One major objective in Trump’s second term is setting the conditions for the restoration of legitimacy across our weaponized institutions. A necessary step toward legitimacy, however, is a full reckoning of the politically motivated crimes and corruption that took place under the auspices of the DOJ, FBI, DHS, and other national security and law enforcement bureaucracies. We already see major steps in the right direction with the exposure of the Disinformation censorship cartel and its retreat (at least domestically), and similar exposure of the truth about the January 6 Fedsurrection (which Revolver News readers would have been well aware of in advance, though the rest of the world is slowly catching up).

The MAGA fight against the political weaponization of government is not simply a domestic one however, as a curious twist of events has reminded us. Yesterday a Pakistani media outlet aligned with the military establishment in Pakistan rather crudely attacked Ric Grenell, Trump’s former head of DNI who was recently named as a special envoy. Grennell responded boldly by affirming his desire to free Imran Khan, the Trump-aligned former Prime Minister of Pakistan who has been imprisoned by the current corrupt Pakistani government:

Incidentally, it turns out that the Pakistani government aligned media outlet that insulted Ric Grennell actually receives funding from the US government via USAID. “Not anymore” Grenell says:

 

MAGA firebrand Matt Gaetz lent his voice to the discussion, calling for Khan to be freed:

Revolver readers will be familiar with the story of Imran Khan’s unjust imprisonment. In fact, Revolver’s very own Darren Beattie was the last western journalist to have interviewed Prime Minister Khan before, largely thanks to the Biden Administration’s collaboration with Pakistan’s deep state, Khan was imprisoned.

In the interview Beattie laid out the fascinating parallels between Trump and his friend Imran Khan:

Beattie further elaborated that it was none other than Color Revolution architect and arch-neocon Trump nemesis Victoria Nuland who would have signed off on and orchestrated Khan’s ouster (how’s that for election meddling?)

Nuland’s role, not only as a color revolution regime change operative but also as a premier never-Trump force (because Trump refuses war with Russia), was so notorious that Trump himself called out Nuland extensively and by name in one of his all-time greatest policy statements:

For decades, we’ve had the very same people, such as (current Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs) Victoria Nuland and many others just like her obsessed with pushing Ukraine toward NATO, not to mention the State Department support for uprisings in Ukraine.

These people have been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the case in Iraq and other parts of the world. And now, we’re teetering on the brink of World War Three.

Readers can listen to Beattie’s entire interview with Khan here:

The story of the Biden Administration essentially encouraging a color revolution plot to oust the democratically elected Prime Minister Khan is a scandal that hasn’t received sufficient attention. It is also a story of rank hypocrisy. After all, how many times has the Biden Administration falsely accused Russia of meddling in our elections to help Trump? And yet here we have a genuine, egregious, and utterly counterproductive example of direct meddling on the part of the Biden administration. What was Khan’s great offense? Khan had the audacity to go to Russia shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (the trip was entirely pre-planned and in no way constituted an endorsement of the invasion). The true offense is likely much deeper, in that Khan, like Trump, has been a fierce critic of the US war in Iraq, the foreign policy disaster of which Victoria Nuland’s husband Robert Kagan was a chief architect. Readers might remember Robert Kagan for his more recent role at the Washington Post, where his Trump Derangement System stood out even by regime standards, and from whose perch many have suggested he implicitly encouraged (or at least helped to normalize) an assassination attempt on Trump via a tasteless depiction of Julius Caesar. As though his career couldn’t get any more pathetic, Kagan resigned from the Washington Post in disgrace when Jeff Bezos issued the order that the newspaper was not to issue an endorsement of Kamala Harris.

While Khan, like Trump, narrowly escaped multiple assassination attempts, and Khan, like Trump, has been buried in politically motivated indictments, unlike Trump (who has, for now at least, avoided prison), Khan has been wallowing in prison for over a year. We have received reports that Khan’s condition has deteriorated to the point that he is severely malnourished, sickly, and on the verge of death.

Khan’s situation is so egregious that even some Democrats and leftist officials have taken notice and implicitly repudiated the Biden-Harris administration in calling for his release.

One wonders why, in the wake of such overwhelming pressure, the Biden-Harris administration refused  to step in and correct the issue. As we reported in an earlier report on Khan, the reason is more sinister than ever:

f course, the obvious answer to this is that the Biden-Harris administration has been responsible for Khan’s imprisonment via Nuland’s efforts as a Senior State Department official. And yet the fact that even prominent Democrats have expressed severe misgivings about Khan’s imprisonment would seem to provide a certain degree of political cover for Biden-Harris (or whoever is really in charge) to take positive action on Khan’s behalf.

Unfortunately, the reality is even darker and more scandalous than it appears. Despite Khan’s party (PTI) being effectively banned and all of its prominent representatives being imprisoned or worse, PTI and Khan-backed candidates still won overwhelmingly in recent Pakistani elections, to the point that Khan’s party remarkably released an AI representation of Khan delivering a victory speech. Shehbaz Sharif of the corrupt and establishment-backed Sharif family was nonetheless named Prime Minister and continues to rule the nation with the military-intelligence junta behind Khan’s ouster.

Revolver learned via highly placed Pakistani sources that the Biden-Harris regime reached a tacit agreement with the Sharif Administration in Pakistan. Biden-Harris agreed to ignore the illegal imprisonment of Imran Khan, and in exchange, Pakistan agreed to simply greenlight whatever the Biden-Harris administration wants, particularly regarding Ukraine policy. Given the fact that the Ukraine war was the top policy priority of Nuland, it’s hard to imagine that Nuland herself (before resigning her post) didn’t have some direct or indirect hand in this arrangement. 

In light of Trump’s interest in ending the Ukraine war, it is now possible that an American First foreign policy could serve as a basis for a new relationship with Pakistan that appropriately corrects the globalized weaponization of government that resulted in Khan’s imprisonment. Khan’s release would furthermore be a major positive step toward correcting yet another geopolitical blunder of the Biden Administration and win a lot of good will in the Pakistani community, in which Khan is hailed as a great populist leader. The public remarks of Grenell, Gaetz, and others seem to indicate that this happy possibility is closer than ever. We shall see.
