WHAT IS NEXT : POINT 3 & 4

WHAT IS NEXT POINT 3 & 4
HAZ , FEB 09,2011

Introduction: WHERE WE ARE?

Excellent the Tuesday 8 response to the dirty tactics of Wisner and Suleiman (divide and conquest): 48 hours last the happiness of winning the Sunday faked dialogue. Today’s meeting in Tahrir square has demonstrated that the real winner is the people’s revolution.

An American with a Latino spirit

As a Latino thinker I would say that the spirit of Che Guevara is alive in the current Middle East revolution. In his time he wanted to open one, two, three Vietnams to defeat the imperialist power and in fact it was defeated in Viet Nam, in Congo and in the same US were the civil rights movement break down the wall of racism and exclusion, but at the cost of too many lives. Today, war is business and we cannot defeat the profiteers of this business with old instruments of social change. Egypt is showing the world that instead of armed revolution, pacifist revolution is much more effective in putting down the collapsing empire. Create ten, twenty or more Egiptians revolutions would be Che’s words today.

Americans and the Egyptian revolution

America won’t fall down like Rome invaded and brutalized by Attilas form the East. America is falling down little by little and Egypt is helping, it is maybe the best euthanasia formula for the old crap, one that most American people wanted too. The other American are living in limbo, in self-denial, they do not want to accept the new reality that is emerging in front of their eyes. They are prisoners of the old habit: war mongerism. Perhaps the noise of the other falling wall, the dollar wall, will wake them up.

What this revolution is all about

Instead of a violent war revolution, Egypt is inaugurating a new age of anti-war revolutions. This pacifist and anti-war revolution is not breaking cement walls like in Berlin, is breaking and putting down the ideological walls of hate and other nasty stereotypes spread worldwide by the corporate media against Muslim people. This is what this revolution is all about, they are defeating the so called “anti-terrorist order” that victimized too many innocent people, while at the same time was the source of money for nasty corporations who profit from the destruction of entire nations accused of being terrorists. The internationalization of the “Patriot Act” that wipe out basic constitutional freedoms and rights in America is causing outside the devastating effects we see now in Egypt. This is what Arab revolutions are dealing with. This is why common people in American and the international community is supporting the Egyptian revolution. As in the time of Che Guevara, when the old colonialism fell down, today is falling down the neoliberal–terrorist order supported by big evil financial corporations.

Democracy as dream

America is already falling down because of wrong economic policies they implement and because they are now invaded ideologically by new recycled values –in fact old values- injected with a new spirit and content by people who really believe in them: democracy. Paradoxically but true, it is American media that spread these words. In Egypt they simply re-loaded with a new meaning, a one that best correspond to the word: direct participation and decision making power in political affaires. In the real political life of America, democracy is the most depictable and corrupted affair. Egyptians dream democracy in a different way, and as long as this revolution continues, and more people comes to the squares in Cairo and major cities, more sense of “direct democracy” will come to its meaning and more powerful will be the social change.

The worst: danger of violence

The worst that could happens to this revolution is the contamination of violence. This is why I consider a criminal act to send to Egypt the Frank Wisner team. This is an open provocation -I would say invitation- to violence. They could have sent the Carter’s team or better the Ocha team from the UN, but put in power the VP and sending Wisner-team was the most provocative and stupid thing in the part of the US administration. They were caught by surprise, someone would say, but not much because since the end of 2007 the debate of changing foreign policies and cut expenses in wars abroad was under the spot light on and now with the fiscal insolvency the old war-ism will no work at all. At this point the dropping bombs and drones to intimidate the pacific demonstrations –as some stupid in the corporate media is suggesting- wont work, it will flame the whole region with unpredictable consequences inside and abroad. Meanwhile, the values and dreams of democracy spread by the same American media, will continue be reloaded with direct decision making power .
