This
article is the Preamble to my paper Palestine: The Struggle
Forward, which can be read here
[1]. That paper looked at the battle of two fundamentalisms,
between indoctrination borne of self-interests on the one hand, and
the sense of fairness and justice among those in mankind who share a
common moral compass regardless of their race, cast, color, or creed,
on the other. A moral compass which is straightforwardly
based on the Biblical Golden Rule “Do unto others as you have
others do unto you”, and is one which is innately recognized by
all ordinary sentient humanity as the touchstone of moral
commonsense. It is the primal differentiator which separates us from
animals without their capacity for abstract thought. Even the most
heinous of criminals among mankind, do not
fail to recognize the applicability of this Golden Rule to their
ownselves in their godfather's quest for primacy. Their
exercise of hegemony is not based on not having the moral
commonsense, but rather, despite knowing it all too well, being
flushed with the unassailable hubris natural to the distemper of
absolute power, getting away with it – as demonstrated in this
famous proclamation of Adolf Hitler, reported by William Shirer, the
American war correspondent in Berlin, in his diary on the eve of
World War II:
“Hitler
knew the answer well. Had he not the week before on his Bavarian
mountaintop promised the generals that he would 'give a
propagandist reason for starting the war' and admonished them not to
'mind whether it was plausible or not'? 'The victor', he had told
them, 'will not be asked afterward whether he told the truth or
not. In starting and waging a war it is not the right that matters,
but victory.'”
The
Struggle Forward argues that the only rational way to carry the
struggle for Palestine forward is in a strategic division of labor.
Those on ground zero having no choice in the matter, to continue-on
with waging that battle of their lives by the existential necessity
of survival against the incessant onslaughts of the indoctrinated
political robots and trigger-pulling foot-soldiers of Zionism
exercising their fanatical jihad for Jewish
Lebensraum. Those in the Diaspora having
all the choice and freedom of action in the comforts of the West,
rather than waste their time bemoaning Al Nakba
every year, to instead, go straight for the jugular of the real
prime-movers behind that Zionist quest for Lebensraum. That, their
to-date 62 years of ineffective struggle can only acquire potency,
some measure of efficacy, if the Palestinians shrewdly recognized
that the Israel Project is intimately tied to the globalists'
agenda for the primacy of a “Zion that will light up all the
world” in a one-world government. And they harnessed that
brazen fact to reframe their struggle as the common global struggle
of mankind directed principally against not the errand boys in
Zionistan, but against the common global enemy of all mankind, the
prime-movers.
This
article, From Genocide to ReGenesis in
ZERO Compromise, penetrates deeper into the psychology, and the
limitations, to The Way Forward. It is not that the aforementioned
approach is a very profound discovery, or is classified top secret
and I just accidentally stumbled upon it. It has been as open as any
butcher's knife in front of sheep. Yet, the sheep have never been
able to revolt against the habit of the
butcher to provide mutton to its paying-patrons. It obviously is
incapable of thought. But we are human beings. What prevents us? What
ab initio creates sheeples among mankind so
democratically, that perfectly reasonable people, quite capable of
thought, equally fall prey to the limitations of their respective
world-views, follow pied-pipers, instead of doing their own
independent thinking? Apart from the real fear that being labeled a
rebel may now be deemed a terrorist, or at least a mental disorder in
psychiatry, that is? [2]
As
reported in the Washington Post, if “there might be a legal
entitlement to be a jerk”, most assuredly there will be legal
entitlement to be a non-conformist, i.e., an independent thinker:
'Today's
DSM defines "oppositional defiant disorder" as a pattern of
"negativistic, defiant, disobedient and hostile behavior toward
authority figures." Symptoms include "often loses temper,"
"often deliberately annoys people" or "is often
touchy." DSM omits this symptom: "is a teenager."
This
DSM defines as "personality disorders" attributes that once
were considered character flaws. "Antisocial personality
disorder" is "a pervasive pattern of disregard for . . .
the rights of others . . . callous, cynical . . . an inflated and
arrogant self-appraisal." "Histrionic personality disorder"
is "excessive emotionality and attention-seeking."
"Narcissistic personality disorder" involves "grandiosity,
need for admiration . . . boastful and pretentious." And so on.
If
every character blemish or emotional turbulence is a "disorder"
akin to a physical disability, legal accommodations are mandatory.
Under federal law, "disabilities" include any "mental
impairment that substantially limits one or more major life
activities"; "mental impairments" include "emotional
or mental illness." So there might be a legal entitlement to be
a jerk. (See above, "antisocial personality disorder.")' --
George F. Will, The Washington Post, February 28, 2010, Handbook
suggests that deviations from 'normality' are disorders
Well,
we already know that Orwellian conformance and Orwellian
re-semantification of language is on-going,
as also examined in Joseph Massad's Al-Ahram Weekly article 'The
Language of Zionism' here,
and in this scribe's response to The Israel Lobby's Global Propaganda
Manual here.
