And the song remain the same..

Ahmed M. EL NAHAS – November th3 8^th 2011.

·       Back in December 2005, Israel’s drums of war sounded so loud that it could be heard on Mars. By then the prime minister Ariel Sharon ordered Israel’s armed forces to prepare for air strikes on uranium enrichment sites in Iran (Times (London), Dec 11, 2005).

·        On December 9, Israeli Minister of Defense, Shaul Mofaz, affirmed that in view of Teheran’s nuclear plans, Tel Aviv should “not count on diplomatic negotiations but prepare other solutions”. (La Jornada, Dec. 10, 2005).

·        In early December, Ahron Zoevi Farkash, the Israeli military intelligence chief told the Israeli parliament (Knesset) that “if by the end of March, the international community is unable to refer the Iranian issue to the United Nations Security Council, then we can say that the international effort has run its course” (Times, Dec. 11, 2005). In plain Hebrew, if international diplomatic negotiations fail to comply with Israel’s timetable, Israel will unilaterally, militarily attack Iran.

·        Benjamin Netanyahu, then leader of the Likud Party and candidate for Prime Minister stated that if Sharon did not act against Iran, “then when I form the new Israeli government (after the March 2006 elections) we’ll do what we did in the past against Saddam’s reactor”. (Times Dec 11, 2005).

·        All top Israeli officials have pronounced the end of March as the deadline for launching a military assault on Iran. The thinking behind this date is to heighten the pressure on the US to force the sanctions issue in the Security Council. The tactic is to blackmail Washington with the “war or else” threat, into pressuring Europe (namely Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia) into approving sanctions.

Now, in November 2011, the scenery has changed quite a bit. And as both the American and Israeli strategic interests are seriously defied by the growing “instability” throughout the Arab world, thus a war must take the stage and sedate the region for a while, until the new deck of cards is shuffled and prepared for a new hand to be dealt in an absurd endless game on the table of the Big Ones.

The United States have almost evacuated Iraq and does not fear for a heavy body count in its ranks like those days back in 2005, Europe is facing a tremendous economic crisis threatening to serve the entire old continent to the IMF for breakfast, Israel needs to overcome its losses (prisoners exchange, the declaration of Palestine as an active member of UNESCO, the surrounding “revolutions” among neighbouring countries, the Turkish/Arab/Iranian rapprochement…etc) with a flagrant gesture to distort and deviate international and regional attention from the real target: “secure the region’s resources by one single blow under its full control and on behalf of (or with) a powerful friend (USA), using the consent of needy allies (an economically suffering Europe)”.

The outcome of a flash “Preventive/Pre-emptive Attack” scenario would be:

Ø  Weakening the Iranian economy through political isolation, sanctions and cutting provisions from Russia and China,

Ø  Obliterating Iran’s nuclear programmes,

Ø  Destroying Iran’s infrastructure,

Ø  Reducing Iran’s military capabilities to the minimum permitted defensive levels,

Ø  Removing the Hezbollah threat(*) once and for all, and destroy its missile and rocket launchers in Lebanon,

Ø  Discouraging Arab countries from any kind of friendly relations with Iran, and destabilizing the ones who maintain close relations with it like Syria,

Ø  Mobilising the Iranian mass against the régime and place a “friendly moderate” government,

Ø  Increasing political pressure over Turkey and reactivate the Euphrates Water negotiations,

Ø  Ensuring an internal political victory for the Likud and secure the second term,

Ø  Maintaining the role of the “Only Caretaker” of Western interests in the Middle East & North Africa,

Ø  Tightening the grasp over the American decision making centres to increase the pressure over the White House to endorse and support Israel policy, and

Ø  Securing its undeclared role as the only trustworthy and reliable partner in the “One World Government  Corporation”, aka the “New World Order”.

That’s not the entire story. As history repeats itself, you may further elaborate on the Isramerican declared “reasons” aiming to convince the world that “a preventive/pre-emptive strike in Iran is legitimate and is the only resourceful solution to make peace prevail”!!

So stay around and.. Pass On The Word.

(*)According to Israeli official intelligence reports, the Hezbollah Special Forces are in-effect a highly trained and well-equipped commando force of at least a Brigade in size. They man and protect a large number of mostly unguided and rather crude rockets, generally Katyusha 122mm artillery rockets with a 19 mile/30km range and capable of delivering approximately 66 pounds/30kg of warheads, and a considerable number of more advanced and longer range missiles.

In the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War (called the Second Lebanon War in Israel), After over 50 Merkava main battle tanks were hit, and the high tech American made warplanes and pinpoint weapons proved ineffective, Israel had to chose to either use neutron bombs (a type of nuclear weapon that produces a higher short term radiological output and less blast output than normal nuclear weapons) or lose a large number of Israeli solders to remove the Hezbollah threat; or declare peace and walk away for the time being .. the Israelis chose the latter.

The Debriefing/briefing Process.

A simple but most efficacious method for the rehabilitation of certain individuals in order to reintegrate them effectively into new systems, same as the alternative training for those with specific job experiences to adapt to completely new functions. The method is also used in certain cases of “Mind Control” and “Behaviour Modification” techniques.

