NATO a Dinosaur Overdue for Extinction
Congratulation President Bush! You accomplished in a mere two years what Khruschev
or Brezhnev couldn’t during the entire cold war. Driving a wedge in the alliance may seem dangerous to most observers,
but for once, you did the right thing. The stated mission of NATO has long passed into history, and its demise and dissolution
is one of the few bright spots in the continuing war against the NWO. Contrary to the whining of the familiar fifth column
suspects - Richard Perle, Frank Gaffney and David Horowitz - real Americas are not served by jingoism.
When France, Germany and Belgium vetoed a U.S. request to provide military assistance to Turkey, NATO received
a diagnosis that the patient has recovered its lucidity and has directed their release from the asylum. Perle’s egotism knows no limits. When he states that : "France is no longer the
ally it once was . . . I have long thought that there were forces in France intent on reducing the American role in the world”,
you hear the quintessential proponent of the “Hyperpower” vision for the United States. The superpower status of military projection has not brought the promised Pax
Americana. Now we have an open break that clearly states that not everyone endorses that specter of global governance.
Recent expansion of NATO to add several Eastern European countries has more
to do with calling the red, white and blue welcome wagon of foreign aid, than real security. It should be evident that EU
countries are not willing to extend a neocolonialism of occupation, much less to accept it, any longer on their own soil.
Its time to bring the troops back home, the Berlin wall came down, and Germans don’t need to be hosting an occupying
army. Or does the subtle objective of the War Party, seek to prevent the reassertion of any nationalism or union on the continent
that could challenge the imperial forces of the beneficent U.S. empire?
Apprehension that remnants of the East German Stasi secret police,
will resurrect fears of the past, ignores the strong non intervention attitude that has steadily grown since the end of WWII.
The brutal lessons of total destruction have been internalized by most Europeans, while many Americans float through a cloud
of self denial that they are immune to the repercussions of their pompous foreign interventionism.
NATO is the invention of the United States and the British. The European Union
countries fully appreciate the risks of accepting a dollar dominated economy and a Bush-Blair-Sharon foreign policy. The prevailing
memory of Western Europe recalls the history on the Middle East and the reasons why that eternal conflict persists. Turkey’s
response, invoking NATO's Article IV, which says "parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of
them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the parties is threatened", will not preserve
an alliance that is on life support. Pulling the plug will not harm the patient, but may well restore its health.
Internationalists are warmongers, and alliances foster belligerency. Any similarity
in the ostensive failed assassination attempt on George H Bush with the successful slaying of Archduke Franz Ferdinand? Protective
alliances triggered mobilization that lead to the great carnage known as WW I. And who can forget the justification to reign
in a non repentant Germany was that treaty with Poland? Just ask a Pole how well they did under the victors of WW II . . .
Before the first gun has fired - the war to expand greater Israel -
this psychotic policy has produced causalities. Note the fall out that comes when fighting in the desert: “German
diplomats are well aware that an American plan for a robust UN inspection system was floated last year and dropped, having
drawn little international enthusiasm. A European reworking of that plan, drawn up without the consultation of the United States, would be seen only as an affront by Washington.”
President Vladimir Putin, who arrived in Paris on Monday after weekend talks in Berlin with German Chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder, said Russia believes the crisis must be resolved diplomatically.
"We are against the war," Putin said. "At the moment, that's
the view I have."
The prospect of Russia nabbing victory using detente when the Soviets
lost the cold war bodes the formation of a New Europasiation. While trade and fair commerce between nations is usually beneficial,
the prospects of swapping one distant chum for a former inimical neighbor, can have its own risks. From the report, New
Partnerships after the Cold War Era by Elif Hatun Kilicbeyli: “With the concept of the regional cooperation, the
importance of the counter dependency, the contribution to the economic integration and the integration to world economy are
meant. The economic relations between Russia and the EU improves within the framework of the planned program.”
If the breakdown in NATO is destined to avail an opportunity to curtail the
Yankee Hyperpower, the alternative need not be the formation of another suspect alliance. It is not unpatriotic to
advocate the wisdom in an America First policy. NATO doesn’t secure an advance for our country, but only provides the
military command and enforcement that imposes the will of global masters. Resistance and opposition against an independent
EU rapid defense force, comes not from the nations of Europe, but from the elites that control the mechanisms of global power.
NATO is one of their tools. Alliances are one of their methods. And suppression of viable self determination is their cherished
goal.
For old cold war diehards, longing for the next threat, look within NATO itself
for the new enemy. The Balkans is not a triumph for NATO, but another example of a temporarily imposed armistice. We applaud
France, Germany and Belgium - the three amigos - and smearing them the “Axis of Weasels”, only confirms our resolve.
CIA veterans have warned the Bush administration not to go to war against Iraq, saying
that doing so would further widen the divide between the Western and Islamic worlds and increase the incidence of terrorism.
In a statement sent to media organizations earlier this week, the retired CIA officials also referred to an agency assessment
report last fall, which, they said, opposed a military offensive against Iraq. They urged the Bush administration to "re-read"
the CIA report that pointed out: "The forces fueling hatred of the United States and fueling al Qaida recruiting are not
being addressed" and that "the underlying causes that drive terrorists will persist."
Reflective citizens surely cannot conclude that invoking NATO’s mutual
protection clauses, on behalf of Turkey, will provide greater security for America? The Brits see through the transparent
Tony Blair, and nearly nine out of ten voters think the UN weapons inspectors should be
given more time to establish whether Iraq is hiding weapons of mass destruction, as France, Germany and Russia have urged.
Meanwhile, just a third think that Britain and America have so far put forward a convincing case for military action against
Iraq. Let’s hope our blood relations will demand new elections! The “einhoreh” evil eye consumes
the Middle East. NATO won’t resolve that hatred, but its intrusive intervention can well escalate and broaden the spread
of the blight. For those who believe that terrorism is confined or reserved only for Islamic’s, they better study the
nature of the conflict.
The United States needs to establish an independent America First foreign policy that avoids all alliances and rejects internationalism. Disband NATO, trade with Europe and ignore the feud
between Semite cousins.
