Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Fitzgerald: Follow the money trail

Jul 14, 2006 9:12 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Alistair Crooke is the British agent who not only dealt with Hamas, but became a great Hamas supporter and booster. Google his name. He is now a “consultant” offering his services to the highest bidders — no doubt many from the Jazirat al-arab neck of the woods, in London.

He should be investigated. He should be charged. With what? I think with promoting the interests of terrorists, the interests of Hamas. Could a retired British intelligence agent be convicted, if he was only doing what he would argue is “in the best interests of Great Britain, rightly understood”? There were all kinds of people in Great Britain who had their own notions of what was “in the best interests of Great Britain, rightly understood.” There was the Cliveden Set. There was Oswald Moseley. There was even a British intelligence agent named Kim Philby, Communist son of the Muslim father St. John Philby. No doubt he too, Kim Philby, thought that he knew what was not only “in the best interests of Great Britain” but also for the entire , benighted, capitalist world. Remember him?

If such a man were to be charged — what would be the charge? do English laws now punish those who lend support or legitimacy or plausibility to terrorist groups? — and could be convicted for aiding and abetting terrorist groups, it would do good. He and a whole bunch of people who have been toiling in those same vineyards for many decades, recycling those “petrodollars,” writing articles and signing petitions and “advising” the British government on how best to appease the Arabs, the PLO, the Palestinian Authority, and of course Saudi Arabia — should all be investigated, their “clients” disclosed, the sources of all their funding, direct and indirect (indirect being businesses instructed by, say, the Saudis, to hire them as “consultants” on how to win contracts, or conduct business, up and down the Gulf).
Even if you do not comprehend what this has done to Israel’s position, or do not care one whit, you might ask yourself what the misunderstanding of the war against Israel — a Lesser Jihad — aided by such people, which in turns helps to delay the day of recognition of what Islam is all about, has done to Great Britain and to Western Europe.

And had the Alistair Crookes of this world been exposed for what they are, long ago, that might have made it easier for the government and people of Great Britain to realize what would be the inevitable result of Muslim immigration into their midst — as the peoples of Western Europe have all been discovering, to their great confusion, and mental and moral desarroi.

The Alistair Crookes and the Foreign Office Arabists include those who are simply venal, those who suffer undully from those two pre-existing mental conditions (anti-Americanism and antisemitism) that make them security risks in a time of war of self-defense against the Greater Jihad (which is simply the sum of all the Lesser Jihads, conducted both against remaining non-Muslims in Muslim lands, and against Infidels in lands not yet subjugated by Islam), and those who think the Arabs are fine fellows (Laurentian nonsense never dies, and neither Richard Aldington nor Elie Kedourie have been sufficiently attended to, their dry facts and conclusions about that motorcycle-ridiing mythomane assimilated) in the manner of John Bagot Glubb (Glubb Pasha) and Alec Kirkbride. They have never come to grips with how that romantic noble-bedouin-and-vastness-of-the-Arabian-sky stuff is actually preventing an intelligent defense of one’s own, far superior culture. For god’s sake, Charles Johnston, the former British Ambassador to Jordan, married to Tatiana Bagration — even he, were he alive, would sense the threat to European civilization. And of course to the high poetry of Pushkin, whom he translated, he would have abandoned any of what might have remained of a pro-Arab bias based on that highly unrepresentative man, the “plucky little king” Hussein of Jordan.

This pro-Arab stuff has to stop. England, and the entire West, and the entire Infidel world, is being threatened. The usual crew of admirers of the Arabs, of Western hirelings of the Arabs, overlapping with or supplemented by the irreducible proportion of the English ruling class that reflects a kind of acceptable antisemitism that is completely unacceptable, had either get with the program, or be driven from power — in just the same way as in 1939-41, those who had formerly been apologists for Nazi Germany, those who had been in any way associated with the Cliveden Set or Moseley, were disgraced and driven out.

Start with that “consultant” Alistair Crooke. Why has he not been charged? Why has he not been the subject of investigative journalists? Who are his clients? Who gives him money? With whom does he associate? And what about all those others, those whom you can find by googling “Jihad Watch” and “financial dhimmitude”? All over the capitals of the West, those who are hirelings of Arabs and Muslims, now and in the past, need to be investigated and exposed, for one good reason.

And that reason is: the money will not stop. OPEC Arab and Muslim countries have, since 1973, taken in 10 trillion dollars. It is the largest transfer of wealth in human history. Hundreds of billions of that has gone into spreading Islam, into the various instruments of Jihad. The Arabs are not stupid. They support magazines sent free to libraries (see Andrew Kilgore). They support phony organizations whose very names are intended to wrap themselves in the local flag: see Eugene Bird, and the Council for the National Interest. They acquire public-relations advisers: see Fred Dutton, former Kennedy apparatchik, who was the first to sign up, decades ago, with the Saudis. See Orvis Communications. See, see, see.

Find out who has been paying for those glossy full-page ads, the one that recently appeared in The New Duranty Times. Write stories about that funding. See what Arab money has been doing, because it is going to continue to do it in the future.

Don’t give a damn, you say, about Israel or about France or Italy, England or Spain, Germany or Denmark, Sweden or Norway, or for that matter India or Thailand or the Philippines or Singapore? Don’t care?

Well, then, do you care about a sensible energy policy to head off possibly permanent, irreversible environmental damage? Does that concern you? Because if it does, remember that the same paid or volunteer agents of the Arabs, of the rich Arabs, whose wealth comes from fossil fuels, will also work to prevent measures being taken to diminish the reliance on such fuels. It has been happening all along. Why do you think there has never been a serious energy tax in this country, a tax on gasoline, a tax on the use of oil? Is it really just “Big Oil” or is it the Saudi lobby?

Start turning over some rocks. Lest we get to a point where we really do turn out to be “kuffar” — ungrateful ones. Ungrateful to those who created and left us our civilizational legacy. And ungrateful to whatever it was (as prayers are uttered by some To Whom It May Concern) that left us this, our giddy, lovable, vulnerable globe.
