Today the policy of the arrogant powers is ultra-neocolonialism. That is to say, the policy is one step ahead of neocolonialism that existed for decades in the past century. What is ultra-neocolonialism? It is a way to encourage members of a nation, which is targeted for domination by the arrogant powers, to help the arrogant powers without realizing what they are doing. The enemy considers your faith as a solid wall that has to be destroyed. There might be people among ourselves who try to undermine this wall and make holes in it. Although they are members of our own society, such people are working for the enemy. And the enemy capitalizes on them. As you have heard, the Americans even passed a law in the Congress to give money to certain elements inside our country and hire them. They did this in such an open way. This is ultra-neocolonialism. It is analogous to a runner who cannot defeat his rival, so he gets his rival to defeat himself - for example, by making him addicted to drugs. When his rival is addicted to drugs, he will not have the energy to run and this will automatically benefit him. When his rival does not have the energy to run, he will win. This is how they go about doing their work in ultra-neocolonialism. Our youth must be very careful. Our young girls must be extremely careful. Our male and female teachers and our parents must be vigilant and cautious. This is particularly true of those who are in a position that they can influence public opinion by delivering speeches, writing articles, producing artistic works and other such things. May 2, 2005
You can see how much suffering is being inflicted on nations by the bloody claws of the global arrogance. The world is still suffering from colonialism, which is now applying modern methods. In the past, colonial powers used to dominate other nations directly. However, with the awareness and awakening of nations, the era of old colonialism came to an end. But it was replaced by neocolonialism.
In the neocolonial era, world powers did not try to directly rule other countries; for instance, unlike the old colonial era, Britain did not install a British ruler in India in the neocolonial era. Instead, the colonial states brought their agents to power in the countries under their influence. This is what they did with regard to the former regime in Iran, when they brought Reza Khan and his son to power, and in many other countries in the Third World, including Islamic countries.
For many years, the colonial countries oppressed other nations, brought dictators and military regimes to power and prevented national participation through whatever means possible. Today, they see that this method is no longer effective. Thus, they have found a new way of dominating other countries, i.e. dominating them by influencing their nations. This new method is what I recently referred to as postmodern colonialism.
In the present postmodern colonial era, the arrogant powers are trying to influence other nations with the help of their agents, by spending money and through propaganda tactics and colorful enticements. They are also trying to whitewash the world's oppressors and their dark records.
These attempts will also prove futile, since the face of the arrogant and oppressive powers is too ugly to be whitewashed. They will not be able to hide their oppressive and savage nature. What is happening in Iraq provides an example. You can see what these arrogant powers are doing in Iraq. Today, the flag of human rights in the hands of the United States, Britain and the like has turned into a ridiculous and funny plaything.
The brutal treatment of prisoners at the AbuGhuraib prison in Iraq and at the Guantanamo prison in the United States and other maltreatments of innocent people by U.S. and British soldiers are the talk of the town everywhere in the world. Today, the hearts of Muslim nations are filled with hatred for the United States and other arrogant powers.
Even in those countries whose rulers are under the influence of the arrogant powers, their nations are fed up with this influence and are waiting for a proper time to put an end to it. The time when the arrogant powers did everything they wished to other nations is over now. Of course some nations may be experiencing certain hardships, but they will not take bullying or yield to intimidation any longer. Any nation that is vigilant, determined and faithful will be able to protect its independence and national sovereignty. Jan 8, 2005
