LET HUMANITY WIN.

By Zahid Hussain Gardezi

Living in harmony with nature has always helped humanity and all Natures endowments to sustain and live a longer peaceful life.

Whenever human races have rebelled against Nature, it unleashes series of catastrophes in shape of Tsunami, earth quakes and hurricanes. The mosaic of human development and obliteration is spread on a large canvass beginning from Hazrat Adam A.S. the Father of Human Race and is looked with reverence as the First Prophet of God among 124000 prophets which includes twenty five messengers of GOD mentioned in the Holy Quran.  The sheer arrogance of mankind has brought it on the verge of disaster.  There is virtually a very delicate moral balances between mankind and nature, which, whenever disrupted, has disastrous consequences. Millions of generations of Prophets have perished till the last “Messenger of GOD” preached goodness to them till finality, which will be the day of reckoning and Judgment by The Creator. Those arrogant forces and people who think they can play god with His creation are a threat to the survival of mankind. Every century faces a new cult challenging the morality of religions spread among the people which actually are messages of peace, tranquility and brotherhood.

Today we brace Talibanisation, earlier it was frankestian Ku Klan Klux desiring a purist Whiteman society through violence.  Ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, the role to annihilate Jews by Nazi, the ISSI Islamic State and the radical faction in Hindu religion are all ingredients of obliteration and should be abhorred. Prior to it were hoards of barbarians who descended on the civilization and took pleasure to kill humans and erect towers of beheaded human skulls, burnt libraries and properties. These uncanny cults and disdainful acts throughout human development has filled pages of history with grubby references, yet the downward slide continues.

There was a woman liberation movement in France where liberal women Associations agitated and desired that due to infinite developments in Science, it is now time to burden the Men to bear children’s through Genetic modification and artificial ovaries and test-tube intrusion. The Government of France had to initiate research on volunteers and a modified womb was implanted in enthusiastic volunteer men and test tube fertilization was induced. Gradually as the implanted children’s began to grow, many volunteers complained of discomfort as the restructured womb could not accommodate the growing child as is done in feminist wombs. Few men died due to smashed kidneys and other complications and the scientist had to abort others. So any act in conflict with nature has to meet its fate as failure.

A similar frightening scenario is visible due to political hegemony of people and Nations. A world full to the brim with Weapons of Mass Destructions is all instruments of gloom and doom.

This could be a catastrophe which would extinguish Earth-originating intelligent life or permanently destroys a substantial part of its potential.  Such things jeopardize the entire future of Mankind and conscious life.

There are significant psychological barriers to overcome to mobilize mankind and people to prevent manmade disasters towards extinction of life on this heavenly Mother Earth.  There are people who would be emotionally crushed just hearing about a tortured child or animal, but may not register even the slightest emotional response when contemplating the idea that all human life may one day become extinct.

On the whole, our evolved minds do not appear naturally predisposed to think long-term about risks on a global scale. From what we know about evolutionary history and mechanisms, this is completely understandable.

The risks of global commotion should not be underestimated. “The Black Death” plague during the 13th till 15th century devastated Europe, killing 1/3 of the entire population. The consequences of large asteroid impact on the course of life on Earth are also well established. 65 million years ago a six mile wide asteroid plunged into Earth and exploded. Shock waves, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and dust blocking out the Sun resulted in mass extinctions, including the dinosaurs.

The prevention of existential catastrophe may not be receiving enough attention, and should be one of human civilizations highest priorities. The inter Nations conflicts sucking life out of humanity in Kashmir, in Palestine in Yemen and even in Afghanistan and elsewhere  should be handled with sagacity and with the  deepest possible morality and genuine compassion and concern for people, life, and the future of humanity. We owe our existence to chains of generations that have survived, and we now ought not to abandon the future great epic that our ancestors have struggled for millions of years.  Gruesome scenes are seen from across the globe where heads of living people are hacked and paraded on poles or kicked as footballs. Hands are chopped in glaring view of cameras. The gory shooting of Palestinians and indiscriminate bombing of Yemenese people and children are making news headlines. The atrocities in Kashmir and the fate of non-Hindu people at the hands of cult sponsoring BJP terrorist minds are saddening but have become the best seller news stories of incubated interest groups. Modism is on rampage with the youngsters humiliating old and young Muslims alike. The Prime Ministers or Presidents of a Country represent the sane minds of a Nation, but sadly today it is the excellence in point scoring which is making its mark.  Common man both in India and Pakistan desire to survive peacefully, but uncanny minds on both sides promote abhorrence in the name of god with their own conception in minds. Hindu extremists bestow their love on Cows and monkeys more than human being.

Then there are nations in this mortal world who suffer from supremacy syndrome. These Nations have a record of plundering under developed Nations and not going much beyond history, the East India Company which ruled subcontinent is a glaring example. The global lender agencies, the IMF, WB, agencies of AID. These helping agencies have strings attached to their lending’s and also have identical practices of subjugation. There has never been free lunch. Pakistan unfortunately was dragged into the quagmire by our earliest leadership. The volatile era of rejoicing common men crossing the blood-line drawn between India and Pakistan were not all aware about global check-mates except becoming citizens of a new Muslim state. The events which are briefly narrated reflects the insensitivity of the rulers when we read about the father of a Nation breathing his last in a broken Ambulance on Drigh Road Karachi, the brutal  murder of Liaquat Ali Khan.

