US Attempting to Trigger Color Revolution in PakistanAs Pakistan reasserts national-sovereignty, the US responds with arming and backing Baluchi terrorists. Carving up Pakistan by fomenting separatist movements along Pakistans western border has been on the US geopolitical drawing board for years. As reported in December 2011s, The Coming War With Pakistan: In a 2006 report by the corporate-financier funded think tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace titled, Pakistan: The Resurgence of Baluch Nationalism, violence starting as early as 2004-2005 is described. According to the report, 20% of Pakistans mineral and energy resources reside in the sparsely populated province. On page 4 of the report, the prospect of using the Baluchi rebels against both Islamabad and Tehran is proposed. In Seymour Hershs 2008 article, Preparing the Battlefield, US support of Baluchi groups operating against Tehran is reported as already a reality. As already mentioned, in Brookings Institutions Which Path to Persia? the subject of arming and sending Baluchi insurgents against Tehran is also discussed at great depth. The 2006 Carnegie Endowment for International Peace report makes special note of the fact that above all, the Baluchistan province serves as a transit zone for a potential Iranian-India-Turkmenistan natural gas pipeline as well as a port, Gwadar, that serves as a logistical hub for Afghanistan, Central Asias landlocked nations as well as a port for the Chinese. The report notes that the port was primarily constructed with Chinese capital and labor with the intention of it serving as a Chinese naval station to protect Beijings oil supply from the Middle East and to counter the US presence in Central Asia. This point in particular, regarding China, was described in extricating detail in the 2006 Strategic Studies Institutes report String of Pearls: Meeting the Challenge of Chinas Rising Power across the Asian Littoral. Throughout the report means to co-opt and contain Chinas influence throughout the region are discussed. The Carnegie Endowment report goes on to describe how the Baluchi rebels have fortuitously begun attacking the development of their province over concerns of marginalization and dispossession. In particular attacks were launched against the Pakistani military and Chinese facilities. The question of foreign intervention is brought up in this 2006 report, based on accusations by the Pakistani government that the rebels are armed with overly sophisticated weaponry. India, Iran, and the United States are accused as potential culprits. The report concludes that virtually none of Pakistans neighbors would benefit from the insurgency and that the insurgency itself has no possibility of succeeding without foreign support. The conflict is described as a potential weapon that could be used against Pakistan and that it is ultimately Islamabad that must decide whether Baluchistan will become its Achilles heel. This somewhat cryptic conclusion, in the light of recent reports and developments can be deciphered as a veiled threat now being openly played. Quite obviously, tensions between the US and Pakistan have only further deteriorated, with the West playing victim accusing Pakistan of double dealing them during Americas decade-long occupation of neighboring Afghanistan and frequent cross-border murder-sprees in Pakistani territory. Pakistan has more recently passed a resolution calling for the cessation of all US drone attacks on Pakistani soil. Additionally, as noted by geopolitical analyst Eric Draitser of Stop Imperialism, Pakistan has also prepared provisions to ban foreign bases on Pakistani soil and stem US covert terrorist activities inside Pakistan operating under the guise of security contractors. US Prepares Armed Uprising The US had frequently answered the reassertion of Pakistani national sovereignty with random drone attacks on civilian populations, but seems now to be shifting into gear for a full-blown destabilization of Pakistans Baluchistan province. Violence has notably increased in tandem with calls from Western politicians to support the Free Baluchistan movement and the establishment of an independent Baluchistan carved out of sovereign Pakistani territory. The most astounding of these most recent calls is US Representative Dana Rohrabachers Why I support Baluchistan op-ed in the Washington Post. Rohrabacher cites the US State Department and Amnesty International which in reality are one in the same while accusing the Pakistani government of violations of human rights. He then, point-for-point, repeats the above mentioned corporate-financier funded US think-tanks regarding Baluchistans rich natural resources and the strategic location the provinces Gwadar seaport serves for the Chinese before admitting that Baluchistans brief period of autonomy resulted from the British Empire and the Persians carving it up as a buffer state. Image: Gwadar in the southwest serves as a Chinese port and the starting point for a logistical corridor through Pakistan and into Chinese territory. The Iranian-Pakistani-Indian pipeline would enter from the west, cross through Baluchistan intersecting Chinas proposed logistical route to the northern border, and continue on to India. Destabilizing Baluchistan would effectively derail the geopolitical aspirations of four nations. Just like the US used fighters in the 1980s in Afghanistan to fight a proxy war against the Soviets, the US is now planing to use Baluchi terrorists to wage war against both Pakistan and Iran. Rohrabacher is just the latest peddler of a geopolitical ploy long since predetermined, and echos verbatim of calls by Selig Harrison of the Soros-funded Center for International Policy, in editorials like Free Baluchistan, and The Chinese Cozy Up to the Pakistanis. US Already Subverting Pakistani Governance in Baluchistan As in all neo-imperial 4th generation warfare scenarios, arming militants is only half of the overall strategy for defeating targeted nation-states. Subverting national institutions