OBAMA IN WONDERLAND
A.Second front
President Obama recently visited the beaches of Normandy to pay
tribute to the thousands of D-Day soldiers who lost their lives
65 years ago in that "unimaginable hell".
We joined in wholeheartedly with his homage and listened with
deep sympathy as President Obama said:
"What we must not forget is that D-Day was a time and a place
where the bravery and the selflessness of a few was able to
change the course of an entire century,"
and
"It was unknowable then, but so much of the progress that would
define the 20th century, on both sides of the Atlantic, came
down to the battle for a slice of beach only 6 miles long and
2 miles wide,"
But President Obama had also said:
"Part of being a good friend is being honest,"
"I have no patience for people who deny history".
Therefore, we shall try to honestly unveil the hushed-up
roots and sequels of Normandy Landing. It's true that it
"changed the course of an entire century", but not in the
rosy sense implied by President Obama.
Aa.Strategic context
Attacking Germans where they were best prepared and fortified,
where assault meant rock climbing under tremendous fire,
lacking cover by armor and heavy weapons, seems contrary
to common sense and could be justified only in absence of
better options.
But there was an option and an incomparably better one.
It consisted in opening the second, central front along
Balkans-Poland line, cutting German east front from its
base and putting it in crossfire. Such a plan has been
suggested by the Polish and Czechoslovakian governments
in exile and praised by British military analysts.
However, it was denigrated and hushed up by FDR for
reasons explained in the following section.
Greece had a strong partisan organization and could be
liberated in October 1944 by a very small British force.
Yougoslavian partisans controlled large parts of their
mountains and were checking 14 out of 20 German divisions
in the Balkans.
Yugoslavia was separated by 400 km of Rumanian land from
Carpathians, partially controlled by Slovak and Polish
partisans. Being officially German ally, Rumania was not
controlled by Germans but by its own troops which, hostile
to Soviets, would gladly join western allies rather than
resist them.
The Polish underground Home Army counted hundreds of thousands,
whose battle hardiness and fighting determination was proved
by the uprising of the relatively small city of Warsaw, which,
abandoned by the allies and left to itself, held out for three
months against elite divisions of German troops and armour.
An invasion landing in partisan controlled part of Yougoslavia,
synchronized with a nationwide uprising in Poland and Slovakia
would open a second front based mainly on local forces. The American
contribution could have been limited to airborne arms delivery and
one or two thousand instructors - and executed practically without
any losses as compared with hundreds of thousands lost in the Normandy
option.
Ab.The Political roots
The political context of WWII finale was dominated by the
Yalta conference of February 1945. However, its spirit
hovered over the world much earlier and its foundational
cornerstones were laid in the Teheran Conference of November
1943, which decided upon the Normandy Landing to the
detriment of the central front.
Now, FDR's attitude and decisions vis-a-vis the Soviet Union,
were politically fatuous and morally amount to worst crimes
against humanity in the American history, to wit:
-Presenting Stalin with over 100 million Europeans, betraying
some staunchest US allies, sentencing them to slavery and to
extermination in Soviet concentration camps.
-Setting Poland's east frontier at the Curzon line and the
German at Oder-Neisse, which caused expatriation of 6 million
Poles and 10 million Germans of which over a million died in
the deportation.
-Agreeing to "repatriation" of over a million of Soviet POW's.
As result, they were handed over by the Americans to the
Russian authorities and forcefully deported to the Soviet
Union whether they wanted it or not. They were all good for
minimum 5 years of Siberian camps, suffering a mortality rate
of 80% by cold, hunger and abuse. Officially, because surrender
of even a wounded and unconscious soldier was considered by
the Soviet law as treason. Really, because those who had
experienced the democratic world had to undergo a period of
quarantine before being restored to circulation.
-Forbidding the Polish allied air force to bomb gas chambers and
rail and road access ways to death camps for fear of displeasing
Stalin by an intrusion into his sphere of influence - which
amounts to complicity in the Holocaust.
-initiating the Cold War with its sequels such as Korea and
Vietnam, by:
1.extending Soviet empire over important strategic areas
(Eastern Europe, Outer Mongolia, south Sakhalin Island,
the Kuriles).
2.consolidating Soviet power through $20 billion reparations
and acceptance of the Soviet plunder of East German industry.
What were the reasons of this criminal fatuity of FDR? It's
often explained by the disease which drastically impaired
his judgement. That may perhaps hold for Yalta, but certainly
not for Teheran, where he had full control of his faculties.
Was he manipulated by KGB agents? Without doubt, even if the
channels got mostly hushed up, but with one indubitably clear
exception:
Approaching her sixties, Eleanor Roosevelt replaced her
lesbian addiction with senile nymphomaniac infatuation for
the thirty years old and attractive KGB agent, Joe Lash.
And the sweet nothings whispered on the pillow had a dramatic
effect upon the nature of the post war world, when she later
cajoled and bullied with them her husband.
Warned by Hoover, Kibler and several FBI officers that the
First Lady is manipulated and that the Russians have through
her the access to top-secret American documents, FDR minimized
the issue and answered that he has nothing to hide from the
Russians, who are allies of the USA.
But manipulation can only work on naivety and, whatever
his conceit, heartlessness and petty cunningness, naivety
was the predominant feature of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
One may object that cunning and naivety are mutually
exclusive. And yet, in spite of the foxy ways of managing
his own political career, FDR was childishly naive in his
assessment of the world and of the international politics.
Just because Ussr had a beautiful constitution, he believed
that Stalin was leading it towards a perfect democracy,
worthy of ruling the world in a coequal partnership with
the USA. He believed that Soviets were a fair partner, that
they would be bound by Yalta treaty or other piece of paper.
Under this impression FDR designed a idealistically detailed
plan for free elections and democratic governance in Poland.
Recognizing the unique fait accompli of the military force
and occupation exerted by Red Army as an overriding argument
– the Soviets simply threw the American plans straight in
the trash can. The unilaterally bound parties were the USA
and her western allies whom he drew into the cold war by
making them play a game of gentlemen’s cricket against an
enemy knowing only the language of blackmail and guns.
