Well done Donald Trump! This will go down as some of the good decisions you took, but seriously, well done, though much more needs to be done, police sensitivity training in dealing with people of color, use of tasers than guns, aiming for legs than abdomen/head/chest of suspects unless in a life threatening situation for the Officer where "shoot to kill" is justified (and defining those scenarios clearly, rest leaving to the Officer's good judgment) - you also need to enforce way stricter gun control and de-weaponize the streets of America from thugs and criminals

Donald Trump announced a federal ban on police officers applying chokeholds as part of a new process under which local police departments receive federal grant dollars, but an officer can use such a maneuver if they feel their life is in danger. The president's qualifier is the same that has allowed...

How Pakistani Men & Women let Women down...

Women's rights or empowerment? Forget it... let alone basic respect. Women are treated worse than goats, marital r**e is commonplace, pregnancies are defined by men, women's consent is not taken into account, the quest for a "boy" has had many a wife, sister or a mother forced to bear many children till "a boy" is born, some even murdered (abuse in front of children is actually a norm) - "second" wives are brought in to make up for the lack of a "son" - the concept of romance even between husband and wife is considered taboo. Valentine's Day is mocked on some flimsy religious grounds as "unIslamic" (religion as always reigns supreme in Pakistan to control minds). A husband who listens to his wife is a "sissy" - wife beaters are respected in society. And oft times it is WOMEN perpetuating these behaviours as mothers and sisters. I have heard from many that Imran Khan's marriage to Jemima Khan and even Reham Khan was adversely affected by his family, sisters or so I have unverified reports on from close circles. And Mr Khan and his family are highly educated top 0.1% of Pakistan, imagine the rest!

Sadly, when I launched AuratKiAwaz in Pakistan (WomenAreVotes) with Shahnaz Minallah back in 2016 she told me "women are women's worst enemies often" I see that in action today, Malik Riaz's daughter acted like a spoilt brat and tyrant to the women her husband was having a fling with as documented in the news item. WORSE, cheap men aplenty in Pakistan have been commenting on "why aren't AuratMarch / Women's Rights activists" not coming forward? Instead of being MAN enough themselves to stand up for women!

No, Pakistani men and women remind me of Europeans in the Dark Ages. We still live those times, God knows for how much longer...

Pilot Error: PIA PK8303 post crash Analysis

I have an aviation background, based on actual media reports, some grey cells, past air crash investigations and the actual sequence of events, here's what I think happened to PIA8303. In summary, to me it appears 100% pilot error. Detailed investigations with ATC recordings, FDR, CVR (flight data/voice recorders) and runway debris will confirm the facts as I portray here.

Sequence of events:

1 Plane took off from Lahore, apparently no issues in flight

2 On first attempt to land, both pilots missed the landing gear not deployed warnings and only realized at a few hundred feet above the ground, at exactly 275 ft they gave the engines full TOGA (go around) power

3 The Airbus, or any such heavy aircraft, takes time to rev up the engines, it's not a Tesla motor, the plane continued to drop and the engines scr**ed the runway as evidenced by burn marks under the engines as captured in photos. Passengers recounted three humps before second take off which clearly confirms the engine housings suffered significant damage, and yet the pilot knowingly didn't continue belly landing on a large runway

5 Karachi Jinnah airport has 11,000 ft of runway compared to 4,500 ft required for A320, so double the runway was available to cater to loss of wheel braking and also, all emergency services were available, fire and ambulances. Yet in my opinion the pilots did not consider any of these factors and recklessly continued the flight, perhaps due stress and embarrassment realizing their mistake of ignoring landing gear warnings

6 This was the first critical sequence of mistakes by the pilots, ignoring landing gear not deployed, not continuing belly landing given the realization, and taking off on damaged engines as they knew both they were hit before they took off again, the copilot could have put his foot down as is taught in aviation emergency responses that the Captain need not be followed if the copilot thinks he's in error. Yes, aborting landing might have had them overshoot the runway, but nowhere the disaster that followed later. We are unsure if there was a bird strike but given the clear burn marks at the bottom of engines as evidenced in pictures, it's an open and shut engines damage case which later caught fire. See Daily Mail and others links for reports/pictures

