ESTADO

EN DESCOMPOSICION

¿Qué tan democrático es un estado militarista, colonialista y racista basado sobre una teología supremacista?

Marbuti Kalaf

La tan promocionada “democracia del Medio Oriente” va dando cabal muestra de su real naturaleza con una realidad de contrastes obscenos en la que los derechos humanos y la libertad es solo para una clase, una etnia y una religión bien determinada.

Las sociedades tienen los líderes y gobiernos que les representan y Benjamín Netanyahu sin dudas, representa muy bien a los israelíes. Israel como estado implantado mediante el terrorismo y el apoyo político-diplomático de Londres y sostenido desde 1948 por los EEUU no es el epitome de ningún milagro y todas las arbitrariedades que ha venido cometiendo ni siquiera podrían ser ocultadas por la inteligencia artificial.

La causa palestina ya retumba en las paredes y los pasillos del Capitolio estadounidense demostrando que el Lobie pro-israelí ya no puede ocultar las iniquidades del estado al que defienden.

¿Puede ser democrático un régimen que invade y ocupa territorios ajenos o amenaza de muerte o directamente asesina a quienes se ponen en su contra? La fallecida cantante irlandesa Sidney O´Connor quien se convirtió al Islam, antes de morir recordó cuando el actual ministro de seguridad israelí Itamar Ben Gvir junto a su grupo de extremistas la amenazo a ella y a todos sus músicos de muerte si tocaba en 1997 en un concierto que se llevaría a cabo en Jerusalem, o de las continuas incursiones de colonos judíos contra la mezquita “Al Aqsa” clamando por su destrucción, o de las continuas profanaciones de cementerios islámicos o directamente, de los crímenes sin justicia y cometidos con total impunidad como fue el asesinato de la periodista Shaeerin Abu Akleh.     

Desde hace meses que la sociedad israelí que no es otra cosa que un mosaico de ciudadanías extrañas a la Palestina histórica, se halla inmersa en un tironeo intestino que va profundizando las divisiones políticas por el control de un estado y un sistema mal concebido.

Esa pelea entre dos facciones del judaísmo (Askenazis y Sefaradies) es la pesadilla hecha realidad para los sionistas quienes durante todo lo que va de la existencia del estado se esforzaron por sostenerlo y presentarlo como un monolito sagrado bajo una supuesta protección divina.

El formato democrático con el que suele presentarse en occidente de esta implantación del nacionalismo judío, es un engañoso espejismo que ha servido para tratar de legitimar una situación política ilegal y anacrónica que se materializa en la ocupación y detestables usurpaciones, violaciones sistemáticas que a diario se cometen contra los derechos humanos de la población palestina que ya lleva décadas de ese martirio.

La compulsa que sacude a los israelíes solo les importa a ellos y a los sionistas diseminados alrededor del globo, pero especialmente a los que viven en EEUU, la Europa occidental y algunos países de Sudamérica. No hay otro motivo que haga que los medios de occidente le den la importancia que no tiene. Es una lucha de poder entre ellos y como es de esperar no incluye a los palestinos quienes para unos y otros (de los israelíes), siguen siendo una molestia que los sionistas en general -sin distinción de derechas ni izquierdas- quisieran exterminar.

No hay que dejarse engañar. Mientras hay protestas contra el intento de Netanyahu y sus compañeros supremacistas judíos de la extrema derecha religiosa por cortarle los pies a su Corte de Justicia, los palestinos no reconocen esa jurisdicción y no lo hacen porque no reciben los beneficios de esa “administración de justicia” y siguen siendo asediados en Gaza, Cizjordania y violentados impunemente por los colonos judíos que son acomodados en asentamientos que van contra la ley internacional.

La llamada democracia israelí es un gran embuste muy semejante a los calcos de sus benefactores occidentales caracterizados por la corrupción y la desigualdad.

Es por eso que lo que pasa en Israel puede verse desde dos ángulos muy diferentes. Si lo vemos desde el prisma de los medios occidentales, histórica y claramente influenciados por los intereses que sostienen a esa entidad política, vemos que hacen un predicamento de esta lucha entre los judíos demócratas y los judíos “duros” de la extrema derecha que pretenden cercenar uno de los poderes en un sistema militarizado disfrazado de democracia que fue implantado en 1948 con engaños, fuego y sangre.

Como se ve, los términos y las palabras son bien cuidadas. La brutalidad que ejerce este estado y sus ciudadanos contra los árabes-palestinos es suavizado con excusas y manipulaciones argumentativas que ya no engañan a nadie. En vez de llamar las cosas por su nombre, los medios occidentales notoriamente bajo la hegemonía pro-israelí han sido la lavadora de cara de sus criminalidades.