It goes back to the early days of the great Chinese Empire, when the victorious war lords “Re-Educated” the defeated and the prisoners of war in custody, the method was subject to several refining and developments in the time of Mao’s “Cultural Revolution” and by General Giap with the defeated South Vietnamese. Both, Mao and Giap, did not use neither the “Trauma-Based”, as did the Khmeir Rouge militias, nor the “Electronic-Based” techniques as adopted by the “Montauk Project” in USA.

Mao and later on Giap, each rising victors out of distress situations decided to involve the people in what they named the “People’s Court” to sentence those of being found guilty of “anti revolutionary activities” as in China, or “enemy of the people” as in the case of South Vietnam, the court’s verdict would sentence the guilty to serve “X years” to be executed one third in solitary confinement and two thirds in forced labour in agriculture. Cultivating camps in order to let those individuals do what they have never done in their lives before, especially the ex- régime’s political hierarchy.

Even though my personal preferences tend otherwise, yet I see such system extremely productive as it is:

v  Cost effective

v  Time efficient

v  Easy to control

v  Mass manipulative

v  Revolutionary coherent

Basically what is required to make such a scheme function after any revolution?

In order to avoid chaos after any social trauma, he who wants to seize control must quickly decide, chose and constitute a special court, parallel to other important decisions that I will mention later here below, to speed up and try immediately, openly and transparently, the cases of the people vs. whomever is charged with office abuse, profiteering, mismanagement of national resources, embezzlement, bribery, fraud and I would say even treason to the constitution, and then send them to work as farmers cultivating camps, not behind prison walls or in prison farms, but in fertile rural areas in farmers villages in the deep country side of the territory, where they would be controlled by the local population and the local law enforcement.

Of course an essential part of the sentence should be confiscating all their haves proven to have been accumulated from fraud, abuse, mismanagement, extortion, embezzlement, bribery…etc.

The efficiency of this method appears in many folds:

v  Open trials bring together the mass in support of the new system.

v  The quick handling of the entire process is vital to maintain control.

v  Convincing the uncertain of the new system’s will to achieve change and activate reforms.

v  Avoiding waste of energy and economic resources in long civil courts traditional trials.

v  Re-educate the sentenced individuals in order to re-integrate them back in society.

However it is imperative, for such a method to achieve the maximum of results, to adopt few additional steps and execute them effectively and efficiently parallel and beside the quick public trials:

Ø  To assign a special “Constituents Assembly” the task of formulating a new election laws and a new constitution guaranteeing the full separation of powers between the institutions in a free civil democratic parliamentary republic. No more presidential systems the old ways, proven to be corruptible and as such easy to manipulate and blackmail dragging it, and the country, away from national interests and objectives.

Ø  To present a fully detailed national programme of reforms for a “Public General Referendum”, based upon the essential vital needs of the country in terms of Education, Health, Agriculture, Environment, Economy, Defense and Foreign Policy. Which should be the country’s strategic doctrine no matter of which political colour would be the elected government’s flags.

Ø  To establish the regulatory norms prohibiting any public finance to political parties, to press and mass communications vehicles, to electoral campaigns…etc. As well to provide the decrees monitoring and controlling the transparency of such finances from other sources nationally or internationally.

Ø  To empower human rights and survey over any breach or violation that should be confronted legally immediately.

Ø  To regulate, via special laws, the “Conflict Of Interest” as an imperative prohibitive measure in public service.

Ø  To resuscitate the frozen law known as “Where this is from” to control the public service wealth.

Ø  To establish sever and exemplary sentences for “Tax Evasion”.

But before and above all to maintain the sovereignty and independence of the “Juridical Institution”, the “Syndical Organisations”, “Labour Unions” and the “Press”.  Being the defending organs of Democracy.

Pass On The Word.

Once upon a time, Ninety Four Years Ago….

Mr. Robert John, the distinguished historian revisionist from the Institute for Historic Review, teaches us that “attempts to review historical records impartially often reveal that blame, culpability, or dishonor are not to be attached wholly to one side in the conflicts of the last hundred years. To seek to untangle fact from propaganda is a worthy study, for it increases understanding of how we got where we are and it should help people resist exploitation by powerful and destructive interests in the present and future, by exposing their working in the past”.

I agree to that and urge upon our younger generations to search and study, from various sources, all the material they can get to formulate their proper opinion and refine their overview and deepen their knowledge, but above all “Never To Forget” and always remind themselves of their fathers mistakes in the past so as never to repeat them in the future, and teach their children to teach their children and so on till that process becomes a tradition to be passed on rigorously from one generation to another.

The only successfully proven way to overcome the generation gap, is the accurate and constant transmission of traditions as the most solid base for a society’s collective conscience and culture. We learned that from the simple nomad tribes, who continue to maintain a strict social coherence just doing that, and as such all members of the tribe are active participants in the making of their tribe’s future.   

Today, November the 2^nd 2011, strikes the 94^th memory of that infamous document a Government may ever produce. Thus I brought to you part of my last book in that regard, “Requiem For The Dream”, as a reminder and a warning that over the Chess Board of the international political game, only interests prevail over logic or justice.. Only ice cold interests.