7 In flight, the pilots realized there was engine fire as pictures show fire retardants were used and also they lowered the APU (auxiliary power unit fan) to power the instruments and flight controls. Instead of making an immediate attempt to belly land by one of the pilots as the other handled engine fire - this is the protocol in air emergencies. They were so near to the airport it actually took a planned failure to not land. 15 precious minutes they were circling and troubleshooting, then flying to safety

8 Even after all these glaring mistakes, minutes from disaster, the pilots had a FINAL lifeline, gliding to the airport or to the dirt stretch before the runway, but this too was not to be! The final picture of the doomed aircraft show it in a steep nose up stance which is typical of a climb, and climbs are initiated with engine thrust, when the pilots were aware they had none, pitching the nose up was a recipe for disaster and indicates they had lost their mental faculties to and hoping for a miraculous thrust from the engines to clear the doomed houses they were flying over, thus the pitching up plane without power, stalled and fell from the sky. The only reason for this is due stress the pilots were not managing the crisis in front of them, the crisis was managing them till the horrible end!

9 Even ON the ground had the CAA, PIA, Army Aviation, PAF had fire retardant planes or helicopters they could have quickly scrambled to the crash site and sprayed, this would have been a far off call though, perhaps not possible due the congested location of the fuselage

10 So, in hindsight, there were three lifelines the pilots had but failed to exploit any:

First, attempt belly landing in the initial touchdown. With ample runway and airport facilities, fire and emergency readiness this was the pilots best bet, they blew it and decided a dangerous TOGA (go around) at 275 feet only. A320 engines need time to rev up which is why the ground scraping marks, damaging the engines, yet they were expected to generate full thrust with internal damages leading to a fire in both engines as soon as they were airborne

Second, they wasted 15 precious minutes in three rounds circling the airport while I'm pretty sure trying in vain to "fix the landing gear" - critical moments were wasted, they just needed to fly back and LAND on their belly rather than attempting to "fix" problems that were almost impossible to fix in their scenario while maintaining airworthiness (burning engines)

Third, on final approach, with confirmed loss of both engines, fire as well, instead of planning their glide to the airport, the pilots veered off course and pitched the plane up! This was the last straw that broke the A320's back and the drag created on zero engine power literally plummeted the plane from the sky as the videos show. All the pilots had to do was plan their approach, pitch slightly down, gain airspeed and barely cross the 400 meter stretch beyond the colony and the main road to the sand stretch preceding the runway leading to a much better outcome. There are also doubts on the pilots heading, which seems to have been misaligned with the runway which could have further increased their distance to safety for a falling plane

Lastly, there were two survivors, one of whom, Zubair, told the media that he heard a lot of screams as he scrambled from the smoke filled cabin to light (exit) - which proves there were many survivors. Which lead us to the lack of firefighting aircraft or their utilization by PIA or PAF, a difficult proposition, which could have finally saved some as the crash site was inaccessible due its narrow lanes to firefighters

Hence, while we all wait for detailed investigation reports covering all of the above and more (any pre flight defects unrevealed as of now) however, it does appear, most likely, that pilot error was the culprit here all said and done, we shall find out!

