The Only Truth About US Justice is that Justice is in the Service of Empire!

This author supports Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, but in his own handwriting, and with his own acute forensic analysis documented below.

“It is my judgment that Dr Siddiqui is sentenced to a period of incarceration of 86 years”, said U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman on Thursday, September 23, 2010. Dr Aafia Siddiqui denounced the trial and said an appeal would be “a waste of time. I appeal to God.” Pakistan’s Daily Dawn, Sep 24, 2010

I don’t know if God is too busy to listen—for the atrocities committed by humans against other humans, I don’t subscribe to God’s intervention. Albeit, faith does help withstand any calamity. But empirically speaking, if wishes were horses then beggars would ride!

Indeed, the Holy Quran—Mussalman’s wrapped in fine silk Holy Scripture, usually occupying the top most shelf in the closet or bookshelf even in quasi Muslim homes—has categorically proffered that it is left to us human beings to interdict our own predators (what today has become the much maligned “Jihad”). It is the religion of Islam’s only antidote to hectoring hegemons, of any and all creeds, including tyrannical Muslim rulers themselves.

Muslims have no Romans 13 equivalent of the Christian Bible in the Holy Qur’an: “Honor the King. Do it anyway, whether the king deserves it or not”.

But Muslims do have pulpits, of every turban style known to man, found preaching something similar to side with their tyrannical / authoritarian / despotic rulers (when not co-opted into complete silence or into sectarian schisms that is):

“I am free to submit to authority. I am free to make myself a slave. My friends, you are free, you are free to respect and appreciate the authority of the government that god gives to you - Honor the King! The way you talk about your government, it's so easy to complain isn't it? It is so easy to criticize, it is so easy to find fault. Honor the King. Do it anyway, whether the king deserves it or not. All authority, all authority is an extension of god's authority!” See: Why I am a Muslim by Zahir Ebrahim.

But we, the people, let it happen, again and again—the “Never Again” pledge only for giving blanket license to the chosen peoples to do it to the goyem first in the name of that pledge—in the fear that the goyem will eventually do it to them again. The grotesque burden of that weight of three thousand five hundred years of history is an abominable ounce too far.

From Gaza to Gaza there are victims of wars of aggression and primacy thinly disguised as self-defense.

This author supports Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, but in his own handwriting, and with his own acute forensic analysis documented below.

This author does not endorse, nor speak for anyone else’s opinions on Dr. Aafia Siddiqui or her case.

This author stands uniquely apart from everyone else, calling out the foundational axiom of America’s so called “global war on terror”—which ensnared Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, and about 600 other innocent Pakistanis who were shamelessly sold by Pakistan’s then government of Dictator-General Pervez Musharraf, to the Americans for a few copper coins, including Dr. Aafia Siddiqui who was kidnapped along with her three young children—the Big Lie of 9/11 as pretext for imperial mobilization. Learn and understand—You concede the case ab initio by axiomatically accepting the Big Lie!

No supporter of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui has dared to call out that imperial fiction—which, in any fair non imperial court of law (it’s besides the point that no such court of law will ever be convened under Pax Americana except under victor’s justice when the United States shall replace the Third Reich in the docks), throws out Dr. Aafia Siddiqui’s case ab initio.

The accurate analysis of realism instead of repeating the myths of 9/11, puts the charges of criminal culpability and aggression directly upon the United States, invoking the international precedent set at Nuremberg Military Tribunals under which, 22 members of the Nazi top leadership, dreaming of a thousand year Reich, were ceremoniously hanged at the gallows with great fanfare of ushering in the new era of international justice.

But of course, the king of the jungle can choose when to lay an egg and when to lay a baby (translation of the popular Urdu vernacular: jungle ka badshah chahe anda dey chahe bacha dey). And we live in a social Darwinian jungle surrounded by ubermenschen of every creed color and racial origin. So, as in the Darwinian jungle of evolution—the struggle for the survival of the fittest which has the knack for weeding out the weak and the unadaptable—those who cannot defend against the predators of our own jungles today, have little chance for survival.

Seems like the Natural Law of God as well—empirically speaking—when ‘the meek shall inherit the earth’, I don’t know. I’d be foolish to count on that as the strategy for my self-defense!—let alone a nation’s, or a peoples’!

Allah, God, has no extra rope stretched out for mankind. The Divine Guidance System that Muslims proclaim to believe in, has already shown ‘the way of the rope’—‘whether we be grateful or ungrateful’.

We let Aafia Siddiquis happen.

It is, after all, our own glorious Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Ishaq Dar, who comes to the United States and glibly, quite gratuitously, completely out of the blue, informs the Trump Administration lackeys in thinktanks and newsmedia that: udhar tum with Aafia Siddiqui idhar hum with Imran Khan. I.e., translating that Urdu vernacular for English speakers:

you keep your villain in gaol for 86 years with your eternally fair egalitarian legal system that you preach to the world, and we shall, taking a leaf out of your own wise playbook of democratic statecraft, keep our villain in our state hospitality center; and you dare not question us for it, for we are only learning from your own practice of legally co-opting the legal system!

Before someone jumps to the false conclusion that like many others filled with great consternation in Pakistan at Mr. Ishaq Dar’s ugly and thoughtless statement in the most powerful country on earth, to lend justification for holding Pakistan’s populist leader Imran Khan in gaol, and for which he has unsuccessfully tried to back peddle, and his chamchas (sycophants) in the newsmedia and government continue to offer clarifications upon clarifications day after day: “Oh he didn’t really mean what he said—he was actually trying to say…”, I am no fan of Doktor Imran Khan!

The Machiavellian enfant terrible who dreamed of being Prime Minister and sold his soul to the devil in a Faustian bargain to get there like so many others before him who came out from the same authoritarian nursery for political front faces. IK’s twirling his rosary beads for an “Islamic touch” notwithstanding, but which seems to easily fool his cult-like followers worldwide, his popularity increasing with each passing month he stays in gaol giving sleepless nights to the keepers of the state who remain its beneficiary.

So, let’s not blame God for our sins of omissions and commissions. Nor should we blame the predators—for how can one separate a lion or a snake in the grass from its predatory nature?

Probably the biggest mazloom (victim) from time immemorial is this immanent entity called God! All people of all creed malign it for exercising their own cruelty to fellow human beings as “Divinely Ordained”. God may only curse them—I don’t know if the God of the Holy Qur’an takes affront from Its own Creations.

See: The Eschatology Trap - A Self-fulfilling Prophecy, for how we tend to believe in criminal absurdities and condone unspeakable horrors in the name of God.
