It Says It All: Israeli Hegemony

I saw this brilliant cartoon today in an excellent article about the hypocrisy of the United States and the West on the website, www.veteranstoday.com:

It Says It All: The Syrian 'Crisis' & Other 'Fights for Democracy'

I came across this brilliant and extremely telling today. It was from a blog called www.democratic-syria.blogspot.com, and for all its possible pro-Assad or anti-West bias (and on even that I cannot make real call, nor should it matter), the points it makes about the sheer hypocrisy of some of the West and Arab world's vitriol against Assad cannot be wished away. Let me see the validity of some this blog's claims:

• "The West has always been and will always be hypocrites when it comes to slogans and what they really aim to do. Issues like Human Rights, Freedom of Speech, Democracy, Protecting Civilians... Are all great slogans for ugly acts, how many lives were lost under these slogans in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Lebanon, Serbia, Bosnia, Vietnam... and the list goes on." - Valid
• "We've seen how Greek officials handle their own peoples' aspiration to rid of the control of bankers of their lives and the result was appointing a banker to rule them." - Valid
• "We've seen Italians and how their government in a copy cat of Greek's handled them." - Valid
• "We've seen the remarkably peaceful and overwhelming Occupy Wall Street movement and how brutally it was handled by 'law enforcement' thugs in the USA." - Valid

Hmmmmm, all very valid points, of course. Which is why so many people look at all the posturing against Syrian "oppression" by countries like the US, UK and France as nothing more than hypocrisy at its most blatant and reprehensible. And that's not even to mention what the Israelis keep doing against the Palestinians or what Saudi Arabia and Bahrain do against their very own people.

Yes, democracy will indeed come to you, replete with bombs and atrocities and dead civilians and destroyed cities and towns and raped economies and puppet governments... whether you like it or not.

Do you get my point?

RANT: The So-Called "Friends of Syria"

Few things in this world make me as angry as hypocrisy. Yet it is everywhere. The historical record is rife with hypocrisy; human nature is rife with hypocrisy. The hypocrisy of the powerful, the hypocrisy of the pleb - it has been a mainstay of human society and has shaped who we are, regardless of race, culture or creed. Hypocrisy has no doubt abounded for millennia, it would seem, and certainly continues to abound with wild abandon today.

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?

RANT: Are You Syr-ious?

The whole escalating furore and ganging up by the West and certain Gulf states against Syria is, quite frankly, beyond the pale in its sheer cynicism and blatant geopolitical posturing.



It's not even posturing - it's masquerading at its most gauche and downright embarrassing.

After all, who the hell are the United States (aka Pimp and Sugar Daddy Supreme to the Apartheid State of Israel), United Kingdom, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain et al really kidding with all this jumping up and down regarding Syria and the sudden 'insurrection' by a 'populist movement' against the Assad regime?

They're certainly not kidding me, that much is for sure.

I do believe the Tunisian revolution was genuine and, to a certain degree, so too the spontaneous outpouring in Tahrir Square that toppled the heinous Mubarak regime in Egypt. I cheered loudly and joyfully for the peoples of those countries in their quest to run out corrupt, violent regimes that had ruled them for too long and too hard.

The authoritarian governments in Jordan, Algeria and Morocco suddenly scrambled throwing rights and promises of social and economic reform to their people. The fear of those regimes was palpable. The Arab Spring felt real and like a delirious fever gripping the entire region, and much to my delight. 

But the creepy, brutal quashing of the uprising in Bahrain (fully aided by Saudi tanks and military might, let us not forget) piqued me and provoked an uneasy, sickening stirring deep inside me. Then the travesty known as the Libyan 'civil war' came along, and that made it all too clear - ah yes, the manipulations and geo-political contortions of the United States and its Western-Arab puppets were well under way once more.

The invasion of a sovereign state like Libya on the pretext of 'aiding the human rights' of the civilian population, when we all knew it was all about the gooey black stuff in the ground and getting rid of a dictator who no longer served any purpose, was not only illegal under international law, but set yet another dangerous, perverse precedent in international affairs and diplomacy.

And now Syria. All the usual suspects baying that Assad simply must go, go, GO! - and it's all so utterly transparent and so utterly cynical.

Yes, we all know that Assad is a dictator and that an authoritarian regime is never benign or just. But why now? Why right now? And why not invade nearly every Gulf state if it all boils down to human rights and democracy (which we all know it doesn't)? Jesus, if there's one country that's deserving of a mega invasion to free its people from one of the most disgusting regimes on the planet, then surely it has to be the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?!

Syria would have been invaded a loooong time ago if it had more of that gooey black stuff in its ground. It doesn't, so it's been left alone. But now the United States of Pentagon and its various puppets have set their sights on taking on none other than Iran, with Israel screaming for blood like some vicious little senile bitch on the sidelines, so where to go first? Ah, of course - Iran's closest ally in the region.

Enter, Syria.

And so the charade will get more gargoylesque and more innocent blood will be shed and all for what? Just to eventually invade Iran and create even more mayhem just for the sake of the West's hyper-industrial-military complex and that most neurotic, schizophrenic nation of all, Israel?

The cancer of cynicism will just spread and spread and spread. That's all.

It's been said many, many times before throughout history, but these are troubling times indeed.
