Eric
Zuesse heeft een artikel geplaatst op de Strategic Culture Foundation,
waarin hij ten overvloede (maar volkomen terecht) stelt dat de VS, met hulp van
NAVO lidstaten Groot-Brittannië en Frankrijk, dood en verderf zaait
in landen waar het niets te zoeken heeft…… (landen in het Midden-Oosten, waar ik in dit geval ook Libië en Afghanistan toe reken) Door deze grootschalige
terreur zijn enorme stromen vluchtelingen op gang gekomen,
vluchtelingen die hun heil zoeken in Europa en dan m.n. in de EU,
niet alleen omdat dit de meest dichtstbijzijnde plek is waar men de
oorlog definitief achter zich kan laten, maar ook omdat de VS botweg
weigert vluchtelingen uit het Midden-Oosten op te nemen….. Dit was overigens in iets mindere mate al zo onder de Obama regering…..

Zuesse
wijst op de leugens die het westerse publiek (inclusief het Nederlandse) dagelijks op haar bord
geserveerd krijgt, zoals de leugens dat landen als Afghanistan, Irak,
Libië en Syrië, een gevaar vormen voor hun veiligheid…… Een
leugen zo doortrapt, dat ze zelfs een volkomen omdraaiing van feiten
is, immers de grootschalige westerse terreur in het Midden-Oosten
zorgt juist voor terreur op de straten van vooral de EU…….

De
hiervoor genoemde landen, vier landen kunnen zelfs amper worden gezien als
een gevaar voor de hen omringende landen, waar alleen Irak
als agressor kan worden aangewezen, dan wijs ik vooral op de oorlog
van Irak tegen Iran in de 80er jaren, waar deze vooral de VS goed
uitkwam, sterker nog: de VS heeft destijds Saddam Hoessein opgejut
Iran aan te vallen….. 

Nederland onderhield ook goede banden met Saddam Hoessein, zo kon VVD plork Bolkestein een exportvergunning afgeven voor de levering van onderdelen tot het bereiden van gifgas, iets waarvoor hij destijds uit en te na werd gewaarschuwd door deskundigen, daarmee is deze Bolkestein een enorme oorlogsmisdadiger!

Lees
dit uitstekende artikel waarin Zuesse gedetailleerd uitlegt hoe VS
bemoeienissen hebben geleid tot de dood van alleen deze eeuw al ruim
meer dan 2 miljoen slachtoffers, die in feite werden vermoord door de
VS, met hulp van een aantal NAVO landen, waaronder Nederland….. (waar niet vergeten dient te
worden dat de NAVO een speeltje is van de VS, zo liet het beest Trump de afgelopen dagen nog eens fijntjes zien tijdens de NAVO
top in Brussel…..)

America
Bombs, Europe Gets the Refugees. That’s Evil

ERIC
ZUESSE |
09.07.2018 | WORLD / EUROPE, MIDDLE
EAST

The
US Government (with France and a few other US allies) bombs Libya,
Syria, etc.; and the US regime refuses to accept any of the resulting
refugees — the burdens from which are now breaking the EU, and the
EU is sinking in economic competition against America’s
international corporations.
America’s corporations remain blithely unscathed by not only the
refugees that
are breaking up the EU, but also by the EU’s economic sanctions
against Russia, Iran, and other allies of governments that the US
regime is trying to overthrow in its constant invasions and coups.
The US Government makes proclamations such as “Assad must go!” —
but by what right is the US Government involved, at all, in
determining whom the leaders in Syria will be? Syria never invaded
the US In fact, Syria never invaded anywhere (except, maybe, Israel,
in order to respond against Israel’s invasions). Furthermore, all
polling, even by Western pollsters, shows that Bashar al-Assad would
easily win any free and fair election in Syria. The
US Government claims to support democracy, but it does the exact
opposite whenever they want to get rid of a Government that is
determined to protect that nation’s sovereignty over its own
national territory, instead of to yield it to the US regime, or to
any other foreigners. The US regime has virtually
destroyed the United Nations.

The
US regime even refuses
to provide restitution to Syria for its bombings, and for its arming
and training of the jihadists — the fundamentalist Sunni
mercenaries recruited from around the world — who are the US
regime’s “boots on the ground” trying to overthrow Syria’s
Government.
Al Qaeda has
led the
dozens of jihadist
groups that have served as the US regime’s “boots on the ground”
to overthrow Assad,
but Al Qaeda is good
enough to serve the purpose,
in the US regime’s view of things. The US regime says that there
will be no
restitution to Syria unless
Syria accepts being ruled by ‘rebels’
whose leadership is actually
being chosen by the US regime’s chief ally, the
fundamentalist-Sunni Saud family,
who already own Saudi Arabia, and who (along
with the CIA) have been unsuccessfully trying, ever since 1949, to
take over the committedly secular, non-sectarian, nation of Syria.
In fact, the CIA perpetrated two
of the three Syrian coups that
were carried out in 1949. 

