By: Peter Beinart As Europe takes the lead on the Libyan intervention, it’s a powerful signal of America’s weakening global influence.
Some commentators love the Libya war; others hate it. But most agree that it’s profoundly unnatural that we were pushed into it by…France. Welcome to the post-American world. In the age we’re entering, most of the time, the choice will no longer be between humanitarian interventions controlled by the United States and humanitarian interventions where other nations take the lead. The choice will be between humanitarian interventions where other nations take the lead and no humanitarian interventions at all.
A comparison with the 1990s illustrates the point. In the early 1990s, when the former Yugoslavia began breaking up, and Slobodan Milosevic decided to try to put it back together via genocide, the governments of Western Europe insisted that they would handle things. But they couldn’t handle things, partly because of their disunity and military weakness, and partly because they refused–in a clash of civilizations sort of way–to make clear moral distinctions between the murderers and the murdered. In the summer of 1995, when the Clinton administration–after more than two years of deference–forced the Europeans into a humanitarian war against the Serbs, then-Lieutenant General Wesley Clark exulted “The big dog barked today.”
Back then, the big dog was not fighting any other wars. It was unchallenged in East Asia; its economy was beginning to boom and its fiscal problems were melting away. And even then, Americans only supported the Bosnia war, and its kid brother Kosovo, on the condition that no Americans died.
Today, by contrast, America’s fiscal condition is terrifying and the Pentagon is fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, trying to stay out of one with Iran, and keeping one eye on a rising China. I don’t know what it took to convince an obviously reluctant Robert Gates to permit American involvement in the Libyan no-fly zone, but it’s a reasonable bet that had Barack Obama not been able to promise that it would be a mostly European affair, Gates would now be a military analyst on Fox News. It’s not the 1990s anymore. The American public’s appetite for humanitarian war has always been meager. And now the American government’s capacity for waging it is meager, too.
But in a strange twist, Europe’s appetite has grown. The continent’s military capacity is still tiny compared to America’s, and it still lacks unity, but the shame of European inaction in Bosnia lingers in British, French, Italian, and German minds. Overall, Western Europeans remain more dovish than Americans, but when it comes to genocide, the gap narrows. In the U.S., for instance, anti-terrorism is the only rationale that sustains public support for the Afghan War. In Europe, by contrast, the humanitarian argument sells best.
Libya is also a Mediterranean country. For France and Italy, it’s the equivalent of Mexico, or at least Guatemala. Economically, geopolitically, and culturally, Europe is also the dominant outside force. European countries, especially Southern European ones, have a lot more to gain, and lose, in Libya than we do, so it’s normal–indeed, healthy–that they’re trying to take the military lead.
Whether they’ll be able to–whether they have the capacity and stomach for what it would take to push Gaddafi from power–is another question. But it’s not surprising that Barack Obama is giving them a chance to try. Obama is what you might call a roundabout Jeffersonian. Jeffersonians, to borrow Walter Russell Mead’s phrase, believe that preserving America’s economic and political solvency requires reining in American empire. Presidents usually become Jeffersonian in times of economic crisis, public exhaustion, and unpopular war. The problem is that Jeffersonianism–which in different ways both Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter embraced as a result of Vietnam–is perilous politics. Retrenchment can look a lot like cynicism, if not defeatism.
The White House’s humanitarian hawks don’t want a Srebrenica on their watch, but they know they need other countries to bear more of the load. Enter Nicolas Sarkozy.
So Obama is trying to do it on the sly, to reduce the costs of American foreign policy without reining in our ambition. In Afghanistan, he’s moving inexorably toward greater reliance on drones–just as Nixon turned to air power in the latter stages of Vietnam–because it’s cheaper in blood and treasure. And he’s trying to burden-share, just as Nixon tried to get regional allies like South Vietnam and the shah’s Iran to do more of the work of containing the USSR. The Libya operation is a good example of this. The White House’s humanitarian hawks don’t want a Srebrenica on their watch, but they know they need other countries to bear more of the load. Enter Nicolas Sarkozy.
Will it work? Beats me. But it’s an illusion to believe we could have done this the old way. One of the crucial questions of our age is whether America’s liberal ideals can flourish despite the decline of American power. Libya will be one of the places we find out.

By: Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis [ Enlarge ] Due to orchestrated misinformation which has been overwhelmingly diffused worldwide over many successive decades, the global public opinion has been left in mysteries as regards the root causes of the interminable Middle Eastern conflicts.
For the perpetrators of the misinformation campaign to achieve their targets, the easiest way was to create an entirely fake scene of theater with the opponents plunged in ignorance about their true identity. The introduction of new identities was not a process to be completed in a few years. In fact, it took more than one century to complete the preliminary stage.
Effectively, accurate information can be quickly and easily obtained by anyone seeking to understand the Oriental problem. Above all, it’s a problem of fallacious terms, fake identities, ideas projected on enemies, and prevailing confusion. In fact, the entire problem hinges on the Anglo-French colonialism and expansionism at the prejudice of the Ottoman Empire that before just 212 years controlled the entire are between Morocco and Iran, every territory between Caucasus and the Horn of Africa, and all lands stretching between Oman and Austria.
To destroy the Ottoman Empire, the Freemasonic, Anti-Christian regimes of England and France introduced a wide range of tactics, establishing a link between the academic disciplines of Humanities (mainly specialized in the various provinces of the Ottoman Empire, Iran and Mogul India) and the political – military intelligence. From this successfully financed project emanated many fake terms that did not exist before and are indeed by themselves meaningless.
These terms would subsequently be “exported” (along with the entirely fake interpretation of the past and present, which was coined as “Orientalism” and accommodated in many disciplines) to selected youth, mostly belonging in minorities and /or targeted ethno-religious groups; this colonial policy was geared to make the targeted groups believe a version of History totally opposite to the reality and absolutely unfavorable to the interests of the world Islam and the Ottoman Empire.
Exemplary fake terms are precisely the nonsensical “Middle East,” “Near East” and “Far East” that define vast circumferences as per their position with respect to another area, namely “Western Europe” which is considered — idiotically and discriminatorily — as the “center”. In fact, there is no Middle East; “Middle” as per what? “Near East” is another fake term to describe parts of the Ottoman Empire in Western Asia, and with more frequent use for periods of the Antiquity.
If fake geographical and chronological terms set the stage for chaos and drama, it is sure that fabricated ethnic / national terms make it possible for thunderstorms to gather.
Arabs vs. Israel: Two Fake Terms for a Century of Conflicts and Bloodshed
Most of the people allover the world imagine that all troubles in the so-called area of the Middle East are due to the Arab — Israeli conflict. There is no more inaccurate and more false perception of events and developments than this.
In fact, the so-called Arabs are not Arabs, and the so-called Israelis are totally unrelated from Israel.
This reality has been systematically kept under silence by the Anglo-French Freemasonic academia (the Orientalists) and diplomacy.
Arabs exist only in Hedjaz — There is no Arab outside Arabia.
In fact, throughout the Atlas (Morocco, Mauritania, Algeria and Tunisia), Libya, Niger and Mali, the totality of the local populations are Hamitic Berbers (Amazigh) and Tuaregs. Either they speak both languages, Amazigh and Arabic, or only one of them, they are Berbers who came to (eventually) learn Arabic because they accepted Islam. This phenomenon involved can therefore be described as linguistic arabization, and it has no impact on the ethnic or cultural levels.
