“BEYOND SPEECH”
Throughout the last
century, nationalism has been demonized by being equated with distortions such
as Nazism and fascism, but other such deviations have been silenced. This seeks
to strip the identity of the states that suit Washington and London and
maintain that of their allies.
By Danny Smith
The 20th century was the
protagonist of the birth and establishment of an ideological antagonism born by
the European intellectualism of the 19th century that ended in two great world
wars and that was continued by the rest of the countries of the globe.
Liberalism, nationalism and communism as central axes of this, led in turn to
the creation of currents of interpretation that would end up demonstrating a
similar nature.
The conception of the
left and right, materialized in extreme currents such as Nazism, fascism and
communism, provided a framework for the ideological and warlike conflict that
(used by the Anglo-Saxon liberals) brought as a consequence the most horrendous
and shameful calamities against the humanity that, despite such a lesson, would
continue until the end of the century.
The fall of the Berlin
Wall in 1989 and the collapse of the USSR in 1991 marked a historical hinge
that, in theory, would end this confrontation, but that did not happen. In the
Western media story, the death of communism and even the end of ideologies were
raised. But that wasn't so true. The atomization of the USSR triggered the
revival of nationalism and even its most ultramontane exacerbations. Then.
Although communism lay inert on a ditch in history, its usual rival
(nationalism), on the contrary, was reborn, adulterated and raging with the
power of a bloodthirsty zombie. What happened?
The answer is clear: He
was secretly revived and nurtured for use when the occasion called for it.
This, as expected, was convenient for Washington and London for certain cases
and many of these exacerbated feelings had been fed throughout the cold war to
undermine the political stability of Moscow. But with the Soviet Union gone,
those resources would be available for new strategies.
This is how, for
decades, the CIA and MI6 worked with ethnic minorities and political dissidence
in the Caucasus, in Eastern Europe and even in the regions and countries
bordering China (Nepal and Tibet) seeking to foment subversion, discontent
social and disobedience against communist governments and even territorial
secessions.
But it was not enough
that the Soviet era ended. NATO never stopped its expansion plans.
Thus we saw how the
collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991 represented the fragmentation of the state into
three ethnic religious blocs that for decades lived in harmony and suddenly
collided in a brutal way, recreating scenes that had only been seen in Beirut
during the civil war. that? From a distance and with the current situation in
Ukraine, NATO's responsibilities became clear, creating and putting into
operation new armed groups that would later be used in the Caucasus and the
Middle East. Created chaos and without an opponent such as the USSR (with an
absent UN), promoting insecurity to offer its “Security System” did not
represent any problem and it was in this way that the Atlantists brains were
able to establish strategic points in Albania and Kosovo.
It was very useful for
Washington and Brussels to revive the monster of nationalism, exacerbated by
religion and the fear of uncertainty in countries that for seventy years were
under a regime that had disappeared. Throughout the cold war, the CIA and its namesake
partners worked with extremist groups and cells as assets to use against the
USSR.
When that Status Quo
disappears, those assets will continue to exist and began to be used for other
purposes and in other scenarios. The existence of private armies (Stay Behind)
under the direction of NATO, such as GLADIO and the Muslim Legion (linked to Al
Qaeda and Daesh), was a secret that was kept for a long time, long enough to
carry out several of the actions bloodier on European soil that were foisted on
others (extremists of the European left and the Libyan Arabs).
With this it is clear
that the phenomenon of terrorism was never such and much less only used by
Arabs and Muslims. Terrorism is one more tactical tool in the arsenals. Long before
the Second World War began, Zionist cells in Palestine (made up of European
Jews) were already operating against the Arab population and the British
protectorate, using terrorism as one of their most common tactics.
In this sense, let us
remember that Zionism was conceived on the basis of Jewish nationalism, that
is, a homeland for and only for the Jews regardless of whose land it was. This
branch of nationalism was and continues to be enthusiastically supported by
London and Washington and that is how the Zionists with Ben Gurion at the head
managed to settle in Palestine.
Along with this
situation in Palestine, when it suited the West, I do not hesitate to
discretionally support Arab nationalism to consolidate its own interests in the
region. Just as it has maintained its oil business ties with the Saudi royal
family “Al Saud”, on the other side of the Gulf, the US (through the CIA) after
overthrowing Mohamad Mossadegh in 1953 rose and forged excellent relations with
the royalty of Persia. When the puppet and Shah of Persia Reza Palevi had to
flee for the 1979 Revolution as part of his campaign against the Iranian
revolution, Washington powerless to reverse the situation, instigated and
supported the Iraqi national socialist "Baath" party led by Saddam
Hussein to they bled to death in an eight-year war and then, after inducing it
to the crisis with Kuwait in 1990, get rid of this Arab ally.
When George W. Bush
said that one of the threats to democracy was nationalism and Islamist
extremism, he was simply contradicting what the US had been secretly
instigating for decades. To cover up this inconsistency, the media played -as
usual- a fundamental role. Despite the fact that it was rhetoric for public
consumption, his Israeli colleague Benjamin Netanyahu did not hesitate to
establish very good relations with the most controversial far-right governments
in Eastern Europe, including those that became Ukraine after the 2014 coup, especially
with the current Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky who received him with a
neo-Nazi ceremony in August 2019.
The latter should not
surprise anyone since there are currently in Ukraine groups of Kurdish
mercenaries financed and directed by Israeli agents who, in addition to
carrying out terrorist acts against Iraq and Iran, work and cooperate with the
Nazi “Azov” battalions. Washington has been at the forefront of this and if we
don't remember the roles of Secretary of State John Kerry, his deputy Victoria
Nuland and later that of John McCain who, as he did in Syria, in 2016 visited
the neo-Nazi extremists in kyiv.
All this shows that
beyond the trite media propaganda (to which the film industry is added) and the
extensive literature that separates the right and the left as antagonists,
trying to superimpose on this scheme supposed democracies and supposed autocracies
in a game of good guys and bad guys, reality makes it clear that this was never
the case and that beyond ideologies, Western governments respond to
conveniences and interests.
