Mugabe - The Least of The Dictators

In a recent interview on
French television, the most renowned defence lawyer and jurisprudent of our
time, Maitre Vergès, emphatically denounced the ease with which democratic
Western intellectuals accuse third world and poor countries of human rights
abuses. He insisted that the democratic States today are more guilty of human
rights violations than any State in the rest of the world. Democracy has become
the licence to void a people of those civic freedoms it once boasted it existed
to defend.
The question thinking people
must ask today is this: why do the leaders of the wealth-regime, the G8,
denouncing Mugabe in Zimbabwe – who, admittedly, may be degenerating into a
terminal psychopathic condition – continue not just passively but overtly and
didactically to support the democratically engineered dictatorships of
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan?
KAZAKHSTAN – President
Nazarbayev
He had the Constitution
changed to make him President for life. His daughter, Dariga, had been set
up to follow her father. However, his son-in-law, Aliyev, is presenting such
a challenge that a warrant has been issued for his arrest. One third of
investment is from the USA, the President’s act of renouncing nuclear
weapons was seen as a bid for membership of the money-system’s inner circle.
In Washington he was proposed for the Nobel Peace Prize. Bush congratulated
him on his work “to defeat extremism”. There is a strong State-led
initiative to eliminate Islam in favour of an ancient individualist buddhism.
This is a phenomenon that may be observed through the four ‘‑stans’ we are
examining. Less repressive than the other ‘‑stans’, it has nevertheless
forged the new model of a totalitarian State with a verifiable framework of
democratic politics.
KYRGYZSTAN – President
Kurmanbek Akayev
In October 2007, a day
after a rigged Referendum which gave permanence to the institution of
Presidency, Akayev dissolved Parliament. This was a ploy which led to King
Charles I of Britain and Louis XVI of France being beheaded. However, in
Republican democracies it is simply a career-move.
The election-monitoring
organisation Taza Shailoo fielded 750 observers across the country. It
concluded: “One can’t say this was a free and fair vote, due to
ballot-stuffing and other flagrant, obvious and systematic legal
violations.” The Akayev regime claimed an 80% turn-out. The monitors
estimated a 40-45% turn-out, which would have invalidated the Referendum.
In 2008, the President
signed a Media Bill granting the President the right to appoint the
Executive Director of the State-run TV and radio, KTR.
TURKMENISTAN
Following the blessed
death of super-democratic President Niyazov, whose ambition to be a new
version of the Moghul Emperor Akbar in his last mad phase was more than
realised, the new President Berdy Mukhamadov, in what was called a pro-forma
election, took absolute power. Freedom of movement is strictly controlled,
indeed fundamentally forbidden. De facto permission is needed to leave the
country, even – and especially – on medical grounds.
The macabre, surrealist
artefact, the Ruhnama, a book supposedly written by the mad Niyazov, is
still taught in schools and universities, replacing the Qur’an throughout
Turkmenistan.
The normal cost of using
the Internet is prison. Satellite dishes are now banned in the capital. The
prisons are crammed with suspect citizens, without charge or trial. Torture
is commonplace, and in Stalinist style, citizens pass through a prison-phase
to test their obedience and loyalty.
Precisely defined,
Turkmenistan is a democratic State, sustained by universal franchise and
party government in the hands of a puppet President replacing the defunct
and “democratic” dictator whose laws, still in place, are more rigid and
inhibiting than the Soviet system in the fifties. One typical law from
Niyazov, still in force: It is forbidden for medics to diagnose or inform
patients of life-threatening illnesses, like cancer and tuberculosis, and
they must be prescribed other, inappropriate medicines, plus pain-killers.
This is to avoid causing depression among the masses!
UZBEKISTAN – ‘Islam’
Karimov
Karimov, an apparatchik of
Stalinism, has simply kept alive many aspects of the Soviet past. His
persecution of Islam, even in its most traditional and scholarly forms, has
led to an oppression and degradation of his own people in every walk of
life.
In 1991 – Karimov was appointed
President.
In 1995 – He extended his Presidential
term by a rigged Referendum.
In 2000 – He got himself re-elected.
In 2004 – He held parliamentary
elections, but opposition parties were banned.
In 2005 – In the city of Andijan he
ordered the massacre of several hundred citizens. He blamed the universally
blameable Islamic extremists, but it was clear he was simply crushing his
own populace. When the British Ambassador denounced the mass killings, Blair
simply withdrew him from his post.