[3] The aforementioned diabolics to label
non-conformists as suffering from “disorders” is merely
the next phase of it. Soon, all un-favorableness towards Zion, just
like all critical questioning of Holocaust already is in many parts
of the world, might be illegal, or as the above portends, be deemed a
mental illness. In either case, a good reason to be enjoying state
hospitality, perhaps even in Room
101.

Let's
begin by looking at the maps of Palestine and the end result of 62
years of compromises while peering down the triple-barrel
gun of Zionism: massive money, massive power, and continuous massive
control of imperial superpowers. The effect of this triple-barrel gun
of Zionism is is empirically depicted in the following maps of ground
realities:

I
commence this exploration by framing the question forensically:
today as a Muslim in the world, I am a reviled entity in the West. I
bear the brunt of the same anti-Semitic fulminations
from the pulpits, thrones, and pedestals of “our
Judeo-Christian heritage, our secular present, and the worldwide
expansion of both” – in the potent words of the mighty
Zionist Svengali, the “leading Western
scholar of Islam”, Bernard Lewis – as the Jews
absorbed for two millennia in Christendom
up to as late as 62 years ago, the day of
Al Nakba. But look at my dire predicament: I can't get in to see
anyone in power to plead to them to give me back my Palestine, and my
Iraq, and to stop the military and covert assaults on my Pakistan,
and on my Iran, and to stop inducing the “birth-pangs of a New
Middle East”.
How
could the Jews have done it: got the imperial powers to grant them
the Balfour Declaration from a severely weakened
imperial power upon whom the sun had never set at the end of World
War I after it had simultaneously defeated two other rival powers in
Europe, the German Wiermach Republic which
was the legatee of the mighty Austria-Hungarian
empire, and the Ottoman Empire which was the legatee of over 13
centuries of Muslim empires; followed by the bipartisan vote from the
two most Cold Warring factions at the end of World War II, the United
States and the USSR, in the United Nations; unless the Jews had
already acquired the triple-barrel gun of Zionism?
Who acquired it and wielded it on behalf of Zionism? After every
major World War, Zionistan came a step closer to realization. Who
participated in the peace talks at the end of each world war which
gave Zionistan its piece meal recognition? Who created the entity of
the United Nations to create legal sanction by an arbitrary
supra-national global authority pushed by the victors of World War
II, and whose very first acts were to sanction partitions,
specifically of Palestine and Pakistan? After World War III, the
Global Cold War of yesteryear, the Zionist state even emerged as the
top three among the world's superpowers. How could that have possibly
happened? And after World War IV, this Global War on Terror
inferno that we, the generation Caught Between Two Ages, are being
privileged to live through without any significant comprehension of
the forces which drive it, will surely culminate in the “Zion
that will light up all the world.”
As
a practicing engineer – used to examining complex systems in
order to build them – turned social scientist, puzzled by this
bizarre empiricism of the slaughter of the goy in massive numbers and
the systematic destruction of their power-base, with the Jews
successively coming out on top after each slaughter-cycle in such a
short span, I decided to probe deeper. This paper is the result of my
progressively refined research into this question since that very day
of infamy, September 11, 2001. Since the day when I had decided to
dump all a priori pre-suppositions, and all pied-pipers, and had
curled up with William Shirer's Rise and
Fall of The Third Reich, and Hitler's Mein Kampf, to attempt to
comprehend the Nazi's self-inflicted Operation Canned
Goods as a pretext for their war of German Lebensraum. I have, by
now, studied countless historical narratives to understand current
affairs and empirical matters always cloaked in deception. My
comprehension today is layered upon facts uncovered by many a
rational, un-afraid detectives who has
tread this path before me.
But
it is not mere facts which create perspectives. Although, no doubt,
facts must be built upon in order to be empirical in one's analysis.
In an age when “deception is the state of mind and the mind of
state” (James Jesus Ingleton, former
Director of counter intelligence in the CIA
during whose watch all the momentous political assassinations
of 1960s transpired); when power decides what is fact and what is
recorded as fact in its primary documentation and the popular Press,
which are subsequently used by others down the chain of narrators
echoing what was by fiat deemed to be fact, as absolute fact, without
being cognizant of that very fact of fiat; when the enactment
of puppetshows is construed as displaying “facts”, and
recorded as such by historians; facts by themselves are meaningless
in such a landscape when “waging war by way of deception”
upon the public is the norm rather than the exception.
So,
for instance, is it a fact that '19 Muslim Jihadis'
rammed hijacked airplanes into two tall
buildings bringing both of them down into their own footprint (watch
wtc1,
wtc2),
bringing a third tall building down into its own footprint a few
hours later without even hitting it (watch wtc7)?
