The Insane (Majnoon) New Neoconservatives

To Create a Safe World They Would Destroy Nations

When you boil down the Wolfowitz Plan for the U.S. to minimize the evil among the world’s nations, his doctrine is as simple as it is diabolical. But before we lay out what I see, as it’s basic simple tenets, I will attempt to capture the characteristics which drive this man who sells himself as an angel of light, by using a series of simple sentences combined with a few longer observations.

He is Brilliant. He is Stupid.

He is a Leader. He is a Risk Taker.

He is the Republican Deputy Secretary of Defense.

He leads a small band of men who have convinced themselves that they are the only ones who have discovered truth.

He is Donald Rumsfield’s Assistant

He is Paul WOLFowitz.

According to the C.S. Monitor, the important office charged with The Reconstruction of Iraq is staffed with Americans known by the condescending term of “Wolfie People.”If he allows adult professionals to be treated in such a humiliating may, consider this: What example does this set for how Wolfie’s people treat Arab leaders and professionals who they already consider to be inferior to Americans?

What I derive from his name is a microcosm of what he appears to be. His wits are those of a hungry wolf waiting to attack, to kill and to devour.

In describing this cunning human being’s basic platform, I will attempt to use simple language. This is not to talk down to the readers. Rather, I hope that this non-technical, basic language will more vividly expose the diabolical ability of his new neoconservatism to deceive.

Ten Basic Tenets of Neoconservatism in the U.S.

1.   Every day our world is becoming a more dangerous place for good people to be able to live in safety.

2. Every day it is becoming easier for bad people to do bad things to good people.

3.If the ALMIGHTY were to find a nation more powerful than every other nation composed of only good leaders who were courageous enough to kill or imprison enough bad people, the good people of the U.S. would not be killed so often.

4.Certain good Republican leaders of the U.S. are the good people who the ALMIGHTY has appointed to find the right bad people who need to be killed or imprisoned.

5.These certain good Republican leaders are the only ones on this earth who truly know what is in the best interest of everyone in the entire world.

6.Because these good Republican leaders will never abuse the power the ALMIGHTY (Providence) has given them, they must realize they should not allow world organizations such as the U.N. to ever discourage them from doing what they know is right.This remains true no matter how many innocent people they may kill while making the world a safer place.

7.In order for America to continue to make the world safe, the U.S. must stay stronger than every other nation.So all voting Americans must continue to vote for certain Republican national leaders who will keep the U.S. strong militarily and who will diligently and systematically enforce this vision of killing or controlling all who the U.S. Administration decides are the bad people and the bad nations.

8.Of course, in enforcing this vision, some mistakes will be made and some good foreign people may even be killed by good American people or even by Bad American people. But it is safer for everyone if good American leaders sometimes assume good foreigners are actually bad foreigners and kill them by mistake, because dead people cannot do bad things whether the dead people are good or bad.

9. So it is okay for American leaders to guess whether certain people are going to do bad things and to kill them before they get a chance to do the bad things.It is necessary to kill these foreign people who may do bad things because they are less valuable than either Americans or Israelis. So it is much better for the foreigners to be dead even though they may be doing good and actually have no plans to do bad, than it is to risk good Americans or good Israelis being killed.

10.   Of course there will be certain people of all religions throughout the world who will be convinced that there are diabolical problems with this reasoning. So these persons will be certain that the ALMIGHTY and Humanity wants them to resist this simple solution to the complex problem of evil in the world.Therefore, it will be necessary to profile these people who will be classified as terrorists and kill and imprison as many of them as we can, as quickly as possible.

Please Critique This Analysis

It would be interesting to have Dr. WOLFowitz or one of his follower’s critique what may be flawed in my analysis of the new Neoconservatism.However, at least temporarily the U.S. has won the War with Iraq. Therefore, because of our decision to have acted pre-emptively, the people of the U.S. are temporarily intoxicated with how easy it is to supposedly change a bad nation into a good nation. Consequently, since for now we are the most powerful nation on earth, it will be temporarily impossible to discipline the U.S. for breaking International law for invading Iraq without a legal and just reason.Consequently, the relatively small nations of the Middle East have even more reason to live in fear of the U.S. imposing its will upon these nations.

