There is in America a group of pressure that attempts to impose its agenda on the State Department and the President, despite the clearly anti-American nature of their goals that contradict both, the foremost principles of the Founding Fathers and the US national interests.

Colonial in its nature, the Horrendous East Africa Agenda of a Crypto-Nazi lobbying group helps discredit America, while perpetuating the African dictators' grip on power, as it makes clear to them that they have to calculate that under present circumstances and due to its imperialist needs China will actively step in, filling the vacuum. At a moment many US legislators, diplomats, military experts, and geopolitical analysts identify China as the main threat to America's interests, various lobbying groups diffuse a completely erroneous interpretation of facts, a falsification of historical past, and a vicious distortion of political deeds and intentions.

Abusing US sensitivities

Their method is relatively simple but vicious; they abuse US sensitivities pertaining to the War against Islamic Terrorism.

There is no doubt that America was hit by the phenomenon of the Islamic Terrorism, and that the subsequent War against it corresponded to global needs that comprise much more that just America's national interests.

However, the War against Islamic Terrorism necessitates a most clear vision, and a quasi-perfect identification of targets. America failed to see the phenomenon within its correct dimensions that are predominantly cultural – educational – socio-behavioural, and only secondarily pertain to military actions and political choices.

War against Islamic Terrorism: Target identification

In the War against Islamic Terrorism the existence of intolerant societies of discrimination outweighs the occasional explosions of political radicalism; this is due to mainly two reasons:

1. There would never be political radicalism, if not well cultivated within the intolerant societies of discrimination, and

2. If the US effort is exhausted in just outmaneuvering plots and acts of political radicalism, without addressing its main cause, the intolerant societies of discrimination will soon end up proliferating the numbers of those involved in acts of political radicalism and inhuman extremism.

Extremist Acts: due to US 'allies' who preserve Intolerant Societies

In brief, it is vain to even engage in the aforementioned war, without the conviction that it mostly pertains to ideas, systems of education, cultures and behavioural systems.

Even worse, if the aforementioned is not understood, America will continue pursuing policies that mostly help tyrants who manage to portray themselves as pro-Americans, while overtly contributing to the strengthening of their intolerant societies of discrimination. The Pakistani Dictator Musharaf, and the two barbaric pseudo-kings of Arabia and Jordan are exemplary cases in this regard.

As long as America does not find a way to exercise a direct impact on, and to trigger a great cultural – educational – socio-behavioural change within, the Pakistani intolerant society of discrimination, all efforts to combat this terrorist group or to infiltrate that terrorist cell will be as futile as the making of a hole in the water.

Islamic Terrorism: not a Matter of Villages and Periphery, but Urban Centers

Even more disastrous would be for America to identify as intolerant societies of discrimination the most undeveloped, traditionalist Muslim societies. The opposite in true, and it is quite unfortunate that the entire West with its hundreds of venerated universities is unable to present a single Ph. D. level dissertation on the subject.

Intolerance, discrimination and the ensuing radicalism are mainly manifested in societies of clash; by definition, societies of clash are not the remote mountainous villages of Iran, the Nile hamlets of Sudan, the fishermen's coastal communities of Yemen and Somalia, the plain municipalities of Pakistan, and the desert settlements in Mali and the Niger.

In most of these cases, the technological infrastructure is minimal, electricity is not available, Internet Cafés are inexistent, and the global news arrive late and seem as if coming from another galaxy! In these places, Muslims live and want to continue living peacefully, they have no intention and they find no reason to commit suicidal attacks. They preserve an old fashion of life, highly evaluating their traditions, but they feel nothing in common with the hysteria of the sheikhs of mosques in the great cities and the vast capitals.

Islamic Terror: due to the Third World's most advanced Upper Middle Classes

Societies of clash are places whereby the news arrive immediately, are received painfully as negative developments, cause overwhelming reactions, and added to the earlier similar pieces of news, provoke hatred and hysteria. Societies of clash are Karachi, Riyadh, Cairo, Damascus, Gaza, Jericho, Amman, Mecca, Medina, Algiers, Rabat, Fez, Marrakech, Tunis, Jakarta, Dhaka, etc. There is of course a reason why these reactions characterize the huge urban centers and not the peripheries of the coast, the mountains, the plains, the valleys and the deserts.

In the huge urban centers of the Muslim countries, the local – uneducated and barbaric – upper middle classes, greedy in their material interests and self-belittled because of their self-evaluation of their insignificance, mediocrity, ignorance, inferiority, and unworthiness, nurture an abysmal hatred for their Western counterparts. Deeply engulfed in their darkness, they still think it is possible that – without colossal changes (for which they are unprepared and which they don't want at all) – they may possibly enter into a competition with the leading countries of the West. Their complex of inferiority would need more than 500 Ph.D. dissertations in order to be safely and plainly described.

Not the People, the 'US friendly' Upper Middle Classes are the Fanatics.

