UPDATE: On the morning of September 21st Phil Giraldi was fired over the phone by The American Conservative, where he had been a regular contributor for fourteen years. He was told that “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” was unacceptable. The TAC management and board appear to have forgotten that the magazine was launched with an article by founder Pat Buchanan entitled “Whose War?” which largely made the same claims that Giraldi made about the Jewish push for another war, in that case with Iraq. Buchanan was vilified and denounced as an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now similarly attacking Giraldi.

I spoke recently at a conference on America’s war party where afterwards an elderly gentleman came up to me and asked, “Why doesn’t anyone ever speak honestly about the six-hundred-pound gorilla in the room? Nobody has mentioned Israel in this conference and we all know it’s American Jews with all their money and power who are supporting every war in the Middle East for Netanyahu? Shouldn’t we start calling them out and not letting them get away with it?”

It was a question combined with a comment that I have heard many times before and my answer is always the same: any organization that aspires to be heard on foreign policy knows that to touch the live wire of Israel and American Jews guarantees a quick trip to obscurity. Jewish groups and deep pocket individual donors not only control the politicians, they own and run the media and entertainment industries, meaning that no one will hear about or from the offending party ever again. They are particularly sensitive on the issue of so-called “dual loyalty,” particularly as the expression itself is a bit of a sham since it is pretty clear that some of them only have real loyalty to Israel.

Most recently, some pundits, including myself, have been warning of an impending war with Iran. To be sure, the urging to strike Iran comes from many quarters, to include generals in the Administration who always think first in terms of settling problems through force, from a Saudi government obsessed with fear over Iranian hegemony, and, of course, from Israel itself. But what makes the war engine run is provided by American Jews who have taken upon themselves the onerous task of starting a war with a country that does not conceivably threaten the United States. They have been very successful at faking the Iranian threat, so much so that nearly all Republican and most Democratic congressmen as well as much of the media seem to be convinced that Iran needs to be dealt with firmly, most definitely by using the U.S. military, and the sooner the better.

And while they are doing it, the issue that nearly all the Iran haters are Jewish has somehow fallen out of sight, as if it does not matter. But it should matter. A recent article in the New Yorker on stopping the impending war with Iran strangely suggests that the current generation “Iran hawks” might be a force of moderation regarding policy options given the lessons learned from Iraq. The article cites as hardliners on Iran David Frum, Max Boot, Bill Kristol and Bret Stephens.

Daniel Larison over at The American Conservative has a good review of the New Yorker piece entitled “Yes, Iran Hawks Want Conflict with Iran,” which identifies the four above cited hawks by name before describing them as “…a Who’s Who of consistently lousy foreign policy thinking. If they have been right about any major foreign policy issue in the last twenty years, it would be news to the entire world. Every single one of them hates the nuclear deal with Iran with a passion, and they have argued in favor of military action against Iran at one point or another. There is zero evidence that any of them would oppose attacking Iran.”

And I would add a few more names, Mark Dubowitz, Michael Ledeen and Reuel Marc Gerecht of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum; John Podhoretz of Commentary magazine; Elliot Abrams of the Council on Foreign Relations; Meyrav Wurmser of the Middle East Media Research Institute; Kimberly Kagan of the Institute for the Study of War; and Frederick Kagan, Danielle Pletka and David Wurmser of the American Enterprise Institute. And you can also throw into the hopper entire organizations like The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) and the Hudson Institute. And yep, they’re all Jewish, plus most of them would self-describe as neo-conservatives. And I might add that only one of the named individuals has ever served in any branch of the American military – David Wurmser was once in the Navy reserve. These individuals largely constitute a cabal of sanctimonious chairborne warriors who prefer to do the heavy thinking while they let others do the fighting and dying.

So it is safe to say that much of the agitation to do something about Iran comes from Israel and from American Jews. Indeed, I would opine that most of the fury from Congress re Iran comes from the same source, with AIPAC showering our Solons on the Potomac with “fact sheets” explaining how Iran is worthy of annihilation because it has pledged to “destroy Israel,” which is both a lie and an impossibility as Tehran does not have the resources to carry out such a task. The AIPAC lies are then picked up and replayed by an obliging media, where nearly every “expert” who speaks about the Middle East on television and radio or who is interviewed for newspaper stories is Jewish.

One might also add that neocons as a group were founded by Jews and are largely Jewish, hence their universal attachment to the state of Israel. They first rose into prominence when they obtained a number of national security positions during the Reagan Administration and their ascendancy was completed when they staffed senior positions in the Pentagon and White House under George W. Bush. Recall for a moment Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, and Scooter Libby. Yes, all Jewish and all conduits for the false information that led to a war that has spread and effectively destroyed much of the Middle East. Except for Israel, of course. Philip Zelikow, also Jewish, in a moment of candor, admitted that the Iraq War, in his opinion, was fought for Israel.

Add to the folly a Jewish U.S. Ambassador to Israel who identifies with the most right-wing Israeli settler elements, a White House appointed chief negotiator who is Jewish and a Jewish son-in-law who is also involved in formulating Middle East policy. Is anyone providing an alternative viewpoint to eternal and uncritical support for Benjamin Netanyahu and his kleptocratic regime of racist thugs? I think not.

There are a couple of simple fixes for the dominant involvement of American Jews in foreign policy issues where they have a personal interest due to their ethnicity or family ties. First of all, don’t put them into national security positions involving the Middle East, where they will potentially be conflicted. Let them worry instead about North Korea, which does not have a Jewish minority and which was not involved in the holocaust. This type of solution was, in fact, somewhat of a policy regarding the U.S. Ambassador position in Israel. No Jew was appointed to avoid any conflict of interest prior to 1995, an understanding that was violated by Bill Clinton (wouldn’t you know it!) who named Martin Indyk to the post. Indyk was not even an American citizen at the time and had to be naturalized quickly prior to being approved by congress.

Those American Jews who are strongly attached to Israel and somehow find themselves in senior policy making positions involving the Middle East and who actually possess any integrity on the issue should recuse themselves, just as any judge would do if he were presiding over a case in which he had a personal interest. Any American should be free to exercise first amendment rights to debate possible options regarding policy, up to and including embracing positions that damage the United States and benefit a foreign nation. But if he or she is in a position to actually create those policies, he or she should butt out and leave the policy generation to those who have no personal baggage.

For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” That would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison – translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”

As none of the above is likely to happen, the only alternative is for American citizens who are tired of having their country’s national security interests hijacked by a group that is in thrall to a foreign government to become more assertive about what is happening. Shine a little light into the darkness and recognize who is being diddled and by whom. Call it like it is. And if someone’s feelings are hurt, too bad. We don’t need a war with Iran because Israel wants one and some rich and powerful American Jews are happy to deliver. Seriously, we don’t need it.

    Firstly, I completely agree with Giraldi's analysis on everything. Secondly, Priss, why you would post Michael J. Knowles' commentary of a Hollywood movie? Boycott Hollywood! Knowles works with Ben Shapiro at The Daily Wire. Shapiro is a big-time Neocon and is a "one issue" guy. That makes Knowles part of the controlled-media dialectic. Knowles mocks Palestinians on his Twitter account but at the same time invokes the Blessed Sacrament and Saint Peter in this specific YouTube video. Catholics should find Knowles as offensive as Colbert considering they both support Israel's terrorism and ethnic cleansing. http://thedialog.org/gazas-christians-work-together-to-stay-safe/

    Goebbels couldn't express it better. According to Giraldi's philosophy, it was a great pitty that America followed the jewish credo and fought against symbols of morality such as Nazi Germany, U.S.S.R, Comunist China, Hussein's Iraq, El Qaida, ISIS and now possibly Iran and North Korea. What a cosmic paradise and heaven on earth America had lost by subordinating itself the subversive Jews who just happened to be on wrong side and against those pure angels adored by Philip Giraldi and his followers.

She and everyone else in the political arena and media knows it to be true. I'm shocked she was so easily intimidated.

    Nevertheless, I will continue to post on internet articles about Mid East policy making your assessment as follows: “….the Israeli government is a rogue regime ….Worse still, it has successfully manipulated.. the US, and has done terrible damage both to our political system and to the American people, a crime that I just cannot forgive, condone, or explain away."

    American wars in the Middle East benefit Israel primarily, but we mustn’t forget the war contractors, who also find excellent opportunities to plunder American taxpayers because of these military conflicts.
    With the businessman, Trump, in charge America would probably manage to wage wars at a lesser cost.
    In a not-so-long-ago Congressional hearing; John Kerry divulged – stressing the point twice! – that the Saudis had proposed to underwrite all expenses for a US war to topple the Assad regime would incur.
    Imagine how much easier starting a war with Iran would look to Trump if the Saudis were ready to pay for it.

    The fastest way to bankrupt a nation is to engage in endless warfare.

    Wall Street’s initiation of WW I and WW II (Robert Stinnett, DAY OF DECEIT) is well documented. After 1947, the task was given to the CIA to conceal WS involvement (Stephen Kinzer, THE BROTHERS; David Talbot, DEVIL’S CHESSBOARD; John Perkins, CONFESSIONS OF ECONOMIC HIT MAN).

    CIA action has evolved into SE Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran. (Douglas Valentine, CIA AS ORGANIZED CRIME; Michel Chossudovsky, GLOBALIZATION OF WAR). [Valentine has written CIA actions he has seen overseas is observed in the US.] Multitudinous world-wide actions are documented by William Blum (KILLING HOPE) with numerous updates added on the internet by others.

    And still our Republicans attempt to tout fiscal responsibility includes unlimited military expenditure even after the audit of billions of dollars loss investigation in the Pentagon being destroyed by the 9/11 target by ferriners? And nobody fingers WS ??

    , @Traginot
    Wow, what sad trash.

    How come when a person who happens to be Jewish advocates for something, it's always his/her "Jewishness" motivating the decision? The sinister, money-hungry Jew!

    Yet, nobody ever generalizes the same way when a non-Jew is "for" something others have a problem with.

    In fact, despite a few Jews named in the above-article about the push to the Iraq war, far more influential people, such as Cheney, Rice, and, of course, Bush himself "the decider" were for it as well. Yet, it was a Jewish conspiracy! Why not a Protestant conspiracy?

    Why wrap ALL Jews into one monolithic group? That's, by definition, stereotyping. That, my friend, is anti-semitism.

    In fact, Jews overwhelmingly support Dems, and, despite what this ignorant clown in the forest says, are decidedly less militaristic than members of the GOP - you know, the party of white protestants.

    Cheers.

    It's all enabled by The Big Lie.
    The only reason the average American is silenced about parasitical Zionists and Israel is because they’ve had their head filled with various absurd fictions such as Holocaust propaganda, “Judeo-Christian values”, and Jews being a uniquely righteous, exceptional, and persecuted people.

    The '6M Jews, 5M others, & gas chambers' are scientifically impossible frauds.
    see the 'holocaust' scam debunked here:
    http://codoh.com
    No name calling, level playing field debate here:
    http://forum.codoh.com

    We're talking about an alleged '6M Jews & 5M others' ... 11,000,000.
    There is not a single verifiable excavated enormous mass grave with contents actually SHOWN, not just claimed, (recall the claim of 900,000 buried at Treblinka, 1,250,000 at Auschwitz, or 250,000 at Sobibor, 34,000 at Babi Yar) even though Jews claim they still exist and claim to know exactly where these alleged enormous mass graves are.

    Revisionists are just the messengers, the absurd impossibility of the laughable 'holocaust' storyline is the message.

    , @Moi
    Yes, but PG did not mention one significant factor--that the reason Jews are so successful at this game is because Christians, particular American Christians, have a visceral hatred of Islam/Muslims. The Jews have taken advantage of this hate and channeled it.
    , @SMK
    The creation of a Jewish state in the middle of the Arab-Islamic world was pure insanity, both for the Jews and the United States, our "ally" as our bane. The creation of Israel was opposed by George Marshall, Dean Acheson, Dean Rusk, and others I'm sure (I'm hardly an expert on the matter). They knew what would happen, generally if not specifically: wars, terrorism, involving not only Israel but also the U.S. and it's allies. Though I'm sure they didn't envision 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and much else, nor what will occur henceforth: the bombing and invasion and occupation of Iran?

    Amen brother! And I would like to throw some gasoline on your Neocon fire. President Trump has never worked with military generals before and he is extremely naive to their absolute Machiavellian manipulation of him. Most generals today are expert political backstabbers who advanced during the tragic Neocon and PC era of the past 30 years. Who can forget the disgusting General Casey when he said, “And what happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.” The generals that Trump hired for his administration are now running circles around him, particularly McMaster. They want war to keep the Neocons happy and that is what this crop of generals has been trained to do.

    this has gotten me so depressed and aggravated at the same time. I hoped Trump would not have become forced into more wars and killing (falling for false flags in Syria, etc.) by the Neocons and Neoliberals. But, I suppose he thought working with the Mafia in the City over the decades gave him some sort of experience with being coerced...we'll never know how much he has been threatened, I guess. Sad. I am just beyond disgusted that these American Generals have also been bought and paid for to send innocent young people into the Middle East to kill & maim innocent civilians. Everything really is only about money ( for many people; not me)...it had been money and sex; now it is just money. Well, with anarchy, nihilism and chaos, everybody loses...particularly the wealthy...they'll be the last to suffer...and will wish they could go fast. End all Wars...just End Wars - do it.

    I always find it hilarious when blatant anti-Semites blame Jews for the ills of the country, or the world. The fact that so many people can, with a straight face, that a country of less than 9 million, minus the approximate 20% of the population that is Arab, which is about 2 million, so 7 million has the power to influence and control events in a world with over 7 BILLION people. Is that what you are saying?

    When you get right down to it though, you people are saying that only the rich, influential Jews around the world are the ones controlling the course of the Middle East, the United States and God only knows how many other countries so that number is what, about 20 to 30 thousand people? Hell, let's go crazy and say it's one hundred thousand people. Is that what you are saying?

    Seriously, is that what you people truly believe? If so then perhaps you should consider investing in Alcoa and other aluminum processors so you can have a ready supply of foil hats available to block out their insidious mind control beams.

    Antisemitism is the one of the longest running games of finger pointing in the history of mankind. Since before the time of Christ Jews have been the world's whipping post, with no reasonable reason given. I seriously thought that thinking like this had gone the way of the pogroms that swept from one end to the European and Asian continents and back again in the middle Ages, which is what your level of reasoning amounts to.

    All I can say is thank God that you people are a distinct minority in the world and that your paranoia filled conspiracies are still nothing but the ravings of a minuscule fringe of today's society. And God help us if you ever break into the mainstream.

    If Jews are "white", they are a special kind. The Jews, you see, are "God's chosen" people with a special relationship with the diety ... something that eludes the rest of the human race. Jews, at least for the hardcore, must be born of Jewish mothers. So, evidently the privilege of being "chosen" is a genetic disposition associated with the female mitochondria that must be handed down from one generation to another. Therefore, the rest of us, born of non-Jewish mothers, do not and cannot have this privilege.

    Only the Ashkenazis could be considered Caucasian. But that is ending because they have high intermarriage rates with blacks/Asians.
    , @Heather Heyer's Ghost
    Ashkenazi Jews, and those are the ones we are mainly dealing with, are an endogamous caste of bankers, progressive journalists, lawyers, and social scientists (including, now, education), that have migrated all over Europe, but never identifying as European, with exceptions that prove the rule.
    As a tribe, once can read Kevin MacDonald's work to see how they work in remarkable ethnic cohesion--not necessarily as an "organized conspiracy" (though that certainly happens), but as an ethnic drive.
    Being neither European as such, nor Christian, and although their skin is white, they are not White.

    , @Wally
    Not if you ask Jews.
    , @Pete22
    That's false, in any discerning context.

    "White" implies a lack of detectable sub-saharan African and Arab genes if we are speaking about any tribe from Europe, the ME, or Africa. Racial Jews have both.

    The statement that "Jews are White" is not only false insofar as they are concerned, but is also an implication that other Whites can have African genes but remain as White as Whites without them.

    Jews are obsessed with outrunning their race-mixing shame, or in other words with outrunning the African gene, which is a large motivator behind their equality politics. They are essentially a race mixed tribe who couldn't deal with:

    1. what they did in a race mixing context
    2. what they did as justification for further race mixing or extinction
    3. the spiritual (as per God's biblical edicts) implications of their race mixing
    4. and the practical (HBD) ramifications of their race mixing.

    So, in essence, we have a tribe who has long resigned themselves to creating a world wherein there is no better tribe than their race mixed tribe, where their race mixed tribe is somehow looked upon as god's tribe, and in which they survive as an inbred race mixed tribe.

    They can never outrun their gene, and will always be sore about that fact. Everytime that you see a "Jew Fro", be reminded of their gene, what they claim about themselves, and their motivations.

    That god's tribe is a race-mixed tribe is a ridiculous notion. God, as a concept, is both nature and a racial King (both concepts can be readily proven in historical religious studies - the "unknowable" god that Jews currently present to outsiders is a parallel to the mesopotamian AN, and other non-anthropomorphic sky god's that always come into existence when a tribe wants to rule multiple other tribes and therefore needs to depart from the racial King concept).

    Most race mixed tribe's would come to the conclusion that either continued race mixing or fading into the good night would be reasonable outcomes for them. However, with this tribe we have a refusal to concede to their past sin and thus a demand for all other pure tribes to be destroyed so that they may thrive and rule.

    Read the book "when Jews became white" which is taught in graduate level courses. Chomsky also states that the rich and influential segment of Jewish population in the West, broke with the progressive Jewish tradition in the 20th century and sided with the oppressors. Neocons as a group are mostly former Terotskysts who found their new Jesus in militant capitalism.

    My Israeli friends tell me that Israeli government represented by BiBi never dreamed of succeeding in force US to apply coercive pressure on Iran and get to this point. Now that they have succeeded, they want to go all the way and see if a war can be encouraged.

    Everyone, this is all about the Jewish banking system. The only two countries' banking systems that the Jews do not control are North Korea and Iran. Before 9/11 there were 5 or 6 countries that were not controlled by Jews. That changed quickly didn't it? Once they have the last two banks, globalism will have won. Nationalism won't mean anything. President Wilson lost America for us when he gave our money to the Federal Reserve, which is a private bank, to keep his extra-marital affair out of the Jewish press.

    And FYI who ever thinks Jews are white is wrong; they are genetically and biological different from caucasians. They have lower IQs and have more genetic diseases.

    when seeking upscale housing and social status benefits, they are 110% white.
    when denouncing American Nationalists, they are a separate race of wise and learned individuals
    when supporting unrestricted immigration in the US, they are white people with a conscious

    I always assumed so, but actually many would deny it. Ben Shapiro seemed uncertain on the point. Mike Wallace once objected to being characterized as white. Those who are Sephardic may be of the same stock as Arabs. The Ashkenazi may be of mixed blood. Since Jewish writers tend to demonize the white race (e.g. Susan Sontag: 'The white race is the cancer of history') perhaps most don't see themselves as white.

    Yet, in a classic, paradox-tinged pro-Israel loop-back, the ‘alt-Right’ and ‘white nationalist’ movement, is increasing positive links with security-fence-building, also-ethnic-nationalist Israel:

    US alt-right leader, Richard Spencer, appeared on Israeli TV last month to call himself a “white Zionist”

    The above from an interesting article by British activist and Nazareth, Palestine resident Jonathan Cook, speaking of how Israel’s Netanyahu is making an alliance with even the anti-Semitic Western alt-right, with the instinct to show all other Jews that Israel is their only home & safe haven … and hence the ‘progressive’ Jews should abandon any support for boycott of Israel or for Palestinian rights:

    The Israeli prime minister has repeatedly called on all Jews to come to Israel, claiming it as the only safe haven from an immutable global anti-semitism. And yet, Mr Netanyahu is also introducing a political test before he opens the door.

    Jews supporting a boycott of Israel are already barred. Now, liberal Jews and critics of the occupation like Mr Soros are increasingly not welcome either. Israel is rapidly redefining the extent of the sanctuary it offers – for Jewish supremacists only.

    For Mr Netanyahu may believe he has much to gain by abandoning liberal Jews to their fate, as the alt-right asserts its power in western capitals.

    The “white Zionists” are committed to making life ever harder for minorities in the West in a bid to be rid of them. Sooner or later, on Mr Netanyahu’s logic, liberal Jews will face a reckoning. They will have to accept that Israel’s ultra-nationalists were right all along, and that Israel is their only sanctuary.

    Guided by this cynical convergence of interests, Jewish and white supremacists are counting on a revival of anti-Semitism that will benefit them both.

    Steve Bannon and his supposed alt-right rag Breitbart are incredibly pro-Israel. I supposed it has something to do with its founder Andrew Breitbart being a Jew. Every time Trump or Nikki Haley says something nasty about Iran, you'll get plenty of Breitbart commenters echoing their sentiment egging them on, you can tell by their inane comments many have no idea why they should hate Iran, other than Breitbart told them to. They've fully bought into the Breitbart narrative that Iran is evil and must be destroyed. The Trump fan boys/girls who continue to blindly support him despite all his betrayals are every bit as stupid as the libtards they claim to hate.

    Does the ideological consistency of the goyim confuse you? Why wouldn't an ethnic-nationalist support other ethnic-nationalists? So far as I can tell, all the hostility to Israel from the right stems from the fact that "right wing," (neoconservative) Jews have shamelessly supported ethnic-nationalism in Israel while demanding even a shadow of civic nationalism be stomped out and suppressed anywhere else. What possible problem could Zionists have with supporting whites in their own struggle to stem a brown tide of violent neighbors? Chutzpah is going to be the end of us.

    Yea Bubba! Because the Jews faired so freakin' well under the Soviet Regime. The Bolshevik Jews had zero religious or zionistic intention. Their simple dream was to join with the non-believing masses as a way of ending antisemitism. In effect,they wanted to self-anialiate Judaism. Only they woke up after the revolution to find Stalin forcing them to list "jew" as an identity. Damned if one does. Damned if one doesn't. Sounds like you and this dolt of a commentator would be more down with Stalin than any other. Ironically, it was that discrimination which fueled the largest brain-drain in modern history -- from USSR to Israel and the USA.

    One of the great triumphs of Zionism is its success at conflating Zionism with Judaism. In some sense Zionism is the antithesis of Judaism. Zionism is the suicidal ideology that seeks to replace the native inhabitants of Palestine with alien Jews. These Jews will then be surrounded by implacable enemies who will sooner or later wipe them out. Throughout their history, Jews have had a fatal attraction to this kind of zealotry. It's why Jews have a fascination with communism and it's what got the Jews booted out of Palestine, in the first place, nearly two thousand years ago.

    Arabs, including Palestinians, are 99% Semitic peoples (peoples from the Middle East). The overwhelming majority of Jews are not Semites (from the Middle East). Jews are relatively recent converts, hailing from Europe, mostly Poland, Germany, and Russia.

    Koestler's book "The Thirteenth Tribe," is just one of a hundred places to peruse this line of research.

    Zionist Jews are the worst Racist anti-Semites on the planet, as they hate Arabs (Semites), murder them by the millions, steal their land, and slander them (Semites).

    Jews are white.

    If Jews are “white”, they are a special kind. The Jews, you see, are “God’s chosen” people with a special relationship with the diety … something that eludes the rest of the human race. Jews, at least for the hardcore, must be born of Jewish mothers. So, evidently the privilege of being “chosen” is a genetic disposition associated with the female mitochondria that must be handed down from one generation to another. Therefore, the rest of us, born of non-Jewish mothers, do not and cannot have this privilege.

    I’m strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn’t Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn’t have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn’t been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there’s Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn’t force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

Why fight and risk your life, your wealth, your greed when you have all these slave soldiers happy and proud to die for you, steal for you, and pay all expenses, and pimp your women (Hollywood, Porn Industry, Sex slaves, and brothels).

    Well if said above warhawks are Jewish, it's just stating facts. Iraq was a phony war, started by weapons of mass destruction. What a freaking joke. Saddam dumped the dollar as currency in favor of EU currency. Boom he had to go. Hello ISIS a Bush creation. Afghanistan 9-11 ok. Libya Gadafy was looking to make the dineh the currency of United Africa. Boom he had to go. Iran is next, if not N Korea. There was this video where an American General Wesley Clark names all the countries we're gonna invade right after 9-11. There were like 7, Yemen, Syria and maybe Lebanon besides Iran, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. The memo came from Bush cronies. I worry about a new false flag bombing, scapegoating Iran or N Korea. That's all it takes to start a war.

    "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business".

    This even became known as "The Ledeen Doctrine"; I am sure he is very proud.

It remains incontrovertible, however, that a very active, powerful, organized, and influential minority of people, who identify as Jewish, are restless and effective Israel-firsters. They see dragging America into Israel’s wars in the Middle East as furthering Israel’s national security interest.

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    Israel was dismantled in 70 AD, it's peoples disbursed throughout the nations. It did not become a country until 1948 after the evils of WWII.

    Dick Cheney and Bush - two greedy, corrupt oil barons - were the minds behind war with Iraq (it should have been Pakistan, where the real President found Osama Bin Laden living). Iraq was all about OIL, the stealing of it and the Bush daddy-issue punishment of Saddam Hussein. I still tsk to myself when I hear so-called 'christ' followers complaining about the jews, when Jesus was a traditional jew. The blood of Christ is the blood of a Jewish man. Ignorance to this fact, laid out in the Bible about his ancestry (of the tribe of Benjamin), makes neocons look very foolish indeed. The jews are not the ones behind going to wars. Big corporations who stand to gain billions are. The military industrial complex is. That includes corrupt war-criminal Dick Cheney and his ilk.

  35. I’m intrigued by the sudden anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish line on the US internet. My theory: for about 45 years, the CIA and various private American groups have been trying to destroy what is now called the EU, seen as a challenge to US global hegemony. Up to the Ukrainian coup, Putin was a neocon, and probably also CIA, “asset”. His job was to serve as a battering ram to break up the EU and then as a bogeyman to frighten the resulting plethora of small and largely defenceless statelets to cling to the US for protection, thereby restoring and reinforcing US global hegemony. The idea was to “unwin” the cold war, so to speak! Putin either double-crossed his handlers or quite simple messed up but, in either event, he went for m being an asset to being a major liability. He was discrediting the US and consequently, strengthening the EU, the very opposite of what he was supposed to do. The neocons and the CIA leadership therefore broke with Putin, without, one assumes, giving up the idea of destroying the EU. However, part of the US hegemonist “clan” still thinks it can use Putin to destroy the EU. So they held back Obama. Didn’t work. Then they tried to install a Putin stooge in the White House. Blew up in their faces. Then they tried to install a Putin stooge in France. Didn’t work. The present Israeli government seems to share the neocons’ view that Putin is a liability that must be removed. Logically, therefore, the next step must be to try to install a Putin stooge in Israel. That probably won’t work either but I think the current anti-Israel and anti-Jewish line is the start of that process. The saving grace in all this is the sheer ineptitude of the CIA. At best, their schemes don’t work and at worst, they turn out to be cures worse than the disease!

    From an April 2003 Haaretz article:

    The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history. Two of them, journalists William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer, say it's possible.

    This is a war of an elite. [Tom] Friedman laughs: I could give you the names of 25 people (all of whom are at this moment within a five-block radius of this office) who, if you had exiled them to a desert island a year and a half ago, the Iraq war would not have happened.

    If we're not careful, these same treacherous back-stabbing thugs will get the USA involved in a hot war with Iran, while Israel sets on the sideline, laughing about how gullible and stupid those Americans are.

    Yet, in a classic, paradox-tinged pro-Israel loop-back, the 'alt-Right' and 'white nationalist' movement, is increasing positive links with security-fence-building, also-ethnic-nationalist Israel:


    US alt-right leader, Richard Spencer, appeared on Israeli TV last month to call himself a “white Zionist”

     

    The above from an interesting article by British activist and Nazareth, Palestine resident Jonathan Cook, speaking of how Israel's Netanyahu is making an alliance with even the anti-Semitic Western alt-right, with the instinct to show all other Jews that Israel is their only home & safe haven ... and hence the 'progressive' Jews should abandon any support for boycott of Israel or for Palestinian rights:


    The Israeli prime minister has repeatedly called on all Jews to come to Israel, claiming it as the only safe haven from an immutable global anti-semitism. And yet, Mr Netanyahu is also introducing a political test before he opens the door.

    Jews supporting a boycott of Israel are already barred. Now, liberal Jews and critics of the occupation like Mr Soros are increasingly not welcome either. Israel is rapidly redefining the extent of the sanctuary it offers – for Jewish supremacists only.

    For Mr Netanyahu may believe he has much to gain by abandoning liberal Jews to their fate, as the alt-right asserts its power in western capitals.

    The “white Zionists” are committed to making life ever harder for minorities in the West in a bid to be rid of them. Sooner or later, on Mr Netanyahu’s logic, liberal Jews will face a reckoning. They will have to accept that Israel’s ultra-nationalists were right all along, and that Israel is their only sanctuary.

    Guided by this cynical convergence of interests, Jewish and white supremacists are counting on a revival of anti-Semitism that will benefit them both.

     

    This always confuses me. Do people like Bibi actually want all jews to move back to Israel and is there a large contingent who agrees? I’m not sure I buy it, as much as I wish forced zionism could be utilized to finally rid ourselves of these people and the endless problems they create.

  42. “For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.”

    How does that happen? The question defies the entire article. The “Media”. The media Phil just described, is Jewish owned and operated. Who the Hell is going to get the Jewish Jeff Bezos (to cite only one example, but a huge one in Washington), who supports losing enterprise Washington Post, the AEI, the AJC and all the rest with BIG money, how are you going to get HIM to splash across the front page that Bill Kristol is, “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” ? How does that work? What are the mechanics of such a proposition? Loss of subscribers? Check, already done. Boycott the WashPost’s advertisers? They already lost those because the paper isn’t viable in the business model of a newspaper, it’s only a very loud megaphone for the Jewish interest. The damned thing runs a 60 million dollar deficit every month, supported tirelessly by Amazon. But nowadays it has become a Pro-Israeli rap-sheet, a monster-shouter for these wars, all of them. How are we to oppose THAT?

    Phil also forgets (or maybe Jewish influence and owndership is so great and such a hegemony he can’t cover it all) the death-grip stranglehold Jews hold on our courts, the banks, Wall Street. Protest any of it, you’re an “Anti”, a racist, a bigot, a Nazi. The most racist, Nazi race/religion/monolith on the planet, Jews, label all who oppose it, racist. And that’s the mantra and they have the media to back it up. Oppose their instruments, the Clintons, all of a sudden, shazzzaaam! You’re dead of a robbery on the streets at 4:00 AM. There are dozens of dead on the tab of this cabal. This is Israel’s crew and nobody fucks with these guys.

    Ye Gawds, growing up in the 60′s, the WashPost was hideously anti-war. Look at them now. And their new banner, “Democracy Dies In The Darkness”, boy is that an evil and disingenuous point to push, breathtaking in its dishonesty, the sheer hubris with which they operate.

    When examined objectively the power that one very small ethnic group wields in this country is frightening and a direct threat to constitutional democracy. Jews are a little over one percent of the population, yet individual Jews, almost all Zionist and anti-Christian, exercise overwhelming control of the entertainment and news industries. Similar individual Jews have a nearly overwhelming presence in higher education, the legal system, the financial sector. Until recently such Jews formed a majority of the Supreme Court. Jews like Adelson, Saban and many others wield overwhelming financial control of the political system in this country. Others have formed innumerable open and covert organizations to promote Jewish interests, e.g., Soros, Dees, et al. There is no Elders of Zion but that this country is now essentially run by people, all drawn from this minority of Zionist, anti-Christian Jews, drawn in turn from a very small Jewish minority should be of concern to any rational citizen, Jew or non-Jew.

    Hasbara Tactics

    By controlling information one can control people and the social networks. Hasbara volunteers help to police social networks for Israel. The big media are dealt with through BICOM and AIPAC, whilst the social media are policed unofficially by the Hasbara troll brigade. Priority is to stop influencers being compromised by anti-Israel sentiment.

    Troll techniques

    1. Turn up randomly asking question about Israel, trying to engage/educate.

    2. Guilt by association, they point to some source your are linked to as being anti-semitic or neo-nazi.

    3. Opportunity to redeem – the offer chance to recant from your naive ways.

    4. Smears and insults – if the top 3 fail then it’s just character assassination.

    5. Name bombing – using seo in blackhat ways to denounce and smear people. ie website with 37 mentions of someones name will prob get a Page one on Google.

    6. Hasbara trolls generally follow the rules of social networks, because they want to continue to influence people and subvert open and free debate.

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    The Zionist Jews that control the US media are fully complicit in horrific war crimes and intentionally deceiving the American people. That fact is easily proven as they have been supporting the FSA, the White Helmets and other terrorist groups and ruses in Syria. These covert actions and propaganda campaigns have led to the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent people. The entire Syrian war is being misreported in the US media. Israel and the US are on the same side with Saudi Arabia and are pumping billions of dollars to terrorist factions in the warzones. That fact is continually being covered up by the CIA infiltrated US mainstream media. The proof of such is here:

    Or when Israel's primary agents of political influence in the US went "all out" to try to get the US to attack Syria and hand yet another country to (even more) jihadist-ridden chaos:

    AIPAC to go all-out on Syria

    But hey, I suppose for you those are just more examples of "unhingedness" and "bigotedness".

    Justin Raimondo and faux left winger Amy Goodman of TV's "Democracy Now" share one very curious thing in common. They both become absolutely apoplectic at the mere mention of Gilad Atzmon's name. Atzmon is the devil incarnate to both of them, absolutely enemy number one.

    I have seen Raimondo go almost insane when an audience member at one of his speeches simply mentioned Atzmon's name. Raimondo literally became babbling and incoherent for about ten seconds seconds until he was able to recover.

    For those that are unfamiliar with Gilad Atzmon, check him out here.

    Raimondo and his site Antiwar.com and Matt Drudge also are increasingly sharing something else in common. The articles they link to on their web pages are now often coming off absolutely unreliable, rabidly pro Israel sites like the Rothschild family owned Associated Press and Reuters pages.

    There is no mystery here. Zilch. Culture follows itself, rather like a tree follows its life pattern.

    WASP culture was born from the Reformation.Specifically, it was born of Anglo-Saxon Puritanism, which was a Judaizing heresy. Judaizing heresy necessarily produces culture that is pro-Semitic. That is true of even the earliest WASPs. Thomas Cromwell allied with Jews, inviting them back into England, because that made sense according to the theology that drove him and the entire Puritan Revolution.

    By the beginning of the Victorian era, virtually 100% of the British Empire’s WASP Elites were rathr hardcore pro-Semitic. A majority of them were pro-Jewish, in a secular way that would have seemed wrong to ‘orthodox’ Puritans but actually was the inevitable child of that movement and its driving doctrines and passions. The rest of the pro-Semitic WASP Elites of the Victorian era were pro-Arabic and pro-Islamic (a few of those pro-Moslems were either pro-Iranian or pro-Turkish, but most were pro-Arabic).

    Out of that divide would come two things: the Balfour Declaration, and thus the eventual creation of the nation of Israel, and the Brits backing the House of Saud and thus necessarily Wahhabi Islam.

    The pro-Semitic nature of WASP (Elite) culture guaranteed – because nobody was powerful enough to stop WASP culture from creating them – both Israel and Saudi Arabia.

    And look what we have today: the successor to the British Empire, the USA, backing both Israel and Saudi Arabia as they do endless mischief, more than a bit of it evil.

    WASP culture created both Israel and the power of the Saudis. WASP cultural Elites are anything but innocent victims of Jewish and Saudi manipulations.

    Outside of an almost symbolic launch of cruise missiles into Syria in April, how has Trump been a warmonger?

    I remember the debate between Pence and the hideous Tim Kaine where the Democrat vowed that there would be No Fly Zone over Syria which would certainly have allowed the head chopping rebels to gain a stronger foothold.

    In addition to all that, Trump has also cut off aid to the Syrian rebels. His Afghanistan policy /escalation is also symbolic. US troops won't be in direct combat and there will only be 15000 there anyway.

    One of my concerns when trying to imagine what could be done to wake up americans to the immense danger to our country and our true values as americans, is the fact that there is, I am certain, a problem with demographic stats.

    I do not believe for a second that in the USA the percentage of jews is as low as we are usually told. After all lets not forget, where we are getting such stats from: MSM ? It is simply not true. Nothing that comes from MSM is true. It is all jew poison.

    Anyhow, wherever I go, the jews are everywhere. Sure, since most of them are repulsive racists they always ensure that everybody around them knows that they are jews, which makes them seem more numerous, but guys, they are not 2% of the population.

    I am going way beyond the well understood fact that power centers are controlled by the jews (from the white house to the press, Hollywood, the Fed ….. the internet).

    Even under Hillary, the Iran deal would have stood a better chance, since she was at least verbally committed to it (unlike even Rand Paul), and there would have been Obama loyalists within the Clinton administration who would have been desperate to preserve Obama's signature foreign policy achievement (and one of the only worthwhile ones, in my opinion, along with restoration of diplomatic ties with Cuba).

    , @reader of BOOKS
    How much is this MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM and American service people COSTING AMERICAN TAX PAYERS? Based upon Iran's military offensive record, Iran has not attacked any group or country for over two hundred years! Iran has been attacked by the U.S. in the past 70 years. Moreover, the U.S. has done "regime change" in Iran by once again overthrowing an Iranian independent government and installing a "Shah" as the ruler. Trita Parsi has written excellent books about Iran as has Hillary Mann written an excellent book which explains the present Iranian Government. Of course, our presidents and United Nations representatives are not even aware that books have been written and are available concerning Iran much less reading a factual, objective analysis of present day Iran. Nicki Haley believes and lives in NEOCON wonderland as did Samantha Power!

    I wonder if Raimondo & Co. will have the gonads to pick up Phil's piece for Antiwar.com.

    Justin Raimondo and faux left winger Amy Goodman of TV’s “Democracy Now” share one very curious thing in common. They both become absolutely apoplectic at the mere mention of Gilad Atzmon’s name. Atzmon is the devil incarnate to both of them, absolutely enemy number one.

    I have seen Raimondo go almost insane when an audience member at one of his speeches simply mentioned Atzmon’s name. Raimondo literally became babbling and incoherent for about ten seconds seconds until he was able to recover.

    For those that are unfamiliar with Gilad Atzmon, check him out here.

    Raimondo and his site Antiwar.com and Matt Drudge also are increasingly sharing something else in common. The articles they link to on their web pages are now often coming off absolutely unreliable, rabidly pro Israel sites like the Rothschild family owned Associated Press and Reuters pages.

    Most recently, some pundits, including myself, have been warning of an impending war with Iran. To be sure, the urging to strike Iran comes from many quarters, to include generals in the Administration
     
    Roars of laughter from the reader are the likeliest of sounds to follow on the heels of that gem. Sorry PG, but you've been pushing that story for years; at least a decade and then a few!

    In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran. The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States.

    http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/deep-background/

     

    When shall we stop paying attention this oft-repeated, "Imminent! War on Iran!" trope?

    A war on Iran is simply not on the cards. Some of us have commented on this. Netanyahu is given to melodrama and it is best to take his words with a large grain of salt. I will agree that Neocons [both Jew and Gentile] make noises about it, but there is a much larger group of similar minded, wealthy and influential [J/G] people who, discreetly and effectively, steer the ship away from these noises. Iraq has taught a lesson.

    oh stop beating around the bush

    it's *obviously* anti-Semitism!

    anyone who points out Jewish treachery and relentless war mongering on behalf of Israel is obviously an anti-Semite (who hates all Jews for no other reason than envy for their choseness)

    anyone who believes the war on Iraq was due to the black-hearted treachery of Jewish neocons in the Bush administration are clearly anti-Semites. Just as anyone who believes the msm is owned and controlled by zio-Jews = are anti=Semites.

    just as anyone who doubts Israel's ownership of all of the lands of Palestine (and the Golan Heights!) are obviously raging racists are anti-Semites!

    it's really quite simple..

    if you point out their Jewish supremacist intrigues for war or relentless Marxism or say anything less than gushing about Jews = you are a hateful bigot and racist, Nazi terrorist and anti-Semite who wants to push Ann Frank into an oven

    One point where Shama is correct (by accident) is his words, "we are witnessing a peak."

    Donald Trump is the latest in a dynastic line of ZUSA emperors. His key job assignment is to eliminate the threat of the Islamic Republic of Iran and facilitate plans for M.E. map redrawing to include Greater Israel.

    Selah.

    Before 9/11, please note how ZUSA co-emperor W. Bush Cheney reigned? How convenient for Ariel Sharon to be leading the "only democracy in the Middle East!" And we goyim must wonder (in awe) as to why the hell 9/11 never underwent serious crime investigation?

    Selah.

    I conclude now with the theater presentation observable during the reign of ZUSA Emperor Obama. As a smooth but deceptive Nobel Peace prize winner, Obama knew that the nuclear weapons deal with Iran was born to fail. Evidence of his duo- royal loyalty was the gift of $3.9 billion and its extension for ten (10) years to Netanyahu's Iran-hating & scandal plagued government.

    I had emailed the following comment to a friend just a few hours ago. It seems germane, so I’m taking the liberty of just pasting it here, in the context of the Iran policy discussion :

    As you know I had high hopes of Trump, based mostly on my wishful thinking about his dog-whistles. Now I am mostly inclined to view him in terms appropriate to the sell-out to the Judaic world order detailed by Petras in his recent article on Who Rules America.

    The main serious person I know of who continues to harbour hopes about Trump’s hidden agenda is Mark Glenn of The Ugly Truth.

    I had shared with you my opinion that the anti-Iran bluster was just that, given that Russia is Iran’s strategic partner. But lately I concluded that it was probably just dangerous Judaic policy. A recent editorial essay in Rothschild’s Economist has given me pause. The article strongly opposes taking on the nuclear pact with Iran. So what are the mega-Jews concerned about? Maybe Trump intends to lever Iran into nuclear status. Their leadership says that’s what will happen. Trump, like Bannon with his absurd affirmations of allegiance to Judeo-Christian civilisation, might be loving the Jews to death. A nuclear armed Iran might very well be what humanity needs. And America as well. Just a thought.

    https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21728896-it-right-worry-about-irans-growing-influence-trump-administration-may-be-about

    I know this will not convince you. That’s okay. It’s just a possibility. But keep it tucked away in a recess of your head for future reference.

    If Iran gives every indication of proceeding with nuclear arming, once the US leaves it no alternative, it would require a nuclear umbrella until such time as it could defend itself. That might come from Russian or Chinese nukes under the rubric of SCO. Like American nukes in Turkey and Germany, these could be put at the disposal of the Iranis without violating the Non-Proliferarion Treaty, or at least no more than the American nukes under foreign control do.

    It is, historically speaking, not a good idea to airily dismiss the word of hostile nations. Iran is not exactly friendly toward the U.S., is it?

    This report from farsi news-reporting:

    A look at the speech reveals something ominous. What Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, actually threatened was that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically and said Iran could flatten it.

    They should. If Raimondo starts blaming the Jews, he can avoid taking responsibility for his idiotic and embarrassing cheerleading for the current warmonger-in-chief.

    Outside of an almost symbolic launch of cruise missiles into Syria in April, how has Trump been a warmonger?

    I remember the debate between Pence and the hideous Tim Kaine where the Democrat vowed that there would be No Fly Zone over Syria which would certainly have allowed the head chopping rebels to gain a stronger foothold.

    In addition to all that, Trump has also cut off aid to the Syrian rebels. His Afghanistan policy /escalation is also symbolic. US troops won’t be in direct combat and there will only be 15000 there anyway.

    You haven't been paying attention. Since the initial strike in April, the Trump administration has deliberately attacked regime or allied forces an additional five times. (one, two, three, four, five).

    Including the Tomahawks in April, that's a total of 6 deliberate attacks on the Syrian Arab Republic or its allies (so far), which is already 6 more than Obama carried out during his entire presidency. And it's not like this is the end of Trump's tenure, either; it's the 9th goddamn month since he's been in office. I'm sure the war hawks in Wahington are quite pleased with his progress, as they should be.

    In addition to all that, Trump has also cut off aid to the Syrian rebels. His Afghanistan policy /escalation is also symbolic.
     
    Anyone could tell by that point that Assad isn't going to be overthrown. The aim now is to limit the Assad regime's territorial gains as much as possible, and the "rebels" proved they were useless at doing that when Shia militia reached the Iraqi border at al-Tanf, and cut them off from reaching Deir ez-Zor back in May (which was what one of the attacks mentioned above was about).

    After that, the Trump administration put all its eggs in the "Syrian Democratic Forces/People's Protection Units (SDF/YPG) basket, the mainly Kurdish (with some Arab fighters) militia that the US has been using to fight ISIS since 2015 (it's also, ironically, a hard left socialist organization. Think Kurdish Antifa. Though I doubt Trump knows or cares or could do anything about it even if he did). Trump has given the SDF <a href="https://sputniknews.com/amp/middleeast/201709141057402885-america-weaponry-deir-ez-zor/"heavy weaponry with the aim of confronting Assad and limiting his territorial gains. They've also been pressuring the rebel groups they formerly supported to join the SDF.

    I have sympathy for the SDF/YPG and the Syrian Kurds, and it made sense to support them when they were under direct assault from ISIS (though US motives were hardly altruistic even then). But ISIS is all but beaten now, and this is a dangerous game the US is playing, which could readily lead to a military confrontation betweeen the US and Russia and/or Iran. In fact, just a few days ago, the SDF seized part of Deir ez-Zor after SAA forces reached the city, and the Pentagon is now accusing Russia (which has in the past at least had good relations with the SDF/YPG), of deliberately bombing SDF fighters, in close proximity to American special forces.

    US troops won’t be in direct combat and there will only be 15000 there anyway.
     
    Only 15,000! I guess you wouldn't mind, then, if they Taliban, or the Afghan Army for that matter, or any other country, put 15,000 troops on American soil, as a "symbolic" gesture.

    Trump has also accelerated US collaboration in the sadistic torture of Yemen by the Saudis, past the levels under even Obama, which was already shameful.

    And again, we should also keep in mind that it's only been 9 months. For his next act, Trump might be thinking about ending the Iran deal in October.

    Very interesting film and commentary.

    In fact, there are Orthodox who firmly support the state of Israel, including Orthodox who have immigrated to Israel.

    One comment that Rabbi Shapiro made was that the Israeli military didn't need or want the Orthodox Yeshiva students. If true, the question or drafting Yeshiva students becomes a matter of internal Israeli policy, to be determined by the political process in Israel. If so, what can the effect of a rally in New York, USA be? Are the Orthodox trying to influence US pressure on Israel? Why should the government of Israel listen to New York Orthodox at all?

    As far as the internal politics of Israel, many of the people on this thread see Israel as the racist aggressor in the Middle East, pressuring the US to cause chaos and destruction in the area.

    I'm an American Firster, but I do support the existence of Israel. I think it's the responsibility of Israel, and not the US to maintain the existence of Israel. I fully support the commenter who wanted to do away with dual ciizenship. A citizen can have only one primary loyalty. This extends to dual citizenship with Israel, Mexico, Iran, or Hungary (though I have much sympathy with Hungarian citizens).

    The government of Israel wants the character of Israel to be Jewish (although Rabbi Shapiro would argue, not TOO Jewish. That's an internal Israeli affair, on which I wish to have no influence. In my opinion, any state that wishes to maintain its existence will have to pursue policies that could be termed as racist. Like, the US totally excluding Muslims from further immigration. Racist perhaps, and totally necessary. But, the US should not become involved in the internal affairs of other countries. And yes, that means stopping US foreign aid to Israel.

    As far as the 2003 attack on Iraq being a result of Jewish dual loyalists: it's possible. But, if so, let me point out that whatever influence the Jewish neocons had on the Iraqi attack was the stupidest ever. In fact, Jewish popular opinion tends, in my opinion, to be extremely stupid and self-destructive. In 2003, there were at least two states in the Middle East very hostile to Israel: Iraq and Iran. Who was the biggest enemy of Iran: Iraq. So, was taking out Iraq as a country helpful to Israel? Now, Iran is no longer facing Iraq, which had the population, and is only facing Saudi Arabia, which has only money and mercenaries. Was Israel a net beneficiary? So, if the neocons were acting out of Israel's interest and not the US's, they were being extremely stupid. I do consider neocons to be stupid, but that's the point.

    Looking at Jewish US popular opinion, Jews voted 70% for Obama and almost the same proportion for Hillary in 2016. Is it in the interest of US Jews to bring in more Muslims? More Muslims in Sweden and France have made parts of those countries unbearable for the Jews, who favored the open border policies. If you look on the websites of Jewish organizations in the US, you'll see almost universal horror at the very mild travel exclusions of the Trump Presidency. Whatever Jewish influence there is, runs directly counter to the real interests of Jewish US citizens.

    Someone mentioned that Israel itself is instituting ideological tests for aliya, or Jewish immigration to Israel. I think this is a sensible policy for Israel. If Israel wishes to maintain its character, the immigrants should reflect the ideological and cultural identity of the current population. But, I wish to make that an internal policy of Israel through, at a minimum, ceasing foreign aid to Israel and doing away with dual citizenship.

    From Money Manipulation And Social Order (Dublin: Browne and Nolan, 1944) by Fr. Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp., Professor of Philosophy and Church History, Holy Ghost Missionary College, Dublin:

    When the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, created in 1913 by Mr. Paul Warburg, a German Jew belonging to the Banking Firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, had been a few years in existence, in 1916 to be precise, President Woodrow Wilson thus summed up the situation in U.S.A.: “A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. . . We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world—no longer a Government by conviction and the free vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men.” From the similar testimonies quoted by Christopher Hollis in The Two Nations, let us take one. “Behind the ostensible government,” ran Roosevelt’s policy, ” sits enthroned an invisible government owning no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”

    "So it is safe to say that much of the agitation to do something about Iran comes from Israel and from American Jews."

    Certainly SOME Israelis and American Jews are involved in developing policy designed to generate hostility to the point of potential war.

    But Dick Cheney and Erik Prince, among other prominent non-Jews, bear mentioning.

    Regardless, the Jew fixation here is duly noted. Boo! Goes the Joo!

    "The USA is a colony of Israel".

    Fake News Story. Now, let us assume that to be true. What are personally doing about this situation? What active measures are you taking to free yourself from the shackles of your oppressor? Or, are simply impotent while taking it good and hard?

    Phil Giraldi's title, admittedly, is infelicitous because it gives ammunition to ADL and their ilk to label the article, guess what,...Antisemitic, their favorite slur. Though again I disagree with the choice of his title, which makes it an easy target, I understand Giraldi's frustration at witnessing the apocalyptic blow AIPAC delivers to the sustainability of the United States as a country. Obviously, not all Jews in DC's and NYC's elite are driving us to war, and of course many non-Jews are. It remains incontrovertible, however, that a very active, powerful, organized, and influential minority of people, who identify as Jewish, are restless and effective Israel-firsters. They see dragging America into Israel's wars in the Middle East as furthering Israel's national security interest. Only a fool would deny the obscene amount of power the Zionist faction wields in the USA.

  86. I just want to point out, being a (fake) “news” consumer, I hear about Israel all the time, all while not hearing a lot of follow-up detail about Israel and its interests. Isn’t that a clever sleight of hand? According to the pro-Israel (by extension jews) propaganda I’m required to care about, despite it having nothing to do with my life, my family’s life, my neighbors’ lives, and my community’s lives… Israel is that big of a deal. Actually, I hear more about Israel in the media than I hear about my home state of Michigan. Michigan is probably a lot more important to the US economy, US security, US tourism industry, Midwestern industrial technology industry, US engineering industry, and the Midwestern Farming economy, than Israel is. Then there are the people who live here, who are Americans. Israel first, then Americans? Okay, got it.

    If the public were exposed to as much emotionally captivating propaganda about Michigan as they were about Israel, I’d posit the public would see a far better investment in Michigan than they would in Israel. That includes an emotional investment.

    I don’t know what can be politely said or how it would shape up, but Midwesterners desperately need to understand the Israel (by extension jewish) problem. They’re bleeding us and getting away with it, all while getting away with incessantly calling us racists and anti-semites. Because again, caring about Michigan and its people first is just morally irreprehensible. Israel first, then Israel second, etc… Got it bigot? That sleight of hand, it’s just always there. I don’t fully grasp how this large scale agit-prop psychology works. I do understand jewish solidarity. I’ll hand it to jews, they have the strongest ethnic/religious/cultural solidarity I’ve ever seen. If Midwesterners realized the value of this level of solidarity, they wouldn’t enlist their sons in the military to serve jewish interests overseas.

    As for your highly insightful and erudite commentary, about "Iran not being very friendly toward USA," I had a bit of a conversation with Sebastian Gorky some months ago (before Gorky was hired then fired by the Trump). Gorky said that Iran was a threat to the USA; I suggested that Gorky look at a map and count the bases USA had surrounding Iran, then tally up the bases that Iran had on or around US territory. "What is Iran doing to USA, that USA should aim so many guns at Iran, on its own home turf," I asked SG.
    Honest to god -- I have it on record -- Gorky came near to popping a blood vessel when he screamed in my face: "Iran says Death to America!"
    For that reason, USA should maintain Iran in the crosshairs of 36 military bases, about which, in your cribbed view, Iran should be totally complacent.

    One of the great triumphs of Zionism is its success at conflating Zionism with Judaism. In some sense Zionism is the antithesis of Judaism. Zionism is the suicidal ideology that seeks to replace the native inhabitants of Palestine with alien Jews. These Jews will then be surrounded by implacable enemies who will sooner or later wipe them out. Throughout their history, Jews have had a fatal attraction to this kind of zealotry. It’s why Jews have a fascination with communism and it’s what got the Jews booted out of Palestine, in the first place, nearly two thousand years ago.

    As even you admit, the "native inhabitants of Palestine" are in fact Jews. There is no such thing as a "Palestinian".

    How is the article’s factual content fundamentally different from the similar content of the Haaretz article linked by Greg Bacon in post 21 above? Is the Haaretz piece “unhinged and bigoted”?

    Or is it not the statement of the facts that you are outraged by, but merely the proposed solutions? If so, then what solutions to the problem identified by Giraldi and by Haaretz would you propose?

    If Trump’s insane rhetoric on Iran and push for war isn’t an example of bloodlust, why don’t you tell me what it is?

    Good examples might be the desperate attempts to prevent the deal with Iran that hopefully will prove to have cauterised the longstanding efforts to use the spurious nuclear weapons issue to push the US towards confrontation and war with Iran:

    KEY JEWISH DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS SAY THEY WILL VOTE AGAINST IRAN DEAL

    Or when Israel’s primary agents of political influence in the US went “all out” to try to get the US to attack Syria and hand yet another country to (even more) jihadist-ridden chaos:

    AIPAC to go all-out on Syria

    But hey, I suppose for you those are just more examples of “unhingedness” and “bigotedness”.

    Hahaaaa. Good one. It would be interesting to graph PG's increasing shrillness over at least the last twelve years on the subject.

    I think we are witnessing a peak, yet I might be wrong; soon to be followed by the Protocols? As a Jew should I recuse myself from all commentary? But then, I forget, I lack a conscience, or something, something.......

    “… I lack a conscience.”

    Noble admission, Sam The Sham!

    Those who lack conscience and wield power are most to be feared and exposed.

    Selah.

    We must not passover Shama’s foolish description of Mr. Giraldi’s daring words as “shrillness.”

    In addition, Sam The Sham must have missed Mr. Giraldi’s comment # 37 where one can learn he’s already “graphed” by CIA and FBI ! As a shrill Jew, Shammy should run to the authorities and report that P.G. knows he’s being “tailed.”

    Selah.

    One point where Shama is correct (by accident) is his words, “we are witnessing a peak.”

    Donald Trump is the latest in a dynastic line of ZUSA emperors. His key job assignment is to eliminate the threat of the Islamic Republic of Iran and facilitate plans for M.E. map redrawing to include Greater Israel.

    Selah.

    Before 9/11, please note how ZUSA co-emperor W. Bush Cheney reigned? How convenient for Ariel Sharon to be leading the “only democracy in the Middle East!” And we goyim must wonder (in awe) as to why the hell 9/11 never underwent serious crime investigation?

    Selah.

    I conclude now with the theater presentation observable during the reign of ZUSA Emperor Obama. As a smooth but deceptive Nobel Peace prize winner, Obama knew that the nuclear weapons deal with Iran was born to fail. Evidence of his duo- royal loyalty was the gift of $3.9 billion and its extension for ten (10) years to Netanyahu’s Iran-hating & scandal plagued government.

    Selah.

    It’s soon likely that Corporate Media “Talking Heads” (especially Fox News) will be repeating the mantra of crooked / approved regime historians who will report, “Obama was Chamberlain and now the Homeland is lucky to have a Churchill in the tweets of President Donald J. Trump!”

  97. Excellent article. In matters involving Israel, politically-active Jewish-Americans have a conflict of interest the size of Brooklyn. This conflict must be identified. And loudly.

    Since every Jew is automatically eligible for Israeli citizenship, these Diaspora Zionists should be sidelined from playing a decisive role in formulating US policies in the Middle East. This exclusion represents nothing more than common sense.

    Sadly, few writers, pundits or intellectuals dare to examine the poisonous consequences of this ongoing charade. Jewish privilege is has reached its zenith in American life. People are afraid.

    Zionists have successfully orchestrated a series of criminal, preemptive wars and invasions based on deliberate falsehoods and manufactured disinformation. These ongoing Jewish machinations go back to WWI, and earlier.

    Meanwhile, millions of lives have been destroyed. Trillions of dollars have been squandered. Today, Israel confiscates more and more territory, gets to keep its nuclear WMD, and quietly goes about expelling non-Jews from its ever-expanding territories. The Zionist state’s aggressive, race-based policies are totally at odds with everything America supposedly stands for. Yet they endure in plain view and with virtually no criticism. This is Jewish power.

    To sustain these glaring double-standards, political and cultural life in the US has been completely warped. Israel’s unique and perilous status requires it. Even Free Speech is being criminalized. And it’s all in order to preserve the special status of Washington’s most sacred cow.

    The time has come to unmask these mega-powerful crypto-Israelis and Zionist institutions for what they are: ruthless agents an unscrupulous global cabal.

    "For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.”

    How does that happen? The question defies the entire article. The "Media". The media Phil just described, is Jewish owned and operated. Who the Hell is going to get the Jewish Jeff Bezos (to cite only one example, but a huge one in Washington), who supports losing enterprise Washington Post, the AEI, the AJC and all the rest with BIG money, how are you going to get HIM to splash across the front page that Bill Kristol is, “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” ? How does that work? What are the mechanics of such a proposition? Loss of subscribers? Check, already done. Boycott the WashPost's advertisers? They already lost those because the paper isn't viable in the business model of a newspaper, it's only a very loud megaphone for the Jewish interest. The damned thing runs a 60 million dollar deficit every month, supported tirelessly by Amazon. But nowadays it has become a Pro-Israeli rap-sheet, a monster-shouter for these wars, all of them. How are we to oppose THAT?

    Phil also forgets (or maybe Jewish influence and owndership is so great and such a hegemony he can't cover it all) the death-grip stranglehold Jews hold on our courts, the banks, Wall Street. Protest any of it, you're an "Anti", a racist, a bigot, a Nazi. The most racist, Nazi race/religion/monolith on the planet, Jews, label all who oppose it, racist. And that's the mantra and they have the media to back it up. Oppose their instruments, the Clintons, all of a sudden, shazzzaaam! You're dead of a robbery on the streets at 4:00 AM. There are dozens of dead on the tab of this cabal. This is Israel's crew and nobody fucks with these guys.

    Ye Gawds, growing up in the 60's, the WashPost was hideously anti-war. Look at them now. And their new banner, "Democracy Dies In The Darkness", boy is that an evil and disingenuous point to push, breathtaking in its dishonesty, the sheer hubris with which they operate. It went up after Obama was out and Trump in. All of a sudden, Jewish media is interested in our "Democracy", which was never supposed to be one in the first place.

    Excuse me, I need to go throw up now..

    When examined objectively the power that one very small ethnic group wields in this country is frightening and a direct threat to constitutional democracy. Jews are a little over one percent of the population, yet individual Jews, almost all Zionist and anti-Christian, exercise overwhelming control of the entertainment and news industries. Similar individual Jews have a nearly overwhelming presence in higher education, the legal system, the financial sector. Until recently such Jews formed a majority of the Supreme Court. Jews like Adelson, Saban and many others wield overwhelming financial control of the political system in this country. Others have formed innumerable open and covert organizations to promote Jewish interests, e.g., Soros, Dees, et al. There is no Elders of Zion but that this country is now essentially run by people, all drawn from this minority of Zionist, anti-Christian Jews, drawn in turn from a very small Jewish minority should be of concern to any rational citizen, Jew or non-Jew.

    "... I lack a conscience."

    Noble admission, Sam The Sham!

    Those who lack conscience and wield power are most to be feared and exposed.

    Selah.

    We must not passover Shama's foolish description of Mr. Giraldi's daring words as "shrillness."

    In addition, Sam The Sham must have missed Mr. Giraldi's comment # 37 where one can learn he's already "graphed" by CIA and FBI ! As a shrill Jew, Shammy should run to the authorities and report that P.G. knows he's being "tailed."

    Selah.

    One point where Shama is correct (by accident) is his words, "we are witnessing a peak."

    Donald Trump is the latest in a dynastic line of ZUSA emperors. His key job assignment is to eliminate the threat of the Islamic Republic of Iran and facilitate plans for M.E. map redrawing to include Greater Israel.

    Selah.

    Before 9/11, please note how ZUSA co-emperor W. Bush Cheney reigned? How convenient for Ariel Sharon to be leading the "only democracy in the Middle East!" And we goyim must wonder (in awe) as to why the hell 9/11 never underwent serious crime investigation?

    Selah.

    I conclude now with the theater presentation observable during the reign of ZUSA Emperor Obama. As a smooth but deceptive Nobel Peace prize winner, Obama knew that the nuclear weapons deal with Iran was born to fail. Evidence of his duo- royal loyalty was the gift of $3.9 billion and its extension for ten (10) years to Netanyahu's Iran-hating & scandal plagued government.

    Selah.

    It's soon likely that Corporate Media "Talking Heads" (especially Fox News) will be repeating the mantra of crooked / approved regime historians who will report, "Obama was Chamberlain and now the Homeland is lucky to have a Churchill in the tweets of President Donald J. Trump!"

    "Selah" is a Hebrew (not "Jewish") word signifying a break in the vocals of a song to allow for a stretch of instrumental only (typically eight bars) after which the vocals resume.
    Interestingly it is used virtually exclusively in Western (the 12 "lost tribes") music. But the word itself is most common in the Book of Psalms.

    Tbere's a problem with your diagnosis, a potentially fatal problem. In contrast to your mere abuse and vituperation PG makes a reasoned case that America is being pushed towards war with Iran that cannot benefit the US by American Jews who put what they perceive as the interests of Israel first. If you can attack his case on its facts or its reasoning why don't you do so? It could enlighten impartial readers. But perhaps you are a troll as Che Guava suggests and your purpose is to add strength to PG's persuasiveness.

    You casually throw into this thread which is mostly about Jewish influence on ME policy a devastatingly perceptive rational explanation for Jewish attitudes to immigration policy and multiculturalusm.

    "to preclude the rise of a Nazi like régime" is in line with John Derbyshire's observation a few months ago that there is still a small fraction of America's Jewish community which hears the horses of the Cossack horses riding to the latest pogrom. It is a rational updating. It supports a "better to be safe than sorry" attitude for Jews conscious of how well assimilated German Jews were. Sadly, their even more assimilated American grandchildren are likely to regret it.

  106. Dual loyalty is an avoided and career-ending subject for a couple reasons. One must never, ever, criticize Jews (a third rail at complete odds with) and one may not criticize immigrants’ behavior. The obvious problem is Treason. Just how much Treason is the result of so-called “dual loyalty”?

    And isn’t Treason subject to some rather serious legal sanctions? Why aren’t we hanging Traitors instead of quietly flying them back to Israel or wherever?

    Ultimately the reason is that Jews are Holy objects to Christians. Christians worship Yeshua (a Jew) and his putative father-god YHWH. It really is that simple. America has enough Evangelicals alone to ensure the course never deviates and will fulfill their sacred prophesies. Jews run media? So what? Jews run RELIGION in America – both the communist bureaucratic State diversity cult as well as Christianity (Yeshuanity). It’s awfully hard to condemn Jews when one worships them.

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we're a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    We still remember our response when the Holy Trinity was first explained to us. We were astounded how fucked up this whole thing is. So G-d is Jesus' father, but they are also one and the same? How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then... who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that's who. Yeah, we just don't get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn't that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d's spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

    "Dual loyalty" deserves more nuanced treatment than just the thinking time coterminous with uttering the words. Start by considering that we all have multiple identities, sometimes several of equal importance to us. Then perhaps move to how one reconciles one's dual or multiple loyalties.

    Having trouble getting off the ground with this? Think of Grandma who brought up young Jack to be a law abiding good citizen and is completely sure that his shooting of one dead individual was not murder, but she has a lifelong loyalty to good citizenship supporting the police and law and order...

    Jews are white.

    Ashkenazi Jews, and those are the ones we are mainly dealing with, are an endogamous caste of bankers, progressive journalists, lawyers, and social scientists (including, now, education), that have migrated all over Europe, but never identifying as European, with exceptions that prove the rule.
    As a tribe, once can read Kevin MacDonald’s work to see how they work in remarkable ethnic cohesion–not necessarily as an “organized conspiracy” (though that certainly happens), but as an ethnic drive.

    Outside of an almost symbolic launch of cruise missiles into Syria in April, how has Trump been a warmonger?

    I remember the debate between Pence and the hideous Tim Kaine where the Democrat vowed that there would be No Fly Zone over Syria which would certainly have allowed the head chopping rebels to gain a stronger foothold.

    In addition to all that, Trump has also cut off aid to the Syrian rebels. His Afghanistan policy /escalation is also symbolic. US troops won't be in direct combat and there will only be 15000 there anyway.

    Outside of an almost symbolic launch of cruise missiles into Syria in April, how has Trump been a warmonger?

    You haven’t been paying attention. Since the initial strike in April, the Trump administration has deliberately attacked regime or allied forces an additional five times. (one, two, three, four, five).

    Including the Tomahawks in April, that’s a total of 6 deliberate attacks on the Syrian Arab Republic or its allies (so far), which is already 6 more than Obama carried out during his entire presidency. And it’s not like this is the end of Trump’s tenure, either; it’s the 9th goddamn month since he’s been in office. I’m sure the war hawks in Wahington are quite pleased with his progress, as they should be.

    In addition to all that, Trump has also cut off aid to the Syrian rebels. His Afghanistan policy /escalation is also symbolic.

    Anyone could tell by that point that Assad isn’t going to be overthrown. The aim now is to limit the Assad regime’s territorial gains as much as possible, and the “rebels” proved they were useless at doing that when Shia militia reached the Iraqi border at al-Tanf, and cut them off from reaching Deir ez-Zor back in May (which was what one of the attacks mentioned above was about).

    After that, the Trump administration put all its eggs in the “Syrian Democratic Forces/People’s Protection Units (SDF/YPG) basket, the mainly Kurdish (with some Arab fighters) militia that the US has been using to fight ISIS since 2015 (it’s also, ironically, a hard left socialist organization. Think Kurdish Antifa. Though I doubt Trump knows or cares or could do anything about it even if he did). Trump has given the SDF <a title=”"https://sputniknews.com/amp/middleeast/201709141057402885-america-weaponry-deir-ez-zor/&quot;https://sputniknews.com/amp/middleeast/201709141057402885-america-weaponry-deir-ez-zor/&quot;heavy weaponry with the aim of confronting Assad and limiting his territorial gains. They’ve also been pressuring the rebel groups they formerly supported to join the SDF.

    I have sympathy for the SDF/YPG and the Syrian Kurds, and it made sense to support them when they were under direct assault from ISIS (though US motives were hardly altruistic even then). But ISIS is all but beaten now, and this is a dangerous game the US is playing, which could readily lead to a military confrontation betweeen the US and Russia and/or Iran. In fact, just a few days ago, the SDF seized part of Deir ez-Zor after SAA forces reached the city, and the Pentagon is now accusing Russia (which has in the past at least had good relations with the SDF/YPG), of deliberately bombing SDF fighters, in close proximity to American special forces.

    US troops won’t be in direct combat and there will only be 15000 there anyway.

    Only 15,000! I guess you wouldn’t mind, then, if they Taliban, or the Afghan Army for that matter, or any other country, put 15,000 troops on American soil, as a “symbolic” gesture.

    Trump has also accelerated US collaboration in the sadistic torture of Yemen by the Saudis, past the levels under even Obama, which was already shameful.

    And again, we should also keep in mind that it’s only been 9 months. For his next act, Trump might be thinking about ending the Iran deal in October.

There are no scenarios in which Iran could destroy US bases without changing the meaning of the word "suicidal", is there?

    Before you decide to label as sociopath, anyone who proposes a worldview grounded in reality, you might think long and hard about the multitude of paths this world can take under the scenario of a wholesale withdrawal of U.S. presence in the Gulf. Most one hears on this forum, including your own, reduce to precious nothing over virtue signalling.

    Like it or not the world is never going to assume the shape of a collection of nations equal in power, interests and endowments. Hoping for that is to live in a state of delusion.

    U.S. does not wish to go on an offensive mission against Iran. Far from it; yet facilitating her allies' aspirations to join the American vision isn't one we are about to walk away from. That is not chest beating. It is eminently in evidence from the number of nations wishing to join the Western economic and cultural model. I am keenly aware of the lunatics on this forum who believe they'd be perfectly happy to embrace other cultures, I can only invite them to make haste.

    When examined objectively the power that one very small ethnic group wields in this country is frightening and a direct threat to constitutional democracy. Jews are a little over one percent of the population, yet individual Jews, almost all Zionist and anti-Christian, exercise overwhelming control of the entertainment and news industries. Similar individual Jews have a nearly overwhelming presence in higher education, the legal system, the financial sector. Until recently such Jews formed a majority of the Supreme Court. Jews like Adelson, Saban and many others wield overwhelming financial control of the political system in this country. Others have formed innumerable open and covert organizations to promote Jewish interests, e.g., Soros, Dees, et al. There is no Elders of Zion but that this country is now essentially run by people, all drawn from this minority of Zionist, anti-Christian Jews, drawn in turn from a very small Jewish minority should be of concern to any rational citizen, Jew or non-Jew.

    Good post, but for the sake of accuracy, Morris Dees is not Jewish (easy to make the mistake, though). He was named after his father, a demented Christian Zionist who was given the name of a Jewish friend of the grandfather.

    How many Christians are not Zionists? They all worship the Jewish god YHWH. They all worship his putative son Yeshua. The majority believe ole Yeshua is coming back to fight off that evil old (and also Jewish) Satan. Furthermore, they believe this great title bout must occur in - yessiree - the "holy land" (i.e. Israel/Zion/Jerusalem).

    The irony here is perhaps the greatest. The Jew blaming is almost Stormfront level while the commenters pound their translated Hebrew books and whinge that the Jews are conspiring against them. They are far more brainwashed than any communist AntiFa type. "None are so blind as those who refuse to see" and all that. Worshipping some random Jewish bastard who became a handyman or some random desert cave dwelling Jew with vivid hallucinations is exactly the same as the Jews' worship of a lunatic who talks to god from a mountaintop (or his LDS successor).

    If an article titled “America’s Jews are Behind America’s Wars” isn’t unhinged and bigoted, I’d like you to tell me what is.
     
    How is the article's factual content fundamentally different from the similar content of the Haaretz article linked by Greg Bacon in post 21 above? Is the Haaretz piece "unhinged and bigoted"?

    Or is it not the statement of the facts that you are outraged by, but merely the proposed solutions? If so, then what solutions to the problem identified by Giraldi and by Haaretz would you propose?

    If Trump’s insane rhetoric on Iran and push for war isn’t an example of bloodlust, why don’t you tell me what it is?
     
    Good examples might be the desperate attempts to prevent the deal with Iran that hopefully will prove to have cauterised the longstanding efforts to use the spurious nuclear weapons issue to push the US towards confrontation and war with Iran:

    KEY JEWISH DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS SAY THEY WILL VOTE AGAINST IRAN DEAL

    Or when Israel's primary agents of political influence in the US went "all out" to try to get the US to attack Syria and hand yet another country to (even more) jihadist-ridden chaos:

    AIPAC to go all-out on Syria

    But hey, I suppose for you those are just more examples of "unhingedness" and "bigotedness".

    It must be strange living in the world you inhabit, so far removed from basic reality by a desperate need to avoid being seen as any kind of badwhite.

    I didn’t say there weren’t any Jews pushing for a war with Iran, I said there are plenty of non-Jews pushing for one too, including Trump himself. Hostility toward Iran (and imperialism generally) is deeply rooted in the American foreign policy establishment (which isn’t close to being all or mostly Jewish), and can’t be explained by naive WASPs being manipulated by clever Jews. It’s not just bigoted, it’s a cartoonishly stupid “explanation”.

    Which certainly doesn't mean there isn't a particular problem, exactly as Giraldi describes it with plenty of sound supporting examples, of dual loyalty jews pushing wars that favour Israel.

    In fact, the reality is that Giraldi might be guilty of, at most, overstatement, but since a large part of the problem is precisely that any reference at all to the problem is suppressed, one might expect an honest opponent of the US's military interventionism to temper his criticism of Giraldi's piece appropriately. For whatever reason, instead, you seem to feel the need to hysterically accuse it as though it contains no truth whatsoever.

    What gives?

    Hostility toward Iran (and imperialism generally) is deeply rooted in the American foreign policy establishment (which isn’t close to being all or mostly Jewish), and can’t be explained by naive WASPs being manipulated by clever Jews.
     
    Of course, the Israel Lobby is much bigger than just jews, and stupid American Christians manipulated by their church leaders into believing fatuous ideas about Israel based upon dubiously interpreted biblical nonsense has historically provided a lot of its political clout.

    That's another problem, but it doesn't make the problem highlighted by Giraldi not a problem. The jewish individuals named by Giraldi still massively disproportionately dominate the foreign policy media and political debate on ME wars, and the wealthy jewish Israel supporters mentioned by him still massively disproportionately influence who gets heard and which opinions are suppressed and which promoted.

Selah is the English transliteration of a word, appearing in many of the Psalms, which seems to be an indicator of some kind of liturgical/performance action. Based on context it seems to assign an especial importance to the preceding verse or verses.

    oh stop beating around the bush

    it’s *obviously* anti-Semitism!

    anyone who points out Jewish treachery and relentless war mongering on behalf of Israel is obviously an anti-Semite (who hates all Jews for no other reason than envy for their choseness)

    anyone who believes the war on Iraq was due to the black-hearted treachery of Jewish neocons in the Bush administration are clearly anti-Semites. Just as anyone who believes the msm is owned and controlled by zio-Jews = are anti=Semites.

    just as anyone who doubts Israel’s ownership of all of the lands of Palestine (and the Golan Heights!) are obviously raging racists are anti-Semites!

    it’s really quite simple..

    if you point out their Jewish supremacist intrigues for war or relentless Marxism or say anything less than gushing about Jews = you are a hateful bigot and racist, Nazi terrorist and anti-Semite who wants to push Ann Frank into an oven

    I am not willing to say that he is anti-Semitic, although I lean in that direction, and certainly leaned that way in the past. I am trying to move away from labeling and trying to concentrate on the ideas and arguments. I was proposing an explanation as to why he would write in a manner that would arouse anti-Semitic passions from people such as yourself and your fellow travelers. Is anti-Semitism the only reason?

    Wow, Phil, you hit another one right out of the ball park!

    It’s all enabled by The Big Lie.
    The only reason the average American is silenced about parasitical Zionists and Israel is because they’ve had their head filled with various absurd fictions such as Holocaust propaganda, “Judeo-Christian values”, and Jews being a uniquely righteous, exceptional, and persecuted people.

    The ’6M Jews, 5M others, & gas chambers’ are scientifically impossible frauds.
    see the ‘holocaust’ scam debunked here:

    http://codoh.com

    No name calling, level playing field debate here:

    http://forum.codoh.com

    We’re talking about an alleged ’6M Jews & 5M others’ … 11,000,000.
    There is not a single verifiable excavated enormous mass grave with contents actually SHOWN, not just claimed, (recall the claim of 900,000 buried at Treblinka, 1,250,000 at Auschwitz, or 250,000 at Sobibor, 34,000 at Babi Yar) even though Jews claim they still exist and claim to know exactly where these alleged enormous mass graves are.

    Revisionists are just the messengers, the absurd impossibility of the laughable ‘holocaust’ storyline is the message.

