Egypt, the US and Israel - US must do better : Comments

By Kevin Boreham, published 14/2/2011

This US administration shapes up poorly compared to earlier ones when it comes to the middle east.

The US should keep its sticky little fingers out of the area. The countries of the world have survived very well for centuries without American hegemony which, if transferred into 21st century terms is nothing but terrorism, pure and simple, because it is all they now know.

Countries do not appreciate military threats and economic blackmail any more and this is shown by Egypt this weekend. As well, the many countries in South America who have shed their force-fed ideas of US ‘democracy’, a total fiction, are now looking to real home style democracy.

It may have shortcomings but it will be independent. They may make some mistakes but whatever happens, the mistakes will be theirs, not forced on them by the disgraced CIA as the sorcerer or the evil sorcerers apprentice, Israel, the most disliked country, not just in the middle east, but in the world and rightly so. It thumbs its nose at the UN and with the US veto, UN resolutions can be dismissed out of hand and totally ignored, adding to the sense of power they wield over the world’s superpower, (?) a country now financially and morally bankrupt.

So if America was capable of applying rational thought to this newly emerging democracy, currently under military rule, temporarily, they would try and recover some of their universally lost respect by shedding the evil Israeli connection, being a friend not a bully to countries, if they can remember how that used to be. By not forcing policy on Egypt, not making them subservient to the almighty aid dollar, (that is, aid to the US only) and then discontinuing their on-going destabilisation program, probably already on the tenth iteration in the halls of the White House

I fear for Egypt’s ability to avoid the traps of all countries that come under the ‘spell’ of the United States of America, now a shell of what it was for the first 150 years. How could one not have been impressed with US achievements until then.

Sadly, not any more.

Some predictions:

Whatever happens in Egypt in the next few weeks or months, a DECADE hence:

--The bulk of the Egyptian people will be even poorer and more desperate than they are today

--Egypt will not be democratic in any real sense of the word

--Egyptians will still be blaming the Americans, the Israelis, the Jews, somebody, for their multiple pathologies

--Most Copts will have fled the country

Anyone want to lay any bets

Why to discuss issue of politics and something about democracy? The things are plain and easy. What is happening around the world is robbery at gun point. Nothing more, nothing less. Step by step and in spiralling course of business.
What is recently taken from the Egypt is 40bn (!) of assets of Hosni. Apparently he was richer then Bill Gates.
What someone wants from Lybia is of course the oil, but cash is also needed and thus Gadhafi's assets for 30bn also frozen. Who is going to know to whom those money gone and who will get access to that cash power? I have doubt about further information about money making its way and who has count them anyway?
In Afganistan it, of course, nanrcotics plantation and enormous business & power of it and lithium for this sentury communication devices.
Oil and contracts on it has gone to someone in Iraq.
That can be seeing that deployed troop would be secure for someone to make business where that wanted.
My apology for not taking seriously fountain of the words about democracy that costs nothing to give to the wind. And after the public is hipnothised with sounds about good guys, one can make real money. How can anyone believe that Bob spent trillions to make charity injection for some type of democracy? Hello!
