The Nature Of Change Escaping The Rupert

On June 5, 2013 the editors of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) came up with an editorial to which they gave the title: “The Old New Egypt” and the subtitle: “Cairo sentences 43 democratic activists to prison.” They tell what it's all about in the opening paragraph: “The charges include operating illegal nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and receiving funds without permission.” Then they tell what they think of the whole subject matter in a short sentence: “Egypt's spiral down continues.”

Well, there has been talk lately about some kind of al-Qaeda publication that tells the world what it thinks of America's doings. Suppose now that its editors write something like this: “Washington sentences KSM to prison for an indefinite period of time. America's spiral down continues.” Reading this, any sane person would say that the savages have spoken, and they are condemning the civilized behavior of the sovereign country of America. By the same token, the editors of the WSJ have proven themselves to be savages, and they are condemning the civilized behavior of the sovereign country of Egypt.

The savages that America is putting on trial, including KSM, wish to take the world back in time. As well, the savages who edit the WSJ are presided over by Rupert Murdoch who never hides the sentiment he wants to take America back to the Nineteenth century; to a time when gunboat diplomacy was the order of the day. Rupert Murdoch is the KSM of journalism whether he is in Australia, Europe or North America. Like al-Qaeda, he has a worldwide reach and he is dangerous.

Where did he and his people go wrong? To answer the question we begin with the view that “the more things change, the more they remain the same.” In fact, it may seem that way to some people depending on what they are looking at. But looking at the same phenomenon, another group people would say that “the more things change, the more they do change.” Why is that? It is because no one looks at something and sees the whole thing. Each looks at a portion of it and sees no change at all, or sees some kind of change.

This happens because everyone expects to see something different with regard to any phenomenon. In the case of the Middle East, for example, the change that characters such as the editors of the WSJ want to see are governments made of pimps and prostitutes, madams and gigolos modeled after the Jewish toilet bowl they call congress of the USA. Either this or they want to see a Middle East that is completely disintegrating. They are not seeing this happen to Egypt and so they feel the bile stir violently enough in their bellies to pronounce with confidence that “Egypt's spiral down continues.” Of course, these same people believe that the American congress is spiraling upward. But who else in the world cares, anyway? Nobody.

So then, is there change happening in the Middle East? Yes there is. Whether it is in North Africa, the Levant or Turkey, the people who were brought up under harsh but open and honest conditions are revolting, and they are questioning their current human condition, including the role of religion in their daily lives.

In contrast, religion is coming back to America with a vengeance not because it is growing out of the grassroots but because it is responding to the soft but subtle and dishonest saturation of the landscape by a Jewish encroachment that is seen to grow everywhere like unwanted weed. But who else in the world cares, anyway? Nobody.

Rupert Murdoch would do well to direct the fires of his gunboat at the American congress of pimps and prostitutes, madams and gigolos, and leave the Middle East alone. This place is now in the hands of those who know how to start a civilization, maintain it for thousands of years, evolve it when it needs to change, and start fresh when the time is ripe. They do not need the help of a Murdoch or his board of editorial snorts.
