As Predicted, Pentagon Turns to GCC to Retain Hold on Gulf
In a series of articles, we’ve discussed what seems to us to be a Pentagon/NATO plan to divide the Middle East up into warring factions. This plan is being staged in two parts. First, numerous secular states such as Libya, the Ivory Coast, Egypt, Iraq, Tunisia and now Syria are being destabilized to create an Islamic “crescent” that will serve as a putative enemy of the West. The second, or concomitant phase is to strengthen and expand the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and then to create tension or even military action between these two factions. Additional tensions are being brought to bear via Israel, Iran and, of course, the Palestinians.
…stage two of this apparent plan is now being put into effect. The Islamic crescent is well on its way to being realized with Muammar Gaddafi’s death and the triumph of the Libyan/al Qaeda Jihadists. In Tunisia, an Islamic party has begun to carve out a role as the country’s leading political force. The Islamic Brotherhood (with its CIA connections) is ascendant in Egypt and growing in popularity elsewhere.
Now what is needed is to strengthen the GCC? Of course, there must be a reason to do so, and the ejection of the US from Iraq has just provided the Pentagon with an appropriate justification. “Security needs” will funnel arms and funds to the GCC, which is currently – coincidentally – being expanded to include Jordon and Morocco. The US’s and NATO’s influence is about to become vastly larger in the Middle East and Northern Africa.
All this is so much blather, of course, or seems to be anyway. Two things are going on in our view. First, the Anglosphere power elite needs military tension and maybe even a large regional war to distract increasingly furious Western middle classes from increasingly depressed economies.
Second, in an era of reduced military resources, the best way to retain control of regions and countries is via the old strategy of divide and conquer. This seems to us what’s going on in the Middle East currently and it’s too bad the mainstream media – let alone the ‘Net alternative media – won’t cover it.
Let others explain that the world’s problems are caused by greedy capitalist corporations eager to exploit developing countries. For us, that’s just a façade, a meme floated by the elites to obscure the reality of an ongoing conquest and consolidation.