The Risen Messiah predicted that “there will always be wars and rumors of wars.” This is a reality because there are checks and balances in the world and partially good and partially evil clashing against partially evil and partially good.But Paul Wolfowitz endorses using American Economic and Military superiority to be the main check against all of the world’s balances.Instead of normal checks and balances, it will now be his Ideas, his Power and his People controlling the entire Global Community but especially the oil rich Middle East.

In contrast, Saddam Hussein's desire to control was much more regional.

Please think about this: which of these men do you think was or is the most serious threat to the long-range stability of the existing global community?

Who Had or Has The Most Evil Potential?

Vladimir Illyich Lennin, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Ariel Sharon or Paul Wolfowitz?

So now all of our eyes will be upon how ALLAH will deal with the U.S. considering the additional arrogance than it now has under Paul Wolfowitz’s careful guidance. But we will also be watching the U.S. to see if perhaps our nation can repent from our extreme arrogance before it is too late. So we each yearn to see how ALLAH will interfere with U.S. intentions to control and reshape the Middle East through Paul WOLFowitz’s sinister Neoconservatism.

I personally find it immoral that smug wealthy ideologues such as Paul WOLFowitz sit around agreeing how they have a unique calling by the ALMIGHTY, whom they often refer to as Providence, to kill and control foreign people.But while they are so certain that they have been destined to make our world a safer place, the foundation they build upon is to teach both male and female American young adults to hate and kill.

Hate and Kill

Here in Seattle, shortly after the beginning of the Iraq War, there were sympathetic articles in both local newspapers, the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, about the same young man.He was a brilliant and sensitive recent high school graduate from a predominately Native American heritage.His test scores were so high that he had enquiries from the prestigious University of Chicago about a potential scholarship.However, after becoming disillusioned with his studies at a California college, he was encouraged by a military recruiter to join the service to learn a skill and receive benefits toward his future education.

Nothing was mentioned in his recruitment about killing.So in his inexperience he did not realize that killing could be an essential part of his military responsibilities.In his initial military training he was quickly introduced to a new reality for which he was psychologically unprepared.While the new recruits marched, they were taught to shout out together in unison. Kill! Kill!Kill!… Consequently, he realized that he had made a grave error by joining the military. Therefore, he refused to go to Iraq for which he may go to prison, or at least be scarred for life by receiving a dishonorable discharge.

The following is another example of the American kill mentality with which we shamefully brainwash even our young women recruits. During the Salt Lake City Olympics, I was flipping through the different T.V. channels wanting to view a particular athletic event. Since I had been watching the Olympics which usually reveals sportsmanship between nations, I was especially shocked by what caught my attention on one of the channels.

The film was sort of a combination documentary – expose¢ of what occurs at an actual women’s training camp for new military recruits. At the end of the film which exposed many scenes of how the young women’s personalities were being systematically broken down by exceptionally aggressive drillmasters, the final scene was the most shocking. The young women were shown proudly marching together with their rifles on their shoulders. As they marched, in perfect rhythm they chanted over and over and over:

Our Future Mothers

“I want to go to Iran! I want to kill an Iranian! I want to go to Iran!I want to kill an Iranian!I want to go to Iran!I want to kill… Shockingly, this is what these future mothers of children are being taught by the U.S. government.

In contrast to the kill an Iranian brain washing the various institutions of my peace loving government encourages, I experienced just the opposite when I was recently interviewed on the telephone from Iran to be broadcast on the Iranian New Year. This English Radio Station had received a letter about my website.Significantly, though it had been my country which had labeled their country as part of an “evil empire,” not one question the Iranian Interviewer asked me attempted to have me express anything negative about the United States. His warm and friendly reaching out to me was a powerful contrast to the fact that future young mothers in the “peaceful U.S.” are taught to yearn for the day they can have the privilege of killing Iranians.

I ask you, what nation does ALLAH truly consider to be an “evil empire”?

In view of the mentality to kill that we work so hard to teach our future mothers and fathers, I am shocked at the self-righteousness and audacity of the following statement.

“By our easy victory in Iraq, the Bush Administration has served notice that America will no longer tolerate despotism in the Middle East.”

