ISRAEL!

U.S., China, Russia, all now preparing for war

 Full speech at MarkBruzonsky.com/China

In just the three weeks since I gave this talk in New York world war preparations have been escalating.  NATO (U.S. lead of course) is establishing a mobile rapid-deployment strike force using the excuse of Ukraine after having instigated the right-wing neo-fascist coup in Kiev.   The Chinese and Russians are having unprecedented joint war games.   Chinese aircraft near their territories and Russian aircraft flying toward the U.S. have engaged in warning manuevers accompanied by threats.   U.S. nuclear subs have been made more visible in the Pacific and a second U.S. aircraft carrier is now deployed in the region.

The wars ahead are still likely to be proxie wars along with enhanced cyber and covert weapons as well as crippling economic sanctions thus allowing for the avoidance of  direct great power conflicts.   But even so millions more are likely to die in the years ahead and quite literally whole countries are being destroyed.   So far just in recent years — Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria, Libya, Serbia, Chechnya, Ukraine as well as what’s been happening in Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Mali, Sudan…

This is the talk I gave on 2 August in New York at this conference of Chinese entrepreneurs, business leaders, and graduate students.

   I’d like to begin with my conclusion:  The greatest challenge of our times is to get our two great countries with such different histories and cultures, the US and China, to work together as allies rather than to be protagonists and adversaries.  For even if we avoid war — which these days can be political, economic, covert, and cyber, as well as military — we have to start using our combined talents and energies for positive purposes, not for conflict preparations.   We can no longer afford to squander our resources preparing for conflict with each other.  Rather we have to use everything we have to jointly and collaboratively fight the grave problems that truly threaten all of us human beings on this small endangered planet.

Egyptian Women Strike at Islamic State!

How tragic that the Egyptian Junta has killed/imprisoned nearly all the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood — the party that just two years ago won both the Presidency and the Parliament — as well as journalists and human rights organizations, but is closely coordinating with Israel to weaken/destroy Hamas and looking the other way (or maybe even encouraging) this gross protest against the Islamic State.

 (Cairo women said to be defecating and menstruating on Islamic State flag)

OBAMA is COUNTERFEIT!

Coming from such a prominent Black Man Public Intellectual as Cornell West, this critique, this condemnation, of Barack Obama is truly damning.  All the more so as back in 2008 West was a prominent supporter of Obama!   The year before I was privileged to join West on stage as a speaker, along with Dean Anne-Marie Slaughter, at a Princeton University forum on the role of universities in society.

Here’s a taste of what West has just said in an interview about Obama.   The full interview is today at top of  WashReport.com:

“The thing is he posed as a progressive and turned out to be counterfeit. We ended up with a Wall Street presidency, a drone presidency, a national security presidency. The torturers go free. The Wall Street executives go free. The war crimes in the Middle East, especially now in Gaza, the war criminals go free. And yet, you know, he acted as if he was both a progressive and as if he was concerned about the issues of serious injustice and inequality and it turned out that he’s just another neoliberal centrist with a smile and with a nice rhetorical flair. And that’s a very sad moment in the history of the nation because we are—we’re an empire in decline. Our culture is in increasing decay. Our school systems are in deep trouble. Our political system is dysfunctional. Our leaders are more and more bought off with legalized bribery and normalized corruption in Congress and too much of our civil life.”

BOMB, BOMB, BOMB…

A few years ago Obama’s Presidential opponent was singing “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran” to an old Beach Boys tune.   That bombing campaign is the one Obama has held back…but mostly because of Iranian Strength and counter-weaponry…and only so far.

The Israelis are bomb, bomb, bombing Gaza all with Obama supplied weapons, money, and support.

A few years ago Obama and NATO carried out a long bombing campaign in Libya — and just look at the country today.

Last year Obama was about to start bombing Syria to bring down the Baath-Assad regime long in control there…after fomenting the Syrian civil war but not winning.

Earlier this year the U.S. fomented a putsch in Kiev installing a right-wing neo-fascist regime there which is now bombing/destroying the major cities of eastern Ukraine with US/NATO weapons, money, and support.

Earlier this month Obama started bombing again in Iraq this time to protect the US-sponsored regimes in Baghdad and Kurdistan.

Now Obama is about to bomb in Syria, this time to attack the Islamic forces who our allies were for years financing and arming to bring down Assad and who now have many captured U.S. weapons.

