Advancing the Civilized State: Inch by Bloody Inch

By William A. Cook, Ph.D.

There are those who condemn Israel’s siege of Gaza, penning
plaintive polemics against the barbaric behavior exhibited by
the IDF forces as they seal the inhabitants behind cement walls
that would be the envy of Edgar Allen Poe had he lived to see
this day. How paltry his stories appear now when placed in
opposition to the technological advancements the Israelis have
employed. Contrast the mealy mouthed weeping of the narrator
of “The Black Cat” who fulminates about the affect alcohol
produced in him as he cements his loving wife behind his wall
having struck her a savage blow with his hatchet or the vengeful
narrator of “The Cask of Amontillado” who tricks his friend
into the basement wine cellar where he is likewise entombed
behind a brick wall; contrast those childish attempts to rouse
the deepest emotions of fear in the reader with the horror our
advanced civilization has achieved by entombing 1.5 million,
in full view of the civilized western world that sits transfixed
before their television sets in envious wonder and watch the
slow calculated decimation of Palestinians achieved through
scientifically designed experiments that are used to sell the
newest technologically advanced military ordinance, state of
the art surveillance equipment, and psychologically tested
torture techniques to the highest bidder.

One can only marvel at the entrepreneurial efforts the Israeli
government takes to ensure an economic future for its nascent
companies that must compete with older industrial nations many
of whom are subsidized by socialist governments or by corporate
tax incentives. One need only recall how inferior and uncivilized
the efforts of our forebears were in dealing with the problems
associated with extermination of their enemies to recognize the
superiority of the Israeli government’s actions: mark how the
early Israelites surrounded the city of Jericho anxiously awaiting
with great trepidation G-d’s word to tear down its walls and
savage every living thing inside, women, children, ox and ass; or
how the renowned doctors of the Roman Catholic Church in its
earliest years attempted to exterminate the heretical Gnostics
who preached that Jesus did not demand allegiance to an
organized church to be saved, an obvious and blatant error since
it did not uphold the exclusivity of the chosen, and for those crimes
they were routinely burned at the stake; or how Innocent the III
created the Albigensian Crusade to exterminate the Cathar sect
from Provencal and Bosnia and Tuscany in the first decade of the
13th century lest their condemnation of the corruption of the church
be taken seriously, for which errors they, too, were burned at the
stake or tortured and made to suffer a brutal and prolonged death;
or, more recently, the efforts of the Nazi regime in the fourth decade
of the 20th century to eradicate the Jewish population, Gypsies,
and political dissidents beginning in 1938 at Kristolnacht with the
forceful takeover of businesses, expulsions, and incarceration in
ghettoes, efforts that resulted in death by disease, starvation, or
slaughter by German soldiers, a grizzly and totally unacceptable
savagery. Such were the primitive methods employed to force
compliance and eventual extermination of those questioning
the will of the state.

Fortunately, these less than civilized methodologies have
been superseded by the progressive methods enjoyed by our
democratic brethren in Israel. It will be noted that the above
cases required a frontal engagement with the offending people
putting the innocent soldiers in danger of their lives should the
citizens of Jericho fight back or the Gnostics join in an alliance
to counter the church’s move to eradicate them or the Cathars
enlist the protection of favorable Lords and Dukes. Needless to
say in all cases, the extent of the action could not be hidden from
public view since each required armies of considerable size, 50,000

peasant soldiers in the case of the Crusade, to destroy the enemy.
By contrast, Israel uses unmanned drones and computer driven
bulldozers to wage its devastation on the Palestinians, ensuring that
no Israeli soldier is put in harms way. Satellite photography serves to
record the outcomes of the drones’ effectiveness so that client states
seeking to understand the virtues of this modern method of stabilization
of errant populations can be satisfied. The same might be said of the
electronic fencing and the electrification of the 25 foot cement monoliths
that serve as the imprisoning wall. Since the soldiers are housed in
towers that oversee the people incarcerated and have available
computer monitors that scan the walls’ parameters, there is no
danger for the Israeli soldiers although they are in a commanding
position to kill at will. And it goes without saying that the modern
torture techniques, done at undisclosed locations behind closed
doors efficiently and surreptitiously, are also recorded for client
viewing. All of these methodologies improve on the older more
savage, uncivilized procedures cited above. No Israeli is placed
in a compromising position, yet the ability of the IDF to control
the populace and impose its will on a defenseless species is absolute.

