmark of Pakistan's coup-prone government, Khan's concerns at the demise of law-and-order in the nation along with a belief that May 2013's election was "stolen" through conspiracies to rig the results, have led him to demand his followers stop paying taxes and utility bills.
Yesterday the government agreed to begin talk with Khan howeverm earlier today the former cricketer said he had suspended talks with the government saying the administration planned an "aggressive crackdown" on the thousands of demonstrators currently protesting in front of Parliament. Mr. Khan claims that the government came to power after rigging the 2013 elections.
And while his domestic ambitions are clear, it is his hatred of a certain country in the international arena that was most notable: "You like only those governments in Muslim countries that are your slaves," Mr. Khan said in remarks directed at the U.S. "Is there another democracy for you, and another for us?"
If Khan succeeds in overturning the Sharif government, one can be sure that this will only be the beginning. In the meantime, the US is certainly doing everything in its power to antagonize yet another future anti-American regime:
Mr. Khan's comments came after the State Department said Wednesday that Mr. Sharif's government was legitimate. "We support the constitutional and electoral process in Pakistan," said spokeswoman Marie Harf. Mr. Sharif, she added, "is the prime minister, period."
In other words, if Khan ascends to power and if Sharif requests US assistance, America will find its drones delivering "humanitarian assistance" to yet another country in a world where daily US bombings, pardon, "lethal ordnance delivery advisory work" have become so common it is easier to keep track of the countries the US isn't liberating.
Diplomats in Islamabad say they are concerned about the stability of Pakistan and fear that a battle for survival is consuming Mr. Sharif's government, sinking his economic-revival program and hopes of forging peace with traditional foe India.
Mr. Khan and Muslim cleric Tahir ul Qadri, whose supporters are staging a parallel sit-in protest, are demanding Mr. Sharif's resignation. Government aides say they believe that the demonstrations are secretly backed by the military and its spy agencies. The prime minister has clashed with the armed forces over a range of issues in recent months.
The protesters have been gathering in Islamabad since Friday, having set off the previous day by car and bus from the eastern city of Lahore, 200 miles away. Mr. Khan insists that he won't call off the protest until Mr. Sharif quits.
While Mr. Sharif is determined not to resign, he won't use force against the demonstrators, aides said.
"The political impasse is hurting the economy, the prime minister concedes," said one aide. "But he is confident that he can handle the situation. He will just wait them out. Their numbers are thinning."
Worst case, if the economy truly collapses, Pakistan can just blame snow in the upcoming winter: after all if it works for the US it should work for everyone.
Meanwhile the political situation in Pakistan has reached a fever pitch:
Some 30,000 security forces have been deployed around Islamabad in response to the protests, including soldiers requisitioned by the government. Mr. Khan had promised to bring one million protesters to Islamabad, but the actual numbers are much smaller, with independent estimates putting the combined strength of the two demonstrations at between 20,000 and 60,000.
Mr. Sharif enjoys a majority in Parliament. Mr. Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party gained just 34 out of 342 seats in the May 2013 election that saw a landslide victory for Mr. Sharif. The other opposition parties are supporting the prime minister, bolstering his position.
The Parliament, in the absence of Mr. Khan's PTI, passed a unanimous resolution Thursday that "rejects the unconstitutional demands" of the protesters.
And while the US so far has backed Sharif, that is hardly assured for the indefinite future. After all it was not that long ago that the US flip flopped in its Pakistan political alliance, during its latest intervention in the country:
Mr. Sharif's last government was ousted in a coup in 1999 by then-army chief Pervez Musharraf. Mr. Sharif's determination to prosecute Mr. Musharraf for treason is one of the main sources of his friction with the current military leadership.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the U.S., Washington allied itself with Mr. Musharraf's military-led government. However, by 2008, in a change of policy, Washington backed a transition to democracy in Pakistan, supporting elections that year that brought to power the Pakistan Peoples Party led by President Asif Ali Zardari.
In the Musharraf years and early period of Mr. Zardari's government, then-U.S. ambassador Anne Patterson played a central role in Pakistani politics, including as a mediator between the military and the politicians, leaked U.S. diplomatic cables have shown. However, U.S. officials insist that they no longer seek to influence internal politics in Pakistan, where anti-American sentiment runs high.
Hardly surprising considering anti-American sentiment appears to be the dominant theme covering the world these days, even in countries that supposedly pass for US allies.
Mr. Khan, in his speech, singled out current U.S. ambassador Richard Olson. "Please don't take sides and please do not back stooges like Nawaz Sharif," Mr. Khan told a roaring crowd, in remarks in English directed at Mr. Olson. "If you want Pakistan to be a friend of the United States, we are willing to be friends, but please [understand], a Prime Minister Imran Khan can never become a stooge like Nawaz Sharif."
A statement issued by the U.S. embassy in Islamabad Thursday denied local media reports of a hands-on U.S. role in the current crisis. "The United States is in no way involved in the process or discussions between parties. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and unhelpful to the dialogue between parties," said the U.S. embassy.
Just in case anyone needed proof that is. As for the fact that virtually every populist and nationalist leader around the globe now uses America as a enemy symbol around which to "rally the troops", that may be something even the GOTUS should carefully evaluate, whether or not he is on (permanent) vacation.

