Commentary
"No blood for Oil" is a misleading Slogan of the Peace Movement
Bush-Sharon
target is Islam: Imperialism and its tool,
Israel,
is the Cause of War
by Buut Shikan (Idol Breaker)
One of the oft-repeated slogans of the peace movement is: "No blood for
oil." It is a very attractive and effective slogan but is
it based in reality?
Look at the facts: The U.S. already controls the world's
oil:
The main oil producers are in America's pocket. These are:
1. Saudi Arabia
2. Kuwait
3. Nigeria
4. Qatar
5. United Arab Emirates and Bahrain
Qaddafi, one-time revolutionary, has confessed that Libya
is cooperating with U.S. intelligence agencies.
Another "has been" revolutionary, IRAN, is selling oil all over the world,
including to the U.S. Iran is anti-Taliban, anti-Saddam, anti-Osama bin
Laden, in league with India (silent over Kashmir) and Russia (silent over
Chechnia). Its
pro-Palestinian
rhetoric is nothing more than that: empty rhetoric.
Indonesia too is in the American-British pocket
There is so much oil available that pro-U.S. factions are recklessly on
strike in Venezuela trying to topple left-wing President Chavez. The oil
flow from Venezuela (a major U.S. supplier) is being affected
but the U.S. is not calling off or criticizing the strikers and
demonstrators against Chavez. The
price of gasoline at the pump as gone up by 15 to 25 cents
in the U.S. owing to events in Venezuela.
Readers might remember, Saddam Hussain ordered that the pumping of oil from
Iraq be stopped for ONE WHOLE MONTH to oppose the atrocities of a
U.S.-funded Israel against the Palestinian people. The countries listed
above did not cooperate with Saddam; hence his move was ineffective and
he had to resume pumping. [Iraq is permitted to sell oil in connection with
the "food-for-oil" program.]
If the sanctions were lifted, Iraq would provide cheap oil to the whole world
and an oil glut would result. The prices of oil would go down and the main
losers would be America's allies (listed above). Thus it is to America's
benefit NOT TO HAVE IRAQ pumping oil. Sanctions help America's economic
policies.
AMERICA IS NOT GOING IN TO GET MORE OIL OR TO CONTROL THE
OIL. It is already controlling the oil.
The American Left has an ideological weakness. It refuses to recognize
Islam as a revolutionary force. The Left cannot stomach the fact
that since the collapse of the USSR, the only global opposition to
America's global marketing thrust comes from Islam and Islam alone. Note:
1. The Islamic family system is still intact in spite of internal
weaknesses and excesses and external pressures created through
Euro-American enclaves in each Muslim country.
1a. The Taliban made a major contribution, with the help of the burqa, to
save the family system even in war ravaged Afghanistan.
Compare with post-war Germany and Saigon under friendly U.S. presence.
1b. In spite of Indian movies and "blue movies" from Europe and America,
most families in the Muslim world are still within the framework
of chastity and fidelity. Adultery and homosexuality are not major
problems. [Transvestites, known as 'khusras' in Pakistan, are not harmed
but have been successfully identified and separated from civil society.]
2. Alcohol, dating, AIDS are still not significant problems in the Muslim
world.
2a. In AFRICA, where Muslim majorities begin, AIDS ends. An attempt to plug
this fault line against AIDS was attempted in Nigeria in three steps:
i. Propaganda against Sharia
ii. Introduction of semi-nude women under the aegis of "beauty contest."
iii. Insults aimed at Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
The NIGERIAN masses, without top leadership, AT THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL OF
PUBLIC UPRISING, thwarted and totally defeated these attempts and gave
hundreds of martyrs to stop this wave of cultural imperialism.
-------------
THE TARGET OF BUSH AND SHARON IS ISLAM. U.S. military forces are pouring
into Muslim world much beyond those required to crush Iraq. The U.S. is
fearful of the downfall of the system of puppets it has created. If the
Saudis or Abdullah of Jordan or Mubarak of Egypt crash, the U.S. and Israel
would need to re-do the whole structure imperialism had taken a century to
build up.
Intense FEAR OF ISLAM wells up within the world of U.S. imperialism
(with its spearhead, Israel). Bush and Sharon thought that the world was in
their grasp. (Imagine the justice of this neo-imperialism, Jews and
evangelist Christians working together, that a mass murderer like Sharon is
the most frequent and most honored visitor to the White House.)
Unfortunately for Bush-Sharon, the tiny, defenseless Taliban defied the
U.S. and refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, thus energizing the Muslim
world. Since then, gradually, the Muslim world is slowly waking up.
The Taliban are returning.
The awakening is inevitable. Allah wills it in the
Qur'an.
From Morocco to the Philippines, from Chechnia to
Sudan
and Nigeria, there
is a stirring, a sense of defiance as the oppressed masses imperceptibly
realize their power.
The American fear is that even if ONE GOVERNMENT REMAINS INDEPENDENT
(which is now Iraq), it will hook up with the aspirations of the Muslim
masses. The Taliban had to be destroyed, not because they had weapons of
mass destruction or even big guns, but because they dared say
"no" to the U.S. The same is true of Iraq. Saddam remains defiant.
(Compare with the whimpers of cooperation coming out of Iran and Libya.)
Every day Sharon commits crimes against humanity but as the long as the
Islamic resistance continues, with the support of Christian Palestinians,
not only Sharon but every Israeli can see that Israel's days
are numbered. Hence
the flailing and the killing. [Read the last days of France in Algeria. The
French claimed that Algeria was a PROVINCE OF FRANCE which produced a major
crop of wine every year. When the French generals realized that Algerian
resistance could not be crushed, they went into a final
frenzy of murder and raping.
