Israel:
The ‘Bleeding Wound’ of the US, Bringing about its Downfall By Sajjad
Shaukat (JR131SS22)
The former Soviet
Union which had subjugated ethnic and religious communities in various
provinces and regions through its military and intelligence agency KGB
disintegrated in 1991. Even, its nuclear weapons could not save its collapse.
One of the major causes of the disintegration of the former Russian Empire was
that its greater defence expenditures exceeded to the maximum, resulting in
economic crises inside the country. In this regard, about a prolonged war in
Afghanistan, the former President Gorbachev had declared it as the ‘bleeding
wound’. While learning no lesson, in one way or the other, the US has been
acting upon the similar policies which led to the demise of the Soviet Union.
In these terms, Israel is the bleeding wound of the US.
History of the post-Napoleonic
era in Europe proves that it is not possible to suppress the wars of liberation
through military terrorism. In that context, Prince Metternich, emperor of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire did what he could by subjugating the alien peoples by
employing every possible techniques of state terrorism. According to Indian
historian, Mahahin, Matternich had to admit that he was fighting for a useless
cause, and the empire disintegrated, resulting in the independence of Italy,
Bulgaria and other states whose secret societies had been waging wars of
liberation. Similarly, despite the employment of unlimited atrocities by the
President Milosevic, collapse of the former Yugoslavia could not be stopped.
Famous political
thinker, Morgenthau and others agree that a number of internal factors like
population, system of government, geographical location, economic output etc.
play a key role in formulating the foreign policy of a country. But, this
thesis is quite opposite to the United States where the Zionist Jews shape the
internal policies, while moulding American external policy in accordance with
their own interests, devoted to Israel.
Visibly or invisibly,
many big cartels of the world are owned by the Jews. By controlling the major
multinational corporations, arms factories, five star hotels, oil companies,
liquor business, food industries, technologies, mining and mineral resources,
banks, film industry, print and electronic media in the US in particular and
the world in general—having influence on the UNO, financial institutes like
World Bank, IMF through America, Jews have direct and indirect hold on the
global economy.
In this regard, many
intellectuals like Don Allen and others reveal, “The Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR) was founded in New York City by Col. Edward Mandell House (real
name: Haus–Jewish), chief adviser to President Woodrow Wilson, in league with
stockholders of the Federal Reserve Bank…was part of a conspiracy to gain
control of both US political parties to use them as instruments…seventy-three
percent of the members of the Council on Foreign Relations are Jews. There are
a number of organizations that comprise the Invisible Government that runs
America and the world…from behind the scenes. A Jewish group which is in
control of national governments and multinational corporations promotes world
government through control of the military, media, foundation grants and
education including NGOs…and controls and guides the issues of the day, and
thus they control most options available. They will manage the money, the land,
the food, and the guns of everyone in the world.”
The extent of Jewish
grip on the US Administration and American policies could also be judged from
the observation of Mike Stathis who, while quoting Senator William J., writes,
“The great majority of the Senate of the United States…somewhere around 80
percent…are completely in support of Israel, anything Israel wants.” And “without
the all out support by the US in money and weapons and so on the Israelis could
not do what they have been doing.”
The American Israel
Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is a lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel
policies to the Congress and Executive Branch of the United States. The New
York Times has described it as “the most important organization affecting
America’s relationship with Israel,” while other sources calls it “as one of
the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, DC, stating that it “acts as
an agent of the Israeli government with a stranglehold on the US Congress with
its power and influence.”
According to the
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, “It is long been clear that the pro-Israel,
ultra-Zionist network have absolute control over the United States. The idea
that our leaders are pursuing America’s vital national interests abroad…is a
myth.”
In the words of
Senator Fulbright, “Israel’s control over Washington has grown tremendously
like a malignant cancer…making the US as a puppet nation of Israel.”
However, after the
disintegration of the Soviet Union, American former President Bush (The Senior)
in connivance with his Zionist-advisers took the Islamic fundamentalism as a
great threat. Since then, sometimes, Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda have continuously
been used by the US and some Western countries as a scapegoat to malign Pakistan
for ‘de-nuclearisation’ as the latter is the only nuclear country in the Muslim
World, and to contain Iran’s nuclear programme which is for peaceful purposes
like energy production. Sometimes, bogey of Al-Qaeda was raised to achieve
their goals of foreign policy in the Middle East and sometimes to pacify their
public, including the opposition. In all cases, the secret purpose behind was
to safeguard the interests of the Zionist Jews and Israel.
