**JP** PACKAGED MILK IN PAKISTAN

A dnagerous chemical, melamine, is being added to all the pachaged milk, along with other substances, in Pakistan. Please do read till the end which will show you how much of the same is being added in the milk in Canada, USA and European countries. I urge all friends in Canada and USA to inform thier relatives and friends in Pakistan so that they stop buying packaged milk and start buying from "Gawalas." It will be diluted with water but it will at least it will not contain poisonous chemicals. 
Yusuf
Justice Mian Saqib Nisar of the Lahore High Court expressed grave concern on Wednesday when the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) chairman confirmed the mixing of melamine, besides detergents, in packed milk. The judge asked amicus curiae Barrister Sidra to collect milk samples for tests in a laboratory in London. Barrister Zafar would contribute Rs10,000 to meet expenses of sample collection.

The Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) chairman on Wednesday told a bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) that various harmful substances, such as melamine and detergents, were indeed being mixed in packaged milk

The percentage of impurities includes urea, or melamine as protein booster (30 percent), substandard cooking oil (70 percent), powdered water chestnut (40 percent), unhygienic water (50 percent), formalin, a chemical used by doctors to preserve human body (35 percent), penicillin for enhancing the thickness and fragrance of milk (47 percent), hair removing powder (29 percent), zoonotic pathogens (27 percent) and other adulterants including soda bicarbonate, to improve the taste.

PSQCA had allowed the indirect mixing of 5mg melamine in each kilogramme of milk for adults and 1mg in milk for children, which could be fatal. The petitioner, Barrister Zafarullah Khan, informed the court that amazingly the Pakistan Standard Specifications for Milk, 2009, had allowed mixing of 5 mg melamine in one kg milk for adults' consumption and 1mg in one kg milk for children. He said the PSQCA had not given a single reason why the dangerous substance like melamine, which was a kind of plastic, was allowed to be added in milk since it was proved to have been a major cause of renal failure and other deadly diseases. He said the main reason melamine was allowed to be mixed in milk was because the major chunk of natural protein was extracted from the milk before packaging and melamine was added to artificially compensate the loss of protein and thinness of milk. He cited example of China where three persons found guilty of adding melamine in milk were hanged to death.

Melamine Tolerable Daily Intake across the world are as follows

EU : 0.5 milligrams per kg of body mass per day
Canada : 0.35 mg per kg of body mass per day
US : Originally 0.63 mg but now 0.063 mg per kg of body mass per day
WHO : 0.2 mg per kg of body mass per day
China : 2.5 mg per kg in products with more than 15% milk content

As the Daily Times report says, besides melamine for increasing protein content, PQSCA provided evidence that there was formalin and certain pathogens in the milk content as well. People are paying a premium price for these products. Corporate giants are even worse than the gawala at adulteration of milk. When did our morality go the dogs?

I feel that even if conclusively proven before the court and the judgment obviously public data then, mainstream media will not create the necessary hype as they would certainly fear losing advertising money from giants such as Nestle, Haleeb Foods and Engro Foods.

Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah observed: "The media is directed not to report on the contents of the report submitted by
Eurofins Global Cenral, Hamburg, Germany, dated February 22, 2010, till further orders. The office is directed to intimate the media accordingly."

The truth is, capitalism and

Capitalism is not free enterprise you right wing dummies!

Free Enterprise is selling and buying stuff.
Capitalism is making profit while your work force makes peanuts.
Saturday, March 28, 2009

The people are the government you morons!

The way so-called conservatives talk about the government, you'd
think they were anarchists. They are not opposed to government per se,
they are against tax money going to welfare or other social programs
going to lazy recipient while they labor so arduously to support their
families. This myth has been ingrained to the politically naïve. The
truth is not really emphasized. Most tax money goes in the pockets of
wealthy men from no-bid contracts. Most tax money goes to rich oilmen,
who wear smoking jackets and have cigars in their kisser while
lounging in a leather chair in some exclusive parlor. How do you like
that stereotype? It would take a million welfare cheats to equal one
corporate tax cheat. The fact they have a vehement hatred in helping
the downtrodden is very revealing. It could be motivated by racism or
misogyny. Misogyny? What do I mean?
U.S conservatism is base loosely on rugged individualism, which is
a masculine idea, saying, I don't need any help from anybody! I'll do
it myself! Anything else that is contrary to that notion is a limp
wrist faggot or a female. Compassion is considered sissy just like
sensitivity is for homos. A lot of WASP as well as Native Americans
are thought that it is manly to be stoic and violent. For centuries,
the monarchies have manipulated the male population by defining
manhood for them. Be a man, go to war and prove your manhood! Kings
never die in war! , Only the peasants are the ones who die for their
king.
The contemporary polemic that is, should capitalism control
government or should government control capitalism? Most right-wingers
think the issue is: Government should leave capitalism alone. This
myth really burns a whole in my belly. The truth is, capitalism and
government cannot live without each other! You can't have one or the
other. This power struggle between the 2 entities has been an on going
debate for 3 centuries now. The truth is: government is design to
protect the rich. Anarchists believe in abolishing both entities.
Conservatives have this image that that the U.S government is this
oppressive force filled with liberal elitists who want to destroy good
white folks like Wall-Mart. Who wants to prevent anybody getting rich!
Damn! We need to bring back civics in the public schools. Here is what
the government is supposed to be.
According to the forefathers who created the constitution and the
Bill of rights. The government is you and I! So when conservatives
attack the Government, they are attacking the American people! Think
about it.

