Redesigning the Middle East: The Arab "Revolutions," Counter-Revolution in Iran and Regime Change

Takis Fotopoulos
4.9/5 (24018 ratings)
Description:This book seeks to demystify the causes of the ongoing Arab "revolutions" that have been completely distorted by the first real 'media wars' in history, compared to which the media war launched on the occasion of the Iraq invasion seems just a dress rehearsal. Libya and Syria represent the first cases of a complete manipulation of the 'world community' by the world mass media--directly or indirectly controlled by the transnational elite-which, almost unanimously, have distorted not just the real aims and ultimate causes of the military campaigns, as used to be the case in the past, but also have even generated the very 'facts' leading to them. These 'facts' have, in turn, been used to provide the immediate formal causes for the campaigns themselves. It demonstrates that the ultimate aim in all the cases of the Arab "revolutions" has been to secure the full integration of all Arab regimes into the internationalized market economy ('neoliberal globalization'), either through a pseudo-democratization of existing client regimes (Tunisia, Egypt) or through regime-change, following a NATO attack (Libya), with a similar fate clearly prescribed for Syria and Iran. However, what is the most significant unifying element in all these cases is not so much the ultimate aim of the transnational elite but the means used to achieve it. These means constitute a perfection of the practice for implementing regime change used by the West in the last two decades or so in East Europe through a series of instigated 'color revolutions'. The exploitation by the transnational elite of various social divisions in the countries concerned provided US-controlled local armies the opportunity to consolidate the integration of those countries into the internationalized market economy by facilitating the emergence of a different political personnel (Tunisia, Egypt). Alternatively, in Libya, the transnational elite used NATO power itself to impose a client regime in place of a non-client one. A new characteristic of the Arab "revolutions was the stand of the 'liberal Left," which faithfully adopted the propaganda campaign of the transnational elite reproduced by the world mass media. Unlike in Afghanistan and Iraq, where the 'liberal Left' was mostly divided vis-a-vis the transnational elite, in the case of the Arab 'revolutions' it has uncritically supported the Arab insurrections, without making the necessary distinctions between them."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