Si lo vemos desde el lado árabe-islámico y también desde los cristianos palestinos que sufren las mismas injusticias de las fuerzas sionistas, se trata de una pelea por el poder entre judíos que buscan seguir, cada uno a su modo, perpetrando la ocupación por medios más sigilosos y moderados contra otros que no les importa esconder sus metodologías ni sus intenciones.

Mientras las familias palestinas deben vivir bajo el terror de las fuerzas ocupantes y la de sus colonos implantados en territorios robados, los israelíes, quienes la mayoría tienen un pie en América o Europa, gozan de total impunidad para violar los derechos humanos, usurpar inmuebles, terrenos y territorios palestinos para hacerlos propios.

Debe quedar bien claro que mientras los medios hacen una novela dramática sobre los riesgos que corre la democracia israelí. El verdadero drama pasa por una población palestina sojuzgada y que hace más de setena años ve como la ocupación brutal, racista y que hoy toma un color de supremacísmo religioso descarado, le roba el futuro a cada generación que nace.

Mientras los medios de occidente pintan esta mascarada, los palestinos no ven otra alternativa que continuar resistiendo por todos los medios los intentos de erradicación que el invasor trata de llevar adelante mediante su campaña de apropiaciones y guerra demográfica.

 

REGIME OF ILLEGALITY

Myths and realities of Western democracy's relations with the far-right, mafia-like regime in Kiev

 

By Sidney Hey

A seemingly harmless shipment of farm implements and motorbikes being unloaded at the port of Durres, Albania concealed a consignment of arms and equipment that was not supposed to get there, but no one cares. In a place so corrupt and run by gangsters with links to the “agency” and NATO, silence is assured.

Further afield, somewhere in the Red Sea, other container ships will land on some Arab beach another ton of military equipment and weaponry that was supposed to reach Ukraine. I would not be surprised if we see a re-run of the “Islamic State 2.0” hoax using Turkish “Bayraktar” Drones, “Javelin” missiles and British “Starstreak” MANPADS, if that happens I would like to hear what the media buffoons in the West will say. Still no one in the ASIS offices in Canberra has dusted off the matter of the vans that were shipped to be handed over to “Daesh and there is a simple explanation for this: As a strategic ally in the South, Washington has a firm grip on Australian politicians and that is why they gladly participate in all operations ordered as part of the “Five Eyes”.

But other shipments that did reach the country seem to have been subject to other diversions and are lost in the mists of a state of absolute lawlessness. The reality in western Ukraine, and in Kiev in particular, is far from a state of legality. In addition to being at the mercy of a pro-Nazi regime, the inhabitants must contend with local criminal mafias that are the law in a lawless state. Someone has been making a killing on shipments to Eastern Europe and the question is: is this a stunning oversight by the Ministry of Defence (MoM), the consequence of an extraordinary and sophisticated Russian intelligence operation, or are there other Washington plans for these armaments?

Democracy is supposed to be the governance of law, so is breaking international law democratic?

I can assure you that if the government wanted to, it would not miss a nut on a tank. But it is true that in recent years the dealings between the government and private corporations, the intra-governmental corruption is so great that administrative controls that only serve to justify huge defence budgets no longer matter. The scandalous case of Hunter Biden, which the American media corporation has tried to sweep under the carpet, explains many inexplicable things in American politics.

No doubt this has partly filtered into the disaster of Kiev's failed counteroffensive that forced into the public eye the failures and shortcomings reported by many Ukrainian fighters and foreign mercenaries (American and British) who managed to survive in the midst of what they themselves called “hell”.

The alleged shortcomings in end-use monitoring between the Pentagon and their colleagues in Kiev do not explain these gross irregularities, which are actually minuscule compared to others noted by the Russians in the liberated territories.

Why should this not be credible? Ukrainian troops have been known to steal and sell such large items as French 155mm “Caesar” guns and their ammunition to the Russians, who took no time at all to remove them from the field and reverse engineer them. Let alone the tide of rifles and machine guns that no one knows where they ended up. For those of you who can remember, remember the weapons and money that were sent to Iraq and Afghanistan?

On those occasions various military officers and intelligence contacts made their own fortunes by taking out of Iraq and selling the weapons of Saddam's dismantled army to insurgency groups and mafias around the globe. What did the Baghdad government do? Nothing if they were part of the deal. The same in Afghanistan, where many ISAF military and corrupt Afghan military and politicians loyal to Karsai got rich selling and reselling weapons to warlords and opium traffickers.

Why should things be any different in the current war in Ukraine? And yet we are only talking about this trafficking and not about the more sinister and lucrative trafficking of people and organs.

This is undoubtedly a nuisance for government bureaucrats who tend to see ghosts where there are none. They are typically useless, sitting on their chubby asses in a well-appointed office far removed from reality. So it's not surprising that these questions fall foul of them as “Russian propaganda”.