    Phil Giraldi's title, admittedly, is infelicitous because it gives ammunition to ADL and their ilk to label the article, guess what,...Antisemitic, their favorite slur. Though again I disagree with the choice of his title, which makes it an easy target, I understand Giraldi's frustration at witnessing the apocalyptic blow AIPAC delivers to the sustainability of the United States as a country. Obviously, not all Jews in DC's and NYC's elite are driving us to war, and of course many non-Jews are. It remains incontrovertible, however, that a very active, powerful, organized, and influential minority of people, who identify as Jewish, are restless and effective Israel-firsters. They see dragging America into Israel's wars in the Middle East as furthering Israel's national security interest. Only a fool would deny the obscene amount of power the Zionist faction wields in the USA.

    There's a place for using the term "Zionist" and a place for using the term "jew" (the two are most certainly not interchangeable). The wider Zionist Israel Lobby in the US is certainly a big problem, but there is also the problem of jewish nationalists being disproportionately represented in the US foreign policy, media and political elites, while their likely nationalist ulterior motives are not mentioned and are largely unnoticed because of the prevailing taboo against mentioning it..

    Giraldi is discussing the latter and not the former, and doing a service to the American nation by his taboo-busting.

    I supported and voted for Trump as well. I don't like his neocon turn now, but which candidate in that election (save for Rand Paul and possibly Jill Stein) wouldn't have declared a non-fly zone in Syria and actively supported the overthrow of Assad? And started plans for attacking Iran? Who? Hillary? Hahahaha. Ted Cruz? Hahahaha. Etc.

    Bernie Sanders (a scary Jew!) wasn’t nearly as anti-imperialist as I would have liked him to be, but I doubt he would have attacked Assad regime forces 6 times like Trump has by this point, and certainly not without Congressional approval (which he probably wouldn’t have gotten, even if he had wanted it).

    Even under Hillary, the Iran deal would have stood a better chance, since she was at least verbally committed to it (unlike even Rand Paul), and there would have been Obama loyalists within the Clinton administration who would have been desperate to preserve Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement (and one of the only worthwhile ones, in my opinion, along with restoration of diplomatic ties with Cuba).

    Excellent article. In matters involving Israel, politically-active Jewish-Americans have a conflict of interest the size of Brooklyn. This conflict must be identified. And loudly.

    Since every Jew is automatically eligible for Israeli citizenship, these Diaspora Zionists should be sidelined from playing a decisive role in formulating US policies in the Middle East. This exclusion represents nothing more than common sense.

    Sadly, few writers, pundits or intellectuals dare to examine the poisonous consequences of this ongoing charade. Jewish privilege is has reached its zenith in American life. People are afraid.

    Zionists have successfully orchestrated a series of criminal, preemptive wars and invasions based on deliberate falsehoods and manufactured disinformation. These ongoing Jewish machinations go back to WWI, and earlier.

    Meanwhile, millions of lives have been destroyed. Trillions of dollars have been squandered. Today, Israel confiscates more and more territory, gets to keep its nuclear WMD, and quietly goes about expelling non-Jews from its ever-expanding territories. The Zionist state's aggressive, race-based policies are totally at odds with everything America supposedly stands for. Yet they endure in plain view and with virtually no criticism. This is Jewish power.

    To sustain these glaring double-standards, political and cultural life in the US has been completely warped. Israel's unique and perilous status requires it. Even Free Speech is being criminalized. And it's all in order to preserve the special status of Washington's most sacred cow.

    The time has come to unmask these mega-powerful crypto-Israelis and Zionist institutions for what they are: ruthless agents an unscrupulous global cabal.

    This is Jewish power.

    and raging Gentile venality and cowardice

    if it weren’t for the ease with which every single Gentile leader in the West today toadies to all things Jewi$h, then ((they’d)) get exactly nowhere.

    I don’t know which is worse, Jewish treachery or Gentile perfidy

    on the scale of execrable scoundrels, certainly Dick Cheney and Tony Blair will go down as two of history’s most loathsome villains imaginable. There doesn’t even seem to be a precedent for this kind of historic betrayal of one’s own people and nations- to the tender mercies of their most intractable enemy.

    There is no mystery here. Zilch. Culture follows itself, rather like a tree follows its life pattern.

    WASP culture was born from the Reformation.Specifically, it was born of Anglo-Saxon Puritanism, which was a Judaizing heresy. Judaizing heresy necessarily produces culture that is pro-Semitic. That is true of even the earliest WASPs. Thomas Cromwell allied with Jews, inviting them back into England, because that made sense according to the theology that drove him and the entire Puritan Revolution.

    By the beginning of the Victorian era, virtually 100% of the British Empire's WASP Elites were rathr hardcore pro-Semitic. A majority of them were pro-Jewish, in a secular way that would have seemed wrong to 'orthodox' Puritans but actually was the inevitable child of that movement and its driving doctrines and passions. The rest of the pro-Semitic WASP Elites of the Victorian era were pro-Arabic and pro-Islamic (a few of those pro-Moslems were either pro-Iranian or pro-Turkish, but most were pro-Arabic).

    Out of that divide would come two things: the Balfour Declaration, and thus the eventual creation of the nation of Israel, and the Brits backing the House of Saud and thus necessarily Wahhabi Islam.

    The pro-Semitic nature of WASP (Elite) culture guaranteed - because nobody was powerful enough to stop WASP culture from creating them - both Israel and Saudi Arabia.

    And look what we have today: the successor to the British Empire, the USA, backing both Israel and Saudi Arabia as they do endless mischief, more than a bit of it evil.

    WASP culture created both Israel and the power of the Saudis. WASP cultural Elites are anything but innocent victims of Jewish and Saudi manipulations.

    Laughable.

    Typical Jew ‘we didn’t do nuthin’, blame their own actions on WASPs.

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    The fact that there are so many who profess to the Christian faith, who are as evil as those Joo neocons, such as those you mentioned, simply cannot be denied. Even if hypothetically speaking the Joos were to vanish overnight, the wars of aggression by the Evil Empire will continue unabated.

    The Evil Empire and its Evil b!tch both share the same satanic vision of world domination. Two evil nations, made for each other, in a match made in Hell.

    Btw, the orange scumbag was hilariously evil at the UN.

    Both N.Korea and Iran should simply call this bastard’s bluff, by literally giving him the finger. I say, let the chips fall where they may. Let’s see how the American, Japanese, S.Korean, Israeli & “Royal” pussies like the consequences.

    To you N.Koreans, its been written that you will target the thousands of American Terrorists stationed in the south. I am counting on that, so don’t you miss chaps.

    Iran isn't stupid or suicidal. Its anti-ship missiles are for deterrence, which Iran has plenty of need for, as sociopaths like you populate the American, Israeli, and Saudi governments and are itching to attack.

    I am glad you think Iran isn’t stupid or suicidal. Yet it doesn’t square with your earlier statement which reads “I’m glad they have the capability, if need be, to destroy the hostile military bases that encircle them“. There are no scenarios in which Iran could destroy US bases without changing the meaning of the word “suicidal”, is there?

    Before you decide to label as sociopath, anyone who proposes a worldview grounded in reality, you might think long and hard about the multitude of paths this world can take under the scenario of a wholesale withdrawal of U.S. presence in the Gulf. Most one hears on this forum, including your own, reduce to precious nothing over virtue signalling.

    Like it or not the world is never going to assume the shape of a collection of nations equal in power, interests and endowments. Hoping for that is to live in a state of delusion.

    U.S. does not wish to go on an offensive mission against Iran. Far from it; yet facilitating her allies’ aspirations to join the American vision isn’t one we are about to walk away from. That is not chest beating. It is eminently in evidence from the number of nations wishing to join the Western economic and cultural model. I am keenly aware of the lunatics on this forum who believe they’d be perfectly happy to embrace other cultures, I can only invite them to make haste.

    In the case of a defensive war with United States, there sure would be. At that point Iran would not have much hope but to inflict as much damage as possible on the aggressor. Although Iran does not nearly have the ability to fully reciprocate the harm the US can inflict on it, it hopefully has the capability to inflict enough damage so that an offensive war against it would be intolerable to the US. That's how deterrence works.

    U.S. does not wish to go on an offensive mission against Iran.
     
    If that's true, and I sincerely hope it is, it's because Iran has sufficient deterrent capacity, which includes not only the anti-ship missiles in the Gulf, but also Hezbollah's arsenal of ~130,000 short, medium and long-range rockets capable of reaching every square inch of Israeli territory.

    Believe me, I'm a realist. You don't have to lecture me on the reality of aggressive rogue nations.

    I didn't say there weren't any Jews pushing for a war with Iran, I said there are plenty of non-Jews pushing for one too, including Trump himself. Hostility toward Iran (and imperialism generally) is deeply rooted in the American foreign policy establishment (which isn't close to being all or mostly Jewish), and can't be explained by naive WASPs being manipulated by clever Jews. It's not just bigoted, it's a cartoonishly stupid "explanation".

    I didn’t say there weren’t any Jews pushing for a war with Iran, I said there are plenty of non-Jews pushing for one too, including Trump himself.

    Which certainly doesn’t mean there isn’t a particular problem, exactly as Giraldi describes it with plenty of sound supporting examples, of dual loyalty jews pushing wars that favour Israel.

    In fact, the reality is that Giraldi might be guilty of, at most, overstatement, but since a large part of the problem is precisely that any reference at all to the problem is suppressed, one might expect an honest opponent of the US’s military interventionism to temper his criticism of Giraldi’s piece appropriately. For whatever reason, instead, you seem to feel the need to hysterically accuse it as though it contains no truth whatsoever.

    What gives?

    Hostility toward Iran (and imperialism generally) is deeply rooted in the American foreign policy establishment (which isn’t close to being all or mostly Jewish), and can’t be explained by naive WASPs being manipulated by clever Jews.

    Of course, the Israel Lobby is much bigger than just jews, and stupid American Christians manipulated by their church leaders into believing fatuous ideas about Israel based upon dubiously interpreted biblical nonsense has historically provided a lot of its political clout.

    That’s another problem, but it doesn’t make the problem highlighted by Giraldi not a problem. The jewish individuals named by Giraldi still massively disproportionately dominate the foreign policy media and political debate on ME wars, and the wealthy jewish Israel supporters mentioned by him still massively disproportionately influence who gets heard and which opinions are suppressed and which promoted.

You'd be on the right track if you started paying attention to the central American goal since 1945 of keeping Middle Eastern oil in the hands of obedient governments within the American orbit, so it can serve as a non-Russian/non-Soviet, American-controlled source of energy for American allies (and economic competitors) in Europe and Japan.

    "overstatement" the word, if applied, would be an understatement. As I wrote in #59, PG has been at it since at least 2005. The refrain has only increased in targeting Jews, to the point where today it is almost the solitary factor. Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won't call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.

    The United States, like all great powers, has in her history an unbroken record of wars preceding the rise of Neocons [not interchangeable with Jews]. That Jews in leadership positions have contributed to foreign policy [here in the U.S., as they did for various HMGs] is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must've seen it here. No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.

  136. I wonder where Mr. Giraldi would put David Horowitz on the list? Although Horowitz is not a public policy maker, but rather an author and blogger, but definitely is a known Jewish voice. I respect Horowitz tremendously because of his background as an ex-Communist and his dead-on criticism of the American Left, both historically and currently. Although rather knee-jerk in his defense of Israel, I would not doubt his loyalty to this country one iota. I do not know if David Horowitz is a dual Israeli-American citizen, but he is not a legislator nor a government policy maker, so as far as I am concerned, the issue is moot. If one questions the loyalty to America, of Jews or any other group for that matter, the issue of holding dual citizenship while holding certain government offices should be something of concern. Once out of public office or service, then they can resume their dual citizenship. It makes the issue of loyalty less questionable.

The wider Zionist Israel Lobby in the US is certainly a big problem, but there is also the problem of jewish nationalists being disproportionately represented in the US foreign policy, media and political elites, while their likely nationalist ulterior motives are not mentioned and are largely unnoticed because of the prevailing taboo against mentioning it..

    Giraldi is discussing the latter and not the former, and doing a service to the American nation by his taboo-busting.

    Phil Giraldi’s title, admittedly, is infelicitous because it gives ammunition to ADL and their ilk to label the article, guess what,…Antisemitic, their favorite slur. Though again I disagree with the choice of his title, which makes it an easy target
     
    The only way, in the end, to get rid of an elite-imposed taboo is to ridicule it, and to break it with ever increasing impunity. Evading and thereby respecting it merely reinforces it.

    Good for Giraldi!

    Do you know if the ADL is aware of the existence of UR?

    Of course plenty of people who work for or complain to ADL would be aware of UR. Perhaps your question should be about its formal or quasi formal usual procedures for bringing an issue or institution to the attention of its executive cimmittee for formulation of a policy or watching brief.

    They can certainly try, and, I suppose you'd require the U.S. to stay her hand as a matter of fair principle while watching said bases destroyed. Nice idea, but I'd stick to reality. U.S. has vast interests, including economic ones; those which benefit every U.S. citizen, and, to be practical, all her allies.

    As an actual American born US Citizen, it would be to the benefit of every American if we brought all our troops home and left the Middle East to what ever vulture wanted it. Other than the UK and Canada the US has no allies.

The only upgrade is that Australians are no longer likely to be called "our Bulgarians" as they allegedly were by a US general in Vietnam.

    If an article titled “America’s Jews are Behind America’s Wars” isn’t unhinged and bigoted, I’d like you to tell me what is.
     
    How is the article's factual content fundamentally different from the similar content of the Haaretz article linked by Greg Bacon in post 21 above? Is the Haaretz piece "unhinged and bigoted"?

    Or is it not the statement of the facts that you are outraged by, but merely the proposed solutions? If so, then what solutions to the problem identified by Giraldi and by Haaretz would you propose?

    If Trump’s insane rhetoric on Iran and push for war isn’t an example of bloodlust, why don’t you tell me what it is?
     
    Good examples might be the desperate attempts to prevent the deal with Iran that hopefully will prove to have cauterised the longstanding efforts to use the spurious nuclear weapons issue to push the US towards confrontation and war with Iran:

    KEY JEWISH DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS SAY THEY WILL VOTE AGAINST IRAN DEAL

    Or when Israel's primary agents of political influence in the US went "all out" to try to get the US to attack Syria and hand yet another country to (even more) jihadist-ridden chaos:

    AIPAC to go all-out on Syria

    But hey, I suppose for you those are just more examples of "unhingedness" and "bigotedness".

    It must be strange living in the world you inhabit, so far removed from basic reality by a desperate need to avoid being seen as any kind of badwhite.

  144. A courageous article and spot on. Once again I’m thankful for Ron Unz and the Unz Review. You would never read such an article in the MSM.

    The late Samuel Huntington said in his amazing book Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order that Saudi Arabia and Iran are fighting for supremacy in the Islamic world. Syria is a proxy war between the two countries. Now Israel has become BFF with Saudi Arabia because they too want a piece of Syria, for the oil reserve in the Golan Heights. So now US troops are suddenly bombing “ISIS” in Syria while supplying “rebels” with arms, even though by the CIA’s own admission most of the arms supplied have fallen into the hands of ISIS since the rebels joined forces with them.

    Make no mistake Jews and Arabs run this country. That is why Trump went to Israel and SA for his first foreign trip, he knows who America’s daddy is, even if most Americans are still in the dark. His entire administration is crawling with Israel loving Jews, starting with his son-in-law the most loyal son of Israel. Even Steve Bannon and Breitbart are crazy gung ho pro-Israel. Nikki Haley might as well be renamed Israel’s ambassador to the UN. Every time that daft woman opens her mouth the US is in danger of going to war with somebody, usually on behalf of Israel.

    When was the last time Iran conducted a jihad against the west? All the Muslim terrorists now attacking the west are Sunnis, funded by Saudi Arabia. The only time Iran had direct armed conflict with the US was when they kicked us out of Tehran, for trying to steal their oil. All their beef is with Israel, not with the US. Why are we taking up Israel’s cause? Trump is a moron of the first order and has no understanding of what really goes on in the mideast. He surrounds himself with pro-Israel neocons and Jews and is easily manipulated. He’s stupid and dangerous. I voted for him because he presented himself as someone completely different, someone anti-war and anti-immigration, now he’s a neocon globalist libtard, the worst of all worlds. Someone needs to primary him out in 2020.

    Nope. As far as I know, he was being perfectly serious.

    And that is exactly the way the power elite think - although they are usually much more cautious about speaking their mind in public.

    Anyway, the American public has shown many times that it really doesn't give a rat's ass about foreigners being killed or maimed - not three of them, not three million of them. Foreigners might as well be bugs. What really matters is that feeling of power and superiority: their country is Top Nation and can whip anyone else, yes sir. Politicians continually rely on that undercurrent of nationalist chuavinism, and it never lets them down.

    The evil empire sustains itself primarily through this attitude of its people. It does not matter how the Jews connive to shape it. Only thing that matters is that they buy into it without exercising their conscience.

    I am glad you think Iran isn't stupid or suicidal. Yet it doesn't square with your earlier statement which reads "I’m glad they have the capability, if need be, to destroy the hostile military bases that encircle them". There are no scenarios in which Iran could destroy US bases without changing the meaning of the word "suicidal", is there?

    Before you decide to label as sociopath, anyone who proposes a worldview grounded in reality, you might think long and hard about the multitude of paths this world can take under the scenario of a wholesale withdrawal of U.S. presence in the Gulf. Most one hears on this forum, including your own, reduce to precious nothing over virtue signalling.

    Like it or not the world is never going to assume the shape of a collection of nations equal in power, interests and endowments. Hoping for that is to live in a state of delusion.

    U.S. does not wish to go on an offensive mission against Iran. Far from it; yet facilitating her allies' aspirations to join the American vision isn't one we are about to walk away from. That is not chest beating. It is eminently in evidence from the number of nations wishing to join the Western economic and cultural model. I am keenly aware of the lunatics on this forum who believe they'd be perfectly happy to embrace other cultures, I can only invite them to make haste.

    Spare me the rest of your sanctimony.

    “I’m glad they have the capability, if need be, to destroy the hostile military bases that encircle them“. There are no scenarios in which Iran could destroy US bases without changing the meaning of the word “suicidal”, is there?

    In the case of a defensive war with United States, there sure would be. At that point Iran would not have much hope but to inflict as much damage as possible on the aggressor. Although Iran does not nearly have the ability to fully reciprocate the harm the US can inflict on it, it hopefully has the capability to inflict enough damage so that an offensive war against it would be intolerable to the US. That’s how deterrence works.

    U.S. does not wish to go on an offensive mission against Iran.

    If that’s true, and I sincerely hope it is, it’s because Iran has sufficient deterrent capacity, which includes not only the anti-ship missiles in the Gulf, but also Hezbollah’s arsenal of ~130,000 short, medium and long-range rockets capable of reaching every square inch of Israeli territory.

    Believe me, I’m a realist. You don’t have to lecture me on the reality of aggressive rogue nations.

    Selah.

    Once writers could safely assume their readers’ familiarity with the Bible. Hunter Thompson used the word “Selah” humorously(?) to mark points to which he thought his readers should pay particular attention. Selah is the English transliteration of a word, appearing in many of the Psalms, which seems to be an indicator of some kind of liturgical/performance action. Based on context it seems to assign an especial importance to the preceding verse or verses.

    I didn’t say there weren’t any Jews pushing for a war with Iran, I said there are plenty of non-Jews pushing for one too, including Trump himself.
     
    Which certainly doesn't mean there isn't a particular problem, exactly as Giraldi describes it with plenty of sound supporting examples, of dual loyalty jews pushing wars that favour Israel.

    In fact, the reality is that Giraldi might be guilty of, at most, overstatement, but since a large part of the problem is precisely that any reference at all to the problem is suppressed, one might expect an honest opponent of the US's military interventionism to temper his criticism of Giraldi's piece appropriately. For whatever reason, instead, you seem to feel the need to hysterically accuse it as though it contains no truth whatsoever.

    What gives?

    Hostility toward Iran (and imperialism generally) is deeply rooted in the American foreign policy establishment (which isn’t close to being all or mostly Jewish), and can’t be explained by naive WASPs being manipulated by clever Jews.
     
    Of course, the Israel Lobby is much bigger than just jews, and stupid American Christians manipulated by their church leaders into believing fatuous ideas about Israel based upon dubiously interpreted biblical nonsense has historically provided a lot of its political clout.

    That's another problem, but it doesn't make the problem highlighted by Giraldi not a problem. The jewish individuals named by Giraldi still massively disproportionately dominate the foreign policy media and political debate on ME wars, and the wealthy jewish Israel supporters mentioned by him still massively disproportionately influence who gets heard and which opinions are suppressed and which promoted.

    “What gives” is that I think lunatic screeds about “America’s Jews” (like Noam Chomsky?) manipulating foreign policy do damage to the anti-war cause. I think solidarity and internationalism are the best weapons against militarism and imperialism.

    That’s slightly better than the 1-dimensional Joo-paranoia, but it doesn’t begin to describe the problem. You’d be on the right track if you started paying attention to the central American goal since 1945 of keeping Middle Eastern oil in the hands of obedient governments within the American orbit, so it can serve as a non-Russian/non-Soviet, American-controlled source of energy for American allies (and economic competitors) in Europe and Japan.

    Fair enough I suppose, but I reserve the right to point out the self-fulfilling nature of your objections to discussing that particular aspect of reality. You kowtow to an elite-imposed taboo that protects what is, at the least, one of the strongest pro-war lobbies from criticism, and thereby reinforce that taboo.

    Your choice, I suppose, but your hysterical accusations against Giraldi remain both hysterical and based in your ideological dogma rather than in reality.

    I think solidarity and internationalism are the best weapons against militarism and imperialism.
     
    Ok. Personally, I'm not a hippy so I tend to regard such drippy idealism as naïve nonsense. Especially as "solidarity and internationalism", far from being weapons against militarism, have in fact been dogmas used precisely to drive ahead one of the major strands of military interventionism, namely "R2P" and all the rest of the "humanitarian" interventionist nonsense.

    Dream on, though. At least you can feel good about your own virtuous opposition to badwhite thinking whilst you ineffectually flap against the next war.

    Do you think we'll ever see a headline like this splashed across the front pages or television screens of the Lugenpresse of Weimerica (LOW)? What am I saying? Why should we expect the LOW to publish such headlines when non-interventionist sites, like antiwar.com, are terrified of doing so?

    It takes real courage to defy The Lobby, but, unfortunately, few have it.

    From an April 2003 Haaretz article:

    The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history. Two of them, journalists William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer, say it's possible.

    This is a war of an elite. [Tom] Friedman laughs: I could give you the names of 25 people (all of whom are at this moment within a five-block radius of this office) who, if you had exiled them to a desert island a year and a half ago, the Iraq war would not have happened.


    http://www.haaretz.com/news/features/white-man-s-burden-1.14110

    If we're not careful, these same treacherous back-stabbing thugs will get the USA involved in a hot war with Iran, while Israel sets on the sideline, laughing about how gullible and stupid those Americans are.

    Hey Greg,

    Excellent link. This is great – we have a source for the 25 names – all of whom seem to still be around and within that same location. Let’s get them and put them on that island!

    Maybe some break away portion of Antarctica…

    That would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison – translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”

    I love this line! Perhaps we can drop them off complimentary bottles so they can have a toast to their new life!

    Jewish power and paranoia: disastrous wars on behalf of Israel and the transformation of the United States into a nonwhite-majority nation to preclude the rise of a Nazi-like regime.

    You casually throw into this thread which is mostly about Jewish influence on ME policy a devastatingly perceptive rational explanation for Jewish attitudes to immigration policy and multiculturalusm.

    “to preclude the rise of a Nazi like régime” is in line with John Derbyshire’s observation a few months ago that there is still a small fraction of America’s Jewish community which hears the horses of the Cossack horses riding to the latest pogrom. It is a rational updating. It supports a “better to be safe than sorry” attitude for Jews conscious of how well assimilated German Jews were. Sadly, their even more assimilated American grandchildren are likely to regret it.

    “overstatement” the word, if applied, would be an understatement. As I wrote in #59, PG has been at it since at least 2005. The refrain has only increased in targeting Jews, to the point where today it is almost the solitary factor. Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won’t call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.

    The United States, like all great powers, has in her history an unbroken record of wars preceding the rise of Neocons [not interchangeable with Jews]. That Jews in leadership positions have contributed to foreign policy [here in the U.S., as they did for various HMGs] is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must’ve seen it here. No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.

    Indeed, and the Iraq War occurred in 2003.

    Haaretz wrote in that year:

    "In the course of the past year, a new belief has emerged in the town: the belief in war against Iraq. That ardent faith was disseminated by a small group of 25 or 30 neoconservatives, almost all of them Jewish, almost all of them intellectuals (a partial list: Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, William Kristol, Eliot Abrams, Charles Krauthammer), people who are mutual friends and cultivate one another and are convinced that political ideas are a major driving force of history."

    That paragraph is not incorrect, even if it is not the full story.

    Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won’t call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.
     
    Can you not conceive that the undoubted "prominent representation" (at least) in the area of foreign policy, and the evident tilt of that foreign policy towards wars that appear to be in the interests of Israel (or at any rate the interests of Israel as they are seen by those prominent representatives), could create a justified concern in a reasonable opponent of US military interventionism that US policy in that area is being pushed in the wrong direction by a powerful group whose loyalties are at least conflicted?

    Can you not accept that dual loyalty could ever be a legitimate concern for those who don't like the way US policy is pushed by the "prominent representation" you are prepared to admit to?

    Can you not accept that "dual loyalty" is a perfectly legitimate suspicion to raise against anyone with clear nationalist or religious ties to a foreign country?

    That Jews in leadership positions have contributed to foreign policy [here in the U.S., as they did for various HMGs] is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must’ve seen it here.
     
    Indeed, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the case Giraldi makes here, except to the extent that you speculate that it is motivation for presenting it.

    In that sense, it is mere ad hominem.

    No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.
     
    An assertion that has nothing to do with Giraldi's argument here.

    I think you are ignoring that Haaretz article cited by Greg Bacon. I have to say I found it a bit shocking. I recall a Jewish editor friend who had been US correspondent for a major newspaper responding in 2003 to statements about the Jewishness of neo-cons noting that Rumsfeld and Cheney weren't Jewish. I think it is hard to get away from groupthink (among Jewish neo-cons) as part of the disaster and that groupthink would include seeing no difference between US and Israeli interests in what it took, in missionary spirit, to sort out the undemocratic ME. Think of the way Australians and New Zealanders lined up to fight for the British Empire from the Boer War (and earlier) to WW2. Not exactly analagous but near enough.

    I don't understand the Trump opposition to the Iran deal. Do you?

    Wars tend to advance military careers so it is a bit worrying that Trump seems to love generals in such an unbalanced way.

    PG may ne a bit overboard in his suggestion (if I rightly infer it) that the neocons who seized the opportunity after 9/11 to grab the agenda for their own uniquely thought out agenda did so for Israel rather than America but is it possible to ignore the less highminded control of US politicians by AIPAC and similar lobby groups supported ny the money of people like Sheldon Adeldon? (A politician whose domestic policy positions have been bought by four or five domestic lobby groups is surely not going to leave his ME policy unsold).

    As an actual American born US Citizen, it would be to the benefit of every American if we brought all our troops home and left the Middle East to what ever vulture wanted it. Other than the UK and Canada the US has no allies.

    And Australia though, as an Australian, I have been increasingly worried about US reliability for 20 years or so. Australia has been allied to the US in more wars than any other country. The only upgrade is that Australians are no longer likely to be called “our Bulgarians” as they allegedly were by a US general in Vietnam.

  158. Curse the Romans for taking the Jews out of Israel and dispersing them all over Europe. The diaspora has been nothing but trouble for every country they’ve lived in for the past two thousand years. Even today many of these people simply cannot be loyal to whichever country they live in. Their loyalty is and always will be with their tribe. I said many because there are certainly exceptions. Not all Jews support Israel and many are as anti-war as they come.

    As millions of gentile youth went to Europe to fight Hitler and save their arses from the Nazis, the Jews overwhelming enrolled in colleges to avoid the draft. Once the war is over they’ve become the most well educated and were in perfect position to take over the media, academia, Wall Street, Hollywood, Capitol Hill, the judiciary, and now the latest conquest, Silicon Valley.

    Instead of some much needed introspection on why Hitler came to power, Jews hide behind the convenient label of “anti-semitism” and did everything they could to wrest power from the WASPs and actively bring the entire west to ruins through mass immigration, endless foreign wars and financial manipulation. But they’re getting a little ahead of themselves with this open borders madness. As Europe and America become more Muslim, it’ll also become more anti-semitic. In the end they might just be signing their own death warrant with what they promote.

    I didn't say there weren't any Jews pushing for a war with Iran, I said there are plenty of non-Jews pushing for one too, including Trump himself. Hostility toward Iran (and imperialism generally) is deeply rooted in the American foreign policy establishment (which isn't close to being all or mostly Jewish), and can't be explained by naive WASPs being manipulated by clever Jews. It's not just bigoted, it's a cartoonishly stupid "explanation".

    Of course, the Israel Lobby is much bigger than just jews, and stupid American Christians manipulated by their church leaders into believing fatuous ideas about Israel based upon dubiously interpreted biblical nonsense has historically provided a lot of its political clout.
     
    That's slightly better than the 1-dimensional Joo-paranoia, but it doesn't begin to describe the problem. You'd be on the right track if you started paying attention to the central American goal since 1945 of keeping Middle Eastern oil in the hands of obedient governments within the American orbit, so it can serve as a non-Russian/non-Soviet, American-controlled source of energy for American allies (and economic competitors) in Europe and Japan.

    Harsh criticism of AIPAC and related organizations for their substantial negative influence in the places where it does exist (like US promotion of Israeli settlement policy, which serves no immediate American interest), is appropriate and highly welcome. Claiming that "America's Jews are Driving America's Wars" is not, because (a) it isn't true, (b) it's bigoted, (c) it makes you look cranky and turns a lot of people off.

    It's only the best weapon in the imperialist countries. In the targeted countries like Iran and North Korea, the best weapons (at least in the short term) are things like rockets, missiles, and hydrogen bombs (all of these are meant as deterrents, of course). I'm not entirely a hippy.

    There is no mystery here. Zilch. Culture follows itself, rather like a tree follows its life pattern.

    WASP culture was born from the Reformation.Specifically, it was born of Anglo-Saxon Puritanism, which was a Judaizing heresy. Judaizing heresy necessarily produces culture that is pro-Semitic. That is true of even the earliest WASPs. Thomas Cromwell allied with Jews, inviting them back into England, because that made sense according to the theology that drove him and the entire Puritan Revolution.

    By the beginning of the Victorian era, virtually 100% of the British Empire's WASP Elites were rathr hardcore pro-Semitic. A majority of them were pro-Jewish, in a secular way that would have seemed wrong to 'orthodox' Puritans but actually was the inevitable child of that movement and its driving doctrines and passions. The rest of the pro-Semitic WASP Elites of the Victorian era were pro-Arabic and pro-Islamic (a few of those pro-Moslems were either pro-Iranian or pro-Turkish, but most were pro-Arabic).

    Out of that divide would come two things: the Balfour Declaration, and thus the eventual creation of the nation of Israel, and the Brits backing the House of Saud and thus necessarily Wahhabi Islam.

    The pro-Semitic nature of WASP (Elite) culture guaranteed - because nobody was powerful enough to stop WASP culture from creating them - both Israel and Saudi Arabia.

    And look what we have today: the successor to the British Empire, the USA, backing both Israel and Saudi Arabia as they do endless mischief, more than a bit of it evil.

    WASP culture created both Israel and the power of the Saudis. WASP cultural Elites are anything but innocent victims of Jewish and Saudi manipulations.

    Thoughtful post.

    Makes sense.

    I just think that the belief, which resulted in collusion now got into phase where ‘minority group’ simply DIRECT the way.

    They are good, know what they want, control two important levers of power (finance and media) and simply go for what they want.

    So, yes, collusion definitely, but which group holds primacy in defining strategic goals is open to debate.

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    Trump is not an independent unfettered player. Your statement is a lie — the truth is that Trump lives in a Jew centric world where he is surround by Jewish interests.

    His grandchildren are Jews. His money is entwined with Jews. His administration is staffed with Jews. His generals are also not impartial and independent – they are all Deep State players who willingly fight Israel’s battles. If they did not – they would have been purged long ago.

    Dual loyalty is an avoided and career-ending subject for a couple reasons. One must never, ever, criticize Jews (a third rail at complete odds with) and one may not criticize immigrants' behavior. The obvious problem is Treason. Just how much Treason is the result of so-called "dual loyalty"?

    And isn't Treason subject to some rather serious legal sanctions? Why aren't we hanging Traitors instead of quietly flying them back to Israel or wherever?

    Ultimately the reason is that Jews are Holy objects to Christians. Christians worship Yeshua (a Jew) and his putative father-god YHWH. It really is that simple. America has enough Evangelicals alone to ensure the course never deviates and will fulfill their sacred prophesies. Jews run media? So what? Jews run RELIGION in America - both the communist bureaucratic State diversity cult as well as Christianity (Yeshuanity). It's awfully hard to condemn Jews when one worships them.

    It’s awfully hard to condemn Jews when one worships them.

    We still remember our response when the Holy Trinity was first explained to us. We were astounded how fucked up this whole thing is. So G-d is Jesus’ father, but they are also one and the same? How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then… who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that’s who. Yeah, we just don’t get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn’t that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d’s spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

    Ignoring what we could say about your religion's weirdness, and how easily Christian symbolism is explained, your "monotheism" is nothing to be proud of and especially in this comments section.

    Monotheism is an analogy for World government. All relatively modern (within the past 5000 years or so for civilized tribes) concepts of god are analogies for Kingship or rulership.

    God began from the concept of the tribal hero or leader, who evolved into an ethnic King either in reality or later myth, and then we had deified ancestor Kings as gods.

    Later, when tribes had the opportunity to spread empire and rule other tribes, the deified ancestor king concept was unhitched from its tribal roots and the non-anthropomorphic and unknowable "sky god" was imagined so that the different tribes could believe in the same god without ethnic conflict. This much is even well explained on Wikipedia, if you know where to read.

    Your god is fake, and not even legitimate insofar as religious anthropology is concerned. Most deifiied ancestor kings turned sky god would still have a racial connotation. Your sky god supposedly is one that originated from a mixed race tribe, which is laughable if there is supposed to be any notion of true spirituality linked to your god. That original spirituality, apart from any political imperialism, being inextricably linked to racial Kings, Heroes, and ancestors.

    It doesn't matter how much "weird" Kabbalah you invent to place yourselves at the foot of your World King, this phantasm is just that. Most people take medication for schizophrenia.

    I can see ancestor veneration as a form of spirituality, because there are at least genes connecting the prayerful person to the deceased. But to worship a politically invented "unknowable" being in the hope that the world will do the same has to be a form of mental illness. If not mental illness, then its pure imperialism.

    Last, let's get real. You don't actually worship a god, but the Sabbath; which is the result of your hopes for world imperialism that will have the rest of the world working while you do not. A master-slave relationship, yes?

    Now if you could only get gentiles to always at least carry something in their pockets on Saturdays to represent work and so the Sabbath is not desecrated, while you wait for every Jew to eschew work two Saturdays in a row to mark the arrival of your world empire.

    The Christian god is a mega universal god seeking peace for all --- not a puny tiny, one tribe god – a god that exhibits himself in Israel, a nation of haters and terrorists.

    Our Christian god is hopeful and merciful seeking peace for all of humanity. The Jew god favors one tribe. The Christian god is moving humanity to peace – the Jew god to division, hate, chaos and war.

    The Jew god exhibits himself in Israel. He champions apartheid, summery killing, torture, detention without trial, squatting, gross unfair internal wars against defenseless people, and endless waring attacks on its neighbors. "By deception it makes war."

    Clearly the pip squeak tribal Jew god is immoral and inferior.

    Why is monotheism inherently better than polytheism? Is it more or less likely to be true based on our current understanding of our universe? Part of the reason I think Yeshuanity and Mohamsterism are so screwed up is that they are both alien mythologies overlaid upon existing native mythologies - so solstices become Yeshuan holy days etc. Catholics hold some bizarre rituals like the cannibalistic eating the body of Yeshua but at least they built some interesting temples.

    In fact, the reality is that Giraldi might be guilty of, at most, overstatement, but since a large part of the problem is precisely that any reference at all to the problem is suppressed, one might expect an honest opponent of the US’s military interventionism to temper his criticism of Giraldi’s piece appropriately.
     
    "overstatement" the word, if applied, would be an understatement. As I wrote in #59, PG has been at it since at least 2005. The refrain has only increased in targeting Jews, to the point where today it is almost the solitary factor. Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won't call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.

    The United States, like all great powers, has in her history an unbroken record of wars preceding the rise of Neocons [not interchangeable with Jews]. That Jews in leadership positions have contributed to foreign policy [here in the U.S., as they did for various HMGs] is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must've seen it here. No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.

    I am ethnically Chinese and I am the first to hit out at flaws in the Chinese culture. Mainland Chinese are the most atrocious and corrupt bunch today and the US would do well to deter more of this group from immigrating here today. My loyalty is to the United States, not to China or “my tribe”. F the tribe.

    If the Jews were more introspective and self-critical rather than always hiding behind charges of anti-semitism to deflect any and all blames so they don’t have to change their behavior, perhaps they wouldn’t be so unpopular today.

    Jews are white.

    That’s false, in any discerning context.

    “White” implies a lack of detectable sub-saharan African and Arab genes if we are speaking about any tribe from Europe, the ME, or Africa. Racial Jews have both.

    The statement that “Jews are White” is not only false insofar as they are concerned, but is also an implication that other Whites can have African genes but remain as White as Whites without them.

    Jews are obsessed with outrunning their race-mixing shame, or in other words with outrunning the African gene, which is a large motivator behind their equality politics. They are essentially a race mixed tribe who couldn’t deal with:

    1. what they did in a race mixing context
    2. what they did as justification for further race mixing or extinction
    3. the spiritual (as per God’s biblical edicts) implications of their race mixing
    4. and the practical (HBD) ramifications of their race mixing.

    So, in essence, we have a tribe who has long resigned themselves to creating a world wherein there is no better tribe than their race mixed tribe, where their race mixed tribe is somehow looked upon as god’s tribe, and in which they survive as an inbred race mixed tribe.

    They can never outrun their gene, and will always be sore about that fact. Everytime that you see a “Jew Fro”, be reminded of their gene, what they claim about themselves, and their motivations.

    That god’s tribe is a race-mixed tribe is a ridiculous notion. God, as a concept, is both nature and a racial King (both concepts can be readily proven in historical religious studies – the “unknowable” god that Jews currently present to outsiders is a parallel to the mesopotamian AN, and other non-anthropomorphic sky god’s that always come into existence when a tribe wants to rule multiple other tribes and therefore needs to depart from the racial King concept).

    Most race mixed tribe’s would come to the conclusion that either continued race mixing or fading into the good night would be reasonable outcomes for them. However, with this tribe we have a refusal to concede to their past sin and thus a demand for all other pure tribes to be destroyed so that they may thrive and rule.

    Ashkenazi Jews are mostly of European descent. They may have a drop of Arab or African blood, but so do Southern Europeans, and Northern/Eastern Europeans have some Asian blood.

    Also curly hair is not evidence of being black. Europeans can have "fros" too -- like Steven Moffat, a Scottish guy.

    In fact, the reality is that Giraldi might be guilty of, at most, overstatement, but since a large part of the problem is precisely that any reference at all to the problem is suppressed, one might expect an honest opponent of the US’s military interventionism to temper his criticism of Giraldi’s piece appropriately.
     
    "overstatement" the word, if applied, would be an understatement. As I wrote in #59, PG has been at it since at least 2005. The refrain has only increased in targeting Jews, to the point where today it is almost the solitary factor. Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won't call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.

    The United States, like all great powers, has in her history an unbroken record of wars preceding the rise of Neocons [not interchangeable with Jews]. That Jews in leadership positions have contributed to foreign policy [here in the U.S., as they did for various HMGs] is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must've seen it here. No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.

    As I wrote in #59, PG has been at it since at least 2005.

    Indeed, and the Iraq War occurred in 2003.

    Haaretz wrote in that year:

    In the course of the past year, a new belief has emerged in the town: the belief in war against Iraq. That ardent faith was disseminated by a small group of 25 or 30 neoconservatives, almost all of them Jewish, almost all of them intellectuals (a partial list: Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, William Kristol, Eliot Abrams, Charles Krauthammer), people who are mutual friends and cultivate one another and are convinced that political ideas are a major driving force of history.

    That paragraph is not incorrect, even if it is not the full story.

    Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won’t call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.

    Can you not conceive that the undoubted “prominent representation” (at least) in the area of foreign policy, and the evident tilt of that foreign policy towards wars that appear to be in the interests of Israel (or at any rate the interests of Israel as they are seen by those prominent representatives), could create a justified concern in a reasonable opponent of US military interventionism that US policy in that area is being pushed in the wrong direction by a powerful group whose loyalties are at least conflicted?

    Can you not accept that dual loyalty could ever be a legitimate concern for those who don’t like the way US policy is pushed by the “prominent representation” you are prepared to admit to?

    Can you not accept that “dual loyalty” is a perfectly legitimate suspicion to raise against anyone with clear nationalist or religious ties to a foreign country?

    That Jews in leadership positions have contributed to foreign policy [here in the U.S., as they did for various HMGs] is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must’ve seen it here.

    Indeed, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the case Giraldi makes here, except to the extent that you speculate that it is motivation for presenting it.

    In that sense, it is mere ad hominem.

    No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.

    I can conceive it and indeed concede it, that Kristol & Co were influential. A president's policy is ultimately his own and various interests always seek to align themselves with it, perhaps gaining in other sundry concerns. But the recent wars had many promoters, GWB, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice to name a few. I am deeply sceptical of the notion that these wars were conceived on Israel's behalf. I am further amused, if not troubled, by this idea that Jews in this country are steadfast in their support of Israel as a monolithic bloc. You'd be hard-pressed to find a group more given to argument and disagreement. But, as in Britain, to call into question loyalties of U.S. Jews, would be to give succour to a favourite falsehood of the fringe. American Jews no more support the state of Israel than do the gentile citizenry.

    I do not mean to say that all U.S. wars were the fruit of clear-headed thinking, indeed some weren't, but I am yet to be presented with a roster of such, waged by other great powers, never in question, never in fault nor folly.

    Indeed, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the case Giraldi makes here, except to the extent that you speculate that it is motivation for presenting it.
     
    Quite so in the case of this particular piece. And I meant more the commentaries which inevitably call as home, Giraldi's corner.

    Further, I must say the lines demarcating his various articles do get blurred in my view, each vying to outdo the previous in its single-minded reviling of a certain group. In those articles, should you feel disposed to search, you will find that infernal idea of which I speak.

    Randal, simplicity tends to produce the correct answers. One might disagree with American policy; Neocon policy; or those of Zionism; or those of the Mafia. Let's not call them Jewish or Italian conspiracies, shall we?

    Most astute people are familiar with the term "dynamic silence." This is what happens to people who speak too much about Jewish power, as Giraldi referred to in the first paragraph. We've all heard the line "you'll never work in this town again" that lots of actors and others in showbiz are familiar with. Now where and from whom did this line of thinking originate? Hollywood and the Jews whose tight fraternity rule it and always have.

    Justin Raimondo and faux left winger Amy Goodman of TV's "Democracy Now" share one very curious thing in common. They both become absolutely apoplectic at the mere mention of Gilad Atzmon's name. Atzmon is the devil incarnate to both of them, absolutely enemy number one.

    I have seen Raimondo go almost insane when an audience member at one of his speeches simply mentioned Atzmon's name. Raimondo literally became babbling and incoherent for about ten seconds seconds until he was able to recover.

    For those that are unfamiliar with Gilad Atzmon, check him out here.

    Raimondo and his site Antiwar.com and Matt Drudge also are increasingly sharing something else in common. The articles they link to on their web pages are now often coming off absolutely unreliable, rabidly pro Israel sites like the Rothschild family owned Associated Press and Reuters pages.

    Gilad to these people is like showing the cross to the devil :-)

    Wow, Phil, you hit another one right out of the ball park!

    The creation of a Jewish state in the middle of the Arab-Islamic world was pure insanity, both for the Jews and the United States, our “ally” as our bane. The creation of Israel was opposed by George Marshall, Dean Acheson, Dean Rusk, and others I’m sure (I’m hardly an expert on the matter). They knew what would happen, generally if not specifically: wars, terrorism, involving not only Israel but also the U.S. and it’s allies. Though I’m sure they didn’t envision 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and much else, nor what will occur henceforth: the bombing and invasion and occupation of Iran?

    “What gives” is that I think lunatic screeds about “America’s Jews” (like Noam Chomsky?) manipulating foreign policy do damage to the anti-war cause.
     
    So you prefer to ignore the problem Giraldi highlights for ideological reasons?

    Fair enough I suppose, but I reserve the right to point out the self-fulfilling nature of your objections to discussing that particular aspect of reality. You kowtow to an elite-imposed taboo that protects what is, at the least, one of the strongest pro-war lobbies from criticism, and thereby reinforce that taboo.

    Your choice, I suppose, but your hysterical accusations against Giraldi remain both hysterical and based in your ideological dogma rather than in reality.

    I think solidarity and internationalism are the best weapons against militarism and imperialism.
     
    Ok. Personally, I'm not a hippy so I tend to regard such drippy idealism as naïve nonsense. Especially as "solidarity and internationalism", far from being weapons against militarism, have in fact been dogmas used precisely to drive ahead one of the major strands of military interventionism, namely "R2P" and all the rest of the "humanitarian" interventionist nonsense.

    Dream on, though. At least you can feel good about your own virtuous opposition to badwhite thinking whilst you ineffectually flap against the next war.

    That’s slightly better than the 1-dimensional Joo-paranoia, but it doesn’t begin to describe the problem. You’d be on the right track if you started paying attention to the central American goal since 1945 of keeping Middle Eastern oil in the hands of obedient governments within the American orbit, so it can serve as a non-Russian/non-Soviet, American-controlled source of energy for American allies (and economic competitors) in Europe and Japan.
     
    Again, you try to reinforce your own desperate attempt to avoid recognising a real problem that you find ideologically difficult to acknowledge by waving your hands about other aspects of the problem.

    Harsh criticism of AIPAC and related organizations for their substantial negative influence in the places where it does exist (like US promotion of Israeli settlement policy, which serves no immediate American interest), is appropriate and highly welcome. Claiming that “America’s Jews are Driving America’s Wars” is not, because (a) it isn’t true, (b) it’s bigoted, (c) it makes you look cranky and turns a lot of people off. Proposing to label people on TV by ethnicity (Kristol isn’t repellent because he’s Jewish) is similarly obnoxious.

    Ok. Personally, I’m not a hippy so I tend to regard such drippy idealism as naïve nonsense.

    It’s only the best weapon in the imperialist countries. In the targeted countries like Iran and North Korea, the best weapons (at least in the short term) are things like rockets, missiles, and hydrogen bombs (all of these are meant as deterrents, of course). I’m not entirely a hippy.

    Especially as “solidarity and internationalism”, far from being weapons against militarism, have in fact been dogmas used precisely to drive ahead one of the major strands of military interventionism, namely “R2P” and all the rest of the “humanitarian” interventionist nonsense.

    A colonial ideology like “R2P” isn’t an example of solidarity and internationalism anymore than its 19th century predecessors like “The White Man’s Burden” were.

    Again, you try to reinforce your own desperate attempt to avoid recognising a real problem that you find ideologically difficult to acknowledge by waving your hands about other aspects of the problem.

    Here, you are asking us to, for a moment, believe that Judaism isn't a political program. It absolutely is. Therefore, it isn't unreasonable to mention Jewishness in light of a Jew's political commentary.

    You may be tempted to make the point that not all Jews believe in the political program, which I would then retort with pointing out that in fact Kristol does. He's as politically Jewish as it comes.

    I'd relent to your point for Jews who denounce Judaism. No others.
    , @Randal

    Claiming that “America’s Jews are Driving America’s Wars” is not, because (a) it isn’t true
     
    Clearly it is true, as Giraldi has demonstrated it by naming high profile and highly influential individuals involved in the driving, and you have not effectively contested his point. All you have done is point to other issues that you feel are more important in that driving. That's fine as far as it goes, but it isn't a refutation.

    , (b) it’s bigoted,
     
    Again, this is your ideological dogma speaking and it has no relation to reality. Declaring it as "bigoted" merely because it offends your antiracist ideology is particularly absurd since Giraldi has adduced evidence to support his case whereas you have merely declared it anathema on principle. You should ponder who is the bigot here (clue - it isn't Giraldi).


    (c) it makes you look cranky and turns a lot of people off.
     
    Again, you merely kowtow to the taboo that is one of the strongest weapons in the US militarist armoury. Taboos (political ones that are imposed in order to protect elites and their dogmas from attack) should be smashed, not meekly worshipped.

    Proposing to label people on TV by ethnicity (Kristol isn’t repellent because he’s Jewish) is similarly obnoxious.
     
    The proposal (tongue in cheek, of course, because of the inherent absurdity of expecting the US media of all groups to do any such thing) is to highlight the potential nationalist bias of a supposed expert on foreign policy who is presumably expounding the supposed benefits of a policy that just happens to benefit (as they see it) the country they feel loyalty to. Doesn't seem particularly unreasonable when you put it that way.

    A colonial ideology like “R2P” isn’t an example of solidarity and internationalism anymore than its 19th century predecessors like “The White Man’s Burden” were.
     
    Just like all those "drawbacks" of communist regimes around the world didn't justify criticism of communism, because they "weren't real communism". I'm afraid R2P and "humanitarian" intervention are absolutely the very essence of "internationalism" and "solidarity". You just don't want to admit it because it calls your faith into question.

    It’s the dominant problem (or one of them). That ought to force a shift in priorities.
     
    That's your opinion. I think the quote from Haaretz linked in post 21 above better reflects the reality of the invasion of Iraq, at least - probably the single worst (most costly and most egregiously illegal and immoral) example of military interventionism in recent years:

    "The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history. "

    But presumably Haaretz's writer was just another unhinged bigot, in your view.

    I think you are ignoring that Haaretz article cited by Greg Bacon. I have to say I found it a bit shocking. I recall a Jewish editor friend who had been US correspondent for a major newspaper responding in 2003 to statements about the Jewishness of neo-cons noting that Rumsfeld and Cheney weren’t Jewish. I think it is hard to get away from groupthink (among Jewish neo-cons) as part of the disaster and that groupthink would include seeing no difference between US and Israeli interests in what it took, in missionary spirit, to sort out the undemocratic ME. Think of the way Australians and New Zealanders lined up to fight for the British Empire from the Boer War (and earlier) to WW2. Not exactly analagous but near enough.

    I don’t understand the Trump opposition to the Iran deal. Do you?

    Wars tend to advance military careers so it is a bit worrying that Trump seems to love generals in such an unbalanced way.

    PG may ne a bit overboard in his suggestion (if I rightly infer it) that the neocons who seized the opportunity after 9/11 to grab the agenda for their own uniquely thought out agenda did so for Israel rather than America but is it possible to ignore the less highminded control of US politicians by AIPAC and similar lobby groups supported ny the money of people like Sheldon Adeldon? (A politician whose domestic policy positions have been bought by four or five domestic lobby groups is surely not going to leave his ME policy unsold).

How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then... who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that's who. Yeah, we just don't get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn't that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d's spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.
     
    Trump is not an independent unfettered player. Your statement is a lie --- the truth is that Trump lives in a Jew centric world where he is surround by Jewish interests.

    His grandchildren are Jews. His money is entwined with Jews. His administration is staffed with Jews. His generals are also not impartial and independent – they are all Deep State players who willingly fight Israel’s battles. If they did not – they would have been purged long ago.

    The whole trust of your comment is a lie – it is a ruse. Many may be Gentile – but they are not free and independent. There are NO unconstrained independent Gentile people in the US elite establishment – they all answer to the Jews agenda. Name one – name ten – name a hundred people who openly oppose the Jew scheme.

    Those people live in terror of the Jews. They will all mouth the victim status of the Jews.

    For what it is worth – Trump would do what is necessary to get rid of ISIS – but that he is not interest in more big wars.

    Trump is a builder of buildings – it is not in his DNA to destroy things.

     

    I am a Christian and therefor I am hopeful. I was hopeful then and I am hopeful now. No question but that Trump is negatively influenced by his Jew connections. He very well may stupidly kill the Iran nuke treaty, but that does not mean war. Until NKorea is settled, no war is going to happen with Iran.

    "America's Jews" reads, to me, like it refers to all Jews in America. At the very least, using the phrase indicates that one tends to see the differences among such a large group of people as unimportant enough to justify viewing them as a monolith rather than a diverse group of human beings who display wide variation in beliefs and behavior. I'd call that bigotry. If Giraldi would like to clarify, he's free to do so.

    It probably comes in part from a bigoted view of Islam and Muslims, one that collapses even such coarse-grained distinctions as the Sunni-Shia split, which makes him incapable of recognizing that the threat from "radical Islamic terror" comes overwhelmingly from Sunni jihadists, and essentially not at all from Shia. Resentment over the 1979 hostage crisis probably also plays a role. He no doubt remembers it, as it was on TV at the time quite a bit.

    As for why Iran is so hated among other influential actors, the fact that it is an independent country that sits on a large amount of oil is no doubt the predominant factor. Veteran military and intelligence guys are no doubt still seething over losing such an important American ally as the Shah (same reason they hated Castro so much). The memory of the hostage crisis exacerbates this, as it probably does with Trump himself. And yes, the fact that Iran supplies Hezbollah, the major deterrent to Israeli aggression and colonialism, plays a role as well.

    Good point - missed that one. Disappointing to have done so, since it's such a common feature of the spurious antiracist critique.

    Still, it would be good to know where Trump’s anti-Iran views come from.
     
    Do normal American views in an American Presidential candidate particularly require explaining? In Trump's case they go back to before his candidacy, so it's not just a result of the preponderance of anti-Iranian zealots around him now.

    As for how all the obsessively dishonest and irrational nonsense about Iran came to be mainstream in the US, I have in the past suggested the following as explaining the situation:

    1. Undue political and media influence from Iran's regional rivals, Israel and Saudi Arabia, whose interests a paranoid US fear of Iran clearly serves;

    2. Lingering soreness about the US getting some much-deserved payback from Iranians at the time of the hostage crisis, for decades of bloody interference in Iranian affairs;

    3. Simple outrage at the sight of a medium sized developing country daring not to breathlessly ask "how high, sir?", when told to jump by Washington.

    [To 2 can be added soreness about other occasions when the US has received some kickback against its own military aggression from Iran or Iran's allies, such as Lebanon, Iraq and most recently Syria.]

    Also, one can look for people in Trump's family and close associates who are members of or have affiliations to the groups that have the strongest reasons to badmouth Iran - Israelis, jews who identify as pro-Israel, Saudis, sunni muslims in general.

    I don't think there's any great mystery there.

    It’s awfully hard to condemn Jews when one worships them.
     
    And, this is how they view one essential element of your faith... those f-cking ingrates;

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we're a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    We still remember our response when the Holy Trinity was first explained to us. We were astounded how fucked up this whole thing is. So G-d is Jesus' father, but they are also one and the same? How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then... who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that's who. Yeah, we just don't get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn't that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d's spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

    [this part too sick to paste here]

    Sorry, Christians. It's all poppycock to us.

    Ignoring what we could say about your religion’s weirdness, and how easily Christian symbolism is explained, your “monotheism” is nothing to be proud of and especially in this comments section.

    Monotheism is an analogy for World government. All relatively modern (within the past 5000 years or so for civilized tribes) concepts of god are analogies for Kingship or rulership.

    God began from the concept of the tribal hero or leader, who evolved into an ethnic King either in reality or later myth, and then we had deified ancestor Kings as gods.

    Later, when tribes had the opportunity to spread empire and rule other tribes, the deified ancestor king concept was unhitched from its tribal roots and the non-anthropomorphic and unknowable “sky god” was imagined so that the different tribes could believe in the same god without ethnic conflict. This much is even well explained on Wikipedia, if you know where to read.

    Your god is fake, and not even legitimate insofar as religious anthropology is concerned. Most deifiied ancestor kings turned sky god would still have a racial connotation. Your sky god supposedly is one that originated from a mixed race tribe, which is laughable if there is supposed to be any notion of true spirituality linked to your god. That original spirituality, apart from any political imperialism, being inextricably linked to racial Kings, Heroes, and ancestors.

    It doesn’t matter how much “weird” Kabbalah you invent to place yourselves at the foot of your World King, this phantasm is just that. Most people take medication for schizophrenia.

    I can see ancestor veneration as a form of spirituality, because there are at least genes connecting the prayerful person to the deceased. But to worship a politically invented “unknowable” being in the hope that the world will do the same has to be a form of mental illness. If not mental illness, then its pure imperialism.

    Last, let’s get real. You don’t actually worship a god, but the Sabbath; which is the result of your hopes for world imperialism that will have the rest of the world working while you do not. A master-slave relationship, yes?

    Now if you could only get gentiles to always at least carry something in their pockets on Saturdays to represent work and so the Sabbath is not desecrated, while you wait for every Jew to eschew work two Saturdays in a row to mark the arrival of your world empire.

    That's false, in any discerning context.

    "White" implies a lack of detectable sub-saharan African and Arab genes if we are speaking about any tribe from Europe, the ME, or Africa. Racial Jews have both.

    The statement that "Jews are White" is not only false insofar as they are concerned, but is also an implication that other Whites can have African genes but remain as White as Whites without them.

    Jews are obsessed with outrunning their race-mixing shame, or in other words with outrunning the African gene, which is a large motivator behind their equality politics. They are essentially a race mixed tribe who couldn't deal with:

    1. what they did in a race mixing context
    2. what they did as justification for further race mixing or extinction
    3. the spiritual (as per God's biblical edicts) implications of their race mixing
    4. and the practical (HBD) ramifications of their race mixing.

    So, in essence, we have a tribe who has long resigned themselves to creating a world wherein there is no better tribe than their race mixed tribe, where their race mixed tribe is somehow looked upon as god's tribe, and in which they survive as an inbred race mixed tribe.

    They can never outrun their gene, and will always be sore about that fact. Everytime that you see a "Jew Fro", be reminded of their gene, what they claim about themselves, and their motivations.

    That god's tribe is a race-mixed tribe is a ridiculous notion. God, as a concept, is both nature and a racial King (both concepts can be readily proven in historical religious studies - the "unknowable" god that Jews currently present to outsiders is a parallel to the mesopotamian AN, and other non-anthropomorphic sky god's that always come into existence when a tribe wants to rule multiple other tribes and therefore needs to depart from the racial King concept).

    Most race mixed tribe's would come to the conclusion that either continued race mixing or fading into the good night would be reasonable outcomes for them. However, with this tribe we have a refusal to concede to their past sin and thus a demand for all other pure tribes to be destroyed so that they may thrive and rule.

    The fact free wanking of a social isolate.

    Fair enough I suppose, but I reserve the right to point out the self-fulfilling nature of your objections to discussing that particular aspect of reality. You kowtow to an elite-imposed taboo that protects what is, at the least, one of the strongest pro-war lobbies from criticism, and thereby reinforce that taboo.
     
    Harsh criticism of AIPAC and related organizations for their substantial negative influence in the places where it does exist (like US promotion of Israeli settlement policy, which serves no immediate American interest), is appropriate and highly welcome. Claiming that "America's Jews are Driving America's Wars" is not, because (a) it isn't true, (b) it's bigoted, (c) it makes you look cranky and turns a lot of people off. Proposing to label people on TV by ethnicity (Kristol isn't repellent because he's Jewish) is similarly obnoxious.

    Ok. Personally, I’m not a hippy so I tend to regard such drippy idealism as naïve nonsense.
     
    It's only the best weapon in the imperialist countries. In the targeted countries like Iran and North Korea, the best weapons (at least in the short term) are things like rockets, missiles, and hydrogen bombs (all of these are meant as deterrents, of course). I'm not entirely a hippy.

    Especially as “solidarity and internationalism”, far from being weapons against militarism, have in fact been dogmas used precisely to drive ahead one of the major strands of military interventionism, namely “R2P” and all the rest of the “humanitarian” interventionist nonsense.
     
    A colonial ideology like "R2P" isn't an example of solidarity and internationalism anymore than its 19th century predecessors like "The White Man's Burden" were.

    Again, you try to reinforce your own desperate attempt to avoid recognising a real problem that you find ideologically difficult to acknowledge by waving your hands about other aspects of the problem.
     
    It's the dominant problem (or one of them). That ought to force a shift in priorities.

    Here, you are asking us to, for a moment, believe that Judaism isn’t a political program. It absolutely is. Therefore, it isn’t unreasonable to mention Jewishness in light of a Jew’s political commentary.

    You may be tempted to make the point that not all Jews believe in the political program, which I would then retort with pointing out that in fact Kristol does. He’s as politically Jewish as it comes.

    I’d relent to your point for Jews who denounce Judaism. No others.

    In fact, the reality is that Giraldi might be guilty of, at most, overstatement, but since a large part of the problem is precisely that any reference at all to the problem is suppressed, one might expect an honest opponent of the US’s military interventionism to temper his criticism of Giraldi’s piece appropriately.
     
    "overstatement" the word, if applied, would be an understatement. As I wrote in #59, PG has been at it since at least 2005. The refrain has only increased in targeting Jews, to the point where today it is almost the solitary factor. Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won't call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.

    The United States, like all great powers, has in her history an unbroken record of wars preceding the rise of Neocons [not interchangeable with Jews]. That Jews in leadership positions have contributed to foreign policy [here in the U.S., as they did for various HMGs] is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must've seen it here. No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.

    “Jews are prominently represented in all areas which required cognitive leadership.” Sam The Sham, comment # 156.

    Do you believe that anti-Aryanism is de facto wrong?

    The "messianic age" is a political program that the resurrection of the Davidic Monarchy is a part of. Getting the world to that Messianic time comprises the political actions to which I was referring.

    There are so many varieties of Orthodox Jew, even "hardcore variety", that it is impossible to make such sweeping statements. However, if a statement were to be made, I can tell you from lengthy first hand intimate experience that the majority are not anit-Zionist unless you are using anti-Zionism as a qualification for "hardcore".

    If that's the case, then most Orthodox Jews are not "hardcore". But you could fool me, because everything that they do in life is directed and defined by their Judaism, from clothing, to food, to Shabbos, to dating and marriage, to education, etc.

    For me, the biggest "things" to worry about are two (2).

    One is the crooked elite secular (non-Orthodox) American Jews who staunchly support perpetual US wars for the creation of Greater Israel.

    It comes from holding US embassy staff hostage for 400+ days in Tehran.

    Iranians had every right to expel the Embassy staff, but Iranian leadership screwed up big time by allowing the hot headed students to take and hold Americans hostage that long. The hurt was compounded by the failed rescue attempt disaster.

    Americans are non-vindictive and quite generous when victorious (e.g. Germany and Japan), but don't take defeat and humiliation very well (e.g. Viet Nam).

    Of course Americans, including Trump, only remember what was done to Americans, but conveniently forget that US&UK started it all when they overthrew the democratically elected Mosaddegh in 1953, installed the unelected Shah, trained SAVAK to torture Iranians for decades,.....and the rest is history, as they say.

    Nevertheless, even though they were the wronged party, Iranian should have sent the entire embassy staff to the airport first day, swept the embassy for anything useful, then raise it to the ground. Sort of like what they did to the two US patrol boats that 'accidentally' invaded Iranian territorial waters. The US sailors were treated well, were fed, then quickly released. Incident closed.

    Yet, in a classic, paradox-tinged pro-Israel loop-back, the 'alt-Right' and 'white nationalist' movement, is increasing positive links with security-fence-building, also-ethnic-nationalist Israel:


    US alt-right leader, Richard Spencer, appeared on Israeli TV last month to call himself a “white Zionist”

     

    The above from an interesting article by British activist and Nazareth, Palestine resident Jonathan Cook, speaking of how Israel's Netanyahu is making an alliance with even the anti-Semitic Western alt-right, with the instinct to show all other Jews that Israel is their only home & safe haven ... and hence the 'progressive' Jews should abandon any support for boycott of Israel or for Palestinian rights:


    The Israeli prime minister has repeatedly called on all Jews to come to Israel, claiming it as the only safe haven from an immutable global anti-semitism. And yet, Mr Netanyahu is also introducing a political test before he opens the door.

    Jews supporting a boycott of Israel are already barred. Now, liberal Jews and critics of the occupation like Mr Soros are increasingly not welcome either. Israel is rapidly redefining the extent of the sanctuary it offers – for Jewish supremacists only.

    For Mr Netanyahu may believe he has much to gain by abandoning liberal Jews to their fate, as the alt-right asserts its power in western capitals.

    The “white Zionists” are committed to making life ever harder for minorities in the West in a bid to be rid of them. Sooner or later, on Mr Netanyahu’s logic, liberal Jews will face a reckoning. They will have to accept that Israel’s ultra-nationalists were right all along, and that Israel is their only sanctuary.

    Guided by this cynical convergence of interests, Jewish and white supremacists are counting on a revival of anti-Semitism that will benefit them both.

Every time Trump or Nikki Haley says something nasty about Iran, you’ll get plenty of Breitbart commenters echoing their sentiment egging them on, you can tell by their inane comments many have no idea why they should hate Iran, other than Breitbart told them to.

    I have seen Breitbart described as a psyops operation using Cass Sunstein’s cognitive infiltration method. It infiltrated the alternative media in order to neutralize it, by injecting stale old establishment talking points (such as that Iran poses an “existential threat” to Israel) under right cover. Breitbart News, posing as part of the alt-Right, has thus repolarized audiences that were increasingly seeing through the bipartisan control that corporate-financial special interests hold over Western society. The frequent reference to Breitbart as alt-Right by the mainstream media closes the circle of deception: the MSM audience is left in no doubt that Breitbart is beyond the pale and can be safely ignored, while Breitbart’s immense crowd of dupes, reassured that they form part of a breakaway movement, remain trapped in their silo.

    Breitbart was a JINO, in name only. Actually more closely ethnically related to .. Steve Bannon and The Donald.

    He was adopted at three weeks old and raised Jewish but became agnostic. His biological parents had been Irish American. He said that his birth certificate indicated his biological father was a folk singer. His adoptive mother had converted to Judaism when marrying his adoptive father. - Liepedia
     
    Not even a real Jewish mother to love him. A convert. Oh dear how sad never mind.

Claiming that "America's Jews are Driving America's Wars" is not, because (a) it isn't true, (b) it's bigoted, (c) it makes you look cranky and turns a lot of people off. Proposing to label people on TV by ethnicity (Kristol isn't repellent because he's Jewish) is similarly obnoxious.

    Ok. Personally, I’m not a hippy so I tend to regard such drippy idealism as naïve nonsense.
     
    It's only the best weapon in the imperialist countries. In the targeted countries like Iran and North Korea, the best weapons (at least in the short term) are things like rockets, missiles, and hydrogen bombs (all of these are meant as deterrents, of course). I'm not entirely a hippy.

    Especially as “solidarity and internationalism”, far from being weapons against militarism, have in fact been dogmas used precisely to drive ahead one of the major strands of military interventionism, namely “R2P” and all the rest of the “humanitarian” interventionist nonsense.
     
    A colonial ideology like "R2P" isn't an example of solidarity and internationalism anymore than its 19th century predecessors like "The White Man's Burden" were.

    Again, you try to reinforce your own desperate attempt to avoid recognising a real problem that you find ideologically difficult to acknowledge by waving your hands about other aspects of the problem.
     
    It's the dominant problem (or one of them). That ought to force a shift in priorities.

    Claiming that “America’s Jews are Driving America’s Wars” is not, because (a) it isn’t true

    Clearly it is true, as Giraldi has demonstrated it by naming high profile and highly influential individuals involved in the driving, and you have not effectively contested his point. All you have done is point to other issues that you feel are more important in that driving. That’s fine as far as it goes, but it isn’t a refutation.

    , (b) it’s bigoted,

    Again, this is your ideological dogma speaking and it has no relation to reality. Declaring it as “bigoted” merely because it offends your antiracist ideology is particularly absurd since Giraldi has adduced evidence to support his case whereas you have merely declared it anathema on principle. You should ponder who is the bigot here (clue – it isn’t Giraldi).

    (c) it makes you look cranky and turns a lot of people off.

    Again, you merely kowtow to the taboo that is one of the strongest weapons in the US militarist armoury. Taboos (political ones that are imposed in order to protect elites and their dogmas from attack) should be smashed, not meekly worshipped.

    Proposing to label people on TV by ethnicity (Kristol isn’t repellent because he’s Jewish) is similarly obnoxious.

    The proposal (tongue in cheek, of course, because of the inherent absurdity of expecting the US media of all groups to do any such thing) is to highlight the potential nationalist bias of a supposed expert on foreign policy who is presumably expounding the supposed benefits of a policy that just happens to benefit (as they see it) the country they feel loyalty to. Doesn’t seem particularly unreasonable when you put it that way.

    A colonial ideology like “R2P” isn’t an example of solidarity and internationalism anymore than its 19th century predecessors like “The White Man’s Burden” were.

    Just like all those “drawbacks” of communist regimes around the world didn’t justify criticism of communism, because they “weren’t real communism”. I’m afraid R2P and “humanitarian” intervention are absolutely the very essence of “internationalism” and “solidarity”. You just don’t want to admit it because it calls your faith into question.

    It’s the dominant problem (or one of them). That ought to force a shift in priorities.

    That’s your opinion. I think the quote from Haaretz linked in post 21 above better reflects the reality of the invasion of Iraq, at least – probably the single worst (most costly and most egregiously illegal and immoral) example of military interventionism in recent years:

    The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history.

    But presumably Haaretz’s writer was just another unhinged bigot, in your view.

    Well, Orthodox Judaism does have a political program in the sense that it desires the resurrection of the Davidic monarchy in Palestine in the post-Messianic age. But that won't be for some time, I'm told, and besides, the most hardcore Orthodox Jews tend not to be Zionists, which is what you seem to be primarily worried about.

    The “messianic age” is a political program that the resurrection of the Davidic Monarchy is a part of. Getting the world to that Messianic time comprises the political actions to which I was referring.

    There are so many varieties of Orthodox Jew, even “hardcore variety”, that it is impossible to make such sweeping statements. However, if a statement were to be made, I can tell you from lengthy first hand intimate experience that the majority are not anit-Zionist unless you are using anti-Zionism as a qualification for “hardcore”.

    If that’s the case, then most Orthodox Jews are not “hardcore”. But you could fool me, because everything that they do in life is directed and defined by their Judaism, from clothing, to food, to Shabbos, to dating and marriage, to education, etc.

    When examined objectively the power that one very small ethnic group wields in this country is frightening and a direct threat to constitutional democracy. Jews are a little over one percent of the population, yet individual Jews, almost all Zionist and anti-Christian, exercise overwhelming control of the entertainment and news industries. Similar individual Jews have a nearly overwhelming presence in higher education, the legal system, the financial sector. Until recently such Jews formed a majority of the Supreme Court. Jews like Adelson, Saban and many others wield overwhelming financial control of the political system in this country. Others have formed innumerable open and covert organizations to promote Jewish interests, e.g., Soros, Dees, et al. There is no Elders of Zion but that this country is now essentially run by people, all drawn from this minority of Zionist, anti-Christian Jews, drawn in turn from a very small Jewish minority should be of concern to any rational citizen, Jew or non-Jew.

    When did the Supreme Court have a majority of Jews on it? Total BS of course and do easy to check that it marks you ďown as afflicted by the Rothschilds-Own-Evetything madness whoch means everything you say had to be treated even more sceptically than most comments.

    Your smokescreen notwithstanding, we're speaking of representation on the Court out of all proportion to their percentages in the population, no? Fair is fair. This is the body that's been real BIG on apportioned Affirmative Action, upholding EEOC regs, ethnic preference hiring, you name it. In terms of hiring, Blacks are a new Master Race. But I don't see representative proportion on the Supreme Court. Proportionate to their numbers in the population there should be a few Jewish legal interns at most..

    Good for the goose. This is what media, academia and the political classes ruled at the tip-top by folks of Jewish persuasion. Sorry, but I'll buy in when Palestinians have hiring preference in the Israeli government and economy. Oh, sorry, they can't even get in. I don't know why they don't take advantage of the pools of cheap labor from the West Bank, Gaza and so on? If it's good for us, why not them? They too create refugees..

    It comes from holding US embassy staff hostage for 400+ days in Tehran.

    Iranians had every right to expel the Embassy staff, but Iranian leadership screwed up big time by allowing the hot headed students to take and hold Americans hostage that long. The hurt was compounded by the failed rescue attempt disaster.

    Americans are non-vindictive and quite generous when victorious (e.g. Germany and Japan), but don’t take defeat and humiliation very well (e.g. Viet Nam).

    Of course Americans, including Trump, only remember what was done to Americans, but conveniently forget that US&UK started it all when they overthrew the democratically elected Mosaddegh in 1953, installed the unelected Shah, trained SAVAK to torture Iranians for decades,…..and the rest is history, as they say.

    Nevertheless, even though they were the wronged party, Iranian should have sent the entire embassy staff to the airport first day, swept the embassy for anything useful, then raise it to the ground. Sort of like what they did to the two US patrol boats that ‘accidentally’ invaded Iranian territorial waters. The US sailors were treated well, were fed, then quickly released. Incident closed.

    As you are probably aware, (although most Americans never heard of it) the US Embassy In Tehran and CIA staff) was used as a staging area for Mosaddegh's overthrow in 1953. Of course Iranians were well aware of their own history, which explains why they chose to hold US Embassy staff members as hostages. All The Shah's Men, by Steven Kinzer provides a detailed account of the above.

But the goyim who serve Israel are lower than snail slime on the scale of abased human depravities. Marco would eat the **** literally out of Sheldon Adelson's *** for a chance to be potus. Same for Jeb and all the other goyim feces feasters.

    it is because guys like Paul Ryan are utterly without a shred of human integrity or dignity that they've been anointed to serve the tribe.

    Good point – missed that one. Disappointing to have done so, since it’s such a common feature of the spurious antiracist critique.

    Still, it would be good to know where Trump’s anti-Iran views come from.

    Do normal American views in an American Presidential candidate particularly require explaining? In Trump’s case they go back to before his candidacy, so it’s not just a result of the preponderance of anti-Iranian zealots around him now.

    As for how all the obsessively dishonest and irrational nonsense about Iran came to be mainstream in the US, I have in the past suggested the following as explaining the situation:

    1. Undue political and media influence from Iran’s regional rivals, Israel and Saudi Arabia, whose interests a paranoid US fear of Iran clearly serves;

    2. Lingering soreness about the US getting some much-deserved payback from Iranians at the time of the hostage crisis, for decades of bloody interference in Iranian affairs;

    3. Simple outrage at the sight of a medium sized developing country daring not to breathlessly ask “how high, sir?”, when told to jump by Washington.

    [To 2 can be added soreness about other occasions when the US has received some kickback against its own military aggression from Iran or Iran's allies, such as Lebanon, Iraq and most recently Syria.]

    Also, one can look for people in Trump’s family and close associates who are members of or have affiliations to the groups that have the strongest reasons to badmouth Iran – Israelis, jews who identify as pro-Israel, Saudis, sunni muslims in general.

    I don’t think there’s any great mystery there.

    Much more.

    We "discussed" that in some other threads, and, of course, disagreed.

    Maybe we can call your version "moral".
    Mine could be called "cynical".

    But, again, since 1812, when one looks at US foreign policy, looks to me as leaning more towards "cynical" than "moral".

    So, in this case, Iran, I believe what really drives towards the war is US national interest.
    "Jewish/Zionist/Israel connection" is secondary there, just riding an opportunity.

  208. Giraldi is correct. There must be a situation whereby those with a personal [pro or con] relationship with any foreign country be recused from holding any policy position. Even those elected to serve in the Congress and vote for disbursement of taxes for any foreign country with which there is a family or ethnic relationship shall not be qualified to vote. Tax dollars must be objectively voted for the benefit of the interests of the U.S. This does not restrict first amendment rights or the selection of those elected. These restrictions shall apply to every U.S. citizen regardless of race or religion. U.S. tax dollars are currently awarded on the basis of those receiving campaign contributions which contributes to corruption. Furthermore, it denies U.S. citizens benefits from their own taxes.

    The entire news media is corrupt as well as Hollywood. Moreover, citizens must begin to sue in Federal courts when they can prove that a group, such as AIPAC or the ADL, is seeking punishment or actually instigated punishment because a U.S. citizen has exercised the right to freely object to serving the interests of any particular foreign country. If it is lawful and within our constitutional rights to criticize our own country, it is indeed lawful to criticize any country on this earth, Israel included!

Obviously, not all Jews in DC's and NYC's elite are driving us to war, and of course many non-Jews are. It remains incontrovertible, however, that a very active, powerful, organized, and influential minority of people, who identify as Jewish, are restless and effective Israel-firsters. They see dragging America into Israel's wars in the Middle East as furthering Israel's national security interest. Only a fool would deny the obscene amount of power the Zionist faction wields in the USA.

