  • Polarized Pakistan and the Disconnected Global Left: Reflections on a crazy viral blog post

    How a blog post aimed at defending Prof. Chomsky revealed the extreme fault lines in Pakistani society and underlined the broken relationship between North and South Left So how does it feel to know that you are the reason your intellectual idol is currently inundated with mail, a lot of it hate, from all sorts […]

  • CHOMSKY SAYS NO MEANINGFUL EVIDENCE OF COUP AGAINST IMRAN KHAN!

    CHOMSKY SAYS NO MEANINGFUL EVIDENCE OF COUP AGAINST IMRAN KHAN!

    The famed leftwing political activist says that using the threatening letter as evidence of a coup is “meaningless”! I have for long admired and followed Prof. Chomsky’s work. Among the people he has never met, I am probably one of the few with whom it was Prof. Chomsky who initiated an email correspondence! Well, technically. […]

  • Goebbels and The Guardian: A Love Story

    In which the Guardian (and the BBC and basically the entire pristine gutter that is the British intellectual class) teach the clueless Goebbels how modern propaganda works so much better than the crude obsolete tripe that he peddled. The antisemitism campaign against Jeremy Corbyn was unanimously chosen as the crown-jewel case study, with help from […]

  • Fake News Or Ground Truth? Alice And The Queen of Hearts

    Fake News Or Ground Truth? Alice And The Queen of Hearts

    If an analysis of computing texts were to be done, I am willing to bet that ‘Alice in Wonderland’ would rank at the top (or near the top) of the list of most highly quoted books by computer scientists (think Chapter beginnings or fancy quotations below titles etc, or any place where us computer guys […]

  • Viva Castro, the Michelangelo of revolutionaries!

    Viva Castro, the Michelangelo of revolutionaries!

    The towering personality of the 20th century has passed away. His achievements and those of Cuba under him are monumental. Forget the fact that he led the charge against the brutal imperial power in the hemisphere. Forget how he and the country survived the ruthless embargo imposed by their monstrous neighbor and not only built […]

  • Patrice Lumumba-Never to forgive, never to forget

    Patrice Lumumba-Never to forgive, never to forget

    The Jewish culture has this very powerful saying, which many Jews especially repeat on a day called the holocaust memorial day: Never to forgive, never to forget. On face value, this statement might seem a bit extreme, especially the “never to forgive” part.

  • Blind Power Circus had to Trump!

    What’s this liberal media’s hullabaloo and condemnation of Donald Trump all about? And lo and behold , even political saints like David Cameron, Ben Carson, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and other angels and honest men in the media and intellectual culture, have combined to condemn poor old Trump. Actually, it’s quite hypocritical of mainstream media, intellectual culture and […]

  • Paris Attacks: Collective Moral Blindness Spells Collective Doom

    What happened in Paris was heart-wrenching and tragic. My first reaction was intense anger at the monstrous perpetrators. Soon after, it was accompanied by an equally intense anger and sense of frustration at the western reactions that had already started coming in. As a Pakistani who has been living in Europe for some time, there was also […]