And all along Obama has been expanding the Drone bombings from Yemen to Pakistan and Afghanistan and beyond…even ordering as no President before him the extrajudicial killing of American citizens and family members.

Beyond his smooth but tarnished rhetoric, and whatever his past values as a community organizer and Constitutional Law Professor, Obama has in fact been neo-conned…more on that tomorrow.

Israel Further Escalates Gaza Bombings and Killings

Remember now, it is the Americans who supply the weapons and money that make what Israel does possible.

US now at WAR with ISLAMIC STATE

The U.S. must constantly have enemies to feed it’s voracious military-industrial complex and satisfy/appease the imperial neo-cons and liberal interventionists.  The U.S. must ever-more manipulate fear at home to keep the power elite, who interconnect with the military-industrial complex, empowered.

The communist bogey-man is gone as is Cold War I.  But the New Pearl Harbor came with 9/11 and the US has again been at hot war ever since, while further ratcheting up fear at home.   In Iraq it was non-existent weapons of mass destruction.  In Afghanistan the Taliban.  In Lebanon it is Hezbollah and in Palestine Hamas and in Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood.  In Ukraine it’s Putin.  And in the Pacific it’s China.   A few year ago it was Qaddafi justifying “humanitarian” intervention that lead to the destruction of that country.  Last year in Syria it was chemical weapons with Obama ready to pull the trigger until the British Parliament’s unprecedented no vote.

Reality and propaganda have grown more divergent over the years; plus there is today a new multimedia world thanks to the internet and international non-US cable TV news.   As a result more and more people are aware that in nearly all cases enumerated above it is the Americans themselves who were/are the aggressors, the coup creators, the arms merchants, the oil barons.   In many if not most cases the Americans were allied with, arming/financing in fact, many of the very military groups the U.S. then proclaimed to be the new enemies!

After decades now of massive lies and incessant propaganda at home, not to mention the killing and maiming of literally millions of Muslims and Arabs and the destruction of whole cities and countries, now arises the Islamic State abroad.

Now the U.S. is entering the next phase of the unending war against an enemy it helped create, fund, and arm, as in fact it did Bin-Laden and al-Qaeda years ago.

Now a President so weak and discredited and confused as Obama, who is also facing a potentially disastrous mid-term in November, has been maneuvered into leading the Neo-con-Zionist inspired charge against the Islamic State “cancer”…and the bombs and drones are going to escalate again from Iraq to Syria and beyond…as will the kidnappings, the suiciders, the be-headings, and the escalating fears in the “homeland”.
.

The Age of Beheadings 2

With the rise of the Islamic State, itself the result of the invasion of Iraq/Afghanistan by the US/UK,  the instigated civil war in Syria, as well as Israel’s ongoing destruction of the Palestinians, we’re now entering what may be a new age of beheadings…as I explained yesterday.

This too is an outgrowth of 9/11 with the first U.S. journalist captured and beheaded  in Pakistan in 2002, Daniel Pearl…he Jewish American with Israeli connections.   in 2004 American businessman Nicholas Berg was decapitated in Iraq by al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,   Now James Foley beheaded in the Islamic State.  Now the U.S. at war with a far stronger, far more radical, and far more challenging Islamic Army armed with captured U.S. weapons and funded by groups and individuals in key U.S. allies.

The Zionist Neo-con ideology of an ongoing ever-expanding war against all who oppose US/Israeli designs in the Middle East, and the Bin-Laden strategy of drawing in the enemy and exhausting it politically and economically, is being played out.   And now this clash of civilizations is likely to go on for a long time to come to the great pleasure and benefit of the military-industrial complex.

This one-paragraph summary from the NYTimes today:

Mr. Foley became the second Western reporter to be killed by Islamic extremists since 2002, when Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter, was beheaded by a top Qaeda operative. Mr. Pearl’s murder was praised by a leading ideologue in a how-to manual that promoted the tactic of kidnapping foreigners. Since then, the terror network has turned to abducting Westerners to finance itself — seizing more than 50 foreigners in the past five years, almost all of whom were released after their governments paid sizable ransoms.

But of course no overall historical context from the NYTimes about how Western policies since “The Peace to End all Peace” in Paris after WWI, and the once secret Sykes-Picot plot that carved up the Middle East for Western gain and control, plus the UK/US plot to help the Jews create Israel out of Palestine, all really lie at the root of all that is happening today.   Few in the West want to talk about and admit  their culpability and at least partial responsibility for the multiple genocides the Middle East has suffered since the Europeans  and then the U.S. took over much of the region.