And now that anti-Russian sentiment has been hyped up and because Iran is becoming closer to Russia, it’s just that much easier to pull off the chest-thumping (no political downsides as you said).

Lincoln said: “No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent.”. This need to democratize the world is pre-neocon, neocons could only take advantage of it

    As I wrote in #59, PG has been at it since at least 2005.
     
    Indeed, and the Iraq War occurred in 2003.

    Haaretz wrote in that year:

    "In the course of the past year, a new belief has emerged in the town: the belief in war against Iraq. That ardent faith was disseminated by a small group of 25 or 30 neoconservatives, almost all of them Jewish, almost all of them intellectuals (a partial list: Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, William Kristol, Eliot Abrams, Charles Krauthammer), people who are mutual friends and cultivate one another and are convinced that political ideas are a major driving force of history."

    That paragraph is not incorrect, even if it is not the full story.

    Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won’t call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.
     
    Can you not conceive that the undoubted "prominent representation" (at least) in the area of foreign policy, and the evident tilt of that foreign policy towards wars that appear to be in the interests of Israel (or at any rate the interests of Israel as they are seen by those prominent representatives), could create a justified concern in a reasonable opponent of US military interventionism that US policy in that area is being pushed in the wrong direction by a powerful group whose loyalties are at least conflicted?

    Can you not accept that dual loyalty could ever be a legitimate concern for those who don't like the way US policy is pushed by the "prominent representation" you are prepared to admit to?

    Can you not accept that "dual loyalty" is a perfectly legitimate suspicion to raise against anyone with clear nationalist or religious ties to a foreign country?

    That Jews in leadership positions have contributed to foreign policy [here in the U.S., as they did for various HMGs] is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must’ve seen it here.
     
    Indeed, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the case Giraldi makes here, except to the extent that you speculate that it is motivation for presenting it.

    In that sense, it is mere ad hominem.

    No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.
     
    An assertion that has nothing to do with Giraldi's argument here.

    That paragraph is not incorrect, even if it is not the full story.

    I said as much. Krauthammer & Co were instrumental, but they were hardly the lead pieces in the orchestra.

    Can you not conceive that the undoubted “prominent representation” (at least) in the area of foreign policy, and the evident tilt of that foreign policy towards wars that appear to be in the interests of Israel (or at any rate the interests of Israel as they are seen by those prominent representatives), could create a justified concern in a reasonable opponent of US military interventionism that US policy in that area is being pushed in the wrong direction by a powerful group whose loyalties are at least conflicted?

    I can conceive it and indeed concede it, that Kristol & Co were influential. A president’s policy is ultimately his own and various interests always seek to align themselves with it, perhaps gaining in other sundry concerns. But the recent wars had many promoters, GWB, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice to name a few. I am deeply sceptical of the notion that these wars were conceived on Israel’s behalf. I am further amused, if not troubled, by this idea that Jews in this country are steadfast in their support of Israel as a monolithic bloc. You’d be hard-pressed to find a group more given to argument and disagreement. But, as in Britain, to call into question loyalties of U.S. Jews, would be to give succour to a favourite falsehood of the fringe. American Jews no more support the state of Israel than do the gentile citizenry.

    I do not mean to say that all U.S. wars were the fruit of clear-headed thinking, indeed some weren’t, but I am yet to be presented with a roster of such, waged by other great powers, never in question, never in fault nor folly.

    Indeed, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the case Giraldi makes here, except to the extent that you speculate that it is motivation for presenting it.

    Quite so in the case of this particular piece. And I meant more the commentaries which inevitably call as home, Giraldi’s corner.

    Further, I must say the lines demarcating his various articles do get blurred in my view, each vying to outdo the previous in its single-minded reviling of a certain group. In those articles, should you feel disposed to search, you will find that infernal idea of which I speak.

    Randal, simplicity tends to produce the correct answers. One might disagree with American policy; Neocon policy; or those of Zionism; or those of the Mafia. Let’s not call them Jewish or Italian conspiracies, shall we?

    @Randal

    I think Matt got off to a bad start with his rant against what he called a rant and now you have found him out waffling about solidarity and internationalism. You might also have pointed out unkindly his failure in basic logic as exemplified by the reference to Noam Chomsky as if PG eere saying that all Jews agreed.

     

    Good point - missed that one. Disappointing to have done so, since it's such a common feature of the spurious antiracist critique.

    Still, it would be good to know where Trump’s anti-Iran views come from.
     
    Do normal American views in an American Presidential candidate particularly require explaining? In Trump's case they go back to before his candidacy, so it's not just a result of the preponderance of anti-Iranian zealots around him now.

    As for how all the obsessively dishonest and irrational nonsense about Iran came to be mainstream in the US, I have in the past suggested the following as explaining the situation:

    1. Undue political and media influence from Iran's regional rivals, Israel and Saudi Arabia, whose interests a paranoid US fear of Iran clearly serves;

    2. Lingering soreness about the US getting some much-deserved payback from Iranians at the time of the hostage crisis, for decades of bloody interference in Iranian affairs;

    3. Simple outrage at the sight of a medium sized developing country daring not to breathlessly ask "how high, sir?", when told to jump by Washington.

    [To 2 can be added soreness about other occasions when the US has received some kickback against its own military aggression from Iran or Iran's allies, such as Lebanon, Iraq and most recently Syria.]

    Also, one can look for people in Trump's family and close associates who are members of or have affiliations to the groups that have the strongest reasons to badmouth Iran - Israelis, jews who identify as pro-Israel, Saudis, sunni muslims in general.

    I don't think there's any great mystery there.

    I don’t think there’s any great mystery there.

    Well, I think you are correct in all that but you stopped short of full explanation.

    There is more, IMHO, in (possible) war with Iran then above and Jewish/Zionist/Israel connection”.
    Much more.

    We “discussed” that in some other threads, and, of course, disagreed.

    Maybe we can call your version “moral”.
    Mine could be called “cynical”.

    But, again, since 1812, when one looks at US foreign policy, looks to me as leaning more towards “cynical” than “moral”.

    So, in this case, Iran, I believe what really drives towards the war is US national interest.
    “Jewish/Zionist/Israel connection” is secondary there, just riding an opportunity.

    [American Jews] have been very successful at faking the Iranian threat.
     
    If the Iranian threat against Israel is fake, why do the American Jews want to go to war against Iran?

    The Iranian threat against the US is fake but Israel keeps insisting that it is real, which is a lie. American Jews want to go to war on behalf of Israel because their fundamental loyalty is to Israel, not to the US. Does that describe you Mark?

    After looking into the matter, I see that, even though many past presidents and now Donald Trump have promised to defend Israel if attacked and to treat Israel as any other American ally, America has no formal defense treaty with Israel. It would seem that a president who guarantees the security of another nation without first negotiating a formal treaty that is ratified by the Senate is acting unconstitutionally and should be threatened with impeachment if he persists in the matter.

    It’s awfully hard to condemn Jews when one worships them.
     
    And, this is how they view one essential element of your faith... those f-cking ingrates;

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we're a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    We still remember our response when the Holy Trinity was first explained to us. We were astounded how fucked up this whole thing is. So G-d is Jesus' father, but they are also one and the same? How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then... who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that's who. Yeah, we just don't get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn't that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d's spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

    [this part too sick to paste here]

    Sorry, Christians. It's all poppycock to us.

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we’re a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    The Christian god is a mega universal god seeking peace for all — not a puny tiny, one tribe god – a god that exhibits himself in Israel, a nation of haters and terrorists.

    Our Christian god is hopeful and merciful seeking peace for all of humanity. The Jew god favors one tribe. The Christian god is moving humanity to peace – the Jew god to division, hate, chaos and war.

    The Jew god exhibits himself in Israel. He champions apartheid, summery killing, torture, detention without trial, squatting, gross unfair internal wars against defenseless people, and endless waring attacks on its neighbors. “By deception it makes war.”

    Clearly the pip squeak tribal Jew god is immoral and inferior.

    All this "Jews this" and "Jews that" just feels simply not quite right.

    Can't really put my finger on it, but reminds me of blaming tobacco companies executives/marketing/sales people for smoking induced health issues.
    Or, blaming food companies executives/marketing/sales people for being overweight.

    Feels......disingenuous.

    Jews rule media. Media is this/that.
    Fine....don't read/buy/watch/enjoy it.
    Or, more likely....I do like that, and I do know it's bad, but, I also do have that "Jews did it". No blame on myself. None.

    US itself was created by constant expansion, mostly by force of arms. Since its creation. Since The War of 1812.
    Blaming Jews for all that is just......not correct.

    Nobody disputes they are what they are.
    Cynic would say they are just better in that then other competitors in the same game.

    But, blaming post Cold War US foreign policy just on Jews is ...wrong.

    There is their portion of blame, of course.
    But, there is a lot to blame other players too.

    I guess that properly appointing the blame on all the players would be good.

    Maybe starting with some of core US values wouldn't be a bad idea?

    Clearly it is true, as Giraldi has demonstrated it by naming high profile and highly influential individuals involved in the driving, and you have not effectively contested his point. All you have done is point to other issues that you feel are more important in that driving. That’s fine as far as it goes, but it isn’t a refutation.

    “Drives” implies it’s the predominant factor. And anyway, Giraldi’s list doesn’t include a single person who is actually in the Trump administration. Most of the people (Frum, Boot, et al.) he lists are in fact harsh critics of Trump (for mostly bad reasons, imo), whose influence on his administration is doubtful. My list (Mattis, McMaster, etc.) was, on the other hand, entirely made up of people currently (or formerly, in the case of Flynn and Bannon), in the administration. Who do you think is more likely to be driving the push behind war?

    The top brass of the U.S. military is one of the prime factors behind confrontation with not only Iran, but Russia (even more dangerously). These guys have been prepping for the Big One since their days at West Point. And as anti-Semites love pointing out, the number of Jews in the military (and especially the top ranks) is negligible.

    Why is the Trump administration and Congress about to sell heavy weaponry to the junta in Ukraine, that has ties to anti-Semitic nationalists? Who is the more anti-Jewish party in that conflict, Ukraine or Russia? Putin has good relations with Israel and with Jewish (and non-Jewish) Russian oligarchs. If the Jews back Ukraine over Russia, they must be stupid. How is it then that they have so much influence?

    “The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history.”

    This (unlike “America’s Jews are Driving America’s Wars”) isn’t ipso facto anti-Semitic, but it’s a gross exaggeration. The main “drivers” of that war were Cheney and Rumsfeld, neither of whom were Jewish.

    How many Christians are not Zionists? They all worship the Jewish god YHWH. They all worship his putative son Yeshua. The majority believe ole Yeshua is coming back to fight off that evil old (and also Jewish) Satan. Furthermore, they believe this great title bout must occur in – yessiree – the “holy land” (i.e. Israel/Zion/Jerusalem).

    The irony here is perhaps the greatest. The Jew blaming is almost Stormfront level while the commenters pound their translated Hebrew books and whinge that the Jews are conspiring against them. They are far more brainwashed than any communist AntiFa type. “None are so blind as those who refuse to see” and all that. Worshipping some random Jewish bastard who became a handyman or some random desert cave dwelling Jew with vivid hallucinations is exactly the same as the Jews’ worship of a lunatic who talks to god from a mountaintop (or his LDS successor).

    Christianity is of course a historical offshoot of Judaism, but its central tenets have more in common with Islam than Judaism. (Ask which religion has a more favorable viewpoint of Christ.)

    Christian Zionism did not start until the late 19th century publication of the Scofield bible.
    Protestantism has always had a heretical standpoint on the jews.
    Catholic and Orthodox are NOT Zionist.

    In fact, please take a read of the Civilta Cattolica article I posted above and you will see that the church is intimately connected to resusting jewish power, as jewish power leads eventually to the rise of the antichrist.

    Also, search for John Chrysostom 'Against the Jews' to understand how Christianity and the Jews are absolutely opposites.

    Christian Zionism will likely morph into the religion of the antichrist, becoming THE most deadly heresy.

    Concerning gratitude towards the peoples who shelter them, the Israelites regard themselves as absolved, since they believe them to be usurpers. Just to the contrary, they use every sort of means in order to gain supremacy over them, of which they believe to have been assured by the Old Testament. The time they pass within the bosom of other people is for them, so to speak, a time of penance, punishment and exile; and the inhabitants of the countries harboring them pass for enemies which, as soon as the promised hour of universal Jewish dominion over the world will have come, are to be subjugated.

    Well, Orthodox Judaism does have a political program in the sense that it desires the resurrection of the Davidic monarchy in Palestine in the post-Messianic age. But that won't be for some time, I'm told, and besides, the most hardcore Orthodox Jews tend not to be Zionists, which is what you seem to be primarily worried about.

    I had emailed the following comment to a friend just a few hours ago. It seems germane, so I'm taking the liberty of just pasting it here, in the context of the Iran policy discussion :

    ---

    As you know I had high hopes of Trump, based mostly on my wishful thinking about his dog-whistles. Now I am mostly inclined to view him in terms appropriate to the sell-out to the Judaic world order detailed by Petras in his recent article on Who Rules America.

    The main serious person I know of who continues to harbour hopes about Trump's hidden agenda is Mark Glenn of The Ugly Truth.

    I had shared with you my opinion that the anti-Iran bluster was just that, given that Russia is Iran's strategic partner. But lately I concluded that it was probably just dangerous Judaic policy. A recent editorial essay in Rothschild's Economist has given me pause. The article strongly opposes taking on the nuclear pact with Iran. So what are the mega-Jews concerned about? Maybe Trump intends to lever Iran into nuclear status. Their leadership says that's what will happen. Trump, like Bannon with his absurd affirmations of allegiance to Judeo-Christian civilisation, might be loving the Jews to death. A nuclear armed Iran might very well be what humanity needs. And America as well. Just a thought.

    https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21728896-it-right-worry-about-irans-growing-influence-trump-administration-may-be-about

    I know this will not convince you. That's okay. It's just a possibility. But keep it tucked away in a recess of your head for future reference.

    ---

    If Iran gives every indication of proceeding with nuclear arming, once the US leaves it no alternative, it would require a nuclear umbrella until such time as it could defend itself. That might come from Russian or Chinese nukes under the rubric of SCO. Like American nukes in Turkey and Germany, these could be put at the disposal of the Iranis without violating the Non-Proliferarion Treaty, or at least no more than the American nukes under foreign control do.

    You plaster Beware of BS all over your comment by showing yourself afflicted with the Rothschilds-Own-Everything Disease. You really ought to be looking out for Keyser Sõze you know. The Agnelli interest in The Economist is the biggest one since the Pearson group sold out.

    You are confusing Big Israel+militarists with Jews.

    Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro explains the reasons why Orthodox Jews do not serve in the Israeli army
    http://www.truetorahjews.org/images/rabbishapirovideo.mp4

    Maybe Mr Unz could include some 'true' Jews amoung his commentators.

    There are also secular Jewish anti Zionists.

    Very interesting film and commentary.

    In fact, there are Orthodox who firmly support the state of Israel, including Orthodox who have immigrated to Israel.

    One comment that Rabbi Shapiro made was that the Israeli military didn’t need or want the Orthodox Yeshiva students. If true, the question or drafting Yeshiva students becomes a matter of internal Israeli policy, to be determined by the political process in Israel. If so, what can the effect of a rally in New York, USA be? Are the Orthodox trying to influence US pressure on Israel? Why should the government of Israel listen to New York Orthodox at all?

    As far as the internal politics of Israel, many of the people on this thread see Israel as the racist aggressor in the Middle East, pressuring the US to cause chaos and destruction in the area.

    I’m an American Firster, but I do support the existence of Israel. I think it’s the responsibility of Israel, and not the US to maintain the existence of Israel. I fully support the commenter who wanted to do away with dual ciizenship. A citizen can have only one primary loyalty. This extends to dual citizenship with Israel, Mexico, Iran, or Hungary (though I have much sympathy with Hungarian citizens).

    The government of Israel wants the character of Israel to be Jewish (although Rabbi Shapiro would argue, not TOO Jewish. That’s an internal Israeli affair, on which I wish to have no influence. In my opinion, any state that wishes to maintain its existence will have to pursue policies that could be termed as racist. Like, the US totally excluding Muslims from further immigration. Racist perhaps, and totally necessary. But, the US should not become involved in the internal affairs of other countries. And yes, that means stopping US foreign aid to Israel.

    As far as the 2003 attack on Iraq being a result of Jewish dual loyalists: it’s possible. But, if so, let me point out that whatever influence the Jewish neocons had on the Iraqi attack was the stupidest ever. In fact, Jewish popular opinion tends, in my opinion, to be extremely stupid and self-destructive. In 2003, there were at least two states in the Middle East very hostile to Israel: Iraq and Iran. Who was the biggest enemy of Iran: Iraq. So, was taking out Iraq as a country helpful to Israel? Now, Iran is no longer facing Iraq, which had the population, and is only facing Saudi Arabia, which has only money and mercenaries. Was Israel a net beneficiary? So, if the neocons were acting out of Israel’s interest and not the US’s, they were being extremely stupid. I do consider neocons to be stupid, but that’s the point.

    Looking at Jewish US popular opinion, Jews voted 70% for Obama and almost the same proportion for Hillary in 2016. Is it in the interest of US Jews to bring in more Muslims? More Muslims in Sweden and France have made parts of those countries unbearable for the Jews, who favored the open border policies. If you look on the websites of Jewish organizations in the US, you’ll see almost universal horror at the very mild travel exclusions of the Trump Presidency. Whatever Jewish influence there is, runs directly counter to the real interests of Jewish US citizens.

    Someone mentioned that Israel itself is instituting ideological tests for aliya, or Jewish immigration to Israel. I think this is a sensible policy for Israel. If Israel wishes to maintain its character, the immigrants should reflect the ideological and cultural identity of the current population. But, I wish to make that an internal policy of Israel through, at a minimum, ceasing foreign aid to Israel and doing away with dual citizenship.

    Claiming that “America’s Jews are Driving America’s Wars” is not, because (a) it isn’t true
     
    Clearly it is true, as Giraldi has demonstrated it by naming high profile and highly influential individuals involved in the driving, and you have not effectively contested his point. All you have done is point to other issues that you feel are more important in that driving. That's fine as far as it goes, but it isn't a refutation.

    , (b) it’s bigoted,
     
    Again, this is your ideological dogma speaking and it has no relation to reality. Declaring it as "bigoted" merely because it offends your antiracist ideology is particularly absurd since Giraldi has adduced evidence to support his case whereas you have merely declared it anathema on principle. You should ponder who is the bigot here (clue - it isn't Giraldi).


    (c) it makes you look cranky and turns a lot of people off.
     
    Again, you merely kowtow to the taboo that is one of the strongest weapons in the US militarist armoury. Taboos (political ones that are imposed in order to protect elites and their dogmas from attack) should be smashed, not meekly worshipped.

    Proposing to label people on TV by ethnicity (Kristol isn’t repellent because he’s Jewish) is similarly obnoxious.
     
    The proposal (tongue in cheek, of course, because of the inherent absurdity of expecting the US media of all groups to do any such thing) is to highlight the potential nationalist bias of a supposed expert on foreign policy who is presumably expounding the supposed benefits of a policy that just happens to benefit (as they see it) the country they feel loyalty to. Doesn't seem particularly unreasonable when you put it that way.

    A colonial ideology like “R2P” isn’t an example of solidarity and internationalism anymore than its 19th century predecessors like “The White Man’s Burden” were.
     
    Just like all those "drawbacks" of communist regimes around the world didn't justify criticism of communism, because they "weren't real communism". I'm afraid R2P and "humanitarian" intervention are absolutely the very essence of "internationalism" and "solidarity". You just don't want to admit it because it calls your faith into question.

    It’s the dominant problem (or one of them). That ought to force a shift in priorities.
     
    That's your opinion. I think the quote from Haaretz linked in post 21 above better reflects the reality of the invasion of Iraq, at least - probably the single worst (most costly and most egregiously illegal and immoral) example of military interventionism in recent years:

    "The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history. "

    But presumably Haaretz's writer was just another unhinged bigot, in your view.

    @Philip Giraldi
    The Iranian threat against the US is fake but Israel keeps insisting that it is real, which is a lie. American Jews want to go to war on behalf of Israel because their fundamental loyalty is to Israel, not to the US. Does that describe you Mark?

    After looking into the matter, I see that, even though many past presidents and now Donald Trump have promised to defend Israel if attacked and to treat Israel as any other American ally, America has no formal defense treaty with Israel. It would seem that a president who guarantees the security of another nation without first negotiating a formal treaty that is ratified by the Senate is acting unconstitutionally and should be threatened with impeachment if he persists in the matter.

    Have a look at what you wrote about Trump back on Election Day. Given that Trump having Jewish friends, family, and business partners was public information for decades, you must be colossally stupid. No wonder the Jews run everything, when their enemies are so lame.

     

    Here is what I wrote then:

    For what it is worth – Trump would do what is necessary to get rid of ISIS – but that he is not interest in more big wars.

    Trump is a builder of buildings – it is not in his DNA to destroy things.

     

    I am a Christian and therefor I am hopeful. I was hopeful then and I am hopeful now. No question but that Trump is negatively influenced by his Jew connections. He very well may stupidly kill the Iran nuke treaty, but that does not mean war. Until NKorea is settled, no war is going to happen with Iran.

    Yes - you Jews are running things – but right into the ground. What craziness and chaos that is going on in today’s American culture is on YOU JEWS – you broke it - you own it!

    "Drives" implies it's the predominant factor. And anyway, Giraldi's list doesn't include a single person who is actually in the Trump administration. Most of the people (Frum, Boot, et al.) he lists are in fact harsh critics of Trump (for mostly bad reasons, imo), whose influence on his administration is doubtful. My list (Mattis, McMaster, etc.) was, on the other hand, entirely made up of people currently (or formerly, in the case of Flynn and Bannon), in the administration. Who do you think is more likely to be driving the push behind war?

    The top brass of the U.S. military is one of the prime factors behind confrontation with not only Iran, but Russia (even more dangerously). These guys have been prepping for the Big One since their days at West Point. And as anti-Semites love pointing out, the number of Jews in the military (and especially the top ranks) is negligible.

    Why is the Trump administration and Congress about to sell heavy weaponry to the junta in Ukraine, that has ties to anti-Semitic nationalists? Who is the more anti-Jewish party in that conflict, Ukraine or Russia? Putin has good relations with Israel and with Jewish (and non-Jewish) Russian oligarchs. If the Jews back Ukraine over Russia, they must be stupid. How is it then that they have so much influence?

    “The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history.”
     
    This (unlike "America's Jews are Driving America's Wars") isn't ipso facto anti-Semitic, but it's a gross exaggeration. The main "drivers" of that war were Cheney and Rumsfeld, neither of whom were Jewish.

    So, I see that Arts is letting you drive the 88 this afternoon.

    I am not willing to say that he is anti-Semitic, although I lean in that direction, and certainly leaned that way in the past. I am trying to move away from labeling and trying to concentrate on the ideas and arguments. I was proposing an explanation as to why he would write in a manner that would arouse anti-Semitic passions from people such as yourself and your fellow travelers. Is anti-Semitism the only reason?

    Is anti-Semitism the only reason?

    actually it’s rather anti-Semitic for you to even ask that question.

    of course it’s only anti-Semitism!

    why else would someone criticize serial wars for Israel, torture and genocide?!

    I can’t believe you would even suggest something so anti-Semitic as if anyone who criticizes some of the things some Jews do are motivated by anything other than an evil and irrational hatred of all Jews simply because they’re Jews

    That paragraph is not incorrect, even if it is not the full story.
     
    I said as much. Krauthammer & Co were instrumental, but they were hardly the lead pieces in the orchestra.

    Can you not conceive that the undoubted “prominent representation” (at least) in the area of foreign policy, and the evident tilt of that foreign policy towards wars that appear to be in the interests of Israel (or at any rate the interests of Israel as they are seen by those prominent representatives), could create a justified concern in a reasonable opponent of US military interventionism that US policy in that area is being pushed in the wrong direction by a powerful group whose loyalties are at least conflicted?
     
    I can conceive it and indeed concede it, that Kristol & Co were influential. A president's policy is ultimately his own and various interests always seek to align themselves with it, perhaps gaining in other sundry concerns. But the recent wars had many promoters, GWB, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice to name a few. I am deeply sceptical of the notion that these wars were conceived on Israel's behalf. I am further amused, if not troubled, by this idea that Jews in this country are steadfast in their support of Israel as a monolithic bloc. You'd be hard-pressed to find a group more given to argument and disagreement. But, as in Britain, to call into question loyalties of U.S. Jews, would be to give succour to a favourite falsehood of the fringe. American Jews no more support the state of Israel than do the gentile citizenry.

    I do not mean to say that all U.S. wars were the fruit of clear-headed thinking, indeed some weren't, but I am yet to be presented with a roster of such, waged by other great powers, never in question, never in fault nor folly.

    Indeed, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the case Giraldi makes here, except to the extent that you speculate that it is motivation for presenting it.
     
    Quite so in the case of this particular piece. And I meant more the commentaries which inevitably call as home, Giraldi's corner.

    Further, I must say the lines demarcating his various articles do get blurred in my view, each vying to outdo the previous in its single-minded reviling of a certain group. In those articles, should you feel disposed to search, you will find that infernal idea of which I speak.

    Randal, simplicity tends to produce the correct answers. One might disagree with American policy; Neocon policy; or those of Zionism; or those of the Mafia. Let's not call them Jewish or Italian conspiracies, shall we?

    He’s an educated man. He knows that Jews have been accused of disloyalty to the state a hundred years before Israel even existed; even before emancipation in Europe. Why do you have to use inflammatory language like that? Why not just call them war mongers or extremist hawks? It’s not like if the Jews dropped out they wouldn’t be replaced by non-Jews.

    Very interesting film and commentary.

    In fact, there are Orthodox who firmly support the state of Israel, including Orthodox who have immigrated to Israel.

    One comment that Rabbi Shapiro made was that the Israeli military didn't need or want the Orthodox Yeshiva students. If true, the question or drafting Yeshiva students becomes a matter of internal Israeli policy, to be determined by the political process in Israel. If so, what can the effect of a rally in New York, USA be? Are the Orthodox trying to influence US pressure on Israel? Why should the government of Israel listen to New York Orthodox at all?

    As far as the internal politics of Israel, many of the people on this thread see Israel as the racist aggressor in the Middle East, pressuring the US to cause chaos and destruction in the area.

    I'm an American Firster, but I do support the existence of Israel. I think it's the responsibility of Israel, and not the US to maintain the existence of Israel. I fully support the commenter who wanted to do away with dual ciizenship. A citizen can have only one primary loyalty. This extends to dual citizenship with Israel, Mexico, Iran, or Hungary (though I have much sympathy with Hungarian citizens).

    The government of Israel wants the character of Israel to be Jewish (although Rabbi Shapiro would argue, not TOO Jewish. That's an internal Israeli affair, on which I wish to have no influence. In my opinion, any state that wishes to maintain its existence will have to pursue policies that could be termed as racist. Like, the US totally excluding Muslims from further immigration. Racist perhaps, and totally necessary. But, the US should not become involved in the internal affairs of other countries. And yes, that means stopping US foreign aid to Israel.

    As far as the 2003 attack on Iraq being a result of Jewish dual loyalists: it's possible. But, if so, let me point out that whatever influence the Jewish neocons had on the Iraqi attack was the stupidest ever. In fact, Jewish popular opinion tends, in my opinion, to be extremely stupid and self-destructive. In 2003, there were at least two states in the Middle East very hostile to Israel: Iraq and Iran. Who was the biggest enemy of Iran: Iraq. So, was taking out Iraq as a country helpful to Israel? Now, Iran is no longer facing Iraq, which had the population, and is only facing Saudi Arabia, which has only money and mercenaries. Was Israel a net beneficiary? So, if the neocons were acting out of Israel's interest and not the US's, they were being extremely stupid. I do consider neocons to be stupid, but that's the point.

    Looking at Jewish US popular opinion, Jews voted 70% for Obama and almost the same proportion for Hillary in 2016. Is it in the interest of US Jews to bring in more Muslims? More Muslims in Sweden and France have made parts of those countries unbearable for the Jews, who favored the open border policies. If you look on the websites of Jewish organizations in the US, you'll see almost universal horror at the very mild travel exclusions of the Trump Presidency. Whatever Jewish influence there is, runs directly counter to the real interests of Jewish US citizens.

    Someone mentioned that Israel itself is instituting ideological tests for aliya, or Jewish immigration to Israel. I think this is a sensible policy for Israel. If Israel wishes to maintain its character, the immigrants should reflect the ideological and cultural identity of the current population. But, I wish to make that an internal policy of Israel through, at a minimum, ceasing foreign aid to Israel and doing away with dual citizenship.

    Hey RonaldB,

    Like, the US totally excluding Muslims from further immigration. Racist perhaps, and totally necessary.

    This is not racist. Islam is not a race – it is a religion. To exclude Muslims would be to exclude whites (like Bosnians) as well as Blacks (like Senegalese).

    I do consider neocons to be stupid, but that’s the point.

    Agreed, I wouldn’t hire them to be janitors, they seem inept at everything (especially foreseeing the results of their actions) except at making messes other people have to clean up.

    Peace.

    All this "Jews this" and "Jews that" just feels simply not quite right.

    Can't really put my finger on it, but reminds me of blaming tobacco companies executives/marketing/sales people for smoking induced health issues.
    Or, blaming food companies executives/marketing/sales people for being overweight.

    Feels......disingenuous.

    Jews rule media. Media is this/that.
    Fine....don't read/buy/watch/enjoy it.
    Or, more likely....I do like that, and I do know it's bad, but, I also do have that "Jews did it". No blame on myself. None.

    US itself was created by constant expansion, mostly by force of arms. Since its creation. Since The War of 1812.
    Blaming Jews for all that is just......not correct.

    Nobody disputes they are what they are.
    Cynic would say they are just better in that then other competitors in the same game.

    But, blaming post Cold War US foreign policy just on Jews is ...wrong.

    There is their portion of blame, of course.
    But, there is a lot to blame other players too.

    I guess that properly appointing the blame on all the players would be good.

    Maybe starting with some of core US values wouldn't be a bad idea?

    Actually, not that bad a question.

    If we disregard a bit of "semantic play" and undercurrent of, say, certain attitude in the question, it's legit.

    So, it is incorrect.
    Wrong (I guess in moral sense) doesn't apply in geopolitics.

    As I've been saying, the very history of United States (all of the Big Guys in history of humankind, that is) is constant GROWTH. The thing, if successful, simply grows.
    First attempt Canada.
    Then towards Mexico.
    Then, having some "empty" space within, West.
    Hawaii.
    Then Cuba....Philippines....and the rest till today.

    Constant.........growth.

    It's easy to even mark it: just follow the builds of US military bases.

    Collapse of Soviet Union simply gave the same idea just a new, fresh impetus.

    So, blaming Jews for Canada 1812 is just ridiculous.
    And from then on it's simply the same game.

    I just believe that a good regional war is necessity for US national interest.

    Not only "elites", but everyone in US (and loyal satellites and vassals).
    That's how it's been since US got conceived.

    I mean, everyone except Trump supporters want war.
    And what do Trump supporters want: make America great.....again.
    If I got all that right, they want, what, US from late 50's?
    Wasn't that a direct result from being a winner, without internal destruction, of WW2?

    So......

    It must be a war, IMHO, somewhere, to keep the same system going on.

    Now, if we don't want the war, well, really, we'd want to change the system.

    That's in another universe, at the moment.

    there are times when it is appropriate to speak in vulgar terms if you want to actually describe something accurately

    from what I understand, the best kapos in the camps were homosexuals. And they'd do anything to be allowed certain privileges. It was well known that they were enamored of their handsome, tall, blonde Nazi captors, and were in no small measure willing to abase themselves in every way possible to endear themselves to the guards and Kommandant.

    The services they offered went from ratting out their fellow Jews to the guards- to offering lewd favors for those guards who'd deign to accept them. So yes, the vulgar description at the top of this post is on occasion apropos, and I can't help but see Paul Ryan as one of these modern day kapos, willing to do anything, no matter how abased, to please his masters. It's just that now the roles are somewhat reversed, and Sheldon Adelson is playing the part of Nazi Kommandant, and Paul Ryan is the homosexual kapo willing and eager to perform depraved favors to earn Sheldon's approval, while betraying his own people for a few privileges.

    don't you agree that the parallels between Ryan (and Lindsey and McCain, etc..) and those homosexual kapos are too eerily analogous to ignore?

    He's an educated man. He knows that Jews have been accused of disloyalty to the state a hundred years before Israel even existed; even before emancipation in Europe. Why do you have to use inflammatory language like that? Why not just call them war mongers or extremist hawks? It's not like if the Jews dropped out they wouldn't be replaced by non-Jews.

    Precisely. And I rest my case.

    It is, historically speaking, not a good idea to airily dismiss the word of hostile nations. Iran is not exactly friendly toward the U.S., is it?

    This report from farsi news-reporting:
    http://www.resalat-news.com/fa/?code=251219

    A look at the speech reveals something ominous. What Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, actually threatened was that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically and said Iran could flatten it.

    Hasbara BS. Iran has every reason to distrust the US and Israel. Israel wants chaos in the rest of the ME and the US is israels pawn. No amount of has area rubbish can change that.

    I wonder where Mr. Giraldi would put David Horowitz on the list? Although Horowitz is not a public policy maker, but rather an author and blogger, but definitely is a known Jewish voice. I respect Horowitz tremendously because of his background as an ex-Communist and his dead-on criticism of the American Left, both historically and currently. Although rather knee-jerk in his defense of Israel, I would not doubt his loyalty to this country one iota. I do not know if David Horowitz is a dual Israeli-American citizen, but he is not a legislator nor a government policy maker, so as far as I am concerned, the issue is moot. If one questions the loyalty to America, of Jews or any other group for that matter, the issue of holding dual citizenship while holding certain government offices should be something of concern. Once out of public office or service, then they can resume their dual citizenship. It makes the issue of loyalty less questionable.

    David Horowitz is loathsome rubbish!

  253. Israelis, and American Zionists and their lackeys, push for a war against Iran because they think they can win cheaply. This is what they thought about Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria. They think they can engineer this without fatal damage against both Israel and the AngloZionist Empire. Despite what McMaster and Mattis may say for political consumption and to keep their jobs, they know that as a military mission this is impossible for the US in 2017. Any preemptive strike will ignite a general war in the Mideast, with the real possibility of drawing in Russia and China, in a nuclear exchange. The former US and Israel will have no other allies. The fighting could easily lead to
    the Israelis’ deploying the Samson Option – self-immolation; it is ringed with 100,000 Hezbollah rockets. The former US would confront an economic crisis it cannot print its way out of, and ignition of war will provide the impetus for the breakup both of the Zionist State – what radioactive remnant there is left – and the former US, by no means assured of
    preventing major military and economic damage to the Heimat.

    Hubris. Chosen. The Exceptional Nation. God and Karma are just. If they ignite a war, they will
    get what they deserve; if they do not, they will also get what they deserve.

  254. Why do literate people keep using this term that the Jews of the media have inflicted upon the discussion? This use of the word “Semite” or “Semitic” as a substitute for saying “Jewish” is just plain silly. The vast majority of the world’s Semites are Arabs, just as Arabic is by far the most important Semitic language. They use this euphemism, because as secular Jews they do not want to suggest they they are religious Jews.

    I took the Israeli Ulpan program once in Jerusalem, the three-month intensive Hebrew language course. In that class there were around 20 adult immigrants to Israel, and of that group there were three of us who claimed to believe in God. Most of the class were Russian or Ukrainian immigrants, secular Jews who had lost their place in the Communist government, so they moved to Israel. Every day one of them would say “I don’t believe in God at all. Judaism is my race.” Then all the others would shake their heads in agreement. This is what being a secular Jew is all about: atheists who still think they are Jews on the basis of race.

    In the middle of the first millennium AD there was a tribal chief in Central Asia who converted to Judaism, and he brought in Jewish scholars to teach his people. These Kazars became Jews, and these people with very very few Semitic, Middle Eastern genes make up the majority of the European, Ashkanazi Jews. It should be pretty obvious that these people have few ancestors indeed who can trace their families back to the Levant, and gene studies bear this out. So, calling these people Semites is just plain ridiculous; nor does it make sense to call someone an anti-Semite just because he denies that European secular Jews have a right to go take over land that has been occupied by Muslims and Christian Arabs for the last thousand years. This is, like so much else in our media world, is a scam enabled by gentile ignorance.

    Thank you for your information. I've long held similar views and i believe it's correct.

    Many true Jews apparently would also agree and have warned about the frauds that use the Jewish narrative to further their own greedy, perverted causes.

    I do wish real Jews would speak out against them more frequently and get more exposure.

    [T]he evidence from anthropology concurs with history in refuting the popular belief in a Jewish race descended from the biblical tribe. From the anthropologist's point of view, two groups of facts militate against this belief: the wide diversity of Jews with regard to physical characteristics, and their similarity to the Gentile population amidst whom they live. Both are reflected in the statistics about bodily height, cranial index, blood-groups, hair and eye colour, etc. Whichever of these anthropological criteria is taken as an indicator, it shows a greater similarity between Jews and their Gentile host-nation than between Jews living in different countries. ...The obvious biological explanation for both phenomena is miscegenation, which took different forms in different historical situations: intermarriage, large-scale proselytizing, rape as a constant (legalized or tolerated) accompaniment of war and pogrom.

    Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe (1976).
     

    “The Invention of the Jewish People,” first published in Hebrew in Israel with the title, Matai ve’ech humtza ha’am hayehudi?, is by Shlomo Sand, Professor of History at Tel Aviv University.

    It explains and clarifies a lot about Zionism as well as “Semitism.”


    The book was a bestseller in Israel for several months …

    http://mondoweiss.net/2011/12/new-york-times-implies-anti-zionism-is-anti-semitic.html
     

    Countering official Zionist historiography, Sand questions whether the Jewish People ever existed as a national group with a common origin in the Land of Israel/Palestine. He concludes that the Jews should be seen as a religious community comprising a mishmash of individuals and groups that had converted to the ancient monotheistic religion but do not have any historical right to establish an independent Jewish state in the Holy Land. In short, the Jewish People, according to Sand, are not really a “people” in the sense of having a common ethnic origin and national heritage. They certainly do not have a political claim over the territory that today constitutes Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, including Jerusalem.”

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we’re a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    The Christian god is a mega universal god seeking peace for all --- not a puny tiny, one tribe god – a god that exhibits himself in Israel, a nation of haters and terrorists.

    Our Christian god is hopeful and merciful seeking peace for all of humanity. The Jew god favors one tribe. The Christian god is moving humanity to peace – the Jew god to division, hate, chaos and war.

    The Jew god exhibits himself in Israel. He champions apartheid, summery killing, torture, detention without trial, squatting, gross unfair internal wars against defenseless people, and endless waring attacks on its neighbors. "By deception it makes war."

    Clearly the pip squeak tribal Jew god is immoral and inferior.

    blaming post Cold War US foreign policy just on Jews is …wrong.

    Do you mean incorrect, or do you mean wrong?

    Do you mean incorrect, or do you mean wrong?

    Actually, not that bad a question.

    If we disregard a bit of “semantic play” and undercurrent of, say, certain attitude in the question, it’s legit.

    So, it is incorrect.
    Wrong (I guess in moral sense) doesn’t apply in geopolitics.

    As I’ve been saying, the very history of United States (all of the Big Guys in history of humankind, that is) is constant GROWTH. The thing, if successful, simply grows.
    First attempt Canada.
    Then towards Mexico.
    Then, having some “empty” space within, West.
    Hawaii.
    Then Cuba….Philippines….and the rest till today.

    Constant………growth.

    It’s easy to even mark it: just follow the builds of US military bases.

    Collapse of Soviet Union simply gave the same idea just a new, fresh impetus.

    So, blaming Jews for Canada 1812 is just ridiculous.
    And from then on it’s simply the same game.

    I just believe that a good regional war is necessity for US national interest.

    Not only “elites”, but everyone in US (and loyal satellites and vassals).
    That’s how it’s been since US got conceived.

    I mean, everyone except Trump supporters want war.
    And what do Trump supporters want: make America great…..again.
    If I got all that right, they want, what, US from late 50′s?
    Wasn’t that a direct result from being a winner, without internal destruction, of WW2?

    So……

    It must be a war, IMHO, somewhere, to keep the same system going on.

    Now, if we don’t want the war, well, really, we’d want to change the system.

    That’s in another universe, at the moment.

    Hey RonaldB,

    Like, the US totally excluding Muslims from further immigration. Racist perhaps, and totally necessary.
     
    This is not racist. Islam is not a race - it is a religion. To exclude Muslims would be to exclude whites (like Bosnians) as well as Blacks (like Senegalese).

    I do consider neocons to be stupid, but that’s the point.
     
    Agreed, I wouldn't hire them to be janitors, they seem inept at everything (especially foreseeing the results of their actions) except at making messes other people have to clean up.

    "And I would add a few more names, Mark Dubowitz, Michael Ledeen and Reuel Marc Gerecht..."

    I suppose Ledeen still believes what he said fifteen years ago, when the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were still young and dewy-fresh:

    "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business".

    This even became known as "The Ledeen Doctrine"; I am sure he is very proud.

    Perhaps today he thinks Iran is a suitable "small crappy little country". If so, he is very badly mistaken.

    A person who throws a smaller person against a wall is, at the very least, a bully, and may be arrested for assault and battery.

    I am deeply sceptical of the notion that these wars were conceived on Israel’s behalf.

    Opening paragraph of Chapter 1 of Stephen Sniegoski’s The Transparent Cabal:

    THERE IS A GROWING realization that the U.S. war against Iraq and American Middle East policy in general has been disastrous to American interests. In the words of A. Richard Norton, professor of international relations at Boston University, who served as an adviser to the James Baker-led Iraq Study Group, “Surveying U.S. history, one is hard-pressed to find presidential decisions as monumentally ill-informed and counterproductive as the decision to invade and occupy Iraq; however, a decision to go to war against Iran would arguably surpass the Iraq war as the worst foreign-policy decision ever made by an American president.” The unnecessary American war against Iraq has not only killed and wounded thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, but has also actually increased the terrorist threat to the United States. An American attack on Iran would compound this damage geometrically, bringing about a major conflagration in the heart of the oil-producing region of the Middle East that would reverberate throughout the entire world. This disaster is highly likely unless the United States completely eschews all elements of the Middle East war policy.

    How did the United States come to formulate this colossally erroneous policy? This is not simply a question of significance to those who study history; it is of vital importance to everyone alive today. For it is only by understanding the origins of and motivation behind the current policy that we may establish the proper alternative policy, to extricate the United States from the existing quagmire and bring about the best settlement now possible. This work examines a controversial and in some respects taboo subject: the close relationship of the American neoconservatives with the Israeli Likudnik right, and their role as the fundamental drivers of the Bush administration’s militant American policy in the Middle East —a policy which inspired both the 2003 war in Iraq and the equally militant solutions contemplated since for other Middle East policy problems. It marshals evidence to illustrate that the war in Iraq (a foreign-policy blunder of colossal proportions, considered from the perspective of the American national interest) and the policy that inspired it and continues to inspire our approach to other actors and issues in the Middle East, have their common origin in the orientation of the neoconservative policy towards service of the interests of Israel. This orientation is at the root of the explanation for why our policy does not seem to address or correspond with the genuine security needs of the United States. Such an understanding does not mean that the neoconservatives necessarily or consciously sought to aid Israel at the expense of the United States, but rather that they have seen American foreign policy through the lens of Israeli interest. Ideology and personal ties have blinded them to what most others clearly see as the foreign policy reality.

    Nope. As far as I know, he was being perfectly serious.

    And that is exactly the way the power elite think - although they are usually much more cautious about speaking their mind in public.

    Anyway, the American public has shown many times that it really doesn't give a rat's ass about foreigners being killed or maimed - not three of them, not three million of them. Foreigners might as well be bugs. What really matters is that feeling of power and superiority: their country is Top Nation and can whip anyone else, yes sir. Politicians continually rely on that undercurrent of nationalist chuavinism, and it never lets them down.

    They would care if their kids were drafted. Our excellent adventures in the middle east were fought by volunteers, so there is a disconnect.

Most generals today are expert political backstabbers who advanced during the tragic Neocon and PC era of the past 30 years. Who can forget the disgusting General Casey when he said, "And what happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here." The generals that Trump hired for his administration are now running circles around him, particularly McMaster. They want war to keep the Neocons happy and that is what this crop of generals has been trained to do.

    They want war to keep the Neocons happy and that is what this crop of generals has been trained to do.

    this has gotten me so depressed and aggravated at the same time. I hoped Trump would not have become forced into more wars and killing (falling for false flags in Syria, etc.) by the Neocons and Neoliberals. But, I suppose he thought working with the Mafia in the City over the decades gave him some sort of experience with being coerced…we’ll never know how much he has been threatened, I guess. Sad. I am just beyond disgusted that these American Generals have also been bought and paid for to send innocent young people into the Middle East to kill & maim innocent civilians. Everything really is only about money ( for many people; not me)…it had been money and sex; now it is just money.

    Now 3 out of 9 and, just writing on that which I know, I don't see why you would regard Stephen Breyer's Jewish ancestry as significant other than perhaps for the genes which equip him to be a good lawyer. After all he has long been married to a member of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy and his avocations include writing on Proust.

    BTW, on Monday they did a great interview (2 segments, over half hour) with Bill Binney, much about the VIPS memo to Trump regarding the DNC leak (which I think you didn’t sign). Bill states, had there been an earlier hack, the NSA would have picked it up, so the VIPS memo not addressing that is irrelevant.

    One of the great triumphs of Zionism is its success at conflating Zionism with Judaism. In some sense Zionism is the antithesis of Judaism. Zionism is the suicidal ideology that seeks to replace the native inhabitants of Palestine with alien Jews. These Jews will then be surrounded by implacable enemies who will sooner or later wipe them out. Throughout their history, Jews have had a fatal attraction to this kind of zealotry. It's why Jews have a fascination with communism and it's what got the Jews booted out of Palestine, in the first place, nearly two thousand years ago.

    What got the Jews kicked out of Israel two thousand years ago was their rejection of Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah. He then pronounced a judgment upon them; their Temple would be destroyed and they would be dispersed amongst the nations.

    We have to put these "Jews" someplace. Today's Jews are not related to the Jews of Jesus' time. It's the RCC and Zioevangizers who give them their status. The priesthood ended when the temple was destroyed. They want to rebuild the temple, but that will never happen. Julian the Apostate tried that. What would happen today is another earthquake. If these "Jews" want to practice the Old Testament ways let them and we must send the Jews in the West to Israel.

    I know the Bible said they were to be disbursed but those original Jews are gone. Today's "Judaism" is a mishmash of the Kabbala and the Talmud. Nothing to do with the Old Testament. Let these strange people do their own thing.

    Co-Authors Reflect Ten years After Publishing Controversial Book,
    'The Israel Lobby'

    https://www.wbez.org/shows/worldview-podcast/coauthors-reflect-ten-years-after-publishing-controversial-book-the-israel-lobby/912a4c83-8144-442e-99b2-93e6156f39f4

    "The 2007 book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy argued that a loose coalition of interests, which supports Israel, lobbies the U.S. government to skew U.S. foreign policy to Israel’s favor. The authors also assert this reality damages, both America’s and Israel’s, long-term interests. “The Israel Lobby” ignited a firestorm of debate. Critics accused the authors of giving voice to historic anti-Semitic slurs. Supporters hailed the book as opening a door to needed dialogue on a taboo subject.



    Ten years later, the book’s co-authors, John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, join Worldview to discuss the changes in Middle East dialogue in the decade since they wrote the book. Mearsheimer is professor of political science at the University of Chicago and authored numerous books including, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics. Walt is a professor of International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He also authored the book, Taming American Power: The Global Response to U.S. Primacy."

    It's not the Jews

    The real reason behind America's wars is the very american idolatry of egalitarianism and democracy

    An advisor to Woodrow Wilson hoped that WW1 will finally put european monarchies to rest. League of Nations was situated in Geneva. Lincoln said: "No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.". This need to democratize the world is pre-neocon, neocons could only take advantage of it

    Since american elites reason only in terms of Equality and Democracy, once you achieve those aims in your country, then you naturally shift your attention to foreign affairs and try to extend those ideas there

    If Israel wasn't perceived as "democratic", then it wouldn't get american support

    Israel is administratively a democracy, but it defines itself by race/blood. Any other country that did so would not only receive no US support, but would be the target of sanctions, with many American Jews leading the charge.

    How many Christians are not Zionists? They all worship the Jewish god YHWH. They all worship his putative son Yeshua. The majority believe ole Yeshua is coming back to fight off that evil old (and also Jewish) Satan. Furthermore, they believe this great title bout must occur in - yessiree - the "holy land" (i.e. Israel/Zion/Jerusalem).

    The irony here is perhaps the greatest. The Jew blaming is almost Stormfront level while the commenters pound their translated Hebrew books and whinge that the Jews are conspiring against them. They are far more brainwashed than any communist AntiFa type. "None are so blind as those who refuse to see" and all that. Worshipping some random Jewish bastard who became a handyman or some random desert cave dwelling Jew with vivid hallucinations is exactly the same as the Jews' worship of a lunatic who talks to god from a mountaintop (or his LDS successor).

    IF there's a Jew conspiracy it's a couple thousand years old at this point and half the planet is part of it.

    Christianity is of course a historical offshoot of Judaism, but its central tenets have more in common with Islam than Judaism. (Ask which religion has a more favorable viewpoint of Christ.) Evangelical prostration for modern Israel is sickening and stupid, but fortunately not all Christians are that dense.

    Bernie Sanders (a scary Jew!) wasn't nearly as anti-imperialist as I would have liked him to be, but I doubt he would have attacked Assad regime forces 6 times like Trump has by this point, and certainly not without Congressional approval (which he probably wouldn't have gotten, even if he had wanted it).

    Even under Hillary, the Iran deal would have stood a better chance, since she was at least verbally committed to it (unlike even Rand Paul), and there would have been Obama loyalists within the Clinton administration who would have been desperate to preserve Obama's signature foreign policy achievement (and one of the only worthwhile ones, in my opinion, along with restoration of diplomatic ties with Cuba).

    Bernie argued FOR a No-Fly zone in Syria, still pushes the “brutal dictator Assad kills his own people” and “Russia invaded Crimea” memes., and loves his F-35 ‘Deefence Plant’ in VT. And what makes you think Bernie wouldn’t have morphed into Deep State Puppet if he’d been elected, just like all the others? There’s no telling what he might have done under R2P rubric.

    He's an educated man. He knows that Jews have been accused of disloyalty to the state a hundred years before Israel even existed; even before emancipation in Europe. Why do you have to use inflammatory language like that? Why not just call them war mongers or extremist hawks? It's not like if the Jews dropped out they wouldn't be replaced by non-Jews.

    Jews were accused of disloyalty because in many cases they were actually disloyal– they made excellent spies in the great conflict between Islam and Christendom, and before that between Persia and Rome.

    No dual citizen should be allowed to serve in any official capacity at the federal, state, or local level in these United States of America.

    In December, 1956 — just six months before his untimely death at age 48 — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy gave a speech “George Washington’s Surrender” in which he recounted British Gen. Cornwallis’s warning to Gen. Washington, that, despite its victory at Yorktown, the United States would become the British Crown’s poodle on the leash of Judaized Christianity.

    [MORE]

    “The confession of General Cornwallis to General Washington at Yorktown has been well hidden by historians.

    “Jonathan Williams recorded in his LEGIONS OF SATAN, 1781, that Cornwallis revealed to Washington that

    “A holy war will now begin on America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown.”
    [...]
    “Your churches will be used to teach the Jew’s religion and in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of Freemasonry.”

    And indeed George Washington himself was a Mason, and he gave back through a false religion what he had won with his army.”

    “Cornwallis well knew that his military defeat was only the beginning of world catastrophe that would be universal and that unrest would continue until mind control could be accomplished through a false religion. What he predicted has come to pass.
    [...]
    We are aliens in our own country because of false religion. All are praying for divine deliverance into that “Divine Government” which Cornwallis knew to be the British Empire. A false religion has been used to deceive us into allegiance to our enemies of Yorktown and Bunker Hill. No! Not a gun has been fired but the invisible and malignant process of conquering America with the Jew’s religion has gone on unabated.
    [...]
    Once man gives over to false religion, he is no longer rational because he originates no thought. His life is controlled by whomever controls his religion.”

    Christian Zionism did not start until the late 19th century publication of the Scofield bible.
    Protestantism has always had a heretical standpoint on the jews.
    Catholic and Orthodox are NOT Zionist.

    In fact, please take a read of the Civilta Cattolica article I posted above and you will see that the church is intimately connected to resusting jewish power, as jewish power leads eventually to the rise of the antichrist.

    Also, search for John Chrysostom ‘Against the Jews’ to understand how Christianity and the Jews are absolutely opposites.

    Christian Zionism will likely morph into the religion of the antichrist, becoming THE most deadly heresy.

    Concerning gratitude towards the peoples who shelter them, the Israelites regard themselves as absolved, since they believe them to be usurpers. Just to the contrary, they use every sort of means in order to gain supremacy over them, of which they believe to have been assured by the Old Testament. The time they pass within the bosom of other people is for them, so to speak, a time of penance, punishment and exile; and the inhabitants of the countries harboring them pass for enemies which, as soon as the promised hour of universal Jewish dominion over the world will have come, are to be subjugated.

    If Sanders ever advocated a no-fly zone, you should be able to find him doing so somewhere in the public record. Of course, the reason you haven't produced any such example is because there isn't one. Since you were so sure that Sanders had advocated a no-fly zone, this just confirms that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and should probably shut up forever.

    As for Sanders advocating the removal of Assad through "negotiated settlement", yes, he has advocated this, but everyone knows that he would have no power to do this unless military force was used, which Sanders opposes. So it's meaningless boilerplate. Besides, we're not talking about whether Sanders is great on foreign policy (I agree he isn't), we're talking about whether he would have been better than Trump. I think it's clear he would be. Trump has not only, at times, talked about removing Assad, he's actually attacked Assad with military force 6 times so far, without even Congressional approval. Sanders is pretty bad on foreign policy, but it would be hard for him to be worse than Trump.

    And Australia though, as an Australian, I have been increasingly worried about US reliability for 20 years or so. Australia has been allied to the US in more wars than any other country. The only upgrade is that Australians are no longer likely to be called "our Bulgarians" as they allegedly were by a US general in Vietnam.

    I don’t believe that asinine comment by a dopey U.S. general compares to the brutal, horrific carnage that British generals inflicted on brave Australian men by using them as cannon fodder during first half of the 20th century. And you are 100% correct about U.S. reliability, just look at the current Ukrainian fiasco (started by a U.S. 1994 agreement), Muammar Khaddafi, Hosni Mubarek, & Sirik Matak (which is the saddest) among countless others.

    Thanks for nice Bernard Lewis quote which I shall happily accept as genuine despite BL being Jewish and therefore specially liable to be subjected to fake quotes. I don't think the Brits treated Australians as worse cannon fodder than their own in the early 20th century. Despite Churchill's understandable ruling class preference for Imperial Indian interests over anything to do with those low class colonials lots of upper and upper middle class English men (and women) knew the young Australia and appreciated it, not least for the money they had made.

    If you rely on the impression given by Peter Weir's ?(David Williamson's) film "Gallipoli" that it was an English officer giving the fatal order for the worst suicidal attack then you have been, like many of us, taken in by the voìce - which was not untypical of the kiñd of officer class Australian who actually gave the order. More generally, Australians and other Dominion troops tended to be physically bigger and fitter than the English and often from a rural background of familiarity with guns and observing terrain. They weren't so much used as cannon fodder (none on the dreadful first day of the Somme I think) as chosen for the tough battles necause they were good - and all volunteers. Indeed Australia had largely managed to get its troops in France out of the clutches of inadequate professional British generals by forming a corps under Gen. John Monash whom Lloyd George wrote up in his memoirs as the general who should have become British Commander-in-Chief in 1919. (My first boss, snorted at this when I quoted it though he had known and enormously admired Monash - a quote " any - presumably plaintiff's - solicitor who hadn't - pre WW1 - retained Monash as expert [engineering] witness was prima facie guilty of negligence". Monash was the son of Prussian Jewish immigrants who went to Scotch College and built up a big civil engineering business while advancing as part time soldier. My said first boss was quite capable of making generalisations about Jews which weren't entirely favourable but for honourable character I think he would have put Monash and Lloyd George at opposite poles, which explaìned the snort).

    Ledeen was involved with CIA & overthrow of Allende, I believe. I refer you to Louis Wolfe's "Counterspy," the magazine of the 1970's.

    Having just read upon Ledeen I was surprised by your suggestion of a connection with Chile and Allende. So I did the obvious and searched for “Ledeen and “Allende”. As I thought no evidence that Ledeen had anything to do with Allende’s downfall. So why do you suggest a connection?

    The evidence about Ledeen and the overthrow of Allende may not be on the Internet. It may be in a book in a university library. Or an article in Foreign Affairs and other magazines.

    Nope. As far as I know, he was being perfectly serious.

    And that is exactly the way the power elite think - although they are usually much more cautious about speaking their mind in public.

    Anyway, the American public has shown many times that it really doesn't give a rat's ass about foreigners being killed or maimed - not three of them, not three million of them. Foreigners might as well be bugs. What really matters is that feeling of power and superiority: their country is Top Nation and can whip anyone else, yes sir. Politicians continually rely on that undercurrent of nationalist chuavinism, and it never lets them down.

    It seems that it is Jonah Goldberg’s recollection of a speech by Ledeen and the description “Ledeen Doctrine” is described in the same Ledeen Wikipedia article as “tongue in cheek”. Ledeen showing off I would infer from the rather unflattering picture of whom that the article, as well ss others, conveys. A bit like some of Trump’s “locker room” talk.

    No! He wasn't. The context made that quite clear. Ledeen is just another Zionist chicken hawk.

    Well maybe braggart and blowhard if not chickenhawk but see my reply to Tom Welsh #301 (as at present numbered). Michael Ledeen should not be influential with grown up policy makers.

    No dual citizen should be allowed to serve in any official capacity at the federal, state, or local level in these United States of America.

    In December, 1956 -- just six months before his untimely death at age 48 -- Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy gave a speech "George Washington's Surrender" in which he recounted British Gen. Cornwallis's warning to Gen. Washington, that, despite its victory at Yorktown, the United States would become the British Crown's poodle on the leash of Judaized Christianity.

    “The confession of General Cornwallis to General Washington at Yorktown has been well hidden by historians.

    “Jonathan Williams recorded in his LEGIONS OF SATAN, 1781, that Cornwallis revealed to Washington that

    “A holy war will now begin on America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown.”
    [...]
    “Your churches will be used to teach the Jew’s religion and in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of Freemasonry.”
     
    And indeed George Washington himself was a Mason, and he gave back through a false religion what he had won with his army.”

    "Cornwallis well knew that his military defeat was only the beginning of world catastrophe that would be universal and that unrest would continue until mind control could be accomplished through a false religion. What he predicted has come to pass.
    [...]
    We are aliens in our own country because of false religion. All are praying for divine deliverance into that “Divine Government” which Cornwallis knew to be the British Empire. A false religion has been used to deceive us into allegiance to our enemies of Yorktown and Bunker Hill. No! Not a gun has been fired but the invisible and malignant process of conquering America with the Jew’s religion has gone on unabated.
    [...]
    Once man gives over to false religion, he is no longer rational because he originates no thought. His life is controlled by whomever controls his religion."

    -- Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy

    You're right. Before Gorsuch joined the Court only 3/8 were Jewish. Not a majority but still....

    Now 3 out of 9 and, just writing on that which I know, I don’t see why you would regard Stephen Breyer’s Jewish ancestry as significant other than perhaps for the genes which equip him to be a good lawyer. After all he has long been married to a member of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy and his avocations include writing on Proust.

    America's Jews Are Driving America's Wars

    He says that they are driving, not that every passenger in the bus is a Jew. Maybe he meant some American Jews. Aren't some American Jews well known peaceniks?

    This is a fallacy, same as the furore over Pakistani men -> grooming gangs. The left is claiming that the phrase implies ‘all’ [collective punishment is not allowed (collective guilt is though)]. But that is incorrect. If one wants to make the point that all am-jews are driving am-wars then one would have to explicitly state that, otherwise the default meaning is ‘some’.

    It has to be considered in context and the context here, according to PG, is that American Jews who have affection for Israel should have no standing on issues related to Israel. American policy toward Cuba has been driven by the Cuban-American community since the 1960’s. Most Cuban-Americans have affection for Cuba. Should Cuban-Americans recuse themselves on issues concerning Cuba? Do American blacks need to recuse themselves on matters concerning Africa? Do Hawaiians need to recuse themselves on issues related to Polynesia and Japan?

    Hey RobinG,

    Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (ra) was a Companion (ra) of the Prophet (pbuh). The hadith you are referring to is basically a reiteration of a verse of Qur'an that denounces some Jews for claiming "Uzayr" is the son of God. There honestly aren't a whole lot of details in the authentic sources and I have read various explanations by the scholars. The one that makes the most sense to me is that there was a (now-extinct) heretical group living among the Jews in the Hijaz that had developed due to isolation from major Jewish learning centers and being surrounded by pagans - only God knows, barring any discovery of major new evidence on the matter.

    Probably the most comprehensive write-up (at least in English) that I have come across is the one from Prof. Jonathan Brown:
    http://almadinainstitute.org/blog/the-quran-the-jews-and-ezra-as-the-son-of-god/

    As far as Ezra (assuming this "Uzayr" in the Qur'an is referring to him), he was a major Jewish priest in the time after the Babylonian Exile:

    @Dump Trump

    Yet, in a classic, paradox-tinged pro-Israel loop-back, the ‘alt-Right’ and ‘white nationalist’ movement, is increasing positive links with security-fence-building, also-ethnic-nationalist Israel
     
    Steve Bannon and his supposed alt-right rag Breitbart are incredibly pro-Israel. I supposed it has something to do with its founder Andrew Breitbart being a Jew. Every time Trump or Nikki Haley says something nasty about Iran, you'll get plenty of Breitbart commenters echoing their sentiment egging them on, you can tell by their inane comments many have no idea why they should hate Iran, other than Breitbart told them to. They've fully bought into the Breitbart narrative that Iran is evil and must be destroyed. The Trump fan boys/girls who continue to blindly support him despite all his betrayals are every bit as stupid as the libtards they claim to hate.

    I have seen Breitbart described as a psyops operation using Cass Sunstein’s cognitive infiltration method. It infiltrated the alternative media in order to neutralize it, by injecting stale old establishment talking points (such as that Iran poses an “existential threat” to Israel) under right cover. Breitbart News, posing as part of the alt-Right, has thus repolarized audiences that were increasingly seeing through the bipartisan control that corporate-financial special interests hold over Western society. The frequent reference to Breitbart as alt-Right by the mainstream media closes the circle of deception: the MSM audience is left in no doubt that Breitbart is beyond the pale and can be safely ignored, while Breitbart’s immense crowd of dupes, reassured that they form part of a breakaway movement, remain trapped in their silo.

    World Jewry declared economic war on Germany in 1933--yes, 1933. With books such as "Germany Must Perish" published by Jewish interests, who could fault the German government from protecting its citizens from the Jewish Bolsheviks, who were fomenting this violence? It is a loosely-guarded secret that Jewish Zionists made deals with the German government to make life difficult for German Jews, in order to help populate what was then known as Palestine. As Jews were the "cream of German society", who could blame them for not wanting to leave?
    As to the "death camps", there was no such thing. These "camps" were recreated by the soviets after WW2 as propaganda pieces. That famous holohoax (oops, I mean "holocaust ™") showplace, Auschwitz has a chimney not connected to anything, poor design of the so-called "gas chambers" which would have resulted in the deaths of the operators, and doors that swing "the wrong way" making it impossible to retrieve the bodies. In fact, claims about the efficiency of the crematoria (thousands of bodies totally cremated per day) cannot be duplicated today, even with today's technology.
    As to the true nature of the "camps", they were work camps, complete with housing, dining facilities, medical and dental facilities, and a wealth of recreational facilities. Now, if these "camps" were "death camps", why all the ancillary facilities? It would have been easier to dispatch the enemies in place, rather than using Germany's energy-poor rail and other transportation systems.
    It is long overdue for this greatest "hoax of the 20th century" to be thrust on to the "ash heap of history"...

    When examined objectively the power that one very small ethnic group wields in this country is frightening and a direct threat to constitutional democracy. Jews are a little over one percent of the population, yet individual Jews, almost all Zionist and anti-Christian, exercise overwhelming control of the entertainment and news industries. Similar individual Jews have a nearly overwhelming presence in higher education, the legal system, the financial sector. Until recently such Jews formed a majority of the Supreme Court. Jews like Adelson, Saban and many others wield overwhelming financial control of the political system in this country. Others have formed innumerable open and covert organizations to promote Jewish interests, e.g., Soros, Dees, et al. There is no Elders of Zion but that this country is now essentially run by people, all drawn from this minority of Zionist, anti-Christian Jews, drawn in turn from a very small Jewish minority should be of concern to any rational citizen, Jew or non-Jew.

    Israel and U.S. officials on Monday inaugurated the first permanent American military base in the country, which will house dozens of U.S. troops and a missile defense system.

    The Pentagon already operates an independent facility nearby in the Negev Desert. The facility is used only by Americans and is meant to detect and warn of a possible ballistic missile attack from Iran.
     
    http://thehill.com/policy/defense/351274-us-opens-first-permanent-military-base-in-israel

    How much is this MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM and American service people COSTING AMERICAN TAX PAYERS? Based upon Iran’s military offensive record, Iran has not attacked any group or country for over two hundred years! Iran has been attacked by the U.S. in the past 70 years. Moreover, the U.S. has done “regime change” in Iran by once again overthrowing an Iranian independent government and installing a “Shah” as the ruler. Trita Parsi has written excellent books about Iran as has Hillary Mann written an excellent book which explains the present Iranian Government. Of course, our presidents and United Nations representatives are not even aware that books have been written and are available concerning Iran much less reading a factual, objective analysis of present day Iran. Nicki Haley believes and lives in NEOCON wonderland as did Samantha Power!

    It comes from holding US embassy staff hostage for 400+ days in Tehran.

    Iranians had every right to expel the Embassy staff, but Iranian leadership screwed up big time by allowing the hot headed students to take and hold Americans hostage that long. The hurt was compounded by the failed rescue attempt disaster.

    Americans are non-vindictive and quite generous when victorious (e.g. Germany and Japan), but don't take defeat and humiliation very well (e.g. Viet Nam).

    Of course Americans, including Trump, only remember what was done to Americans, but conveniently forget that US&UK started it all when they overthrew the democratically elected Mosaddegh in 1953, installed the unelected Shah, trained SAVAK to torture Iranians for decades,.....and the rest is history, as they say.

    Nevertheless, even though they were the wronged party, Iranian should have sent the entire embassy staff to the airport first day, swept the embassy for anything useful, then raise it to the ground. Sort of like what they did to the two US patrol boats that 'accidentally' invaded Iranian territorial waters. The US sailors were treated well, were fed, then quickly released. Incident closed.

    As you are probably aware, (although most Americans never heard of it) the US Embassy In Tehran and CIA staff) was used as a staging area for Mosaddegh’s overthrow in 1953. Of course Iranians were well aware of their own history, which explains why they chose to hold US Embassy staff members as hostages. All The Shah’s Men, by Steven Kinzer provides a detailed account of the above.

    "World War 2 was a Jewish war". That's just barmy stuff. What did Jews have to do with the Anschluss or Hitler's invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland? What did they have to do with Japan's attacks on China then SE Asia and Pearl Harbor?

    World Jewry declared economic war on Germany in 1933–yes, 1933. With books such as “Germany Must Perish” published by Jewish interests, who could fault the German government from protecting its citizens from the Jewish Bolsheviks, who were fomenting this violence? It is a loosely-guarded secret that Jewish Zionists made deals with the German government to make life difficult for German Jews, in order to help populate what was then known as Palestine. As Jews were the “cream of German society”, who could blame them for not wanting to leave?
    As to the “death camps”, there was no such thing. These “camps” were recreated by the soviets after WW2 as propaganda pieces. That famous holohoax (oops, I mean “holocaust ™”) showplace, Auschwitz has a chimney not connected to anything, poor design of the so-called “gas chambers” which would have resulted in the deaths of the operators, and doors that swing “the wrong way” making it impossible to retrieve the bodies. In fact, claims about the efficiency of the crematoria (thousands of bodies totally cremated per day) cannot be duplicated today, even with today’s technology.
    As to the true nature of the “camps”, they were work camps, complete with housing, dining facilities, medical and dental facilities, and a wealth of recreational facilities. Now, if these “camps” were “death camps”, why all the ancillary facilities? It would have been easier to dispatch the enemies in place, rather than using Germany’s energy-poor rail and other transportation systems.
    It is long overdue for this greatest “hoax of the 20th century” to be thrust on to the “ash heap of history”…

    Hey Paul Leo Faso,

    Goldman Sachs Group wants to make its "Big Move of the Century."

    November 2016, Wall Street Journal reported that Goldman Sachs Group is coaxing incredibly populated China to have untethered (market) investment acces$ there.

    Such initiative is helped by the ZUSA government's big plan for an economic & military "pivot" to the Far East which of course under Obama was called the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Some might recall how candidate Trump called the trade agreement "bad" for America and vowed to do a better deal? Where is it? (SIGH)

    Today, interested ZUSA subjects hear nothing about Emperor Trump's plan for a Far East "pivot" that will also help make America "great again."

    However, North Korea's "Rocket Man" has served the ZUSA government ( including Secretary Mnuchin's beloved Goldman Sachs Group) very well by facilitating an astronomical boost of military weaponry around the China neighborhood.

    When young in Scranton, I used to hear a lot of the song, "When Irish eyes are smiling."
    No doubt, given Kim's relentless "craziness," Military-Industrial-Complex eyes are smiling. Also are the G.S.G. Jewish eyes smiling.

    THANKS for the inspiring comment, Paul Leo Faso!

    I must take a slight issue with this characterization anarchist

    I honestly don't believe that the world's politicians slavishly serve Jews and Israel out of fear for their lives or their cities. Most of the world's politicians would happily see their cities reduced to rubble if it meant a few more shekels in their pockets and reelection, even to lord it over the rubble.

    Merkel for instance, or take McCain. Would ether of these politicians lose a moment's sleep if their nations were to become desolate hell-holes of despair and death? I rather think they'd applaud such an outcome, so long as they personally held on to positions of power.

    Would Hillary give one whit if Idaho were nuked by Israel? I suspect she'd cackle at it.

    Bill presided over the holocaust in Waco, where the people he was responsible for protecting from harm were burned alive by his goons, including the children. Do you think such a man cares about the American people?! Hell no he doesn't, that's why ((they)) chose him.

    Did Dubya care about the people in NYC on 9/11? Or the tens of thousands of Americans who either died or were maimed in his wars? Did you see him joking about the missing WMD?

    all Western politicians of any consequence today are selected because they're willing to betray their people and their nations for personal gain. If the Fiend told Merkel to start a war with Russia, and she had the wherewithal to make it happen, do you think that sow would hesitate for a second?

    IOW it isn't the stick that motivates these people, but the proverbial carrot.

    it isn't fear of their nations being destroyed that motivates today's Western politicians, but rather the perks and privileges (in a word; power) that these politicians enjoy that makes them willing to betray their people and nations to the tender mercies of the Fiend.

    one of the best characterizations for today's Western politicians is that hunchback from the movie 300. He didn't betray his people out of fear of death or even suffering, but rather so he could enjoy sexual favors and decadent privileges.

    That is why Merkel is betraying and destroying Germany. That is why John McCain and Paul Ryan are destroying their nations and condemning so many innocents to die in contrived wars.

    so they can personally be lavished with more perks

    I wish you were right, and it was out of fear of nuclear annihilation that they betray their people. That would be more palatable than seeing them betray their nations and people for a dalliance here and a liaison there.

    Think of my mention of Rothschild in "Rothschilds' Economist" as a metonym for mega-Jews. A surprising number of very wealthy Europeans who are not halachically Jewish identity as Jews amongst themselves. That would include Lord Rothschild, whose mother was a Guiness.

    More BS! Ate you too grand to actually bother to look things up that you know bu**er all about. At least you would have got the name of the well known Guinness family right. And you would know that Lord Rothschild’s mother was not a. Guinness, though the late (Mr) Amschel Rothschild, who committed suicide in 1995, did have three children with his Guinness wife. Son James is only in his early 30s and not a peer.

  337. Two things:

    First, the above picture of Kristol brilliantly captures the smugness (see his perpetual smile) of the American Jews who are in control of the U.S. and very well know it.

    Secondly, American Jews, by and large, don’t fight in the American wars they instigate. Their presence in the American armed services, percentage wise, is far below their percent representation in the general population. Their representation in combat arms is even more dismal, but, there’s plenty of Jewish doctors and lawyers in the service.

    I signed induction papers to become a Marine enlisted man in 1972 and was discharged honorably as an officer in late 1979, almost 8 years of service in the infantry. I met 10′s of thousands of Marines during those years…but met only one Jewish infantry officer and absolutely no Jewish enlisted men.

    It’s hard to remain objective about them given these things.

    I’m delighted that Philip had the courage to write what many of us already think about them…they’re cowards, have dual-loyalties and cannot be depended upon to do anything useful for America but fleece us and advance the interests of what Charles De Gaul called “That shitty little country”, Israel.

    First, Semper Fi to you! Served later than you, but noticed the same thing about the Marines and other branches of the service, as I was often in joint service situations. Jews are physically chicken. The also don't have the concept of giving back to this country, which has given them so much. My Dad was Jewish, so I might have ended up in that typical group of Jews you talk about; except for certain reasons. Saw communism up close and personal within the former East Germany and Czechoslovakia in the 1980's. My dad was a World War Two veteran. I know he originally voted for Wendell Willie and didn't want to go, but he was called up in the first peace time draft in 1941. I was pretty young when he died, but he was thrilled that his parents had the good sense to come here after World War One. He used to call this country "the best one in the world" So I did grow up with the idea that one day I would do something in return for this country. Couldn't be infantry of course, I'm female, but proud that I went.

    You are more likely to find that those jews who embrace military service do not advocate AMERICAN military service, despite American support for Israel.

    From an April 2003 Haaretz article:

    The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history. Two of them, journalists William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer, say it's possible.

    This is a war of an elite. [Tom] Friedman laughs: I could give you the names of 25 people (all of whom are at this moment within a five-block radius of this office) who, if you had exiled them to a desert island a year and a half ago, the Iraq war would not have happened.

    If we're not careful, these same treacherous back-stabbing thugs will get the USA involved in a hot war with Iran, while Israel sets on the sideline, laughing about how gullible and stupid those Americans are.

    By a happy coincidence, state of Israel is situated between Russia and Iran. The former Soviet Jews (who are planning to live in Israel and are not packing for Russia) should start working on their local egomaniac Bibi and trimming his virtual mustaches a la Adolph, before Israel is converted into a glassy parking lot.

    Do you mean incorrect, or do you mean wrong?
     
    Actually, not that bad a question.

    If we disregard a bit of "semantic play" and undercurrent of, say, certain attitude in the question, it's legit.

    So, it is incorrect.
    Wrong (I guess in moral sense) doesn't apply in geopolitics.

    As I've been saying, the very history of United States (all of the Big Guys in history of humankind, that is) is constant GROWTH. The thing, if successful, simply grows.
    First attempt Canada.
    Then towards Mexico.
    Then, having some "empty" space within, West.
    Hawaii.
    Then Cuba....Philippines....and the rest till today.

    Constant.........growth.

    It's easy to even mark it: just follow the builds of US military bases.

    Collapse of Soviet Union simply gave the same idea just a new, fresh impetus.

    So, blaming Jews for Canada 1812 is just ridiculous.
    And from then on it's simply the same game.

    I just believe that a good regional war is necessity for US national interest.

    Not only "elites", but everyone in US (and loyal satellites and vassals).
    That's how it's been since US got conceived.

    I mean, everyone except Trump supporters want war.
    And what do Trump supporters want: make America great.....again.
    If I got all that right, they want, what, US from late 50's?
    Wasn't that a direct result from being a winner, without internal destruction, of WW2?

    So......

    It must be a war, IMHO, somewhere, to keep the same system going on.

    Now, if we don't want the war, well, really, we'd want to change the system.

    That's in another universe, at the moment.

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    They are called “ziocons” — read PNAC (am elaboration of Oded Yinon plan) and take a look at the chronicle of the events (below), which resulted in the millions of civilians deaths – the responsibility of ziocons.
    The recommended site, History Commons, quotes “19,700 events and more than 18,000 entities, e.g. individuals, governments/agencies, businesses and organizations.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_Commons
    According to Wikipedia, “The History Commons is a web site and organization that documents events and issues of great social and political significance, focusing primarily on events and issues from the 1970s to the present day.” The History Commons is currently blocked on all search engines because the Commons document (among other things) the activities of Israel-firsters, which led to the ongoing wars in the Middle East.
    The ziocons (deep state) are not for truth.

