PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
Protocol No. 18 – Arrest of Opponents
1. When it becomes necessary for us to strengthen the strict measures of secret defense (the most fatal poison for the prestige of authority) we shall arrange a simulation of disorders or some manifestation of discontents finding expression through the co- operation of good speakers. Round these speakers will assemble all who are sympathetic to his utterances. This will give us the pretext for domiciliary perquisitions and surveillance on the part of our servants from among the number of the GOYIM police…
2. As the majority of conspirators act of love for the game, for the sake of talking, so, until they commit some overt act we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce into their midst observation elements …. It must be remembered that the prestige of authority is lessened if it frequently discovers conspiracies against itself: this implies a presumption of consciousness of weakness, or what is still worse, of injustice. You are aware that we have broken the prestige of the GOY kings by frequent attempts upon their lives through our agents, blind sheep of our flock, who are easily moved by a few liberal phrases to crimes provided only they be painted in political colors. WE HAVE COMPELLED THE RULERS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR WEAKNESS IN ADVERTISING OVERT MEASURES OF SECRETE DEFENSE AND THEREBY WE SHALL BRING THE PROMISE OF AUTHORITY TO DESTRUCTION.
3. Our ruler will be secretly protected only by the most insignificant guard, because we shall not admit so much as a thought that there could exist against him any sedition with which he is not strong enough to contend and is compelled to hide from it.
4. If we should admit this thought, as the GOYIM have done and are doing, we should IPSO FACTO be signing a death sentence, if not for our ruler, at any rate for his dynasty, at no distant date.
GOVERNMENT BY FEAR
5. According to strictly enforced outward appearances our ruler will employ his power only for the advantage of the nation and in no wise for his own or dynastic profits. Therefore, with the observance of this decorum, his authority will be respected and guarded by the subjects themselves, it will receive an apotheosis in the admission that with it is bound up the well-being of every citizen of the State, for upon it will depend all order in the common life of the pack ….
6. OVERT DEFENSE OF THE KIND ARGUES WEAKNESS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF HIS STRENGTH.
7. Our ruler will always be among the people and be surrounded by a mob of apparently curious men and women, who will occupy the front ranks about him, to all appearance by chance, and will restrain the ranks of the rest out of respect as it will appear for good order. This will sow an example of restraint also in others. If a petitioner appears among the people trying to hand a petition and forcing his way through the ranks, the first ranks must receive the petition and before the eyes of the petitioner pass it to the ruler, so that all may know that what is handed in reaches its destination, that consequently, there exists a control of the ruler himself. The aureole of power requires for is existence that the people may be able to say: “If the king knew of this,” or: “the king will hear it.”
8. WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICIAL DEFENSE, THE MYSTICAL PRESTIGE OF AUTHORITY DISAPPEARS: given a certain audacity, and everyone counts himself master of it, the sedition- monger is conscious of his strength, and when occasion serves watches for the moment to make an attempt upon authority …. For the GOYIM we have been preaching something else, but by that very fact we are enabled to see what measures of overt defense have brought them to ….
9. CRIMINALS WITH US WILL BE ARRESTED AT THE FIRST, more or less, well-grounded SUSPICION: it cannot be allowed that out of fear of a possible mistake an opportunity should be given of escape to persons suspected of a political lapse of crime, for in these matters we shall be literally merciless. If it is still possible, by stretching a point, to admit a reconsideration of the motive causes in simple crimes, there is no possibility of excuse for persons occupying themselves with questions in which nobody except the government can understand anything …. And it is not all governments that understand true policy.

