Le printemps arabe des Etats-Unis

Plusieurs analyses de Gatestone 

Nous ne pouvons nous empêcher de penser, voyant la situation de dislocation du consensus américain, « qui sème le vent récolte la tempête »!

Rappel de notre avertissement concernant Gatestone 

J’avoue que je suis un peu perplexe devant ces textes, néanmoins je  pense qu’ils doivent être lus.

Le lecteur qui est averti et conserve son esprit critique en tirera bénéfice. 

Je rappelle que Gatestone ne dissimule pas ses biais, il est pro-Israél et c ‘est en toute connaissance de cause que je mets des textes de Gatestone à disposition. La complaisance à l’égard de l’islamisme (l’idéologie, pas la religion) a besoin d’antidotes et ces antidotes, on les prend là ou ils existent et il y en a peu. De temps en temps cela fait du bien de se sentir moins seul! 

Gatestone est d’origine néocon par Bolton, va-t-en guerre, qui est, si mes souvenirs sont bons, le Président. L’autre versant de Gatestone, c’est la CIA. Les analyses sont ce qu’elles sont, et c’est à vous d’exercer votre esprit critique, mais ce qui est sûr c’est que Gatestone est bien renseigné et que la vision qu’il développe est pointue. Il n’est pas facile de trouver des analyses aussi bien documentées ailleurs. 

 

America’s « Arab Spring »

by Nonie Darwish  •  November 3, 2016 at 5:30 am

  • President Obama appears to have been told that if all these secular dictators could be brought down, a magnificent Arab Spring would blossom. This was, it seems, precisely the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood: to get America’s help to topple the dictatorships — then mostly military and secular — but then to replace them with themselves, Islamists.
  • After Egypt took down the Muslim Brotherhood, the goal of establishing the Islamic Caliphate in Egypt simply moved to Syria, the only Arab nation where a secular Muslim leader had survived the Arab Spring.
  • Promoting Islam also seems to have been a major factor in Obama’s equation for America. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton followed suit, hosting several closed-door conferences on « Defamation of Religion, » to suppress free speech and internationally criminalize any criticism of Islam with fines and prison. She would rather blame terrorism on free speech than on the violent tenets of Islam.
  • This escalating subversion should be reason enough for all Western democratic countries permanently to part company with the United Nations. Its history of corruption is neither new nor surprising, or that it is run anti-democratic « club of dictators » whose interests are opposite to ours.

Obama’s first major presidential speech, on June 4, 2009, took place in Cairo before a large number of Islamic sheikhs and members of the Muslim Brotherhood. They were empowered and given legitimacy by Obama. A scorned Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak did not attend; thus, with the blessing of the United States, the Muslim Brotherhood’s rise to power in Egypt was begun. (Image source: White House)

The goals of U.S. President Barack Obama in the Middle East ended the rule of most of the « secular » Arab leaders in the area. His views may have come, partly at least, from propaganda on why Muslim people supposedly lacked freedom there. Obama appears to have been told that if all these secular dictators could be brought down, a magnificent Arab Spring would blossom.

This was, it seems, precisely the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood: to get America’s help to topple the dictatorships — then mostly military and secular — but then to replace them with themselves, Islamists.

Documented: Obama’s « Traditional Muslim Bias » against Christians

by Raymond Ibrahim  •  November 3, 2016 at 4:30 am

  • Those Arabs from nations with large Christian populations or with Christian names failed the Obama team’s « religious tests. »
  • The Obama government’s bias against Mideast Christians closely resembles the traditional bias Christian minorities experience at the hands of Muslim governments.
  • When inviting scores of Muslim representatives, the State Department has been called out at least twice for denying visas to solitary Christian representatives.
  • When a few persecuted Iraqi Christians crossed the border into the U.S., they were thrown in prison for months and then sent back to the countries persecuting them, possibly to be enslaved, raped, or murdered.
  • When the Nigerian government waged an offensive against Boko Haram — another Islamic group that regularly slaughters and rapes Christians and burn their churches — and killed some of its terrorists, John Kerry fumed and called for the « human rights » of the jihadis.
  • It is against Islamic law to side with « infidels » against Muslims.

When a few persecuted Iraqi Christians crossed the border into the U.S., they were thrown in prison for several months and then sent back to the countries persecuting them, possibly to be enslaved, raped, or murdered.

Almost a year ago, U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama called the suggestion that the U.S. give preference to Christian refugees over Muslim refugees « shameful. » « That’s not American. That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion, » he added loftily.

Now, WikiLeaks has released a 2008 email which discusses who should fill top staff positions should Obama win the presidency: it clearly proves that the Obama administration has long used « religious tests » — but to discriminate against Christians in favor of Muslims

The email was sent from former New York Solicitor General Preeta D. Bansal to Michael Froman, a classmate of Obama’s at Harvard and a member of the 12-person advisory board for the Obama campaign’s transition team. The key passage reads:

Erdogan’s Neo-Ottoman Plans

by Burak Bekdil  •  November 3, 2016 at 4:00 am

  • « Let us see how your Islamist friend [Erdogan] behaves after crushing the secular establishment. » — The author to a friend, 2004.
  • To insist on the borders Turkey accepted in the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne « is the greatest injustice to be done to the country and to the nation. » — Turkey’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, October 19, 2016.
  • Erdogan’s newfound claims seem to refer not only to wish to regain hegemony to the west (Greece) but also about the south (Syria) and the southeast (Iraq). Turkey evidently wishes to be part of an Iraqi- and Kurdish-led offensive against Mosul, controlled since 2014 by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

In 2013, The Economist published on its cover a photomontage of Ottoman Sultan Selim III and Turkey’s then Prime Minister (now President) Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to illustrate Erdogan’s growing autocratic tendencies (left). In 2015, Erdogan himself posed in his palace with the costumed « 16 warriors » that guard him, who are meant to represent the 16 polities in Turkic history, including the Mughal empire, Timurid empire and Ottoman empire (right).

Sipping his ouzo at a café in Athens on a warm afternoon in 2004, a Greek diplomat friend smiled and said:

« You are wrong about Erdogan. He will reform Turkey’s democratic culture, align it with the European Union, strengthen its ties with NATO and pursue a pro-peace policy in this part of the world. Meanwhile he will crush the secular army establishment and Turkey will no longer be a threat to any of its neighbors. »

I said: « Let us see how your Islamist friend [Erdogan] behaves after crushing the secular establishment. »

Twelve years later, I still enjoy our peaceful ouzo sessions with the same Greek friend. But things do not look equally peaceful between Turkey and its neighbors, including Greece.
