Trending News in Pakistan - Remember the Tipping Point

07/15/2020

The trending news in Pakistan is being pushed by the government through its well-orchestrated and well-funded media campaign. Despite numerous efforts, the fact remains that the Pakistani government has been unable to keep the people informed about the events taking place in their country.

Powerful Nations on Earth

From a small and weak nation-state, we have quickly become one of the most powerful nations on earth, thanks to the efforts of American (USA) military and money-spinning corporations. This has triggered some serious differences within the Pakistani establishment. One example is the strange phenomenon of an increasing number of pop songs about US soldiers fighting in Afghanistan.

This kind of behavior is not confined to online music sites and TV channels. It is actually being promoted by the Pakistani intelligence services. According to reports, the ISI and other PTAB departments are publishing propaganda magazines and newspapers targeting Pakistanis to serve as a reminder to them to support US war efforts.

Interestingly, there is a higher tendency of the younger generation to believe in the narratives of US troops being involved in some of the more aggressive acts against Afghanistan, and there is a high demand for songs praising the troops. This has led to a notable and disturbing change in Pakistani's public perception towards the US, which has unfortunately changed the entire attitude of the population towards the US and the soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

These highly controversial media campaigns are also making political changes on a much larger scale. Instead of promoting peace and unity among the Pakistanis, the government is now successfully using the printed media to attempt to sway popular opinion against US interests in Afghanistan.

During the course of the recent elections, the governing PML-N party sought to use the mainstream media to promote their own political agenda. This of course backfired as the popularity of the top leader, Nawaz Sharif, was immediately shot down. Although a compromise was eventually reached, it appears that PML-N is not going to stand for peace in Pakistan.

Many of the more moderate political leaders in Pakistan (PML-N) had sought to make peace and unity between the two countries a major issue in the upcoming election. However, their political allies in the military and the PTAB police came up with a counter-proposal: since their governments are not in power, they could not interfere with the elections, and their influence is limited. So, if any such leaders who have support from the top ranks of the military, the ISI and PTAB police would not be allowed to run.

Therefore, the difference in the trending news in Pakistan and US is due to the unique opportunities that exist in this country, and the massive conflicts of interest of our political leaders. Many Pakistanis will soon find out why all of this is such a problem for the United States government.

This begs the question: how can these same leaders hold a united front and serve our nation while blatantly ignoring the suffering of the people of Pakistan? They know full well that our growing problems in Afghanistan are directly caused by our policies in Pakistan.

We have made foolish and dangerous decisions, and in doing so, we have alienated our allies and made ourselves a laughing stock among our allies and global partners. Pakistan, a key ally of the United States, has recently become a fertile ground for extremist groups, and others who wish to destabilize the country. If this trend continues, we will lose Pakistan as a valuable ally, and as a major player in the global marketplace.

However, like it or not, for the United States to have to create an internal political crisis in Pakistan over something that they don't even know about is truly absurd, and definitely unfortunate. Now, we can ask ourselves this: if we lose the relationship with this emerging economic and political powerhouse, then what is the real value of the continued partnership between us and Pakistan?

The Trending News in Pakistan

The answer is simple: the trending news in Pakistan will continue, and the facts will continue to get twisted. As a nation, we must realize that our leaders have been successful in dividing us and finding new and creative ways to be abusive towards each other. therefore, we need to work to put an end to this trend, because we cannot continue to let our nation is divided forever.