Similarly, in Egypt, the bulk of the population are Egyptians, namely Copts who at a certain moment accepted Islam, and have been progressively arabized at the linguistic level.
The Nubians either in Egypt or in Sudan speak Nubian and Arabic, but have never been arabized; Arabic is merely their religious language.
The Sudanese Arabic speaking people (ca. half the country’s population) are not Arabs either; they are Kushites (indigenous in Ancient Sudan, which was called Ethiopia by the Greeks and the Romans) who, after being Christianized (4th — 5th century CE), progressively accepted Islam (9th — 16th century CE), and learned Arabic.
The Yemenites and the Omanis are not Arabic either; they are descendents of the Ancient Yemenites and Omanis, and Mahrani, Soqotri and Dhofari (the latter in Oman) are the surviving forms of the pre-Islamic Yemenite languages that have been mercilessly persecuted by Yemen’s and Oman’s colonial Pan-Arabist regimes in the same way Amazigh has been mosntrously discriminated in NW Africa.
Finally, the central part of the Ottoman provinces, today’s pseudo-states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the Emirates are not inhabited by Arabs but Aramaeans who have been linguistically arabized following their islamization (7th — 18th century CE).
In all these cases, the different modern idioms used (and falsely called as Modern Arabic dialects) are different linguistic amalgamations of the aforementioned (different per area) indigenous languages with Arabic. Furthermore, the official languages used in the administration and the mass media originate from a fabricated form of Modern Arabic that was composed in the 19th and early 20th century in Egypt (the Ottoman province that was under colonial tutelage longer than any other). Useless to add, the various dialects are totally disdained as “slang” by the Pan-Arabist regimes, and consequently all these populations do not truly have a national language of their own.
Useless to add that ethnic amalgamation did not truly take place following the Islamic expansion, as the Freemasonic Anglo-French forgers have long pretended, because the Arabs, who moved out of Hedjaz and settled in various parts of the early Caliphate, were very few if compared with the local populations. The total population of Arabia at the times of Prophet Muhammad was less than the population of just one significant Egyptian, Aramaean, Persian or Roman city.
The so-called State of Israel is a fake; its correct name is Judah
On the other hand, the Jews who returned to Palestine according the Zionist plan have nothing to do with the Ancient Israelites, who after Solomon’s death (930 BCE) formed the Northern Hebrew state Israel with ten (10) tribes and capital at Samaria; the Jews are the descendents of the Southern Hebrew state Judah (with two tribes and capital at Jerusalem) that was taken to exile at Babylonia by Nebuchadnezzar (587 BCE), returned to Judea after the Persian invasion of Babylonia (539 BCE), setup a state (named Judah) that was finally annexed by the Romans, who after the suppression of the Jerusalem revolt, dispersed them out of that land.
Contrarily with the Jews, the Israelites, the ten tribes of the Northern state had been taken to exile by the monotheist emperor of Assyria Sharrukin, relocated at the north-easternmost confines of the Assyrian empire (721 BCE) and thence migrated to the northwest (ca. 640 BCE), along with the entire population of the Assyrians, who were the ruling elite of the immense empire. After the end of Assurbanipal’s reign (625 BCE), Assyria soon collapsed (614, 612, 609 BCE), and the invading Babylonian armies found only a few Assyrian garrisons. Assyrian was never written after 612 BCE because simply there were no Assyrian scribes and people in the wider area of Mesopotamia; the same is valid for the Israelites who remained known as the ten lost tribes. According to Biblical prophecies, they will return at the End of Times — but of course this concerns them, not the Jews who never lost their identity, language and religion.
As a matter of fact, the Biblical precision is absolutely sufficient of its own, and one needs vicious religious swindlers and preachers of Satan to manage to have it greatly altered and widely misunderstood.
The prefabricated pseudo-return of the Zionist Jews in Palestine has been totally disregarded by all Biblical prophecies that do not speak of it at all — in striking contrast with what preach today various Evangelicals and other pseudo-Christians who, hiding their evil Freemasonic identity, emphatically pretend that Christians have to be tolerant toward the Jews. Of course, these false prophets are disqualified by 2000 years of genuinely anti-Jewish Christianity, as a matter of fact, they deserve no further effort of refutation.
Freemasonic Trickery “Arabs vs. Israel”: A 19th Century Machination
The Freemasonic Anglo-French plan of decomposition of the Ottoman Empire was the World History’s most execrable, most perverse, and most ominous plan and deed. In fact, it turned the vast area ruled in peace by the Ottoman Empire to an interminable chain of vicious conflicts, hysterical hatred, inhuman rancor, and bestial vindictiveness that will all be taken into account in the forthcoming, merciless dismantlement of the wicked, pseudo-Christian Western world.
The different inhabitants of the targeted and threatened Ottoman provinces, even if these provinces were detached for some time (illegal occupation of Egypt by the French in 1798 — illegal proclamation of vice-royalty by Muhammad Ali who was totally rejected by the entire religious establishment of Al Azhar and all the Egyptians — illegal disembark of the French at Algiers in 1830), would soon make revolution against the French (and their pseudo-enemies, the English who played their role hypocritically pretending to oppose the French but having in mind to further engulf the Ottoman Empire into wrong policies and catastrophic tactics) in order to eliminate the inimical presence from their lands.
To avert an indigenous reaction and revolution that would drive them away, and to plan for hundreds of years of supremacy and exploitation, the Anglo-French had to
a. systematically carry out practices of extensive financial corruption and bribery in order to force individuals with weak personality to deviate and betray their own country, e.g. the Ottoman Empire, and
b. compose a vast cultural — socio-behavioural — educational — academic — intellectual — ideological system of alteration that, without making of the locals true anthropological copies of the Anglo-French citizens (already devious from Christianity due to the already effectuated Freemasonic penetration of the Western European societies), would condemn them to a permanent socio-behavioural — educational — cultural — academic impasse that would later make the local societies explode.
Then started the extensive practice of “Bon pour l’ Orient” which means that for every sector of knowledge in Orientalism there would be three levels of conclusions:
1. the disturbing truth — this would become known to the Anglo-French Freemasonic Orientalists, researchers and explorers but would be kept hidden for all the rest, due to its catastrophic impact for the Freemasonic olans, if publicly and widely admitted.
2. the ordinary falsification of truth — this would be diffused / disclosed by the Freemasonic Orientalist scholars in order to become widely known as an element of academic knowledge, average education and public culture of the Western citizens; and
3. the advanced distortion of the truth — this would be diffused among students originating from the colonized countries, detached provinces of the Ottoman Empire, African territories, Iran, India, China, etc., in order to make of them perfect tools in the hands of their dishonest professors and the respective diplomats back in the students’ countries; the latter would support the students and help them obtain positions in their own pseudo-countries in order to thus continue the “official” diffusion of the Orientalist distortion and associated theoretical falsehood.
The Fabrication of Pan-Arabism
Long before driving Michel Aflaq to the point of preaching Ba’athism and Arab nationalism (for those who were not Arabs), the Anglo-French Orientalists had to and did effectively create the fake “Arab” of theirs, in Alexandria, Algiers and Beirut first.
