Arab Spring
The Arab Spring was an eruption of
mass protest in several Arab countries[1] that
drove regime changes, authoritarian government crackdowns, and sometimes a
mix of both. New communications technology, manifested as social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, were credited with helping protestors
organize, and some contend that the spirit of protest spread to the United States and Europe via the "Occupy" movements.
For
many observers, the important questions about the Arab Spring are not about the
liberal and democratic image offered up for Western consumption but about the
role played by Islam fundamentalists.
Raymond
Stock, Visiting Assistant Professor of Arabic and Middle East Studies at Drew
University and Guggenheim Fellow who lived in Cairo from 1990 to 2010, writes
that the Arab Spring in Egypt was actually less spontaneous than it was
cleverly orchestrated by the Muslim Brotherhood, who "endorsed the
uprising before it began, not afterward—and clearly was in communication with
its organizers then as well. And thereafter, rather than playing only a minor role,
as most accounts claim, it was in fact the MB, more than any other group, that
really brought the crowds into Tahrir and elsewhere. The Muslim Brotherhood was
not a sheepish junior partner and Johnny-come-lately, as the media and experts
portrayed it, but the most important player as of the second day of
demonstrations, right through the end—and beyond."[2]
With the exceptions of Tunisia and Bahrain, the liberal phase of the Arab Spring was effectively
over by Spring 2012. Curiously, however, many in the West refused to recognize
that the movements had been largely hijacked by illiberal Sunni Islamists funded by conservative Sunni Arab monarchies.[3] Even today, many US and UK politicians
still openly advocate for "no-fly-zones", weapons shipments to
rebels, and even a war against the Syrian government.
UN Agenda
21 requires the dissolution of all current nation-states to make way for the
“new world order”. Obama was hired by
George Soros to advance Agenda 21 implementation in the US and beyond. Hillary and Obama are the most loyal UN
Agenda 21 supporters on the planet. They
attend all UN meetings and continue to defer to UN pronouncements. The UN
pretends to be the global government and Democrats support this.
The Arab
Spring was a movement designed to topple Middle Eastern governments to make way
for a UN takeover. The problem was that the voters in these countries were
unwitting accomplices who just wanted a higher standard of living. Their
current governments were filled with people who were only interested in
maintaining their own standard of living.
Islamic
terror groups used the Arab Spring to advance their goal of restoring the old
Ottoman Empire that would include all current Arab countries. Iran wants to be the leader of this
caliphate. The old Ottoman Empire was dissolved by Turkey in 1924 following a
series of wars for independence. Great Britain took over additional countries,
but eventually wore out its welcome and reformed their territories. Over time, most
these countries replaced their monarchs with tyrants.
The
Saudis have embarked on a plan to educate their citizens to develop their
private economy beyond their oil economy.
This is the right course, but Islam is too exclusionary to make any
Muslim country a major player. Although,
they could become a major player with other Muslim countries and could lead
other Muslim countries to spend more time making their citizens more
self-sufficient productive and more prosperous.