In conclusion: It appears beyond any reasonable doubt to me that the pilot botched up the first belly landing and lifted off AFTER the engines touched the runway that fatally wounded the aircraft already stricken with landing gear issues and put the engines on fire right after the go around. Even then they wasted 15 minutes in firefighting and troubleshooting instead of making an immediate belly landing given their close proximity to the airport and with all emergency readiness at the terminal

If one sees air crash investigations, pilots in stress, despite experience make glaring mistakes, emotions take over and they miss obvious clues and measures that can save lives. This has been happening a lot. Also cockpit management is an issue. One pilot is expected to fly the plane to safety the second to troubleshoot, but in REALITY BOTH are often busy troubleshooting! And problems intensify soon to unmanageable proportions as happened here. Due senior / junior relationship most copilots are subservient as was the case in the AirBlue crash in Margalla Hills or Arianna flight in San Francisco. Whereas aviation standards ask for copilot to have EQUAL responsibility of managing a crisis and overriding the Captain if he thinks he's in error, it's sad and tragic, boils down to human nature and not enough stress management training

Pilot error cost all but 2 passengers their lives in the balance. May they rest in peace, Amen

Greetings season with a humbling message!

Another round of Ramadan Greetings, then soon, Eid Greetings. While I appreciate the many greetings I am sent, I have a humble submission if the senders don't mind: Is it not time for repentance for humans? It is rather obvious that God is angry with us. I believe, and you may disagree, that we have not followed the commands of our Creator except for a cosmetic sense. As Muslims I realize we have many faults, we need to be more honest, kind and ethical with each other. We need to stop racism and bias that we often engage in. We need to value merit and egalitarian values, and we need to respect all faiths and people even if we don't like them. That is the only way the world will also respect us.

Please pray that we humans behave as our Creator expects us to rather than our own whims and fancies, easily influenced by our unseen, but powerful enemy, Mr Lucifer/Shaitaan

Thank you, Ramadan Kareem, CrystalHeart Kazmi

Today, I am ashamed to be a Pakistani

Our Prime Minister is stripped on a US visit and our people are caught as drug dealers all over the world, our own in our own lands are unsafe, living in injustice, hunger and overall hopelessness (I speak of the majority not the elites who can read my post in English here)

And we are told Kashmir is a problem?

Everything is a problem! I believe the ARMY is the only sane and competent institution and high time it pays us back for our faith in it with good governance, as OTHERWISE, in the words of "White Doug" in Hangover 1 "that ain't happenin"....

Tassadaq Rickshaw driver contact +923435715678 abused on bank street by police

This (was) live happening around 6PM on bank road in pindi. Lifter stopped Rickshaw guy asked for 200 he asked why but didn't listen. Now lifter asked cop to fine him for 750. People around but policeman openly abusing people and Rickshaw driver. Long live Pakistan where justice is bloody mahfooz. The people are taking law in their own hands. Seems no other way

If you as a Pakistani, have any shame or decency circulate in all media and your friends. 200 people were with this Rickshaw driver on bank street when police guys beefed up abused all and dispersed his no is below. If you are a Muslim or even a bloody human. Dammit just DO it. Let them see pics and talk to Rickshaw driver and either weep or stand like a man and fight the evil of democracy and corrupt police

For the record Intesarul Haq (the PTI media guy) told me that our media staff are mostly unpaid on time by employers so they kiss ass of all the baddies for some money and even attention. It is a sad state. That the channels project Pakistan as a sum of 3 forces. PmlN PPP and PTI leaders and their opinions only, the common man and woman opinions are discarded like toilet paper. I believe the energy I saw today in the people had I not had to reach somewhere. Had I stayed there I swear a 1000 people would have gathered in less than an hour. It was surreal. You guys in this group mostly bu****it or silently observe only. Those guys spoke like they OWNED PAKISTAN. I was so happy and proud of those poor people if you could hear them speak I am sure maybe the real man or woman of character in yourself may also wake up. We need leaders not talkers. And all of us must think like leaders for change to happen. There is no other way. Complaining and sharing crap doesn't help. Blame me if it makes you feel good but in your hearts of hearts I'm sure you know I speak what is in yours too. Let's team up and uproot this evil corrupt slave master bo***ge called democracy that is shamefully supported by the West who follow an exact OPPOSITE model of the same to ours - yet THRUST this bloody democracy and lawlessness on us and THEN blame US for terrorism and hate!!!