What do you say? Let them fill the ocean with oil, sell cars that
can't be serviced, and keep the money in our savings accounts?

Fwd: You Really Want Government Drilling for Oil?





 

You Really Want Government Drilling for Oil?
a..

Sheldon Richman
Campaign For Liberty
June 12, 2010

You've got to hand it to the people who really dislike free markets. They
see them everywhere (under every bed?) and especially wherever any serious
problem arises. That no free market exists within a thousand miles makes no
difference whatsoever.

Take the oil spill in the Gulf. Market opponents are having a field day.
They say this finally demonstrates the need for government to run things.
Private firms can't be trusted.

But it looks more like government can't be trusted. The central government
is, in law and in fact, the owner of the part in the Gulf where BP drilled
for oil. (I didn't say it was the legitimate owner.) The owner leased its
property to a private company, BP, with a bad safety record (though a good
one for sucking up to the environmentalist establishment and bureaucrats)
and issued permits for the drilling operation. It then failed to keep a
sharp eye on what BP and subcontractors Transocean and Halliburton were
doing to its property. That might have something to do with the fact that
government regulators don't have the sort of relationship to "their"
property that real private owners do, and they can always be counted on to
get friendly with those they regulate. The Minerals Management Service in
the Interior Department has a special conflict of interest: It makes money
off the drilling it permits and regulates. Thus it could benefit from
decisions that are bad for the public.

So what failed here, the market or the State? The call isn't even close. The
free market was nowhere near the scene. It has an airtight alibi. It didn't
exist.

Now with some effort you might get a die-hard anti-market person to concede
this. So we move to the next step. What should replace the current hybrid
(government-corporate) system? I see only two choices: full government
management or full market management. Full government management wouldn't
appear terribly promising, considering that the current problems are
traceable back to government management already. How would things change
substantially if, instead of contracting out the drilling to a nominally
private company, the government instead hired the personnel itself and paid
them directly from the U.S. Treasury? Who cares if the rig says "BP, "
"Transocean," or "U.S. Government" on it? The same fallible people would be
in the same position to make the same fateful mistakes. Not much would have
changed.

Incentives Matter

That's because what matters is incentives, not whether a worker is on the
government payroll. Why assume that civil service employees know more or
care more than people paid by corporations?

But, it will be said, the government workers will have a mandate to protect
the environment and the public. Okay, let's go with that. Let's say the
decision-makers are environmental hawks who really don't like oil drilling
anywhere. They'll be tough: no drilling unless it's 100 percent safe.
Leaving aside the obvious problem with this standard, that policy would have
costs. The risk of oil spills may drop to zero, but we might have to forgo
certain important benefits in the process. Poor people, say, might have
their prospects dimmed by more expensive energy.

Is the tradeoff worth it? How do we go about answering that question?
Government is no help here. It can certainly impose a plan, but constructing
a plan beneficial to the public would be like playing darts in the dark.
What bureaucrats think is good for us may not actually be good for us, no
matter how much they care. Mises and Hayek covered this in their writings on
state socialism and economic calculation.

Things are sure looking bleak. Government assurances are worthless whether
it contracts out for drilling or does it itself. That leaves only the free
market. Can it be trusted?

First off, let's remember that we live in the real world. There are no
iron-clad guarantees. The best we can hope for is relative security. Option
A can't be perfect. All we can ask is that it is better than Options B, C,
and D. But how do we decide? When people conclude that government management
is the best alternative, knowingly or not they have rigged the game. They
are comparing the messy real world in which free markets would operate to an
impossible government-managed smooth-running utopia, where regulators have
complete knowledge and total dedication to the public interest. This is the
Nirvana Fallacy, and the problem with it is that utopia isn't on the table.

