Wayne Madsen est r\u00e9put\u00e9 pour avoir beaucoup d’informations souvent de sources fort bien plac\u00e9es, et aussi (r\u00e9put\u00e9) pour d\u00e9tester absolument Donald Trump en m\u00eame temps que tout ce qui est de droite et de droite-extr\u00eame.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

(Sur ce dernier point, Madsen, qui s’oppose \u00e9galement \u00e0 la politique belliciste washingtonienne, a souvent illustr\u00e9 les erreurs que l’attachement trop fid\u00e8le aux \u00e9tiquettes et ce qui peut s’apparenter \u00e0 un sentiment de haine font commettre [voir l’article de PhG de ce jour<\/a>].)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Son article ci-dessous, où il d\u00e9signe Trump comme un \u00ab\u00a0n\u00e9o-barbare\u00a0\u00bb, est par contre \u00e0 lire sans la moindre retenue ni h\u00e9sitation, selon notre point de vue. L’identification que Madsen fait de Trump en \u00ab\u00a0n\u00e9o-barbare\u00a0\u00bb rencontre compl\u00e8tement notre analyse sur l'\u00a0\u00bbontologie de Trump<\/a>\u00a0\u00bb et son \u00ab\u00a0op\u00e9rationnalisation\u00a0\u00bb de la barbarie int\u00e9rieure<\/em><\/a> (selon J. F. Mattei). Madsen part dans son propos d’un tweet fameux de Trump d’il y a \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s une d\u00e9cadre, où il mena\u00e7ait l’Iran d’une attaque, avec la pr\u00e9cision de 52 sites identifi\u00e9s pour cette attaque, dont pr\u00e9cisait-il des \u00ab\u00a0sites culturels\u00a0\u00bb jouant un r\u00f4le fondamental pour la culture iranienne.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

(Cette pr\u00e9cision d’une attaque contre des \u00ab\u00a0sites culturels\u00a0\u00bb essentiels pour l’Iran a beaucoup fait couler d’encre, essentiellement parce qu’il s’agit d’une intention de commettre des \u00ab\u00a0crimes de guerre\u00a0\u00bb. Madsen \u00e9crit \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, au sujet d’un point d’actualit\u00e9 qui nous avait \u00e9chapp\u00e9s : « La destruction de sites culturels et religieux pendant un conflit arm\u00e9 est un crime de guerre et une violation du droit international. Posant un diff\u00e9rend de plus entre Trump et un membre de son cabinet, le secr\u00e9taire \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense Esper a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 lors d’une conf\u00e9rence de presse, \u00e0 propos de cette intention du pr\u00e9sident de d\u00e9truire des ‘sites culturels iraniens’ : \u00ab\u00a0Nous nous conformerons aux lois de la guerre\u00a0\u00bb [qui interdisent de prendre pour cible des sites culturels]. Jamais depuis 1944, lorsque le commandant allemand de Paris, le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Dietrich von Choltitz, a refus\u00e9 l’ordre d’Adolf Hitler de d\u00e9truire les principaux sites culturels du Paris occup\u00e9 par les nazis, – l’Arc de Triomphe, la cath\u00e9drale Notre-Dame, la Tour Eiffel, le Louvre, la basilique du Sacr\u00e9-Cœur, et d’autres, – jamais un responsable militaire n’avait d\u00e9fi\u00e9 aussi ouvertement un dirigeant politique<\/em>. »)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Le qualificatif de \u00ab\u00a0n\u00e9o-barbare\u00a0\u00bb est \u00e9videmment largement justifi\u00e9 pour un pr\u00e9sident qui annonce publiquement son intention de faire d\u00e9truire le patrimoine culturel d’un pays, qui plus est d’un pays qui est une civilisation \u00e0 lui tout seul. Le commentaire s’impose \u00e9videmment sous la plume de Madsen, qui ne manque pas sa cible en alignant Trump sur une \u00ab\u00a0s\u00e9rie barbare\u00a0\u00bb qui va de soi :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

« Le monde a \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moin ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es d’un certain nombre d’actes barbares de destruction de sites culturels du patrimoine mondial. L’État islamique d’Iraq et du Levant (ISIL) a d\u00e9truit plusieurs sites historiques et artefacts de l’Antiquit\u00e9 \u00e0 Mossoul, en Iraq et \u00e0 Palmyre, en Syrie. En 2001, les Talibans ont fait sauter les bouddhas de Bamiyan, prot\u00e9g\u00e9s par l’UNESCO, en Afghanistan, les transformant en un tas de d\u00e9combres<\/em>.<\/p>\n

» C’est un triste constat sur l’\u00e9tat actuel du monde que de voir un pr\u00e9sident des USA se mettre dans la m\u00eame cat\u00e9gorie barbare qu’Adolf Hitler, l’ISIL et les Talibans. La campagne de \u00ab\u00a0pression maximale\u00a0\u00bb de Trump sur l’Iran semble avoir tr\u00e8s peu de limites<\/em>. »<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