Before Napoleon’s arrival, no one among the various populations of the Ottoman Empire from Mosul to Khartoum and from Oman to Algiers considered themselves as Arabs, except of course the inhabitants of Hedjaz and the desert Najd; for more than two centuries (17th and 18th), numerous English and French travelers moved throughout the Ottoman Empire and reported about the prevailing situation in the vast territory.
It is not by coincidence that Napoleon traveled to Egypt (1798) secretively and accompanied by an unprecedented number of French scholars, researchers, explorers and engineers. The hit against the Ottoman Empire had been planned to be multifaceted. These same scholars examined the prevailing situation and compared it with the earlier collected data.
Islamic Disintegration and Ottoman Decadence due to Ibn Taimiya
Their conclusion was true; by miracle, Islam did not exist anymore! Certainly, the outright majority of the inhabitants were looking like Muslims, praying five times per day and fasting in Ramadan, but the driving force of the Islamic world, namely the Islamic science, the Islamic philosophy, the Islamic knowledge, the Islamic art had disappeared. In their place, a barbaric pseudo-theological system had become predominant, plunging the entire society into absolute barbarism, ignorance, disregard for the art, philosophy and knowledge, and — worse — hatred for science (even for what Islamic science had been for more than 1100 years). This minimalist, genuinely un-Islamic, system imposed total disrespect for the “Other” and, even more catastrophically, absolute indifference for what Islam had been as a theoretic — intellectual — cultural — academic system.
For the — apparently pseudo-Muslim — sheikhs who were in control of the widely analphabetic masses, this fake Islam was just limited in the Quran and the Hadith (Prophet Muhammad’s sermons and admonitions, interpretations and discourses). This paranoid system imposed a catastrophic “model,” namely the tiny and unimportant village of Mecca of the times of the Prophet, and not the greatness of Baghdad of Harun al Rashid or other magnificent centers acknowledged for scientific, cultural, intellectual and political supremacy and prestige at the times of the Islamic Golden Era, such as Seville, Granada, Samarqand, Kairouan, Ghazna, Maragheh, Caesarea, Ganja, Delhi, Cairo, Soltanieh, Bukhara, Shiraz, Esfahan, Konya, Damascus, etc. It was clear that the ignorant and uneducated sheikhs were determined to reduce their audience to absolute imbecility in order to easily control them. They therefore discredited by themselves and with no restrain the quasi-totality of the Islamic phenomenon that they ignored beforehand.
Certainly the environment around the Sultan in Istanbul was different, but the influence of these sheikhs was predominant there too, reducing every interest for science, knowledge, art and philosophy to extreme. It was clear that a very negative theological system had prevailed, eliminated all the rest, and threatened the entire phenomenon of Islamic Civilization with extinction and the imperial elite (the Sublime Porte) with overthrowing. Of course, they would never terminate the Caliphate, but by controlling the key position of Sheikhulislam and by getting involved in the education process of the Sultan’s sons, princes and crown princes, these ignorant, barbaric and virtually un-Islamic sheikhs could almost control the Ottoman Empire from within.
Today we know that this system started with Islam’s most idiotic, execrable and filthy “theologian” Ibn Taimiyah, a crypto-Christian who intentionally attempted to aptly de-Islamize and covertly Christianize Islam. Ibn Taimiyah’s imprisonment (based on accusations for anthropomorphism) is certainly one of the most unfortunate moments of the Islamic History; he should have been lynched in streets and cut to pieces alive as the worst enemy of the Islamic Civilization, and as a determined and accomplished Satanist.
It is questionable whether the early European travelers and Orientalists really identified the origins of the system they were confronted with in the daily life throughout the late 18th – early 19th century Ottoman Empire. But of course, this would matter little to them. What was of primordial importance was the fact that the situation offered them an otherwise unexpected and greatly important tool of decomposition of the Ottoman Empire.
The Projection of the Theory of Nation throughout the Ottoman Empire
To first destabilize and then destroy the Ottoman Empire, the Anglo-French Freemasons used the same tools that they had already used against the “absolutist” monarchies; the replacement of the concept of “subject” with that of “citizen,” and the diffusion of the early form of liberal (John Locke) and/or romantic (Johann Gottfried Herder) nationalism, which was closely associated with the theory of “public sovereignty”.
The imaginative concept of the “nation” was effectively used by the Anglo-French and their agents and puppets in the various targeted parts of the Ottoman Empire in order to create fictional nations that would be (due to their elites who were “educated” in Paris and London) perfect tools of destruction of the Ottoman Empire. In South Balkans, Albanians, Southern Slavs, and Vlachians were suitably described as “Greeks”. A modern Greek language was fabricated on the basis of the Common Alexandrian Greek dialect of the Late Antiquity (New Testament Greek) and brutally imposed on all the unfortunate populations that happened to be enclosed within the borders of the so-called “Greek” state in 1829.
The formation of the concept of ?Arab’ started in Alexandria after Muhammad Ali (an Albanian origin officer from the Macedonian province of the Ottoman Empire) was supported by the Anglo-French to covertly detach from Sultan’s control a land that was not his.
The concept of “Arab” incorporated all the socio-behavioural attributes that the Anglo-French Orientalists (had) attested in the local populations. Indeed, the socio-behavioural parameter of concept of “Arab” is far stronger than the linguistic one. This happens because the socio-behavioural parameter is an absolutely fictional element.
The socio-behavioural attributes of the populations first encountered by the Anglo-French Orientalists in Alexandria, Egypt and the Phoenician coast were
1. neither original (Egyptian or Phoenician)
2. nor Islamic (as attested in many places during the Golden Era of Islam)
3. nor Arab (as attested in Arabia before Prophet Muhammad).
They were merely degenerated attributes and elements of a socio-behavioural system heavily influenced by the diffusion of the barbarizing system of Ibn Taimiya (1263 – 1328).
Here, it is essential to stress two critical points:
1. Due to the preaching of Islam by Prophet Muhammad among the Arabs, the marginal nation of Arabia have been culturally, religiously, spiritually, intellectually, and socio-behaviourally de-arabized and overwhelmingly aramaeanized (in the sense that the Aramaean culture and socio-behavioural system had incorporated Biblical and New Testamentary beliefs, narratives, concepts, ideals and values).
However, Muhammad failed to totally uproot the pre-Islamic barbarism of the Arabs (effectively coined as Jahiliyyah) and when rejection against the Prophet became impossible to utter (after Muhammad’s return to Mecca), the real opponents of Islam went hiding as Muslims and started diffusing (within Islamic theoretical context) various anti-Islamic concepts that were difficult to detect as they evolved around issues pertaining to Arab identity and socio-behavioural system.
2. For many centuries after Islam’s early diffusion, several concepts and elements of Arab identity and socio-behavioural system (considered as explicit barbarism by the true Muslims either they were of Arab or non-Arab origin) survived within Islam because they repeatedly became effective tools at the hands of Muslim theologians who were virtually anti-Islamic but dared not refute Islam in public. Amalgamated with a strong dose of conservatism, tribalism, and excessive anti-dialectical (kalam) theorizing, Ahmed ibn Hanbal’s system became the recipient of all anterior forms and surviving concepts of Arab socio-behavioural system.
