Engdahl: Arab Spring a western ploy to control Eurasia

[MrrrMagoo]

3) IMO the only country in the middle east where true democrasy can have a chance to be established is in Iran with a revolution by the iranian people. This since most of the young iranian people know that the true problem of there country is Islam and there goverment!Iran prior to 1979 was a country proud of its Zoroastrian-old-persian-empire culture based on Zorostrian values and in modern times also democratic values! - Hence, there is hope for a democratic Iran!

[starmanskye]

@MrrrMagoo -- I'd like to suggest that Islam is only a 'problem' in Iran because of the contradictions posed by Shiite fundamentalism & the obstacle it is for the public's popular demands for a secular, democratic, progressive state. But that issue was caused by US's venal hypocrisy & treachery in sabotaging Iran's democracy in 1954 & supporting the Shah's violent, repressive despotism -- and since reinforced by US's malicious scheming & stiff-necked regional intransigence viz divide-&-rule.

[MrrrMagoo]

@starmanskye: "But that issue was caused by US's venal hypocrisy & treachery in sabotaging Iran's democracy in 1954 & supporting the Shah's violent, repressive despotism" - Perhaps, partly, but EVEN MORE SO due to the revolution in 1979 which initally was supposed to be an action to gain freedom from the shah. However, instead the revolution was "occupied", so to speak, and taken over by an Islamic movment and the ayatollah khomeini and five six years later the IRI of iran.....

[MrrrMagoo]

@starmanskye:....was fully established, with the chador as a compulsory outdoor garmet for women. The was cruel in ways in his time but the ayatollahs and Imams of IRI in the late 80:s, the 90:s. 00:s and today are much worse then the shah was. The shah wanted for exple to grant iranain passports to the Zoroastrians in India so that the could travel in and out of Iran. - Do you think the ayatollahs and mullahs of Iran would have ever granted that, even less suggested it???

[doctorshanab]

@MrrrMagoo seems like you forgot the first gulf war between Iran and Iraq directly after the revolution which lasted for 8 years with the suport of americans to that mad man Saddam and some other european and ME nations too. i am not saying Iran is the best system there is, but at the very least it is party due to the US butting in their buisness so often.

[MrrrMagoo]

2) Before these revolutions the islamic laws controled these countries were moderat but now by these revolutions and the islamic laws (sharia) well be tightened and elevated, hence more extreme and more un-democratic and more inhuman! And when islamistic groups/ parties (such as the muslim brotherhood) now are geting increasing power these counties goverments will become a big threat to the west!

[MrrrMagoo]

1) It is strange that the question she put at 4:25 is even needed! - "Have they (the countries that have conducted revolutions) become more democratic? Are people soo naive to think that the arab spring-revoultions will lead to democrasy in these countries?? :-O In a true-muslims domninated country that conducts revolution the only change that is made is from a dictator-controlled dictatorship to a theocracy (Islam) controlled dictatorship! There will be no democrasy in islamic these countries.

[EuroNoobz]

it's a no-brainer, Europe will drop the US & choose the East because that's where our energy comes from..

[restoresoundmoney]

And people still think 19 "Arab" hijackers pulled off 9/11? With the U.S. now having 19 (!) airbases in Afghanistan & a military base bigger than the Vatican in Iraq? Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, etc, etc.? OMG.

[banzaimotorcross]

Glasgow you are 100% right on. it's not hard to see if people would do alittle research .once you under stand the basics it stands out like a sore thumb and every time you turn on the news you see the lie's right away.. rest of the msm news is nothing more than a distraction ... Thing are going to be really BAD PPL. In the coming years and IT will never ever be the same.. PREPARE .gold silver food get out into the country or a cabin if you can. drill 4 water. NEED TOBE OFF THE GRID 100%

[AWAREOFTRUTHdotCOM]

Go to AWAREOFTRUTH. COM---For the true knowledge.

[wheelsafire18]

Yes, this is all an organized effort to extend control, but Engdahl seems to miss the bigger picture. The United States is being used as a vassal by the globalist elites to bring about a New World Order. The Euro and Dollar will be replaced by the IMF Bancor. The One World Government will be a Chinese style tyranny with the wealthy elites as the oligarchs. They eventually want to reduce the world population to a 500 million feudal state using General Albert Pike's plan for 3 world wars.