L\u00e0-dessus, Madsen a tout de m\u00eame l’esprit, avec les informations qu’il faut, de revenir sur les d\u00e9vastations culturelles qui ont marqu\u00e9 la campagne de conqu\u00eate et d’occupation de l’Irak depuis 2003, commen\u00e7ant par rappeler ces sc\u00e8nes inoubliables des premiers jours de la \u00ab\u00a0lib\u00e9ration\u00a0\u00bb de Bagdad où les G.I. regardaient, sans intervenir, des pillards, en groupes ou individuellement, venir dans les mus\u00e9es public pour piller les œuvres d’art expos\u00e9es, et bien entendu des œuvres t\u00e9moignant des civilisations de l’antiquit\u00e9. Il d\u00e9crit comment un march\u00e9 noir s’est install\u00e9 depuis ces ann\u00e9es, faisant du pillage culturel des pays envahis par l’arm\u00e9e am\u00e9ricaniste une activit\u00e9 extr\u00eamement foisonnante et florissante. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A ce moment, le pr\u00e9sident n’\u00e9tait pas Donald Trump. Ni GW Bush, ni Obama, ni Clinton avant eux, ne sont jamais sp\u00e9cifiquement intervenus pour r\u00e9guler cet aspect des guerres sans nombre, ouvertes ou dissimul\u00e9es, que les USA ont lanc\u00e9es. Il y a \u00e9videmment dans cette attitude, aussi bien des forces arm\u00e9es que des dirigeants, une volont\u00e9 assum\u00e9e ou dissimul\u00e9e c’est selon, de \u00ab\u00a0d\u00e9culturation\u00a0\u00bb de ces pays, dans le but presque instinctif de l’am\u00e9ricanisme de d\u00e9truire les autres cultures au profit de l'\u00a0\u00bbam\u00e9ricanisation\u00a0\u00bb, au son des th\u00e9ories du \u00ab\u00a0chaos cr\u00e9ateur\u00a0\u00bb dont est baign\u00e9e la mystique de pacotille de la religion capitaliste.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

La diff\u00e9rence dans le cas qui sert de point de d\u00e9part \u00e0 l’analyse de Madsen, c’est, encore une fois<\/a>, l’absence d’hypocrisie de Trump pour exposer \u00e0 ciel ouvert ce qu’est la d\u00e9marche am\u00e9ricaniste, exposant ainsi la fa\u00e7on dont cette \u00ab\u00a0mystique de pacotille\u00a0\u00bb est de type satanique, c’est-\u00e0-dire l’inversion de ce qu’est une mystique. Tout cela s’ins\u00e8re parfaitement dans la politique actuelle des USA, qui ne fait que continuer des pratiques courantes dans ce pays, et qui confirme bien entendu l’aspect de \u00ab\u00a0crime organis\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0\u00bb de ce gouvernement comme de ceux qui l’ont pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Quoi qu’il en soit, le texte de Madsen est d’un int\u00e9r\u00eat documentaire ind\u00e9niable du fait de tous les d\u00e9tails qu’il donne sur cette sorte d’activit\u00e9 depuis 2003. Il d\u00e9veloppe ainsi un autre aspect, un aspect de plus, de l’immense crise de cette civilisation, ou contre-civilisation du Syst\u00e8me, en cours d’effondrement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

They Like to Get the Landmarks<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

In the 2016 science fiction sequel, Independence Day: Resurgence, actor Jeff Goldblum, describing the targeting priorities of aliens invading the Earth, says, \u00ab\u00a0They like to get the landmarks.\u00a0\u00bb In both Independence Day and its sequel, movie viewers were treated to scenes of macabre-looking extraterrestrials destroying the Empire State Building, the White House, Los Angeles’s Tower Records building, and London’s Tower Bridge and \u00ab\u00a0the Eye\u00a0\u00bb wheel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Destroying famous landmarks is not merely in the purview of motion picture aliens but also the president of the United States. In a series of tweets sent after Trump ordered the assassination at Baghdad International Airport of Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Al Quds commander, Major General Qaseem Soleimani, he vowed to destroy Iranian cultural sites if Iran retaliated for the U.S. assassination of Iran’s most revered military leader.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Trump tweeted: \u00ab\u00a0Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have… targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Destroying cultural and religious sites during armed conflict is a war crime and a violation of international law. In yet another dispute between Mr. Trump and members of his cabinet, when asked about Trump’s threat to destroy 52 Iranian cultural sites, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said at a Pentagon news conference, \u00ab\u00a0We will follow the laws of armed conflict,\u00a0\u00bb which prohibits the targeting of cultural sites. Not since 1944, when the German commander of Paris, General Dietrich von Choltitz, defied Adolf Hitler’s order to destroy the major cultural sites in Nazi-occupied Paris – the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Sacr\u00e9–Cœur basilica, and others – had a military official so publicly defied a political leader.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Trump did not state what 52 Iranian cultural sites and antiquities were on his \u00ab\u00a0hit list,\u00a0\u00bb but informed observers believe they included the ruins of the capital of the Achaemenid Empire at Persepolis; the Kingdom of Elam’s holy city, Tchogha Zanbil; and Imam Square in Isfahan, all protected World Heritage sites protected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), from which Trump withdrew the United States in 2019. Other likely targets included the iconic Azadi Tower in Tehran, built by the Shah of Iran in 1971 to celebrate the 2500th anniversary of the founding of the nation of Persia\/Iran and the UNESCO-protected Arg-e-Bam, the world’s largest adobe building; the Old Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian inscription and rock relief depicting the coronation of Darius the Great on Mount Behustan; the cylindrical tower of the tomb of Ziyarid ruler Qabus; the Tabriz Bazaar; the historic city of Yazd, and several Persian gardens around Iran.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Tehran’s iconic Milad Tower, often seen on live television broadcasts from the Iranian capital, would be the sort of target a neo-barbarian like Trump would want to see destroyed, since the former television game show host has little appreciation for history or culture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The world has in recent years witnessed a number of barbarian acts of destruction of world heritage cultural sites. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) destroyed several historical sites and objects of antiquity in Mosul, Iraq and Palmyra, Syria. In 2001, the Taliban blew up the UNESCO-protected Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan, rendering them into a pile of rubble.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It is a sad commentary on the present state of the world that an American president would desire to put himself in the same barbarian category as Adolf Hitler, ISIL, and the Taliban. However, Trump’s \u00ab\u00a0maximum pressure\u00a0\u00bb campaign on Iran appears to have very few boundaries.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

