I don't know what happened to Daniels Pipes, but he seems to have been gripped by a sudden urge to tell the American people he'll ejaculate his moral syphilis into their hearts, heads and souls because it makes him feel good when he does that. He then went ahead and relieved himself of the urge.
He did so in the article he
wrote under the title: “Anti-Zionist Gamal Abdel Nasser lives on in Egypt,”
published on September 27, 2020 in The Washington Times. Pipes went on to
describe Nasser's character as intimately as only his psychiatrist and fellow
traveler would know him … if only what Pipes had said were true. To make the
lies he piled against Nasser's character stick, Pipes had no choice but to
express contempt for his readers by telling them a lie that can easily be
verified. It is this: “Gamal Abdel Nasser, ruler of Egypt … during his 18 years
in power, 1952-70 dominated the Middle East”.
Well, my friend, anyone that
pretends to know Nasser as Pipes wants you to believe he does, would know that
Nasser did not begin ruling Egypt until two years after King Farouk was told to
abdicate. This would make it that he ruled Egypt during the 16 years (not 18)
that span the period 1954-70; not 1952-70. The importance of correcting the
mutilation of history committed by Daniel Pipes resides in the fact that
knowledge of the historical events which unfolded during the two years 1952-54
completely contradict the description that Pipes has given of Nasser's
character.
The truth of the matter is
that Gamal Abdel Nasser was the consummate soldier who became the reluctant
president of Egypt. He always conducted himself in accordance with the military
code of honor, duty and service to the nation. To quote a saying by Douglas
MacArthur, Nasser was one of the “Old Soldiers [that] never die–they just fade
away.” Here is what transpired between 1952 and 1954 in Egypt:
Ruled for centuries by
foreigners, the last one being a frivolous king of Albanian descent, Egypt was
clamoring to see a change of the paradigm that was determining its fate; a fate
that Egyptians did not like. This is what motivated Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser
to plan a bloodless change of the system of governance from monarchic to
republican. Nasser did not think of himself high enough in ranking to go tell
King Farouk to abdicate the throne. Instead, he asked his colleague General
Mohammed Naguib to head the delegation that eventually went to the king and
asked him to abdicate and leave the country.
Naguib did exactly that, and
Farook's son Fouad II ruled Egypt as a “ceremonial” king for a few months
during which time the appropriate protocols were put in place to turn Egypt
into a republic. This happened in 1953. During that Time, Mohammed Naguib
served as Prime Minister. But when Egypt became a republic, he became its first
“caretaker” President and held office till April 1954 when Nasser took over.
Nasser saw that Egypt's
immediate need was to tame the unpredictable Nile that was bringing floods in
some years and droughts in other years since before antiquity to the land of
Egypt. The way to tame the river was to build a dam at Aswan, thus regulate the
flow of the Nile. Since it was decided that this was going to be done, might as
well build a hydro power station and give Egypt two extra gigawatts of power
that will serve as kernel for the country's effort to rejoin the Industrial
Revolution.
Yes, that was to rejoin the
Industrial Revolution because Egypt had become a part of the original
Industrial Revolution when, at the same time as Britain, and before the rest of
Europe, Egypt became the second nation to have a railway system. It was to be
extended to Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, and from there to the rest of Africa so as to
do peaceful commerce with the rest of the Continent.
Unfortunately, the rivalries
in Europe between the nations that were now producing guns and bleeding each
other like savages, decided to turn their savage energies against the nations
that did not have guns to protect themselves. The latter were in Africa and
Asia, and that's where the warring Europeans ceased killing each other and went
looking for easy prey in other parts of the World. Instead of becoming partner
with Europe, Egypt became a prey like the others. Two components of the
European colonial scheme for the Middle East were the Sykes-Picot plan to
redraw the borders of the Levant nations, and the implantation of a Jewish
entity in the heart of the Arab world.
Because Nasser was preoccupied
with building Egypt to where it would have been had there not been a colonial
interruption, he did not care about Israel. He only began to pay attention when
the Jews pressured America to pressure the World Bank to deny Egypt a loan to
build the Aswan dam and hydroelectric station. And of course, he could not
ignore the 1956 invasion of the Suez Canal zone by the two colonial powers,
Britain and France who brought Israel with them to show it how to plan and
execute savage sorties so as to disrupt the lives of its neighbors, thus create
demonic chaos in the region.
Because of his confidence in
the tenacity of the Egyptian people, Nasser stood up to the colonial powers of
the day, and this earned him the admiration to the Arab World, the Non-Aligned
World, and the Third World that was still fighting to liberate itself. Nasser
did not seek to be loved by these people, they loved him unconditionally
because of the content of his character.
Now my friend, read the Daniel
Pipes article, and you'll be able to spot the contradictions that will tell you
this man is both ignorant and a lying devil. Once you've established this
reality to your satisfaction, ask yourself one question: Does this Jew ever
read the Bloomberg News publication or does he not? If he does, he would know that
Bloomberg has become a fan of Egypt's economic performance.
After all, now that most
countries are registering negative growth, Egypt is registering robust positive
growth. And this repeats the performance of a dozen years ago when the
near-depression that was created by W. Bush sent the economies of the world
into a tailspin, whereas Egypt kept registering positive growth quarter after
quarter.
Come to think of it, the people of Egypt have Nasser to thank for this performance because it was the choices that he made, and the reactions of his enemies that put Egypt on the path to becoming an economic powerhouse.
