All over the world, the system
of political democracy is showing itself to be in what may be a terminal phase.
The absolute myth of political democracy as the terminal stage of human
evolution (‘End of History’) has been coming apart dramatically in various parts
of the world. Already the mathematical principle of majority rule has again and
again been demonstrated as false. The insisted-upon multi-party pattern of
democracy can now clearly be seen as legendary. The party in power is in most
cases a minority party of any given total electorate. With voter turn-out around
the 50 per cent mark across the world, this means that the winning majority
party is in fact a minority of a minority. It is not, however, the shattered
nature of its foundational logic, majority rule, which has plunged political
democracy into terminal crisis.
The fundamental and obligatory doctrine of this system of government can be
defined in its declared rule: the State must not interfere with the Market.
Assuming the masses to be simpletons, it takes this simplistic slogan as its
deep philosophy. It tells us that the business of government is to govern, and
the market must be free to regulate itself and deal with its own fluctuating
monetary crises.
The immediate result of this is that political democracy is a bureaucratic
system which tries to serve and placate the masses by the unique procedure of
taxing the registered voters, and then spending that money in their name. All
the while real wealth, the vast, massive conglomerate bulk of the world’s
assembled commodities – the oil, the precious metals and minerals, the
corporately owned millions of hectares, the timber, the food-stuffs, and the two
most powerful of all financial accretions: armaments and illegal drugs – all of
that is off-limits to the political class with only a token exception. What is
that exception? It is that necessary procedure to deflect from the educated
class the risk that they grasp what has happened to the world’s wealth. The
means to this is that government and the media are permitted to examine the
private phenomenon of corruption. The exposure of the corrupt deal is the
guarantee that the masses will never realise that such a criminal is a paltry
individual mis-using a paltry amount of wealth, while the great crime of all the
world’s wealth embedded in the financial system remains secure from social
reformation.
Political democracy is staggering from crisis to crisis. A U.S. President on a
fixed Ohio ballot, Florida re-counts, and finally a casting Republican vote in
the Supreme Court, is ‘elected’ to office. Staged pacifist revolutions become
instruments of forcibly taking over whole countries in order to oblige them to
adopt democracy. An Orange Revolution in Ukraine. A Cedar Revolution in Lebanon.
In the Argentine, when the Peronist husband’s democratic mandate is finished,
his wife is set up as the next incumbent. In Russia the below-stairs torturer of
the KGB as he nears the end of his democratic mandate reconstructs a
Constitution so that he can pass from Presidency to Premiership and continue,
business as usual.
With political discourse virtually at an end following the inability of the
Left/Right dialectic now clearly irrelevant at this stage of capitalism, the
victim becomes the rational process itself. When Ernst Jünger told me that
freedom was the rational process, I must confess I failed to grasp the
profundity of his insight. I can now see that he meant that civic freedom can
only be removed by an open interdiction of rational thought.
There is now something called the War on Terror. We have been informed that it
may last half a century. It is a phantom enemy without a philosophy, without a
leadership, with no apparent financial backing, and the whole world is its
war-zone. The handful of people captured have proved to be impoverished low-life
characters without education, emerging from no known social nexus. Two
skyscrapers destroyed, several planes crashed with all on board, a few trains
blown up, and a couple of buses. What is the response? Two devastating invasions
of two formerly sovereign nations, Iraq and Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands
of dead from Mosul to Mazar-e-Sharif. The quite astonishing dismantlement of the
whole legal framework assuring the civil liberty of the individual inside the
ancient kingdom of Britain and the nation dedicated to freedom, the USA. What is
the War on Terror? Bin Laden, an ex-CIA operative turned adventurer mis-spending
his family’s wealth, and the lone comic figure of the semi-literate, semi-idiot
shoe-bomber? These, and a handful of disgruntled and embittered social misfits
versus the armed might of the USA and its allies alongside the forces of the
NATO organisation, whose mercenaries are exempted from criminal prosecution in
any country!
Tonight the world-renowned and respected former cricketer, and the leader of a
licensed political party, was arrested in a violent confrontation on the campus
of Lahore University. Imran Khan was taken, incommunicado, to be flung into one
of the dungeons of the fascist dictator now recognised and accepted by all the
world’s democracies as a legitimate Head of State. It was enough that the
dictator said he was fighting the War on Terror that the until-then sacred
doctrine of democracy was trampled in the dust. The arrest of Imran Khan has
done two things.
Firstly, it places before the whole world the political fact that now Imran Khan
alone is the champion of that freedom which Jünger called rational discourse.
The dictator has charged Imran Khan, who is a genuine democrat, under the
anti-terrorist laws which have devastated the civic order of Pakistan.
Secondly, it lays bare that the system of political democracy, so traduced in
Pakistan, in its failure to cover up its own essential flaw – that government
governs but does not touch the money – has at last revealed the real crime in
Pakistan against the Pakistani nation. Do not look at the failed politicians. Do
not look at the floundering and disintegrating personality of Musharraf. His
uneducated condition, his appalling Urdu, these are now the subject of mockery
across the world wherever Pakistanis live.
Now let us look at the real issue in Pakistan. Let us make no mistake. The
reason Imran Khan has been arrested is because while the political class
floundered in this crisis, he alone saw the real issues. Firstly, the
independent judiciary and its Supreme Judges must be re-instated. Secondly, the
High Command of the Pakistani Army must be brought to the table of justice. The
High Command of the Pakistani Army have betrayed their people, and honour
itself. The military budget, that is the arms budget, has to be dismantled. That
is far from being enough. An absolutely open and transparent report must be
published for the Pakistani people to see, and the world. The wealth of the
Chiefs of Staff, not only personal but in the astonishing spread of that wealth
into corporate and land holdings must be exposed. The following list of
commanders indicates an elite class who from all accounts in significant numbers
have been inducted into masonic, atheist and anti-Islamic entities.
Collectively these men are responsible for a shameful tyranny over the greatest
nation on earth today. Called upon from this website to rescue their country,
they showed supreme indifference. The bitter irony, for them, of the present
crisis, is that in the tragic event of it being resolved in terms of this army
dictatorship, it would immediately lead to the next phase of Pakistani history.
That phase would be that the nation would be treated as a colonial power
occupied by its own security forces. At that moment the new masters of Pakistan
would in the shortest possible time dismantle the Pakistani Army and replace it
with a civic police system in the manner that the USA governs Costa Rica. Here
is a recent list of Pakistan’s Guilty Men. For the in-depth scientific analysis
of this matter concerning the corruption of the Pakistani military, it is
important that the scholarly work of Ayesha Siddique, ‘Military Inc.’, is read
and given the widest dissemination. In Miss Siddique’s analysis, she summarises
a situation with an estimated £10bn of military wealth divided between £6bn in
land and the rest in private assets.

It is the duty of all of us, the people of Pakistan, the greater Ummah, and
those thinking non-Muslims who are aware that fascism did not die in 1945 – all
of us must be determined to see the militarism of Pakistan dismantled. It is not
the Muslims who are to be feared in Pakistan, of whatever School. It is a
Military, glutted with greed, in whose hands is the Ultimate Deterrent, who must
be feared.
If we want the omelette, then the eggs must be broken.
