The Arab Agenda

Chapter 23

Plans for Redrawing the Middle East: The Project for a "New Middle East". This project, which was in the planning stages for several years, consisting of creating an arc of instability, chaos, and violence had succeeded. There is literally no Arab nation that has been left without the creation of some sort of instability.

Today Syria lies in a crossroads of civil war fought by mainly non Syrian nationals with lives lost in a never ending battle. And it won't end here until they surround Damascus, which will be the only place still standing at the chaos of it all. Had it not been for the Russian position of their naval forces we would have seen similar attacks as we saw in Libya and previously Iraq, and now in Mali.

This is the way I have analyzed the Arab Agenda. I don't concede to be one hundred percent accurate, however, having lived through an uprising in Bahrain that is not Egypt or Libya or Tunisia for that matter, and very far from Syria (however constantly compared) that I perceive the situation.

The Arab Agenda has been easy to absorb by public opinion. Arabs don't matter. Hollywood history has shown Arabs as sub human and the image of the Arab has been vilified. For the past 30 years the world has watched and paid to sit at cinema screens and have mocked Arabia by just paying to watch image makers projecting Arabs on silver screens as thugs, buffoons that deliver cheap laughs.

Hollywood has created a mythology of Arabs, a very extreme mythology. The stereotype has been so wide spread that it has become invisible to people and the reason is that we have grown up with these images.

Television today, unquestionably the most powerful molder of opinion in the world today is the American global media, and especially the Hollywood motion picture industry. Ever since Zionist's forcibly established the State of Israel on the land of Arab Palestine in 1948 (with a great deal of American and British assistance), and as Arabs and Israelis have struggled for control of this land in the years since, Hollywood and the rest of American mass media have carried out a campaign to disparage Arabs and tarnish their image.

American motion pictures and television -- which have promoted negative images of non-Caucasians, including Native Americans, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-Americans -- since the 1950s have singled out Arabs and Muslims, more often than any other ethnic-religious group, as objects of hatred, contempt, and derision. (Because Arabs are the world's most numerous Semitic groups, this hostility against them is literally anti-Semitic.)

'Villain of Choice' In American television, writes Professor Shaheen, "the villain of choice today is the Arab." He also says: "To be an Arab in America today is to be an object of contempt and ridicule by television under the guise of entertainment. To me this anti-Arab image on entertainment manifests itself in the politics of America.

Professor Shaheen Author of "Reel Bad Arab's, How Hollywood Vilifies a People" looked at 1,000 films, films ranging from the most obscured days of Hollywood to today's biggest blockbusters. In his quest he tries to make visible what too many "see not to see."

Professor Jack Shaheen goes on to point out: "The dangerously consistent pattern of hateful Arab heresy, stereotypes that rob a people of their humanity. All aspects of the American culture project the Arab as villain". TV shows now show in addition to the Arab "terrorist" over there Arab's over here are also terrorists".

Over and over via serials, movies, thrillers Arab's are portrayed as terrorists take as an example Sleeper Cell or 24 . "With the image that has been portrayed and the mythology of the Arab has been projected, when innocent Arab's get killed and bombed, when they are tortured in places like Abu Ghuraib and Guantanamo, when Arab's are killed in their thousands by NATO jets, it is no surprise that the West feels no compassion or even worse even make light of it"- Professor Shaheen. "Arab's and Muslims have been labeled as Al Qaeda, Hamas and therefore don't receive any sympathy or understanding and that is very dangerous"

Do I even need to question as to why Arab's are portrayed in such a way? The mass controlled media that coincidentally portrays Arab's as bad people, terrorists, criminals, thugs, mass murderers, buffoons, can be bombed without question and no one will even ask as to why the terrorist labeled Arab whether they are an adult or a child.

Only the unfortunate, misinformed wouldn't be able to see how conveniently this ties in to the New Middle East Map. A map that will never succeed, and even if it does, will only be a temporary victory.

Remember, all uprisings, all wars, all chaos, all injustice, is by the greedy, and for the greedy.
