Statements from Allah, the Exalted, over 1400 years ago:
"And among men, beasts, and cattle there are various colors likewise. Only Allah's worshippers who are knowledgeable fear Him" (Qur'an, 35:28).
"Oh you who believe! A people must not ridicule another people, for it may be that they are better than them" (Qur'an, 49:11).
"Oh people! We created you from a male and a female and We made you into races and tribes so that you may recognize each other. The most honorable of you in the opinion of Allah is the most God-fearing of you" (Qur'an, 49:13).
"( Allah) said: 'What prevented you from prostrating when I ordered you?' (Iblees) said: 'I am superior to him. You created me from fire, while You created him from mud'" (Qur'an, 7:12).
"You (Muslims) are the most superior nation extracted for humanity. You insist on the doing of good, forbid the doing of the reprehensible, and you believe in Allah" (Qur'an, 3:110).
"The Negroes are of barbarous, wild, savage natures, and . . . wholly unqualified to be governed by the laws, customs, and practices of this province" (South Carolina's code of 1712).
"A free African population is a curse to any country. . . . This race, . . . in a state of freedom, and in the midst of a civilized community, are a dead weight to the progress of improvement" (The Chancellor of the South Carolina Court of Appeals, 1840's).
"There is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality" (President Abraham Lincoln in speech 7/17/58) .
"It is vain to deny that they (Africans) are an inferior race--very far inferior to the European variety" (President Andrew Johnson in veto 1867).
In his 1858 debate with Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln said: "And inasmuch as they [blacks and whites] cannot so live [together on terms of social and political equality], while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."
On 12/13/67, in his third annual message, President Andrew Johnson said: "The great difference between the two races in physical, mental and moral characteristics will prevent an amalgamation or fusion of them together in one homogeneous mass. If the inferior obtains the ascendency, it will govern with reference only to its own interests."
President Theodore Roosevelt in his First Annual Message, on 12/3/01, said: "It is no light task for a nation to achieve the temperamental qualities without which the institutions of free government are but an empty mocker. . . . What has taken us thirty generations to achieve we cannot expect another race to accomplish out of hand, especially when a large portion of that race start very far behind the point which our ancestors had reached even thirty generations ago."
Under-Secretary of State Thomas Mann in a speech June 1964, said in reference to the Marine interventions in the Caribbean under Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson: "Our interventions were, in the Latin American point of view, patronizing in the extreme. By making the United States the sole judge of Latin America's political morality, they were degrading to proud peoples who believed that, in their own wars of independence, they had earned the right to manage their own affairs - to be masters in their own houses."
Masters revealed the qualities they sought to develop in slaves when they singled out certain ones for special commendation. . . . How might this ideal be approached?
The first step, advised those who wrote discourses on the management of slaves, was to establish and maintain strict discipline.
The second step was to implant in the bondsmen themselves a consciousness of personal inferiority.
The third step in the training of slaves was to awe them with a sense of their master's enormous power. The only principle upon which slavery could be maintained, reported a group of Charlestonians, was the "principle of fear."
The fourth step was to persuade the bondsmen to take an interest in the master's enterprise and to accept his standards of good conduct.
The final step was to impress Negroes with their helplessness, to create in them "a habit of perfect dependence" upon their masters. Many of them also considered Christian indoctrination an effective method of keeping slaves docile and contented (The Peculiar Institution, 144-156).
According to FBI agent William C. Sullivan, "We were engaged in COINTELPRO tactics, to divide, conquer, weaken, in diverse ways, an organization. We were engaged in that when I entered the Bureau in 1941" (1976 U.S. Select Committee to Study Government Operations . . . II:66). Methods included:
(1) Eavesdropping via wiretaps, burglaries, electronic devices, live "tails" and mail tampering, SCLC;
(2) Bogus Mail sent to foster splits between and within organizations, such as, between the Black Panther Party and US Organization, and between Huey Newton and Eldridge Cleaver;
(3) Disinformation released to the press and electronic media, 11/67 articles on feud between SNCC and BPP;
(4) Harassment Arrests, members of RAM in Philadelphia in 1967;
(5) Infiltrators and Agents Provocateurs, William O'Neal of the Chicago BPP and John G. Arellano of AIM;
(6) Pseudo-Gangs, FBI provocateur Joe Burton created militant organizations 1972-75;
(7) Goon Squads against AIM during Wounded Knee, 1973;
(8) Bad-Jacketing, in 7/68 FBI began a rumor that Stokely Carmichael was a CIA informer;
(9) Fabrication of Evidence, the Chicago Seven Trial in 1968; and
(10) Assassinations, al-Hajj Malik Shabazz, 1965, and Martin Luther King, 1968 (Agents of Repression).