    Hey Talha, if you please,

    Ezra? Who was Abu Said Al-Khudri, and why did he say (that the Jews will say) that the Jews worship Uzair (Ezra), and who was this Ezra? (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6)

    Hey RobinG,

    Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (ra) was a Companion (ra) of the Prophet (pbuh). The hadith you are referring to is basically a reiteration of a verse of Qur’an that denounces some Jews for claiming “Uzayr” is the son of God. There honestly aren’t a whole lot of details in the authentic sources and I have read various explanations by the scholars. The one that makes the most sense to me is that there was a (now-extinct) heretical group living among the Jews in the Hijaz that had developed due to isolation from major Jewish learning centers and being surrounded by pagans – only God knows, barring any discovery of major new evidence on the matter.

    Probably the most comprehensive write-up (at least in English) that I have come across is the one from Prof. Jonathan Brown:

    http://almadinainstitute.org/blog/the-quran-the-jews-and-ezra-as-the-son-of-god/

    As far as Ezra (assuming this “Uzayr” in the Qur’an is referring to him), he was a major Jewish priest in the time after the Babylonian Exile:

    http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/ezra-the-scribe

    Peace.

    • Replies: @RobinG
    TY Prof. T.! It's good to know it's a bit of a mystery, because I never heard of any Jews believing there was a son of God. But then the name thing... This came from a footnote in a Quran. They have Ezra in parens, (like that is the English translation of Uzayr), so not a separate person. Or is this Jewish priest the same 'son of God'?
    Well, that is really more than I care about. It was just so odd to read, it really suffices that it referred to an isolated sect, and not some whole secret train of thought that I was unaware of.
    Peace, indeed.

    there are times when it is appropriate to speak in vulgar terms if you want to actually describe something accurately

    from what I understand, the best kapos in the camps were homosexuals. And they’d do anything to be allowed certain privileges. It was well known that they were enamored of their handsome, tall, blonde Nazi captors, and were in no small measure willing to abase themselves in every way possible to endear themselves to the guards and Kommandant.

    The services they offered went from ratting out their fellow Jews to the guards- to offering lewd favors for those guards who’d deign to accept them. So yes, the vulgar description at the top of this post is on occasion apropos, and I can’t help but see Paul Ryan as one of these modern day kapos, willing to do anything, no matter how abased, to please his masters. It’s just that now the roles are somewhat reversed, and Sheldon Adelson is playing the part of Nazi Kommandant, and Paul Ryan is the homosexual kapo willing and eager to perform depraved favors to earn Sheldon’s approval, while betraying his own people for a few privileges.

    don’t you agree that the parallels between Ryan (and Lindsey and McCain, etc..) and those homosexual kapos are too eerily analogous to ignore?

    Let's not forget Israel's "Samson Option" in which Israel promises to vaporize a European or American city if its interests are gravely threatened.
    Israel has consistently refused international inspection of its nuclear facilities, as it cannot account for its nukes.
    You see, Israel's nukes are already "in place" in the various cities around the world, and can be "lit off" with very little effort.
    Israel holds a "Damocles sword" over the rest of the world--most politicians "in the know" realize this.
    THIS is the major reason that Israel can get away with just about anything.

    Israel holds a “Damocles sword” over the rest of the world–most politicians “in the know” realize this.
    THIS is the major reason that Israel can get away with just about anything.

    I must take a slight issue with this characterization anarchist

    I honestly don’t believe that the world’s politicians slavishly serve Jews and Israel out of fear for their lives or their cities. Most of the world’s politicians would happily see their cities reduced to rubble if it meant a few more shekels in their pockets and reelection, even to lord it over the rubble.

    Merkel for instance, or take McCain. Would ether of these politicians lose a moment’s sleep if their nations were to become desolate hell-holes of despair and death? I rather think they’d applaud such an outcome, so long as they personally held on to positions of power.

    Would Hillary give one whit if Idaho were nuked by Israel? I suspect she’d cackle at it.

    Bill presided over the holocaust in Waco, where the people he was responsible for protecting from harm were burned alive by his goons, including the children. Do you think such a man cares about the American people?! Hell no he doesn’t, that’s why ((they)) chose him.

    Did Dubya care about the people in NYC on 9/11? Or the tens of thousands of Americans who either died or were maimed in his wars? Did you see him joking about the missing WMD?

    all Western politicians of any consequence today are selected because they’re willing to betray their people and their nations for personal gain. If the Fiend told Merkel to start a war with Russia, and she had the wherewithal to make it happen, do you think that sow would hesitate for a second?

    IOW it isn’t the stick that motivates these people, but the proverbial carrot.

    it isn’t fear of their nations being destroyed that motivates today’s Western politicians, but rather the perks and privileges (in a word; power) that these politicians enjoy that makes them willing to betray their people and nations to the tender mercies of the Fiend.

    one of the best characterizations for today’s Western politicians is that hunchback from the movie 300. He didn’t betray his people out of fear of death or even suffering, but rather so he could enjoy sexual favors and decadent privileges.

    That is why Merkel is betraying and destroying Germany. That is why John McCain and Paul Ryan are destroying their nations and condemning so many innocents to die in contrived wars.

    so they can personally be lavished with more perks

    I wish you were right, and it was out of fear of nuclear annihilation that they betray their people. That would be more palatable than seeing them betray their nations and people for a dalliance here and a liaison there.

    You make very good salient points. You are correct about the politicians not "giving a damn" about Israel's nukes. The "movers and shakers" do not give a damn about the population. However, the threat from Israel still exists. One political figure who refuses to kowtow to the Israeli line could see a city vaporized by an Israeli nuke. Just look at what happened to John F. Kennedy when he bucked the establishment "deep state"...

This strong support for Israel resembles just how American Jews continued to strongly support Stalin well into the early 1950s even though news of mass genocides in the USSR in places like the Ukraine had started to became apparent as far back as the early and mid 1930s. Jews then, as now, simply ignored the the evidence (the message) but made absolutely sure to harshly punish the messengers.

    This article, for instance, on the Ukrainian genocide of 1932-1933 (AKA The Holomador) not only got Malcolm Muggeridge, who had actually visited the Ukraine when this genocide was occurring, fired as a reporter from the Manchester Guardian Newspaper but also blacklisted for almost two decades (or more) afterwards.

    Paul Craig Roberts in “Trump’s UN Speech” writes:

    {I listened to part of Trump’s UN speech this morning. I was so embarrassed for him and for my country that I had to turn it off.
    I wonder if whoever wrote the deplorable speech intended to embarrass Trump and inadvertently embarrassed America as well, or whether the speechwriter(s) is so imbued with the neoconservative arrogance and hubris of our time that the speechwriter was simply blind to the extraordinary contradictions that stood out like sore thumbs all through the speech.}

    https://dissidentvoice.org/2017/09/trumps-un-speech/

    Doesn’t Mr. Roberts know that a ziofascist by the name of Stephen Miller is writing Trump’s garbage for the interest of the zionist Jews. The zionist Jews have already sucked blood out of another US empire to serve the jewish interest.

    Israelnationalnews “The Jew who wrote Trump’s speech” writes:

    {Stephen Miller writes Trump’s UN speech, detailing an almost biblical view of independent nations..

    Miller is 32 years old. Born in Santa Monica, California, he second son of real estate investor Michael Miller’s three children. Miller’s maternal grandparents immigrated with their daughter from Belarus in the early 1900s. Some of his family members were tailors.

    Miller received a liberal education typical of other American Jews, but adopted a more conservative perspective in high school. As a student at Duke University, Miller became active in David Horowitz’s conservative Freedom Center think tank and began to fight the silencing of conservative viewpoints.

    In January 2016, he joined Trump’s election campaign. Later the same year, he was chosen to serve as one of the President’s advisers.}

    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/235792

    The zionist jew, Stephen Miller, is not an expert in ANYTHING, he is advisor because he is a jew. He has ONLY a BA degree in liberal art, yet he is advising an illiterate zionist stooge on world issues and the complicated Middle East and writing his weaponized ‘speeches’ to boost the Jews’ interest against the interest of the rest in the world.

    This illiterate fellow copies from the garbage that comes from a baby killer, Netanyahu, and feed it to the world. The people in the middle East reject the zionist garbage when they see it, since they are knowledgeable. The comments in the region has pained trump A ZIONIST CLOWN, at the best.

    It is beyond just American Jewry, this extends into total financial global control, fashioned from the twisted playbook of a Central Bank scheme to make every nation succumb like Greece. Push has come to shove;

    "CHINA MAKES THE BIG MOVE OF THE CENTURY"

    http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?noframes;read=83560

    Hey Paul Leo Faso,

    Goldman Sachs Group wants to make its “Big Move of the Century.”

    November 2016, Wall Street Journal reported that Goldman Sachs Group is coaxing incredibly populated China to have untethered (market) investment acces$ there.

    Such initiative is helped by the ZUSA government’s big plan for an economic & military “pivot” to the Far East which of course under Obama was called the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Some might recall how candidate Trump called the trade agreement “bad” for America and vowed to do a better deal? Where is it? (SIGH)

    Today, interested ZUSA subjects hear nothing about Emperor Trump’s plan for a Far East “pivot” that will also help make America “great again.”

    However, North Korea’s “Rocket Man” has served the ZUSA government ( including Secretary Mnuchin’s beloved Goldman Sachs Group) very well by facilitating an astronomical boost of military weaponry around the China neighborhood.

    When young in Scranton, I used to hear a lot of the song, “When Irish eyes are smiling.”
    No doubt, given Kim’s relentless “craziness,” Military-Industrial-Complex eyes are smiling. Also are the G.S.G. Jewish eyes smiling.

    The Mizrahi are really NOT ARABS.

    Sephardi are not indigenous MENA Jews. They are descendants of Jews who lived in Spain and then spread north to Europe and south to the MENA.

    Mizrahi like many MENA Christians are actually descendants of the original Jews who lived in the MENA centuries before both the 650AD Arab Muslim invasion and the creation of Christianity, 2,000 years ago.

    In addition to Chaldeans, Assyrians, Berbers Yazidis, Zorastrians, , and Mizrahi Jews, there are plenty of groups in the MENA who are NOT ARABS but descendants of ancient indigenous people.
    There are also Persian Jews, an ancient and powerful group who have lived in Persia for at least 4,000 years. They have recently invaded and conquered Beverly Hills Ca.
    I know all about the Khazar theory and the Ashkenazi Jews. Why tell me about them.
    People who know little about Jews, Palestine and Jewish history generally don't know that Mizrahi Jews exist and think that they are Sephardi Jews. Like you.

    "no biological connection" presumably refers to Arthur Koestler's 13th Tribe almost-total-nonsense.

    Why repeat old stuff rehashed by ageing anti-Semites when there is DNA evidence? According to Greg Cochran Ashkenazim are have 40 to 50+ per cent of their DNA from the ME. Some Cohens will tell you, probably correctly, that their Y chromosomes can becyraced back to 500 BC.

    Two things:

    First, the above picture of Kristol brilliantly captures the smugness (see his perpetual smile) of the American Jews who are in control of the U.S. and very well know it.

    Secondly, American Jews, by and large, don't fight in the American wars they instigate. Their presence in the American armed services, percentage wise, is far below their percent representation in the general population. Their representation in combat arms is even more dismal, but, there's plenty of Jewish doctors and lawyers in the service.

    I signed induction papers to become a Marine enlisted man in 1972 and was discharged honorably as an officer in late 1979, almost 8 years of service in the infantry. I met 10's of thousands of Marines during those years...but met only one Jewish infantry officer and absolutely no Jewish enlisted men.

    It's hard to remain objective about them given these things.

    I'm delighted that Philip had the courage to write what many of us already think about them...they're cowards, have dual-loyalties and cannot be depended upon to do anything useful for America but fleece us and advance the interests of what Charles De Gaul called "That shitty little country", Israel.

    First, Semper Fi to you! Served later than you, but noticed the same thing about the Marines and other branches of the service, as I was often in joint service situations. Jews are physically chicken. The also don’t have the concept of giving back to this country, which has given them so much. My Dad was Jewish, so I might have ended up in that typical group of Jews you talk about; except for certain reasons. Saw communism up close and personal within the former East Germany and Czechoslovakia in the 1980′s. My dad was a World War Two veteran. I know he originally voted for Wendell Willie and didn’t want to go, but he was called up in the first peace time draft in 1941. I was pretty young when he died, but he was thrilled that his parents had the good sense to come here after World War One. He used to call this country “the best one in the world” So I did grow up with the idea that one day I would do something in return for this country. Couldn’t be infantry of course, I’m female, but proud that I went.

    There is not a whisper of defiance in the Jew community. There may be intra tribal debates – but nothing public. “American Jews” act as one.

    sorry.
    no can do.

    All Jews in the USA need to be made to feel extremely uncomfortable.

    A week or so ago a US Congressional committee held a hearing on Syria. More than two or three of the reps said things like, "There are good Muslims and bad Muslims. We need to persuade the good Muslims to call out the bad Muslims."

    In other words, in the view of the US Congress it is appropriate -- necessary, even, to put the entire Muslim community under the microscope so that we inherently good Americans may pass judgment on them, and also so that Muslim A can be induced to rat out Muslim B.

    I couldn't believe it.

    But if that's the way things work according to US Congress, then I see no reason why the same system should not apply to Jews, all American Jews. And given the cosmopolitanism of Jews, maybe not just American Jews but ALL Jews should be put under the microscope, examined and judged, and required to call out those of their number who offend against American interests.

    If the Jews were more introspective and self-critical rather than always hiding behind charges of anti-semitism to deflect any and all blames so they don't have to change their behavior, perhaps they wouldn't be so unpopular today.

  366. What we really need to understand is that these fr**King NeoCon Artists are deliberately pushing for the deaths of bombs in the United States forcing both China and Russia into war.

    Known or not it was atheist Jewish extracts that created the Bolshevik revolution that killed 10s of millions Christian Russians.

    Equally it was the drive of Jewish influence in Russian, Great Brittain, United States media control that created the hate everything German which allowed for the civilian bombing of all major German cities killing over 20 million Germans during WW2.

    Trust me: NeoCons don’t care a wit how many Americans die.

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    killery was less of a hawk on Iran? Please. Too, put this in your peace pipe and smoke it: “I know the blasphemy of those who say they Jews and are not but are s synagogue of Satan.”. Jesus rev. 2:9. Was that alt-right or alt-left? It was dead center and right on the mark.

    Yes, in fact, Hillary was less hawkish on Iran. She supported (but was not enthusiastic about) the Iran deal, and in any case she would have had at least some Obama loyalists in her administration pushing her to preserve it. Trump not only apparently personally opposes the deal, but almost the entirety of his administration and party is pushing him to oppose it.

    It is, historically speaking, not a good idea to airily dismiss the word of hostile nations. Iran is not exactly friendly toward the U.S., is it?

    This report from farsi news-reporting:
    http://www.resalat-news.com/fa/?code=251219

    A look at the speech reveals something ominous. What Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, actually threatened was that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically and said Iran could flatten it.

    don’t insult our intelligence, Sam.

    Your link goes to a page in Farsi. You speak Farsi? Didn’t think so.

    Here’s an example:
    If I roll over that steaming pile of deer poo in the driveway I could flatten it, but I would not do that because it would leave a stain on the pavers.

    See the difference, Sam (and Michael)? It’s about ability vs intention.

    ———–

    As for your highly insightful and erudite commentary, about “Iran not being very friendly toward USA,” I had a bit of a conversation with Sebastian Gorky some months ago (before Gorky was hired then fired by the Trump). Gorky said that Iran was a threat to the USA; I suggested that Gorky look at a map and count the bases USA had surrounding Iran, then tally up the bases that Iran had on or around US territory. “What is Iran doing to USA, that USA should aim so many guns at Iran, on its own home turf,” I asked SG.
    Honest to god — I have it on record — Gorky came near to popping a blood vessel when he screamed in my face: “Iran says Death to America!”
    For that reason, USA should maintain Iran in the crosshairs of 36 military bases, about which, in your cribbed view, Iran should be totally complacent.

    Well, why should we take lightly the words and intentions of you Supreme Leader and his Advisors as anything but a threat? They did say very similar things [Khomeini was exhorting his followers from Paris] months prior to taking over the U.S. embassy in '79.

    As for speaking Farsi, I do speak some [time spent in the Gulf] and Khatib's writing is a very helpful paraphrase of what was said. You've got a shitty translator. That's all. I've got a far better one evidently. Let me give you a direct translation :

    A member of the National Security and Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament said that 36 US military bases are in Iran's missile systems. According to Fars Qom, Hojatoleslam Mujtaba Zolnour said during the commemoration of the day of the mobilization of industrial engineers with an emphasis on the achievement of the field of influence. : The leadership has kept the country away from this influence, but now it is also a serious threat to the Iranian nation, and the resolutions that it is said to have been abrogated have led to other problems and, in fact, the threat to the enemy has become more and more complete

    Seriously, S2C. inflated intellectual "experts" like Sebastian Gorky never cease to amaze!

    How does one possessing high IQ and a good (stilted) education engage another with similar traits, and (mindlessly) screams, "Iran says death to America!"

    W.T.F.?

    Everywhere one looks in The Corporate Media, an intelligent, well spoken / groomed & charismatic person appears in front of the American consumer and triumphantly tells lies.

Consider that these bankers control all Central banks for almost all countries. The world is enslaved moving towards their one world government, which is pure evil. Americans are slowly waking up, but most unfortunately are still asleep. Although it’s tough to blame them. They’re propagandized 24/7 by the banker’s controlled media, hollywood and education (indoctrination) system.

    Reverend Mother Marcy, like all too many goyim commenters on various sites really doesn't know much about American and Israeli Jews.

    Their supreme ignorance is that a few anti Zionist Jews have any influence whatsoever on the Zionist Jews.

    There are no secular or reform Jews who want to see the end of the state of Israel. A few, very very few Orthodox Jews do not approve of the state of Israel for obscure religious reasons. But most of them live in Israel, do not work and live on welfare.

    So they, like the Rabbi in the video don't want to the state of Israel go back to Palestine. You saw the Yeshiva "scholars" didn't you? They will not do a lick of work their entire lives and neither will their wives except to collect welfare.

    There are some Jews who object to the treatment of Palestinians. But 99 percent of them are totally in favor of the state of Israel.

    Hey RobinG,

    Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (ra) was a Companion (ra) of the Prophet (pbuh). The hadith you are referring to is basically a reiteration of a verse of Qur'an that denounces some Jews for claiming "Uzayr" is the son of God. There honestly aren't a whole lot of details in the authentic sources and I have read various explanations by the scholars. The one that makes the most sense to me is that there was a (now-extinct) heretical group living among the Jews in the Hijaz that had developed due to isolation from major Jewish learning centers and being surrounded by pagans - only God knows, barring any discovery of major new evidence on the matter.

    Probably the most comprehensive write-up (at least in English) that I have come across is the one from Prof. Jonathan Brown:
    http://almadinainstitute.org/blog/the-quran-the-jews-and-ezra-as-the-son-of-god/

    As far as Ezra (assuming this "Uzayr" in the Qur'an is referring to him), he was a major Jewish priest in the time after the Babylonian Exile:
    http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/ezra-the-scribe

    Peace.

    TY Prof. T.! It’s good to know it’s a bit of a mystery, because I never heard of any Jews believing there was a son of God. But then the name thing… This came from a footnote in a Quran. They have Ezra in parens, (like that is the English translation of Uzayr), so not a separate person. Or is this Jewish priest the same ‘son of God’?
    Well, that is really more than I care about. It was just so odd to read, it really suffices that it referred to an isolated sect, and not some whole secret train of thought that I was unaware of.
    Peace, indeed.

    Hey RobinG,

    not some whole secret train of thought that I was unaware of
     
    Nah! I can't think of a single scholar who thought this applied to all Jews in general - it most certainly did not.

    The nuance is found when you accept certain aspects about the Arabic language and rhetoric. According to the rules of rhetoric, it is completely fine to state "the Jews" or "the people" any either of the following cases; 1) when all of the group is meant, 2) when some of the group is meant, 3) when just one of the group is meant. The context must be explored in order to determine the intention.

    In fact, one might say a similar discussion is going on in this thread regarding Mr. Giraldi's use of the phrase "American Jews" in his title; context and intention is key.

    Languages are quirky like that and don't translate well always. For instance, it is a completely valid grammatical statement in Arabic (and the sentence has its own qualification) to say something like; all the men left the room except the cat.

    Peace.
    , @Talha
    Sorry, missed the editing window...

    Or is this Jewish priest the same ‘son of God’?
     
    Ezra is certainly the front runner, could also have been men like:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzziah
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azariah_(prophet)

    We don't really know because, those people are gone (like some of the heretical ancient Christian strains) - unless we find something new in an archaeological dig or something. In fact, I don't even think there is external evidence for any historical Jewish presence - period - in the Hijaz other than Muslim sources. I think they were completely off the grid.

    sorry.
    no can do.

    All Jews in the USA need to be made to feel extremely uncomfortable.

    A week or so ago a US Congressional committee held a hearing on Syria. More than two or three of the reps said things like, “There are good Muslims and bad Muslims. We need to persuade the good Muslims to call out the bad Muslims.”

    In other words, in the view of the US Congress it is appropriate — necessary, even, to put the entire Muslim community under the microscope so that we inherently good Americans may pass judgment on them, and also so that Muslim A can be induced to rat out Muslim B.

    I couldn’t believe it.

    But if that’s the way things work according to US Congress, then I see no reason why the same system should not apply to Jews, all American Jews. And given the cosmopolitanism of Jews, maybe not just American Jews but ALL Jews should be put under the microscope, examined and judged, and required to call out those of their number who offend against American interests.

    I have seen Breitbart described as a psyops operation using Cass Sunstein’s cognitive infiltration method. It infiltrated the alternative media in order to neutralize it, by injecting stale old establishment talking points (such as that Iran poses an “existential threat” to Israel) under right cover. Breitbart News, posing as part of the alt-Right, has thus repolarized audiences that were increasingly seeing through the bipartisan control that corporate-financial special interests hold over Western society. The frequent reference to Breitbart as alt-Right by the mainstream media closes the circle of deception: the MSM audience is left in no doubt that Breitbart is beyond the pale and can be safely ignored, while Breitbart’s immense crowd of dupes, reassured that they form part of a breakaway movement, remain trapped in their silo.

    Occupation of the American Mind:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7BBIhzI1Qc

    In the first part, Sut Jahlly, at about 7 min, Jhally introduces Frank Luntz and the manual he prepared in 2009, The Global Language Dictionary. Jhally reviews key points and processes taught through the GLD https://www.transcend.org/tms/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/sf-israel-projects-2009-global-language-dictionary.pdf

    @ 16 min, narrates how the devastating images of Israel's killing activities in Lebanon in 1982 -- its war against Lebanon, then the massacre at Sabra and Shatilla, which were broadcast round the world, were the near-equivalent of the concentration camp images that US psychological warfare practitioners used to such long-lasting effect against Germany.
    Jhally says:

    “In the aftermath of Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and the devastating slaughter at Sabra and Shattila, . . . Israelis realized they were losing the perserception that Israel was weak plucky David. . . .

    “In 1984 a conference was convened in Jerusalem to devise a public relations strategy known as Hasbara. [screen image = cover of 1984 “The American Jewish Congress Monthly,” ] Participants included PR and advertising executives, media specialists, journalists, and leaders of major Jewish groups. According to a brochure from the Congress, no single event brought home the need for hasbara or information program more persuasively than the 1982 war in Lebanon and the events that followed. As one conference participant put it, Israel is no longer perceived to be Little David, but Goliath steamrolling across the map.

    The primary aim of the conference was to develop strategies to spin unpopular Israeli policies, and to counter negative press coverage by shaping the media frame in advance.

    “News doesn’t just jump into a camera,” a conference delegate said; “It’s directed, it’s managed, it’s made accessible.” Israel-based advertising executive Martin Fenton would put it in even more blunt terms: “Propaganda is not a dirty word,” he said. “Face it, we are in the game of changing people’s minds, making them think differently. To accomplish that, we need propaganda."

    The conference was chaired by U S advertising executive Carl Spielvogel, the legendary advertising man who created the highly acclaimed Miller Light beer ads in the 1970s.

    . . .

    The choice of Spielvogel makes perfect sense: he’s known as a master of image inversion and re-branding; responsible for transforming Miller Life to a manly beer that tough guys would drink.

    His job with Israel would require the same kind of rebranding, only in the opposite direction: to help soften the image of a country that’s coming to be seen as a bully. Spielvogel recommends creating a Cabinet post dedicated exclusively to explaining policy, whose job would not be setting policy but presenting it in the most attractive way to the rest of the world.

    (Norman Soloman):“Classic PR is to say, the problem is not the policy, it’s the presentation. When the policies are so reprehensible that many people become critical, rather than acknowledging that there’s anything wrong with the policy there is a doubling down on the PR effort.

    After Lebanon you start to see the basic hasbara in action."

    If an article titled "America's Jews are Behind America's Wars" isn't unhinged and bigoted, I'd like you to tell me what is. If Trump's insane rhetoric on Iran and push for war isn't an example of bloodlust, why don't you tell me what it is? Instead sitting there gaping with your mouth open. And if you have any substantive point to make that doesn't consist of acting shocked and offended and triggered by my word choice, feel free to make it.

    That is the argument of a cretin. Would the article’s title still be “unhinged and bigoted”, if it were actually true ?

    Thought so.

    TY Prof. T.! It's good to know it's a bit of a mystery, because I never heard of any Jews believing there was a son of God. But then the name thing... This came from a footnote in a Quran. They have Ezra in parens, (like that is the English translation of Uzayr), so not a separate person. Or is this Jewish priest the same 'son of God'?
    Well, that is really more than I care about. It was just so odd to read, it really suffices that it referred to an isolated sect, and not some whole secret train of thought that I was unaware of.

    Hey RobinG,

    not some whole secret train of thought that I was unaware of

    Nah! I can’t think of a single scholar who thought this applied to all Jews in general – it most certainly did not.

    The nuance is found when you accept certain aspects about the Arabic language and rhetoric. According to the rules of rhetoric, it is completely fine to state “the Jews” or “the people” any either of the following cases; 1) when all of the group is meant, 2) when some of the group is meant, 3) when just one of the group is meant. The context must be explored in order to determine the intention.

    In fact, one might say a similar discussion is going on in this thread regarding Mr. Giraldi’s use of the phrase “American Jews” in his title; context and intention is key.

    Languages are quirky like that and don’t translate well always. For instance, it is a completely valid grammatical statement in Arabic (and the sentence has its own qualification) to say something like; all the men left the room except the cat.

    Peace.

    Israel holds a “Damocles sword” over the rest of the world–most politicians “in the know” realize this.
    THIS is the major reason that Israel can get away with just about anything.
     
    I must take a slight issue with this characterization anarchist

    I honestly don't believe that the world's politicians slavishly serve Jews and Israel out of fear for their lives or their cities. Most of the world's politicians would happily see their cities reduced to rubble if it meant a few more shekels in their pockets and reelection, even to lord it over the rubble.

    Merkel for instance, or take McCain. Would ether of these politicians lose a moment's sleep if their nations were to become desolate hell-holes of despair and death? I rather think they'd applaud such an outcome, so long as they personally held on to positions of power.

    Would Hillary give one whit if Idaho were nuked by Israel? I suspect she'd cackle at it.

    Bill presided over the holocaust in Waco, where the people he was responsible for protecting from harm were burned alive by his goons, including the children. Do you think such a man cares about the American people?! Hell no he doesn't, that's why ((they)) chose him.

    Did Dubya care about the people in NYC on 9/11? Or the tens of thousands of Americans who either died or were maimed in his wars? Did you see him joking about the missing WMD?

    all Western politicians of any consequence today are selected because they're willing to betray their people and their nations for personal gain. If the Fiend told Merkel to start a war with Russia, and she had the wherewithal to make it happen, do you think that sow would hesitate for a second?

    IOW it isn't the stick that motivates these people, but the proverbial carrot.

    it isn't fear of their nations being destroyed that motivates today's Western politicians, but rather the perks and privileges (in a word; power) that these politicians enjoy that makes them willing to betray their people and nations to the tender mercies of the Fiend.

    one of the best characterizations for today's Western politicians is that hunchback from the movie 300. He didn't betray his people out of fear of death or even suffering, but rather so he could enjoy sexual favors and decadent privileges.

    That is why Merkel is betraying and destroying Germany. That is why John McCain and Paul Ryan are destroying their nations and condemning so many innocents to die in contrived wars.

    so they can personally be lavished with more perks

    I wish you were right, and it was out of fear of nuclear annihilation that they betray their people. That would be more palatable than seeing them betray their nations and people for a dalliance here and a liaison there.

    You make very good salient points. You are correct about the politicians not “giving a damn” about Israel’s nukes. The “movers and shakers” do not give a damn about the population. However, the threat from Israel still exists. One political figure who refuses to kowtow to the Israeli line could see a city vaporized by an Israeli nuke. Just look at what happened to John F. Kennedy when he bucked the establishment “deep state”…

    I wonder where Mr. Giraldi would put David Horowitz on the list? Although Horowitz is not a public policy maker, but rather an author and blogger, but definitely is a known Jewish voice. I respect Horowitz tremendously because of his background as an ex-Communist and his dead-on criticism of the American Left, both historically and currently. Although rather knee-jerk in his defense of Israel, I would not doubt his loyalty to this country one iota. I do not know if David Horowitz is a dual Israeli-American citizen, but he is not a legislator nor a government policy maker, so as far as I am concerned, the issue is moot. If one questions the loyalty to America, of Jews or any other group for that matter, the issue of holding dual citizenship while holding certain government offices should be something of concern. Once out of public office or service, then they can resume their dual citizenship. It makes the issue of loyalty less questionable.

    David Horowitz’ promotion of Israeli myths is a disservice to America. He obscures, falsifies, bastardizes history. This is directly harmful to Americans, who endorse criminal foreign policy because they are so radically misinformed.

Knowles works with Ben Shapiro at The Daily Wire. Shapiro is a big-time Neocon and is a "one issue" guy. That makes Knowles part of the controlled-media dialectic. Knowles mocks Palestinians on his Twitter account but at the same time invokes the Blessed Sacrament and Saint Peter in this specific YouTube video. Catholics should find Knowles as offensive as Colbert considering they both support Israel's terrorism and ethnic cleansing. http://thedialog.org/gazas-christians-work-together-to-stay-safe/

    Yet, in a classic, paradox-tinged pro-Israel loop-back, the ‘alt-Right’ and ‘white nationalist’ movement, is increasing positive links with security-fence-building, also-ethnic-nationalist Israel
     
    Steve Bannon and his supposed alt-right rag Breitbart are incredibly pro-Israel. I supposed it has something to do with its founder Andrew Breitbart being a Jew. Every time Trump or Nikki Haley says something nasty about Iran, you'll get plenty of Breitbart commenters echoing their sentiment egging them on, you can tell by their inane comments many have no idea why they should hate Iran, other than Breitbart told them to. They've fully bought into the Breitbart narrative that Iran is evil and must be destroyed. The Trump fan boys/girls who continue to blindly support him despite all his betrayals are every bit as stupid as the libtards they claim to hate.

    Breitbart was a JINO, in name only. Actually more closely ethnically related to .. Steve Bannon and The Donald.

    He was adopted at three weeks old and raised Jewish but became agnostic. His biological parents had been Irish American. He said that his birth certificate indicated his biological father was a folk singer. His adoptive mother had converted to Judaism when marrying his adoptive father. – Liepedia

    Not even a real Jewish mother to love him. A convert. Oh dear how sad never mind.
    The real puzzle is – of the three, Trump, Bannon or Breitbart, who is the most assiduous Zionist?

    Mizrahi relates to Arab jews. Ashkenszia relates to the larger body of jews from central Europe which has occupied Wall Street and Israel. They have no biological connection with either Shepardic or Mizrahi. The Ashkenzia jewish faith was imposed by their ruler.

    The Mizrahi are really NOT ARABS.

    Sephardi are not indigenous MENA Jews. They are descendants of Jews who lived in Spain and then spread north to Europe and south to the MENA.

    Mizrahi like many MENA Christians are actually descendants of the original Jews who lived in the MENA centuries before both the 650AD Arab Muslim invasion and the creation of Christianity, 2,000 years ago.

    In addition to Chaldeans, Assyrians, Berbers Yazidis, Zorastrians, , and Mizrahi Jews, there are plenty of groups in the MENA who are NOT ARABS but descendants of ancient indigenous people.
    There are also Persian Jews, an ancient and powerful group who have lived in Persia for at least 4,000 years. They have recently invaded and conquered Beverly Hills Ca.
    I know all about the Khazar theory and the Ashkenazi Jews. Why tell me about them.

    Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the IRGC actually threatened that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically, and said Iran could flatten it.

    Here's an example:
    If I roll over that steaming pile of deer poo in the driveway I could flatten it, but I would not do that because it would leave a stain on the pavers.

    See the difference, Sam (and Michael)? It's about ability vs intention.

    -----------

    As for your highly insightful and erudite commentary, about "Iran not being very friendly toward USA," I had a bit of a conversation with Sebastian Gorky some months ago (before Gorky was hired then fired by the Trump). Gorky said that Iran was a threat to the USA; I suggested that Gorky look at a map and count the bases USA had surrounding Iran, then tally up the bases that Iran had on or around US territory. "What is Iran doing to USA, that USA should aim so many guns at Iran, on its own home turf," I asked SG.
    Honest to god -- I have it on record -- Gorky came near to popping a blood vessel when he screamed in my face: "Iran says Death to America!"
    For that reason, USA should maintain Iran in the crosshairs of 36 military bases, about which, in your cribbed view, Iran should be totally complacent.

    What Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, actually threatened was that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically and said Iran could flatten it

    .

    Well, why should we take lightly the words and intentions of you Supreme Leader and his Advisors as anything but a threat? They did say very similar things [Khomeini was exhorting his followers from Paris] months prior to taking over the U.S. embassy in ’79.

    As for speaking Farsi, I do speak some [time spent in the Gulf] and Khatib’s writing is a very helpful paraphrase of what was said. You’ve got a shitty translator. That’s all. I’ve got a far better one evidently. Let me give you a direct translation :

    A member of the National Security and Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament said that 36 US military bases are in Iran’s missile systems. According to Fars Qom, Hojatoleslam Mujtaba Zolnour said during the commemoration of the day of the mobilization of industrial engineers with an emphasis on the achievement of the field of influence. : The leadership has kept the country away from this influence, but now it is also a serious threat to the Iranian nation, and the resolutions that it is said to have been abrogated have led to other problems and, in fact, the threat to the enemy has become more and more complete

    Hey Wulf,

    Speaking about the “Muslim ban”, what do you think about it?
     
    It wasn't a "Muslim ban" - it was obviously targeted towards certain Muslim countries while exempting others. Calling it a "Muslim ban" was the Left trying to shift the parameters of the discussion.

    As I posted a long time ago...
    Every nation has a right to set immigration policies it feels are best for its future. If the people of the US decided they only wanted nubile Brazilian women with certain chest and hip ratios – it is fully within their rights.

    I'm not an SJW Muslim, I don't get triggered by people trying to keep Muslims out of Western countries. With the way certain Muslims behave when allowed into secular-free societies, it may actually be doing them a favor (for their spiritual well-being and afterlife) if they are kept in societies that have rules to keep their behavior in check if they are not spiritually mature enough to do it themselves.

    sarcastic comments on the origins of Trump’s Iranophobic sentiments
     
    I clarified on post #211.

    I'm not a fan of Trump - but that's not because I'm a Leftist - I simply have very high standards on who I am willing to support on the issue of running the country. Trump won because he's not Hillary.

Catholics should find Knowles as offensive as Colbert considering they both support Israel's terrorism and ethnic cleansing. http://thedialog.org/gazas-christians-work-together-to-stay-safe/

    Speaking about the "Muslim ban", what do you think about it?

    I understand - judging by your sarcastic comments on the origins of Trump's Iranophobic sentiments - you feel offended by the failed ban attempt?

    Hey Wulf,

    Speaking about the “Muslim ban”, what do you think about it?

    It wasn’t a “Muslim ban” – it was obviously targeted towards certain Muslim countries while exempting others. Calling it a “Muslim ban” was the Left trying to shift the parameters of the discussion.

    As I posted a long time ago…
    Every nation has a right to set immigration policies it feels are best for its future. If the people of the US decided they only wanted nubile Brazilian women with certain chest and hip ratios – it is fully within their rights.

    I’m not an SJW Muslim, I don’t get triggered by people trying to keep Muslims out of Western countries. With the way certain Muslims behave when allowed into secular-free societies, it may actually be doing them a favor (for their spiritual well-being and afterlife) if they are kept in societies that have rules to keep their behavior in check if they are not spiritually mature enough to do it themselves.

    sarcastic comments on the origins of Trump’s Iranophobic sentiments

    I clarified on post #211.

    I’m not a fan of Trump – but that’s not because I’m a Leftist – I simply have very high standards on who I am willing to support on the issue of running the country. Trump won because he’s not Hillary.

    The Mizrahi are really NOT ARABS.

    Sephardi are not indigenous MENA Jews. They are descendants of Jews who lived in Spain and then spread north to Europe and south to the MENA.

    Mizrahi like many MENA Christians are actually descendants of the original Jews who lived in the MENA centuries before both the 650AD Arab Muslim invasion and the creation of Christianity, 2,000 years ago.

    In addition to Chaldeans, Assyrians, Berbers Yazidis, Zorastrians, , and Mizrahi Jews, there are plenty of groups in the MENA who are NOT ARABS but descendants of ancient indigenous people.
    There are also Persian Jews, an ancient and powerful group who have lived in Persia for at least 4,000 years. They have recently invaded and conquered Beverly Hills Ca.
    I know all about the Khazar theory and the Ashkenazi Jews. Why tell me about them.
    People who know little about Jews, Palestine and Jewish history generally don't know that Mizrahi Jews exist and think that they are Sephardi Jews. Like you.

    The Mizrahi are really NOT ARABS.

    Sephardi are not indigenous MENA Jews. They are descendants of Jews who lived in Spain and then spread north to Europe and south to the MENA

    Answering Tucker Carlson: Why Iran is a grave threat to the US


    comment by Michael Khattib
    Jul 14
    Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the IRGC actually threatened that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically, and said Iran could flatten it.
     
    here's what Sam Shama wrote (pasted):

    A look at the speech reveals something ominous. What Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, actually threatened was that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically and said Iran could flatten it.

    Just like reindeer poo: one steaming pile looks just like every other steaming pile.

    btw, neither one of you steaming piles -- not Michael nor Sam -- seems to know the difference between could and would:

    could, simple past tense of can, where can means
    to be able to; have the ability, power, or skill to:

    the online dictionary cautions against confusing with, or misusing for, or misinterpreting could with

    is determined or sure to (used emphatically)

    Here's an example:
    If I roll over that steaming pile of deer poo in the driveway I could flatten it, but I would not do that because it would leave a stain on the pavers.

    See the difference, Sam (and Michael)? It's about ability vs intention.

    -----------

    As for your highly insightful and erudite commentary, about "Iran not being very friendly toward USA," I had a bit of a conversation with Sebastian Gorky some months ago (before Gorky was hired then fired by the Trump). Gorky said that Iran was a threat to the USA; I suggested that Gorky look at a map and count the bases USA had surrounding Iran, then tally up the bases that Iran had on or around US territory. "What is Iran doing to USA, that USA should aim so many guns at Iran, on its own home turf," I asked SG.
    Honest to god -- I have it on record -- Gorky came near to popping a blood vessel when he screamed in my face: "Iran says Death to America!"
    For that reason, USA should maintain Iran in the crosshairs of 36 military bases, about which, in your cribbed view, Iran should be totally complacent.

    “… steaming reindeer poo piles, Michael and Sam.”

    SolontoCroesus,

    I respect your satoric words (above) and I predict Sam The Sham might return spin the image thusly,

    “The amazing economic advantage inherent in reindeer droppings emote remarkably high b.t.u. value and is a fine byproduct to undergo a groundbreaking scientific Jewish ‘Fuels Blending’ process in combination with Mount Tabor-scale piles of (high octane) Siberian elk- herd dung that Sarah Palin obsequiously first observed from a Juneau-based chalet during the solar eclipse… she said, ‘Geewillikers, wait ’til McCain hears this, blah, blah, blah.”

    Seriously, S2C. inflated intellectual “experts” like Sebastian Gorky never cease to amaze!

    How does one possessing high IQ and a good (stilted) education engage another with similar traits, and (mindlessly) screams, “Iran says death to America!”

    W.T.F.?

    Everywhere one looks in The Corporate Media, an intelligent, well spoken / groomed & charismatic person appears in front of the American consumer and triumphantly tells lies.

    Hundreds of shit elite media examples!

    What is going on here? Methinks it boils down to the Jewish money outla and career advancement opportinity built into the lying job description. But why does affluent Sam The Sham Shama sarin gas reality? (Sigh) I know that he’s just a “bad” Hasbara hombre.

    Amazing how the Bolshevik official rag spawned samizdat and now the totalitarian MSM has sprouted where we now write?

    PLEASE stop saying “American Jews” when what you really mean is “American Zionists.” Not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews.

    PLEASE - where are the Jew voices in America that do not support their tribal agenda?

    There is not a whisper of defiance in the Jew community. There may be intra tribal debates – but nothing public. “American Jews” act as one.

    US Jews are mostly all cowards (99%) when it comes to openly and publicly condemning anything Israel does. They fear each other – they fear their Big Jews.

    Together as a tribe, US Jews terrorize any truth seeking American who questions Israel. They threaten their livelihood with anti-Semite charges.

    US Jews call themselves “American Jews” because in their mind they are separate from the rest of us.

    Reverend Mother Marcy, like all too many goyim commenters on various sites really doesn’t know much about American and Israeli Jews.

    Their supreme ignorance is that a few anti Zionist Jews have any influence whatsoever on the Zionist Jews.

    There are no secular or reform Jews who want to see the end of the state of Israel. A few, very very few Orthodox Jews do not approve of the state of Israel for obscure religious reasons. But most of them live in Israel, do not work and live on welfare.

    So they, like the Rabbi in the video don’t want to the state of Israel go back to Palestine. You saw the Yeshiva “scholars” didn’t you? They will not do a lick of work their entire lives and neither will their wives except to collect welfare.

    There are some Jews who object to the treatment of Palestinians. But 99 percent of them are totally in favor of the state of Israel.

    I don't believe that asinine comment by a dopey U.S. general compares to the brutal, horrific carnage that British generals inflicted on brave Australian men by using them as cannon fodder during first half of the 20th century. And you are 100% correct about U.S. reliability, just look at the current Ukrainian fiasco (started by a U.S. 1994 agreement), Muammar Khaddafi, Hosni Mubarek, & Sirik Matak (which is the saddest) among countless others. I think it may have been Bernard Lewis that said, "The U.S. is harmless as an enemy, but treacherous as a friend." https://www.steynonline.com/6417/harmless-as-an-enemy-treacherous-as-a-friend

    Thanks for nice Bernard Lewis quote which I shall happily accept as genuine despite BL being Jewish and therefore specially liable to be subjected to fake quotes. I don’t think the Brits treated Australians as worse cannon fodder than their own in the early 20th century. Despite Churchill’s understandable ruling class preference for Imperial Indian interests over anything to do with those low class colonials lots of upper and upper middle class English men (and women) knew the young Australia and appreciated it, not least for the money they had made.

    If you rely on the impression given by Peter Weir’s ?(David Williamson’s) film “Gallipoli” that it was an English officer giving the fatal order for the worst suicidal attack then you have been, like many of us, taken in by the voìce – which was not untypical of the kiñd of officer class Australian who actually gave the order. More generally, Australians and other Dominion troops tended to be physically bigger and fitter than the English and often from a rural background of familiarity with guns and observing terrain. They weren’t so much used as cannon fodder (none on the dreadful first day of the Somme I think) as chosen for the tough battles necause they were good – and all volunteers. Indeed Australia had largely managed to get its troops in France out of the clutches of inadequate professional British generals by forming a corps under Gen. John Monash whom Lloyd George wrote up in his memoirs as the general who should have become British Commander-in-Chief in 1919. (My first boss, snorted at this when I quoted it though he had known and enormously admired Monash – a quote ” any – presumably plaintiff’s – solicitor who hadn’t – pre WW1 – retained Monash as expert [engineering] witness was prima facie guilty of negligence”. Monash was the son of Prussian Jewish immigrants who went to Scotch College and built up a big civil engineering business while advancing as part time soldier. My said first boss was quite capable of making generalisations about Jews which weren’t entirely favourable but for honourable character I think he would have put Monash and Lloyd George at opposite poles, which explaìned the snort).

    Hey, even better! Thanks for the link.... that shows Bernie advocating US take direct action for regime change of a sovereign nation. (And on the no-fly zone, I'm pretty sure that's either a flip or a flop.)

    ".... our fight is to destroy ISIS first, and to get rid of Assad second." Bernie Sanders
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaj7H_o11tw&app=desktop

    If Sanders ever advocated a no-fly zone, you should be able to find him doing so somewhere in the public record. Of course, the reason you haven’t produced any such example is because there isn’t one. Since you were so sure that Sanders had advocated a no-fly zone, this just confirms that you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and should probably shut up forever.

    As for Sanders advocating the removal of Assad through “negotiated settlement”, yes, he has advocated this, but everyone knows that he would have no power to do this unless military force was used, which Sanders opposes. So it’s meaningless boilerplate. Besides, we’re not talking about whether Sanders is great on foreign policy (I agree he isn’t), we’re talking about whether he would have been better than Trump. I think it’s clear he would be. Trump has not only, at times, talked about removing Assad, he’s actually attacked Assad with military force 6 times so far, without even Congressional approval. Sanders is pretty bad on foreign policy, but it would be hard for him to be worse than Trump.

    Yet, in a classic, paradox-tinged pro-Israel loop-back, the 'alt-Right' and 'white nationalist' movement, is increasing positive links with security-fence-building, also-ethnic-nationalist Israel:


    US alt-right leader, Richard Spencer, appeared on Israeli TV last month to call himself a “white Zionist”

     

    The above from an interesting article by British activist and Nazareth, Palestine resident Jonathan Cook, speaking of how Israel's Netanyahu is making an alliance with even the anti-Semitic Western alt-right, with the instinct to show all other Jews that Israel is their only home & safe haven ... and hence the 'progressive' Jews should abandon any support for boycott of Israel or for Palestinian rights:


    The Israeli prime minister has repeatedly called on all Jews to come to Israel, claiming it as the only safe haven from an immutable global anti-semitism. And yet, Mr Netanyahu is also introducing a political test before he opens the door.

    Jews supporting a boycott of Israel are already barred. Now, liberal Jews and critics of the occupation like Mr Soros are increasingly not welcome either. Israel is rapidly redefining the extent of the sanctuary it offers – for Jewish supremacists only.

    For Mr Netanyahu may believe he has much to gain by abandoning liberal Jews to their fate, as the alt-right asserts its power in western capitals.

    The “white Zionists” are committed to making life ever harder for minorities in the West in a bid to be rid of them. Sooner or later, on Mr Netanyahu’s logic, liberal Jews will face a reckoning. They will have to accept that Israel’s ultra-nationalists were right all along, and that Israel is their only sanctuary.

    Guided by this cynical convergence of interests, Jewish and white supremacists are counting on a revival of anti-Semitism that will benefit them both.

     

    Does the ideological consistency of the goyim confuse you? Why wouldn’t an ethnic-nationalist support other ethnic-nationalists? So far as I can tell, all the hostility to Israel from the right stems from the fact that “right wing,” (neoconservative) Jews have shamelessly supported ethnic-nationalism in Israel while demanding even a shadow of civic nationalism be stomped out and suppressed anywhere else. What possible problem could Zionists have with supporting whites in their own struggle to stem a brown tide of violent neighbors? Chutzpah is going to be the end of us.

    Mizrahi relates to Arab jews. Ashkenszia relates to the larger body of jews from central Europe which has occupied Wall Street and Israel. They have no biological connection with either Shepardic or Mizrahi. The Ashkenzia jewish faith was imposed by their ruler.

    “no biological connection” presumably refers to Arthur Koestler’s 13th Tribe almost-total-nonsense.

    Why repeat old stuff rehashed by ageing anti-Semites when there is DNA evidence? According to Greg Cochran Ashkenazim are have 40 to 50+ per cent of their DNA from the ME. Some Cohens will tell you, probably correctly, that their Y chromosomes can becyraced back to 500 BC.

    It’s awfully hard to condemn Jews when one worships them.
     
    And, this is how they view one essential element of your faith... those f-cking ingrates;

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we're a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    We still remember our response when the Holy Trinity was first explained to us. We were astounded how fucked up this whole thing is. So G-d is Jesus' father, but they are also one and the same? How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then... who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that's who. Yeah, we just don't get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn't that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d's spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

    [this part too sick to paste here]

    Sorry, Christians. It's all poppycock to us.

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we’re a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    Why is monotheism inherently better than polytheism? Is it more or less likely to be true based on our current understanding of our universe? Part of the reason I think Yeshuanity and Mohamsterism are so screwed up is that they are both alien mythologies overlaid upon existing native mythologies – so solstices become Yeshuan holy days etc. Catholics hold some bizarre rituals like the cannibalistic eating the body of Yeshua but at least they built some interesting temples.

    For those who think that the universe was created, monotheism is better than polytheism because monotheism best describes the physical universe. The universe is consistent, its rules of organization are the same everywhere.

    An atom of hydrogen is the same everywhere in the universe. Logically if there were different gods then atoms of hydrogen would have different makeups.

Despite Churchill's understandable ruling class preference for Imperial Indian interests over anything to do with those low class colonials lots of upper and upper middle class English men (and women) knew the young Australia and appreciated it, not least for the money they had made.

    If you rely on the impression given by Peter Weir's ?(David Williamson's) film "Gallipoli" that it was an English officer giving the fatal order for the worst suicidal attack then you have been, like many of us, taken in by the voìce - which was not untypical of the kiñd of officer class Australian who actually gave the order. More generally, Australians and other Dominion troops tended to be physically bigger and fitter than the English and often from a rural background of familiarity with guns and observing terrain. They weren't so much used as cannon fodder (none on the dreadful first day of the Somme I think) as chosen for the tough battles necause they were good - and all volunteers. Indeed Australia had largely managed to get its troops in France out of the clutches of inadequate professional British generals by forming a corps under Gen. John Monash whom Lloyd George wrote up in his memoirs as the general who should have become British Commander-in-Chief in 1919. (My first boss, snorted at this when I quoted it though he had known and enormously admired Monash - a quote " any - presumably plaintiff's - solicitor who hadn't - pre WW1 - retained Monash as expert [engineering] witness was prima facie guilty of negligence". Monash was the son of Prussian Jewish immigrants who went to Scotch College and built up a big civil engineering business while advancing as part time soldier. My said first boss was quite capable of making generalisations about Jews which weren't entirely favourable but for honourable character I think he would have put Monash and Lloyd George at opposite poles, which explaìned the snort).

    Hey Wizard of Iz,
    You have to be kidding. Of course the vile Brits used your countrymen as cannon fodder. They also used your country as a nuke test site for their atmospheric H-Bomb testing (Maralinga), blasting radioactive materials willy nilly. Your Brit masters also used your country as a nuke waste dumping ground. Sometime in the 1960s your ridiculous duly elected pols decided to switch dominatrices and became the Yank’s bitch. As revealed by the falconer, Christopher Boyce, your Labor Party was completely owned by the CIA. To this day, you still supply cannon fodder and fig leaves to cover for ZUSA imperial adventures …..but at least you have not been degraded down to the level of Canada, Amerika’s favorite butt boy.

    Does the ideological consistency of the goyim confuse you? Why wouldn't an ethnic-nationalist support other ethnic-nationalists? So far as I can tell, all the hostility to Israel from the right stems from the fact that "right wing," (neoconservative) Jews have shamelessly supported ethnic-nationalism in Israel while demanding even a shadow of civic nationalism be stomped out and suppressed anywhere else. What possible problem could Zionists have with supporting whites in their own struggle to stem a brown tide of violent neighbors? Chutzpah is going to be the end of us.

    Oh and before we reach the merry-go-round of the “anti-zionist,” Jews: Nobody who advocates nationalism for their own people is going to appreciate the ravings of communist lunatics. Whether or not those Jews are consistent in their hatred of nationalism is immaterial. Any blanket anti-nationalist is simply a genocidal maniac and that goes double for Jews as we understand what it is to be nationless.

    It’s awfully hard to condemn Jews when one worships them.
     
    And, this is how they view one essential element of your faith... those f-cking ingrates;

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we're a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    We still remember our response when the Holy Trinity was first explained to us. We were astounded how fucked up this whole thing is. So G-d is Jesus' father, but they are also one and the same? How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then... who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that's who. Yeah, we just don't get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn't that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d's spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

    [this part too sick to paste here]

    Sorry, Christians. It's all poppycock to us.

    One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes.

    Really? How many volumes in Talmud? (The entire Talmud consists of 63 tractates, and in standard print is over 6,200 pages long.)

    We have to put these "Jews" someplace. Today's Jews are not related to the Jews of Jesus' time. It's the RCC and Zioevangizers who give them their status. The priesthood ended when the temple was destroyed. They want to rebuild the temple, but that will never happen. Julian the Apostate tried that. What would happen today is another earthquake. If these "Jews" want to practice the Old Testament ways let them and we must send the Jews in the West to Israel.

    I know the Bible said they were to be disbursed but those original Jews are gone. Today's "Judaism" is a mishmash of the Kabbala and the Talmud. Nothing to do with the Old Testament. Let these strange people do their own thing.

    Let these strange people do their own thing

    Good idea, but where? Europe already has Europeans and Palestine already has Palestinians and neither want to suffer the strange influences of these strange people.

    What the heck does "Selah" mean?

    “Selah” is a Hebrew (not “Jewish”) word signifying a break in the vocals of a song to allow for a stretch of instrumental only (typically eight bars) after which the vocals resume.
    Interestingly it is used virtually exclusively in Western (the 12 “lost tribes”) music. But the word itself is most common in the Book of Psalms.

    Those American Jews who are strongly attached to Israel and somehow find themselves in senior policy making positions involving the Middle East and who actually possess any integrity on the issue should recuse themselves, just as any judge would do if he were presiding over a case in which he had a personal interest.

    The British administrators of Imperial India were not likely to recuse themselves over questions involving India’s relationship with Great Britain.

    There are some strong parallels here.

    The British in India regarded themselves as racially superior to Indian nationals, showed a high level of ethnic solidarity, and had social systems in place to separate them from the natives, along with rewards for working in the Imperial administration (i.e. they lived in a comfortable elite bubble – with, as Ron pointed out elsewhere, a select group of Anglicized high caste native collaborators).

    Imperial India was required to provide troops and funding for British wars , with trade and finance designed to benefit British interests and the Home country (Great Britain).

    Natives calling for independence from Great Britain, were harassed and investigated, and faced prison as subversives, with Indian Nationalism being denounced in the British owned Indian press.

    In fact the British crushed the attempt of Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress to force them to “quit India” in 1942 but they were weakened by the mass campaign and exhausted officials + the lack of sufficient troops to defeat renewed mass campaigns that eventually led them to leave.

    To my mind, it’s a question of how the small Ziocon minority intend to run their US colony over the longer term (and how they plan to deal with dissent).

    The bad precedents are the lethal Jewish Bolshevik dictatorships applied to Russia and Hungary, which could well be what’s on the way, and BTW which are still celebrated in books like Slezkine’s “The Jewish Century”.

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    Those non Jews are the worst. Those are the “unsullied slaves” of the Zionists. Any dirty work a Zionist doesn’t want to get his hands in, he’ll command these goyim slaves to do it. Why fight and risk your life, your wealth, your greed when you have all these slave soldiers happy and proud to die for you, steal for you, and pay all expenses, and pimp your women (Hollywood, Porn Industry, Sex slaves, and brothels). The cuck general will assist the Jewy Zionists in achieving this ” honorable ” mission

    Two things:

    First, the above picture of Kristol brilliantly captures the smugness (see his perpetual smile) of the American Jews who are in control of the U.S. and very well know it.

    Secondly, American Jews, by and large, don't fight in the American wars they instigate. Their presence in the American armed services, percentage wise, is far below their percent representation in the general population. Their representation in combat arms is even more dismal, but, there's plenty of Jewish doctors and lawyers in the service.

    I signed induction papers to become a Marine enlisted man in 1972 and was discharged honorably as an officer in late 1979, almost 8 years of service in the infantry. I met 10's of thousands of Marines during those years...but met only one Jewish infantry officer and absolutely no Jewish enlisted men.

    It's hard to remain objective about them given these things.

    I'm delighted that Philip had the courage to write what many of us already think about them...they're cowards, have dual-loyalties and cannot be depended upon to do anything useful for America but fleece us and advance the interests of what Charles De Gaul called "That shitty little country", Israel.

    You are more likely to find that those jews who embrace military service do not advocate AMERICAN military service, despite American support for Israel.
    Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel recently bragged about his offspring joining the IDF. I guess the U S military was not good enough.
    THIS is a prime example of how dual nationality and citizenship of the jew will NEVER be used to benefit the American jew’s host country…the USA.
    Dual citizenship must be abolished. Those who refuse to give up their dual citizenship should be summarily deported–no exceptions…

    The United States has never been threatened militarily, and probably not economically for that matter, ever, by any foreign power, except Israel.

  440. I have not read all 436 comments, so I don’t know if this issue has been addressed, but I must say that it appear to me extremely important to distinguish “Jews” from violent Zionists with control issues.

    Most Jews are no worse than any others, while most modern Zionists seem to be the big problem.

    Ethically, philosophically, and practically it makes no more sense to bash all Jews than it does to bash all Muslims.

    In a practical sense, we goyim would do well to avoid rejecting all Jews for the very simple reason that the ethical, honest and intelligent ones are a huge force against the nutcase violent Zionists and Israel firsters.Also, it makes no sense whatsoever to disperse our energy struggling against the good guys while it makes sense to target and marginalize the key culprits such as the troublemakers named in the article. I suspect that all it would take would be to isolate and defang a relative few and it wouldn’t be long before the rest of us could enjoy a little peace.

    Unfortunately, it takes continuous effort to suppress the goof balls who sprout at every opportunity like mushrooms after a rain on a compost pile, and most goyim don’t get that, so we’re screwed outta the gate.

    The violent Zionists and Israel firsters are no doubt as big a threat to ethical Jews as they are to the goyim, and this has been recognized by the perceptive ones since the first rumblings of Zionist agitation over a century ago.

    You make many good points, jacques, & I confess to being a tad chastened.

    When one feels a little guilty, you start to think up counter-arguments and defenses: instead of saying, ie. "It was totally wrong to write that ALL Jews must be made to feel uncomfortable," I try to defend it, parse it, point out its rationality.

    Best I could come up with is the experience of joining J-Street in its very earliest days. I went to the local temple to organizing meeting, attended training sessions, practiced media presentations, planned & hosted interfaith events -- the works. Then J Street grew - phenomenally -- and became AIPAC lighte. J-Street co-sponsored, with ZOA and AIPAC, the Iran Task Force, whose mission was to take down Iran economically. So from my perspective, I had been seduced to join in solidarity (god I hate that word) with the "good guys" who were, in my hope, going to counter the efforts of the "bad guys" who were threatening Iran, against the best interests of MY primary interest, the USA. But in fact, J-Street was merely the back bench.

    How do you know who the "good Jews" are?

    After that painful lesson w/ J-Street, I took my advocacy efforts straight to pro-Iran groups (carefully vetted -- MEK has "Iran" attached to it, but MEK seeks to destroy Iran.) I became active with groups that organized and prepared activists to lobby Congress in support of the JCPOA. We had arranged a final meeting before our scheduled visit to Capitol Hill. A Jewish guy appeared at that meeting and more or less commandeered it; he knew more about what we were doing than we did; he pretended to support our activism, got everyone talking freely, got everyone slobbering all over Jews and their rights to defensible borders etc etc etc, then, in effect, he pulled off his shirt and displayed his SuperJew loyalty: "Your efforts will fail," he assured us. "And if JCPOA does pass, it will still be a benefit to Israel, because Israel will then have access to Iran's nuclear secrets."

    In other words, how do you know who the "good Jews" are?

    I no longer contribute my support "in solidarity" with Jewish groups of any stripe.

    I think it's time we non-Jewish Americans stood up and claimed America for Americans; it's time for US to organize and infiltrate and speak out as boldly and as forcefully as Jewish groups do.

    I typed this -- but I'm not sure about it ---> if Jews wish not to be marginalized and targeted as members of the "bad Jews" cohort, then they will have to give their support to OUR efforts and OUR organizations.
    I'm not sure about it because I have witnessed infiltrators -- I participated in a seminar planned and hosted by Muslims in my community, with the goal of making Islam known to non-Muslim members of the community. A break-out session was arranged so that small groups could talk with a practicing Muslim. The "Muslim" woman assigned to my small group was dressed in long robe, hair covered, etc. As the conversation progressed she revealed that she was born & raised in a Jewish family, converted to Christianity, now converted again to Islam. iow, a spy, an infiltrator. damn it.

    re your statement:

    "In a practical sense, we goyim would do well to avoid rejecting all Jews for the very simple reason that the ethical, honest and intelligent ones are a huge force against the nutcase violent Zionists and Israel firsters."
     
    Really? How's that working out so far (where "so far" means the last century or so)?

    I talk to far more Iranians (non-Jewish) who argue that the Iranian people and Israelis/Jews are age-old friends and should be so again, than I hear of Jews who argue that Israel and Iran should renew their age-old friendship. I suspect this is so because the Jews who run Israel, or at least the ideological basis for the form of zionism that dominates Israel (from its earliest Jabotinskyite days until today) are mostly of Eastern European origin: they are NOT majority Iranian Jews (I'd hazard a guess that there are more Iranian Jews in Los Angeles than in Israel).
    Israel's leaders -- and American Jewish "trouble makers" are, similarly, not German Jews, not Sephardic or Mizrahi, they are East European Jews (although those Tehrangeles Jews ARE among the trouble-maker class: Ed Royce, Eliot Engel, Brad Sherman, Diane Feinstein, even Pelosi dance to their tune. They behave as would be expected of an expatriated group who may have lost wealth or possessions or status upon leaving Iran -- compare them to exiled Cubans who resent like hell being dispossessed of their gambling enclaves and sugar plantations, etc.); they're from Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Belarus. Their orientation to things Jewish is Talmudic; their long history in Poland is extremely important to understand inasmuch as it influenced their ways of being-in-the-world, which they brought to Israel AND TO USA; their worldview is inflected by Heinrich Graetz's version of Jewish history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqeRpiVQ-9Y

    Also, it makes no sense whatsoever to disperse our energy struggling against the good guys
     
    Agree wholeheartedly.

    "while it makes sense to target and marginalize the key culprits such as the troublemakers named in the article. I suspect that all it would take would be to isolate and defang a relative few and it wouldn’t be long before the rest of us could enjoy a little peace."
     
    You are more optimistic than I.

    My tendency is to start by learning all that can be gleaned about the topic ('zionism' may be the broadest topic in all of modern history, inasmuch as zionists/Jews inhabited in and adapted from at least a dozen cultures).

    Our next step, as non-Jewish Americans seeking to "enjoy a little peace" ought to be to summon the courage to speak the truth in love (not squishy sentimentality but with love that is manly integrity, preparing the world for our children & grandchildren). Host lectures in your church and library, your living room and local newspaper. Share what you have learned: I believe people are eager to be well-informed.

    This packet of information about the American Jewish Congress might serve as an aid to identifying, "isolating and defanging" those "relative few . . ."

    Most recently, some pundits, including myself, have been warning of an impending war with Iran. To be sure, the urging to strike Iran comes from many quarters, to include generals in the Administration
     
    Roars of laughter from the reader are the likeliest of sounds to follow on the heels of that gem. Sorry PG, but you've been pushing that story for years; at least a decade and then a few!

    In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran. The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States.

    When shall we stop paying attention this oft-repeated, "Imminent! War on Iran!" trope?

    A war on Iran is simply not on the cards. Some of us have commented on this. Netanyahu is given to melodrama and it is best to take his words with a large grain of salt. I will agree that Neocons [both Jew and Gentile] make noises about it, but there is a much larger group of similar minded, wealthy and influential [J/G] people who, discreetly and effectively, steer the ship away from these noises. Iraq has taught a lesson.

    So what drives your narrow anger which can only be described a certain way?

    When shall we stop paying attention this oft-repeated, “Imminent! War on Iran!” trope?

    Better question.:

    When shall we stop paying attention this oft-repeated, “Imminent! Iran is an Existential Threat” trope?

    Anyway, the American public has shown many times that it really doesn’t give a rat’s ass about foreigners being killed or maimed – not three of them, not three million of them. Foreigners might as well be bugs. What really matters is that feeling of power and superiority: their country is Top Nation and can whip anyone else, yes sir.
     
    True words sir!

    The evil empire sustains itself primarily through this attitude of its people. It does not matter how the Jews connive to shape it. Only thing that matters is that they buy into it without exercising their conscience.

    Americans, remember, such glory has a cost. You will find soon enough that a cancerous soul is too high a price to be "Top Nation," for essentially a blink in cosmic time.

    The evil empire sustains itself primarily through this attitude of its people.

    That certainly is a key problem, but American goyim also appear not to give much of a rat’s tuschie about the sewage pumped into their brains by the mass media and the schooling systems either, nor do they seem to care about funding the enemy in every way possible such as staying ignorant about the federal reserve and corporate bailouts, supporting taxes that invariably flow directly into the hands of real enemies, assuming debt to buy glittering useless junk, and supporting churches that support the state from the pulpit and stage, to name just some other ways the goyim stay ignorant and support their own demise.

    Thank you for another interesting article, that so, so few people are willing to enter the discussion, publically, anyways.
    In line with that, I am quite curious as to why you are allowed to ‘get away with it?
    …. but perhaps another time…

    Your headline is interesting, using the word “recuse”:
    Shouldn’t they recuse themselves when dealing with the Middle East?
    It is refreshing to find a word at this stage of my reading and writing career that I either don’t know, or know so little about. For me, it first came to (renewed) awareness with the Jeff Sessions involvement in the “Russia” inquiries.
    At dictionary.com we get, “2. to withdraw from a position of judging so as to avoid any semblance of partiality or bias.”
    But it seems to denote that the subject of the recusing, would qualify for the position, otherwise?!
    I don’t think this is the case with U.S.A. policy in the Middle East, specifically.
    As a matter of fact, the condition of performing duties, for the U.S. government, under oath, but actually performing those duties with the primary interest that of a different, independent political faction and/or nation-state is well covered in the U.S. Constitution, and under U.S. Federal Law; one place it can be seen is at this link:

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-115

    18 U.S. Code Chapter 115 – TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
    18 U.S. Code § 2381 – Treason: “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
    (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)”
    18 U.S. Code § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy:
    “If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
    (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, § 1, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)”

    It seems quite straight-forward under U.S. Federal law that persons who will not work in the best interests of (all/majority of) the people of the United States of America, on Middle East affairs, or anything else, all fit into the same category for treatment under the existing law, they do NOT qualify for positions in the U.S. government, and may not qualify for citizenship in the U.S.A..

    Am I missing something?

    I don't normally read your posts but did read this one addressed to me. As you seem to think that mere clamorous assertion of matters you clearly no little about and your personal opinion of these is a worthwhile communication my advice may be of no effect but I do advise you to inform yourself better about matters on which you know a lot less than others before you try teaching grandmothers to suck eggs. I have actually provided answers to another commenter who thought Boyce was a witness òf truth and, like you, also misrepresented what would have followed if he had been. Your version is even wilder than most in suggesting the CIA "owned" the Labor Party. It was not the Labor Party which had Whitlam dismissed but the Libs and Nats. As for somehow being taken for a ride when covering (as did many other countries) for the imperial adventure you presumably are not aware that, while over 4000 Americans were being killed in Iraq only one Australian was - and he shot himself by accident in his bunk room!

    I have not read all 436 comments, so I don't know if this issue has been addressed, but I must say that it appear to me extremely important to distinguish "Jews" from violent Zionists with control issues.

    Most Jews are no worse than any others, while most modern Zionists seem to be the big problem.

    Ethically, philosophically, and practically it makes no more sense to bash all Jews than it does to bash all Muslims.

    In a practical sense, we goyim would do well to avoid rejecting all Jews for the very simple reason that the ethical, honest and intelligent ones are a huge force against the nutcase violent Zionists and Israel firsters.Also, it makes no sense whatsoever to disperse our energy struggling against the good guys while it makes sense to target and marginalize the key culprits such as the troublemakers named in the article. I suspect that all it would take would be to isolate and defang a relative few and it wouldn't be long before the rest of us could enjoy a little peace.

    Unfortunately, it takes continuous effort to suppress the goof balls who sprout at every opportunity like mushrooms after a rain on a compost pile, and most goyim don't get that, so we're screwed outta the gate.

    The violent Zionists and Israel firsters are no doubt as big a threat to ethical Jews as they are to the goyim, and this has been recognized by the perceptive ones since the first rumblings of Zionist agitation over a century ago.

    You make many good points, jacques, & I confess to being a tad chastened.

    When one feels a little guilty, you start to think up counter-arguments and defenses: instead of saying, ie. “It was totally wrong to write that ALL Jews must be made to feel uncomfortable,” I try to defend it, parse it, point out its rationality.

    Best I could come up with is the experience of joining J-Street in its very earliest days. I went to the local temple to organizing meeting, attended training sessions, practiced media presentations, planned & hosted interfaith events — the works. Then J Street grew – phenomenally — and became AIPAC lighte. J-Street co-sponsored, with ZOA and AIPAC, the Iran Task Force, whose mission was to take down Iran economically. So from my perspective, I had been seduced to join in solidarity (god I hate that word) with the “good guys” who were, in my hope, going to counter the efforts of the “bad guys” who were threatening Iran, against the best interests of MY primary interest, the USA. But in fact, J-Street was merely the back bench.

    How do you know who the “good Jews” are?

    After that painful lesson w/ J-Street, I took my advocacy efforts straight to pro-Iran groups (carefully vetted — MEK has “Iran” attached to it, but MEK seeks to destroy Iran.) I became active with groups that organized and prepared activists to lobby Congress in support of the JCPOA. We had arranged a final meeting before our scheduled visit to Capitol Hill. A Jewish guy appeared at that meeting and more or less commandeered it; he knew more about what we were doing than we did; he pretended to support our activism, got everyone talking freely, got everyone slobbering all over Jews and their rights to defensible borders etc etc etc, then, in effect, he pulled off his shirt and displayed his SuperJew loyalty: “Your efforts will fail,” he assured us. “And if JCPOA does pass, it will still be a benefit to Israel, because Israel will then have access to Iran’s nuclear secrets.”

    In other words, how do you know who the “good Jews” are?

    I no longer contribute my support “in solidarity” with Jewish groups of any stripe.

    I think it’s time we non-Jewish Americans stood up and claimed America for Americans; it’s time for US to organize and infiltrate and speak out as boldly and as forcefully as Jewish groups do.

    S2C, I would never even think of chastising you and only made the points I did because I think they needed to be aired.

    Thanks for the ton of info, particularly for the news of the infiltrators, the phony organizations,and the links.

    I'm happy to hear confirmation of my suspicion that the Zios are going to great lengths trying to BS the masses. I think it'll all turn out to be wasted effort but it'll be a while before their whole house of BS comes toppling down because even the professionals that I hang out with are completely brainwashed and cucked out. The ignorance is astounding and will not vanish for while, at least as long as they are kept fat and happy.

    ...are mostly of Eastern European origin:
     
    I know quite a few people from that area, and I would agree with you that the bunch you've singled out is particularly violent, opinionated and belligerent.

    Anyway, I'm neither a bible scholar nor thumper, but I do find Isaiah full of astonishing things, and there is no doubt that history will repeat, and the day will come when they'll get what's coming to them, which is what they dish out to the goyim every chance they get. Also, as for knowing who the good ones are, it's the old deal about identifying a tree by the fruit it bears.

    I'm off to check your links.

    the greatest threat to our safety and sovereignty- the ability that private wealthy citizens have to disproportionally influence politics
     
    it isn't really private wealthy citizens but rather International banking cartels that own our central bank and use our own money to corrupt our politics and buy our media and subvert our universities until 'we the people' are disenfranchised slaves in our own lands.

    the problem isn't David Geffen and his millions. The problem is that from the length and breath of our media to the Wall Street banks to the universities to the courts to even our Supreme Court, the ill-gotten lucre looted from our Treasury is used as a weapon against us, to corrupt and corrode our institutions; the very institutions we all depend on to inform and educate us all.

    and that's why there are so many Jews sitting on our courts

    lurking in our universities

    slithering on Wall Street and using their poodles like Bubba to hand Robert Rubin the keys to the Treasury and kill Glass–Steagall so they can loot near infinite truck loads of our hard-earned wealth all to themselves. And then use that wealth to further corrupt our politicians and create a circle of theft and villainy that is seems only a proverbial 'strong man' can save us from.

    perhaps the thieves at the Fed will decide they've looted enough lucre and exerted enough nefarious power over the lives of others, that they'll decide on their own to hand over power and the coining of our currency back to the representatives of the republic, who'll return to governing for the sake of a principled and moral standing in the world. But I'm not holding my breath.

    This was another fine piece by Mr. Giraldi. The thing I liked best is that the author used the word “Jews” several times.

    What amazes me, though is the number of comments. This has to be a record, at least for as long as I’ve read the Unz Review.

    I’d say a showdown is very near.

    I KNEW the Koch brothers would be mentioned!

    Bernie Sanders scarcely made a speech without blasting the Kochs, but I don't recall him hinting at the excessive wealth/power wielded by Haim Saban or Adelson.

    When you bother to think about it, you realize that Jews arrived in USA with more wealth and more educational attainment --courtesy of their former host countries -- than any other immigrant group. Phil Weiss one wrote a column expressing his "gratitude to Jewish bankers" who helped his family and so many others get a jump-start.

    So why bash the Kochs -- they made their money the hard way, they earned it, employing thousands in the process and committed to American interests and USA inside the global community. You got a problem with that?

    If you can bash the Kochs, so what if others are antisemitic?
    Is there a law against not liking Jews?

    OH -- why, yes there is.
    Unlike the Kochs, Jews have special protections from people who might call out Jews who do what are thought to be evil deeds.
    How did that come about? How did Jews get to be a privileged group to the extent that there is a special office that sniffs under toilet seats and into medicine cabinets to discover any whiff of antisemitism?

    do you suppose some people might think special privileges for Jews and no one else flies in the face of US Constitutional principles?

    That seems to be the opinion of many, that globalists and zionists are two distinct groups. Mike King is another who shares your view.

    But comparing globalism and zionism is like comparing Republicans to Catholics or southern blacks to democrats. There's a lot of overlap, of course, but it ain't necessarily so. The comparison is kinda silly if you asked me.

    I'll bet you $20 that when the final showdown happens, neither the Koch's nor Sheldon Adelson will turn their backs on the zionists.

    For now, though, they like their money a lot more than their so-called "religion".

    It seems on the right, the Paleocons and Paleolibertarians have balanced foreign policy views (there might be some smaller groups too).

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we’re a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.
     
    Why is monotheism inherently better than polytheism? Is it more or less likely to be true based on our current understanding of our universe? Part of the reason I think Yeshuanity and Mohamsterism are so screwed up is that they are both alien mythologies overlaid upon existing native mythologies - so solstices become Yeshuan holy days etc. Catholics hold some bizarre rituals like the cannibalistic eating the body of Yeshua but at least they built some interesting temples.

    Why is monotheism inherently better than polytheism? Is it more or less likely to be true based on our current understanding of our universe?

    For those who think that the universe was created, monotheism is better than polytheism because monotheism best describes the physical universe. The universe is consistent, its rules of organization are the same everywhere.

    An atom of hydrogen is the same everywhere in the universe. Logically if there were different gods then atoms of hydrogen would have different makeups.

    In every comment that favors Jews and Israel there is always a BIG Lie.

    The Big Lie in this comment is that the “jewish credo” is in part responsible for creating --- Nazi Germany, U.S.S.R, Comunist China, Hussein’s Iraq, El Qaida, ISIS.

    Jew bankers brought Hitler to power, a Jew (Marx) created communism, and the Arabs are reacting to Israeli aggression.

    A war on Iran is 100% about Israel. And NKorea is a legacy of communism.

