Panic is not the solution

An interesting thing here is that Chinese technology is based on reverse engineering, the parts which China gets hold of over the course of time become a source of study material, and the Chinese beside using them also explored the mechanics and later made their own. For example, a certain type of batteries-import for industrial usage simultaneously provides the open field to reconstruct it. I am not an engineer so my opinion about that does not hold weight, but my opinion does hold weight in another kind of engineering commonly known as political engineering.

I am blessed and cursed at the same time for witnessing one of the kinds in my life, before I explain the form and attributes of that engineering let me give a preamble for its logical requirement.  Pakistan is a so-called democracy, every now and then we suffer from an electoral process where political manoeuvring based on wealth, prestige, cast, and kinship is being done. The notion of “Democracy for the people by the people” is a farce for us, it is farcical for the first world even, but their reasons are more capitalistic rather than a social hierarchy based on which womb and by whom you have been conceived to grace the world. In Pakistan; the political system is inherently dysfunctional but to get the good grace of more humane nations, that is richer and more powerful, we must orchestrate this political symphony which is highly unpleasant, cost-effective, and useless.

Now if democracy is corrupt and hence dysfunctional then how has this country been functioning for seven decades? It is functioning on auto-mode by judiciary, bureaucracy, and military. These three pillars silently support the fourth pillar, the “democratically elected government” and. Political change apparently does not affect them.

Now the manufacturing unit was abandoned by the engineers and there is chaos in the country. I am saying not to abandon the manufacturing unit, and use it for reverse engineering. Panic is not the solution, admit, repent, and move on.

This has been done smoothly and systematically until a few politicians got the itch of having democracy in true form, but with their own definition of it, in which they somehow got this mystic revelation that they too are capable of running a country.

This gives integral responsibility for those actually running the country to abruptly devise a plan B. This was to construct a manufacturing unit and make a political leader. The available raw material was socially awkward, with dysfunctional family life, no work experience, never got a paycheck, never spent from his own pocket, self-obsessed, fame-hungry, self-righteous, and self-indulgent. If I would have been part of that manufacturing team my profiling would have never come to any logical conclusion of him as a raw form.

The plan was to give an alternate 1; to shut down the ambitious politicians and 2; to keep the country functional. If nonsensical ambitious ungrateful politicians would have sensed the pulse they would have withdrawn all their ambitions. In the “political leader manufacturing plant” all resources were funnelled toward a defamation campaign against all others and one person was crafted as a saviour of all, the future of Pakistan, a symbol of changing a hope for a new Pakistan, etc.

As the manufacturing plant was run by the most prestigious and experienced engineers, there was no margin for anything less than perfection. Engineers are deployed to it. Hundreds were assigned to prove the product already in the market was flawed, and tons of resources were pushed into a fleet of unemployed youth to sit on the computer and abuse and abuse with full strength and spare no one who dares to question the product. Factory-made media experts, best known as “Paratroopers” under the guise of journalists were launched with technical/tactical support and were told to discard all old norms, and formulate new norms, where cursing, slurring, puns, and even dirty jokes became normal on family TV channels. They were spoon-fed with information that must not be made public, and invited to high-end meetings. As a result, their credibility was established as seasoned journalists.

Brain-washed, mission-oriented engineers spend day and night accomplishing the goal of introducing the first-ever factory-made political leader and later prime minister. Mission accomplished, target achieved, the narrative got sold, the public got convinced change was coming, our messiah is ready to resurrect us from our sufferings.

I and a few others got anxious from the very beginning and wrote, many articles foretelling every event. The raw material is rotten, the course of actions in acquiring the finished product will be undoable, the so-called narrative constructor will turn into a slur brigade and your final product will do the kind of damage to you that you cannot imagine in your wildest dreams. But who cares, I am sure no engineer ever read what I and a few others are yelling for the past three years.

Now the manufacturing unit was abandoned by the engineers and there is chaos in the country. I am saying not to abandon the manufacturing unit, and use it for reverse engineering. Panic is not the solution, admit, repent, and move on.

All those brainwashed engineers are still positioned at the same key places; convince them it was a task, not a life philosophy, they are still working on the same programmed default mode, they are operating with the same mindset, and not convinced with what should be done. Debrief them, redeploy them and reprogramme them. If you think your engineering has just surface effect and will fade away with time, no it will not, your engineers are angry, your paratrooper journalists feel betrayed. Use the same factory to reverse your engineering with the same zeal, the same tactical level, the same budget, and break what you have created.

Admit your product was destructive and must not be left in the open, then reshuffle the key narrative building posts bringing those ones not working on the old format who somehow escaped the virus, identify social media irritants and deal with them by checking the source of their income, if the factory is not paying them who is? And renegotiate with political parties to co-exist for their own and for this country’s sake.

My message for the chief engineer is candid but honest: Please trust the voices who do not care for any material gains. You can find patriots even outside your factory.