[enticed2zeitgeist]

You know... we could all just stop participating in this global profit machine by simply living within our means. Until we each individually decide that we don't need a brand new car, clothing, house, gadgets, etc every year we are actually the ones who enable this hunt and conquest for resources.

Also, we really need to begin stating it' not "The US" that is leading this conquest, it's the powers that be in the US. Not every US citizen is all about destroying the planet.

Ps. Im from Canada.

[phackqu]

WITH ALL THIS GREAT TECHNOLOGY, FUCK FOSSIL FUEL AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF OTHER COUNTRIES AND FIX YOUR OWN!!

[audadvnc]

Irina Galushko is quite fetching. I'll watch her anytime.

Mr. Engdahl's "breakdown of superpower" thesis smacks of truth. It's interesting that the burgeoning OWS movement was largely influenced by the fake Arab Spring initiative. Talk about the Law of Unintended Consequences.

[abdollove]

@audadvnc no it`s not fake, Arab peoples have severe grievances and they sould have had uprisings a long time ago. It is not their problem if the West wants to reap their effort and sacrifices, and I hope and think they will resist it.

[DickCheneyXX]

''Arab Spring a western ploy to control Eurasia''

It kinda still require the willingness of the locals... That is how we destroyed the soviets after all.

[GlasgowTruthGroup]

This nonsense about competing with China is such bunk. The US was responsible for building up China to be the next world power. They signed the trade treaties and trained all the industry leaders. They sold them all the bonds and the assets, and they exempted them from the taxes that are driving us into the ground. The US & the UK have nothing to compete with, and once the military's done it's job, their last heavy industry will start collapsing too. There is nothing uncertain about any of this.

[GlasgowTruthGroup]

He is correct in saying that the Arab Spring was financed and backed by the anglo-american establishment, through companies like Optor and other big NGO's, but he does not realize that the US has been designed to collapse once the job of aligning 'unmutual' countries is done. The UK built up the US, and now the US is building up China. These people never lose; they just shift bases once an empire has done its job and fulfilled its purpose. It's all out in the open for those who have eyes to see.

[inco2223]

@GlasgowTruthGroup us is building china?!!!!!!!! lol

[GlasgowTruthGroup]

@inco2223 Yep. Look at the GATT treaty, which allowed US & western corporations to emigrate wholesale to China, allowing China to become the industry manufacturer of the planet (incase you hadn't noticed). The big industry leaders in China were trained in the US & CA, then sent back. Look at all the bonds assets that were sold to China for nothing. You think this was all a 'mistake'? The CFR's own documents from the 1930's said how they would use trade and treaties to build China into an empire.

[Nieves57]

Conspiracy theories sell books.

[Mickjdubya]

Huskerbird1. yes and many no matter what idealogical belief they may hold to will jump on board.

[IgorVasilevskii]

Americans are scum, who are destroying our civilization.

International Court against these subhumans are coming.

[admiralcrash1]

@IgorVasilevskii Americans are scum?...with the same logic I say Muslims are scum. Generally speaking, right? That sounds intelligent with no hateful ignorance with-so-ever, right? You just like talking shit on the internet to see yourself type and click. THe last thing the world needs is stupid motherfuckers like you generalizing a people or culture because you lack the intelligence to understand anything different.

[CmdrSoCal]

luciferian ploy to create an islamo-fascist caliphate that will wage war on the Christians and the Jews.

[harveybirdmannequin]

The most dangerous Americans are the ones who see everything bad that is happening but then make countless excuses.

"Yeah, the USA is committing murder, waging war, I have no civil rights, and my standard of living has fallen drastically but the USA is still better than any other country."

"It's not perfect but still better than everything else" is the old cliché.

They still believe the fairy tale of the USA never doing wrong and this one time is the first and only time.

[prjerry7]

Russia is stuck on cold war policies. They said the same when we helped S. Korea exist in 51, now S. Korea is one of the wealthiest nations on earth thanks to us while millions of N. Koreans are starving under kim jon, thanks to Russia/China.

Still, we can't be hypocrites, US news was EXACTLY THE SAME, back in the 70's when USSR invaded Afghanistan we thus armed Afghanistan with weapons being used against us now.

[Torgo1969]

To paraphrase Obama's puppetmaster Zbig Brzezinski, "the barbarians must be prevented from coming together."