    LOL. Giraldi is not a fan of world powers. He's skeptical of all power. Also, it was Jews, not people like Giraldi, who had a huge role in Soviet Bolshevism, which led to fears in Europe that led to support of Fascism and National Socialism. Also, it was Jews who during most of the Cold War attacked anti-communists as 'paranoid'. Many Jews were opposed to the Vietnam War and cheered for Castro in Cuba. And it was Liberals who were happier with Nixon's opening to China. Jews now bitch about Russia 'hacking' and stir up all this hysteria, but I grew up being told a million times by Jews how crazy this nation was during McCarthyite paranoia. Now, I understand. Jews were 'anti-paranoia' then and are now 'pro-paranoia' now for the same reason: Jewish interests. Back then, Wasp conservatives went after Jewish radicals. So, Jews denounced it as 'paranoia'. Now, Jews got the supreme power and blacklist and censor their critics and enemies. So, they push 'paranoia' about 'nazis' and 'kkk'.

    Giraldi isn't admiring of foreign regimes. He just thinks US role in world affairs has often been self-serving or imperialist under the guise of 'human rights', a political weapon that is used so
    sham-selectively.
    In the past, Wasp Military Industrial Complex was most responsible for US military involvements.
    Today, much of US foreign policy revolves around Jewish neurosis since Jews are in top positions.
    Should the US, which is 98% gentile, be so slavish to Jewish interests? Now, if Israel is all about Jewish interests, that is understandable since it is a Jewish state that serves Jewish power.
    But when 98% of Americans who are not Jewish are supposed to serve Jewish interests in world affairs, that's nuts. It's like Hindus being forced to serve British interests than their own during the Age of Empire. Brits told Hindus that they are part of the Glorious British Empire and that their first loyalty must be to the King or Queen of Britain. But why?

    We don't have to admire Russia, China, Iran, Syria, and etc. The thing is they are NOT 'New Nazis', and they pose no threat to us. Jews hate them because they are either a rival of Israel(esp Iran) or because they represent national sovereignty when so much of the world is now under the hegemony of Jewish-Homo hegemony.

    Also, Jewish Power gains from the clash of titans. If gentiles are bashing and hating one another, Jews can do yojimbo and work all sides against one another. Jews pose as friends to all of them while pitting all sides against each other. Notice how Netanyahu plays both Putin and the US. Because of the Holocaust-as-religion, it is taboo for ANY nation to badmouth Jews. So, all sides seek support of Jews. Even people who are attacked by Jews have to pay protection money to Jews. Russia does this all the time. Russia is the main target of Jewish ire, but Putin has to work with Jews to reduce the vitriol. Jewish venom against Russia knows no bounds, but Russians have to be very nice to Jews.
    If you're a banker, you want to lend money to both sides. While they bash each other, they need your money. Also, if you don't want the people to come after your kind, you have to make the people hate other people. As long as dumb Americans are made to hate Russians, Iranians, Chinese, Syrians, Venezuelans, North Koreans, Cubans, Libyans, and etc. they have no time to ponder WHO has the real Power.

    The Beirut bombings happened during the Lebanese civil war. The US sent a naval blockade to broker peace. Instead, they sided with Phalanges, when they were supposed to be "neutral ". Has America ever been neutral when it comes to the Zionists?

    American ships started bombing villages in the Shuff mountains , just above Beirut, shelling Muslim villages No reason was ever given by Reagan regime for The unprovoked shelling of the innocents. They wou repeat this again when Iran wouldn't lose the war against her by the US ( on the covert side) European countries, most of Arab countries, and purposely with full knowledge shot down a commercial airliner and murdered in cold blood 290 innocent lives.

    Neutral, fair, or an unpaid slaves?

    How about recalling the toppling of the Shah?

    Do you recall that the US shot down Iranian passenger airliner 655, which was in Iranian territory?

    "And I would add a few more names, Mark Dubowitz, Michael Ledeen and Reuel Marc Gerecht..."

    I suppose Ledeen still believes what he said fifteen years ago, when the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were still young and dewy-fresh:

    "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business".

    This even became known as "The Ledeen Doctrine"; I am sure he is very proud.

    Perhaps today he thinks Iran is a suitable "small crappy little country". If so, he is very badly mistaken.

    “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business”.

    This is not possible without White Submissivism to Jewish Globalism.

    That’s why Jews freaked out about Charlottesville.
    Charlottesville called for White Liberation/Independence from Globalism.

    Without Whites serving as attack dogs and drone bees, Jewish Power will wilt…. just like British Power in India wilted when the People of Dot pushed for Indian Disobedience.

    And of course, anyone who argues against America’s foreign policy being devoted to the interests of a foreign power is a nasty anti-semite who hates Israel. Typical and Predictable and by this point quite boring.

    Groups from AIPAC to the state of Israel pay for rooms full of professional trolls to make sure that this opinion is pasted onto anyone who doesn’t agree that we should send all our money to Israel as well as our children to die for Israel.

    To bad Morgan Freeman didn’t make a video about “War with Israel”, which has done far more to meddle and interfere with American politics and government. How many candidates travel to Israel to do fund-raising? Many is the answer.

    Its laughable that society still has haters against the Jews when they are less than 1% of the population. So stop trying to motivate the troops for your own political and financial gains, because you are the lowest form of life, lower than defecation on the bottom of the ocean!

    If Jews are "white", they are a special kind. The Jews, you see, are "God's chosen" people with a special relationship with the diety ... something that eludes the rest of the human race. Jews, at least for the hardcore, must be born of Jewish mothers. So, evidently the privilege of being "chosen" is a genetic disposition associated with the female mitochondria that must be handed down from one generation to another. Therefore, the rest of us, born of non-Jewish mothers, do not and cannot have this privilege.

    The Big Lie in this comment is that the “jewish credo” is in part responsible for creating — Nazi Germany, U.S.S.R, Comunist China, Hussein’s Iraq, El Qaida, ISIS.

    Jew bankers brought Hitler to power, a Jew (Marx) created communism, and the Arabs are reacting to Israeli aggression.

    A war on Iran is 100% about Israel. And NKorea is a legacy of communism.

    @SolontoCroesus
    You make many good points, jacques, & I confess to being a tad chastened.

    When one feels a little guilty, you start to think up counter-arguments and defenses: instead of saying, ie. "It was totally wrong to write that ALL Jews must be made to feel uncomfortable," I try to defend it, parse it, point out its rationality.

    Best I could come up with is the experience of joining J-Street in its very earliest days. I went to the local temple to organizing meeting, attended training sessions, practiced media presentations, planned & hosted interfaith events -- the works. Then J Street grew - phenomenally -- and became AIPAC lighte. J-Street co-sponsored, with ZOA and AIPAC, the Iran Task Force, whose mission was to take down Iran economically. So from my perspective, I had been seduced to join in solidarity (god I hate that word) with the "good guys" who were, in my hope, going to counter the efforts of the "bad guys" who were threatening Iran, against the best interests of MY primary interest, the USA. But in fact, J-Street was merely the back bench.

    How do you know who the "good Jews" are?

    After that painful lesson w/ J-Street, I took my advocacy efforts straight to pro-Iran groups (carefully vetted -- MEK has "Iran" attached to it, but MEK seeks to destroy Iran.) I became active with groups that organized and prepared activists to lobby Congress in support of the JCPOA. We had arranged a final meeting before our scheduled visit to Capitol Hill. A Jewish guy appeared at that meeting and more or less commandeered it; he knew more about what we were doing than we did; he pretended to support our activism, got everyone talking freely, got everyone slobbering all over Jews and their rights to defensible borders etc etc etc, then, in effect, he pulled off his shirt and displayed his SuperJew loyalty: "Your efforts will fail," he assured us. "And if JCPOA does pass, it will still be a benefit to Israel, because Israel will then have access to Iran's nuclear secrets."

    In other words, how do you know who the "good Jews" are?

    I no longer contribute my support "in solidarity" with Jewish groups of any stripe.

    I think it's time we non-Jewish Americans stood up and claimed America for Americans; it's time for US to organize and infiltrate and speak out as boldly and as forcefully as Jewish groups do.

    I typed this -- but I'm not sure about it ---> if Jews wish not to be marginalized and targeted as members of the "bad Jews" cohort, then they will have to give their support to OUR efforts and OUR organizations.
    I'm not sure about it because I have witnessed infiltrators -- I participated in a seminar planned and hosted by Muslims in my community, with the goal of making Islam known to non-Muslim members of the community. A break-out session was arranged so that small groups could talk with a practicing Muslim. The "Muslim" woman assigned to my small group was dressed in long robe, hair covered, etc. As the conversation progressed she revealed that she was born & raised in a Jewish family, converted to Christianity, now converted again to Islam. iow, a spy, an infiltrator. damn it.

    re your statement:

    "In a practical sense, we goyim would do well to avoid rejecting all Jews for the very simple reason that the ethical, honest and intelligent ones are a huge force against the nutcase violent Zionists and Israel firsters."
     
    Really? How's that working out so far (where "so far" means the last century or so)?

    I talk to far more Iranians (non-Jewish) who argue that the Iranian people and Israelis/Jews are age-old friends and should be so again, than I hear of Jews who argue that Israel and Iran should renew their age-old friendship. I suspect this is so because the Jews who run Israel, or at least the ideological basis for the form of zionism that dominates Israel (from its earliest Jabotinskyite days until today) are mostly of Eastern European origin: they are NOT majority Iranian Jews (I'd hazard a guess that there are more Iranian Jews in Los Angeles than in Israel).
    Israel's leaders -- and American Jewish "trouble makers" are, similarly, not German Jews, not Sephardic or Mizrahi, they are East European Jews (although those Tehrangeles Jews ARE among the trouble-maker class: Ed Royce, Eliot Engel, Brad Sherman, Diane Feinstein, even Pelosi dance to their tune. They behave as would be expected of an expatriated group who may have lost wealth or possessions or status upon leaving Iran -- compare them to exiled Cubans who resent like hell being dispossessed of their gambling enclaves and sugar plantations, etc.); they're from Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Belarus. Their orientation to things Jewish is Talmudic; their long history in Poland is extremely important to understand inasmuch as it influenced their ways of being-in-the-world, which they brought to Israel AND TO USA; their worldview is inflected by Heinrich Graetz's version of Jewish history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqeRpiVQ-9Y

    Also, it makes no sense whatsoever to disperse our energy struggling against the good guys
     
    Agree wholeheartedly.

    "while it makes sense to target and marginalize the key culprits such as the troublemakers named in the article. I suspect that all it would take would be to isolate and defang a relative few and it wouldn’t be long before the rest of us could enjoy a little peace."
     
    You are more optimistic than I.

    My tendency is to start by learning all that can be gleaned about the topic ('zionism' may be the broadest topic in all of modern history, inasmuch as zionists/Jews inhabited in and adapted from at least a dozen cultures).

    Our next step, as non-Jewish Americans seeking to "enjoy a little peace" ought to be to summon the courage to speak the truth in love (not squishy sentimentality but with love that is manly integrity, preparing the world for our children & grandchildren). Host lectures in your church and library, your living room and local newspaper. Share what you have learned: I believe people are eager to be well-informed.

    This packet of information about the American Jewish Congress might serve as an aid to identifying, "isolating and defanging" those "relative few . . ."

    The USA is a colony of Israel, everybody is knowing it, but some lie and deny.

    BS

    Israel was dismantled in 70 AD, it’s peoples disbursed throughout the nations. It did not become a country until 1948 after the evils of WWII.

    Dick Cheney and Bush – two greedy, corrupt oil barons – were the minds behind war with Iraq (it should have been Pakistan, where the real President found Osama Bin Laden living). Iraq was all about OIL, the stealing of it and the Bush daddy-issue punishment of Saddam Hussein. I still tsk to myself when I hear so-called ‘christ’ followers complaining about the jews, when Jesus was a traditional jew. The blood of Christ is the blood of a Jewish man. Ignorance to this fact, laid out in the Bible about his ancestry (of the tribe of Benjamin), makes neocons look very foolish indeed. The jews are not the ones behind going to wars. Big corporations who stand to gain billions are. The military industrial complex is. That includes corrupt war-criminal Dick Cheney and his ilk.

    Yes, there are those Israel first TV and new media people who belatedly want to convince us that Iraq was all about oil. For some reason, oil was never mentioned throughout the nineties as the cause to attack Iraq. Moreover, oil was not given as the reason to invade Iraq by Bush or Cheney -- remember it was WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! Indeed, Colin Powell did not discuss oil when he presented the U.S. case for attacking Iraq at the United Nations meeting. The U.S. was not suffering an oil shortage. Although the U.S. had the CIA working inside Iraq with the Kurds for years, the CIA was not there seeking knowledge of Iraq's oil -- just guess why the U.S. was paying tax dollars to the Kurds. Did Kissinger at one time promise the Kurds their own state as compensation for their cooperation? Oil was never the reason that Iraq was attacked -- Israel had been promised regime change in Iraq.

(It is not so much that I cynically assess the publicised philanthropic efforts of rich self-made Jews and non-Jews alike as ways of buying social acceptance but I regard giving by the rich as just a good part of all civilised traditions and of human psychology; cf. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs).

    "For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.”

    How does that happen? The question defies the entire article. The "Media". The media Phil just described, is Jewish owned and operated. Who the Hell is going to get the Jewish Jeff Bezos (to cite only one example, but a huge one in Washington), who supports losing enterprise Washington Post, the AEI, the AJC and all the rest with BIG money, how are you going to get HIM to splash across the front page that Bill Kristol is, “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” ? How does that work? What are the mechanics of such a proposition? Loss of subscribers? Check, already done. Boycott the WashPost's advertisers? They already lost those because the paper isn't viable in the business model of a newspaper, it's only a very loud megaphone for the Jewish interest. The damned thing runs a 60 million dollar deficit every month, supported tirelessly by Amazon. But nowadays it has become a Pro-Israeli rap-sheet, a monster-shouter for these wars, all of them. How are we to oppose THAT?

    Phil also forgets (or maybe Jewish influence and owndership is so great and such a hegemony he can't cover it all) the death-grip stranglehold Jews hold on our courts, the banks, Wall Street. Protest any of it, you're an "Anti", a racist, a bigot, a Nazi. The most racist, Nazi race/religion/monolith on the planet, Jews, label all who oppose it, racist. And that's the mantra and they have the media to back it up. Oppose their instruments, the Clintons, all of a sudden, shazzzaaam! You're dead of a robbery on the streets at 4:00 AM. There are dozens of dead on the tab of this cabal. This is Israel's crew and nobody fucks with these guys.

    Ye Gawds, growing up in the 60's, the WashPost was hideously anti-war. Look at them now. And their new banner, "Democracy Dies In The Darkness", boy is that an evil and disingenuous point to push, breathtaking in its dishonesty, the sheer hubris with which they operate. It went up after Obama was out and Trump in. All of a sudden, Jewish media is interested in our "Democracy", which was never supposed to be one in the first place.

    Excuse me, I need to go throw up now..

    Your delirious insanity will not disappear after throw up. You shamelessly lie. Besos never was a jew. Jews are powerless group that only clamors and lose every significant deal. They lost Iran. They won 6 wars with arabs, return them most of the land saturated with Jewish blood and ask genocidal arabs for peace. Most of neocons as well as jewish leftists are JINOs and enemies of Israel. Crystol specifically supported ethnic cleansing of Jews from gaza which brought war to Israel.

    There was no ethnic cleansing of Jews from Gaza. Sharon decided it was less costly to remove the Jewish occupation there than continue Army protection and support for the Jews in Gaza. This also gave Sharon the opportunity to iniatate armed support for the Palestinnian Authority to attack Hamas and divide the group. Moreover, the U.S. tax payer paid the expenses for Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. Each Israeli family that was displaced received U.S. tax dollars to build a new home and cover additional expenses. Remember the Jews left nothing for the Palestinians but the desolate land upon which the Palestinians quickly cultivated to grow vegetables that could be sold in the West Bank. However, the armed, poor victim Jews would not allow the vegetables to leave Gaza and be sold. Therefore the Palestinians had to watch their efforts and vegetables rot while the armed Israelis stood watch. There are towers and armed soldiers surrounding the Gaza strip which is approximately 6 miles wide and 26 miles long. Our Secretary of State, Condelessa Rice, went to Israel to solve the rotting vegetable problem. To add to the Palestinians suffering, the Israelis demanded that al Sissi of Egypt close the gateway crossing into Egypt. Sissi gained power through an armed takeover of Egypt, thus under U.S. law, it is illegal for the U.S. to provide foreign aid to any country gained through armed insurrection! The U.S. has ignored it own law and coninues to provide $1.5 billion tax dollars to Egypt.

    Wow. It was difficult to finish reading this disgusting anti-Semitic story. What a complete smear of an entire religion. You clearly have no understanding of how organizations like AIPAC generates the grassroots support of Jews and many non-Jews. I do because I’ve been deeply involved with them for decades.

    Regarding Iran, it almost comedy when you claim that this conflict would be for Israel and American Jews. Why? Well, let’s start with the “death to America” chant coming from Iranian leaders and the IRG. Then let’s recall the Americans, non-Jews no doubt, illegally kidnapped by Iran. Then let’s recall all the American military patriots who were maimed and murdered by Iranian IED’s. Then let’s go back to the bombing of American embassy’s around the world that Iran is behind. Then let’s recall the Marine baracks bombed in Lebanon. And finally, let’s recall the American hostages held by Iran for 444 days after they took over our embassy in Tehran.

    But, yeah, I guess you’re right......it’s the Jews fault. It’s always the Jews fault. Got it.

    Well, let’s start with the “death to America” chant coming from Iranian leaders and the IRG.

    Much worse than the “Death to Iran” chants coming from AIPAC, Tel Aviv and their followers in the US. McCain’s “bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” was just a song parody.

    Then let’s recall the Americans, non-Jews no doubt, illegally kidnapped by Iran.

    You mean the dual citizen Iranians who went back to Iran and broke the law? Or the ex FBI spook who went missing while “investigating” cigarette smuggling?

    Then let’s recall all the American military patriots who were maimed and murdered by Iranian IED’s.

    You so called "Christians" should not conflate Jews with Zionists. You also need to include the writings of Isaiah in your studies. And I hope you're not including the State of Israel in your prayers because it is an evil entity. As evil as the USA.

    “ To [my grandfather] Zionism was counterfeit Judaism and the Zionists charlatans. His Orthodox belief held that the re-establishment of Israel was a matter of God in the messianic future. He would have agreed with Yehoshofat Harkabi, a former chief of Israeli military intelligence, who said "The Jews always considered that the land belonged to them, but in fact it belonged to the Arabs. I would go further: I would say the original source of this conflict lies with Israel."

    If, as you say, it's all about money and influence over our elected officials, then take the god damned money out of politics! Are you a fan or foe of Citizens United? Cut those strings and then let's see about how much influence "wealthy American Jews" have over wars. I am American, Jewish and NOT A FAN of picking fights to protect Israel. But alas, I am not wealthy so my voice is limited to this platform. Put your money where mouths are. If you care that much and this isn't just veiled antisemitism, work to level the playing field. Start by speaking out against the greatest threat to our safety and sovereignty- the ability that private wealthy citizens have to disproportionally influence politics. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the Koch bros are Jewish!

    the greatest threat to our safety and sovereignty- the ability that private wealthy citizens have to disproportionally influence politics

    it isn’t really private wealthy citizens but rather International banking cartels that own our central bank and use our own money to corrupt our politics and buy our media and subvert our universities until ‘we the people’ are disenfranchised slaves in our own lands.

    the problem isn’t David Geffen and his millions. The problem is that from the length and breath of our media to the Wall Street banks to the universities to the courts to even our Supreme Court, the ill-gotten lucre looted from our Treasury is used as a weapon against us, to corrupt and corrode our institutions; the very institutions we all depend on to inform and educate us all.

    and that’s why there are so many Jews sitting on our courts

    lurking in our universities

    slithering on Wall Street and using their poodles like Bubba to hand Robert Rubin the keys to the Treasury and kill Glass–Steagall so they can loot near infinite truck loads of our hard-earned wealth all to themselves. And then use that wealth to further corrupt our politicians and create a circle of theft and villainy that is seems only a proverbial ‘strong man’ can save us from.

    perhaps the thieves at the Fed will decide they’ve looted enough lucre and exerted enough nefarious power over the lives of others, that they’ll decide on their own to hand over power and the coining of our currency back to the representatives of the republic, who’ll return to governing for the sake of a principled and moral standing in the world. But I’m not holding my breath.

    There is no mystery here. Zilch. Culture follows itself, rather like a tree follows its life pattern.

    WASP culture was born from the Reformation.Specifically, it was born of Anglo-Saxon Puritanism, which was a Judaizing heresy. Judaizing heresy necessarily produces culture that is pro-Semitic. That is true of even the earliest WASPs. Thomas Cromwell allied with Jews, inviting them back into England, because that made sense according to the theology that drove him and the entire Puritan Revolution.

    By the beginning of the Victorian era, virtually 100% of the British Empire's WASP Elites were rathr hardcore pro-Semitic. A majority of them were pro-Jewish, in a secular way that would have seemed wrong to 'orthodox' Puritans but actually was the inevitable child of that movement and its driving doctrines and passions. The rest of the pro-Semitic WASP Elites of the Victorian era were pro-Arabic and pro-Islamic (a few of those pro-Moslems were either pro-Iranian or pro-Turkish, but most were pro-Arabic).

    Out of that divide would come two things: the Balfour Declaration, and thus the eventual creation of the nation of Israel, and the Brits backing the House of Saud and thus necessarily Wahhabi Islam.

    The pro-Semitic nature of WASP (Elite) culture guaranteed - because nobody was powerful enough to stop WASP culture from creating them - both Israel and Saudi Arabia.

    And look what we have today: the successor to the British Empire, the USA, backing both Israel and Saudi Arabia as they do endless mischief, more than a bit of it evil.

    WASP culture created both Israel and the power of the Saudis. WASP cultural Elites are anything but innocent victims of Jewish and Saudi manipulations.

    Thomas Cromwell did no such thing.

    Oliver Cromwell to a degree yes.

    The Saudis were (((American))) backed while the Hashemites were the British pick.

    BS

    Israel was dismantled in 70 AD, it's peoples disbursed throughout the nations. It did not become a country until 1948 after the evils of WWII.

    Dick Cheney and Bush - two greedy, corrupt oil barons - were the minds behind war with Iraq (it should have been Pakistan, where the real President found Osama Bin Laden living). Iraq was all about OIL, the stealing of it and the Bush daddy-issue punishment of Saddam Hussein. I still tsk to myself when I hear so-called 'christ' followers complaining about the jews, when Jesus was a traditional jew. The blood of Christ is the blood of a Jewish man. Ignorance to this fact, laid out in the Bible about his ancestry (of the tribe of Benjamin), makes neocons look very foolish indeed. The jews are not the ones behind going to wars. Big corporations who stand to gain billions are. The military industrial complex is. That includes corrupt war-criminal Dick Cheney and his ilk.

    Israel should be smashed into Oblivion.

    I have not read all 436 comments, so I don't know if this issue has been addressed, but I must say that it appear to me extremely important to distinguish "Jews" from violent Zionists with control issues.

    Most Jews are no worse than any others, while most modern Zionists seem to be the big problem.

    Ethically, philosophically, and practically it makes no more sense to bash all Jews than it does to bash all Muslims.

    In a practical sense, we goyim would do well to avoid rejecting all Jews for the very simple reason that the ethical, honest and intelligent ones are a huge force against the nutcase violent Zionists and Israel firsters.Also, it makes no sense whatsoever to disperse our energy struggling against the good guys while it makes sense to target and marginalize the key culprits such as the troublemakers named in the article. I suspect that all it would take would be to isolate and defang a relative few and it wouldn't be long before the rest of us could enjoy a little peace.

    Unfortunately, it takes continuous effort to suppress the goof balls who sprout at every opportunity like mushrooms after a rain on a compost pile, and most goyim don't get that, so we're screwed outta the gate.

    The violent Zionists and Israel firsters are no doubt as big a threat to ethical Jews as they are to the goyim, and this has been recognized by the perceptive ones since the first rumblings of Zionist agitation over a century ago.

    How would you draw the line on this spectrum/distribution?

    What if there was an embedded cultural norm to always favour the perceived ‘in-tribe’?

    If you drew the line at the US Federal Law 18 U.S. Code Chapter 115, how many would qualify as “bad”?

    Your delirious insanity will not disappear after throw up. You shamelessly lie. Besos never was a jew. Jews are powerless group that only clamors and lose every significant deal. They lost Iran. They won 6 wars with arabs, return them most of the land saturated with Jewish blood and ask genocidal arabs for peace. Most of neocons as well as jewish leftists are JINOs and enemies of Israel. Crystol specifically supported ethnic cleansing of Jews from gaza which brought war to Israel.

    There was no ethnic cleansing of Jews from Gaza. Sharon decided it was less costly to remove the Jewish occupation there than continue Army protection and support for the Jews in Gaza. This also gave Sharon the opportunity to iniatate armed support for the Palestinnian Authority to attack Hamas and divide the group. Moreover, the U.S. tax payer paid the expenses for Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza. Each Israeli family that was displaced received U.S. tax dollars to build a new home and cover additional expenses. Remember the Jews left nothing for the Palestinians but the desolate land upon which the Palestinians quickly cultivated to grow vegetables that could be sold in the West Bank. However, the armed, poor victim Jews would not allow the vegetables to leave Gaza and be sold. Therefore the Palestinians had to watch their efforts and vegetables rot while the armed Israelis stood watch. There are towers and armed soldiers surrounding the Gaza strip which is approximately 6 miles wide and 26 miles long. Our Secretary of State, Condelessa Rice, went to Israel to solve the rotting vegetable problem. To add to the Palestinians suffering, the Israelis demanded that al Sissi of Egypt close the gateway crossing into Egypt. Sissi gained power through an armed takeover of Egypt, thus under U.S. law, it is illegal for the U.S. to provide foreign aid to any country gained through armed insurrection! The U.S. has ignored it own law and coninues to provide $1.5 billion tax dollars to Egypt.

    “Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War ll. Total direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars. Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America’s entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year. This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.” -Univ. of Chicago Professor, John J.

    There should be no US troops or aid to Israel. But calling this a "base" is a bit of a misnomer. Saying the US now has a few dozen troops stationed in Israel would be more correct. The "base" is nothing but a barracks and another building or two on an Israeli base.

    Or do you consider a German barracks on a US base to be a "German base"?

    Yes, it is legal semantics, but definitions do matter. It is probably classed as a "facilities only site" by the DOD.

    Jesus was a Judean, not a “Jewish” man. There is a difference. Iranian followers of the Hebrew religion have never called themselves “Jewish”, they have always been called and called themselves “Ya-hood”. That translates to Judean, not Jewish. Their community is 2,500 years older than any “Jews” that sprung up in history.
    Judeans are Middle Eastern; Jews are ancestral converts to Judaism (only in appearance) from a Turko-Mongolic fallen country known as Khazaria. Judaism, like all other -isms, is a construct of the European banking cartels, which are composed and headed by Khazarians. The Khazarians are everyone’s problem today because of their “chosen” ideology and the depths to which they’ve implemented it over centuries. The Khazarian Jews morphed a Yiddish culture into a Semitic appearing one. They are not Semites. They are descendants of Cain, not Shem or Sem.
    The Hebrew religion is only the Books of Moses. Judaism is the Books of Moses as amended and defied by the Talmud and Kabala. The Talmud and Kabala are aimed at creating loopholes in the Word of God as passed on to Moses. They took the first five books of the Torah, and added their own. Because the Talmud and Kabala defy the Word of God, they are, by definition, Satanic. They have added books to the Tanakh that are purely political and a mountainload of tactics and strategies on how to dominate Gentiles.
    The Judean consider “Israel” to be all of mankind, not simply a nation. They consider Abraham’s covenant with God to pre-date Moses, and therefore, the Judean religion. It is a covenant with all mankind. The “Jews” consider only themselves to be “Chosen”.
    Because the labels are applied in English and European languages, Iran’s Judeans are called Jewish as well, but they are not the same thing at all. Iran’s Judeans are direct descendants of the Hebrews of the Bible, the Jews are simply political imposters. They are basically trying to steal the identity of the Judeans.

    I would follow up your reference to Iranian Judaeans with interest if you hadn't shown yourself so oblivious to best evidence in your blather about Khazarians. Try looking up respectable sources on the DNA evidence. At the very least you need to confront what Greg Cochran has said about it on UR.

    I'm surrounded by people who call themselves Persian Jews, not Iranian Judeans. They immigrated to my neighborhood starting in 1980 and are now the predominant group. I asked a few about Iranian Judeans. None ever heard of Iranian Judeans including a couple old men who go to shul every day.

    This complaint is a staple of Jew-hatred, and has been for a thousand years. The Jews, you see, are not REAL Americans or REAL Frenchmen or REAL Brits---their true loyalty is to Israel or (before there was an Israel), to the secret nation of world Jewry that exists inside their heads. They can never be trusted, you see.
    Dressing it up in modern "neocons are evil" language doesn't make this slur any less disgusting.

  529. I hereby strongly disavow Valerie Plame’s seeming disavowal of her re-Tweet of Philip Giraldi’s article “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” which appeared in Ron Unz’s Unz Review. I fully support Valerie Plame’s decision to disseminate Philip Giraldi’s article via the method of re-Tweeting the Unz Review article. The Jewish involvement in foreign policy decision-making and the Jewish involvement in the corporate media coverage of foreign policy is a legitimate topic of discussion.

    I also hereby disavow President Trump’s actions which signal the continuation of Neo-Con involvement in the formation of foreign policy for the United States. George W Bush and the Neo-Cons dragged the United States into the Iraq War debacle. George W Bush is gone, but the Neo-Cons remain. Many millions of us voted for President Trump in the hope that he would dispense with the disastrous foreign policy advice emanating from the Neo-Cons.

    This writer is an idiot and exemplary of why Jews must protect themselves from antisemites. I could pick his article apart bit by bit but given time contraints, I’ll mention just a few bonehead statements.

    Concerning Iran he does not mention once that the most popular slogan by crowds is Death to America. Yes, it’s Death to Israel too, but you can bet they would go after America if they had the means and it would have nothing to do with Jews. The 1979 riots against America and kidnapping had zero to do with Jews.

    The writer suggests that Iran does not wish to destroy Israel. Idiot. They say it over and over just as that German guy said it 70 years ago. What is there not to understand here?

    A complete dunce, his remedy is that Jews in America should never make decisions on the mideast, but suggests they those in security have the North Korea portfolio instead. Really? North Korea is a greater threat to Israel in many ways than other Islamic countries. North Korea was building the nuclear reactor in Syria which Israel destroyed ten years ago, killing several top North Koreans. North Korea is happy to export weapons to all of Israel’s main enemies and would continue with nuclear weapons if possible. Iran gets much of its nuclear technology from North Korea. So if Jews were overlooking NK, might they not have a similarly harsh view as they do of mideast countries that are out to destroy them?

    If Jews are sensitive to Israel and concerned about potential enemies, the reason lies in the misinformation dolts and idiots spread about Israel, thus always putting it in danger. There are more lies told about Israel than any country in the world. Want proof? The once highly thought of British medical journal The Lancelet picked on Israel for years, writing hundreds of incendiary pieces disparaging that country. Finally they went to far with an overtly anti-semitic piece and the top person of the Lancelet made a trip to Israel to see for himself, after being the chief critic for over a decade. He came back saying he was wrong, that he had made serious errors and that Israel was not the country he had been led to believe. He vowed to stop writing those types of articles.

    Much of the world condemns Israel without knowing facts. Same with countries. So if Jews are interested in protecting Israel it’s the truth they are most interested in protecting.

    There is a saying when a serious event occurs. “What’s in it for the Jews?” Some will jump on that as typical self serving Jewishness but what it really means is this. Jews are the canary in the coal mine when it comes to serious political matters. It may be the Jews who suffer first but eventually it will be everyone. So when it is asked, “What’s in it for the Jews?” it really means, what is the future looking like for all of us.

    Now I could never expect an antisemite turd like this writer to get any of that. His position is clearly revealed early on. He doesn’t like or trust Jews and blames them for wars. Never mind that a host of countries trying to develop nukes would love to try one out on Israel only to see what improvements they might need to use the next one on the US. Israel and Jews are the canaries. Personally I’d like to see those canaries live and prosper because that would be good news for the rest of us. Anything less would be a harbinger that would and should scare all Americans, idiot writer included.

    interesting

    explains a lot I guess

    Concerning Iran ... ...The 1979 riots against America and kidnapping had zero to do with Jews.
     
    this from Wiki regarding Israel's involvement with Iran's terror organization under the Shah

    SAVAK... ... was the secret police, domestic security and intelligence service established by Iran's Mohammad Reza Shah with the help of the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (the CIA) and Israeli Mossad.
     
    more:

    A turning point in SAVAK's reputation for ruthless brutality was reportedly an attack on a gendarmerie post in the Caspian village of Siahkal ... after this attack SAVAK interrogators were sent abroad for "scientific training to prevent unwanted deaths from 'brute force.' Brute force was supplemented with the bastinado; sleep deprivation; extensive solitary confinement; glaring searchlights; standing in one place for hours on end; nail extractions; snakes (favored for use with women); electrical shocks with cattle prods, often into the rectum; cigarette burns; sitting on hot grills; acid dripped into nostrils; near-drownings; mock executions; and an electric chair with a large metal mask to muffle screams while amplifying them for the victim. This latter contraption was dubbed the Apollo—an allusion to the American space capsules. Prisoners were also humiliated by being raped, urinated on, and forced to stand naked.[17] Despite the new 'scientific' methods, the torture of choice remained the traditional bastinado used to beat soles of the feet. The "primary goal" of those using the bastinados "was to locate arms caches, safe houses and accomplices ..."[18]
     
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK

    I like that they place the "primary goal" of the torture in quotes, to point out that the primary goal was really sadistic cruelty for its own sake.

    when Israel's Mossad was given a free hand to torture Iran's men and women into submission to Israel's agenda, Iran and Israel were bestest buddies. But ever since Iran freed itself from the brutal Shah regime, Israel has demanded Iran's destruction.

    And it's only because the US has acted like Israel's bitch and relentlessly threatened Iran, that Iran resents the US. Only the dumbest of the dumb think Iran dislikes America because we're too free.

    that's like saying the Palestinians hate the Jews because Israel is a democracy

    This is a nice little conspiracy theory, but none of Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld are Jewish, and I think they were able to make their own decisions. Trump, Pence, Mattis = non-Jews. Suddenly, Trump feels he must listen to the “Jew-controlled MSM”? Please.

    This whole thing is getting silly, isn’t it? Jews are less than 2% of the US population. Of the Richest 25 families in the US, the only obviously Jewish one (IMHO) is Ziff. How the heck do these people have more wealth/power than the other 98%+ of Americans combined?

    Maybe the suits at the top of the American pyramid look out for Israel not only to curry favor with their rich, Jewish friends, but also because it is the most westernized, democratic, pro-America country in the region?

    Why not be pro-American -- U.S. tax payers contribute billions to Israel. The last Memorandum of Understanding also provides that the U.S. share its science developments and provide its "raw" intelligence with Israel. Also, Israel has the American market of 330 million within which to sell its products. Israel gives the U.S. a market of perhaps 5 million people for sales. Israel is not a democratic state; it is a religious state. Most disturbing is that Israel will not proclaim that it has borders. Israel does not recognize international law -- only laws from which it alone can benefit.

    Could you post the list of names? After all, 2% is so few.

    What about the early American sephardi crypto/converso immigrants. Do their descendants count?
    What about James DeWolf's descendants: the Colts, the Perrys, the Bradfords, the Middletons, or the Gibsons?

    What is your opinion of Judah P. Benjamin? If the Confederates had made a statue of him, would you have it removed?

    Exactly what is your definition of "semite"? Why should someone be "for" or "against" them?

    You make many good points, jacques, & I confess to being a tad chastened.

    When one feels a little guilty, you start to think up counter-arguments and defenses: instead of saying, ie. "It was totally wrong to write that ALL Jews must be made to feel uncomfortable," I try to defend it, parse it, point out its rationality.

    Best I could come up with is the experience of joining J-Street in its very earliest days. I went to the local temple to organizing meeting, attended training sessions, practiced media presentations, planned & hosted interfaith events -- the works. Then J Street grew - phenomenally -- and became AIPAC lighte. J-Street co-sponsored, with ZOA and AIPAC, the Iran Task Force, whose mission was to take down Iran economically. So from my perspective, I had been seduced to join in solidarity (god I hate that word) with the "good guys" who were, in my hope, going to counter the efforts of the "bad guys" who were threatening Iran, against the best interests of MY primary interest, the USA. But in fact, J-Street was merely the back bench.

    How do you know who the "good Jews" are?

    After that painful lesson w/ J-Street, I took my advocacy efforts straight to pro-Iran groups (carefully vetted -- MEK has "Iran" attached to it, but MEK seeks to destroy Iran.) I became active with groups that organized and prepared activists to lobby Congress in support of the JCPOA. We had arranged a final meeting before our scheduled visit to Capitol Hill. A Jewish guy appeared at that meeting and more or less commandeered it; he knew more about what we were doing than we did; he pretended to support our activism, got everyone talking freely, got everyone slobbering all over Jews and their rights to defensible borders etc etc etc, then, in effect, he pulled off his shirt and displayed his SuperJew loyalty: "Your efforts will fail," he assured us. "And if JCPOA does pass, it will still be a benefit to Israel, because Israel will then have access to Iran's nuclear secrets."

    In other words, how do you know who the "good Jews" are?

    I no longer contribute my support "in solidarity" with Jewish groups of any stripe.

    I think it's time we non-Jewish Americans stood up and claimed America for Americans; it's time for US to organize and infiltrate and speak out as boldly and as forcefully as Jewish groups do.

    I typed this -- but I'm not sure about it ---> if Jews wish not to be marginalized and targeted as members of the "bad Jews" cohort, then they will have to give their support to OUR efforts and OUR organizations.
    I'm not sure about it because I have witnessed infiltrators -- I participated in a seminar planned and hosted by Muslims in my community, with the goal of making Islam known to non-Muslim members of the community. A break-out session was arranged so that small groups could talk with a practicing Muslim. The "Muslim" woman assigned to my small group was dressed in long robe, hair covered, etc. As the conversation progressed she revealed that she was born & raised in a Jewish family, converted to Christianity, now converted again to Islam. iow, a spy, an infiltrator. damn it.

    re your statement:

    "In a practical sense, we goyim would do well to avoid rejecting all Jews for the very simple reason that the ethical, honest and intelligent ones are a huge force against the nutcase violent Zionists and Israel firsters."
     
    Really? How's that working out so far (where "so far" means the last century or so)?

    I talk to far more Iranians (non-Jewish) who argue that the Iranian people and Israelis/Jews are age-old friends and should be so again, than I hear of Jews who argue that Israel and Iran should renew their age-old friendship. I suspect this is so because the Jews who run Israel, or at least the ideological basis for the form of zionism that dominates Israel (from its earliest Jabotinskyite days until today) are mostly of Eastern European origin: they are NOT majority Iranian Jews (I'd hazard a guess that there are more Iranian Jews in Los Angeles than in Israel).
    Israel's leaders -- and American Jewish "trouble makers" are, similarly, not German Jews, not Sephardic or Mizrahi, they are East European Jews (although those Tehrangeles Jews ARE among the trouble-maker class: Ed Royce, Eliot Engel, Brad Sherman, Diane Feinstein, even Pelosi dance to their tune. They behave as would be expected of an expatriated group who may have lost wealth or possessions or status upon leaving Iran -- compare them to exiled Cubans who resent like hell being dispossessed of their gambling enclaves and sugar plantations, etc.); they're from Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Belarus. Their orientation to things Jewish is Talmudic; their long history in Poland is extremely important to understand inasmuch as it influenced their ways of being-in-the-world, which they brought to Israel AND TO USA; their worldview is inflected by Heinrich Graetz's version of Jewish history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqeRpiVQ-9Y

    Also, it makes no sense whatsoever to disperse our energy struggling against the good guys
     
    Agree wholeheartedly.

    "while it makes sense to target and marginalize the key culprits such as the troublemakers named in the article. I suspect that all it would take would be to isolate and defang a relative few and it wouldn’t be long before the rest of us could enjoy a little peace."
     
    You are more optimistic than I.

    My tendency is to start by learning all that can be gleaned about the topic ('zionism' may be the broadest topic in all of modern history, inasmuch as zionists/Jews inhabited in and adapted from at least a dozen cultures).

    Our next step, as non-Jewish Americans seeking to "enjoy a little peace" ought to be to summon the courage to speak the truth in love (not squishy sentimentality but with love that is manly integrity, preparing the world for our children & grandchildren). Host lectures in your church and library, your living room and local newspaper. Share what you have learned: I believe people are eager to be well-informed.

    This packet of information about the American Jewish Congress might serve as an aid to identifying, "isolating and defanging" those "relative few . . ."

    …are mostly of Eastern European origin:

    I know quite a few people from that area, and I would agree with you that the bunch you’ve singled out is particularly violent, opinionated and belligerent.

    Anyway, I’m neither a bible scholar nor thumper, but I do find Isaiah full of astonishing things, and there is no doubt that history will repeat, and the day will come when they’ll get what’s coming to them, which is what they dish out to the goyim every chance they get. Also, as for knowing who the good ones are, it’s the old deal about identifying a tree by the fruit it bears.

The Khazarians are everyone's problem today because of their "chosen" ideology and the depths to which they've implemented it over centuries. The Khazarian Jews morphed a Yiddish culture into a Semitic appearing one. They are not Semites. They are descendants of Cain, not Shem or Sem.
    The Hebrew religion is only the Books of Moses. Judaism is the Books of Moses as amended and defied by the Talmud and Kabala. The Talmud and Kabala are aimed at creating loopholes in the Word of God as passed on to Moses. They took the first five books of the Torah, and added their own. Because the Talmud and Kabala defy the Word of God, they are, by definition, Satanic. They have added books to the Tanakh that are purely political and a mountainload of tactics and strategies on how to dominate Gentiles.
    The Judean consider "Israel" to be all of mankind, not simply a nation. They consider Abraham's covenant with God to pre-date Moses, and therefore, the Judean religion. It is a covenant with all mankind. The "Jews" consider only themselves to be "Chosen".
    Because the labels are applied in English and European languages, Iran's Judeans are called Jewish as well, but they are not the same thing at all. Iran's Judeans are direct descendants of the Hebrews of the Bible, the Jews are simply political imposters. They are basically trying to steal the identity of the Judeans.
    - Nikademus Lawman

    Funny that, being that Christianity is characterized as a “Jews First” (Romans 1:16) religion. Is the New Testament wrong?

    Why do literate people keep using this term that the Jews of the media have inflicted upon the discussion? This use of the word "Semite" or "Semitic" as a substitute for saying "Jewish" is just plain silly. The vast majority of the world's Semites are Arabs, just as Arabic is by far the most important Semitic language. They use this euphemism, because as secular Jews they do not want to suggest they they are religious Jews.

    I took the Israeli Ulpan program once in Jerusalem, the three-month intensive Hebrew language course. In that class there were around 20 adult immigrants to Israel, and of that group there were three of us who claimed to believe in God. Most of the class were Russian or Ukrainian immigrants, secular Jews who had lost their place in the Communist government, so they moved to Israel. Every day one of them would say "I don't believe in God at all. Judaism is my race." Then all the others would shake their heads in agreement. This is what being a secular Jew is all about: atheists who still think they are Jews on the basis of race.

    In the middle of the first millennium AD there was a tribal chief in Central Asia who converted to Judaism, and he brought in Jewish scholars to teach his people. These Kazars became Jews, and these people with very very few Semitic, Middle Eastern genes make up the majority of the European, Ashkanazi Jews. It should be pretty obvious that these people have few ancestors indeed who can trace their families back to the Levant, and gene studies bear this out. So, calling these people Semites is just plain ridiculous; nor does it make sense to call someone an anti-Semite just because he denies that European secular Jews have a right to go take over land that has been occupied by Muslims and Christian Arabs for the last thousand years. This is, like so much else in our media world, is a scam enabled by gentile ignorance.

    Thank you for your information. I’ve long held similar views and i believe it’s correct.

    Many true Jews apparently would also agree and have warned about the frauds that use the Jewish narrative to further their own greedy, perverted causes.

    I do wish real Jews would speak out against them more frequently and get more exposure.

    [T]he evidence from anthropology concurs with history in refuting the popular belief in a Jewish race descended from the biblical tribe. From the anthropologist’s point of view, two groups of facts militate against this belief: the wide diversity of Jews with regard to physical characteristics, and their similarity to the Gentile population amidst whom they live. Both are reflected in the statistics about bodily height, cranial index, blood-groups, hair and eye colour, etc. Whichever of these anthropological criteria is taken as an indicator, it shows a greater similarity between Jews and their Gentile host-nation than between Jews living in different countries. …The obvious biological explanation for both phenomena is miscegenation, which took different forms in different historical situations: intermarriage, large-scale proselytizing, rape as a constant (legalized or tolerated) accompaniment of war and pogrom.

    Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe (1976).

    “The Invention of the Jewish People,” first published in Hebrew in Israel with the title, Matai ve’ech humtza ha’am hayehudi?, is by Shlomo Sand, Professor of History at Tel Aviv University.

    It explains and clarifies a lot about Zionism as well as “Semitism.”

    The book was a bestseller in Israel for several months …

    http://mondoweiss.net/2011/12/new-york-times-implies-anti-zionism-is-anti-semitic.html

    Countering official Zionist historiography, Sand questions whether the Jewish People ever existed as a national group with a common origin in the Land of Israel/Palestine. He concludes that the Jews should be seen as a religious community comprising a mishmash of individuals and groups that had converted to the ancient monotheistic religion but do not have any historical right to establish an independent Jewish state in the Holy Land. In short, the Jewish People, according to Sand, are not really a “people” in the sense of having a common ethnic origin and national heritage. They certainly do not have a political claim over the territory that today constitutes Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, including Jerusalem.”

    Helen Thomas was asked if she considers herself anti-Semitic.

    Thomas, whose parents were Lebanese, said, “Hell no, I’m a Semite.” Of the Zionists she said, “They’re not Semites. Most of them are from Europe.”

  544. Why lump Mizrahi to Ashkenazic people? We have no link to them. They are not Hebrew lineage from biblical times the way we Mizrahi , Syrians, Persians, Ethiopians are. We Mizrahi do not convert people. Only people the do that is Ashkenazic . There’s no such thing to convert people to a race! It is why Ashkenazic and their lineage will NEVER be true Hebrew like we Mizrahi people. Stop linking us to them. The Ashkenazic Satmer people have already took all of our articrafts out of our Yemeni communities in Yemen under the guise that they offer compensation. Now, Ashkenazic are destroying Syria and taking very important Biblical articrafts out of Syria . Tehran have very important Biblical articrafts too that they are now after to try and make it their own.

    The Transparent Cabal: The Neoconservative Agenda, War in the Middle East, and the National Interest of Israel

    Although it is generally understood that American neoconservatives pushed hard for the war in Iraq, this book forcefully argues that the neocons’ goal was not the spread of democracy, but the protection of Israel’s interests in the Middle East. Showing that the neocon movement has always identified closely with the interests of Israel’s Likudnik right wing, the discussion contends that neocon advice on Iraq was the exact opposite of conventional United States foreign policy, which has always sought to maintain stability in the region to promote the flow of oil. Various players in the rush to war are assessed according to their motives, including President Bush, Ariel Sharon, members of the foreign-policy establishment, and the American people, who are seen not as having been dragged into war against their will, but as ready after 9/11 for retaliation.

    Another philosemitic apologia from you.

    I do tend to be philosemitic for reasons that probably come down to no bad expetiences with Jews and appreciation of wit, himour and intellect that I happen to enjoy and value rather than, by contrast, their disproportionate support for philanthropic causes I approve of, like hospitals, or enjoy, like the Arts. (It is not so much that I cynically assess the publicised philanthropic efforts of rich self-made Jews and non-Jews alike as ways of buying social acceptance but I regard giving by the rich as just a good part of all civilised traditions and of human psychology; cf. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs).

    Now, would you try to make sense of the particular. I mean “Another philosemitic apologia”. What was philosemitic about what I wrote? What makes it an “apologia” either in the traditional and dictionary sense – or in some version you might care to define for your purposes?

    What do you think of more than 100 years of Jewish support for anti White causes such as NAACP and other black lobbyists, school desegregation, school busing, affirmative action, support for whoever America is at war with i.e. Cuba, Vietnam Russia during the Cold War etc ACLU, SPLC, Freedom from Religion Foundation( abolition of the very word Christmas), creation of the feminazis..

    Then there is Jewish enabled turd world immigration, HI B visas which take STEM jobs from Americans, Jewish legal foundations that made our criminal justice system pro criminal, Jewish immigration legal foundations that made it almost impossible to deport anyone, Jewish legal foundations that enabled blacks to destroy our great cities and entire school systems.

    I made a list of all the attorneys involved in all the school desegregation, school busing, and especially the affirmative action lawsuits.

    More than 90 percent of the attorneys on the anti White side of those lawsuits had obviously Jewish names.

    If you like Jews, you'll like their pet causes, affirmative action discrimination against Whites, black on White crime and unlimited turd world immigration.

    From a purely pragmatic view, an Israeli passport is not a great asset and there's no real advantage over having just a USA passport. This means American Jews with full loyalty to Israel may still choose to hold only American citizenship. They know that if things get difficult for them personally or for America as a whole, they can go straight to Israel with no questions asked. Until then, they can hedge their bets by remaining superficially American while intrinsically Israelis-in-waiting.

    As such, being Jewish and being Israeli is effectively the same thing. Jews can therefore be considered dual citizens and hence have conflicts of interest with regards to America's foreign policy.

    BS

    Israel was dismantled in 70 AD, it's peoples disbursed throughout the nations. It did not become a country until 1948 after the evils of WWII.

    Dick Cheney and Bush - two greedy, corrupt oil barons - were the minds behind war with Iraq (it should have been Pakistan, where the real President found Osama Bin Laden living). Iraq was all about OIL, the stealing of it and the Bush daddy-issue punishment of Saddam Hussein. I still tsk to myself when I hear so-called 'christ' followers complaining about the jews, when Jesus was a traditional jew. The blood of Christ is the blood of a Jewish man. Ignorance to this fact, laid out in the Bible about his ancestry (of the tribe of Benjamin), makes neocons look very foolish indeed. The jews are not the ones behind going to wars. Big corporations who stand to gain billions are. The military industrial complex is. That includes corrupt war-criminal Dick Cheney and his ilk.

    Yes, there are those Israel first TV and new media people who belatedly want to convince us that Iraq was all about oil. For some reason, oil was never mentioned throughout the nineties as the cause to attack Iraq. Moreover, oil was not given as the reason to invade Iraq by Bush or Cheney — remember it was WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! Indeed, Colin Powell did not discuss oil when he presented the U.S. case for attacking Iraq at the United Nations meeting. The U.S. was not suffering an oil shortage. Although the U.S. had the CIA working inside Iraq with the Kurds for years, the CIA was not there seeking knowledge of Iraq’s oil — just guess why the U.S. was paying tax dollars to the Kurds. Did Kissinger at one time promise the Kurds their own state as compensation for their cooperation? Oil was never the reason that Iraq was attacked — Israel had been promised regime change in Iraq.

    This is a nice little conspiracy theory, but none of Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld are Jewish, and I think they were able to make their own decisions. Trump, Pence, Mattis = non-Jews. Suddenly, Trump feels he must listen to the "Jew-controlled MSM"? Please.

    This whole thing is getting silly, isn't it? Jews are less than 2% of the US population. Of the Richest 25 families in the US, the only obviously Jewish one (IMHO) is Ziff. How the heck do these people have more wealth/power than the other 98%+ of Americans combined?

    Maybe the suits at the top of the American pyramid look out for Israel not only to curry favor with their rich, Jewish friends, but also because it is the most westernized, democratic, pro-America country in the region?

    Why not be pro-American — U.S. tax payers contribute billions to Israel. The last Memorandum of Understanding also provides that the U.S. share its science developments and provide its “raw” intelligence with Israel. Also, Israel has the American market of 330 million within which to sell its products. Israel gives the U.S. a market of perhaps 5 million people for sales. Israel is not a democratic state; it is a religious state. Most disturbing is that Israel will not proclaim that it has borders. Israel does not recognize international law — only laws from which it alone can benefit.

    This writer is an idiot and exemplary of why Jews must protect themselves from antisemites. I could pick his article apart bit by bit but given time contraints, I'll mention just a few bonehead statements.

    Concerning Iran he does not mention once that the most popular slogan by crowds is Death to America. Yes, it's Death to Israel too, but you can bet they would go after America if they had the means and it would have nothing to do with Jews. The 1979 riots against America and kidnapping had zero to do with Jews.

    The writer suggests that Iran does not wish to destroy Israel. Idiot. They say it over and over just as that German guy said it 70 years ago. What is there not to understand here?

    A complete dunce, his remedy is that Jews in America should never make decisions on the mideast, but suggests they those in security have the North Korea portfolio instead. Really? North Korea is a greater threat to Israel in many ways than other Islamic countries. North Korea was building the nuclear reactor in Syria which Israel destroyed ten years ago, killing several top North Koreans. North Korea is happy to export weapons to all of Israel's main enemies and would continue with nuclear weapons if possible. Iran gets much of its nuclear technology from North Korea. So if Jews were overlooking NK, might they not have a similarly harsh view as they do of mideast countries that are out to destroy them?

    If Jews are sensitive to Israel and concerned about potential enemies, the reason lies in the misinformation dolts and idiots spread about Israel, thus always putting it in danger. There are more lies told about Israel than any country in the world. Want proof? The once highly thought of British medical journal The Lancelet picked on Israel for years, writing hundreds of incendiary pieces disparaging that country. Finally they went to far with an overtly anti-semitic piece and the top person of the Lancelet made a trip to Israel to see for himself, after being the chief critic for over a decade. He came back saying he was wrong, that he had made serious errors and that Israel was not the country he had been led to believe. He vowed to stop writing those types of articles.

    Much of the world condemns Israel without knowing facts. Same with countries. So if Jews are interested in protecting Israel it's the truth they are most interested in protecting.

    There is a saying when a serious event occurs. "What's in it for the Jews?" Some will jump on that as typical self serving Jewishness but what it really means is this. Jews are the canary in the coal mine when it comes to serious political matters. It may be the Jews who suffer first but eventually it will be everyone. So when it is asked, "What's in it for the Jews?" it really means, what is the future looking like for all of us.

    Now I could never expect an antisemite turd like this writer to get any of that. His position is clearly revealed early on. He doesn't like or trust Jews and blames them for wars. Never mind that a host of countries trying to develop nukes would love to try one out on Israel only to see what improvements they might need to use the next one on the US. Israel and Jews are the canaries. Personally I'd like to see those canaries live and prosper because that would be good news for the rest of us. Anything less would be a harbinger that would and should scare all Americans, idiot writer included.

    North Korea is a greater threat to Israel in many ways than other Islamic countries. North Korea was building the nuclear reactor in Syria which Israel destroyed ten years ago, killing several top North Koreans. North Korea is happy to export weapons to all of Israel’s main enemies and would continue with nuclear weapons if possible. Iran gets much of its nuclear technology from North Korea.

    interesting

    explains a lot I guess

    Concerning Iran … …The 1979 riots against America and kidnapping had zero to do with Jews.

    this from Wiki regarding Israel’s involvement with Iran’s terror organization under the Shah

    SAVAK… … was the secret police, domestic security and intelligence service established by Iran’s Mohammad Reza Shah with the help of the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (the CIA) and Israeli Mossad.

    more:

    A turning point in SAVAK’s reputation for ruthless brutality was reportedly an attack on a gendarmerie post in the Caspian village of Siahkal … after this attack SAVAK interrogators were sent abroad for “scientific training to prevent unwanted deaths from ‘brute force.’ Brute force was supplemented with the bastinado; sleep deprivation; extensive solitary confinement; glaring searchlights; standing in one place for hours on end; nail extractions; snakes (favored for use with women); electrical shocks with cattle prods, often into the rectum; cigarette burns; sitting on hot grills; acid dripped into nostrils; near-drownings; mock executions; and an electric chair with a large metal mask to muffle screams while amplifying them for the victim. This latter contraption was dubbed the Apollo—an allusion to the American space capsules. Prisoners were also humiliated by being raped, urinated on, and forced to stand naked.[17] Despite the new ‘scientific’ methods, the torture of choice remained the traditional bastinado used to beat soles of the feet. The “primary goal” of those using the bastinados “was to locate arms caches, safe houses and accomplices …”[18]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK

    I like that they place the “primary goal” of the torture in quotes, to point out that the primary goal was really sadistic cruelty for its own sake.

    when Israel’s Mossad was given a free hand to torture Iran’s men and women into submission to Israel’s agenda, Iran and Israel were bestest buddies. But ever since Iran freed itself from the brutal Shah regime, Israel has demanded Iran’s destruction.

    And it’s only because the US has acted like Israel’s bitch and relentlessly threatened Iran, that Iran resents the US. Only the dumbest of the dumb think Iran dislikes America because we’re too free.

    that’s like saying the Palestinians hate the Jews because Israel is a democracy

    Most recently, some pundits, including myself, have been warning of an impending war with Iran. To be sure, the urging to strike Iran comes from many quarters, to include generals in the Administration
     
    Roars of laughter from the reader are the likeliest of sounds to follow on the heels of that gem. Sorry PG, but you've been pushing that story for years; at least a decade and then a few!

    In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran. The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States.

    http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/deep-background/

     

    When shall we stop paying attention this oft-repeated, "Imminent! War on Iran!" trope?

    A war on Iran is simply not on the cards. Some of us have commented on this. Netanyahu is given to melodrama and it is best to take his words with a large grain of salt. I will agree that Neocons [both Jew and Gentile] make noises about it, but there is a much larger group of similar minded, wealthy and influential [J/G] people who, discreetly and effectively, steer the ship away from these noises. Iraq has taught a lesson.

    So what drives your narrow anger which can only be described a certain way?

    “Gentile Neo-Cons ? Name one?

    Dual loyalty is an avoided and career-ending subject for a couple reasons. One must never, ever, criticize Jews (a third rail at complete odds with) and one may not criticize immigrants' behavior. The obvious problem is Treason. Just how much Treason is the result of so-called "dual loyalty"?

    And isn't Treason subject to some rather serious legal sanctions? Why aren't we hanging Traitors instead of quietly flying them back to Israel or wherever?

    Ultimately the reason is that Jews are Holy objects to Christians. Christians worship Yeshua (a Jew) and his putative father-god YHWH. It really is that simple. America has enough Evangelicals alone to ensure the course never deviates and will fulfill their sacred prophesies. Jews run media? So what? Jews run RELIGION in America - both the communist bureaucratic State diversity cult as well as Christianity (Yeshuanity). It's awfully hard to condemn Jews when one worships them.

    “Dual loyalty” deserves more nuanced treatment than just the thinking time coterminous with uttering the words. Start by considering that we all have multiple identities, sometimes several of equal importance to us. Then perhaps move to how one reconciles one’s dual or multiple loyalties.

    Having trouble getting off the ground with this? Think of Grandma who brought up young Jack to be a law abiding good citizen and is completely sure that his shooting of one dead individual was not murder, but she has a lifelong loyalty to good citizenship supporting the police and law and order…

    If Jews are "white", they are a special kind. The Jews, you see, are "God's chosen" people with a special relationship with the diety ... something that eludes the rest of the human race. Jews, at least for the hardcore, must be born of Jewish mothers. So, evidently the privilege of being "chosen" is a genetic disposition associated with the female mitochondria that must be handed down from one generation to another. Therefore, the rest of us, born of non-Jewish mothers, do not and cannot have this privilege.

    Orthodox Judaism allows for conversion, although the rules are very strict. Example: Ivanka.

    And, this is how they view one essential element of your faith... those f-cking ingrates;

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we're a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    We still remember our response when the Holy Trinity was first explained to us. We were astounded how fucked up this whole thing is. So G-d is Jesus' father, but they are also one and the same? How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then... who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that's who. Yeah, we just don't get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn't that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d's spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

    [this part too sick to paste here]

    Sorry, Christians. It's all poppycock to us.

    Typically Jewish! That’s a compliment BTW. Now go to work on belief in that Abrahamic tyrant who is supposed to care about and communicate with his creation but never bothers to sort out the errors of successive big mouths from Moses to Jesus to Early Fathers to The Prophet to Hus, Luther, Calvin and all.

    Phil Giraldi's title, admittedly, is infelicitous because it gives ammunition to ADL and their ilk to label the article, guess what,...Antisemitic, their favorite slur. Though again I disagree with the choice of his title, which makes it an easy target, I understand Giraldi's frustration at witnessing the apocalyptic blow AIPAC delivers to the sustainability of the United States as a country. Obviously, not all Jews in DC's and NYC's elite are driving us to war, and of course many non-Jews are. It remains incontrovertible, however, that a very active, powerful, organized, and influential minority of people, who identify as Jewish, are restless and effective Israel-firsters. They see dragging America into Israel's wars in the Middle East as furthering Israel's national security interest. Only a fool would deny the obscene amount of power the Zionist faction wields in the USA.

    I totally agree, this is a tremendous find.

    I was especially surprised by the level of honesty contained in the two concluding paragraphs:


    Framed that way, Jewish support for a war with Iraq makes perfect sense. But Freedman, for one, argues that such parallels are fallacious. "What is happening in Iraq today isn't very different than what is happening in most of the Arab world," she says. "It is not a democracy, but it's also the case that most of the hardships there are caused by the severity of the sanctions. We're not going in to rescue freedom and democracy in Iraq."

    If that turns out to be true, says Lerner, "and the war drags on and involves many American deaths and a great deal of unnecessary pain to the Iraqi people, then the American Jewish leadership and state of Israel are putting Jews in a precarious position, in which we may be blamed for the craziness of this war."
     

    It must have been written by an antisemite. Drats, it was authored by Michelle Goldberg... she must be a self-hating Jew.

    ROTFL. Actually, her disavowal only vindicated Giraldi's point.

    any organization that aspires to be heard on foreign policy knows that to touch the live wire of Israel and American Jews guarantees a quick trip to obscurity. Jewish groups and deep pocket individual donors not only control the politicians, they own and run the media and entertainment industries, meaning that no one will hear about or from the offending party ever again.

    I think it's turned into a game of know-but-no. Jewish globalists know they got the power. People like Plame know. They know-know but play no-no. It's Mutual Pretense Pact on the premise that if you say No to what you Know, you will be showered with prizes. If not, you will be exiled.

    This complaint is a staple of Jew-hatred, and has been for a thousand years. The Jews, you see, are not REAL Americans or REAL Frenchmen or REAL Brits---their true loyalty is to Israel or (before there was an Israel), to the secret nation of world Jewry that exists inside their heads. They can never be trusted, you see.
    Dressing it up in modern "neocons are evil" language doesn't make this slur any less disgusting.

    “The Jews, you see, are not REAL Americans or REAL Frenchmen or REAL Brits…”

You clearly have no understanding of how organizations like AIPAC generates the grassroots support of Jews and many non-Jews. I do because I’ve been deeply involved with them for decades.

    Regarding Iran, it almost comedy when you claim that this conflict would be for Israel and American Jews. Why? Well, let’s start with the “death to America” chant coming from Iranian leaders and the IRG. Then let’s recall the Americans, non-Jews no doubt, illegally kidnapped by Iran. Then let’s recall all the American military patriots who were maimed and murdered by Iranian IED’s. Then let’s go back to the bombing of American embassy’s around the world that Iran is behind. Then let’s recall the Marine baracks bombed in Lebanon. And finally, let’s recall the American hostages held by Iran for 444 days after they took over our embassy in Tehran.

    But, yeah, I guess you’re right......it’s the Jews fault. It’s always the Jews fault. Got it.

    From a purely pragmatic view, an Israeli passport is not a great asset and there’s no real advantage over having just a USA passport. This means American Jews with full loyalty to Israel may still choose to hold only American citizenship. They know that if things get difficult for them personally or for America as a whole, they can go straight to Israel with no questions asked. Until then, they can hedge their bets by remaining superficially American while intrinsically Israelis-in-waiting.

If this is what Israel got for all its efforts and the efforts of its deep pocketed compatriots, American Jews, well it’s pretty sad, as the agreement sucks for Israel. Oh and for every Sunni majority country in the area as well. Actually, though if you think about it the agreement did more for peaceful stability in the Middle East than a well thought out agreement would have accomplished. Israel and Saudi Arabia on the same side of an issue? Actually, Israel calming the Saudis and assuring them that push comes to shove and there will be a whole lot of nothing where Iran used to be. Yeah, we are a crafty bunch aren’t we. Are we manipulating the U.S. response to North Korea as well? Because they’re a much bigger threat to the U.S. than Iran is.

    @Wizard of Oz
    I do tend to be philosemitic for reasons that probably come down to no bad expetiences with Jews and appreciation of wit, himour and intellect that I happen to enjoy and value rather than, by contrast, their disproportionate support for philanthropic causes I approve of, like hospitals, or enjoy, like the Arts. (It is not so much that I cynically assess the publicised philanthropic efforts of rich self-made Jews and non-Jews alike as ways of buying social acceptance but I regard giving by the rich as just a good part of all civilised traditions and of human psychology; cf. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs).

    Now, would you try to make sense of the particular. I mean "Another philosemitic apologia". What was philosemitic about what I wrote? What makes it an "apologia" either in the traditional and dictionary sense - or in some version you might care to define for your purposes?

    What do you think of more than 100 years of Jewish support for anti White causes such as NAACP and other black lobbyists, school desegregation, school busing, affirmative action, support for whoever America is at war with i.e. Cuba, Vietnam Russia during the Cold War etc ACLU, SPLC, Freedom from Religion Foundation( abolition of the very word Christmas), creation of the feminazis..

    Then there is Jewish enabled turd world immigration, HI B visas which take STEM jobs from Americans, Jewish legal foundations that made our criminal justice system pro criminal, Jewish immigration legal foundations that made it almost impossible to deport anyone, Jewish legal foundations that enabled blacks to destroy our great cities and entire school systems.

    I made a list of all the attorneys involved in all the school desegregation, school busing, and especially the affirmative action lawsuits.

    More than 90 percent of the attorneys on the anti White side of those lawsuits had obviously Jewish names.

    If you like Jews, you’ll like their pet causes, affirmative action discrimination against Whites, black on White crime and unlimited turd world immigration.

    Aren’t you Australian? You should hope Jews don’t do to Australian Whites what they have done to American Whites.

    @Simonim NOT Peyos.
    Why lump Mizrahi to Ashkenazic people? We have no link to them. They are not Hebrew lineage from biblical times the way we Mizrahi , Syrians, Persians, Ethiopians are. We Mizrahi do not convert people. Only people the do that is Ashkenazic . There's no such thing to convert people to a race! It is why Ashkenazic and their lineage will NEVER be true Hebrew like we Mizrahi people. Stop linking us to them. The Ashkenazic Satmer people have already took all of our articrafts out of our Yemeni communities in Yemen under the guise that they offer compensation. Now, Ashkenazic are destroying Syria and taking very important Biblical articrafts out of Syria . Tehran have very important Biblical articrafts too that they are now after to try and make it their own.

    Simonin NOT Peyos

    Most Americans have never heard of Mizrahi Jews. American Jewry is ruled by Ashenazi. Most Americans don’t know that a substantial number of Jews never left the ancient homelands in the MENA.

    So just keep posting.

  594. Why is it that Jews get collectively blamed by Mr. Giraldi and many commenters on the article for the hawkish views of Jewish neoconservatives, but not praised for the dovish views of left-leaning Jewish anti-war activists and writers? Noam Chomsky, Glenn Greenwald, Howard Zinn, Max Blumenthal, Matt Yglesias, Eric Alterman, Phillip Weiss, etc.—-Jews are highly overrepresented among prominent critics of American foreign policy as well as supporters. (Libertarian Jews, like Murray Rothbard, are also generally very critical of American foreign policy.)

    Indeed, the anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s and early 1970s was heavily Jewish (e.g. Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman). I presume that, based on the standards of collective responsibility he uses in this article, Mr. Giraldi would be happy to thank and praise American Jews collectively for their opposition to the epically disastrous Vietnam War, the architects of which were largely Gentiles. (Unlike the Jewish architects of the Iraq War, such as President George W. Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Gentile supporters of the war were mostly relatively low ranking officials, like speechwriter David Frum or “Special Assistant for [x, y z]” Elliot Abrams.)

    (To drop the sarcasm for a moment in case someone doesn’t get this—I’m not in fact saying that Jews should collectively be praised for anti-Vietnam War activism; I think the idea of assigning collective moral responsibility to ethnic groups is stupid. I also, for instance, think it’s stupid to collectively blame whites for African slavery, Germans for the Holocaust, Americans for crimes against Amerindians, etc. as opposed to the ideologies and institutions responsible for a given atrocity.)

    So, because five Jews take up all the MSM peace movement oxygen (always diverting attention away from Israel) – we must ignore the rest of the tribe’s activities?

    Where are the bulk of the Jews when it comes to Israeli atrocities – how about Jew control of congress – and Jew control of the media – and an honest investigation into 9/11? Where are Jew folk on these most important matters to all Americans? We know the truth – they are supporting the Big Jews – they support Israel first.

    Little Jews get blamed because they support the Big Jews who do all these evil things.

    These Little Jews need to get on the Big Jew web sites and publicly voice their disapproval.

    Until than they are as guilty as the Big Jews.

    Yelling Jew victim - Jew victim – Jew victim – is not going to get the Little Jews off the hook.

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we're a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    We still remember our response when the Holy Trinity was first explained to us. We were astounded how fucked up this whole thing is. So G-d is Jesus' father, but they are also one and the same? How the hell is that possible? Who in their right mind came up with this crap? And then... who the devil is that?

    The Holy Ghost, that's who. Yeah, we just don't get it. The Holy Ghost is the supposed creator of the universe, but wouldn't that make him G-d? So why the duality? Or is he/she G-d's spiritual form? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And then he/she sometimes appears as a dove? So the Holy Spirit can take a material form, but that of fowl? Weirdness.

    [this part too sick to paste here]

    We are all Jews now
    By Gilbert Porter Blythe
    October 19, 2003

    Since September 11, 2001, George W. Bush has made no attempt to understand the motives of people who hate us. A few hours after the World Trade Center collapsed, he announced that “America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world.” Two days later, he spoke of terrorists who “hate our values” and “hate what America stands for.” President Bush has never deviated from this theme. He insists that attacks on our soldiers in Iraq are led by people who “hate freedom.”

    In Mr. Bush’s view, Arabs, the Taliban, al Qaeda, and Muslims all around the world do not hate us because we have hurt them or harmed their interests in any way. They hate us because they hate freedom, and America stands for freedom. It is only a small step to conclude that they hate us because we are good and they are bad. Some of the president’s less simple-minded advisors paint a slightly more complex picture: Arabs are jealous of America’s cultural and economic success, and their oppressive regimes channel internal discontent into hatred for America and Israel.

    It is convenient but dangerous for Americans to convince themselves that their enemies have no real grievances, but want to kill us only because they hate our goodness and blame us for their own failures. If they really hate us for what we are rather than what we do, they cannot be reasoned with but must be treated as dangerous madmen. We need not think seriously about their motives or consider what we may have done to injure or offend them.

    The almost deliberate blindness required for this point of view is particularly evident in the president’s insistence that Iraqis attack our soldiers because the attackers “hate freedom.” What they hate, of course, is occupation by foreigners, rule by infidels, daily humiliation, and the steady stream of Iraqi casualties added to the estimated tens of thousands we killed during the initial phase of the war. They do not hate freedom; they seek freedom from occupation and humiliation.

    To insist that Osama bin Laden also hates freedom is equally obtuse, in light of his clearly stated reasons for opposing the United States: the presence of American troops on the sacred soil of Saudi Arabia, economic sanctions against Iraq, and especially our unwavering support for Israel. In his October 18 message to Americans he was quite explicit: “We are counting our dead, may God bless them, especially in Palestine, who are killed by your allies the Jews. We are going to take revenge for them from your blood, God willing, as we did on the day of New York.” Mr. bin Laden has frequently denounced what he describes as the cultural and moral decadence of the West, but he has never cited it as a reason to kill us.

    It is only by convincing ourselves we are the blameless victims of unfathomable hatred that we can justify acts that shock the world and that even our European allies oppose: preemptive war, unilateral violence, and detention without charges. We are so convinced of our own purity and of the irrational wickedness of our enemies that we turn on our former friends, most strikingly against the French, if they fail to understand that we are in a struggle of pure good versus pure evil.

    There is a not-coincidental similarity between the president’s views of good and evil and the Jewish preoccupation with anti-Semitism. Jews have always insisted that if gentiles dislike them it is because of who they are, not what they do. Adopting a view like that of Mr. Bush’s view of attacks against the United States, they refuse to consider whether their own actions may cause hostility. In the United States, the Anti-Defamation League, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and countless smaller organizations are on constant alert for anti-Semitism anywhere in the world, yet the ADL and the Wiesenthal Center are silent as to why anyone would dislike Jews. The Steven Roth Institute of Contemporary Anti-Semitism and Racism at Tel Aviv University has extensive files of reported anti-Semitism but nothing to say about what causes it. For those organizations, anti-Semitism is like Mr. Bush’s conception of Osama bin Laden: an irrational upwelling of pure evil.

    Some Jews have tried to explain anti-Semitism. Hannah Arendt concluded that 20th-century anti-Semitism was an outgrowth of totalitarian Marxism and Nazism that somehow singled out Jews as unacceptable outsiders. Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer of the Frankfurt School argued that it was part of what they called “the authoritarian personality” and was something akin to mental illness. In his 1978 book In Bluebird’s Castle, George Steiner wrote that Nazis were anti-Semites because Jews had better, more humane values. Robert Wistrich, who calls anti-Semitism “the longest hatred,” published his views in a 1999 book whose title summarizes his findings: Demonizing the Other.

    Some Jews have argued that Christians hate Jews because they see them as “Christ-killers,” but that does not explain persistent hostility toward Jews by the ancient Greeks and Romans, or why Muslims have repeatedly repressed Jews. The most common view among Jews is the one expressed by the World Union of Jewish Students in its brief Internet discussion of the causes of anti-Semitism, in which it concludes it is a “persistent hate without logic.” That is an almost perfect expression of Mr. Bush’s view of anti-American terror: it, too, is “hate without logic.”

    The Jewish dismissal of gentile grievances is just as sweeping and self-serving as Mr. Bush’s dismissal of Arab and Muslim grievances against us. Human beings do not “hate without logic.” Sustained hatred takes too much energy for it to be wasted on millions of innocents. Over the centuries, Jews have been disliked because of their clannishness, contempt for non-Jews, disrespect for national institutions, disloyalty, sharp business practices, and many other things people do not like. But just as Mr. Bush has convinced himself that the Iraqis who attack our soldiers “hate freedom,” Jews have convinced themselves they are blameless targets of irrational hatred.

    For many Jews, any criticism of Jews or of Israel is hatred and bigotry. Practically the entire world deplores Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, yet the Israeli authorities refuse to examine their own motives or behavior. Instead, they insist their critics are anti-Semites, meaning, presumably, that if any other group treated Palestinians as they do, the world would approve.

    It is, of course, very much in the interest of American Jews to encourage Mr. Bush in his delusions about the motives of our enemies. Arabs and Muslims hate us primarily because we support Israel and pay for the weapons with which it kills Palestinians. If we were to think about the motives of terrorists rather than dismiss them as delusional murderers, we might reconsider our support for Israel. That would be anathema for Jews, many of whom make no secret of their passionate commitment to Israel.

    For the many influential Jews in Mr. Bush’s circle and in the media, that is why it is important to encourage Americans to think like Jews, that is, to ignore or downplay the concrete reasons others may have to hate us, and to think of them as irrational fanatics who respond only to force. It is in the interest of Jews for gentiles to think like Jews, to see the world as a black-and-white battleground of the virtuous against the wicked, rather than as a complex tangle of competing claims in which there may be legitimacy on both sides. George W. Bush is only the most important and powerful convert to that view of the world.

    It would be entirely in keeping with our increasingly Jewish way of thinking to invent a new word, analogous to anti-Semitism, to describe those who hate freedom. “Anti-libertism” or “libertophobia” are awkward constructions, but with enough repetition, Americans could be trained to believe that all attacks on the United States are just vicious, irrational acts of “anti-libertism” to be forcibly put down. Acts of “anti-libertism” obviously would be the work of maniacs rather than rational men acting on real grievances.

    In fact, the word is unnecessary. We already have the word we need. Only America stands with Israel in a world filled with anti-Semites. Only the United States defended Israel when it bombed what it said was a terrorist camp in Syria in retaliation for a Palestinian suicide bombing in October. Only the United States and its client states — Micronesia and the Marshall Islands — voted with Israel against a UN General Assembly resolution in September urging Israel to withdraw its threat to “remove” Yasser Arafat. No fewer than 133 nations voted the other way. In 2001, when delegates to a conference on racism in South Africa criticized Israel, only the Americans walked out in solidarity with Israel. It is no surprise that the Arab world sees America and Israel as joint enemies. Muslims burn American flags at the same rallies at which they burn Israeli flags, and chant “death to America” with almost as much as passion as they chant “death to Israel.”