Just after the 9/11
catastrophe, statements of the George W. Bush, high officials of his
administration and Zionist-controlled media deliberately developed chauvinism
and extremism among the Americans. There had been an organised campaign against
the Muslims in the US and other Western countries. Its main themes were that
Islam and the Muslims were the true cause of terrorism. Brushing aside the
Israeli atrocities on the Palestinians, American unity was projected with such
force as to allow no questioning of the US policy.
Bush warned the world
to choose sides by saying, “either you are with us or with terrorists.” It was
due to employment of pressure-diplomacy on the weak states—Muslim countries
like Pakistan, Indonesia, Libya etc., including almost all the Arab states
which joined Bush anti-terrorism war. By manipulating the 9/11 carnage, Bush
also got the sympathies of almost all the major Western countries, including
NATO states which also joined the fake global war on terror.
Nevertheless, in
order to fulfill the hidden agenda of Tel Aviv, the main aims of the Bush
administration were to provoke American public against the Muslims and to
justify global war on terror—the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq to possess
energy resources of Central Asia and Iraq, including proxy wars in other Middle
Eastern countries and to get their support for propaganda campaign especially
against Pakistan and Iran. Besides other actions of Bush era such as America’s
state-sponsored terrorism in the volatile Islamic countries, persecution of
Muslims through torture, detentions and arrests, CIA and FBI-operated
facilities, radicalising the Western Christians against the Muslims, while
providing a golden chance to India and Israel to accelerate the systematic genocide
of the Palestinians and Kashmiris—protecting the real architects of the 9/11
tragedy.
While, President
Barack Obama who had stated during his first election-campaign that he would
rectify the blunders, committed by his predecessor in the name of war on
terror, continued the same in their worst form to secure the illegitimate
interests of Israel. Obama-led Administration went on with various techniques
of ruthless terror and extrajudicial killings of the innocent persons through
illegitimate drone attacks—like Iraq, creation of more failed states such as
Libya, Yemen and Syria to open the doors for Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State
group (Also known as ISIS, ISIL and Daesh).
If the double game of
President Bush franchised Al-Qaeda on global level, President Obama’s dual
policy franchised both Al-Qaeda and ISIS as part of the anti-Muslim campaign
and left no stone unturned in advancing the agenda of the Zionist Jews, Israeli
lobbies and the neoconservatives in the pretext of phony Global War on Terror.
When in September
2015, Russian-led coalition of Iran, Iraq, the Syrian army-the National Defense
Forces (NDF) and Lebanon-based Hezbollah started breaking the backbone of the
ISIS terrorists, Al-Qaeda’s Al-Nusra Front and the rebels in Syria and Iraq.
Israeli Mossad which was already having clandestine contact with the ISIS
directed this outfit to plan the November 13 (2015) terror attacks in Paris in
connivance with the French home-grown militants. Similarly, when Russian-led
forces began retaking many cities from the control of these insurgents, on the
other side, agents of Mossad who were in collaboration with the CIA
sympathizers and the ISIL militants arranged various sorts of terror attacks in
Europe and the US.
Through all these false flag terror operations, the US
and Israel wanted to obtain their covert aims against Russia and the Muslims.
Mossad had also provided the US President Donald Trump with an opportunity to
manipulate various terror assaults of Europe and America to win the US
presidential election and to reunite America and Europe, as a rift was created
between America and its Western allies, especially Europe on a number of
issues, including NATO. And President Trump had left no stone unturned
in implementing anti-Muslim policies, while speaking openly against the Muslims
and Syrian immigrants. Trump had started exaggerating the threat of
Islamophobia, while, some incidents were not linked to ISIS, but were the
result of self-radicalization of the individuals.
To what extent
President Trump wants to obtain Israeli illegitimate goals at the cost of
Muslims and the patriot Americans could be judged from the terrorism-related
assaults which occurred in the Spanish city of Barcelona on August 17, 2017 and
in its town of Cambrils on August 18, 2017. After condemning the terror attacks
and offering US assistance to Spain, President Trump suggested “fighting
terrorism by executing Muslims with bullets dipped in pig’s blood.”
In case of Asia and
particularly South Asia, well-entrenched in Afghanistan and some Gulf states,
intelligence agencies such as CIA, Indian RAW, Mossad and MI6 are assisting
various terror outfits, including Al-Qaeda and particularly ISIL in order to
achieve the covert goals of the Israeli-led America against Pakistan, Syria,
Iraq, China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Somalia, Yemen etc. and even Afghanistan
which are being destabilized by various forms of terrorism-related assaults in
one way or the other.