But even the most acute foolishness rests in some foolish
reason and FDR's naivety followed the most naive "logic"
based upon +/-1 arithmetic.
Friend of my friend is my friend (1*1=1).
Enemy of my enemy is my friend (-1*-1=1). Thus USSR,
the enemy of my Nazi enemy was necessarily my friend.
Enemy of my friend is my enemy (-1*1=-1). Thus Finland,
fighting against USSR was necessarily my enemy.
FDR did not have a monopoly of noxious fatuity and his French
and British allies - initiated one of the most shameful acts
in their history - declared war on a tiny Finland defending
her existence against the monstrous Soviet giant. Fortunately,
they proved totally inefficient. FDR, not yet involved in the
war against Germany, did not declare war on Finland but damaged
her seriously by supplying the Russian side with weapons, food
and other necessities.
Whatever the particular attitudes of FDR's successors, they
preciously cultivated the inherited naive "logic". It underlaid
the Reagan's Doctrine considering Afghan mujahadin as friends
(enemies of USSR - which in the meantime became an enemy -,
thus friends of the USA). As result, the USA supported, supplied,
trained and nurtured Al-Quaida and the Taliban, etc. which bore
bitter fruit in such costly outcomes in lives and money as 911
and the sempiternal Afghan war.
And President Obama reasons more naively than anybody. Having
known Islam on three continents before visiting the region
where it was first "revealed", he noticed in this holy domain
the hostile cancerous excrescence known as Israel, which his
naive "logic" enjoins to eradicate. He is too cunning to say
so explicitly - he would not like to be impeached -, but all
his words and deeds imply it beyond any doubt (see "G.IN FDR'S
WAKE" below).
And yet, it's possible and advisable to consider Finland a
friend, in spite of her fighting (friendly) USSR; to consider
the jihad's mujahadin as enemies, in spite of them fighting
(enemy) USSR; and to consider both, Israel and Palestinians
as friends in spite of them fighting each other.
But for that one would need to scrap the naive "logic" and
to learn to think anew, applying a reality conformable logic
(such as ERN - Expression/Relation Network), supporting the
new reason, which Einstein requested saying:
"A new manner of thinking is essential if humankind is to survive."
In the critical situation that humankind is facing, one would
heartily welcome a President of the United States capable
of thinking rather than of disseminating naive and noxious
platitudes.
Ac.Contemporary sequels
We dwelt on FDR not because of historical interest, however
considerable, but due to the resurging actuality of his most
pernicious attitudes echoed by President Obama's initial
100 days.
Aca.Wonderland
Tantamount to FDR's naivety is President Obama's attitude of
moving in a Wonderland constructed in accordance with his
wishful thinking. It seems to underlie most if not all his
avowals and clearly appears in his position regarding the
Global Warming which may serve as a simple illustration of
his wishful dreams and as an introduction to their more
entangled and pernicious instances.
Acaa.Global warming (GW)
The earth's history is marked by the cyclic structure GW/GF
(Global Warming/Global Freezing) clearly due to reversible
natural causes, such as melting and re-freezing of ice caps,
which we shall use as a typical example.
White ice areas reflect sun radiation and dark ones absorb it.
The climate is stable as long as absorption and reflection stay
in equilibrium, but even a small distortion may upset it and
trigger a chain reaction. Some transient overheating makes
more ice melts, less heat is reflected and more absorbed, the
temperature rises, still more ice melts etc.
Nothing seems to stay in the way of the earth losing all its ice
caps and becoming a Sahara interspaced with hot seas. Yet,
each GW was followed by a GF, in turn by a GW, etc.
Which natural factor may reverse GW into GF and vice versa?
There are doubtless several, still mostly unknown, but for our
ice driven example the answer is clear: the salt.
Oceans are salted and salt waters freeze at lower temperature
than the sweet. Snows and ice melting copiously during the GW,
flood oceans with sweet water decreasing their salinity and
increasing the temperature at which they freeze so that when
a threshold is reached they start to freeze again and the phase
switches back to GF and a new glacial period is initiated.
We saw above that any transient overheating can instigate a
warming phase. The trigger could be an increase of sun emission,
or of the greenhouse effect of trapping the heat.
Thus, one may reasonably suppose that greenhouse triggered the
current GW.
However, its actuating effect proves no avail upon
entering the ice melting phase, which thrives by its own
recursion and cannot be "un-triggered" by decreasing CO2
emissions. You may trigger an avalanche by pulling the trigger
of your gun, but you won't stop it by pushing back the trigger.
Thus, it's not unreasonable to suppose that GW has been
triggered by human actions, but it's fatuous to pretend that
their reversion may revert it - at least in the real world.
Within the Wonderland it's reasonable
to pretend anything which pleases Alice or Obama. However, while
Alice is disinterested, President Obama favors such Wonderlandish
dreams which come true as real world's political boost.
Now, the strongest leverage in politics is hysteria and the
discovery of GW as hysterogenic political leverage has to be
ascribed to Margaret Thatcher, who did not care a button about
climate, but searched a ruse to suppress the revolt of callously
exploited coal miners. She suppressed it together with the
miners and the mines, to the advantage of the nuclear electricity
generation which was assumed - but failed - to cool down
the planet.
Using in her wake the GW hysteria some slick Gore may get
Noble Price and some astute politician may become President.
Wonderland citizen Al Gore’s "An Inconvenient Truth" of Al Gore exported
to real world's politics gives "A convenient Lie". Chosing
Gore as his GW mentor, President Obama clearly opted for
the convenient lie.
James Inhofe, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Environment and Public Works, put it in different words
asserting that Global Warming is the greatest hoax ever
perpetrated on the American people, using McCarthy-like
tactics to threaten and intimidate scientists; that to
challenge the "Green" is tantamount to committing
political suicide.
