Credit Crunch or rather Zio Punch?

Two weeks ago I took the task of elaborating on this very issue in front of the Cambridge Forum. The following presentation is an effort to disentangle the horrifying tribal plot that accidentally led towards the destruction of the American Empire and Western financial hegemony.

Gilad Atzmon Talks About The Credit Crunch at Cambridge Forum (16/9/08)

Dear friends, I am pretty troubled with the talk I am about to deliver this evening. I do understand the devastating implications of my current ideas and I am still trying to find the most appropriate words to address the issue.

As the picture of the current economy disaster becomes ever more clear, it becomes rather obvious, to me at least, that the ideology and the people who are directly responsible for the mass killing of millions of Iraqis and the displacement of many other millions, the people who keep the Palestinians starved behind walls, are unfortunately very much the same people who are responsible for a class genocide of millions of disenfranchised Americans who are now on the brink of total dispossession.

A year ago I was invited to give a talk at this platform. ‘Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine, What is the Common Thread?’ was the title I picked. At the time I gave a talk carrying that topic in a conference in Stockholm, I thought that such a topic would be relevant for a long while. My message in Stockholm was rather simple: the common thread between Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine is our apathy. Millions of people are murdered, displaced, dispossessed and starved while we are more or less nonchalant. However, we cannot be blasé anymore. The people who are destroying Iraq and Palestine are now knocking on our own doors.

As we all remember, two weeks before Britain was taken into an illegal war, millions of us were marching in the streets of London waving placards telling Blair and his cabinet what we thought of them. Interestingly enough, now when it is clear that this war has cost the lives of millions of innocent Iraqis, we do not do a thing. We do not even try to chase Blair and bring him to justice. Similarly, the abuse of Palestinians is now common knowledge, it appears on our TV screens on a daily basis, and again we somehow keep silent.

In case some of you fail to realise, the crime in Iraq has been committed on our behalf. Indeed, we are not as liable as Blair, the Labour Party and the Islamophobic media circuit a la Nick Cohen and David Aaronovitch who rushed to support this doomed war. Indeed, we didn’t personally send soldiers to the battlefield, we did not launch cruise missiles, nor did we praise the killing in the name of ‘democracy’ and ‘freedom’, yet, we are all somehow guilty of being indifferent.

In case you ask yourselves why are we indifferent, I will try to suggest an answer. We are indifferent just because we have a ‘good’ excuse. When being blamed for not doing a thing, we would all raise our voices and shout righteously: ‘We opposed the war, we were there to protest just before the war, we all marched in that big demo.’ Yep, as it seems, Anglo-American liberal democracy provides us with a pretext. Due to some ‘oldy mouldy’ leftist tradition, our political resistance is always taking the embarrassing shape of juvenile scarf waving, badge wearing and slogan shouting. Once every three and a half decades we invade the streets, we shout a bit, we raise some placards. We listen to some decaying politicians, we ejaculate collectively and we then split rather quietly. Some go to the nearest pub, some go the sushi bar and a few, those who can afford it, would use the opportunity and continue to a musical in Drury Lane.

In the long run, we tend to believe that we have paid our political and humanist dues. Sadly enough, it is our apathy towards the suffering of others that makes Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan into a single narrative of Western collective indifference.

However, things are changing in front of our very eyes these days. We cannot be indifferent anymore just because we are the ones that are becoming the next victims of expansionist global Zionised politics.

In case you cannot tell, I will be very clear about it all. The same Ideology that brought carnage on Iraq and Palestine is the same ideology that makes you lose your home tomorrow.

The Wolfowitz Doctrine

Back in 1992. Dick Cheney appointed Paul Wolfowitz (Undersecretary for Defence Policy) and his deputy Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby to draft the USA Defense Planning Guidance (DFG) for the 1994-99 fiscal years. The imperialist Zio-centric document that was later named as the “Wolfowitz Doctrine” was soon leaked to the New York Times and raised some harsh criticism. However, as history sadly teaches us, not enough or nothing at all was done to curb Wolfowitz’s and Libby’s murderous enthusiasm when it was still relatively young.

The astonishing document was there to merge American and global Zionism interests into a unified belligerent practice. It all happened in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, bearing in mind that America was becoming a single super power.

“Our first objective,” says Wolfowitz, “is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union.”

As much as Wolfowitz may claim to believe in ‘freedom’ and the free market, America should not bargain over its primacy in the market and the new world order.

