Entry: The Kissinger Connection Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_kissinger_connection#1135 Post contents: Excellent, excellent article. Mr. Foy deftly ties together in one place many threads that others have highlighted, but rarely, if ever, have so concisely summarized. He hints at the real, underlying motivations of our disastrous "bipartisan" foreign policy of the last generation (at least). My own take is that the neocons work not for Israel (although they support a rabid right-wing form of Zionism), but USE Israel, and were/are not concerned primarily with oil (although enriching cronies is a secondary , but important concern). No, they work for the realization of the global "great game" of the supra-national oligarchical elite. That is, the destruction of the post-Westphalian nation-state system and the creation of a neo-feudal globalized system not beholden to the general welfare of pesky citizens of pesky republics. This means they take actions which seem confusing to anyone operating on the assumption that such actions should be in our national interests, but are not. Yes, I agree with the author that the destruction of the Iraqi nation-state WAS the main point here, not that these guys are complete geniuses and could foresee every result of their mad plan, or are happy with every outcome. The chaos has thrown a wrench into their plans, as the neocons have become outcasts. But that is the point - they conspire to end our republican form of government and any other form of government on earth (be it nominally capitalist or socialist) that has an impulse for serving the needs of its citizenry, which thereby impedes the creation of their glorious global feudal empire. There is nothing new here. It is the struggle of thousands of years of republican forces (however imperfect and disconnected) against the imperial systems of Persia, Rome, Byzantium, Venice, Great Britain, et.al. This is the continuation of the British Great Game to contain and squelch the development of Eurasian powers in the updated cloth of "Globalization". Their end-game is to destroy and loot the wealth of the great powers of the US, Russia, China, India and allied smaller nations, ala the looting of the former Soviet sector. Their new empire will fail, as all do, and someday reconstituted republican impulses will come back to the fore. But if we allow this to happen due to narrow self interest and greed, what is the cost? Billions dead, civilization raped and looted, a new dark age. The end of history, as a famous neocon once opined? No, but a useless carnage and a permanent and unforgivable stain on the soul of the human race. Sent at: 2008 05 16