We don't have to worry. President Obama shows no suicidal
tendencies.
Acaaa.The modern Xerxes
Rome was not built in one day and Wonderland is not President
Obama's creation. Its origins get lost in primeval times and
its documented history goes back to Xerxes flagellating the
wicked disobedient sea with chains. And in the wake of Xerxes,
President Obama subscribes to flagellating the wicked disobedient
climate with - progress oblige - the modern version of chains -
the wind turbines.
Here we find ourselves in deep waters. Anything, even wind power
may become a sweet Wonderland's dream, but why should it find
grace in the eyes of real world's Greens?
It has several serious drawbacks:
-utmost inefficiency (Over 20000 windmills produce 1.25%
of German electricity).
-environment devastation comparable in Germany with that
of the 30 years war,
-choking of all pertinent renewable energy options,
-and last, but not least, effects used by the Nazis as
tortures inflicted on neighboring populations.
A standard Green attitude will drastically diminish the
drawbacks and present them as a very low price for clean,
sustainable energy, which will defeat the GW and save
the planet.
Triple lie:
1.We have seen that the cleanest energy and even a complete
elimination of greenhouse emissions will not revert the GW,
once it has entered in its chain reaction.
2.Far from clean, wind power taken integrally with its
indispensable background reserves, is the most polluting form
of energy.
3.Far from being sustainable, wind-mills may last only as long
as their indispensable fossil reserves.
Indeed, wind power boils down to a political window dressing,
concealing the fossil reserves which perform practically all
the work in the background.
As it may sound incredible to the average reader, we shall
quote an excerpt of the report-2005 of E.On, the leading
German electricity provider controlling about 15 000 wind-mills:
"In 2004 two major German studies investigated the size of
contribution that wind farms make towards guaranteed capacity.
Both studies separately came to virtually identical conclusions,
that wind energy currently contributes to the secure production
capacity of the system, by providing 8% of its installed
capacity.
That is, wind power construction must be accompanied by almost
equal construction of new conventional power plants, which will
be used very nearly as much as if the wind turbines were not
there."
Translated into ordinary language, E.On considers wind power
as mere window dressing behind which the real work is done
by fossil reserves.
One may ask, why the construction of wind turbines is so
widespread, if they are inefficient, polluting, depletable, costly,
devastating environment, harmful to neighbors' health, life quality
and life itself?
Money is the answer. Wind power is one of the biggest frauds
of the century. The German wind mafia grifted in the present
decade 50 billion Euros from the taxpayers in form of
subventions, tax reductions, interest free credits and law
obliging providers to buy Wind Energy at 9 times the current
cost.
One estimates that 30% of this money goes to bribe, directly
or indirectly, involved politicians from ministers and
lawmakers to village mayors.
Yet, the Greens are too militant, too fanatical to be motivated
uniquely by corruption. There is another - religious - aspect
of their wind addiction. The most efficient marketing trick
raised the wind power to the Green "Eolism" - religion of the
Dieu-en-chef Eol, reigning over a constellation of minor
deities such as PV (photovoltaics) or Biomass - prophesied by
the chief priestess of German Greens with her Credo:
"MY CROSS HAS ROTATING ARMS".
Criticizing wind power is not an error, but anti-Eolist heresy,
which has to be crashed, not discussed.
And, in the best "Deus lo Vult" tradition, at the call of Eol's
pope Gore, President Obama embarks on the holy crusade against
the evil GW as its captain at the head of the G-8, offering
a sacrifice of $150 billion on the Eolist altar (from taxpayers'
pocket, amid the economic crisis) and with its help vowing to
limit the GW to 2 degrees.
One of the most irrational commitments in history, just as
silly as would be the pledge to decrease gravity. Yet, as
the Green priestess says - our mission is not to be rational,
but to proclaim the divine word of Eol.
Such inane irrationality is redolent of the strange coexistence
of naivety with cunningness, so typical of President Obama's
mentor FDR. Exported from Wonderland, the silly pledge becomes
a shrewd political manoeuvre. On the one hand it presently
gratifies the hysteric bandwagon and, on the other hand, it's
verifiable only in distant future, when President Obama's
political career will be long since fulfilled.
But there are ambitions exceeding the career. Though President
of the USA, who will not aspire to enter history as the best
of Presidents, as a Prometheus saving the planet and the mankind.
President Obama has tossed the coin with about equal odds for
and against political beatification regardless of any human
action. If it comes out he'll get the Nobel Prize as saviour
of the planet and of the mankind. If not, he'll get the same
prize, the blame being laid on his incompetent successors who
clumsily bungled his wonderful initiative.
BTW, haranguing on his GW crusade President Obama occasionally
stigmatizes pollution. But that's just small talk: he singles
out the harmless, if not beneficial, CO2 and overlooks toxic
smog components like Sulfur Dioxide/Trioxide, Photochemical
Smog, Nitrous Oxides, etc. and above all the worst of known
polluters, the battery breeding of animals.
But, at the end of the day the Wonderland's GW crusade is
not so frightfully important. Just a 150 billion fraud reward
for the Eolist mafia, among other billions monetary rewards
for fraudulent banks and industries. As said above, we mention
it as a simple illustration of President Obama's wishful dreams
and as introduction to their more complicated and pernicious
instances.
Acab.PEACEFUL DREAMS AND WILD REALITY
Acaba.Handshakes with thugs
Wodehouse attributes the death of a hunter to confusion of
ideas between him and a lion. He thought the lion was dead,
and the lion thought it wasn't, and there was nothing to be
done but pick up the pieces.
We might similarly imagine the death of a Wonderlander’s
peacenick as due to the confusion of ideas between him and
a thug - the peacenick extanding an open hand thinking that
the thug will turn into a friend, and the thug thinking that
to grab the extended extremity with one hand and to stab
the peacenick with the other is a better idea.
