The ANP Challenge Anil from Harvard Business School writes "Reality is defined as known, observable and verifiable "

We all know that you have finally discovered how to consult an English dictionary after years at Harvard Business School, now you need to move ahead and ask, "Known to whom, observable by whom.." that is where subjectivity and not objectivity defines "reality" and "unknown"

The ANP Challenge In #165 read "even as this hypocrite, Manto. he calls other similar victories in this farcial elections "landmark"

as

"even as this hypocrite, Manto, calls other similar victories in this farcial elections "landmark, while crying foul over the ANP victory"

The ANP Challenge We all know why the High Priest of the Church of MAJ has written this biased report. It is because all his analysis is colored through his worship of MAJ and the people he hates whose victory he wants to condemn based on only that very criteria, because Bacha Khan opposed the sob MAJ (even as this hypocrite, Manto. he calls other similar victories in this farcial elections "landmark")

The fact is that by voting for the ANP and independants, the people of NWFP have rejected the farcial US war on terror, they have rejected the Islamists (the lesser thugs) and the Pakitan Army/US (higher thugs). That is what the voting has revealed, it has not revealed that those in the NWFP have turned red or any such things, these elections were one issue elections, army rule and mullah thuggery in the region.

Bulleya what I wrote even as the votes were being tallied regarding the American elite and before that now for over a year, is coming true due to these deliberate leaks that dawn just reported. I have submitted my article on these elections to Chowk staff, let us hope they are "big" enough not to censor it this time, let the people discuss an alternative point of view to these immature celebrations that play right into the hands of the Pakistan military...

February 18th, 2008-Election Day hamid writes "masadi,

.... have you thanked the us elite for holding this election and giving us another chance? ..... "

O great sage of the sewers, if you had read my posts on this very thread you'd have your answer.....now take a hike.

Drama of Succession - Pakistan People’s Party Majumdar you are wrong on all counts again:

Taiwan and South Korea became "big"- though their "bigness is debatable" because of heavy state protection, nationalization is just a slight difference in degree to that.

Land reform has to do with society large reform and creating conditions and laws for it, it does not have to do with the land holdings of one man- that would be an ad hominem argument against ZAB and proves nothing except an immature mind stuck on personalities in discerning worth of governments. The institutions created or incepted by the ZAB was the non existant political one where the people of Pakistan for the very first time had an avenue for a say and became a power to be reckoned with- in other words they were incorporated into the equation that shook the establishment be it for a short time period.

Only a fool would deny that the sentiments created by the partition catastrophie in which at least the face and rhetoric of MAJ was prominent (while the feudals and colonials worked behind the scenes) makes him responsible for the massacres that occurred. Regarding a united India, it is more difficult to manage and control and use by proxy due to its size and diversity for ulterior motive than Pakistan is, don't try to tell me that division and rule has not been one of the very favourite formulas of the colonial elite in fulfilling regional motives....like I said you're a fake

What is Hinduism? A Personal View I see that tahmed and his chaprasee have already redflagged me for asking a QUESTION- note the "?" in #62. Go ahead (as Clint Eastwood used to say), Make my day, ban me, and then ask me if I care....

What is Hinduism? A Personal View By the way Mr "Dost" your apology for making the article bold font, isn't that the domain of the Chowk Staff? So are you part of the Chowk Staff "dogs" that have been banning me time and again and removing my ilog stuff from the front pages of Chowk?

Afghanistan - A Strategic Analysis tahmed writes "you write: "Thanks to USSR help many South Asian countries as well as African countries fought and won wars of liberation !"
Name one such country! On the other hand, the central asian states, the baltic states, the east european states - having experienced USSR the way USSR lovers like you obviously never did - are testimony to the brutal and corrupt USSR regime that the US successfully fought and won against. "


Amazing "cops and robbers" sloganeering by tahmed in order to promote the objects of his worship the US elite. As regards the one country, let us mention the USA itself, were it not for the SU and its "Sacrifice" the Hitlers armies could never have been defeated and Europe liberated. Let us also just mention in the passing Vietnam where the US tried to prop up reactionary militias of its own creation with no people backing and the SU helped the people throw these sobs out.

The fact is that the majority world during the hey days of the cold war understood that the imperialist power, i.e. US was intersted in them only for looting through violence purposes so the natural ally they fell back to, to counter this was the SU. If it were not coopted by US militarism for its own survival- remember the Zinn quote from earlier, shortly after the Revolution the US landed troops in Russia, and this snake tahmed's lying post tries to give the lie to the entire domino theory of the US during the cold war which was a farce but made real through circumstance. The childish intellec of this fool is still at the level of the "cowboys and Indians" with the objects of his worship being the "cowboys" trying to liberate (read rape) the world...

Afghanistan - A Strategic Analysis There you have it my post #73 has been redflagged and now the "dogs" will ban me- go ahead, you think you prove something by doing that? As a matter of fact you do, you prove yourself to be a miserable ___.

Afghanistan - A Strategic Analysis Since the chowk staff "dogs" are censoring my ilogs by not allowing them to appear on the front page, readership has dropped from around 85 to 15- plain and simple censorship if there ever was any. Therefore I am forced to put this piece here instead of the ilog.

Howard Zinn's 'History' comes to TV
Documentary miniseries to feature Damon, Vedder
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER


Production is finally set to begin on a long-delayed TV version of Howard Zinn's landmark 1980 tome "A People's History of the United States."

The four-hour documentary miniseries -- titled "The People Speak" -- will include performances by Matt Damon, Marisa Tomei, Viggo Mortensen, Danny Glover, Josh Brolin, David Strathairn, Kerry Washington, Eddie Vedder and John Legend.