Ahmed ibn Hanbal (780 – 855) was never considered as an important theologian while alive, back at the times of Islam’s Golden Era; he was marginal and despised as of extremely poor skills in philosophy; this was the reason of his anti-dialectical diatribes. He was imprisoned as he was considered as threat against the progress and the prosperity of the Islamic Caliphate, and as a menace for the Islamic Civilization. If he is today considered as the founder of one of the four important schools of Islamic Jurisprudence, this is due to the fact that Ibn Taimiya himself was a Hanbalite, and the diffusion of Ibn Taimiya theological doctrine strengthened the system from which it originated.
The aforementioned makes it clear that the socio-behavioural attributes of the populations that the Anglo-French Orientalists first encountered in 18th — 19th century Alexandria, Egypt and Phoenician coast were degenerated and perverted elements that constituted a dramatic drawback for the Islamic Civilization, an unstoppable decadence for the Ottoman Empire, and an inevitable destruction for the nation whose profile would be composed around them.
The nationalist concept of the “Arab”
This was precisely what the Anglo-French Orientalists, researchers and diplomats managed to carry out; they cultivated these socio-behavioural attributes that clearly belong to nomadic people of the pre-Islamic era. The most uneducated aspect of Arab Bedouin was therefore promoted to “expression of identity” for the Aramaeans of Damascus and Baghdad, the Phoenicians of Beirut and Lattakiyeh, the Egyptians of Alexandria, and the Berbers of Algiers. This was the epitome of the Anglo-French evildoing.
The formation of the nationalist concept of the “Arab” evolved around the following axes that had been elaborated by the Anglo-French Orientalists and diplomats:
1 – Accentuated disregard for the pre-Islamic past of their native lands — for all populations targeted with the “Arab national identity projection” plan.
This occurred of course in striking contrast with the Anglo-French attitude toward “nations” that they planned to promote and help expand, such as Greeks, Serbs, Armenians, Persians, Abyssinians; among these “nations,” the Anglo-French Orientalists promoted an excessive interest for the falsified past, a real archaeolatry, and diffused falsified versions of History that intentionally and distortedly over-magnify the said nations’ past.
Indicatively, suffice it to state here that the disregard of the Egyptian past, which was triggered in Egypt by the Angklo-French, had as result that for more than 100 years after Champollion deciphered Egyptian Hieroglyphics, there was not a single Egyptian scholar able to read Classical Egyptian.
2 – Advanced dissociation from their native but forgotten tongue (Aramaean, Mahrani, Socotri, Kushitic, Coptic, Berber — as per the respective geographic area); to this measure were later added the “needed” arabization campaigns that prove by themselves that the targeted populations were not Arab of origin.
3 – Weak and discredited educational system
4 – Indifference for reading, wide culture, encyclopedic education, cultural activities, intellectual life, personal improvement
5 – Servile admiration of the technological achievements of the Western world
6 – Slavish attitude toward the colonial diplomats, military and academics, combined with a parallel but disproportionate egoism and arrogance toward indigenous people of lower classes
7 – Absolute lack of civic sense
8 – Absence of any familiarity with (daily) life in urban centers
9 – Indifference for the ?outer world’ which means inability to demonstrate interest for anything beyond the narrow circle of life (the community in which every ?Arab’ lives). Here I have to stress that I mainly refer to the formation period which is the 19th century; inability to cope with movements like that of Kemal Ataturk in Turkey underscored this attitude among ?Syrians’, ?Iraqis’, ?Palestinians’, Arabs, Yemenites and Egyptians during the period 1920 – 1940. The statement may look exaggerated if referring to our global world, but it is still very valid. Who considers possible in today’s Saudi Arabia for a university to offer courses on Pre-Columbian Mexico, Assyrian — Babylonian Cuneiform or Manichaean texts from Central Asia?
10 – Creation of a divide among the local populations’ mindset and attitude: those, who admire and are attracted by the Western lifestyle, mindset and attitude, fail to understand the underlying concepts and principles whereas those, who oppose them, fail to perceive (let alone express) their rejection in terms of concepts, principles and values.
Certainly, the Anglo-French Orientalists and diplomats did not generate this lack of concepts, principles and values in the minds of their victims; these had already been transformed into mere rules during the long period of diffusion of Ibn Taimiya’s system and disintegration of the Islamic Civilization. But the emergence of a socio-behavioural system whereby the subjects of a country act on the basis of rules and prescriptions (and not concepts, principles and critical thinking) is greatly beneficial to those attempting to manipulate that society, as it eliminates unpredictable developments, and thus facilitates the overall game.
11 – Exploitation of the aforementioned divide and the ensued clash between those attracted by the Western lifestyle, mindset and attitude and those opposing them.
A. The former, due to their attitude (as per above), never reached the level of proper evaluation and real understanding of the Western lifestyle and mindset; as they constituted a small social minority, they relied on Western support totally, and because of this, they never put conditions for their readiness to betray their country in order to further ensure the “privileges” that they had due to their cooperation with the Anglo-French Orientalists, diplomats, and businessmen. They thus failed to ever understand the functionality of the Western lifestyle and truly make it work for themselves — the only exception in this regard was Kemal Ataturk. And this made the great difference between Turkey and the miserable pseudo-Arab states for so many decades.
The Western attitude toward the 19th century Ottoman citizens who were attracted by the Western lifestyle and mindset demonstrates that the colonial powers did not want to “correct” the Islamic world and merely make their model common to all but simply intended to infiltrate and destroy, spread chaos and conflicts.
In fact, in not a single part of the colonized Ottoman Empire (between 1798 and 1918) can one detect an effort deployed by the Anglo-French Orientalists, diplomats, and businessmen in order to truly educate the pro-Western elements of the local societies and make of them integral and genuine Western individuals. The Anglo-French interest villainously and perversely evolved around the two axes:
• exploitation of the natural resources and
• destruction of the Ottoman Empire.
That’s why the historical role for the pro-Western elements proved to be calamitous and ominous.
B. The latter, due to their attitude (as per above), never formulated their opposition to the Western lifestyle, on the basis of a pertinent perception and proper evaluation of the Western lifestyle and mindset. Their rejection was not a properly speaking theoretical reaction, based on comparisons between different concepts and principles; it was merely an instinctive reaction that helped only reassert the main elements of their socio-behavioural system, stress their characteristics, and consolidate their barbarism. The phenomenon was repeated very often, and it thus had a disastrous impact on them over the span of two centuries.
As they constituted the majority, they represented the epicenter of the Anglo-French Freemasonic colonial policy making; although deprived of power (which would allow them express their reaction in a disastrous manner mainly for them), they would basically be allowed to shape the developments — according to the wishes of the Anglo-French colonial elites.
The importance of the majority of the depersonalized, ignorant and misguided populations of the Ottoman provinces for the Anglo-French Freemasonic colonial policy making consisted mainly in the need of the colonial powers to avert the true search for identity, conceptual approach to facts and developments, and in general, everything that would make of them a force of Ottoman (and Islamic) renaissance.
Finally, the model of the fabricated “Arab” was ready at around the end of the 19th century. The Anglo-French Orientalists realized that they would consolidate it with a dose of Islamism, which not only would be totally unrelated to the Golden Era of Islam but also form a further step in the degeneration of Islam.
