Book review:
UNCLE SHAME
“America’s New World Order -- EXPORTING WARS” is about United
States-led, European global military designs to control and plunder
resources worldwide.
Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 1989, the United
States emerged as the sole super power with unprecedented military might
in human history. People worldwide, sick and tired of wars and misery,
hoped and prayed that the US, that hoodwinked the world, portraying
itself as a champion of democracy, freedom, justice and human rights,
would usher in a period of peace and harmony.
They were disappointed, as corporate conglomerates such as the
weapons industry, oil companies, banking and finance sectors, media,
Jewish lobbies and other forces which rule the US and Europe had their
own agenda and the result was never ending wars.
The 9/11 tragedy, still remaining a mystery, was ruthlessly exploited
as a launching pad to unleash a ferocious campaign demonizing Islam and
Muslims to justify their military designs.
Islamophobia spread like wildfire and the frightening situation
prompted Professor Wolfram Richter, the Economic Professor of Germany’s
Dortmund University, to express his fear that “the next holocaust would
be against Muslims”.
Since then, numerous countries, from Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania,
Chechnya, Somalia, Afghanistan, Algeria and Iraq to Libya were turned
into waste lands.
The gold- and uranium-rich West African country of Mali is being
rained upon with death and destruction. Syria is bleeding. Pakistan is
collapsing and Iran, perhaps, is next on their agenda. Medieval style
atrocities caused by so-called champions of human rights, have caused
death, destruction and misery to millions who otherwise lived in peace
and harmony.
Simultaneously, America’s New World Order, globalization, has
provided open license for western multinational corporations to loot
developing world while bribery and corruption dealt death blow to
established order.
The introduction of the American gangster culture eroded centuries
old customs, traditions and family values. Internet facilities, though a
great blessing, has opened floodgates for sexual anarchy and debased
morals. Cherished human qualities such as honesty and integrity
disappeared in the drive for quick money.
The engines of so-called prosperity, reshaping global markets, have
turned the poor poorer and the rich richer causing widespread
discontentment worldwide and this may perhaps lead to a global
revolution, while poverty has driven millions to prostitution for
survival.
This book, by senior Sri Lankan journalist Latheef Farook, who spent
a quarter of a century in the Middle East following developments there
and travelled far and wide, discloses the whirlpool of changes sweeping
across the globe and the frightening future of humanity -- what the
Western media, an integral part of the US-European war machine, refuses
to speak about.
