Wednesday, April 22, 2015

I heard a new term today on public radio which is not public radio of course
but we all know that.  It described the situation in Yemen as getting worse
with the presence of al Qaeda and "extremist rebels".  Who are the these new
guys, the  "Extremists rebels" I asked myself? Now, the term rebels and
extremist are not usually used together in the highly controlled US media.
The bad guys are either "Islamic extremists" or "Islamic terrorists",
"Insurgents" "Militants" but "rebels" is usually reserved for good guys. The
guys the US support in Syria are called "rebels" minus the extremist label. 

 

But now we have "extremist rebels". Could this be because the "extremist
rebels" they are referring to are the Houthis and the Houthis are Shia
somewhat close to Iran? This presents the warmongers at the Pentagon with a
dilemma?

So far the US flunkies in the region, the Saudi thugs, bombed Yemen but they
were killing too many civilians and doing too much structural damage to this
nation and people and they were turning against them and supporting the
Houthis.

 

The US and UN had the Saudi's stop while the US and western media gets
things straight.  The US is fighting alongside Iran against the Pentagon's
old friends ISIS so it looks bad them blowing up ally's of Iran in Yemen.
The new enemy, along with al Qaeda, are the "extremist rebels", not Houthis,
Houthis just doesn't have the same ring to it and most Americans aren't very
up on foreign issues anyway. that's a good way of spinning it.

 

What a mess US imperialism has made of the region.  The "extremists" we all
need to be worried about are in the Pentagon and Washington.  The damage
these extremists have wreaked on the globe the last 25 years, the human
suffering and loss of life, the destruction of whole societies, far exceeds
anything the paltry Taleban, Bin Laden or any other force has managed so
far.

 

Remember after the collapse of the Soviet Union when we were all celebrating
getting our share of the "peace dividend";  money for education, roads,
housing etc.  How could anyone have believed that?  Peace is not possible
under capitalism, in a world of competing nations states, and it's  not
profitable.

 

Keep your noses to the grindstone fellow Americans, there's more belt
tightening to come until that point where we get rid the unelected clique
that runs the country and the system they propagate.