Zinn will host the longform project, which begins shooting next month in Boston. Project, to be exec produced by Zinn, Anthony Arnove and First Tuesday Media's Chris Moore, has not yet been sold to a network.

Damon and Moore have been looking to adapt "A People's History of the United States" on television for nearly a decade.

Damon, who lived next door to Zinn as a child, and Ben Affleck included a reference to Zinn and "A People's History" in their Academy Award-winning "Good Will Hunting." Soon thereafter, the scribes and Moore (also a "Good Will Hunting" producer) sold a 10- to 12-hour miniseries to Fox based on the book.

"A People's History" was slated to run on Fox in 1999, but that didn't happen; later, HBO developed a three-part version but eventually passed as well.

The new adaptation will draw from both "A People's History," and sequel tome "Voices of A People's History of the United States," which Zinn wrote with Arnove. Miniseries will center on the actors and musicians as they read from the books or perform music related to their themes: the struggles of women, war, class and race.

The longform will mix the performances with photos, interviews and archival footage.

"This project is about Howard Zinn, his books and using that body of work to remind and inspire us all that this is a country built on dissidence," Moore said. "Howard's work deserves to be on film, and it is time that we paid tribute and captured the struggles of the people."

Zinn, whose books chronicle the struggles of Native Americans, women, workers and other Americans, said he'd like to continue to inspire activists.

"Our hope is that these words from the past will speak passionately and clearly to the needs of the present," he said.

Cinetic Media is handling domestic sales for "The People Speak," which is also being readied for a DVD release after its initial TV run. Artfire Films' Art Spigel, Ara Katz and Dan Fireman are on board as producers; David Baerwald will provide the music score.

Eight years of Four M\'s: Musharraf, MQM, Muslim League and Mullah in #14 read "and anyone who tries to expose their monkeys (like tahmed) and banned for 24 hour periods time and again from posting. Go figure.... "

as "and anyone who tries to expose their monkeys (like tahmed) are banned for 24 hour periods time and again from posting. Go figure....

Eight years of Four M\'s: Musharraf, MQM, Muslim League and Mullah As you all can see, tahmed and his chaprasee have redflagged my post to get me banned for no reason yet once again. It is open season for those praising the swines that are killing our folk here on chowk, and anyone who tries to expose their monkeys (like tahmed) and banned for 24 hour periods time and again from posting. Go figure....

Eight years of Four M\'s: Musharraf, MQM, Muslim League and Mullah tahir writes "The Yankees and it's monkeys are selling exactly THIS to the scared public.."

Well stated, and as we all know the Yankees have no monkey more faithful to them on Chowk than their peon Tahmed. Everytime you show obvious American interference in our affaris he says "look at India" or "Check out the beautiful democracy talk of the Americans". Like I have said many time before such backstabbers should be recognized by all Pakistanis for what they are: the white man's dirt. Leave us the hell alone I tell them, talk about Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton as the rest of the corporate media the is busy with elite agenda 24/7

Pakistan\'s Flawed and Feudal Princess tahmed, peon of the West writes "#21 zeemax: so you too believe in the theory that the US is Allah without whose permission not a bird can fly and not a bird can die in Pakistan??!! I see I am in the company of Intellectual Giants who can see things beyond mere reality!! :-)"

The purpose behind writing such nonsense by tahmed is merely to hide the crimes of his Western masters, as I have elucidated many times here before. Those who uncover the hand of the US elite in nonsense that goes on around our countries (for example our involvement in the Afghan/Soviet war, etc) do not by any stretch of the imagination consider the US to be "Allah without whom not a bird flutters". What they are merely stating is that the power state, by domination of global institutions, economic, military and political, have greater odds of interference, success and getting away with murder than those countries that have been deliberately kept on the margins of or excluded from equal participation in world affairs. The reason why tahmed cannot stand such exposing of the evils of his masters is because his entier life revolves around unconditional worship of the white man and his shit, getting a whiff of which is enough to send tahmed into perpetual exstacy

Psychology of Men\'s Honour and Women\'s Sexuality Hamid writes "masadi,... this is one subject that you will never now anything about because i doubt any woman would ever let you get within ten feet of her ..... once you have been with a woman that you didn't pay for come back and talk to us "

If any of you were wondering why I use the tone I do in my posts, it is because of people like this fool above who looks like Jabba the Hut and then makes big claims about being a stud, and knows nothing about me and tries to rubbish my post with this nonsense. Let me see for him data and facts are nothing, bedding women is everything where it comes to understanding marriage and family. Well, let me break this to you fool, regardless of the uglies you have bedded (not many will opt for Jabba the hut like you), your understanding of the family, its structure and how it is changing based on economic circumstance is quite rudimentary. If the marketplace is paramount as it is in the West then the family, its structure and its function will be "whored" to the marketplace as it is being done, where traditions and culture hold greater sway, and where the market has not penetrated enough to dictate people's lives, as in places where they pay below subsistence wages for cheap manufacturing work- the hallmark of globalization in the third world, there families will be the default falling back position and will be much stronger. The segments of the population where this relationship wouldn't hold, i.e. the burger class in Pakistan will see similar trends as the Western families and we see a rising divorce rate over there. Regarding women not letting me within ten feet, I have been told by both Western and Eastern women that I am a very handsome, desireable individual, rather it is me not letting certain type of women within ten feet of me because unlike you, a lowly peon of the West, I have standards...

Hoodbhoy (learn to spell his name fool) is more like a nationl disgrace. If what you say is true I challenge that "S" to com here and debate me, then you'll see whose intellect and grasp of the scientific methodology is superior.
