Right now the richest people in the United States are the news industry tycoons, including the heads of Microsoft and Apple. Internet and software technology patents let the U.S. easily earn an endless supply of money because the whole world has to use American software and Internet, a tribute of money to the U.S. Now the Internet is attracting a lot of advertising, causing traditional print media to lose a lot of revenue generated by advertising and putting it on the verge of death. The American political parties are always requiring contributions from these consortia. After taking office, they naturally want to reward their backers in regards to international policy; then the news consortia work for them like horses and are loyal to them like dogs.

The news consortia requested freedom of information on the Internet. Because of the invasion of other countries and controlling other countries’ regime changes, the U.S. government immediately needs to respond to the summons of the boss. Today, because of the need for economic recovery, the U.S. is in need of new markets. North Africa and the Middle Eastern countries are long-term closed states with low consumption patterns. But they have finally become the prey of the United States.

The United States Is Struggling for the Market with a Bloody Coup

Today, the Internet is a kind of power; through its control over its content and distribution channels, the United States can control the world, trafficking the American style of life and consumption. Then the cash will come rolling in. Google’s previous phase of putting pressure on China hit a wall, but only because of China’s strong Internet competition. Computer technology holds a lot of weight; Google, encountering strong competition in China, finally lost the Internet market and retreated with its tail between its legs. But compared to other weak, small countries, the U.S. can say it’s as easy as spreading some mustard. In North Africa and the Middle East, a “Jasmine Revolution” has been launched, which is just Americans causing bloodshed in other countries and the United States gaining the market.

This is a bloody revolution and it is absolutely not a sudden occurrence, but three years in the making carrying out a sophisticated deployment. According to the British “Daily Telegraph,” on April 6, 2008, more than 100,000 Egyptian online users decided to join Facebook and support the Al Mahalla al Kubra workers’ strike. This campaign turned into a nationwide strike and also became the driving force of the April 6th youth movement.

The United States has a very sensitive sense of smell. Hosni Mubarak had been in power for some time now and the people of Egypt’s livelihoods had withered. The United States immediately realized that Egypt is a place where they can test the market. The United States immediately drew upon these Egyptian youth organizations, and at the beginning of December 2008, some of them were invited to the United States to go to New York and meet with youth leaders from around the world. Their meeting was attended by 17 youth organizations from 15 different countries. During this meeting, the Americans launched an alliance organization with covert U.S. support for dissidents in Egypt to teach them the ways and means to seize power.

The secret was “the use of digital internet technology to promote freedom and justice and to reject violence, extremism and repression to set up a new regime.” This way is both fast and good, very suitable for Egypt. Egypt’s youth sports organization, complying with American support, was moved and determined to revolt. The “April 6th Organization” three years earlier had promised Washington it would organize a regime change campaign in 2011. In regards to the strategy and technology, how could they gain support for this ambitious plan? Sending out people and money, American advisors are in the background giving ideas while Egyptians are getting shot. Facebook, Google, YouTube, MTV and other American companies, as well as the American government, are training young successors at Columbia University’s Law School to be directly involved in the founding of these alliances.

Chaos in Africa, the United States is doomed

The youth involved in transmitting messages and organizing are already involved in politics and were already in the country operating a presidential election. Obama, as a black candidate, took advantage of the U.S. financial crisis with one word — “change” — to rewrite the history of only white men being president. The U.S. has over 200 years of democratic tradition, and with a two-party-dominated insurance system, the government is complete. When changing to a new president, nothing can go wrong. But the “Jasmine Revolution” is facing different conditions in different African countries and is having different outcomes. First is bloodshed, then chaos. Two or three decades are not easy to recover from. Because there are many religious followers in Africa, many political parties, tribal separatism, economic and cultural backwardness, and a large illiterate population, the bottom-up seizure of power will become a precedent. Every small hilltop will follow suit; having tasted the bone marrow, the longing for its savor grows.

Why not seize power with such a low cost? No matter which faction comes to power, all are lacking politicians and the economic livelihood of the people. They are all in the minority, and it will be difficult to pacify the situation so the government will fall apart. The result will be an evolution into Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan or Somalia, where extremist terrorist groups rose to power by recruiting the impoverished and using hatred for the government. Support for the “Jasmine Revolution” and a behind-the-scenes power is the Yankees. The U.S. and Israel have joined together to bully the Arab countries and have left lots of tooth marks, which have also resulted from 50 years of favor and hatred, and Arabs having deep shame because of their lack of military power and 9/11.

North Africa and the Middle East have become a powder keg. By instigating the start of the bloodshed, the U.S. was caught in the mud but in the end escaped unharmed. From today onward, the U.S. will have to nurture support for these regimes and will also have to face the basics: Osama bin Laden’s rancor. The U.S. must eat the fruit of its own doings and suffer the pain. Middle Eastern oil is not that profitable; the war in Iraq is a good lesson.


