I'm re-sharing various tweets from the past few years on USAID and NED activities in Pakistan.

This is a comprehensive list (with receipts) of various actors who received US taxpayer $$ for "democracy" but actively worked to dismantle it.👇🧵 1. In 2024, the military controlled election commission of Pakistan held the worst election in the history of elections... and American taxpayers paid for it🤡🤡.

Probably the biggest waste of money in USAID history

I have pinned this post which is a "thread" of my various "threads" about Pakistani politics over the last few years including accurately predicting PTI's 186 seats in the 2024 elections, significance of youth voters, and critiques of fake opinion polls & false reporting
🧵👇 1. I'll start with my first ever thread which I still believe was the most important one. After the regime change in April 2022, I became obsessed with the upcoming election. This thread highlighted the role of the "youth" vote in the next elections.

Informed by local “experts”, one of the narratives used by Western media to explain Pakistani politics is that the 2018 election was gifted to Imran Khan’s PTI by the military.

However, this is false and misleading in light of election data, opinion & exit polls.
Thread 🧵👇
1/n First, let’s look at results since democratic elections returned in 2008. An examination of voting patterns shows that winning parties received a similar percentage of overall votes in Pakistan’s first-past-the-poll system. However, PTI’s seats-to-vote ratio was much lower.

The mysterious manipulation of voter lists (electoral rolls) by Election Commission of 🇵🇰.

On 28th March, ECP published new voter lists with 125.6 million voters. However, this has major differences compared to the "final electoral lists" published in October.

Thread 👇
1/n ImageImage First, the ECP had published "Final Electoral Lists" for the next General Elections in Oct 2022 after an exercise of more than a year. In those lists, the number of voters were only 122.2 million, 4.6 million less than the "revised" lists published on 28th March.

It’s become necessary to start a podcast where these jokers are challenged and alternate views are presented. 380,000 views where this clown sat and said that whoever isn’t trying to be friends with Modi is an enemy of Pakistan and recommended books by Ayesha Siddiqi and Haqqani Image This is in ideation phase. I know a few people offered to help before but if you drop me a DM I will definitely set something up for this week to discuss. I think I already have a host in mind

Maryam Nawaz and PMLN sharing posts of fake accounts to hype up Nawaz Sharif's visit to Saudi.

Pic 2: The page claims no relation to the mosques
Pic 3: The site's twitter account was suspended for impersonation ImageImageImage Here is a link to the facebook post from which was shared. I think, but can't confirm, that the comments on this photo are also being managed.

CNN's @SophiaSaifi is either woefully misinformed or working on an agenda. In her feature length article she fails to mention KP and Punjab elections, which are due on 12 and 18 April as per the constitution, and which the govt. has failed to hold, disenfranchising 140m people edition.cnn.com/2023/03/31/asi…

Here is the article full of half truths and manipulations.

Pakistan's govt. and Election Commission are unconstitutionally blocking elections in Punjab and KP provinces beyond the 90 day limit set out in Article 224(2) of the constitution.

#ElectionsIn90Days
#NationStandswithCJP

Here are the facts:
🧵👇 On the 14th and 18th of January, the provincial assemblies of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provinces in Pakistan were dissolved by the Chief Ministers under Art. 112 of the constitution.

There are approx. 40m new voters in 🇵🇰 since 2013.

As the PTI modernised and reached out to these young voters, PPP/PMLN kept doing politics of 90s.

This is essential to understand the shift in Pakistani politics; unfortunately, most “experts” don’t/won’t talk about this
(1/4) The politics of denial like “PTI stole the 2018 elections” doesn’t hurt PTI, it hurts PMLN/PPP. Rather than doing ideological politics to reach new voter blocs, they’re still reliant on “clientelistic”vote buying. But as the electorate expanded, those tactics became redundant

Seeing the vile campaign against the CJP, I feel compelled to share a few comments left by 2,500+ Pakistanis who signed my open letter and saying #NationStandswithCJP

Here is a thread full of messages of hope from Pakistanis which you should read if you feel dejected

🧵👇 "Protect the people's rights, and the people will protect your legacy. It is up to you if you want to be remembered alongside Justice Munir or with Jinnah and Iqbal. Please choose wisely, the people are looking at you."