I. THREATS, INTIMIDATION
The Carter Doctrine. On January 23, 1980, President Jimmy Carter stated: "Let our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force."
II. CHARACTER ASSASSINATION, VILLIFICATION
President Allende of Chile said in an interview in 1970: "The American press immediately labeled me a Marxist. The barb is plain, as is the poison. . . . We are not going to set up a Marxist government. That is senseless" (Disaster in Chile).
Lumumba told the members of the Chamber and the Senate: "that everything in Africa that is done for the people is called Communism by the imperialists" (State Dept. "Policy Paper," 1/25/61, pp. 36-7).
III. EXPEDIENT DEMOCRACY
In 1945, Korean folk hero Kim Koo opposed the US and Russian joint trusteeship of Korea, fearing it would lead to a permanent division of his homeland. . . . Kim's fears became reality when General John R. Hodge, Commander of the U.S. Occupation Forces, held a rigged election in which Kim and Rhee became leaders of South Korea and Kim Il Sung leader of North Korea (The Judas Factor, 55).
After the overthrow of the Shah of Iran in 1979, the shadow and the invisible US governments manipulated the democratically elected government of President Carter. The shadow government included the lobby consisting of the leading banks, the arms industry, the oil trusts and construction cartels, and of such individual eminences as Mr. Kissinger, Mr. Connally and the Rockefeller family. The invisible government was the government of intelligence operatives: part of the CIA, defense intelligence, national security agencies and so on. They forced President Carter to harbor the Shah of Iran, inspite of Iranian protests and US embassy warnings.
IV. ECONOMIC WARFARE
Before and after the election of Allende to the presidency of Chile in 9/70, ITT Director John McCone, himself a former head of the CIA, the American-owned Kennecott Copper Company, Anaconda, and the CIA sponsored worker strikes, blocked Chilean copper sales and loans from international credit agencies in order to wreck Chile's economy.
V. UN COMPLICITY
The Congo experience demonstrates conclusively that the West will always have their way in any major UN operation in the Third World. During the 1960's the US and the UN Secretary General Hammarskjold conspired to overthrow the elected Prime Minister of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba (The Congo Betrayal).
VI. MANIPULATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
"Khomeini clearly rejects the built-in bias of the system: 'What kind of law is this? It permits the US Government to exploit and colonize peoples all over the world for decades. But it does not allow the extradition of an individual who has staged great massacres. Can you call it law?" (Time, interview, Jan. 7, 1978).
VII. COUPS
In 1951, Mohammed Mossadegh elected Prime Minister of Iran. In August, 1953, Pro-Shah generals and CIA, directed by Allen Dulles, and personally led by CIA operatives Kermit Roosevelt and H. Norman Schwarzkopf carry out coup. On 6/27/54, after a CIA sponsored invasion, elected President of Guatemala, Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, resigns and flees the country.
VIII. ASSASSINATION
On 1/1/55 Vice President Richard M. Nixon met with a group of Panamanians in Honduras who included the men hired to assassinate Jose Antonio Remon, President of Panama. The assassination of at least three foreign leaders was approved during the last months of the Eisenhower/Nixon administration: Fidel Castro of Cuba, Rafael Trujillo of Dominican Republic, and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo (The Judas Factor, 98).
IX. INVASION
In late 1963 a military junta overthrew the elected government of President Juan Bosch. On 4/24/65, pro-Bosch military officers toppled the pro-American Cabral regime. On 4/28/65, Marines invade and support a pro-American military faction led by air force Col. Pedro Benoit formed a new junta.
