Re: JP Real Face of Amir Liaquat

Salaam o aliakum everyone,

I hope ramadan is going well. I totally agree with Ali and also wanted to add my two cent in the whole debate. I didn't understand why we are so surprised about this video, we already knew that he lied about his fake degrees.

Now it established that he is like a "jali peer"who is a con artist, scamming people and getting paid for his services.

May Allah swt protect us for Dajjal (the deception) and his followers, Ameen.

Assalam-o-alaikum

Check out the real face of Amir Liaquat Hussain (off-camera scenes) and watch his Tv shows.... what a hyporicy. He is hosting islamic shows, such as "Alim Online", "Sehar with Amir" etc. but off the screen he uses worst abusive language.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVynm206Jlo

He is basically Ahl-e-Tashi but pretends as a Sunni Alim.

JP Letter to Editor - Karachi Carnage

Dear Join Pakistan

LETTER TO EDITOR

August 18, 2011

Karachi Carnage

Not a day passes when at least a dozen or more of innocent lives are not lost in Karachi. Today, by the time of writing this letter, the score was 32 . Thirty Two families deprived of the bread earners and destroyed in just one day !! Could there be anything more catastrophic than it, just ask the widows and the children of the affected families? What is more alarming is that such wanton killing is now taking the form of organised gang war which will result in still more deaths. Whatever the politicians of various shades may say, the fact remains that the government of the Sindh has badly failed in maintaining law and order in the city and cannot ensure safety of life and property in Karachi. It is an open secret now that the killers are from land mafia, arms mafia, drug mafia and bhatta mafia, each one having the patronage of one or the other political party. So has the Karachi police been entirely politicised and rendered completely ineffective.&nbs p; On the top of it both the Federal Minister of Interior and the Home Minister of the Province look to be totally non serious in restoring law and order by making comical statements. While the one attributes 70% of the killing to the wives and girl friends of the victims the other keeps literally dreaming about the various options that he should adopt. It is not understood as to why such an incompetent government that has totally failed in its prime and foremost duty of protecting the life and property of the people is not dismissed and the Governor’s rule imposed straight away. Since it is clearly beyond the police and to some degree Rangers as well, army must be called in immediately to restore law and order. As the army would the last hope it must not fail as a deterrent. Therefore, it must be given a free hand and full judicial powers of holding Summary Military Courts for speedy trials and expeditious dispensation of justice. P eople expect the President to take immediate notice of the situation and impose Governor’s rule in the province. Is the safety of life and property of the people more important or the political considerations of making and breaking the coalition partners and devising the strategy for the future elections ?

Re: Planned U.S.Day of Rage

Thanks for sharing this Bruce.

This is scary stuff, and I might be underestimating Jones, and the socialist-elitist/communist movement. They are dangerous, and no doubt, today, with the economy literally tanking, this could be exactly where the Obama Administration wants to take this Nation.

Planned U.S.Day of Rage

From Hope and Change to Despair and Rage

By - Michelle Horstman

August 15, 2011

If there is any doubt that we are not right on target, as Obama has moved from the campaign's "Hope & Change" slogan to the actual blueprint of "Despair & Rage", let's take a look at where we are today. An important pre-change stage, according to Obama's inspiration, Saul Alinsky, appears to be where we are right now:

"Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."

We are seeing this actively incubated in Van Jones' new movement, Rebuild the Dream. Oh, but this is much more than Van's idea, as we will see. His recently unveiled "Contract for the American Dream" has been analyzed by many online bloggers for the socialist, money spending free-for-all that it is, but let's take a closer look at its roots. Billed as a compilation "by the people", it reads like the Obama administration wish list.

His proposed solutions were written by the Campaign for America's Future and its related Institute for Policy Studies, as well as Green for All, Soros' Center for American Progress and others. Taking a look at just one of these, the Campaign for America's Future (CAF), we see the same radical, socialist networking once again:

Board Members: NAACP, United Steelworkers, MoveOn.org, AFL-CIO and others.

According to UndueInfluence.com:

Actual: Labor-dominated lobbying and electoral network heavily influenced by progressive plutocrats and secret donors working on anti-corporate, anti-military, welfare-state, and other "progressive" programs. Incubator for the Apollo Project. Documentation in Ron Arnold's "Freezing in the Dark."
Brief history: Although the Campaign for America's Future was registered by founder Robert Borosage in 1990, it did not receive its IRS exempt status until 1994 and did not formally launch until 1996.

.

The organization was solely Borosage's creation, even though Roger Hickey, formerly of the labor union think tank, the Economic Policy Institute, is credited as a co-founder.

Helped incubate the Apollo Alliance, now a project of Tides Center. Apollo's executive director, James Ringo, is paid by Institute for America's Future.

Funding: Donations include funds from SEIU, Rockefeller Family Foundation, Soros, Getty, MoveOn.org and more.