STOP supporting such an INHUMAN version of democracy in our countries and in turn STOP terrorism AND migration to / in the West to a LARGE extent, loud, clear and simple enough I guess...

Will you help or just talk?

I launched ChangePakistanNow.wordpress.com back in 2006 (it shows 2008 because I moved it from blogger), I approached almost all MNAs, MPAs, Ministers with the presentation therein, hoping to influence them towards the path of righteousness - serving their people, then themselves, as ordained by the Almighty and as expected by the people who voted them in. I was wrong, there was hardly any response except personal appreciation to me for the same, but no further action.

Between different jobs and a frail business, I kept visiting Pakistan on my mission over the year that had originally started when I was with Nokia back in 1999 and had influenced the Government of Pakistan towards ending smuggling of cell phones that led to USD 1 bn in revenue vide SRO 390/2001 and was motivated for larger social change. I met Imran Khan in 2010 at his beautiful hilltop house in Banigala, Musharraf around the same time in Dubai and both were appreciative of my efforts too, Imran had nicknamed me "DubaiKaDynamite" but unfortunately for reasons I cannot share publicly we had to distance ourselves. Musharraf was surrounded by sycophants who were least bothered with my agenda for change to the point that we had a volte-face, nevertheless Musharraf despite my even insulting behavior towards him at one point in time due his reliance on the wrong people was positive and appreciative. Somehow people who met me believed that while I was a bit of an eccentric crackpot, I perhaps meant well for this nation.

In 2016 I teamed up with retired men in uniform and civilians to launch a party to take the country back, we couldn't take off due internal rifts, but I didn't lose hope, kept trying, so this year I have 3 volunteers with whom I intend to launch our movement for change, Gen Abdul Malik, Col Zaman Ranjha and Major Ali. I met several Generals and senior retired corporate and civil services officers, in general the response was positive, people want to see a real body of change, unlike Mr Imran Khan's hijacked by the same old forces of PPP and PMLN body of change. Whereas PTI doesn't reward competence rather rhetoric (Sheikh Rashid types) we intend to do the opposite, our leader Gen Malik is a very QUIET and SOBER man. Setting an example of real change, then loud matches like the rest.

We don't have money, barely enough to survive and meet our obligations i.e., but we do have the right intent to save our nation. Save from what? Democracy! As Mr Zardari once said, "democracy is the best revenge" and so it is for an average Pakistani, just look at our global rankings by major agencies, Corruption 143/182 (Transparency International), Press Freedom (151/178 Reporters without Borders), Democracy Index (108/167 Economist Intelligence Unit), Failed States Index (10/177 Funds for Peace, Foreign Policy ThinkTank) YET we rank high on production! Cauliflowers and broccoli production, No 5 Fish production, 36, Cotton production, 4, Onion production, 7 Wheat production, 9 - our area is 34th largest in 233 countries, 2nd highest point in the world is with us (K2), we have the THIRD LARGEST English speaking population in 133 countries! YET our Human Development Index is 147/177 and Quality of Life is 93 out of 111 countries! and the sixth highest population in the world. Our Account Balance globally is 112/188 nations and sadly index of Economic Freedom is 93/157 nations, yet our labour force is 10/222 nations! 29/207 in natural gas reserves too!

So, we have a state that is RICH in resources, natural or otherwise yet downtrodden in human existence indexes, this is the result of despicable, inhuman, lying, cheating, defrauding governance over the years.

Thus we intend to rescue our nation, and ultimately the Ummah and the whole world suffering from poverty and misgovernance, even the so called "developed West" has immense problems as the Trump election highlighted, healthcare, economy, tolerance, hey, they actually make us feel better on our state! Look at the Brexit state of UK! The world isn't as rosy as some make it sound like. And in here is an opportunity for change, real change.