    Mr. Bush may as well announce that American and Israeli interests really are indistinguishable, and that attacks on the United States are really attacks on Israel, motivated by the same blinkered hatreds. Let us therefore use the word that most readily comes to mind, and recognize that those who hate us are, first and foremost, anti-Semites and that hatred of America is simply another form of “the longest hatred.” More than ever, in our thinking and in our behavior, we are all Jews now.

    It is important to distinguish between American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership. The American Jewish community as a whole is moderate and reasonable. For example, polls taken before the Iraq war started showed that Jews were no more likely to support the Iraq war than were Americans generally and were far less likely to support the war than white evangelical Christians. Many Jews were active in the anti-war movement.

    The leadership is an altogether different subject. In fact, many are hawkish and angling for war–while never sending their own children to serve in the US military or serving themselves. No honest history of foreign policy in the Middle East can ignore the actions of AIPAC and the neoconservatives in promoting both wars against Iraq and the cruelly punishing sanctions on Iran.

    It detracts, however, from the credibility of any article on this topic when those of us who oppose AIPAC and the neoconservatives fail to distinguish carefully between the leadership and ordinary Jewish people.

    Sounds like a very reasonable proposition... on the surface at least. But if we dig a little deeper, we'll find issues with this assertion.

    Let's take a purely logical approach to this proposition. Is it not true that a war against Iraq was an important Israeli strategic objective (see the Oded Yinon Plan and PNAC's A Clean Break)? Was not PNAC's remaking of MENA pushed by the neocons to enhance the security of the villa in the jungle. Isn't it the case that the overwhelming majority of American Jewry have a passionate attachment to the villa? Doesn't it follow that they would be supportive of policies that promoted the security interests of said villa?

    What are we to make of this statement by Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations:

    "In the American Jewish community, there's a great deal of support for the president's stand [on invading Iraq]."

    http://www.salon.com/2002/09/14/jews_iraq/

    Isn't it true that while American Jewry is usually at the forefront of progressive issues, they are mostly silent on the issue of I/P. Isn't that the origin for the expression PEP, Progressive except Palestine? Isn't this the reality that Philip Weiss often writes about? Isn't that why he'd like to have a more open debate within the American Jewish community about whether support for the special relationship is in the long term interests of America and Israel?

    So, to prove the validity of your proposition, isn't it incumbent upon the majority of the members of the American Jewish community to publicly acknowledge that the interests of the US and Israel are not identical (as The Lobby contends) and that The Lobby is doing tremendous damage to the interests of the American people?

    Isn't it time for the majority of the Jewish community to publicly renounce its support for the special relationship? Won't this definitively demonstrate, once and for all, they are prepared to put the interests of the US ahead of those of any foreign country, including Israel?

    Final question: are you, yourself, prepared to renounce support for the special relationship?

    Jews are white.

    Read the book “when Jews became white” which is taught in graduate level courses. Chomsky also states that the rich and influential segment of Jewish population in the West, broke with the progressive Jewish tradition in the 20th century and sided with the oppressors. Neocons as a group are mostly former Terotskysts who found their new Jesus in militant capitalism.

    My Israeli friends tell me that Israeli government represented by BiBi never dreamed of succeeding in force US to apply coercive pressure on Iran and get to this point. Now that they have succeeded, they want to go all the way and see if a war can be encouraged.

  603. Well there are certainly some Jewish neocons who are hawkish, but the majority of American Jews are urban white collar liberals who get nothing out of the American military industrial complex. American Jews don’t fly or design expensive fighters, they don’t drive tanks, they don’t man nuclear submarines.

    The US military industrial complex is a form of bribery to appease Southern American conservatives who might otherwise abandon the Republican party and start a separatist movement.

    American Jews, like urban white collar gentiles, are certainly a pain in the ass in terms of pushing political correctness and supporting mass immigration, but they can’t hardly be described as warmongers.

    This is a nice little conspiracy theory, but none of Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld are Jewish, and I think they were able to make their own decisions. Trump, Pence, Mattis = non-Jews. Suddenly, Trump feels he must listen to the "Jew-controlled MSM"? Please.

    This whole thing is getting silly, isn't it? Jews are less than 2% of the US population. Of the Richest 25 families in the US, the only obviously Jewish one (IMHO) is Ziff. How the heck do these people have more wealth/power than the other 98%+ of Americans combined?

    Maybe the suits at the top of the American pyramid look out for Israel not only to curry favor with their rich, Jewish friends, but also because it is the most westernized, democratic, pro-America country in the region?

    @Joe

    Could you post the list of names? After all, 2% is so few.

    What about the early American sephardi crypto/converso immigrants. Do their descendants count?
    What about James DeWolf’s descendants: the Colts, the Perrys, the Bradfords, the Middletons, or the Gibsons?

    What is your opinion of Judah P. Benjamin? If the Confederates had made a statue of him, would you have it removed?

    Exactly what is your definition of “semite”? Why should someone be “for” or “against” them?

    Say what you want about Judaism, but at least we’re a monotheistic religion. One G-d. No footnotes. No loopholes. Christianity? Not so much.

    The Christian god is a mega universal god seeking peace for all --- not a puny tiny, one tribe god – a god that exhibits himself in Israel, a nation of haters and terrorists.

    Our Christian god is hopeful and merciful seeking peace for all of humanity. The Jew god favors one tribe. The Christian god is moving humanity to peace – the Jew god to division, hate, chaos and war.

    The Jew god exhibits himself in Israel. He champions apartheid, summery killing, torture, detention without trial, squatting, gross unfair internal wars against defenseless people, and endless waring attacks on its neighbors. "By deception it makes war."

    Clearly the pip squeak tribal Jew god is immoral and inferior.

    Think Peace --- Art

    The Christian god is moving humanity to peace? The Christian godman disagrees.

    “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” (Matt. 10:34)

    The Old Testament is Jewish – NOT Christian. The Old and New Testaments are NOT the same – there is a meaningful difference. The Old Testament is filled with evil – it has an evil bloody revengeful mean god in it. It celebrates Jew massacres and slaughters. The Old Testament is tribal --- the New Testament universal and peace seeking.

    Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers – live by the sword die by the sword.”

    Jesus gave us a different view of god – his view is hopeful and forgiving.

    There are many foolish Christians who follow the Old Testament tribal imperatives of the Jews.

    The Old Testament bible pounders are not being Christian when they advocate tribal wars.

    Where do you come up with stupidity? I read this and I am again convinced that there are some people who will say the stupedist crap just to get their 15 minutes of fame. Yeah, Barack Obama signed an agreement with Iran for the benefit of Israel. Because that's what he was all about. That's about the stupedist thing I've ever read. If this is what Israel got for all its efforts and the efforts of its deep pocketed compatriots, American Jews, well it's pretty sad, as the agreement sucks for Israel. Oh and for every Sunni majority country in the area as well. Actually, though if you think about it the agreement did more for peaceful stability in the Middle East than a well thought out agreement would have accomplished. Israel and Saudi Arabia on the same side of an issue? Actually, Israel calming the Saudis and assuring them that push comes to shove and there will be a whole lot of nothing where Iran used to be. Yeah, we are a crafty bunch aren't we. Are we manipulating the U.S. response to North Korea as well? Because they're a much bigger threat to the U.S. than Iran is. With its non existent economy, fraction of the population of Iran and people who get to eat every once in a while, they're the real enemy.

    Have we been reading the same stuff? Who do you think has been accusing Obama of doing the deal with Iran for Israel?

    Jesus was a Judean, not a "Jewish" man. There is a difference. Iranian followers of the Hebrew religion have never called themselves "Jewish", they have always been called and called themselves "Ya-hood". That translates to Judean, not Jewish. Their community is 2,500 years older than any "Jews" that sprung up in history.
    Judeans are Middle Eastern; Jews are ancestral converts to Judaism (only in appearance) from a Turko-Mongolic fallen country known as Khazaria. Judaism, like all other -isms, is a construct of the European banking cartels, which are composed and headed by Khazarians. The Khazarians are everyone's problem today because of their "chosen" ideology and the depths to which they've implemented it over centuries. The Khazarian Jews morphed a Yiddish culture into a Semitic appearing one. They are not Semites. They are descendants of Cain, not Shem or Sem.
    The Hebrew religion is only the Books of Moses. Judaism is the Books of Moses as amended and defied by the Talmud and Kabala. The Talmud and Kabala are aimed at creating loopholes in the Word of God as passed on to Moses. They took the first five books of the Torah, and added their own. Because the Talmud and Kabala defy the Word of God, they are, by definition, Satanic. They have added books to the Tanakh that are purely political and a mountainload of tactics and strategies on how to dominate Gentiles.
    The Judean consider "Israel" to be all of mankind, not simply a nation. They consider Abraham's covenant with God to pre-date Moses, and therefore, the Judean religion. It is a covenant with all mankind. The "Jews" consider only themselves to be "Chosen".
    Because the labels are applied in English and European languages, Iran's Judeans are called Jewish as well, but they are not the same thing at all. Iran's Judeans are direct descendants of the Hebrews of the Bible, the Jews are simply political imposters. They are basically trying to steal the identity of the Judeans.
    - Nikademus Lawman

    I would follow up your reference to Iranian Judaeans with interest if you hadn’t shown yourself so oblivious to best evidence in your blather about Khazarians. Try looking up respectable sources on the DNA evidence. At the very least you need to confront what Greg Cochran has said about it on UR.

    What Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, actually threatened was that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically and said Iran could flatten it
     
    .

    Well, why should we take lightly the words and intentions of you Supreme Leader and his Advisors as anything but a threat? They did say very similar things [Khomeini was exhorting his followers from Paris] months prior to taking over the U.S. embassy in '79.

    As for speaking Farsi, I do speak some [time spent in the Gulf] and Khatib's writing is a very helpful paraphrase of what was said. You've got a shitty translator. That's all. I've got a far better one evidently. Let me give you a direct translation :

    A member of the National Security and Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament said that 36 US military bases are in Iran's missile systems. According to Fars Qom, Hojatoleslam Mujtaba Zolnour said during the commemoration of the day of the mobilization of industrial engineers with an emphasis on the achievement of the field of influence. : The leadership has kept the country away from this influence, but now it is also a serious threat to the Iranian nation, and the resolutions that it is said to have been abrogated have led to other problems and, in fact, the threat to the enemy has become more and more complete
     

    Why should the US be regarded as dangerously threatened by a pipsqueak (comparatively) like Iran just because of the hostility expressed by Iran to US military bases in its part of the world, especially when the US has a history of interference in Iranian affairs in theinterests of Americans and favoured allies?

    I am sure you know the answer to your own question. Obviously, it takes much more than a regional power to threaten the U.S. mainland; Iran certainly does not fit the bill.

    I'll be clear. There exists today, no reason to expect a war with Iran, neocon saber-rattling notwithstanding, theatrics from the Iran fan club notwithstanding either.

    That doesn't wish away, however, a few simple facts: the U.S. is, like it or not, the major global power with global interests to safeguard and advance; a power called upon to finance and guarantee the free ingress and egress of goods and services over every channel on the Earth's surface and above. That these functions encounter resistance as the world re-balances is fully priced in; remarkable, or rather unremarkable, is the failure on the part of many to recognise the view from a long historical perspective, that the conduct of the U.S. as anything but good, misconducts exiguous, and moreover, the all too predictable repercussions, certain to arise, were the U.S. to not safeguard her interests and withdraw from bases of which the 36 are integral.

    To reiterate, the U.S. does not seek war with Iran. But what could possibly be the set of reasons to ignore explicit threats against her military bases? If we have military bases surrounding Iran it is only so at the invitation of those nations hosting them, nations which positively care to align with U.S. policies.

We’re not going in to rescue freedom and democracy in Iraq.”

    If that turns out to be true, says Lerner, “and the war drags on and involves many American deaths and a great deal of unnecessary pain to the Iraqi people, then the American Jewish leadership and state of Israel are putting Jews in a precarious position, in which we may be blamed for the craziness of this war.”

    Rejection of the Logos has made these people mad with scheming and plotting.
     
    What does this mean?

    E Michael Jones explains it here (10 min in)

    “God gave us free will; he gave us the choice to accept or reject god . . .
    Jews rejected the messiah . . . and they killed him. In rejecting Jesus the messiah they rejected god, they rejected logos . . .
    The gospel of John starts with, “In the beginning was the word” . . . what does word mean? In the Greek, it’s “logos.”
    Logos is the order of the universe. Logos is the mind of god . . . Logos is the voice in us that tells us what is right and what is wrong . . .”

    Great video. Thanks.

    I think what you are saying is that the Logos is an 'overmind' to which we are all innately linked and from which intuition springs. When the link is strong, our Logos-fed intuition naturally guides us towards value systems, cultures and legal systems that are in tune with natural law. On a societal level, everything flows naturally and there is peace.

    But when the link is severed, the newly isolated beings must build their own artificial value systems based upon a self-referential complex of core beliefs such as 'we are the chosen people' and 'I think therefore I am' and 'there is no God'. As these foundations are artificial and arbitrary, subsequent thinking is freed of moral/ethical restrictions and societal depravity may arise.

    It seems to me that what we're really talking about here is satanism. Rather than allow the emergence of a belief system grounded in the Logos, the satanist first rejects existent belief systems then creates a new one and keeps it levitating in mental space purely by the energy of their own conscious intent. They believe they are the true masters of the universe and hone their metal abilities to create and maintain mental realities in accordance with their ego's desire. They fool themselves, and lots of other people too.

    So then, is exile from Israel a metaphor for the satanist's mental departure from the Logos?

    The US military industrial complex is a form of bribery to appease Southern American conservatives who might otherwise abandon the Republican party and start a separatist movement.

    American Jews, like urban white collar gentiles, are certainly a pain in the ass in terms of pushing political correctness and supporting mass immigration, but they can't hardly be described as warmongers.

    Why is it that Jews get collectively blamed by Mr. Giraldi and many commenters on the article for the hawkish views of Jewish neoconservatives, but not praised for the dovish views of left-leaning Jewish anti-war activists and writers? Noam Chomsky, Glenn Greenwald, Howard Zinn, Max Blumenthal, Matt Yglesias, Eric Alterman, Phillip Weiss, etc.----Jews are highly overrepresented among prominent critics of American foreign policy as well as supporters. (Libertarian Jews, like Murray Rothbard, are also generally very critical of American foreign policy.)

    Indeed, the anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s and early 1970s was heavily Jewish (e.g. Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman). I presume that, based on the standards of collective responsibility he uses in this article, Mr. Giraldi would be happy to thank and praise American Jews collectively for their opposition to the epically disastrous Vietnam War, the architects of which were largely Gentiles. (Unlike the Jewish architects of the Iraq War, such as President George W. Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Gentile supporters of the war were mostly relatively low ranking officials, like speechwriter David Frum or "Special Assistant for [x, y z]" Elliot Abrams.)

    (To drop the sarcasm for a moment in case someone doesn't get this---I'm not in fact saying that Jews should collectively be praised for anti-Vietnam War activism; I think the idea of assigning collective moral responsibility to ethnic groups is stupid. I also, for instance, think it's stupid to collectively blame whites for African slavery, Germans for the Holocaust, Americans for crimes against Amerindians, etc. as opposed to the ideologies and institutions responsible for a given atrocity.)

    Because that opposition is nothing but posturing.

    A few bits from The Rulers of Russia (1938) by Rev. Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp., Professor of Philosophy and Church History, Holy Ghost Missionary College, Dublin:

    [The great English Catholic writer] Hilaire Belloc writes (G. K.’s Weekly, February 4th, 1937) : "As for anyone who does not know that the present revolutionary Bolshevist movement is Jewish in Russia, I can only say that he must be a man who is taken in by the suppressions of our deplorable Press."

    ...The Movement has never been controlled by Russians. Of the 224 revolutionaries who, in 1917, were despatched to Russia with Lenin to foment the Bolshevik Revolution, 170 were Jews.

    ...According to official information from Russia, in 1920, out of 545 members of the Bolshevist Administration, 447 were Jews."

    ...in The Jewish Chronicle Supplement, February 26th, 1937, page 3, we read: "It is a known fact that in Russia, in so far as there was persecution of the Jewish religion, it never came from the higher staff authorities but always from the Jewish Communists, who were, in most cases, sons of strictly religious fathers. . . ." This text and others of a like nature are quoted in the Free Press (London) of October, 1938. Of course, some Russian Jews did not understand the plans of the leaders of world-Jewry and resisted at the outset. They did not see why their interests were being sacrificed. They quickly accepted the new orientation, however, and the sympathy of Jews everywhere for Communism in Russia and Spain is remarkable.

For example, polls taken before the Iraq war started showed that Jews were no more likely to support the Iraq war than were Americans generally and were far less likely to support the war than white evangelical Christians. Many Jews were active in the anti-war movement.

    The leadership is an altogether different subject. In fact, many are hawkish and angling for war--while never sending their own children to serve in the US military or serving themselves. No honest history of foreign policy in the Middle East can ignore the actions of AIPAC and the neoconservatives in promoting both wars against Iraq and the cruelly punishing sanctions on Iran.

    It detracts, however, from the credibility of any article on this topic when those of us who oppose AIPAC and the neoconservatives fail to distinguish carefully between the leadership and ordinary Jewish people.

    It is important to distinguish between American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership. The American Jewish community as a whole is moderate and reasonable.

    Sounds like a very reasonable proposition… on the surface at least. But if we dig a little deeper, we’ll find issues with this assertion.

    Let’s take a purely logical approach to this proposition. Is it not true that a war against Iraq was an important Israeli strategic objective (see the Oded Yinon Plan and PNAC’s A Clean Break)? Was not PNAC’s remaking of MENA pushed by the neocons to enhance the security of the villa in the jungle. Isn’t it the case that the overwhelming majority of American Jewry have a passionate attachment to the villa? Doesn’t it follow that they would be supportive of policies that promoted the security interests of said villa?

    What are we to make of this statement by Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations:

    “In the American Jewish community, there’s a great deal of support for the president’s stand [on invading Iraq].”

    http://www.salon.com/2002/09/14/jews_iraq/

    Isn’t it true that while American Jewry is usually at the forefront of progressive issues, they are mostly silent on the issue of I/P. Isn’t that the origin for the expression PEP, Progressive except Palestine? Isn’t this the reality that Philip Weiss often writes about? Isn’t that why he’d like to have a more open debate within the American Jewish community about whether support for the special relationship is in the long term interests of America and Israel?

    So, to prove the validity of your proposition, isn’t it incumbent upon the majority of the members of the American Jewish community to publicly acknowledge that the interests of the US and Israel are not identical (as The Lobby contends) and that The Lobby is doing tremendous damage to the interests of the American people?

    Isn’t it time for the majority of the Jewish community to publicly renounce its support for the special relationship? Won’t this definitively demonstrate, once and for all, they are prepared to put the interests of the US ahead of those of any foreign country, including Israel?

    Final question: are you, yourself, prepared to renounce support for the special relationship?

    Wouldn't you know it, right on cue, here is an excerpt from Phil Weiss' latest installment on this very topic:

    Why the split inside the Democratic Party over BDS needs to happen

    Still BDS remains a dividing line inside the Democratic Party...

    The Democratic establishment fears the potential of this issue to divide the party in a politically-meaningful way, to split Clintonites from Sandersites and undermine the party’s ability to take on Trump. This is why Josh Marshall of TPM has slagged BDS supporters as anti-Semites. “Truly the last thing the Democratic Party needs right now is a toxic internecine fight over Israel,” he has written.

    That fear on the part of party leaders is not a new one. The battle over Palestinian human rights has been put off again and again inside the Democratic Party since the 1960s, and always with the claim on the establishment’s part that the solidarity activists are marginal radicals and troublemakers, who need to get out of the road in a hurry (think about Andrew Young, Jimmy Carter, Cynthia McKinney, Cornel West, etc).

    Yet in those 50 years, we have seen countless other once-marginal progressive questions enter the mainstream and gain establishment approval, from women’s rights to same-sex marriage to the embrace of transsexual rights. It is lost on none of us that the BDS call went out 12 years ago at a time when the trans issue was not central to Democratic Party politics; yet BDS remains off-limits, even as party leaders endorse the boycott of North Carolina over transsexuals’ access to bathrooms of their choice. The hypocrisy is glaring. [except to hasbarist and their xtian Zionist sidekicks, especially those with PEA brains]

    I believe that this division cannot be papered over any longer, and that Palestinian human rights will at last be taken up by major political figures.

    Why the optimism? Too much has changed in the political landscape. The rightwing convergence of Netanyahu and Trump has had the effect of politicizing Israel support at last in the U.S. mainstream– Republicans back Likud, Democrats back liberal Zionists. The growing demands by people of color to be represented in the U.S. establishment signal that voices like Linda Sarsour and Keith Ellison will become less and less marginal. The Democratic Party is being challenged to take a stand against Islamophobia. And meanwhile, it is clear that many national security leaders, including lately Gen. H.R. McMaster, have read the book The Israel Lobby, and don’t like the message.

    As always I focus on the Jewish community because I think it has the most influence over the politics of Israel and Palestine; and there too change is upon us. Last June’s celebrations of 50 years of permanent occupation demonstrated to American liberals something that was obvious to Palestinians years ago: Israel has no intention of allowing the creation of a Palestinian state. Liberal Zionists are in crisis over their failure to save “the good Israel”, and are looking for a way forward. Many of them will end up supporting BDS.

    This week the Jerusalem Post listed Rebecca Vilkomerson of Jewish Voice for Peace as one of the 50 most influential Jews in the world. Vilkomerson supports BDS; and there were no liberal Zionist leaders on that list. Though AIPAC was there, and the ADL too. Meantime, young Jews in IfNotNow are taking on the Jewish establishment, asking why “you never told me” about the occupation. Yes, these are still embryonic trends. But even some big Jewish donors are balking at giving money that will back Israel. The Jewish monolith on Israel is cracking, and that will give Democratic politicians permission to dissent.

    Yea Bubba! Because the Jews faired so freakin' well under the Soviet Regime. The Bolshevik Jews had zero religious or zionistic intention. Their simple dream was to join with the non-believing masses as a way of ending antisemitism. In effect,they wanted to self-anialiate Judaism. Only they woke up after the revolution to find Stalin forcing them to list "jew" as an identity. Damned if one does. Damned if one doesn't. Sounds like you and this dolt of a commentator would be more down with Stalin than any other. Ironically, it was that discrimination which fueled the largest brain-drain in modern history -- from USSR to Israel and the USA. Now Russia is an empty shell of designer clad sheep and their best , brightest and most talented have fueled American and Israeli innovation in tech, medicine and the arts. If you hate Jews, then figure out a way besides your computer, cell phone and internet to communicate.

    Yea Bubba! Because the Jews faired so freakin’ well under the Soviet Regime. The Bolshevik Jews had zero religious or zionistic intention. Their simple dream was to join with the non-believing masses as a way of ending antisemitism.

    A few bits from The Rulers of Russia (1938) by Rev. Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp., Professor of Philosophy and Church History, Holy Ghost Missionary College, Dublin:

    [The great English Catholic writer] Hilaire Belloc writes (G. K.’s Weekly, February 4th, 1937) : “As for anyone who does not know that the present revolutionary Bolshevist movement is Jewish in Russia, I can only say that he must be a man who is taken in by the suppressions of our deplorable Press.”

    …The Movement has never been controlled by Russians. Of the 224 revolutionaries who, in 1917, were despatched to Russia with Lenin to foment the Bolshevik Revolution, 170 were Jews.

    …According to official information from Russia, in 1920, out of 545 members of the Bolshevist Administration, 447 were Jews.”

    …in The Jewish Chronicle Supplement, February 26th, 1937, page 3, we read: “It is a known fact that in Russia, in so far as there was persecution of the Jewish religion, it never came from the higher staff authorities but always from the Jewish Communists, who were, in most cases, sons of strictly religious fathers. . . .” This text and others of a like nature are quoted in the Free Press (London) of October, 1938. Of course, some Russian Jews did not understand the plans of the leaders of world-Jewry and resisted at the outset. They did not see why their interests were being sacrificed. They quickly accepted the new orientation, however, and the sympathy of Jews everywhere for Communism in Russia and Spain is remarkable.

    "Trump's Jews and Generals!"
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf8FlJy62Y8

    American wars in the Middle East benefit Israel primarily, but we mustn’t forget the war contractors, who also find excellent opportunities to plunder American taxpayers because of these military conflicts.
    With the businessman, Trump, in charge America would probably manage to wage wars at a lesser cost.
    In a not-so-long-ago Congressional hearing; John Kerry divulged – stressing the point twice! – that the Saudis had proposed to underwrite all expenses for a US war to topple the Assad regime would incur.
    Imagine how much easier starting a war with Iran would look to Trump if the Saudis were ready to pay for it.

    Iran supports Hezbollah. Hezbollah kicked the IDF out of Lebanon. Ergo, Iran must be destroyed so Israel can extend their power into Lebanon and abuse the Lebanese as they do the Palestinians.

    Israel treats the Palestinians in the exact way the Nazis treated jews in Europe. The Nazis were wrong, but the Israelis are not. No double standard here.

    Why spoil whatever case you have by something as blatantly false as “in the exact ways the Nazis treated Jews in Europe. Even assuming you are referring only to Nazi treatment of Jews in Germany before WW2 the comparison is nonsense. Israeli Palestinians, unlike German Jews, sit in the national legislature, remain in the public service, remain in academic positions and so on all the way down the line.

    I'll take a shot..

    Geo, nor any other critic of some of the things Israel does, has never condemned (as far as I'm aware) all Jews everywhere.

    nor are the millions of Jewish minions guilty of a crime. Rather it's the support for evil their leaders promote that is the problem. The tacit support, without which, the Palestinian people would not be getting genocided.

    You see iffen, were it not for the tacit support from the world's sanguine Jews for so many evils, (like the serial wars for Israel), perhaps some of these wars and evil might be brought to heal, no?

    Imagine if every Jew in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!

    But that won't happen, will it iffen, because just as with the wiz and other Jews here at Unz, ;) there is an obvious kneejerk reflex to obfuscate what happened on 9/11, (the false flag pretext to all these wars for Israel), and rationalize and dissemble, because for the American people to ever really understand what happened on 9/11, would not be 'good for the Jews', you see?

    Did you know that the mantra that most Jews grow up with is that they must always consider in their heart of hearts, at all times, the motivation: 'what is good for the Jews' ?

    So what that does is it creates a meme in their psyches that puts Jewish interests, (however they're perceived) over the interests of the people among whom they live, you see?

    And this can cause problems, when those interests conflict (which at times they must).

    Just consider 9/11, and the fact that the Israeli government knew it was going to happen, but didn't warn Americans in peril of being horrifically slaughtered in fireballs of hell.

    Even Jews died in those flames, and yet Bibi and the government of Israel were happy about it... Bibi even blurting out that 9/11 was "very good", and that it would create sympathy for Israel.

    Now there are and have been some Jews who've pointed out all of this treachery, like the Jewish Army War College Prof. Alan Sabrosky and others, but the problem isn't Jewish individuals, but rather the collective evils that are a consequence of concentrated Jewish power.

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/03/04/opinion/4wed1WEB/4wed1WEB-master1050.jpg

    just look at those sniveling sycophants gushing over that man who not only cheered the deaths of Americans on 9/11, but also knew they were going to be killed and let it happen, because doing so was considered 'good for Israel'.

    It isn't your Jewish dentist who's to blame for this, but the treasonous congress-critters who slavishly worship the Jewish media and financial power to make or break their re-election ambitions, you see?

    So it isn't the average Jew on the street who are the problem, except insofar as they're unwilling to hold the Jewish criminals to account.

    Somehow I'm reminded of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was exalted to the head of the DNC by president Obama, only to return the favor by going to watch her patron be humiliated in his own capital house by Bibi, who mocked the president, and had in attendance a Jewish head of the DNC, who decided to symbolically repudiate the leader of her party, to stand in fealty with the man who mocked the deaths of so many Americans on 9/11, and who came to Washington to demand that more Americans die in contrived wars to benefit Israel.

    whew

    I feel a little off whenever I discuss such iniquity and evil, and point these things out to an insouciant world.

    I find Benjamin Ginsberg's mention in FATAL EMBRACE; JEWS AND THE STATE of the London financiers inducing King John to invade Normandy which led to the Baron's revolt that terminated in the Magna Carta. The Barons would have had to man and finance the invasion. King Edward, and the masses, eventually deseized, man-handled, and exiled the jews in later years.

    , @olde reb
    Ginsberg indicates King John had been induced to believe Normandy was by some hereditary theory British property and should be reclaimed. The financier's motivation, I would suspect, was that they would be able to "lend" credit, at interest, to King John. If they had developed the Rothschild/Federal Reserve scheme at that time, the principal of the "loan" would have been their profit when they sold the king's promise to pay the bankers (the 'loan' collateral; i.e., Treasury security) for their creating a book-entry credit to pay the king's suppliers.

    Paul Craig Roberts in "Trump's UN Speech" writes:

    {I listened to part of Trump’s UN speech this morning. I was so embarrassed for him and for my country that I had to turn it off.
    I wonder if whoever wrote the deplorable speech intended to embarrass Trump and inadvertently embarrassed America as well, or whether the speechwriter(s) is so imbued with the neoconservative arrogance and hubris of our time that the speechwriter was simply blind to the extraordinary contradictions that stood out like sore thumbs all through the speech.}


    https://dissidentvoice.org/2017/09/trumps-un-speech/

    Doesn't Mr. Roberts know that a ziofascist by the name of Stephen Miller is writing Trump's garbage for the interest of the zionist Jews. The zionist Jews have already sucked blood out of another US empire to serve the jewish interest.

    Israelnationalnews "The Jew who wrote Trump's speech" writes:


    {Stephen Miller writes Trump's UN speech, detailing an almost biblical view of independent nations..

    Miller is 32 years old. Born in Santa Monica, California, he second son of real estate investor Michael Miller's three children. Miller's maternal grandparents immigrated with their daughter from Belarus in the early 1900s. Some of his family members were tailors.

    Miller received a liberal education typical of other American Jews, but adopted a more conservative perspective in high school. As a student at Duke University, Miller became active in David Horowitz's conservative Freedom Center think tank and began to fight the silencing of conservative viewpoints.

    In January 2016, he joined Trump's election campaign. Later the same year, he was chosen to serve as one of the President's advisers.}

    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/235792


    The zionist jew, Stephen Miller, is not an expert in ANYTHING, he is advisor because he is a jew. He has ONLY a BA degree in liberal art, yet he is advising an illiterate zionist stooge on world issues and the complicated Middle East and writing his weaponized 'speeches' to boost the Jews' interest against the interest of the rest in the world.

    This illiterate fellow copies from the garbage that comes from a baby killer, Netanyahu, and feed it to the world. The people in the middle East reject the zionist garbage when they see it, since they are knowledgeable. The comments in the region has pained trump A ZIONIST CLOWN, at the best.
    But how about ignorant Americans who are supportive of zionist garbage read by a clown?

    Part of any speech is directed at stupid Americans. What do you think would happen to Trump is he just said. Well America, there really isn’t anything we can do about NK. We will watch and be always ready to react to anything that they might do.

    Now Trump might very well be an idiot believing the garbage in that speech but he has to make it even if he doesn’t believe it.

    Jesus was a Judean, not a "Jewish" man. There is a difference. Iranian followers of the Hebrew religion have never called themselves "Jewish", they have always been called and called themselves "Ya-hood". That translates to Judean, not Jewish. Their community is 2,500 years older than any "Jews" that sprung up in history.
    Judeans are Middle Eastern; Jews are ancestral converts to Judaism (only in appearance) from a Turko-Mongolic fallen country known as Khazaria. Judaism, like all other -isms, is a construct of the European banking cartels, which are composed and headed by Khazarians. The Khazarians are everyone's problem today because of their "chosen" ideology and the depths to which they've implemented it over centuries. The Khazarian Jews morphed a Yiddish culture into a Semitic appearing one. They are not Semites. They are descendants of Cain, not Shem or Sem.
    The Hebrew religion is only the Books of Moses. Judaism is the Books of Moses as amended and defied by the Talmud and Kabala. The Talmud and Kabala are aimed at creating loopholes in the Word of God as passed on to Moses. They took the first five books of the Torah, and added their own. Because the Talmud and Kabala defy the Word of God, they are, by definition, Satanic. They have added books to the Tanakh that are purely political and a mountainload of tactics and strategies on how to dominate Gentiles.
    The Judean consider "Israel" to be all of mankind, not simply a nation. They consider Abraham's covenant with God to pre-date Moses, and therefore, the Judean religion. It is a covenant with all mankind. The "Jews" consider only themselves to be "Chosen".
    Because the labels are applied in English and European languages, Iran's Judeans are called Jewish as well, but they are not the same thing at all. Iran's Judeans are direct descendants of the Hebrews of the Bible, the Jews are simply political imposters. They are basically trying to steal the identity of the Judeans.

    A lot of them feel, for me, like:
    "A person is fat. He's fat because he is weak and lazy. He can't stop gorging on all those hamburgers. He can't stand physical exercise, let alone physical work. But he can't admit it to himself. So, he blames McDonald's. And all his friends, all like him, agree. They have found the core cause for them being fat. Bad....bad....McDonald's".

    For all that you have said ---to great length—I do not believe you have distinguished the typical “American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.”

    I assume we will be limiting the leadership in question to geographical limits of the United States. Foreign entities may influence actions but leadership is submitted to be a different element.

    Perhaps AIPAC or rabbi/religious groups may be mentioned, but I would suggest Wall Street bankers as having a dominate influence in the manifestation of social changes in our society. In my opinion, they have induced the United States into every military conflict—either for their economic gain, to destroy imagined religious infidels, or to provide cover for their nefarious acts---for 120 years. Their use of the CIA to assist and initiate the military actions has been documented by Perkins, Blum, Kinzer, Talbot, Valentine, Prouty, and others. Their impoverishment of nations as a deliberate agenda for decades has been documented by Chossudovsky and is prominently visible in Greece.

    They are alleged to surreptitiously receive trillions of dollars from the United States using the Rothschild Ponzi scheme but unfortunately the effort has failed to gain traction. The scheme appears to be an obvious and inescapable embezzlement. Ref. https://www.scribd.com/document355085824 . Embezzlement by Federal Reserve--document 355085824 The fraudulent National debt developed by this scheme has been projected to impoverish the United States in the same manner as in Greece but WS successfully avoids public identification of their scheme.

    It is submitted the funding, and leadership, of the Zionist movement and the establishment of Israel is in Manhattan.

    It is important to distinguish between American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.
     
    I'll take a shot..

    Geo, nor any other critic of some of the things Israel does, has never condemned (as far as I'm aware) all Jews everywhere.

    nor are the millions of Jewish minions guilty of a crime. Rather it's the support for evil their leaders promote that is the problem. The tacit support, without which, the Palestinian people would not be getting genocided.

    You see iffen, were it not for the tacit support from the world's sanguine Jews for so many evils, (like the serial wars for Israel), perhaps some of these wars and evil might be brought to heal, no?

    Imagine if every Jew in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!

    But that won't happen, will it iffen, because just as with the wiz and other Jews here at Unz, ;) there is an obvious kneejerk reflex to obfuscate what happened on 9/11, (the false flag pretext to all these wars for Israel), and rationalize and dissemble, because for the American people to ever really understand what happened on 9/11, would not be 'good for the Jews', you see?

    Did you know that the mantra that most Jews grow up with is that they must always consider in their heart of hearts, at all times, the motivation: 'what is good for the Jews' ?

    So what that does is it creates a meme in their psyches that puts Jewish interests, (however they're perceived) over the interests of the people among whom they live, you see?

    And this can cause problems, when those interests conflict (which at times they must).

    Just consider 9/11, and the fact that the Israeli government knew it was going to happen, but didn't warn Americans in peril of being horrifically slaughtered in fireballs of hell.

    Even Jews died in those flames, and yet Bibi and the government of Israel were happy about it... Bibi even blurting out that 9/11 was "very good", and that it would create sympathy for Israel.

    Now there are and have been some Jews who've pointed out all of this treachery, like the Jewish Army War College Prof. Alan Sabrosky and others, but the problem isn't Jewish individuals, but rather the collective evils that are a consequence of concentrated Jewish power.

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/03/04/opinion/4wed1WEB/4wed1WEB-master1050.jpg

    just look at those sniveling sycophants gushing over that man who not only cheered the deaths of Americans on 9/11, but also knew they were going to be killed and let it happen, because doing so was considered 'good for Israel'.

    It isn't your Jewish dentist who's to blame for this, but the treasonous congress-critters who slavishly worship the Jewish media and financial power to make or break their re-election ambitions, you see?

    So it isn't the average Jew on the street who are the problem, except insofar as they're unwilling to hold the Jewish criminals to account.

  639. Someone should ask why are America’s Jews driving America’s wars. It was pointed out in this conversation that there is a general reduction of white men occurring in the United States, and the logical question is who is going to fight the wars for Israel? Women, trannies, minorities? Wars are a very good way of reducing a population. Open borders, multiculturalism, promotion of feminism and gay culture are other good ways to reduce a population. All of these have been initiated by similar ethnic interests and it makes the object of the cultural Marxist social war fairly clear.

    United States Establishes First Permanent Military Base in Israel

    There should be no US troops or aid to Israel. But calling this a “base” is a bit of a misnomer. Saying the US now has a few dozen troops stationed in Israel would be more correct. The “base” is nothing but a barracks and another building or two on an Israeli base.

    Or do you consider a German barracks on a US base to be a “German base”?

    Yes, it is legal semantics, but definitions do matter. It is probably classed as a “facilities only site” by the DOD.

    Amen brother! And I would like to throw some gasoline on your Neocon fire. President Trump has never worked with military generals before and he is extremely naive to their absolute Machiavellian manipulation of him. Most generals today are expert political backstabbers who advanced during the tragic Neocon and PC era of the past 30 years. Who can forget the disgusting General Casey when he said, "And what happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here." The generals that Trump hired for his administration are now running circles around him, particularly McMaster. They want war to keep the Neocons happy and that is what this crop of generals has been trained to do.

    I always find it hilarious when blatant anti-Semites blame Jews for the ills of the country, or the world. The fact that so many people can, with a straight face, that a country of less than 9 million, minus the approximate 20% of the population that is Arab, which is about 2 million, so 7 million has the power to influence and control events in a world with over 7 BILLION people. Is that what you are saying?

    When you get right down to it though, you people are saying that only the rich, influential Jews around the world are the ones controlling the course of the Middle East, the United States and God only knows how many other countries so that number is what, about 20 to 30 thousand people? Hell, let’s go crazy and say it’s one hundred thousand people. Is that what you are saying?

    Seriously, is that what you people truly believe? If so then perhaps you should consider investing in Alcoa and other aluminum processors so you can have a ready supply of foil hats available to block out their insidious mind control beams.

    Antisemitism is the one of the longest running games of finger pointing in the history of mankind. Since before the time of Christ Jews have been the world’s whipping post, with no reasonable reason given. I seriously thought that thinking like this had gone the way of the pogroms that swept from one end to the European and Asian continents and back again in the middle Ages, which is what your level of reasoning amounts to.

    All I can say is thank God that you people are a distinct minority in the world and that your paranoia filled conspiracies are still nothing but the ravings of a minuscule fringe of today’s society. And God help us if you ever break into the mainstream.

    Do you deny the basic theme of Giraldi's article, to wit that Jewish organizations like AIPAC and rich Jews like Sheldon Edelson are keen to get the US into a war against Iran for Israel's benefit?

    Giraldi is not blaming the Jews "for the ills of the country, or the world" as you suggest. Giraldi makes the case convincingly that the Jewish establishment have a very significant degree of control over US middle eastern policy and that that is detrimental to the USA as it puts Israeli interests ahead of American interests.

Suppose that he had chosen his language differently and made his point without all of the Jew mongering; the article could still have legs out there. The outside discussion could be going on about extremist hawks and warmongers leading us into more failed wars. Instead, it is all about dem Jews. If you are sincere about ending our excessive interventions and wars, why would you make the discussion about Jews rather than the wars and the people who initiate and goad them along? You have switched the focus from excessive war and intervention on the part of the US to dem Jews, and that insures that the important issue, too many wars, will not be discussed.

    E Michael Jones explains it here (10 min in)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obtgaZ97Kdc

    "God gave us free will; he gave us the choice to accept or reject god . . .
    Jews rejected the messiah . . . and they killed him. In rejecting Jesus the messiah they rejected god, they rejected logos . . .
    The gospel of John starts with, "In the beginning was the word" . . . what does word mean? In the Greek, it's "logos."
    Logos is the order of the universe. Logos is the mind of god . . . Logos is the voice in us that tells us what is right and what is wrong . . ."

    Great video. Thanks.

    I think what you are saying is that the Logos is an ‘overmind’ to which we are all innately linked and from which intuition springs. When the link is strong, our Logos-fed intuition naturally guides us towards value systems, cultures and legal systems that are in tune with natural law. On a societal level, everything flows naturally and there is peace.

    But when the link is severed, the newly isolated beings must build their own artificial value systems based upon a self-referential complex of core beliefs such as ‘we are the chosen people’ and ‘I think therefore I am’ and ‘there is no God’. As these foundations are artificial and arbitrary, subsequent thinking is freed of moral/ethical restrictions and societal depravity may arise.

    It seems to me that what we’re really talking about here is satanism. Rather than allow the emergence of a belief system grounded in the Logos, the satanist first rejects existent belief systems then creates a new one and keeps it levitating in mental space purely by the energy of their own conscious intent. They believe they are the true masters of the universe and hone their metal abilities to create and maintain mental realities in accordance with their ego’s desire. They fool themselves, and lots of other people too.

    So then, is exile from Israel a metaphor for the satanist’s mental departure from the Logos?

    Thank you for the thoughtful response.

    The concept of Satan never played a large role in my thinking.

    I do rely on a lecture I heard about Francis Bacon, said to be a father of the Enlightenment. Bacon insisted that the basis for knowledge -- or the "first premise" in a logical argument (syllogism) -- should be derived from observations of nature, not from authority (where authority, in Bacon's time, meant the Church).
    Anyway, Bacon liked to create metaphors and similes. He said there are three types of thinkers, Ants, Spiders, and Bees. Ants are very diligent, they scurry around gathering (information) but they do not put it to effective use.
    Spiders draw upon a substance within themselves to spin theories and ideas; they do not necessarily relate to reality or truth (Truth being The Mind's Assent to Reality).
    Bees also are very busy about gathering nectar (information) from nature, which they take to an organizing center where it is put in its proper place and put to creative use. (Spoiler Alert: Bees = the ideal Enlightenment thinker).

    When Ron Suskind quoted someone in the Bush White House as having said, "We create reality . . ." -- I thought, That is Spider thinking. And I believe Jews specialize in Spider thinking: they are very creative; they firmly believe that the web woven in their brains IS reality. But it often is not supported by the evidence of nature.

    Why should the US be regarded as dangerously threatened by a pipsqueak (comparatively) like Iran just because of the hostility expressed by Iran to US military bases in its part of the world, especially when the US has a history of interference in Iranian affairs in theinterests of Americans and favoured allies?

    I am sure you know the answer to your own question. Obviously, it takes much more than a regional power to threaten the U.S. mainland; Iran certainly does not fit the bill.

    I’ll be clear. There exists today, no reason to expect a war with Iran, neocon saber-rattling notwithstanding, theatrics from the Iran fan club notwithstanding either.

    That doesn’t wish away, however, a few simple facts: the U.S. is, like it or not, the major global power with global interests to safeguard and advance; a power called upon to finance and guarantee the free ingress and egress of goods and services over every channel on the Earth’s surface and above. That these functions encounter resistance as the world re-balances is fully priced in; remarkable, or rather unremarkable, is the failure on the part of many to recognise the view from a long historical perspective, that the conduct of the U.S. as anything but good, misconducts exiguous, and moreover, the all too predictable repercussions, certain to arise, were the U.S. to not safeguard her interests and withdraw from bases of which the 36 are integral.

    To reiterate, the U.S. does not seek war with Iran. But what could possibly be the set of reasons to ignore explicit threats against her military bases? If we have military bases surrounding Iran it is only so at the invitation of those nations hosting them, nations which positively care to align with U.S. policies.

    fully priced in?

    like the oil embargo we suffered when Nixon pulled out all the stops to save Israel's arse after she attacked her neighbors in 67? You remember, the year of the cowardly attack on the USS Liberty?

    was that priced in?

    how about all the hatred and inflated oil prices the energy hungry US has suffered for decades since Jewish terrorists murdered the inhabitants of Palestine and stole their land? How many billion$ has been looted from the American tax slave to lavish on Israel and Egypt in order to bribe them to get along?

    was that priced in?

    what about the serial wars we've fought against Israel's well-earned enemies over the years and decades? You can even go back to the Balfour Declaration to see that Jews have been using treachery and corruption to drag Americans into wars on their behalf for over a century.

    Was that priced in, eh Sam?

    how about 9/11, and the loss of our hard won freedoms, codified in blood by our sacred Constitution, all tossed out the window by neocon regimes in order to effectively make all Americans into Palestinians, with check points and total police state surveillance. Even if you leave out that it was obviously Israel that had its fingers all over 9/11.

    Was that also priced in?

    not to mention the racial strife and hatred and cultural sewage America suffers from a Hollywood and Madison Ave. that relentlessly portrays (especially German and Southern) white men as evil or pathetic or both.

    how do we price that in Sam? By what metric do we cypher the cost of relentless hatred and abuse and untold victims of hate-crimes against whites that are always spiked and ignored by the Jewish media?

    how do we calculate the cost of wars, loss of our freedoms, well-earned hatred of the people of the planet who are sick of our serial belligerence on behalf of that 'shitty little state', not to mention all the cultural rot and hatred and racial tension that can all be traced right back to Jewish Hollywood and all those precious SJW celebrities that refer to us as irredeemable and deplorable because we're sick and tired of being second-class citizens in our own countries.

    What about the serial looting on Wall Street with Goldman Sachs holding the keys to our Treasury? Or the missing trillions from the Pentagon under the watchful eye of Israeli citizen rabbi Dov Zakheim?

    I doubt it will be a simple matter to price all of that in, and figure just how much this special relationship has actually cost America in blood and treasure and something even more important; our very souls.

    Israel has made us Americans into genocidal, mass-murdering fiends on the global stage Sam.

    Before replying I glanced at the other replies and, at least at first glance, I think the questioning of "priced in" is a major and valid point.

    Otherwise... I would say you are a real time realist compared to me. Maybe I should leave my criticisms of America for its past and systematic failures in the waste basket of naive dreams. However....

    I am hardly a naive idealist. I am a calculator and imaginative about what can go wrong, and I think I have a pretty realistic view of the range of human follies and prejudices. Consistently - I would say because I have long seen America's actual and growing weaknesses - I have seen America's true course as engaging China, especially, and Russia, with India perhaps to follow, in the management of the world. Instead of American hubris leading to impoverishment of the masses by militarism there could have been a flattering acknowledgment of what the great Chinese civilisation and the stalwart Russian people had to contribute to a highly innovative post Cold War world.

    I have long said that neither the Chinese nor the Indians are going to let a bunch of oil rich Arabs or other Muslims hold them to ransom so, especially since the fracking revolution, why does the US spend its treasure on hubristic neo-con (including Rumsfeld and Cheney) fantasies except that the mind of the born again ex-governor of Texas was a vacant space waiting to be occupied by the few Americans who had mental passports and otganised ideas about the rest of the world.

    Another version of my kind of realism you can treat as a test case..... While Australia should not drop the defence advantages it gets from close alliance with the US it should continue to treat itself as a country under no major threat in the forseeable future. Consider the populous and or rich and or powerful countries in our neighbouhood.

    Would any one of Indonesia, China, Japan, South Korea or India take lightly interference with the well run quarry (and education provider to 500,000 of their children) that Australia is and will be for dwcades to come? Why couldn't the US have invited China and India to take over the burden and opportunities in Afghanistan? At least since frackung took off why shouldn't the Muslim ME and Central Asia be left to China, India and Russia to keep in order?

    I always find it hilarious when blatant anti-Semites blame Jews for the ills of the country, or the world. The fact that so many people can, with a straight face, that a country of less than 9 million, minus the approximate 20% of the population that is Arab, which is about 2 million, so 7 million has the power to influence and control events in a world with over 7 BILLION people. Is that what you are saying?

    When you get right down to it though, you people are saying that only the rich, influential Jews around the world are the ones controlling the course of the Middle East, the United States and God only knows how many other countries so that number is what, about 20 to 30 thousand people? Hell, let's go crazy and say it's one hundred thousand people. Is that what you are saying?

    Seriously, is that what you people truly believe? If so then perhaps you should consider investing in Alcoa and other aluminum processors so you can have a ready supply of foil hats available to block out their insidious mind control beams.

    Antisemitism is the one of the longest running games of finger pointing in the history of mankind. Since before the time of Christ Jews have been the world's whipping post, with no reasonable reason given. I seriously thought that thinking like this had gone the way of the pogroms that swept from one end to the European and Asian continents and back again in the middle Ages, which is what your level of reasoning amounts to.

    All I can say is thank God that you people are a distinct minority in the world and that your paranoia filled conspiracies are still nothing but the ravings of a minuscule fringe of today's society. And God help us if you ever break into the mainstream.

    Do you deny the basic theme of Giraldi’s article, to wit that Jewish organizations like AIPAC and rich Jews like Sheldon Edelson are keen to get the US into a war against Iran for Israel’s benefit?

    Giraldi is not blaming the Jews “for the ills of the country, or the world” as you suggest. Giraldi makes the case convincingly that the Jewish establishment have a very significant degree of control over US middle eastern policy and that that is detrimental to the USA as it puts Israeli interests ahead of American interests.

    The fastest way to bankrupt a nation is to engage in endless warfare.

    Wall Street’s initiation of WW I and WW II (Robert Stinnett, DAY OF DECEIT) is well documented. After 1947, the task was given to the CIA to conceal WS involvement (Stephen Kinzer, THE BROTHERS; David Talbot, DEVIL’S CHESSBOARD; John Perkins, CONFESSIONS OF ECONOMIC HIT MAN).

    CIA action has evolved into SE Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran. (Douglas Valentine, CIA AS ORGANIZED CRIME; Michel Chossudovsky, GLOBALIZATION OF WAR). [Valentine has written CIA actions he has seen overseas is observed in the US.] Multitudinous world-wide actions are documented by William Blum (KILLING HOPE) with numerous updates added on the internet by others.

    And still our Republicans attempt to tout fiscal responsibility includes unlimited military expenditure even after the audit of billions of dollars loss investigation in the Pentagon being destroyed by the 9/11 target by ferriners? And nobody fingers WS ??

  658. Well said. The cost of ignoring the obvious is too great and we need to man up and say what needs to be said for the sake of all the people whose lives will be lost or ruined by further wars. Russia is also a Jewish issue. Jews preferred Russia under Communism. They have centuries old hostilities with the Slavs and look to US, EU and NATO to keep the Slavs from self-government and on the path to PC now that Communism is gone and Christianity is reviving. Why American Christians seem not to have noticed or to care that 70 years of outlawing and vilifying the faith have come to an end is beyond me. Self-hating Christians? Learned haplessness? Republican’s Disease? ALSO, Jews worry that North Korea will help Iran arm itself against Israel and are considerably more likely than gentiles to push us into irrational nuclear catastrophe. Kim correctly fears US neocons have regime change in mind and don’t care if a large number of Koreans get killed along the way.

    I am sure you know the answer to your own question. Obviously, it takes much more than a regional power to threaten the U.S. mainland; Iran certainly does not fit the bill.

    I'll be clear. There exists today, no reason to expect a war with Iran, neocon saber-rattling notwithstanding, theatrics from the Iran fan club notwithstanding either.

    That doesn't wish away, however, a few simple facts: the U.S. is, like it or not, the major global power with global interests to safeguard and advance; a power called upon to finance and guarantee the free ingress and egress of goods and services over every channel on the Earth's surface and above. That these functions encounter resistance as the world re-balances is fully priced in; remarkable, or rather unremarkable, is the failure on the part of many to recognise the view from a long historical perspective, that the conduct of the U.S. as anything but good, misconducts exiguous, and moreover, the all too predictable repercussions, certain to arise, were the U.S. to not safeguard her interests and withdraw from bases of which the 36 are integral.

    To reiterate, the U.S. does not seek war with Iran. But what could possibly be the set of reasons to ignore explicit threats against her military bases? If we have military bases surrounding Iran it is only so at the invitation of those nations hosting them, nations which positively care to align with U.S. policies.

    Yo, Sam, your outdoing yourself in contorted abductive reasoning.

    At the same time, there are — what, a dozen? more than a dozen? — brand new/one-time commenters to this article,

    Did Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, division of Hasbara hire on a bunch of temps? Are they threatening your rank? Are you a-fearing one of them might develop talents at diversion and obfuscation that outstrip your own?


    As for you Phil — you do realize that this article is going to cost the US taxpayer, don’t you? Somebody is going to have to pay for these extraneous keyboard warriors. I suggest we all phone our Congresscritters and respectfully suggest that they inform their AIPAC handlers that unless Israel outsources Hasbara to a call center in Bangalore, the annual stipend will be increased by only 4%.

    Over at David Icke forum, one commenter gave an Amazon link (dead) for Legions of Satan, while others cite sources claiming the book had been removed from the Library of Congress, once was in 50 libraries, but none now, etc...

    When I last visited this issue several years ago, I recall finding more on it, but many of the links seem to have gone dead. As it stands, I can't find much to support the idea that McCarthy even gave such a speech

If you are sincere about ending our excessive interventions and wars, why would you make the discussion about Jews rather than the wars and the people who initiate and goad them along? You have switched the focus from excessive war and intervention on the part of the US to dem Jews, and that insures that the important issue, too many wars, will not be discussed.

    Hey iffen,

    I wouldn't have worded some of the things the same way - due to the same concerns you brought up. I think Neocons and war-mongers of all stripes need to be targeted and exposed (and definitely many of them are Israeli-firsters whether they are Jews or not) - for instance, Saudis get too easy of a pass on these issues.

    I did think Mr. Giraldi was attempting to clarify by using phrases like:
    Those American Jews who...
    For those American Jews who...

    But it seems some of the better insights he has in the matter (and some of his suggestions about common sense policies in putting neutral people in positions like ambassadors - for instance, I should not be allowed to be an ambassador to Pakistan since I still have family there) are being drowned out by the cloud of controversy - which is a shame.

    Peace.

    When you say 'outside' and 'out there', are you talking about the Jewish-controlled corporate media and social networks that fire journalists, terminate accounts, and censor comments that might offend the tribe?

    So what you are really saying is, if it didn't keep calling out the Jews, the Jews would like it more. Well that's certainly logical!

We know full well that they are a problem and we assign great respect to authors such as Mr. Giraldi who are able to clearly, eloquently and fairly point out the elephant in the room and all the damage it's causing to the furniture.

    It is important to distinguish between American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.
     
    I'll take a shot..

    Geo, nor any other critic of some of the things Israel does, has never condemned (as far as I'm aware) all Jews everywhere.

    nor are the millions of Jewish minions guilty of a crime. Rather it's the support for evil their leaders promote that is the problem. The tacit support, without which, the Palestinian people would not be getting genocided.

    You see iffen, were it not for the tacit support from the world's sanguine Jews for so many evils, (like the serial wars for Israel), perhaps some of these wars and evil might be brought to heal, no?

    Imagine if every Jew in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!

    But that won't happen, will it iffen, because just as with the wiz and other Jews here at Unz, ;) there is an obvious kneejerk reflex to obfuscate what happened on 9/11, (the false flag pretext to all these wars for Israel), and rationalize and dissemble, because for the American people to ever really understand what happened on 9/11, would not be 'good for the Jews', you see?

    Did you know that the mantra that most Jews grow up with is that they must always consider in their heart of hearts, at all times, the motivation: 'what is good for the Jews' ?

    So what that does is it creates a meme in their psyches that puts Jewish interests, (however they're perceived) over the interests of the people among whom they live, you see?

    And this can cause problems, when those interests conflict (which at times they must).

    Just consider 9/11, and the fact that the Israeli government knew it was going to happen, but didn't warn Americans in peril of being horrifically slaughtered in fireballs of hell.

    Even Jews died in those flames, and yet Bibi and the government of Israel were happy about it... Bibi even blurting out that 9/11 was "very good", and that it would create sympathy for Israel.

    Now there are and have been some Jews who've pointed out all of this treachery, like the Jewish Army War College Prof. Alan Sabrosky and others, but the problem isn't Jewish individuals, but rather the collective evils that are a consequence of concentrated Jewish power.

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/03/04/opinion/4wed1WEB/4wed1WEB-master1050.jpg

    just look at those sniveling sycophants gushing over that man who not only cheered the deaths of Americans on 9/11, but also knew they were going to be killed and let it happen, because doing so was considered 'good for Israel'.

    It isn't your Jewish dentist who's to blame for this, but the treasonous congress-critters who slavishly worship the Jewish media and financial power to make or break their re-election ambitions, you see?

    So it isn't the average Jew on the street who are the problem, except insofar as they're unwilling to hold the Jewish criminals to account.

    Somehow I'm reminded of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was exalted to the head of the DNC by president Obama, only to return the favor by going to watch her patron be humiliated in his own capital house by Bibi, who mocked the president, and had in attendance a Jewish head of the DNC, who decided to symbolically repudiate the leader of her party, to stand in fealty with the man who mocked the deaths of so many Americans on 9/11, and who came to Washington to demand that more Americans die in contrived wars to benefit Israel.

    whew

    I feel a little off whenever I discuss such iniquity and evil, and point these things out to an insouciant world.

    Google (or Bing or DuckDuckGo) the "dancing Israelis"

    a group of five Mossad agents were arrested after they were seen dancing and 'high fiving' and celebrating the first plane hitting the WTC. They were held by the FBI for several months until Israeli citizen and future head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff allowed them to quietly return to Israel, where they eventually went on Israeli television and explained that they were there to "document the event".

    If they were there to document the event, then the Mossad knew that 9/11 was about to happen. And if the Mossad knew, then the Israeli government also knew.

    the owner of the WTC, one 'Lucky Larry Silverstein', was (and presumably still is) a close friend of Netanyahu, and they were known to speak on the phone regularly.

    check out 'Lucky Larry' too, (if you have a strong stomach)
    , @geokat62

    What is your source or sources or argument for saying Israel knew in advance about 9/11?
     
    This is the best source of information that corroborates this claim:

    This news report in the Philadelphia Times Herald might shock the average reader, but its subject is surely familiar to longtime readers of Antiwar.com:

    “A memorandum sent to the 9/11 Commission, and Senate and House intelligence committees in September 2004, suggests that young Israelis who canvassed dozens of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) offices in 2000 and 2001 trying to sell paintings to federal workers, may have been spying not only on the DEA, but also on Arab extremists in the United States – including the Sept. 11 hijackers who were living in Florida and New Jersey.”

    The author of this memorandum [.pdf] is Gerald Shea, a retired corporate lawyer. Shea – an alumnus of Phillips Academy, Yale (1964), and Columbia Law School – was associated for many years with one of New York’s most prominent law firms, in New York and Paris, and his memo reads like a lawyer’s brief: it is written with the same meticulous attention to details of time and place, and with a lawyerly regard for maintaining a high standard of evidence.

    Shea comes to substantially the same conclusion that I did in a series of columns I started writing in late December 2001, the substance of which is contained in a short book, The Terror Enigma: 9/11 and the Israeli Connection: that the Israelis were engaged in spying on U.S. soil in the months leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, that these agents were concentrated in the two areas where the 9/11 hijackers lived and planned their atrocities – Hollywood, Fla., and two counties in New Jersey, Bergen and Hudson – and that they did not share all they knew about preparations for the attack with U.S. authorities.
     


    Shea writes:

    “Why the Israeli government decided not to share with us all the critical information they had, and the extent of that information, is a subject for the public inquiry. They may have thought some sort of warning prudent in the event their surveillance activities later became a matter of public knowledge. But any energetic Israeli effort to assist the United States in preventing the attacks would not have served their strategic interest, in view of the disastrous effect those attacks were likely to have on the relationships between the United States and the Arab world. As a leader of the Israeli New Jersey Group said when he was arrested on the afternoon of September 11, ‘We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems.'”

    Students of this subject will not be surprised by much of what is contained in the Shea memorandum, but there are significant new details unearthed by Shea’s research and his thoroughness, particularly in tracing the parallel movements of the 9/11 hijackers (and their known associates) and the Israelis. Shea shows the Israelis had the means, the motive, and the physical proximity to track the hijackers’ movements and intercept the details of their plans. Of particular interest is how some of the hijackers came to be put on the FBI’s watch list – too late to do any good, but in time to provide the Israelis with a cover story if their shadowing activities came to light – which suggests a cover-up of major proportions.

    The “Able Danger” data-mining operation that supposedly uncovered the New Jersey cell of the 9/11 plotters was – for some reason yet to be determined – blocked and prevented from apprehending key figures in the plot, according to the testimony of at least three people who have direct knowledge of this matter. Shea’s memo opens up a possibility that may relate to (and explain) the “Able Danger” blockage: was surveillance of Arab terrorist groups in the U.S. subcontracted out to the Israelis, with the knowledge and complicity of the CIA, so that “Able Danger” was considered poaching on the Israelis’ preserve? Shea cites a piece in The Forward that describes Israeli covert activities in the U.S. as a violation of “a secret gentleman’s agreement between the two countries,” and avers:

    “The real question today, however, appears to be whether the ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ did indeed prevail here and, because we lacked adequate warning from our surrogates who were keeping the Arabs under surveillance, helped bring us to disaster.”

    Discussion of this subject is, of course, considered a hate crime: I was attacked by David Frum and others for even raising the question of Israeli foreknowledge – although, tellingly, Frum never mentioned the Fox News four-part series by Carl Cameron that brought this story to widespread public attention. What could he say, after all – that Fox News is a bastion of liberal bias, and prejudiced against Israel? I don’t think so.

    Of particular interest are the various appendices. The DEA report on the “Israeli art students” has been public for some time, but readers will find Exhibit B very informative: this lists the various hijackers according to their geographical locations in one column and the Israeli agents detained and deported or otherwise identified in the other. The maps at the end of the memo show this correlation in graphic terms: the effect is shocking. Whether shocking enough to shake the 9/11 Commission and our government officials out of their torpor remains to be seen. It brings home, visually, the significance of the following bit of dialogue – cited by Shea – between Brit Hume and Cameron at the conclusion of their first broadcast on the Israeli spy operation:

    Hume: “What about this question of advanced knowledge of what was going to happen on September 11? How clear are investigators that some Israeli agents may have known something?”

    Cameron: “It’s very explosive information, obviously, and there’s a great deal of evidence that they say they have collected, none of it necessarily conclusive. It’s more when they put it all together. A bigger question, they say, is how could they not have known?”

    Indeed. Now go read the whole thing…

She and everyone else in the political arena and media knows it to be true. I'm shocked she was so easily intimidated.

    Nevertheless, I will continue to post on internet articles about Mid East policy making your assessment as follows: “….the Israeli government is a rogue regime ….Worse still, it has successfully manipulated.. the US, and has done terrible damage both to our political system and to the American people, a crime that I just cannot forgive, condone, or explain away."

    And I also wanted to mention the disservice to this country and yourself done by Valerie Plame for her disavowal of this article, and even worse, her pandering apology for tweeting it.

    ROTFL. Actually, her disavowal only vindicated Giraldi’s point.

    any organization that aspires to be heard on foreign policy knows that to touch the live wire of Israel and American Jews guarantees a quick trip to obscurity. Jewish groups and deep pocket individual donors not only control the politicians, they own and run the media and entertainment industries, meaning that no one will hear about or from the offending party ever again.

    I think it’s turned into a game of know-but-no. Jewish globalists know they got the power. People like Plame know. They know-know but play no-no. It’s Mutual Pretense Pact on the premise that if you say No to what you Know, you will be showered with prizes. If not, you will be exiled.

    Everyone, this is all about the Jewish banking system. The only two countries’ banking systems that the Jews do not control are North Korea and Iran. Before 9/11 there were 5 or 6 countries that were not controlled by Jews. That changed quickly didn’t it? Once they have the last two banks, globalism will have won. Nationalism won’t mean anything. President Wilson lost America for us when he gave our money to the Federal Reserve, which is a private bank, to keep his extra-marital affair out of the Jewish press.

That these functions encounter resistance as the world re-balances is fully priced in; remarkable, or rather unremarkable, is the failure on the part of many to recognise the view from a long historical perspective, that the conduct of the U.S. as anything but good, misconducts exiguous, and moreover, the all too predictable repercussions, certain to arise, were the U.S. to not safeguard her interests and withdraw from bases of which the 36 are integral.

    To reiterate, the U.S. does not seek war with Iran. But what could possibly be the set of reasons to ignore explicit threats against her military bases? If we have military bases surrounding Iran it is only so at the invitation of those nations hosting them, nations which positively care to align with U.S. policies.

    the U.S. is, like it or not, the major global power with global interests to safeguard and advance; a power called upon to finance and guarantee the free ingress and egress of goods and services over every channel on the Earth’s surface and above. That these functions encounter resistance as the world re-balances is fully priced in

    fully priced in?

    like the oil embargo we suffered when Nixon pulled out all the stops to save Israel’s arse after she attacked her neighbors in 67? You remember, the year of the cowardly attack on the USS Liberty?

    was that priced in?

    how about all the hatred and inflated oil prices the energy hungry US has suffered for decades since Jewish terrorists murdered the inhabitants of Palestine and stole their land? How many billion$ has been looted from the American tax slave to lavish on Israel and Egypt in order to bribe them to get along?

    was that priced in?

    what about the serial wars we’ve fought against Israel’s well-earned enemies over the years and decades? You can even go back to the Balfour Declaration to see that Jews have been using treachery and corruption to drag Americans into wars on their behalf for over a century.

    Was that priced in, eh Sam?

    how about 9/11, and the loss of our hard won freedoms, codified in blood by our sacred Constitution, all tossed out the window by neocon regimes in order to effectively make all Americans into Palestinians, with check points and total police state surveillance. Even if you leave out that it was obviously Israel that had its fingers all over 9/11.

    Was that also priced in?

    not to mention the racial strife and hatred and cultural sewage America suffers from a Hollywood and Madison Ave. that relentlessly portrays (especially German and Southern) white men as evil or pathetic or both.

    how do we price that in Sam? By what metric do we cypher the cost of relentless hatred and abuse and untold victims of hate-crimes against whites that are always spiked and ignored by the Jewish media?

    how do we calculate the cost of wars, loss of our freedoms, well-earned hatred of the people of the planet who are sick of our serial belligerence on behalf of that ‘shitty little state’, not to mention all the cultural rot and hatred and racial tension that can all be traced right back to Jewish Hollywood and all those precious SJW celebrities that refer to us as irredeemable and deplorable because we’re sick and tired of being second-class citizens in our own countries.

    What about the serial looting on Wall Street with Goldman Sachs holding the keys to our Treasury? Or the missing trillions from the Pentagon under the watchful eye of Israeli citizen rabbi Dov Zakheim?

    I doubt it will be a simple matter to price all of that in, and figure just how much this special relationship has actually cost America in blood and treasure and something even more important; our very souls.

    Israel has made us Americans into genocidal, mass-murdering fiends on the global stage Sam.

    they’ve robbed our children of their innocence, and sent our young men and women to slaughter, main and displace millions of innocent people the world over or die trying.

    has that too been ‘priced in’ Sam?’

    Someone asked me for a list of all American Jews because they make up less than 2% of Americans. Well, 300,000,000 x 2% = 6,000,000. I’ll just consult the Complete Database Registry of American Jews and spook that off for him.

    I was raised Jewish. Never heard a single Jew state that “what’s good for the Jew” is a principle. Neither have I ever heard a single Jew profess a preference for Israel over the US. All I’ve ever heard is “Thank god I was born in the US, where I’m safe and free to love a ‘normal’ life.”

    Why are Jews obligated to speak out about Wolfowotz, et al? Are Christians obligates to speak out against every stupid Christian?

    And now I have people asserting that I’m not white? For realz? I sure LOOK white. I dress white. I play hockey, I shop at The Gap — I gotta be white!

    Why is it that none of the faithful here respond to assertions that the leadership is Christian. You know: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condi Rice; Trump, Pence, all the generals surrounding Trump. Christians all. But Da Joos is starting all dem wars, dammit!

    And what’s this “they’re not ‘real Jews’” stuff? WTF is a “real Jew”? What are you talking about?

    BTW, those supposed excerpts from the Talmud saying that Jews are to use Gentiles as servants are total BS. I know many here will simply find some “alt” site that says it’s true, and wouldn’t believe me even if I taught them to read and translate Hebrew (which would be a neat trick, because I don’t know how to read and translate Hebrew), they still wouldn’t believe it. (“Well, then how do you know it’s BS if you just admitted that you can’t translate it yourself?” Because I know someone who can, that’s how. Derp.) Since some seem to think themselves to learned in the Talmud, they should check out http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/van_hyning.html.

    Maybe the most important thing, re “Jews are the chosen people”. Do Christians not believe that one must accept Christ as his lord and savior to gain entry to heaven? Isnt it a fundamental tenet of all deist religions that it’s adherents are “right” in their worship? So, would it be so awful of Jews thought they worshipped in the “right” way? Now to really mess you up: it really means that Jews were (supposedly) chosen to spread gods word, not that they were superior.

    And how many people do you think believe any of that rot anyway? How many Jews do you think have read the Talmud? FFS, how many of the conspiracy theorists here have any contact with any Jews? Are you certain you’d even know, or that you wouldn’t like some of them if you did know them?

    You know why I’m Jewish? The same reason that the vast majority of people are Jewish/Christian/Muslim/whatever: because my parents are. Over the years, I occasionally went to temple, learned some lore (like the story of the Chanukah candles, or Masada, or the Maccabees kicking some ass) and came to feel like it was “my” history a bit, that my ancestors did some cool shit.

    Maybe the chasidim (the guys with the long sideburns) believe some of the nasty things attributed to Jews, or maybe they don’t, but if they did, it’d be like saying all Christians are nuts because Jim Jones served poison Kool Aid.

    I don’t want to move to Israel. I like it here. I don’t speak Hebrew and I don’t particularly want to learn. I like baseball, football, and hockey. I was born American and that’s where my allegiance is. Sure, I root for Israel, as I think it’s important that Jews have a place to run if Nazi-like insanity ever recurs, and because Israel is the most America-like country in the region. But I also root for Canada and England, because they too are like us and allies.

    This has become a ridiculously long rant. Can’t we all just be nice to each other? Is it that friggin’ hard?

    Goebbels couldn't express it better. According to Giraldi's philosophy, it was a great pitty that America followed the jewish credo and fought against symbols of morality such as Nazi Germany, U.S.S.R, Comunist China, Hussein's Iraq, El Qaida, ISIS and now possibly Iran and North Korea. What a cosmic paradise and heaven on earth America had lost by subordinating itself the subversive Jews who just happened to be on wrong side and against those pure angels adored by Philip Giraldi and his followers.

    LOL. Giraldi is not a fan of world powers. He’s skeptical of all power. Also, it was Jews, not people like Giraldi, who had a huge role in Soviet Bolshevism, which led to fears in Europe that led to support of Fascism and National Socialism. Also, it was Jews who during most of the Cold War attacked anti-communists as ‘paranoid’. Many Jews were opposed to the Vietnam War and cheered for Castro in Cuba. And it was Liberals who were happier with Nixon’s opening to China. Jews now bitch about Russia ‘hacking’ and stir up all this hysteria, but I grew up being told a million times by Jews how crazy this nation was during McCarthyite paranoia. Now, I understand. Jews were ‘anti-paranoia’ then and are now ‘pro-paranoia’ now for the same reason: Jewish interests. Back then, Wasp conservatives went after Jewish radicals. So, Jews denounced it as ‘paranoia’. Now, Jews got the supreme power and blacklist and censor their critics and enemies. So, they push ‘paranoia’ about ‘nazis’ and ‘kkk’.

    Giraldi isn’t admiring of foreign regimes. He just thinks US role in world affairs has often been self-serving or imperialist under the guise of ‘human rights’, a political weapon that is used so
    sham-selectively.
    In the past, Wasp Military Industrial Complex was most responsible for US military involvements.
    Today, much of US foreign policy revolves around Jewish neurosis since Jews are in top positions.
    Should the US, which is 98% gentile, be so slavish to Jewish interests? Now, if Israel is all about Jewish interests, that is understandable since it is a Jewish state that serves Jewish power.
    But when 98% of Americans who are not Jewish are supposed to serve Jewish interests in world affairs, that’s nuts. It’s like Hindus being forced to serve British interests than their own during the Age of Empire. Brits told Hindus that they are part of the Glorious British Empire and that their first loyalty must be to the King or Queen of Britain. But why?

    We don’t have to admire Russia, China, Iran, Syria, and etc. The thing is they are NOT ‘New Nazis’, and they pose no threat to us. Jews hate them because they are either a rival of Israel(esp Iran) or because they represent national sovereignty when so much of the world is now under the hegemony of Jewish-Homo hegemony.

    Also, Jewish Power gains from the clash of titans. If gentiles are bashing and hating one another, Jews can do yojimbo and work all sides against one another. Jews pose as friends to all of them while pitting all sides against each other. Notice how Netanyahu plays both Putin and the US. Because of the Holocaust-as-religion, it is taboo for ANY nation to badmouth Jews. So, all sides seek support of Jews. Even people who are attacked by Jews have to pay protection money to Jews. Russia does this all the time. Russia is the main target of Jewish ire, but Putin has to work with Jews to reduce the vitriol. Jewish venom against Russia knows no bounds, but Russians have to be very nice to Jews.
    If you’re a banker, you want to lend money to both sides. While they bash each other, they need your money. Also, if you don’t want the people to come after your kind, you have to make the people hate other people. As long as dumb Americans are made to hate Russians, Iranians, Chinese, Syrians, Venezuelans, North Koreans, Cubans, Libyans, and etc. they have no time to ponder WHO has the real Power.

    We are all Jews now
    By Gilbert Porter Blythe
    October 19, 2003

    Since September 11, 2001, George W. Bush has made no attempt to understand the motives of people who hate us. A few hours after the World Trade Center collapsed, he announced that "America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world." Two days later, he spoke of terrorists who "hate our values" and "hate what America stands for." President Bush has never deviated from this theme. He insists that attacks on our soldiers in Iraq are led by people who "hate freedom."

    In Mr. Bush's view, Arabs, the Taliban, al Qaeda, and Muslims all around the world do not hate us because we have hurt them or harmed their interests in any way. They hate us because they hate freedom, and America stands for freedom. It is only a small step to conclude that they hate us because we are good and they are bad. Some of the president's less simple-minded advisors paint a slightly more complex picture: Arabs are jealous of America's cultural and economic success, and their oppressive regimes channel internal discontent into hatred for America and Israel.

    It is convenient but dangerous for Americans to convince themselves that their enemies have no real grievances, but want to kill us only because they hate our goodness and blame us for their own failures. If they really hate us for what we are rather than what we do, they cannot be reasoned with but must be treated as dangerous madmen. We need not think seriously about their motives or consider what we may have done to injure or offend them.

    The almost deliberate blindness required for this point of view is particularly evident in the president's insistence that Iraqis attack our soldiers because the attackers "hate freedom." What they hate, of course, is occupation by foreigners, rule by infidels, daily humiliation, and the steady stream of Iraqi casualties added to the estimated tens of thousands we killed during the initial phase of the war. They do not hate freedom; they seek freedom from occupation and humiliation.

    To insist that Osama bin Laden also hates freedom is equally obtuse, in light of his clearly stated reasons for opposing the United States: the presence of American troops on the sacred soil of Saudi Arabia, economic sanctions against Iraq, and especially our unwavering support for Israel. In his October 18 message to Americans he was quite explicit: "We are counting our dead, may God bless them, especially in Palestine, who are killed by your allies the Jews. We are going to take revenge for them from your blood, God willing, as we did on the day of New York." Mr. bin Laden has frequently denounced what he describes as the cultural and moral decadence of the West, but he has never cited it as a reason to kill us.

    It is only by convincing ourselves we are the blameless victims of unfathomable hatred that we can justify acts that shock the world and that even our European allies oppose: preemptive war, unilateral violence, and detention without charges. We are so convinced of our own purity and of the irrational wickedness of our enemies that we turn on our former friends, most strikingly against the French, if they fail to understand that we are in a struggle of pure good versus pure evil.

    There is a not-coincidental similarity between the president's views of good and evil and the Jewish preoccupation with anti-Semitism. Jews have always insisted that if gentiles dislike them it is because of who they are, not what they do. Adopting a view like that of Mr. Bush's view of attacks against the United States, they refuse to consider whether their own actions may cause hostility. In the United States, the Anti-Defamation League, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and countless smaller organizations are on constant alert for anti-Semitism anywhere in the world, yet the ADL and the Wiesenthal Center are silent as to why anyone would dislike Jews. The Steven Roth Institute of Contemporary Anti-Semitism and Racism at Tel Aviv University has extensive files of reported anti-Semitism but nothing to say about what causes it. For those organizations, anti-Semitism is like Mr. Bush's conception of Osama bin Laden: an irrational upwelling of pure evil.

    Some Jews have tried to explain anti-Semitism. Hannah Arendt concluded that 20th-century anti-Semitism was an outgrowth of totalitarian Marxism and Nazism that somehow singled out Jews as unacceptable outsiders. Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer of the Frankfurt School argued that it was part of what they called "the authoritarian personality" and was something akin to mental illness. In his 1978 book In Bluebird's Castle, George Steiner wrote that Nazis were anti-Semites because Jews had better, more humane values. Robert Wistrich, who calls anti-Semitism "the longest hatred," published his views in a 1999 book whose title summarizes his findings: Demonizing the Other.

    Some Jews have argued that Christians hate Jews because they see them as "Christ-killers," but that does not explain persistent hostility toward Jews by the ancient Greeks and Romans, or why Muslims have repeatedly repressed Jews. The most common view among Jews is the one expressed by the World Union of Jewish Students in its brief Internet discussion of the causes of anti-Semitism, in which it concludes it is a "persistent hate without logic." That is an almost perfect expression of Mr. Bush's view of anti-American terror: it, too, is "hate without logic."

    The Jewish dismissal of gentile grievances is just as sweeping and self-serving as Mr. Bush's dismissal of Arab and Muslim grievances against us. Human beings do not "hate without logic." Sustained hatred takes too much energy for it to be wasted on millions of innocents. Over the centuries, Jews have been disliked because of their clannishness, contempt for non-Jews, disrespect for national institutions, disloyalty, sharp business practices, and many other things people do not like. But just as Mr. Bush has convinced himself that the Iraqis who attack our soldiers "hate freedom," Jews have convinced themselves they are blameless targets of irrational hatred.

    For many Jews, any criticism of Jews or of Israel is hatred and bigotry. Practically the entire world deplores Israel's treatment of Palestinians, yet the Israeli authorities refuse to examine their own motives or behavior. Instead, they insist their critics are anti-Semites, meaning, presumably, that if any other group treated Palestinians as they do, the world would approve.

    It is, of course, very much in the interest of American Jews to encourage Mr. Bush in his delusions about the motives of our enemies. Arabs and Muslims hate us primarily because we support Israel and pay for the weapons with which it kills Palestinians. If we were to think about the motives of terrorists rather than dismiss them as delusional murderers, we might reconsider our support for Israel. That would be anathema for Jews, many of whom make no secret of their passionate commitment to Israel.

    For the many influential Jews in Mr. Bush's circle and in the media, that is why it is important to encourage Americans to think like Jews, that is, to ignore or downplay the concrete reasons others may have to hate us, and to think of them as irrational fanatics who respond only to force. It is in the interest of Jews for gentiles to think like Jews, to see the world as a black-and-white battleground of the virtuous against the wicked, rather than as a complex tangle of competing claims in which there may be legitimacy on both sides. George W. Bush is only the most important and powerful convert to that view of the world.

    It would be entirely in keeping with our increasingly Jewish way of thinking to invent a new word, analogous to anti-Semitism, to describe those who hate freedom. "Anti-libertism" or "libertophobia" are awkward constructions, but with enough repetition, Americans could be trained to believe that all attacks on the United States are just vicious, irrational acts of "anti-libertism" to be forcibly put down. Acts of "anti-libertism" obviously would be the work of maniacs rather than rational men acting on real grievances.

    In fact, the word is unnecessary. We already have the word we need. Only America stands with Israel in a world filled with anti-Semites. Only the United States defended Israel when it bombed what it said was a terrorist camp in Syria in retaliation for a Palestinian suicide bombing in October. Only the United States and its client states — Micronesia and the Marshall Islands — voted with Israel against a UN General Assembly resolution in September urging Israel to withdraw its threat to "remove" Yasser Arafat. No fewer than 133 nations voted the other way. In 2001, when delegates to a conference on racism in South Africa criticized Israel, only the Americans walked out in solidarity with Israel. It is no surprise that the Arab world sees America and Israel as joint enemies. Muslims burn American flags at the same rallies at which they burn Israeli flags, and chant "death to America" with almost as much as passion as they chant "death to Israel."

    Mr. Bush may as well announce that American and Israeli interests really are indistinguishable, and that attacks on the United States are really attacks on Israel, motivated by the same blinkered hatreds. Let us therefore use the word that most readily comes to mind, and recognize that those who hate us are, first and foremost, anti-Semites and that hatred of America is simply another form of "the longest hatred." More than ever, in our thinking and in our behavior, we are all Jews now.

    Thanks for this.

    The Transparent Cabal presents evidence and argument for the claim that

    the origins of the American war on Iraq revolve around the United States’ adoption of a war agenda whose basic format was conceived in Israel to advance Israeli interests and was ardently pushed by the influential pro-Israeli American neoconservatives, both inside and outside the Bush administration

    Yo, Sam, your outdoing yourself in contorted abductive reasoning.

    At the same time, there are -- what, a dozen? more than a dozen? -- brand new/one-time commenters to this article,

    Did Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, division of Hasbara hire on a bunch of temps? Are they threatening your rank? Are you a-fearing one of them might develop talents at diversion and obfuscation that outstrip your own?

    ---
    As for you Phil -- you do realize that this article is going to cost the US taxpayer, don't you? Somebody is going to have to pay for these extraneous keyboard warriors. I suggest we all phone our Congresscritters and respectfully suggest that they inform their AIPAC handlers that unless Israel outsources Hasbara to a call center in Bangalore, the annual stipend will be increased by only 4%.

    You fall victim to linear thinking. I’ll only state this for your relief, that the pursuit of international negotiations, dealmaking if you will, is best practiced in layers. Warmer relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and therefore with other parties, are in the offing. Hasan Rouhani is deeply engaged in severely limiting the IRGC’s influence in the economy just as Mohd Bin Salman is seriously considering the removal of hardline al-Jubeir from his foreign ministry.

    No need to push yourself into this self-feeding binary world of mental tussles.

    I feel your pain, JoeCool, but on the flip side.

    When I go to the library to try to find out about what my Mother's life was like in Italy, and what she must have felt when she was forced to leave because of war, I'm confronted with row upon row upon row of books on holocaust, and this, that and the other Jew's expressions of their suffering, but very little about Italy, in an essential way.

    I know that thousands of Italians died in WWII -- most of them by Allies; and that tens of thousands of Italian children were orphaned by the war. But when I search online for information about "Italian war orphans," the top hits are about "the largest orphanage in Italy" in the war, that housed Jewish children, in a building that had been designed & built for Italians. Jews want the building preserved as a museum to "Jewish suffering."

    Jews have sucked all of the oxygen out of the affairs of not just Italy but of so many other countries and peoples.

    Can you understand this on a human level -- We want to pass on to our children and grandchildren what their grandparents' lives were like.

    I was trying to learn about the military campaign in which my Father was injured, and somehow came across articles in Der Spiegel about how German children are urged to demand that their grandparents 'fess up, before they die, "What did you do in the war, Grandpa? Did you apologize for killing Jews?"

    That's low.

    That's snaketurd low, JoeCool.

    I can't think of anything lower or more disgusting or dehumanizing than to teach a child to hate his grandpa.

    I get it that you, JoeCool, didn't do that. Somebody whose absorbed with hockey and baseball? Nah. (btw, to the extent that such activities represent What it means to be American, USA is screwed; such things are distractions -- but never mind ). So it wasn't you who started the campaign to teach German children to hate their grandparents.

    Somebody did.
    And it was probably Jews.

    As Art has pointed out numerous times, it was probably Big Jews.

    I can't get at Big Jews to deliver the punch in the face they so richly deserve for teaching children to hate their grandparents.
    Little Jews are more accessible.
    Somebody might come across you at a hockey game.
    Sometimes anger gets misdirected.

    If I'm wrong in thinking that it is really, really outrageous to teach children to hate their grandparents, go on a rant and tell me so.

    It's even broader and worse than that: Jewish-dominated 'histories' and media tell lies about what my forebears and my culture did and represented. Jews have manhandled and distorted my proud Italian heritage, and that's just a particle of what has been done to German culture, by Jews.

    MY people, MY parents, MY grandparents -- their lives had value, and heroism, and their suffering should be acknowledged. It MUST be acknowledged and it WILL be acknowledged.

    Jews have effectively and essentially demanded that only THEY are entitled to memorialization of their life experiences.

    What my parents and grandparents suffered is valueless, only Jews lives matter.

    So if someone takes a poke at you, or, heaven forfend, speaks or writes an inconvenient fact about Jewish malfeasance and thereby offends your sensitivities, consider that you may have found yourself on the totally incidental end of a misdirected but long-suppressed pain.
    And do what we in the non-Jewish world have been doing for all our lives: Suck. It. Up.

    My god, why are so many people convinced that Jews view gentiles as “others”? You think I think less of my kids because their mother is catholic? Or like my closest friends – none of whom is Jewish – any less? If there are these smoke-filled rooms where plots are hatched and monies disbursed, why haven’t I been invited? Not even once! It’s just so ridiculous…
     
    Hmm – as a fellow American and a Jew, do you not have responsivities to set things straight?

    I do not see you condemning Israel’s vile activities against the Palestinians – nor AIPAC’s control of congress – nor Jew monopoly control of the MSM – I do not see you begging for an honest investigation into 9/11.

    The “I’m just a good old American Joe” responsible for nothing is not righting the wrongs of the Big Jews. You should absolutely be worried – the question is, how are YOU going to right the ship?

    What we see in this comment is you typically crying “victim – victim – Jew victim.”

    Why do you assume that you are a typical Jew? And why do you think Jewish Power is aligned with how Jews like you think?

    Also, if Jews don't see gentiles as others, they should give up their Jewish identity which is inherently us-versus-them as it's premised on the notion of Jews having a special Covenant with God.

    Now, I don't mind Jews seeing gentiles as Others. I don't mind any people seeing other people as Others. They should.

    What bothers me is that Jews seem to think Others exist to support and serve interests that are meaningful only to Jews.

    I mean, why should I hate Russia, Iran, Syria, Libya, etc?

  674. Alan Dershowitz went on the Neo-Con Network Fox News and attacked “Girardi” for so-called “anti-Semitism.” Manners prevent me from suggesting that the anti-White scoundrel Dershowitz deliberately mispronounced the name of Giraldi just to be a snot.

    Joe Girardi was a fine baseball player and is now the manager of the New York Yankees. Since Dershowitz is a professor at Harvard in Boston, it could be that Dershowitz is so used to hearing “Girardi” while watching baseball games that he made an honest mistake. Since I don’t think Dershowitz is capable of any honesty whatsoever, I think Dershowitz did it to be a snot.

    Philip Giraldi should write about how Rupert Murdoch and the Murdoch Mob allows the Neo-Cons and those who support them to have prime television coverage of their opinions and worldviews. If Giraldi has covered Murdoch’s Neo-Con proclivities previously, perhaps he could update his stance on the Murdoch Mob.

    Google (or Bing or DuckDuckGo) the “dancing Israelis”

    a group of five Mossad agents were arrested after they were seen dancing and ‘high fiving’ and celebrating the first plane hitting the WTC. They were held by the FBI for several months until Israeli citizen and future head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff allowed them to quietly return to Israel, where they eventually went on Israeli television and explained that they were there to “document the event”.

    If they were there to document the event, then the Mossad knew that 9/11 was about to happen. And if the Mossad knew, then the Israeli government also knew.

    the owner of the WTC, one ‘Lucky Larry Silverstein’, was (and presumably still is) a close friend of Netanyahu, and they were known to speak on the phone regularly.

    check out ‘Lucky Larry’ too, (if you have a strong stomach)

    The Old Testament is Jewish – NOT Christian. The Old and New Testaments are NOT the same – there is a meaningful difference. The Old Testament is filled with evil – it has an evil bloody revengeful mean god in it. It celebrates Jew massacres and slaughters. The Old Testament is tribal — the New Testament universal and peace seeking.

    Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers – live by the sword die by the sword.”

    Jesus gave us a different view of god – his view is hopeful and forgiving.

    There are many foolish Christians who follow the Old Testament tribal imperatives of the Jews.

    The Old Testament bible pounders are not being Christian when they advocate tribal wars.

    It is important to distinguish between American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.
     
    I'll take a shot..

    Geo, nor any other critic of some of the things Israel does, has never condemned (as far as I'm aware) all Jews everywhere.

    nor are the millions of Jewish minions guilty of a crime. Rather it's the support for evil their leaders promote that is the problem. The tacit support, without which, the Palestinian people would not be getting genocided.

    You see iffen, were it not for the tacit support from the world's sanguine Jews for so many evils, (like the serial wars for Israel), perhaps some of these wars and evil might be brought to heal, no?

    Imagine if every Jew in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!

    But that won't happen, will it iffen, because just as with the wiz and other Jews here at Unz, ;) there is an obvious kneejerk reflex to obfuscate what happened on 9/11, (the false flag pretext to all these wars for Israel), and rationalize and dissemble, because for the American people to ever really understand what happened on 9/11, would not be 'good for the Jews', you see?

    Did you know that the mantra that most Jews grow up with is that they must always consider in their heart of hearts, at all times, the motivation: 'what is good for the Jews' ?

    So what that does is it creates a meme in their psyches that puts Jewish interests, (however they're perceived) over the interests of the people among whom they live, you see?

    And this can cause problems, when those interests conflict (which at times they must).

    Just consider 9/11, and the fact that the Israeli government knew it was going to happen, but didn't warn Americans in peril of being horrifically slaughtered in fireballs of hell.

    Even Jews died in those flames, and yet Bibi and the government of Israel were happy about it... Bibi even blurting out that 9/11 was "very good", and that it would create sympathy for Israel.

    Now there are and have been some Jews who've pointed out all of this treachery, like the Jewish Army War College Prof. Alan Sabrosky and others, but the problem isn't Jewish individuals, but rather the collective evils that are a consequence of concentrated Jewish power.

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/03/04/opinion/4wed1WEB/4wed1WEB-master1050.jpg

    just look at those sniveling sycophants gushing over that man who not only cheered the deaths of Americans on 9/11, but also knew they were going to be killed and let it happen, because doing so was considered 'good for Israel'.

    It isn't your Jewish dentist who's to blame for this, but the treasonous congress-critters who slavishly worship the Jewish media and financial power to make or break their re-election ambitions, you see?

    So it isn't the average Jew on the street who are the problem, except insofar as they're unwilling to hold the Jewish criminals to account.

    Somehow I'm reminded of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was exalted to the head of the DNC by president Obama, only to return the favor by going to watch her patron be humiliated in his own capital house by Bibi, who mocked the president, and had in attendance a Jewish head of the DNC, who decided to symbolically repudiate the leader of her party, to stand in fealty with the man who mocked the deaths of so many Americans on 9/11, and who came to Washington to demand that more Americans die in contrived wars to benefit Israel.

    whew

    I feel a little off whenever I discuss such iniquity and evil, and point these things out to an insouciant world.

    Imagine if every Jew in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!

    Well, why not then
    “Imagine if every Anglo-Saxon in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!”
    or, even better
    “Imagine if every CITIZEN in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!”

    Looking from outside this post has the most comments (and still running strong).

    But, looking at those comments……man……it’s………..interesting.

    A lot of them feel, for me, like:
    “A person is fat. He’s fat because he is weak and lazy. He can’t stop gorging on all those hamburgers. He can’t stand physical exercise, let alone physical work. But he can’t admit it to himself. So, he blames McDonald’s. And all his friends, all like him, agree. They have found the core cause for them being fat. Bad….bad….McDonald’s”.

    if the American people lost loved one fighting a war based on lies to benefit Israel in Iraq, and complained about neocon, Jewish treachery in the death of their loved ones, it's the same as a fat person blaming McDonalds?

    how many wars.. how many serial destabilizations.. how much torture and genocide and human misery must we Americans be forced to participate in - due to Jewish, Zionist, neocon treachery, before we're allowed to complain about it, with out being called a 'fat person complaining about McDonalds?

    I am sure you know the answer to your own question. Obviously, it takes much more than a regional power to threaten the U.S. mainland; Iran certainly does not fit the bill.

    I'll be clear. There exists today, no reason to expect a war with Iran, neocon saber-rattling notwithstanding, theatrics from the Iran fan club notwithstanding either.

    That doesn't wish away, however, a few simple facts: the U.S. is, like it or not, the major global power with global interests to safeguard and advance; a power called upon to finance and guarantee the free ingress and egress of goods and services over every channel on the Earth's surface and above. That these functions encounter resistance as the world re-balances is fully priced in; remarkable, or rather unremarkable, is the failure on the part of many to recognise the view from a long historical perspective, that the conduct of the U.S. as anything but good, misconducts exiguous, and moreover, the all too predictable repercussions, certain to arise, were the U.S. to not safeguard her interests and withdraw from bases of which the 36 are integral.

    To reiterate, the U.S. does not seek war with Iran. But what could possibly be the set of reasons to ignore explicit threats against her military bases? If we have military bases surrounding Iran it is only so at the invitation of those nations hosting them, nations which positively care to align with U.S. policies.

    “….guarantee the free ingress and egress of goods and services ….”

    That’s the claim, but the reverse is more relevant – “strategic denial.”

    “….among the aims …. is the objective of “protecting access to hydrocarbons and other strategic resources ……a task which includes ensuring against the vulnerability of those natural riches and ensuring that no other interested third parties, such as China, India, Japan, or Russia, obtain monopolies or preferential treatment.”

    Engdahl writes here about Africa, but the same applies to ME of course.

It’s just so ridiculous...

    I feel your pain, JoeCool, but on the flip side.

    When I go to the library to try to find out about what my Mother’s life was like in Italy, and what she must have felt when she was forced to leave because of war, I’m confronted with row upon row upon row of books on holocaust, and this, that and the other Jew’s expressions of their suffering, but very little about Italy, in an essential way.

    I know that thousands of Italians died in WWII — most of them by Allies; and that tens of thousands of Italian children were orphaned by the war. But when I search online for information about “Italian war orphans,” the top hits are about “the largest orphanage in Italy” in the war, that housed Jewish children, in a building that had been designed & built for Italians. Jews want the building preserved as a museum to “Jewish suffering.”

    Jews have sucked all of the oxygen out of the affairs of not just Italy but of so many other countries and peoples.

    Can you understand this on a human level — We want to pass on to our children and grandchildren what their grandparents’ lives were like.

    I was trying to learn about the military campaign in which my Father was injured, and somehow came across articles in Der Spiegel about how German children are urged to demand that their grandparents ‘fess up, before they die, “What did you do in the war, Grandpa? Did you apologize for killing Jews?”

    That’s low.

    That’s snaketurd low, JoeCool.

    I can’t think of anything lower or more disgusting or dehumanizing than to teach a child to hate his grandpa.

    I get it that you, JoeCool, didn’t do that. Somebody whose absorbed with hockey and baseball? Nah. (btw, to the extent that such activities represent What it means to be American, USA is screwed; such things are distractions — but never mind ). So it wasn’t you who started the campaign to teach German children to hate their grandparents.

    Somebody did.
    And it was probably Jews.

    As Art has pointed out numerous times, it was probably Big Jews.

    I can’t get at Big Jews to deliver the punch in the face they so richly deserve for teaching children to hate their grandparents.
    Little Jews are more accessible.
    Somebody might come across you at a hockey game.
    Sometimes anger gets misdirected.

    Someone asked me for a list of all American Jews because they make up less than 2% of Americans. Well, 300,000,000 x 2% = 6,000,000. I’ll just consult the Complete Database Registry of American Jews and spook that off for him.

    I was raised Jewish. Never heard a single Jew state that “what’s good for the Jew” is a principle. Neither have I ever heard a single Jew profess a preference for Israel over the US. All I’ve ever heard is “Thank god I was born in the US, where I’m safe and free to love a ‘normal’ life.”

    Why are Jews obligated to speak out about Wolfowotz, et al? Are Christians obligates to speak out against every stupid Christian?

    And now I have people asserting that I’m not white? For realz? I sure LOOK white. I dress white. I play hockey, I shop at The Gap -- I gotta be white!

    Why is it that none of the faithful here respond to assertions that the leadership is Christian. You know: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condi Rice; Trump, Pence, all the generals surrounding Trump. Christians all. But Da Joos is starting all dem wars, dammit!

    And what’s this “they’re not ‘real Jews’” stuff? WTF is a “real Jew”? What are you talking about?

    BTW, those supposed excerpts from the Talmud saying that Jews are to use Gentiles as servants are total BS. I know many here will simply find some “alt” site that says it’s true, and wouldn’t believe me even if I taught them to read and translate Hebrew (which would be a neat trick, because I don’t know how to read and translate Hebrew), they still wouldn’t believe it. (“Well, then how do you know it’s BS if you just admitted that you can’t translate it yourself?” Because I know someone who can, that’s how. Derp.) Since some seem to think themselves to learned in the Talmud, they should check out http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/van_hyning.html.

    Maybe the most important thing, re “Jews are the chosen people”. Do Christians not believe that one must accept Christ as his lord and savior to gain entry to heaven? Isnt it a fundamental tenet of all deist religions that it’s adherents are “right” in their worship? So, would it be so awful of Jews thought they worshipped in the “right” way? Now to really mess you up: it really means that Jews were (supposedly) chosen to spread gods word, not that they were superior.

    And how many people do you think believe any of that rot anyway? How many Jews do you think have read the Talmud? FFS, how many of the conspiracy theorists here have any contact with any Jews? Are you certain you’d even know, or that you wouldn’t like some of them if you did know them?

    You know why I’m Jewish? The same reason that the vast majority of people are Jewish/Christian/Muslim/whatever: because my parents are. Over the years, I occasionally went to temple, learned some lore (like the story of the Chanukah candles, or Masada, or the Maccabees kicking some ass) and came to feel like it was “my” history a bit, that my ancestors did some cool shit.

    Maybe the chasidim (the guys with the long sideburns) believe some of the nasty things attributed to Jews, or maybe they don’t, but if they did, it’d be like saying all Christians are nuts because Jim Jones served poison Kool Aid.

    I don’t want to move to Israel. I like it here. I don’t speak Hebrew and I don’t particularly want to learn. I like baseball, football, and hockey. I was born American and that’s where my allegiance is. Sure, I root for Israel, as I think it’s important that Jews have a place to run if Nazi-like insanity ever recurs, and because Israel is the most America-like country in the region. But I also root for Canada and England, because they too are like us and allies.

    This has become a ridiculously long rant. Can’t we all just be nice to each other? Is it that friggin’ hard?

    Can’t we all just be nice to each other? Is it that friggin’ hard?

    No we can’t and yes it is hard.

If you are sincere about ending our excessive interventions and wars, why would you make the discussion about Jews rather than the wars and the people who initiate and goad them along? You have switched the focus from excessive war and intervention on the part of the US to dem Jews, and that insures that the important issue, too many wars, will not be discussed.

    Hey iffen,

    I wouldn’t have worded some of the things the same way – due to the same concerns you brought up. I think Neocons and war-mongers of all stripes need to be targeted and exposed (and definitely many of them are Israeli-firsters whether they are Jews or not) – for instance, Saudis get too easy of a pass on these issues.

    I did think Mr. Giraldi was attempting to clarify by using phrases like:
    Those American Jews who
    For those American Jews who

    But it seems some of the better insights he has in the matter (and some of his suggestions about common sense policies in putting neutral people in positions like ambassadors – for instance, I should not be allowed to be an ambassador to Pakistan since I still have family there) are being drowned out by the cloud of controversy – which is a shame.

    Peace.

    There wouldn't be a discussion at all in that case any more than there is already. What is emphasized here is the Israeli connection, which is insufficiently discussed (as is the Saudi connection which is however less significant). I don't know if Mr. Giraldi is successful in this aim because his readers mostly seem to be either rabid anti-semites or rabid philo-semites. Possibly this is due to his phrasing, as for example the rather incendiary title to this article.

    Exactly.

    It's no secret that Cuban-Americans have had veto power over our foreign policy with regards to Cuba since the 1960's and continue to do so. Hell, Giraldi and his cohorts used to sponsor invasions by irregulars and assassination attempts on Castro. We even lost "real" American. Nobody got their panties in a big knot about Cuban-Americans. Nobody accuses Little Marco of dual loyalty.

    PLEASE stop saying “American Jews” . . .
     
    sorry.
    no can do.

    All Jews in the USA need to be made to feel extremely uncomfortable.

    A week or so ago a US Congressional committee held a hearing on Syria. More than two or three of the reps said things like, "There are good Muslims and bad Muslims. We need to persuade the good Muslims to call out the bad Muslims."

    In other words, in the view of the US Congress it is appropriate -- necessary, even, to put the entire Muslim community under the microscope so that we inherently good Americans may pass judgment on them, and also so that Muslim A can be induced to rat out Muslim B.

    I couldn't believe it.

    But if that's the way things work according to US Congress, then I see no reason why the same system should not apply to Jews, all American Jews. And given the cosmopolitanism of Jews, maybe not just American Jews but ALL Jews should be put under the microscope, examined and judged, and required to call out those of their number who offend against American interests.

    Yeah, sadly it’s only when you put it in this perspective, that it becomes clear how off-the-wall their entire approach in dealing with other peoples is; because it seems completely unimaginable to use this technique on them.

    A quick glance at history ought to convince the cleverer of the bunch to willingly try to stop the war machine which they are helping to fuel through their money and political pressure.

    I feel your pain, JoeCool, but on the flip side.

    When I go to the library to try to find out about what my Mother's life was like in Italy, and what she must have felt when she was forced to leave because of war, I'm confronted with row upon row upon row of books on holocaust, and this, that and the other Jew's expressions of their suffering, but very little about Italy, in an essential way.

    I know that thousands of Italians died in WWII -- most of them by Allies; and that tens of thousands of Italian children were orphaned by the war. But when I search online for information about "Italian war orphans," the top hits are about "the largest orphanage in Italy" in the war, that housed Jewish children, in a building that had been designed & built for Italians. Jews want the building preserved as a museum to "Jewish suffering."

    Jews have sucked all of the oxygen out of the affairs of not just Italy but of so many other countries and peoples.

    Can you understand this on a human level -- We want to pass on to our children and grandchildren what their grandparents' lives were like.

    I was trying to learn about the military campaign in which my Father was injured, and somehow came across articles in Der Spiegel about how German children are urged to demand that their grandparents 'fess up, before they die, "What did you do in the war, Grandpa? Did you apologize for killing Jews?"

    That's low.

    That's snaketurd low, JoeCool.

    I can't think of anything lower or more disgusting or dehumanizing than to teach a child to hate his grandpa.

    I get it that you, JoeCool, didn't do that. Somebody whose absorbed with hockey and baseball? Nah. (btw, to the extent that such activities represent What it means to be American, USA is screwed; such things are distractions -- but never mind ). So it wasn't you who started the campaign to teach German children to hate their grandparents.

    Somebody did.
    And it was probably Jews.

    As Art has pointed out numerous times, it was probably Big Jews.

    I can't get at Big Jews to deliver the punch in the face they so richly deserve for teaching children to hate their grandparents.
    Little Jews are more accessible.
    Somebody might come across you at a hockey game.
    Sometimes anger gets misdirected.

    If I'm wrong in thinking that it is really, really outrageous to teach children to hate their grandparents, go on a rant and tell me so.

    It's even broader and worse than that: Jewish-dominated 'histories' and media tell lies about what my forebears and my culture did and represented. Jews have manhandled and distorted my proud Italian heritage, and that's just a particle of what has been done to German culture, by Jews.

    MY people, MY parents, MY grandparents -- their lives had value, and heroism, and their suffering should be acknowledged. It MUST be acknowledged and it WILL be acknowledged.

    Jews have effectively and essentially demanded that only THEY are entitled to memorialization of their life experiences.

    What my parents and grandparents suffered is valueless, only Jews lives matter.

    So if someone takes a poke at you, or, heaven forfend, speaks or writes an inconvenient fact about Jewish malfeasance and thereby offends your sensitivities, consider that you may have found yourself on the totally incidental end of a misdirected but long-suppressed pain.
    And do what we in the non-Jewish world have been doing for all our lives: Suck. It. Up.

    This is a repulsive article, it really is. There's nothing wrong with being jewish and arguing for policies that might favor fellow jews: the policies are good or bad for the United States as well regardless of the religion of the people who advocate them, just as there is nothing wrong with being a woman and arguing for policies that might benefit women. This is a really repellant piece.

    It is more repellent when dual citizens argue for polices that are against the interests of the United States and the American people. Doesn’t matter what religion they are, but in the US it is primarily Israelis who work to harm our nation.

    Why is it that Jews get collectively blamed by Mr. Giraldi and many commenters on the article for the hawkish views of Jewish neoconservatives, but not praised for the dovish views of left-leaning Jewish anti-war activists and writers? Noam Chomsky, Glenn Greenwald, Howard Zinn, Max Blumenthal, Matt Yglesias, Eric Alterman, Phillip Weiss, etc.----Jews are highly overrepresented among prominent critics of American foreign policy as well as supporters. (Libertarian Jews, like Murray Rothbard, are also generally very critical of American foreign policy.)

    Indeed, the anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s and early 1970s was heavily Jewish (e.g. Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman). I presume that, based on the standards of collective responsibility he uses in this article, Mr. Giraldi would be happy to thank and praise American Jews collectively for their opposition to the epically disastrous Vietnam War, the architects of which were largely Gentiles. (Unlike the Jewish architects of the Iraq War, such as President George W. Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Gentile supporters of the war were mostly relatively low ranking officials, like speechwriter David Frum or "Special Assistant for [x, y z]" Elliot Abrams.)

    (To drop the sarcasm for a moment in case someone doesn't get this---I'm not in fact saying that Jews should collectively be praised for anti-Vietnam War activism; I think the idea of assigning collective moral responsibility to ethnic groups is stupid. I also, for instance, think it's stupid to collectively blame whites for African slavery, Germans for the Holocaust, Americans for crimes against Amerindians, etc. as opposed to the ideologies and institutions responsible for a given atrocity.)

    Why is it that Jews get collectively blamed by Mr. Giraldi and many commenters on the article for the hawkish views of Jewish neoconservatives, but not praised for the dovish views of left-leaning Jewish anti-war activists and writers?

    So, because five Jews take up all the MSM peace movement oxygen (always diverting attention away from Israel) – we must ignore the rest of the tribe’s activities?

    Where are the bulk of the Jews when it comes to Israeli atrocities – how about Jew control of congress – and Jew control of the media – and an honest investigation into 9/11? Where are Jew folk on these most important matters to all Americans? We know the truth – they are supporting the Big Jews – they support Israel first.

    Little Jews get blamed because they support the Big Jews who do all these evil things.

    These Little Jews need to get on the Big Jew web sites and publicly voice their disapproval.

    Until than they are as guilty as the Big Jews.

    Yelling Jew victim – Jew victim – Jew victim – is not going to get the Little Jews off the hook.

    the U.S. is, like it or not, the major global power with global interests to safeguard and advance; a power called upon to finance and guarantee the free ingress and egress of goods and services over every channel on the Earth’s surface and above. That these functions encounter resistance as the world re-balances is fully priced in
     
    fully priced in?

    like the oil embargo we suffered when Nixon pulled out all the stops to save Israel's arse after she attacked her neighbors in 67? You remember, the year of the cowardly attack on the USS Liberty?

    was that priced in?

    how about all the hatred and inflated oil prices the energy hungry US has suffered for decades since Jewish terrorists murdered the inhabitants of Palestine and stole their land? How many billion$ has been looted from the American tax slave to lavish on Israel and Egypt in order to bribe them to get along?

    was that priced in?

    what about the serial wars we've fought against Israel's well-earned enemies over the years and decades? You can even go back to the Balfour Declaration to see that Jews have been using treachery and corruption to drag Americans into wars on their behalf for over a century.

    Was that priced in, eh Sam?

    how about 9/11, and the loss of our hard won freedoms, codified in blood by our sacred Constitution, all tossed out the window by neocon regimes in order to effectively make all Americans into Palestinians, with check points and total police state surveillance. Even if you leave out that it was obviously Israel that had its fingers all over 9/11.

    Was that also priced in?

    not to mention the racial strife and hatred and cultural sewage America suffers from a Hollywood and Madison Ave. that relentlessly portrays (especially German and Southern) white men as evil or pathetic or both.

    how do we price that in Sam? By what metric do we cypher the cost of relentless hatred and abuse and untold victims of hate-crimes against whites that are always spiked and ignored by the Jewish media?

    how do we calculate the cost of wars, loss of our freedoms, well-earned hatred of the people of the planet who are sick of our serial belligerence on behalf of that 'shitty little state', not to mention all the cultural rot and hatred and racial tension that can all be traced right back to Jewish Hollywood and all those precious SJW celebrities that refer to us as irredeemable and deplorable because we're sick and tired of being second-class citizens in our own countries.

    What about the serial looting on Wall Street with Goldman Sachs holding the keys to our Treasury? Or the missing trillions from the Pentagon under the watchful eye of Israeli citizen rabbi Dov Zakheim?

    I doubt it will be a simple matter to price all of that in, and figure just how much this special relationship has actually cost America in blood and treasure and something even more important; our very souls.

    Israel has made us Americans into genocidal, mass-murdering fiends on the global stage Sam.

    they've robbed our children of their innocence, and sent our young men and women to slaughter, main and displace millions of innocent people the world over or die trying.

    has that too been 'priced in' Sam?'

    when Jews complain about the Holocaust, how many revisionists say they're like fat people complaining about McDonalds?

    I'm reminded of the way they laughed at Rachel Corrie, and called her 'bulldozer girl' and said how stupid she was for trusting an IDF soldier with her young life.

    I guess if her parents complain about how callously she was murdered, it would be like a fat person complaining about McDonalds, huh?

    "And I would add a few more names, Mark Dubowitz, Michael Ledeen and Reuel Marc Gerecht..."

    I suppose Ledeen still believes what he said fifteen years ago, when the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were still young and dewy-fresh:

    "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business".

    This even became known as "The Ledeen Doctrine"; I am sure he is very proud.

    Perhaps today he thinks Iran is a suitable "small crappy little country". If so, he is very badly mistaken.

    Israel is the shitty little country we should bomb the shit out of they deserve it for all their evil antics over the last 60 years they are the worst they are zionazis and they need to be shut down but Trump won’t ever do this he’s owned by Israel. Sad!

    or, even better
    "Imagine if every CITIZEN in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!"

    Looking from outside this post has the most comments (and still running strong).

    But, looking at those comments......man......it's...........interesting.

    A lot of them feel, for me, like:
    "A person is fat. He's fat because he is weak and lazy. He can't stop gorging on all those hamburgers. He can't stand physical exercise, let alone physical work. But he can't admit it to himself. So, he blames McDonald's. And all his friends, all like him, agree. They have found the core cause for them being fat. Bad....bad....McDonald's".

    Feels great.
    Explains everything.

    “A person is fat. ….So, he blames McDonald’s.

    so if the men on the USS Liberty blame Israel for murdering their friends and trying to murder them, it’s the same as a fat person blaming McDonalds?

    if the American people lost loved one fighting a war based on lies to benefit Israel in Iraq, and complained about neocon, Jewish treachery in the death of their loved ones, it’s the same as a fat person blaming McDonalds?

    how many wars.. how many serial destabilizations.. how much torture and genocide and human misery must we Americans be forced to participate in – due to Jewish, Zionist, neocon treachery, before we’re allowed to complain about it, with out being called a ‘fat person complaining about McDonalds?

    Pick the number:
    1. 1812 -Canada
    2, 1830 Indian Removal Act
    3. 1846-Mexico
    4. 1894-Hawaii
    5. 1895-Cuba
    6. 1899-Philippines

    Let's stop at 6 for the moment.

    So...when in all that push/expansion, by force of arms, Jews were instigators/in control?

    I feel your pain, JoeCool, but on the flip side.

    When I go to the library to try to find out about what my Mother's life was like in Italy, and what she must have felt when she was forced to leave because of war, I'm confronted with row upon row upon row of books on holocaust, and this, that and the other Jew's expressions of their suffering, but very little about Italy, in an essential way.

    I know that thousands of Italians died in WWII -- most of them by Allies; and that tens of thousands of Italian children were orphaned by the war. But when I search online for information about "Italian war orphans," the top hits are about "the largest orphanage in Italy" in the war, that housed Jewish children, in a building that had been designed & built for Italians. Jews want the building preserved as a museum to "Jewish suffering."

    Jews have sucked all of the oxygen out of the affairs of not just Italy but of so many other countries and peoples.

    Can you understand this on a human level -- We want to pass on to our children and grandchildren what their grandparents' lives were like.

    I was trying to learn about the military campaign in which my Father was injured, and somehow came across articles in Der Spiegel about how German children are urged to demand that their grandparents 'fess up, before they die, "What did you do in the war, Grandpa? Did you apologize for killing Jews?"

    That's low.

    That's snaketurd low, JoeCool.

    I can't think of anything lower or more disgusting or dehumanizing than to teach a child to hate his grandpa.

    I get it that you, JoeCool, didn't do that. Somebody whose absorbed with hockey and baseball? Nah. (btw, to the extent that such activities represent What it means to be American, USA is screwed; such things are distractions -- but never mind ). So it wasn't you who started the campaign to teach German children to hate their grandparents.

    Somebody did.
    And it was probably Jews.

    As Art has pointed out numerous times, it was probably Big Jews.

    I can't get at Big Jews to deliver the punch in the face they so richly deserve for teaching children to hate their grandparents.
    Little Jews are more accessible.
    Somebody might come across you at a hockey game.
    Sometimes anger gets misdirected.

    If I'm wrong in thinking that it is really, really outrageous to teach children to hate their grandparents, go on a rant and tell me so.

    It's even broader and worse than that: Jewish-dominated 'histories' and media tell lies about what my forebears and my culture did and represented. Jews have manhandled and distorted my proud Italian heritage, and that's just a particle of what has been done to German culture, by Jews.

    MY people, MY parents, MY grandparents -- their lives had value, and heroism, and their suffering should be acknowledged. It MUST be acknowledged and it WILL be acknowledged.

    Jews have effectively and essentially demanded that only THEY are entitled to memorialization of their life experiences.

    What my parents and grandparents suffered is valueless, only Jews lives matter.

    So if someone takes a poke at you, or, heaven forfend, speaks or writes an inconvenient fact about Jewish malfeasance and thereby offends your sensitivities, consider that you may have found yourself on the totally incidental end of a misdirected but long-suppressed pain.
    And do what we in the non-Jewish world have been doing for all our lives: Suck. It. Up.

    I can’t get at Big Jews to deliver the punch in the face they so richly deserve for teaching children to hate their grandparents.
    Little Jews are more accessible.
    Somebody might come across you at a hockey game.
    Sometimes anger gets misdirected.

    So you are in fact encouraging physical harm on Jews, Big and small, and attempting to present a species of twisted justification for it, because….because…you could not find the material you were looking for in the library! Good show.

    And you end this bizarre rant by telling Jews that they should “suck it up”

    Sorry mate, “suck it up” we shan’t anymore. All attempts to physically hurt us will be dealt with, in keeping with the law. Perhaps discussed over a cup of tea?

    Oh, but did Z guarantee the privacy of participants on Facebook?
    If he's "turning over" some advertisers, allegedly identified as linked to Russians, that means he can identify and segregate FB participants, and is willing -- even eager -- to reveal their identities, if conditions suit Zuckerberg's interests.

    Forced to participate?
    By Jews.

    Forced to do what all empires have been doing since the dawn of history
    And reaping, as empire's citizens, benefits of all that work.

    Get the benefits (power, material wealth) but then blame something/somebody else for all those uncomfortable things that type of work creates.

    Aren't the groups who put pressure Amazon to stop selling Holocaust denial literature and are currently putting the squeeze on youtube to stop airing videos on holocaust denial Jewish?

    Then, of course, the Jewish nation is always working around the clock to censor their massacring of Palestinians.
    "Last week, a major censorship controversy erupted when Facebook began deleting all posts containing the iconic photograph of the Vietnamese “Napalm Girl” on the ground that it violated the company’s ban on “child nudity.” Facebook even deleted a post from the prime minister of Norway, who posted the photograph in protest of the censorship. As outrage spread, Facebook ultimately reversed itself — acknowledging “the history and global importance of this image in documenting a particular moment in time” — but this episode illustrated many of the dangers I’ve previously highlighted in having private tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google become the arbiters of what we can and cannot see.
    Having just resolved that censorship effort, Facebook seems to be vigorously courting another. The Associated Press reports today from Jerusalem that “the Israeli government and Facebook have agreed to work together to determine how to tackle incitement on the social media network.” These meetings are taking place “as the government pushes ahead with legislative steps meant to force social networks to rein in content that Israel says incites violence.” In other words, Israel is about to legislatively force Facebook to censor content deemed by Israeli officials to be improper, and Facebook appears eager to appease those threats by working directly with the Israeli government to determine what content should be censored.'

    Oh my – look who brings up the “six million lie” – our resident chief Jew terrorist.

    This Jew manages to twist everything into being about Jew victimhood.

    He says “knuckle under you stupid people – I and my tribe will personally destroy you if you complain about our coercive activities in America - screw your concerns about America’s future. Even though you Americans ended our nightmare in WWII - you have guilt – even though you have been kind to us – even though you have allowed us to get unconsciously rich – we are your victims.”

    The Jew says – “We will attack you if you mention Israeli deeds – if you talk about control of congress – if you demand a 9/11 investigator – if you say anything about Jew media control – and if you question Jew wealth and banks.”

    The Jew says – “we are terrorists – we own you - you must fear us - and you must always give us a pass because of the holocaust.”

    The first three were for the benefit of the United States and the American people. The last three we should not have been involved with . Your numbers 5 & 6 are really one conflict. We did not have the Philippines until we took them from the Spanish during the war over Cuba. I do blame that idiotic war for most of our problems in the 20th Century, at least in the Pacific. No Spanish American War then you have no empire spread across the Pacific then you have no conflict with Japan in the late 1930's and early 1940's.

    Would that both idiot Roosevelt cousins had been strangled in the crib. Instead of fighting Spain, the Navy should have been sinking ships bringing immigrants to our shores.

    What is your source or sources or argument for saying Israel knew in advance about 9/11?
     
    Google (or Bing or DuckDuckGo) the "dancing Israelis"

    a group of five Mossad agents were arrested after they were seen dancing and 'high fiving' and celebrating the first plane hitting the WTC. They were held by the FBI for several months until Israeli citizen and future head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff allowed them to quietly return to Israel, where they eventually went on Israeli television and explained that they were there to "document the event".

    If they were there to document the event, then the Mossad knew that 9/11 was about to happen. And if the Mossad knew, then the Israeli government also knew.

    the owner of the WTC, one 'Lucky Larry Silverstein', was (and presumably still is) a close friend of Netanyahu, and they were known to speak on the phone regularly.

    Why don’t the Little Jews fear it when normal people hate them – why don’t they get after their Big Jews, who cause the trouble? These Jews are a very weak people – they cannot even help themselves. They are lemmings. (We philosophical Christians hate the sin – not the sinner.)

    The idea that all these normal people want to kill Jews is a canard. It is not true – they want their country and culture back – no more. There are always those with blood in their eye – but they are a small minority.

    Face it, when Mr. Sam says these things, he is reflexively doing his Stockholm Syndrome duties.

    yea, I was just being told that Americans who're unhappy about zio-con treachery and war mongering = fat people complaining about McDonalds

    snide is also a trait, isn't it?

    when Jews complain about the Holocaust, how many revisionists say they're like fat people complaining about McDonalds?

    I'm reminded of the way they laughed at Rachel Corrie, and called her 'bulldozer girl' and said how stupid she was for trusting an IDF soldier with her young life.

    I guess if her parents complain about how callously she was murdered, it would be like a fat person complaining about McDonalds, huh?

    here's a picture of Rachel before and after she was murdered by an Israeli

    http://rtsf.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/rachel_corrie_is_alive.jpg?w=591&h=349&h=349

    somehow I imagine Bill Kristol thinking of her in the picture at the head of this article

    So, in

    the USS Liberty incident,

    and

    the American people losing loved ones fighting a war based on lies

    there is no ANY blame to appoint to US leadership at the moment in general, and on an average US citizen in particular?
    Any?
    Or…you really believe it’s just simply:

    how many wars.. how many serial destabilization.. how much torture and genocide and human misery must we Americans be forced to participate in

    Forced to participate?

    Man…so ludicrous it’s funny.

    And reaping, as empire’s citizens, benefits of all that work.

    All our military adventures since Vietnam have been because of our Jew foreign policy. Even the first Iraq war was because we had built up Iraq in its war with Iran.

    First, I haven't seen any Jew "complain" about the Holocaust. Overwhelmingly, what goes on UR can be simply described as insane Jew haters bringing up the Holocaust and ranting over it. Some of your fellow travelers [might've been you I don't remember] have gone to the extent of suggesting another Holocaust is in the offing and richly deserved. Why, look around this comment section. Do I see any of you moral giants condemning any of it? I didn't think so. With the exception of Jacques. Credit where it is due. Go do a search of the word "Holocaust" in the archives and it'll be amply evident who brings it up and for what effect. You are given to mendacity, theatrics, and melodrama a fishwife of the Late Antiquity would be proud of.

    Aren’t the groups who put pressure Amazon to stop selling Holocaust denial literature and are currently putting the squeeze on youtube to stop airing videos on holocaust denial Jewish?

    Then, of course, the Jewish nation is always working around the clock to censor their massacring of Palestinians.
    “Last week, a major censorship controversy erupted when Facebook began deleting all posts containing the iconic photograph of the Vietnamese “Napalm Girl” on the ground that it violated the company’s ban on “child nudity.” Facebook even deleted a post from the prime minister of Norway, who posted the photograph in protest of the censorship. As outrage spread, Facebook ultimately reversed itself — acknowledging “the history and global importance of this image in documenting a particular moment in time” — but this episode illustrated many of the dangers I’ve previously highlighted in having private tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google become the arbiters of what we can and cannot see.
    Having just resolved that censorship effort, Facebook seems to be vigorously courting another. The Associated Press reports today from Jerusalem that “the Israeli government and Facebook have agreed to work together to determine how to tackle incitement on the social media network.” These meetings are taking place “as the government pushes ahead with legislative steps meant to force social networks to rein in content that Israel says incites violence.” In other words, Israel is about to legislatively force Facebook to censor content deemed by Israeli officials to be improper, and Facebook appears eager to appease those threats by working directly with the Israeli government to determine what content should be censored.’

    If they are, what of it? Do you expect them to promote Holocaust denial? If they are asking Amazon to deny a platform, they are not laying down a modern-day Edict of Compiègne, where Protestants ran the risk of being rendered a head shorter, are they? Nor like the Librorum Prohibitorum, which the Roman Catholic Church still endorses and enforces through the "moral force of positive ecclesiastical law"; all for following Protestantism and not the canon of Catholic belief. To say nothing of the glorious Islamic grand Ayatollahs, pronouncing an edict for the murder of Salman Rushdie for writing a Novel!!!! Where are you on that????

    Then, of course, the Jewish nation is always working around the clock to censor their massacring of Palestinians.
     

    The Israel Palestine conflict has resulted in a 1-6 ratio of deaths between the two sides. 22k Palestinians have died over the 50 years or more of the conflict. Is that a "massacre"? Go around the world, restrict yourself to the same period and find out for yourself how many other ethnicities have had deaths amounting to far larger numbers. Is your interest really about the Pals, for whom you would spare a tuppence? I'll wager I know more Palestinians and Arabs personally than all the lachrymose crocodiles on this page.

    I guess Jews have appointed themselves the master of our discourse. Is it anti-Semitic to point this out??
     
    Facebook is not a government service, subject to the First Amendment, although I do think at this point they ought to be regulated much like a natural monopoly.

    To answer your question, no, I don't think it is anti-Semitic to point it out. It is merely incorrect. That you wrote here all you wanted to write, been the beneficiary of Valery Plame's retweet, hardly reinforces the notion that Jews are the "Masters of discourse".

    , @Wizard of Oz
    And Jews who care about or at least think about being Jewish, especially if they care at all about Israel are not behaving irrationally in trying to limit some kinds of expression. Consider how American use of drone attacks compares with outrageous Jewish/Israeli Holocaust denial as a matter of morality - and be willing to think it could be problematic. That is unless you take the bland free speech line that every distorter of history and group libeller ought to be answered in open debate instead of censored. (It arises in that form in Australia whenever some notorious speaker/writer like David Irving is denied a visa). How much time and money should be devoted to combatting repeated lies?

    Suppose Israel's enemies decided, as they well might, that an effective medium to long term strategy might be to multiply anti-Semitic myths and lies for every age group in every country not just for the direct effects but to damage Jews reputations as civil libertarians and to cost them enormous amounts of effort and money to counter the attacks? Might not Jews sensibly recall what Catholic Europe did to Jews and their reputations for hundreds of years?

    Its sad enough to massacre a people the way the israelis did it a couple of years ago and actually every couple of years but then for AMERICAN Jews to intimidate human beings from raising their voice about it is absolutely sick and evil

    http://americanfreepress.net/jews-who-control-hollywood-tell-stars-better-not-mention-palestine/

    Jews Who Control Hollywood Tell Stars: Better Not Mention Palestine
    Right now the No. 1 rule in Hollywood is that you can talk about anything political—except Israel’s attack on the Christians and Muslims in Gaza, Palestine. That’s not a conspiracy theory from critics of Israel or Jew-hating neo-Nazis. Instead, that was the thesis of a candid article in the August 1 edition of The Hollywood Reporter (THR), influential trade journal of the entertainment industry.
    In fact, the article was bluntly titled: “Rule 1: Talk About Anything Political in Hollywood . . . Except Gaza.”
    That such an article would appear in a magazine considered “must” reading for those in show business was a not-so-subtle warning that anyone who violates that rule is in for a tough road ahead.
    Noting several celebrities had expressed sympathies for the plight of Gaza, THR commented ominously that—“for now at least” —powerful Jewish moguls in Hollywood were simply dismissing those entertainers as being “uninformed.” However, continue speaking out this way and there will be trouble.

    [MORE]

    Adding breezily that it is commonplace for Hollywood executives “to be on a first name basis with prominent Israeli politicians and business leaders,” THR cooed that this intimacy with Israel explains why so many Hollywood figures who otherwise have much to say about a lot of political issues are silent about Gaza—with only a few exceptions.
    Those exceptions—which caused a stir in Jewish circles and a big buzz in Hollywood—included such well-known names as husband-and-wife acting team Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz (both Academy Award winners) and two-time Oscar-winning director Pedro Almodavor, who joined dozens of fellow Spanish actors, directors, musicians and writers in an open letter condemning the assault on Gaza, describing Israel’s policies as “genocide.”
    Meanwhile, American actor Jon Voight jumped into action, charging Bardem, Ms. Cruz and their colleagues with “inciting anti-Semitism,” which, of course, brought denials from the accused. Ms. Cruz rushed to explain she was “not an expert” and shouldn’t be misunderstood.
    Voight has spent his own entire career vocally proving his love for Israel, well aware it is common knowledge among Hollywood power brokers that his late uncle—the legendary political writer Joseph P. Kamp—was an outspoken critic of Jewish intrigues, particularly targeting the notorious Anti-Defamation League, a big player in Hollywood affairs. Kamp—by the way—was a contributing editor to The Spotlight, AMERICAN FREE PRESS’s forerunner. Voight’s equally politically-outspoken daughter, actress Angelina Jolie, has made it so big she is now a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
    THR reported that powerful Hollywood kingpin Haim Saban—an Israeli citizen—drafted a statement responding to Israel’s critics that was “so strong” that—after being sent to his publicist for review—was never issued. In short: Saban is really mad, and Israel’s critics better watch out. After all, billionaire Saban, who has said his number one concern is protecting Israel, puts his money where his mouth is, bankrolling endeavors—such as the Saban Center at the Brookings Institution in Washington—that promote the Zionist agenda.
    In two other Gaza-related “scandals,” actress Selena Gomez dared to post an image on “Instagram” that read: “It’s about humanity. Pray for Gaza,” and popular hip-hopper Rihanna posted “Free Palestine” to the Internet. After coming under fire, Ms. Gomez assured fans she wasn’t taking sides and Rihanna deleted her own post eight minutes after posting it.
    Comic Jackie Mason—a trained rabbi—told conservative radio host Aaron Klein that entertainment industry critics of Israel come from “anti-Semitic, low-class backgrounds where a Jew is the most disgusting thing in the world to them.”
    THR quoted Ken Solomon, chairman and chief executive officer of The Tennis Channel, Inc., and top Democratic fundraiser—whose grandparents lived in Israel. Solomon, who audaciously said in response to Rihanna and the others: “I think there’s a place for celebrities to get involved, whether it’s the environment or social issues. But getting involved in foreign policy debates? It doesn’t make a lot of sense. . . . With all due respect to Rihanna, unless she’s been studying this, she shouldn’t be talking about it.” In other words, in foreign policy, unless you’re pro-Israel, just shut up.
    Jewish comic Joan Rivers, born Joan Molinsky, would have no problem with that argument. Believing Israel is imperiled, she once said: “I worry they’re going to wipe it off the Earth. I only hope they [Israel] will take us all with them, because Jews shouldn’t go quietly this time. If they’re going to kill us, we’re going to kill you right back.”
    Those violent comments, it seems, are acceptable, since, after all, Ms. Rivers is Jewish and pro-Israel.

    in 1913

    when Woodrow Wilson handed a cabal of Jewish banksters the keys to our Treasury

    since then it’s been wars and more wars and world wars and wars for Israel and more wars for Israel…

    and the corruption and subversion of our currency with the Fed printing money to hand out to their Jewish bankster buddies until our dollar is worth a penny of its original value.

    Could you help me clarify a couple of things, please?

    From 1812 to 1913 US expanded using force of arms.
    At the time Anglo-Saxons were the ruling group.
    And that expansion by force of arms was O.K, apparently.

    From 1913 to today US has also been expanding by force of arms.
    As you say, Jews have been the ruling group.
    And that expansion by force of arms was not O.K.

    So, what exactly is not O.K. from 1913 to today?
    Expansion by force of arms or Jews being in charge of that expansion?

    And, based on previous question, should, by some miracle, Jews aren't in charge anymore but, say, Anglo-Saxons again, then expansion by force of arms will be O.K. again?

    Or, expansion by force of arms is O.K. as long as MY group is in charge?
    Sounds about right?

    Oh, but did Z guarantee the privacy of participants on Facebook?
    If he’s “turning over” some advertisers, allegedly identified as linked to Russians, that means he can identify and segregate FB participants, and is willing — even eager — to reveal their identities, if conditions suit Zuckerberg’s interests.

    I will shoot you in front of your mother ‘– Israeli forces follow through on threat to Palestinian youth
    Almost one month after Israeli forces shot him seven times during a night raid in Deheisha refugee camp, 22-year-old Raed al-Salhi succumbed to his wounds on Sunday in Jerusalem’s Hadassah hospital. His mother Zaynab heard the news as she sat at home in Deheisha, in the West Bank. She didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye.
    Israeli forces had warned Raed al-Salhi in late July that they were coming for him.
    “They called him and told him ‘we will shoot you in front of your mother’,” Khaled, 24, one of Raed’s four older brothers told Mondoweiss days before Raed died in the raid to arrest him, in the small living room of their home in the camp, located in the southern occupied West Bank.

    This is what is happening in the home nation of the supposed champions of our American freedoms and civil rights in America..how splendid. Glad to see they care so much about us but can give a shit about these values when it comes to Israel. You know Israel, the country where American Jews send their children to enlist and fight.
    They have enough time to run around pussy parading when Trump is elected but a very, very small fraction will even acknowledge what is being done to the Palestinians, I mean hat’s off to the lone voices that do say something but the vast majority support Israel, right or wrong.

    when Jews complain about the Holocaust, how many revisionists say they’re like fat people complaining about McDonalds?
     
    First, I haven't seen any Jew "complain" about the Holocaust. Overwhelmingly, what goes on UR can be simply described as insane Jew haters bringing up the Holocaust and ranting over it. Some of your fellow travelers [might've been you I don't remember] have gone to the extent of suggesting another Holocaust is in the offing and richly deserved. Why, look around this comment section. Do I see any of you moral giants condemning any of it? I didn't think so. With the exception of Jacques. Credit where it is due. Go do a search of the word "Holocaust" in the archives and it'll be amply evident who brings it up and for what effect. You are given to mendacity, theatrics, and melodrama a fishwife of the Late Antiquity would be proud of.

    First, I haven’t seen any Jew “complain” about the Holocaust. Overwhelmingly, what goes on UR can be simply described as insane Jew haters bringing up the Holocaust and ranting over it

    Oh my – look who brings up the “six million lie” – our resident chief Jew terrorist.

    This Jew manages to twist everything into being about Jew victimhood.

    He says “knuckle under you stupid people – I and my tribe will personally destroy you if you complain about our coercive activities in America – screw your concerns about America’s future. Even though you Americans ended our nightmare in WWII – you have guilt – even though you have been kind to us – even though you have allowed us to get unconsciously rich – we are your victims.”

    The Jew says – “We will attack you if you mention Israeli deeds – if you talk about control of congress – if you demand a 9/11 investigator – if you say anything about Jew media control – and if you question Jew wealth and banks.”

    The Jew says – “we are terrorists – we own you – you must fear us – and you must always give us a pass because of the holocaust.”

    Think Peace (even for the Jews) — Art

    p.s. The Jew bitches about threats – in 700 comments, remarkably there is only one or two.

    p.s. The Jew has the balls to demand a perfect world when he brings nothing but chaos to humanity.

    I am sure you know the answer to your own question. Obviously, it takes much more than a regional power to threaten the U.S. mainland; Iran certainly does not fit the bill.

    I'll be clear. There exists today, no reason to expect a war with Iran, neocon saber-rattling notwithstanding, theatrics from the Iran fan club notwithstanding either.

    That doesn't wish away, however, a few simple facts: the U.S. is, like it or not, the major global power with global interests to safeguard and advance; a power called upon to finance and guarantee the free ingress and egress of goods and services over every channel on the Earth's surface and above. That these functions encounter resistance as the world re-balances is fully priced in; remarkable, or rather unremarkable, is the failure on the part of many to recognise the view from a long historical perspective, that the conduct of the U.S. as anything but good, misconducts exiguous, and moreover, the all too predictable repercussions, certain to arise, were the U.S. to not safeguard her interests and withdraw from bases of which the 36 are integral.

    To reiterate, the U.S. does not seek war with Iran. But what could possibly be the set of reasons to ignore explicit threats against her military bases? If we have military bases surrounding Iran it is only so at the invitation of those nations hosting them, nations which positively care to align with U.S. policies.

    Before replying I glanced at the other replies and, at least at first glance, I think the questioning of “priced in” is a major and valid point.

    Otherwise… I would say you are a real time realist compared to me. Maybe I should leave my criticisms of America for its past and systematic failures in the waste basket of naive dreams. However….

    I am hardly a naive idealist. I am a calculator and imaginative about what can go wrong, and I think I have a pretty realistic view of the range of human follies and prejudices. Consistently – I would say because I have long seen America’s actual and growing weaknesses – I have seen America’s true course as engaging China, especially, and Russia, with India perhaps to follow, in the management of the world. Instead of American hubris leading to impoverishment of the masses by militarism there could have been a flattering acknowledgment of what the great Chinese civilisation and the stalwart Russian people had to contribute to a highly innovative post Cold War world.

    I have long said that neither the Chinese nor the Indians are going to let a bunch of oil rich Arabs or other Muslims hold them to ransom so, especially since the fracking revolution, why does the US spend its treasure on hubristic neo-con (including Rumsfeld and Cheney) fantasies except that the mind of the born again ex-governor of Texas was a vacant space waiting to be occupied by the few Americans who had mental passports and otganised ideas about the rest of the world.

    Another version of my kind of realism you can treat as a test case….. While Australia should not drop the defence advantages it gets from close alliance with the US it should continue to treat itself as a country under no major threat in the forseeable future. Consider the populous and or rich and or powerful countries in our neighbouhood.

    Would any one of Indonesia, China, Japan, South Korea or India take lightly interference with the well run quarry (and education provider to 500,000 of their children) that Australia is and will be for dwcades to come? Why couldn’t the US have invited China and India to take over the burden and opportunities in Afghanistan? At least since frackung took off why shouldn’t the Muslim ME and Central Asia be left to China, India and Russia to keep in order?

    What is your source or sources or argument for saying Israel knew in advance about 9/11?

    What is your source or sources or argument for saying Israel knew in advance about 9/11?

    This is the best source of information that corroborates this claim:

    This news report in the Philadelphia Times Herald might shock the average reader, but its subject is surely familiar to longtime readers of Antiwar.com:

    “A memorandum sent to the 9/11 Commission, and Senate and House intelligence committees in September 2004, suggests that young Israelis who canvassed dozens of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) offices in 2000 and 2001 trying to sell paintings to federal workers, may have been spying not only on the DEA, but also on Arab extremists in the United States – including the Sept. 11 hijackers who were living in Florida and New Jersey.”

    The author of this memorandum [.pdf] is Gerald Shea, a retired corporate lawyer. Shea – an alumnus of Phillips Academy, Yale (1964), and Columbia Law School – was associated for many years with one of New York’s most prominent law firms, in New York and Paris, and his memo reads like a lawyer’s brief: it is written with the same meticulous attention to details of time and place, and with a lawyerly regard for maintaining a high standard of evidence.

    Shea comes to substantially the same conclusion that I did in a series of columns I started writing in late December 2001, the substance of which is contained in a short book, The Terror Enigma: 9/11 and the Israeli Connection: that the Israelis were engaged in spying on U.S. soil in the months leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, that these agents were concentrated in the two areas where the 9/11 hijackers lived and planned their atrocities – Hollywood, Fla., and two counties in New Jersey, Bergen and Hudson – and that they did not share all they knew about preparations for the attack with U.S. authorities.

    [MORE]

    Shea writes:

    “Why the Israeli government decided not to share with us all the critical information they had, and the extent of that information, is a subject for the public inquiry. They may have thought some sort of warning prudent in the event their surveillance activities later became a matter of public knowledge. But any energetic Israeli effort to assist the United States in preventing the attacks would not have served their strategic interest, in view of the disastrous effect those attacks were likely to have on the relationships between the United States and the Arab world. As a leader of the Israeli New Jersey Group said when he was arrested on the afternoon of September 11, ‘We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems.’”

    Students of this subject will not be surprised by much of what is contained in the Shea memorandum, but there are significant new details unearthed by Shea’s research and his thoroughness, particularly in tracing the parallel movements of the 9/11 hijackers (and their known associates) and the Israelis. Shea shows the Israelis had the means, the motive, and the physical proximity to track the hijackers’ movements and intercept the details of their plans. Of particular interest is how some of the hijackers came to be put on the FBI’s watch list – too late to do any good, but in time to provide the Israelis with a cover story if their shadowing activities came to light – which suggests a cover-up of major proportions.

    The “Able Danger” data-mining operation that supposedly uncovered the New Jersey cell of the 9/11 plotters was – for some reason yet to be determined – blocked and prevented from apprehending key figures in the plot, according to the testimony of at least three people who have direct knowledge of this matter. Shea’s memo opens up a possibility that may relate to (and explain) the “Able Danger” blockage: was surveillance of Arab terrorist groups in the U.S. subcontracted out to the Israelis, with the knowledge and complicity of the CIA, so that “Able Danger” was considered poaching on the Israelis’ preserve? Shea cites a piece in The Forward that describes Israeli covert activities in the U.S. as a violation of “a secret gentleman’s agreement between the two countries,” and avers:

    “The real question today, however, appears to be whether the ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ did indeed prevail here and, because we lacked adequate warning from our surrogates who were keeping the Arabs under surveillance, helped bring us to disaster.”

    Discussion of this subject is, of course, considered a hate crime: I was attacked by David Frum and others for even raising the question of Israeli foreknowledge – although, tellingly, Frum never mentioned the Fox News four-part series by Carl Cameron that brought this story to widespread public attention. What could he say, after all – that Fox News is a bastion of liberal bias, and prejudiced against Israel? I don’t think so.

    Of particular interest are the various appendices. The DEA report on the “Israeli art students” has been public for some time, but readers will find Exhibit B very informative: this lists the various hijackers according to their geographical locations in one column and the Israeli agents detained and deported or otherwise identified in the other. The maps at the end of the memo show this correlation in graphic terms: the effect is shocking. Whether shocking enough to shake the 9/11 Commission and our government officials out of their torpor remains to be seen. It brings home, visually, the significance of the following bit of dialogue – cited by Shea – between Brit Hume and Cameron at the conclusion of their first broadcast on the Israeli spy operation:

    Hume: “What about this question of advanced knowledge of what was going to happen on September 11? How clear are investigators that some Israeli agents may have known something?”

    Cameron: “It’s very explosive information, obviously, and there’s a great deal of evidence that they say they have collected, none of it necessarily conclusive. It’s more when they put it all together. A bigger question, they say, is how could they not have known?”

    Indeed. Now go read the whole thing…

    Then, of course, the Jewish nation is always working around the clock to censor their massacring of Palestinians.
    "Last week, a major censorship controversy erupted when Facebook began deleting all posts containing the iconic photograph of the Vietnamese “Napalm Girl” on the ground that it violated the company’s ban on “child nudity.” Facebook even deleted a post from the prime minister of Norway, who posted the photograph in protest of the censorship.

To say nothing of the glorious Islamic grand Ayatollahs, pronouncing an edict for the murder of Salman Rushdie for writing a Novel!!!! Where are you on that????

    Then, of course, the Jewish nation is always working around the clock to censor their massacring of Palestinians.

    The Israel Palestine conflict has resulted in a 1-6 ratio of deaths between the two sides. 22k Palestinians have died over the 50 years or more of the conflict. Is that a “massacre”? Go around the world, restrict yourself to the same period and find out for yourself how many other ethnicities have had deaths amounting to far larger numbers. Is your interest really about the Pals, for whom you would spare a tuppence? I’ll wager I know more Palestinians and Arabs personally than all the lachrymose crocodiles on this page.

    I guess Jews have appointed themselves the master of our discourse. Is it anti-Semitic to point this out??

    Facebook is not a government service, subject to the First Amendment, although I do think at this point they ought to be regulated much like a natural monopoly.

    To answer your question, no, I don’t think it is anti-Semitic to point it out. It is merely incorrect. That you wrote here all you wanted to write, been the beneficiary of Valery Plame’s retweet, hardly reinforces the notion that Jews are the “Masters of discourse”.

    Claiming to be operated by “students and concerned citizens,” who were not identified, Canary Mission is essentially a blacklist of students, academics and activists involved with pro-Palestine solidarity activities on campus. “It is your duty to ensure that today’s radicals are not tomorrow’s employees,” the anonymous female narrator of a promotional video posted on Canary Mission’s website declared. In their campaign against supporters of the BDS movement, Canary Mission’s masked staffers have vilified more than 140 activists, many of whom are current or recent students enrolled in the University of California system.

    University bills attempting to be passed conflating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism???
    Fighting Israeli Occupying Forces Is “Terrorism.” Boycotting Is “Anti-Semitism.” What’s Allowed?

    In California, the regents of the nation’s largest university system just enacted a resolution strongly implying that BDS activism is anti-Semitic and thus in violation of university rules. In New York last week, dozens of state legislators, from both parties, have demanded the de-funding of a pro-Palestinian group at CUNY, a move denounced by the campus free speech group FIRE. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, when running for office, announced that BDS “has no place on Canadian campuses.” In France, people are literally arrested as criminals under “hate speech” laws for wearing T-shirts advocating BDS. Measures in the U.K. have been enacted to legally bar support for such boycott movements. Laws and proposed bills in Israel ban advocacy of the movement and bar supporters from entering Israel.


    Sure, youtube and facebook are private venues but don't act like Jews aren't salivating at the possibility of outlawing holocaust denial like it has been done in so many European countries

    And Jews who care about or at least think about being Jewish, especially if they care at all about Israel are not behaving irrationally in trying to limit some kinds of expression. Consider how American use of drone attacks compares with outrageous Jewish/Israeli Holocaust denial as a matter of morality – and be willing to think it could be problematic. That is unless you take the bland free speech line that every distorter of history and group libeller ought to be answered in open debate instead of censored. (It arises in that form in Australia whenever some notorious speaker/writer like David Irving is denied a visa). How much time and money should be devoted to combatting repeated lies?

    Suppose Israel’s enemies decided, as they well might, that an effective medium to long term strategy might be to multiply anti-Semitic myths and lies for every age group in every country not just for the direct effects but to damage Jews reputations as civil libertarians and to cost them enormous amounts of effort and money to counter the attacks? Might not Jews sensibly recall what Catholic Europe did to Jews and their reputations for hundreds of years?

    And Jews who care about or at least think about being Jewish, especially if they care at all about Israel are not behaving irrationally in trying to limit some kinds of expression. Consider how American use of drone attacks compares with outrageous Jewish/Israeli Holocaust denial as a matter of morality - and be willing to think it could be problematic. That is unless you take the bland free speech line that every distorter of history and group libeller ought to be answered in open debate instead of censored. (It arises in that form in Australia whenever some notorious speaker/writer like David Irving is denied a visa). How much time and money should be devoted to combatting repeated lies?

    Suppose Israel's enemies decided, as they well might, that an effective medium to long term strategy might be to multiply anti-Semitic myths and lies for every age group in every country not just for the direct effects but to damage Jews reputations as civil libertarians and to cost them enormous amounts of effort and money to counter the attacks? Might not Jews sensibly recall what Catholic Europe did to Jews and their reputations for hundreds of years?

    What?

    I'm referring generally to the problem we normally avoid thinking about when we have competing values which draws close to having to qualify near absolute values.

    With "thou shalt not kill" we have long absorbed exceptions we are brought up to be comfortable with so it is hardly even a reference point for discussion. But principles of free speech and only killing Americans after due process and foreigners in lawful wars in lawful ways should, when ee confront reality, make us avoid oversimplifying the issues or the answers.

    Aren’t the groups who put pressure Amazon to stop selling Holocaust denial literature and are currently putting the squeeze on youtube to stop airing videos on holocaust denial Jewish?
     
    If they are, what of it? Do you expect them to promote Holocaust denial? If they are asking Amazon to deny a platform, they are not laying down a modern-day Edict of Compiègne, where Protestants ran the risk of being rendered a head shorter, are they? Nor like the Librorum Prohibitorum, which the Roman Catholic Church still endorses and enforces through the "moral force of positive ecclesiastical law"; all for following Protestantism and not the canon of Catholic belief. To say nothing of the glorious Islamic grand Ayatollahs, pronouncing an edict for the murder of Salman Rushdie for writing a Novel!!!! Where are you on that????

    Then, of course, the Jewish nation is always working around the clock to censor their massacring of Palestinians.
     

    The Israel Palestine conflict has resulted in a 1-6 ratio of deaths between the two sides. 22k Palestinians have died over the 50 years or more of the conflict. Is that a "massacre"? Go around the world, restrict yourself to the same period and find out for yourself how many other ethnicities have had deaths amounting to far larger numbers. Is your interest really about the Pals, for whom you would spare a tuppence? I'll wager I know more Palestinians and Arabs personally than all the lachrymose crocodiles on this page.

    I guess Jews have appointed themselves the master of our discourse. Is it anti-Semitic to point this out??
     
    Facebook is not a government service, subject to the First Amendment, although I do think at this point they ought to be regulated much like a natural monopoly.

    To answer your question, no, I don't think it is anti-Semitic to point it out. It is merely incorrect. That you wrote here all you wanted to write, been the beneficiary of Valery Plame's retweet, hardly reinforces the notion that Jews are the "Masters of discourse".

    Censoring YouTube and facebook are part of a larger trend. How many bills are circulating through congress to outlaw the boycott of Israel as we speak?

    U.S. Lawmakers Seek to Criminally Outlaw Support for Boycott Campaign Against Israel
    https://theintercept.com/2017/07/19/u-s-lawmakers-seek-to-criminally-outlaw-support-for-boycott-campaign-against-israel/

    The blacklisting of students who dare criticize Israeli policy???
    Exposed: Pro-Israel Modern Day McCarthyites Going to Extremes to Slime Human Rights Activists
    http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/modern-day-mccarthyists-are-going-extremes-slime-activists-fighting-israels
    Claiming to be operated by “students and concerned citizens,” who were not identified, Canary Mission is essentially a blacklist of students, academics and activists involved with pro-Palestine solidarity activities on campus. “It is your duty to ensure that today’s radicals are not tomorrow’s employees,” the anonymous female narrator of a promotional video posted on Canary Mission’s website declared. In their campaign against supporters of the BDS movement, Canary Mission’s masked staffers have vilified more than 140 activists, many of whom are current or recent students enrolled in the University of California system.

    University bills attempting to be passed conflating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism???
    Fighting Israeli Occupying Forces Is “Terrorism.” Boycotting Is “Anti-Semitism.” What’s Allowed?

    In California, the regents of the nation’s largest university system just enacted a resolution strongly implying that BDS activism is anti-Semitic and thus in violation of university rules. In New York last week, dozens of state legislators, from both parties, have demanded the de-funding of a pro-Palestinian group at CUNY, a move denounced by the campus free speech group FIRE. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, when running for office, announced that BDS “has no place on Canadian campuses.” In France, people are literally arrested as criminals under “hate speech” laws for wearing T-shirts advocating BDS. Measures in the U.K. have been enacted to legally bar support for such boycott movements. Laws and proposed bills in Israel ban advocacy of the movement and bar supporters from entering Israel.

    Sure, youtube and facebook are private venues but don’t act like Jews aren’t salivating at the possibility of outlawing holocaust denial like it has been done in so many European countries

    Paul (combs his hair with his own spit) Wolfowitz, former Deputy Secretary of Defense?

    etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.,

    While you’re at it, could you also tell us how many wars the US launched against Cuba’s neighbours in an effort to enhance the security of the Cuban people and how the price tag for those wars compares to the $6 T shelled out by the American taxpayer for the wars to remake the ME?

    Could you tell us the amount the US taxpayer has paid in annual tribute to Cuba at the behest of the Cuban lobby and how it compares to the $3.8 B they pay to Israel at the behest of the Zionist lobby?

    To an outsider who observes what Americans call a democracy with amazed disbelief the differences between the Cuban and Israeli lobbies are less numerous than their similarities. True, in recent times the ME policies are far more consequetial ànd far more costly than anything to do with Cuba but both lobbies are distortions of the process of democratic government which probably harm the average American. Both deal in corruption of the democratic process.

    Why do you assume that you are a typical Jew? And why do you think Jewish Power is aligned with how Jews like you think?

    Also, if Jews don’t see gentiles as others, they should give up their Jewish identity which is inherently us-versus-them as it’s premised on the notion of Jews having a special Covenant with God.

    Now, I don’t mind Jews seeing gentiles as Others. I don’t mind any people seeing other people as Others. They should.

    Of course plenty of people who work for or complain to ADL would be aware of UR.

    After I posted that I immediately remembered that I could just go to the site and search for Unz which I did. There is only one hit and that is from 2014. That article is quoted and referenced in some of the current comments and media pieces. Of particular note to me was that the piece from 2014 took great care to side-step the answer to the question of whether R. Unz is anti-Semitic. One question that I have is what exactly is the upper limit for publishing anti-Semitic material before the publisher can be considered anti-Semitic?

    I hope the upper limit is calculated so as to discount the tedious repetitions of some of the regulars, e.g. Art and Wally.

    But I know for a fact that he does not like ethnic groups such as Armenian Americans, and so he let the issue alone. So even Phil is silent about Jews sometimes. He let Jewish hypocrites off the hook.

    What?

    I’m referring generally to the problem we normally avoid thinking about when we have competing values which draws close to having to qualify near absolute values.

    With “thou shalt not kill” we have long absorbed exceptions we are brought up to be comfortable with so it is hardly even a reference point for discussion. But principles of free speech and only killing Americans after due process and foreigners in lawful wars in lawful ways should, when ee confront reality, make us avoid oversimplifying the issues or the answers.

    That is unless you take the bland free speech line that every distorter of history and group libeller ought to be answered in open debate instead of censored. (It arises in that form in Australia whenever some notorious speaker/writer like David Irving is denied a visa). How much time and money should be devoted to combatting repeated lies?
     
    Who gets to decide if it is a lie? How can we get at “the truth” if some speech is prohibited? How many times does a lie get to be repeated before the investigation is closed?

    Consider the hackneyed, “We need to have a conversation about race.” Only the naïve believe that the speaker is desirous of and willing to have a real conversation about race.

