War on Terror & Washington's Greater Middle East Project

In case you did not get a chance to read the article by F. William Engdahl, explaining Washington's "New Middle East" project (and how Egypt, and now Libya fit there), here is a good, easy outline of the main points: EGYPT, IRAQ : THE USA'S GREATER MIDDLE EAST   The USA wants military and economic control  of the 'Greater Middle East'  from Morocco to Kazakhstan. Mubarak opposes the 'Greater Middle East' project. On 7 February 2011, at Voltairenet,   US analyst F. William Engdahl has written:   Egypt’s Revolution: Creative Destruction for a 'Greater Middle East’ Among the points made: 1. This is a repeat of the US-orchestrated colour revolutions that hit the former Soviet countries. The USA is using local opposition leaders coached by the NED  (National Endowment for Democracy NED) 2. The USA is trying to orchestrate regime changes in Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Jordan and beyond. 3. The process, sometimes called "creative destruction", has been developed by  the Pentagon, US intelligence agencies and  various think-tanks such as RAND  Corporation over decades. One example was the May 1968 destabilization of De Gaulle in France. 4. The broad outlines of a US strategy are clear. Egypt’s Mubarak was a major obstacle to  the larger US agenda. Mubarak was opposed to Obama policies on: A. Iran and how to deal with its nuclear program. B. Obama policies towards the Persian Gulf states,  to Syria, to Lebanon and to the Palestinians. 5. The day of the 'remarkably well-coordinated'  demonstrations against Mubarak, key members  of the Egyptian military were all in Washington  as guests of the Pentagon. That neutralized the Army. 6. The 'New Middle East' project is a strategy to break open the states from Morocco to  Afghanistan. 7. In the Egypt revolt, the people involved include: Twitter-savvy well-trained youth. Mohammed ElBaradei and other such American organizations. The Muslim Brotherhood, whose links to British and American intelligence and freemasonry are widely reported. A Facebook-based organization calling itself the April 6 Movement. The Kefaya Movement, the main force  behind ElBaradei’s candidature. 8. Kefaya is at the heart of mobilizing the  Egyptian protest demonstrations that back  ElBaradei’s candidacy. US defense establishment think-tank the RAND Corporation has conducted a detailed study of Kefaya. The Kefaya was "sponsored by the Office of the  Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Department of the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies,  and the defense Intelligence Community". 9. RAND has been perfecting techniques of  regime change under the name "swarming," the method of deploying mass mobs of  digitally-linked youth. Washington NGOs are being used to advance the Pentagon agenda of global Full Spectrum  Dominance. Egypt by Samer M 10. In May 2009 Hillary Clinton hosted Egyptian activists in Washington under the  auspices of Freedom House, another "human rights" Washington-based NGO with a long history of  involvement in US-sponsored regime change. Freedom House and US government-funded  regime change NGO, National Endowment for Democracy (NED) are at the heart of the  uprisings now sweeping across the Islamic world. 11. The USA's Greater Middle East Project aims to bring Islamic countries from Afghanistan to  Morocco under the yoke of the dollar system  and all that implies. 12. Washington’s NED  (National Endowment for Democracy NED) has been preparing regime destabilizations across  North Africa and the Middle East since the  2001-2003 US military invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The NED website lists Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Sudan. The NED is active from Tibet to Ukraine, from  Venezuela to Tunisia, from Kuwait to Morocco  in reshaping the world into a New World Order. The architect and first head of the NED, Allen  Weinstein, told the Washington Post in 1991 that,  "a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA". The NED Board of Directors includes or has included such people as Frank Carlucci and  Wesley Clark.                              Friday, February 11, 2011 Egypt by Eric Nicholas 13. The Greater Middle East is a blueprint to  extend US military control to all of the region. And to control the oil of the region. And to control the economies of the region. The G8 Map of Washington’s Greater Middle East extends right to the borders of China and Russia and West to Morocco. 14. An article in the French Le Monde  Diplomatique in April 2004 noted, "besides the Arab  countries, it covers Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan,  Turkey and Israel." 15. Notably, in 2004 there was vehement opposition from Mubarak of Egypt and from the King of Saudi Arabia. 16. The idea is to have a Greater Middle East under firm US grip as a major control of the  capital flows and energy flows of a future  China, Russia and the European Union. The Washington strategy of "creative destruction" is clearly causing sleepless nights not only in the  Islamic world but also reportedly in Tel Aviv, and ultimately by now also in Beijing and  Moscow and across Central Asia. Egyptians by upyernoz Some figures (Egypt.): 1. Between 1980 and 2007 Egypt’s  Human Development Index (HDI) rose 42%. 2.

Egypt - school bus, by coalvillestation Egypt has enjoyed economic growth averaging 4%–5% over the past 25 years. The Egyptian economy was expected to grow at 6.1% in 2010/11.  (Egypt - African Economic Outlook) "Egypt held up well during the first  round of the global financial crisis thanks to its reformed banking sector and low integration into global financial markets as a whole."

It is our policy and our reform alone that leads  us to join the policy lines of our strongest ally -politically, economically, and socially -for the  sake of a society that is free in every sense of the word ...
