Modern Day Crusaders: The Ashkenazi Spearhead (April 26, 2009)
First, a brief ancient history for context:
The many waves of Crusading forces assembled in Medieval Europe with the avowed purpose of recapturing the Holy City of Jerusalem from the hands of the Muslim “Infidels” were mainly of trading nature: they were meant of securing the spice and perfume routes of India and the Far east Asia via Egypt.
The Crusaders failed to capture Egypt and the objective of investing money in order to securing cheaper spices and perfumes that were transported by land routes through Iran and Turkey did not generate any return and the campaigns stopped.
The maritime crusading campaigns restarted in the 17th centuries by Portugal and Spain.
India and the Far Eastern Asian sources of spices, perfume, and gold were colonized and maritime stronghold ports were established around Africa, India, Yemen, and the Persian/Arabia Sea. The British recaptured most of these colonies and “trading comptoirs” and secured the direct administration of Egypt.
Slightly Modern history:
Britain, France, and Russia realized that it is too costly to colonize the former empires of Iran and Turkey for no major returns since raw materials could be obtained relatively cheaply by maritime routes.
Their best strategy was to weaken these nations and nibble on their neighboring regions.
Russia got interested on the Caucasus triangle of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia.
France was interested in Syria and Lebanon.
Britain got mandate over Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine. And then oil was discovered in abundance in this region starting in southern Iran around 1906.
The First World War used mechanized troops; diesel engines were substituted to vapor engines as mechanical workhorse for industries. The USA got in the fray since 1920 for oil explorations in the Arabic peninsula and exhibited its colonial ambitions by conquering Cuba and the Philippines from Spain.
Modern history:
Britain enticed the Hashemite king of Mecca, supposedly from the same tribe of the Prophet Muhammad, to support the war effort against the Moslem Ottoman Empire. Britain quickly realized that the Near Eastern population would not mind a “nominal” nomadic king from Mecca but they were too independent and urban to relinquish their desires for autonomy.
Consequently, Britain and France decided that it would be too risky to allow the Near Eastern people to unite under a vital and critical Nation.
The alternative was found by using the Zionist movement as a spearhead to disrupting any unification in the region. The British Foreign Affairs Balfour issued in 1917 a declaration of intent favorable to the settlement of the Zionist movement in Palestine.
In the same year, Britain and France decided to split their mandates over the Near East.
Consequently, the Ashkenazi “Jews” of Central Europe, were encouraged to build agricultural colonies in Palestine in order to establish a “Jewish Homeland” with avowed purpose of re-capturing the Jewish Holy City of Jerusalem.
The modern crusade of the western nations is cloaked in Jewish biblical claims to destabilize this strategic region.
Since 1920, the Ashkenazi Jews were directed by International Zionism to buy and settle Palestine and it was supported by the European governments of Britain and France.
The beginning of Nazi Germany persecutions of Jews in 1933 encouraged the European nations to transfer the Jews to Palestine in order not to alienate Nazi Germany and succumb to its demands for repatriation of the Ashkenazi “Jews” into concentration camps.
It does not mean that the plan to establishing a “Homeland” for the Ashkenazi Jews was inevitable or that the people in the Near East were not aware of the plan and its existential danger. The main troubles were:
First, this region had no credible institutions and lacked unified organizations to counter politically this harrowing plan;
Second, the surrounding empires of Turkey, Iran, and Egypt were struggling for survival and had no immediate interests in their backyard; and
Third, the mandate superpowers of Britain and France controlled and managed the region and its policies.
The people in the Near East are aware that the State of Israel is a western implant of the same kind of crusaders campaigns in the first millennia.
The Zionist ideology prevented the leadership in Israel in alleviating and changing this perception for over 60 years. There are indications that the USA and Europe comprehend that the game is over and are drawing plans for the counter immigration of the Ashkenazi to their original homelands.
The Sephardic Jews have practically nowhere to go and they will manage to integrate Palestine as they did for thousand of years.
It would be beneficial for the western nations to change their policies of “divide to dominate” in the Near East and start negotiating with the national resistance forces, even if they offer the image of religious resistance forces, because this is the most potent factor when secular conditions are weak.
The western nations need to negotiate with all resistances forces in the region as national resistance to a foreign implant so that the new emerging nation does not fall to the extremist conservative religious ideologies.
This is a long term fight of 20 years and the secular democratic forces in the Near East need to have an opportunity for a fighting chance.
Note: I am perfectly aware that many would use the dismissive “anti-semitism” cliché in emulation of the lazy media approach to hot issues. It is interesting to realize that effective and valuable communication is based on personal reflection with rational thinking as guiding rod.
Hot spots: border pretexts
Posted December 15, 2008
on:Hot spots: border pretexts (December 15, 2008)
There are many hot spots around the world where borders delimitations are not negotiated. The hottest spots are located on the northern borders with India such as China, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh; then you have the Middle East and then Africa. Thousands of frontiers are imaginary lines drawn in deserts (in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere) by the colonial powers of the last century and these colonial powers expect the newly created under-developed States to monitor thousands of imaginary lines. Almost all wars had frontiers as excuses when in fact the causes were basically cultural myths and expansionist policies. France and Britain are responsible for drawing 40% of world frontiers. If we add the other European colonial powers of Italy in the 20th century for the borders in Libya, Ethiopia and Somalia, and the colonial powers of Portugal and Spain in the 17th century in Latin America then we realize that Europe was the main culprit for all the current border strife around the world.
Before I develop further let me propose the following general criteria for the Trade Zones along common borders between States, regardless of how the superpowers view frontiers from a political, economic, cultural, or strategic perspectives for domination.
First, the width of the band to be proportional to the land mass of the States.
Second, the budget allocated by States to the administration of the zone to be proportional to the GNP of the respective States.
Third, the number of members in the administrative council to be constituted of equal memberships.
Fourth, The number of citizens enjoying special status in the zone to be of equal numbers.
Fifth, the proceeds of the raw materials discovered in the zone to be split equally.
Sixth, the states proceeds on taxes or other forms of State returns to be divided proportionally to the budget allocated by each State.
I have discussed the hot spots in the Middle East in my article “Trade-Zones in the Middle East” and suggested the most plausible areas that would reduce greatly border tensions. Since my previous article on frontiers didn’t generate any readers then it is legitimate that I recopy part of it. The World is divided by 250,000 kms of frontiers. Since 1991, more than 26,000 kms of new international frontiers have been instituted; a total of 42,000 kms have been delimited by makeshift barriers, electronic fences and the like.
There are oil rich States that invested billions of dollars to set fictive barriers on the sand; for example, Kuwait had spent $30 billion for 217 kms barriers over sand with Iraq. Saudi Arabia spent over $100 billions on barriers over sand to delimit frontiers with Iraq. We were all wondering what these oil rich states are doing with their treasures.
The stupidest barrier (over 8 meter high and 800 km long) ever erected is built by the State of Israel to separate the Jews from the Palestinians. The Ashkenazi Jews (Jews who immigrated from Central and Eastern Europe) are the ones who came with the idea during Sharon tenure. For centuries, the Ashkenazi Jews lived in ghettos in Europe and their psychic feels comfortable in a ghetto setting; they don’t care for open horizons or open skies; they need claustrophobic enclosures. I ask the Sephardic Jews (Jews who emigrated from the Middle East and North African States to the State of Israel) to tear down that wall of shame; I tell them “you are not from the same breed or same culture of the warp minded Ashkenazi”.
