The Uncle Sam is the beloved nickname by which the United States of America is known. The truth about Uncle Sam is that he is actually Sam Wilson, who, according to many sources, supplied meat to the American army during its war with Britain. Will the question be different when we ask ourselves: What does Butcher Sam want instead of what does Uncle Sam want? I think we know the answer to the first part of the question while the second part remains


dependent on the identity that Sam chose for himself (the Uncle) and who wants what he wants?


A small but important book, but you won't be surprised by its content. Chomsky doesn't write for us, the suffering Arabs, who are under the yoke of American rule with its reckless policies that move our world in secret with its myths, rules, laws, and promotional culture for the common enemy and the common friend. Rather, he writes for his people, who are dragged into wars without knowing their reasons and motives and are oblivious to the actual results of their achievements. So much so that the world in their eyes becomes a silent, dark, and unexplored place until their great powers point to a certain area and describe it as the "enemy of the day" that must be confronted and repelled before it crosses their borders. How much pain do the intellectuals of these peoples bear that they cannot bear and can hardly believe. One of these examples is Chomsky. Their views are subject to excision because they do not match the state's policy and expose it publicly. In short, the book talks about the black policy of white America in the world after World War II, where the first applications of the containment policy were implemented. This policy was followed in the Cold War with the Soviet Union and is still following the lines of this policy with differences determined by the enemy itself with its strength and the way to confront it. The architect of this policy is George Kennan, who uncovered what is known as the vast field of America that requires its protection and the guarantee of its sovereignty, which includes half of the Western Hemisphere, Western Europe, the Far East, and the Third World countries. The world is divided into economic and political blocs according to its climate and prevailing mood. The facts that Chomsky mentions must be read by every American to understand its secrets and form a clear picture of the policy of his country. It is also necessary for us to read it so that we do not blindly follow its plans like sheep. The preface to these articles by the brilliant pen of Mohamed Hussein Heikal was worth reading, as was the pen of the Arab Adil al-Mu'allim in the second part.

From which rotten tree did the structure of that corrupt state originate?!

It is a question that has been lingering in the minds of many. The state in question seems to be marred by various forms of corruption, from political to economic.

The once-esteemed institutions have now become breeding grounds for unethical practices and greed.

The people, who should be the beneficiaries of a just and prosperous state, are instead suffering the consequences of its decay.

It is high time that the roots of this corruption are unearthed and addressed.

Only then can there be hope for a brighter future and a restoration of the state's former glory.

The Sam is an elite of the brightest minds on the face of the earth. If democracy conflicts with American interests, then democracy must go. Democracy? They are the ones who put democracy in place. They are the ones who formulate it. We are the ones who allow this one to be rich and that one to be poor. The whole thing is to set our eyes. What? One of them fiddles with our policy? We will pounce on him from every side. We will make him wish he had never entered the world of politics. It is an important book in the world of politics. Why not? And politics in general is American politics. You will understand the decisions up close. You will learn why they support this and oppose that. For this country and not the other. For these upheavals. How their aid reaches governments that use force against their people. In the end, the Sam only wants the well-being of the people.

Reading this book is an important and necessary intellectual task!!


"America"


The affectionate mother... the giant in the eyes of the established media


Its intertwined theories have been spread for years...since its discovery


Until this moment... above every particle and every atom on this planet


A wake-up call...



This powerful text seems to be highlighting the significance of a particular book related to America. It portrays America as a kind of affectionate mother figure yet also emphasizes its dominant position in the eyes of the media. The theories associated with America have been around for a long time, perhaps since its very discovery, and continue to have an impact until now. The mention of a "wake-up call" implies that there is something important or perhaps even alarming that the book is trying to convey. It makes the reader curious to know more about what these theories are and how they have influenced the perception of America on a global scale.

The book talks about the powerful American policies after World War II, which are hidden behind terms such as democracy, human rights, and raising the living standard, etc. It also describes the policies of the State Department with the Foreign Relations Committee dominated by businessmen. After World War II, the United States came to possess half of the world's wealth while only accounting for 6.3% of the world's population.

Therefore, it was the responsibility of the American policymakers to maintain that hegemony.

This was achieved by reducing support for social programs and increasing military spending to achieve the goals of keeping the American economy dominant in the world by making other countries service-oriented countries that work to complete the economies of the major industrialized countries.

The United States had to get rid of its biggest competitor, the Soviet Union, by sowing the seeds of corruption and self-destruction. It was also necessary for the United States to penetrate the Middle Eastern countries and engage in a fierce struggle against them under the pretexts of human rights and raising the living standard and following autocratic governments so that the Soviet Union could not penetrate them.

Regarding the European and Japanese industrialized countries, they were converted into large industrial workshops under the supervision of the United States. The United States could easily control Japan by establishing military bases in the Third World to control oil. Although the United States has enough oil, it must control the world's energy sources to control and pressure the major economies.

As for the Third World, it must be controlled for the reasons mentioned above, and in addition, it must be a cheap consumer market for American and Western goods.

When any country refuses to play the service role or steps out of line or the path set for it by the United States, it will face a huge media smear campaign to find justifications for attacking that country to make it a living example. The author lists many examples, such as Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Haiti, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, Guatemala, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

The means used vary from time to time and from country to country. Direct military intervention is no longer suitable for the era, and other means have emerged on the scene, such as direct foreign investment and providing aid, for example, to encourage agricultural products for the American market at the expense of strategic products for domestic consumption, which leads to an increase in domestic production and poverty of the people and the suppression of the opposition.

Or other means such as the International Bank and the Monetary Fund, which help to liberalize the national economy, that is, to penetrate foreign capital into the country and then convert the country into a service country for the American economy - that is, to export raw materials and import finished goods.

The book is full of the bullying methods practiced by the United States against any country that tries to step out of line or any national who tries to come to power with a real awakening, especially if the country is very weak because it will become a target for the least developed countries, so it will be destroyed even if it sacrifices its people!!

In 1949, the United States made a controversial decision. It handed over Eastern Europe espionage to Ex-Nazi Richard Gehlen.

The actions the U.S. took in Greece then became a model for the Vietnam War. The U.S. aimed to "defend" a country against its own population. In many ways, the U.S. continued where the Nazis left off. It replaced town resistance with fascists and also had Operation Paperclip, which involved hiring war criminals like SS officer Klaus Barbie.

After World War II, in South Korea, 100,000 anti-fascist Koreans were killed (30,000 to 40,000 in Cheju Island only) when the U.S. brought fascists back to power. In Latin America, for decades, the U.S. battled what it called the "dangerous heresy" - the idea that the government has direct responsibility for the welfare of the people. According to planners, any country believing this heresy was branded communist.

The real threat during the Cold War wasn't the smoke screen of communism. It was third-world nationalism and the need to eradicate the "dangerous heresy". As planner George Kennan clearly stated, "We should not hesitate before police repression by the local government." The threat in Vietnam wasn't Communists conquering Asia by force. It was that they might set a dangerous example of national independence that would inspire other nations in the region, also known as the threat of successful third world nationalism.

The State Department took extreme measures. It wouldn't let Mennonites send pencils to Cambodia, rejected OXFAM's solar pumps, and India's offer of 100 water buffalo. It even stopped shovels from going to Laos to dig up the many unexposed land mines the U.S. had put there. Since 1970, the U.S. has been the number one in vetoing Security Council resolutions. It is now number one at opposing the rest of the world.

We know from Noam that the U.S. prefers to fight the most defenseless countries for assured victory. But here, Noam also points out that the smaller the country, the more its independent success will make larger/stronger countries think, "Damn, if they can defy the U.S., WHY can't we?" George Kennan allowed Japan to industrialize because the U.S. controlled oil imports and could always keep them in check if they stepped out of line.

The death toll by U.S. backed forces in Central America is 200,000. "As Stalin used to say, we're 'dizzy with success.'" The military training forced on one group of U.S. backed Salvadorian soldier trainees was horrific. They were forced to kill dogs by biting their throats or twisting off their heads. They had to watch torture: fingernail removal, cutting off heads, "chopping their bodies to pieces and playing with dismembered arms for fun." All this is happening with our U.S. taxpayer dollars at work.

The U.S. invaded South Vietnam, yet this is still an unspeakable truth. The U.S. achieved its objectives in Vietnam by effectively destroying the country so it would never pose as a successful model. But don't think the U.S. has mellowed over time. In 1991, the U.S. "renewed the embargo and sanctions against Vietnam." Russia publicly admitted that their invasion of Afghanistan was illegal. Imagine the U.S. ever admitting the same about Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The Cold War was two powers controlling their own populations by only focusing on the crimes of the other.

Let's also talk about drug fatalities. Every year, 300,000 people die from tobacco and 100,000 from alcohol. Yet, the government focuses a lot of money only on illegal drugs, which kill around 3,500 annually. The U.S. is the world's leading drug peddler because no one will touch U.S. Tobacco. Bakunin predicted how the Russian Revolution turned out. The Bolsheviks destroyed socialism, and both they and the U.S. then pretended what was left was still called socialism. Today, those in power can tolerate you going to the occasional demonstration. But what they don't want is sustained organized pressure. So, the path we must choose is clear.

Noam Chomsky, the renowned thinker and linguist known for his critical political and humanitarian stances, reveals in his book "What Uncle Sam Really Wants" several facts about the US and its foreign relations. He argues that, from a legal perspective, there is sufficient evidence to indict all US presidents since the end of World War II as war criminals or at least deeply involved in war crimes. The weak and poor countries are considered the greatest threat to the US. He also points out that the US has various hidden agendas behind its so-called democratic and human rights slogans. It is willing to give up democracy and use any dictatorial and violent means to maintain its hegemony. Chomsky cites the words and policies of US officials to expose their political plans to subordinate the world to US control, which serves its own interests and enables it to monopolize more than 50% of the world's wealth while the American people accounted for only 6% of the world's population at that time.



Chomsky also discloses that the US, despite its condemnation of Nazi crimes, has allied with Nazis and fascists to carry out inhumane massacres against any resistance that poses a threat to its hegemony. He mentions the US's interference in the Greek civil war in 1948, which led to the death of more than 160,000 people, and its support for the Japanese occupation of South Korea and the subsequent war in 1945 that caused the death of 100,000 people. In addition, the US has supported military coups in many countries to safeguard its investment rights, such as in Iran, Guatemala, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Vietnam, Panama, Nicaragua, and others. Regarding the Gulf War, Chomsky writes that the US intervened to stop Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait not because of any high or noble principles but because Saddam Hussein took the wrong side. Before that, when the war was against Iran, the US did not intervene because it served its interests. Chomsky also does not forget to mention the US's support for Israel's occupation of Palestine.



In the second part of the book, which is a follow-up by Imam Adel who translated the book, it deals with the events that occurred after the publication of the book regarding US foreign policy and what lies behind its formal democracies.

The crimes of the United States against the Latin American countries are of great significance.

This is because of the appalling media neglect of these serious crimes.

The actions of the United States in the region have had a profound impact on the lives and well-being of the people.

From economic exploitation to political interference, the list of misdeeds is long.

However, the media's lack of attention has allowed these crimes to go largely unnoticed by the international community.

This silence only serves to embolden the United States and perpetuate the cycle of injustice.

It is essential that the media take a more active role in reporting on these issues and holding the United States accountable for its actions.

Only then can we hope to see a more just and equitable world for all.

So this is the other part of the story.

It is a story that often goes unnoticed, a story that lies beneath the surface of our seemingly democratic and free world.

Here, without the glare of the media, it is just us, the 80% of the citizens, and the 20% of the world rulers.

It is truly shameful to recognize, or even worse, to accept the fact that slavery has never truly ended. It has simply taken on new and more insidious forms.

Those who speak so loudly about democracy, free elections, and the free world would do well to read this book and share the thoughts within.

For I am truly afraid of the future if it continues down this path.

The future that seems to be marred by the hidden chains of modern-day slavery, a future that threatens to undermine the very ideals we hold dear.

We must wake up, we must take notice, and we must take action to ensure that the story of slavery finally comes to an end.

In the name of Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.


I will here quote a comment by one of my friends on Facebook regarding this book that I hope to read, God willing. The comment is short but it is beneficial and concise.


Abu Khattab al-Salafi said:


I read what Mr. Sam wants........ I thought........ America wants to maintain its vast field (its strategic depth) which almost includes the entire world.......... Therefore, the countries of the world must rotate in the American orbit and any deviation will be met with force........ So any country that gains its political and economic independence.......... is like an apple that can spoil the whole basket (or the domino theory)............... And even to control the third world countries, America establishes relations with very powerful military men as they are a means to overthrow governments that deviate from the script....... Thus, the task of the military has turned into protecting American national security.


The comment was addressed to its owner. And praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

Dear reader, you must know that your view of the country called "the United States of America" will change a great deal after reading this book. You will learn that "Uncle Sam" always deceives you into thinking that you are doing what "you" want, not what "he" wants.

"Uncle Sam" is always cunning, deceitful, and ridiculously powerful. In fact, the first ones to be deceived by him are his own people.

The United States has long been involved in various international affairs under the guise of noble purposes, but in reality, it is often pursuing its own self-interests. It uses its economic, military, and political power to influence and control other countries, sometimes even at the expense of the interests and well-being of the people in those countries.

By reading this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the true nature of the United States and be able to see through the false facade that "Uncle Sam" presents. You will realize that we need to be more critical and discerning when evaluating the actions and policies of this powerful country.

Americans are taught in schools that their country is civilized and humane. However, very often, the actions of the United States have been uncivilized and inhumane. This is a reality that cannot be ignored. Howard Zinn's words ring true when he questions what the common man truly wants from his free nations in prisons and his slaves ruling above the roofs. What does the common man want from nations where the executioner is arrogant and the victim is civilian? What does he want from a nation where its scientists are corrupt and its corruption is scientific? The common man wants all nations' youth to be like the slaves of the sun, but when the sun disappears, every head turns in a lost direction, searching and losing.


Noam Chomsky writes in very short books but with profound content for those who want to understand the way of American politics and what all governments of the "free world" strive for. In the United States today, the Declaration of Independence is hung on the walls of schools, but foreign policy follows Machiavelli. What the United States cares about is the stability and security of the upper classes and foreign investors. Any social and economic success outside of this is a dangerous example that must be destroyed before its influence spreads. For this reason, the smallest, weakest, and poorest country is the most dangerous if it achieves independent success and must be crushed.


Noam talks about how America stages military coups and topples all national governments that want to rise with their countries and peoples. It uses terms like "human rights" and even "democracy." For example, in Libya, just two days after the events of the uprising and the first civil war, all countries came out condemning the killings and crimes of the Gaddafi regime. NATO, led by France, intervened to bomb Libya just three hours after the decision to intervene in the Security Council under the pretext of "protecting civilians." After the fall of the regime and the breeze of freedom blew over the happy Libyan people, the civil war continued for four years and is still ongoing. The Security Council issued an order that was like a school lesson, and cities were destroyed, families were displaced, airports were demolished, and people were killed and kidnapped. And until now, the nations have not spoken about human rights. The war criminals today have a material blessing from the common man... Burke, oh common man.


Where can you see America interfering in the affairs of a third-world country and say that there was a peaceful country? America spreads democracy by force of arms to those countries that have stepped out of line. As for those countries that have military bases and a friendly royal family in their countries, it doesn't matter if their people live in freedom... like the Arabian Gulf and other second-world countries. The important thing is that the power of a country or a dictatorship remains strong or bloody for the common man.


. Most wars, in any case, justify themselves as being humanitarian aid to help people. The United States is not an innocent victim..
