WMD - Weapon of Mass Disruption attack on Pakistan Armed Forces

WMD – Weapon of Mass Disruption attack on Pakistan Armed Forces

As much as we condemn attack on Hamid Mir, we must castigate and denunciate those who with no evidence attacked Pak Army. According to Sun Tsu; “To subdue the enemy without fighting is the supreme excellence”.  Until further investigation, this incidence should be considered as a part of psychological warfare. The incidence itself can be considered as low intensity “WMD – Weapon of Mass Disruption” to disrupt and divide society, increase chaotic conditions.

Pakistan is under socio-economical and socio-psychological attack from its enemies who very much like to denuclearize the country. An undeclared war with ferocious intensity! Incidence of Hamid Mir is a notch up in an effort to keep Pakistan Army busy within and not focus on the exodus of the US and NATO from Afghanistan. This undeclared PSYOP warfare campaign is a war of the minds and nerves.  Primary target of WMD (weapon of mass disruption) is sight and sound. We have both in HM incidence – sound of GEO, JANG and DAWN and sight of HM lying in hospital. In this attack PSYOP is disseminated through audio visual means (TV), visual media, political leaders (PM and other govt officials with vested interest) and the talk show pundits paid by their handlers.  It does not matter how the WMD was sent or fired, but the message it carries and this message affect the recipients- Pakistanis.

So a word of advice for Pakistanis is what the enemy’s objective is to appeal to intelligence, reason, and emotions to get Pakistanis to think and act as the enemy desire. The enemy wants to persuade Pakistani nation to disassociate with the ONLY institution that guarantee their freedom and safety. Pakistanis as a nation must stand up against their own media by boycotting and ostracizing GEO, JANG and DAWN.  Use the American public strategy of hurting these bigots where it impact the most- the pocket book. While proscribing these media hubs, we must display positivity, have faith in our belief, and remain discipline by remembering Shaheed Salahuddin – a journalist of much higher caliber killed in Karachi in December 1994, whose killers yet to be apprehended. Salahuddin family was offered 5 lakh rupees by Nawaz Sharif but no judicial commission was announced then.