It goes without saying that the situation of the Islamic faith and society further deteriorated during the 19th century because of its own downward dynamics. The rise of the Wahhabism, the absurd barbarism of Abdelwahhab, a heretic Arab of the Nejd desert, was widely accepted among the disoriented masses of the Arabic speaking Aramaeans of Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia and the southern coastlands of the Persian Gulf. The Anglo-French colonial agents and diplomats did everything they could to help diffuse both, Wahhabism itself and several of its constituent elements among the non Wahhabi populations of Egypt, Atlas and India.
The addition of selected elements taken from the degenerated ?Islamisms’ of Jamal al-din al Afghani (1838 — 1897; Freemason and teacher of the next mentioned), Muhammad Abdu (1849 — 1905; the Freemason Mufti of Egypt!), Hassan al Banna (1906 — 1949, a declared Hanbali of Egypt) and Sayyid Qutb (1906 — 1966) onto the final portrait of the “Arab” helped the Anglo-French Freemasonic Orientalists deliver an extremely inconsistent model that undoubtedly destroys every people on whom it may be projected. With the materialization of this policy and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the path was open for the fake but explosive “Middle East” to be incepted. When Michel Aflaq (1910 — 1989; another Freemason), an Ottoman Christian citizen of Aramaean descent who belonged to the Greek Antiochian Orthodox rite, studied in Paris in the 1930s, the fake tableau of the Middle East was available and ready to accommodate additional pseudo-theories (like Ba’athism). Furthermore, the “Arab” pseudo-states were about to be proclaimed in order to exclusively serve the nefarious interests of the Anglo-French Freemasonry.
Fake State of Israel and Pseudo-Arab States: the Two Faces of the Same Coin
Following the end of WW II, the colonial establishments of France and England set in motion the next major operation, namely the formation of a great number of pseudo-Arab states that were geared to clash with the equally fake state of Israel.
Due to the overwhelming propagation of the Pan-Arabist fallacy, very few people are now able to understand that the fake state of Israel simply could not exist without the parallel existence of the fake “Arab” states.
The reason for which the fake state of Israel expanded in 1948 and 1967 has a name: “Arabs,” i.e. a fake nation composed out of numerous states and ignorant and besotted populations – victims that fail to imagine their true identity, understand the historical realities, and achieve an accurate perception of the current situation. Only “Arab” pseudo-states, administered by blinded, ignorant, idiotic and barbaric magistrates, can fail to identify the plausible solutions that can apply in the case of the fake state of Israel.
The extensive demonization of the “Arabs,” the fallacious identification of Islam with the non existent “Arabs,” the identification of the “Arab” and the (associated) “Muslim” with an unknown but barbaric “Other” and the irritation of the Western and global audiences with vilifying narratives about appalling practices and lifestyles that typify the “villainous other” are all methods of justification of the illegal presence of the non Israelite, and definitely anti-Jewish, Zionist state of fake Israel.
But if the “Arabs” had not been fabricated, all these methods would not have been carried out, and the absurd existence of the all-threatening and none-protecting pseudo-state Israel would not have been justifiable to anybody.
In fact, if a diverse reality of Berbers, Egyptian Copts, Kushites, Yemenites, and Aramaeans, along with the Hedjaz (real) Arabs existed in the wider area between the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and Central Asia, who would prepare the comical and fake maps of a huge threatening Arab League territory with the adjacent minimal portion of the fake state of Israel which becomes thus “justifiable”?
Who could ever attempt to vilify the Phoenicians and portray the Aramaeans as perilous?
How could Egypt be denigrated if Muslims and Christians spoke Coptic?
What possibly negative impression could have a Berber Algeria ever made to people in Europe and America?
Who among the Western nations would not love Sudan if Africa’s largest country were named Ethiopia and included in its modified territory the Oromos who are the Kushitic brethren of today’s Arabic-speaking Sudanese?
And is it not evident that Yemen, divided into Sheba (North) and Hadhramawt (South), would radiate in peace?
Who prevented this peaceful and human situation from coming to existence?
Who disseminated discord and pestilence throughout the united and peaceful Ottoman territory?
Who propagated among the Western nations the ceaselessly repeated arabization plans that have been undertaken by the dictators of all the pseudo-Arab countries?
Le Monde, Le Figaro, Times, Newsweek, Washington Post, Frankfurter Allgemeine, Economist, New York Times, Time, Los Angeles Times, L’ Orient Le Jour, Daily Telegraph — and all the other Freemasonic mass media that supported the Zionist fabrication pseudo-Israel.
Their fake “Arab” is an inexistent nation born to be the scapegoat of all defamation campaigns, the tool of extermination for so many countries and peoples absorbed within the fake “Arab” melting pot and the fallacious “Israeli” — “Arab” maelstrom.
The arabization projects for the Berbers, the Tuareg, the Copts, the Aramaeans, the Yemenites, the Omanis, the Nubians and the Kushites are the antipodes of the Jewish Holocaust, an unspeakable multi-genocide carried out against more than 230 million people.
In Syria, the arabization project took also the form of persecution of the Aramaic language and eradication of the Aramaean Heritage. Last deplorable measure was the shutting down of the Aramaic Institute in Damascus. I republish herewith an insightful published in the leading Aramaean portal Aram Nahrin, I will further expand in several forthcoming articles.
On 2nd of April 2010 an article was published by the Christian Science Monitor entitled “Easter Sunday: A Syrian bid to resurrect Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ” (see below) on the closing of the Aramaic institute initiated in 2007 at the university of Damascus.
The reasons seem to be the deep-seated hatred and paranoia towards Israel. A newspaper in Syria published an article saying that the used square Aramaic characters resemble the Hebrew alphabet used now in Israel. Because the hatred towards everything which is ?Jews’ or ?Israel’ seem so huge, that the university of Damascus decided to freeze the course for the time being. This is a monumental insanity that goes beyond any imagination!
Most probably this horrendous blind hatred towards Israel will at the end lead not only Syria, but also other Islamic “Arabic” countries to fire and destruction. And probably it is this insanity and blind hatred that finally will lead to the prophecy of Isaiah 17:1-3 to be carried out, “The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 2 The cities of Aroer [are] forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid.
Historians tell that Damascus is the only city which continuously has been inhabited during its existence. In the prophecy of Isaiah we are told about the total annihilation of Damascus resulting in ruinous heap which never will be inhabited. There has been suggested that when a war will start in the Middle-East between Israel and it’s mainly Islamic “Arabic” neighbours (prophecy Psalms 83), Damascus probably will be completely annihilated by nuclear bomb or Scalar weaponry (Amongst those who posses the scalar weaponry are Israel, Russia, China and few other countries. The US posses the less advanced HAARP system).
In the article of Christian Science Monitor David Taylor is being quoted. On the closing of the Aramaic institute he says, “It would also be a travesty for Syria”. Worse, it would be a monumental travesty.
