Shaping the other in the Image of the Self

Human beings have an ambiguous relationship with the image of the other. We like what looks different from us because we like variety and are amused by it. However, we tolerate the company of the other only as long as we have no reason to fear it. But the moment that something happens to reveal that the other represents danger, we distance ourselves from it, and never forget how it looks in case we encounter it again.

Still, it can happen that things unfold in such a way as to compel us to be in the company of others. In this case, we instinctively begin to work on changing the other, and make it look like us. The reason for this is not simply aesthetic; it is existential at its roots. That's because when we work on changing the other, we make ourselves a strong leader while making the other a weak follower. This tends to reassure us that the other will not get ahead of us; a situation that guarantees our security.

However, this strategy is not always free of danger. That's because the other may combine the strength we helped it develop with the strength we failed to detect in it – to end up with a combination that surpasses our strength. This will allow it to overtake us – and spare us or harm us – depending on its instinct and how we treated it while instructing it. In fact, the social unease that used to prevail in America at one time had to do with the fear that the Whites developed when Blacks began to display an uppity tendency.

Because America is made of people that usually left a bad situation in the old country, and usually met with success in the new country, America developed the tendency to try and change the old countries in a drive to make them look a little like itself in matters of governance, industry and finance. Several doctrines were developed in this regard, and were implemented with results that range from good to indifferent to disastrous.

The good happened in two places. It happened when the Europeans fought each other viciously, and then called on the Americans to help them pull out of their morass. It also happened when the Japanese turned against their neighbors then made the mistake of turning against the Americans. They were defeated, and America imposed its doctrines in some parts of Asia while some other parts of the Continent willingly chose to adopt the American methods.

In other places around the world, mainly Latin America and the Caribbean, some countries experimented with the American ideals but then turned indifferent towards them. When America tried to interfere, the locals revolted and developed anti-American sentiments. That's still there but things may change now that America kissed Cuba and made up with it.

As to the countries where America met with disastrous results, they fall mainly in the regions of the globe where ancient civilizations once rose, and where they left a strong tradition that may not always suit modern times but is too difficult to shed – and in some places, too slow to marry with the new. These places would have remained indifferent to America's doctrines except for the fact that the Jews saw an opportunity to implement their own agenda by pretending to implement America's agenda.

That would be the Middle East where serenity used to be the norm, and where chaos has reigned since the advent of the Jews. The situation was made worse when the Jews took control of America's foreign policy and dragged the superpower into a region of the globe that can easily become America's Vietnam on steroid. A three-sided melodrama is unfolding at this time; a situation in which America, the Jews and the collective Arab/Muslim world represent the three sides.

The problem for America in a nutshell is that the Jews wish to impose on those countries the governance part of America's doctrine but not the industrial or financial parts. They wish to see the governance that will allow them to infiltrated those countries and dominate them the way they pulled it off in America. But they fear that the industrial and financial development of those countries will eventually mesh with the ancient traditions and keep the Jews out. Thus, their fantasy is to see a democratic but otherwise backward Middle East and North Africa.

In essence then, while the Jews are pushing America to “democratize” the Middle East, they also push it to destroy the infrastructure of the countries in the region as fast as these countries develop. They once teamed up with the French and the Brits to attack Egypt's Suez Canal, and they incited the Americans to deny that country the ability to develop the Aswan region. Subsequent to that, they did it to Iraq and to Libya.

They are now doing it to others in a more or less open fashion. With this in mind, read Michael Makovsky's latest creation which came under the title: “Deal Brings Iran Closer to Obtaining Nuclear Weapons Capability,” published on July 24, 2015 in the Weekly Standard. Here – Makovsky who should be thought of as one of the most slippery snakes in the group of Jewish debaters – is lending his subtle voice to the argument that Iran is preparing to annihilate the world and go down with it, which is why it must be lapped for breakfast before it devours the world at lunch time.

Having a deal with Iran means having peace with Iran. This will have the effect of nullifying the Jewish effort to sabotage that country's program to modernize. And this is why the Makovsky's of this world are desperately trying to keep the animosity going between America and Iran.

See for yourself and pass your own judgment.
