Who are Sabotaging Pak-Afghan Relations?
Waging a prolonged war in Afghanistan, the US and other NATO countries have realized that after the withdrawal of foreign troops, Afghanistan would be thrown in an era of uncertainly and civil war.

99 Years of Lies: Balfour gave Palestine to the New World Order, not to the Jewish People
Today in 1917, the Jewish politician, Balfour, issued his infamous Declaration, giving the land of Palestine to his fellow Jews. Balfour was not a Palestinian, he did not live in Palestine, but all the same, he felt that as a person of Jewish heritage, working for the contemptible Imperial government of Britain, he had the right to interfere in the lives of people living many miles from the UK.

Not Quite Unhinged 2 unread articles  //  actions

Pinky is the Brain
The craziness of the Trump candidacy has prompted no end of analysis, trying to understand the motivations and thought processes of the weirdest major candidate to ever run for office in the US. And perhaps anywhere. One constant analytical theme is of the “he’s so crazy, he must be a genius” type; that there must be some sort of coldly calculated end-game that we just haven’t figured out yet.
Antifreeze and Donald Trump
There are despicable criminals that deserve capital punishment. But I do not support capital punishment because no system can guarantee that only the truly deserving criminals die. If one innocent dies for every 100 or 1,000 criminals, then I cannot support or endorse capital punishment. What does this have to do with Donald Trump?
