The scenes coming out of Pakistan are stunning. Violence and civil unrest are spreading through the nation in response to the arrest of the very popular former prime minister Imran Khan after he entered the Islamabad High Court for a hearing in a corruption case. The arrest sent shockwaves throughout Pakistan. It is being seen as an unprecedented political escalation, and it’s threatening to unleash civil war throughout the nation.
Here’s how neighboring India is reporting on it:

The ISI headquarters is talking about the inter-services intelligence center, which is essentially Pakistan’s version of the CIA. This shows that the protestors believe this is a Deep State hit. The backstory to what’s happening here is essential to understand what’s happening here.
The arrest that sparked this uprising involved the former prime minister Imran Khan. Khan was the populist prime minister of Pakistan until a little over a year ago when he was forced out of office by a no-confidence vote. This vote was unprecedented as Khan was very popular. He is a very charismatic personality, he was a very famous athlete and a former cricket captain, and he surged in Pakistani politics as a populist candidate. He was a political outsider whose office mirrored Trump’s in many respects. He rose to the top, became prime minister, and was very popular.
Something seemed to happen behind the scenes. Khan did not follow the US’ ridiculous World War 3-antagonizing antics in Ukraine. Khan was committed to maintaining solid relations with Putin. He insisted on neutrality for Pakistan amid the Russian-Ukraine conflict. He made a state visit to Russia just after the conflict started, and then, all of a sudden, the Pakistani parliament moved to hold a no-confidence vote against Khan and remove him from power. Originally, the parliament’s deputy speaker refused to hold a vote of no-confidence, so the president, who has more of a ceremonial role, suspended parliament and ordered new elections so that the people could decide.
The Pakistani supreme court stepped in and canceled the elections, and instead forced the parliament to go ahead with the no-confidence vote! And Imran Khan did not mince words. He recognized what this vote of no-confidence was; it was nothing less than the US state department doing what it does best, launching regime change initiatives either in the form of color revolutions or in Deep State coups. The Pakistani government is rife with corruption. Just like in the swamp of DC, the establishmentarians didn’t like an outsider coming in and messing things up.
It appears as if they were looking for any opportunity they could to get rid of him. It was interesting that they made their move just after Khan visited Russia. They voted to oust him after several members of his party defected over and voted to remove him. Since then, they’ve been faithful to the playbook that we have seen in our nation. They immediately sought to have him arrested. This just recently happened. They arrested Khan on bribery charges. This move predictably spiraled the nation into chaos which suggests that there are foreign powers who don’t care about the chaos behind this.
The widespread sentiment among supporters of Khan is that this is a US foreign interest invading and dictating their national politics. They are not happy about it. This risks spiraling out of control. The neocons in DC may indeed end up losing influence over Pakistan permanently as a far more populist and nationalist sentiment merely represented but not exhausted by Khan fully takes over Pakistani politics.