Confering verisimilitude on our vision, a concrete Wonderlandic
dreamer, to wit, President Obama, extanded an open hand to the
thug named Ahmadinejad. He thought that the thug will turn into
a crony and offer him a caviar feast, and the thug thought that
offering a deflagrating bomb is a better idea.
As of yet the bomb has not exploded and there are so far no
pieces to pick up. We are amid President Obama's extended 100
days, worriedly awaiting his foreshadowed Waterloo, after which
there will nothing to be done but pick up the pieces of Israel
and of American troops stationed in the Middle East and
Afghanistan.
At least some consolation is to be found in the certainty that
President Obama won't figure among the pieces.
B.ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT
In the real world the complexity of the conflict defies human
discernment. Just to mention a few if its aspects:
Ba.Geo-politics
Israel, slightly smaller than New Jersy, is a small country
with a population of 5.5 million Jews and is surrounded by
300 million hostile Arabs, who have brotherly ties to 1.4
billion Muslims worldwide. This hostility is not merely verbal,
but factual. From her very creation till the present day Israel
had to fight several full scale wars against overwhelmingly
powerful Arab armies determined to exterminate her population,
and in between - against unceasing terrorism.
3.8 million Palestinians (2,4 in the West Bank, 1,4 in Gaza),
experience a still worse situation, facing on the one hand
Israeli occupation and at the same time immersed in uniformly
hostile world - in theory downtrodden brothers of surrounding
Arabs, but de facto disdained cannon fodder, a stalking-horse
of Islamist Jihad.
4.1 million Palestinian refugees, descending from victims of the
1948 Arab aggression of Israel and concurrent victims of their
Arab host countries denying them integration, keeping them in
camps and occasionally slaughtering them, like in the Black
September or recently in Lebanon and conditioning them to serve
as cannon fodder for the holy cause of Jihad.
Bb.Backstage
With help of Orwell's "Animal Farm" the real source of
Israel-Palestine conflict boils down to Pigs on both,
Jewish and Muslim sides.
Bba.JEWISH SIDE
Here Pigs are clearly Orthodox Fundamentalists. Like those
of the Farm they sit safely back in American lobbies or
Israeli Yeshivot and other religious institutions exempted
from dangers of military duty. Like those of the Farm they
want to be owners of a State and to have that State biggest
possible. Like those of the Farm they get cold feet when it
comes to fight and they need dogs.
And they use the boys and girls of the Citizen Army as their
dogs.
One Israeli soldier killed in defense of their settlers calls
for all of them to be politically wiped out.
It is to be noted that they self-abusively call themselves and
and are called by others "Zionists", but Zionism propounding the creation of a home
for discriminated Jews was de facto fulfilled and finished at
the moment of creation of Israel which marked the achievement
of this goal.
Jewish Fundamentalists are not Zionists, nor decent Israelis,
nor believers in the genuine humane and tolerant Judaism.
They are just rabid Orwellian Pigs.
Bbb.MUSLIM SIDE
Here the picture is less clear. Daily we see the dogs in action,
- the Palestinian prisoners of Arab refugee concentration camps
turned by their Pigs into Wolfs. But who are exactly the Pigs?
We hear fanatic mullahs calling for the holy war, but the ropes
are pulled somewhere much deeper. CIA and Mossad must know where,
but for some reason they let dogs fight dogs and do not go for
the Pigs.
As for motivation, it is clear, all Pigs are alike: they want
the maximum, unconditional power in their own camp. None of
them is stupid enough to believe in jihad conquering the whole
world, exterminating USA, Russia, China, West Europe, etc.
But over a billion Muslims with all their oil is always nice
to take, the best way to reach the top is to let oneself be
carried along by the stream of mass hysteria and the best way
to build hysteria is holy war.
It's as simple as that. They want to get biggest possible share
of their own Muslim cake and tear one another to pieces struggling
for it.
All the rest is window dressing. Their declared brotherly commitment
for Palestine is balderdash. They do not care a button for Palestinians,
they actually hate them, keep them in concentration camps called
"refugee camps" and slaughter them occasionally like in the Black
September. They sacrifice them first as dogs blowing themselves up
for the holy cause of piggish interests and, second, as victims of
consecutive Israeli retaliations.
Bbc.Towards a solution
The Israel-Palestine conflict is a ramification, a timeless
campaign of the worldwide jihad, just as French and Italian
campaigns were ramifications of the WWII. And, as the idea
of separate Italian campaign peace amid the raging WWII
would be a glaring nonsense, in the same way it would be
a glaring nonsense to consider Israel-Palestine peace amid
the raging jihad.
The possibility of crashing jihad before long seems rather
far-fetched, as its western adversaries lack the insight
of its global scope and peril. Does this mean that Israel-
Palestine peace is out of the question? Unfortunately, it
would seem so, at least in the long term.
In the short or medium term, temporary peace may be achieved
conditional upon the elimination of the particular jihad
current which predominantly fires up the conflict. At the
time of going to press that current is clearly Iranian in
origin, including its proxies Hamas and Hesbollah. As long
as it is not neutralized - which is only possible by military
means, and appears highly improbable - the conflict may only
intensify and it's mindless to consider any sort of diplomatic
solution.
But, supposing the improbable arrived and the Iranian jihad
branch got neutralized, we are still far from plain sailing.
On the one hand, long years of hardship and misery having
been aroused in Palestine, a hatred of Israel thwarts any
peaceful coexistence and could possibly fire up desperate
intifadas even in absence of Iranian support.
On the other hand, Jewish fundamentalists believe that Moses
got the Promised Land from God and are determined to cash on
ruling it in his name. They'll certainly do their best to make
"Arab intruders quit Judea and Samaria and pitch their tents
somewhere else" - as their saying goes. They'll fail, but may
throw a lot of spanners in the works of peaceful coexistence.
This fanaticism apart, we face a fact of 260 000 settlers
living in West Bank and asking them in turn to pitch their
tents somewhere else would not be very easy.