[6] In this example, the scientific observation that three very tall
buildings comprising millions of tons of steel exploded into powder
and/or collapsed into their own footprint at near free-fall speed, is
an unarguable empirical fact. And the only fact. The rest, who
dunnit, how it was done, and
why it was done, as officially recorded in the current affairs books
and the Press, are assertions by the fiat of power using its control
of the narrative, i.e., the Mighty Wurlitzer, as examined here.
[7] The official narratives of today are the absolute facts of the
historians of tomorrow with no minority report on the official
record. Popular dissenting voices of course are 'conspiracy
theories', examined here,
[8] shortly to be medically diagnosed as victims of delusions
suffering from mental
illnesses for which medical and legal groundwork is now being laid.
As
George Orwell shrewdly but accurately
observed in the opening of his seminal
prognostications in “1984”:
“Who
controls the past, controls the future; who controls the present,
controls the past”
Therefore,
empirically, control of the narrative of history, as of current
affairs, has been the imperative of all empires. It is a tool as old
as hegemony, as old as mankind. Only fools, and imperial scholars in
the service of empire, regardless of their garb, ignore it.
Ergo,
it follows that the purported facts of history, as well as of current
affairs, have to be treated as being more akin to clues, at times
false clues and red herrings as in a crime scene, rather than as
statements of facts. Therefore, the most rational model for
understanding history and its linkages to current affairs, is the
forensic one. Like the forensic eye of a crime detective, such as
Agatha Christie's famous character Hercule
Poirot, pondering upon the interconnections
of clues, statements of purported eyewitnesses, drawing deductions,
making logical inferences, and using new methods for uncovering
unknown clues not visible to the naked eye in the visible light
spectrum, such as employing ultraviolet and infrared regions of the
spectrum to see what the naked eye can't perceive
– all part and parcel of the forensics employed for
apprehending a convoluted crime, solving a puzzle.
Thus,
studying history and current affairs is like studying a crime scene
or solving a puzzle. Its path is almost like the weaving of
the many horizontal and vertical threads on a loom to fashion a
carpet, or knit a Jacquard. That fashions a
perspective from the underlying clues borne of empiricism.
Weaving many perspectives from the same empirical
elements, just like weaving many carpets from the same colored
threads, is possible. And just like some detectives are plain wrong,
and one right in identifying the real criminal, the same challenges
beset the study of history. To find that right one master criminal,
or the right perspective which explains the engagement of power and
its narrative, surrounded tous azimuth
by an endless trail of false clues, patsies taking the fall, and lies
turned into sacred truths.
To
the extent that a perspective is empirical, cohesive, is able to
coherently resolve the riddles of power and its infestations of the
mind, it cannot be refuted by mere assertions, threats, and calumny.
It can stand in a court of law on its own merit, provided of course,
it isn't a kangaroo court administering the sovereign's justice, a
Military Tribunal administering the victor's justice, or a tournament
of justice run by the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. The
definition of a crime, is always the fiat of sovereigns, such as one
day a terrorist, the next day a Noble Peace Prize winner (like
Israel's late prime minister Menachem
Begin). As even argued by Justice Vinson of the U.S. Supreme Court in
1951:
“Nothing
is more certain in modern society than the principle that there are
no absolutes, that a name, a phrases, a standard has meaning only
when associated with the considerations which give birth to
nomenclature. To those who would paralyze our Government in the face
of impending threat by encasing it in a semantic strait-jacket, we
must reply that all concepts are relative.” (Cited in
Palestine: The Struggle Forward, op. cit.)
Still,
the vestiges of the “semantic strait-jacket” have left a
few crucial loop holes in modernity. Before they all disappear
altogether from the uber-moral landscape of secular humanism, one can
harness the same cracks and lacunae used by power to oppress the
world to its diktats: legalism. Afterwards, of course, when there is
no recourse left from absolute tyranny, it
is always either perpetual slavery, or perpetual revolt and warfare,
for no peace processes can ever lead to freeing sheep from the
hectoring hegemons' habit of mutton eating!
One
such legal crack still existent in the dusty old law books, is,
interestingly, this definition of “conspiracy”:
“In
law, agreement of two or more persons to commit a criminal or
otherwise unlawful act. At common law, the crime of conspiracy was
committed with the making of the agreement, but present-day statutes
require an overt step by a conspirator to further the conspiracy.
Other controversial aspects of conspiracy laws include the
modification of the rules of evidence and the potential for a
dragnet. A statement of a conspirator in furtherance of the
conspiracy is admissible against all conspirators, even if the
statement includes damaging references to another conspirator, and
often even if it violates the rules against hearsay evidence. The
conspiracy can be proved by circumstantial evidence. Any conspirator
is guilty of any substantive crime committed by any other conspirator
in furtherance of the enterprise. It is a federal crime to conspire
to commit any activity prohibited by federal statute, whether or not
Congress imposed criminal sanctions on the activity itself.”