What is on the table are two options: an arrangement where incentives align
economic activity with the public interest and one where they don't. Now
which setup seems more promising? One where personnel risk no capital, face
no prospects of bankruptcy, and procure their revenue by force (taxation)
after flattering members of special-interest-serving congressmen? Or one
where: capital had to be raised from wary investors in a competitive
environment, insurance would be priced according to risk, products would
have to be sold to buyers who are free to say no, and full and strict
liability would haunt every decision, with bankruptcy always looming and no
government bailout are even implied?

When you come down to it, the choice is really rather easy.

Should the government regulate the banking, automotive, and oil industry?

BP continues deep-sea production at its Atlantis rig – one of the
world's largest oil platforms. Capable of drawing 200,000 barrels a
day from the seafloor, Atlantis is located only 150 miles off the
coast of Louisiana, in waters nearly 2,000 feet deeper than BP drilled
at Deepwater Horizon. According to congressional documents, the
platform lacks required engineering certification for as much as 90
percent of its subsea components – a flaw that internal BP documents
reveal could lead to "catastrophic" errors. In a May 19th letter to
Salazar, 26 congressmen called for the rig to be shut down
immediately. "We are very concerned," they wrote, "that the tragedy at
Deepwater Horizon could foreshadow an accident at BP Atlantis."

**JP** Letter to Editor- Fake Degrees

 

Dear Join Pakistan
 
LETTER TO EDITOR
June 13th, 2010
 
Fake Degrees
 
The issue of a plethora of fake degrees is being given a Machiavellian twist by the politicians who take the naïve voters for a ride by saying that a usurper had introduced this clause with the malafides intention of keeping the seasoned politician out of the assemblies. Some of them even justify such forging by the affected MNAs and MPAs on one pretext or the other. This is strange to say the least. The question is not of the qualification (graduation) but of  the character of the persons involved, who acquired such fake degrees by illegal means, by deceitfully forging the documents! Does it behove a law maker to be a cheat, a forger, a fraud, a swindler or an imposter?! It strikes at the very roots of his personal conduct and character. There is an old saying, “If wealth is lost, nothing is lost. If health is lost, something is lost. But if character is lost, everything is lo st”.
 
Should such characterless forgers be trusted with the sacred task of framing the laws for the nation? Incidentally, issuing of party tickets to such charlatans speaks volumes about the concerned party leadership also.

Re: **JP** Amazing Character of a khatoon (Read) / ( Bibi Ama Fizza ) (s.a.)

Bibi Fizza's name does appear in history as a kaneez of Hazrat Fatima and she is also reputed to have contributed in the raising of the children of Hazrat Fatima, for which she was respected profusely by Hasnain and sisters (Hazrat Zainab, Sughra and others). Though she was a kaneez but due to her extreme devotion, loyalty and love for the family she enjoyed the status of a reverend elder and much above that of a house maid in that household.

ANALYSIS

Faced with the end of the age of oil and systemic collapse, the leaders of the Anglo-American empire have engaged in increasingly violent and transparently futile zero-sum games to salvage what is left of a corrupt governmental and economic milieu.

Empire in crisis

From the BP-Deepwater Horizon catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico, crashing stock markets, and the bloody consequences of manufactured wars, it clear that the empire has lost control of its own criminal system.

As Michael C. Ruppert wrote in his 2004 book Crossing the Rubicon:

There are many factors that the rulers of the American empire now have to manage as they read their own delusional map of the world. They have to:

  • Apportion dwindling resources among competitors, some of whom possess nuclear weapons;
  • Maintain and expand their control over enough of the oil and gas remaining to ensure their global dominance and maintain order among the citizens of the Empire;
  • Simultaneously manage a global economic system, made possible by hydrocarbon energy that is collapsing and in which the growing population is demanding more things that can only be supplied by using still more hydrocarbon energy;
  • Acknowledge that they cannot save their own economy without selling more of these products;
  • Control the exploding demand for oil and gas through engineered recessions and wars that break national economies;
  • Hide the evidence that they are systematically looting the wealth of all the people on the planet—even their own people—in order to maintain control;
  • Maintain a secret revenue system to provide enough off-the-books capital for military advantage; improving their technological posture, and funding covert operations;
  • Repress any dissent and head off any exposure to their actions;
  • Convince the population that they are honorable;
  • Kill off enough of the population so that they can maintain control after oil supplies have dwindled to the point of energy starvation."

Never has this agenda, its tragic consequences and ultimate futility, been more obvious than with the unprecedented events of the past weeks.

BP-Deepwater Horizon: an "extinction event"

The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig and the resulting oil super spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the worst man-made disaster, and the largest and most heinous act of environmental destruction in history.

