What Will They Do?

Not about South Ossetia. Not about Abkhazia. Not even about Transnistria (although remember that name). But about Nagorno-Karabakh.

You Know Who are dependent on Christian votes, especially in the United States, although seventy-two per cent of Britons are Christians and that figure is typical of Western Europe; it is just that the etiquette of these things is different on the Old World.

And You Know Who pose as the bulwarks against Islam when they are not in fact any such thing, supporting or having supported in every way the causes of Islamic secession in Bosnia, Kosovo and Chechnya; being closely allied to Pakistan and to the Gulf monarchies, not least including Wahhabi Arabia; having created an Islamist insurgency where there had been none in Iraq, and threatening to do the same thing in Syria; sucking up to the once and (near) future Caliphate of Turkey, which is itself behind the attempted Islamic secession in the north of Cyprus; and promoting an economic system which depends on mass migration from the Islamic world to the West.

So, what on earth will You Know Who do when (as might very well now happen this year, before Bush leaves office) a section of the first people, as such, ever to become Christian follows the Bosnian and Kosovan precedent in reverse, and declares independence from an Islamic country, rather than an Islamic enclave declaring independence from a Christian country? What will they do when the Republika Srpska follows suit? What will they do when both are backed by Russia, the real historic bulwark of the Biblical-Classical synthesis that is the real Western civilisation? And why?

  4. The have a deathwish, yes. Though only for other people. Rather a lot of other people in fact. In Britain, their list is topped by toffish officers and chavish other ranks.

  6. Well, if they could show that the continuation of Armenian culture and the practice of Christianity had become impossible as they were, then they would certainly have a case for secession.

    Likewise, if, say, the Kosovars had been able to show that the continuation of Albanian culture and the practice of Islam had become impossible as they were, then they might also have had a case for secession (though a far more tenous one - Kosovo has never been part of any Albanian state, and the Albanians are really quite recent arrivals there).

    But both the Islamic authorities in Serbia and the Albanian community leaders there opposed the secession of Kosovo, like the Roma, the Catholic Church, everyone.

  8. Oh, no. Most American Jews did not vote for the War Party, insofar as they had any option not to, at either the last Presidential or the last Congressional Election. And large numbers of Israeli Jews make a point of voting against the War Party at every opportunity.

    They all deserve better, as the whole world does, than the neoconservative movement, thanks to whose activities, of which the last comment is a small but entirely typical example, no charge of antisemitism, no matter how valid, will ever be taken seriously again.

    And look at the list of signatories to the Project for the New American Century, just for a start. If Francis Fukuyama (a partially lapsed but now returning neocon), Dick Cheney, Steve Forbes, Dan Quayle or Zalmay Khalizad is Jewish, then I for one will be extremely surprised. Never mind Jeb Bush.

    Even people whose names look as if they might be - George Weigel, Donald Rumsfeld, Gary Bauer - are not, Weigel being in fact a German-descended Catholic (and biographer of John Paul II, to whom he should have paid more attention), Rumsfeld a German-descended Protestant-if-anything, and Bauer one of America's leading Evangelical Protestants (and also, obviously, of German descent).

    Yet they have presumed to open the way for all manner of vilification and victimisation of Jews for ever more. I for one strongly suspect that they are in fact visceral antisemites. In fact, I struggle to think of any other explanation.

    The Elders of Zion never existed at all. The World Masonic Conspiracy has never existed, whatever the Lodge might have acted as an organising tool for in individual countries or cities.

    Neither the Catholic Church generally nor the Society of Jesus specifically has ever been at the centre of any sort of political network, whatever individual Catholics or Jesuits might have done; the same is true of Opus Dei.

    And there is no "global terror network" called "al-Qaeda".