It is possible that there is another theory for creating this black hole of arms and money in Ukraine. Perhaps this seemingly uncontrolled arms surge has been planned to flood the mafias, irregular and extremist groups of all kinds into Ukraine and all of Eastern Europe to consolidate a scenario of controlled chaos that will destroy their governments and in the midst of that morass, Washington and NATO will come to the rescue.

 

WHAT IS THE REAL WAR?

The war in Ukraine pitting Russia against NATO interests hides another silent arm wrestling match to impose an ominous agenda for total control of two markets vital to human life Where is the morality of the Anglo-American democracies?

 

By Charles H. Slim

After Russia's chastisement of the Odessa ports and the abandonment of the grain agreement for having been used by Kiev to smuggle weapons, Washington and its European cronies with European Commission Vice-President Joseph Borrell at the head have taken the opportunity to publicly accuse Russia of seeking food shortages that would provoke a global food crisis.

This is intended to create panic and the false appearance that Ukrainian grain is the only grain that can meet the needs of the poorest countries, but that would not be the case.

The US and its dirty jobs partner Britain are not worried about the war in Ukraine and how much its continuation might cost Ukrainians. On the contrary, the longer it lasts it will serve the purposes of the ruling oclocracy in Washington who have made it clear that they will sacrifice whoever and however many are necessary to secure comforts and a standard of living for themselves and a select circle of their country.

In retrospect this is nothing new. When the sect of neoconservatives and Zionists colluded to devise a plan to create US supremacy in the new millennium known as Project for the New American Century (PNAC), that idea was born early in 1993 by one of the most prominent Zionists who were George Bush senior's sidekicks named Paul Wolfowitz where he bluntly specified how to get rid of the competition and grab the oil-based energy sources. The consequences of these lucubrations were soon seen and as we have already seen, they have tried to be swept under the carpet of history.

In the present circumstances we see the same interests at work again, although without many of those officials in the race. The war in Ukraine is one of the most favorable and ambitious financial incentives for speculators such as BLACKROCK, JP MORGAN and VANGUARD GROUP who at the same time are participants together with US food corporations in causing severe financial losses and monopoly of food policies that have led among other things to the doubling of the price of bread in the poorest countries.

Argentina, far from being able to guarantee its food sovereignty, is obviously not able to offer an alternative food supply not only because of its famished geopolitical status and its deficient logistic infrastructure for foreign trade, but also (and much worse) because it is entangled in the same spider web woven by international financial organizations such as the IMF.

Clearly, the farce of accusing Russia and in particular President Vladimir Putin of creating the conditions for a global food crisis is exposed. What is really going on is an ambitious race by the Anglo-Americans to impose their conditions and totally control the food market.

Obviously, with the war and the -deliberate- cutting off of the EU from the supply of cheap Russian energy, the only beneficiaries are the American Corporations and energy companies, especially LNG (through a deceitful agenda) and food companies (Cargill, Archer Daniel Midland, Bunge and Louis Dreyfus) which have turned the European governments and citizens into forced and captive dependents of their products at sidereal prices.

As could not be otherwise, all this is linked to the World Bank, which participates in this blackmail on a global scale since it answers directly to the Oval Office in the White House.

This is where once again the great swindle of US democracy and the total falsity of its declarations about its concern for human rights, freedoms and values become apparent. The US is a dying empire and needs to sink its fangs into its abandoned victims in the global south, especially in Africa and Latin America.

As it could not be otherwise, Argentina is immersed in this scheme of plundering which, due to its geographical characteristics and extensive lands for cultivation, presents an appetizing profit for the US agribusiness lobby, which knows that it will have no obstacles to impose its conditions, whoever the government may be. That is why in the country of wheat the price of a kilogram of bread rises as if it were a scarce commodity.

We are witnessing a new wave of abusive policies aimed at monopolizing no longer the national markets of a few states or specific regions, getting rid of small producers for the benefit of US agribusiness corporations and agrochemical laboratories with European ramifications. This is a global ambition. By hoarding grain stocks and preventing commercial traffic through a deliberate increase in fuel prices, these interests are taking the bread out of the mouths of millions of people, and no longer just those in impoverished regions in Africa or Latin America. The same European citizens and even ordinary Britons, with a government that participates in these plans, are being held hostage to a constant rise in the prices of food, transport and taxes for basic services.

There is no doubt that this is no accident. Despairing the ordinary population has advantages very well thought out by and for the governments, that is, if they manage to hide the truth of what is really behind the current crisis. Fortunately, citizens have already realized this and the argumentative efforts of the media and the intelligentsia servile to these interests are becoming more and more innocuous, making it clear that the system is part of the problem.

But behind this global agri-food corporation and its colleagues in the energy corporation lies the objective of the Anglo-American political-financial oclocracy, which aspires to control a wider spectrum of captives that would materialize with the control of the entire global south, and to this end, getting China and Russia out of the way is paramount to achieve this aspiration.
