Joe Biden has been playing God again, this time in Pakistan. As reported in tortuous detail by the Intercept, his good buddy Antony Blinken was in on the shakedown and helped cover it up. In another of those offers which the Pakistani’s couldn’t refuse, Joe threatened to withhold American aid unless they did his bidding. Just like he did to Ukraine’s controversial prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, after being paid over $10 million by Burisma’s Mykola Zlochevsky.
Joe Biden runs Pakistan
Joe Biden has a lot more power in Pakistan than he does here in America. In a meeting held March 7, 2022, two State Department officials ordered the Pakistani ambassador to the United States to do whatever it took to remove Imran Khan as their prime minister.
It’s Ukraine-Shokin déjà vu all over again for Joe Biden and Antony Blinken. Khan’s horrid crime was daring to stay out of it between Russia and Ukraine. Americans are wondering how many millions Joe got wired into his shell companies ahead of that conference.
Over in Pakistan, they’ve been screaming bloody murder about it for a year and a half. Khan’s faction lost the power struggle on August 5. That’s when the Paki’s did to Khan what Merrick Garland can only dream about doing to Donald Trump. “Khan was sentenced to three years in prison on corruption charges and taken into custody for the second time.”
To no one's surprise, The Intercept reveals that the US pressured Pakistan to remove its popular prime minister, Imran Khan, last year over his neutrality regarding the conflict in Ukraine

Khan and his deplorable supporters scream that the charges are “baseless.” Just like Donald Trump, Khan happens to be “Pakistan’s most popular politician.” Thanks to the sentence, he’s blocked from the election. He’s not even allowed to contest the legality of it. Another point which sounds familiar here in the home of the brave.
The Intercept got their hands on a diplomatic message called a “cypher,” which was labeled “Secret.” Nobody seems to be looking for the leaker, who the paper claims is “an anonymous source in the Pakistani military.”
It “includes an account of the meeting between State Department officials, including Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu, and Asad Majeed Khan,” who at the time was our ambassador to Pakistan. The threat worked and Kahn was quickly ousted.
Not slaves to Europe
The thing that cheesed everyone off enough to have Joe Biden get Khan’s plug pulled was a speech he gave the day before the big meeting.
Addressing a Trump-like crowd of his political supporters, Khan responded to European pressure by inquiring “are we your slaves? What do you think of us? That we are your slaves and that we will do whatever you ask of us?” Pakistan, he dared to declare, “are friends of Russia, and we are also friends of the United States. We are friends of China and Europe. We are not part of any alliance.” Bzzzz – Wrong answer.
While everyone here in the U.S. State Department swore up and down that the accusations weren’t true, they sidestepped the issue of having Khan removed by officially stating that they don’t care who his replacement is. Pakistan simply won’t see another penny until he’s gone, they carefully left out of the denials.
Political victimization and vengeance against Chairman Imran Khan continues in Punjab.
The security barriers are being removed by the illegal and unelected government of Punjab. This act of vengeance must be condemned.#عمران_خان_کو_رہا_کرو pic.twitter.com/mWTHjnNRvG

Meanwhile, the FBI is taking notes on how “in recent months, the military-led government cracked down not just on dissidents but also on suspected leakers inside its own institutions, passing a law last week that authorizes warrantless searches and lengthy jail terms for whistleblowers.” Those guys from the IRS thought they were being retaliated against? They haven’t seen anything yet, Merrick Garland promises. The Pakistani’s had to get drastic because they were “shaken by the public display of support for Khan — expressed in a series of mass protests and riots this May.”
Donald Trump is watching the events over there just as closely as the feds. “Protests against Khan’s dismissal and suppression of his party have swept the country and paralyzed its institutions, while Pakistan’s current leaders struggle to confront an economic crisis triggered in part by the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on global energy prices. The present chaos has resulted in staggering rates of inflation and capital flight from the country.”
We could soon be following the Pakistan model. “Khan was convicted on flimsy charges following a trial where his defense was not even allowed to produce witnesses. He had previously survived an assassination attempt, had a journalist aligned with him murdered, and has seen thousands of his supporters imprisoned.“