(Columbia Encyclopedia, quoted in: Some Dare Call it Conspiracy! Are
you among them? here
[9])
My
contribution to creating the forensic perspective on current affairs
cannot be deemed very original, because, in the light of clear
knowledge and forming the clear picture of the elephant
shitting-trumpeting in broad daylight, it is only unveiling what is
already in broad daylight. The blind of course can't ever see,
daylight or not being moot. What can the blind ever perceive of an
elephant, by feeling its deadly stomp upon them? Only something very
large, and very heavy.
I
do not intend to bring sight to the blind – not a Jesus, nor a
miracle worker am I. I intend however, to lay the seeds to
effectively counter this grotesque elephant using its own primary
tool – political science, which it wields through its
triple-barrel gun. To germinate, to
cultivate, and to harvest, however is no more one man's job than
executing on the Zionist's plan has been a one-man job. Using the
same political science being used against us, we must fashion our own
antidote to their triple-barrel gun. That fashioning does not require
the majority of the public to be sighted, nor for them to believe
what I believe, as Morpheus gallantly put
it to the Council in the underground “Zion” in the
Hollywood production: Matrix, the Revolution.
This
paper is addressed to the tiny minority of thinking and
morally-motivated peoples on planet earth, who still harbor the moral
commonsense of The Golden Rule as a categorical imperative, who do
not hold themselves to be uber alles, but who, almost all of them
with only few notable exceptions, are inadvertently being led by
their own emotionalism, by glamorous fools and false-leaders among
them, and who have become the victims of their own myopic world-view
which they haven't put to the forensic test of empiricism.
Thinking
is a difficult business. Even those who can think, are often either
too lazy to indulge in its luxury of
actually exercising their grey-matter,
often imagining that some other prominent
stalwart with “scholar” stamped on his or her forehead
has done due diligence on the matter on their behalf, or, are plagued
by the following truism:
“Man
is naturally competitive, acquisitive, and,
in a greater or less degree, pugnacious. When the Press tells him
that so-and-so is his enemy, a whole set of instincts in him responds
to the suggestion. It is natural to most men to suppose that they
have enemies and to find a certain fulfillment of their nature when
they embark upon a contest. What a man believes upon grossly
insufficient evidence is an index to his desires – desires of
which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact
which goes against his instincts [or worldview], he will scrutinize
it closely, and unless [and at times even when] the evidence is
overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he
is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance
with his instincts [or worldview], he will accept it even on the
slenderest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way,
and much of what is currently believed in international affairs is no
better then myth.” (Bertrand Russell, Proposed Roads to
Freedom, 1919, page 147)
The
construction of these myths and false beliefs in international
affairs, as further explained by Philip D.
Zelikow in the 1997-98 report of the
“Terrorism Study Group” which accurately predicted the
chain reaction of reaction-response cycle to any ‘Catastrophic
Terrorism’, is predicated entirely upon the 'Public
Assumptions' which Shape Views of History:
“Such
presumptions are beliefs (1) thought to be true (although not
necessarily known to be true with certainty), and (2) shared in
common within the relevant political community. The sources for such
presumptions are both personal (from direct experience) and vicarious
(from books, movies, and myths).” (Cited in: A Note on the
Mighty Wurlitzer, op. cit.)
This
tremendous insight into the mind of man was also not lost on Adolf
Hitler. In Mein Kampf, Hitler accurately recognized it:
“Journalistic
circles in particular like to describe the press as a 'great power'
in the state. As a matter of fact, its importance really is immense.
It cannot be overestimated, for the press really continues education
in adulthood. Its readers, by and large, can be divided into three
groups:
First,
into those who believe everything they read; second, into those who
have ceased to believe anything; third, into the minds which
critically examine what they read, and judge accordingly.
Numerically,
the first group is by far the largest. It consists of the great mass
of the people and consequently represents the simplest-minded part of
the nation. It cannot be listed in terms of professions, but at most
in general degrees of intelligence.
To
it belong all those who have neither been born nor trained to think
independently, and who partly from incapacity and partly from
incompetence believe everything that is set before them in black and
white. To them also belongs the type of lazybones who could perfectly
well think, but from sheer mental laziness seizes gratefully on
everything that someone else has thought, with the modest assumption
that the someone else has exerted himself considerably.
Now,
with all these types, who constitute the great masses, the influence
of the press will be enormous.
They
are not able or willing themselves to examine what is set before
them, and as a result their whole attitude toward all the problems of
the day can be reduced almost exclusively to the outside influence of
others. ...
Today,
when the ballot of the masses decides, the chief weight lies with the
most numerous group, and this is the first: the mob of the simple or
credulous.” (Mein Kampf, pages 240-242)
Hitler
credited the Anglophiles for their propaganda lessons:
“On
the other hand, British and American war propaganda was
psychologically efficient. By picturing the Germans to their own
people as Barbarians and Huns, they were preparing their soldiers for
the horrors of war and safeguarding them against illusions. ...
