How Pakistan’s First Female Leader Allegedly Stole 1.5 Billion Dollars | The Big Steal

The Bhuttos are amongst a few hundred feudal families, mostly large landowners, that have dominated politics and business in Pakistan since its creation in 1947. In the eyes of the west, Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto was a beacon of democracy and a staunch foe of Muslim extremism, but at home, the slain opposition leader was a controversial figure, mired in allegations of corruption and accused of acquiring wealth, worth over 1.5 billion dollars.

When I was in Pakistan on official business in the early 80's, one of the US Embassy Officers told me that the Pakistani Government took a 50% cut of all the aid going to the Afghan Insurgents. The whole country is a cesspool of grift and corruption. The major reason the country is out of funds today is that most of the aid that Pakistan received from the US and others went into the pockets of government officials to pay for their children's tuition in foreign universities and nice retirement properties. The best solution is for the workers to rise-up and start from Day Zero.

Making the whole new generation of the same old colonial mindset that's gonna enslave the poor people and think of themselves as superior to the poor working class. At first, they were spreading propaganda through the newspaper now each one of them owns their personal news channels, and guess what comes free with the news channels, journalist dogs who work day and night 24/7 to convince the gullible people of Pakistan that their leaders are saints and holy and are sent down by the god almighty himself to rule y'all illiterate f**ks, I hate every politician in my country including the founding fathers because if they took the lands of all these degenerate basterds in the first year of the making of this country, I would not be wasting my time writing this long ass comment. Now at present, there are more than five thousand families sitting on the weak and poor backs of the hard working Pakistani people having assets of more than trillions of dollars in the tax heavens and in all the world capitals, and this Bhutto family alone, which is mentioned in this video has an astronomical amount of land in Sindh and owns assets all around the world comprising of hundreds of billions of dollars whilst the country is shortly going to be blacklisted because of the mere hundred billion dollar loan which again was taken by these same sons of the ditches. Everyone is looting their fair share whether it's the Army, the Politicians, or the Beurocrates. the main culprits are the Army generals because politicians are their bitches if you don't believe this look at the current political situation in Pakistan now I know what you all are thinking what's the solution to all this cluster fu*k just start buying them guns whether you have to sell your organs and do a revolt or leave this shitty country because no common man can even think of becoming a local councilor without spending a million dollars on his election campaign let alone being the prime minister or the president, any person who's gonna spend a billion f**ing dollars on his presidential campaign, serving the nation is gonna be the least of his priorities, now, that's Democracy and Capitalism in the third world 101 for y'all, patriot folks.

Interestingly, Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto were rivals back in the '90s and accused each other of corruption. You can find speeches and بیانات of both leaders calling each other out for destabilizing the country. After Benazir's death, her husband kept calling out Sharif brothers for their alleged crimes against Pakistan while Sharif brothers criticized him for his alleged corruption. Today, all of them have formed a collective government under the banner of PDM. Zardari's son Bilawal serves as the Foreign Minister under the younger Sharif. This country has become a cesspool of hypocrisy!

[@faisalrizvi2876]

Bilawal used to describe both Imran Khan and Nawaz Sharif as "selected" Prime Ministers and Benazir's husband used to claim that Sharif brothers attempted to murder him twice. The same goes for Imran Khan who called Pervez Elahi "Punjab's biggest robber" and then made him the Chief Minister of the same province again.
