In a conference held by the Washington Institute for Near
East Policy, held on October 19, 2016, Tom Malinowski, who is Assistant
Secretary of State, gave a 3,500 word speech in which he practically said
nothing. The address was printed on the website of the Institute under the
title: “The Future of Arab Reform: Beyond Autocrats and Islamists,” on October
20, 2016.
Malinowski began by saying that this being the post-Arab
Spring era; he was asked to reflect on democracy and human rights in the Middle East , and to answer the question: “How can we
revive progress on this vital front?” Of course, there is only one answer to
that question. It is this: If America ,
especially Jewish America, keeps its nose out of the region, things will work
out as well as they have for 7,000 years … as opposed to the calamity that has
been inflicted on the region for the last 70 years – since America started poking its nose
there. But that's not how Malinowski saw things.
He began the discussion with a notion he borrowed from then
Secretary Hillary Clinton who, in 2011, said the following: “the greatest
single source of instability in today's Middle East
is not the demand for change. It is the refusal to change.” Of course, Clinton did not come up
with that notion herself, it was bandied about for decades, since Shamir of
Israel went on American television and blurted out: “Zey know nossing about za
damacracy”.
That's when the swarm of Jewish pundits began to harp on the
notion that 'regime change' was urgently needed in the Middle
East . It is when the Holocaust psychos of America – calling
themselves children of Holocaust survivors – began to plot the destruction of
Iraq to change Saddam's regime; something they achieved a decade later as they
worked in the office of then Vice President Dick Cheney … enjoying his full
protection.
This Judeo-American demonic act is the event that led to the
horror now unfolding in the Arab Levant. It had nothing to do with the single
event that sparked a revolution in Tunisia
and spread to Egypt .
This movement was nicknamed the Arab Spring, and might have inspired a similar
one in Syria .
But the full scale horror that developed in the Levant overshadowed the Syrian
Arab Spring, coming as it did in the wake of the destruction of Iraq and the
breakdown of authority that regime change brought to the country. This is why
the events that unfolded in North Africa do not come close to resembling the
horror that's unfolding in the Levant at this
time.
The subtle differences between the two situations – as well
as other subtleties – are the fundamental realities one must recall when
analyzing what's happening in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. But
the sad part is that nowhere in the analysis developed by Malinowski do you see
mention of these realities. Instead, he mentions the changes that occurred in
some of the places, and goes from there to talk, not about what is necessary to
heal the region, but what will be “in our cold, hard national interest”.
As it turned out 'democracy by regime change' that was
supposed to be in America 's
national interest, proved to be no better than “something that threatens us
today more than the turmoil in the Middle East :
cynicism about democratic government. Our adversaries are trying to undermine
confidence in these values. And we've seen how fragile their foundations are.”
Having made this confession, what does Tom Malinowski now recommend?
His answer is the same as that given by the insane wino who
thinks he can cure his hangover by consuming more wine. Malinowski is saying
let's do more of what brought us to this point and maybe the result will be
different. Here are his words: “We have to keep standing up for our values. We
do it for our own sake. If we quit defending our convictions, if we were seen
by the world as giving up, imagine how dispiriting that would be to people
around the word who share our values? Imagine how empowering that would be to
authoritarian leaders”.
Of course, this amounts to saying nothing. However, this
kind of nothingness is not without consequence. Look at his words: “We must
stand up for our values,” but he just admitted that, “we've seen how fragile
their foundations are.” He goes on to say: “We do it for our sake, defending
our convictions,” but he just admitted that, “cynicism threatens us [because]
our adversaries are undermining our values.” And what can be more cynical than
creating another Iraq-Syria horror “for our sake”.
