WAR KNOW A DAYS IS NOT FOUGHT WITH WEAPONS. ECONOMY IS THE ULTIMATE WEAPON


Today , in the realm of military power linked with economic challenges in the rising vulnerability of South Asia, Pakistan Army has successfully lived up to its task with leaps,and bounds of not only defending the external threat but also the existential internal networked warfare. You may agree or denounce but it is a corroboration that the war USA has not won in 15 years; Pakistan army has showed the guts of telling how to win a war with fervour, spirit of sacrifice,and Patriotism. From the guns of Brigadier Aslam men to Major tufail bravery in 1958 to Raja Aziz Bhatti Rifle company to Major Shabbir Sharif , fighting hand to hand with Narain Singh till Lt.col. Faisal Malik defusing IEDs, Hats off to our dauntless armed forces for everything good in Pakistan. A poetic verse for these peculiar people 
Humain dunya sa kiya lena Shahadat hy mission apna
Paharon may dafan hongy baraf hogi kafan apna 
Celebrate this day, concurrently commemorating those who laid their lives , family ,and wealth to bulwark in opposition to belligerents. May Allah bless all officers,and Jawans serving the nation unabated in courage. Ameen

REALITY OF GWADAR , PAKISTAN IS BECOMING A CHINESE COLONY ?


Game Changer
1. 91% of the income from Gwadar Port goes to the Chinese and 9% to Pakistan
2. Chinese companies get preferential treatment and tax exemptions (making it impossible for local companies to compete and opens the Pakistani market for a commercial invasion)
3. Money for the road network comes from Pakistan (so we're paying for the roads China will use to export stuff to us and the world)
4. Of the original $50b, over $30b was loans to build power plants for which we'll pay a) interest to Chinese banks b) exorbitant profits to Chinese companies who will build and supply to these plants c) guaranteed profits to the Chinese companies that will operate and own these plants d) backed by sovereign guarantee
5. We're making commitments to buy electricity at over 8 cents from coal-based plants and India is buying solar electricity at 4 cents (solar price is crashing every year). This will make our manufacturing uncompetitive for the next 15 years or longer
6. Meanwhile, the government falsely thinks tax revenue growth is economic growth. Excessive taxation is crushing the local industry and businesses and the government claims a "victory" every time it borrows more money
7. The Chinese are rational profit-minded businessmen...they have zero incentive to think about our future prosperity. Would they rather bolster our economy or own us?
So why is the CPEC "game changer" being sold to us with such force? As a state, we are feeling threatened by multiple regional and global forces. The Chinese investment is an insurance policy.

We're giving them what they want (profits), in return for what we want (security and survival).
What's the problem?
That the "game changer" is a mirage. Let's be honest about CPEC. It won't bring us prosperity. It's a debt trap we're willing to get into because we're desperate. Once we see it for what it is, we'll know what to do: tighten our belts, work hard, train our people and export more.
And start before it's too late.
The Chinese are our friends but we're going to turn them into our masters. Even God doesn't help a people that don't help themselves, so why would the Chinese?

BITCOINS HARAAM OR HAALAL OR ARE BANNED BY FBR ? HERE ARE YOUR ANSWERS

Bitcoins are neither haraam nor illegal in Pakistan.

How is it not banned?
Pakistani government officials are having a huge investment in this currency. Inspired by its growing economy, Pakistan has invented its own cryptocurrency named Pakcoin then how can it be illegal? I have my folks in FBR, they are only taking actions against those who are involved in money laundering otherwise all the huge Bitcoin affiliating sites would have been banned in Pakistan, but guess what? None of them have been! So stop spreading false news just because you are not investing in it!
How is it not haraam?
Since there is always a risk of facing a loss if its value goes down (There is a really remote chance of it), So it is not haraam! It is just like buying shares of a company. If you call company's shares haraam too, then stop using ALL company's products since all the companies survive on their share market.
The price is rising, it will fall down too!?
No it won't! I guess Microsoft, Dell, Amazon, Paypal, Wordpress and Intuit have better economists then you are. If they are investing a huge amount in bitcoins then they must be having an idea about every side of it better than you.
*People who will try to ruin it by saying the sole purpose of this post is marketing must know that it is not. My buyers are mostly foreigners and I have better platforms to sell my bitcoins out at really good rates. This is just for those who want to invest their amount in something good but are not due to such a fake news.*
Through freelancing, I am earning a handsome amount, however, I believe I have made a good amount of profit from bitcoin which is enough to keep me engaged in it.