Later a paralyzed and mentally deranged bureaucrat Muhammad Ali was positioned to be the front-man as civil and Military bureaucracy took control of the Country.  The direction of Countries relationship was maneuvered towards the western world and our former colonial rulers while neighborhood nations were suspiciously ignored as we joined Baghdad Pacts, became members of SEATO and CENTO and finally non NATO allies to become partner in breaking USSR which  infact  was a lesser evil than the USA and its allies. History of terrorism begins when we deprive people, Nations, Nationalities of their genuine rights.  We suffered badly by becoming partners in crime by joining hands with USA and its allies knowing well that these capitalist states could not get hold of Vietnamese , Korean except the little portion as South Korea. USA could not subjugate a  tiny island under Fidel Castro just beneath its largeness. Cuba is a prospering country.

I believe we are on the verge of being alienated by our neighbors through same global forces who see threats in development of a hub through CPEC, Iran Afghanistan and Central Asian States. Pakistan leadership voluntarily offers them safe houses to keep themselves well entrenched thereby never looking towards the fatal aspect of such indifference. IMF has been used many times but only on their terms. Aliens did promote Moeenuddin Ahmed Qureshi  and even Shaukat Aziz to rule us as their proxy, while People of Pakistan were only asked to locate grave of mother of Moeen Qureshi in a graveyard in Lahore to appease him.

Bureacrate become “Baboos“, Military Bureaucracy becomes the sole custodians of patriotism and their cohorts from people become politicians. Who promoted Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, it was Sikander Mirza and Ayub Khan, Who brought in Mian Sahibaan, was it not Zia ul Haq, Chaudry brothers remained safe due to their ideology of electing Musharaf hundred times in uniform.

And finally the cohort of Taliban under retd. General Hameed Gul included our present PM who till this day is sometimes sarcastically called as Talibaan Khan.

The patriot leadership died with stigma of being agents, some were Russian Agents others Chinese and even Indian. The three times person voted as PM is stated to be more interested in trade with Indian Steel Baron Jandal than in Pakistan. So prosperity may not be seen by the current outgoing generation which include our aged PM and opposition leadership but may be by newly promoted Bureaucracy as their tenures end with retirement forgetting all the ills done while till this day GM. Syed Maulana Bahshani and even Abdul Sattar Edhi are hounded in graves. Ajmal Khan Khattak a patriotic pakhtun and great leader from NWFP now KPK grave was vandalized.

We have always been indifferent to the fluctuating love affair with USA and its allies who have always a targeted agenda in their hindsight. The phenomena of Arab Spring which started in Tunisia after a minor self immolation episode by a street vendor against Government of Zainul Abedeen in 2010 took many heads in the Muslim World which was full to the brim with Natural resources. The chain reaction followed in Egypt as Hosni Mubarak ended his humble services, Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and killed so was Yemini President Saleh. President Asad of Syria would have been the victim if President Putin of Russia had not intervened. Earlier there had been attempts to subjugate Iraq through hoax of WMD’s by USA. Even an attempt to malign Iran by coaxing Iraq to attack neighbouring Muslim Iran. It was not unfound love for Democracy in Arab World by USA when Iraq was targeted on false reports of WMD but USA had in mind a quick and decisive victory in the heart of the Arab world to send a message to all countries, especially to recalcitrant regimes such as Syria, Libya, Iran, or North Korea, that American hegemony was here to stay. In other words the Iraq war was motivated by a desire to re-establish American standing as the world’s leading power.The history shows a glaring contempt of regional politics.

The two Countries coming out scratch free from what

has happened are USA satellites States of Israel and  monarchy of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Things have not ended here. The situation in Afghanistan, Kashmir and Yemen is a curse as Pakistan is again being readied for future adventures of the capitalist allies who are zeroing on peaceful Iran and even denying Pakistan from advantageous energy resources next door. Chinas intrusion under CPEC is also unnerving the western allies who have friends within to destabilize the region.

One should refer to a very old strategic understanding by western lobbies that Third World War, which could become MAD Mutually Assured Destruction through WMD should necessarily be initiated in the most populous poverty stricken regions of Asia to get rid of billions which could enable the developed world to share bounties with the others. A sad story I believe. On the other side         Ledeen Doctrine”, named after neoconservative historian Michael Ledeen. The doctrine states: “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.”

I believe in the discreet trek of this policy towards Pakistan who has not fully adorned its relationship with the Chinese Block which could balance the fragmentation. The policies of Pakistan for establishment of strategic depth in Afghanistan burdened us with caretaking of 4 Million Afghan refugees and an open cross border movement of talibans trading heroine drug and opium. The influx of sophisticated weaponry has also undermined our trek towards developing understanding with India after Bajpai visit by bus through Kargil operation by a power seeker commando general shouting “ Sub Say Pehlay Pakistan”  (Pakistan comes First).

The scenario seems to be gloomy as the Chinese Road to Belt initiative would ultimately not be a concrete six or eight lane motorways but a corridor of oil and energy pipelines from Iran, Iraq Tajikistan to China which is keeping the region embroiled and disappointment for Anglo Indian hegemony. Pakistan may have to face the consequences.

Trump is desperately trying to build a storm and a case against Iran under false allegations. Initially the  US Fleet was stationed in International waters for safety of  the regional allies especially Saudi Arabia and Israel. Later oil tankers were discreetly attacked and fingers pointed to Iran and of late a bigger excuse of downing a US drone which was on spying mission in the waters of Iran. The global conscious is all sold out as President Trump has been continuously chattering about strengthening Israel by ordering annexation of Jerusalem and Golan heights, now named after him. Saudi Arab has been rescinded from censure when an American journalist was cut to pieces in Saudi Embassy in Turkey. Attack on Iran will not be limited to Iran but can destabilize the region under larger enclave. UNO should act urgently.
