The Cost of Impirial Ambition

Neocon Chaos

It was planned long ago in the perverse minds of a diabolical clique who gathered to combine their talents in their think-tanks, to formulate their progressive policies and wait for the appointed time so that one day they can unleash their violent blood lust against contrived enemies. The bloody turmoil that is Iraq is no accident, it is the most desired result of a select few in the Bush administration, destructive creation is their creed, rampant chaos your reality.

In the boardrooms of PNAC, MEMRI, CSP, and AEI , with their cohorts in the mainstream media like the Wall Street Journal, the neocons formulated a strategy which was quickly established after September 11th into official government policy under the Bush administration. This policy was essentially to convince Americans of the need to commit mass murder and make it look like a highly regarded endeavor. Using tired puffed-up cliches like the “war on evil” or the “axis of evil” or the “war on terror” or even the nonsensical “clash of civilizations,” its effects are essentially in desensitizing the public into involuntary obedience, it effectively numbs the brain.

This policy is un-American as it can get, it is a foreign policy that has the interests of another nation as a substitute for legitimate American interests. It is a policy of subversion, to ultimately destroy American power and prestige, to superimpose an ideology of hate and mendacity into the mainstream of American intelligentsia. It is a policy to make an enemy of over one billion Muslims; it is the creation of a demographic war, a war to curtail the massive discrepancy between high Muslim birth rates and the fast declining birth rates in the west. It is a policy that only serves the interest of a perverse clique in Washington and Jerusalem to the detriment and destruction of a once gleaming beacon of liberty called the Republic of the United States.

With the neocons’ call to send more troops to fight Al-Sadr’s Shiite militias and their warning that last week’s violence is because of Iran’s direct influence with the Shiites must have the neocons in a state of ecstasy regarding the substantial increase in the bloodletting. What we witnessed last week was the Sunnis and the Shiites uniting into a common cause, bringing together what little resources they have to drive out the invader that has killed well over one million of their countrymen and women in the last thirteen years. Their country is in ruin, they have nothing to look forward too other then killing and driving out the imperial power that has forced them into impoverishment.

The real war has come to the forefront, not like last years fleeting “shock and awe” spectacle, the real war is what we are witnessing now, the long-drawn-out struggle against forced occupation of a people that refuse to submit to imperial rule. A classic case of kinetic energy, where colonial repression is violently challenged by the natives. This is not entirely bad news for the neocons, this is what they live for, a protracted endless source of conflict, where they can destroy and destroy again societies which they perceive as barbaric.

The Iraqis have also quickly realized that the Bush administration’s determination to install a working democratic government was also nothing more than Machiavellian mendacity by the neocons and their supporters. Keeping Iraq in a state of permanent conflict is what the neocons want, with such chaotic conditions it is much more likely that it could spread to neighboring countries destabilizing the entire region. The neocons want the war to spread into Iran and Syria as soon as possible because they realize that you can only deceive the American people for so long, Americans will eventually wake up to the truth.

Wake up to the truth? Americans are in a state of an Orwellian dystopia, produced by a concentrated propaganda machine that creates a form of collective amnesia in which Americans through fear are conditioned to have great difficulty seeing the truth and remembering the past. The lies and disinformation used by the Bush administration is no different than the lies and disinformation produced in the Vietnam era by the Johnson administration. Americans have collectively failed to see that the neocons under Bush, indoctrinated by the perverse concepts of Leo Strauss are engaged in what George Orwell called “Newspeak.”

The doublespeak has usefully served the neocons to motivate the general population to enthusiastically support the invasion of a small-impoverished nation that presented absolutely no threat to the United States. It also produced a false image of a righteous act, a preemptive form of self-defense, creating the transparency of a legal act and the form of constitutional governance where in reality the oligarchy can continually with no constitutional restraint execute illegal acts with absolutely no accountability to the ‘rule of law’ or to the people.

It took ten bloody years for Americans to wake-up to the realities of Vietnam; Americans are faced with another senseless war with a potential to become much more devastating than Vietnam ever was. The invasion of Iraq is rightfully seen by the world to be nothing more than a criminal act by a criminal administration. America’s prestige among the nations of the world is finished, America’s stature as the last remaining Super Power is also finished because the United States has already lost its war in Iraq. To win a war in the Middle East you cannot hold anything back, all out; complete destruction of the enemy with a permanent military occupation is the only way to win some kind of lasting victory in a land where a blood feud has been raging for thousands of years. A price that Americans will ultimately refuse to pay, it is just a matter of time before America ignominiously leaves Iraq in defeat.