Some Christians think that Sowers of Discord like Brzezinski and Obama are destined for the Eighth Circle of Hell, as depicted in Dante's Inferno. And some people on this earth will not be pushed around like pawns on a Grand Chessboard. Sorry to break your rice bowl, Zbig.

[andymachdoem]

@Torgo1969

Now you speak my language my brother. I really more people like you and me to be the future leader of resistance to lead the fight against dajjal or illuminati. I really cannot wait that time will arrive it would be all out war and i will be sure to use all of my knowledge about them to do my best to slow them down from killing and enslave every single one of us. Save as many as we can and transform them into your helper and use the gorilla warfare and stealth behind the enemy line.

[MultiSamsoon]

The globalists would have financed the war machine by any means - be it using China buying US treasury bond or Tax payer money or them simply printing all the money they want. They simply pit one country against another and make gain!

[bradq]

some of us in America know that UNITED STATES INC. is causing problems around the world. unfortunately though, most do not

[jczg08alt]

Remember that Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner, Liu Xiaobo? Liu was asked what it would take for China to realize a true historical transformation. He replied: "(It would take) 300 years of colonialism (by the West)."

Funny the West would hand a Nobel prize to a worthless toadie who holds such ugly views. Let there be no confusion about the 'good' intentions of America and Europe, ever. Fuck these people.

[ApocalypticAang]

@jczg08alt "Funny the West would hand a Nobel prize to a worthless toadie who holds such ugly views. Let there be no confusion about the 'good' intentions of America and Europe, ever. Fuck these people."

It's not "funny"-- it's exactly the modus operandi (divide from the inside and conquer from the outside) of the West since "uplifting the natives" in colonial times to the liberation of Libya.

[xennelul]

UN did the same to Katanga

[jczg08alt]

America's cop mustache needs to be scalped.

[erikdblair2012]

I am on a mission to change all of this and make the liberation of nations including the USA to be a true and lasting liberation the world over

[CarlPutz]

It's too late for Russia and for many European countries as well. 50% of the Russian army is already muslim, so they will join with neighbouring muslim countries and start an uproar against Moscow instead of defending Russia's geopolitical interests.

[marobra00]

@CarlPutz 50% O.o come on! really?

[capucchan8]

no shit, the book The Grand Chessboard by Obama's professor and mentor at Columbia explains a lot of what is going on today, but those dictators were very foolish and helped to dig their own graves, none of them learned from what happened to Batista and Noriega

[djoiz1]

Almost never heard such clarity in describing the economic terrorism of those banksters

[CJBombaYe]

Some people have the priviledge of choosing to hear and see no evil; most don't. What goes up must come down. Egypt needs a military coup.

[Riddlerx333x]

I LOVE ENGDAHL!

[RaytheonPwnsYou]

@HyenaJourno Can you prove otherwise?

[roell29]

@HyenaJourno Time for you to think about getting some hearing aids since he didn't mention Israel or zionism once in the entire video.

[HyenaJourno]

@roell29 I wasn't referring to him saying anything about zionism. I'm referring to the many comments before me that do. But this guy is a well-known conspiracy theorist. He believes in the New World Order, and he doesn't believe in global warming.

[roell29]

@HyenaJourno So powerful people don't make plans in secret? Street criminals are convicted every day for conspiracies to commit crimes. What do you think intelligence agencies like the CIA do if not conspire? That's virtually they do, in addition to trying to figure out how others may be conspiring against us. The New World Order has been referred to by hundrends of top politicians, industrialists, etc. Just look up "new world order quotes".

[roell29]

Is this guy crazy too? --- "This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long... We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis, and the nations will accept the New World Order." - David Rockefeller speaking at the United Nations Ambassadors' dinner. [Sept. 23, 1994]

[lumasmel]

@BET8ON8ME Thats gotta be harsh, I cant imagine what you gotta go through. I am an Arab as well, but I live in Canada and here its not as bad as it is in America (from what I hear and see). But whatever racism I do endure cant and wont even come close to what you and the fellow arab-americans must have to live with. I hope one day we will live in a world where people wont be judged because of their race, religion, sexuality or culture.