This floating super-bomb remains completely out of control, spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil into the Gulf, spreading in directions that cannot be predicted, becoming exponentially worse by the second. It threatens to dwarf the entire Gulf of Mexico, the entire southern and southeastern coast of the United States and Mississippi River, and is poised to spread into all of the world's oceans. Wildlife, human life, industries, economies and livelihoods, all potentially face permanent damage and destruction. It is even possible that the Gulf will be rendered impossible to navigate.

What is certain is that this catastrophe, made possible by the oil agenda of the Anglo-American empire — will continue to kill for generations, potentially rendering the entire Gulf of Mexico a dead zone.

For weeks, BP, government officials, and the corporate media have been engaged in a massive cover-up, lying about the unspeakable actual scale of the disaster, and lying about its clean-up and containment efforts. According to a spokesperson for Greenpeace, there has never been a successful response to an oil spill, and that what BP is doing at present is nothing but "response theater." All attempts to contain the geyser — each of them a series of failed experiments and theories — have been futile and ineffective.

BP's use of toxic chemical dispersants has been, at least in part, an attempt to obscure the visual horror of the spill from news cameras. The highly toxic dispersants themselves have further added to the toxicity of the spill, without actually removing any of the oil.

According to this frightening analysis by an experienced expert, what is visible on the surface, already the size of the state of Maryland may be as little as 20 percent of the actual scale of the spewing manmade volcano of toxic sludge being reported. Gigantic emissions of natural gas threaten to deplete the oxygen of the water in the Gulf.

The unprecedented amount of oil bursting out — perhaps as much as four barrels of oil per second — also raises questions about the actual size of the reservoir itself. Quoting the same analysis: "This is an out of control volcano of oil spewing up with 70,000 psi behind it, from a reservoir nearly the size of the Gulf, with an estimated trillions of barrels of oil and gas tucked away. It is this deposit that has me reminding people of what the Shell geologist told me about the deposit. This was the quote, 'Energy shortage . . . , Hell! We are afraid of running out of air to burn.' The deposit is very large. It covers an area off shore something like 25,000 square miles. Natural Gas and Oil is leaking out of the deposit as far inland as Central Alabama and way over into Florida and even over to Louisiana almost as far as Texas. What we are seeing now could be small compared to what may yet unfold if things break apart, as they can do under such circumstances. If this thing blew, it could be like the Yellowstone Caldera, except from below a mile of sea, with a 1/4-mile opening, with up to 150,000 psi of oil and natural gas behind it.

"That would be an extinction event."

Leaked memos suggests that government officials were aware of a potential for a nightmare scenario. Will it simply be "allowed to happen" as the days, weeks and months pass?

BP, Halliburton and Transocean — notorious icons of "disaster capitalism" — enjoy long and enduring ties to the world governments, and their worldwide oil strategies.

Both the Bush-Cheney and Obama administrations, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) directly involved with allowing BP to operate Deepwater Horizon in reckless fashion, sheltering BP from regulatory requirements. This despite the fact that BP has ahistory of recklessness and disaster known throughout the energy industry.

The case implicates Dick Cheney and the National Energy Policy Development Group (NEPDG), Cheney's secret "energy task force," which may have provided BP and other oil giants with the license to "fast track" into production without proper safeguards, and without proper regard to potential catastrophic spills or permanent environmental damage.

What, if any, punishment will BP face for turning the entire Gulf of Mexico into a dead zone; for threatening all of humanity? A series of useless hearings in which corrupt and feckless members of Congress help the directors of BP, Halliburton and Transocean maintain their innocence, conceding "mistakes"? Fines? Promises that "it will never happen again" while an apocalypse is happening?

Transocean has in fact, already profited from the disaster. The corporation was just paid $401 million in insurance, while petitioning to cap its liability for the disaster.

The economic cost alone can potentially bring down a world economy already teetering on the brink of collapse. Oil prices will be disrupted for decades.

It is bitterly ironic that the Deepwater Horizon, which just weeks ago was viewed as the empire's last greatest hope, will instead serve as its suicide.

Yet, even as the mega-volcano of toxic sludge relentlessly dwarfs more geography over the coming weeks and months, the empire's leaders still refuse to stop.

The Obama administration has granted 27 new waivers to big oil companies since the BP explosion, allowing them to engage in yet more drilling and exploration, without proper environmental review — in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Kerry-Lieberman energy bill, pushed through Congress in recent days, establishes yet more offshore drilling around the country, along with "clean coal" (a fraud and myth, perpetrated by the coal industry, that Congress and the Obama administration continue to push).

