THE WEST, ALL ALONE IN ITS LITTLE BUBBLE!

TRANSLATED FROM ENTREFILETS, 31/07/12

At the risk of seeming somewhat naive, we have to confess that here at entrefilets, we never cease to be amazed by the extent of the disinformation diffused by the Western Bloc on the subject of the Syrian and Iranian crises. And also, in more general terms, by the persistence of its astonishing need to put a virtuous gloss on even its most obvious machinations, and even its most outrageous acts of barbarism. It is a phenomenon which fascinates us because it signifies a total rupture with the reality that the rest of the world shares.

From Latin America to Asia, also taking in Africa and the Indies, there is a virtually unanimous rejection of this Atlantic claptrap, which bears witness to a vertiginous change in paradigm - the lies of the West no longer deceive anyone but the West itself. Its human-rights-narrative has fizzled out.

In fact, we are the very last ones, the only ones, who still believe in it.
Whether it’s a matter of Iraq or Afghanistan, or Libya, or Syria – and maybe Iran soon – the phony casus belli advanced by the West to justify their lucrative little attacks are now seen for what they really are.

LIBYA BEFORE AND AFTER

THE AMERICAN DREAM CONTEMPLATES THE BLACK HOLE IT IS DISAPPEARING INTO

TRANSLATED FROM DEDEFENSA, 24/08/12

On Wednesday, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) published a report which predicts very serious recessionary conditions in the USA for 2013 - with the loss of two million jobs - if Congress does not manage to get to grips with the colossal public finance deficit. In fact, the CBO is really addressing a paralyzed political leadership, with a report that constitutes a fundamental political and psychological shock for the USA.

Here are a few words from the National Post, taking up Reuters, on the 23^rd August 2012, to give us an idea of the tone of the report – a catastrophic tone also found in other studies like that of the PEW Research Center, which paints a scary picture of the material and psychological state of the population, particularly of the middle classes which have been devastated by the crisis. (We use the term catastrophic objectively, in an approving sense rather than a critical one. It is not an alarmist spirit, but a spirit which objectively observes a general and irreversible drift towards catastrophe as a general state of affairs, much more than any announcement of a specific catastrophe, even if this constitutes a part of it.)

SURREPTIOUSLY, THE SYRIAN CRISIS IS BECOMING THE GREAT CRISIS

TRANSLATED FROM DEDFENSA.ORG, 22/08/12

 

It was on the 4th February 2012 that the Syrian crisis really took off, with the Russian and Chinese vetoing a resolution proposed to the United Nations by the American & Western Bloc (AWB), which would also have constituted a sort of riposte to the Libyan coup which took place roughly one year before. This time we are seeing the ‘Syrian crisis’ take up its place in the complex web that constitutes the great crisis in the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, in Iran etc. At the beginning when it was just taking off, the Syrian crisis did not hold first place in the Great Crisis – this is no longer the case.

As the weeks and months have passed, the crisis has developed in the manner we have all witnessed, with such extreme communicative stances being taken that the American & Western Bloc’s editing and narrative has trapped it in an extremist position (i.e. the elimination of Assad as a precondition of anything whatsoever), whilst the probability of a rapid victory by the rebels – the only thing propping up this extremist stance – has gradually faded away. Meanwhile, Russia (with the unceasing support of China) has maintained a position of extreme firmness founded on the affirmation of international law (respect for sovereignty) and the presence of all parties concerned in any peace or negotiation process, which obviously includes Assad.