Pakistan's struggle for transparency, trust…

The remarkable turnout was a resounding protest against the attempted political oppression (Illustrated by Arwa Makki; Al Mayadeen English)
In the annals of Pakistan’s political saga, this election emerged as a defining event. Despite all the challenges, the electorate managed to defy all odds and turned out in unprecedented numbers, tearing through the barriers of fear in pursuit of change through the ballot. Yet, their resounding and decisive voices are being drowned out once again. This remarkable turnout was a resounding protest against the attempted political oppression and the archaic status quo, reflecting the evident anti-establishment sentiment within the country.
The question should not be whether this election was truly free or fair. The persistent perception of unfairness has marred Pakistan's electoral landscape for years, and the 12th general election on February 8 only added to the existing skepticism. Questions should be raised about the integrity of the institutions of Pakistan. After Prime Minister Khan's third conviction in less than a week, resulting in an unbelievable sentence exceeding 30 years in prison, the murky machinations of the security establishment were exposed, casting a dark cloud over the legitimacy of the electoral process. This latest conviction has brought disgrace upon the nation and laid bare the mockery of justice.
The impartiality of the ECP as the guardian angel of free elections is now under intense scrutiny. The biased actions against a specific party directly undermine the assurances of the caretaker administration and the Election Commission of Pakistan regarding a level playing field and fair polls. What was meant to be a clear path of victory for the PML-N turned into a wave of popular dissent against the state.
While allegations of rigging and election day anomalies are not novel in Pakistan, the manipulation of election results undermines the country's power structures and has effectively led to growing public distrust in the system. The loss of faith in the state by the nation emerges as the most formidable challenge stemming from this election.
There are always genuine security concerns that loom large in the country, particularly as the general elections approach. This year, it was radical militants and Baloch insurgents intensifying their attacks in an attempt to disrupt and discredit the democratic process. Between February 1 and 9, there were 36 out of 63 reported terrorist attacks directly linked to election violence.
Law enforcement agencies were aware of the heightened threat of attacks and could have devised more strategic security plans. However, their choice of a blanket shutdown of mobile services across the country on this pivotal day seemed excessive and potentially harmful to the democratic process. Despite these drastic measures, the terrorists managed to carry out 11 attacks in high-risk areas.
Pakistan has heavily invested in developing counterterrorism infrastructure, such as specialized departments like the National Counter Terrorism Authority with dedicated security cells and forces. If these institutions couldn't formulate a comprehensive security plan for the elections, it's imperative for the state and the incoming parliament to critically evaluate their performance and resource allocation.
What Pakistan required was the most transparent elections in its history to restore public faith in the system. Unfortunately, the deep state in Pakistan often prioritizes "imposing order", sometimes to the detriment of political and social stability. While they may believe that order brings discipline and stability, they consistently overlook how their policies erode their legitimacy in imposing such order.
The prevalent abnormalities in the polls have garnered a strong international response. The US, the UK, and the EU have all expressed concerns about Pakistan's electoral process and have called for investigations into the reported irregularities. However, perhaps the most embarrassing critique came from the UN Secretary-General, who urged Pakistani authorities and political leaders to address election-related issues "through established legal frameworks.”
These international statements underscore a deteriorating global perception of Pakistan's democratic process and raise questions about the alleged involvement of the security establishment in manipulating the electoral process, evident in its inescapable influence.
In a remarkable move, the army chief also called on Pakistan's political parties to forge a "unified government" to steer the country away from the politics of "anarchy and polarization." Such political intrusions by the military leadership are not rare even though this does not come within their mandate. However, given the entrenched involvement of the security establishment in the political landscape, it's not entirely surprising. It also sheds light on the evolving civil-military dynamics in Pakistan.
The military elite has often struggled with legitimacy crises, often seeking refuge behind a civilian facade. However, history has proved that despite numerous attempts at political engineering, the people have consistently asserted their own will. The establishment often forgets that such persistent meddling in political affairs inevitably yields undesirable consequences.
Is this orchestrated chaos a misguided attempt at crisis management, as the establishment loses its grip over the international narrative? Daily revelations from various quarters, including disillusioned civil servants, hint at internal friction, if not outright breakdown.
There is mass hysteria within the country, and while the media bear some responsibility for it, they are not solely culpable. Decades of political engineering have created a system teetering under the weight of distortions and mutations, now imploding before our eyes.
The only path to halting the perpetual crises in Pakistani politics is for influential factions to cease their manipulation of political parties and allow genuinely elected representatives to shape the nation's future.
Artificially constructed entities have fleeting relevance and ultimately get rejected by the voters. True political forces emerge when they distance themselves from their creators and seek legitimacy solely from the people.
Even behind bars, Khan's adept use of populist rhetoric has disrupted the established playbook. Those who believed they held perpetual control over power mechanisms now face the unintended consequences of their actions.
The unfolding chaos, underscored by the events of February 8, hints at potentially graver consequences. The future remains uncertain, but one thing is evident: to rein in chaos and anarchy, new rules of engagement must be established. This pertains not only to relations between the security establishment and political leadership but also within the political sphere itself.