Organizers/Co-Founders:

Among the list of co-founders you'll find a who's who list of radicals, includingFrances Fox Piven andRichard Cloward, Joel Rogers, Andy Stern, Tom Hayden, Jesse Jackson and many, many more.

In other words, Van Jones' little grassroots plan, supposedly put together by ordinary citizens offering their ideas, appears in its final draft tohave been written by the usual radical progressive organizations andunions. The plan itself uses today's "crisis" mode to promote the same old progressive dreams, including more taxes, more spending, more government, more green jobs, more amnesty and more entitlements. Have these people heard a word the American people have said?

Among the many points in the contract, one in particular stands out because of its relationship to some big plans being made for this fall. That is the push to fight the Supreme Court decision on election finance, which they like to call "strengthening democracy." (Check link for their suggested action).

They say there is no such thing as a coincidence, and it appears to be true when you examine the main focus of the upcoming "US Day of Rage" planned for September 17, Constitution Day. It happens to focus on campaign finance reform.

We demand that integrity be restored to our elections.

One citizen. One dollar. One vote.

Only citizens should make campaign contributions.

Campaign contributions by citizens should not exceed $1 to any political candidate or party.

Constitution Day seems an odd choice for a group to want to refuse to abide by a Supreme Court decision that has gone through the constitutional process, as it should.

Obama was brutally blunt in his disgust about the decision as well. It seems they had found some great ways to work the campaign funding before this turn of events and they seem desperate to change it back before the next go-round, don't they? Soros promoted McCain Feingold for a reason andnone of them plan to give it up now, whether it is considered constitutional or not.

"When government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law, to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought," Justice Kennedy wrote. "This is unlawful. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves."

This is but one example of the push to get the Obama agenda (aka American Dream) through quickly, by any means necessary. Although billed as a nonviolent event, just the name "Day of Rage" betrays them. Romantic Poet's blog reveals much more on plans for the Day of Rage and this tidbit from their own site is also revealing:

#usdor is the official US Day of Rage hash tag on Twitter. It is a living documentation of grievances against the ills and abuses of the United States government.

That sounds…revolutionary? Alinsky trained his students for nothing short of revolution and the current "Despair & Rage" blueprint looks to be moving along right on schedule. Always remember his guiding philosophy and you will recognize the real agenda they disguise as a dream.

"You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments." (Alinsky 1972)

Dick Thompson and Del "GrandDad" DFWTexas

Good Morning Members,

Many of you know and are familiar with Dick Thompson, who is an active member of Political Forum. Dick has been hospitalized in Queen's New York, and his condition doesn't sound good. He is currently on a ventilator to assist in his breathing.

Also, another member, Del "GranDad" DFWTexas, who has not been as active in the Group in quite some time, and was more of a "Lurker"; has also been hospitalized, and his prognosis is not good. Del suffers from lung cancer, and as I understand it, Hospice has been called in.

If and when I hear any more information, I will pass it on to the Group.

I would ask that all of you keep these two gentlemen and their families in your thoughts and prayers;

Respectfully,

KeithInTampa

Re: Red Tea Party Rising - Replay of 1930s Communist Party Popular Front

It will be interesting to see how much "traction" this re-release of the same old tired song and dance will get. With the economy tanking as badly as it is, at least all of the stupid people should flock to such a movement.

Can Van Jones Create a 'Left-Wing Tea Party'? Don't Bet on It
Posted By Ron Radosh On August 17, 2011 @ 6:23 pm In Uncategorized | 15 Comments

You remember Obama's departed Green czar, the once self-proclaimed revolutionary Communist Van Jones ^[1]? Well, the man is back. According to Michelle Goldberg, writing ^[2] in The Daily Beast, on July 23 Jones threw a Washington, D.C., party to announce the creation of what he predicts will be the left-wing's Tea Party, which he calls the "American Dream Movement." Goldberg writes:

Launched at a July 23 event in New York City that was part rally, party dance party, the American Dream Movement aims to restore the fight for economic justice to the center of progressive politics. On Aug. 9, the movement put out its crowd-sourced "Contract for the American Dream," a 10-point economic manifesto that called for new investments in education and infrastructure; higher taxes for corporations, Wall Street and the wealthy; and curbs on lobbyists. The next day, it was published as a full-page ad in The New York Times. Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois will soon introduce the Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act, legislation based on the document.

Since I read the Times online, I did not see the full–page ad — one of the benefits of not reading the print edition. Actually, Jones' movement was first announced ^[3] last February at the Huffington Post — but somehow, the earlier announcement produced no traction. Nothing like a re-release to try again.

While Jones introduces it as a left version of the Tea Party, it is more accurately thought of as a 21^stcentury version of the Communist Party's Popular Front of the 1930s. After all, just as the CPUSA hid its Red politics and communist aims under the guise of "20^th century Americanism," Jones too hides his real aims in a similar fashion. Remember CP's wartime chief Earl Browder, who proclaimed the slogan "Communism is 20^th century Americanism," under photos of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Karl Marx? The slogan lasted until old Joe Stalin took offense at the audacity of undermining loyalty to the Soviet Union, and ordered that the slogan be ditched overnight.