From
the enemy, however, a fund of valuable knowledge could be gained by
those who kept their eyes open, whose powers of perception had not
yet become sclerotic, and who during four-and-a-half years had to
experience the perpetual flood of enemy propaganda.
The
worst of all was that our people did not understand the very first
condition which has to be fulfilled in every kind of propaganda;
namely, a systematically one-sided attitude towards every problem
that has to be dealt with. ...
The
great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and
outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather
than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but
simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only
the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and
wrong, truth and falsehood. Its notions are never partly this and
partly that. English propaganda especially understood this in a
marvellous way and put what they understood
into practice. They allowed no half-measures which might have given
rise to some doubt.
Proof
of how brilliantly they understood that the feeling of the masses is
something primitive was shown in their policy of publishing tales of
horror and outrages which fitted in with the real horrors of the
time, thereby cleverly and ruthlessly preparing the ground for moral
solidarity at the front, even in times of great defeats. Further, the
way in which they pilloried the German enemy as solely responsible
for the war--which was a brutal and absolute falsehood--and the way
in which they proclaimed his guilt was excellently calculated to
reach the masses, realizing that these are always extremist in their
feelings. And thus it was that this atrocious lie was positively
believed. ...
The
success of any advertisement, whether of a business or political
nature, depends on the consistency and perseverance with which it is
employed.
In
this respect also the propaganda organized by our enemies set us an
excellent example. It confined itself to a few themes, which were
meant exclusively for mass consumption, and it repeated these themes
with untiring perseverance. Once these fundamental themes and the
manner of placing them before the world were recognized as effective,
they adhered to them without the slightest alteration for the whole
duration of the War. At first all of it appeared to be idiotic in its
impudent assertiveness. Later on it was looked upon as disturbing,
but finally it was believed.
But
in England they came to understand something further: namely, that
the possibility of success in the use of this spiritual weapon
consists in the mass employment of it, and that when employed in this
way it brings full returns for the large expenses incurred.
In
England propaganda was regarded as a weapon of the first order,
whereas with us it represented the last hope of a livelihood for our
unemployed politicians and a snug job for shirkers of the modest hero
type. ...
I
learned something that was important at that time, namely, to snatch
from the hands of the enemy the weapons which he was using in his
reply. I soon noticed that our adversaries, especially in the persons
of those who led the discussion against us, were furnished with a
definite repertoire of arguments out of which they took points
against our claims which were being constantly repeated. The uniform
character of this mode of procedure pointed to a systematic and
unified training. And so we were able to recognize the incredible way
in which the enemy's propagandists had been disciplined, and I am
proud to-day that I discovered a means not only of making this
propaganda ineffective but of beating the artificers of it at their
own work. Two years later I was master of that art.” (Mein
Kampf, Vol. 2, Chapter VI)
Hitler's
teacher of course, inter alia, was Edward Bernays, the founder of
“Public Relations”, who opened his own seminal 1928 book,
Propaganda, which described the subliminal control of man and his
behavior through manipulation of the subconscious, the 'irrational
mind', with these portentous words:
“The
conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and
opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.
Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an
invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”
(Edward Bernays, Propaganda, page 1, also see A Note on the
Mighty Wurlitzer, op. cit.)
The
necessity of maintaining and manipulating a public's ignorance and
perceptions through self-indulgences, through deliberately dumbing
them down with bread and circuses, though wholly self-evident today,
was already well thought out at the very dawn of the industrial age
in the early eighteenth century.
Bernard de Mandeville in his famous
classic,The Fable of the Bees, observed:
“The
economic well-being of the nation depends on the presence of a large
number of men who are content to labor hard all day long. Because men
are naturally lazy they will not work unless forced by necessity to
do so.” (Bernard de Mandeville, The Fable of the Bees)
The
philosophy espoused in The Fable of the Bees inspired Adam Smith to
propose the pursuit of selfish industriousness for the overall common
good – of course primarily of the ruling class with
trickle-down economics, but that's just buried
in the definition of common good. Patterned upon the bees
collectively making that marvellous tasting honey, by each bee
myopically staying busy in its own specialized micro-task, lies the
entire edifice of modern civilization. This philosophy of selfish
myopic industriousness for common good has been adopted to the
high-tech age of modernity which requires rather specialized
worker-bees, with the commensurate twist of creating educated morons
with advanced university degrees who can very patriotically
“United We Stand” for the common good while staying
productively engaged in narrow specializations in
the economy. Kept perpetually too busy, to either think
independently even when capable of doing so, or to pursue knowledge
outside of their narrow specializations by the sheer demands of
having to pay their endless debt-bills in pursuit of their endless
“American Dreams”, statecraft today relies on inflicting
The Fable of the Bees upon man for its own proper functioning.
Information today has been recast as knowledge, and parrots have been
turned into learned savants.
A
state of modern affairs which afflicts modern man quite
democratically. We are, despite all the vast data on our fingertips
in this Information Age, and all the sophistication of modern
gadgetry, still living in the age of Jahiliya
(ignorance)! This ignorance is by careful design in the industrious
West, especially in the sole superpower, United States of America –
as already examined by this scribe in Prisoners of the Cave
here.
