Across the world the formulaic system designed to
free banking programmes from state control is in crisis. Everywhere the
political class are despised and distrusted. Everywhere the myth of government
as representational is exposed. The majority of citizens in the so-called
democracies are against the Afghan war yet each country in the pretended
‘coalition’ finds its government backing what it insists is a necessary war.
Both Iraq II and Afghanistan III have exposed the political class to disgrace.
The democratic system’s adherence to the rule that the politicians decree the
war and the soldiers do the dying is itself the profound cause of democracy’s
collapse. Cowards should not direct wars. Anyone wishing to experience nausea in
its most acute form need only listen to a politician expressing his grief and or
gratitude at the deaths of soldiers.
Just as it seemed that the British parliament could not plunge deeper into shame
along came the fragmented government of Cameron/Clegg. Optimistically wanting to
argue against anarchy one supported the Conservatives over and against the
post-Blair ruin of Labour. Anything else, it seemed, had to offer a respite from
social disintegration. Looking back, at least Labour’s foreign secretary, David
Milliband, had the courage to see Bombay as a bi-product of India’s refusal to
recognise Kashmir’s right to its own democracy. When the lone gunman left alive
at the end of the Bombay carnage was told to “Surrender or die”, he memorably
replied, “We die every day!” He meant of course, Kashmir.
Today, we have the truly tragic spectacle of a British Prime Minster turning his
back on:
1. The important segment of the British electorate that has come from Pakistan.
2. The persecuted people of Kashmir, denied the ‘sacred’ practices of democracy
and self-determination.
3. The terrible responsibility of Britain in the disastrous Partition of 1947
and the deceptions of that division.
Let us observe the flight path of the British Prime Minister in what may prove
to have been a more fatal one than that of Chamberlain from London to Munich.
Cameron flew from Washington to Delhi and returned waving a piece of paper,
declaring, “Contracts in our time!”
Treachery was piled on ignorance. Treachery to the large Muslim population of
Britain. Ignorance of the true state of India whose millions live in abject
poverty while a tiny oligarchic minority hold the country’s wealth, and its army
practises genocide on hill tribes by the simple pretext of calling them maoist
in order to strip the hills of mineral wealth.
The Cameron’s journey first stop was Washington, where, to the horror of patriot
Britons, he announced that Britain was a junior partner of the U.S.A. Cameron
has declared Britain is Lolita to the U.S. Humbert Humbert. He left America
under marching orders from his paedophilic master.
In Turkey he suddenly said he supported Turkey’s entry into Europe - a
meaningless concept while the pound itself is not in Europe. Britain and Europe
are in irrevocable decline. Turkey is the second country after China in terms of
wealth expansion. No mention of Turkey’s historical claim to Cyprus or of
Greece’s bankruptcy. Did he not know that Turks look on Pakistan and Afghans as
brothers? After grovelling about in Ankara he headed for Delhi. In Turkey, a
most sophisticated business community, it would be folly to invest West when all
wealth and future lies East.
The pronouncement of Cameron in Delhi was truly a major blunder. The High
Commissioner for Pakistan in London called it unfortunate and blamed his
inexperience, although that meant ignorance. If his coat was American, he might
at least have removed the price tag.
In the midst of his debacle the leakage of documents on Afghanistan seemed
clearly a desperate ploy to get the American masses turned loose as they were in
the final stages of the Vietnam war. The attacks inside the documents are dis-information,
slandering and denouncing important Pakistani figures whom they fear.
It is time to insist on British withdrawal from Afghanistan. This should be
accompanied by a rising call from the anti-war movement and the families of dead
soldiers insisting that Ministers join the army and go to the front line. There
is nothing, absolutely nothing to be gained for Britain in this war, led by the
country with the deepest hatred for Britain in its history, the U.S.A.
A final medical note on the political leaders. Have you observed how sick they
look? Cameron puffed up — is it drink or tranquillisers? Clinton’s face is a
mask — is she on cortisone? Sarkozy’s twitching — is his sub-epileptic condition
worsening? Be of good cheer. It won’t be long now. When Allah wills it — and our
trust is in Him.
Aamin.