It's not the average people of Karachi, Cairo, Doha, Riyadh and Damascus who are fanatic Muslims; it's their upper middle classes who want to use them, and therefore they do their best, while hypocritically, mendaciously and deeply un-Islamically portraying themselves as pro-Western, friendly to America and cordial with the Zionists, to fanaticize them, to excite the lewdest and the lowest feelings of these masses that the monstrous dictators of the Arabic Barbarism deliberately prevent them from literacy, education and cultural improvement.

Never in the World History has a country as great as today's America been cheated so completely and so deceitfully by so low, coarse, and imbecile dictators, who despite the fact that they overtly spit on the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are considered by the White House and the State Department as possibly friendly interlocutors.

Christian Alliance vs. Islamic Terrorism: boosting Ossama Bin Laden

On this erroneous basis, further illusions and myths have been built; one of them pertains to a possible Christian alliance against the Islamic Terrorism. Nothing would be worse as advise, as it would push great masses of Muslims, who have not been fanaticized thus far, to extreme raections. This would be enough reason to radicalize the Muslim non-urban periphery that in terms of population consists in the outright majority of the Islamic World.

Another bias is the notion of the Christian alliance itself; the idea is utterly laughable because of the terrible conflicts within Christianity itself. Kaiser's Germany, a Protestant – Catholic nation allied with the Ottoman Empire, fought against the Anglican British, the Catholic / Laic French, and the Orthodox Russians in WW I. There cannot, and there will never be a Christian alliance.

Abyssinia: Evil's Perfect Portrait – according to the Founding Fathers

Viewing the aforementioned within today's Middle Eastern context of conflicts, we realize that Protestant / Catholic America has nothing in common with Abyssinia, fallaciously re-baptized 'Ethiopia', a tribal Monophysitic heretic Christian tyranny that despite formal metamorphoses of institutions (kingdom, third world communist republic, and bogus-federation) remains an unchangeable intolerant realm where many Catholic and Protestant missionaries were met with excruciating destiny and brutal death.

If we collect every concept, element, thought and attitude the Founding Fathers criticized, denounced and rejected as Darkness, Inhumanity and Barbarism, we have an excellent description of the 'modern' Abyssinian Tyranny.

The idea that America could possibly have in common anything with Abyssinia is laughable and ludicrous; whereas America claims to represent the world's leading force of Enlightenment politics, Abyssinia intends to obdurately continue its unrevised and unrestrained racial, cultural and discriminations against all the surrounding nations. One can therefore easily draw the correct conclusions.

Associate 'Ethiopia' to the US – and Dissociate the Rest of the World!

If the American administration attempts to associate the Racist Pariah State of Abyssinia – with which there can be no cooperation at all – with America's effort to achieve an everlasting success in the War against the Islamic Terrorism, the US will be met with a devastating defeat.

Not only such a policy contradicts the most principal ideals and the most fundamental concepts on which the US Constitution has been based, but it also depicts the US administration as an immoral group deprived of moral standards, prone to biased practices, and compliant with policies of two measures and two weights.

The Human Rights' violations, appalling racist acts of the successive Abyssinian tyrants, and the oppressive policies pursued over the past century in Abyssinia make of the world's most enduring and most inhuman tyranny.

Somalia was never prone to Islamic Terrorism; neither will it be.

Even more questionable is America's understanding and perception of Somalia. The Horn of Africa country represented until 1991 one of the world's most open, open-minded and tolerant societies. This pertains to the fact that Somalia was part of the periphery of the Muslim world, a country at the confines of Dar al Islam, with vast agricultural sector, small concentration in urban centers, and – contrarily to Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and India – no local religious conflict. Not a single place in Somalia experienced the 'clash' with the West in the way Cairo, Jerusalem, Amman, Baghdad, Delhi and Algiers did.

Focused on rehabilitation, development and modernization, Somalia was far more advanced, progressed, dynamic and energetic than the anachronistic, dysfunctional relic of Abyssinia, either we compare both countries in 1973 – 1974 or we evaluate them in 1991. Despite 16 years of civil war, Somalia is today at the same level as Abyssinia in almost all the significant economic and financial parameters.

It is essential to take into consideration that even after so great divisions, after a so terrible bloodshed, and after the political rise of some demented Somalis who allied themselves with Islamic terrorist groups, the outright majority of the Somali people, intellectuals, religious leaders, politicians, officers, and businessmen reject Islamic Extremism – in striking contradiction with Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Iran.

If America does not count on the down to earth sociopolitical realities in Somalia, and absurdly founds its Horn of Africa strategy on marginal events, unrepresentative situations, and over-magnified details, the US has not a single chance to maintain its influence in Eastern Africa.

In a forthcoming article, we will analyze the falsifications contained within a supposedly elucidating analysis, one of the many working documents that are – quite unfortunately – taken very seriously in Washington.