More "war on terrorism" for more oil

Times Square Bomber Face

As an unintended oil calamity unfolds in the Gulf of Mexico, the planned oil chaos in the Middle East and Central Asia continues.

It is not clear if the foiled Times Square bombing was an attempted act of "real" terrorism or revenge, a false flag incident, a military-intelligence double or triple cross carried out by competing intelligence agencies, or a complete fabrication.

While the specifics of the case against alleged bomber Faisal Shahzad remain in the hands of deceptive US officials and law enforcement, the foiled plot provides the Obama administration with a twofold propaganda bonanza. The administration now has the pretext with which it can expand the "war on terrorism" into Pakistan, Waziristan and Iran, and further strengthen the foothold on the largest remaining oil and gas supplies of the Middle East and Central Asia. It was also a "wag the dog" diversion from the BP cataclysm in the Gulf of Mexico and crashing world stock markets.

Shazad's connections to the CIA and MI6 raise immediate suspicions: "A man arrested in Pakistan in connection with the Times Square car bombing attempt who had traveled with accused bomber Faisal Shahzad is a member of a terrorist organization that is controlled by British MI6 and the CIA.

"Jaish-e-Muhammad, the group now emerging in connection with the Times Square incident, was founded by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the 9/11 bagman who delivered $100,000 from the United Arab Emirates to Mohammed Atta at the behest of General Mahmud Ahmed, then head of the ISI. Mahmud Ahmed, the man who ordered Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh to bankroll the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, was meeting with Republican Congressman Porter Goss and Democratic Senator Bob Graham in Washington DC on the morning of 9/11. In the days before and after the attack, Ahmed also met with CIA Head George Tenet as well as current Vice-President Joe Biden, then Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

"In a report on Jaish-e-Muhammad's involvement in the murder of Daniel Pearl, who was investigating the ISI, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported that the Pakistani government, 'Believe that Saeed Sheikh's power comes not from the ISI, but from his connections with our own CIA.'"

Other suspicious factors include the presence of Special Forces immediately on scene, and the "mysterious white men" captured on video initially believed to be part of the bomb plot. According to an early CNN report, "a video obtained from a tourist in the area shows a person apparently running north on Broadway, while another video shows a balding man with dark hair removing a shirt and putting it in a bag before walking out of view of the camera, which was inside a restaurant."

Regardless of how the Times Square bombing case develops, "war on terrorism" is a perpetual covert operation designed to justify perpetual war, and endless new resource conflict.

As noted in Michel Chossudovsky's America's "War on Terrorism," "the significant development of 'radical Islam' in the wake of September 11, in the Middle East and Central Asia, is consistent with Washington's hidden agenda. The latter consists of sustaining rather than combating international terrorism, with a view to destabilizing national societies . . ." Virtually all of the world's "Islamic terror" fronts — Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, etc.—are manipulations by the CIA  and nurtured for years with US government support.

The US government has been funding Taliban militants, and buying off defectors of various tribal factions, at the same time asWashington decries the "resurgent" Taliban.

The initial reporting of the Times Square plot in the mainstream corporate media linked Shahzad to Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud, brother of slain former Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud.

Subsequent reporting has been rife with conflicting information, from quotes of Mehsud promising new attacks on the US, denials, counter-denials, speculation, and confusion that becomes even more complicated when one traces recent events involving the Mehsuds and the Taliban going back two years.

Qari Zainuddin, Mehsud's Taliban rival, was shot dead in late 2009. Zainuddin, who had split from Mehsud's Taliban faction, was accused of being a top Al-Qaeda asset.

In early 2010, seven CIA agents were killed by militants supposedly avenging Baitullah Mehsud, who was believed by many to be an Al-Qaeda ally and a CIA asset, linked to the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

Other Pakistani men alleged to have direct connections to Shahzad have been arrested in Massachusetts Although it is "unclear whether they were witting accomplices or simply innocent money dealers," the connection to Pakistan itself may prove enough to serve the purposes of war hawks in Washington.

The FBI has sent agents into Pakistan. The Obama administration and members of Congress, such as Senator Dianne Feinstein, are, in typical post-9/11 fashion, complaining about "intelligence failures" and vowing yet more aggressive domestic security. The "certain" ties to Pakistan, Waziristan, Iran, etc. will be used as fodder towards the next military attack. .

The final hour

The signs are unavoidable and clear: the Anglo-American empire has run out of time, and oil, and humanity itself has paid the steepest cost.

From war and chaos, catastrophic financial meltdowns, or the mega-disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that could ultimately render all else moot, events are well beyond the empire's ability to control or hide any of it.
