[GEO.TV] Shahzad Akbar, the former federal minister and ex-adviser to deposed prime minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders... , is taking legal action against the government of Pakistain over an acid attack that left him "scarred for life".
Acid was thrown at his face when he opened his door to a caller at his home in England’s Royston town on November 26, 2023.
He believes only his glasses, and his slamming the door shut prevented him from being blinded.
On Monday afternoon, Akbar served a copy of his legal action to the Pakistain High Commission in London. This news hound has seen a copy of the legal claim of over 15 pages. It names several Pakistain government officials as responsible for the attack.
Akbar claimed in the letter the government of Pakistain was behind the attack, which happened in front of his young child, and has left him scarred and with psychological injuries.
Akbar sent the Pak government a letter outlining the claim that he intends to bring against it at the High Court in London.
Akbar, aged 46, was an adviser to Imran Khan until three months before the prime minister was ousted in April 2022.
A blurb issued by the law firm representing the former adviser said Akbar highlighted how the powerful elements interfered with his accountability and anti-corruption objectives when he was the federal minister.
"Realising that the issue was systematic and that he could not fix the rampant corruption in Pakistain, he resigned from Khan’s government in January 2022," it says.
It adds: "Shortly after Khan was ousted, Shahzad was placed on a no-fly list. His name was removed from the list after he was successful in a court challenge. On 17 April 2022, he fled to London via Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), to avoid being targeted by Pakistain and/or its agents.
"In December 2022, Shahzad settled in the UK and took on an in-house lawyer position with a UK company based in London. He claims that the government of Pakistain has continued to target him through acts of transnational repression."
The former minister claimed that in October 2023, he was informed by his acquaintances that the Pakistain High Commission in London was attempting to trace his home address.
In November 2023, Shahzad received a letter from the Pakistain High Commission demanding information about a confidential agreement involving the UK National Crime Agency.
The blurb says: "Two weeks later, on 26 November 2023, Shahzad suffered the acid attack. His wife and daughters were at home with him when the attacker struck. The assailant aimed acid from a bottle at Shahzad’s face, injuring his face, head and right arm. If it were not for his glasses, the acid would have also injured Shahzad’s eyes, likely causing permanent partial or complete blindness. Shahzad reacted quickly and slammed his front door. His skin began to melt, and he was in excruciating pain.
"Shahzad’s wife called 999 and the fire and rescue service hosed him down outside his home, in almost-freezing temperatures. Uncertain if the substance used was deadly, the emergency services took Shahzad to the Addenbrookes Hospital, in Cambridge. The attack has caused discolouration and/or hyperpigmentation of the areas of skin burned by the acid. Shahzad claims the attack was perpetrated and/or directed by Pakistain and/or its agents."
Akbar named Pakistain activists who were targeted abroad including Ahmad Waqas Goraya, Gul Bukhari, Fazal Khan and Arshad Sharif.
The Hertfordshire police had confirmed that Akbar had reported the acid assault on November 26 but the police have not charged anyone in the investigation.
[NYPOST] In the "pro-Paleostine" college protests, thunders Commentary’s Seth Mandel, "plenty of the followers are, like lots of the protest leaders, bigoted sociopaths. But it is in many ways just as upsetting that the narrative is being set — and that policy is getting changed — by ignorant lemmings." He flags one pair of NYU protesters: The first admits, "I think the goal is just showing our support for Paleostine and demanding that NYU stops — I honestly don’t know all of what NYU’s doing," then asks another, "Why are we protesting?" only to hear, "I wish I was more educated." Mourns Mandel: "Get enough of these bobbleheads together and you can scare the president of the United States away from vetoing a UN Security Council resolution on Gazoo
Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation. ." It’s time to "stop excusing the people who plead ignorance as they follow murder-minded grad students."

[GEO.TV] Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...hereditary prime minister of the Great White North... has assured nearly a million Canadians of Sikh heritage that his government will always be there to protect their rights and freedom, as tens of thousands raised slogans in support of Khalistan before the former on the occasion of Khalsa Day on Sunday in Toronto.
In the videos released by Sikh groups, chants of "Khalistan Zindabad" and tribute to "Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar" can be heard during the speech of PM Trudeau who looked on whilst a charged congregation of Sikhs raised slogans.
Pro-Khalistan slogans were also raised in the presence of opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and prominent Canadian Sikh leader Jagmeet Singh, chief of the New Democratic Party. All of them spoke to the Sikh crowd.
Trudeau told the crowd: "The story of the Sikh community in Canada is, in fact, the story of Canada...To the nearly 800 thousand Canadians of Sikh heritage across this country, we will always be there to protect your rights and your freedom, and we will always defend your community against hatred and discrimination."
The Canadian PM also said the country is enhancing the security and infrastructure programmes by "adding more security at community centres and places of worship, including Gurdwaras."
"Your right to practice your religion freely, and without intimidation is exactly that. A fundamental right guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that we will always stand up and defend you for," Trudeau assured the Sikh community in his Khalsa Day address in reference to the attacks Canadian Sikhs from the Indian govt.
[Breitbart] Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) expressed his full "support" for the United States to "bring in" Palestinian refugees from Gaza.
During an interview with a reporter from Yonkers Voice, Bowman said the U.S. is a "land of immigrants" and "asylum seekers" that has always opened its "doors to immigrants," saying, "[I] fully support that," in response to a question regarding the U.S. opening its doors to migrants from Gaza.
"Should the United States bring in people from Gaza?" the reporter asked Bowman.
"We are a land of migrants, and we are a land of asylum seekers — anyone escaping persecution and oppression and violence — the United States has always been an open home to those people," Bowman answered:

Soylent Green is Gazans!
I am sure there is nothing sinister in all these meat processing plants hiring illegals. I just wonder how many of 'workers' suddenly stop showing up for work one day.