[10] It is not just by the happenstance of knowledge explosion in
modernity, as Zbigniew Brzezinski would have one believe. That, “the
threat of intellectual fragmentation, posed by the gap between the
pace in the expansion of knowledge and the rate of its assimilation”,
is what causes general myopia in the Technetronic Era, leaving
industrialized people, including the Palestinians in Diaspora who
have moved to the West, quite ignorant of what matters to statecraft:
“The
science explosion – the most rapidly expanding aspect of our
entire reality, growing more rapidly than population, industry, and
cities – intensifies, rather than reduces, these feelings of
insecurity. It is simply impossible for the average citizen and even
for men of intellect to assimilate and meaningfully organize the flow
of knowledge for themselves. In every scientific field complaints are
mounting that the torrential outpouring of published reports,
scientific papers, and scholarly articles and the proliferation of
professional journals make it impossible for individuals to avoid
becoming either narrow gauged specialists or superficial generalists.
... The threat of intellectual fragmentation, posed by the gap
between the pace in the expansion of knowledge and the rate of its
assimilation, raises a perplexing question concerning the prospects
for mankind's intellectual unity.” (Zbigniew Brzezinski,
Between Two Ages, page 15)
This
paper assiduously endeavors to overcome those uncanny innate
tendencies, and the hidden manipulations which exploit those innate
tendencies, of projecting it “simply
[being] impossible for the average citizen and even for men of
intellect to assimilate and meaningfully organize the flow of
knowledge for themselves”; of requiring experts to do it
for the public; of learned people partaking in vicariously
constructed myths and propaganda even to the point of condoning
extreme violence when faced with any threat to one's world-view,
whether real or imagined; as brilliantly captured by all the
preceding empire builders, and amply in evidence since 911 when the
most brilliant peoples gathered “United We Stand” just as
in the Third Reich!
This
paper consciously endeavors to overcome that deadly myopia against
which Martin Luther King Jr., offered the following, and only
prescription:
“In
international conflicts the truth is hard to come by, because most
nations are deceived about themselves. Rationalizations and the
incessant search for scapegoats, are the psychological cataracts that
blind us to our sins. But the day has passed for our superficial
patriotism. He who lives with untruth lives in spiritual slavery.
Freedom is still the bonus we receive for knowing the truth. 'Yee
shall know the truth', says Jesus, 'and the truth shall set you
free.'” (Martin Luther King Jr., 1967 speech at the
Ebenezer Baptist Church)
And
this paper does indeed overcome those “psychological cataracts”
so diabolically cultivated and harvested by power, through its
creation of multi-faceted Hegelian dialectics in order to seed the
“high degree of doctrinal motivation, intellectual commitment,
and patriotic gratification” that forms the core-underpinnings
of “imperial mobilization”. This was coldly attested by
Zbigniew Brzezinski in his 1996 The Grand Chessboard, and upon which
is devilishly erected the entire house of
cards of this Global War on Terror since the “Catastrophic
Terrorism” of 911 – America's most longed for “new
Pearl Harbor” to finally catalyze the process for the long
planned transformation to Global Governance in a one-world
government. A Catastrophic Terrorism for which the sole superpower
had ostensibly prepared to protect itself against so assiduously
throughout the post Cold War epoch which preceded
it, just as it is now spending the post 911 epoch ostensibly
protecting the Americans and its Western allies from the terrorists
who did 911:
“But
the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion,
except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's
sense of domestic well-being. The economic self-denial (that is
defense spending), and the human sacrifice (casualties even among
professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to
democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization.
... More generally, cultural change in America may also be
uncongenial to the sustained exercise abroad of genuinely imperial
power. That exercise requires a high degree of doctrinal motivation,
intellectual commitment, and patriotic gratification.”
(Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard,
pages 36, 211-212)
Commensurately,
in order to benefit from this paper and The Way Forward, or
even to challenge it with any value added, the reader too must do the
same. Understand that one is naturally beholden to one's world-view,
no matter how profound or virtuous, which, one will naturally defend
no matter what exposition with what evidence is set before one.
Unless one consciously endeavors to
overcome these “psychological cataracts” which tend to
induce severe myopia, self-righteousness, and pathetic ignorance in
the garb of lofty education, prestige, wealth, degrees, and applause,
nothing new which is contrary to one's world-view, can ever seep in.
Incestuous self-reinforcement is a state of normalcy not just at the
White House in its Zionist decision making! This is entirely
self-evident, but most tend to apply it to only others, not to
oneself. It is always that other fellow! Know thy self in
order to know the world, is more than just a cliché of the
Sufis. It is a necessity for genuine learning in a modernity which
subjects the public to immense forces of social engineering.
