Image by Matt MahurinA University of Texas at Austin professor is generating national support for his call to the U.S. to reevaluate its stance on the dire situation in Egypt. Government professor Jason Brownlee drafted a letter to President Obama yesterday urging the leader to rethink Middle East policy and stand firm with the demonstrators in Egypt:

[…] if you seek, as you said Friday “political, social, and economic reforms that meet the aspirations of the Egyptian people,” your administration should publicly acknowledge
those reforms will not be advanced by Mubarak or any of his adjutants.

The number of signatures, up from an initial 100 to more than 300 in just 24 hours, continues to balloon. The academics who joined the effort include U.S.-foreign relations
expert and MIT professor Noam Chomsky, Iraq war journalist and NYU fellow Nir Rosen, four other professors who teach at UT-Austin and a host of educators from universities across the nation. Brownlee said he expects the number to reach 1,000 within two days from today.

After spending the morning in D.C. presenting his message to the National Security Council, Brownlee’s inbox has been full with a string of interested academics hoping to get their names on the letter. Critical of the Obama administration’s cautious and “conventional” rhetoric, Brownlee, who is working on a book about U.S.-Egyptian relations, says U.S. leaders are “hedging their bets,” acting as spectators and not the participants that they are. A fear of losing Mideast security arrangements built from a three decades-old relationship restrains the administration from a full throttled endorsement for democratic change of Egypt’s “blatant oligarchy,” says Brownlee.

“The U.S. is very much a part of what is going on in Egypt,” he said. “Through years of military aide, we have helped keep the military loyal to the Egyptian president, although they should be loyal to the citizens who are trying to catalyze real change. The U.S. now needs to side with the demonstrators in the street, the young disenfranchised people,
not the guy who put them in that position.”

Brownlee was surprised by the diversity of signatures, only anticipating a small circle of foreign relations academics and policy experts to sign on. The pool, he says, is growing
by the hour with a frustrated coalition from all ideological, scholarly and professional backgrounds standing alongside the UT professor and his message.

A WAKE-UP CALL- To a poor investment Israel!

[The World Trembles]

Now, the Middle East just like the Far-East has awoken, an one person in history that had experience with both areas more with Egypt than with China was Napoleon, a very shrewd tactician who said this of China – [the dragon sleeps now, let it sleep, for the world will tremble when it wakes], well not only has China awakened from its slumber but the Middle East has awoken from its nightmare of Western Domination, only two of a growing array of Geographic areas which have roused to a new day, a new era, each combining with regional area players to form [21st] Century Spheres of Influence, the mortar and [BRICS] Brazil, The Russian Federation, India, The Peoples Democratic Republic of China, and The Union of South Africa, of a New World Order, which are soon to be joined with the [PDIR] Peoples Democratic Islamic Republics which are at present in their birthing process, going thru the labours and pains to free themselves from the grasps of the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex hold.

[Round Robin $USD’s$]

But what has been the cost to the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex to maintain its strangle hold just upon just [3] states within the Middle East and the Tip of The Spear alone, well the answer is found in following the money, a trail that starts in Washington, D.C. [District of Clowns] where [$Billions$] of [$USD’s$] United States Dollars are annually appropriated to ensure the continued existence of the tip of its spear into the Islamic Crescent, its partner state Israel. Money which is lobbied for quarterly by [AIPAC/AZC] American Israeli Political Action Committee/American Zionist Committee, which in turn supports the [Non-Term Limit], Slam Dunk created [Gerrymandered] district members of the Imperial Court, on a Round Robin [$USD’s$] trip of those [$USD’s$], to the established dictators in the Middle East, who in turn split the cash between paid government lackeys, and their Military Establishment, who purchase the tear gas, water cannons, tanks, weapons, security establishments and prisons to ensure their populations are kept in line. Funding supported from investors such as Nancy Pelosi & Diane Feinstein and husbands, among others who line their nests, profiting from the Round Robin [$USD’s$], and the suffering of the world masses. Just add up the costs, follow the money lets say all [3] of the lackey client states plus Israel the Tip of the Spear got the same amount of [$USD’s], Egypt, Jordon, Saudi Arabia, with each receiving [$1.5B/$USD’s], but there are [4] listed that’s, [$6B/$USD’s$], annually none of which is going to the infrastructure, education, healthcare, [R&D] Research and Development projects for future generations of any type, of The Client States with the exception of Israel and the Military Industrial Complex of American-Israeli Hypocrisy of Democracy and too line the pockets of the Nancy Pelosi’s & Diane Feinstein and husbands it buys, but simply to maintain its status quo.