The
US regime, and its allies, have used the Muslim Brotherhood, in order
to recruit into Syria the 100,000+ jihadists from around the world to
fight to overthrow Syria’s secular Government. Even the BBC’s 13
December 2013 detailed report, “Guide
to the Syrian rebels”,
made clear that the “Syrian Rebels” were, in fact, overwhelmingly
jihadist and largely recruited from abroad. These were hardly
democrats. Even a Tony-Blair-founded anti-Assad NGO’s study
concluded that “Sixty
per cent of major Syrian rebel groups are Islamist extremists” (not
just “Islamists” but “Islamist extremists”) and yet the
Blair outfit still supported the overthrow of the committed
secularist Assad (just as Blair had earlier participated himself in
the US regime’s destruction
of Iraq). 

The
fundamentalist-Sunni royal Thani family own Qatar and have been the
top international funders of the Muslim Brotherhood, just as the
fundamentalist-Sunni royal Saud family, who own
Saudi Arabia,
have been the
top funders of Al Qaeda.
The main difference between the Sauds and the Thanis has been that
whereas the
Sauds hate Shia (and
that means especially
Iran),
the Thanis don’t. Thus, for the Sauds, this is a war against the
Shia center, Iran, and not only against Syria. This war
against Syria was a coordinated US-Saud-Thani operation, in which the
fundamentalist-Sunni group, Al Qaeda, provided the leadership but the
(pan-Islamic) fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood provided the largest
recruiting website.
This entire hyper-aggressive operation was internationally
coordinated. The
Obama Administration started planning this operation, under Hillary
Clinton, in 2010. As
even the neoconservative (i.e., US-empire advocating) Washington
Post reported,
on 17 April 2011, from Wikileaks, “It
is unclear whether the State Department is still funding Syrian
opposition groups, but the cables indicate money was set aside [by
the Obama Administration] at least through September 2010.” That
article mentioned only “former members of the Muslim
Brotherhood,” not the Muslim Brotherhood itself; and no mention was
made in it to Al Qaeda, in any form. 

Then,
in 2013, the neoconservative Foreign
Policy magazine
headlined “How
the Muslim Brotherhood Hijacked Syria’s Revolution” and
was oblivious regarding the neoconservative Obama Administration’s
having planned that “hijacking,” starting in 2010 (but going
back even as far as Obama’s inauguration;
this operation was a key part of his
secret anti-Russia agenda,
which preceded even his coming into office). But if Obama wasn’t
neocon-enough to suit that magazine’s editors, then Trump certainly
should be, because Trump
continues Obama’s foreign policies but with an even more hostile
thrust against the Sauds’ chief
target, which is Iran. Above
all, the
US alliance’s goal has been for the Saud family’s selected
(rabidly anti-Shiite) people to take over and run the Syrian
Government.
As Global Security has
phrased this matter,
“The High Negotiations Committee [which is the group who are
negotiating against Assad’s government at the US-sponsored ‘peace’
talks] is a Saudi-backed coalition of Syrian opposition groups. The
High Negotiations Committee (HNC) was created in Saudi Arabia in
December 2015.” 

So,
this war in Syria has actually been the Sauds’ war to take over
Syria. And it actually started
in 1949,
but the US-backed
Muslim-Brotherhood-led “Arab Spring” in 2011 gave
the US and its allies the opportunity to culminate it, finally. 

And
Europe receives the fall-out from it. This
fall-out has been hurting European corporations, in international
competition against US corporations. It’s not only
political.

The
US regime has continued
this thrust, under Obama’s successor.
US President Donald Trump demands European corporations to end their
business with Shiite Iran (which the Saud family is determined to
take over), and to end their business with Russia, which
America’s own billionaires themselves are determined to take over,
just like the Sauds are determined to take over both Syria and Iran.

And
Europe receives refugees not only from places where the US and some
of its NATO allies have recently been bombing, but even from Kosovo,
Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places where NATO has bombed in the
past,
and even from Ukraine,
where the US regime perpetrated a bloody coup in February 2014,
followed there by an ethnic-cleansing campaign to kill the residents
in areas which had voted the heaviest for the overthrown President.

America
is no actual ally of Europe. The Marshall Plan is long-since
finished,
and America has been taken over by psychopaths
who are Europe’s main enemies,
not Europe’s friends, at all. (They’re friends of some European
aristocracies, but not of any European
public, not of even merely one public.)