C.WONDERLAND'S VIEWS AND ATTITUDES
Ca.Toilet horizon
But this extreme complexity does not penetrate Wonderland,
where President Obama's wishful thinking has declared that upon
forbidding permission to build a school toilet in an existing
settlement the enemies will turn to cronies and smoke a peace
pipe.
One may object that this dream concerns only the direct
actors - Israel and Palestine -, but what about Iranian
jihad with the proxies Hamas and Hesbollah at back door
into Israel. Well, what about it? The toilet panacea solves
everything. Once the toilet construction is forbidden, jihad
will cease and Iran with its proxies will join the peace
pipe revelry.
Peace at any price! Other peacenicks from another Wonderland,
that of the nineteen-thirties, spring to the mind.
In the real world they paved the way to war, playing de facto
the role of Nazi fifth column. Such was the case of Chamberlains,
Daladiers and of the manipulated bandwagon's device "Mourir pour
Danzig?". And those who refused to fight for Vienna, for Prag
and for Danzig paved the way to die in Auschwitz.
The belief in Wonderland is that it's enough to wave a banner
depicting Picasso's dove to comply the most demoniacal foe turn
on his back and, with all fours in the air enjoy a tummy-tickle
and purr like a kitten. Or, perhaps more appropriate for the case
in point, to raise the banner with a picture of a toilet and
the device "Mourir pour Tel Aviv?".
D.THE CAIRO CREED
The world was looking forward to President Obama's Cairo
speech, hoping for a level headed, rational outline of his
ideas to deal with critical problems the mankind is facing.
Instead we got a naive profession of faith deserving the
name of Cairo Creed.
The American constitution separates state from religion and,
while tolerating some harmless relics from the Declaration
of Independence, clearly forbids government agents in exercise
of their functions to foster or to glorify any religion by any
means such as prayers, sermons, displaying or invoking
sanctified symbols, etc. Even the rank and file functionaries,
e.g. school teachers are severely disciplined for infringing
this rule.
It boggles the mind to see the highest officer of all, the
President of the USA, infringing it flat out in exercise of
one of his top functions - that of presenting to the world
the cornerstones of his policy. Indeed, when all is said and done,
the Cairo speech boils down to a sermon glorifying Islam and
fostering it as a resplendent global and American ideology.
We embark here on the most delicate aspect of our essay, the
balancing act attempting to criticize the inappropriate Islam
preaching by the USA President, without falling into anti-Islam
polemic. Some of our factual or Koranic quotations, taken out
of context may look polemical, but they are uniquely destined
to clear up the misrepresentations abounding in the Cairo
speech. It's he who misuses and misrepresents an ideology,
who disrespects it, not he who clears up the misemployments.
It is perfectly natural and rational to consider, to study,
to quote and to respect Koran and Bible, as factual, historic
foundations of the respective civilizations, which have
moulded their societies, cultures, traditions and habits.
But it's neither natural nor rational for a president of a
secular country to deliver a sermon qualifying the Scriptures
as "Holy", and "God" as the absolute, transcendental
foundation. That is totally indigestible for a secular
rationalist, who simply does not understand the metaphysical
sense of "Holiness" and "God".
Da.A few excerpts:
"A world where ... the rights of all God's children
are respected."
"The Holy Koran tells us ..."
"The Holy Bible tells us ..."
"The people of the world can live together in peace. We
know (?) that is God's vision."
"May God's peace be upon you."
"I believe that America holds within her the truth that ...
all of us share common aspirations ... to love our families,
our communities, and our God."
Db.A few misrepresentations of Islam's Scriptures and practice.
Dba.Women's rights
President Obama:
"The sixth issue that I want to address is women's rights.
I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses
to cover her hair is somehow less equal, but I do believe that
a woman who is denied an education is denied equality.".
If she really chooses, but she never does. She may be so
conditioned and terrorized that she believes to chose, as
a KZ inmate was choosing a striped uniform to fit his size.
Suras 33:59 and 24:31 of the Koran order her to wear hijab
and burka. And if she disobeys she gets 40 lashes of the
whip.
-A Sudanese woman journalist was preparing to be flogged 40
times in Khartoum today for wearing "indecent" clothes, with
10 women already whipped for similar offences against Islamic
law. (The Deccan Herald. Published 07/29/2009.)
The German journalist Udo Ulfkotte told in a recent interview
that in Holland, you can now see examples of young, unveiled
Moroccan women with a so-called "smiley". It means that the
girl gets one side of her face cut up from mouth to ear,
serving as a warning to other Muslim girls who should refuse
to wear the veil. In the Muslim suburb of Courneuve, France,
77 per cent of the veiled women carry veils reportedly because
of fear of being harassed or molested by Islamic moral patrols.
Hijab, the Islamic veil, is thus not "just a piece of cloth".
It serves as a demarcation line between proper, submissive Muslim
women and whores, un-Islamic women who deserve no respect and
are asking for rape. The veil should more properly be viewed as
the uniform of a Totalitarian movement, and a signal to attack
those outside the movement. Judged in the light of the Mufti who
said that women who don't wear it are asking for rape, how on
earth can the veil be said to be about "choice"?
Another case pertinent to the "sixth issue of women's rights"
and to "being denied an education":
UnNews:Saudi woman flogged for being gang raped:
23 December 2007
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia
- A nineteen year old Saudi woman was today convicted of
the heinous crime of being gang-raped by seven men.
The penalty for such a blatant violation of Islamic Law
has been set at a relatively conservative six months prison
time and 200 lashes.
...
Says the Saudi Minister of Justice: "This is a clear cut
case of adultery and sexual promiscuity, both of which
are unforgivable crimes in our culture. The defendant
in question was partially dressed in a parked car with
a man other than her husband, breaking dozens of our most
sacred laws by doing so. Additionally, this woman may have
been partially educated, at least enough to show basic
writing skills, which constitutes a violation of many of
our oldest irrevocable traditions. Portraying this person
as the victim in this case would be offensive to any
self-respecting Saudi."-
These cases present in a nutshell women's rights under Islamic
law and in particular the right to education "which constitutes
a violation of many of our oldest irrevocable traditions".
