The questions most asked all over the world and in all languages are: Where do we stand in relation to global events and what's being planned for us? The questions reach beyond Egyptian domestic affairs to span over the regional and international reality. Major study centers, top political leaders and thinkers have all converged to study these inquiries that reflect the state of anxiety the world lives in. The information and communication revolution has transformed the world into a small virtual forum where all populations meet to exchange news, events and concerns. They debate, conflict, reconcile and form alliances but the main concern remains the overwhelming anxiety that stems from crumbling economies, wars that threaten everyone's livelihood and the policies adopted by world powers which resemble in nature the age of colonialism. Worry dominates the world notwithstanding the differences in orientations, crises or cultures. And the reasons behind this situation are the visions, strategies and new maps imposed on the entire planet by the New Global System. The New Global System began at the start of the nineties of the last century. It was born from the emerging unilateral power of the United States. The emergence of this exclusive power, especially in the military field, coupled with the disintegration of all other powers such as the Soviet Union, marked the appearance of the new system. The second Gulf War was the first public announcement of the new system's start as well as its vision in handling international crisis. The U.S. was now leading an international coalition able to confront rogue states (such as Iraq at the time) and to compel to comply with the system. The U.S., using its own capabilities and with very limited cooperation from allies, was later able to execute specialized strategic operations in its war against terrorism. A new war began at the onset of the third millennium which directly targeted several Middle Eastern countries and subjected them to the improvised Washington strategy of pre-emptive strikes. The U.S. military used weaponry and command control systems never used or seen before. The New Global System beleaguered the Middle East region exclusively, waging several wars and fabricating polarizing crises. The U.S. did not manage these wars on its own, there was comprehensive or partial cooperation with NATO, considered the longer arm for the New Global System. The U.S. made sure to keep the Warsaw Pact intact, despite its disintegration after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The U.S. even ventured to revive the Warsaw Pact, develop and mutate it to become a political and military defensive tool for Europe against the old Soviet Union regime. This move helped the West confront international crises while frustrating the European intention of forming an independent adverse military force at any time. Through this innovative vision, the U.S. was able to achieve its objectives, exploiting the European countries' capabilities and covering costs. Through the Warsaw Pact, U.S. was able to introduce many changes in the Middle Eastern and global Map, among which the endorsement of new boundaries for the Greater Middle East in conformity with the American concept. This concept considers a new southern border to Europe different from the one previously determined after World War Two. The new border extends to reach the borders of all Islamic countries, and countries with Islamic majorities as well the borders starting from South East Asia through to mid Africa, including all the Arab countries. NATO remained loyal to Washington's objectives all these years and helped and abated its attempt to dominate the Middle East as it is the heart of the world. Why the Middle East? The Middle East is the cradle of civilization, all monotheistic religions originated on its lands, spreading their light to the whole world. It's also a region rich with natural resources and therefore the focus of the attention of the imperial powers. It can also pose a threat to the same powers in the future prompting policies to be steered towards this region to halt any intent for unity that could multiply its force. Targeting the region started by spreading sectarian strife and dispute among communities and especially, the main Sunnah and Shiite Islamic branches. Disputes were exaggerated in a systematic way until reaching the present situation and what the so-called ‘Arab Spring'. The World Zionist star emerged when the ‘Balfour declaration' was announced in 1917, marking the formation of Jewish nation on Palestinian land. It was followed by the founding of the League of Nations in 1919 until the eruption of World War II in 1939. The whole Arab region was toiling under severe internal disputes and conflicts which fomented separation and division between its nations. The expected result of these conflicts was the defeat of the Arab armies in 1948. After World War II the world's leadership was transferred to the U.S. which inherited dominion over nations previously influenced by the British Empire, among which Egypt, Palestine, Jordan and the Gulf States. Signs of an Arab-Israeli conflict were starting to appear. In time, a scheme was uncovered to push Egypt into fabricated wars, after President Gamal Abdel Nasser started his presidency. This scheme was nicknamed ‘Hunting the turkey' and was designed to create fictional wars to lead to the aborting of the projected Egyptian-Syrian unity. The final outcome was 1967defeat and the increasing American pressure on Jordan, Palestine and the Gulf States. This pressure came with the tidings of a rising Arab wealth. Western policies continued to sow discord and stir-up conflicts between Egypt and its neighboring countries in compliance with the U.S. project. These policies remained in vigor until the start of President Mohamed Anwar Al Sadat's rule with the blatant interference in the Arab states' internal affairs, to fuel ethnic and religious separatism. The struggle goes on and the United States is still executing its plan to subdivide the region with the help of NATO. To be continued.
