J O R D A N I A N R E A L I T I E S
and
THE "AMAZING" HUSSEIN
MER - WASHINGTON - 5 Feb:
Jordan is a country that never should have been but which has endured.
A quite a price however. For the young Winston Churchill and the
British Empire it was a temporary arrangement made on behalf of the
defeated Hashemite collaborators from Arabia, one designed to
stabilize British control of the region against the French. For the
fledgling Zionist movement the Hashemites quickly became the secret
conspiratorial connection with they brilliantly manipulated to achieve
their goal of "Jewish" independence while vanquishing the mutual
Zionist/Hashemite enemy, the Palestinians.
King Hussein was a teenager who "ascended" the Amman throne after
being at the side of his fallen grandfather, assassinated by
Palestinians for his treachery in the heart of Jerusalem. No betting
man in the 1950s would have thought the boy-king would have survived
to die a natural death in 1999.
The West's chicanery in the early years of this century in carving out
Transjordan from Palestine, Kuwait from Iraq, Lebanon from Syria
has succeeded in keeping the Arab world twisted and disfigured, weak
and humbled, disjointed and despairing. Western dissection has
succeeded in preventing the "Arab world" from uniting to build their
own "United" country and make good use of their own resources and
potential power. The cost to the peoples of the Arab world has been
enormous -- in blood, in treasure, in history.
Underlying the geographical concerns were of course commercial ones.
And here too the control of and looting of "the prize", black gold,
has also been achieved by the West. Just think about it, Americans
buy a gallon of gas -- pumped from the Arabian desert, transported
half-way around the world, refinied into oil and gas products, and
then distributed to their local gas stations -- cheaper than the price
of a gallon of bottled water at their local supermarkets!
And beyond this, even the petrodollars paid for the oil are squandered
by the Western "client regimes" whose life-styles are obnoxious, who
recycle most of it to Western banks, purchase vast quantities of
Western products including Western arms. All of this further enriches
the West while further impoverishing the "Mid-East" -- itself a
British colonial term that stuck.
Just two weeks ago the amazing Hussein was deceiving his rather
gullible and emotional people one final time in this extended story of
Hashemite lies, deceptions, and collaboration that goes back to the
time of Lawrence of Arabia. He returned to his Kingdom pronouncing
himself "totally cured", "flying" his own plane, intent on doing the
final deed urged on him by his American wife, as well as by the
Americans and the Israelis whom are now British-successors as the
protectors and guarantors of this last remaining Hashemite throne.
Despite all the propaganda otherwise, despite all American and British
efforts otherwise, the "Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan" is tettering --
not at the top but rather at its foundations. Fully 30% of Jordanians
are unemployed. The Muhabarat, the secret police, are omnipresent;
repressession and intrique everywhere. The small and incestuous
Jordanian elite that surrounds Hussein have drained the country into
their own bank accounts, decimated the once growing middle class, and
today preside over a growing majority population that is both
impoverished and Palestinian. It is for these reasons Hussein of
Amman found himself "supporting" Saddam of Baghdad at the time of the
Gulf War just a few years ago, lest he be overthrown.
The betting man of the 1990s needs to think long and hard about the
reign of Abdullah II, the great grandchild of the Abdullah, son of
Hussein of Mecca, who cannivingly traded a throne in the desert for
the area west of the Jordan now known as Israel; and who then fell to
the assassins bullet while "praying" in the very Jerusalem his heir
was to then lose for the Arabs and the Muslims.