More than 1,5 million Arameans in Syria
Syria is one of the less countries where the Arameans relatively enjoy freedom. Although the Aramean cultural heritage is being oppressed (many of them being assimilated and “Arabised”), yet on the religious level the various Aramean denominations in Syria are able to exercise their faith in freedom in contradiction to for example the situation of the Copts in Egypt who suffer terrible under fanaticism and barbarism (see also our letter to the president of Syria, Bashar Assad on 6-7-2009)
Hafes Assad (president 1971-2000), the father of present president of Syria, Bashar Assad, ruled Syria with discipline and tight hand. Fanaticism, like for example in Egypt, was not tolerated and suppressed mercilessly. The same method of combating fanaticism and intolerance was also applied in Iraq by Saddam Hussein. The power of the both rulers, Saddam and Hafes, was based on the secular Ba’at party, something which opened the way for the Aramean Christians to climb on the political ladder. An example was the East- Aramean Chaldean minister of Iraq Tarreq Aziz.
The various Aramean denominations in Syria always enjoyed certain degree of freedom of religion. To build and to restore of churches, schools and other buildings in Syria is very normal in contrast to some other Islamic countries where even building a wall is forbidden.
There are in Syria more than 1,5 million Arameans of various denominations, namely: Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholic, Syrian Melkite Catholic, Syrian Melkite orthodox, Nestorian Chaldeans, Nestorian Assyrians and Syrian Maronites.
In the West Syria is heavily being criticized and have been put on black list of “rogue” states. The same qualifications was attributed to Iraq of Saddam Hussein. The West would bring so-called “civilization,” ?democracy” and “respect for human rights” to Iraq. Result: bloodbaths, uranium poison, more than million Iraqis killed, malformed children, thousands orphans and widows, million homeless, broken families, destroyed churches, homes and other buildings.
The vast majority of the Iraqi people is looking with outrage and condemnation to the “liberation” and “bringing democracy and human rights” to Iraq by the West. The sympathy for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe to George Bush during his visit to Iraq, is a vivid proof for the condemnation of the Iraqi people for what in the name of “freedom” and “democracy” has been done to their country. Obviously, the Aramean Christians are not interested to bring similar “democracy” and “human rights” by the West to Syria. Under regime of Saddam Hussein, the Aramean Christians enjoyed respect, honor and occupied high positions in the politics, the army and flourished economically very well. After “civilization,” “human rights” and “democracy” was brought to Iraq by the West, the majority of the Aramean people left Iraq, have lost their social, political positions, are marginalized and are a easy prey for fanatical groups and ordinary criminals. Of course nobody is interested in this kind of “democracy” and “human rights”.
Jesus Christ is remembered on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, but the language he spoke is all but forgotten. A controversial new language institute in Syria seeks to save Aramaic.
Malula, Syria
While millions will commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter Sunday, only a handful of people could discuss his works in the language of his day: Aramaic.
Nearly all of them live in three Syrian villages, the last outposts in a region largely swept by the Arabic of Islam. In a bid to preserve its ancient heritage, Syria launched a series of language courses in 2007 to bolster the fading influence of a 3,000-year-old language that once reigned supreme in the Middle East.
And so it was that an Aramaic institute joined the cluster of buildings that cling to a rocky spine in the village of Malula, about 35 miles northwest of Damascus. But the program ran into trouble recently, when a Syrian newspaper suggested that the alphabet being used to teach written Aramaic bore an uncanny resemblance to the Hebrew characters found in modern-day Israel.
Worried that a flagship heritage scheme might in any way be associated with the country’s neighboring enemy, the government-run University of Damascus, which established the institute, acted quickly to freeze the Aramaic program.
“There were some people in the press trying to cause trouble,” says George Rezkallah, an elderly villager from Malula who runs the institute. He is hopeful that classes will be able to resume this summer.
The origins of Aramaic
Speaking from his flat overlooking the village’s higgledy-piggledy hillside houses, Mr. Rezkallah says that while the two alphabets do have similarities, it is Aramaic which first began using square lettering around the 12th century BC.
The Hebrew now used in Israel, he said, was formulated 700 years later after the restoration of the ancient kingdom of the Jews in the 5th century BC.
“The Persians adopted Aramaic. The Babylonians adopted it and so did the Jews. It then prevailed as the language of the Middle East until 700 AD.”
David Taylor, author of “The Hidden Pearl: Aramaic Heritage of the Syrian Orthodox Church,” adds that the Jewish people adopted the square Aramaic alphabet — which had become the lingua franca of the entire Middle East from about 700 BC — after they were exiled to Babylon in 587 BC, before which they had used a Palaeo-Hebrew script.
The fact that it has survived in Malula today is nothing short of a “miracle,” says Gene Gragg, professor of Near Eastern Languages at the University of Chicago.
“It would be something of a linguistic tragedy if this splendid survivor were allowed to disappear,” he added.
It would also be a travesty for Syria, says Dr. Taylor.
“Aramaic is a constant reminder of the international importance of Syria in the ancient world, when it was a beacon of learning and culture that had a profound impact worldwide,” he says. “It mirrors the cultural, linguistic and religious diversity that has always been of such great importance in Syria and is key to its long-term success.”
A last remnant of Jesus’s language
Modern branches of the language are still spoken across southeast Turkey, northern Iraq, and northwest Iran.
But the dialect spoken by its inhabitants — as well as the residents of two nearby, mostly Muslim, villages — is the only survivor of Western Aramaic, the closest modern descendant to the language spoken by Jesus and his disciples.
It would, in all probability, have been spoken by the Christian martyr St. Thecla, a disciple of St. Paul whose tomb in Malula draws pilgrims from around the world.
“It’s quite extraordinary,” says Annyck Wustyn, a 63-year-old visitor from France. “In our country, where we are mostly Catholic, Aramaic is like a myth. Now I know it is a reality.”
Pushing forward with the program
Undeterred by the move to shut down his Aramaic institute, Rezkallah plans to introduce a new course this summer which, for the first time, will include a textbook using Aramaic to English translations — effectively opening up the institute to non-Arabic speaking students for the first time since it was founded.
According to Rezkallah, the dispute over the Hebrew similarities is still “being discussed,” but the institute has trained an extra nine teachers this year in anticipation of an extension of the program. The new textbook will, however, use Syriac script from the second century BC in lieu of square Aramaic lettering.
For the likes of Atallah Shaib, a young man working in his father’s restaurant overlooking the rickety houses of Malula, the fight to secure his language’s future is as important as ever.
“Aramaic is not a normal language,” says Mr. Shaib, his rolled-up sleeves revealing a series of inky blue Aramaic tattoos on his forearms. “It’s Jesus Christ’s language, and that’s the most important reason why we should keep it alive.”

By: Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis [ Enlarge ] What happens these days in today’s world demonstrates very well that Muslims and Christians have been caught victims of an unnecessary and malicious plan.
Muslims gullibly believe that several Western nations, notably France, England and the US, have engaged a war against Islam by colonizing first and controlling afterwards all the Muslim countries. This is erroneously perceived as a clash with Christianity.
At the other end, Christians in Europe and America have been misled — through an incessant brainwash orchestrated by their mass media, politicians and intellectuals — and believe that the average Muslim has been radicalized, and is now ready for a Jihad against Christianity and the West.
This is all wrong. In fact, it is a false debate where both clashing parts have a distorted perception of the “other”, and of themselves. What is at stake involves both religions, all the religions of the world, and the world peace.
