The American Habit of self-Emasculation

If you want to see a stark example of a joker advising his country's leaders to emasculate themselves and their country to benefit Israel, read the two articles that appeared on two consecutive days in two different publications on two continents.

The first came under the title: “Egypt Desperately Needs a Friend Right Now” and the subtitle: “Al-Sisi requires more than a phone call with Donald Trump to get his country on stable footing.” It was written by James Stavridis and published on February 24, 2017 in (the American) Foreign Policy. The second article came under the title: “Egypt emerging from the doldrums,” written by Sunanda K Dayya-Ray and published on February 25, 2017 in the (British) Free Press Journal.

If you can imagine Israel as the scalpel that keeps slicing off Uncle Sam's manhood – as seen by the Arab and Muslim societies if not the whole world – you'll understand how horrendously idiotic it is for James Stavridis to have written an article pretending to advocate the building of a beneficial relationship for the United States when in fact, the article is a deceptive piece meant to use Egypt to rescue Israel from an economic sudden death.

What makes the article even more asinine is that the author submitted the thing to Foreign Policy for publication. Try to imagine the animal impulse that drove the editor of that rag to choose the headline that he did, and you'll know why some animals never evolve to become human.

As to the message of Stavridis, he says that Egypt has done a few good things for itself, but then adds this: “It has yet to plot a realistic long-term trajectory.” Well, it is obvious that the man has no idea what plans have been drawn in Egypt, and how much of that is currently being implemented. To make a long story short, you design an economic plan beginning at the end and working your way backward.

The end is where you calculate the amount of electric power you'll need to run the kind of economy you planned. You then start constructing the stations that will supply what you have envisaged. And you know what, my friend! From 30 gigawatts of capacity on the Egyptian grid two years ago, another 10 gigawatts planned for this year have started to come on line, and there will be 5 more soon thereafter. The idea is to reach 60 gigawatts by the end of the decade. This will put Egypt at rough parity with the European countries. Given that household consumption is close to saturation at this time, most of the extra generation goes to fuel new industries – producing heavy machinery to hi-tech products – going up at a breakneck speed in the country at this time.

So then, what does Stavridis want to see happen? Before saying what he wants, he begins with a lie. He says that Egypt is “partnering with Israel in technology.” No. There is no technology in Israel worth partnering with. The Israelis conned the people on the NASDAQ for a long time before they got kicked out of there. They tried their luck in Canada but were warned not to try anything funny, or else. And now, they are trying to pull a fast one on the Egyptians, so they called on James Stavridis to pave the way for them. Shame on him.

Here is how Stavridis is pushing for a relationship that will cut-off what's left of Uncle Sam's manhood, turning him into Aunt Samantha: “First and foremost, we must ensure a good working relationship between Israel and Egypt.” He goes on: “Egypt's interests intertwine with America's as a crucial partner for Israel.” Hogwash. Only brain dead zombies like those populating the American congress would want to partner with a blood sucking leech like Israel. Get off Egypt's case and get lost if you can't behave like the Brits.

To see how the Brits are behaving in this case, we turn to Datta-Ray's article. He says: “as if to repudiate this column's gloomy comments about Egypt last week, the country is celebrating 'Egypt Petroleum Show' with over 40 British companies participating. The show indicated that Egypt's economy is beginning to emerge … the best news was that foreign reserves rose to $26.4 billion”.

He goes on to reveal that the Brits are investing $13 billion in Egypt's oil and gas industries alone, expecting the country to become an energy superpower. He asserts: “Britain isn't the only country to be optimistic about Egypt's future … The country has restored the confidence of foreign investors and institutions through reforms that showed a 76 per cent rise in the stock market over the last year, relying on financial and economic policies and implementing an appropriate legislative framework”.

So while the Jews are turning Sam into Samantha, the civilized world is turning Egypt into a superpower.
