Pakistan Faces (Another) Military Coup As PM Charged With Murder
Having slammed the US for "liking only those governments in Muslim countries that are your slaves," opposition leader Imran Khan, just as we warned here, has given the army 24 hours to prepare a broad-based reform agreement on behalf of the government (having been asked by Prime Minister Sharif)... i.e. coup-prone Pakistan appears to be back under military rule (for now). Then things got even more bizarre as WSJ reports, Prime Minister Sharif is to face murder charges related to the killing of 10 Muslim cleric Qadri's followers. Qadriu has agreed to wait 24 hours for the army response before announcing his strategy.
As The Times Of India reports,
Political crisis in Pakistan took a new turn on Thursday with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif agreeing to face a murder case relating to the killing of 14 followers of cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri, as Imran Khan kept up pressure insisting on the embattled premier's resignation.
For the second time in three days, Pakistan's powerful army chief Raheel Sharif met Nawaz Sharif to discuss the over two weeks-long political turmoil.

seems all normal to me......alll is well allll is well
...Pakistan should partner w/ Russia & China...then we'd see the SHTF...WW3 here we come.
How the heck does the WSJ get info like this? Do they have a local reporter reporting from deep inside the Pakistani gov't? This, in light of the fact that ad revenues have absolutely killed conventional media.
Or are these media outlets now US gov't propaganda outlets?
Hmmmmm..... wish I knew. lol
Brown people kiling each other?
Yawn.
So PakiSTAIN's political triumvirate are:
1) A cleric
2) A former Cricket player
and
3) A Military general.
"Then things got even more bizarre as WSJ reports, Prime Minister Sharif is to face murder charges related to the killing of 10 Muslim cleric Qadri's followers. Qadriu has agreed to wait 24 hours for the army response before announcing his strategy."
Wasn't this poor fucker already couped just a few short years ago?
"Yawn."
...With Nukes.
Putin can fix this shit. Give him a day and everything will be nice and clean in Pakistan!
Even Pakistan can charge their leader with murder....in the "civilized" world they get peace prizes
The US Military and Pentagon are a joke. They are Obama & Soros bitches.
Slave? There is a BIg difference between a slave and a puppet.
great. and these guys have nukes. lots of them.
Or worse yet Pakistan joins ISIS and gives them nuclear capability.
ISIS is CIA/Massod, why would Pakistan join with them?
Prime Minister Sharif is to face murder charges related to the killing of 10 Muslim cleric Qadri's followers
How many Pakistanis has Obama droned? Must be well over a thousand including women and children. But because he has a Nobel Prize, he gets a free pass to murder wantonly.
Hey Pakistan, I have your solution. Write this down.
1. Grassy Knoll.
2. Skinny patsy to take the fall. Do not worry this is easy.
3. Get owner of local titty bar to kill skinny patsy.
The rest is history.
LOL...for all my non native English speaking ZHers.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=patsy
you had me at titty bar...
I saw titty bar and then read "pasties"
Pakistan has nukes.
I can't get over that.
The Bomb, in Pakistan, button away.
A dual citizen controls the US nuke arsenal.

Obama has killed that many on a gold course with his errant balls
O has balls?...oh literalist...
Hmm, fesh bombing campaign in Syria. Now there's regime change in Pakistan. Only thing missing is a terrorist act in Iran, a sudden credit market collapse in China and then the stage will be fully set for the main event - ground invasion of Russia. Did I forget anyone?
Li'l Kim?
I am pretty sure the Marines have informed the rest of the Armed Forces they are willing to fight the Goldilocks terrorists ISIS, but Russia? Not so much.
...and, well, incidentally -- no biggie(s) or anything -- there's japan and india, their 'sweet' brent supply guaranteed viz that delicious tastin lybian stuff (to stock those evah-thirsty refineries (designed specifically for brent sweet) in hindu-mundi and japan-man-land; kurdistan and kazakstan bracketing the turkoman (and the tacit acknowledgment that there will be a newfangled mini-ottoman 'empire' hemmed in on all sides by ancient rivals -- you know, so's the turkoman doesn't get carried away with himself (and just where is attaturk when you need him most?). let's see...there are also those strange oscillations from the house of saud...a rapidly unraveling NATO...the consolidation of the baltics, poland and all that's best & 'west' of eastern europe (and to what end, none can be comfortably certain)...the hammer/anvil action banging away in s. america. vietnam, thailand, indonesia and korea waking up to find themselves uncomfortably situated in xi's new south china sea (with territorial claims stretching by the minute). nationalistic/jingonistic fervor percolating from every provincial backwater and steaming the sentiments of the most urbane cosmopolitan all over the globe. putin debatin whether or not to peel back the veil of america's duplicity-mythos, restraining himself for the very real and realistic fear that the amorcian reaction will be to unleash an american version of himself.
