Re: Power in the South: Simplification of world situations is the hardest. One simplification, (not an oversimplification), is: Aqaba is in Dallas, Hadrians Wall is in New Bedford, and The only road back to Jerusalem is through Gulu. These are just broad, but useful, geographic images from history.
One: Aqaba is in Dallas: We control the world by using navies to control the flow of oil. Technology has turned on itself. The AK-47 now trumps the carrier based battle group. This is now admitted to even in the prestigious Naval Institutes magazine: Proceedings. Like Lawrences decision to cross the desert and attack Aqaba the guns are trained on the sea and cannot be turned. This is why Chavez visits the Kalashnikov factory in Russia. It is to reinforce the knowledge of this. (BTW the 47 stands for 1947!) Two: Hadrians Wall is in New Bedford. Most all colonialism, the contacts, were based on the contacts in the first world-wide industry; whaling. Even in the American Revolution the seaports were bonded to the international bankers- New York City remaining Tory until the end. Mao knew it was far more important to take the countryside. Once he won he moved all universities inland. We have reached that limit. Normal war is impossible throughout most of Latin American and a good portion of Africa. In vast areas of South American the cities are in the high-ground- at altitudes for better temperature. In one case a mere squad of men held up all transportation to a city by attacking a nexus of roads through the jungle for a full month. Many of these areas can also exist better without electric or oil. Not well , but exist. War is war. Another way of saying this: The South is less dependent on resources such as oil and very rich in them. Much of our oil, for example, comes from Venezuela and Angola. Three: The only road back to Jerusalem is through Gulu. This is really coming about at present. Jerusalem here is used to represent a world coming together on critical strategic issues. It really is in progress. Even the Christian Science Monitor admitted to the CIAs focus on Gulu, (north of Kampala), as a listening post. We must accept a collecting Africa. They are to be the breadbasket of the world. (Perhaps not so oddly this too has just been touted by the Christian Science magazine format.) As Africa collects into one power it both reinstates the Peace of Westphalia concept, (more than just Chad and Sudan), but wisely leaves the Gulu and LRA area for last. Like the United States island jumping in the South Pacific in the war against Japan. LRA not on the maps but for a long time an African country bigger than the Iberian peninsula covering areas north of Gulu, teensy slices of Ethiopia, large portions of southern Sudan, parts of CAR and big hunks of the Congo. Both Turkey and China are very ahead in understanding this. Now most critical international meets are in Istanbul, (not Ankara!!). Chinese language teachers in hot demand both in Africa and all over South America including land-locked Bolivia. As this is new to some will repeat with slightly different slant: Aqaba is in Dallas. Hadrians Wall is in New Bedford. And the ONLY road back to Jerusalem is through Gulu. Aqaba is in Dallas: The present control of the world is mainly the Western worlds sea power protecting the oil business. From the demonstration of General Van Riper, etc, this has finally been admitted. The NYTimes did so in editorial but was careful to use the phrase mid ocean navy and omitting the terms blue water navy and littoral. You might be able to research this by Googling littoral and navy but you would need wade through tons of mil. babble. To simplify this just realize that the AK-47 has trumped the cruise missile. Eventually low-tech beats high-tech but it is a slow process. The image comes from WW I and Lawrence of Arabias surprise attack on Aqaba across the assumed impassable desert as the guns of Aqaba were trained on the sea and could not be turned. Dallas represents oil control. Hadrians Wall is in New Bedford: We are still enmeshed in a postcolonial period worldwide. In general this shows itself on the first worldwide sea trade, the whaling industry. To a great extent, (worldwide), there is tension between the port areas and inland areas. New York City stayed Tory until the end of the American Revolution. Mao saw this and kept his Long March inward ignoring the seaports until the end. Even after that revolution he saw the continuing psychological danger and moved all colleges and universities inward to the countryside. Areas in northern latitudes where technology is more necessary, (cold climates etc.), inland areas are reduced to inward frustration. They are far more a real power south. Those land areas more vested in ports tend to break off. Portugal is to Spain as the Benelux nations and old Holland is to Germany as the real Phoenicians were to the then Turk mass. (New Bedford considered center of whaling industry.) The only road back to Jerusalem is through Gulu: Jerusalem represents a tad more than just coming together of the mass mind, (heart of world). It is still greatly iconic, archetypal. Gulu, north of Kampala, is the historical line between Uganda and the LRA. The continued war in Africa, a good deal instigated from the outside for control, has led to a situation similar to the Treaty of Westphalia, (1648), in Europe. Most of our international law/agreements/working-arrangements rest on that agreement. (As well does the acceptance of Switzerland as an international state/money-state haven as in prior posts.) For example the Geneva Convention is basically a reestablishment of Westphalia. The entire UN is basically Westphalia. Gulu represents the final hurdle in exiting post-colonialism. You can see Africa following Westphalia at present almost to a t. (Understand that the principle has predicted this for years!) Normal arch-enemies are getting together supporting state, not religion or tribal or other, as the final rule and the only entity allowed military power. It is by Wesphalia that non-uniformed combatants can be summarily executed. You must see this in perspective of the 30 Year War preceding Westphalia to understand that as horrid as war is to add religion to it would create ten times the chaos. The Reformation bloodshed is almost beyond our present imagination. As in: Religions dont do that . Yes, they sure would if we let them. Westphalia put almost an end to that. Therefore state, (but state in inner African terms), is being reinforced as accepted power. For this natural enemies can agree as the French supported Chad president and Sudan just did. (Surprised many.) To give this perspective you could almost say the only road back to Jerusalem is through Bogota. Bogota seems out of place as assumed to be fighting rebellions and controlled mainly by gringo drug enforcement. But money is money. The army and rebels fire in the air from time to time and hand in body counts. The cocaine travels out. Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela and on and on seem to scream at Bogota. But seems their coke funnels through the same channels. Money is money. Glance but dont stare. In this respect you can say a final coming together occurs toward the end with the Colombia apparent odd country out and the state problems north of Gulu. The religion/state re military problem was creatively solved by Turkey following WW I. Even with all the present problems see how much the Ataturk and his views are still respected there. The Young Turks followed Westphalia. Just check the present attitudes there with this as most likely a decent reflection: (Read the food engineer, Ayse, slowly.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8538614.stm Although I have written about the true international use of the Mossad, (to help keep secret international non-use-of-nuke agreements honest), few can grasp it even though it has the best logic. The power of TV is mainly emotional. Those viewing vibrate together in a hidden cult that is not admitted to. In recent years that situation has gotten out of hand. Problem is that at present there is nothing to replace it with. It therefore still IS necessary. Here we deal with the way things are, not the way they should be or could be. This is known, partially out. It is the secret card that Ahmadinejad keeps referring to that the never names. It is why Turkey quietly advocates for a replacement for the UN, as the Security Council is mainly a way of quasi legitimatising the secret agreement. What I am giving is the base, super mundane map perspective. It is the base map on which other things are over-laid. From this I see less war, more rumors of, and a slow painful plod, plod, plod, plod. Perhaps it is all in the game but now the game is in all. It is a sort of finalizing. We are headed toward the legitimatising of two seeming opposing forces, that of small areas and that of international business. Some aspects of business need be managed internationally such as shipping and communications, from mail to rail; there is no way around this. I can see smaller areas, states, with more economic power but at the same time about 4 internationally monitored corporations, (almost a serve-the-public-and-be watched), handling base international necessities. With that in place ONeals dictum, (All politics is local), takes over in spades. The states will replace countries. Power of states go to counties and power of counties go back to towns. Both can be done. Seems like two locomotives headed toward each other on the same track to smash , but it will work. Because it must.