And that in "law obeying" countries, enforcing these rights
by legitimate "courts of law".
Arbitrary humiliations, flagellations and murders of women under
the Islamic law applied by fundamentalists such as the Taliban,
cannot even be quoted. They fall with smashed dogs in the
category of short news items which are not documented.
But there is something to say for burkas - they conceal so
well the poor mutilated female bodies. For, besides choosing
to wrap herself, Muslim woman chooses to be genitally
mutilated.
Says President Obama: "it is important for Western countries
to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion
as they see fit - for instance, by dictating what clothes
a Muslim woman should wear."
Nor, - let's complete - by impeding Islamist citizens from
humiliating, flagellating, mutilating and murdering women
as they see fit.
When all is said and done, we tend to agree with President
Obama that a woman who chooses to be humiliated, flagellated,
mutilated and murdered is not less equal. Only, in the
Islamist Animal Farm some animals are more, much more equal
than others.
Dbb.Islam's tolerance
President Obama says: "throughout history, Islam has
demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities
of religious tolerance and racial equality."
Well, let's have a look at a few words and deeds.
Dbba.Words
Koran 005:033
This is the recompense of those who fight against God and
His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption
there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their
hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they
shall be banished from the land.
Koran 8:012
...make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into
the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off
their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

CONQUEST OF INDIA
Will Durant, the famous historian summed it up like this:
-The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest
story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident
moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate
complex of order and freedom, culture and peace, can at any
moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or
multiplying within.-
Koenraad Elst , the German historian writes in
"Negation in India":
-The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for
the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire cities
were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds
of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar numbers
deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally)
his hills of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest of Afghanistan
in the year 1000 was followed by the annihilation of the
Hindu population; the region is still called the Hindu Kush,
i.e. Hindu slaughter. The Bahmani sultans (1347-1480) in
central India made it a rule to kill 100,000 captives in a
single day, and many more on other occasions. The conquest
of the Vijayanagar empire in 1564 left the capital plus large
areas of Karnataka depopulated. And so on.
As a contribution to research on the quantity of the Islamic
crimes against humanity, we may mention that the Indian
(subcontinent) population decreased by 80 million between
1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi
Sultanate).-
E.SCIENCE AND RELIGION
President Obama: "As a student of history, I also know civilization's
debt to Islam. It was Islam - at places like Al-Azhar University -
that carried the light of learning through so many centuries,
paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment.
It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the
order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation;"
Half truth is the worst of lies, as by contesting its false
part one seems to contest the true and thus seems always wrong.
To say that Islam developed algebra is like saying that
Christianity developed heliocentrism. A contestant will be turned
to a biased ignorant: was 15th century Poland not Catholic and
Copernicus not a Catholic priest? True, half true - Copernicus
developed heliocentrism not because, but in spite of Catholicism,
in fear of Inquisition, which condemned and burned some of his
followers.
And so was developed algebra, not because, but in spite of
Islam. Science was never developed by religion. At best, some
religious establishments could more or less tolerate it.
F.BIASED VIEW OF THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT
President Obama: "It is easy to point fingers - for Palestinians
to point to the displacement brought by Israel's founding, and
for Israelis to point to the constant hostility and attacks
throughout its history from within its borders as well as
beyond."
Fa.Twisting history
Palestinians' displacement was not brought by Israel's
founding, but by Arab invasion of 1948. If they had accepted
the UN partition, they would have had more than what they claim
today without wars, without refugees, without occupation,
without suffering and misery, in peace and prosperity.
This self-inflicted displacement is incomparable with Israel
having to resist several full scale wars of overwhelmingly
powerful Arab armies determined to exterminate her population,
and in between - the unceasing terrorism.
Fb.Misrepresenting the refugees problem
President Obama: "On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the
Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in
pursuit of a homeland. For more than sixty years they have
endured the pain of dislocation. Many wait in refugee camps
in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of
peace and security that they have never been able to lead."
Let's see why and what for are they waiting.
4.1 million Palestinian refugees, descend from victims of the
1948 Arab aggression of Israel and are concurrent victims of their
Arab host countries denying them integration, keeping them in
camps and occasionally slaughtering them, like in the Black
September or recently in Lebanon. And conditioning them to serve
as cannon fodder for the holy cause of Jihad.
That's why they are waiting.
And what for? For Israel being wiped out from the map and
her people exterminated.
Fc.Responsibilities
It is a glaring hostility to Israel doubled with Wonderland's
toilet horizon embodied in:
"the only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to
be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each
live in peace and security.
That is in Israel's interest, Palestine's interest, America's
interest, and the world's interest. That is why I intend to
personally pursue this outcome with all the patience that the
task requires.
The obligations that the parties have agreed to under the Road
Map are clear. For peace to come, it is time for them - and all
of us - to live up to our responsibilities."
As if it could be done with the Iran headed, fierce jihad and
its proxies at back door into Israel. But in Wonderland, any
daydreams of President Obama come automatically true and embody
his idea to live to his responsibilities.
G.IN FDR'S WAKE
Ga.Betraying Israel
As FDR betrayed and sold his staunchest allies, so is
President Obama betraying and selling his staunchest ally
- Israel.
A morbid analogy springs to the mind:
As FDR's forbidding Polish Air Force to bomb gas chambers
and access ways to death camps largely contributed to the
holocaust, so Obama's forbidding Israeli Air Force to
overfly Iraq and to bomb Iranian nuke sites foreshadows
a second holocaust.
Both Israeli and Iranian. Instead of limited casualties of
the preamptive attack, "peace" with Iran augurs an Iranian
nuclear attack and Israeli retaliation, i.e. annihilation
of Tel Aviv and Teheran and millions of victims.