Mr. Khan keeps talking like that he will very likely be President of Pakistan or assassinated. I wish him luck.
They love us, they love us not, they love us, they love us not....

Don't worry, none of this shit has anything to do with religion... it's all hating us for our exceptionalism.

Appears no one likes us Romans.
Aw c’mon, that ain’t true.
We like all those governments in Muslim countries who wreak havoc and sow chaos which creates profit opportunities for the arms business and finance industry.
I don't think this guy has been watching the news. The US gov treats us like crap too.
this statement reminds me of unsuccessful blacks accusing successful ones of being white or not black enough, muslims are insane in the sense they will never be free as long as their minds are enslaved to a pedofillic murderer and a non existant god of a lie. the same is true for christians and all mystics.
Welcome to the Petrodollar reality.

Imran Khan married Jemima Khan née Goldsmith. Not just any Jew, but the daughter of billionaie James Goldsmith. His children are Jewish. Get this, she converted to Islam, stayed just long enough to pop out the children. She has Khan'ss name following divorce. Imran Khan is very popular in Pakistan since he was a cricket legend and they are cricket mad in Pakistan. His children are destined to rule that country.
Think of it, the Jews will control a Muslim nation of cousin marrying low IQ cannon fodder types. Not only that, but they are nuclear armed! The perfect proxy for the Jews future crimes.
Not insane, imo.
Muslims are organised and cohesive ... standing behind common goals. They are prepared to live, kill and/or die for their beliefs.
Whether you agree with their beliefs is not relevant.
They are doing all the things of which you and I (Western individuals) are seemingly incapable.
There is no Western cohesion. There are no unifying beliefs or principles, any longer.
That's why they will win.
B-bb-b-b-but Obola said they would all love us now that he is POTUZ.
Cue the video of Capt Kirk (Shatner) screaming "Khannnnn!!!!"

Hmmm...glad I caught this here. Certainly, I won't see this on news at 11 or MSM.
Paki cricket team were as corrupt as befuck.
Imran Khan played cricket for Pakistan.
Let me guess...therefore Khan is corrupt as befuck?
That would be a classic association fallacy.
A = B
C = A
It would be illogical to assume that C equals B without another variable.
He also married into UK gentry....
Do they sell nail guns in Paki? Of course, there are other ways of dealing with this troublemaker...