The sad thing about such a “civilised fact” is that the innocent (or if you wish the unprepared, ignorant, naïf, incompetent… make your own choice) settles the account! Always.

The main characteristics to notice about that document are:

Ø  It was written and delivered one year before the end of the Great War (WWI).

Ø  It preceded and became the pre-cursor to the most famous “Sykes/Picot Agreement”.

Ø  It was the fruit of months of elaborated and intensive work of diplomacy, finance, deception and extortion.

Ø  And as Arthur Koestler wrote: “one nation solemnly promised to a second nation the country of a third, more than that, the country was still part of the Empire of a fourth, namely Turkey”.      

Though I have a small correction to Mr. Koestler’s statement, mine would read: “A sovereign nation solemnly promised an ‘Extremist Political Movement’ the country of a second nation while still part of the Empire of a third”.

Anyway.. Here is the document.

The Balfour Declaration

A.J. Balfour

 

Foreign Office

November 2nd, 1917

Dear Lord Rothschild,

I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.

"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.

Yours sincerely,

Arthur James Balfour

Now I will not tell stories about the past right in here, for I dedicated an entire book for that purpose entitled “Requiem For The Dream”. Instead I will come straight to the point: if you find in yourself the will and the need to have an active part, then get in touch with the “Palestinian Return Centre” and offer your assistance doing whatever you are fit and ready to do, any added effort is a mutual win for Palestinians in their inhuman “Diaspora”, but mostly for you to stand straight by the end of the day knowing that you have done once more the right thing.

Just allow me to place for you hereunder a brief account on Palestinians in their “Diaspora”, as per a UN report published in 2010:

Fast facts

      The total number of displaced Palestinians worldwide is 7.1 million, including: 6.6 million refugees, and 427,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs).

      67 percent of all Palestinians worldwide are either refugees or IDPs

      4,766,670 refugees are registered with UNRWA.

      UNRWA definition of Palestinian: “People whose normal place of residence was Palestine between June 1946 and May 1948, who lost both their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict”. As a rule, those displaced after 1948 do not qualify for UNRWA assistance - More than one million refugees whose displacement dates back to 1947-1948 are not registered with UNRWA.

      340,016 Palestinians are registered with UNHCR.

Timeline

      29 November 1947: By approving Resolution 181, the UN General Assembly adopted a plan to partition the 1923-48 British Mandate of Palestine.

      November 1947-July 1949: War in the British Mandate of Palestine led to the flight of over 720,000 Palestinians, according to the UN. Non-UN estimates for the number of refugees displaced in 1948 range from 400,000 to almost one million.

      9 April 1948: The Deir Yassin massacre just outside Jerusalem in which over 100 Palestinians were killed, shocked civilian Palestinian populations throughout the British Mandate of Palestine.

      11 December 1948: By issuing Resolution 194, the UN General Assembly recognized the Palestinian refugees' right to return to their homes. To date, this resolution has not been implemented.

      14 May 1948 - July 1949: Hours after British withdrawal from the British Mandate of Palestine on 14 May 1948, the state of Israel was declared on 78 percent of that territory. Following the Arab rejection of the UN Partition Plan to divide Palestine between Jews and Arabs, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq(*) invaded Israel.

      July 1949: Israel reached armistice agreements with Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt.

      1 May 1950: UNRWA began its field operations.

      5-10 June 1967: War broke out between Israel and Egypt, Syria and Jordan. As a result of the conflict, an additional 100,000-300,000 Palestinians became displaced.

      1967-present day: Estimates vary greatly on the annual rate of new displacements, but Palestinian sources cite up to 20,000 newly displaced persons per year.

      Reasons for new displacement Include Israel's construction of a separation barrier in the West Bank and Jerusalem, the construction of illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, the revocation of residency rights and house demolitions.

The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) is a Palestinian establishment that is primarily concerned with the problem of the dispersed Palestinians and their struggle to return to their homes. It is, in nature, an academic and media institution that aspires to serve as an information repository and forum of political activity on the Palestinian question and the issue of the return in particular.

The main aims of the PRC:

1.      To promote the issue of the right to return both as a humanitarian and political concern.

2.      To preserve the Palestinian identity and resist the attempts to resettle the dispersed Palestinians.

3.      To increase and widen the awareness of the plight of the Palestinians in their places of refuge.

4.      To inform the general public in Europe and in Britain in particular about the true dimensions of the Palestinian drama.

(*) Isn’t it strangely interesting the fact that these countries are the ones who by the most are subjected to and suffering from Israeli/American political, economic, diplomatic and even belligerent continuous pressures and intimidations?

How many attacks on Lebanon under various excuses?

What happened and is still happening to an already dismembered and divided Iraq, with Israeli firms based there, for communications and contracting deals or to have a foot closer to Iran?

Who is igniting sectarian unrests by his well trained infiltrators, in Egypt and Lebanon as in Jordan?  

If you feel that I am manifesting the symptoms of a pathologic “National Paranoia”, then log out and may peace be upon you.

But you can also dig for yourself to discover the truth from the fantasy in what I said.
