EGYPT, BARADEI (THE ISRAEL IDIOTS’ HOPE,) AND OUR PERSISTENT STATE-OF-ENTRAPMENT

In memory: Charles B. Biscoe

d r a f t

The Egyptian state has for decades been waging war on the Muslim Brotherhood. It has done that pre-Uncle-Tom-hood (the rejection-of-Arabism at Camp David) and into the Uncle Tom-hood era - - the era since Camp David. Not a month passes without wholesale arrests of members and activists of that Brotherhood. When it comes to the arrests of these activists, the Israel-Anchored Idiots customarily are mum

But when the Egyptian state dare arrest activists demonstrating on behalf of Muhamed AlBaradei, as that state did a few days ago, the Israel Idiots’ State Department becomes “deeply concerned.”

Let me ponder the matter: So ElBaradei is the Israel-Idiots’ man.

Do the Israel Idiots hope to obtain favorable change in Egypt by crowning Baradei President? Will this in any way help them in West Asia, in the Arab nation, and in the Muslim World? Or help absorb the ire of the Egyptian Arab Muslim Street about the wars the Israel Idiots are waging in Muslim lands?

d r a f t

Or, is it that the Israel Idiots are so incapable at budging their Israel Anchor, or at suffocating the Islamic Republic, that they spin their wheels in Egypt just for the sake of seeming to have a plan, any plan - - any some sort of plan.

Pitiful Israel-Anchored Idiots!

There are moments when the honorable-and-smart thing to do is to shut up. This is one such moment in Egypt. Why? Because neither their man Baradei nor any of his ilk should make a difference one-way-or-the-other to the Israel Idiots’ West Asian and Arab interests - -whatever these are.


WHILE OTHERS DEFINE THE IDIOTS’ INTERESTS

Whatever these are: Because, barring holding on to what we’ve got (the oil of the Arabian protectorates and influencing the trajectory of the trillion-dollar accumulated surpluses in these protectorates’ sovereign funds), we don’t know what these interests really are. We’re in a state of daze-and-confusion, the elite acting with fake confidence to fool the public and itself. We’re spinning our wheels the old-and-familiar way, not knowing what else to do. This state of affairs becomes increasingly and painfully apparent as we mark each year into the one-trillion-dollar-Israel-Boys’-inspired-illusions, with some of us hoping that these illusions would have been burst by the Iraq fiasco. But, have they?

Dangerously (as it could lead us into yet another unnecessary war), in this state of daze, the Saudi ruling elite is defining our interests for us in Plantation Iraq while Israel’s Boys are defining them on the Highway to Central Asia - - by pressuring, with their right-wing (and eminently discredited!) allies, for U.S troops to stay the course, straddling the sides of that Highway-to-Full-Bankruptcy-and-absolute-hatred-of-us-in-the-Muslim-World.

AND WHAT A STATE OF ENTRAPMENT!

Post-Iraq and the disastrous strategic fiasco of adopting the ideas of Israel’s Boys, there’s a dire need for new concepts, for a long-term perspective - - and for courage. New concepts and new thinking, perspective, and courage are all so missing. There’s a dire need to engage in a thorough re-evaluation of our state-of-entrapment in that systemic power vacuum trap that is our Israel-Anchored Highway to Central Asia project. And there’s every reason to believe that no such re-evaluation is in the offing. It seems to me that, child-like, we’re expecting Daddy-the-Pentagon to effect the needed re-evaluation, as if the solutions are military, which they’re not. The solutions unavoidably will require the withdrawal of troops for political (tame the ire of the Muslim World against Israel-Anchored Us) and budget reasons (save the federal government and the layers of other governments from continued bankruptcy and concomitant social upheavals) and not for obvious military ones (not too many casualties, therefore let us stay.) It also seems to me that no one dares engage in the needed re-evaluation, honest and creative, as all run scared of the right wing boogeyman and of Israel’s influence in the U.S. Congress.


d r a f t

I’ve been accused of hyper-efficiency; so maybe I’m expecting the re-evaluation to happen yesterday, so obtuse am I to the fact that the American elite, having come so close to losing-it-all in the financial meltdown, and aghast at the resistance to it (and disgust with it) in the Muslim World, is catching its breath while sleep-walking in the daze.

d r a f t

The foreign policy establishment has a way of co-opting all. Of compromising (and neutering) all who speak out and have fresh ideas (read: independent of the Israel Anchor.) So one would expect that the resultant absence of independent and credible voices (voices that are not towing the absurd-and-inane Highway-to-Central-Asia line under whatever guise and voices that are calling for a radical military pullback and military-financial retrenchment) does after all exact a price on the process (so badly needed) of correcting the course - - radically. After the foreign policy establishment does a bang-up job neutering all, with Israel-Anchored efficiency (the national security bureaucracy is Israel-Anchored), it sits there, clueless-in-its-helplessness, unable to fathom the wisdom of shutting up.

Such fools!