[BET8ON8ME]

@lumasmel thanks bro i appreciate that

peace

[shadowblade145]

@BET8ON8ME This comment makes me angry. Not because people are calling you a terrorist, that's not right, but the fact that you said Americans like you mean all Americans. I would never judge you for where you're from. I'm an American.

[BET8ON8ME]

@shadowblade145i know that its the government that is doin all that

but i have to be honest with u,why don't u stop ur government form doing all that mess in other countries ?

if my government was killing civilians in other countries and is lying to us,i won't accept that

i am not stereotyping anyone because i know how bad it feels to be stereotyped

but i hate how its not big news if thousands of civilians died,when its big news if some American soldiers died, i respect both,i just want justice

[shadowblade145]

@BET8ON8ME Because some Americans, really ARE that stupid. We couldn't get a large enough force to make a difference in our government. It's not like i can just get up and leave the country either. i don't support everything they do just because i live here.

"One death is a tragedy.

Thousands is a statistic."

[leenkiss]

@BET8ON8ME I wish you luck and hope you won't be downed by the fear and hatred of these ignorants. At least the truth is out there and there are still fine people around; stick to the good and let the evil slide by to the cesspool of history.

[BET8ON8ME]

@leenkiss thank you so much

i wish all people think like u

[AllahHelpsKlitschko]

This is when Usa will claim it has collapsed, also the collapse of Usa is designed to throw China/Russia back so many year, So Israel will have no competition in the future! The Greater Israel is suppose to be the whole of the Middle east in the future!

Yes, the zionist(jews) are behind this! They have a grudge against God, so they want to piss off God so they are screwing the whole world:Physically, spiritually, mentally, intellectually etc!

They rejected Jesus Chris(PBUH)....enuf said!

[Eddiepsp]

End the Fed Bank they are the ones who are doing this.. The US Citizens are protesting at Wall Street and around the US. What do they get? The GOV trying to silent the movement by giving orders to the Police to remove the protesters. They want the banks to stop buying the politics and those who look into it want to end the fed bank. But HEY the MSM calls the protesters lazy to go get a job.

The truth is the private banks don't give a damn about anyone, they'll screw anyone to rob the people.

[AllahHelpsKlitschko]

I Warned from day 1 that Israel were behind the whole mess! Israel is pressurizing it's whore(us/uk) to spread propaganda against Iran and Pakistan and Israel is has called for Military strikes against Iran(openly) Pakistan(secretly)!

Israel is deliberately making it look like that the extremist Muslims are taking over the middle east, because in 2012 Israel will attack the middle east and try and take over it!

[SudanDawah]

But the governments in the Muslim world were already puppets....Why they need to bring new puppets?

[DoctorFJK]

@SudanDawah They started disobeying there masters, Gaddafi for example wanted gold instead of money for his oil and therefore was murdered.

[MariahCareyBest2011]

@SudanDawah

read my THUMB up comments to understand!

[leenkiss]

@SudanDawah They are the old puppets of yore. These new times call for new puppets.

[Mickjdubya]

Don't worry, they're winding up to blame the Zionists for everything, and therefore the Jews once again, all roads do lead to Rome,

[huskerbird1]

@Mickjdubya I blame the zionists, and I am not catholic, far from it, agnostic

[MakesMeAngry]

ROFL! Insane dog fucking cultists.



[hotneszzzzz1]

[illuminate1970]

He didn't answer the questions correctly. I hope more folks will see this. I am not disagreeing with him, but he mixed his answers. He really didn't answer her questions in a direct fashion. Interesting. Balance, Folks. Pay attention. This man is not coming at it from a full unbiased perspective.

Democracy does not equal economic success. Capitalism is the evil here.

Watch the interview again. He mixes things up methinks.

[UFCextra]

LOL this one time this Arabic guy heard this dude say "Arab Spring" and he told him to go fuck off ....seriously, what is so offensive about the words "arab spring" ?

[br0dskalk]

@UFCextra arab spring is what bush jr wanted to happen after the pillaging of iraq. a "wave of democracy" would spread out over the area. from a brutal occupation.

we see some parts of this to be true though, Libya, a country bombed back to the stoneage to sell new infrastructure and arms, Syria were some fake footage pop up, as in libya.

controlled democracy is easier to accept for a dumbed down homegrown public.

but naturally the people rally as they are abused.

AMERICANS ARE BRUTAL CRIMINALS & RAPISTS

[bobthechipmonk]

@Sh012222

No... the elite is.



