NWO Convergence: What you really need to know about the "uprisings"
in the Middle East and Northern Africa...
For those of you who have read Caroll Quigley's "Tragedy
and Hope," or listened to G. Edward Griffin's interview
of The Reece Committee's Norman Dodd, the globalist's
strategy to merge communism and capitalism, East and West,
will not be new. To those who are not familiar with the
NWO's formulaic use of the Hegelian Dialectic...
"Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis," this article will bring
clarity to the chaos now unfolding in the Middle East
and North Africa.
Organized Chaos: Behind the Scenes in the Middle East
By William Jasper

The decades-old autocracies of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and
Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia have already been toppled,
and as we go to press, the tyrannical regime of Libya’s
terror-sponsoring dictator Moammar Ghadafi is on the ropes.
And the fires of revolt are igniting or fully blazing in
Oman, Bahrain, Yemen, and Morocco.
There is a spirit within each of us that rejoices at seeing
any of our human family successfully shaking off despotic
chains. Americans, who have been blessed with a heritage of
liberty beyond the dreams of most the Earth’s people, can
especially identify with the sentiments of poet James Russell
Lowell’s famous lines:
When a deed is done for Freedom,
through the broad earth’s aching breast.
Runs a thrill of joy prophetic,
trembling on from east to west.
The broad appeal of the current Mideast upheavals is enhanced
by the appearance that they: 1) represent genuinely grassroots,
spontaneous movements; and 2) represent the triumph of unarmed,
mostly nonviolent masses against entrenched, absolute power.
Compared to the bloodbaths that frequently accompany revolutions,
the transitions in Egypt and Tunisia have been remarkably
benign — thus far. Of course, they could quickly degenerate
into fratricidal civil war, or Khomeini-style totalitarian
oppression. And the same potential holds for virtually all
of the current hot spots in northern Africa and the Middle East.
First comes the consolidation of power, then comes the bloody tyranny.
The Jacobins, remember, did not unleash their infamous Reign
of Terror at the start of the French Revolution, in 1789;
they had to restrain their full bloodlust until 1793, when
they had sufficiently consolidated their power.
Consolidation is an essential stage of every revolution.
Tragically, all too often this period of “peaceful” transition
is a planned prelude to slaughter and tyranny, as demonstrated
by Mao Tse-tung’s Communist Army in China, Fidel Castro’s
July 26th Movement in Cuba, Pol Pot’s communist Khmer Rouge
in Cambodia, the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, the Hutu Interahamwe
in Rwanda, Khomeini’s Revolutionary Guards in Iran, and
dozens of other examples that could be cited.
"The real power behind the major revolutions always remains concealed."
The astute observation of the British historian and statesman
John Emerich Dalberg, more commonly known as Lord Acton, is
apropos here. In his famous series of discourses entitled
“Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge
University between 1895 and 1899, Lord Acton noted:
"The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the
tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we
perceive the evidence of calculating organization. The
managers remain studiously concealed and masked; but there
is no doubt about their presence from the first."
The enormously wealthy Duke of Orleans (a cousin to King
Louis XVI), the Count Mirabeau, and the infamously depraved
Marquis de Sade are but a few of the rich and privileged
conspirators who financed and organized the secret societies
and criminal combinations that instigated the riots,
demonstrations, and terrors of the French Revolution. Most
of the major riots and revolutions of the modern age have,
likewise, been guided by “managers” who “remain studiously
concealed.”
The Planned Chaos In The Middle East
Are there hidden managers of the current turbulence in the
Middle East? Is there a design behind the tumult that the
managed news media fail to see, or are consciously obscuring?
According to the reportage from the mainstream media, the
activities convulsing the “Arab Street” capitals are
primarily the result of popular discontent and networking
by the alienated youth of the Facebook and Twitter
generation. The Muslim Brotherhood is a prime mover in these
events, according to some reporters and analysts, but
according to others their role has been greatly exaggerated.
Previously unknown organizations and individuals have
assumed the spotlight as supposed leaders of the uprisings.