Yes there is a difference. The religion of islam in these countries unfortunately has been shown to corrupt democracy. Just ask Egypt.
Zionism is the cancer at root of it all.
Yeah, because the Muslims would be peaceful, fuzzy bunnies if it weren't for Zionism making them crazy--right?
Is this what passes for critical thinking in AssClownVille?
So which murderous, treacherous group to hate? So many choices.
I stick to hating one group: the one with the most blood on their hands.
Those who want government.
Why not decide to hate the guys who want to do away with elected government in favor of the guys who fund guys like ISIS? You know, the "productive class."
Some people are wired for self-enslavement. That's their problem.
I am not, and I don't want anything to do with being a slave to the subhumans in government
Connection reset muck up.
Can boomergoons like Hagel and yourself just take the last pensions and get the fuck out of the way??? You people are medieval. There is no rational thinking. You ate this shit as a kid and now you vomit the shit out through policy. "Dow 1k to 17k for everyone!!! Nuke the whales!!"
Fuck you and your world you left for the rest of us to inherit.
.
Don't hasten to belittle that idea.
.
It's a good thing Western, non Muslim democracies are not corrupt. This way we can lead them by example.
And western governments are not corrupt.? maybe you should get out more.
Uh oh... somebody not bought off yet.
A couple mil would shut this fucker right up
... as in meters?
right
oh, I thought mil as in 9 mil
"Is there another democracy for you, and another for us?"
Only in appearance. Now go get Mr. Rothschild another slushy. He's thirsty.
The vacuum created by false leadership in this USA is being filled, every day, and it will make the loudest sucking sound the world has ever seen.
I suggest you direct your attention at a finely designed organization of 535 persons, posthaste, before you find yourself in an alternative arrangement, which you will not like at all.
Why would anyone like something like Pakistan? Hell, the people who live there don't even like it.
Or is it a Facebook like thing? Sure, whatever, I'll click the like button.
The US only likes Muslims that aren't terrorist murderers.
The rule is convert to Islam or become headless. It is what it is.
Ambiguous. What do you mean by "US"??
If you mean the US .gov, you are dead wrong. Al Quida, ISIS, Hamas are US .gov and or Mossad creations.
8 people have a reading comprehension problem.
any suspicious money transfers lately?
Yes, and.....?
Sharif: "Khaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Khan was known to throw games if the money was right. ...Totally corrupt...

Again, Khan is doing the bidding for his seedy handlers. The pressure is building within Pakistan as the army starts to clean things up. The next thing you know this guy comes out to shut down the government.
Pop a Paki for Pizza.
it takes more than one person to lose a criket match.
Sounds upset over something......
Hey where's that missing Malaysian plane sucker.
we just like ur oil, but we'll still respect you in the morning.
Sorry, wrong argument. Pakistan has a strategic position on the map + nukes, but no oil.
Pakistan has been producing oil commercially in Balochistan since the early fifties and the Toot area since '67. Plus, they also mine Uranium.
It is amazing many Americans have no interest in what has been happening in Pakistan the last several days. Many Americans do not understand why we continue to give and pour money into Pakistan. This country is a key player in the area.
The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a sovereign country in South Asia with a population of over 180 million people. What makes Pakistan an important player in it's neighborhood is that it has nuclear weapons and is politically unstable. More on the subject of why Pakistan is so important to America in the article below.

"You like only those governments in Muslim countries that are your slaves," Mr. Khan said in remarks directed at the U.S. "Is there another democracy for you, and another for us?"
are you sure that The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a sovereign country in South Asia? seems another slave of US
he meant ONE democracy for u and ANOTHER for your slaves...
Of course the truth now is : no democracy for anybody on the cards!
Its just rampant neo-feudalism, tax perks for some and tax burdens for others in first world (whats left of it) and guns for butter (better even for Oil) in the fourth world (no more third world left!).
"Is there another democracy for you, and another for us?"
That's a dumb question. Obviously, they wish to control the entire world the same as Ferguson; where the coercers are even more armed than Pakistan.
Just fucking great. A nutty nuker. All these preps for nothing.
Khan is against the endless US Drone Wars. Hence, they will do all they can to keep him out of power, as he would not be a US puppet.
"We support the constitutional and electoral process in Pakistan," said spokeswoman Marie Harf. But not, she added, "in the Ukraine."
+ 5B. The DC swamp chokes on its own hypocracy.
Mr. Khan said in remarks directed at the U.S. "Is there another democracy for you, and another for us?"
Hell, there is no democracy here either. Don't get your shorts in a knot.
Pakistan 15-20 years ago had a chance, but they had to go full Islam. Add them to the list of once great nations that went full retard.
awsome sounds like everyone is super pissed in the middle east
.
god this sux bitchez
Everything has to do with the BRICS!
Destabilize India and Brazil.