Not an easy task to accomplish, for it's an on-going process to
unlearn what has been spent a lifetime being taught and which has
calcified in one's world-view.
Nevertheless,
it is an essential process for genuine seekers of truth, for the
moral harbingers of real change, including the Palestinian rebels
themselves, in order for one to not go through life as a gullible
patsy of power, as a virtuous moron rehearsing mainly the
incantations of power while calling it dissent, as a programmed robot
celebrating the scholarship of others, or as a likkha-parrha
jahil (pretentious ignoramus
with advanced academic degrees from IVY Leagues) leading other
morons. Having suffered is not an automatic qualification for knowing
what to do next. It requires careful thought, like any engineering
project. And the test of thought is daily, constant, like morality,
and one can't claim that Oh, I had thought in the 1960s, or “I
was born with that thought”, and coast on that mileage! Saying
that out loud sounds so bizarre, but it unfortunately captures the
mindset of many a rebel today who prides himself on dissent –
and follows the pied-pipers without analysis. The most thoughtful
among this lot, in fact, have come up with a great excuse to not
think: too much analysis leads to paralysis – “Just Do
It”!
Do
what? That's right, run on the treadmill laid
out in front of one.
And
one can see the results of exercises in “Just Do It” in
the preceding maps of 62 years of
dispossession, and where that's headed.
In
my view, apart from all the other arguably good reasons, the primary
reason the maps of Palestine presently look like this has been the
failure to out-think and out-smart a far superior nemesis which
primarily wages an uber-sophisticated war by way of deception strewn
with crafty red herrings! See my analysis in Rescuing a Failed
Struggle From Its Narratives – Response to Witness in
Palestine, here.
[11] And persisting in that way will only lead to the predicted
outcome also shown in the maps!
It
is a fallacy to look at the Jewish state in
isolation to what's happening in the rest of the world, ignoring the
unparalleled impetus towards Global
Governance and global tyranny. The Zion has a singular role to play
in this world, a role never enjoyed by Apartheid South Africa during
the epoch in which it existed. The Jewish State will be able to
maintain its Apartheid status indefinitely
in the same measure as the world government will be able to maintain
itself. In the words of Bertrand Russell:
“There
is, it must be confessed, a psychological difficulty about a single
world government. The chief source of social cohesion in the past, I
repeat, has been war: the passions that inspire a feeling of unity
are hate and fear. These depend upon the existence of an enemy,
actual or potential. It seems to follow that a world government could
only be kept in being by force, not by the spontaneous loyalty that
now inspires a nation at war.” (Bertrand Russell, Impact of
Science on Society,1951, page 37)
And
we do empirically observe such a global display of monolithic force,
police-states of common vintage rapidly descending like an “iron
curtain” around the West. [12] If police-states can enslave
billions of freedom loving Western peoples into the straight-jacket
of tyranny, what's to practicably deter
Zion to do it over several million? It is even far more experienced
in its practice and is in fact, the teacher of others. World
government and Zion share the same common prime-movers. Whereas, the
cunning fallacy that an equitable binational state will be the
natural outcome of the “onestate”, now that “two-state”
is dead by the fiat of Zionist conquest, is being pushed by the new
lauded scholarships to take over the critique of Israel from where
Noam Chomsky left off in his now stale repertoire. As only an
illustrative example, here
[13] is the distinguished Professor John Mearsheimer,
the author of the famous red herring critique of the ugly bulldog,
The Israeli Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, without identifying the
prime-mover owners which empower its rabid bite:
“In
the long run, however, Israel will not be able to maintain itself as
an apartheid state. Like racist South Africa, it will eventually
evolve into a democratic bi-national state
whose politics will be dominated by the more numerous Palestinians.
Of course, this means that Israel faces a bleak future as a Jewish
state. Let me explain why. ....” (John Mearsheimer,
The Future of Palestine: Righteous Jews vs. the New Afrikaners,
speaking at The Palestine Center, Washington, D.C., 29 April
2010)
Bunch
of bogus but believable explanations
follow, starting with the first one: “For starters, the
discrimination and repression that is the essence of apartheid will
be increasingly visible to people all around the world” –
as if, all the horrendous bombings and burning of Palestinian
children haven't been visible to the world a plenty? Is Apartheid
more atrocious than what the entire world
witnessed in January 2009 in Gaza? See the absurdity of Mearsheimer's
implied conjecture in that statement, that the people of the world in
a pang of conscience will rush to Palestine's rescue, in From
Genesis to Genocide in Palestine January 16, 2009 here.
[14]
John
Mearsheimer's main conjecture above, “In
the long run, however, Israel will not be able to maintain itself as
an apartheid state”, is sheer wishful thinking, if not outright
nonsense, in no less a measure than Noam Chomsky's two-state solution
has been a sheer red herring – and which mainly contributed in
sewing the fait accompli for “onestate”, all-state, a
mini Eretz Yisrael, today. The latter is now obvious to all and
sundry by the grotesque realities on the ground. The former too will
be just as obvious to celebrated pundits tomorrow, when it will sew
the new fait accompli – no return of the Palestinian refugees
to their home, and any Palestinians fortunate enough to survive
expulsions and oppressions at ground zero,
becoming the slumlords of the twenty-first
century.