However, the reporting and analysis from the establishment
sources invariably fail to mention the most critical facts
concerning these individuals and organizations.
The Globalists and the Marxist-Communists: Odd Couple,
or hand in glove?
The accompanying articles by Charles Scaliger and Christian
Gomez focus, respectively, on two of the most important
organized forces at work in the upheavals: the globalists,
as represented most notably by the Council on Foreign Relations,
and the communists or Marxist-Left.
These forces are rarely mentioned in the major media reports,
and if noted at all tend to be presented as opposite and
rival forces. But these forces have, in fact, cooperated many
times over the past several decades, to effect some of the
most profound and tragic geopolitical revolutions in history,
including the betrayal of China to Mao’s communists, and
similar betrayals in Poland, Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, South
Africa, Nicaragua, Iran, etc.
(SOTB: And with Obama leading & Soros funding the betrayal,
you will soon be able to add America to that list.)
The CFR's "strategy of convergence."
This treachery has been detailed in numerous articles in
the pages of this magazine and, notably, in James Perloff’s
indispensable study, The Shadows of Power: The Council on
Foreign Relations and the American Decline (1988).
In sum, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), has been
pursuing a grand global strategy of “convergence,” in which
enormous transfusions of taxpayer funds from the middle
classes of America and Europe and vast amounts of our
technology are transferred to the communist countries —
under the guise of helping them “go capitalist.”
This process, which has been accelerating for the past 30 years,
has largely hollowed out America’s economy, reducing us almost
to beggar status, while China has vaulted from beggar to global
economic-political-military super-power.
The same process has also taken us ever further down the
socialist road, as the federal government has usurped more
and more powers and taken over an ever-increasing share of
the national economy. Economic convergence with China and
Russia is already occurring on many levels, thanks to
policies crafted, largely, by the hundreds of CFR members
who have been strategically promoted to many of the top posts
in our leading political, financial, philanthropic, academic,
and media institutions.
The Middle East has long been a key target of the communist
leaders of Moscow and Beijing, who have coveted its oil and
strategic sea lanes, among other things. Despite claims that
communism is dead and that the Cold War is over, Russia and
China have stepped up their efforts to penetrate, dominate,
and annex the Middle East.
There are undoubtedly now more KGB agents plying the Middle
East than during the height of the Cold War, though of course
the KGB has changed its name to SVR and FSB, and most of these
agents operate as “capitalist” businessmen.
A prime example is Yevgeny Primakov, the KGB’s former Mideast
terrorism chief and top Arabist (SOTB: also an early consultant
in the creation of Homeland Security), who now serves Putin
as head of the Russian Chamber of Commerce.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Primakov, and their
minions swarm over the Middle East and operate through every
conceivable venue: OPEC, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the
Organization of Islamic Conference, the Dialogue of
Civilizations, the Russia-Arab Business Council, the
Nonprofit Partnership Africa Alliance, the Africa-Russia
Partnership & Success, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Russia-
Islamic World Strategic Vision Group, etc.
China, flush with even more cash than Russia, is following a
similar path. Yet there is very little in the American media
about the enormous presence and influence of this growing
Beijing-Moscow axis throughout the region.
And despite all the fashionable talk in CFR circles about
convergence and our new “partnerships” with Putin and Hu
Jintao, their politburos in Moscow and Beijing have far
different views about the kinds of regimes that are to be
preferred in the Middle East than do most Americans. They
are the backers of Iran and Syria, the two most dangerous
terror states in the region. They support the new Hezbollah
government in Lebanon, which fronts for Syria and Iran.
(SOTB: Cui Bono? And who profits from this never-ending
war between communism and capitalism, and East & West?
The very same multi-national CEOs from the CFR that both
Eisenhower and JFK warned us about.)