as for lil kim...well, my friends, lil kim's role is far more significant than any are presently allowing. let's for a moment assume that an emergent hegemon in sino-central could, to the south koreans, deliver the north on a silver platter...let's further assume that the delivery can be managed and staged (think economic trade zones that eventually expand to encompass everything up to the chinese border), such that all parties are satisfied with a practicable and prudent integration...sunshine as far as the korean eye can see! and, boy-oh-boy, wouldn't that be somethin...slammin a wedge betwixt the eternally tenuous japan/korea axis. something like that could (and would) toss the entire region into a chaotic realignment.
and then there's the great african corridor...extending from liberia to south sudan, with its width from the sahara to tanzania.
it's almost enough to make one forget about israel. btw, is anyone still curious as to why tel aviv shut down ALL of its embassies and recalled all staff? for a pay dispute, of course...those diplomatic unions, always going on strike immediately preceding a 'strike'.
remember the maine!,
janus
When bombing Syria, keep in mind that Syria & Iran have a mutual defense treaty. And Russia has stated publicly that any action against Iran would be considered as a national security threat to Russia.
With a neighbor like this, must be good times living in India right now!
So for varsity we have Russia v Ukraine, China v Japan, India v Pakistan and on the JV side ISIS B v Iraq, ISIS A v Syria, Israel v Hamas, Quatar/Egypt v Libya.
MEMO to Joint Chiefs:
How to get POTUS off the F'n Golf Course and engaged in process?
BRACKETS !
We don't want POTUS engaged. He'll issue more EOs if he's engaged.
yes...one of the most tranquil times in history
It looks like the balance of power in Pakistan works a little different than the US. I wonder if they also have a constitution they don't use.
"having slammed the US"....
mmm....where do you put the P in the BRIICS
add P and may as well add G-Germany so it becomes
BIG PRICS
I think that is quite stand up.
"And this year's award for The Most Politically Unstable Nuclear-Armed Power goes to..... [drum roll] Pakistan!
That's 16 consecutive wins, well done Pakistan!"
More aid, more military hardware and more debt forgiveness.
Pakistan with it's nuclear weapons is the most dangerous country in the world. It's military provided safety to bin laden for years. It's a shithole of a country with millions of fanatics who would kill all who don't believe like them. If it disappeared yesterday the world would be a safer place. Some of you idiots on here can't see past your hatred of the US . US bad, anyone who opposes US good. Brillant fucking people you are. I am An American and if you dont like that go fuck yourself. Let us Americans deal with our country and its problems and the rest you gutless bastards deal with your countries problems. So go suck your eurotrash boyfriends dick. And another thing,,,, Don't let me catch you around quahog !!
War for profit and Israel. That's your idea of good?
I wonder, will American politicians be charged with murder? The executive branch? The legislative branch? The Supreme Court? The oligarchs? The deaf and dumb mainstream media?
Personally, I find these sorts of bite sized information packets in Zero Hedge articles to become more like machine guns blasts of data that overwhelm my ability to process! Since I tend to believe that one of the insane goals of the Zionist dominated foreign policy of the USA was to destabilize Pakistan ... that appears to be working, especially since destabilization is way easier than stabilization.
Attempting to figure out how tangled up in political deceits one's own country may be is extremely difficult, while attempting to figure out the levels of deception operating through any significantly foreign country is just too damn difficult for an ordinary person to be able to do, especially since there are dozens of significant different countries which one would have to become more of an expert upon in order to get remotely close to accomplishing that, while there are hundreds that could be attempted (if one had a hundred life-times to be able to spend working on that.)
LOL
Deception. Look up Jame Jesus Angleton (CIA guy who tore the agency apart looking for the moles) and his description of the levels of deception. It's tough to get one's hands about the intricacies of the game
For sure, knucles, Angleton was one hell of a spooky spook!
