The Security Council of the United Nations got busy dealing
with affairs of the Middle East right after the 1967 Israeli sneak attack on Egypt . A number
of related topics popped up in the debates that followed, one being the
question of imperialism (then called neocolonialism) returning to Africa, Asia
and Latin America . It returned, said the
proponents of the idea, with the use of surrogates like Israel , and the use of mercenaries like those
that invaded Cuba , as well
as those that fought in Namibia ,
the Congo
and a few other places.
Unaccustomed to hearing the West being accused of this kind
of behavior by delegates of third world countries, pundits of the American
mainstream media didn't know how to react, and so they didn't. But this was the
time that small Jewish publications were beginning to make their presence felt
in America , and their
editors were enraged that the unimpeachable Israel was accused of something at
all.
One publication suggested that lobotomy ought to be
performed on those who revive the memory of times past when colonialism was a
reality … but is no more. The mainstream media echoed that idea, and the trend
became fashionable for a while. During that time, however, the opponents of the
idea who participated in the debate, offered the opinion that colonialism was
dead and buried, never to return in any form.
This sort of trend having a brief shelf-life, the talk about
lobotomy died out quickly and remained buried for something like half a century.
And then, like a zombie that just cannot stay buried, it came back to life
again. But guess what, my friend, guess what! You'll find it hard to believe,
but it is the West that's now accusing a former third world country of
practicing “imperialism.” Unbelievable as it may sound, you have the
opportunity to check it out yourself.
In fact, the trend was revived a short while ago, but
surprisingly persisted to this day as you'll see when you look it up in The
Washington Times. That's where Lamont Colucci published an article on September
19, 2017 under the title: “Assessing Chinese imperialism,” and the subtitle:
“How China
will use the One Belt, One Road ”.
At no time does the article suggest that the Chinese are
doing something that would be scary if done by say, Britain
or Canada or Australia , for
example. But what seems to scare Colucci – who apparently speaks in the name of
all Western nations – is that China 's
natural development, and its willingness to live up to the full potential of
its destiny, poses a threat to America
and to the entire Western World.
What worries him is a Chinese project known as One Belt, One Road that will
link China
with more than sixty countries comprising two thirds the population of the
planet. He does not say the project WILL threaten America or anyone else, but says it
“COULD threaten American interests at every level,” also that “it COULD be the
largest diplomatic, military, economic initiative of the modern age,” and that
it “CAN coerce or cajole many of the third world interests”.
Colucci explains that the project will cost China between
one trillion and eight trillion dollars, and will follow a land route as well
as a sea route. He further explains that the land route will stretch from Singapore to Spain ;
and that the sea route will extend from Indonesia
to Greece .
What he did not mention is that Israel's leaders are doing all they can to
persuade the Chinese to let the route go through Israel by building a rail line
that will cross Israel to connect the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
And this is where we cannot miss the irony of Lamont Colucci
complaining that the One Belt One Road project will be the backbone of a Pax
Sinica representing “an alternate future where the Pax Americana is no more,
and America
retreats from the scene.” Why an irony? Because it was the Jews of Israel and
those of America
who concocted the idea of a Pax Americana. They wanted this project to be the
weapon by which the Middle East could be
re-colonized – this time under their dominance, as the new hegemon on the scene.
The Jews failed to achieve that goal, and now they beg the
Chinese to make Israel a
part of the Pax Sinica where it will be less significant than Dar-es-Salam or Djibouti or any
place where the route will pass.