While Americans have every reason to oppose the continued
transfer of their wealth, in the form of foreign aid, to
regimes such as Mubarak’s and Ben Ali’s, we also can hardly
favor even worse regimes modeled on the likes of those in
power in Beirut, Damascus, and Tehran. Yet that is a very
distinct likelihood, as a result of the recent turnovers and
the continued turmoil. Russia, China, Iran Syria, Hezbollah,
and Hamas have all hailed the toppling of Egypt’s Mubarak,
and there is good reason to believe this is not merely
opportunistic rhetoric; they undoubtedly intend to turn
it into concrete benefit for their interests.
The CFR Handprints Are Everywhere
Contrary to the conventional cover stories presenting the
uprisings in Cairo, Tunis, and elsewhere as spontaneous
bottom-up affairs, there is a great deal of evidence
indicating that they were instead coordinated top-down events
planned long before the first street demonstrations began.
And like the slime trail in the garden that leads to the
slug, the trail here leads back to the Council on Foreign
Relations. Utilizing its unparalleled network of high-level
members in the U.S. government, the United Nations, the World
Bank, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the
Brookings Institution, and many NGOs, corporations, and
philanthropic organizations, the CFR has employed a pincer
attack pressuring the target governments with economic and
diplomatic efforts from above, while funding Astroturf
protests from below designed to look like real grass-roots
affairs.
ElBaradei; CFR & UN Puppet
As Charles Scaliger notes elsewhere in this issue, the savior
whom the media has anointed as the next President of Egypt,
Mohamed ElBaradei, was publicly picked over a year ago in
the CFR’s journal Foreign Affairs as the “hero” who would
save Egypt.
ElBaradei, a UN factotum for nearly three decades at the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is also a trustee
of a high-level CFR-dominated think tank known as the
International Crisis Group (ICG), along with billionaire
left-wing activist George Soros (CFR) and Zbigniew Brzezinski
(CFR), the Carter administration architect who (among many
“accomplishments”) supervised the joint U.S.-Soviet overthrow
of the Shah of Iran and his replacement by the virulently
anti-American terrorism-sponsoring regime of Ayatollah
Khomeini, as documented in The New American article “Iran
and the Shah: What Really Happened” (May 12, 2009 issue).
One of the forces credited in much of the media reports for
launching the Egyptian demonstrations that shook Mubarak from
power is the April 6 Youth Movement started by Ahmed Maher.
One of the more interesting facts to surface in all of the
commotion was that, far from being a lone cyber warrior
“speaking truth to power,” Maher is actually a product of one
of the CFR’s global Astroturf groups, the Alliance for Youth
Movements (AYM), an outfit funded by the U.S. State Department
(our tax dollars at work) and a passel of CFR corporate sponsors.
Over the past several years, AYM has been helping train
thousands of young activists from around the world to bring
about Obama-style change and topple governments. Ahmed Maher
was a participant in AYM’s major New York City conference in
2008.
Google, an In-Q-Tel/CIA vehicle in disguise as a public company.
AYM was co-founded by Jared Cohen, a Rhodes Scholar who is an
adjunct fellow at the CFR and director of Google Ideas, a
major new entity at Google.
Before going to Google, Cohen was on the State Department’s
Policy Planning Staff under both Secretaries of State
Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. (Secretary Rice is a
CFR member; Secretary Clinton is not, though her husband is
a member, as are many of her underlings at State.) Cohen and
his two co-founders, Jason Liebman and Roman Tsunder, comprise
the three-man board of directors at AYM. In addition to funding
from the State Department, additional financial backing for
AYM has come from Google, Pepsi, CBS News, MSNBC, MTV, Facebook,
National Geographic, Twitter, and Meetup.
Michael Milken, Junk Bonds, And Funding Marxist-Communist Fronts...
Another interesting name to surface at the epicenter of the
current “digital democracy” revolution is Peter Ackerman, a
CFR director known as the “Teflon Junk Bond King”; while his
partner, Michael Milken, had to pay over $1 billion in fines
and settlements and spend 22 months in jail, Ackerman walked
away free — with a reported $500 million.
Ackerman is the founding chair of the International Center on
Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC) and has authored two books that
have become manuals for the “democracy” uprisings around the
world: A Force More Powerful and Strategic Nonviolent Conflict.