I heard this statement on Seattle KIRO radio on April 10, the day after our so-called “victory over Iraq.” If we truly do not want despots in the Middle East, then we ourselves had better stay out of the Middle East. Why?   Because there are so many ways that we are the very despots that we claim that we don’t want in the Middle East. Of course it is okay if we are despotic because we are democratic despots, while we claim that Middle Easterners are autocratic despots.

I am personally saddened that many courageous American, British, and Australian young men and women military persons who have courageously served their countries in Iraq, are exceptionally worried.They are concerned that when they return to their countries, they will be resented by their fellow citizens for killing innocent Iraqis in an unjust war.

It is truly horrible that both innocent Iraqi civilians and innocent Iraqi military personal were killed due to a lack of effective diplomacy.But it is also tragic that innocent Brits and innocent Americans were killed while they were in Iraq in order to enforce a Bush mandated regime change. But in no way do I think the lower rank of military people on either side are to be blamed for this illegal action by the U.S. Government.There were many acts of courage on both sides and to blame the lower ranks for following the orders of their manipulative and deceptive superiors is truly misplaced blame.

Still, there is sufficient blame to go around.The U.S. must be blamed for heavily arming Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war in order to serve U.S. interests.The U.S. must also be blamed for constantly enabling Israelis to practice blatant injustice against Palestinians.Perpetrators of terror must be blamed whether they are those who organize suicide bombers or high ranking persons who give orders to drop bombs or fire missiles form airplanes.Believers in tactics of terror to solve problems must be blamed for manipulating others to turn their airplanes into missiles and kill multiple innocent civilians. Whether the U.S. armed a certain repressive dictator or not, that repressive dictator and his henchmen stand guilty before ALLAH for the tremendous death and suffering they willfully brought to Iraqis.For in Saddam Hussein’s attempt to create a nation out of many hostile, competing factions, his methods were cruel and immoral and caused thousands of innocents to suffer and die.  

A few minutes after I had finished my paper exposing the naked emperor George W. Bush for openly expressing his willingness to F___ Saddam as well as to F___ the restraints of civilization, I received a phone call form a long time friend. This person has immense experience in working closely with hundreds of clients as a psychotherapeutic counselor. As I briefly described the content of my paper, being an experienced counselor, he sincerely attempted to confirm the validity of the feelings he thought were behind the words I was saying. So more than once he said, “I can understand your anger.”

When our fairly brief conversation was ended, I realized that my experienced friend had misread my feelings.

At one time I may have been very angry at George W. Bush.If I were now a Middle Easterner I know that my feeling would be rage. But at this point I neither think or feel it is constructive for me to be angry at a person who I believe is living under a type of possibly demon inspired deception. For this leader of our nation, to have fallen for the lie that the world can be made safer by killing, manipulating, coercing and more killing, is actually beyond insanity.But this sick belief is also understandable and explainable. The horrible trauma our nation experienced as a result of 9/11 has created a violent desperation.The simple answer that leaders such as Bush grasp at, is “kill and control.” But the simplistic, hysterical approach of this administration to see killing and coercion as the main answer to complex international problems leaves him as a man to be pitied more than as a man to be hated.But, for the sake of the global community, he definitely is a man who must be removed from power by impeachment, or by the voters who have many Arabs among them.

The evil this President has manipulated the majority of Americans to accept, gives me an exceptionally deep concern, if not a feeling of dread concerning the future of the U.S. and for the future of the entire world.To see the most militarized nation of the world endure such simplistic leaders causes me to have a similar feeling as to what I would have if I observed the following desperate situation:

A Little Boy With a Loaded Weapon

Picture yourself in the middle of a room full of fifty, joyful five-year-olds. Suddenly one of the little boys pulls a loaded automatic weapon out of his backpack.Because he thinks that it is a toy, he waves it around pointing this loaded gun at his classmates with his finger on the trigger.

I ask you, would it be helpful or constructive if you became very angry at this immature child with a loaded gun?Or, would this be the time for you to be extra calm.Then with a clear mind and a single purpose you would try to keep all of the children safe by the most effective method that ALLAH would help you to think of. But you would need to develop some kind of effective plan along with help from ALALH in order to avoid a horrendous tragedy.

