BREAKING THE CODE

  HOW TO RULE THE WORLD

It was the pleasant cool day of 14 September, 2014, that I landed at Kennedy Airport to attend an International conference on Religion & Peace. Leyma GBowee , Nobel Peace prize winner 2012 was the main speaker.

Since I got the visa and ticket in my hand, I started dreaming about exploration of this wonderland, which was discovered incidentally a few centuries before but now surpassing the entire world in all areas of human development.  In spite of the fact that no other country had a wider range of ethnic, cultural and racial types than does the United States.

 As I stepped out of the Airport building and drove to my cousin's house where a welcome dinner was hosted in my honor, as I drove by, I saw a billboard with a picture of a black boy and some writing on it in bold letters, MISSING PERSON. I ignore it and try to focus on the surroundings. A few steps forward I again notice a blinking board with the same writing on it. I again try to ignore that thinking it a routine advertisement from the affected family of that child. Soon we were at the door of my cousin's house. After having a welcome dinner, I became busy on net to explore America, especially New York history and its Landmarks for tomorrow's visit. With the instructions to my host that don't wake me up early morning and to go for work assuring them that I will manage myself to explore the city with my own. As I always feel uncomfortable when there is another person who doesn't have any type of flare to travel with a researcher point of view. So I got up at about 9 AM, took shower and got out of the building to explore the wonderland. As I stepped out of the building, there was a long row of parked cars and every car has a pamphlet fixed inside its vipers. Just with a sense of curiosity I tried to read one of those grabbed papers, I was shocked to see that the same old missing person of last night Mr. Avante Oquendo was staring at me. Now I left no choice except to take this man seriously and make my way to the nearby subway station of Astoria and try to reach the 9/11 spot which shook the whole world specially the Islamic elements of the globe.

 Before I reach the actual place of the incident, I again met this Mr. Avante, which filled me with a sense of surprise and even with a sense of bitterness. After having a bird eye view of the spot I thought it better to visit Columbia University and let them inform me about my participation. Having gone through a series of verifications, I managed to meet the Organizer. She welcomed me with a professional smile, offered me to fill the formal registration form. After having completed all the formalities and to get rid of the monkey of Avante inside my subconscious as early as possible, I straight away asked the Organizer about this highly puzzling situation which is continuously haunting me since my landing. What she said, was a mind blowing for me and enabled me to find the secret code of becoming a dominant state of the world.

She explained that the missing person you are curious about is a child of a black family. He went to school and did not return home that day. Now it is the moral duty of every American to search for this baby and bring him back to his family. For this purpose every possible means are being used to find him out. Different organizations are involved in this sacred mission. Top of them is AMBER alert. She further explained that amber stands for Americas Missing broadcasting Emergency Response. Originally named after Amber Hagman, a nine year old abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas, in 1996.She further explained that in the United States, amber alerts are distributed via commercial and public radio stations, Internet radio satellite and cable TV, the emergency alert system and NOAA weather radio. The alerts are also issued via email, electric traffic -condition signs, commercial electronic billboards. Amber alert has also team up with Google, Bing and Face book.

She continued non stop explaining as if it was her prime duty to satisfy a foreigner about any misconception about her country. She said that other than amber alert there are many volunteer organizations working on this humanitarian mission.

Most active among those is Lost N Missing; a nonprofit charitable organization to assist Law enforcement agencies and the families of the missing person. They never charge any fee for their services and all support members, Board of Directors, Officers and Owner itself are volunteers. So these all services will continue until the accomplishment of their mission. The leaflets you saw are the work of common American citizens, who did this voluntarily as a moral obligation.

After having answered in detail, I got a sigh of relief, said goodbye and headed towards the New York library to find some reference books for my upcoming paper presentation in the conference. The NY library was a treasure full of knowledge and a variety of collections. I spent a few hours in the library, completed my research paper and made my way towards Central Park to relax.

Central Park is commonly known as the lungs of New York due to its heavy plantation and rich vegetation. I sat on a wooden bench recalling the words of the conference coordinator and was thinking about my own country, Pakistan, where hundreds of missing persons are still in the missing category since years and are waiting for any AMBER to come for their rescue. Even killing of innocent peoples is not a big deal.

Hardly a week passed that I got a telephonic message from the same Conference woman with the wording, Congratulation America, Baby is found. An atomic explosion hit my mind and I cried with an immense feeling of joy, EUREKA.

This was what I was aiming for. I found the key to become a respectable super state in this world and the key was in my hand within a week after my landing.

Suddenly at this moment I got a flashback of the Abu Bin Adam story which I read when I was in 8th class. In that story Abu Bin Adam was sleeping and in his dream, he heard a voice on his castle roof. He asked who he is, a voice came that I am an Angel of God. What you are doing here in my castle, I am writing the names of those whom God loves the most. Adam asked, is my name there? The angel replied, no. Abu ben Adam replied, it is ok, but you please write my name among those who love his human beings. The angel disappeared after hearing this from Adam. A few days later, the same dream was repeated again. Angel was asked the same question about his write up. He replied the same that I am writing the names of most liked persons of God. Adam asked, Do this list have my name''The Angel replied, you are on the TOP Adam.

A simple rule of the divine forces is this that God love those who care for his human beings. How a nation who has exerted all his energies and get united for the sake of a black baby, recovered him, made his family smile and bring them to life cannot be rewarded with his special blessings. Since when you qualify for the Gods blessings, then there are no earthly forces that can restrict you to become a respectable dominant state in the world. This is the secret code and the law of nature i.e. who care his creature, get care by divine forces of nature.