He teamed up with PBS to produce the TV documentary Bringing
Down a Dictator and the series A Force More Powerful, which,
reportedly, were being heavily promoted by the U.S.
government in the Middle East during the year leading up to
the regional commotions. Serving as Ackerman’s chair of
academic advisors at ICNC is Dr. Stephen Zunes, a leftist
professor and author who also serves on the board of the
Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), the Marxist “think tank”
notorious for its pro-communist stances and its ties to the
Soviet KGB and the Cuban DGI.
(SOTB: Imagine that? And you still think it's a "conspiracy theory"
that the bankers and the globalist multi-nationals sponsor
Marxism, socialism, and communism?
FYI: Speaking of the real power behind revolutions always
remaining hidden in the background. Did you know that the
head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn is also the founder
of "Socialisme et Judaïsme"(Socialism and Judaism)?
From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org
Political Career
"After the election of President François Mitterrand (PS)
in 1981, he decided to stay out of government. He got involved
in the Socialist Party (PS), which was led by Lionel Jospin,
and founded Socialisme et judaïsme ("Socialism and Judaism").
Ackerman is also a member of the U.S. Advisory Council of the
United States Institute of Peace (USIP), a U.S. government-
funded operation that has worked closely with USAID (the
State Department’s (CIA) foreign aid arm) to promote
the “people power” revolutions now rocking the Middle East.
Besides Ackerman, the CFR members at USIP include J. Robinson
West (USIP chairman of the Board of Directors), George E.
Moose, Chester A. Crocker, Stephen D. Krasner, Richard H.
Solomon, Michael H. Posner, Ann E. Rondeau, Frank Carlucci
(former CIA director), Max Kampelman, and Marvin Kalb —
to name but a few.
With funding from USAID and foundations such as Rockefeller,
Ford, and Car-negie, USIP has, since at least 2006, been
organizing political opposition groups under its Muslim World
Initiative and a series of conferences on “Political Oppositions
in the Arab World,” which USIP conducted in Yemen, Jordan,
Egypt, and Morocco.
Obama's Janus-faced “Diplomacy”
The Obama administration was chastised by both the Left and
the Right for indecisiveness and ineptitude for its public
announcements of support for Mubarak and then the manner of
its vacillation and flipflop to the side of the protesters.
But what has been criticized as “amateur diplomacy” was more
likely planned deception. While the foreign policy
establishment at the CFR had already determined to dump
Mubarak months (or years) before, Team Obama was likely
tasked with reassuring the soon-to-be-deposed dictator that
the United States was backing him up. Imagine a scene from
one of the many gangland movies you’ve seen in which the
Godfather embraces a “brother” with faux affection; the real
purpose is to distract the victim while a knife is driven
into his back.
The CFR's Double Cross of Mubarak
Mubarak may not have seen it coming; after all, he had been
the darling of the American establishment for decades. On
March 5, 2002, he was the speaker and guest of honor at a CFR
star-studded gala in New York. The event was opened by Peter
G. Peterson (Rothschild frontman), chairman of the Council
on Foreign Relations.
“The Council has hosted leaders from our nation and around
the world but not likely one more important to quelling the
fires of violence and indeed to breaking this most unvirtuous
circle of violence and to rebuilding dreams of peace than our
guest today,” he told his distinguished guests. He continued:
“My honor is to welcome President Mubarak on behalf of the
Council members and guests and to say how honored we are to
have you with us, Mr. President.... Matters in the Middle
East can take a turn now for the better or worse. We all look
to you, Mr. President, to help all of us toward that better
future.”
Many other leaders — some genuine, honorable allies (Shah
Pahlavi, Anastasio Somoza, Ian Smith, Chiang Kai-shek, Moise
Tshombe) and some tyrants (Saddam Hussein, Nicolae Ceausescu,
Robert Mugabe) — have been given similar red carpet treatment,
only to have it jerked out from under them when it suits
the “new world order” convergence policies of the globalist
elites who run the Council on Foreign Relations.
