Were It Not For America Mubarak Would Be Gone

“Where the sun never sets” was the British Empire in the past. The colonist’s attitude today has not changed — where being proud of colonizing a nation is publicly expressed. This is the situation we are going through today with the hegemony of the American empire. In the last century, many Arab nations were freed from the backward rule of the Ottoman Empire only to fall victim to the humiliating malignant control of the British Empire. We can see today that most Arab countries in the region are subjects to the American hegemony and its abhorrent rule.

India used to be called the jewel on the British crown. Today, the U.S. drools with excitement over the many jewels of the Middle East. The most appetizing ones are Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt. Saudi Arabia and Iraq for their oil and strategic position in the Gulf and Iraq’s neighboring country Iran. Egypt for its symbolic Islamic institution “Al Azhar,” as well as being a key factor for peace and war in the Middle East with Israel and its power to shape ideas and views of the whole Arab world.

~snip~

There were causalities from the Arab systems who accepted the colonist’s plans in the region; for example, the failing Iraqi monarchy.

The U.S. government took over the British involvement and control in the region standing against the tripartite war. On the other hand, the United States did not achieve its control over Egypt’s government until Anwar Al Sadat appeared in the political arena. He placed Egypt into military and government control of the United States. His successor Hosni Mubarak has done the same, allowing the involvement of the United States in Egyptian politics.

The hegemony of the United States government truly underestimated the Arabs’ audacity. For one, they did not hesitate to manifest their bias toward Israel and its politics of colonization, all without taking into consideration the negative repercussions of their bias towards Arab governments who stand firmly by the U.S. politics in the region. The U.S. did not anticipate the Arab reaction toward corrupt regimes in the region and the strength of the Arab people. The dismantling of corrupt systems was a surprise to the United States. The first revolution that swept the Middle East, which started in Tunisia recently, is one example.

1. And as Media Lens frames it after the prayer breakfast speech..

8<-----
"And what of the West? Obama - Washington's bargain basement bodhisattva - said:

‘We pray that the violence in Egypt will end and that the rights and aspirations of the Egyptian people will be realised and that a better day will dawn over Egypt and throughout the world.’

Tolstoy, again, had the perfect retort:

‘I came to the simple and natural conclusion that if I pity a tired horse on which I am riding, the first thing I must do if I am really sorry for it, is to get off and walk on my own feet.’ (Tolstoy, op. cit., p.111) "

Seems simple enough?

2. Nations have nothing to do with this - it's all about the uber rich

and protecting them and propping them up regardless of who does it. The "America is the bad guy" argument is just as false as the "Arabs are the bad guys" argument. It's a reverse of the same mirror, only to disguise the fact that it's the damn UBER RICH who are the bad guys.

The British, French, etc. only outsourced the policing of their empires to the US. And we pay for it while all the world reviles us. Bullshit.

All the world's "real people" are up against all the world's thieving wealth-fascists. The Mubaraks of the world are a little club, and the rest of us only build assets for them to steal. It's that simple. And these "experts" and "academics" are on the payroll to frame the situation in a way to confuse us, so that we don't start targeting the actual problem all around the world over. The billionaires' club. Theirs, ours, they are all the same.

They do the same things, with the same result.

3. It didn't take long to for an example of what I mean to present itself...

Check this out:

Saudi money will prop up Mubarak if the US withdraws its aid. Now tell me again, how the US is the problem keeping Mubarak there?

I see this as a great budget cut for us, frankly. We could use that money to put back some of the heating aid for the poor.

(sorry, I meant to post this under my first reply above, #2)