Nowhere else in the world has a nation a like situation, one
so perfectly designed to provide for a world in a state of fear caused
by the rise of “terrorism,” that can be used as an experimental
playpen to record human behavior under siege whether it is elicited
by the sudden presence of the silent drones that hurl missiles into
buildings and streets purporting to assassinate a known militant,
or a trained sniper, from the security of his armored protected tower,
that kills children or women who get too close to the wall, or IDF
soldiers that serve as interrogators or torturers or observers that
record the behavior of the persons tortured. No other state is so
advanced in its design of security measures tested on a population
that has no means of fighting back except in the futile act of suicide
brought on by despair and hopelessness.

Consider, then, the bravery of the Israeli government as
it publicly promotes its siege of Gaza to an astonished world.
Heretofore, Israel had maintained a shroud of silence over its
efforts to subdue and ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their
homeland. Indeed, the world hardly noticed that it had annexed all
but 14% of the original Palestinian land since 1967, a slow, tedious
and costly process that could unravel at any moment.

Two pressing events have intervened that enabled the government
to advance its cleansing policy despite the negative sentiments expressed
by the liberal press. With the American President in his last year in office,
the desirability of cleansing Gaza of all Palestinians became evident even
though that same President had called for a peace initiative by the end of
his term. Since no one expected anyone to pay attention to the lame
duck President, now was the time to advance actions that would make
life unbearable for Palestinians and force them to leave or die. The
government assumed that Egypt could be induced to take the remnants
of the population into the Sinai and let Israel annex Gaza.

The second event ensured that little interest would be
devoted to the suffering of the Palestinians since the economic
collapse of the U.S. dollar and its reverberation throughout the world
would take priority in the press and main stream media, especially in the
U.S., England and Europe. The impending instability caused by the
recession and probable depression would require states to redouble their
efforts to control their own people through tighter security; that in turn
provides Israel with the opportunity to demonstrate to the world at
large the virtues of its unmanned drones used for surveillance and
missile attacks on unsuspecting people, the electronic monitoring of
government secured buildings, military training grounds, industrial
complexes, and prison facilities, and lastly, the scientifically researched
psychological procedures used to elicit confessions from enemy combatants,
techniques designed by government supported and funded professionals.

Consider the carefully calculated research that designed
this progressive set of procedures to avoid the pitfalls of prior
methodologies of extermination. A review of the most recent atrocity,
the Nazi regimes brutal attempt to eliminate the Jewish people from
Europe, will suffice. Two distinct failures resulted from the Nazi
experience: swiftness of execution results in observable blunders, the
most obvious of which is exposure of the methodologies to the general
public, and, secondly, to experiment with extermination without
scientifically caging the species under experiment in sealed, controlled
areas of investigation invites criticism and eventual condemnation.

Analysis of the Nazi efforts disclosed that the experiment
should not be undertaken until the species is adequately isolated and
the procedures can be appropriately monitored. To advance the
experiment by moving across borders that have not been cleansed of
foreign elements, as was the case when the SS set up the Warsaw
Ghetto in a foreign country, was doomed to failure even though
cautionary procedures were taken to ensure success like the utilization
of IDs, confinement, transportation infrastructures, sub camps and labor
camps. It should be noted that establishment of each of these measures
imposed a heavy and unnecessary economic burden on the civilized
state requiring constant monitoring. Under proper procedures, the
isolation of the experiment can result in a complete eradication of the
species without those expenditures. None of these procedures could
contain the purpose of the experiment from outside observation, indeed
most of them achieved the opposite result. However, research
established that a sealed enclosure controlled by the experimenter
would ensure that outside observation would likewise be controlled
by the experimenter. It followed as well, that swiftness of execution,
eight years in the case of Nazi Germany, forced the effort into the public
domain before the experiment could be brought to completion.

Consequently, as we observe the process utilized by the Sharon
and Olmert governments in Palestine, we note the recognized need to
erect an appropriate enclosure that seals off the intended species of
the experiment into enclaves behind 25 foot walls or electrified chain
link fences patrolled by the IDF as described above. Since it is the
experimenters that control both egress and ingress to the sealed
off experiment area, interference by outside observers is minimized
and on-going recording of behavior inside the experimental cage is ensured.