It
is not a measure of thought to be able rehearse history like a parrot
and draw shallow parallels to the present. It is, rather, in astutely
preempting future history, in nullifying the acts of vile “history's
actors” before they sew fait accompli, in shrewdly overcoming
the diabolical war on public waged by way of deception by a
thousand sayanim, as aptly captured in the pithy statement of George
Bernard Shaw:
“We
are made wise not by the recollections of our past, but by the
responsibility for our future.”
Being
independently thinking is a lonely business. None applauded Socrates,
as one ought to remember while celebrating
one's own truth tellers receiving awards, fat paychecks, and
lucrative book sales. Gathering truly independent minded Socrates to
focus on a common goal can only happen organically – not by
celebrity appointment, or vote by democracy, or by book sales –
when they each arrive at the same conclusion themselves.
In
this interconnected world in which the prime-movers seek its primacy
through its many incantations of visible power while staying safely
hidden behind its errand boys, like Theodor Herzl's Der Judenstatd
which rallied the Jews around Zionism, this paper endeavors to
replace emotional sloganeering of the patriots of humanity, with
political acumen rallied against the prime-movers. It replaces
endless runs on the treadmills of inefficacy chasing a thousand
different effects, with a focussed political goal to be measured in
practicable results of actual baby-step achievements chasing the
first cause, the prime-movers. The measurement is incremental success
towards that goal, not wishful thinking, not applause of the mutton
eaters, and not the shepherding of the
butchers priming its flock for supporting the habit of mutton eaters.
Just look at the preceding maps to realize
the self-evident truth of this. Give me a lever long enough, and a
place to rest it, and I can move the earth – that is an
engineering problem, not a philosophical one. This is what the
Zionist prime-movers accomplished through their triple-barrel gun –
to give the devil its due – and this is what a new generation
of fearless rebels among the beleaguered
humanity must accomplish in order to rid ourselves of the deadly
menace of the shitting-trumpeting-elephant
trampling with impunity upon the entire world in broad daylight.
To
remain afraid of the grotesque elephant is to court its shit in
perpetual ignominy. To remain boldly unafraid of it with the moral
courage and ingenuity of 'Mens et Manus' that no ubermensch
can match despite their triple-barrel gun, is to avert future infamy
for our progeny.
When
those on ground Zero in Palestine daily exhibit this courage in a
stride of existentialism, their brethren elsewhere bring only shame
to themselves in their empty sloganeering
and empty chest-thumping which puts to risk not an iota of hair on
their head, never mind their waging a struggle of any measure of
efficacy. This captures almost 99% of Palestinians in Diaspora, the
majority among them being anguished bystanders like the rest of the
world, too relieved to be out of the hell hole, too caught up in
their daily grind to do anything but weep in silence; and a vocal
minority among that lot remaining ineffectual narrators of the works
of “history's actors”. This aspect of assiduously
studying the shit left behind by “history's actors” as
the perfect Machiavelli, is explained here.
[15] Among the tiny exception of the remaining one percent
Palestinians in Diaspora – like their counterpart among the
tiny handful of the Jews who attended Herzl's
first Zionist Congress in Basel Switzerland harboring a new vision
for their Lebensraum – at least some among them must surely
rise to that challenge to daily assert to themselves:
On
this day I have reclaimed Palestine. If I were to proclaim it out
loud, I'd be greeted with universal laughter. But in five years,
surely in less than fifty, everyone will be able to return home. If
only I knew how!
Well,
as per the tautological promise of a Grander Power which surpasses
the triple-gun of the Zionists, and which even Patrick Henry clearly
understood,
“...
Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they
change it themselves.” (Holy Qur'an, 13:11)
Patrick
Henry echoed that very belief when he laid the bold foundations of
breaking-away from the chains of servitude:
“...
Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just
God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up
friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the
strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.”
(Patrick Henry, Speech March 23, 1775)
And
so must the handful today, resoundingly echo the same sentiments:
“Gentlemen
may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. ...
Our
brethren are already in the field!
Why
stand we here idle?
What
is it that gentlemen wish?
What
would they have?
Is
life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery?
Forbid
it, Almighty God!
I
know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty,
or give me death!” (Ibid.)
Here
is my little take on how. I am afraid this is only the outline. In a
nut-shell, First, conclusively identify the real enemy, the Golem
which hides behind the Jews' momentous weight of 3000 years of
history, but is no more a Jew of Moses than any other self-proclaimed
Ashkenazi. Second, rip-out its heavily protected heart; or,
administer a thousand lethal cuts and prevent each one from
coagulating. Let's proceed to The
Way Forward.
