GE 13: "U.S. 'PIVOT' TOWARD ASIA TRIPS IN MALAYSIA"

We know what happened at GE 13 and if we have kept abreast with the news from the media and blogs, we know what the results had triggered locally. But what do the results mean to the foreign backers of the opposition? In the following article, Tony Cartalucci of the Land Destroyer blog offers his take. As the article’s title suggest, the failure of the opposition to take over the government also meant the failure (or at least, for now, the stalling) of the US’ (and other western interests’) hegemonic ambitions across Asia.

Come to think of it - and this is for those who continue to criticize the BN victory - the GE 13 results meant we have stopped not only the opposition but also a mighty imperialist power in their tracks! Just reflect on that. But beware, it will only last 5 years. There's still a lot of work to be done.

US "Pivot" Toward Asia Trips in Malaysia
By Tony Cartalucci, Land Destroyer, 8 May 2013.

May 8, 2013 (LD) - Wall Street and London's hegemonic ambitions in Asia, cantered around installing proxy regimes across Southeast Asia and using the supranational ASEAN bloc to encircle and contain China, suffered a serious blow this week when Western-proxy and Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's party lost in general elections.

While Anwar Ibrahim's opposition party, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) or "People's Alliance," attempted to run on an anti-corruption platform, its campaign instead resembled verbatim attempts by the West to subvert governments politically around the world, including most recently in Venezuela, and in Russia in 2012.

Despite the US mobilizing the summation of its media power and pouring millions of dollars into the

opposition party, including the creation and perpetuation of fake-NGOs such as Bersih and the Merdeka

Center, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak sailed to a comfortable victory in this year's general elections.

The cheap veneer has begun peeling away from America's "democracy promotion" racket, leaving its

proxies exposed and frantic, and America's hegemonic ambitions across Asia in serious question.

Just as in Russia where so-called "independent" election monitor GOLOS turned out to be fully funded by the US State Department through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Malaysia's so-called election monitor, the Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research, is likewise funded directly by the US through NED. Despite this, Western media outlets, in pursuit of promoting the Western-backed People's Alliance, has repeatedly referred to Merdeka as "independent."

The BBC in its article, "Malaysia election sees record turnout," lays out the well-rehearsed cries of "stolen elections" used by the West to undermine the legitimacy of polls it fears its proxy candidates may lose - with  the US-funded Merdeka Centre cited in attempts to bolster these claims. Their foreign funding and compromised objectivity is never mentioned (emphasis added):

Allegations of election fraud surfaced before the election. Some of those who voted in advance told BBC News that indelible ink - supposed to last for days - easily washed off.

"The indelible ink can be washed off easily, with just water, in a few seconds," one voter, Lo, told BBC News from Skudai.

Another voter wrote: "Marked with "indelible ink" and voted at 10:00. Have already cleaned off the ink by 12:00. If I was also registered under a different name and ID number at a neighbouring constituency, I would be able to vote again before 17:00!"

The opposition has also accused the government of funding flights for supporters to key states, which the government denies.

Independent pollster Merdeka Centre has received unconfirmed reports of foreign nationals being given IDs and allowed to vote.

However, an election monitoring organization funded by a foreign government which openly seeks to remove the current ruling party from Malaysia in favour of long-time Wall Street servant Anwar Ibrahim is most certainly not "independent."

The ties between Anwar Ibrahim's "People's Alliance" and the US State Department don't end with the Merdeka Centre, but continue into the opposition's street movement, "Bersih." Claiming to fight for "clean and fair" elections, Bersih in reality is a vehicle designed to mobilize street protests on behalf of Anwar's opposition party. Bersih's alleged leader, Ambiga Sreenevasan, has admitted herself that her organization has received cash directly from the United States via the National Endowment for Democracy's National Democratic Institute (NDI), and convicted criminal George Soros' Open Society...

[The article then tells us about the Anwar/Ambiga/the opposition’s foreign links, which has been well-documented by its author and by Nile Bowie elsewhere, some of which were published in my previous posts (see Related Posts at the end). The following are his concluding paragraphs:]

While the battle cry for Anwar Ibrahim, his People's Alliance, and Bersih have been "clean and fair elections," in reality, allegations of fraud began long before the elections even started. This was not because Anwar's opposition party had evidence of such fraud - instead, this was to implant the idea into people's minds long before the elections, deeply enough to justify claims of stolen elections no matter how the polls eventually turned out.

At one point during the elections, before ballots were even counted, Anwar Ibrahim declared victory - a move that analysts across the region noted was provocative, dangerous, and incredibly irresponsible. Again, there could not have been any evidence that Anwar won, because ballots had not yet been counted. It was again a move meant to manipulate the public and set the stage for contesting Anwar's inevitable loss - in the streets with mobs and chaos in typical Western-backed colour revolution style.

One must seriously ask themselves, considering Anwar's foreign backers, those backers' own stated intentions for Asia, and Anwar's irresponsible, baseless claims before, during, and after the elections - what is "clean and fair" about any of this?

Anwar Ibrahim is a fraud, an overt proxy of foreign interests. His satellite NGOs, including the insidious Bersih movement openly funded by foreign corporate-financier interests, and the equally insidious polling NGO Merdeka who portrays itself as "independent" despite being funded directly by a foreign government, are likewise frauds - drawing in well-intentioned people through slick marketing, just as cigarette companies do.

And like cigarette companies who sell what is for millions essentially a slow, painful, humiliating death sentence that will leave one broken financially and spiritually before ultimately outright killing them, Anwar's US-backed opposition is also selling Malaysia a slow, painful, humiliating death. Unfortunately, also like cigarettes, well-intentioned but impressionable people have not gathered all of the facts, and have instead have based their support on only the marketing, gimmicks, slogans, and tricks of a well-oiled, manipulative political machine.

For that folly, Malaysia may pay a heavy price one day - but for Anwar and his opposition party today, they have lost the elections, and the cheap veneer of America's "democracy promotion" racket is quickly peeling away. For now, America has tripped in mid-pivot toward its hegemonic agenda in Asia, with Malaysia's ruling government providing a model for other nations in the region to follow, should they be interested in sovereignty and independent progress - no matter how flawed or slow it may be.