Professor Paul Eidelberg: The Anti-Israelite Obama Agenda
From: eidelberg@foundation1.org
Extract:
March 19 report in Israel Today. I quote:
A former top US intelligence official warns that the Obama
Administration is about to break America's long ties of
friendship with Israel, and maybe even take steps toward
the dissolution of the Jewish state. Speaking on condition
of anonymity to Douglas Hagmann of the Northeast Intelligence
Network, the source said: "The Obama Administration is
preparing to provide more support to Arab countries [with]
financial and military aid, undercutting Israel's defense
efforts while pushing Israel to succumb to the pressure
of unreasonable demands designed to end with their political
annihilation as a nation."
In "Sleeping with the Devil", ex-CIA agent Robert Baer reveals
that former high officials in Washington luxuriate on the
Saudi payroll. The Saudis energize US support for a Palestinian
state. Saudi petro-dollars build mosques and buy influence
in American universities. They are driving a wedge between
America and Israel and Obama is accelerating the process.
H.MUSLIM CONQUEST OF THE WEST
Ha.Conquest of America
In the Cairo speech President Obama said:
-... freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to
practice one's religion. That is why there is a mosque in every
state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders.
That is why the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the
right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those
who would deny it.
So let there be no doubt: Islam is a part of America. And I believe
that America holds within her the truth that regardless of race,
religion, or station in life, all of us share common aspirations
- to live in peace and security; to get an education and to work
with dignity; to love our families, our communities, and our God.
These things we share. This is the hope of all humanity.-
-I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story.
... And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the
United States. They have fought in our wars, served in government,
stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our Universities,
excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest
building, and lit the Olympic Torch.
and speaking to Le Monde:
-Les Etats-Unis et le monde occidental doivent apprendre a mieux
connaitre l'islam; d'ailleurs, si l'on compte le nombre d'Americains
musulmans, on voit que les Etats-Unis sont l'un des plus grands
pays musulmans de la planete.-
or, in English:
-The United States and the Western world must learn to better
understand Islam; incidentally, if one counts the number of Muslim
Americans, one sees that the United States are one of the greatest
Muslim countries of the planet,-
It boggles the mind. Whatever an Italian, Polish or Sherpa
immigrant could achieve in the USA, USA is not Italy, Poland
or Nepal. There are so many misrepresentations of demography
and culture in these assertions that one wonders where to
start refuting them.
President Obama's "nearly seven million American Muslims in our
country today" flies in the face of rigorous statistics:
A. According to an academic review of available survey-based
data in 2001, informed by information provided by Muslim
organizations and mosques, the highest reasonable total
number of Muslims in the United States is 2.8 million.
A more realistic number, supported by statistically significant
survey data comparable to what has been used to to calculate
the sizes of other religious groups, is less than 2 million
Muslims in the United States, or about 0.5% of the total
population.
And, whatever their number, American culture has strictly nothing
to do with Islam, but it is is a balance of Judeo-Christianity and
secularism. Tolerant American secularism provided laws protecting
the freedom of Judeo-Christian cult which are misused to import
and to protect cruel, intolerant, inhuman aœnd anti-American Islamist
rules.
Against the 2-3 million Muslims we may set 10 million Polish
Americans. The first Poles in North America arrived in the
Virginia Colony in 1608. Early Polish immigrants of note
included Jacob Sodowski, Kazimierz Pulawski and Tadeusz
Kosciuszko, who were active in America around the time of
the Revolutionary War. Other than to Islam, America owes a
lot to them, but it would be a folly to call America a
great Polish country.
25 million Italian Americans outnumber tenfold the Muslims
and America with the whole West is tributary to Italy for its
science, art and preeminent contribution to the Enlightenment.
Yet, it would be a folly to call America a great Italian
country.
In the 2000 U.S. Census, nearly 2 million Americans claimed
Russian ancestry, and almost the same number listed "the
Soviet Union" as the country of their family origins.
After Poles, Russians are today the largest Slavic group in
the United States and, for particular causes and conditions
of their immigration, count relatively more scientists, artists,
etc., than any other immigration group. Just to mention a few
of several hundreds: Yul Brynner, Harrison Ford, Sergei
Rachmaninoff, Igor Stravinsky, Isaac Asimov, Vladimir Nabokov,
Alexandre Soljenitsyne, Joseph Brodsky, George Gamow, Wassily
Leontief, Igor Sikorsky ...
One may say without exaggeration that American current culture
owes more to Russian Americans than to any other ethnic group.
Yet, it would be a folly to call America a great Russian
country.
Why, in spite of all those debts and contributions, there is no
problem of Polish, Italian or Russian minorities? Because,
whatever their ethnicity, they are not social or political
minoroities. There is no combat for freedom of Italian
expression. No Polish M.L.King fights against discrimination
of Poles. Most Americans don't know much about Russian
Orthodox churches and those that do, go there occasionally
to hear the magnificent choirs, just as the Russians go to
Baptist churches to hear the Negro Spirituals. To put it in
nutshell, all immigrant ethnies that compose the USA are
integrated.
With exception of Muslims.
Italian Americans are not Italians, but Americans having some
additional folkloric habits, like others may cultivate kite
flying or skiing. But American Muslims are Muslims living by
chance in America, which in no way impacts their essential
Islamic rules and attitudes. And, according to Islamic teaching
and tradition, they endeavor to impose them on all infidels.
It's far from achievement. In spite of President Obama's
wishful thinking, America is not yet Muslim but it may well
become it one day, if the Muslim conquest is - as it appears -
supported by the American President.
If this day comes, the already advanced European conquest
allows us to imagine it beforehand.
Hb.The Conquest of Europe
Europe is what it is, due to having defeated two deadly Muslim
conquests the first by Charles Martel at the Battle of Poitiers
in 732, and the second by the Polish King Sobieski, who heading
the Polish relief of the Vienna siege, smashed the Ottoman army
in 1683.
But Europe won't stay long what it is, because one can
hardly see how the concurrent third conquest can be
defeated.