The Age of Beheadings 1                                       MiddleEast.Org

Age of Beheadings Begins

The age of suicide bombers began after the Israeli/US invasion of Lebanon in 1982 with the rise of Hezbollah.   The age of terrorism began decades earlier with Jewish bombings (think King David Hotel) and assassinations (think Count Bernadotte) in Palestine.  Now begins the age of beheadings with the rise of the Islamic State, itself the result of the US invasion of Iraq, subversion of Syria, and the brutal Israeli/US occupation of Palestine.  There’s much more of course…but just this quick however inadequate summary this morning.

This latest new age didn’t start really with Islamic radicals…they and their tactics are in fact more the result.

This latest new age really started with decades of US, UK and Israeli policies that have literally killed millions and destroyed countries.  More recently the American President, Pentagon, and CIA, have ordered assassinations, dismemberment, and incinerations by push-button drone bombings.  Couple this with what the Israelis have been doing to the imprisoned and besieged Palestinians for many years now.

The Islamic radicals do things so graphically.  The Americans and the Israelis try to mask their deeds with propaganda and disinformation warfare, even though what they do is of a far greater order of magnitude and even though it is they who have in fact created much of the radicalization in the Muslim and Arab worlds.

 

Kurdistan and Iraq Air Force – Made in USA

The Americans have destroyed Iraq killing 1+ million in the process as well as fomenting the Islamic State now armed with captured U.S. weapons!   Millions more injured, millions more made refugees!  Now the American President speaks openly of how the U.S. Air Force is bombing the Sunni Islamic extreme fighters on behalf of the Shia regime in Baghdad and the Kurdish regime in the north…i.e., the country still exists on the map but has been partitioned in reality further balkanizing the entire Middle East region on behalf of the still-invading West.  Indeed, it is the same Western countries now rushing to further arm Kurdistan and bomb the natives that originally plotted to divide up the Middle East with Sykes-Picot and bring about a Jewish State to take over Palestine nearly a hundred years ago – UK, France, U.S.

IsraeI’s IRAN WAR DRUMS

Damn “American and World Jewry” !

How dare they!  The damning actually is not of “American and World Jewry”.  It is of the current leaders of the the organizations known as The World Jewish Congress and the  Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations for claiming that they speak for “American and World Jewry”!

If Americans and Jews like myself don’t condemn these organizations and insist they DO NOT represent many of us, maybe most of us, then we ourselves become complicit and we ourselves lose the real heritage we have as Americans and as Jews.

Here is the “Open Letter” being published now by the WJC and Conference of Presidents in association with the Israeli Government:

An Open Letter to the Israel Defense Forces

Thank you for your service and sacrifice on behalf of the Jewish State and Jewish Nation.

We thank the leaders and members of the Israel Defense Forces for their courage, commitment, and humanity in the battle against Hamas and other terrorist organizations that constantly and deliberately endanger civilians in Gaza and Israel. We remember those who fell and their families and pray for the quick recovery of those who were injured.

A grateful American and world Jewish community thanks you.

We are one people with one heart.

World Jewish Congress Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Ronald S. Lauder, President Robert Singer, CEO Robert G. Sugarman, Chairman Malcolm Hoenlein, CEO

 

Recall Obama NOBEL and Give to WHISTLEBLOWERS

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee once again looks so foolish just a few years after handing out their big award.  It’s not the first time…  Think Begin/Sadat after Camp David.   Think Arafat/Rabin after Oslo.  Think Peres.   But this Obama blunder is the biggest of all.

There should be some kind of public recall of Obama prize.   Instead the recalled award should be going to the American whistle-blowers who so courageously exposed Obama’s misdeeds including drone war killings, super-arming of Israel, Libya, Palestine, Ukraine, Pakistan, Yemen, Bahrain, now Iraq again…. the list goes on.

Snowden, Manning, Kiriaku, and let’s make Assange an honorary American.

These are among the real peace and truth heroes — certainly not Obama.

FlashBack 2009: What I said about HAMAS, GAZA, OBAMA, AIPAC, U.S.

In Jan 2009 at the time of Obama’s Inauguration Talk Nation Radio interviewed me about Hamas, Gaza, Obama, AIPAC and the U.S.

