- The Turks did it! The world as we know it has changed
with the new-found independence of Turkey. Within one month, this erstwhile
American semi-colony under the charismatic leadership of Recep Erdogan
has made two strong moves that have brought it to the forefront of policy-making:
-
- Together with Brazil, Turkey has arranged and signed
the Tehran Declaration of a nuclear fuel swap deal with beleaguered Iran.
This declaration derails the Israeli plans of sanctioning Iran to death
prior to bombing it. The sanctions plan was already on its way to the Security
Council; allegedly Russia and China had been pressured to agree. At the
last moment, like a deus ex machina -- like Divine intervention in the
medieval theatre these two new great powers of Turkey and Brazil
entered the stage and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. All the
plotting of Israeli lobbyists in the US and Europe was wiped out in an
instant. Indeed, as the Muslims say: they plot, but Allah plots better.
-
- Israel received the news of the Turkey-Brazil-Iran agreement
as a heavy blow. "We were defeated by the crafty Turks and Iranians,"
read the headlines of Israeli newspapers. Not so fast. The US State Department
had tried to minimize the damage, effectively asking: "Who cares what
these lowlifes agree about? If we have decided to bomb somebody, bomb we
shall. We shall never allow facts to confuse us." Thomas Friedman
in the NYT was disappointed why "a Holocaust-denying thug" is
allowed to live. However, world policy-making has changed, and decisions
are not made exclusively in Washington, London or Moscow any more. Mid-size
countries regional powers are back in vogue, and it is much
better for all of us.
-
- Russia's position remains somewhat doubtful. There are
persistent rumours that Russia had agreed to support the sanctions despite
the Tehran swap deal declaration, and these rumours had caused President
Ahmadinejad to issue a strong warning. "We do not know whether Russia
is a friend or a foe", he said. 'Surely a friend', replied the Russian
foreign minister Mr Lavrov, adding that Russia is well pleased with the
Declaration and wishes it to succeed. Nothing is final in our world, but
meanwhile it seems that Turkey and Brazil, Erdogan and Lulu, succeeded
in killing the Israeli-American aggression plan.
-
- After derailing the sanctions against Iran, the indomitable
Turk sent his vessels to relieve the siege of Gaza. A whole flotilla of
small and medium boats is on its way to Gaza now, and among them, a large
boat from Turkey, accompanied by a boat bought and equipped by another
great friend of Palestine, Mahathir Mohammad of Malaysia.
-
- Free Gaza did sail boats to Gaza over the past two years
with differing results; they had some important persons aboard, notably
our friend, the wonderful Cynthia McKinney, but this is the first time
that the steering of this freedom regatta has passed from the hands of
nice European volunteers to the locals, to the peoples of the region. This
is a vast change, and a change that means a lot. While the Palestinian
cause was only the cause celebré of Europeans with conscience, it
was containable. Now, when it has become the concern of the local region,
the countdown for the freak Zionist mini-Empire has begun.
-
- And speaking of ships, there are clear signs that the
biggest ship of all, the United States of America, is turning as well.
Big ships cannot stop on a dime, advises the Nautical Almanac. They may
require as much as 5 miles to stop, with gears in full reverse. Big ships
may need 5-10 miles to turn. Now, what is true for supertankers and aircraft
carriers is equally true for America.
-
- By the time of Obama's inauguration, the Lobby had an
impressive influence over America, influence that some experts would define
as total control. The Lobby was closely connected with the Israeli right-wing
establishment. Its roots went deeply into the coffers of Wall Street. Its
fingers orchestrated the US media. Europe was in constant fear of the Jews.
-
- Within one year, the Lobby has lost much of its position:
-
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was publicly humiliated
and sent back home running from the White House's back door.
-
-
- President Obama uttered an unheard-of call for Israel
to join the NPT (nuclear non-proliferation treaty);
-
-
- The U.S. "accepted Arab demands to pressure Israel
over its atomic program".
-
-
- A secret historical document revealing Israel's attempt
to sell nukes to the South African Apartheid regime was published by the
Guardian.
-
-
- Threats have been sounding that the US will stop blocking
anti-Israeli resolutions in the Security Council.
-
-
- Jews are extremely unhappy with Obama, for Obama, in
his Inaugural address, mentioned Muslims ahead of Jews, "We are a
nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers."
(Read this craziest ever hilarious list of complaints!)
-
- It appears that President Obama is a cool customer, who
knows when to go forward and when it is good to wait. He probably has learned
how to catch the big fish. Meanwhile he is undoing the financial basis
of the Lobby.
-
- The Madoff affair was a painful attack of the Lobby's
purse. That criminal managed the funds of many Jewish organizations. For
mysterious reasons he admitted his crime, and the dominoes began to fall.
