It's about the War, Stupid!
All of the people in this country especially those in the blogosphere venting about how to deal with the illegal immigration problem should try thinking about this:Why has this become such a blazing issue in American politics? I don't mean the numbers, the costs, the drugs or the crime. I mean: Why did this precise issue arise at this precise time? The problem with the border has existed for many years and although serious, is nowhere near as serious as our prosecution of the War on Islamofascism. And yes, I know there is a danger that terrorists could slip across the border but that danger pales in comparison with the danger that Iran will develop nuclear weapons and use them or that North Korea has them. We need to prioritize our battles and realize who and what our enemies are. The current crisis has been orchestrated by the ANSWER communists who still undoubtedly take their marching orders from Moscow. Their demonstration's objective was not to promote immigrant rights, but rather to serve as a lightening rod to inflame passions among those who have been arguing that border security was non-existent for years. The president has been notoriously hesitant to do anything to strengthen the borders (granted that he has been preoccupied) and this issue more than any other would serve to divide the conservative and leftist branches of the political party in power. As a chess player I have to grant that it was a masterful stroke. Divide and conquer. Sow fear, uncertainty and doubt into the American political mixture and hope for a backlash in November. Why, you may ask, would anyone want to do this? Heh, let me state the reasons. If you were Vladimir Putin, or the Central Committe of the Communist Party of China, what would you like to see the world look like in 10, 20, 50 years? Would you like to see it dominated by the United States economically and militarily? I think not. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The United States is currently the preeminent military and economic powerhouse in the world. It is too strong for either of those players to take on by themselves, but it is not invincible or omnipotent. They need it to be weakened so that in the future they will have the opportunity to dominate global resources in their own interests. This leaves them the dilemna of choosing between confronting the US now or hoping that it will be less formidable in the future. Since confrontation now would be counter productive and reveal their future designs they need to find a way to weaken us without appearing to be directly involved. The classic way to achieve this is through the use of proxies. In the old days they would have used 'liberation' movements and guerilla warfare to attempt to wear us down. Today, needing to be more discrete to keep capital flowing into their countries, they will use states and ideologies with ingrained hostility to the US as their proxies. Let us not forget that the axis of evil included Iran and North Korea, both of which fit the bill for the type of proxy that would be required. Their support for these proxies will need to be covert, no outright statements of support. Their actions will be diplomatic or 'economic' as in selling advanced air defence systems, nuclear reactors, oil and food. The impending crisis of American action against Iran was first reacted to by the "Cartoon Crisis" which was an attempt by the Islamofascists of several stripes to cow the peoples of Europe. It was only partially successful and, in fact, may have appeared to backfire in some respects as the Europeans began to wake up and realize the extent of the enemy infiltration in their midst. But Europe was ever only a secondary concern. The real problem from their viewpoint was the US and the growing American resolve to act regardless of the support of others. Iran doesn't have enough people at its beck and call who have sufficient US experience and contacts to identify a potential weak point in the American political world and apply masterful pressure to make that point explode into a turmoil of acrimony and divisiveness. Even the chinese don't have the ability. Only one nation has the necessary knowledge, means, opportunity and motive. That nation is Russia. Their analysts have been studying the US for over 50 years and have kept current on every trend in American politics. It would be childs play for them to come up with a short list of triggers that could disrupt the American political process. They still have their agents in the US and the west who can be counted upon to support any cause that is detrimental to the United States. Look at who the anti globalization forces and now the Reconquista movement are being led by. ANSWER has always been a communist front organization and remains so today. Now, you may ask, why would Russia and China be interested in an Islamofascist victory over the United States? The answer is they are not. They fully know that the US will most likely prevail in this war, in fact they are counting on it. They have their own problems with Islamofascists which they will deal with brutally once an American victory is imminent. The object is to make that American victory as costly as possible. To do that they must forestall American action to allow their proxies time to prepare. There is little doubt that the administration is aware of this and events certainly appear to support the premise of growing US-Russian hostility. Take for example Vice President Cheney's remarks in Lithuania two weeks ago and the reaction of Sergey Lavrov the Russian Foreign Minister at a dinner with Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. If I am correct in my expectations, the next stumbling block in this war will be the announcement of a mutual defense pact between Iran, Syria and North Korea which will raise the spectre of a nuclear war if we attempt the elimination of Iran's nuclear production capabilities. I suspect that may have already secretly occured, we already know that there are realtionships between these countries. That could be the reason why the steam went out of the impetus earlier this year to intervene and why great emphasis has been accorded to ballistic missile defence in both the US and Japan. This war is not just about Islamofascism, although that was the opening blow, and it is not about to end quickly or neatly for us or for anyone else. Like all wars it will spiral out of control and consume those who thought they were immune from its reach. So wake up and start paying attention or we will be consumed in the fires. May God Bless the United States of America. Posted by: DanNY 2006-05-19 |