A lot of noise is being made by certain sections of media about today’s judgment by J. Faez Isa regarding the use of “suo moto” powers under Article 184 (3).

2 questions are key: timing of the ruling, and if it’s consistent with J Isa’s past positions.

I answer both🧵👇 First: why has the decision come out today?

This is important because the case on which the judgment is issued doesn’t actually have anything to do with the present matter being heard about the Punjab/KP Elections. It’s about extra marks for Hafiz-E-Quran in MBBS/BDS tests!

I just emailed the Open Letter to SC with signs and comments by more than 2,000 ordinary Pakistanis (in less than a day), clearly showing that #NationStandswithCJP

Below, I'm sharing some of the best comments
(captured perfectly in this📽️ by my great friend @soufiasiddiqi)

🧵👇 A whole day collecting, collating, and anonymising this data & I'm simply amazed just how aware the general public is! From students to academics to workers like drivers, painters & housewives.

I hope judges can see this and take heart that this isn't 1997 anymore.

The constitution is abrogated and judges are harassed, yet the 100 "prominent" Pakistanis from April have stayed silent.

Pls take 30 seconds & sign this letter by "ordinary" citizens of Pakistan and give a clear message that #NationStandswithCJP

Journalists including @melissakchan and @AmberRShamsi have made Trump and @ImranKhanPTI comparisons over the last few days, insinuating that Khan is a rightwing "populist".
I looked into these claims to see whether these comparisons are accurate or justified.
Thread below 👇🧵 Comparisons of Mr. Khan and Mr. Trump started as early as August 2018, just after his party emerged as the biggest political party in Pakistan, winning 116 seats in the 272 member parliament. Unlike Trump however, Khan had a 22 year political struggle when he was elected.

Writing for @AJEnglish, @AmberRShamsi among other things, claims that PTI is a “right-wing” populist party, that their supporters threw petrol bombs at police, that Khan is avoiding the courts, and that they rely on propaganda like Trump & Bolsonaro. I counter her with facts 🧵👇 First, she claims that police only had tear gas and sticks, when there is proof that they were carrying guns as while rubber bullets were also widely used (see videos below). There is also no clear evidence that petrol bombs were used so far. 2/n Image

PTI supporters on Twitter need a little realignment IMO

We already build the narrative in Pakistan, but we need to fact check Int’l media reporting which help build global public perception. Today’s articles on Lahore in CNN, Guardian, NPR were such BS. I try but I need HELP! 😢 There’s no point going after lowlifes like Shama Junejo, Kasim Gilani, Shake Shack, Saad Kaiser etc.

Spend your time constructively and help the movement!

Dear @PTIUKofficial team. Please reach out to @guardian and correct this blatantly one sided reporting by @ShahmeerAlbalos where he puts entire blame on Imran Khan, peddling the lies of the state. Please play your role!
theguardian.com/world/2023/mar…
🧵👇 The article asked comments from completely biased observers like @muneebfaruqpak who said that Khan will not be harmed but the interior minister himself has threatened him as shown in this video Image

Last week, @ECP_Pakistan released final electoral rolls before next general elections in 2023 (GE23). Haven’t heard about it? Well it’s designed to be that way so elections can be managed/rigged to deny fundamental right of voting, particularly to young women. Thread🧵(1/n) 2) The latest electoral rolls shows registered voters at 122 million, which is an addition of 16 million voters compared to the last voter lists published in March 2018 for General Elections 2018 (GE18), which seems like a huge addition. So far so good, right? Not quite ImageImage

Thread I did on @dawn_com failing to meet basic journalistic standards in their vendetta against Imran Khan a while back.

Will add more tweets under this one 👇 The time they wrote a “feisty, articulate, intelligent, and very independent” article about Reham’s book Image