This is how I feel about preventing the U.S. from causing further international tragedies. Now is not the time to indulge in the luxury of being angry at Bush and his partners in crime. They have their collective fingers on the trigger of a massive, massive, massive amount of weapons. So with ALLAH’s help, we must replace a violence and terror mentality or a nervous ringing of our hands, with sincere, fervent prayer and a purposeful plan.

My mind, both day and night, returns to the question of what can be done to either disarm or neutralize this temporarily insane, very powerful, small circle of committed men. This small, core group of neoconservative “Pre-Emptivists” reminds me of what I was taught in a college Russian History course by long time Russian History specialist, Professor Donald Treadgold.There was one negative reality that he emphasized again and again.

One very small core group of self-righteous committed Bolsheviks were able to suddenly take over all of Russia by practicing ruthless deception. In 1917 this small group of committed deceivers manipulated a whole nation and later nearly half the world to fall under the mostly evil spell of communism.Oh how this demonstrated how important it is to expose the WOLFowitz, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield evil alliance before it become too powerful to stop without expansive, destructive violence.Bush and Tony Blair have constantly emphasized how it was so wrong for Neville Chamberlan to appease Hitler.But it is equally dangerous for the world to appease the fearsome four which I have just listed.

A tremendous disadvantage that the Bolsheviks had that the WOLFowitz core group does not need to be concerned with is that the Communists had no economic or military power base to start from.Yet, they conquered nearly half the world. With the economic power base and the giant military industrial complex that the WOLFowitz small gang already has, their potential to bring their own interpretation of how to achieve good in the world, should cause severe shivers to go up and down all of our spines.

Five Weapons of Mass RECONSTRUCTION

I personally have five weapons to use against this obvious threat to the whole Mid East community

  1. There are my pens and large quantities of ink.
  2. I am blessed with a slow mind which leaves me dependent on ALLAH’s Spirit and drives me to listen, read, think and ask questions.
  3. My most powerful weapon is believing prayer through the authority of ALLAH’s Risen Messiah who He raised up to be in His own eternal and majestic presence.
  4. A few faithful friends have assured me that they will support my feeble efforts with consistent prayer through the Authority He has awarded the Messiah He raised to Himself.
  5. Finally, I have the spiritual weapon of constant encouragement from ALLAH by knowing that the spiritual presence of His Risen Messiah is with me every moment of everyday.

As I personally struggle against what I sense is a diabolical movement, I have great sympathy for both the people and the leaders of the Middle East. The people have justification to be enraged at the arrogance and callousness of what certainly appears to be insane, power hungry American leaders.This tragic circumstance leaves certain Mid East leaders caught in a dreadful trap. If certain leaders take the side of their enraged people, the U.S. has already demonstrated through its crushing of Iraq, that it is willing to recognize instability as a strategic threat to U.S. interests.So it may very well decide to take pre-emptive action.In George W. Bush’s language, that means:

“F____ them! We’re taking the regime out!” (See Time Magazine, March 31, 2003 – Article – “First Stop, Iraq) Then the U.S. will occupy their nation and manipulate an American approved leadership into power.

On the opposite side of the coin, if the leaders don’t show the people that they are sensitive to their rage, it will be the people who take the leaders out.   Then the U.S. will also be provided an excuse to intervene to restore order.So Americans in either case will also occupy their nation and bring about the same dreaded outcome. To protect American interests, they will attempt to establish American approved leadership.

The leaders of oil countries cannot use oil as a weapon because that could lead to international economic chaos and also provide an excuse for the intervention of the American Military Machine.

So, the more I think about the dreadful and complicated situation facing especially the Middle East, the more I am convinced of two things.

1.   No kind of terror will bring any long-range solution.This includes any terror against Israeli, Arab, or American leaders. Any kind of terror mentality against anyone will be counter-productive and create either anarchy or oppression.

2.   Any permanent solution to deal with the prevailing threat of U.S. hegemony, the solution must have a major spiritual component.So I am absolutely convinced that there must be a paradigm shift in the thinking of many influential Muslims and in the thinking of less influential Muslims. This new paradigm shift must also involve two main components.

1.   The Risen Messiah who is revealed in the pages of the Holy Quran and the Injeel must be embraced for his guidance and leadership in a much different way than present U.S. political leaders pretend to understand him and the way that current Muslim leaders pretend to understand him.

