OBAMA’S
DOUBLE DISCOURSE: TALKING PEACE WHILE MAKING WAR
At his 2009 inauguration, Barak
Obama proclaimed, “We are going to have to take a new approach with a new
emphasis on respect and a new willingness to talk.” And then he proceeded to
launch more wars, armed interventions, clandestine operations and assassination
campaigns in more countries than any US President in the last fifty years.
OBAMA’S RECORD OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS READS:
(1) Continued war, slaughter and
military bases in Iraq.
(2) A 40,000 plus US “troop surge”
in Afghanistan
(3) An unprovoked assault against
Libya, devastating the country, reducing oil production by 90%, throwing
millions into chaos and poverty. and allowing a multitude of terrorist groups
to divide the country and distribute its huge arsenal of weapons.
(4) Over 400 un-manned aerial drone
attacks, murdering over 4,000 civilians in Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan and
Somalia.
(5) Cross-border ground and air
attacks in Pakistan and counter-insurgency warfare that forcing over 1.5
million refugees to flee the war zones.
(6) The arming and financing of
‘African Union’ mercenaries to invade and occupy Somalia, sending hundreds of
thousands of Somalis into refugee camps.
(7) Unconditional support for
Israel, including the ‘sale’ of advanced weapons and an annual $3 billion dollars
‘aid’ package to a racist regime intent on more land grabs in the occupied West
Bank and East Jerusalem, as well as the displacing, killing, arresting and
torturing of thousands of Palestinians and Bedouins.
(8) The sending of the US Naval
armada to the Persian Gulf while imposing even more brutal economic sanctions
drafted by Israeli-Firsters in order to strangle the Iranian economy and starve
its over 70 million citizens into submission.
(9) Maintaining the notorious
Guantanamo torture camp where hundreds of prisoners languish without trail
(despite early promises to close it).
(10) Arming and training Islamist
terrorists and ‘pro-Western’ mercenaries to invade Syria, killing over 100,000
Syrians and driving over one million refugees from their homes. Obama’s plans
to bomb Syria are on hold, as of October 2013, thanks to Russian President
Putin’s peace initiative.
(11) Engaging in grotesque global
cyber-spying and the massive theft of highly confidential military, economic
and political communications within allied nations (from Germany to Brazil) at
the highest levels.
(12) Unleashing a violent
destabilization campaign in democratic Venezuela, following the defeat of the
US candidate; Obama was the only leader in the world to refuse to recognize the
election.
Altogether, Obama’s five years in
office have been marked by his relentless pursuit of imperial power through
arms and domination; This has come at enormous economic cost to the American
people in the form of huge fiscal deficits and significant overseas and
domestic political losses.
As a result, Obama’s rising tide of
militarism has had the opposite effect of provoking a countercurrent of peace
initiatives to challenge the assumptions and prerogatives of the war-mongers in
the White House. The dynamics of this immense clash between the global war and
peace forces will be played out in the next several months.
CONCLUSION:
WORLD PEACE OR ZIONIST WAR ?
Recent political and diplomatic
changes provide the world community with a measure of optimism regarding the
prospects for peace. Under intense pressure from US public opinion, Obama
temporarily went along with Russian President Putin’s diplomatic approach over
chemical weapons in Syria.
The UN General Assembly’s favorable
response to Iranian President Rohani’s call for dialogue has compelled Obama to
openly consider direct negotiations with Teheran over its nuclear program.
World public opinion, favorable
interlocutors in Iran, bold diplomatic initiatives from Russia, and cooperative
behavior from Damascus, all events pointing to a peaceful resolution of current
Middle East conflicts, face a formidable enemy embedded in the very centers of
power in the United States, the ZPC, which acts on behalf of the
ultra-militarist Israeli state.
Over the years, the ZPC has
successfully pushed for crippling sanctions and wars against a number of
Israel’s regional opponents. Leading Zionists in the Bush regime fabricated the
myth of Saddam Hussein’s ‘weapons of mass destruction’ leading the US to
invade, occupy and destroy Iraq, despite massive opposition from the US public
on the eve of the invasion. Zionists in US Treasury and in the White House
slapped broad economic sanctions on Iraq, Iran and Syria - preventing the
biggest US oil companies from investing and trading with these resource-rich
nations, which cost ‘Big Oil’ close to $500 billion in lost revenues. An
empirical study of congressional committees, legislative debates, resolutions
and voting behavior demonstrates that the ZPC co-authored the sanction
legislation and administrators, linked to the ZPC, implemented the measures.
