Here are some of my current thoughts on the matter. There is no point
me attempting to pen even a watered-down, oblique version of this
analysis for the UK, or even the Scottish, Press, as I appear to have
been blacklisted (or perhaps that should be, extremely
dark-grey-listed)
over here, at least as far as any political comment is
concerned. It seems that I am permitted only to write/ talk about
purely cultural and
literary matters within the contect of a box marked, 'minority ethnic
groups, sub-section, South Asian, subsection, Pakoras, Samosas and
other assorted Eastern Delights'.
I cannot even get a short letter on this (Bhutto's murder) or on any
other political subject published in any of
the mainstream 'papers. So these ruminations come from beyond the pale
of
permissible
'publishable' discourse at least as far as concerns those outside of
elite and favoured groupings
in the UK (and that is a critique, too which it is not possible to
state openly unless one is part of the elite; this performance of politesse
renders the
impression of free speech). In spite of appearances, politically I
have become samizdat. Okay, enough on that. Off we go:
1) It is becoming clear that this was a State assassination with a
classic (and utterly shameless)
cover-up, the dissemination of disinformation, etc. It must be the
first time in the history of the modern world that a post-mortem has not
been carried out after a murder. And the crime-scene hosed down. Even the
most incompetant detective would laugh
at such measures. Gil Grissom from CSI would have a heart attack.
2) I think Musharraf did it in order to continue to appear
indispensible
to the USA. Otherwise, the USA might
have backed Bhutto as his replacement - which was implicit in their
sending her back to Pakistan in the first place - with
the 'power-sharing deal' having failed to materialise, they were
backing
both horses (Nawaz Sharif-of-the-crocodile-tears and his cohorts are
theirs, too,
of course, as well as - like Saint Anthony Blair, OBE, BAE - being the
Saudis' great chum) and even in a rigged election, the outcome might
not have
been as absolute as Mush would have wanted. And what would have
happened to the
Big Mush then, if he had had to cede at least the facade of power (we
know that no Pakistani leader has real
power and that they are just puppets of the USA)? No longer Head of
the
Army, just a politician like the rest of them, he would have become
instantly dispensible and therefore exposed and would be assassinated
by some
'lone nut'.
Perhaps Bhutto (miracles are possible, though unlikely, and it would've
taken seven magic mushrooms and a quart of absinthe - but then
Pakistan is the World Leader in the processing and export of diamorphine - to
have produced such an outcome) might have
reinstated some of the illegally-deposed judges in order to buttress
her power-base against ex-General Mushy. Now the USA will make do with
the Little Prezzy - unless the law and order situation deteriorates (it
should
deteriorate enough to justify the imposition of Martial Law but not to
the extent that it looks as though he is losing control) to the extent
that it generates the development of a perceived
threat to their interests in which case they will have him
assassinated in a 'plane crash (does this bring back memories?) and
appoint General Kiani (new Head of the Army) or some other Tom, Dick
(well, I know they are all dicks but you know what I mean) or Harry as
the new president in a state of Martial Law. Watch this space. I've
warned people about John Negroponte before. Check out his history on the
web.
He screwed-up most of Central America in the 1980s and more recently,
Iraq, too. He is the death-squad man and now he is the Colonial
Resident running Pakistan. Many people
in Pakistan (not just supporters of Bhutto) are extremely angry. But
the Army will crush all
dissent and will generate some of its own dissent against the
dissenters (as you know, it controls and/ or is in alliance with
several political
parties and their gangster hoodlums). How convenient that
all assassins are now suicide-bombers. It must be in the job
description.
No need for a Jack Ruby then, eh.
3) As with most other political assasinations, we will probably never
know for certain who ordered and who organised this one. However, along
with many others, I suspect those factions of the ISI
(Inter-Services Intelligence) who are the progenitors of the
Frankenstein's monsters of the Islamists (Mujaheddin, Taliban, etc., ad
nauseam). The actual act appears to have been committed by a skilled
marksman who was also obviously a fanatic and who was permitted by the
security services to access a place of proximity to the vehicle. The
USA has certainly assassinated many political leaders and activists
throughout the world and there is a normative amorality which governs
the actions of all states. However, this does not mean that every
assassination everywhere has been committed by the USA or its stooges.
