American Democracy: Between Illusion and Reality

By: Nadeem ABDO

The speech given by the President of the United States, Georges BUSH Junior, in which he called upon all countries in the Middle East to apply “democracy” in their political systems, has induced a real “quake” at all levels in the region. It appeared as an official statement announcing that America intends to interfere in the interior affairs of countries in the region, in order to impose a political and cultural hegemony, whether directly or through the Zionist entity of Israel, set by Washington as the typical example of democracy in the Middle East…

This statement has given rise to numerous reactions that varied from affliction and refusal to disapproval, then condemnation of the state of democracy in the Occupied Territories of Palestine as well as in America itself; reactions that need not be repeated.

It is wholesome to look objectively into the historical basis of the “American Democracy”, putting primary emotions aside. Truth be said, America had, in the near past, a wide legacy of real democratic values, embodied by number of great presidents and by the passing of advanced laws to build this democracy.

The first of the Great Men of American Democracy is the most famous amongst the “fathers of American Independence”, a scientist, an inventor and a genius: Benjamin FRANKLIN. He advised to prevent the immigration of Jews to America in order to maintain its freedom and “so that our grandchildren don’t damn us” (“Us” being the pioneer of American Independence, those who wrote its Constitution in 1770’s and 1780’s).

Amongst these Great Men was the First President of the United States, George WASHINGTON, who had built the Independence on strong basis and refused being either President or King of the United States for a lifetime. He was contempt with two terms of office, giving a rare example of the impartiality and integrity of real statesmen.

There was President James MONROE as well. He was at the origin of the famous “Monroe Principle” that guided the American Foreign Policy until World War I. In short, it stated the refusal of any European interference in American Affairs, and vice-versa. Furthermore, Monroe tried to solve the problem of slavery in America without any war, thus creating the Independent State of Liberia in Africa and sending the Negro slaves over there. The United States were subject to an unprecedented period of prosperity during both of Monroe’s terms in office. Moreover, having applied the “Monroe Principle”, America secured an external peace it has been lacking from for the past hundred years.

It is also necessary to mention President Abraham LINCOLN who maintained the unity of the United States and kept it sacred during the war of Secession from 1860 to 1865. Eventually, he freed the Negro people in America from slavery.

As for legislation, America was the pioneer in the field of lawmaking, prohibiting monopolization, fighting organized crime groups such as the “Mafia”. More importantly, these laws have been applied, although more or less evenly, through the ages and through political and economic evolutions.

What concerns us in all this is that America presently applies no more this spirit of democracy. It now refuses to Arab Countries the right to show a historical television series (“Al Chitat” Series), thus being at contradiction with the principle of respect of freedom of opinion and speech. It now aims to submit the Arab people as slaves to the Jews, thus aiming to give practical effect to the Jewish plan which purpose is the fragmentation of the Arab countries, one similar to that which Lincoln prevented in America.

The cause behind these facts is: the Jews have eventually taken control of the United States. Benjamin FRANKLIN had warned his compatriots about it (and after him, the pioneer genius of the popular automobile industry, Henry FORD). The American people is unaware that Jews are breaking all the American laws against monopolizing and mafia groups; that they are now themselves a monopolizing mafia controlling by far all of the political, cultural and economic destiny of the United States.

However, the trouble America got into in Iraq instead of the Jews has started opening the eyes of Americans upon the Jewish Danger; the Europeans are realizing this danger as well. The Arabs should not, in any way whatsoever, miss this chance once again. They should know how to communicate with the American people and invite them to correct their Middle-Eastern policies, thus returning the original democratic American spirit, that of the refusal of Jews, of the interference in others’ affairs, the rejection of slavery and monopolizing and organized crime; particularly when this would be primarily in the high interest of the United States itself.
