Exclusive: OPEC: A Recurring Nightmare

Family Security Matters, NJ - Jun 23, 2008

OPEC, acronym for The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, was founded in Baghdad on September 14th, 1960, ostensibly to bargain and negotiate the sale of oil to the West by Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela….

They sound just like another commercial fraternal organization, but with the exception of Venezuela and a bizarre on again/off again romance with Ecuador, all member states are Muslim and the bulk of the oil reserves, estimated to be more than three quarters of the entire world’s, are located in the Arab Middle East….

Saudi Arabia and OPEC cohorts don't just hold us over a barrel of oil. They fund and control radicalized Middle East departments in major Universities …

Saudis have the US over a barrel of oil

By Ted Belman

In my article The Vast Power of the Saudi Lobby, which I urge you to read again. Here are a few extracts,

.. the U.S. ambassador to Riyahd, James Akins, did his best to placate King Faisal by urging the Saudi’s American-owned oil concessionaire ARAMCO to, in Akin’s words, “hammer home” to the White House that the embargo (seventies) wouldn’t be lifted unless

“the political struggle is settled in manner satisfactory to Arabs.”

Prince Bandar told Bush

Starting today, you go your way and we will go our way. From then on, the Saudis would look out for their own national interests.

It seemed the United States had made a strategic decision to adopt Sharon’s policy as American policy.

Within thirty-six hours, Bandar was on his way to Riyadh with a conciliatory response from Bush. When Bandar returned Powell cornered him.

“What the fuck are you doing?” witnesses recall Powell asking. “You’re putting the fear of God in everybody’s hearts here. We’ve all come rushing here to hear this revelation that you bring from Saudi Arabia. You scared the shit out of everybody.”

As a result of this power, I wrote Whatever Saudis Want Saudis Get.

Is America over a barrel of oil? Definitely.

And what Saudis want is al Quds with the Temple Mount and the greenline and G-d knows what else.

Are American Jews Too Powerful? Not Even Close.

Are American Jews Too Powerful? Not Even Close.

By Ruth Wisse
Sunday, November 4, 2007; Page B03

These days, it's becoming downright chic to hint forebodingly that America's Jews are just too powerful. But whether it's the political scientists John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt or former president Jimmy Carter, those who accuse modern Jews of having excessive clout are getting it precisely backward. In the real world, Jews have too little power and influence. They also have too little self-confidence about defending themselves.

Consider a basic paradox. Even anti-Semites often give Jews credit for having exceptional intelligence. Self-congratulatory Web sites reckon that Jews, who make up about 0.2 percent of the world's population, have been awarded more than 160 Nobel Prizes. But if Jews are so smart, why do 22 Arab League countries account for a tenth of the Earth's land surface while the Israelis struggle to secure a country that is 1/19th the size of California? If Jews are so powerful, why does Israel attract twice as many venture-capital investments as all of Europe, even while it's the only one of the United Nations' 192 member states that has been charged with racism for the crime of its existence? How powerful is that?

In fact, there's an excellent historical reason why Jewish intellectual achievement sits alongside political weakness. Simply put, Jewish achievement in other areas has come at the expense of political strength, and the strange relationship of Jews and power has made them history's favorite prey. Centuries of survival in other people's lands prevented Jews from achieving full acceptance -- and access to the levers of government. Some individual Jews may have lived large, but the Jewish people as a whole lived on sufferance, afraid to antagonize those from whom they sought tolerance.

These questions mean a lot to me. I'm often asked how I, a teacher of Yiddish literature, came to write about politics. But remember that the Yiddish language, developed by European Jews over almost a thousand years, was practically erased along with them in a mere six, 1939-45. So studying Yiddish literature, almost by definition, concentrates the mind on Jewish political disabilities.

When Jerusalem was crushed by Rome in the year 70 -- so brutally that, according to the historian Josephus, "no one visiting the spot would believe it had once been inhabited" -- some Jews stayed on, but the vast majority made their homes in foreign lands. For more than 18 centuries, Jews survived as a nation without three basic staples of nationhood: land, central government and independent means of self-defense.

Instead, Jews turned to strategies of accommodation. They provided goods and services to their gentile neighbors in return for being allowed to stay in the country. They became money-lenders, bankers, minters, craftsmen, midwives -- trades that gentiles would let them perform and that allowed Jews to observe their calendar, customs and religious laws. But they had no independent way to protect their achievements.


