“Now we can sense the sweet scent and the soulful breeze of the spring, a spring that has just begun and that does not belong to a specific race, ethnicity, nation or region, a spring that will soon reach all the territories in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. He will be the spring of all the justice seekers, freedom lovers and the followers of heavenly prophets. He will be the spring of humankind and the greenery of all ages. Let us join hands and clear the way for his eventual arrival, with empathy and cooperation, in harmony and unity. Let us march on this path to salvation for the thirsty souls of humankind to taste immortal joy and grace. Long live this spring, long live this spring — again and again, long live this spring.”

“He will come to return all the children of Adam, irrespective of their skin color, to their innate origin after a long history of separation and division, linking them to eternal happiness and joy. The arrival of the ultimate saviour, Jesus Christ and the righteous, will bring about an eternally bright future for humankind, not by force or by waging wars but through thought-awakening and developing kindness in everyone. Their arrival will breathe new life into the cold and frozen hearts and bodies of the world. He will bless humankind with a spring that puts an end to our winter of ignorance, poverty and war with the tidings of a season of blossoming. He will end the winter of ignorance for humankind.”

“He will come, and he will cut through ignorance, superstition and prejudice by opening the gates of science and knowledge. He will establish a world brimming with prudence, and he will prepare the ground for the collective, active and constructive participation of all in global management. He will come to grant kindness, hope, freedom and dignity to all humankind as a gift. He will come so that humankind will taste the pleasure of being human and being in the company of other humans. He will come so that hands will be joined, hearts will be filled with love, and thoughts will be purified and will be at the service of the security, welfare, happiness, well-being and peace of all.”

“If it does not, then that will contradict his wisdom. God has promised us a man of kindness, a man who loves people and absolute justice, a man who is a perfect human being, named the Imam Al-Mahdi — a man who will come in the company of Jesus Christ and the righteous. By using the inherent potential of all the worthy men and women of all nations — I repeat, the inherent potential of all the worthy men and women of all nations — he will lead humanity into achieving its glorious and eternal ideals. The arrival of the ultimate saviour will mark a new beginning, a rebirth and a resurrection. It will be the beginning of peace, lasting security and genuine life. His arrival will be the end of oppression, immorality, poverty and discrimination and the beginning of justice, love and empathy.”

“Moreover, the existence of the veto right and monopolization of power in the Security Council have made it nearly impossible to defend the rights of the nations. The issue of United Nations restructuring is vital; the need has been emphasized time and again by State representatives. That goal that yet to be accomplished. I would like to urge the States Members of the United Nations and the Secretary-General and his colleagues to place the issue high on their agenda and to devise an appropriate mechanism to make it happen. The Non-Aligned Movement stands ready to aid the United Nations in that essential endeavour. Creating peace and lasting security with a decent life for all, although a great and historic mission, can be accomplished. Almighty God has not left us alone in that mission and has said that it will surely happen.”

“The need to remove structural barriers and to encourage the process of universal participation in global management has never been greater. The United Nations lacks the efficiency to bring about the required changes. If this inefficiency persists, nations will lose hope in the ability of global structures to defend their rights. If the United Nations is not restructured, international interactions and the spirit of collective global cooperation will be tarnished, and the standing of the United Nations will be damaged. The United Nations, which was established with the purpose of expanding justice and reinstituting universal human rights, has in practice been engulfed by discrimination, preparing a supportive ground for domination by a few powerful countries. Consequently, United Nations inefficiency has increased.”

“Fortunately, we are now at a historic juncture. On the one hand, Marxism is no longer around; it has been practically eliminated from management systems. On the other hand, capitalism is bogged down in a self- made quagmire. Indeed, it has reached a deadlock and appears to be unable to come up with any noteworthy solutions to the world’s various economic, political, security and cultural problems. The Non-Aligned Movement is proud to again emphasize the rightfulness of its historic decision to reject the power polarities and unbridled hegemony ruling the world. On behalf of the members of Non-Aligned Movement, I would like to invite all the countries in the world to play a more active role in making it possible for everybody to contribute to global decision-making processes.”

