OIL AND THE SUEZ CANALAs of September 2013, US Secretary of Accompaniment John Kerry is apparently boning up Putin's Russian chess arena gambits and tactics, but his Accompaniment Dept's goals in the Middle East, in the 1950s included the hot activity of award an Islamic Billy Graham.
US historian John Buescher says the goals of U.S. adopted activity in the region, during the 1950s, as including the chase to acquisition ablaze Islamic preachers able to cut the political arena abroad from fast-rising and alarming Arab nationalist army colonels like Syria's Husni al-Zaim and Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser. At the aforementioned time, the U.S. was allure Nasser as a “bulwark adjoin communism”.
The ambition was to assure and serve American and western European admission to oil in the Middle East, attention what was again the capital Suez Aqueduct avenue for oil carriage and added barter shipments. In Syria, the acceleration of Islamic preachers could edgeless Arab activity to the again adolescent accompaniment of Israel. Additionally on the agenda, the US Accompaniment Dept and CIA were alive to end British colonial aphorism in the area, in band with the American ideal of abandon bidding by the Atlantic Charter, and accredit American oil companies to bend into aloft British-dominated oil concessions.
The Accompaniment Department of the 1950s saw Egypt as the accustomed baton in the Arab apple – and the capital focus of Soviet Union assailment and abeyant Chinese expansion, and accordingly formed to accomplish it the capital Arab ally. The gameplan set out to animate pro-Western and modernizing elements in Egyptian society. This abnormally focused the army and airforce – but was interpreted as additionally defective ablaze Islamic ulema to whip up what was not yet alleged “the Arab street”.
Eisenhower's Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles believed that Egypt and added bounded countries would artlessly abide a two-step process. First, base and anachronous regimes would be casting aside, mostly by aggressive coups additionally including “non-destructive” aggressive coups, and be replaced by absolute regimes that would cull together, affiliate and adapt the country's assorted factions. Second, afterwards that, with aggressive aid and bread-and-butter abetment from the US, and barter ties with the blow of the world, the Arab countries would appear through a peaceful evolutionary activity as full-fledged democracies, no best absorbed in the ulemas.
THE REAL WORLD WAS DIFFERENTAfter President Roosevelt's affair with King Farouk of Egypt, anon afterwards his affair with King Fahd of Saudi Arabia at the end of Apple War II, American diplomats assured Egyptian leaders the U.S. accurate the country's efforts at self-determination. This meant accepting rid of Britain, to Egyptians, but by a baleful confounding the US activity was firstly to assure Egypt from antipathetic subversion. Addition baleful absurdity was to see the Muslim Brotherhood – which supplied the ablaze ulema who helped abate Nasser - as a communist-type political organization, which it was not at the time. This affected the Brotherhood and Nasser into anniversary others arms, for a continued analytical moment.
Another capital botheration as Buescher covers in detail in his appear works, was that the assorted goals of US activity appear Egypt were generally at complete allowance with one another. One aloft archetype was that the US was affectionate to Egypt absent to chargeless itself from British colonial rule--just like the US had done—but the US was affiliated with Britain to argue the Soviet Union and the already-increasing Chinese bread-and-butter amplification in Europe, Asia and SE Asia. Despite this, US diplomats consistently emphasized their abutment for abounding Egyptian abandon aback affair the country's political and aggressive leaders. In added words they lied.
King Farouk, like Nasser afterwards him was affected to adjust himself with factions, including the -to-be banned Muslim Brotherhood that accepted an actual abolishment of the accord that accustomed Britain to ascendancy the Suez Aqueduct alike afterwards Britain had pulled all its troops out of Egypt. The King was affronted by America's abhorrence to abutment Egyptian demands for Britain to carelessness Egypt and abdicate the Suez Aqueduct immediately. To the US, it seemed that political ability in Egypt was rapidly actuality besmirched by nationalist and left-wing pressures and that US access was activity "down the drain". The abhorrence of Islamic access – the Muslim Brotherhood – was downplayed or ignored.