During the initial phase of the U.S. military occupation of Iraq, U.S. troops idly stood by as looters ransacked the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad, carting off many priceless artifacts, thousands of which remain missing to this day. In addition to looters stealing Iraqi artifacts, members of the U.S. military, the Coalition Provisional Authority, and private contractors bought stolen Iraqi museum pieces on the streets of Iraq, shipping them home without any penalty from the U.S. government.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The U.S. military damaged the famed Ishtar Gate of Babylon, south of Baghdad. In addition to damaging parts of the gate, the U.S. military destroyed parts of it to build a helicopter landing pad and an area for portable toilets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The famous Sacred Vase of Warka (dating from 3200 BC) was discovered in the trunk of a car. In 2003, then-U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has as much appreciation for cultural sites and antiquities as Mr. Trump, said, \u00ab\u00a0The images you are seeing on television you are seeing over and over and over. And it’s the same picture of some person walking out of some building with a vase. And you see it 20 times. And you think, my goodness, were there that many vases?.. Is it possible that there were that many vases in the whole country?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Rumsfeld glossed over the willful toleration by the U.S. occupation force of the grand theft of Iraqi antiquities and their appearance on the global black market. There is little doubt that if the U.S. decided to attack and occupy Iran, the cultural sites not obliterated by U.S. weapons would be looted for distribution on the black market.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

After the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Arab Spring upheavals in Egypt and Libya, and the jihadist occupation of large parts of Syria, various priceless antiquities from these countries began showing up in private collections and dubious museums like the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. The museum was built by Christian fundamentalist David Green, owner of the retail chain Hobby Lobby. A private-high dollar reception marking the museum’s opening was held at the Trump International Hotel in Washington on November 16, 2017. That same year, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seized from Hobby Lobby thousands of clay tablets and metallic seals, obviously bound for the museum, that were stolen from Iraq. Most archaeologists believe that such seizures are merely the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Although many stolen Middle Eastern artifacts are fenced through or secretly auctioned in London, Geneva, Zurich, Basel, Beirut, Istanbul, Amman, and New York, the culpability of Israel is rarely mentioned. Many of the stolen artifact brokers possess Israeli passports and because of their dual nationality with other countries, engage in their black marketeering by freely traveling from place to place with their ill-gotten wares. Israel demonstrated its lack of commitment to cultural site protection when its military razed the 700-year old Moroccan Quarter of Old Jerusalem in 1967.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While many world leaders have dedicated themselves to the protection of cultural sites and antiquities, Trump would rather be counted among those who have, through history, ordered the destruction of humanity’s greatest and most cherished relics, including Hitler, ISIL’s Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Taliban’s Mullah Omar, and the Mongol ruler, Hulegu Khan, who destroyed the city of Baghdad in 1258. Trump’s friends, the Wahhabist Khalifa royal family of Bahrain, ordered destroyed 43 Shi’a mosques in Bahrain, including the 400-year-old Amir Mohammed Braighi mosque.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Trump’s personality is not one that appreciates actual history, but only that which he dreams up in his head, \u00ab\u00a0creating facts\u00a0\u00bb by whimsy. In 1980, when Trump bought the historic Bonwit Teller building after the famed retailer’s Manhattan flagship store closed, Trump promised to donate the building’s iconic entrance Art Deco limestone reliefs and nickel grillwork to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Trump, going back on his word, ordered the reliefs to be jackhammered to bits and the grillwork \u00ab\u00a0disappeared.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Just because Trump later changed his mind and said he would not target Iran’s cultural sites does not mean that he will not carry out such an evil deed. Trump enjoys hurting people, physically and mentally, and the Iranian nation may yet be treated like the curators of the Metropolitan Museum of Art by one of the world’s most evil men<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