What Muslims failed to understand: the West is not Christian.
Muslims seem to forget that the Western countries are not Christian countries; they are merely countries with Christian populations, but the principles and the ideas of Christianity have been systematically disrespected and marginalized there. These countries were Christian indeed in the past, but confusing 15th century Europe with today’s Anti-Christian Europe is sheer proof of ignorance.
The Muslims confuse Medieval, Christian Europe’s Anti-Islamic stance with today’s Europe’s Anti-Islamic delirium. Terrible mistake with calamitous consequences!
Never ever has a Modern Muslim undertaken a critical examination of Europe’ identity; even worse, not a single Muslim today imagines as possible for him to undertake a research based let’s say on Ibn Khaldoun’s systematic investigative approach. Muslim historians have been accustomed with Western analytical methods in their explorations and investigations, thus enslaving themselves to a system that is not theirs, and to conclusions that are genuinely wrong for a Muslim to draw.
Simple observation and criticism would however be enough for a Muslim to understand that all the Christian values, principles and concepts on which the Christian Western societies were based have totally disappeared. These values, principles and concepts may perhaps be shared by many average people in the West, but they ceased to be the axis around which evolve the Western societies, their administrations and policy-making.
In fact, the values, principles and concepts that form the essence of today’s Western ruling class mindset, policy making and Weltanschauung are at the very antipodes of Christianity. Materialism, consumerism, immoral behaviour, corruption, relativism, nihilism, conformism, conventionalism, formalism, evolutionism and individualism prevail along with a foolish inclination for technological innovation, luxurious leisure, debauchery, incommensurable selfishness and overwhelming hypocrisy.
The driving force that eliminated Christianity brought forth the aforementioned, purely Anti-Christian situation. All this is due to the subversive tactics of Free Masonry, an ages-old society that in the process of its opposition to Vatican and to the official Christianity was transformed from inside and turned to an apostate guild. The subversive tactics undertaken by the Apostate Freemasonic Lodge in its search for prevalence condemned it to apostasy. Without deeply understanding these developments, no one can understand the evolution of the Western societies, and the phenomena of colonization (as practiced mainly by France and England) and globalization (as practiced mainly by America).
This subversion makes it possible that even in an institution that has been traditionally opposed to Freemasonry, like Vatican, one can possibly find members of the organization — and at times its head — who are Freemasons and act subversively in order to control and guide at will the organization in question.
This is precisely what happens with Vatican today; the present pope has been repeatedly accused by important Christian organizations as being a Freemason, which is absolutely incompatible with the quality of a Christian, and of a Muslim as well (http://www.virgo-maria.org/#). This imposes differentiation policies, and if they are not introduced, Muslims will simply fail in their approach to Europe, America and the Western world.
What Christians failed to understand: the East is not Islamic.
Similarly, Christians seem to forget that the Eastern countries are not Islamic / Muslim countries; they are countries with Muslim populations but the principles and the ideas of Islam have been systematically disrespected and marginalized at the level of the ruling elites, their mindset, lifestyle, behavioural system, administrative choices and policies, and more particularly their foreign policy making. These countries were Muslim indeed, but confusing 16th century Ottoman Empire with today’s pseudo-Muslim states is sheer proof of ignorance.
The Christians confuse Islamic Ages’ Islamic expansion at the detriment of Christianity with today’s Islamic World’s Anti-Western rhetoric. Terrible mistake with calamitous consequences!
Even worse, few Christians realize in the West that the same forces that demolished systematically the Christian values for the past three centuries, principles and concepts are those who shaped and imposed an interpretative method of the Oriental civilizations (Islamic included), which was adjusted to their sociopolitical, economic and global interests, and therefore is absolutely untrue.
Christians in the West failed to understand that one of the nefarious counterparts of Darwinism and evolutionism was the Orientalist doctrine of Islamology, which was geared to both, prevent Westerners from knowing the true Islam and let Muslim scholars persist on their obsolete analyses and approaches that further drag them to irrevocable ignorance and permanent impotence.
Christians in the West failed to understand that the inventors of the fallacious term “Arab — Muslim civilization” (civilisation arabo-musulmane) are identical with the promoters of the gay marriages in the West; even worse, real Catholic and Orthodox Christians failed to overtly accuse of apostasy the pseudo-Christian Evangelical puppets of the Freemasons who are those who promote both, the Zionisation of Christianity and the Anti-Islamic hysteria that deepens the unnecessary chasm between Christians and Muslims.
Even worse, never ever has a Modern Christian undertaken a critical examination of the Islamic World’s identity, other than the Islamological Orientalist fallacy of the Freemasons; even worse, not a single Christian today imagines as possible for him to undertake a research based on let’s say Theophanes’, George Syncellus’, Michel Psellos’ or John Damascenus’ theoretical approaches. Christian Western historians have been accustomed to use Freemasonic Orientalist analytical methods in their explorations and investigations, thus enslaving themselves to a system that is not theirs, and to conclusions that are genuinely wrong for a Christian to draw.
Simple observation and criticism would however be enough for a Christian to understand that all the Islamic values, principles and concepts on which the Islamic societies were traditionally based have by now disappeared. These values, principles and concepts may perhaps be shared by average people in many Muslim countries, but they ceased to be the axis around which the Muslim societies, their administrations and policy-making evolve.
In fact, the values, principles and concepts that form the essence of the Modern Muslim ruling classes mindset, policy making and Weltanschauung are at the very antipodes of genuine, traditional Islam. Filthy liars and bogus sheikhs ready to justify anything are therefore hired in the Islamic World’s leading mosques and universities in order to serve their criminal and pseudo-Islamic presidents, tyrants, emirs and bogus-kings, and they lecture the besotted masses that one Muslim can play football, spend his holidays in 5 stars hotels, organize Marketing campaigns for Coca Cola and Mc Donald’s, and go shopping in the malls.
Islam is thus reduced to a meaningless pseudo-prayer and the besotted pseudo-Muslim masses are told that this is enough to ensure good judgment in the Hereafter. At the same time, due to the advanced Westernization of the pseudo-Muslim societies, materialism, consumerism, immoral behaviour, corruption, relativism, nihilism, conformism, conventionalism, formalism, evolutionism and individualism prevail among pseudo-Muslims along with a foolish inclination for technological innovation, luxurious leisure, debauchery, incommensurable selfishness and overwhelming hypocrisy.
In fact, Islam had fallen into desuetude and coma before Napoleon arrived in Egypt, and even before the English set foot in India. The decadence was due to the rise in force of several negative and nefarious elements and doctrines that at first had been rejected and castigated; however, quite unfortunately, these doctrines managed to survive, expand and even give birth to lower and more degraded doctrinal systems. From Ahmed Ibn Hanbal to Ibn Taimiya and thence to Abdel Wahhab, a grave deterioration of thought, intellect, mental and intellectual processes, and a dramatic degradation and elimination of wisdom, knowledge, art, research and behaviour turned the Islamic civilization into a filthy realm of fanaticism, ignorance, hatred, negativism, and barbarism. This became the realm where tolerance is customarily shown for every attempt of lowering, vulgarizing and bestializing the human being. When Napoleon arrived in Egypt, the Islamic civilization — as assimilated, assessed, expanded and elevated by Masters of the World Thought like Tabari, Khwarismi, Ferdowsi, Ibn Sina, Qurtubi, Mohyieldin Ibn Arabi, Ibn Hazm, Ibn Rushd and many others — simply did not exist anymore.
