NWO PEACEKEEPER-SPEAK
The Mother of All Regime Changes
Iraq and peace in our time.

'This is it'

LOS ANGELES -- February 25, 2003 -- Nearly six months past the originally targeted timeframe, the US and its "Unilateralist Coalition" are finally poised to strike at Iraq's oppressive leadership. And true to form, Saddam Hussein continues playing games with UN inspectors.

Will Saddam have another, last, second change of heart and destroy the al-Samoud missiles which violate UN restrictions? Most likely he will, or else risk losing the support of Germany, and even France. The bigger question to be answered is whether Hans Blix will realize he has been played for the biggest fool since Colonel Klink.

While the UN arms inspectors have failed to gain a private interview with a single Iraqi scientist (because of the scientists' fear of future persecution), Mr. Blix's team has reportedly been offered bribes. One must wonder how many of the team members have accepted the offers, since facilities subjected to surprise inspections are remarkably prepared to host the inspectors when they do arrive. In other words, the weapons sites are being tipped off by Iraqi intelligence beforehand.

My gut instinct tells me that, when the US and our allies do invade, they are due to uncover an awesome stockpile of biological and chemical weapons underneath the very streets of Baghdad where a subway was planned for construction, but never reached completion. This leaves a host of underground passages beneath the capital with ample space to not only hide, but also move their weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). Just how much? Well, for that answer, you would have to contact the Pasadena firm hired to draw up the plans.

"Old Europe" sees
her star is fallen.

In turning focus towards the anti-war movement, let's take a good look at France and Germany. These great pillars of "peace" share the distinction of having sired two of the most notorious military tyrants in the history of mankind, Napoleon and Hitler.

And has anyone forgotten France's failure to follow through with weapons inspections on a defeated Germany in the mid-1920s because of cat-and-mouse games played by the Wehrmacht (not dissimilar to those played by Saddam). This helped lead to the resurgence of German military might in the 1930s. Clearly they have forgotten, because this notion of leaving Saddam alone, so the problem will go away, is utterly absurd. History proves it.

Of course, that was then, but what is now? Well, look at the electorates of the two most prominent anti-war nations and how their respective leaders have come to power.

France has always leaned a bit to the left, so Jacques Chirac's rise to power and his anti-American stance come as no great shock. One need only look at a Godard film to understand the French ethos: a society willing to sacrifice it's sanity for the sake of being "different."

As for Germany, her electorate is in disarray. The country saw a rapid influx of new voters during the thirty year rule of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Long-time CDU Chancellor Helmut Kohl oversaw the pivotal 1980s and 90s when former East Germans and foreigners (largely from Turkey) became much more important pieces of the German political landscape.

Supported by government stipends, former East Germans came into the political camp of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), a party promising to continue the massive welfare program at the expense of former West Germans.

Recent immigrants lend their support to the SDP in hopes of keeping in effect the open door immigration policy attacked by more conservative factions of German politics. Supported by these leftist blocs, Gerhard Schroeder leveraged a rise to power to assume the Chancellorship in 1998.

It is sadly no wonder that neo-nazism has emerged in Germany. Such is the result of a conservative populace that feels it has been marginalized. Its frustration fuels deep resentment and violent action by extremists who hope to take things in a fanatical direction and return to past ways of life and former beliefs.

A clear parallel is evidenced by the rise of radical Islam in the Muslim world, where encroachment by Western culture seems to threaten the traditional way of life. Just as the West has come, albeit painfully, to respect women and other races and cultures in society, so shall the East. Traditionalists fear this change and will counter violently, à la Osama bin Laden.

But, I digress. Or do I?

Getting back to the German-French connection, their governments' Leftist representation stands out as evidence to the fact that they are not the voice of Europe of generations before. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield's assertion that the two nations represent "Old Europe" serves as a rude, yet well-deserved, slap in the face to the disillusioned Franco-Deutsch political leadership, something akin to the unpleasant awakening suffered by Norma Desmond in the final scenes of Sunset Boulevard when she sees for herself that her sun had now set.

I just hope we don't allow them to shoot the US-led Coalition in the back, leaving us to bleed, not in a pool, but in a desert, where protective suits will be compromised in warming temperatures of spring and through the scorch of summertime Iraq.

Prophesies of
Mesopotamia.

In all likelihood, the invasion of Iraq will be quick and relatively painless for both sides, until the Coalition's forces surround Baghdad. At that point, all bets are off.

When Saddam's moment of truth arrives, will his most loyal troops remain steadfast, despite the regular army's quick surrender? I wouldn't count on it.

Iraq is a country where mere survival can be considered a victory in and of itself. Those in Saddam's inner circle will either flee, or turn on Saddam, as US military planners hope.

Following the downfall of Saddam's regime, we will see the beginning of a Domino Effect in the Middle East, vastly different from the Russian-motivated Communist Domino Effect in Southeast Asia during the 1960s, predicted by Dulles.

First to go will be Iraq. Then, Iran. Half of its populace is under 25 and yearning for change. Knowing full well the example of Tienamen Square, the younger generation will take their chances with occupying US military forces next door, and have their go at a new revolution. The Zealots in charge of the government will flee into exile.

This is exactly what the Saudis fear, as they are next: subjugated populaces in the Middle East rising up as human beings who want a say in who rules over them, and in how they are to live.

After a change in Palestinian leadership, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will find a lasting resolution.

Fruition of the maligned New World Order is on it's way. Let Peace reign.

This article is right on the money. It is a precise commentary on the ingenious plan for restructuring the Middle East with a view to establishing a lasting peace in the area (the domino effect will, indeed, occur).

As for the Chirac Schroeder connection, their cock-eyed political motives and moral spinelessness, will sow seeds of mass discontent sooner than they expect, especially in the aftermath of the Coalition's thunderous victory in Iraq. The French and the Germans are a pathetic duo.