An old and venerable American Jewish Congress went down, as well as many
smaller bodies and individuals.
-
-
- For obscure reasons, Lehman Brothers was allowed to fall,
starting the financial crisis. Lehman Brothers was a prominent Jewish institution,
actually a reincarnation of the famous Kuhn, Loeb bank. It went down. Such
a collapse could not take place without the Obama Administration's blessing.
-
-
- Now there is a lasting and sustained attack on Goldman-Sachs,
one of the biggest and power-connected financial groups. Goldman-Sachs
was described by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz as an institution whose
list of partners reads like a list of East Side Synagogue donors, all Jewish.
Now there are daily reports of misdeeds and crimes committed by GS in the
US and elsewhere. GS can be tried, found guilty, dismantled and its executives
sued. If it goes down, and this is possible, the Lobby will find itself
in a harsh and inhospitable world. Obama is closely connected to GS, the
body that infiltrated all power structures, but apparently he is not going
out of his way to save them.
-
-
- In Israel, there is a feeling that the Dubai debacle
was played up by Obama. Israeli security services took a proper lashing
in Dubai. They had planned a small and neat trick: the assassination of
a Hamas official. But this crime provided Dubai with an opportunity to
out many Israeli spies, who apparently were using the Gulf merchant city
as their forward HQ in preparing an action against Iran. From Dubai, it
is possible to enter Iran even without passport control. Dozens of Israeli
spies weren't there just to kill a Hamas man; they were after bigger prey.
-
- Now, not only have they been outed, but the modus operandi
of Israeli services who cloned European and American passports wholesale
was made public as well. After the UK, Australia expelled an Israeli 'diplomat'
representative of theMossad. In France, where the Zionists were at peak
strength, now there are big changes. President Sarkozy (despite his Jewish
roots) has expressed his lack of patience with Israel. One of the best
known political writers of France, Regis Debray has published a book attacking
not just Israel, but even the French Jewish community and its synagogues
for their support of Israel. In the UK, a politician that has constantly
criticised Israel has become the deputy prime minister.
-
- In the old argument of Dog and Tail, the Dog decided
to downgrade the Tail, while the pathetic attempts of the Tail to order
the Dog around had failed miserably, and not for lack of trying. Apparently,
somewhere within the US establishment it was decided that the American
imperial interests are not being served by Israel, and moreover, that the
Jewish establishment has become too overbearing and bitchy for its own
good. It was decided that the Jewish shrew must be tamed, and so she shall.
-
- I doubt the Israeli wet dream of attacking Iran will
materialize now. The chances are 80 to 20 against such a move. However
we will have a storm warning: if and when Mrs Tsipi Livni joins the government,
the chances will go up to 50:50. Israel has never entered a war without
the substantial support of the left, and Mr Ehud Barak's presence is not
sufficient.
-
- Taming is not breaking. A cautious President Obama did
send signals that he is not looking for an all-out war with the organized
Jewry. He met with Elie Wiesel and comforted him. He invited more Jewish
leaders to the White House and at the same time he allowed Israel
to take a substantial beating. Obama is devious, observers in Israel feel;
he is playing a tricky game of embracing with one arm and pushing away
with another arm. It appears that there is a forthcoming weather change:
at least the older generation of Jewish leaders conservative, belligerent,
aggressive, suspicious, - will give way to a new generation, that of Dan
Axelrod, Rahm Emmanuel, J-street and the like. Whether it will be a change
of style or of substance, it is too early to say but style is substance,
too.
-
- Sure, this will not be enough for many of our friends.
People began to pour out their disappointment with Obama within 24 hours
of his inauguration. "Wot! A whole day has passed and the American
troops are not out of Iraq yet, Israel still gets American support and
the bankers are being bailed out?" However, this was to be expected.
The US was fully geared to go in a certain direction; even if Obama would
like to change course, it would take a longish time.
-
- An interesting sign of this change can be observed in
the Hollywood movie Prince of Persia. It is a fable of the Empire's assault
on an innocent state (the US attack of Iraq?). The assault was caused by
a bald Jewish-looking neo-con of a King's brother who lied and supplied
false information of WMD because he wanted to become the King. The bad
Neocon used evil assassins (surely Israelis?). Eventually the main character,
the Prince, born in the gutter and elevated by the King for his merit (Obama?)
stops the war, makes peace with the enemy, even marries the Princess.
-
- It was noticed that the US film industry often produces
films presaging changes in the policy. Bombing of Serbia, 9/11 and Afghan
war were shown in Hollywood movies before they occurred in real life. Judging
by the Prince of Persia, the childish Americans are being prepared to a
big change.