In this connection, a
news item was published by all the leading dailies of Pakistan on October 8,
2017 regarding the statement of Afghanistan’s
former Afghan President Karzai who, while dismissing criticism of
Moscow’s ties with the Taliban and echoing Russian claims of American support
to the ISIS terrorists, told Voice of
America (VOC) that the United States has links
with terrorist ‘Islamic State’, also known as Daesh…Daesh a tool of
US…After it [the US] dropped the [mother of all] bomb on Afghanistan, it did
not eliminate Daesh…the terrorist group has been supplied weapons by the United
States forces…The US Army helicopters and army bases are being used to provide
assistance to ISIS terrorists…I do not differentiate at all between Daesh and
America…Reports of American assistance to the terrorists are coming from all
over the country.” (It also includes Karzai’s revelations to VOC of April 20,
2017 and Newsweek’s report of the same day).
Particularly, based
in Afghanistan, CIA, RAW and Mossad are in collusion, and are using the ISIS,
especially in destabilizing Pakistan and Afghanistan as part of the double game
of their countries. India and Israel want to prolong the stay of the US-led
NATO troops in Afghanistan which has become the center of their covert activities.
President Trump is also doing the same in connivance with New Delhi and Tel
Aviv. Now, the China-Pakistan Economic
Corridor (CPEC) is special target of these foreign intelligence agencies.
It is notable that
Afghanistan-based Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and ISIS which are being
backed by RAW, CIA and Mossad have claimed responsibility for several terror
assaults inside Pakistan and Afghanistan, including the recent ones.
It is of particular
attention that since the fundamentalist party BJP led by the Indian Prime
Minister Narindra Modi came to power in India, it has been implementing
anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan agenda. Encouraged by the BJP, assaults on
Muslims, Christians and on other minorities by the Hindu extremist parties
might be cited as instance. India which has strategic partnership with Israel
has perennially been manipulating the double game of the US-led West regarding
world phenomena of terrorism in connection with Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In wake of Modi’s
aggressive diplomacy, India has continued shelling in Pakistani side of Kashmir
which remains a nuclear flashpoint between both the neighbouring countries.
Nonetheless, apart
from affecting NATO countries and America’s other Western allies, the US cost
of Global War on Terror, particularly in Afghanistan has rapidly increased. It
also includes other states like Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Nigeria, Philippines
etc. where American military and CIA are indirec1tly involved.
In this respect,
quoting a report of Washington think tank-the Center for Strategic and
International Studies, CNBC and the New York Times pointed out in November 14, 2018:
“The U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria…have cost American taxpayers $5.9 trillion
since they began in 2001…more than 480,000 people have died from the wars and
more than 244,000 civilians have been killed as a result of fighting.
Additionally, another 10 million people have been displaced due to violence…In
addition to the money spent by the Pentagon, Crawford says the report captures the
war-related spending by the Department of State, past and obligated spending
for war veterans’ care, interest on the debt incurred to pay for the wars, and…response
to terrorism by the Department of Homeland Security…What’s more, longer wars
will also increase the number of service members who will ultimately claim
veterans benefits and disability payments. The U.S. government spent $4.1
trillion during fiscal year 2018, which ended Sept. 30, according to the
Treasury Department. Indeed, the West has largely failed to address the root
causes of terrorism that perpetuate seemingly endless waves of fighters who are
increasingly turning to armed drones, artificial intelligence and encrypted
communications to foil the allies’ conventional military superiority…the report
said, the slow pace of reconstruction in Iraqi cities like Ramadi, Falluja and
Mosul—once controlled by the Islamic State…has angered residents in those
Sunni-majority areas and made them more susceptible to militant entreaties. The
report also warns that withdrawing United States forces from Africa and the
Middle East—as the Pentagon has started to do—could serve as a boon to these
terrorist groups as the Trump administration shifts its national security
priorities to confront threats from Russia, China, North Korea and Iran…Americans
should understand that terrorism won’t end”, the report concluded, “even though
the terrorism threat may ebb and flow.”
The Bloomberg disclosed on September 13 and
December 14, 2018: “The U.S. posted the widest November budget deficit on
record as spending doubled revenue…The U.S. budget deficit widened to $898
billion in the 11 months through August, exceeding the Congressional Budget
Office’s forecast for the first full fiscal year under the Trump presidency…Revenue
from corporations fell to $163 billion, down by $71 billion from a year ago.
The U.S. fiscal gap has continued…raising concerns the country’s debt load, now
at $21.5 trillion, is growing out of control. The 2017 fiscal gap was $666
billion, up from $586 billion a year earlier, according to the Treasury
department. The CBO, a non-partisan congressional research body, estimated in
April that the budget deficit for the entire fiscal year would increase to $804
billion, before widening to $981 billion in fiscal 2019 and topping $1 trillion
in 2020.”