[Theagenthollyhock]

@bobthechipmonk In my experience, the only way to deal with a rapist is by ramming a loaded gun into his/her mouth, or jabbing a very sharp blade into the neck area housing the jugular.

[Theagenthollyhock]

@bobthechipmonk Jesse Ventura exposed the wall street elite in a segment of his tv series: one smarmy zionist oligarch in his thirties basically stated that the onus lay on the people to stop his kind from raping them. No use preaching to them. No use protesting (rapists love it when the victim protests). There's only one way to deal with the fuckers, and when you're through, make sure they never have the opportunity to gain access to you again...

[Theagenthollyhock]

@bobthechipmonk All of which is consistent with the teachings of Christianity (as confirmed by the Qu'Ran). GOD intended the human being to exercise free will in a responsible manner; for the human being to stand on its own. In this sense, you are under a duty to defend against evil; NOT to allow it to mow you down. 'Turn the other cheek' was a reference to false pride, not to justify allowing evil to ruin your life. Know your enemy, and guard against the fucker with all your might.

[darkwitch5252]

This is way I watch,news other than the mainstream media in the USA. The world needs to wake up. The USA is UN and NATO. The nations in EU Union are in major trouble.The Euro is falling. America's crooks in Washington DC should of keep the manufacturing going in the USA longer so they could of made more weapons of war. Since me and family,grandchildren and other families live here,Mexico and Canada we all fear North America to South America is heading for WW3. Russia and China aren't Happy!!!!

[PullTheTricker]

If this was true, then why is China supporting invasion and colonization of Libya? Doesn't make sense! Both RT and MSM are avoiding the truth...

[iTrollhardi]

@PullTheTricker Chinese investors want to get in those resources they badly need to produce more plastic trash. They need oil, and Libya has plenty of it. China is badly dependent of the US so of course they are going to do most things the US acts on.

[dodgydodds]

@PullTheTricker beacaue they are all playing a game for the same people. us v china, just like democrats vs republicans. The powers that be control both sides. And it is all a theatre of control to bring in a new world order after ww3

[CY0PS]

Dont worry the UN troops are going to help the USA change its government too just wait

[fonkymaster]

I would to tell all arabs who want to legitimately change their governments.

DO NOT allow us to help you.

[ChristopherMarlowe]

But why did Russia and China approve the security council measure to allow a "no-fly zone" over Libya? Everyone should have known, (from a similar no-fly zone imposed over Iraq) that this would lead to strategic bombing. Bombing removes all of the country's defenses and then the vampires kill the leader.

[bkztopkilla09]

@DavidBellDrums true .. which i jus began to notice that.. but i guess there more fixated on which country that has the most influenece in the world.. thus erurope - and the one and only U.S. ..

[xpressurs]

@DavidBellDrums i will say its is the USA/europe that is baised.

all they do is bash and talk down to other countries.

russia/china have alot of catching up to do in this department.

[Dice3000]

the funny thing is that the US says that Facebook and the internet incited Arab spring, but in fact they have total control over the internet and launched the whole propaganda campaign.. Like for example not a single word from Libyan people about the NATO invasion

[kkbose]

Engdahl provides the analysis of the entire global geopolitical spectrum. One of the best interviews with him.

All roads lead to Rome. And all the world problems lead to Dollar which is the present world reserve currency.

Great interview

[BNPpatriot]

you're losing credibility RT..if you expect anyone to believe your conspiracy theory propaganda that Russia and China are being economically choked by the US you're MEGA FOOLS..who's in charge of your editorial content? - a chimpanzee?

[xpressurs]

@BNPpatriot you BNP idiot go kill youself.oh take nick Griffin with u while u are at it.

[ShadesofScorpius]

That's all very well and fine to 'hope' that Russia does anything about NATO activity, but they had their chance to vote against going into Libya (as did China) and they both abstained in their votes.

RT is invaluable to point out the wrongdoings and injustices of western powers, but make no mistake they hide the Russian ones.

Keep your sources varied.

[bunce101]

that doesnt make sense because the main uprisings were in africa(egypt, tunisia, libya) so obviously either this guys a retard or hes never seen a map in his life

[MyraiTrunks]

it was not by the U.S it was by the zionists that are controlling America.