On the one hand it is already half way through. Millions of
Muslims abusing of tolerant Democracies have penetrated Europe,
established themselves in welfare provided quarters, eradicating
European culture in their neighborhoods and replacing it with
imported rules and attitudes often appearing to the autochthons
as barbarities and sparking more or less violent confrontations.
The key to the problem is integration and assimilation.
Like America, several European countries have many Polish, Italian,
Russian or Vietnamese immigrants. But one does not hear about
Italians making world wide stir because a cartoonist made fun of
the Porca Madonna, nor about Poles murdering a filmmaker who
ridiculized "stupid Polacks", nor about Russian riots injuring
hundreds, burning thousands of cars and devastating whole districts,
nor about Vietnamese terrorist attacks.
But one gets all that from Muslim immigrants. What is the
difference between Muslims and other immigrants? Mainly,
their view of the country that takes them in. Poles and
Italians saw in France an opportunity to get better jobs and
the living quality superior to what they had at home.
Russians and Vietnamese saw additionally in France a life
saving asylum from Gulag oppression. They all like, if not love
France with her habits and consider their own traditions not
as antagonistic. but as complementary. They may be called
"immigrants" in full and positive sense.
But Muslims come not as immigrants, but as conquerors and
colonizers. They despise and dislike, if not hate Europe.
They bring along the bags of their ideology - irreconcilable
with the European - which they intend to impose, requesting
Sharia to replace local laws.
A particularly odious example of colonizers despising the
autochthons is the "rape jihad".
Rape jihad
As Robert Spencer has demonstrated, rape can indeed be linked
to Islamic teachings of Jihad, and even to the example of
Muhammad himself, his Sunna. Above all, it is connected to
Islamic notions of the role of women in society, and their
behaviour in the public sphere. An Islamic Mufti in Copenhagen
declared publicly that women who refuse to wear headscarves are
"asking for rape."
Does the Koran permit rape?
Yes. Here's the verse:
(4:24) "And all married women are forbidden unto you EXCEPT
those captives whom your right hand possesses. It is a decree
of Allah for you."
Thus Islam authorizes Muslim men to rape women as long as
the latter are not Muslims, or refuse to wear headscarves.
And concerning paedophilia, this is what Imam Khomeini,
the top shia authority says:
"A Muslim man can have sexual pleasure with a little girl
as young as a baby. But he should not penetrate her vaginally,
however he can sodomize her". (Tehriro vasyleh, fourth
edition, Qom, Iran, 1990)
But, let's give the floor to Muslim rapers and let's hear in
their own words what they think about raping Europeans.
An excerpt from discussion with Ali, Hamid, Abdallah and
Richard, who committed the gang rape in Rissne.
All four have disparaging views on Swedish girls, and think
this attitude is common among young men with immigrant
background. "It is far too easy to get a Swedish whore - girl,
I mean;" says Hamid, and laughs over his own choice of words.
"Many immigrant boys have Swedish girlfriends when they are
teenagers. But when they get married, they get a proper woman
from their own culture who has never been with a boy.
That's what I am going to do. I don't have too much respect
for Swedish girls. I guess you can say they get fucked
to pieces."
Conquerors in infidel country, Muslims consider Swedish
bareheaded girls as blond whores asking for rape.
The Judeo-Christian/secular America has overcome racial
prejudices and Black woman is respected as any other one.
Only Islamists - conquerors in infidel country - consider
bareheaded Black woman as a Black whore asking for rape and
if Muslim - for a smiley.
One wonders if President Obama realizes that that's what he
really supports.
I.EPILOGUE
Ia.Konrad Wallenrod
In the 14th Century Lithuania was in danger to be exterminated
by the Orden of Teutonic Knights. Konrad von Wallenrode, the
Orden's Grand-Master proclaimed a crusade against Lithuania.
He let a prodigious army to a disaster due to fallacious strategy
and finally fled the battlefield leaving his troops to be
slaughtered. Conduct totally incompatible with the established
fame of his strategical excellence and knightly bravery.
Unless we assume that he was a Lithuanian who, whitewashing his
birth details, had entered the Orden and ascended to its top,
in order to shatter it.
Mickiewicz based upon his story the famous epic "Konrad Wallenrod".
Would President Obama be a Muslim Wallenrod who likewise
ascended to the top of the Great Satan in order to shatter it?
One hopes - not, but then it's well imitated.
H.TO MY MUSLIM FRIEND
Note from the author
My Muslim friend, whether my former Palestinian student or
colleague, or my friend and collaborator from France, Germany,
or England, if you have the impression that I betrayed our
friendship and our common ideas by writing a anti-Islamic
diatribe, please reread it after having perused this note.
I have quoted some cruel (and by our standards) inhuman
statements which are to be found in the Koran. But it was only
in order to counter President Obama's assertions that the Koran
was uniformly human and tolerant.
In parts, the Bible and the Koran are equally cruel and inhuman.
Here are just a few quotes from the Bible:
-Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all
that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the
congregation stone him.--24:14
-He that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put
to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him.--24:16
-But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give
thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.
--20:16-17
-But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found
for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of
her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with
stones that she die.--22:20-21
Yet we agreed, my friend, that the supreme moral arbiter is the
conscience. Religious Scriptures and secular laws are rules of thumb
which are often useful to order our daily behavior, but in the case
of a conflict with the conscience - overridden and disregarded.
Whether Scriptures or secular laws, have to be interpreted before
being applied - and passed through the sieve of conscience separating
the chaff from grain
Judeo-Christianity has largely overcome its intolerance and cruelty
and, in association with enlightened secularity has founded societies,
whose laws are harmonious with the citizens' conscience.
Some enlightened Muslim countries follow a similar progress pattern.
But some fanatic Islamist states and movements repress free conscience
and impose cruel, inhuman rules internally by brutal police methods
and externally by wars and terrorism.
We would both, my friend, welcome an American President supporting
a new enlightenment against the forces of fanaticism, rather than
naively and - let's hope - inadvertently supporting the latter.
