America is new in the Middle East; to put it correctly, the US remains
for more than 60 years a novice. This alone illuminates the problem
perfectly well. America did not just fail in the Middle East; by
allying itself with those with whom the US should never be connected,
America – under either Republican or Democratic administration –
damaged severely the perspectives of diffusing the ideals of the
Founding Fathers in the area.
Today, America is in crash orbit with its own interests and
principles. For a superpower with so many experts and specialists,
academia, diplomatic and intelligence support, plus supreme
technological infrastructure, the forthcoming American disaster
becomes absolutely incomprehensible. Why this happened, and how it
can be terminated and remedied is a matter of a special study group.
At this very moment, America gives the impression that it believes in
anything, except the famous motto ‘e pluribus unum’; divided in several
different elites that function as cliques, the American establishment’s
wings are deeply involved in a suicidal assault against one another.
E pluribus plurii….
When the irresponsible Congresswoman Pelosi announced, prior to the US
mid-term elections, the First 100 Hours and the First 100 Days plans,
no one could imagine that political mendacity, ideological duplicity,
and un-historical hypocrisy would find a unique shelter in her mind. It
is worthy reading some excerpts of these infamous plans in order to
evaluate what the current Speaker truly delivered.
In the First 100 Hours plan, we read:
"The 100 Hour Agenda responded to a nation frustrated with years of
Congressional inaction, and took the initiative to address issues of
concern to America’s families. From the first day, the New Direction
Congress, with new leadership and working across party lines, set a
new course – one that gives more of us the opportunity to attain the
American Dream.
The new House worked across party lines to pass legislation to:
Make Americans safer here at home" ().
One may wonder how Americans will feel safer at home, when thanks
to Speaker Pelosi’s activities, Turkey, NATO’s second largest army,
is emphatically and obstinately induced to an alliance with Russia
and Iran.
In the First 100 Days plan, we read:
"The first 100 hours was just a beginning. In the first 100 days, we
addressed the most pressing issue of our time – the war in Iraq. And
on other immediate challenges, where there had been a failure to act,
this Congress stood up for the American people.
We honored our commitment to our veterans and troops, restored
investments in health care and education, gave long overdue aid to
the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and worked to restore
accountability in government. We have a fiscally responsible budget
that reflects the values of the American people.
The new House passed legislation to:
Strengthen our National Security and Provide a New Direction in Iraq
Support the troops and oppose an open-ended commitment to the
President’s failed strategy in Iraq-calling for responsible
redeployment of most U.S. troops by August 31, 2008.
Require the President to ensure troops meet Defense Department
standards for training, equipment, and length of deployment.
Hold the Iraqi government accountable to meet the President’s
benchmarks for progress".
All these funny words look tragically devoid of meaning if viewed
in the light of the motion passed a few days ago in a US House of
Representatives committee, recognizing Armenian allegations of genocide
directed against Turkey as truth. What does Pelosi suggest as regards
"the values of the American people"?
Is historical forgery prepared by colonial France and England taken
at face value by the supposedly anti-racist Democrats?
On what grounds can the country that placed the US citizens of Japanese
origin in quarantine during WW II pass a law to describe as Genocide
a similar political act carried out by the Ottoman Empire in WW I?
How will US National Security be strengthened with the forthcoming
rise of tension between the US and Turkey?
And what is supposed this New Direction in Iraq to be made of? Will
PKK terrorists be members of the Iraqi government as well?
Consequences – the emerging multi-polar world
The motion passed in a US House of Representatives committee more
than an insult on the face of a long date loyal friend consists in
the best evidence that America has become ungovernable; revelation
of unprecedented cacophony, the act testifies to the real lack of
American national strategy and policy in the sense this term has had
for traditional European powers, France, England and Russia.
This increases the fear for forthcoming developments of global impact
that will have the stamp of disastrous decisions made by groups of
interest that do not take into consideration America’s real interests
but impose – through various biases – theirs on one of the various,
opposite to one another, wings of the disoriented American elite.
Not only a cacophonous, self-conflicting and disoriented power is
virtually unable to meet the needs of a War against the Terrorism, but
it is also subject to generalized disregard. The ostensible symptoms
of America 2007 are those of an advanced disarray; this means that
second class powers like Turkey, Iran and Pakistan can easily cause
serious damages to the US interests, and that even minor countries
and groups of interests can exercise an influence on America, and/or
promote their interests even if America is officially opposed to them.
The unilateral world in which we have lived for ca. 20 years seems
to have reached its end, and the emerging multi-polar world seems
to have more affinities with the last decade of the Belle Epoque
than with the post-World War II period. European divisiveness makes
available at least six (6) powers, Germany, France, England, Italy,
Spain and Poland. The great Euro-Asiatic space adds to the list
many influential – or very influential – countries: China, Japan,
India, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan. To all these countries, one
is inclined to add Australia, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, and
eventually South Africa. It is clear that among the aforementioned
we do not include impoverished realms like Indonesia, Bangladesh,
Nigeria, etc.; population is not a determinant parameter. The result
is that around the ailing US giant, we see no less than 19 countries
competing for sizeable Lebensraum and a greater sphere of influence.
In a world with 20 significant nations, but not a clear demarcation
of alliances and groups of power, even middle size countries are
facilitated to play an important role in the World Politics. This
automatically defines the best possible conception of the interests
of a country like Turkey, when conflicting with America.
Turkey
Turkey has been severely and irreversibly annoyed by the
inconsistencies of the US politics; certainly Turkey can influence
the US policy making procedure through traditional lobbying methods;
the question is whether this is still necessary.
In guise of reaction to the motion related to the fallacious
‘Armenian Genocide", Turkey recalled its ambassador in Washington,
Nabi Þensoy. Most recently, members of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs
Committee and Turkish diplomats declined a dinner invitation from US
Ambassador to Turkey Ross Wilson.
