ANOTHER EXPOSURE OF "DEMONS AT WORK"

Whatever you read, always read it on the basis of the true Gnostic understanding you have acquired with the Keys to "What is Going on" which we have provided for you.

Through those keys, you know this is a demon-controlled world which will get far worse, not better, as time goes on, and will eventually self-destruct after the viables have been evacuated, and taken elsewhere to continue in an evil-free dimension.

These sorts of articles, which highlight Humanity's inhumanity, expose the demons clearly, and shed light on the Clearing Process I have described many times before for you. Also of interest is the fact that although the authors of such articles are genuinely interested to right the wrongs, without the True Gnostic Keys I have provided, they are merely spitting into the wind. They have no answers, because they do not have the Keys.

IRAQ SANCTIONS: What's behind them?
How they can be ended?

Why has the United States government insisted for nearly eight years on keeping sanctions on Iraq, in the most total blockade ever imposed on a country? How can this deadly blockade be ended? The February crisis in the Gulf was not really about weapons inspections, or chemical and biological weapons, or compliance with United Nations resolutions, or presidential sites in Iraq. And it's not really over. These issues were and are a smokescreen. In late February, U.S. officials admitted that they were not really concerned about Iraq's weaponry. They know the presidential sites-which are really diplomatic compounds-were not being used to conceal weapons (New York Times, Feb. 21, 1998). Iraq long ago complied with the UN resolutions required for the lifting of sanctions.

Israel, on the other hand, has never complied with UN resolutions calling for it to get out of occupied Lebanon, the occupied West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights. But this has brought no pressure from the UN or the U.S. to adhere to them. You could tell weapons and presidential sites weren't the real issues by the reactions to the agreement reached between the UN Secretary General and Iraq. Although Iraq agreed to resumption of inspections without conditions, U.S. officials were the most unhappy of anyone. What Clinton, Albright and the rest of them wanted was to hit Iraq. They had been setting the stage for a new military attack since November, maneuvering to put the blame on Iraq.

What is the real U.S. objective? In a word, domination. Domination of the Middle East, domination in particular of the Persian/Arabian Gulf region which holds two-thirds of the world's petroleum reserves. They want to make the Gulf once again a U.S. lake-as it was 40 years ago. At this time 40 years ago, the U.S. and British totally controlled the Gulf. Saudi Arabia and Iran were virtual U.S. colonies. Iraq was a neocolony of Britain, Kuwait was openly a colony, as was Yemen. Iraq's oil wealth was 100 percent owned by the British, U.S., Dutch and French. The anti-communist, anti-Arab Baghdad Pact, headed by the U.S., was based in Iraq.

But in July 1958, a social explosion took place. Unlike the Cuban Revolution, which took place six months later, the Iraqi Revolution has been largely forgotten, ignored by the media. But it shocked the ruling circles of this country.

The next day the U.S. sent 20,000 Marines to Lebanon. The British sent thousands of paratroopers into Jordan. The U.S./British reaction almost started a new world war. The U.S. and British were ready to invade Iraq and restore their puppet dictatorship. But the revolution was strong and sweeping. And the nationalist government of General Nasser warned that the United Arab Republic-a federation of Egypt and Syria-would fight to defend the Iraqi Revolution against imperialist intervention. The Soviet Union mobilized forces near its Iranian border.

The U.S and British were forced to back off. They had to recognize the reality of the Iraqi Revolution, the nationalization of Iraq's oil fields, the kicking out of British military bases. But while they had to recognize this new reality, they have never reconciled themselves to it. In the late 1980s, a new world development opened the door for the reassertion of U.S. domination throughout the strategic Gulf region. That was the disintegration and collapse of the Soviet Union. The Gulf war signaled the emergence of what is called the unipolar world, where no country is a military counterbalance to the U.S.

After the Gulf war slaughter-200,000 Iraqis killed, 147 U.S. military deaths-Iraq was placed in maximum lockdown by sanctions. The war and sanctions devastated Iraq's society and people. Today one and a half million are dead from sanctions; the country's health, education, agriculture, industry and water treatment system are in ruins.

But seven years of torture have not achieved the real U.S. objective: establishing a regime in Baghdad like the ones in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, that would accept Washington's dictates. That is why the Clinton administration and the Pentagon began preparations for a major new military strike on Iraq.

The main reason the bombing had to be put on hold was the opposition of people all over the world-including in this country, where hundreds if not thousands of demonstrations, pickets and teach-ins have taken place.

THE IRAQ SANCTIONS CHALLENGE

While the Clinton administration was forced to pull back, at least temporarily, from a new military strike, the war-by-sanctions against Iraq has continued, killing 300 Iraqis a day. The November-February war crisis created a new level of consciousness about the sanctions. As Iraq was moved off the front pages, the question for the movement became: How could the sanctions issue be pushed forward and not allowed to recede? The International Action Center (IAC) took the initiative to launch the Iraq Sanctions Challenge, together with many anti-war, community, labor, student and religious groups. The purpose of the Challenge is twofold: 1) To deliver a large quantity of life-saving medicine to the Iraqi people, and 2) To raise the level of struggle and visibility around the demand to end the sanctions altogether.

The U.S. government is more and more isolated on this issue. Anger over the death and destruction caused by this human-made disaster is growing in Arab and Islamic countries and all over the world. If the level of struggle against the sanctions escalates, it will become very difficult for Washington to sustain this policy.

The Challenge delegation has not sought a license from the U.S. government, taking the position that people have a right to deliver life-saving medicines to Iraq. If the U.S. government chooses to detain or prosecute delegation members, the delegates have announced they will put the government on trial for its illegal, immoral and inhuman policy.

Delegation activists are holding press conferences and send-off events across the country, giving an unprecedented level of visibility to the sanctions, and are planning more such events when they return. Already, many other organizations have been encouraged to come forward, expressing interest in traveling to Iraq and donating medical supplies.

What can end the sanctions? A worldwide people's movement that says NO to blockades and embargoes from Iraq to Cuba, a movement that opposes the attempts by the U.S. and Britain to recolonize much of the world.

WHOSE NATIONAL INTEREST?

When Madeleine Albright was asked about the agreement between U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and Iraq in February, she said, "We'll look at it, but if we don't like it we'll do what we think is in our national interest." But whose "national interest" is she talking about? Do poor and working people or students have an interest in war and sanctions against Iraq?

The "national interest" Clinton, Albright and Gingrich express is that of the oil companies, banks and the military-industrial complex. The corporate politicians and generals who have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to enforce a blockade that has destroyed Iraq's health care system are the same ones dismantling social programs here, from health care to education, claiming there is no money!

We do not share the same "national interest" as corporate America. Their interests and ours are diametrically opposed. They want to exploit us and the working people of the entire world more and more, while dividing us against each other, making us hate each other on the basis of nationality, or race, or sexual orientation, or religion, or whatever they can come up with.

The IAC believes that working people in the U.S. have far more in common with our sisters and brothers in Iraq, Cuba, Palestine, Indonesia and elsewhere than we do with Exxon executives, Bill Clinton or Madeleine Albright.

Solidarity requires action. Now is the time to intensify the struggle to end the sanctions against Iraq.
