The Syrian 'crisis' is an excellent case in point.
First and foremost, this is an internal 'crisis', yet it has been mangled by certain Western and Arab powers to be a crisis that somehow 'affects us all'. But it doesn't, not should it. If the Assad regime is under attack from internal forces, then so be it. But it is an internal matter, whatever the 'civilized world' might wish to harp on about. Civil wars and internal revolutions have occurred many times before, and shall continue to occur long into the future.
The hypocrisy of it all is the we all know this is nothing more than a geopolitical battle being waged with one goal in mind - Iran. Syria is strategic conduit to that nation that poses so many 'threats' to so many 'powers' (when in fact, it doesn't). Iran is a threat to the United States and the West because it simply won't capitulate to ludicrous and patently unfair allegations about its nuclear program. Iran is a threat to Israel because the apartheid Jewish state is the hysterical bitch that never shuts the hell up and shit stirs like the most vile gossip on the block.
Iran wants to develop nuclear energy. I am entirely opposed to nuclear energy on ecological and human health grounds, but when nuclear countries like the United States, the UK, France and Israel get all shrill and self-righteous about Iran's 'nuclear intentions', then all I want to do is throw up - such is my bile from the sheer hypocrisy of these anti-Tehran allegations.
However, all the hypocrisy gets even richer when just this weekend a symposium of countries calling themselves 'Friend of Syria" meet in Istanbul to declare their unrelenting devotion (and plenty bucks and arms) to the so-called 'freedom fighters' in Syria trying to topple the Assad regime.
Never mind that these so-called 'freedom fighters in Syria have been:
- Accused by many Syrian witnesses of mostly being comprised of foreign mercenaries
- Accused by many Syrian and foreign aid people inside the country of countless horrific atrocities against civilians in cities like Homs
- Accused by the International Red Cross of being a leading cause of the thousands of Syrian refugees who have fled to neighbouring countries like Turkey and Jordan
- Aided, abetted and very strongly supported by certain Western and Arab countries with arms, cash and, of course, diplomatic support
Hillary Clinton, that sold-out and inept Secretary of State from the United States, is there too, grinning like a demented old mog and looking more bedraggled than ever. So too other nations committed to overthrowing Assad, all in the name of the "people of Syria" and that most whored-out word of all, "democracy." I say hypocrisy because one of the leading bulwarks in this Laughable Posse of Hypocrites congregated in Istanbul is none other than the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, undoubtedly one of the most oppressive and outright hideous governments on planet Earth. And there they are berating Syria's Assad for being an "oppressor" and violating "human rights," full of indignant self-righteousness.
This 'indignation' from SAUDI ARABIA?!!
Oh, come on! How can anyone not see the sheer hypocrisy of just that?!
We all know what this is all about: it's about nothing more than oil and geopolitical power by a seriously ailing and declining (and bankrupt, by the way) imperial power and its lapdog allies in the region, as well as from the West. Oil and money-obsessed geopolitics. Nothing else. Hence all the streams and rivers and enormous oceans of putrid, nauseating hypocrisy.
This has stuff all to do with democracy or violations of human rights. This is cynical, malevolent geopolitical posturing at its very worst. And we as human beings should be sick to the stomach that this is what we have progressed to in the year 2012.
Do you get my point?
