Behind the Arab revolt is a word we dare not speak : Comments

By John Pilger, published 25/2/2011

Since 1945, the US has destroyed or subverted more than 50 governments, many of them democracies, and used mass murderers.

What a weird mechanical world you live in, Arjay, where everybody (except you, of course) is either a puppet or a puppeteer. Of course, now that I have written that, I have shown myself to be nothing more than a puppet myself.

Do you really think that the people in Arab countries (and Iran) just sit and wait to be switched on, or programmed, or whatever (i.e. puppets), by non-language-speaking CIA operatives (i.e. puppeteers), as if they can't think for themselves about their condition and the inequality of their societies ?

Have enough respect for people to consider the possibility that they may make up their own minds, come to their own decisions and, in Libya and other countries right now, resolve to die if necessary for justice for their fellow men. These people are making history - are you going to be just a blow-fly who buzzes around and irritates, or are you going to applaud and celebrate their historic achievements ?

No, they are not puppets, no more than I or you are, Arjay.

<Zimbawe needed help 20years ago.>

The problems in Zimbawee are due to incompetent black leaders, They fought for black rule against the minority white population in that country, justly so, but then having attained black leadership proceeded to indulge in tribal civil war. Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo from different tribal blood lines united to fight the British and then turned on each other for control of the country.

Nkomo said as each tribe carried out violent attacks of genocide against the other.

“We fought a war against this (against the British) and now we do the same why, why?"

As I said above, what Pilger and the old hippies fail to acknowledge is that America and the British don’t have a copywrite on this sort of behaviour.

Mugabe also bulldozed the shanty houses of millions of black people living outside one of the main capitals ( I forget which now.) Imagine if the whites had done that, what an uproar and calls of aparthied and discrimination there would have been.

No, the problems in Zimbawe since the British conceded rule have been caused by the black leaders and population themselves so why can’t they fix it. Why is it now again the responsibility of the whites to save them. America and The West are not everybody’s nanny where they can run to when they stuff up and yet spit hate at the rest of the time.

CHERFUL,the real problem is debt created by the Global ruling banking cartels.Poor countries are not allowed to create new money to equal their increases in GDP.If they want new technology they have to borrow from Western Central Banksters that produce absolutely nothing of tangible worth.They are good at counterfeiting everyone else's currency.The USA Fed has created from nothing, $20 trillion in the last 2 yrs bailing out their mates and our banks,thus halving the value of the $ US.Much of this money went into propping up their worthless derivatives instead of liquidity for the real economy in the USA.Our banks by they way are in serious trouble.They have borrowed enormous sums from the US Fed

It is a total criminal scam.Bernanke,Bush,Soros and hundreds of others should be before a court of law facing crimes of fraud and mass murder.

Have a long hard look at the thousands of very high profile people on this site http://patriotsquestion911.com/ Ex Govt presidents also people like Vladmir Putin,hundreds of Professors etc.Why would they put their reputations on the line for a lie?

Live by the lie of denying oppression and you will surely perish by it!

ARJAY<the real problem is created by the Global Banking Cartels>

Well I don’t know too much about the mysterious world of the shady figures behind Global Banking Cartels, it’s a sure bet there’s a lot of
Manipulating going on there to protect some very wealthy hidden agendas.
So knowing not too much about it, I would have to agree with you that they wouldn’t be protecting too many interests except their own.

Is it solely Americans who run these banks though, given that Micheal Moore in his movie on 9/11 pointed out that the Bin Laden family, part of the billionaire Shiek royalty of Sudi Arabia, owns or has big shares in some American Banks. Does the money of Wealthy Chinese businessmen also end up in these global banks. Or the money of most of the billionaires in the world. I don’t really know the answer to this but most filthy rich people and global companies do seem to have their tentacles in every rich pie around the world. Therefore is it solely the Americans holding the poor countries down or just the wealthy of any ethnicity?
.

As for 9/11 what do you say about Osama Bin Laden boasting about masterminding this?
I saw the documentary on the conspiracy theory questions and heard experts speak. Experts and educated people are notorious for having differing views about things. There is a well known historian in New South Wales who denies that the extermination of the Jews ever happened.

I have read people denying the Japanese actually attacked Australia.
I have seen well respected intelligent people falling under the spell of cults.
People bawling their eyes out when the Pope passes by. They don't know the man. From what I see of the human race, there is a lot of dillusional thinking out there, even amongst so-called Intellectuals. It wouldn't surprise me at all if a lot of experts came out in favour of the 9/11 event being an American conspiracy. This is want normally happens when people find events profoundly shocking, they look for a more comforting explanation.

John Pilger should have figured out by now if you want to promote anti US propaganda, you should at least make it credible. His present analysis is bizarre, and more worthy of mirth than serious consideration. It could only appeal to those who have a nuerotic and compulsive need to display what they think is their intellectual and moral superiority.

Pilger's propaganda reminds me very much of the Red Chinese propaganda of the Korean War. The Chinese displayed to the world's press the "confessions" of shot down US Air Force pilots, one of which entitled "HOW MY CRUEL CAPITALIST MASTERS FORCED ME TO COMMIT INHUMAN GERM WARFARE ON PEACE LOVING SOCIALIST KOREAN PEOPLE."

One presumes that the reason that Pilger despises the US is because he actually believed that the "confessions" were true.

Cherful just view the evidence.There is no way that Bin laden and his troglodytes did 911.I've done my homework and met Richard Gage who initiated http://ae911truth.org/ Prof Steven Jones a physicist,Prof Niels Harritt whose team of 9 international scientists have proven the existance of nano-thermite in all 3 buildings.Dr Frank Legge by the way is the Australian member of this team and they are very conservative in their assertions.You can see their work here http://www.journalof911studies.com/
