Paul Craig Roberts, one of America’s notable political thinkers, turned sharply against the Establishment he used to serve after the 9/11 false flag, which he has described as follows:
“The neoconservatives used their false flag event to destroy the Bill of Rights and turn the American people over to a police state, and they used the New Pearl Harbor that they orchestrated to launch their wars of aggression in the Middle East for the purpose of reconstructing the Middle East in Israel’s interest.”
In his recent article “Is the Muslim World Rising?” Paul Craig Roberts argues that the failure of the Israeli-US war on Iran has opened the possibility of West Asian Muslim nations uniting and becoming a leading power in the coming multipolar world:
Another development is the announcement of a mutual security agreement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. This development combines conventional military force with oil reserves and nuclear weapons and unifies three separate Muslim ethnicities in a strategic location with a population of 355,390,000 people. These are largely Sunni Muslims.
Another development is the announcement on Iranian news media that Iran, predominantly Shia, has been invited to join the alliance. It true, this would indicate that the schism between Sunni and Shia is breaking down. It would also mean a pact of four countries with 448,700,000 people, larger than the United States, with conventional and nuclear power, a large chunk of the world’s oil reserves, and control over the strategic oil waterways. It would be a bloc of strategic importance to Russia and China as the Muslim four country pact is located such that it protects Russian and Chinese interests. Such a pact could become a de facto alliance of 6 countries.
These developments, if real and not just words, signal the end of any pretense of American hegemony and Israel’s agenda of Greater Israel.
Dr. Roberts elaborates on that argument in “Muslims Are Positioned to Change the Correlation of Forces in the World. Do They Realize It?” He is undoubtedly right that bringing Iran into the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement would be very much in the interests of the West Asian Muslim countries:
Recently, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan signed a mutual security agreement. Turkey has capable conventional military forces and controls an important strait. Saudi Arabia has oil. Pakistan has nuclear weapons. This is a meaningful alliance. What is missing is Iran.
The addition of Iran provides determined leadership, and the four country bloc, if it were to form, occupies a strategic part of the world and would control the sea routes through which oil flows.
Why hasn’t this alliance formed? It would be a Muslim alliance of Sunni and Shia. It would compose 458,000,000 Muslins against 7,700,000 Israelis. It would be a Muslim alliance with conventional and nuclear power that neither Israel or Israel’s puppet–the United States–could stand against.
Are the Muslim leaders in the Middle East ready to “seize the day” and save themselves from eventual extermination by ever-more-genocidal “Greater Israel”? Or will petty sectarian disputes, nationalism, and egos lead them to squander the opportunity of a lifetime?