The US fabricated addition huge mistake. It took the radicalization of Egyptian backroom as acceptation the US charge acquisition and bind the advancing winners. Historians ability altered abstracts about the admeasurement of the captivation of American diplomats and the CIA at this juncture, but it is acceptable they met and accurate annoyed Egyptian aggressive admiral and promised them that if there was a aggressive coup, the U.S. would not argue it and would anticipate any British activity to it - as continued as U.S. nationals were accustomed to leave in assurance and their acreage was protected.
["708.1"]Egypt | Islamic Design House | Islamic Design House JeddahThe accomplishment occurred in July 1952 aback Accepted Mohamed Naguid and Colonel Gamel Abdel Nasser emerged as the accomplishment leaders. The aggressive government anon asked for U.S. aggressive and bread-and-butter aid. The US initially aghast at this, but aback President Eisenhower and his Secretary of Accompaniment Dulles took ability in 1953, Dulles and his brother Allen, again administrator of the CIA, bound provided aggressive admiral and accessories to the Egyptian military. Sometimes operating clandestinely, the Accompaniment Department and the CIA gave Egyptian leaders, abnormally Nasser, intelligence training and abutment for abrasion and abstinent centralized political rivals and operating advertising campaigns.
By 1954 Nasser had belted out Naguid. During the tumult surrounding this, Nasser absolutely banned the capital activity to his “secularist and nationalist government”, the Muslim Brotherhood, afterwards a apparently staged assassination attack adjoin him during one of his speeches. At the time, Nasser was cutting bulletproof accouterment supplied by the CIA. Accessible accord for Nasser surged, acceptance him to annihilate his activity – headed by the Muslim Brotherhood.
THE UNRAVELING STARTSAs now aboveboard appear by apple media, aback August 18, Egypt's military-led government is "reviewing" its cardinal relationships with the US and added Western governments analytical of its crackdown on Islamist protestors, deepening the bisect amid the Obama administering and Cairo. While Saudi Arabia is abrupt in calling the collapsed protestors “terrorists and haters”, Turkey is abrupt in calling them victims of a “criminal aggressive coup”. Qatar was additionally a aloft advocate of the Mohamed Morsi government. Baleful cracks acquire opened advanced for the declared 'Pax Americana' operating in the Middle East, of which Egypt and Israel are, or were the two Near Eastern pillars, and Turkey is or was a longstanding NATO pillar. The petro-states were afterwards added as accessible sources of allotment for “regime change adventures” in the region.
In a account that could acquire been issued in 1954 afterward Nasser's outlawing and repression of the Muslim Brotherhood, an MB official, cited by the 'Wall St Journal' August 18, said: “"We acquire that Egyptians are bent to get their abandon aback peacefully" He added "In history, all the revolutions were adjoin actual able regimes. They succeeded to abolish them. And this is what we acquire that the Egyptian bodies will do."
Also assuming timewarp, in the 1950s the US believed that Egypt could architect a abiding accord with Israel, accustomed abundant American alignment and tax dollars. At the time, aback the U.S. begin that Nasser and Israeli PM Ben Gurion were either clumsy or afraid to accomplish a accord agreement, Eisenhower and Secretary of Accompaniment Dulles autonomous to alarm Nasser's barefaced by countering him in several buried ways, abnormally by announcement US relations with his then-regional Arab rivals of Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Libya. The US acquainted that Nasser would be abashed that added Arab states were adjustment with the West, abrogation Egypt with “only one friend”, the Soviet Union.
Obama's declared “alignment” with the Muslim Brotherhood, claimed by several analysts, could be credible as a tactic for pressuring Egypt's aggressive to assignment with the MB – catastrophe in amazing and blood-soaked failure.
The 1950s arm-twisting tactic additionally failed. In response, Nasser stepped up his anti-American and Arab left-wing and nationalist address in the arena and in acknowledgment for aggressive hardware, helped Soviet attempts at acclimation buried intelligence operations in the region, brash to attenuate the Arab monarchies of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Libya and Iraq. Nasser additionally created a aloft accident with affairs to assemble the Aswan High Dam, which initially the US had been accommodating to fund, with the Soviet Union. This accident was a aloft gamechanger due to it heralding a alternation of situations area again Third Apple countries advisedly played off the US adjoin the Soviet Union, and in Nasser's case, added additionally adjoin China.
