Pakistan’s Prevailing Political And Economic Mess
Posted by Leadenwinter Jul 16, 2008 06:55 am
Setting temporal issues of Pakistani Realpolitik aside (which history shows are largely irrelevant to the plight of the nation as a whole), I think that actually one of Pakistan's main problems which has a negative effect on its economy is the population growth rate. This growth rate exceeds 2% seconded only by places like the Congo or Afghanistan.

Whatever growth the economy sees is immediately absorbed by the growth in population to result in no overall positive effect whatsoever, but the increased population on the other hand impinges on existent infra-structure and on any social, political and economic capital the country may have.

Religious fundamentalism and thus terrorism are symptoms of poverty and poverty itself being a lack of access to resources, is founded in illiteracy, unemployment and indeed unemployability. All these issues can be alleviated to a large extent by a conscious effort to stabilise the Pakistani population and reduce its growth rate.

If the population stabilises and indeed reduces the economy shall improve proportionally. A smaller more educated population shall be happier, more productive and has a collective higher standard of living than the droves and throngs of illiterate disaffected that Pakistan boasts.

Whose Life is it Anyway?

Teleology is a form of argument by which the nature of phenomena is determined from its consequences.

The teleological truth, in very blunt terms is that "this" is happening very simply because white-anglo-saxon-protestants of all descriptions and their zionist friends are all criminals.. to a man....(probably by some genetic basis) and each and everyone one of them believes fundamentally (no matter what ever else they say) that all else in the world exists only to their benefit, a belief which may be realised at the expense of all other life on the planet.

This is the truth and anything said beyond this is deontological lies and propaganda.

Yes America is the root of evil. Theres no doubt about that.. But Pakistan might well be the root of all stupidity..

Enjoy your democracy :)
The Brain Food

You should also perhaps mention in reference to Pakistani consumers of fish that river fish with the exception of trout and the like, is not as nutritious as sea fish, particularly when it comes to minerals such as selenium and zinc and also may be subject to the effects of pollution and heavy metal poisoning from lax regulation of industrial effluent in Pakistani rivers.

The organised use and centralisation of control over fisheries and a government drive towards clean fish farming in Pakistan's coastal waters shall result in a good source of cheap and sustainable food protein and minerals for the Pakistani public, a large number of whom suffer from malnutrition and particularly in the case of women, anaemia. Iodine deficiency also endemic in Pakistani women can be prevented with seafood and seafish.

To be as blunt as possible I feel that such a drive towards better nutrition maybe a very important step towards breeding a better Pakistani and to this end seafood is definitely something which should be on the menu of the average Pakistani.

Who is Making the Oil Fume ?

#18 It might be fair to say that high fuel prices and food prices are the US indirectly offloading its post-war deficits on to the rest of the World. We're actually paying to let them steal Iraq's oil and inevitably from us as well.

This is the price of globalisation and the purpose of American promotion of democracy across the World. This is the cost of the vastly immoral, pro-democracy middle-classes and their hankering for Levi's and Mcdonalds.

Have some morality ....Go to PapaSallis instead ..buy Tops and Pakcola.. Support local industry.. don't talk to Americans .... insist on a nationalised Sui....beat up your friends if you find them showing-off their latest purchase of imported goods... the list goes on and on..
Who is Making the Oil Fume ?

According to Chomsky (and another work by Hill and Wang called Deterring Democracy 1992 p47-49) of the $13 billion of the US Marshall plan aid, $2 billion was given directly to US oil companies.

In terms of inflation this would be the princely sum of nearly $16 billion in today's money.

The purpose of this investment (by the US Public sector in US private companies (?free markets?) was to allow for them to compel Europe to become dependant on oil (sourced by the US who have since sought to develop total control over World oil) as compared to coal which the Ruhr (France and Germany) was rich in.

Henry Kissinger had exactly this in mind in 1970 when he said "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people".

This was exactly what Churchill said in 1919; "We must become.. the controllers at the source, of at least a proportion of the supply (of oil) which we require....and obtain our oil supply, so far as possible, from sources under British control, or British influence."

By the mid-20's Britain controlled most of the World's oil .

Post WW2 following the Bretton Woods conspiracy, Britain had been reduced to America's lapdog for its very foolish misadventures against the Nazis. The US swiftly sought to destroy all European energy independence, in particular Italy's which perhaps foresaw the coming of the beast.

Today the World still suffers from the Bretton Woods conspiracy and its bastard democracy: the willing surrender of your nation's resources and markets to your betters.

In today's World particularly when considering the more "ethnically challenged" nations there are literally hundreds of examples of the direct co-relation between democracy and national poverty Democracy is White imperialism and Iran now may be the last bastion of civilisation left in the world.

Sometimes I feel truly ashamed to be Pakistani. I just wish that some person would please kill all our politicians and mullahs and their families and also the reprehensible scum that supports them.
