Zbigniew Brzezinski goes radical performing new role on political stage

Do not be misled by the title, Brzezinski has always been a radical arch-Imperialist supporting US world domination. He is an advisor to US presidents, the CFR and similar ELITIST institutions. The paper is an interesting take on his latest views, which could help explain recent attitudes and events in the Middle East and North Africa but it should not be taken at face value -- the man is an unabashed Imperialist and is certainly correct in his assessment of an overwhelming tide of opposition against the civilian killing, mass murdering, Corporatist filth known as America.

Brzezinski

Obama’s adviser and major US political scientist Zbigniew Brzezinski is back on political stage. In his recent book he writes, “America urgently need to fashion a truly post-Cold War globalist foreign policy. It still can do so if the next president, aware that "the strength of a great power is diminished if it ceases to serve an idea," tangibly relates American power to the aspirations of politically awakened humanity.”

Thus, the former US Security Council clearly outlines a personality capable to promote US leadership under global shift of the world policy. Brzezinski sees Obama as a sole “savior” bringing change not only to the United States country but to the whole world.

Obama - Brzezinski’s duo arouses suspicion in many countries. Brzezinski backing of Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer (authors of The Israel Lobby) has been harshly criticized by rightist Israelis. Meanwhile, Obama counters allegations that he would sacrifice Israel in return for a settlement with the Muslim world. Though that’s probably what Brzezinski wants him to do.

Brzezinski updates political vocabulary with a new term: “the global political awakening”. Brzezinski asserts that, "the worldwide yearning for human dignity is the central challenge inherent in the phenomenon of global political awakening." He perceives the global political awakening as fundamental reality and driving force of history, incapable of being overcome through conservative approach and even suicidal for those who dare. He writes that only by identifying itself with the idea of universal human dignity can America overcome the risk that the global political awakening will turn against it that is to say instead of scrambling to retain existing balance America should lead the revolutionary change.

Being perfectly aware of anti-Western sentiment as a central fact of global political awakening he writes that “global political awakening is historically anti-imperial, politically anti-Western, and emotionally increasingly anti-American. In the process, it is setting in motion a major shift in the global center of gravity. That in turn is altering the global distribution of power, with major implications for America’s role in the world.” Obviously, the foremost geopolitical effect of global political awakening – let’s name it world revolution - is the demise of America as a global empire, decline of a “New Pax Americana” and beginning of post-imperial age.

Brzezinski concludes, “Anti-Westernism is thus more than a populist attitude. It is an integral part of the shifting global demographic, economic and political balance. Not only does the non-Western population already far outnumber the Euro-Atlantic world (by 2020, Europe and North America are likely to account for only 15 percent of the world population), but the non-West’s awakened political aspirations generate significant momentum for the ongoing redistribution of power. The resentments, emotions, and quest for status of billions are a qualitative new factor of power.”

Brzezinski’s speculations on US leading a “world revolution” are not really brand new. After the Second World War the USA was all busy with “interception and rerouting” of revolutionary activities towards their rivals – British Empire and later Soviet Union.

However, Brzezinski goes beyond. He considers Islamism as a legitimate and most powerful emanation of global political awakening. This is kind of political protest to counter Western imperial domination. He assumes that ongoing complex processes depend in many respects on US ability to deal with Islamic world. Otherwise it will be China’s gain.

Then he comes up with a clear statement that the US has to be in the forefront of Islam’s revival if it wants to lead world change. He sees US – Islamic link as a key success factor and consequent China’s joining would eventually turn this alliance to triumphant trio reestablishing America as a global leader.

It’s clear that suggested US-Islamic alliance is meant to be anti-Russian. Brzezinski considers Russia as anti-Islamic and pro-imperialistic stronghold yearning to counter “awakened humanity” led by Obama the Savior. All in all, America will shine again as the principal defender of “insulted and humiliated”.

[Brzezinski correctly refers to the difference in population between East and West and states that by 2020 the West would only constitute 15% of the world's population. Indeed, and if any region or group stands to prevail after an all out nuclear conflict it is indisputably Asia! Western Europe and North America would be completely obliterated.

Regardless of all the force the West could exert the Asian and African regions would survive and re-populate the world hence the urgent NEED to stand down the evil that is the mass murdering, militaristic USA -- and if necessary, strike with full military force to rid this planet of this disease FOREVER!]