The only bombs this guy is dropping is truthbombs.
I always admired Imran as a cricketer, he was greatly respected in Australia in the 80's and 90's.
Great all rounder and no slouch with the new ball.
If he is half as good a politician as he was a cricketer, he will still be a force in Pak politics.
I wish him well.
Brady is a fine QB for the Pats, but I wouldn't vote to make him president for that reason, and even though we'd get a better first lady in the deal.
Here is how I understand it. The CIA created the Pakistani (pronounce it like barack hussein obama) ISI and there was the biggest intelligence double cross since the second world war. The Saudi's financed their nuke program for nukes in return. Now we have the American govt arming the terrorists they have armed before creating ISIS and the Caliphate. and further, now we have the Saudi's and American's turning on the very same terrorists they created. I guess I would be pissed off too. Then we have Obama hussein caliphate king open the Mexican border with george soros "open society foundation" and allowing terrorists to enter the American homeland. So you tell me why don't we have Americans cutting off the heads of traitors instead of ferguson???
He's quick
Mr Khan is a good looking Gadaffi who better have the super human fortitude of Startrek's Khan if he intends on breathing next year.
The US government has never made any serious effort to hide the fact that "democracy" is just a slogan and excuse in meddling around the world. It's been like that after WWII, i.e., over 60 years.
If Mr Khan has discovered that only recently, he's not a well qualified leader for Pakistan.
Another one mohamedan fanatic.
This has tzo be extended beyound mohamedan governments, to EVERY government on the earth.
Yes you amies are evil to us. You have allowed the zionist jews to hijack your nuclear arsenal and blackmail the whole world.
shame on you, better, russian and chineese nuclear arsenal on you.
A Global prison yard for the pacified inmates is the real deal, massaged by the in-the-house mates.
"As for the fact that virtually every populist and nationalist leader around the globe now uses America as a enemy symbol around which to "rally the troops", that may be something even the GOTUS should carefully evaluate, whether or not he is on (permanent) vacation."
Exactly. The blowback from 70+ years of international meddling, murder, and mayhem is just getting started. We made ourselves global enemy #1, now we have to live with the consequences.
What happens when a people lose control of their government?
They remain responsible for it's crimes.
remember you gotta break a few eggs to get your NWO omelet..thank you CFR, FED, and our security elite wonder boys.
"The blowback from 70+ years of international meddling, murder, and mayhem is just getting started. We made ourselves global enemy #1, now we have to live with the consequences."
charles V and sons...
Pakistan has been a proxy for the West since 1947. Did they only just realise?
Somebody ought to correct the man: No sane Westerner likes any Muslim government, but we prefer some over other ...
It's always the same shit with religious fanatics:
I can't really do anything about your f'ed up life here, but the big guy told me if you do what I say (interpreted by me of course) you will be rewarded when you are dead.
Which of course I will also be assisting with for you. But me? No I gotta stick around till the jobs done.
a down arrow? really? Guess you are ready to die for some madman. Follow me! I get my orders from the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Heaven is indeed the never ending pasta bowl!
"Some 30,000 security forces have been deployed around Islamabad in response to the protests, including soldiers requisitioned by the government."...
Yes indeed.
I'm sure Pakistan's security forces are just like Iraq or Kiev's...
They expect to paid on a regular basis for their services, especially when the unrest is around places where... well... leaders of the government happen to live and well... where the embassies of many guest dignitaries who expect protection from the host government to be consistent happen to also be.
Sure hope the U.S. dollar can keep up with all these intervention(s)?...
Wonder if anyone is tracking the number of U.S. foreign service officer exam entrants these days???
And Mr. Khan (con?) you treat anyone who isn't a f-ing mooslim like slaves, so WTF?
Well, somebody gets it.