Iran
and Russia should be Europe’s allies — they
didn’t cause any of Europe’s problems.
America did. America’s intelligence agencies tapped (and probably
still tap)
the phones of Germany’s Chancellor and practically everybody else,
and yet the US regime has the gall to blame Russia for interfering in
the political affairs of European countries. If that isn’t the pot
calling the kettle ‘black’, then what is? If anything, the EU’s
sanctions should be against doing business with American firms
— not against
doing business with Russian firms, or with Iranian firms. European
politicians who support the US support Europe’s top enemy.

Russia
is, itself, a European country, which additionally traverses much of
Asia, but America is no European country, at
all,
and yet now is so brazen as to demand that Europe must do America’s
bidding — not only against Russia, but also against the
Sauds’ main target,
which is Iran (the same main target as Israel’s).

Why
are Europeans not asking themselves: Who is
Europe’s enemy in all of this — what causes this
refugee-crisis? The refugees certainly didn’t.

It’s
not Russia, and it’s not Iran, and it’s not China; it
is America — which is the true enemy of them all, and of us all —
including even of the American people ourselves,
because the
US Government no longer actually represents the American people.
These invasions, and military occupations, and coups, do not serve
America’s public; they serve America’s aristocracy. The US is no
longer (if
it ever was)
a democracy. The US Government now is the US aristocracy
— not the
US public. It’s a dictatorship.
And, it has the
type of ‘news’media that any dictatorship has.

On
June 30th, the US aristocracy’s New
York Times headlined “Bavaria:
Affluent, Picturesque — and Angry”,
and reported “the new angry center of Europe, the latest
battleground for populists eager to bring down both Chancellor Angela
Merkel of Germany and the idea of a liberal Europe itself.” Their
elitist (pro-US-aristocracy) ‘reporter’ (actually propagandist)
interviewed ‘experts’ who condemn Europe’s politicians that are
trying to assuage their own public’s anger against the EU’s
open-door policy regarding this flood of refugees from what
is actually, for the most part, the US regime’s (and its allies’)
bombings — air-support of the boots-on-the-ground jihadist
mercenaries. The
combination of this air-support, and of the jihadists, has been the
backbone of the US-Saudi-Israeli effort to overthrow and replace
Syria’s Government.

Libya
was a similar case, but was only friendly toward Russia,
not allied with
Russia, as both Syria and Iran are.

The
US aristocracy funds an enormous international PR campaign for all
this. These
are ‘humanitarian’
bombings in
order to replace a
‘barbaric’ Government —
but replace it with what? With one that would be chosen by the Sauds.
And this propaganda-campaign is also funded by the
US-allied aristocracies. All
of the major ‘news’media, in US and allies, receive their
‘expert’ ‘information’ from these privately-funded and
government-funded propagandists, who are treated by ‘journalists’ as
being objective and experts (which they’re not).

The NYT article
says — and I add here key explanatory links:

“This
is not about economics,” said Gerald
Knaus,
the director of the European
Stability Initiative, [and
though unmentioned by the Times, “The
Open Society Institute was a major core funder” of
the ESI, which is] a
Berlin-based think tank. “It is about identity and a very
successful populist P.R. machine that is rewriting recent history.”

So:
the Times was
secretly (and they didn’t include any links to help online readers
know who was actually funding their ‘experts’, at all) pumping
NATO propaganda, as if it were authentic and neutral news-reporting,
instead of craven service to the US aristocracy that controls the US
Government and its NATO military alliance. This is the New
York Times, itself,
that is “rewriting recent history.” That’s how they do it —
constantly (as ‘news’).

And
here is some of that “recent history” the Times is
“rewriting” (by simply omitting to so much as even just suggest,
but which is essential
backgound in
order to understand the real history
behind this important matter):

House

“European
Security and Defence Policy: Nice and Beyond”

pp.
47-48:

On
7 February 2001 the Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, emphasised the
ESDP’s [European Security and Defence Policy’s] tie to NATO
during a press interview, following his meeting in Washington with US
National Security Adviser, Condoleeza Rice. He said:

I
have stressed that the European
Security Initiative will strengthen the capacity of Europe to
contribute to crisis management and therefore is welcome to a
Washington that is interested in fairer burden sharing, and
that Washington can be confident that Britain will insist that
the European Security Initiative is firmly anchored on NATO. We are
both determined to see that happen, we are both determined to make
sure that the European Security Initiative carries out its promise to
strengthen the North Atlantic Alliance.119

Though
the Sauds, and also Israel’s aristocracy, are mainly anti-Iran, the
US aristocracy are obsessed with their goal of conquering Russia.
Since Iran, and Syria, are both allied with Russia, the US regime is
trying to overthrow those Russia-allied Governments, before going
in for the kill, against Russia itself.
That’s what all of these economic sanctions, and the bombings and
the backing of Al Qaeda for overthrowing Syria’s Government, are
really all about. 

Is this what
today’s Europeans want their Governments to be doing — and doing
it for that reason,
the US aristocracy’s reason? Despite the huge harms it is certainly
causing to Europeans?

