Obama Using Marxist Experience to promote Muslim Expansion
Ben Barrack
Commentary by Julio Severo: The source for today’s article is the personal website of Walid Shoeat,
whom I knew firstly through WorldNetDaily, in the article “Evangelicals for
Hamas!” Later, when I wrote my article about the Palestinian Liberation
Theology, Shoebat himself provided me with essential information. My article is
this: “Palestinian
Messengers: How Christ and Christians Are Used for the Palestinian Cause.”
With this introduction, I can only say that the following text, drawn from the Shoebat
website, is extremely relevant and should be spread to all who want to
understand the roots of the modern Islamic terror:
There
are several debates when it comes to Barack Obama. One has to do with whether
he is more Marxist or more Muslim.
The answer may involve his usage of one to promote the elevation of the other.
Perhaps there is no clear-cut answer but Obama’s continued reliance on Zbigniew
Brzezinski as one of his most trusted foreign policy adivsers may
help indicate which ideology he ultimately reveres most.
Brzezinski
was born in Warsaw, Poland and watched the Russians and Nazis invade his home
country from where his father was stationed in Canada. This is believed to have
contributed very strongly to his hawkish stance when it came to the 20th
Century Soviets. While he was National Security Advisor for Carter’s entire
term, it was Brzezinski who advocated aggressive, covert action be taken
against the Soviets by supporting the Mujahideen (Taliban) with weapons.
In
1998, Brzezinski gave an interview to Le
Nouvel Observateur, a French Weekly Magazine and was surprisingly
candid:
Q: When the Soviets
justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a
secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn’t believe
them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don’t regret anything today?
B: Regret what? That secret operation was an
excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap
and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets
officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the
opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for
almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government,
a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup
of the Soviet empire.
Q: And neither do
you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism,
having given arms and advice to future terrorists?
B: What is most
important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse
of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the
liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?
Q: Some stirred-up
Moslems? But it has been said and repeated Islamic fundamentalism represents a
world menace today.
B: Nonsense! It is said that the
West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There
isn’t a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner
and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world
with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian
fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or
Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian
countries.
In a
video (http://youtu.be/pErfG5ki8D8)
from 1979 that purports to show Brzezinski speaking with Mujahideen fighters,
he can be heard telling them that God is with them:
Brzezinski
clearly miscalculated and underestimated the reach and aspirations of Islam in
1979 and in 1998. Does he still?
Though
Brzezinski rightly expressed concerns that the ‘Arab Spring’ could turn into
the ‘Arab Winter’, he essentially advocated a repeat of his 1979
Afghanistan strategy in Libya, saying about the prospect of removing Muammar
Gadhafi:
“I
concluded that, if we didn’t act it would be worse.”
How’s
that working out? After Gadhafi was overthrown, four Americans were murdered in
Benghazi and the U.S. abandoned its embassy in Tripoli. Those of us with much
less worldly experience knew it was a bad idea. How
and why would Brzezinski get it so wrong?
Pro-Muslim
Brotherhood Senator John McCain – who referred to the Mujahideen in Libya as
his “heroes” – expressed tremendous excitement in 2011 at the prospect of the
Arab Spring expanding into Russia and China. Check out what he said at the 2011

Brzezinski
has a history of supporting Islamic fundamentalists over Russia. His reason for
doing so in 1979 – based on his 1998 interview – is that the Soviet empire was
a greater threat than “some stirred-up Moslems”. Indications are that he may
still hold this view. Forget whether his position is right or wrong and
consider what it says about Obama’s position – Muslim over Russian.
Eurasia is the ”grand chessboard”
on which America’s supremacy will be ratified and challenged in the years to
come. The task facing the United States, he argues, is to manage the conflicts
and relationships in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East so that no rival
superpower arises to threaten our interests or our well-being.
Over
the years, Brzezinski sided with the Muslim Chechens against the Russians and
pressed the Clinton administration to be more aggressive in helping the Muslims
in Bosnia.
Much
has changed since 1997 but Brzezinski’s anti-Russian streak is still firmly in
place. When Russia invaded Crimea, Brzezinski was extremely critical of the
move, writing in an op-ed:
Putin’s
thuggish tactics in seizing Crimea offer some hints regarding his planning. He
knew in advance that his thinly camouflaged invasion would meet with popular
support from the Russian majority in Crimea. He was not sure how the thin and
light Ukrainian military units stationed there would react, so he went in
masked like a Mafia gangster.
Brzezinski
doesn’t seem to talk like that about Turkey or Erdogan.
In
1998, Brzezinski wrote, “Without
Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire” while arguing for expanding
NATO to include Ukraine. As Shoebat.com has reported, one
of the consequences of Russia’s invasion of Crimea has been a deadline being
set by Putin for all Islamic texts to be turned over.
There is clearly a fixation on the
part of Brzezinski that controlling Eurasia is key to U.S. dominance. However,
what he’s clearly been missing is that Turkey is the country that has been
seeking Eurasian dominance while NATO countries continue to view it as an ally.
Whether
you agree with Brzezinski’s positions or not misses the point. The point is
that the incredibly Muslim-friendly Obama seems to.
How
does all this square with Frank Marshall Davis, a confirmed member of the
Soviet Russian Communist Party USA (CPUSA) being a childhood mentor of Obama
for so many years? Vernon Jarrett, the father-in-law of Obama’s closest and
most trusted advisor Valerie Jarrett was a close colleague of Davis when the
two lived in Chicago years before Obama’s birth. Obama himself boasted about hanging out with Marxists
while at Occidental Community College, reportedly based on the mentoring of Davis.
Brzezinski
– who would likely despise Davis – continues to be a major influence on Barack
Obama.
So
does Davis, but not in the way many might think. Obama’s reliance on Brzezinski
would seem to indicate the President is relying on the tactics of his childhood
mentor to achieve different ends, in part by relying on a resource who likely
has sheer animus for that mentor.
