The governments of the west, preparing us for what is becoming an inevitable clash of civilisations.
The governments in the
West, particularly those of France, the United kingdom and the United
States, are out of control and the media and television, so eager to
absorb the latest round of “updates” emanating from the
government propaganda machine, vie with each other to produce the
most sensational or vivid headlines for the next edition or the next
news broadcast on their channel.
In this respect, the media
have done a first class job in persuading vast sections of the
people, that the “threat” of Islamic extremism is so severe so as
to warrant even more restrictions on individual civil liberties and
to justify the proposition that government agencies, should without
any checks, controls or balances, be able to monitor all forms of
communications between people, by fax, e-mail, Skype links, telephone
or any other means. In addition to this, government agencies are
forcing Internet providers to be part of this population monitoring
and to collaborate with the “security” organisations to provide
the means to carry out this surveillance by passing on any
information or data that the security services may require. The
Gestapo, Stasi, BOSS, MOSSAD, NKVD and many other State Police or
security organisations would or would have coveted such powers.
The reasons for these
government initiatives, at this time may be explained by Carl Gustav
Jung and his theory of “synchronicity”. The occurrence of the two
or more events that appear to be meaningfully related but not
causally related in this instance, could be the publication of
cartoons in the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo, the
terrorist attacks on the magazine offices and the Jewish supermarket
and the hysterical eruption of outrage and grief in the media and on
television screens around Europe and the world. Two or more events
coming together at a point in time and providing the means or the
opportunity for another related but not necessarily connected event.
In simple terms, the
media, encouraged and fueled by governments, is pouring out the most
crass and provocative attack on Islam and engaging in the most
blatant hypocritical rhetoric.
Hiding behind the guise
and excuse of “Freedom of Speech” the press and western
government “leaders” demonstrate how freedom of speech applies
only in one direction. Criticize or mock Jews and the cry of “Anti
Semitic” immediately echo's around the streets and screams in the
media, and many Jews not only in Israel are very keen to play the
holocaust card which seeks to arouse the collective guilty conscience
that too many people still carry. Israel is planning to demand an
apology for a controversial cartoon mocking Benjamin Netanyahu which
appeared in a British newspaper. Where is the consistency and balance
of that? Or a Dutch court imposing a fine and 2 year probation order
on the Belgium and Netherlands-based Arab European League for
publishing a cartoon suggesting the Holocaust was made up or
exaggerated by Jews. When handing down the sentence, the court stated
that the cartoon was “unnecessarily hurtful.” Clearly, the
principle of “Free Speech” is a one way street.
Under the smokescreen of
demonstrations, counter demonstrations, the “Je suis Charlie” the
“Je suis Palestine” Western leaders gather in Paris for a photo
opportunity under the banner of supporting “Free Speech”. Only
when viewed from another angle is it possible to see that the
“photograph” shows that the “world leaders” are in fact
surrounded by security people and are completely segregated from the
main demonstration.
There is a sinister and
very worrying trend that has been growing over recent years and has
almost reached fever pitch over the last week. “Anti terrorist”
raids are taking place all over Europe with police and security
forces on the streets of our towns and cities, guarding “vulnerable”
targets. Special security meetings are taking place for governments
to discuss and implement new security measures designed to combat the
“terrorist threat” to national security. There is little doubt
that there exists a threat of terrorism but there is also little
doubt that the current threat is exaggerated.
The situation in the
United Kingdom now, is not the same as when the IRA bombing campaign
brought “The troubles” to the streets of Manchester, London,
Coventry and many other towns on mainland Britain.
The governments of the
west, are embarked upon a programme of preparation for what is fast
becoming an inevitable clash of civilisations. A new “Crusade”
against Islamic nations and peoples, using the justification of a
“War on Terror” as the means to effectuate public support for
such an enterprise. In this respect, the television and media are
playing an enthusiastically supportive role with almost daily stories
and features cranking up the Islamic threat. In many ways, today’s
media is reminiscent of the German Press of September 1939 using
hysterical rhetoric to justify an attack on Poland.
We have reached a very
dangerous time in our history. The world is polarising between
Islamic and non Islamic nations and this polarisation is clearly
reflected in our own society. The voices of moderation and reason are
being silenced by the sounds of sabre rattling and preparation for
battle.
The years of hypocritical
rhetoric from western governments seems to have prevailed and aided
by the press and media, has conditioned many people to accept
deception as truth.
We are still able to avert
the impending tragedy, but time is running out.
