JUST A THOUGHT - ON AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF SYRIA, BEING THE PRICE OF BETRAYAL BY THE 'FAKE' OR 'PSEUDO' 'REVOLUTIONARIES. PART 2.

-






And yet, we have also seen organised protests in many western countries, in France, Germany, in the United States of America. Protests which have, on occasions, did become violent. 

 Although not resulting in armed and prolonged battles, and even wars, between the protesters. 

 Why, we might ask ourselves? Was it because of the 'spirit of human rights and democracy' which flourishes in the West?  

 Or was it partly because of the absence of foreign sponsorship of 'fake' and 'psuedo' revolutionaries, and/or the absence of sufficient 'genuine grievances' of the protesters in these countries in the West? 

Were these the reasons or some of the reasons why the passions of the western demonstrators cooled so quickly, without doing serious harm to or effecting significant changes to their societies? 

 While those of the affected countries in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere escalated into flames and wreaked terrible destruction on some of them?

 As they did in Syria, in Libya, or in Yemen. In these countries, civil and then violent unrest, uprisings even, have degenerated or escalated into internationalised 'regime changing' conflicts. 

 Quite simply, the 'revolutionary forces', have tended to be the 'Trojan Horses' by which imperialistic and colonialistic governments, and powerful elites elites in the West, have been 'invited in' to take over these countries.



These 'pseudo', 'fake' and 'populist' 'revolutionary forces', whether they intended it to be so, or not. 

Soon find that they and their countries have had to pay pyrrhic  prices, for them inviting in the Western Cavalry to help them. 

They find that, in their endeavour to overthrown the government of their own country, they must then allow their 'invited foreign friends' to take it over and become its occupiers. 

To effectively colonise it again. Thereby beginning the cycle of of occupation leading to the aspiration and probably long struggle to be freed, again, from foreign domination/colonialisation. 

They condemn their countries to the fate of being 'freed' from the rule/misrule, and/or oppression of their own people, their own elite. 

But at the cost of having to submit themselves to the rule of their newly acquired neo-colonial and imperialistic masters. 

To be continued!

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

AMERICA'S DYSFUNCTIONAL DIPLOMATIC MODEL! PART 1.

Diplomacy ought to be the process by which nations, through their governments, establish and maintain mutually beneficial and peaceful relationships between them; Diplomacy is not, like the Gulf Cooperation Council members and their allies, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE states, trying to bully and intimidate Qatar into doing their bidding, by surrendering its sovereignty.  Neither is diplomacy what the American government is doing, in using sanctions to force the governments of states of Iran, Russia and North Korea, into complying with its demands.  About what action they should or should not take in pursuing what they consider to be in the interest of their countries and people.  No, none of this is diplomacy. Rather it is method of force and compulsion, which is not synonymous with principle or practice of diplomacy.  Which is about the art of establishing and maintaining peaceful and mutually beneficial relationships between different countries.