"Tucked away in the $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan is a $3.5 billion slush fund to open new processing centers for Muslim migrants, in what Sen. Eric Schmitt described as a bid to "supercharge mass migration from the Middle East."

This deserves its own post. I love whoever did this.
Those at the anti-Israel UCLA encampment are subjected to the horrors Hamas unleashed on Israel on October 7.
An anonymous group has funded and constructed a giant screen with loudspeakers outside the @UCLA Pro-Hamas Encampments showing footage of the October 7 Massacre on loop.
[GEO.TV] In his first speech on the National Assembly’s floor, Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...the political wing of the Pak Taliban... -Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman ...Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty. Fazl seldom misses a meal and is now so large he has his own gravitational pull... blasted the government, outcomes of the 2024 nationwide elections, parliamentarians, bureaucracy, and the establishment on Monday.
"Neither bureaucracy nor establishment has a role in the creation of the country," Maulana Fazl said while delivering a speech on the assembly’s floor today, adding that Pakistain was created through a democratic struggle and sacrifices but it stood nowhere in terms of political and economic stability.
He criticised the ruling parties, saying: "Is this a parliament of representatives of the nation or a setup arranged by the establishment?"
"How our conscience is satisfied [after the general elections], as the losers are upset, and even the winners are not satisfied [with the poll results]."
Fazlu rehman speach NA
During his speech, the politician-cum-holy man backed Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) big shot Asad Qaiser’s demand for granting the right to the latter’s party to organise public gatherings, terming it the Imran-founded party’s "constitutional right".
The PTI politicians in the National Assembly thumped their desks in support of Maulana Fazl’s remarks.
He went on to say that democracy in the country was weakened after politicians "compromised" on their principles on every occasion and now, the parliament has lost its supremacy as they cannot even pass a law independently.
Fazl also said that back-to-back "full and partial" martial laws have also shaken the democratic foundations of the country by ousting elected governments.
He pointed out that the ruling Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) was a witness to how a law related to an agreement between the federal government and seminaries had not been passed despite being tabled in the assembly with consensus.
The JUI-F supremo said that they raised objections on the 2018 general polls just like they opposed the 2024 nationwide elections, terming it similarly "fraudulent" as the politicians "sold out the democracy" due to the country coming to a "standstill".
The politico, who headed a multi-party alliance — Pakistain Democratic Movement (PDM) — which successfully ousted the former prime minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders... ’s government in 2022, criticised that his party leaders were stopped from electioneering ahead of February 8 elections due to "threat letters", pointing towards deteriorated law and order situation in their stronghold of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... .

[GEO.TV] The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Executive Board has approved the last tranche of $1.1 billion for Pakistain under the $3 billion Stand-By Arrangement (SBA), Geo News reported on Monday.
"The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the second and final review of Pakistain’s economic reform program supported by the IMF’s Stand-By Arrangement (SBA)," the international lender said in an official statement issued on its website on Monday.
"The Board’s decision allows for an immediate disbursement of SDR 828 million (around $1.1 billion), bringing total disbursements under the arrangement to SDR 2.250 billion (about $3 billion)."
"Pakistain’s determined policy efforts under the 2023 Stand‑By Arrangement (SBA) have brought progress in restoring economic stability. Moderate growth has returned; external pressures have eased; and while still elevated, inflation has begun to decline. Given the significant challenges ahead, Pakistain should capitalize on this hard‑won stability, persevering—beyond the current arrangement—with sound macroeconomic policies and structural reforms to create stronger, inclusive, and sustainable growth. Continued external support will also be critical," said Antoinette Sayeh, Deputy Managing Director and Chair.
"The State Bank of Pakistain’s tight monetary policy stance remains appropriate until inflation returns to more moderate levels. Further improvements in the functioning of the foreign exchange (FX) market, together with a market‑determined exchange rate, will help buffer external shocks and attract financing, thereby supporting competitiveness and growth. The significant rebuilding of FX reserves under the SBA needs to continue. Moreover, stronger action to address undercapitalized financial institutions and, more broadly, vigilance over the financial sector are needed to ensure financial stability."

Pakistan has a history of borrowing from the International Monetary Fund since becoming a member in 1950. Previously, it has borrowed from the IMF on twenty-two occasions.
[IsraelTimes] US Congress members from both parties have warned the International Criminal Court that Washington will retaliate against the court if it issues arrest warrants against top Israeli officials, Axios reports.
The report says legislation on the matter is already being worked on, citing House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, as expecting a bill to sanction ICC officials but adding: "We hope it doesn’t come to that."
Meanwhile, US House Speaker Mike Johnson
…who has made the whole Israel/Hamas/antisemitism protests one of his major causes…
slams the reported intention to issue arrest warrants over the Gaza war.
"It is disgraceful that the International Criminal Court is reportedly planning to issue baseless and illegitimate arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials," Johnson says in a statement.
"Such a lawless action by the ICC would directly undermine US national security interests. If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel, thereby endangering our country’s sovereign authority," Johnson adds. It's the same kind that riot on your campuses - just grown up.

He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked.

I would love to hear the actual conference call audio of what JB sounded like.
Or was it filtered thru an interpreter to mask his mental state issues?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