Our change manifesto (so far, our team is working hard on a newer document) is BIRI (a primitive rural cigarette :) hahah) it means Equality/Respect/Income/Justice.
B-arabri (or EQUALITY) - caste ridden we are, we propose all to be treated equally in Pakistan regardless of ANY criterion, race, gender, caste, religion, none of these could be used to discriminate one Pakistani from another. We also have a Hindus and Brits like ugly class system in our institutions where the "Officers" are treated distinctly differently from the so called "rank and file" - this is inhuman and also un Islamic in our opinion. All must be treated fairly and equally, a Sepoy should have the opportunity to be developed given potential to the level of a COAS or a Federal Secretary.

I-zzat (or RESPECT) - free match of hate we have, we propose not just for Islam as many fight for in Pakistan but ALL faiths and communities and people

R-ozgar (or INCOME) - poverty ridden nation we are, we propose reducing taxes to flat 10% to encourage investors and also allow imports of old cars currently banned forcing masses to use risky bikes and horrible public transport, the Quran says (Baqarah): " 110 Establish worship, and pay the poor-due; and whatever of good ye send before (you) for your souls, ye will find it with Allah. Lo! Allah is Seer of what ye do."

I-nsaf (or JUSTICE) - lawless we are, Ayyan Ali is caught at the airport red handed with USD 500,000 and walks away free as Zardari is behind her, so does Dr Asim Hussain with billions of corruption, not to mention Shahbaz and Nawaz Sharif with Panama Papers fame, we propose our corrupt police and judiciary to be replaced log, stock and barrel with retired armed forces personnel - a system without lawyers but government appointed investigators to uncover the truth of any case, and reevaluate all prisoners, free the innocent or reduce sentences.

To attain leadership, we must win votes in the 2018 elections in less than a year, to win votes

We need people, are you willing to join us? Would you recommend us to your friends? or on social media?

We need funds: we must have an organization and a structure, we need money for that, we need donors, to create an endowment fund for us that we use income thereof to run operations.

A DIFFERENT VIEW on Trump!

It's been a long time I wrote on Donald Trump, and here's a bit post some friends speaking on him...

Everyone I know including many of his supporters had a "gut feeling" he'd never even make it, I somehow ALWAYS believed he WILL. You see having read his book, I felt like I KNEW the man! His decision making style, his overall approach, and the latter media trial that started against him was in all honesty poles apart from his persona as I read in the book! And it was apparently written by him, it was very simple, very direct, judgmental and prescriptive. He came across as an excellent person if you ask me, way before the election days, when I bought and read "How to Get Rich" by Donald J. Trump hoping I will somehow discover the magic.

I felt FLEECED from that perspective as there was no ONE idea on how to make good money through his book! But TONS of ideas on how to ASSESS people, how to differentiate friends from foes, I mean there was a lot of chicken soup for the soul in it, and a lot of savvy advice for a businessman on how to conduct his affairs. I developed IMMENSE respect for Donald J. Trump through that book and even contacted Ivanka Trump for a business deal and was professionally dealt with by one of her staff.

Now as a politician how he is and who he bows down to as in centers of power and to what ends? That we'll probably never know as am sure he won't write a book on it hahahahahah but trust me, the man isn't evil as he's portrayed to be, this is my honest opinion.

I stand to gain NOTHING from him, by virtue of being a Muslim his administration will have nothing except a dagger for me, but could I be selfish and blame him for discriminating me and my so called "people" (who disown me anyway)? No I won't I'll say it like it is, that's how my dad raised me, to call a spade a spade and NEVER worry about the consequences. That's for the manipulative or the faint of heart, and I'm neither...

Is he GOOD for America or the World? I don't know, all I know is that he fought his way in one of the most controversial elections in recent history with an extremely controversial agenda.

Someone once said "if you keep repeating the same thing over and over again, you'll keep getting the same results" - in the case of Donald J. Trump I can safely say that he will NOT be doing the "same thing" as he hasn't in the last 4 months.

And that to me, translates to an expectation of different results, if the last post 9/11 16 years are anything to go by, this should auger well...