2.   A new spirit of prayer must prevail which will include a massive crying out in desperate petitions to ALLAH. Multitudes must plead for Him to provide help and insight in defeating U.S. coercion, manipulation and exploitation. Whatever device the U.S. uses to exercise coercion, manipulation and exploitation must be defeated by ALLAH through the leadership of His servants and through ALLAH’s unique ability to shape circumstances.Yes, ALLAH and circumstances are making it clear that NOW is the time for such a massive Spiritual Revolution in the Muslim Middle East so that this revolution will cause everyone’s flesh to tingle and everyone’s heart to rejoice.

To help us help this to happen, we should consider the shocking message of two New Testament verses written twenty centuries ago to people living in Ephesus. This insightful exposure of evil, even among leaders who may wear ties, should motivate each of us to use our spiritual weapon of prayer to bring about the necessary revolution against rapidly encroaching evil.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not of man, but mighty through ALLAH to pull down spiritual strongholds.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Two Sinister Appointments

Would you call this ironic or sinister?Paul Wolfowitz for years used his considerable influence to try to convince U.S. leaders to conduct a war against Iraq.So, to whom does the U.S. President turn, to be the person who would pick the Coordinator of the Occupation of Iraq and to Supervise the repair of the devastation the Wolfowitz war caused.You guessed it.The orchestrator of the war, himself, Paul Wolfowitz was appointed to choose the man to put back together what he himself had manipulated the U.S. to destroy.

Now we shall consider another potentially sinister scenario.It is no secret, that in addition to Paul Wolfowitz, the leaders of Israel pushed hard for the Iraq War.So who did Paul Wolfowitz, who pleased Israel by orchestrating the war, choose to be the man to head the occupation and the reconstruction? He chose a friend who is also exceptionally pro-Israel, three star general, Jay Garner.Such an anti Arab scenario seems to have been designed to maximize the humiliation to the leaders and people of Iraq and to also humiliate all the people of the Middle East.Culturally, it is similar to George W. Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Jay Garner, each removing both their shoes and hitting as many Iraqis as possible over their heads with their shoes until all six shoes are worn out.

Addendum

[Vietnam] took too long… If President Bush had been President, we would have won.” Jay Garner, retired lieut. General charged with leading the effort to build Iraq-Time Magazine, April 28, 2003

In the last few years I have written many papers. But never has my conscience forced me to write a more ominous warning than I have written in this paper. For any American who is fond of being reminded that the U.S. has created a monstrous military machine capable of crushing anonymous foreigners, the above quotation should cause his hearts to rejoice.But for any human being living anywhere in the world and who has a conscience and/or believes in a God who holds men and nations accountable for murdering innocents, the above quote should send cold shivers through our entire bodies. The above quotation gives us an ominous message about each of the three persons I have just discussed in this paper.

It is commonly acknowledged by most American Intellectuals that the Vietnam War was a tragic mistake and needlessly took the lives of thousands of people from several different nations.But from a general’s point of view, it is usually a disgrace for a superior military force to lose a war to an inferior military force whether the war was just or not. But from Allah’s point of view, the Generals and Leaders who order the murder of innocents should begin the trembling which will be part of their eternal punishment. (See Revelation 6:15,16,17)

[Vietnam] took too long… If President Bush had been President, we would have won.”

This quotations means that:

1.   Jay Garner, the man appointed to heal a nation, believes that more innocent foreigners should have been murdered in Vietnam so that the U.S. would have had an “honorable victory.”

2.   Jay Garner believes that President G.W. Bush would have been able to tell more lies so he could have more efficiently manipulated the congress to support murdering more innocent Vietnamese than President Lydam Johnson was able to accomplish by his lies.(General Garner knows Paul Wolfowitz well and Mr. Wolfowitz knows Bush well, so Garner must be right in his evaluation of the kind of man Bush truly is.)

3.   Paul WOLFowitz knew the kind of man Jay Garner is, when he appointed him to be the healer of Iraq.And Paul WOLFowtiz, as a mentor of G.W. Bush, was a consistent aid to the President whom Jay Garner describes.This gives us a terrible message about the kind of man Paul WOLFowitz must be.