Turkey has also been greatly preoccupied with the discreet middlemen,
who managed to provide the PKK criminal and totalitarian gangsters with
US weapons. While this is a real fact, the American administration
insisted on nebulous promises of cooperation against the terrorist
organization that never achieved anything more than filling some
space on newspapers and web pages.
In vain the Turkish premier called last Friday the devious, paranoid
and ultimately impotent US administration to reason, saying: "We expect
the coalition forces in Iraq, above all the Americans, to take steps in
the current situation. These steps must be taken to ensure we get good
results in the fight against the terrorist organization in northern
Iraq. We expect things from the United States rather than from Iraq".
The American direct answer to the Turkish premier was a Kurdish ambush
in the early morning on Sunday near the Iraqi border in which killed
12 Turkish soldiers have been killed.
US sarcasm?
The American indirect answer was given by the comical and otherwise
insignificant figure of Jalal Talabani, supposedly "President of Iraq",
who explicitly refused to hand over top leaders of the outlawed PKK
to Turkey. As this occurred a few days after the equally comical
"Iraqi" premier has promised to shut down PKK camps in the country’s
mountainous north and to extradite leaders of the terrorist group,
Turkey should realize that it consists in sheer American sarcasm. This
is highlighted by the vocabulary of the burglar Talabani: "The handing
over of PKK leaders to Turkey is a dream that will never be realized".
Without American consent and French support, Talabani would have
never spoken in this way; quite indicative is also the occasion on
which Talabani said this, namely a joint meeting – conference held
in Arbil with the participation of the other Kurdish thief and tyrant
of the Mesopotamian North, Massoud Barzani.
While the Turkish military and political establishment ponders on
the possible reactions to either a Congress vote for the fallacious
Armenian genocide or a deterioration of the national security on the
border zone with Iraq, through several Turkish officials’ interviews,
we get some idea about possible choices, namely shutting down Ýncirlik
Airbase, and restricting US use of the Habur border gate with Iraq,
which are two main supply routes the US uses for troops in Iraq.
While the skeptics become less numerous and further isolated,
one of them, Vahit Erdem, who heads the Turkey group in the NATO
Parliamentary Assembly, said: "The relationship cannot handle more
strain. If this happens, it could be damaging both for Turkey and
for the US. The two countries should avoid acting emotionally and
retreat from this mistake".
This does not consist in any logical approach, being relevant of
the so-called "ostrich politics": the US establishment is managed
and maneuvered in a way that makes it follow a clash orbit for which
Turkey should go with greater speed in order to keep an advantage.
What to do?
Quite reasonably, the Deputy Chairman of the main opposition party CHP,
Onur Oymen, criticized the prime minister for putting the issue off
until the planned Bush-Erdoðan meeting on November 5. "Turkey should
say openly what it would do if the resolution is passed," he said in
an interview. Oymen went on reminding his audience that when the US
imposed an embargo against Turkey after the 1974 military operation
on Cyprus, Turkey cut US access to military bases within its borders.
We agree only with the second half of Onur Oymen’s statement; yes,
Turkey must react, yes Turkey has the right to react, and yes, the US –
Turkey partnership has no more value, if the US is not fully committed
to it – at least to the extent Turkey has been. But Turkey should not
"say openly what it would do". Saying without doing equals threat;
when conspirators like those targeting the US – Turkish relationship
take notice of a threat verbally expressed, they have the advantage
to know the enemy’s targets, and can therefore try to prevent them.
It must be clear that the Apostate Freemasonic Lodge that first
targeted Turkish Secular State and then sought to destroy Turkey’s
national integrity has an entire array of means to pressure. They
can use the Arabic trash against Turkey, due to the fact that the
ridiculous bogus-kings and pseudo-princes, along with the dictatorial
presidents, have been precisely fabricated as slaves to their
Freemasonic European masters.
Invade Northern Iraq now!
The best way for Turkey to act is to act now, before November 5, and
before the snow covers the mountainous Zagros mountains that consists
in the subterfuge of the abundantly subsidized PKK, anti-Turkish,
anti-Armenian, anti-Aramaean, anti-Zaza, anti-Yazidi, anti-Sorani,
and anti-Iranian gangsters.
No, Turkey should not "say openly what it would do"; Turkey should
openly do it. The Turkish invasion must be a 24-hour promenade to
Zakho, Dohuk, Mosul, Arbil, Sulaymaniyah, Sanjar, and Kirkuk. It
must get the support of all the tyrannized by Barzani nations, ethnic
and religious groups of Northern Mesopotamia. It must be immediately
accompanied by a solemn announcement that will confirm the annexation
of the territories, the forthcoming referenda and elections, and the
proclamation of Aramaic, Zaza, and Sorani as official languages.
America became acquainted with the Iraqi rebellion, with the
instability of Afghanistan, with the Civil War in Somalia, and with
the perspective of an Iranian nuclear bomb. With so many dead in Iraq,
America will have an opportunity to get a lesson or two from Turkey
on how to pacify a land.
With a subsequent multipartite Conference on Caucasus (Turkey,
Russia, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Iran), a second effort of
pacification should be launched in order to promote development and
democratization process in the Caucasus region as well.
America will not react to the Turkish invasion of Northern Iraq;
not because the US cannot react, but because the multi-divided US
establishment is confused enough not to react anymore.
Nations like Turkey, Brazil and South Africa should act from now on
without considering the eventuality of an American reaction. Without
ignoring the counterbalance that China and Russia may offer to eventual
US threats against the Turkish invasion of Northern Iraq, Turkey should
consider ways to revive the very old and most valuable partnership
with Germany, not within European environment but at a global scale.
