A nation's constitution or
like-document is a description of the self at the highest point of one's
performance. Read any such document, and you'll marvel at the vision that its writers
have for their nation and its ability to perform. But watch them practice what
they preach, and you'll find that only a handful of nations come close to
performing at the level of their founders' vision.
The trouble with constitutions
and like-documents, is that they cannot possibly cover everything in writing.
This is why they only make statements of principle as to what ought to be done,
and leave it to the legislators and the executive to make the thousands of
rules and regulations that deal with the practical world, making sure it
conforms to the principles of the constitution and like-document.
Like everyone else, the United
States of America has a most praiseworthy constitution for what it contains and
a most unworthy constitution for what it omits. Like everyone else, it says
that because all humans are equal, they deserve equal protection and equal
treatment. But like everyone one else, the US constitution omits saying that a
Black is not valued at three fifth a human, and so the society that the
American constitution was serving, considered Blacks to be worth three fifth a
human. This has allowed the society to deny Blacks equal protection and equal
treatment, a situation that was maintained till it was decided –– constitution
or not –– to rescind the insanity.
Times are changing, so is
America and so is the world. We are at a point where the speed of travel and
ease of communication have made the world a very small place. What has not
changed, however, are the rivalries between human beings as individuals and as
societies. One area of contention where rivalry among nations has the potential
to lead to conflict is the matter of governance and how a government deals with
the human rights issue.
The way things are now, there
stands on one side a group of European nations (also referred to as Western)
that had exploited the Industrial Revolution to advance in military matters,
thus conquered the world and subjugated most of it for decades if not
centuries. Because they could give their people the good life at the expense of
those they conquered, they designed a system known as Liberal Democracy which
gave their people maximum freedom while oppressing those whom they colonized
and were exploiting.
And there stands on the other
side, a group of African and Asian nations that were once exploited, and have
now gained their independence but remain underdeveloped, and struggling to
catch up with the advanced nations. Until about three decades ago, bothered by
the guilt of their colonial past, the Western nations adopted the maxim of live
and let live. The United States of America having deep roots in Europe also
adopted that maxim even though it was free of the colonial burden.
And then, just about three
decades ago, something considered unthinkable happened, but turned out to be as
natural as a skunk spraying its fart in the middle of a garden celebration.
What happened was that the Prime Minister of Israel visited America and
commanded his minions in the Washington Beltway to remember that, “Zey know nossing
of za damacracy of za Shamir.” It meant telling the Americans to get busy
imposing the American system of governance, warts and all, on those whom the
Jews will have in their crosshairs and call enemy of the day.
The Americans took the Jewish
command to heart and went on a mission to “democratize” the Middle East by
“kicking asses,” out there, but had their own asses kicked instead. That's when
they showed the world how to flee with the tail between their legs. Still, like
the addict that got hooked on drugs, instead of learning their lesson once and
for all, the Americans are now going around the world looking for someone to
democratize, and make them look like America … or God forbid, like Israel.
To explain all this to the
world, Michael R. Pompeo who is Secretary of the American State, put his ideas
on paper under the title: “American diplomacy must again ground itself in the
nation's founding principle,” and had the article published in the Washington
Post on July 16, 2020. This is a well-crafted piece of work that says all the
right things but omits mention of one important factor.
What the article does well, is
describe the soul searching that went on in America when it came to choosing
between two opposite doctrines. On the one hand, there was the Monroe Doctrine
which says: “The nation must protect the Western Hemisphere from unfree forms
of government.” On the other hand, there was the John Quincy Adams assertion
that says while, “the United States speaks the language of liberty, equal
justice and equal rights, she goes not abroad in search of monsters to
destroy”.
Michael Pompeo appears to
continue that soul searching by wrestling with the question: “What is the
connection between the nation's constitutional system and its international
obligation?”
Too bad all of that will come
to naught, as have many projects in America. The reason is easy to understand.
It is that the Jews are in control of many American institutions, and the
Jewish interest is not in the proper functioning of these institutions; it is
in their usefulness to Israel and World Jewry.