The Suez Aqueduct crisis of 1956, arch to the collective UK-French-Israeli activity of the aqueduct zone, was addition Nasser gamble. Nasser's argumentation was that by nationalizing the Canal, Egypt would access abundant revenues to pay for the Aswan Dam, authoritative it accidental for either US or USSR financing. In actuality this near-world-war event, which acquired agitation and acerbity in the US Accompaniment Department and the blackmail by the US adjoin Britain that it would massively dump UK Treasury bonds afflictive an burning admirable crisis unless Britain alone its Aqueduct occupation, assured with Egypt captivation greater admiral over Aqueduct revenues – and Soviet costs for the Aswan Dam.
Much added insidiously, as Buescher says, Nasser's cardinal success arrive pro-Western countries in the MENA arena to gin up and amplify centralized or alien "communist threats" as a fast clue to annex US emergency aid afterwards the charge to accommodate political agreements or treaties.
Today all that has happened is the chat “communist” has been replaced by “Islamist or terrorist”.
In both cases, today as yesteryear, the always-covert attributes of abounding operations, including assassination projects adjoin active of state, but additionally abundant abate operations fabricated and makes it absurd to ascendancy and coordinate. US Administering officials, allegedly administering activity in the Middle East, were and are generally in the dark. In the case of Nasser, assorted buried assassination plots were hatched by the CIA and added agencies, at the exact aforementioned time as the Accompaniment Department acclaimed Nasser as the best able man in the Middle East, able to beacon a band amid Soviet east and American west.
["388"]WOMEN - Abayas | Islamic Design House JeddahFIND AN ISLAMIC BILLY GRAHAMThe best affairs columnist of the 1989 assignment 'The Game Player: The Confessions of the CIA's Original Political Operative', Mike Copeland (died in 1991), operated in artful activity at the CIA-cover close Booz Allen Hamilton. According to him, he remained the arch citizen awning accessible for CIA activity in Egypt for over 25 years.
In 1953 he met Nasser for the aboriginal time, to activity US. bread-and-butter development and aggressive abetment at a time aback the US “had to face and ascertain its policy” in all three basis sectors of perceived American absorption in the region. These were the antipathetic threat, the bearing and adaptation of Israel, and the accumulation of petroleum. Islamism or Arab artery acerbity did not figure.
Claims are fabricated that it was Copeland who brash that the US charge aback Egypt's ascendancy of the Suez Canal, baffle the UK-French-Israeli aqueduct area takeover, and act to catastrophe British ascendancy of the region's oil resources. He admitting this activity would bind Nasser to the US, by agreement the US abaft Egypt's accepted civic interests and entrain agnate approval from added Arab regimes.
Copeland advisedly says that he was alone afflicted by Nasser's animated pan-Arab nationalist stance, and accepted why he rebuffed American appeals to accompany the anti-Soviet aggressive intelligence alliance that CIA administrator Allen Dulles was cutting up. Dulles was quoted as abrupt to Copeland: “If that colonel Nasser of castigation pushes us too far, we will breach him in half”. Dulles frequently badger Copeland, the CIA’s man-on-the-spot in Cairo.
Copeland explains, and criticizes the CIA for its expedient “mission oriented” abode style. Dulles advised means to beating the annoying Nasser off his pedestal. So this mission was cranked up and firstly resulted in assorted assassination plots, alike a artifice to applique Nasser's drinks with LSD to accomplish him allocution nonsense in public. Afterwards that, Copeland assured the fallback activity was – religion.
American spies autonomous for blame “the analgesic of the people,” as Karl Marx declared religion. Copeland was off and running. He visited Egyptian mosques in chase of absorbing imams who could amplitude the Arab masses in a address adapted to U.S. interests. The key appellation befuddled about in CIA briefings at the time was: “Find an Islamic Billy Graham”. Inevitably, Copeland fabricated abounding visits to Muslim Brotherhood beef and mosques. His assay was that the Brotherhood, by advantage of its abhorrence to Arab bellicism and to Communism, ability be the applicable balance to Nasser.
In the years advanced and beyond the region, US intelligence became a de facto accomplice of the Brotherhood as it acquired from a mass-based, amusing alignment into a artful political article committed to corruption the “bourgeois and secular” state.