The popular notion that ‘Big Oil’
was responsible for these wars and sanctions, as part of some scheme to take
over the oil production facilities of Iraq and Iran, lacks empirical basis. The
ZPC defeated ‘Big Oil’: Exon, Mobil and Chevron were no match for the ZPC when
it came to penetrating Congress, authoring legislation, mobilizing billionaires
to fund Congressional campaigns, organizing thousands of zealous militants or
influencing the mass media - including the Wall Street Journal. The governments
of billions of poor people in Africa, Asia and Latin America can only dream of
the annual $3 billion dollar tribute that the ZPC secures for Israel from the
American tax-payers for the past 30-plus years.
The UN Security Council and its
Human Rights Commission are powerless to sanction Israel for its war crimes
because the ZPC guarantees a US veto of any resolution. Despite the opposition
of the entire Muslim world, the ZPC ensures that Washington will continue to
support Israel’s colonial expansion and land grabs in the occupied Palestinian
territory, and its bombing of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Sudan. In other
words, the ZPC has successfully undermined the interests of the biggest US
multi-national corporations, the position of the UN Security Council and the
needs of billions of poor in the Third World. The ZPC induces the US to start
prolonged brutal wars costing the US economy over a trillion dollars and
totally destroying six sovereign countries (Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan,
Yemen and Somalia). Today Israel and the ZPC set the terms for US-Iran
negotiations - dooming them to failure. The mass media echo Netanyahu’s
scurrilous (and infantile) characterization of President Rohani as
‘untrustworthy’, and a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’. And US Secretary of State
John Kerry parrots Netanyahu’s lies about Iran’s nuclear arms program. Shortly
after his talk with Rohani, US President Obama dutifully made his report of the
entire conversation to Netanyahu – seeking Israel’s approval. Obama then met
with his Israeli ‘handlers’ and pledged fealty to the interests of Israel,
bleating out that ‘military option (to attack Iran) is still on the table’. For
the one hundred and ninety-first time (over the past year) President Obama
pledged the US’ unconditional support to defend Israel. Like a broken record (or
broken political hack), Obama repeated that “Israel must (sic) reserve the
right to take military action against Iran it if feels threatened by Iran”.
The Zionist propaganda apparatus has
set the terms for the US government with regard to Iran. Tel Aviv orders and
the ZPC demands that Obama ‘negotiate’ under Israeli terms. Iran, the ZPC
insists, must provide detailed information on its military bases and defenses,
end its legal enrichment of uranium for civilian use, turn over its existing
stockpiles, end the production of plutonium at the Arak facility, dismantle the
underground research facilities at Fordow and cease the conversion of first
generation centrifuges to more efficient second generation ones.
President Obama might then permit
the Iranians to enrich uranium to about 3.5 percent, operate a few primitive
centrifuges and maintain a tiny stock of enriched uranium – for medical
purposes…. These are condition which Israel and the ZPC know that no free and
independent country or national leader would ever accept. The Zionists seek to
sabotage diplomacy in order to push the US into another Gulf war which they
believe will establish Israel as the un-challenged regional hegemon.
It is essential for the peace camp
in the United States to expose the role of the ZPC in dictating the US
negotiating terms with Iran and publicly repudiate its control over the US
Congress and the White House. Otherwise the majority of Americans who favor
peace and diplomacy will have no influence in shaping US-Iran relations. The
problem is that the majority of anti-war Americans and the international
community cannot match the billionaire Jewish Zionists in buying and
controlling the members of the US Congress. AIPAC has no rival among
Christians, Muslims or even anti-Zionist Jews. The pro- peace Pope Francis from
his pulpit in the Vatican cannot match the power of the Presidents of the 52
Major Jewish American Organizations whose militants can literally “storm
Washington” and push the US into war!
Until the 99% of non-Zionist Americans
(off all ethnicities and persuasions) organize as a coherent force to push back
the tiny 1% - Israel’s Fifth Column - all the hopes for peace wakened by
President Putin initiative on Syria and President Rohani’s diplomatic opening
at the United Nation, will collapse. Worse, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
will again lead an American President, Obama, by the nose, from sabotaged
diplomacy into another costly Gulf War, one in which thousands of US soldiers
(not a single Zionist among them) and tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of
Iranians will perish!