In 2006 – Sanjar Umarov, the Opposition
leader, was jailed for 11 years, international pressure managed to see this
reduced to 8 years.
Thousands of ordinary
citizens are in jail. The media is uniquely pro-regime. Karimov’s daughter,
Gulnara Karimova, is Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Uzbekistan,
studies hinduism, and is a pop-star. She is an Asiatic Paris Hilton, but her
aim is the Presidency.
It should also be noticed than
in these Asian republics, the final cynicism of democratic government is openly
revealed. In each one of them a relative seeks or struggles to establish
dynastic continuity. So it is that a kind of inverted monarchism has become the
mark of our age. Dynastic monarchy was founded on serious genealogical
principles by which legitimacy, child-training, and political marriage assured
the continuity of the dynasty and the expansion of the governed territory. Today
the numbers system, a lottery of numerical chance, from within a stable of
competitors whose common factor is their ideological correctness, lets the
masses choose from among that scum of the earth that raises itself only by the
force of political ambition. Assad of Syria has led to Bashir Assad in the
Presidency. The ageing Mubarak has already prepared for his son to inherit
Egypt. George Bush Senior led to the dismal George Bush Junior. The structured
monarchism of the Kennedies was only eliminated by assassination and scandal.
The Bhuttos after Zulfiqar saw power pass to the daughter, who in turn murdered
her brother. Now her son has dumped his father’s name to take on legally his
mother’s.
Yet this statal insanity which
democracy produces is not an infection reserved for the Orient. The British
Government, under its near-blind Prime Minister, of no known national
investiture, continues a sure path to anarchy, blithely enacting that purge of
civic rights legislation initiated by Blair.
The British Foreign Secretary
is utterly incapable of behaving, let alone acting, like the voice of a great
nation’s foreign policy. His capacities would be stretched if appointed floor
manager of Marks & Spencer’s. The British Home Secretary would never be promoted
beyond the typing pool of any reliable Corporation. The superb spokeswoman of
the Police Federation expressed the dismay of all her members at having to deal
with such a level of incompetence in a government minister. Beneath the
justified discontent about police pay there lies a hidden and unspoken concern
among our police force. During the Blair regime, funds were leached from, and
finally blocked from, the National police force and its framework. They became
seconded to a vastly inflated Security apparatus which was then empowered by
massive funding.
Thus it was that while a
hidden army went searching for an openly declared 10,000 known terrorist
suspects, the streets of Britain, unprotected by an impoverished and embittered
police force, began to decline rapidly into anarchy. While the Security services
were reduced to making unsubstantiated arrests, loudly announced only later to
be discreetly released, and perhaps even forced to stage set-up cells guided by
“agents provocateurs” – the knife became the weapon of choice of the socially
dispossessed and alienated. A west-indian christian youth terrorism emerged
which then spread out to a lost white middle-class generation.
With 14,000 knife victims
admitted to hospital within the last year and 34 people a day taken to hospital
with stab wounds, now at the beginning of summer there is almost a murder every
day.
Knife amnesties, parent fines,
more ghastly social workers – none of these tricks will change the situation.
The cutting-back of secret-service funding, and a government order to them to
re-direct their services to Chinese industrial sabotage and the Camorra’s
infiltration of the imported goods market, as well as Russian industrial
espionage – all that is necessary. Alongside this we have the right to expect
recognition of the British Muslim Community’s stabilising effect on civic
society, and its significant financial presence in business affairs.
A General Election with an
accomplished young team under a man of moral conviction and clear thinking now
blessedly free of his rogue dinosaur David Davis, may grant the country a time
of peace and expansion, once the lawless NATO force is voided of its British
cannon-fodder, in that struggle which has nothing, absolutely nothing of benefit
for our nation. A Cameron government at home, and peace abroad, may rescue
Britain from its current rapid decline into civic anarchy. And as the once noble
Anglican Church crumbles into Americanism, leaving behind its Henrician
foundation, (which was, “the theology is not the issue, but the upholding of the
National State”), at the same time Britain can open to a new society whose
vitality and renewal will come from its Muslim core, as it once was revived by
Normans, and before that, by Viking Danes. This is our Du‘a for a future of
growth.