Jones, as we may recall, in a now famous 2005 newspaper interview ^[4] said that "I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends." No longer announcing that he is a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist, Jones is proceeding to try and build social movements along the classic lines of the old communist movement of the 1930s and 40s that he once sought to openly emulate.

With his new movement, Jones hopes not to have to depend for cadre on a small group of East Bay radicals in San Francisco, but to create a movement from above that appears to be like the actual Tea Party, a movement that started from below. It's a classic CP strategy. As the Old Left sees the New Deal era, FDR was pushed to the Left by a powerful social movement composed of the working class that was organizing the CIO — the industry-wide new trade union movement. That pressure from below supposedly forced Roosevelt to turn to more left-wing programs, hence the slew of legislation that became the hallmark of the Second New Deal after 1935.

Hence Jones' belief is that with his American Dream Movement, a groundswell of protest will emerge that will both keep Barack Obama in the White House and at the same time force him to do what the Left so far has not been able to accomplish: openly force him to espouse and to gather momentum for new widespread government spending, all based on increasing the U.S. deficit through Keynesian spending mechanisms.

Of course, in the 1930s there was an actual social movement that was based in reality and enabled labor to eventually reject radicalism and move into the middle class. Big industry welcomed the stability it got through contractual arrangements with big labor, and easily made peace with the unions — until recent times, when the deals they made came crashing apart under the strain of the collapsed New Deal model of a modern economy.

Now, there is no viable real left-wing movement, except it lives in the dream world of people like Van Jones. As Jones explained it, "The job of leading an independent movement to bring out the best in our country is not the same job as being head of state. I'm glad [Obama] is there, and I will do everything in my power to make sure he stays head of state until they have to pull him out of there. I might block the driveway at the end of 2016. But the job of creating an independent movement that brings out the best in the American people, that's our job."

Jones, since he is an old hand of the Left, must realize that an "independent movement" cannot be created by an announcement, by funding from the likes of a George Soros fund for left-wing activity, or by throwing a dance party in Washington, D.C. It has to have some basis in the real world, not just in the minds of leftists. Of course he has deluded followers like Michelle Goldberg, who seems to actually believe that Jones' "careful study of American political movements" led him to create this one new organization that will succeed because it is the "distillation of what he has learned."

It sounds pretty old fashioned to this writer. Its umbrella front will be called "Rebuilding the Dream," and its work will be carried on through the extreme left's favorite group, MoveOn.Org. How this will lead to success is something Ms.Goldberg cannot explain. Indeed, reveals a bit of desperation for Van Jones, who otherwise would avoid a group like MoveOn.org like the plague. Indeed, MoveOn's director proclaims that the new Jones group will be "the Tea Party Express." Goldberg goes on to give what is in fact a rather pathetic example of this. She cite 1500 people gathering at Montana's state capitol to protest local budget cuts!

What is unique about Jones' effort — as sure to fail as his earlier attempts to create a movement — is his adoption of a patriotic theme — again, taken directly from the old communist movement playbook. As one of his supporters, Rep. Keith Ellison, says, "I'm so glad that he has clearly recognized that we as progressives cannot concede patriotic themes to the right wing. Why would we ever do that? Everything we love about this country — the right to vote, equality before the law, the right to organize—these things were won by patriotic Americans." Members of the Tea Party, he says, "wrap themselves in the flag, but they're not upholding core American values. We are."

Last February, when he first announced the new movement and no one took notice, Jones said: "We will prevail because — in truth — we are not in a right-wing period of American history, nor are we in a left-wing period. We are simply in a volatile period." But of course, his claim that his movement is capturing the non-partisan "moral center" is fraudulent. Jones' movement — or attempt at one — is a far left operation, as can be seen by the demands he raises and the context in which he puts these demands.

So Jones then said, "Let Saturday, February 26, 2011, mark the beginning of the national movement ^[5] to renew the American Dream and return us to the moral center — where everybody counts, and everybody matters." Feb. 26^th passed, and nothing happened. Now, the date has suddenly changed first to July 23^rd and now to August 15^th. Whatever the date, we can be sure that Van Jones will fail once again, and perhaps next year George Soros will give him more money to announce yet a new organization and a new starting date. After all, the man has got to do something to earn his pay.

So I end with the image Jones gives to Michelle Goldberg. He tells her that when Obama leaves the White House in 2016, he might have to "block the driveway" to prevent him from leaving. That date, of course, assumes Obama will have two terms in office. So, I look forward deeply to 2013, when the new Republican president takes office, and to watching the capitol police haul Jones off the White House roadway.

That result won't take a movement — only the electoral activity of the American people, who show by their ballot that they are fed up with Barack Obama.