The shocking reality that each of the three men which have the main responsibility for the healing of Iraq, have a track record of disregard for the sanctity for non-American life, is truly a stain and shame on the U.S. But to add to the seriousness of this situation is the fact that a person like Jay Garner will appoint many subordinates who will do things, in Time Magazine’s words, “Jay’s Way.”

Jay Garner, George Bush and Paul WOLFowitz

These three men, with their three common attitudes of disregard for foreign life, achieved their positions of power over the Iraqi people, not in a hidden corner, but before the eyes of the entire world. Indeed, ALLAH must be truly grieved that the architect of questionable pre-emption, Paul WOLFowitz, has been allowed to create such a shameful situation without an international outcry. Or is it that ALLAH knows that it is not the Arabs of the Arab world who are important to the larger community of nations, but that it is only their oil which is important?

Oh ALLAH, we have no one else to whom to turn. Please save the people of Iraq, the people of the U.S. and the people of your world, from these three self deceived, powerful men. Oh how we praise You for hearing our prayer.

A Potential Wrong Impression

Please forgive me if I have given the impression that Paul Wolfowitz is the enemy of the Arab World.He is flesh and blood so he is not the enemy.Neither is George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney or General Jay, the enemy.

Though these men are not the true enemy, I sincerely submit that these men appear to be under the influence of a system that the Scriptures refer to as spiritual wickedness in high places and also as a system which controls the powers of darkness of this world.So these men can be controlled and manipulated by these dark powers even though it appears that those powerful men are the ones who are in control. They show forth this appearance because of their great wealth, their outward signs of respectability such as their suits and ties and fine families, their control of massive weapons systems, their respected western educations, their enormous prestige, their close association with a Christian religious heritage and even their grandiose scheme to have their nation remain strong enough to control the entire world so that they can rid it of evil.

Even their great support by a Democratic electorate does not at all negate the frightening fact that they may be influenced and/or manipulated by wickedness in high places.The fact that a Democracy has enabled them to be in power certainly does not guarantee that they have nor become part of a system that has lost touch with ALLAH’s ethical standards and so are in opposition to ALLAH’s Will. A democratic process does not prevent extreme nationalism, extreme patriotism and a preoccupation with self interests from becoming objects of worship which are actually idols which replace people’s commitment to do the Will of ALLAH. Also, a democracy also contains within it a very serious potential flaw.Those who are elected to lead will often sell their souls, by forgetting what true good is, in order to guarantee votes so that they can stay in power.

In light of these evil principalities and powers which are manipulating powerful humans to do their will, we can safely say that neither Osama Bin Laden nor Ariel Sharon nor Saddam Hussein nor Benyamin Netanyahu is the actual enemy.Even in the past, it was not Stalin, Hitler, Lenin, or Genghis Khan who was the true enemy. Rather the enemy is and was spiritual wickedness in high places.The enemy is and was the rulers of the darkness of this world. The true enemy is never flesh and blood. But any insidious system of thought that is in opposition to the purposes of ALLAH which finds powerful men to do its bidding, becomes spiritual wickedness in high places. So it is not a certain man or men which we are to struggle against.Rather, we wrestle against that which has captured the minds and hearts of deceived men.Therefore, it is the privilege of each of us to join with ALLAH in His War against all these deceptive powers.

As I was prayerfully considering our battle against principalities and against the great power of darkness while walking by a quiet lake this morning, wonderful lines from a powerful spiritual song began to repeat themselves over and over in my mind.

“And the Darkness shall turn to the Dawning, and the Dawning to Noonday Bright, and the Anointed’s great Kingdom shall come to earth, the Kingdom of Love and Light.”

“And the Light does shine in the Darkness and the Darkness shall not overcome it.” John 1

Though the following concise words from the Quran may not appear to be describing ALLAH’s Light, in their context they truly are referring to ALLAH’s Light.

ALLAH’s Light “is Eminent in this world and in the next.” AL Imran 3:45

It is only the anointed, eminent Son of Maryam, who in no way was contaminated by man or by any dark system of this world, who ALLAH has fully empowered to defeat both death and all the evil powers of darkness. When each of us align ourselves with His Kingdom of Light through ALLAH's own Anointed, we participate in His triumph over all dark powers.

ALLAH AKBAR!