Unlike their Christian and Muslim overlords, Jews had good reasons to avoid irking those from whom they sought acceptance. The German poet Heinrich Heine, who called conversion to Christianity his "ticket of admission" to European culture, likened Jews to a prince whom "black magic" had transformed into a dog: "All week long he goes on scraping/Through life's excrement and sweepings/To the mockery of jeers of street boys." Only on Friday evenings, while ushering the Sabbath into his own home, does the dog resume its human shape. Heine saw that the humiliation of the Jews was offset by a moral serenity, and that their moral serenity was offset by acute political vulnerability.

The creation of the state of Israel in May 1948, after the carnage of the Holocaust, was supposed to change all this. But the newly formed Arab League made opposition to Israel the only common goal of its otherwise quarrelsome membership. The new United Nations, tribune of emerging post-colonial nations, did not protect Israel from assault, and over time the world body became a party to the Arab League's war against Jewish statehood.

Of course, Israel now had an army, and a formidable one at that. But the Israel Defense Forces did not change the Jews' existential condition as a minority; Israel was now a minority among the nations, contending with Arab states that sought to dominate or destroy it. Israel still lived by strategies of accommodation, trying to supply its neighborhood with useful services and goods such as medical, agricultural and technological know-how. In the 1990s, utopians such as Shimon Peres, now Israel's president, hailed a "new Middle East" of economic and political cooperation. When Peres and Israel's late prime minister Yitzhak Rabin installed Yasser Arafat as the head of a Palestinian proto-state, they began another doomed Jewish political experiment -- making Israel, as best I can figure, the first country in the world ever to arm its enemy in hopes of gaining security.

What about American Jewry? Mearsheimer and Walt allege that a Jewish cabal dictates U.S. policy in the Middle East, helping Israeli interests and hurting U.S. ones. So have American Jews really begun to mobilize effectively to protect Israel, or are people again overstating Jewish power and its supposed dangers?

Consider the halls of ivy where, if anywhere, the intellectual firepower of Jews might be expected to be on display in defense of Jewish interests. At Columbia University, the late Edward Said used his authority as a teacher of comparative literature to apologize for Palestinian terrorism and condone Arab violence against Israel, including, in one instance, by personal example. (In 2000, a photographer for a French news agency snapped him in southern Lebanon tossing a rock toward an Israeli position.) Much of the Jewish professoriat looked the other way or signed his petitions.

Elsewhere in the academy, Jewish professors themselves lead the anti-Israel barrage. In fact, Mearsheimer and Walt expected Jewish organizations to sponsor their talks and complained of "censorship" when the groups did not. Clearly, there is nothing quite as fun -- or as lucrative -- as baiting Jews.

On: Goals of Arabs in media, The Notorious Arabist

On: Goals of Arabs in media, The Notorious Arabist
paper 'The Independent' intentional confusion,  Iraq, Sudan, Slavery &
Arab racism

 

Monday, March 26, 2007

 

Actually, what I am about to write on, I could, unfortunately, go on &
on about most days when referring to such media outlets as
the biased-dependent "Independent".

However I feel that once & a while you reach that point that you just
have to say something about it.

 

I read the article by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown "It's understanding we need, not
apologies". (Re: Tony Blair's apology for slavery).

 

Actually she starts off not too bad, but then she makes that turn, that
typifies her kind all too well.

 

Arab writers are all about influencing the west not to be objective
journalists

 

I was amused only until I actually, finally got angry, this seemingly so
"innocent" piece is so typical by Arab writers, by Arab (international lobby)
policy shapers & global pushers, in EU, UN & all over the world.

 

As oppose to a Jewish writer you'd ask?
Yes, actually, most Jewish
writers in ANY media are not to delicate when it comes to criticize harshly the
only Jewish state/refuge, and they hardly make a secret about it.

Be it in own Israeli newspapers, [much is being only used by anti-Israel
bigots to tarnish Israel without ever appreciating this Israel's own very
openness],  Israel is probably one of the most, if not the most self
criticized countries in the world.

As well as the vat majority of Jewish writers in NYTimes, LATimes, CNN
reporters, etc. will never hesitate to be tough on the Zionists, albeit it's
actually too much of it.