Here,
then, is a debate between, on the one hand a retired CIA official who
thinks “Our relationship with Israel causes us war with
Muslims,” versus Representatives in the US Congress who are
actually representatives of Israel’s Government and
definitely not
representatives
of the American people. Both sides in that debate are acceptable to
the aristocrats who control the US Government, because neither side
argues that the apartheid theocratic Government of Israel is an enemy
of the American people (as is documented actually to be the
case, here and here),
nor that the
entire problem of Islamic terrorism is fundamentalist-Sunni, and that
only Israel gets hit by terrorism that’s from both Sunnis and
Shiites — that Shiites (the US alliance’s targets) are no terrorist
threat, at all, to Europeans (nor to Americans) —
the “Islamist” threat is actually only from fundamentalist
Sunnis, which are the very same groups that are secretly allied with
America’s aristocracy and the Sauds. Neither side of the ‘debate’
acknowledges that both the Sauds and Israel (and Israel’s
lobbyists represent internationally also the Sauds’ interests)
are enemies both of the American people, and of the peoples of
Europe. 

As
the world’s greatest blogger, the former UK Ambassador (but too
honest to stay in that business) Craig Murray, recently said under
the headline, “No
Trump, No Clinton, No NATO”:
“The destruction of Libya’s government and infrastructure
directly caused the Mediterranean boat migrant crisis, which has
poisoned the politics of much of the European Union.” But, of
course, the US regime and its allies have also destroyed other
countries than that — and thus caused refugees to Europe from many
nations. And, finally, even
the US Government (though as quietly as possible) acknowledges that
it has destroyed Afghanistan.
Ironically, that’s the very nation where America and the Sauds, in
1979,
had started their war against all Governments that won’t
buckle to them.

Furthermore,
the US regime intends to keep it up. In case a reader might happen to
think that, surely, the US regime and its allies are going to quit
this rousing of hornets’ nests; Sharmine Narwani, who is one of the
very few non-“embedded” journalists who reports in The West about
— and (which the mainstream ones don’t) from —
the war in Syria, headlined, on June 25th, “Are
al-Qaeda Affiliates Fighting Alongside US Rebels in Syria’s
South?” and
she found that the answer to this question is a resounding yes:

Despite
its US and UN designation as a terrorist organization, Nusra [Al
Qaeda’s main name in Syria] has been openly fighting alongside
the “Southern Front,” a group of 54 opposition militias funded
and commanded by a US-led war room based in Amman, Jordan called the
Military Operations Center (MOC). …

Sources
inside Syria — both opposition fighters and Syrian military brass
(past and present) — suggest the command center consists of the US,
UK, France, Jordan, Israel, and some Persian Gulf states. … In
practice, the US doesn’t appear to mind the Nusra affiliation —
regardless of the fact that the group is a terror organization — as
long as the job gets done.

These
wars, which pour Middle Eastern (and also Ukrainian*)
refugees into the EU, are inter-aristocratic conflicts reflecting
inter-aristocratic competitions; and the publics everywhere suffer
enormously from them. The gainers
from it are
very few but very rich (and they hire very powerful agents in Europe
and elsewhere). Those billionaire gainers, and their agents, should
be Europe’s targets — not Russia
and Iran. NATO must end now. Europe needs to be freed, at last, from
America’s permanent-war-for permanent-‘peace’ grip. For
Europeans, who are the indirect victims, to be blaming the refugees,
who are the direct victims, won’t solve anything, but will simply
please the victimizers, as is the public’s ancient habit (to please
the powerful). A break must be made, away from that ugly past.
European publics must lead the way, or no one will.

PS:
Since this article asserts such a large number of things that
contradict what the US Government and its agents assert, I have
sought out and here linked to the highest-quality, least-contested
and most highly authenticated, sources and also to sources that link
to such sources; all of which, taken together, constitute a
book-length proof of the title-case here, that “America Bombs,
Europe Gets the Refugees. That’s Evil.” Furthermore, this online
virtual “book” is tracking back to the most unimpeachable
documents, all of them available merely by means of clicking, and
thus without the reader’s needing to visit a huge scholarly library
(which might be quite distant); so, the reader can here easily branch
out to this entire, and otherwise largely hidden, world of reliable
sources, which the US regime wants the public not to know, and
certainly not to understand.
It’s no longer necessary to be an intelligence-professional in
order to come to understand what the regime wants the public not to
understand.

Kleine vergissing: de Oekraïners die Oost-Oekraïne ontvluchten
vanwege de bombardementen van het Oekraïense leger (voor het grootste
deel bevolkt met neonazi’s), vluchten niet naar de EU, maar naar
Rusland. (ze zouden al worden vermoord, voordat ze de westgrens van Oekraïne bereikten…..)
