Perpetuating the fiction of Who Killed Benazir Bhutto

The 'Hectoring Hegemons' insist on bringing to fruition the 'outlandishly plausible' pretext of how America will invade both Iran and Pakistan
in 'self-defense'. In a report in Pakistan's largest English language daily, Dawn, on February 07, 2008, the following precious gem was noted: 'Defence officials told Congress on Wednesday that Al Qaeda is operating from havens in "under-governed regions" of
Pakistan, which they said pose direct threats to Europe, the United States and the Pakistan government itself.' The report presciently continued, almost as if in sympathetic baby-step realization of the outlandish 'self-defense'
scenario already laid out in this scribe's wakeup call "Wakeup to the grotesque reality on the 'Grand Chessboard'": 'Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, predicted in written testimony that the next attack on the
United States probably would be launched by terrorists in that region.' Since the penning of this wakeup call to the Pakistani peoples, Benazir Bhutto was assassinated only a week later to further the 'strategy of tension' in Pakistan, while simultaneously lending more substance to the boogieman of 'al-qaeeda' who was immediately blamed by
the Pakistan Government and its English language press the very next day (Dawn, Daily Times, Najam Sethi, December 29, 2007).
The Scotland Yard, who was asked to investigate the assassination, before they had even fully embarked on their forensic
journey had already expressed their belief "Scotland Yard believes Al-Qaeda assassinated Benazir Bhutto" (Times Online, January 13, 2008).
And on February 08, 2008, the NY Times reported that the Scotland Yard has conclusively offered the JFK vintage 'lone
gunman' theory, pinning the blame on the ubiquitous cavemen of 'al-qaeeda' sitting with their laptops and Klashnikovs in
the Hindu Kush monitoring, controlling, and threatening the world's foremost armed to the teeth superpower and its allies.
In support of the Scotland Yard's conclusions, Pakistan immediately arrested "Two very important terrorists" as noted by the Dawn. The Daily Times too echoed: ' "It is a major breakthrough. These two men were involved in the assassination and they are from a militant group which
is relatively new," the official said. "Their tentacles are from the tribal region and Baitullah Mehsud" '. The United States immediately, and enthusiastically, endorsed the findings: "In terms of the investigation itself by Scotland Yard, we view this as a credible investigation by independent outside
experts ... we don't have any reason why we would question the validity of their assessment", as reported by the Nation. The International Herald Tribune however, perhaps more interested in journalism than in supporting "imperial mobilization", candidly observed: "The [Scotland Yard] findings support the Pakistani government's explanation of Bhutto's assassination in December, an
account that had been greeted with disbelief by Bhutto's supporters, other Pakistanis and medical experts." The following was added by IHT for additional forensic clarity into the matter (echoing the sentiments of the NY
Times): "It is unclear how the Scotland Yard investigators reached such conclusive findings absent autopsy results or other
potentially important evidence that was washed away by cleanup crews in the immediate aftermath of the blast,"
Interestingly, most mainstream English newspapers the world over carried similar observations spanning the gamut of
endorsement to mild skepticism. But none that I scanned, ventured as far as to forensically equate the assassination of
Benazir Bhutto with 'Synthetic Terror' in order to fabricate pretexts for further "imperial mobilization" on the 'Grand Chessboard'!
Manufacturing 'consent' is in full swing worldwide, but mainly targeted at the sole superpower's "populist democracy" which is strongly "inimical to imperial mobilization ... except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct
external threat ... [and sustained] challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being", as Zbigniew Brzezinski shrewdly puts it. So the ruling elite of the world, once again, appear to be realigned in
perpetuating the scare of the imminent destruction of Western civilization at the hands of the 'Islamofascists' -
calculatingly constructed by Bernard Lewis in CFR's influential 'Foreign Affairs' in 1990 on the eve of the emergence of
the victorious sole superpower on the 'Grand Chessboard', as the "irrational ... roots of Muslim rage ... [which] is no less than a clash of civilizations" – just as it was in 2003 with the mantra of 'WMD's' in the hands of 'rogue actors'.
Only this time, the boogieman's nom de guerre is "Baitullah Mehsud", and it resides in a cave in the Hindu Kush with OBL instead of in a desert palace in Mesopotamia. And it is likely to
steal a "loose nuke" or two from Pakistan which the Iranians will dutifully use to destroy the West with, leading to their (Iran's) instant decimation in
'retaliation' and the much longed for 'de-nuking' of Pakistan.
The next stop, all too obviously, is the increasing crescendo of imminent threats to Western civilization, followed by a
real 'terrorist' act as narrated by Zbigniew Brzezinski a year ago before the US. Senate Foreign Relations Committee
(February 01, 2007, quoted in the wakeup call), and as ominously prognosticated by Adm. Mullen before the US. Congress a year later (February 06, 2008, noted above).
And rather unsurprisingly, the world's foremost investigative bodies will entirely reach the conclusion-space already
outlined in the wakeup call no differently from the Scotland Yard today. A new 'coalition of the willing' - destination
Tehran and Islamabad next!
It is perhaps also why, no English language daily in Pakistan, or the New York Times, has bothered to publish this
humble scribe's 'brilliant' forewarnings - it seems that they don't like real forensic clairvoyance, or uncomfortable
deconstruction of reality when 'Alice' is wide awake! Only hard ex post facto 'forensic' data, as gleaned by the
Scotland Yard, and as endorsed by the official organs and vassals of the sole superpower, before they determine "all the news that's fit to print" to the incessant beat of the 'Mad Hatter's' imperial war song!
What's it gonna take for the Pakistan's ruling establishment, and its press (never mind the world or its press) to
wakeup to the grotesque reality of simple arithmetic of '2 + 2 = 4' on the 'Grand Chessboard' and to stop rehearsing the
asinine mantra of 'war on terror' against the fabricated 'al qaeeda'? An ex post facto narrative in ten-twenty years? A multi-million dollar book deal
after the nation's 'descent into oblivion' is complete? Or the 'morning after'? Post fait accompli of yet another 'new pearl harbor', there is no 'red pill' -
only victims! And further exaggerated wet dreams of "full spectrum dominance" of 'baboons' in suits and ties passing off as hominids!
Stand-up today as the genuine hominid and unmask the impostors, or live in the ruins of humanity tomorrow as pet-zombies
of the 'baboons' - for only the early-dead would have mercifully remained human! The world, the majority hominids
inhabiting it, and its co-opted rulers in developing nations would do well to heed the clairvoyance of Bernard Lewis in 'Crisis of Islam': "If the fundamentalists are correct in their calculations and succeed in their war, then a dark future awaits the world,
especially the part of it that embraces Islam" and take defensive-note of the ominously prescient "Global Zone of Percolating Violence" identified by Zbigniew Brzezinski in the 'Grand Chessboard'. For it isn't' only the children of the 'lesser god' in the South who are in danger of losing
their tabula rasa, but the privileged Northern civilizations are likely to descend into police-states and martial law
with another 911 transpiring in any Western nation. All the laws are already on the books to create 'legal
dictatorships' in the West to protect the nice Judeo-Christian peoples from the evil 'Islamofascists'!
What a model of civilizational-progress in the modernity du jour whereby the entire specie is in a steep 'descent into oblivion' due to a handful of parasites 'who wage wars by way of deception'. The vast majority, 99.9%, have been silenced into apathetically "looking from the side", while their respective co-opted local ruling elite control all sources of power to become the major cheerleaders and
circus clowns of the 'hectoring hegemons' - uncannily forgetting that six feet under, the hungry maggots can't tell the
difference!