CHINA and U.S. – Speech by Mark Bruzonsky at conf last weekend

   I’d like to begin with my conclusion:  The greatest challenge of our times is to get our two great countries with such different histories and cultures, the US and China, to work together as allies rather than to be protagonists and adversaries.  For even if we avoid war — which these days can be political, economic, covert, and cyber, as well as military — we have to start using our combined talents and energies for positive purposes, not for conflict preparations.   We can no longer afford to squander our resources preparing for conflict with each other.  Rather we have to use everything we have to jointly and collaboratively fight the grave problems that truly threaten all of us human beings on this small endangered planet.

US brings mass death, genocide, and end to IRAQ

There is critical history before 1980 going back to the Ottoman Empire and the creation of Iraq and the “Modern Middle East” by the Western Colonial Powers after WWI at the Paris Peace Conference, the notorious “Peace to End all Peace”.   Furthermore, because of the overall super-alliance between the US and Israel, and the domination of the Israeli/Jewish Lobby in Washington on all matters relating to the Middle East, everything the US has done in the region for generations now has been heavily influenced, often-times guided, by the Israelis.

1980 – US encourages and helps Saddam of Iraq to attack Iran and try to undo the Iranian revolution – millions die and injured

1980s – US makes Saddam new strong man of the region now that the Shah is gone and no longer plays that role.   US supplies money, “intelligence”, and chemicals for weapons used by Saddam against Iran.

1990 – US tricks Saddam to invade Kuwait and then turns on him

1991 – US tricks Saudi King, sends troops to Saudi Arabia, and launches war on Iraq/Kuwait

1990s – US repeatedly tries to topple Saddam, imposes sanctions and no-fly zones, and according to most senior UN official brings “genocide” to Iraq – millions die and injured.

1998 – Clinton heavily bombs Iraq as Neocons push for invasion

2001 – Neocons immediately urge Bush/Cheney to invade Iraq after 9/11, but first US invades Afghanistan preparing for Iraq

2002 – US Secretary of State blatantly lies to U.N. Security Council and world pushing to get U.N. endorsement for attacking Iraq, but UNSC refuses.

2003 – US “shock and awe” invasion begins toppling Saddam and secular Baath regime – millions die and injured

2004 – US imposes new regime on Iraq and country begins to fracture into three regions

2011 – US finishes withdrawing combat troops leaving CIA and contractors and largest US fortified Embassy in the world

2013 – Iraq further breaks into regions, Kurdistan goes its own way more than ever, and resurgent radicalized Sunni Islamic forces take control of vast regions in Iraq and Syria

2014 – Obama begins new bombing campaign

End result – a million+ dead, many more millions injured, many more millions refugees, many more millions “internally displaced”, once proud country the most advanced in education and health care and secularism in the region, now radicalized and destroyed.

End result – US credibility in the world destroyed; $2 trillion war, much borrowed from China and others, has weakened US financial stability, the country of Iraq and the region surrounding it disintegrating in escalating chaos,  revolution, and anarchy; US covert wars now region-wide via CIA, drones, and contractors.

What Israel, the U.S., and World Jewry have done to Gaza

If what Israel has just done in recent weeks to the people of imprisoned Gaza Gheto had been done to the people of the United States the following comparable statistics.   And remember this is all done with the arms, money, and support of the United States and most of  World Jewry…clearly making them fully complicitous in the genocide.

• Dead:    325,000
  Injured:    1.5 million
  Houses Destroyed:    5 million
  Displaced Persons:    50 million
  Hospitals Bombed – 24
• Schools Bombed – 160
  U.N. Facilities Bombed – 6

Today the 1.7 million people of Gaza, Palestine, live in a destroyed everywhere-surrounded open-air prison.  There is little electricity or clean water or functioning medical care.   What has been done to them is a modern-day massacre of the native population carried out in front of the world with U.S. weapons and assistance and a propaganda war conducted on Israel’s behalf by most of the Jewish organizations in the US and around the world.

WWIII by Proxy?

Are the Russians getting ready to intervene in Ukraine where they have been seriously provoked?  Pushing even harder now the US is further arming, training and inciting the right-sector neo-Nazi “National Guard” thugs.

Are the Israelis trying to provoke a wider regional conflict giving them the excuse to take down Iran and Lebanon (Hezbollah) and remake Syria and the Palestinian territories?   The US has armed Israel as never before and is pre-positioning by pouring weapons into Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries while at the same time cashing in on $100 billion.

Are the Americans expecting the Chinese just to look the other way as the U.S. war machine simultaneously “pivots” to the Pacific  with new and expanding military bases surrounding China from Korea to Japan, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc.?