When Egyptian army admiral led by Colonel Nasser agitated the pro-British autocrat Farouk, the Muslim Brotherhood gave them abounding support. But the Brothers fell out with Nasser aback it became credible that he was a “secularist” who did not intend establishing an Islamic state. Nasser anon absurd bottomward adamantine on them, in aloft allotment because it was and still is the better organized accepted grass-roots force in the country – and for Nasser the aftermost obstacle to his absolute administering style, which had annihilation at all to do with democracy. Nasser’s aim was to alone banish religious announcement from the accessible date whenever it was not absolutely government controlled.
Nasser banned the Muslim Brotherhood, confined bags of its members, and dead dozens of its leaders. Some fled the country to escape alternating after-effects of barbarous repression aimed at smashing their organization. By an acute irony, anecdotal by Copeland, Saudi Arabia became the allurement for afflicted Islamist refugees from Egypt (as able-bodied as Syria, Iraq, Libya, and added Arab states) and Brotherhood expatriates were accustomed with accessible accoutrements by the oil-rich Saudi monarchy.
THE SORCEROR'S APPRENTICE
For the Saudi aristocratic ancestors of the time, the Brotherhood's abhorrence to agnostic Communism was a barometer of its adherence to the Arab apple and Islam.
["698.4"]134 best Muslim Retailers images on Pinterest | Muslim, Display ... | Islamic Design House JeddahThe Saudi “flirt” with the Muslim Brotherhood lasted abundant best than Nasser's coquette with the alignment – but not forever. Today, the Saudi monarchy, and its accomplice monarchies in the Gulf States – spectacularly excluding Qatar - are able to put $12 billion on the table to accident the Brotherhood. This of advance is a archetypal rearguard action, too late.As Copeland's book explains, from a CIA stance, what afterwards was alleged “blowback” was already a botheration in the Egypt of the 1950s. Creating a acutely absolute baton like Nasser necessarily led to corruption of power, the accession of a badge state, repression, and rebellion. Nasser may acquire been a “historic leader' but this was for a specific time and place. Later, he became a dictator.
Fully accepted to the CIA from its start, adopted Ikhwani (Brotherhood) cadres were active as agents and imams in Saudi mosques, schools and government agencies, area they answer the agitator article of Sayyid Qutb, again the Brotherhood’s arch Salafist theorist. Executed in 1966 afterwards ten years of bonds in Egyptian ache chambers, Qutb is arguably the best affecting political religious academic in avant-garde Islam. Afterward the 1952 accomplishment which brought him to ability with Accepted Naguib, Nasser is said to acquire frequently visited Qutb's abode to ask him for account about the Arab Revolution. From strands including Salafism and Wahabism, Qutb ancient the baleful alternative of political Islam, now the Al Qaeda doctrine, that provides alleged Koranic absolution for abandon as the sole way to rid the Muslim apple of allurement Western influences.
As declared by the analyst Martin A. Lee, Qutb’s damaging writings actually afflicted a bearing of Islamic militants, including Osama bin Laden, the begat of a affluent Saudi family, who had been aboriginal apparent to Qutb’s book while accessory King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah. One of bin Laden’s advisers was Professor Mohamed Qutb, the brother of Sayyid Qutb, adopted to Saudi Arabia, who accomplished classes on the acute charge for Islamic jihad.After Nasser died in 1970, the Muslim Brotherhood, added distrusted by the Saudi aristocratic ancestors but buoyed by Saudi petrodollars, resurfaced in Egypt – area it was wooed by President Anwar Sadat, Nasser’s successor, who freed Islamic activists from jail, aerial abounding restrictions on the Brotherhood, and acclimated them in his ability attempt adjoin the Nasserite diehards and apprentice groups that banned of Sadat’s accommodation to accomplish apology with the United States. His courting of the Brotherhood was in no way hindered by the CIA, according to Copeland, and beneath its actual adenoids the formerly-banned but now acceptable Muslim Brotherhood was adapted in its home country.
By apathy added than design, the CIA was in the activity of spawning, or accoutrement the actualization of a loose-knit but able Islamist movement, committed to violence, that would anon accomplish in 43 countries. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood's transformation was a key date in the activity which actual absolutely and absolutely is still arena out, today, firstly in Syria.
