THE REAL POLITIK EDITION: ISSUE 54, VOLUME 84
BUSH THE BUTCHER
by Malik Isasis
When President George W. Bush was bequeathed the presidency in 2000 by the United States Supreme Court, he and a pack of neoconservatives came into office like the Guns of the Navarone with an overwhelming sense of privilege and entitlement.
After eight years of war, death, chaos and fiduciary corruption, George Bush and his neocon flying army of monkeys are finally ending their blood, and guts tour, but not without giving Israel one more crank at the gears of war by saying they want an enduring cease-fire. What does an enduring cease-fire mean? Answer: more time for Israel to create more chaos, flip the Palestinian government and set a shadow government.
What drives Bush? Historians and mental health experts will ponder this for years to come, but for the purposes of this blog, it is painfully clear it wasn't the will of the American people. No, the hand that was up George Bush’s ass moving his foul mouth belonged to a small cult of neocons who are militarists, imperial capitalists, and right wing Israeli propagandists.
Bush and the flying monkeys saw a once in a life time opportunity after September 11th to scratch off all the objectives of the neocons’ manifesto: complete world domination by military force and capitalistic fascism. (click here to read this manifesto).
Like many superpowers before it, we are now witnessing the descention of American power; and like the decline of superpowers before it, the denial is thick. It’s interesting. Superpowers are delusional by nature because they believe that they can hold onto power and keep others from obtaining it. With superpowers come a sense of entitlement to dominate and control other peoples and lay waste to peoples’ lives through violence, oppression and destruction, which feeds a sickness for more violence, oppression and destruction. This lethal loop is usually the script that is followed to maintain power over others, and eventually, it fails.
The economic rise of Brazil, Venezuela, India, China, and Iran has sent Bush and his flying monkeys and conservatives into a tizzy. America’s economic and military slide down the bell curve has made conservatives and a like more and more, jingoistic. Bush, the giggling killer, and his cabal reacted liked cornered cats, lashing out at every shadow. For every international problem, the solution is military force. What makes Bush, Cheney and their ilk so lethal is the extremity of their childishness.
The neoconservatives in Israel’s Likud Party, for instance Benjamin Netanyahu have been on a non-stop campaign since Bush’s second term to convince not the American public, who gives a shit about them, but American officials in both the Republican and Democratic Parties, that Iran is a nuclear threat not only to Israel but the Unites States as well. The Israeli neocons have successfully triangulated the United States into an illegal invasion and Occupation of Iraq, a bombing campaign in Lebanon, a build up to war with Iran. American and Israeli neocons work in tandem to deceive both American and Israeli citizenry, through a campaign of dehumanizing Arab people, and discrediting progressive opposition.
The Great Benefactor.
In an article written by Mohamed Elmasry, he quoted Benjamin Netanyahu as saying that Israel "must immediately launch an intense, international, public relations front first and foremost on the U.S. The goal being to encourage President Bush to live up to specific pledges he would not allow Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons. We must make clear to the government, the Congress and the American public that a nuclear Iran is a threat to the U.S. and the entire world, not only Israel."
One of Elmasry’s theses in his article, “Israel is the real winner of America's War on Iraq and Iran (If attacked)” is that Israel has effectively took away United States’ moral high-ground because the United States now occupies Iraq, therefore the Occupation of the Palestinian people can now be taken off the table when discussing Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians. In Iraq, America's track record of torture, concentration camps, civilian detentions, killing of innocent citizens (even guests at a wedding), the siege of Iraqi cities, and the over-use of sophisticated killing machines in lieu of diplomacy, renders any criticism about Israel's treatment of Palestinians wholly hypocritical.
How can Washington now proclaim to Israeli leaders, "What you are doing to the Palestinians is wrong"? Ironically, the American siege of the Iraqi city of Falluja in 2004 has served to evoke nostalgia over the Jewish state's siege of another Falluja -- the Palestinian city -- in 1949. In reality, the U.S. and Israel now share membership in the same elite and notorious club, that of occupiers of Arab countries -- theirs has become a comradeship as never before.
The Realignment.
Russia’s former president, President Vladimir Putin stated of the United States, “We are witnessing an almost uncontained hyper-use of military force in international relations,' Putin said. 'One country, the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way.'” What was Bush response?
“We are surprised and disappointed with President Putin's comments.”
It would appear Obama’s deafening silence on the conflict between Israel and Hamas is one of continued lop-sided support of Israel’s method of solving its problems through violence and getting the same results—the very definition of insanity.
And yes, George W. Bush does eat kittens.