Of particular benefit to the experiment is the elimination of
accomplishing its goals in an abbreviated period of time. Swiftness
of execution is removed as a necessity since no one not engaged in
the experiment knows what is happening to the species under
examination. Indeed, by slowing down the process, more extensive
research into human behavior suffering from prolonged exposure
to loss of health – sickness, distemper, indisposition, qualms, nausea,
dyspepsia, malnutrition, seasickness, prostration, consumption,
paralysis, shock, shaking palsy, ague, famine fever, scabies, cankers,
shingles, infections, prickly heat, indigestion, loathing, aversion,
isolation, despair, and hopelessness – contributes to our scientifically
observed ailments and psychologically examined behaviors thus
providing cures for those suffering such maladies within the
dominant society responsible for carrying out the experiments, a
benefit that lifts this contemporary methodology far above the
primitive experiments itemized above.

Perhaps the most significant experiments, and no doubt
the most useful to client states, are those being developed in the
advanced areas of mind control, obedience development and
information transferal resulting from the new scientific empirical
processes developed for systemized excruciation.

Suffice it to say that the Israeli experimenters have
premised their research on the most current scientific theories,
most especially “Living Systems Theory.” Clearly, Israeli
scientists recognized that the enclosed cage provided a unique
opportunity to witness, over a prolonged period of time, the
consequences of systematic deprivation of life sustaining
subsystems that support living organisms interacting within their
environment. Living Systems Theory cites supranatural
organizations like the European Economic Community
as illustrative of the outcomes that can result by manipulation of
subsystems within complex species that depend on their
sustenance for survival.

Noting that the essence of life is process, the Israeli
experimenters have calculatingly and gradually removed the
required subsystems from the Gaza species beginning with the
elimination of electricity that maintained the flow of energy to
businesses and households thus impairing the use of refrigerators,
ovens, lights, furnaces, automobiles and sanitation systems.
Observation of the reaction by the species to this interference in
the normal process of societal operation revealed some anticipated
but also some unanticipated outcomes: for example, people
resorted to ancient and/or obsolete utilities to offset the destruction
of their infrastructure, i.e. the use of candles, kerosene, and
donkeys; health conditions deteriorated as sewage systems were
made inoperable causing outbreaks of diarrhea, dyspepsia, and
acidity; and, unexpectedly, symptoms arose that suggested an
outbreak of indisposition, distemper, and acute anger among
numerous of the species.

Having duly recorded these observations, the
experimenters interfered with a second process of the 20 needed
subsystems that sustain the living, self-organizing system that
constitutes the Palestinian community at Gaza: they sealed off all
egress and ingress from the strip forcing the complete closure of
all economic traffic that provided access to goods and services to
the people. Observation of the reaction by the species to this
interference in the normal process resulted in the following
postulates: complete obstruction of required subsystems results in
(1) a transference of the normal negative reaction of the people
to the experimenters, heretofore seen as colonialist occupiers, to
the agents of the community’s governing group since there is no
other outlet for their desperate plight; (2) the community assumes
a gradual, yet perceivable degradation of personal health as the
hospitals run out of necessary supplies to care for the sick and
injured; and (3) symptoms of frustration, hypertension, distemper,
hysteria, neuroses, delusional dreams of love, and near insanity gradually
surface and gain in intensity as the weeks pass. These outcomes of the
experiment were encouraging signs that the modifications made in the
Nazi processes of extermination would ensure positive results in time.

The last and most provocative disruption of the living system
followed, the complete severance of food supplies to the species.
Observation confirmed the anticipated consequences of this
interference, malnutrition, disease, consumption, and death by
starvation. However, one unanticipated consequence surfaced:
people broke through the barriers that sealed them into their cage.
Experimenters were forced to note that total interference with the
living system forces the species to resort to instinctive reactions like
self-survival to overcome the interference and, perhaps as importantly,
forces the experimenters to record the impact of that instinct on the
external community that could observe the desperate actions taken
by the laboratory specimens resulting in an expressed sympathy for
the victims. Conclusion: individuals, even those contained within a
controlled extermination experiment, cannot be made indifferent to
their condition and will by force, in face of personal danger or even
death, choose to fight the experimenters. Corollary: the will to
endure, in time, conquers the conqueror.

Strange how the most civilized of the world in their time
carry on experiments in extermination of their brothers and sisters,
not as conquerors, but as victims of an evil they define. Stranger
still how the most civilized find justice for their behavior in the words
of the God they created, the only real and true God, whose
beneficence to them justifies their indifference to their enemies
even as it makes sacred the theft of that enemies’ land. Yet more
strange is the sanctimonious efforts that follow their extermination and
conquest to establish, with all those who watched the butchery, a
document that testifies to the equality of all humans, a universal
declaration of human rights to ensure that it will never, never, never,
ever happen again – until more land is needed and God’s word,
newly interpreted, justifies yet another extermination of the infidel.