and replacing them with those interlocking with the neo-imperial unipolar order is the other half. The usual suspects, the US State Department-funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its various subsidiaries, found all across the theater of 4th generation global warfare, are busy at work in Pakistans Baluchistan province as well. NED has been directly funding and supporting the work of the Balochistan Institute for Development (BIFD) which claims to be the leading resource on democracy, development and human rights in Balochistan, Pakistan. In addition to organizing the annual NED-BFID Workshop on Media, Democracy Human Rights BFID reports that USAID had provided funding for a media-center for the Baluchistan Assembly to provide better facilities to reporters who cover the proceedings of the Balochistan Assembly. We must assume BFID meant reporters trained at NED-BFID workshops. Image: A screenshot of Voice of Balochistans special US State Department message. While VOB fails to disclose its funding, it is a sure bet it, like other US-funded propaganda fronts, is nothing more than a US State Department outlet. (click image to enlarge) There is also Voice of Balochistan whose every top-story is US-funded propaganda, including the above mentioned op-ed by Rohrabacher, foundation-funded Reporters Without Borders, Soros-funded Human Rights Watch, and a direct message from the US State Department. Like other US State Department funded propaganda outfits around the world such as Thailands Prachatai funding is generally obfuscated in order to main credibility even when the fronts constant torrent of obvious propaganda more than exposes them. Perhaps the most absurd operations being run to undermine Pakistan through the Free Baluchistan movement are the US and London-based organizations. The Baloch Society of North America almost appears to be a parody at first, but nonetheless serves as a useful aggregate and bellwether regarding US meddling in Pakistans Baluchistan province. The groups founder, Dr. Wahid. Baloch, openly admits he has met with US politicians in regards to Baluchistan independence. This includes Neo-Con warmonger, PNAC signatory, corporate-lobbyist, and National Endowment for Democracy director Zalmay Khalilzad. Dr. Wahid Baloch considers Baluchistan province occupied by both the Iranian and Pakistani governments he and his movements humanitarian hand-wringing gives Washington the perfect pretext to create an armed conflagration against either Iran or Pakistan, or both, as planned in detail by various US policy think-tanks. Should an escalation in violence spiral out of control and the US commit to the complete destabilization of Pakistan, it is a good bet Dr. Wahid Balochs face will be omnipresent on CNN, BBC, MSNBC, and the likes giving his expert opinion on humanitarian violations inside of Pakistan and the need for NATO to intervene. He may even be nominated by his US handlers as President of Baluchistan just as long-time US resident and BP, Shell, Total-funded Petroleum Institute chairman Abdurrahim el-Keib was in Libya.

This user, in tandem with look-alike accounts has been propagating anti-Pakistani, pro-Free Baluchistan propaganda incessantly. They also engage in coordinated attacks with prepared rhetoric against anyone revealing US ties to Baluchistan terrorist organizations. While Pakistan lies buried in the news and obfuscated with complexity regarding a myriad of tribes, difficult to pronounce names, confusing geography, and a culture many Westerners do not understand or appreciate, it also lies at the crossroads of China, India, and Iran. It represents a convergence of conflict between East and West with potentially catastrophic implications and even the prospect for a nuclear exchange. China and Pakistan are more than aware of the Wests unfolding geopolitical gambit. China in no uncertain terms has declared that they and Pakistan will stand with each other `in all circumstances and vowed to uphold their sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs. China by now realizes that what can be done to its immediate neighbors will inevitably be done to China itself. The Wests recent attack on Russia, meddling it its elections and attempting to trigger a color revolution within Moscow itself, reveals that Wall Street and Londons momentum forward is meant to carry them all the way to the end into both Beijing and Moscow. The West will continue to whittle away at nation-states around the world by attacking and dismantling indigenous national institutions and replacing them with their homogeneous civil society model. They will continue enticing all interested parties to find a comfortable place amongst their global order, while producing unpleasant penalties for all who resist. Such penalties range from economic sanctions to armed militant groups fighting proxy wars on Wall Street and Londons behalf. What has developed, however, is a subtle but ever more apparent pattern of ultimate betrayal meaning that many around the world are beginning to notice the Wests carrot is just as bad as the stick and regardless of which one that is chosen, the result is the same. A paradigm shift must be made, one from competing parties seeking superiority over one another, to a paradigm of solidarity. And while organizations like BRICS appear to be moving in this direction, at least for the sake of self-preservation, a paradigm shift toward solidarity must begin at the grassroots. Individuals must make the conscious decision to no longer pay into Fortune 500 corporations and banks, recognize the consolidation of power for what it is and begin seeking human empowerment not through gimmicks like democracy and human rights but through pragmatic solutions such as technical education, local industry and agriculture, collaborative research and development, and leveraging technology and our human ingenuity to improve our world through inventions and innovations instead of quotas, policies, and legislation. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:
