ABID ULLAH JAN

Abid Ullah Jan has written broadly on the issues of afflict the world today. He has written 6 books and more than a thousand articles on the causes and cures of the friction between the developed and the developing world, particularly between Europe and America and the Muslim world. He is editor of DictatorshipWach and the ICSSA.

Abid Ullah Jan not only takes a different view from most political analysts, his deep research pushes dense and faulty assessments off the table and replaces it with sensible analysis of the deepening instability of global capitalism and de facto colonization that we can all understand. As he says, “assessments and analysis of the mainstream media and academia make sense only within the mental borders of an empire. As soon as one steps outside those borders they make no sense at all. How could it? It is designed to lay claim to the wealth and way of life of those at the periphery of empire.”

Jan’s 17 years of deep study of life in the colonized world and its interaction with the former and new colonial masters builds a new school of thought. Where else do you read the history of colonialism in progress or the end of democracy and the main reasons behinds the empire’s war on the world of Islam? Or western societies evolving from thriving by direct colonialism to surviving by de facto colonization becoming the very signature of "civilized" nations? Or that the so-called war on terrorism is specifically designed to entrench this system of laying claim to others wealth and consolidating repressive, puppet regimes in the Muslim world? Or that all the wars and occupations are directed to protect petro-dollar and sustain the present economic order? The exposures of these realities provide a new foundation upon which to understand the world.

That understanding of colonial history and associated economic monopoly leads us to Abid Jan’s explanation of how Western "democracies" evolved from feudalism to today’s allies of an empire; how they retain exclusive titles to nature’s wealth, and how they want the impoverished, occupied world to adopt a way of life according to their will and wishes. Those monopolies, excluding the weak from their rightful share and the right to self-determination, follows naturally. To his surprise, this latest research exposes the calls for democracy and liberation in the Muslim world as only justifications for sustaining a system of theft, called rule of law, that Western powerbrokers spent 700 plus years putting in place. In short, except as continuation of colonial fascism under different labels, they are not benevolent philosophies and system for the benefit of the deprived and oppressed at all.

Abid Jan looks deeply within belief systems protecting the power structure and its stolen wealth and concludes the debris of centuries of custom and law, and the fear of paying reparations for genocides and never-ending occupations are the barriers preventing Western societies from evolving into peaceful and far more productive societies. The focus remains on keeping the poor poorer and the weak weaker and occupied.

Abid Jan explains how the elimination of the myths, such as Islamism and Islamist terrorism—used for keeping the general public fearful of an enemy— will eliminate the barriers to Muslims and others’ exercising their right to self-determination. This would lead to equality, peace and increase economic efficiency equal to the invention of money, writing, and electricity. The suffering resulting from policies and practices to sustain the present day economic order and tyrannical empire is not limited to the occupied nations. People in Europe and American are paying an equal cost. Giving the colonized people the right to self-determination and breaking the chains of imperial domination would provide all the world’s citizens with a quality life. This work shines a bright light on what we must do to restructure to a peaceful and prosperous world.

Many have, or sense, these fundamentals of oppression, occupations and wars already; they just have not learned how to articulate them. A quick read of Jan’s research will provide the articulation tools to go head to head with those imposing the very philosophy which is sustaining de facto colonization and poverty abroad and repressive police states and constant fear at home. Once the masses and their negotiators are armed with the simple tools of truth, that is a debate the powerbrokers and their negotiators cannot win.

And, as documented in Abid Jan’s work, they are not winning. Being fully free is having the right to living their own way of life as well as having full and equal economic rights. If the colonized people share this knowledge among themselves, and especially if universities in the occupied world accept the job of shattering the myths, crafted by the colonialist to perpetuate fear and domination, no amount of propaganda and bluster can stop the deprived all over the world from gaining their full rights and rising out of vicious cycle of inequality and oppression.
