by Eugene E. Narrett, Ph.D.
The title is a slight exaggeration that makes an important point: the war of resistance to global jihad can be won by just a few Western states without using their massive advantage in armaments except for deterrent purposes. Here's the historical precedent that was not taken and then the contemporary 'weapon' at hand that can put the jihad-genie back in its demonic lamp. During the last twenty-five years of the Cold War, the Soviet Bloc was maintained not by its arms but by American and Canadian wheat. That's right: so massive was the dominance of the diplomatic corps of the Western powers, so complete was their sway over the media and their higher education echo-chamber of useful idiots that it was the "enlightened consensus" that "peaceful co-existence" was the only alternative to apocalypse. Actually, foreshadowing current dynamics, maintaining the Communist threat kept alive the sense of crisis (before there was a genuine Soviet nuclear threat beginning around 1970) that allowed the politicians that front for major corporate interests to mobilize society and terrify citizens into paying for a war that could have been ended anytime from 1946 -66 with minimal casualties to the West. The Communists wrecked their economy, especially their agricultural basis and could not begin to feed their people. Withholding American and Canadian wheat would have ended the Cold War before the Russians ever developed the ICBM capabilities that gave them the chance to do significant damage to the West before being utterly destroyed. How much the peoples of Eastern Europe (and most Russians) would have given had America, 1) massively bombed Soviet Russia from 1946 - 60 when our air and missile long-range delivery superiority was enormous, or 2) withheld the food gifts that kept the homicidal and imperialist tyranny afloat till taken down in the late 1980s. Me and millions of other kids wouldn't have done all those drills of scrunching up under our desks or filing down into the AV room in the school basement. Entrepreneurs like Bohemian Grove top-dog Nellie Rockefeller wouldn't have made a fortune promoting "bomb shelters" in the '50s. But unless you've got a terrified population they won't pony up big tax money for "defense" or tolerate the whittling away of civil liberties... So it is today. The British awakened the jihad-genie in the 1920s to use against the Jews, mainly, but also to create the chronic crises that would "require" a global security state as so neatly described by Huxley (1931), more grimly and accurately by Orwell (1948) and promoted by the Utilitarians from the 1830s: a strictly 'empirical' elite that would oversee all society from its "Panopticon," not unlike the floating eye atop the Masonic pyramid, and constantly adjust the levers of state to secure, ostensibly, "the greatest good for the greatest number" ---- as the seers would define it. And here we are in the "War on Terror" with the leaders of the "free" West so reluctant to name their enemy and to fight it, genuinely (a phenomenon we have just witnessed with Hezbollah, sworn to annihilate Israel while the Hellenist leaders of that state refused to fight). But the point is that the West need not mobilize or use its massive superiority in weaponry to squash jihad and put the genie back in its box for centuries. THEY NEED OUR FOOD FAR MORE THAN WE NEED THEIR OIL. The Europeans, Japanese, Indians and Chinese may SEEM to need it more than we but that's illusory. Norway, England, Mexico, Venezuela, let alone the United States and Russia have vast reserves and untapped quantities of oil. Things might slow down for a few weeks but by then, without food from North America and Europe the Islamic nations would be starving. This non-military victory is a question of political will and public awareness of its possibility. Just as Israel need only shut off the electricity, food and water in order to subdue the "Palestinians" [sic] and cause most of them to flee to their Arab brethren, so America, Canada and Europe need only stop exporting food to the Umma to bring jihad to its knees. The kamikazes among them will be dealt with quickly on the principle of answering each terror incident by subtracting an Islamic city from the face of the earth. One month and WW III is over. The peace crowd really ought to get behind this approach. It's ecologically balanced, ergnomic and very low cost. If Ralph Nader was sane, even he would like it. Now that this clean strategy is public, our leading politicians and diplomats have an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to world peace and transformation of Islam into that religion of peace we've heard so much about. No more fruit, bread, meat, vegetables, and no more trips to Vegas, Atlantic City and Foxwoods, Mahmoud. Grow your own food. What, you can't? You won't? Sorry. End of Jihad. PS and by the way: in the 1950s and '60s, national socialist Islamic states were permitted by the West, primarily Britain's and America's corporate-diplomatic elites to "nationalize" the oil industry and vast infrastructure that was conceived, designed, manufactured, built, connected, set to work, from drilling, and pipelines, to harbors, tankers and refineries. This "nationalization" is a cute word for THEFT by a state, usually an artificial, Empire-coined artifice like "Iraq" or "Kuwait" or "Libya." It is high time for the Western powers who applied genius, sweat equity, lives spent engineering and manufacturing to create and run the oil industry TAKE IT BACK, possess, police and use it for the citizens of the nations whose institutions supported their creative efforts. The sheiks, thugs, drug-dealers, slave-traders, and dictators of OPEC can crawl back into their holes and take jihad with them. It is this simple: the kidnappers and murderers of civilians, the partisans of the global caliphate and submission to Shari'a get NO MORE FOOD from those for whom they have such genocidal contempt and the West TAKES BACK ITS OIL INDUSTRY. No more good cop/ bad cop regime with Islamo-fascist despots. And the War on Terror, WW III will be over and won within a month with two-three more months for mopping up spills here and there. And then instead of a Global Security State and "Homeland Security" (loss of civil liberties for western folks who conceived of civil liberties) and an endless war of attrition, there will be genuine peace and all the blessings of abundance and prosperity and trust it brings. Let's put it on the agenda now. It's getting late.