 

[Most] Arab writers however can never bring themselves to objective
true moments, the heck with journalism, fairness, or any value of sincerity for
that matter, No! I am not referring to the Al Jazeera/Arabyia, but rather the
Arab writers, in the western media, with a few rare exceptions,
they'll routinely diminish Arab made crimes as non-existing or even as
"victimized", the primer example is of course the "Palestinian" aggression that
causes Israeli defenders to put up walls/checkpoints to protect themselves from
genocide by Islamofascists, but Arab international lobby is successfully coining
drama words, (invented in-between one plan of a deliberate attack on innocent
Israelis and another,) like "apartheid" or other mushrooms wording on Israel's
life-savings methods, it is enormously successful in pushing the UN to
"criticize" Israel, never mind this multi-racial country that has Arab
representatives in all government branches,  or the phenomenon in
the opposite direction in the democratic country like the long
list of Israeli government's favoritism on... Arabs over Jews, when real
apartheid in Arab Muslim world goes ignored, even the 'Palestinian' one that has
the ethnic cleansing policy of 'No Jews, or no non-Arabs allowed'.

 

At times it reminds me of those staged media scenes in Gaza where they
orchestrate a woman crying before the cameras, or ' heroic stone throwing',
sometimes the reporter will even give them the sign when to start, it
has been documented as 'Pallywood'.

 

Every interview is seen by them as nothing but one more tool in their
propaganda, there is no free thinking, honesty ha \s no place at most occasions
when they speak to us.

 

One of the few exceptions are those of the likes of Joseph
Farah & his href="http://wnd.com">http://wnd.com .

 

How's that related to Yasmin's piece you wonder?
Well, I suggest you pay
attention to her criticism of Tony Blair's historic apology on Britain's part in
slavery.
What could be so wrong about such a positive thing you might wonder,
no, Yasmin manages to put dirt on this too, as long as she can squeeze in the
'Iraq issue' (' Arab victim-hood' syndrome, and just Who kills her Muslim
brothers & sisters everyday, Is it the Christians, Crusaders, is it the
Zionists, Is it Buddhists, Is it Tony Blair, Is it Bush, or is it her own so
dear Arab Muslim brethren? And why Don't I see any Arab Muslim writer decrying
their brothers on brothers crimes? But the low part is really her attempt to tie
it all to 'Arab & Muslim victimhood' without mentioning thje real
culprit.
She writes:
"How can Tony Blair say sorry for slavery when he
will never apologise for Iraq"?
In other words, blacks' suffering are
null & void, the Arabs'  & ONLY their condition is what
matters.
Ever heard of Arab supremacy?
Keep on reading, here she twists
the facts entirely to hide the facts of Arab racism on non-Arab Africans in
Sudan, Chad, Mauritania &, yes Slavery today by... Arab slave
masters:
She writes:
"how does the EU let the genocide in Darfur carry
on? Easy, they are only blacks..."
Wow, I could have sworn she was
talking about the racist Arabs that slaughter their "brethren" Muslims that
their sin is 'not being of the Arab super-race', gang-raping them while calling
them "abid" & zurka", I am pretty sure Yasmin knows what the Arab racist
slur for "Abid" & "Zurka" is, far better than non-ArabTony Blair would ever
know.

 

Why on earth wouldn't Yasmin mention the fact that it's Arab powerful
nations that don't let the UN & other bodies to do anything about Arab
Janjaveed's & Arab backed government in Darfur?
Is it about "Darfurians
being blacks", or is it really about "covering for Arab crimes", whether it's
Sudan, Chad, or in Lebanon by Hezbollah's human shields (we all saw UN's outcry
at Qana, but not on the real perpetrators that are the only ones that always
rejoice when their ploy of causing Arab kids' deaths finally comes through
successfully and in a manner they can smear Israel for it) or the same type
of crimes by 'Palestinian' Hamas on their own children.

Did any of us hear the term 'human shields by Arabs on their own kids' as
at a fraction of as many times we have all heard again & again, the pathetic
"apartheid" slur in vain?

And Why in fact does' the UN convene on the real crimes against humanity
but on balloons & slurs?

 

There you have it, 1) The Arab racism in demonizing the west, 2)
Wish-washing Arabs' crimes.
