The Grand Illusion of the Roadmap

by Barry Chamish

It's an illusion, this Roadmap To Peace.

President Bush's trip to Roadmap summits in Sharm El Sheikh and Aqaba this week were to further the illusion that he is personally committed to peace for Israel. Most people did not see through this illusion; in fact, except for some of my readers, especially one in Ontario, no one saw through the illusion. But then, most people are under the illusion that they have a choice of leadership when they vote. If PM Sharon has done the Jews only one favor lately, it is that he has finally shattered that illusion for good.

The hard reality behind the illusion is that the Roadmap is one more ugly Vatican manoever to place those unwanted Jews in a deadly trap. Now if anyone dares doubt that Bush is being guided by Rome and its Spanish outpost, please read the following reports and try to draw another conclusion.

I will add not another word until you finish reading:

ACTIVITIES OF SECRETARY-GENERAL IN SPAIN, 6 - 10 APRIL

Secretary-General Kofi Annan departed New York on 6 April and arrived in Madrid, Spain, on Sunday, 7 April, to begin a weeklong visit to Europe that would also take him to Rome and Geneva.

On Sunday evening, he and Mrs. Annan attended a private dinner hosted by King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia at the Palacio de la Zarzuela on the outskirts of the Spanish capital.

In the afternoon, the Secretary-General visited the Madrid-based World Tourism Organization and then addressed a ceremony to mark 160 companies signing up to the Global Compact. (See Press Release SG/SM/8193.)

Also on Tuesday, the Secretary-General conferred with his Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Terje Roed-Larsen, in advance of his meeting the following morning with members of the so-called “Quartet” on the situation in the Middle East.

At that meeting on Wednesday morning, the Secretary-General discussed the escalating crisis for over an hour without aides at Madrid’s Palace of Moncloa with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Piqu? representing the rotating presidency of the European Union, High Representative for European Union Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana, and Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov.

Immediately after the press conference, the Secretary-General departed Madrid for Rome, Italy.

New World Order without Ideologies

by HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal (Jordanian Prince, Uncle of King Abdullah of Jordan and present President of the Club of Rome.)

Hours after the five-week standoff at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity ended, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres arrived in Rome for talks with Premier Silvio Berlusconi and top Vatican officials. Peres met with Vatican Secretary of State Angelo Sodano and Vatican Foreign Minister Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran. During his visit Peres said Italy would be a good venue for a peace conference.

Israel’s Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, said: ‘We have excellent relations with Rome and my personal relations with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi are great.’

Saturday, May 03, 2003 MADRID, Spain — Pope John Paul II (search) began a whirlwind visit to Madrid on Saturday, testing his frail health and seeking to reinvigorate those Spanish Catholics who have strayed from their once-dominant church. The pontiff, who turns 83 this month, arrived at Barajas airport outside Madrid aboard an Alitalia jetliner. King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia greeted him at the VIP terminal as he began his first visit abroad in nine months.

King Juan Carlos, speaking before the pope, praised the pontiff as "a tireless fighter for the most noble causes."

"This will probably be this pope's last visit to Spain, although you never know," the archbishop of Madrid, Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco, said in an interview published Saturday in the newspaper El Mundo.

The meeting on Monday will be the first high- ranking face-to-face talks between the US government and the Vatican since the US-led war in Iraq, which the Pope vehemently opposed.

Pope Meets with Colin Powell, Calls for a Palestinian State

Again, Pope John Paul II takes a position regarding God's covenant land that is not biblical.

As a reminder, PLO Chairman Yassir Arafat had nine meetings with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican since the signing of the Oslo I Agreement on September 13, 1993.

Vatican Signs Agreement with the Palestinians over Jerusalem

The Vatican and the Palestinians signed an agreement on February 15, 2000, stating the following:

An equitable solution for the issue of Jerusalem, based on international resolutions, is fundamental for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, and that unilateral decisions and actions altering the specific character and status of Jerusalem are morally and legally unacceptable; Calling, therefore, for a special statute for Jerusalem, internationally guaranteed, which should safeguard the following: (a). Freedom of religion and conscience for all. (b). The equality before the law of the three monotheistic religions and their Institutions and followers in the City. ©. The proper identity and sacred character of the City and its universally significant, religious and cultural heritage. (d). The Holy Places, the freedom of access to them and of worship in them. (e). The Regime of "Status Quo" in those Holy Places where it applies.

The Israelis responded by saying, "Israel expresses its great displeasure with the declaration made in Rome by the Holy See and the PLO, which includes the issue of Jerusalem, and other issues which are subjects of the Israeli- Palestinian negotiations on permanent status. The agreement signed by these two parties constitutes a regretful intervention in the talks between Israel and the Palestinians."

POWELL HAILS ITALY’S US SUPPORT US Secretary of State Colin Powell has been holding talks with Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini in Rome. He said Italy was the US’s best friend and ally and that President George W Bush was grateful for Italy's contribution during the war with Iraq. Mr Powell also met Pope John Paul II in the Vatican to discuss Middle East peace efforts and the reconstruction of Iraq. It was the first high- level meeting between the US and the Vatican since the Iraq war. During the audience, the Pope spoke of his hopes for the United States- backed 'road map' for Middle East peace. He said he hoped that Israelis and Palestinians would be able finally to enjoy the same security and the same sovereignty. Source: WorldWatch

Victory is in the blood for 'aristocratic' Republican

The Guardian Press Association

The Republican George W Bush will be elected US president on November 7 because he has more royal blood than his opponent, it was claimed today.

Mr Bush has direct descents from William the Conqueror, Henry II and Charles II, according to Burke's Peerage.

He also scores better than his father, who lost the office of president to Bill Clinton, because of his mother's well-to-do ancestors. Barbara Pierce Bush's royal connections include French Bourbon and several Scandinavian monarchs, as well as members of the Russian, Spanish and German monarchies.

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican (news - web sites) moved the last emperor of Austria-Hungary on the path to beatification Saturday, decades after the monarch died in exile.

Danish foreign minister hints at sanctions if road map stalls

By Arnon Regular, Haaretz Correspondent

Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller said Saturday the foreign ministers of the international Quartet (the UN, United States, EU and Russia) had prepared various means of applying pressure to force Israel and the Palestinians to implement the road map for a solution to their conflict.

Moeller, whose country, Denmark, headed the EU presidency when the road map was put together, was speaking on the eve of the arrival in the region of U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell. He had been asked what sanctions could be imposed by the EU and the Quartet on any side that failed to implement the road map.

"We have a series of measures we will come out with at the appropriate time," Moeller said at a conference of peace activists from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt and Jordan that was organized by the Jordanian Foreign Ministry. "I won't expose them now because if I were to do so, they would lose their effectiveness; but we are ready to use them if we are required to do so," he added.

Delegates at the conference included Haim Ramon, MK (Labor), former Labor lawmaker Uzi Bar'am, representatives from the Peres Center for Peace, Fatah activists from the PA and Jerusalem, and members of Jordanian and Egyptian peace movements.

Remarks with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov of the Russian Federation, Foreign Minister Josep Pique of Spain in the capacity of EU Presidency and Javier Solana, High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU

Secretary Colin L. Powell Benjamin Franklin Room Washington, DC May 2, 2002 [audio]

SECRETARY POWELL: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am pleased to welcome to the State Department today Secretary General Annan, Foreign Minister Ivanov, Foreign Minister Pique, and High Representative Solana of the European Union to the Department to continue the discussion that we began in Madrid on April 10th on ways to end the violence and move towards peace in the Middle East.

Son's approach towards Europe misunderstood, says Bush Sr

MADRID: Former U.S. President George Bush said on Friday that some people had misunderstood his son's attitude towards Europe.

"I know there is a perception in some quarters here in Europe that this administration of his hasn't reached out to our friends and allies as much as some would like. I know that this is a misperception," the father of current President George W.Bush told a business conference in Madrid. The elder Bush, 79, cited his son's close work with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar as an example of how the president had reached out to Europe in the run-up to the war in Iraq.

May. 12, 2003 Spanish foreign minister to tour Middle East By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADRID, Spain

Foreign Minister Ana Palacio said Monday she plans to visit governments in the Middle East to encourage peace efforts in the region. Palacio said she intended to include Cairo, Egypt, in her tour but provided no further information. Her office said details of her trip were not yet confirmed.

The support of the region's leaders for the so- called road map to peace proposed by the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia is "very important" in securing its success, Palacio told reporters.

It is time to move "from statements to action," she added.

Enacting the Middle East blueprint for peace has become one of Spain's main foreign policy goals. It was one of the main arguments used by Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar to justify to Spaniards his government's support for the US-led war in Iraq.

Spanish FM to meet Arafat in Ramallah

MADRID (AFP) - Spanish Foreign Minister Ana Palacio will meet with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) and prime minister Mahmud Abbas in the West Bank town of Ramallah, diplomatic sources said Tuesday. Palacio was due to head for Jerusalem later Tuesday after a meeting of EU and Arab ministers on the Mediterranean island of Crete. She will meet in Ramallah with Abbas and her Palestinian counterpart Nabil Shaath on Wednesday before a "short visit" to see Arafat the same day, the sources here said, adding there were no plans to meet with Israeli officials.

*** Now surely, even the most stubborn adherents of their own understanding of reality, saw the pattern. Powell and Bush run to Spain and Rome before planning their moves in the Middle East. That they are pulling the strings is an illusion. That they intend to bring peace to Israel is an illusion. That they are doing the Vatican's dirty work is the only truth that can be discerned from their actions.