I am aware of the USA's role in creating militant Sunni Islam as a key
military-political force during the 1980s and early 1990s (via the ISI,
aka 'Rent-an-Assassin' aka 'A Poor Man's Mossad', whose US-directed
tentacles spread even unto the marches of Chechnya) and of course as an
American stooge (as almost every Pakistani Prime Minister/ President
has been), Benazir Bhutto herself supported the Taliban's rise to power
in Afghanistan. There are various factions within the ISI (and within
the Army itself). Pakistan is a country ruled by another country (the
USA) but the local secret police is the ISI, just as in the Shah's time
in Iran there was SAVAK. And of course, regardless of the regime, these
people never become redundant, there is always, it seems, plenty of
work for torturers. Within this general paradigm (admittedly
considerably simplified), as in Afghanistan, alliances shift, mutate
and sometimes coalesce and I think that it was likely to have been
factions within the Pakistani State - indeed, it seems likely the
ruling cadres of the State itself -
which ordered and organised her assassination as a 'wet operation' to
be
carried out by one or other of the myriad Jihadist groups which
germinate in that country and which are in intimate relation to these
elements of the Hard State which creates them. She had become closely
identified with the USA and with a (currently) anti-Islamist position,
she and her
family (this is a feudal capitalist society) were hated by certain
factions (including those very powerful elites who were of General
Zia-ul-Haq's cadre, which include the ISI factions mentioned earlier)
and she was a woman and whatever her faults (and they were many), on a
very visceral level none of those bastards can stand a woman telling
them what to do. A woman Government Minister was assassinated through a
not dissimilar lapse in security a few months ago and another, forced
to resign on a ludicrous pretext.
4) If the USA are involved in some kind of long-game scenario then it
seems
likely that it would be as a means of positioning either Musharraf or
another Army general as a 'saviour' of the nation. They willingness of
the
UK and US governments to accept the official Pakistan Govt version of
the killing suggests complicity at some level, though this may partly be
them closing ranks behind their chosen, well-polished chess-piece,
Musharraf. I am resistant to easy, knee-jerk responses. These things are
often complex and multifactorial. But then, in days of rage ("you don't
need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"), I've often
thought that perhaps one of the USA's agendas is simply to foster situations
of maximum chaos and militarisation combined with economic
asset-stripping, throughout what the US state apparatus calls, the 'Greater Middle
East'
in order to seize control of resources and weaken rival economic blocs
(esp. the feared China-India-Russia nexus) and thereby to reinforce its
own
hegemony. It's what empires do. And of course, the USA has often killed
or deposed its own stooges (including General Zia-ul-Haq) many times
through history and manipulated extremist groupings in various ways
advantageous to the long-term objectives of its military-industrial
complex, i.e. its corporate economy which absolutely requires ongoing
and unending
war in distant places (about which we know lots). Sometimes bits of
shrapnel from these wars fly home
(e.g. 9/11, 7/7 et al, ad infinitum) and that, too is good only for the
security state, as in C19th Palmerstonian fashion, while extoling
human rights in the states of sometime enemies (ignoring the same things in
the states useful as allies) our own dear governments can engender a
strategy of tension and thence manufacture consent (I'm sorry, I
couldn't resist stealing that phrase from Chomsky and Hermann) for draconian
measures, including the tightening of legislation against legitimate,
peaceful dissent at home.
These are merely my current rambling hypotheses and of course they may
be
completely wrong. Maybe Bhutto just swooned because it was a cold,
Rawalpindi evening (ah, those days of the maidan, the 'Pindi jail and the
jasmine breeze!) and struck her head on the lever of the sunroof so
hard that it produced entry and exit wounds in her chest as well as in her
head and neck and perhaps there was and is no gun, no gunman, no bomb,
no bullet (magic or otherwise), no dead bodies, no judges in jail, no
evil at all in the Land of the Pure. Perhaps Pakistan itself is a
dream. Or perhaps Pakistan is Narnia, where the Goodies fight the Baddies
and elves and hobbits dance around camp-fires, singing sweet naaths into
the freezing night. The words of the Intelligence Brigadier-General
(why are there so many brigadiers in Pakistan and so few Little
Corporals?) at the press conference yesterday, in true comedic, oxymoronic
flight: "Gentlemen, trust your own intelligence services", were indeed like
something the Mad Hatter might say to the
March Hare in Wonderland, Through The Looking-Glass, or should I say,
through the bloodied Sunroof. Cup of tea, anyone?

POVODOM UBISTVA BENAZIR BUTO - APEL DEMOKRATSKOJ JAVNOSTI
Prekjuče je u Pakistanu mučki ubijena Benazir Buto na jednom javnom, političkom, demokratskom skupu. Gospođa Buto je bila inspiracija mnogima, jer je uprkos teroru i verskim fundamentalizmima bila jedna od retkih žena u tom svetu koja je na javnom prostoru svedočila da je biti moćna, progresivna, harizmatična žena i u takvom svetu-moguće.
Umesto In memoriam, recimo DOSTA totalitarnim režimima i mračnjačkim ideologijama u svetu kao i svima koji ih javno ili tajno pomažu, jer njihove krvave ruke prete svim progresivnim ženama koje su prisutne u javnom i političkom životu našeg vremena!
Zaustavimo sledeće egzekucije žena na javnoj i političkoj sceni!
Stop teroru i nasilju nad ženama!