Imran Khan declares victory in Pakistan election marred by vote-rigging accusations

Pakistan cricket hero turned politician Imran Khan claimed victory on Thursday in the country's general election, in a poll marked by violence and accusations of vote-rigging by rivals.
Partial and unofficial tallies showed Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party enjoying a clear lead, despite no official confirmation of results from Pakistan's election commission almost 24 hours after polls closed on Wednesday.
"We were successful and we were given a mandate," Khan, 65, said during a live broadcast.
He went on to call the elections the "most transparent" in the country's history.
Khan's statement came several hours after his supporters took to the streets to celebrate winning an election that opponents have said the powerful military rigged in his favour.
The unprecedented delay in counting votes, along with a surprisingly strong lead for Khan, have fuelled widespread fears over the legitimacy of the exercise.
Newspapers and television channels have been predicting victory for PTI since late Wednesday. By Thursday partial, unofficial results gave him at least 100 seats so far in the National Assembly, the lower house.
A majority of 137 seats is needed to form a government.
The Election Commission of Pakistan dismissed allegations of manipulation, blaming the delay on glitches in new, untested counting software.
"These elections were 100 percent fair and transparent," said Chief Election Commissioner Sardar Muhammad Raza early Thursday as the outcry grew.
Election authorities have not yet confirmed when they expect to announce the results. Some reports suggested it would not be until Thursday evening at the earliest.
Election observers, including a mission from the European Union, are due to give their own observations on the voting process on Friday.
The military, which had been accused of seeking to manipulate the vote in Khan's favour in the months leading up to the polls, has not yet commented on the situation. It and Khan have previously denied allegations of intervention.
Late Wednesday, the once-mighty Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which had been in power since 2013, rejected the results because of "outright rigging," and vowed it would use "all political and legal options for redressal of these glaring excesses".
Other major parties also alleged fraud, including the left-wing Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
The size of Khan's lead against the PML-N, when many analysts had predicted a coalition would be likely, was also increasing concern over the process.
At least one party - Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP), which blockaded the capital Islamabad for weeks last year over blasphemy - has already announced it is planning protests.
The controversy over the vote follows a campaign already considered by some observers to be one of the "dirtiest" in Pakistan's history.
Wednesday's elections were meant to be a rare democratic transition from one civilian government to another in the young, nuclear-armed country which has been ruled by the military for roughly half its history.
Khan, who captained Pakistan to their World Cup cricket victory in 1992, was dogged by the accusations he was benefiting from a "silent coup" by the generals which targeted the PML-N. Nawaz Sharif was ousted from power last year and jailed over a corruption conviction days before the vote, removing Khan's most dangerous rival.
The military has also stationed over 370,000 personnel across Pakistan to what it says ensure security for the election, bolstered by an additional 450,000 police.
But a blast at a polling station in the restive Balochistan province, Pakistan's poorest, which is plagued by Islamist and separatist insurgencies, left at least 31 dead on Wednesday.
The contest has largely become a two-way race between PTI, and the incumbent PML-N of ousted premier Nawaz Sharif, whose brother Shahbaz is leading its campaign.
Khan has also increasingly catered to Islamist groups, sparking fears a win for PTI could embolden hardliners.

Protocol XII – Control of the Press (((The Atlantic)))... Satanism is a Jewish Cult.
❝Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control. Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate to them.❞