It is mentionable
that the war in Afghanistan is America’s longest military intervention which has
cost Washington nearly $1 trillion. That is why; America is directly talking to
the leaders of the Afghan Taliban in Doha-the capital of Qatar, as demanded by
the latter. In this context, reports suggested on January 26, this year that
after six days of intensive negotiations, Taliban leaders and US officials
meeting in Qatar appear closer to an agreement which could result in the
withdrawal of American troops after 18 years of war—it was pre-condition of the
Taliban. Zalmay Khalilzad, the US Special
Representative for Afghanistan reconciliation and Pakistan have been playing a
key role in this connection.
Now, President Trump has become lenient towards
Pakistan. Instead of blaming Islamabad for cross-border terrorism in
Afghanistan and emphasizing to ‘do more’ against terrorism, he is asking for
its assistance to ‘help more’ to pull out the US-led NATO forces from that
war-torn country.
Late last year, Trump
ordered a withdrawal of the roughly 2,000 American troops in Syria within 30
days, as American backed rebel groups and ISIS terrorists have been defeated
and almost entire Syria have been liberated by the Russian-led coalition.
It is noteworthy that on November 28, 2018,
rebuking the President Trump and his pro-Saudi policy, the US Senate through
a decisive majority voted to advance a measure to end US military support for
the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
President Trump has taken all the above mentioned
decisions owing to the rapidly-increase in America’s cost of these conflicts
abroad. But, he is too late.
Besides, President Donald Trump’s flawed external
policies have created a rift between America and its European partners.
Trump has strongly demanded that European NATO members, especially Germany, to
pay more for their joint defence. On the other side, German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron on January 22, this year said that
closer defence ties agreed in a new friendship treaty aim to build a
Franco-German “common military culture” and “contribute to the creation of a
European army.” The idea has sparked angry reactions from President Trump in wake of EU-US differences over WTO and abolition
of Iranian nuclear deal.
Earlier, President
Trump annoyed its Western allies by announcing ‘trade wars’, especially to
target China. In response, EU and China also took retaliatory decisions. Now,
taking the u-turn, he is reconsidering his strategy of trade wars and has shown
willingness to negotiate with Beijing.
In fact, it is the
result of Israeli-led strategy which Trump has blindly pursued that Washington
has lost bargaining leverage even on the small countries like North Korea,
Venezuela, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan which have rejected American coercive
diplomacy in relation to various issues.
Negative impact of ‘Turmpism’ inside America is also
notable, as there is a co-relationship of the US internal and external
policies. In this respect, CIA, FBI, Department of Homeland Security which are
working separately as “a state within a state” or “shadow Government” or “Deep
state means,” are also clandestinely working against one another. They do not
respond to the civilian political leadership-the President and the Congressmen
who are also fighting a war of nerves against each other. In this context,
President Trump ended the longest government shutdown, albeit
temporarily. As a result of the funding package, he signed on January 25, 2019
and the government will be open for three weeks. Mr. Trump failed to get$5.7 billion in federal funds for a US-Mexico border
wall.
President Trump is also continuously criticizing
media. Moreover, Trump’s fanatic policies have given a greater impetus
to racialism—white nationalist and neo-Nazi hate groups in wake of
intensification of domestic extremism in the US. He is also creating and leading
the ‘Christian Taliban’. It seems that the fundamentalist President Donald
Trump, will take the US to the “state of nature” when there was a war of “all
against all” in the sense of Thomas Hobbes. Such phenomena could also culminate
into a civil war in the US.
It is
worth-mentioning that the US is homeland of various communities, divided on
ethnic, religious and linguistic lines, having affiliations with their own
groups. In this connection, in his book, “Who Are We? The Challenges to
America’s National Identity,” Samuel Huntington opines, America was founded by
British settlers who brought with them a distinct culture…the English language,
Protestant values, individualism, religious commitment…the waves of immigrants
later came to the United States gradually accepted these values and assimilated
into America’s Anglo-Protestant culture. More recently, however, our national
identity has been eroded by the problems of assimilating massive immigration
from Latin America, especially Mexico might lead to the bifurcation of the
United States.”
Although President
Trump has started America’s disengagement from Global War on Terror-Syria,
Yemen and Afghanistan, yet he has founded the downfall of the United States.
The cost of these long-term military engagements purely in terms of dollar have
accelerated multiple problems of Americans, including casualties and
frustration in troops and their families, which is further adding to the
internal problems of America, particularly backfiring on the ordinary
Americans.
Returning to our
earlier discussion, the President Gorbachev had called Afghanistan a ‘bleeding
wound’ which culminated into collapse of the former Russia. In the same sense,
Global War on Terror which America started to secure the illegitimate interests
of Israel is moving it on the Soviet Union’s tract of disintegration. So, we
can conclude that in fact, Israel which is the ‘bleeding wound’ of the US is
bringing about its downfall.
