The Arab Agenda

Chapter 3

The Beginning of the modern Arab Chaos

There has always been chaos in some shape or form; however this is by far the worst with uprisings and revolutions affecting every corner of the Arab world.

In 2006 the Centre for Democracy was established in Lebanon. Ralph Peters in the Armed Forces Journal wrote "How a better Middle East would look"5.

The "New Middle East" project was introduced publicly by Washington and Tel Aviv with the expectation that Lebanon would be the pressure point for realigning the whole Middle East and thereby unleashing the forces of "constructive chaos."

This "constructive chaos" -which generates conditions of violence and warfare throughout the region- would in turn be used so that the United States, Britain, and Israel could redraw the map of the Middle East in accordance with their geo-strategic needs and objectives.

Secretary Condoleezza Rice stated during a press conference that "what we're seeing here [in regards to the destruction of Lebanon and the Israeli attacks on Lebanon], in a sense, is the growing (the 'birth pangs') of a 'New Middle East' and whatever we do we [meaning the United States] have to be certain that we're pushing forward to the New Middle East and not going back to the old one".

"We're not going back to the old one", if those words don't strike you, then I'm not sure what does. And while it is documented there are those that will claim it to be a conspiracy theory.

The words Rice had uttered had actually been written in 1996 in a document entitled A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm.

It is very hard trying or attempting to make the public aware of what is happening in the Middle East and why, and it is hard for me to comment on every country that is in chaos today due to the distortion and propaganda of the mass media and bias NGO's. But I can say that so far there have been no winners except for those who benefit from the arms sales and the economic hit to the countries in question that a few elite benefit from.

Closer to home, the Arab Spring and when it comes specifically to the GCC states and in particular Bahrain, it was not the intended pre-planned time to revolt.

The timing of the promoted planned "revolution initial execution" was set to take the initiation stage between 2014- 2019 and not in 2011.

Nonetheless following the Arab "spring" in Tunisia and Egypt, Bahrain's' opposition with the training and backing from America (and with or without America's knowledge were also answering to Iran) took advantage of the situation and tried to make it look like any other Arab uprising claiming a lack of jobs, housing needs and so on.

Yet with the initial demand for jobs in Bahrain and according to the ex- minister of labor at the time was one of the lowest percentages in terms of unemployment standing at just 4%.

So although the questions raised with housing had legitimacy, the housing issue question can be raised all over the world and Bahrain is no different to any country where these issues are visible yet don't lead to an uprising to such an extent.

However when it came to Bahrain, Bahrain was the initiation of an agenda, a GCC domino effect, a democratic experiment that was pre-planned to work except not at this particular time.

Why else would a project on the Middle East be established (pomed.org)? A "Project on Middle East Democracy".7 The word project should be enough to raise eyebrows.

An ex resident and blogger on Bahrain in 2005 stated clearly that whatever happened in Bahrain, would be what other nations in the region will emulate. "This is a democratic experiment that has to work. If it turns out to be a sham in Bahrain, the other nations will install sham democracies. If it turns out to be a genuine system, then other nations will feel the pressure from their own people to install a genuine system of participation and fairness.

That's what is at stake and the West must do what it can to preserve a favorable outcome."

A democratic experiment would lead to a nation plunged into chaos and confusion. And yet despite the words, the transparency and the information availability some would prefer to conceal the truth as a conspiracy.

The reason for my analysis of the projected initiation date being 2014-2019 was the estimation based on the National Democratic Institutes (NDI) Regional Director's time frame. Placing the fact that the joint working paper Democracy Middle East was published in 2010 and the time frame he provided was 20-25 years, and if we start at the "beginning" of the initiation of the NDI's democracy promotion which started in 1994 then 2011 was not the proposed planned time frame.

However if we look at the publication timing (20-25 years from 2010 from the time of publication) then the initiation "execution" date would have been 2025. Bahrain's "vision 2030″ would be a mission to end all visions and the end of the Bahrain Ruling Sunni Monarchy, and hence the domino affect would begin.