“The U.S. must show the leadership necessary to establish and protect a new order that holds the promise of convincing potential competitors that they need not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive posture to protect their legitimate interests.”

Wolfowitz realized already in 1992 that the world may be reluctant to support his visionary American expansionist philosophy. America, according to him, should therefore adopt a unilateral assertive practice. Rather than counting on international coalitions and UN initiatives, America better get used to the idea that it would have to act alone. Seemingly, already in 1992 Wolfowitz appointed America as the World police.

“Like the coalition that opposed Iraqi aggression, we should expect future coalitions to be ad hoc assemblies, often not lasting beyond the crisis being confronted, and in many cases carrying only general agreement over the objectives to be accomplished. Nevertheless, the sense that the world order is ultimately backed by the U.S. will be an important stabilizing factor.”

Hence, Wolfowitz stresses, America should intervene when and where it believed necessary. But then, not before too long, the Global Zionist pops out. Wolfowitz and Libby, at the time still just ‘youngsters of Zion’ reaffirmed U.S. commitments to the Jewish State. [1]

“In the Middle East and Persian Gulf, we seek to foster regional stability, deter aggression against our friends and interests in the region, protect U.S. nationals and property, and safeguard our access to international air and seaways and to the region’s oil. The United States is committed to the security of Israel and to maintaining the qualitative edge that is critical to Israel’s security.”

Needless to say that knowing what we know nowadays about Neocon murderous criminal interventional inclinations, this document shouldn’t take us by surprise. Yet, a few questions must be asked:

1. How is it that America didn’t find within its political establishment the means to resist Wolfowitz’s foreign political impetus?
2. How is it that America that had all the ‘necessary warnings’ had found itself just ten years later acting as an Israeli mission force fighting the last pockets of resistance to Jewish national imperialism?

In short, we should wonder, how did America, once a symbol of freedom, let itself be enslaved by such repulsive ideologies that are associated inherently with some clear foreign tribal interests?

Oil is important

The United States of America is a big country with big roads and big thirsty cars. Consequently, oil is the key for its stability and its general happiness. Wolfowitz and Libby, so it seemed at the time, found the way to heaven. They were about to kill two birds with just a single (cruise missile) shot. They planned to rob the Arab oil and to ‘secure’ their beloved Jewish state simultaneously. Evidently, America didn’t manage to restrain Wolfowitz’s appetite. In 2003, by the time youngster of Zion Wolfowitz was on the verge of becoming a proper elder, America was taken into an illegal war in Iraq. Nowadays, we can tell without a hint of a doubt that Wolfowitz, the ‘architect of the Second Gulf War’, has managed to drag his country into a humiliating catastrophic defeat.

As we all know, the plan didn’t work out. America didn’t manage to put its heavy hand on Iraqi oil. Reconstruction of Iraq is ‘yet’ to happen and when it happens, it won’t be American company that will take the profit. America is now inherently associated with Israel as the biggest threat to world peace. However, Wolfowitz didn’t fail entirely. He indeed succeeded in destroying one fierce enemy of Israel. He toppled Saddam Hussein. But it seems as if Saddam, on his way down, managed to pull the entire American Empire with him. Moreover, by the time the last American soldiers will be evacuated from the green zone (Baghdad) it will be realized that it was actually Wolfowitz’s doctrine failure that made Iran into the leading regional super power.

The Greenspan Doctrine - Money Makes The World Go Round

Earlier on I raised a rather crucial question: How is it that America failed to restrain its Wolfowitzes? How is that America let its foreign policy be shaped by some ruthless Zionists? How come alleged American ‘free media’ failed to warn the American people of the enemy within?

Money is probably the answer, it indeed makes the world go round, or at least the ‘American housing market’.

Throughout the centuries, Jewish bankers bought for themselves some real reputations of backers and financers of wars [2] and even one communist revolution [3] . Though rich Jews had been happily financing wars using their assets, Alan Greenspan, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States, found a far more sophisticated way to finance the wars perpetrated by his ideological brothers Libby and Wolfowitz.

Unlike old fashioned Britain, where Tony Blair recruited Lord ‘cash-machine’ Levy to encourage his Zionist friends to donate their money by proxy to a party that was just about to a launch a criminal war, in America it was the most underprivileged classes who were set to finance the current wars.