The early Orientalists, who were all European Freemasons and, under the pretext of search and exploration, did their best to offer false interpretations of the historical phenomena (not only those pertaining to the Islamic Ages), noticed the aforementioned disastrous fall of the Islamic world, and to capitalize on their early colonial success, they triggered among the Muslim societies a series of socioeconomic, political and intellectual, pre-calculated reactions that pushed the colonized Muslim societies further deeper in the bottom. Through this, the Freemasonic Orientalist academia of England and France managed to control and exploit the Muslim societies in a way that made them stronger back home.
Robbing Muslims’ Wealth to Destroy Christianity: Typically Freemasonic
This is the truth that obliges today Christians and Muslims to merge against their common enemy: the wealth extracted from occupied Muslim lands was indeed used by the Freemasonic socioeconomic and political establishment of the West in order to finance the destruction of Christianity in the West.
The driving force that perpetuated Islam’s putrefaction is identical with those who destroyed the Christian identity of the West, and plunged the Western societies into endless crimes, such as abortion, homosexual marriages, and generalized corruption. The same subversive tactics applied by the criminal Freemasonic establishment in the Islamic World damaged the Christians in the West, although the colonial powers’ victories in Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans and South Asia were effectively depicted as a success for the entire Christianity.
But what sort of Pyrrhic victory is it for the true Christians of the West the fact of an African becoming Christian, if this person’s children, living in America, carry out a totally Anti-Christian life full of materialism, sexualism, amoral behaviour, consumerism, and oblivion of all faiths?
As a matter of fact, the Ottoman Oil stolen by France, England and the US through the illegal occupation of the Ottoman territories (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Emirates and Oman) was not “good” for the Christians in the West. It merely helped elect Freemasonic popes in the 50s, the 60s, the 70s, and the 2000s.
That is why Christian organizations should form a great platform with Muslims who are able to carry out self-criticism and understand that today’s Muslim fanatics trying to radicalize the Muslim societies and escalate the Christian — Muslim clash are merely playing into the Freemasonic game of Islam’s ultimate disaster and annihilation.

Not so long ago the mere suggestion that an African team might win a World Cup would have been dismissed out of hand – all of a sudden, the idea no longer seems far-fetched. Could this be Africa’s time? Unperturbed by his 1977 prediction that an African side would triumph by the end of the 20th century, Brazil legend Pele genuinely believes it can occur next year.
BBC: Close your eyes and try to imagine the scenes of jubilation across Africa if a team from the continent were to win the 2010 World Cup.
A celebration like no other, one billion people reveling in one of the greatest sporting and cultural achievements.
For the first time in its 80-year history, football’s blue riband competition is coming to the world’s poorest and most underdeveloped land.
How better to mark the occasion than with a first African champion?
“Winning the World Cup would be one of the proudest moments in the history of that country and our continent as a whole,” former South Africa striker Shaun Bartlett told BBC Sport.
“Every African nation has its internal problems but football can do wonders for people and nations, which is a huge incentive.”
Nobody is saying it is going to happen but the groundswell of opinion suggests South Africa 2010 is the best opportunity yet. [ READ MORE ]

LIBREVILLE – French President Nicolas Sarkozy was met with jeers as he joined fellow leaders at the funeral (06/14/2009) of Gabon’s Omar Bongo Ondimba, Africa’s longest-serving head of state. One man in the crowd told AFP:“You French, you come here to eat Gabon. All the presidents who have come to this palace have left again with their pockets full and then you criticise us.”
By: Austin Ejiet
Nicolas Sarkozy and Omar Bongo Ondimba Last month a French corruption inquiry accused the then Gabonese President, Omar Bongo Ondimba, of two grievous crimes: salting away a sinful proportion of Gabon’s wealth in an estimated 71 foreign bank accounts in France alone and buying off whole streets of the primest real estate in Paris and Nice; and secondly, of encouraging similar kleptocratic tendencies among the leaders of the republics of Congo and Equatorial Guinea, Denis Sassou-Nguesso and Teodoro Obiang Nguema respectively. The three West Africa countries are prodigiously endowed with crude oil deposits the combined proceeds of which could have wiped out Africa’s entire foreign debt. Instead, that oil wealth had become the preserve of a rapacious troika.
The French cannot pretend to wake up in May 2009 to investigate what they themselves created as far back as February of 1964. On February 18, 1964, a group of progressive members of the Gabonese armed forces overthrew the neo-colonial regime of President Leon M’ba in which Albert Benard Bongo was vice president.
The young army officers immediately released all political prisoners, promising sweeping political and economic reforms. But the next night, French paratroopers sent by General de Gaulle arrived in Gabon and reinstated Leon M’ba as president. On the latter’s death from natural causes in 1967, Bongo became president.
Under an Islamised president Omar Bongo, Gabon became the Jewel of French imperialism in Africa, a staging post for the latter’s colourful adventures which included the much vaunted but worthless support for the Biafran secessionist movement between July 1967 and January 1970; the invasion of Guinea- Conakry on November 22, 1970; the attempt to gain a beach-head in Cabinda in 1975; and the disastrous mercenary attack on Benin on January 16, 1977 organised by Bob Denard in coordination with the French secret services.
Along with three other African presidents, Omar Bongo openly supported Apartheid in South Africa at the behest of France, often busting UN-sanctioned embargoes against arms shipments to South Africa and Savimbi’s UNITA.
But France was reaping more than just strategic dividends from Gabon. It controlled the modern sector of the economy to the tune of 65 per cent and enjoyed a total (no pun intended with the Total oil company) monopoly of Gabon’s vast oil reserves. In exchange for Omar Bongo’s astonishing largesse, the French helped keep him in power and allowed him to plunder the remnants of his country’s resources to the fullest extent of his obscene appetites.
Jacques Chirac and Omar Bongo
So when France came up with a belated enquiry into the president’s corrupt excesses, they did not fool anybody. President Bongo lashed out at his former colonial masters the way Marshal Mobutu had lashed out at Belgium following the latter’s description of him as a “Ferdinand Marcos.” To underscore his displeasure, Bongo checked himself into a Spanish hospital rather than a French one. The Gabonese people too, a few of them at any rate reportedly jeered and booed both current French president Nicolas Sarkozy and his predecessor Jacques Chirac, yelling: “We don’t want you – leave!” “No to France!”
Nevertheless, the departed president was buried last Thursday at his home town appropriately named “Franceville.” The president had forgotten to build a pyramid or at least a mausoleum to house his remains, persuaded perhaps that he had more time to enjoy this side of eternity.
The Legacy of Omar Bongo
Let France do the right thing. A coffin, they say, has no pockets. That half-hearted commission of enquiry should be turned into a genuine and thorough treasure hunt for the late president’s hidden wealth.
If the French put their mind to it, they can track down Omar Bongo’s last penny. That money should, of course, be handed back to the Gabonese people, after a genuine democratic electoral exercise has found and installed, not a political spare tyre, but a popularly elected successor who should serve a maximum of two terms.
