Nor is the UN: The enemy of the people of the Middle East, as elsewhere, is the Corporate State government of the United States of America as inflicted upon the world through its economic and foreign policy:
In 1917 Bolshevik communist revolutionaries overthrew the post-tsarist, pro-war government. Their revolution was both anti-capitalist-imperialist and anti-racist. In part, one great question, that of the Jewish issue, drove their anti-racist policy.
1n 1917, in contrast to the Bolshevik policy of both class and race assimilation, the British government conspired with racist ideologist organizations that embraced Zionism as a colonial movement and the Balfour Declaration was issued:
Statement issued by the British government in 1917, which is often seen as the initiation of the process leading to the establishment of the State of Israel.
Issuing of the statement is believed to have been motivated just as much by British interests, as by the sympathy for the Zionist cause. At the eve of the World War I Britain needed the support from the World Jewry, which had been neutral, and which represented a large part of the population of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The declaration was drafted with the help of US President, Woodrow Wilson, who was a strong supporter of Zionism.
Secondly, Britain saw the need to protect the sea route to India, which passed through the Suez Canal, upon which much of Britain's economy relied. In accordance with the spirit of the time which emphasized the "self-determination of small nations", supporting Zionism would be the easiest way to secure lasting British influence in the region east of the Canal, especially because the Levant had been Ottoman until 1917.
Lord Rothschild, to whom the letter was addressed, was a leading British Zionist. <http://i-cias.com/e.o/balfour_d.htm> The Encyclopedia of the Orient.
The declaration proclaimed "Palestine" as a homeland for Jews.
1920: The United States leads counter-revolutionary forces in the invasion of the Soviet Union:
"Beginning in 1920 Allied armies led by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, seeking to prevent the spread of Communism or Russia's exit from the war effort, attempted to invade the Soviet Union and support forces hostile to the Bolsheviks with the intention of overthrowing the Soviet regime." <http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/History_of_the_Soviet_Union>
These royalist and capitalist nation's intent was to overthrow the first anti-capitalist, antiracist nation on earth. This social-economic policy was anathema to both the imperialist designs on the world and counter to the racist Christian ideology best known as Kipling's White Man's Burden, the racist, paternalistic aftermath of the European-American slave trade.
In the early 1940's the United States entered WWII against the nation of Japan through an aggressive and hostile US trade relations policy with Japan that Japan regarded as acts of war. Pearl Harbor was the Japanese response.
In a war to "save the world from Fascism" a new strain of international US foreign policy was birthed and a new world war would be its result.
1945: Despite ongoing attempts by the royalist government of Japan to negotiate surrender to the United States visa via the Soviet Union the United States chose to end the war through force and to launch the "Cold War," World War III:
On the morning of August 6, 1945 the United States Army Air Forces dropped the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima, followed three days later by the detonation of the "Fat Man" bomb over Nagasaki, Japan. <Wikipedia.>
Its was the declaration of war by the now industrialized United States, its capitalist-imperialist colonial policy against the USSR and Communist China and the colonized 3rd World. The USSR, the People’s Republic of China and the people of the 3rd Word were put on notice that the US would now contain both the socialist and national liberation movements. They would do so through the use of thermonuclear warfare if necessary, as Henry Kissinger would do when he so threatened “North Vietnam” on behalf of Richard Nixon during 1969-1972. (For a history of US nuclear threat use see: http://www.ieer.org/ensec/no-6/threats.html>
1948: The US and British nations led the European elitists in enacting the Zionist colonial plan for Palestine. A religious, racially separatist state named Israel became a reality. The pro-assimilation vision of internationalist socialist Zionist, movement, (Labor Zionist,) died still-born.
Despite the dual state proclamation of the United Nations it was clear that a Zionist ideologist, colonial state set amidst Islamic driven, anti-colonialism and the growing national liberation movements in the 3rd World would be doomed to war.
But in was in the long term, vested interests of the growing Corporate State that it establish a military outpost in the midst of the Petroleum Gold Mine of the world. The confluence of US led capitalist-imperialism, Conevangelical supremacist Christianity and Zionism engaged the native populations of the Middle East in what had been predicted:
An unrelenting mutual terrorist war of “acceptable collateral damage," and "collective punishment.”
The “Buck’ for this monstrous anti-humanitarian atrocity may pass through the hands of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists, Zionist warriors, autocratic Arab royalists and Christian-fascist “End Timers,” but it ends right at the Harry “the buck stops here” Truman’s ancestral, prophetic desk. That is, at the desk of the CEO of the new CSA: The Corporate State of America.
We may not be able to “fire” CEO George W. Bush, but we can impeach him and his Vice President for War, Dick Cheney, and try them and their allies as war criminals.
-the end-