“We must make a more coordinated effort to create, promote and firmly establish the language needed to enable us to design the bodies needed for a united world rule that is imbued with justice, love, freedom and amity. Participation in global management is the basis of lasting peace. The Non-Aligned Movement, the second largest transregional group after the United Nations, held its sixteenth summit in Tehran with the motto of “Joint global management”, cognizant of the importance of this issue and of the shortcomings of the current mismanagement in the emergence of crises and problems afflicting the world today. During the summit, participating Heads of State and representatives of more than 120 countries underscored the necessity of more serious and effective participation of all nations in global management.”

“Governments that are born of free national will must believe in their own unlimited capabilities and know that they can achieve victory if they fight fiercely to combat an unjust world order and to defend human rights. We must lay the ground for united world rule by insisting on justice in all its aspects, strengthening unity and friendship and expanding economic, social, cultural and political interaction in independent and specialized organizations. We must care about the interests of all the people of the world and join hands to reform the current United Nations entities with joint efforts and cooperation. The United Nations belongs to its Member States, and therefore the existence of any discrimination among those Members is a great insult to all. Any discrimination or monopolization of power in the Organization is unacceptable.”

“Can such an order exist without the contribution of all to the way the world is run? It is abundantly evident that when all peoples and Governments start to think, commit themselves to the aforementioned principles, focus on internationally important issues and participate in decision-making, it will be possible for their desires to be realized. In raising collective awareness, the possibility of governing the world jointly becomes more real and the chances of putting it into practice increase. Together, therefore, we must trust in God Almighty and stand up to the rapacious minority with all our strength in order to isolate them, so that they can no longer decide the destiny of other nations. We must believe in the bounty of God’s blessing and mercy and seek it within the integration and unity of human society.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“We need an order that recognizes man as God’s supreme creature, possessing both material and spiritual qualities and a pure and divine nature, filled with the desire to seek justice and truth; that aims to restore human dignity and believes in universal happiness and the possibility of perfection; that seeks peace, lasting security and welfare for everyone, in all walks of life, around the globe; that is founded on trust and kindness and brings our thoughts, hearts and hands closer together and in which rulers love their people; that is just and fair, makes everybody equal before the law, and has no double standards; that allows world leaders to see themselves as committed servants of their people, not their superiors; and that sees authority as a sacred gift from a people to its rulers, not an opportunity to amass power and wealth.”

“Human and ethical values are sacrificed in order to win votes, and any willingness to listen to the demands of the people has become merely a tool to be used at election time. The current world order is discriminatory and based on injustice. What should be done, and what is the way out of the current situation? There is no doubt that the world is in need of a new order and a fresh way of thinking.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Such Powers seek only supremacy; they do not desire peace and they definitely do not promote it in the service of their nations. Are we to believe that those who spend hundreds of millions of dollars on election campaigns have the interests of the peoples of the world at heart? Despite what the big political parties in the capitalist countries claim, the money that goes into election campaigns is usually nothing but an investment on the part of the ruling parties. In such countries, people have to vote for parties that represent only a small percentage of voters. The will and views of the masses have little impact or influence on big decisions, especially those concerning major domestic and foreign policies in the United States and Europe. Their voices go unheard even when they constitute 99 per cent of their societies.”

“The order that is rooted in the anti-human concepts of slavery and colonialism, old and new, is responsible for poverty, corruption, ignorance, oppression and discrimination in every corner of the world. The current world order has certain characteristics. It is founded on materialism and thus is unmoored from moral values. It has been shaped by selfishness, deception, hatred and animosity. It believes in labelling human beings, humiliating other nations and dominating and trampling on the rights of others. It seeks to expand its domination by spreading discord and conflict among ethnic groups and nations. It aims to monopolize power, wealth, science and technology. The policies of the world’s main centres of power are based on the principles of domination and conquest.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“I do not believe that Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists or others have any problems among themselves, or are hostile to one another. They get along comfortably and live together in an atmosphere of peace and amity. They are all devoted to the cause of justice, purity and love. The general tendency of States has always been to work towards positive common aspirations to the qualities that reflect great beauty and nobility, divine and human. The current abysmal state of the world and the bitter incidents of its history are due mainly to iniquitous management by the self-proclaimed centres of power, which have dedicated themselves to the Devil.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Such supposedly genuine claims can in no way justify continuing with the current oppressive international order, because in fact poverty is being imposed on States, and the Powers’ are pursuing their ambitions and goals either by deceit or by resort to force. To justify their inhuman actions, they promote the theory of the survival of the fittest. Yet in principle, what most Governments and States and their peoples are seeking is fairness; they submit humbly to what is right and what they want is to foster dignity, prosperity and constructive relations. The vast majority of people have no interest in expanding their territories, nor do they seek enormous wealth. They have no disputes among themselves on matters of principle and have never played a part in unleashing the disastrous events of history.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Some people try to justify it by saying that everything is normal and a ref lection of divine will, thereby putting the blame on States for all prevalent vices and evils. They are of the opinion that it is States that succumb to discrimination and tyranny. It is States that surrender to dictatorship and greed. It is States that submit to the hegemony and arrogance of expansionist Powers. It is States that are influenced by the propaganda tactics of other Powers, and most of the evils in our world are the result of their passivity and willingness to live under the sway of the world Powers. Such are the arguments raised by those who tend to blame States for the unfavourable conditions that prevail around the world, with the aim of justifying the attitudes and destructive behaviour of the ruling minority.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Despite advances in scientific knowledge and technology, the aspirations of Adam’s children have not yet been fulfilled. Does anybody believe that the continuation of the current order is capable of bringing about happiness for human society? Today everyone is discontented and disappointed with the current international order. Human beings do not deserve the continuous sufferings brought about by the present situation. The God of wisdom and compassion, who loves all human beings, has not ordained such a destiny for humankind. He has ordered humans, as the supreme creatures, to make the best and most beautiful life on Earth along the lines of justice, love and dignity. We must therefore think of a solution. Who is responsible for all the sufferings and failures?”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“The continued threat by the uncivilized Zionists to resort to military action against our great nation is a clear example of this bitter reality. A state of mistrust has cast its shadow on international relations, while there is no trusted or just authority to help resolve world conflicts. No one feels secure or safe, even those who have stockpiled thousands of atomic bombs and other arms in their arsenals. With regard to the environment, which is a common resource and heritage of all humankind that ensures man’s survival, it has been seriously damaged and devastated as a result of the irresponsible and excessive use of resources, particularly by capitalists across the world. That situation that has caused massive drought, flood, and pollution, inf licting irreparable damage and seriously jeopardizing human life on Earth.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“The human soul has become frustrated and the essence of humankind humiliated and suppressed. With regard to the political and security situation, unilateralism, the application of double standards and the imposition of wars, instability and foreign occupation in order to ensure economic interests and expand dominance over sensitive centres of the world have become the order of the day. The arms race and intimidation by nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction by the hegemonic Powers have become prevalent. Testing new generations of ultra-modern weaponry and the pledge to disclose those armaments in due time is now being used as part of a new language of threat against nations to coerce them into accepting a new era of hegemony.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Authentic and indigenous cultures, the product of centuries — old national efforts, the common denominator of which reflects profound human feelings and love towards beauty and is the force that breeds diversity, cultural life and social dynamism, are under constant attacks and risk extinction. A specific lifestyle, devoid of individual or social identity, is being imposed on nations by the organized and systematic destruction and the humiliation of identities. The family, the most noble social institution and a centre emanating love and humankind, has been seriously weakened and its constructive role is on the decline. The sublime role and nature of women as heavenly beings, manifestations of the divine image and beauty and the main pillars of every society, have been damaged and abused by the powerful and the wealthy.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Development planning, based on a capitalist economy, which runs in a vicious circle, triggers unhealthy and devastating competition and is a failed practice. With regard to the cultural situation, from the standpoint of the politicians who control the centres of world power, concepts such as moral principles, purity, honesty, integrity, compassion and self-sacrifice are typically rejected as defunct and outdated notions and an impediment to the accomplishment of their goals. They openly talk about their disbelief in the relevance of ethics to political and social affairs.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“With regard to the economic situation, poverty is on the rise and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. The total foreign debt of 18 industrialized countries exceeds $60 trillion, while the repayment of half of that amount would be sufficient to eradicate poverty in the world. Economies dependent on consumerism and the exploitation of people only serve the interests of a limited number of countries. The creation of worthless paper assets through influence and control over the world’s economic centres constitutes the greatest abuse in history and is considered a major contributor to the global economic crisis. It has been reported that $32 trillion in paper assets were printed by one Government alone.”

“Imagine if international economic institutions had not been under outside pressures and were allowed to perform their duties and functions by using their expertise based on fairness and justice. Imagine if world capitalists had not weakened or victimized national economies in order to make up for their own mistakes. Imagine if integrity and honesty had prevailed in international relations and if all nations and Governments were treated equally and justly in global efforts to build and expand happiness for all humankind. And imagine if tens of other unfavourable situations had not occurred throughout history, how beautiful and pleasant our lives and how lovely the history of humankind would have been. Let us take a look at the state of the world today.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Imagine if the drums of ethnic, religious or racial conflicts not been beaten, and if differences had not been used for the purpose of advancing political agendas. Imagine if the right to criticize the hegemonic policies and actions of world Zionism had been recognized so as to allow the world media to report freely and shed light on the realities, instead of making deceitful gestures of seeming to back freedom but in a way that offends the sanctities and most sacred beliefs of human beings and divine messengers, who, as the purest and most compassionate human beings, are the gift of the Almighty to humankind. Imagine if the Security Council had not been under the domination of a limited number of Governments, thus preventing the United Nations from carrying out its responsibilities in a just and equitable manner.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Imagine if Saddam Hussein had not invaded Iran and the big Powers had supported the rights of the Iranian people instead of siding with Saddam. Imagine if the tragic incident of 11 September and the military actions against Afghanistan and Iraq that left millions killed and homeless had not happened, and if, instead of killing and throwing the culprit into the sea without trial or without informing the world and people of America, an independent fact-finding team had been formed to make the general public aware of the truth behind the incident and to prepare the way for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. Imagine if extremism or terrorism had not been used to secure political goals, if arms had been turned into pens, and if military expenditures had been used to promote well-being and amity among nations.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“Imagine that humanitarian values had been viewed as the criterion for social dignity instead of aff luence and consumerism Imagine if humankind had not experienced the Dark Ages and if the centres of power had not hindered the flourishing of knowledge and constructive thoughts. Imagine if the Crusades and the ensuing periods of slavery and colonialism had not happened, and if the successors of the Dark Ages had followed a course based on humanitarian principles. Imagine if the First and Second World Wars in Europe, the wars in Korea, Viet Nam, Africa, Latin America and in the Balkans not happened, and if, instead of the occupation of Palestine and imposition of a fake Government, displacement and genocide of millions of people around the globe, the truth behind those wars based on justice had been revealed.”

“Peoples of different colours, inclinations, languages, customs and traditions persistently pursued their aspirations to build a noble society for a more beautiful life, blessed with lasting peace, security and happiness. Despite all of the efforts on the part of righteous people and justice-seekers and the sufferings and pains endured by masses of people in the quest to achieve happiness and victory, the history of humankind is marked, except in rare cases, with unfulfilled dreams and failures. Imagine, for a moment, that there had been no egoism, distrust, malicious behaviour or dictatorships, with no one violating the rights of others.”
2012-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 67 (2012)
“I am here to voice to the Assembly and to the whole world the divine and humanitarian message of the learned men and women of my country, a message that Iran’s great orator and poet, Saadi, presented to humanity in his eternal poetry: “Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul, If one member is afflicted with pain, Other members uneasy will remain.” I have talked over the past seven years about the current challenges, solutions and prospects of the future world. Today, I want to raise and discuss such issues from a different perspective. Thousands of years have passed since the children of Adam — peace be upon him — started to settle down in various parts of the Earth.”

“I represent a conscious nation that is dedicated to the cause of freedom, peace and compassion, a nation that has experienced the agony and bitter times of aggression and imposed wars and that profoundly values the blessings of peace and stability. I am now here for the eighth time in the eighth year of my service to the noble people in this Assembly of sisters and brothers from across the world to show to the world that my noble nation, like its brilliant past, has a global vision and welcomes any effort intended to provide and promote peace, stability and tranquillity, which can be only realized through the harmony, cooperation and joint management of the world.”

“We have gathered here to ponder and work together in order to build a better life for the entire human community and for our nations. Coming from Iran — the land of glory and beauty, the land of knowledge, culture, wisdom and morality, the cradle of philosophy and mysticism, the land of compassion and light, the land of scientists, scholars, philosophers, masters of literature and writers, the land of Avicenna, Ferdowsi, Hafiz, Maulana, Attar, Khayyám and Shahriar — I represent a great and proud nation that is one of the founders of human civilization and an inheritor of respected universal values.”

“Today nations have been awakened and, with the increase in public awareness, they no longer submit to oppression and discrimination. The world today is witnessing more than ever a widespread awakening in Islamic lands, in Asia, in Europe and in America. Every day, those movements are expanding their scope and influence to pursue the realization of justice, freedom and the creation of a better tomorrow. Our great nation, with its millennial civilization and history, stands ready to join hands with other nations to march along that beautiful path, in harmony and in line with the shared aspirations of humankind. Let us salute love and freedom, let us salute justice and knowledge and let us salute the bright future that awaits humankind.”

“That 19 11-50865 future will be built when humankind sets off on the path of the divine prophets and the righteous, under the leadership of Imam Al-Mahdi, the ultimate saviour of humankind and the heir to all divine messengers and leaders and to the pure generation of our great prophet. The creation of a supreme and ideal society with the arrival of a perfect human being who is a true and sincere lover of all humankind is the guaranteed promise of Allah. He will come with Jesus Christ to lead those who love freedom and justice to eradicate tyranny and discrimination and promote knowledge, peace, justice, freedom and love across the world. He will present to every single individual all the beauty of the world and all good things that bring happiness, the promise of a better tomorrow and the sweet taste of life to all humankind.”

“Therefore, changes that include the restructuring of the United Nations are considered as the basic demands of nations and must be addressed by the General Assembly. During last year’s session, I emphasized the importance of this issue and called for the designation of the present decade as the decade of shared and collective global management, and for all capacities and resources to be mobilized in that direction. I would now like to reiterate my proposal. I am sure that, through international cooperation, the efforts of committed world leaders and Governments, an insistence on justice and the support of all other nations, we can expedite the process of building a bright common future. This movement is certainly on the rightful path to its creation, and carries with it the assurance of a promising future for humankind.”

“As their representatives, we have an obligation to defend their rights. Although some Powers continuously try to frustrate all international efforts aimed at promoting collective cooperation, we must nevertheless strengthen our belief in achieving the desired goal of establishing shared and collective cooperation to run the world. The United Nations was created to enable the effective participation of all nations in international decision-making processes. We all know that this goal has not yet been fulfilled, owing to the absence of justice in the current management structures and mechanisms of the United Nations. The composition of the Security Council is unjust and inequitable.”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“The shared and collective management of the world must be achieved in its true sense and be based on the underlying principles enshrined in international law. Justice must serve as the criterion and the basis for all international decisions and actions. All of us should acknowledge the fact that there is no way other than the shared and collective management of the world to put an end to today’s worldwide disorder, tyranny and discrimination. This is indeed the only way to ensure the prosperity and welfare of human society, which is an established and vivid truth. While acknowledging that truth, one should note that acknowledgement alone is not enough. We must believe in it and spare no effort towards its realization. The shared and collective management of the world is the legitimate right of all nations.”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“Efforts must be made, with firm resolve and through collective cooperation, to map out a new plan on the basis of principles and the very foundation of such universal human values as monotheism, justice, freedom, love and the quest for happiness, on the basis of happiness for all. The idea of creating the United Nations remains a great and historic achievement of humankind. Its importance must be appreciated and its capacities must be used for our noble goals, to the extent possible. We should not allow the Organization, which reflects the collective will and shared aspirations of the community of nations, to deviate from its main course and play into the hands of the world Powers. The necessary groundwork must be laid to ensure collective participation and the involvement of nations in efforts to promote lasting peace and security.”

“Those values can be realized only through independence, the recognition of others’ rights, harmony and cooperation. Is there any way to address the problems and challenges besetting the world by using the prevailing international mechanisms and tools so as to help humankind achieve its long-standing aspirations of peace, security and equality? All those who tried to introduce reforms while preserving the existing norms and tendencies have failed. The valuable efforts made by the Non-Aligned Movement, the Group of 77 and the Group of 15, as well as by some prominent individuals, have failed to bring about fundamental changes, although they did have their respective impacts and effects. The governance and management of the world require fundamental reforms, but what has to be done now?”

“Why should it not have been allowed to bring him to trial so as to help efforts to recognize those who 11-50865 18 launched terrorist groups and brought wars and other miseries into the region? Is there any classified information that must be kept secret? They view Zionism as a sacred notion or ideology. Any question concerning its foundation and history is condemned by them as an unforgivable sin. However, they endorse and allow sacrileges and insults against the beliefs of other divine religions. Real freedom, justice, dignity and well-being and lasting security are the rights of all nations. Those values can be achieved neither by reliance on the current inefficient system of world governance nor through the intervention of the world’s arrogant Powers or the gun barrels of NATO forces.”

“Last year, when the need to form a fact-finding team to undertake a thorough investigation concerning the hidden elements involved in the 11 September incident was brought up — an idea also endorsed by all independent Governments and nations, as well as by the majority of people in the United States — my country and I were pressured and threatened by the Government of the United States. Instead of assigning a fact-finding team, they killed the main perpetrator and threw his body into the sea. Would it not have been reasonable to bring to justice and openly try the main perpetrator of the incident in order to identify the elements and reasons behind the safe space provided for the invading aircraft to attack the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center?”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“Hypocrisy and deceit are allowed in order to secure their interests and imperialistic intentions. Drug trafficking and the killing of innocent human beings are also allowed in pursuit of such diabolical goals. Despite NATO’s presence in occupied Afghanistan, there has been a dramatic increase in the production of illicit drugs in that country. They tolerate no question or criticism and, instead of presenting a reason for their violations, they always put themselves in the position of a claimant. By using their imperialistic media network, which is under the influence of colonialism, they threaten anyone who questions the Holocaust and the event of 11 September with sanctions and military action.”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“They proclaim themselves the indisputable custodians of all Governments and nations through intimidation, recourse to threats and force, and the abuse of international mechanisms. They insist on imposing their lifestyle and beliefs on others. They officially support racism. They weaken countries through military intervention and destroy their infrastructure in order to plunder their resources by making them all the more dependent. They sow the seeds of hate and hostility among nations and people of different pursuits in order to prevent them from fulfilling their goals of development and progress. All cultural identities, lives and values, as well as the wealth of nations and human values, including of women, children and youth, are sacrificed to their hegemonistic tendencies and their inclination to enslave and capture other nations.”
2011-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 66 (2011)
“The prime reason should be sought in the beliefs and tendencies of the establishment, which is made up of people in conflict with their inner human instincts and disposition, who also have no faith in God and in the path of the divine prophets to replace their lust for power and materialistic ends with heavenly values. To them, only power and wealth prevail. Every attempt must be made to bring into focus those sinister goals. Oppressed nations have no hope to safeguard or protect their legitimate rights against those Powers. Those Powers seek their progress, prosperity and dignity through the poverty, humiliation and annihilation of others. They consider themselves superior to others, enjoying special privileges or concessions. They have no respect for others and casually violate the rights of all nations and Governments.”

“What would happen if the same amount were allocated to poor nations? What is the justification for the presence of hundreds of United States military and intelligence bases in various parts of the world, including 268 bases in Germany, 124 in Japan, 87 in the Republic of Korea, 83 in Italy, 45 in the United Kingdom, 21 in Portugal and hundreds of other bases in other parts of the world? Is that anything other than military occupation? Do not the bombs deployed in the United States bases undermine the security of other nations? The main question is the root causes of such attitudes.”

“Can the flower of democracy blossom from NATO’s missiles, bombs and guns? If some European countries still use the Holocaust — after six decades — as an excuse to pay ransom to the Zionists, should it not be an obligation of the slave masters and colonial Powers to pay reparations to the affected nations? If the damage and losses of the period of slavery and colonialism were indeed compensated for, what would happen to the manipulators and behind-the-scenes political powers in the United States and Europe? Would the gaps between the North and the South remain? If only half of the military expenditures of the United States and its allies in NATO were cut to help solve the economic problems in their own countries, would they be experiencing any symptoms of the economic crisis?”

“There exist dozens of other similar questions, and of course the answers are clear. The majority of nations and Governments of the world have had no role in the creation of the current global crisis, and in fact are themselves the victims of such policies. It is as clear as daylight that the same slave-masters and colonial Powers that once triggered the two World Wars have caused widespread misery and disorder, with far- reaching effects across the globe since then. They continue to control the international political centres and the Security Council. Do those arrogant Powers really have the competence and ability to run or govern the world? Is it acceptable that they call themselves the sole defenders of freedom, democracy and human rights, 17 11-50865 while they attack and occupy other countries militarily?”

“What country’s annual military spending exceeds $1 trillion annually — more than the military budgets of all countries of the world combined? Which Governments are the ones most indebted in the world, and which Government threatens all nations and countries on any pretext? Who dominates the policymaking establishments of the world economy? Who are the ones who are responsible for the world economic recession and are imposing its consequences in the United States and Europe on Asian, African, Latin American and all other nations? Which Governments are ever ready to drop thousands of bombs on other countries but ponder and hesitate to send a bit of food aid to famine-stricken people in Somalia or elsewhere? Who are the ones dominating the Security Council, which is ostensibly responsible for safeguarding international security?”

“Who used atomic bombs against defenceless people and then stockpiled thousands of warheads in their arsenals? Whose economies rely on waging wars and selling arms? Who provoked and encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade and impose an eight-year war on Iran, and who assisted and equipped him to deploy chemical weapons against our cities and our people? Who used the mysterious 11 September incident as a pretext to attack Afghanistan and Iraq, killing, injuring and displacing millions in those two countries, with the ultimate goal of bringing the Middle East and its oil resources under its domination? Who undermined the Bretton Woods system and printed trillions of dollars without the backing of gold reserves or an equivalent currency, a move that triggered inflation worldwide and was intended to prey on the economic gains of other nations?”

“Who imposed colonialism on the world for over four centuries? Who occupied lands and massively plundered other nations’ resources, destroyed talents and obliterated native languages, cultures and national identities? Who triggered the First and Second World Wars, which left 70 million dead and hundreds of millions injured or homeless? Who created the wars in the Korean peninsula and Viet Nam? Who imposed, through deceit and hypocrisy, the Zionist agenda and almost 60 years of war, homelessness, terror and mass murder on the Palestinian people and the countries of the region? Who imposed and supported for decades military dictatorships and totalitarian regimes on Asian, African and Latin American nations, and established friendly relations with all of them?”

“Those who dominate and run the centres of global economic power put the blame on peoples’ religious aspirations and the pursuit of the path of divine prophets, or on the weakness of nations and the poor performance of a number of groups or individuals. They claim that only their views, approaches and prescriptions can save humankind and the world economy. I ask everyone here whether they think that the root cause of the problems can be solved in the prevailing international order of the way the world is governed. I want to draw attention to the following questions. Who abducted by force tens of millions of people from their homes in Africa and other regions of the world during the dark period of slavery, making Africans the victims of the materialistic greed of the United States and Europe?”
