New Nazis

(13) Arab Police States.

While western propaganda advertises some Arab leaders and their governments as true US allies, tehy are in fact clones of Nazis and Hitler. Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, cordially entertained by both Bush I and Bush II at Camp David, would sell his mother to buy arms to join a US attack on Iraq. Abdel Gamal Nasser must have been turning in his grave. Mubarak proclaims that those who carry out terrorist acts have no claim to human rights. All fascist dictators say those things. The president of Egypt knows only too well, that the day will come when he too will be hanged for treason. According to The Economist (February 2, 2002) at least 20.000 people are detained in Egypt without trial. Mubarak is the kind of traitor who like Bush calls for a global crackdown on fellow Muslims in order to prolong his fascist rule as long as possible.

Egypt is fast approaching 70 million inhabitants. With a growth rate just fewer than 2 percent annually, overpopulation is a real problem. At the same time the al-Hazar mosque and university in the center of Cairo, a city of 12 million, are still forming the most conservative bastion of Islam in Egypt (Newsweek, March 19, 2002). Many jihadis - or disciples of the holy struggle - are more interested in first overthrowing local corrupt tyrants, or US puppet regimes. This is for them a priority of life and death between the weak and the evil and strong. The Washington Gang of Four seems totally blind as to what millions of Muslims consider the real Axis of Evil.

Why did a shy doctor from Cairo, Ayman al-Zawahari, turn to Al Queda and join Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan? Why did he loose all hope for Egypt, or for a change in regime from within? Mubarak is kept afloat by billions of US dollars. The people of Egypt hate his police methods, his jails and his silent executions. They despise the man for selling them out to Washington. They are powerless to change their fate, like billions of others in the Afro-Asian developing world. Only half a century ago they were all still subjugated under the joke of colonialism. They were merely surviving in overseas possessions of the rich northern half of the world. They have been kept for centuries by the West under Nazi types of occupation. They at last find themselves in the first stages of nation building but do not have the resources or the financial means to liberate themselves from the continuing neo-Nazi chains of the G-8.

The haves of the world continue to control the deprived, which are kept in line through indebtedness to the US dollar. Or, through institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank. This unscrupulous debt device and the so-called new wave of globalization are the 21^st century instruments by which western imperialism continues to strangle the poor in this world. The destitute are being kept in line through billions of dollars in debt, which they will never ever be able to pay back. Add to this disguised continuation of colonial exploitation by other means, the standard practice of installing US Quisling regimes, that dance to the tune of Washington. Then an accurate picture of what really is going on in the 21^st century emerges. That is why there is an Al Queda. This underground Muslim resistance reflects, what billions of abandoned and weaponless masses feel in this world. That's why there are suicide bombers. Their ultimate sacrifices are seen as a disgrace to modern civilization. But they do, what we did during Hitler's occupation of the Netherlands. Except they are possessed by a deeper religious faith than we held. The heroic Muslims of the Al Aqsa Martyr Brigades are infinitely more courageous than we were. At last, Muslims are counterattacking because payback time has finally arrived.

For nitwit George Bush, modern history starts on that fateful day of 09-11. While innocent Americans were minding their business, all of a sudden, as lightening striking from the sky, they came under attack. Why? We have always behaved as perfect gentlemen in world affairs are ‘Ugly Americans’ reassuring themselves. Yes, we did install through CIA coupmethods some nasty fascist dictators in Indonesia, Congo and Chili and perhaps some other countries. That was bad. Henry Kissinger misled us in saying Augusto Pinochet was a fine man. But we truly believed we were doing it for their own good. We did assassinate numerous leaders we did not like. But don't compare us to Hitler, please. He was a diehard Nazi. We are not. We are different. We are true patriots. Hitler massacred Jews. We slaughtered millions Asians for their own good. Imagine if Southeast Asia had gone communist. And then, all the billions we have poured into these ungrateful nations over the years. Perhaps we did keep some foreign Nazis in power. And, yes, we urged some of them on to do some killing of their own. We supplied them with lists whose throats should be cut first. We might have collaborated with a mass killer as Suharto in Indonesia, true. But also think of the prosperity he delivered to America by selling out his nation's natural resources against bargain prices. Yes, too bad for the Indonesian masses that saw the Suharto family become billionaires. Did Bill Clinton not describe Suharto as ‘our boy’? Of course we looked the other way on Suharto's human rights record. He deserved to become a billionaire at the expense of his people. That is common Wall Street business practice. He was aiding our multi-nationals and helping to raise the US stand-

ard of living to new heights. He also liquidated thousands of communists and kept Moscow and Beijing influences to a minimum. Plenty of sound business reasons to channel billions Suharto's way.

Yes, Ferdinand Marcos used to be our friend. And yes, he robbed the people of more than 10 billion dollars. He enriched himself, but he enriched us too. So we played even. Yes, the CIA installed colonel Mobutu in Congo, and yes, he too robbed his people of billions. But we needed the Congo's resources, therefore his stealing from the people turned us into profitable partners. We needed the raw materials for the military industrial complex. Remember, Hitler would have never gotten as far as he did without I.G. Farben, Krupp, Messerschmidt, Bayer, Hoechst etcetera.

We have got to work with Saudi princes and other royal clowns, because it's the only way to get the energy we need. True our banks profit too from doing business with our worldwide network of robber barons. American imperialists repeat all the old tricks of the 19^th and 20^th century European colonialists with the consequent backlashes for the masses in the impoverished third and fourth worlds.

Since 1945, Washington pretends that it supports one man one vote for every man and woman on earth. Except for elections that would favor leftist or socialist regimes. When Chili elected Salvador Allende, the CIA (and Henry Kissinger) was instrumental to have him removed and shot. Another exception formed the energy rich Middle East. It would be inconceivable that Washington would encourage a popular vote to be held in the present collection of Arab police states and royal dictatorships, thus endangering a steady flow of black gold to the West from this the region. The hunt for oil is a shocking hypocritical and in the end self-defeating con game. The Bush II White House seems bent on improving the scores. Yet, the US XXL-size Gulliver is bound to collapse. It's only a matter of time.