美在北非煽動流血必自吃苦果
蕭 何
 美國現在最發財的就是信息工業的大亨,微軟和蘋果的老闆富甲一方,是世界上最富有的人,互聯網及軟件技術專利使美國很輕易地賺取源源不絕的金錢,全世界都要使用美國的軟件設備和美國的互聯網,以金錢進貢美國。現在互聯網吸納了大量的廣告,使得傳統的文字傳媒失去了廣告來源,奄奄一息。美國政黨一直需要大財團的捐款,上台之後,自然要酬謝金主,在國際政策上為這些信息大財團效犬馬之勞。信息財團要求互聯網信息自由,入侵別國政治,控制別國的政權更迭,美國政府立即響應老闆的召喚。美國當今需要經濟復甦,正需要開拓新的市場,北非和中東長期處於封閉狀態和低消費模式,終於成為了美國的獵物。
美國為爭取市場煽動流血政變
 到今天,互聯網是一種權力,美國控制住互聯網的內容和發佈渠道,就可以控制住世界,販賣美式生活方式和消費方式,接著就是財源滾滾。谷歌前一階段向中國施壓碰了壁,只是因為中國的互聯網競爭力強,電腦技術很有斤,谷歌遇到強勁對手,最後在中國大陸失去了互聯網市場,灰溜溜輸了。但對於其他比較弱小的國家,美國可說是易如拾芥,在北非和中東掀起的「茉莉花革命」,就是美國人煽動別國流血、美國取得市場的變態嗜血實驗。
 這一個流血的革命,並不是突然發生,而是在三年前就進行了精密的部署。根據英國《每日電訊報》報道,2008年4月6日,超過10萬名埃及線民決定通過「臉書」(FACEBOOK)社交網站支持大邁哈萊市的工人罷工,這場運動隨後發展為全國性罷工。這也成為「4月6日」青年運動成立的推動力。美國很有敏感的嗅覺,穆巴拉克當權久矣,民生凋弊,美國立即發覺埃及是一個可以動刀的地方,美國立即拉攏這些埃及青年組織,2008年12月初,他們中的一些人受美國之邀,前往紐約與來自全球的青年領袖見面,到美國紐約之後,他們參加會議的有15國的17個青年組織。在會議上,美國人發起了建立一個聯盟組織,美國秘密支持了埃及的異見者,向他們傳授了奪取政權的方式和方法,其秘訣就是「利用數碼互聯網技術推動自由和公平,反對暴力、極端主義和壓迫,建立新政權」,這種手段又快又好,非常適合埃及。埃及的青年運動組織心動了,答應償報美國的支持,決心起事,「4月6日組織」3年前向華盛頓承諾在2011年組織「政權更替」運動。
 如何在策略上、科技上支持這個野心勃勃的計劃呢?就是派人派錢,美國顧問在後面出主意,埃及人出手。臉書、谷歌、YouTube、MTV等美國公司以及為美國政府培養年輕接班人的哥倫比亞大學法學院直接參與了該聯盟的建立。
非洲天下大亂美國在劫難逃
 傳遞訊息和組織青年人捲入政治的方法早已經在國家的總統選舉中運作了一次。奧巴馬以一個黑人候選人身份,趁著美國的金融危機,一句「改變」,就改寫了白人當總統的歷史。美國有兩百年民主傳統,又有兩黨制的保險制度,治國班子齊全,換總統並不會出亂子。但「茉莉花革命」面對非洲不同的國情,結局就不同了,首先要先流血,然後天下大亂,二、三十年也不容易恢復元氣。因為非州宗教派系眾多、政黨林立、部族割據、經濟文化落後、文盲人口眾多,自下而上奪權,此例一開,各個山頭都會仿效,食髓知味,何不低成本亂中奪權?任何一派上台,都缺治國人才,經濟民生一籌莫展,都是少數派,難以統一大局,政治將四分五裂。結果,必演變為伊拉克、伊朗、阿富汗、索馬里,極端恐怖組織趁勢而起,利用貧窮和仇恨招兵買馬,對付支持「茉莉花」政權的幕後老細美國佬。美國、以色列聯手欺壓阿拉伯國家,牙齒印甚多,是半世紀的恩仇,阿拉伯人深受其辱,軍力不足,「九一一事件」亦由此而起。
 北非中東現已成火藥桶。美國以教唆挑動流血開始,卻身陷泥沼,最後難逃一劫。今後美國就要哺育支持這些政權,也要面對基地、拉登之類的冤仇,自食其果,飽受煎熬。中東的石油並不是那麼好賺的,伊拉克戰爭就是一個很好的前車之鑑。
