“Damned if he does. Damned if he doesn’t”

Election results 2013. Nawaz 17% of registered vote. 83% did not vote or voted against him.

This is how these evil looters and plunderers get into power through this version of a sham democracy!

What amazes me is the narrative being promoted by Nawaz about “honouring the vote”. Not amazed at his propagation but its resonance in the ears of the educated and the aware.

If this version of a prostituted democracy, hijacked by a coterie of looters and plunderers is acceptable to us then good luck to Pakistan.

If some of us can accept these criminals who’ve done nothing but lined their pockets, then good luck to them.

If some of us are happy with a Nawaz Sharif, his brother, his family, his coterie of criminals to loot and plunder the national exchequer, money laundered 300 billion rupees, trying to foist a bimbo on us as his heir, then good luck.

He shamelessly purveys her in front of drooling crowds to save his wealth and politics. One wonders if these crowds would have gathered had either one of his two sons been doing the rounds.

This shameless woman, Maryam has the temerity to equate this evil man, Nawaz and her trashy character with Nauzobillah the Prophet PBUH and his daughter Bibi Fatima. She’s treading on very dangerous grounds. There are many today, who can and may do something that cannot be spoken here.

The real story behind why he was picked up by Governor Jilani is another very dark stain on this family’s character. Sufficeth. This whole family is shameless, devoid of self respect with serious issues of morality!

And these are the wretched we want as our leaders?

Or a Zardari, having looted and plundered at will as well and now attempting to foist a twenty something twit on us. Then good luck!

If some of us are happy with a Nawaz or a Zardari, who have both systematically destroyed every institution in Pakistan so that they and their evil coterie can continue to loot and plunder at will, then good luck.

Those who support these evil men are as guilty of their acts of commission and commission, as if they committed them, themselves.

They do so perhaps, either out of ignorance, or self centered vested interests. I can see no other reason.

If the former, then they are forgiven. If the latter then understandable, because they’re riding and eating and benefiting from the same evil gravy train of the Nawaz’s and Zardari’s of Pakistan and fear the end of this terrible status quo.

They will hit out, cry out, fight anybody and everybody who are battling these evils. Whether it’s the Supreme Court, or Imran Khan or the so called establishment.

They will pick at the soft spots in these three, higlight inconsistencies and their errors of judgement to try and destroy them.

None who support Nawaz or Zardari talk of the genocide of values these two evil men have wrought on Pakistan.

None of these laud the Supreme Court in bringing Nawaz to justice.

Not even acknowledging that he was and is corrupt and evil! But they pick holes in minutiae, nit picking laws, muddying the waters.

None admit that this man siphoned the taxpayers money out of Pakistan and ensconced it in properties and businesses abroad.

None question the whole scale destruction of our institutions by him.

Democracy they cry! What democracy?

A democracy which has made this nation poorer?
A democracy which has destroyed every semblance of good governance?
A democracy which puts Pakistan on top of the list of infant deaths?
A democracy which couldn’t provide education to its poor and exploited, giving rise to the thousands of madrassahs and all the challenges associated with it?
A democracy whose health care system is in tatters and yet these evil demigods run to London and the USA at the slightest sniffle!

Fie on this terrible perverted democracy!

Democracy means a system which vests those governing with the public trust. A trust which expects good governance, progress, development, better education, healthcare, employment, justice, security!

It doesn’t mean multibillion dollar projects which allow these snakes to siphon off tens of billions of the top!

To me the battle lines are stark and clear.

The battle is for the future of Pakistan and it’s people against the terrible evil, misgovernance and loot and plunder of the Sharif’s and the Zardaris who use the shield of a prostituted democratic order to save their wealth, their power and influence and to continue to acquire power!

This is a prostituted, cancer ridden version of a democratic process.

Unless and until we don’t have a system which allows people of integrity and competence to get to positions of governance, power and authority, it will continue to be hijacked by those with wealth, for whom the only value system is further acquisition of wealth and power and not the good of the people of Pakistan!

Our Electoral process, as it currently stands, cannot stop evil and corrupt people like Nawaz and Zardari acquiring power. This must be stopped. And the only way is for institutions to be strong enough to stop this rape, loot and plunder.

While the Supreme Court may be displaying activism of a sort that may not appear to many as fair, at least laud them for bringing a crook to justice, because all others failed!

Imran is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. His Senate play stopped a major and evil ploy by Nawaz. And he had to compromise with another evil to ward of the bigger evil!

When he doesn’t…he doesn’t understand politics…when he does…he’s sold his soul.

We pontificate from the soft recesses of our armchairs, especially mine and forget that he’s been in this game and in the trenches for 22 years. Has experienced and tried every trick in the trade, every tactic, every strategy to fight the status quo.

We forget that he has literally and singlehandedly broken the two party system. That it was his doggedness in the valleys of despair that kept the party going.

That it was his unrelenting and unforgiving approach which got the Supreme Court to take notice of Panama, otherwise It would have been buried in the dustbins of history.

We forget that despite his errors of judgement, by sheer force of his character and charisma he’s set up a university in a place where no one would set up even a goatshed! Where kids come from 54 districts and 95% are on free scholarships.

He’s set up 3 Cancer hospitals. He’s broken the back of the political mafia and made key institutions wake up from slumber.

We forget that this person, with all his faults, his inconsistencies, his errors of judgement, stands taller than Nawaz and Zardari!
And yet we petty things in our ultimate pettiness quibble over issues that are for want of a better word….petty!

I pity the good people of this nation who do not and cannot differentiate the good from what is truly evil.

Even a flawed Imran, and minor are his flaws, is a thousand times better then these evil people!

Choose your side’s carefully!

For all of us and our future generations will have to live with the choices we make today!