[A poor investment Israel]

And what has all these [$USD’s$] gotten in return for its poor investment, the hate and rage of those under the age of [25] globally, all for the continued support of Israel, which is guilty of apartheid, and running an open air concentration camp, called Gaza, murdering [400] children and then printing T-shirts, [The smaller ones are harder to hit] among others, the support of that state, with low oil costs per barrel. This as their [POTUS] President of the United States, talks support from one side of his mouth to the Peoples of Egypt and other Arab countries, while having his Military Industrial Complex [Pentagon] working with the [$1.5B/$USD’s$] paid for local military establishments of its client states to ruthlessly put down any insurrection, providing direction in suppression of mobile phones, internet, purchasing of anti-insurrection movement forces, acting against any non-controlled media of the world, moving from the outside in towards the main opposition central point, all this in support of the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex, Wall St., the [NYSE] New York Stock Exchange, Israel and its, declining and increasing irrelevant Hypocrisy of Democracy. A Wake-Up Call-To a poor investment Israel!

SPHERES OF INFLUENCE – The New World of Parity Order!

[The American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex World Order]

The New World Order will be based upon Spheres of Influence, which has already begun, with the [BRICS] Brazil, The Russian Federation, India, The Peoples Republic of China, and The Union of South Africa, which will be followed by the [EU] European Union as it breaks its connection and idealized Western ties to the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex, politically, economically, and militarily forming its own regional [European Sphere of Influence] ending it servant master obedience to Washington, D. C. [District of Clowns], its [NYSE] New York Stock Exchange uncontrolled and black hole capitalism, feeding on the worlds population as a Vampire, sucking the life’s blood from it, controlled by [AIPAC/AZC] The American Israeli Political Action Committee/ American Zionist Committee, in support of Israel and with both groups having failed to life up to the hopes that the world as a whole had believed would have been achieved by the return of the Jewish Peoples to a homeland of their own, only to deny the same dream to the Peoples of Gaza, turning their lives into a nightmare reality of living in an Open Air Concentration Camp, with food cut off, water cut off, under attack by weapons provided by the American-Israel Military Industrial Complex, [DIME & WHITE PHOSPEROUS] used in the murder of [400] Innocent Arab Children seeing them as no more than future enemies, on T-shirts [The Little One’s Are Harder To Kill]. The American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex of professional politicians, of [NO TERM LIMITS], [NO AGE LIMITS], [GERRYMANDERED ELECTION DISTRICTS], with large campaign contributions from the companies that supply its military industrial complex, along with large donations from [AIPAC/AZC], and a controlled media.

[The Sphere of Influence Parity World Order]

The New Sphere of Influence Parity World Order, will be based upon Peace and Prosperity of mutual Parity, not large amounts of money spent on professional military establishment but upon a small cadre of professional soldiers with a larger number of limited years conscripted service [PFC’s] Proud Fracking Civilians], thus creating a nation of citizen soldiers capable, of the over throwing of a government that will not respond to the will and needs of its own peoples. A Military on equal [WMD] Weapons of Mass Destruction [PARITY] with other [Geo-Spheres of Influence] not a large stock pile of Nuclear Weapons which serve no purpose but amounts that are lethal to any other [Sphere of Influence] based on their unstoppable [DELIVERY SYSTEMS] manufactured and replaced with the newest systems and supported by the means of advancements in computer based satellite backed by internal point of no return destination targeting. The concept of a Nuclear Free World is just so much hype of the Western Powers and the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex in particular. World Peace and Regional Prosperity can only be achieved by mutual respect for each of the [Spheres of Influence] toward each other and their rights to define their own regional governments, religious and economic systems, their rights to regional autonomy.

[Blood and Pain will rule the day]

We have seen the often quoted ["He who makes peaceful revolution impossible, makes violent revolution inevitable." Of [JFK – John Fitzgerald Kennedy], and so it is, the concept of containment with a military cordon of tanks of professional military who own their lifestyle to those in power, as those in power use paid and government employees to attack those protesters, while all the time seeking to contain, and delay in an effort to weaken and encage a threat to the puppets of The American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex, will make violent revolution the inevitable choice as mean’s of change, this same method which is being applies in the larger Geo-Political building of its Nuclear Wall running from [Foothold Germany to Foothold Okinawa], in its effort to contain, delay, and weaken by first strike, close in less time with less distance cutting any possible [Nuclear Parity], of [BRICS] members. The [PDIR] Peoples Democratic Islamic Republic Sphere of Influence, is in its birthing stage, and all births are based upon blood shed and pain, the amount of birthing pain will be based upon the military of Egypt, they must answer the question, are they pawns of the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex or are they part of the Peoples of the [PDIR], will they be part of the shaping of the new future or become victims of its, for having stood in its way, so far at least one attempt of assassination has been made upon the newly appointed Egyptian [VP] Vice-President and military pawn of the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex, one of the two pawns that Military Complex sent to delay the birth of the [PDIR], and Mark LeVine who is a professor of history at [UC] University of California at Irvine and senior visiting researcher at the Centre for Middle Eastern Studies at Lund University in Sweden. His most recent books are Heavy Metal Islam (Random House) and Impossible Peace: Israel/Palestine Since 1989 (Zed Books) as written a very intelligent article at (www.aljazeera.net/english), entitled [The shaping of a New World Order] and the answer to his article will be as history has shown again and again Blood and Pain will rule the day, to the [Spheres of Influence of Parity] New World Order.