    Consider the JQ. It has been decided that the disproportionate representation of Jews in media, finance, academia, government, etc. is off limits to discussion. I can see the logic in limiting the discussion based upon historical events, but that presupposes that disproportionate representation is not a problem. Who got to make the decision that it was not a problem? Were all the facts in play during the decision making process?

    Tell us, where did all that “Jew thing” start in US?
     
    in 1913

    when Woodrow Wilson handed a cabal of Jewish banksters the keys to our Treasury

    since then it's been wars and more wars and world wars and wars for Israel and more wars for Israel...

    and the corruption and subversion of our currency with the Fed printing money to hand out to their Jewish bankster buddies until our dollar is worth a penny of its original value.

    and our politicians serving the money men at the direct expense of the American people

    duh

    I see.
    Or at least I am trying to see.

    Could you help me clarify a couple of things, please?

    From 1812 to 1913 US expanded using force of arms.
    At the time Anglo-Saxons were the ruling group.
    And that expansion by force of arms was O.K, apparently.

    From 1913 to today US has also been expanding by force of arms.
    As you say, Jews have been the ruling group.
    And that expansion by force of arms was not O.K.

    So, what exactly is not O.K. from 1913 to today?
    Expansion by force of arms or Jews being in charge of that expansion?

    And, based on previous question, should, by some miracle, Jews aren’t in charge anymore but, say, Anglo-Saxons again, then expansion by force of arms will be O.K. again?

    Or, expansion by force of arms is O.K. as long as MY group is in charge?
    Sounds about right?

    Absolutely – if America decided to do something for itself – that not is only OK - it is imperative.

    Jews First and Israel are a fifth column, a different country – we must do what is good for us – NOT them.

    No question, America has done some good things and some bad things in history – but always we acted in our own interest. We are not doing that now – the Jews political cabal will not let us.

    the working class of this country has been brutalized, while the one percent, especially on Wall Street, have been awash in Federal Reserve lucre

    and you've got the pus-nads to suggest the American people have benefited by your zio-wars?

    only a pus-filled POS like you would claim that as a benefit we should all be grateful for

    kudos, you're winning the POS of the week award!

    "For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.”

    How does that happen? The question defies the entire article. The "Media". The media Phil just described, is Jewish owned and operated. Who the Hell is going to get the Jewish Jeff Bezos (to cite only one example, but a huge one in Washington), who supports losing enterprise Washington Post, the AEI, the AJC and all the rest with BIG money, how are you going to get HIM to splash across the front page that Bill Kristol is, “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” ? How does that work? What are the mechanics of such a proposition? Loss of subscribers? Check, already done. Boycott the WashPost's advertisers? They already lost those because the paper isn't viable in the business model of a newspaper, it's only a very loud megaphone for the Jewish interest. The damned thing runs a 60 million dollar deficit every month, supported tirelessly by Amazon. But nowadays it has become a Pro-Israeli rap-sheet, a monster-shouter for these wars, all of them. How are we to oppose THAT?

    Phil also forgets (or maybe Jewish influence and owndership is so great and such a hegemony he can't cover it all) the death-grip stranglehold Jews hold on our courts, the banks, Wall Street. Protest any of it, you're an "Anti", a racist, a bigot, a Nazi. The most racist, Nazi race/religion/monolith on the planet, Jews, label all who oppose it, racist. And that's the mantra and they have the media to back it up. Oppose their instruments, the Clintons, all of a sudden, shazzzaaam! You're dead of a robbery on the streets at 4:00 AM. There are dozens of dead on the tab of this cabal. This is Israel's crew and nobody fucks with these guys.

    Ye Gawds, growing up in the 60's, the WashPost was hideously anti-war. Look at them now. And their new banner, "Democracy Dies In The Darkness", boy is that an evil and disingenuous point to push, breathtaking in its dishonesty, the sheer hubris with which they operate. It went up after Obama was out and Trump in. All of a sudden, Jewish media is interested in our "Democracy", which was never supposed to be one in the first place.

    Excuse me, I need to go throw up now..

    Mr. Christian–You write very clearly and with great accuracy. And given your facts and thematic content, in looking at these same Tribal Zio-Dynamics played out now for 75 years, one is forced to ask: “How was Hitler wrong about Anything?” Maybe he read the “Talmud” !! Certainly, the long-wished-for extermination of the White Race is now underway in Europe.

    “How was Hitler wrong about Anything?”
     
    I love that, right back to Hitler. I point to the avarice and desire of present day American Jews to undermine the society through their media and YOU trot out Hitler. Said American Jews advocate behaviors in our young through academia and media that they would never desire for their own. Modern-Day Israel has walls and gun towers keeping out the Arabs (not that I blame them), yet Jewish media in this country advocates free-borders. Their hypocrisy is breathtaking. Yet, you drag out Hitler. As for the United States, they could write a book about the Family Krupp-Stein (Lockeed, Boeing, all the rest) and the wars they drive. Do a who's who of the biggest stockholders and boards and corporate members. Please.

    My clan is substantially smaller for WW2, my Pop and all his brothers had 6 or more kids and so the 6 or 8 that he knew of that got killed in Europe didn't get to beget more Christian kiddies for themselves. And they got croaked in some measure, on behalf of Jews. So spare me Hitler in all this. As for me, I danced on the flight decks of a couple of carriers in an A6 squadron, mostly in the eastern Mediterranean in direct support of Israel and Carter's gunboat diplomacy and while I was at it wandered all over that God-Forsaken rock-turned-oasis. With all this, MY conscience is QUITE clean. We're not talking Hitler, we're pointing out excesses and undermining of the society that came to save "what was left of the Jews" from Hitler 75 years back. If Hitler was doing all that killing, it sure was a good thing we came to help! Ignored by Jews of today, but there WAS sacrifice on their behalf. Instead, WE get credit for Hitler.

    Pointing out Jewish-owned media's push for degraded behavior and social norms while they demand the opposite for their own isn't Hitler, it's a demand for accountability, but that flew long ago. Protest, it's "Hitler!". Hilarious meme, that.

    Why don’t you address this statement with something other than weasel talk?

    There you go, again, with the W word.

    I thought I clearly and directly addressed this statement by pointing out that while organized Jewry is ultimately responsible for pushing policies that are detrimental to the interests of the American people, the Jewish community must, as Philip Weiss has repeatedly pointed out, also step up to the plate and withdraw their support for these policies.

    But to be fair, it isn’t just the Jewish community that must withdraw their support for these policies, their xtian Zionist sidekicks must do so, as well.

    So the question I put to Jessica, can be put to you, as well:

    Occupation of the American Mind:

    In the first part, Sut Jahlly, at about 7 min, Jhally introduces Frank Luntz and the manual he prepared in 2009, The Global Language Dictionary. Jhally reviews key points and processes taught through the GLD https://www.transcend.org/tms/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/sf-israel-projects-2009-global-language-dictionary.pdf

    @ 16 min, narrates how the devastating images of Israel’s killing activities in Lebanon in 1982 — its war against Lebanon, then the massacre at Sabra and Shatilla, which were broadcast round the world, were the near-equivalent of the concentration camp images that US psychological warfare practitioners used to such long-lasting effect against Germany.
    Jhally says:

    “In the aftermath of Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and the devastating slaughter at Sabra and Shattila, . . . Israelis realized they were losing the perserception that Israel was weak plucky David. . . .

    “In 1984 a conference was convened in Jerusalem to devise a public relations strategy known as Hasbara. [screen image = cover of 1984 “The American Jewish Congress Monthly,” ] Participants included PR and advertising executives, media specialists, journalists, and leaders of major Jewish groups. According to a brochure from the Congress, no single event brought home the need for hasbara or information program more persuasively than the 1982 war in Lebanon and the events that followed. As one conference participant put it, Israel is no longer perceived to be Little David, but Goliath steamrolling across the map.

    The primary aim of the conference was to develop strategies to spin unpopular Israeli policies, and to counter negative press coverage by shaping the media frame in advance.

    “News doesn’t just jump into a camera,” a conference delegate said; “It’s directed, it’s managed, it’s made accessible.” Israel-based advertising executive Martin Fenton would put it in even more blunt terms: “Propaganda is not a dirty word,” he said. “Face it, we are in the game of changing people’s minds, making them think differently. To accomplish that, we need propaganda.”

    The conference was chaired by U S advertising executive Carl Spielvogel, the legendary advertising man who created the highly acclaimed Miller Light beer ads in the 1970s.

    . . .

    The choice of Spielvogel makes perfect sense: he’s known as a master of image inversion and re-branding; responsible for transforming Miller Life to a manly beer that tough guys would drink.

    His job with Israel would require the same kind of rebranding, only in the opposite direction: to help soften the image of a country that’s coming to be seen as a bully. Spielvogel recommends creating a Cabinet post dedicated exclusively to explaining policy, whose job would not be setting policy but presenting it in the most attractive way to the rest of the world.

    (Norman Soloman):“Classic PR is to say, the problem is not the policy, it’s the presentation. When the policies are so reprehensible that many people become critical, rather than acknowledging that there’s anything wrong with the policy there is a doubling down on the PR effort.

    After Lebanon you start to see the basic hasbara in action.”

    Gates prefers not to use "zionist" to name the Criminal State, and argues that many Jews (Little Jews) are just as much the dupes and victims of the Criminal gang (Big Jews) as are the actual targets and assets of the crime gang.

    Gates discusses how this Criminal Gang dominates the "middle space" -- the media: that space from which the population acquires the information it uses to make decisions.

    Gates defines the "middle space."

    Jhally reports on how Frank Luntz, Speilvogel, and numerous other Jewish media and PR experts conferred and came to a consensus (i.e. conspired) to shape the middle space to achieve Jewish ends by maneuvering American means.

    this one has lit up some radars in Tel Aviv and elsewhere

    Yes, it has lit up some bumper bars outside of this little rabbit hole.

    Think about this, Talha:

    In the outside it is playing out as anti-Semitism, and will be disregarded and flushed. Suppose that he had chosen his language differently and made his point without all of the Jew mongering; the article could still have legs out there. The outside discussion could be going on about extremist hawks and warmongers leading us into more failed wars. Instead, it is all about dem Jews. If you are sincere about ending our excessive interventions and wars, why would you make the discussion about Jews rather than the wars and the people who initiate and goad them along? You have switched the focus from excessive war and intervention on the part of the US to dem Jews, and that insures that the important issue, too many wars, will not be discussed.

Suppose that he had chosen his language differently and made his point without all of the Jew mongering; the article could still have legs out there.

    When you say ‘outside’ and ‘out there’, are you talking about the Jewish-controlled corporate media and social networks that fire journalists, terminate accounts, and censor comments that might offend the tribe?

    So what you are really saying is, if it didn’t keep calling out the Jews, the Jews would like it more. Well that’s certainly logical!

    Unfortunately, many of us are well past a point where we care what they like. We know full well that they are a problem and we assign great respect to authors such as Mr. Giraldi who are able to clearly, eloquently and fairly point out the elephant in the room and all the damage it’s causing to the furniture.

    It is important to distinguish between American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership. The American Jewish community as a whole is moderate and reasonable.
     
    Sounds like a very reasonable proposition... on the surface at least. But if we dig a little deeper, we'll find issues with this assertion.

    Let's take a purely logical approach to this proposition. Is it not true that a war against Iraq was an important Israeli strategic objective (see the Oded Yinon Plan and PNAC's A Clean Break)? Was not PNAC's remaking of MENA pushed by the neocons to enhance the security of the villa in the jungle. Isn't it the case that the overwhelming majority of American Jewry have a passionate attachment to the villa? Doesn't it follow that they would be supportive of policies that promoted the security interests of said villa?

    What are we to make of this statement by Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations:

    "In the American Jewish community, there's a great deal of support for the president's stand [on invading Iraq]."

    http://www.salon.com/2002/09/14/jews_iraq/

    Isn't it true that while American Jewry is usually at the forefront of progressive issues, they are mostly silent on the issue of I/P. Isn't that the origin for the expression PEP, Progressive except Palestine? Isn't this the reality that Philip Weiss often writes about? Isn't that why he'd like to have a more open debate within the American Jewish community about whether support for the special relationship is in the long term interests of America and Israel?

    So, to prove the validity of your proposition, isn't it incumbent upon the majority of the members of the American Jewish community to publicly acknowledge that the interests of the US and Israel are not identical (as The Lobby contends) and that The Lobby is doing tremendous damage to the interests of the American people?

    Isn't it time for the majority of the Jewish community to publicly renounce its support for the special relationship? Won't this definitively demonstrate, once and for all, they are prepared to put the interests of the US ahead of those of any foreign country, including Israel?

    Final question: are you, yourself, prepared to renounce support for the special relationship?

    Isn’t it true that while American Jewry is usually at the forefront of progressive issues, they are mostly silent on the issue of I/P. Isn’t that the origin for the expression PEP, Progressive except Palestine? Isn’t this the reality that Philip Weiss often writes about? Isn’t that why he’d like to have a more open debate within the American Jewish community about whether support for the special relationship is in the long term interests of America and Israel?

    Wouldn’t you know it, right on cue, here is an excerpt from Phil Weiss’ latest installment on this very topic:

    Why the split inside the Democratic Party over BDS needs to happen

    Still BDS remains a dividing line inside the Democratic Party…

    The Democratic establishment fears the potential of this issue to divide the party in a politically-meaningful way, to split Clintonites from Sandersites and undermine the party’s ability to take on Trump. This is why Josh Marshall of TPM has slagged BDS supporters as anti-Semites. “Truly the last thing the Democratic Party needs right now is a toxic internecine fight over Israel,” he has written.

    That fear on the part of party leaders is not a new one. The battle over Palestinian human rights has been put off again and again inside the Democratic Party since the 1960s, and always with the claim on the establishment’s part that the solidarity activists are marginal radicals and troublemakers, who need to get out of the road in a hurry (think about Andrew Young, Jimmy Carter, Cynthia McKinney, Cornel West, etc).

    Yet in those 50 years, we have seen countless other once-marginal progressive questions enter the mainstream and gain establishment approval, from women’s rights to same-sex marriage to the embrace of transsexual rights. It is lost on none of us that the BDS call went out 12 years ago at a time when the trans issue was not central to Democratic Party politics; yet BDS remains off-limits, even as party leaders endorse the boycott of North Carolina over transsexuals’ access to bathrooms of their choice. The hypocrisy is glaring. [except to hasbarist and their xtian Zionist sidekicks, especially those with PEA brains]

    I believe that this division cannot be papered over any longer, and that Palestinian human rights will at last be taken up by major political figures.

    Why the optimism? Too much has changed in the political landscape. The rightwing convergence of Netanyahu and Trump has had the effect of politicizing Israel support at last in the U.S. mainstream– Republicans back Likud, Democrats back liberal Zionists. The growing demands by people of color to be represented in the U.S. establishment signal that voices like Linda Sarsour and Keith Ellison will become less and less marginal. The Democratic Party is being challenged to take a stand against Islamophobia. And meanwhile, it is clear that many national security leaders, including lately Gen. H.R. McMaster, have read the book The Israel Lobby, and don’t like the message.

    As always I focus on the Jewish community because I think it has the most influence over the politics of Israel and Palestine; and there too change is upon us. Last June’s celebrations of 50 years of permanent occupation demonstrated to American liberals something that was obvious to Palestinians years ago: Israel has no intention of allowing the creation of a Palestinian state. Liberal Zionists are in crisis over their failure to save “the good Israel”, and are looking for a way forward. Many of them will end up supporting BDS.

    This week the Jerusalem Post listed Rebecca Vilkomerson of Jewish Voice for Peace as one of the 50 most influential Jews in the world. Vilkomerson supports BDS; and there were no liberal Zionist leaders on that list. Though AIPAC was there, and the ADL too. Meantime, young Jews in IfNotNow are taking on the Jewish establishment, asking why “you never told me” about the occupation. Yes, these are still embryonic trends. But even some big Jewish donors are balking at giving money that will back Israel. The Jewish monolith on Israel is cracking, and that will give Democratic politicians permission to dissent.

    Was that Netanyahu? I thought that was the Israeli military historian, Martin van Creveld, talking. I could be wrong – it’s been a while since I read the quote.

    Of course, Netanyahu would be the one ordering that into something actionable (which I am fairly confident he would), but I don’t think he would be as stupid as to make that publicly known to the world through his mouth.

    I just tried searching the Guardian for this quote I had bookmarked many years ago. It is now missing from their archives (why am I surprised?).

    Would it actually surprise anyone if Nutsnyoyo had stated this?

    Underlining FACTS:
    1) Israel has HUNDREDS of ILLEGAL Nuclear Weapons.
    2) Israel has waged illegal wars on its neighbors and committed numerous war crimes on the Palestinians.
    3) The Israeli Lobby in America has been working overtime to encourage these behaviors and suppress the evidence.

    Occupation of the American Mind:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7BBIhzI1Qc

    In the first part, Sut Jahlly, at about 7 min, Jhally introduces Frank Luntz and the manual he prepared in 2009, The Global Language Dictionary. Jhally reviews key points and processes taught through the GLD https://www.transcend.org/tms/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/sf-israel-projects-2009-global-language-dictionary.pdf

    @ 16 min, narrates how the devastating images of Israel's killing activities in Lebanon in 1982 -- its war against Lebanon, then the massacre at Sabra and Shatilla, which were broadcast round the world, were the near-equivalent of the concentration camp images that US psychological warfare practitioners used to such long-lasting effect against Germany.
    Jhally says:

    “In the aftermath of Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and the devastating slaughter at Sabra and Shattila, . . . Israelis realized they were losing the perserception that Israel was weak plucky David. . . .

    “In 1984 a conference was convened in Jerusalem to devise a public relations strategy known as Hasbara. [screen image = cover of 1984 “The American Jewish Congress Monthly,” ] Participants included PR and advertising executives, media specialists, journalists, and leaders of major Jewish groups. According to a brochure from the Congress, no single event brought home the need for hasbara or information program more persuasively than the 1982 war in Lebanon and the events that followed. As one conference participant put it, Israel is no longer perceived to be Little David, but Goliath steamrolling across the map.

    The primary aim of the conference was to develop strategies to spin unpopular Israeli policies, and to counter negative press coverage by shaping the media frame in advance.

    “News doesn’t just jump into a camera,” a conference delegate said; “It’s directed, it’s managed, it’s made accessible.” Israel-based advertising executive Martin Fenton would put it in even more blunt terms: “Propaganda is not a dirty word,” he said. “Face it, we are in the game of changing people’s minds, making them think differently. To accomplish that, we need propaganda."

    The conference was chaired by U S advertising executive Carl Spielvogel, the legendary advertising man who created the highly acclaimed Miller Light beer ads in the 1970s.

    . . .

    The choice of Spielvogel makes perfect sense: he’s known as a master of image inversion and re-branding; responsible for transforming Miller Life to a manly beer that tough guys would drink.

    His job with Israel would require the same kind of rebranding, only in the opposite direction: to help soften the image of a country that’s coming to be seen as a bully. Spielvogel recommends creating a Cabinet post dedicated exclusively to explaining policy, whose job would not be setting policy but presenting it in the most attractive way to the rest of the world.

    (Norman Soloman):“Classic PR is to say, the problem is not the policy, it’s the presentation. When the policies are so reprehensible that many people become critical, rather than acknowledging that there’s anything wrong with the policy there is a doubling down on the PR effort.

    After Lebanon you start to see the basic hasbara in action."
     

    Jeff Gates has analyzed the persons, organizations, and methods of what he calls the “Criminal State.”

    Gates prefers not to use “zionist” to name the Criminal State, and argues that many Jews (Little Jews) are just as much the dupes and victims of the Criminal gang (Big Jews) as are the actual targets and assets of the crime gang.

    Gates discusses how this Criminal Gang dominates the “middle space” — the media: that space from which the population acquires the information it uses to make decisions.

    Gates defines the “middle space.”

    Jhally reports on how Frank Luntz, Speilvogel, and numerous other Jewish media and PR experts conferred and came to a consensus (i.e. conspired) to shape the middle space to achieve Jewish ends by maneuvering American means.

But it's past time for us all to speak what everyone by now knows; and that is that the wars in the Middle East and relentless sabre rattling at Russia are a consequence of the inordinate power and influence Jews have attained by hook and crook over our foreign policy and media, etc... Duh]

    with the advent of inane and vapid comments from Greg Boles and "An American Patriot", it would seem this article is generating an increased and well-deserved interest. It should be fun to watch as the shills and fools flay themselves on the rocks of Unz Review truth.

    Bring on the shills!

    As much as I despise the neocons, I despise the leftist, SJW Jews even more, because I think that the SJWs are more corrosive. Both groups are likely to destroy the U.S., but the Zionists at least need a functioning host.

    Phil, it seems your provocative article has inspired others to follow your suit. I’ve been reading consortium news for awhile now, but I have never read anything as provocative as Robert Parry’s most recent article, The Crazy Imbalance of Russia-gate. It starts off by referencing “the 8,000-pound gorilla in the room,” and it only gets better from that point onward. I think it’s fair to say that, unlike Valerie Plame, Parry more or less agrees with the thesis of your article. Hopefully, he won’t end up recanting as Plame did.

    All I can say is, I hope this is the tip of the proverbial iceberg:

    And, let’s not forget the 8,000-pound gorilla in the room: Israel. Does anyone think that whatever Russia may or may not have done in trying to influence U.S. politics compares even in the slightest to what Israel does all the time?

    Which government used its pressure and that of its American agents (i.e., the neocons) to push the United States into the disastrous war in Iraq? It wasn’t Russia, which was among the countries urging the U.S. not to invade; it was Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Indeed, the plans for “regime change” in Iraq and Syria can be traced back to the work of key American neoconservatives employed by Netanyahu’s political campaign in 1996. At that time, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith and other leading neocons unveiled a seminal document entitled “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,” which proposed casting aside negotiations with Arabs in favor of simply replacing the region’s anti-Israeli governments.

    However, to make that happen required drawing in the powerful U.S. military, so after the 9/11 attacks, the neocons inside President George W. Bush’s administration set in motion a deception campaign to justify invading Iraq, a war which was to be followed by more “regime changes” in Syria and Iran.

    A Wrench in the Plans

    Although the military disaster in Iraq threw a wrench into those plans, the Israeli/neocon agenda never changed. Along with Israel’s new regional ally, Saudi Arabia, a proxy war was fashioned to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

    As Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren explained, the goal was to shatter the Shiite “strategic arc” running from Iran through Syria to Lebanon and Israel’s Hezbollah enemies.

    How smashing this Shiite “arc” was in the interests of the American people – or even within their consciousness – is never explained. But it was what Israel wanted and thus it was what the U.S. government enlisted to do, even to the point of letting sophisticated U.S. weaponry fall into the hands of Syria’s Al Qaeda affiliate.

    Israel’s influence over U.S. politicians is so blatant that presidential contenders queue up every year to grovel before the Israel Lobby’s conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. In 2016, Donald Trump showed up and announced that he was not there to “pander” and then pandered his pants off.

    And, whenever Prime Minister Netanyahu wants to show off his power, he is invited to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress at which Republicans and Democrats compete to see how many times and how quickly they can leap to their feet in standing ovations. (Netanyahu holds the record for the number of times a foreign leader has addressed joint sessions with three such appearances, tied with Winston Churchill.)

    Yet, Israeli influence is so engrained in the U.S. political process that even the mention of the existence of an “Israel Lobby” brings accusations of anti-Semitism. “Israel Lobby” is a forbidden phrase in Washington.

    However, pretty much whenever Israel targets a U.S. politician for defeat, that politician goes down, a muscle that Israel flexed in the early 1980s in taking out Rep. Paul Findley and Sen. Charles Percy, two moderate Republicans whose crime was to suggest talks with the Palestine Liberation Organization.

    So, if the concern is the purity of the American democratic process and the need to protect it from outside manipulation, let’s have at it. Why not a full-scale review of who is doing what and how? Does anyone think that Israel’s influence over U.S. politics is limited to a few hundred Facebook accounts and $100,000 in ads?

    Well, given the media firestorm and gigantic traffic surrounding Phil’s column, I decided I might as well actually read the piece myself (though certainly not the 75,000 words of comments!), something I only rarely find time to do with the material published on my small webzine. Just as I’d assumed from the title, the article was entirely accurate and correct.

    Indeed, absolutely everyone with the slightest knowledge of American foreign policy knows perfectly well that Jewish groups and activists have been almost totally responsible for all our recent—and prospective!—Middle East wars, which have (unsurprisingly) always targeted Israel’s various regional enemies.

    Normally, I might be tempted to describe those who deny this simple reality as “ignorant half-wits,” but in this particular situation such a characterization is far too mild. Instead, I’d go so far as to say that anyone who disputes the basic truth has clearly unmasked himself as an obvious mental-defective or a blatant liar, much more likely the latter. Thus, incidents such as this are sometimes a useful metric for evaluating the nature of journalists and public pundits.

    Supposedly in Victorian England it was considered horrifically improper to mention that women actually had “legs.” This produced some rather bizarre circumlocutions, whether in written or spoken form, but nonetheless I’d still think that most Victorians quietly recognized that women possessed some bodily part connecting their torsos with their feet. Consider also the old fable of The Emperor’s New Clothes.

    But the most amusing tableau that comes to my mind is the public stoning scene from Monty Python’s LIFE OF BRIAN. Although religious edict prohibited women from participating, every eager stoner was actually a woman wearing an obviously fake beard, purchased from the fake-beard vendor just outside the arena. As the suspicious official asks “Are any of you women?” all reply “No!” in their fake-masculine voices. Similarly, Bill Kristol and the 117 other Jewish Neocon pundits and mega-donors all fanatically pushing for an Iran War together cry out “No Jews here!” at the top of their lungs…

    Careful, Ron. You're likely to be accused of being a "self-hating Jew" by our resident hasbarist Zionists and their "former" xtian Zionist sidekicks.
    , @Sam Shama
    Ron,

    What you did is known as a "drive-by". Drop a set of comments and then disappear to your more *important works*. But I am sure you are reading some of the comments, particularly those tagging your own. Therefore, in the interests of brevity, I'll frame my post as a set of separate but related points [accompanied by brief observations]:

    1. You have an interesting and arguably valuable Webzine. It is also arguably the venue for a class of lunatics and potentially dangerous individuals because you allow completely unfiltered entry, which also very conveniently leaves you with the plausible argument, which you customarily avail of, that you are unaware of what gets written both above and below the commentary sections. It is a clever ploy, but nevertheless leaves open the question as to whether you as the Editor-in-chief and obviously someone with an interest in influencing the court of public opinion, are acting as amicus curiae or animus nocendi? More on this later.

    2. I happen to strongly support free speech and have written about it often. When free speech devolves into high levels of acrimony as they do here, and the logical conclusions of which might easily end with ordinary Jews getting physically hurt, do you at all spare a few minutes of your precious day worrying about it? You might dismiss this as so much "victim talk" - many here claim that to be a Jewish obsession [I never whine, but ironically many of my interlocutors who make those charges here, do, and simply, I am not a bit worried about being able to take care of myself], but I am worried about those easily identified older ordinary Jewish persons who might find themselves at the receiving end of the anger of some lunatic which frequents this board. Yes, do a search and you will find plenty of instances where Jews are targeted on the UR. Living in CA, you might not appreciate it, but NY is a different story.

    3. Some of your contributors and certainly many of the regular commentators wallow in Holocaust denial. What are your views on that subject? My own is that many millions died in WWII and it isn't especially important in context to distinguish, that 6 million Jews or 55 million humans perished in that blighted episode of our history. While Holocaust museums commemorate Jews who died, they also contain the story of many others who died. It is repugnant sarcasm to remark "maybe another Holocaust memorial might be built" etc. etc. when the key should be to internalise the reminder, and to guard against a repetition.

    4. The intersection of the set that (a) denies the Holocaust, (b) calls Hitler the saviour incarnate of the German people, (c) all Jews the planners of WWII, (d) Jews the conspirators of 9/11 is also the union of those subsets. You know very well this is the case. If I exaggerate, it is not an extreme exaggeration. What are your views on this matter? Do you belong to this superset?

    5. Iran, recent U.S. wars, and Israel. You wrote clearly that 117 Jews are behind the recent wars and each was waged for the benefit of Israel. Here are my thoughts. It shouldn't be especially remarkable beyond the proportionality aspect, that Jews were key influencers behind GWB's wars, which also had more than a few non-Jewish hands endorsing the same faulty casus belli: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Clinton, Robert Gates, John Ashcroft, Mukasey, George Tenet, Gordon England, Stephen Hadley, Meghan O'Sullivan, Douglas Lute, Negroponte, John Bolton, Karl Rove, to name a few.

    The Israeli leadership, most prominently Netanyahu, found himself with yet another opportunity to jump on the bandwagon. He did jump, very unwisely despite the objections of the generals of the IDF, who actually have the task of prosecuting wars. The situation is vastly different now. There is not a whit of a chance Netanyahu can do anything to push a war against Iran. The generals will not have it. Thus his incessant melodrama, mainly to please his Black-hat coalition. The man is a power fiend.

    The point is Ron, the 117 Jews did what all men in power have always done. Power has a way of corrupting men. The history of these United States, as are the histories of all other powers, great and small, replete with the very same behaviour. It is also the case that citizens of the winners in wars get to benefit far more than the losers. Obviously. Lives get lost. A tragedy, but more the blighted tradition of Mankind. Old men foment wars and young men die. Apparently, our system of majoritarianism hasn't been able to buck that tradition of a thousand years, Jews or no Jews! Yet what can be said about the U.S. without blushing, is that of all nations, she has re-built many a continent after war ravaged them.
    Not quite the Roman Empire to Carthage. What are views on this matter?

    But Ron, you are obviously just a “self-hating Jew” whose opinions are thereby invalidated. Why you’re nearly as deplorable as I am. You’re just another David Cole type!

    Wow. It was difficult to finish reading this disgusting anti-Semitic story. What a complete smear of an entire religion. You clearly have no understanding of how organizations like AIPAC generates the grassroots support of Jews and many non-Jews. I do because I’ve been deeply involved with them for decades.

    Regarding Iran, it almost comedy when you claim that this conflict would be for Israel and American Jews. Why? Well, let’s start with the “death to America” chant coming from Iranian leaders and the IRG. Then let’s recall the Americans, non-Jews no doubt, illegally kidnapped by Iran. Then let’s recall all the American military patriots who were maimed and murdered by Iranian IED’s. Then let’s go back to the bombing of American embassy’s around the world that Iran is behind. Then let’s recall the Marine baracks bombed in Lebanon. And finally, let’s recall the American hostages held by Iran for 444 days after they took over our embassy in Tehran.

    But, yeah, I guess you’re right......it’s the Jews fault. It’s always the Jews fault. Got it.

    Every conflict in ME now is under the orders of World Zionists. If we revisit the past Iran vs Anglo-American-Zionists axis, I’m afraid UK will go bankrupt paying Iran the stolen wealth. The US will have to cut “protection money “payments to their boss, the Zionists . Iran never fought a war against The US or Israel.

    The Beirut bombings happened during the Lebanese civil war. The US sent a naval blockade to broker peace. Instead, they sided with Phalanges, when they were supposed to be “neutral “. Has America ever been neutral when it comes to the Zionists?

    American ships started bombing villages in the Shuff mountains , just above Beirut, shelling Muslim villages No reason was ever given by Reagan regime for The unprovoked shelling of the innocents. They wou repeat this again when Iran wouldn’t lose the war against her by the US ( on the covert side) European countries, most of Arab countries, and purposely with full knowledge shot down a commercial airliner and murdered in cold blood 290 innocent lives.

    Neutral, fair, or an unpaid slaves?
    What reaction would anyone have for such a dirty game.
    Blame the patriotic Lebanese Why turn on Iran for every failure our government make and blame a country that has been under direct and indirect attack since they broke the chains of bondage. Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, Al Shabab, ISIS, all caused by Iran?

    What about USS Liberty, Polard, Rosenbergs , Netanyahu, Lieberman , Cardin…….it’ll take an encyclopedia to list them all.
    Is there a real “reason ” to make Iran our enemy? Really?

Ironically, it was that discrimination which fueled the largest brain-drain in modern history -- from USSR to Israel and the USA. Now Russia is an empty shell of designer clad sheep and their best , brightest and most talented have fueled American and Israeli innovation in tech, medicine and the arts. If you hate Jews, then figure out a way besides your computer, cell phone and internet to communicate.

    “If you hate Jews, then figure out a way besides your computer, cell phone and internet to communicate” — You mean, no true Jew should listen to Beethoven?
    Before the Jewish Bolsheviks became “victims” (again?) some of them killed and tortured a lot of non-Jews and some were particularly active at destroying the Russian culture. Just check the names of Kaganovich, Yagoda, and Zemlyachka, for starter. https://enigmachannel.wordpress.com/2015/06/10/the-worlds-most-evil-woman/
    Not all Jews were evil and not all bright Jews have left Russia. Moreover, not many bright Jews want to live in Bibi-land.

    Of course plenty of people who work for or complain to ADL would be aware of UR. Perhaps your question should be about its formal or quasi formal usual procedures for bringing an issue or institution to the attention of its executive cimmittee for formulation of a policy or watching brief.

    Anything said that is negative about Jews is anti-Semitic. They can never do wrong and can only be judged by fellow tribe members.

    They are “royalty ” and above all, slave masters.

    This is incorrect.

    The idea that merely criticizing actions or behavior by Jews or Israeli policies is anti-Semitic is a propaganda meme spread by anti-Semites.

    Well, given the media firestorm and gigantic traffic surrounding Phil's column, I decided I might as well actually read the piece myself (though certainly not the 75,000 words of comments!), something I only rarely find time to do with the material published on my small webzine. Just as I'd assumed from the title, the article was entirely accurate and correct.

    Indeed, absolutely everyone with the slightest knowledge of American foreign policy knows perfectly well that Jewish groups and activists have been almost totally responsible for all our recent---and prospective!---Middle East wars, which have (unsurprisingly) always targeted Israel's various regional enemies.

    Normally, I might be tempted to describe those who deny this simple reality as "ignorant half-wits," but in this particular situation such a characterization is far too mild. Instead, I'd go so far as to say that anyone who disputes the basic truth has clearly unmasked himself as an obvious mental-defective or a blatant liar, much more likely the latter. Thus, incidents such as this are sometimes a useful metric for evaluating the nature of journalists and public pundits.

    Supposedly in Victorian England it was considered horrifically improper to mention that women actually had "legs." This produced some rather bizarre circumlocutions, whether in written or spoken form, but nonetheless I'd still think that most Victorians quietly recognized that women possessed some bodily part connecting their torsos with their feet. Consider also the old fable of The Emperor's New Clothes.

    But the most amusing tableau that comes to my mind is the public stoning scene from Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN. Although religious edict prohibited women from participating, every eager stoner was actually a woman wearing an obviously fake beard, purchased from the fake-beard vendor just outside the arena. As the suspicious official asks "Are any of you women?" all reply "No!" in their fake-masculine voices. Similarly, Bill Kristol and the 117 other Jewish Neocon pundits and mega-donors all fanatically pushing for an Iran War together cry out "No Jews here!" at the top of their lungs...

    Thank you Mr. Unz and Giraldi. Here’s a clip of the hilarious Monty Python stoning scene:

    Was that Netanyahu? I thought that was the Israeli military historian, Martin van Creveld, talking. I could be wrong - it's been a while since I read the quote.

    Of course, Netanyahu would be the one ordering that into something actionable (which I am fairly confident he would), but I don't think he would be as stupid as to make that publicly known to the world through his mouth.

    Peace.

    I just tried searching the Guardian for this quote I had bookmarked many years ago. It is now missing from their archives (why am I surprised?).

    Would it actually surprise anyone if Nutsnyoyo had stated this?

    Underlining FACTS:
    1) Israel has HUNDREDS of ILLEGAL Nuclear Weapons.
    2) Israel has waged illegal wars on its neighbors and committed numerous war crimes on the Palestinians.
    3) The Israeli Lobby in America has been working overtime to encourage these behaviors and suppress the evidence.

    Phil, it seems your provocative article has inspired others to follow your suit. I've been reading consortium news for awhile now, but I have never read anything as provocative as Robert Parry's most recent article, The Crazy Imbalance of Russia-gate. It starts off by referencing "the 8,000-pound gorilla in the room," and it only gets better from that point onward. I think it's fair to say that, unlike Valerie Plame, Parry more or less agrees with the thesis of your article. Hopefully, he won't end up recanting as Plame did.

    All I can say is, I hope this is the tip of the proverbial iceberg:


    And, let’s not forget the 8,000-pound gorilla in the room: Israel. Does anyone think that whatever Russia may or may not have done in trying to influence U.S. politics compares even in the slightest to what Israel does all the time?

    Which government used its pressure and that of its American agents (i.e., the neocons) to push the United States into the disastrous war in Iraq? It wasn’t Russia, which was among the countries urging the U.S. not to invade; it was Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Indeed, the plans for “regime change” in Iraq and Syria can be traced back to the work of key American neoconservatives employed by Netanyahu’s political campaign in 1996. At that time, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith and other leading neocons unveiled a seminal document entitled “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,” which proposed casting aside negotiations with Arabs in favor of simply replacing the region’s anti-Israeli governments.

    However, to make that happen required drawing in the powerful U.S. military, so after the 9/11 attacks, the neocons inside President George W. Bush’s administration set in motion a deception campaign to justify invading Iraq, a war which was to be followed by more “regime changes” in Syria and Iran.

    A Wrench in the Plans

    Although the military disaster in Iraq threw a wrench into those plans, the Israeli/neocon agenda never changed. Along with Israel’s new regional ally, Saudi Arabia, a proxy war was fashioned to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

    As Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren explained, the goal was to shatter the Shiite “strategic arc” running from Iran through Syria to Lebanon and Israel’s Hezbollah enemies.

    How smashing this Shiite “arc” was in the interests of the American people – or even within their consciousness – is never explained. But it was what Israel wanted and thus it was what the U.S. government enlisted to do, even to the point of letting sophisticated U.S. weaponry fall into the hands of Syria’s Al Qaeda affiliate.

    Israel’s influence over U.S. politicians is so blatant that presidential contenders queue up every year to grovel before the Israel Lobby’s conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. In 2016, Donald Trump showed up and announced that he was not there to “pander” and then pandered his pants off.

    And, whenever Prime Minister Netanyahu wants to show off his power, he is invited to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress at which Republicans and Democrats compete to see how many times and how quickly they can leap to their feet in standing ovations. (Netanyahu holds the record for the number of times a foreign leader has addressed joint sessions with three such appearances, tied with Winston Churchill.)

    Yet, Israeli influence is so engrained in the U.S. political process that even the mention of the existence of an “Israel Lobby” brings accusations of anti-Semitism. “Israel Lobby” is a forbidden phrase in Washington.

    However, pretty much whenever Israel targets a U.S. politician for defeat, that politician goes down, a muscle that Israel flexed in the early 1980s in taking out Rep. Paul Findley and Sen. Charles Percy, two moderate Republicans whose crime was to suggest talks with the Palestine Liberation Organization.

    So, if the concern is the purity of the American democratic process and the need to protect it from outside manipulation, let’s have at it. Why not a full-scale review of who is doing what and how? Does anyone think that Israel’s influence over U.S. politics is limited to a few hundred Facebook accounts and $100,000 in ads?

    This unholy alliance between U.S. neoconservatives and Netanyahu was no accident. They had long been partners. Back in the late 1970’s, Netanyahu convened many of these same thinkers to Israel for a summit at the Jonathan Institute—an event which some have called the birth of the American neoconservative movement. Back then, their focus was hostility to the Soviet Union and the “national liberation movements” alleged to be Soviet pawns. The ideology they spawned was decidedly pro-Israel and anti-Arab, and extremely hostile to all things Palestinian.

    thanks for the quote and the link to James Zogby's article in 972 Mag.

    Unfortunately, Zogby is radically mistaken in stating that the July, 1979 Jonathan Conference marked "the birth of the neoconservative movement." Neoconservatism was born in cribs and grew up in Trotskyite playpens set up in the corners of free colleges in New York City in the early post-war years.

    The Jonathan Conference is more appropriately identified as the birth -- or the blueprint -- of the Global War on Terror.

    Nor was the focus of that conference, its participants, or the movement it kicked off "hostility to the Soviet Union" and its "liberation movements." The focus was terrorism. Benjamin Netanyahu edited the book that collected the speeches delivered at the conference. https://books.google.com/books/about/International_Terrorism.html?id=s8Pm37gg5JkC
    An opening note to the book states:


    "The Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism was convened by the Jonathan Institute to focus public attention on the real nature of international terrorism, on the threat it poses to all democratic societies, and on the measures necessary for defeating the forces of terror. "
     
    There were 48 speeches in the seven sessions of the conference; 26 of the speeches used the word "terror" in its title; only one of the speeches mentioned the Soviets: Brian Crozier's presentation was titled "Soviet Support for International Terrorism."

    This comment/correction is not just a pedantic quibble with Zogby's misstatements. The Jonathan Institute, the raid at Entebbe that gave rise to it, and this conference and the memes, vocabulary, frames, personalities and (already well-established) ideologies represented at it, are crucial for understanding the US - Israel relationship and the wars that have been fought as a consequence of that relationship.

    The creation of a Jewish state in the middle of the Arab-Islamic world was pure insanity, both for the Jews and the United States, our "ally" as our bane. The creation of Israel was opposed by George Marshall, Dean Acheson, Dean Rusk, and others I'm sure (I'm hardly an expert on the matter). They knew what would happen, generally if not specifically: wars, terrorism, involving not only Israel but also the U.S. and it's allies. Though I'm sure they didn't envision 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and much else, nor what will occur henceforth: the bombing and invasion and occupation of Iran?

    Yeah, our political strategists may not have understood the entire risk we were taking on, but the dancing Israelis on 911 and their leaders sure did.

    Mr. Christian--You write very clearly and with great accuracy. And given your facts and thematic content, in looking at these same Tribal Zio-Dynamics played out now for 75 years, one is forced to ask: "How was Hitler wrong about Anything?" Maybe he read the "Talmud" !! Certainly, the long-wished-for extermination of the White Race is now underway in Europe. Ask any Swede ! "...And we shall drive them before us like Cattle--as Beasts of the Fields we shall drive them before us...."

    “How was Hitler wrong about Anything?”

    I love that, right back to Hitler. I point to the avarice and desire of present day American Jews to undermine the society through their media and YOU trot out Hitler. Said American Jews advocate behaviors in our young through academia and media that they would never desire for their own. Modern-Day Israel has walls and gun towers keeping out the Arabs (not that I blame them), yet Jewish media in this country advocates free-borders. Their hypocrisy is breathtaking. Yet, you drag out Hitler. As for the United States, they could write a book about the Family Krupp-Stein (Lockeed, Boeing, all the rest) and the wars they drive. Do a who’s who of the biggest stockholders and boards and corporate members. Please.

    My clan is substantially smaller for WW2, my Pop and all his brothers had 6 or more kids and so the 6 or 8 that he knew of that got killed in Europe didn’t get to beget more Christian kiddies for themselves. And they got croaked in some measure, on behalf of Jews. So spare me Hitler in all this. As for me, I danced on the flight decks of a couple of carriers in an A6 squadron, mostly in the eastern Mediterranean in direct support of Israel and Carter’s gunboat diplomacy and while I was at it wandered all over that God-Forsaken rock-turned-oasis. With all this, MY conscience is QUITE clean. We’re not talking Hitler, we’re pointing out excesses and undermining of the society that came to save “what was left of the Jews” from Hitler 75 years back. If Hitler was doing all that killing, it sure was a good thing we came to help! Ignored by Jews of today, but there WAS sacrifice on their behalf. Instead, WE get credit for Hitler.

    Pointing out Jewish-owned media’s push for degraded behavior and social norms while they demand the opposite for their own isn’t Hitler, it’s a demand for accountability, but that flew long ago. Protest, it’s “Hitler!”. Hilarious meme, that.

    They are only about 14 million Jews in the whole world.

    There are about 2.5 Billion Christians who believe in the Bible and their Jewish Messiah, born in Yisrael. All Evangelical Christians believe and support Yisrael with prayers and some with money. Bible command us Christians to support Yisrael.

    Romans 15.27 - Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them (Jews). For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.

    So include all of us (Christians) who support Yisrael in your wrong thinking.

    So include all of us (Christians) who support Yisrael in your wrong thinking.

    You so called “Christians” should not conflate Jews with Zionists. You also need to include the writings of Isaiah in your studies. And I hope you’re not including the State of Israel in your prayers because it is an evil entity. As evil as the USA.

    “ To [my grandfather] Zionism was counterfeit Judaism and the Zionists charlatans. His Orthodox belief held that the re-establishment of Israel was a matter of God in the messianic future. He would have agreed with Yehoshofat Harkabi, a former chief of Israeli military intelligence, who said “The Jews always considered that the land belonged to them, but in fact it belonged to the Arabs. I would go further: I would say the original source of this conflict lies with Israel.”

    http://mondoweiss.net/2012/08/my-grandfather-sparked-my-interest-in-debate-over-zionism.html

    Here’s another

    “It was really amazing. We were living in a [New York] neighborhood that was not only Jewish but largely Communist. “

    Whether or not Zionism is "good for the Jews", it does serve a valuable purpose for Americans. If you don't want pesky Jews here, then the Middle East is the most logical and convenient dumping ground for them, isn't it? Even the early National Socialists thought as much.

    Exactly.

    It’s no secret that Cuban-Americans have had veto power over our foreign policy with regards to Cuba since the 1960′s and continue to do so.
     
    LOL

    Our PEA-brain Zionist sidekick is trying to make the case that the Cuban lobby is the equivalent of the Zionist lobby.

    If that's indeed the case, you shouldn't have any difficulty explaining to us Dumb Goyim who the Cuban equivalent is of:

    Paul (combs his hair with his own spit) Wolfowitz, former Deputy Secretary of Defense?

    I Lewis (writer of the poplars love letter to Judith Miller) Libby, former Chief of Staff for VP Dick Cheney?

    Douglas (the dumbest fucking guy on the planet) Feith, former under secretary of Defense for Policy?

    Richard (the Prince of Darkness) Pearl, former chairman of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee?

    etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.,

    While you're at it, could you also tell us how many wars the US launched against Cuba's neighbours in an effort to enhance the security of the Cuban people and how the price tag for those wars compares to the $6 T shelled out by the American taxpayer for the wars to remake the ME?

    Could you tell us the amount the US taxpayer has paid in annual tribute to Cuba at the behest of the Cuban lobby and how it compares to the $3.8 B they pay to Israel at the behest of the Zionist lobby?

    Good luck!

    That’s quite a rant? Whar set it off? You seem to be accusing Iffen of being a “Zionist sidekick” which is beyond absurd if you bother at all about fairness and accuracy. (I recall the very odd statement that he didn’t know any Jews or Palestinians though I don’t rely on that for my opinion of his stance).

    To an outsider who observes what Americans call a democracy with amazed disbelief the differences between the Cuban and Israeli lobbies are less numerous than their similarities. True, in recent times the ME policies are far more consequetial ànd far more costly than anything to do with Cuba but both lobbies are distortions of the process of democratic government which probably harm the average American. Both deal in corruption of the democratic process.

    Wow. It was difficult to finish reading this disgusting anti-Semitic story. What a complete smear of an entire religion. You clearly have no understanding of how organizations like AIPAC generates the grassroots support of Jews and many non-Jews. I do because I’ve been deeply involved with them for decades.

    Regarding Iran, it almost comedy when you claim that this conflict would be for Israel and American Jews. Why? Well, let’s start with the “death to America” chant coming from Iranian leaders and the IRG. Then let’s recall the Americans, non-Jews no doubt, illegally kidnapped by Iran. Then let’s recall all the American military patriots who were maimed and murdered by Iranian IED’s. Then let’s go back to the bombing of American embassy’s around the world that Iran is behind. Then let’s recall the Marine baracks bombed in Lebanon. And finally, let’s recall the American hostages held by Iran for 444 days after they took over our embassy in Tehran.

    But, yeah, I guess you’re right......it’s the Jews fault. It’s always the Jews fault. Got it.

    Well, let’s start with … Then let’s recall the Americans,..Then let’s recall all the American military …Then let’s go back … Then let’s recall the … And finally, let’s recall the bla bla bla…

    In all your recalling, why don’t you consider recalling the Allies’ surprise attack on Iran (Persia) in 1941 (prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor) and the subsequent confiscation of Iran’s oil fields and oil industry and the establishment of the Persian Corridor through which the Allies, the USA included, shipped enough war materiel to Bloody Joey Stalin sufficient to equip 60 Soviet divisions?

    How about recalling the toppling of the Shah?

    Do you recall that the US shot down Iranian passenger airliner 655, which was in Iranian territory?

    How’z about recalling the continuous provocation and threats against Iran including economic sanctions ( a prelude to war), by the US and Israel?

    I’m sure if you tried hard you could do some recalling, no?

    Well, given the media firestorm and gigantic traffic surrounding Phil's column, I decided I might as well actually read the piece myself (though certainly not the 75,000 words of comments!), something I only rarely find time to do with the material published on my small webzine. Just as I'd assumed from the title, the article was entirely accurate and correct.

    Indeed, absolutely everyone with the slightest knowledge of American foreign policy knows perfectly well that Jewish groups and activists have been almost totally responsible for all our recent---and prospective!---Middle East wars, which have (unsurprisingly) always targeted Israel's various regional enemies.

    Normally, I might be tempted to describe those who deny this simple reality as "ignorant half-wits," but in this particular situation such a characterization is far too mild. Instead, I'd go so far as to say that anyone who disputes the basic truth has clearly unmasked himself as an obvious mental-defective or a blatant liar, much more likely the latter. Thus, incidents such as this are sometimes a useful metric for evaluating the nature of journalists and public pundits.

    Supposedly in Victorian England it was considered horrifically improper to mention that women actually had "legs." This produced some rather bizarre circumlocutions, whether in written or spoken form, but nonetheless I'd still think that most Victorians quietly recognized that women possessed some bodily part connecting their torsos with their feet. Consider also the old fable of The Emperor's New Clothes.

    But the most amusing tableau that comes to my mind is the public stoning scene from Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN. Although religious edict prohibited women from participating, every eager stoner was actually a woman wearing an obviously fake beard, purchased from the fake-beard vendor just outside the arena. As the suspicious official asks "Are any of you women?" all reply "No!" in their fake-masculine voices. Similarly, Bill Kristol and the 117 other Jewish Neocon pundits and mega-donors all fanatically pushing for an Iran War together cry out "No Jews here!" at the top of their lungs...

    Ron, I wonder if you, like Norman Finkelstein, have already been declared persona non grata by Israel.

    If so this would certainly affirm your loyalty to America. You can’t have dual loyalty if you’re banned from Israel, hence you’re solely American.

    Perhaps we should encourage as many Jews as possible to follow suite and get themselves banned from Israel }:-)

    2, 1830 Indian Removal Act
    3. 1846-Mexico
    4. 1894-Hawaii
    5. 1895-Cuba
    6. 1899-Philippines

    Let's stop at 6 for the moment.

    So...when in all that push/expansion, by force of arms, Jews were instigators/in control?
    Just pick a number.

    1. 1812 -Canada
    2, 1830 Indian Removal Act
    3. 1846-Mexico
    4. 1894-Hawaii
    5. 1895-Cuba
    6. 1899-Philippines

    The first three were for the benefit of the United States and the American people. The last three we should not have been involved with . Your numbers 5 & 6 are really one conflict. We did not have the Philippines until we took them from the Spanish during the war over Cuba. I do blame that idiotic war for most of our problems in the 20th Century, at least in the Pacific. No Spanish American War then you have no empire spread across the Pacific then you have no conflict with Japan in the late 1930′s and early 1940′s.

    Would that both idiot Roosevelt cousins had been strangled in the crib. Instead of fighting Spain, the Navy should have been sinking ships bringing immigrants to our shores.

    I am glad we did not take Canada. The US has enough frozen tundra unfit for human habitation as it is.

    How disingenuous! It's not on the same terms at all. Normal states are formed in an act of self determination by the longstanding landed population, eg. Indonesia, Timor Leste, Bangladesh. The key to their legitimacy is that the population making the declaration has had a long and unchallenged residence upon that land, which equates to de facto ownership. Accordingly, no one else suffers a disservice when they formalise their statehood and gain an internationally recognised monopoly over the use of force within their carefully demarcated patch of the Earth.

    Israel is an entirely different case. It first came into existence in the minds of European Jews living in Europe and it was only later that the demographic foundation was established. It was established by coercion and forced migration, both in to and out of an arbitrary and already populated piece of land. Israel is illegitimate firstly because there was no substantial history of Jewish residence on the claimed land, secondly because the preexistent population was disserviced and remains to this day aggrieved, and thirdly because the borders have never been officially established.

    So by the 'same terms as any other people', the Palestinians would have the absolute right to establish their own state, whereas Israel is illegitimate and the Ashkenazis should go back to wherever they originally came from.

    I am a Zionist if Zionist means that one gives approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state.

    Are you capable of switching gears – of changing your opinion? In the fullness of time, what was created by Zionism turned out to be very ugly.

    Zionism is a racist fascist ideology – why does it have a right to a slice of our earth? Could not some other Jewish ideology establish Israel?

    It is 100% for sure that Zionism has been a negative force in this world. Zionism continues to do bad things.

    Why are you still a Zionist?

    I can’t get at Big Jews to deliver the punch in the face they so richly deserve for teaching children to hate their grandparents.
    Little Jews are more accessible.
    Somebody might come across you at a hockey game.
    Sometimes anger gets misdirected.

     
    So you are in fact encouraging physical harm on Jews, Big and small, and attempting to present a species of twisted justification for it, because....because...you could not find the material you were looking for in the library! Good show.

    And you end this bizarre rant by telling Jews that they should "suck it up"

    Sorry mate, "suck it up" we shan't anymore. All attempts to physically hurt us will be dealt with, in keeping with the law. Perhaps discussed over a cup of tea?

    So you are in fact encouraging physical harm on Jews…

    Yeah, yeah, we get it. Only your kind are entitled to feel that way. Read the article. Who is threatening whom with physical harm?

    I guess only “Jews” can are entitled to feel victimized and are the only ones entitled to advocate physical harm on others. How special. Tender, too.

There is a difference. One never knows when some complete mental case might take his cue after reading the material here and decide to harm, even assassinate one of these public figures.

    Well, given the media firestorm and gigantic traffic surrounding Phil's column, I decided I might as well actually read the piece myself (though certainly not the 75,000 words of comments!), something I only rarely find time to do with the material published on my small webzine. Just as I'd assumed from the title, the article was entirely accurate and correct.

    Indeed, absolutely everyone with the slightest knowledge of American foreign policy knows perfectly well that Jewish groups and activists have been almost totally responsible for all our recent---and prospective!---Middle East wars, which have (unsurprisingly) always targeted Israel's various regional enemies.

    Normally, I might be tempted to describe those who deny this simple reality as "ignorant half-wits," but in this particular situation such a characterization is far too mild. Instead, I'd go so far as to say that anyone who disputes the basic truth has clearly unmasked himself as an obvious mental-defective or a blatant liar, much more likely the latter. Thus, incidents such as this are sometimes a useful metric for evaluating the nature of journalists and public pundits.

    Supposedly in Victorian England it was considered horrifically improper to mention that women actually had "legs." This produced some rather bizarre circumlocutions, whether in written or spoken form, but nonetheless I'd still think that most Victorians quietly recognized that women possessed some bodily part connecting their torsos with their feet. Consider also the old fable of The Emperor's New Clothes.

    But the most amusing tableau that comes to my mind is the public stoning scene from Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN. Although religious edict prohibited women from participating, every eager stoner was actually a woman wearing an obviously fake beard, purchased from the fake-beard vendor just outside the arena. As the suspicious official asks "Are any of you women?" all reply "No!" in their fake-masculine voices. Similarly, Bill Kristol and the 117 other Jewish Neocon pundits and mega-donors all fanatically pushing for an Iran War together cry out "No Jews here!" at the top of their lungs...

  812. It’s too bad the Zionists, (aka fake Jews) have suckered so many otherwise decent Jews into supporting their causes.

    The troublemakers obviously don’t give a flip about the “Jew in the street” any more than they care about anyone else.

    I guess all their Muslim baiting and bashing along with their vilification of anything related to Christianity hasn’t fomented enough strife and chaos, so now they’re turning up the heat on real Jews.

    The rats named in the article, and their lackeys, have nothing to do with Jews. Nothing at all, and the type has been with humanity from the beginning. They come in all forms, too, so we must never lose sight of that.

    It’s a relative handful of uber-rich cloacas who are the problem and not all of them are Jews. Please remember that.

    The title of the article should be, “America’s Fraudulent Jews Are Driving American Plutocrats’ Wars.”

  814. I had never heard of Philip Giraldi before coming across a link to his latest tirade against Jewish folk, while reading the Times of Israel this past week. My gosh, if his article was written in German, I would have believed that it came from Der Stuermer in 1934 Germany.

    Having grown up in the mixed French- Anglo Saxon culture of Montreal Canada in the 1960′s (before the era of the neocons), I was exposed to similar Zionist conspiracy theories espoused by so-called friends, colleagues and teachers. The specific themes may have been different, but the focus was always the same …. Jews control this and that, they caused all our wars, etc. etc. I could never dissect the source of this invective, which I found even in folks who, previous to myself, had never met a Jew in their life. G-d forbid, these were all armchair warriors, none of whom had put their lives at risk for their country.

    A brief read of Mr Giraldi’s previous articles clearly exposes this ‘eminent’ historian’s ingenuous manipulation, distortion and omission of historical facts regarding Jews in general and Zionism is particular.

    Yes, Jewish Americans are prominent neocons. They also excel as researchers in physics and biology, as engineers, entertainers, movie moguls, financiers, software programmers, writers, benefactors of universities, hospitals and the poor, …. you name it, far out of proportion to their representation in the general population. As for controlling the media, just read the New York Times or watch CNN … ‘friends of Israel???

    In WW II, 550,000 Jewish men and women served in the American armed forces. At that time, Jewish Americans comprised 4.3% of the total armed forces, while representing 3.3% of the total population. Jewish fighters included 2,000 young men, refugees from Germany before 1939, who were attached to the spearhead of each America fighting unit, from Normandy to the final defeat of Germany. 11,000 Jewish Americans gave their lives for the USA defending democracy.

    Today, young Israeli soldiers spend three years of their lives, immediately after high school, on the front line of defense of democratic values and freedom for the western world. These young people are not armchair warriors. They hold political views from the left to the right of the political spectrum. Since 1948, nearly 10,000 Israeli soldiers sacrificed their lives to defend their country, equivalent to some 500,000 American lives. The number of civilians killed in terrorist attacks is in the thousands.

    As for Israel-Palestine-Iran, we are witnessing today in North Korea the danger of nuclear weapons in a rogue state threatening to destroy America. Why, Iran espouses this venomous invective against Israel on a daily basis. Does Israel not have the right to defend its interests as does America?

    Palestine already exists. For the attention of Mr Giraldi, it is called Jordan and comprises 74% of the British Mandate, a country gifted as the booby prize to an Arab sheikh in 1922.

    Arguably, Israel has done more for American security in the past decade than all of America’s other allies together. The $3B in military aid granted to Israel is used to procure armaments in the USA, while the joint development of anti-missile technology, active armor, drone development and cyber counter-terrorism technologies, have and will save lives and grant to both Americans and Israelis the ability to plan near and long-term defense strategies for mutual benefit. The cost of these programs pales in comparison to the hundreds of billions of dollars spent from America’s annual defense budget to station forces in South Korea, Japan, and Europe.

    Israeli technology, in the fields of science, medicine, biology, communication, and even autonomous cars, has contributed enormously to the American economy, adding thousands of jobs, high salaries and enormous initiative for future development and well-being.

    As for TV screens, I would sincerely suggest that every time Mr Giraldi gives an interview the following label should pop up: “Warning: the commentator is a rabid hater of Jews and Israel”.

    Finally, and certainly not the least important part of my message …… it is not the rich, powerful Jewish lobby paying Mr Giraldi’s bills. I suspect that funding comes from off-shore sources, all with a nefarious goal in mind and not necessarily serving America’s best interests. In whose pockets is he, this man?

    Excuse me, Mr Giraldi, for my conspiracy theory!

    If you don't mind, could you be a little more specific by providing direct quotes from the article that are good examples of these failings?

    It appears the thrust of the argument you've put forward rests on an assessment of the net benefits that the special relationship proffers the US. And on the basis of your 700 word comment, you would like the reader to believe the scales indicate the assets outweigh the liabilities... and you provide the following as just one example of those benefits:

    Arguably, Israel has done more for American security in the past decade than all of America’s other allies together.
     
    There's one problem with this line of argument, though. Two distinguished Profs. (Mearsheimer & Walt) from two of the most prestigious academic institutions in the country (University of Chicago and Harvard) wrote a book (463 pages), The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, in which they devoted an entire chapter on this very topic, Ch. 2 Israel: Strategic Asset or Liability?

    Here's a summary of their assessment that shows the opposite - i.e., the liabilities outweigh the assets:

    Why does Israel, and no other country in the world, receive such consistent deference from America's leading politicians?

    Some might say that it is because Israel is a vital strategic asset for the United States. Indeed, it is said to be an indispensable partner in the "war on terror." Others will answer that there is a powerful moral case for provid­ing Israel with unqualified support, because it is the only country in the re­gion that "shares our values." But neither of these arguments stands up to fair-minded scrutiny. Washington's close relationship with Jerusalem makes it harder, not easier, to defeat the terrorists who are now targeting the United States, and it simultaneously undermines America's standing with important allies around the world. Now that the Cold War is over, Israel has become a strategic liability for the United States. Yet no aspiring politician is going to say so in public, or even raise the possibility...

    In Chapter 2 ("Israel: Strategic Asset or Liability?"), we examine the fa­miliar argument that Israel deserves lavish support because it is a valuable strategic asset. We show that although Israel may have been an asset during the Cold War, it is now increasingly a strategic liability. Backing Israel so strongly helps fuel America's terrorism problem and makes it harder for the United States to address the other problems it faces in the Middle East. Un­conditional support for Israel also complicates U.S. relations with a number of other countries around the world, thereby imposing additional costs on the United States. Yet even though the costs of backing Israel have risen while the benefits have declined, American support continues to increase. This sit­uation suggests that something other than strategic imperatives is at work.

    I am a Zionist to the extent that, in political terms, I give retroactive approval to the establishment of the Mandate and the subsequent establishment of the State of Israel by the Jews in Palestine.

    In an earlier life I was an Evangelical Christian and believed in a Biblical justification for the existence of Israel. Most of the people that I care about are Evangelical Christians and within the context of American electoral politics I believe that they are entitled to have their preferences, including their preferences with regard to Israel, considered and I support them in their exercise of political influence.
    I consider Zionism a form of nationalism.

    I am a Zionist if Zionist means that one gives approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state.

    Jesus was a Judean, not a "Jewish" man. There is a difference. Iranian followers of the Hebrew religion have never called themselves "Jewish", they have always been called and called themselves "Ya-hood". That translates to Judean, not Jewish. Their community is 2,500 years older than any "Jews" that sprung up in history.
    Judeans are Middle Eastern; Jews are ancestral converts to Judaism (only in appearance) from a Turko-Mongolic fallen country known as Khazaria. Judaism, like all other -isms, is a construct of the European banking cartels, which are composed and headed by Khazarians. The Khazarians are everyone's problem today because of their "chosen" ideology and the depths to which they've implemented it over centuries. The Khazarian Jews morphed a Yiddish culture into a Semitic appearing one. They are not Semites. They are descendants of Cain, not Shem or Sem.
    The Hebrew religion is only the Books of Moses. Judaism is the Books of Moses as amended and defied by the Talmud and Kabala. The Talmud and Kabala are aimed at creating loopholes in the Word of God as passed on to Moses. They took the first five books of the Torah, and added their own. Because the Talmud and Kabala defy the Word of God, they are, by definition, Satanic. They have added books to the Tanakh that are purely political and a mountainload of tactics and strategies on how to dominate Gentiles.
    The Judean consider "Israel" to be all of mankind, not simply a nation. They consider Abraham's covenant with God to pre-date Moses, and therefore, the Judean religion. It is a covenant with all mankind. The "Jews" consider only themselves to be "Chosen".
    Because the labels are applied in English and European languages, Iran's Judeans are called Jewish as well, but they are not the same thing at all. Iran's Judeans are direct descendants of the Hebrews of the Bible, the Jews are simply political imposters. They are basically trying to steal the identity of the Judeans.
    - Nikademus Lawman

    I’m surrounded by people who call themselves Persian Jews, not Iranian Judeans. They immigrated to my neighborhood starting in 1980 and are now the predominant group. I asked a few about Iranian Judeans. None ever heard of Iranian Judeans including a couple old men who go to shul every day.

    Yes, Jewish Americans are prominent neocons. They also excel as researchers in physics and biology, as engineers, entertainers, movie moguls, financiers, software programmers, writers, benefactors of universities, hospitals and the poor, .... you name it, far out of proportion to their representation in the general population. As for controlling the media, just read the New York Times or watch CNN ... 'friends of Israel???

    In WW II, 550,000 Jewish men and women served in the American armed forces. At that time, Jewish Americans comprised 4.3% of the total armed forces, while representing 3.3% of the total population. Jewish fighters included 2,000 young men, refugees from Germany before 1939, who were attached to the spearhead of each America fighting unit, from Normandy to the final defeat of Germany. 11,000 Jewish Americans gave their lives for the USA defending democracy.

    Today, young Israeli soldiers spend three years of their lives, immediately after high school, on the front line of defense of democratic values and freedom for the western world. These young people are not armchair warriors. They hold political views from the left to the right of the political spectrum. Since 1948, nearly 10,000 Israeli soldiers sacrificed their lives to defend their country, equivalent to some 500,000 American lives. The number of civilians killed in terrorist attacks is in the thousands.

    As for Israel-Palestine-Iran, we are witnessing today in North Korea the danger of nuclear weapons in a rogue state threatening to destroy America. Why, Iran espouses this venomous invective against Israel on a daily basis. Does Israel not have the right to defend its interests as does America?

    Palestine already exists. For the attention of Mr Giraldi, it is called Jordan and comprises 74% of the British Mandate, a country gifted as the booby prize to an Arab sheikh in 1922.

    Arguably, Israel has done more for American security in the past decade than all of America's other allies together. The $3B in military aid granted to Israel is used to procure armaments in the USA, while the joint development of anti-missile technology, active armor, drone development and cyber counter-terrorism technologies, have and will save lives and grant to both Americans and Israelis the ability to plan near and long-term defense strategies for mutual benefit. The cost of these programs pales in comparison to the hundreds of billions of dollars spent from America's annual defense budget to station forces in South Korea, Japan, and Europe.

    Israeli technology, in the fields of science, medicine, biology, communication, and even autonomous cars, has contributed enormously to the American economy, adding thousands of jobs, high salaries and enormous initiative for future development and well-being.

    As for TV screens, I would sincerely suggest that every time Mr Giraldi gives an interview the following label should pop up: “Warning: the commentator is a rabid hater of Jews and Israel".

    Finally, and certainly not the least important part of my message ...... it is not the rich, powerful Jewish lobby paying Mr Giraldi's bills. I suspect that funding comes from off-shore sources, all with a nefarious goal in mind and not necessarily serving America's best interests. In whose pockets is he, this man?

    Excuse me, Mr Giraldi, for my conspiracy theory!

    I had never heard of Philip Giraldi before coming across a link to his latest tirade against Jewish folk, while reading the Times of Israel this past week. My gosh, if his article was written in German, I would have believed that it came from Der Stuermer in 1934 Germany.

    Having grown up in the mixed French- Anglo Saxon culture of Montreal Canada in the 1960's (before the era of the neocons), I was exposed to similar Zionist conspiracy theories espoused by so-called friends, colleagues and teachers. The specific themes may have been different, but the focus was always the same .... Jews control this and that, they caused all our wars, etc. etc. I could never dissect the source of this invective, which I found even in folks who, previous to myself, had never met a Jew in their life.

    Excuse me, Mr Giraldi, for my conspiracy theory!

    A brief read of Mr Giraldi’s previous articles clearly exposes this ‘eminent’ historian’s ingenuous manipulation, distortion and omission of historical facts regarding Jews in general and Zionism is particular.

    If you don’t mind, could you be a little more specific by providing direct quotes from the article that are good examples of these failings?

    It appears the thrust of the argument you’ve put forward rests on an assessment of the net benefits that the special relationship proffers the US. And on the basis of your 700 word comment, you would like the reader to believe the scales indicate the assets outweigh the liabilities… and you provide the following as just one example of those benefits:

    Arguably, Israel has done more for American security in the past decade than all of America’s other allies together.

    There’s one problem with this line of argument, though. Two distinguished Profs. (Mearsheimer & Walt) from two of the most prestigious academic institutions in the country (University of Chicago and Harvard) wrote a book (463 pages), The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, in which they devoted an entire chapter on this very topic, Ch. 2 Israel: Strategic Asset or Liability?

    Here’s a summary of their assessment that shows the opposite – i.e., the liabilities outweigh the assets:

    Why does Israel, and no other country in the world, receive such consistent deference from America’s leading politicians?

    Some might say that it is because Israel is a vital strategic asset for the United States. Indeed, it is said to be an indispensable partner in the “war on terror.” Others will answer that there is a powerful moral case for provid­ing Israel with unqualified support, because it is the only country in the re­gion that “shares our values.” But neither of these arguments stands up to fair-minded scrutiny. Washington’s close relationship with Jerusalem makes it harder, not easier, to defeat the terrorists who are now targeting the United States, and it simultaneously undermines America’s standing with important allies around the world. Now that the Cold War is over, Israel has become a strategic liability for the United States. Yet no aspiring politician is going to say so in public, or even raise the possibility…

    In Chapter 2 (“Israel: Strategic Asset or Liability?”), we examine the fa­miliar argument that Israel deserves lavish support because it is a valuable strategic asset. We show that although Israel may have been an asset during the Cold War, it is now increasingly a strategic liability. Backing Israel so strongly helps fuel America’s terrorism problem and makes it harder for the United States to address the other problems it faces in the Middle East. Un­conditional support for Israel also complicates U.S. relations with a number of other countries around the world, thereby imposing additional costs on the United States. Yet even though the costs of backing Israel have risen while the benefits have declined, American support continues to increase. This sit­uation suggests that something other than strategic imperatives is at work.

    Israel was dismantled in 70 AD, it's peoples disbursed throughout the nations. It did not become a country until 1948 after the evils of WWII.

    Dick Cheney and Bush - two greedy, corrupt oil barons - were the minds behind war with Iraq (it should have been Pakistan, where the real President found Osama Bin Laden living). Iraq was all about OIL, the stealing of it and the Bush daddy-issue punishment of Saddam Hussein. I still tsk to myself when I hear so-called 'christ' followers complaining about the jews, when Jesus was a traditional jew. The blood of Christ is the blood of a Jewish man. Ignorance to this fact, laid out in the Bible about his ancestry (of the tribe of Benjamin), makes neocons look very foolish indeed. The jews are not the ones behind going to wars. Big corporations who stand to gain billions are. The military industrial complex is. That includes corrupt war-criminal Dick Cheney and his ilk.

    Users of weasel language demand that others be very precise with the words that they use, yet hold themselves exempt from doing so.

    I am a Zionist to the extent that, in political terms, I give retroactive approval to the establishment of the Mandate and the subsequent establishment of the State of Israel by the Jews in Palestine.

    In an earlier life I was an Evangelical Christian and believed in a Biblical justification for the existence of Israel. Most of the people that I care about are Evangelical Christians and within the context of American electoral politics I believe that they are entitled to have their preferences, including their preferences with regard to Israel, considered and I support them in their exercise of political influence.
    I consider Zionism a form of nationalism.

    I am a Zionist if Zionist means that one gives approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state.

    I am a Zionist if Zionist means that one gives approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state.

    How disingenuous! It’s not on the same terms at all. Normal states are formed in an act of self determination by the longstanding landed population, eg. Indonesia, Timor Leste, Bangladesh. The key to their legitimacy is that the population making the declaration has had a long and unchallenged residence upon that land, which equates to de facto ownership. Accordingly, no one else suffers a disservice when they formalise their statehood and gain an internationally recognised monopoly over the use of force within their carefully demarcated patch of the Earth.

    Israel is an entirely different case. It first came into existence in the minds of European Jews living in Europe and it was only later that the demographic foundation was established. It was established by coercion and forced migration, both in to and out of an arbitrary and already populated piece of land. Israel is illegitimate firstly because there was no substantial history of Jewish residence on the claimed land, secondly because the preexistent population was disserviced and remains to this day aggrieved, and thirdly because the borders have never been officially established.

    So by the ‘same terms as any other people’, the Palestinians would have the absolute right to establish their own state, whereas Israel is illegitimate and the Ashkenazis should go back to wherever they originally came from.

    This report from farsi news-reporting:

    http://www.resalat-news.com/fa/?code=251219

    A look at the speech reveals something ominous. What Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, actually threatened was that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically and said Iran could flatten it.

    This is an accurate translation of that article:

    Member of the National Security and Foreign Affairs Commission of the Majlis said: 36 military bases of America are in the range of the Rocket Forces of Iran.

    As reported by FARS [news agency] from Qom, Hojjatol-Islam Mojtabaii Zuvalnur, at the commemorative ceremony for Basij Mohandis San’ati, declared:

    “It is the leadership of the country that has maintained safety and security, and even now that new threats against the Iranian nation are raised…”

    Having said that “Even by adhering to [international] principles and norms, there is no end to the threats”, he added:

    “certain people [in Iran] who are removed from the culture of Ashura, Islamic Revolution, Jihad, and resistance, by looking at the military equipment and technology of the enemy, bring up the subject of surrender. Just as it was at the time of American presence in Afghanistan, with 128 signatures to a letter to the leader, for surrender to the enemy.”

    Zolnavar, by pointing out that in the previous year the military budget of America exceeded $650 billion, declared:

    “the budget of Iran is not even 100 Billion! We accept that the enemy is superior in some dimensions, but the conclusion that only superiority in military equipment brings about success, is false.”

    He said: “Islamic Republic has adopted and pursues Asymmetric Response, and in the area of missile technology has reached extensive capabilities, so should the enemy ever fire a missile in the direction of Iran, before the dust of that missiles is raised, the dust of the Iranian missiles will be raised in Tel Aviv. This fact is not an empty boast given that time it takes for an Iranian missile to hit the ground in Tel Aviv is 7 minutes of time.”

    He, by saying that 36 military bases of America are in the range of the missile forces of Iran, continued: “The American Fifth Fleet has partially occupied Bahrain, and their furthest base is in the Indian Ocean, but these locations are in the firing plans of the missile forces and in the case of grievous error by the enemy, will be reduced to dust.”

    You so called "Christians" should not conflate Jews with Zionists. You also need to include the writings of Isaiah in your studies. And I hope you're not including the State of Israel in your prayers because it is an evil entity. As evil as the USA.

    “ To [my grandfather] Zionism was counterfeit Judaism and the Zionists charlatans. His Orthodox belief held that the re-establishment of Israel was a matter of God in the messianic future. He would have agreed with Yehoshofat Harkabi, a former chief of Israeli military intelligence, who said "The Jews always considered that the land belonged to them, but in fact it belonged to the Arabs. I would go further: I would say the original source of this conflict lies with Israel."

    I am a Zionist if Zionist means that one gives approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state.

     

    How disingenuous! It's not on the same terms at all. Normal states are formed in an act of self determination by the longstanding landed population, eg. Indonesia, Timor Leste, Bangladesh. The key to their legitimacy is that the population making the declaration has had a long and unchallenged residence upon that land, which equates to de facto ownership. Accordingly, no one else suffers a disservice when they formalise their statehood and gain an internationally recognised monopoly over the use of force within their carefully demarcated patch of the Earth.

    Israel is an entirely different case. It first came into existence in the minds of European Jews living in Europe and it was only later that the demographic foundation was established. It was established by coercion and forced migration, both in to and out of an arbitrary and already populated piece of land. Israel is illegitimate firstly because there was no substantial history of Jewish residence on the claimed land, secondly because the preexistent population was disserviced and remains to this day aggrieved, and thirdly because the borders have never been officially established.

    So by the 'same terms as any other people', the Palestinians would have the absolute right to establish their own state, whereas Israel is illegitimate and the Ashkenazis should go back to wherever they originally came from.

    One wonders why “Jews” or anyone else (except Palestinians) need a state in Palestine when they have all the Zion anyone could ever ask for right here, in the US of A.

    Anyway, the discussion would undoubtedly benefit from a definition of terms. Here’s a reason why.

    People keep asking me if I am a “Zionist”. I answer that I don’t know what “Zionism” means these days.

    Nor like the Librorum Prohibitorum, which the Roman Catholic Church still endorses and enforces through the “moral force of positive ecclesiastical law”; all for following Protestantism and not the canon of Catholic belief.
     
    You seem to be mixed up between several things here.

    See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum .

    Not that I disagree with the substance of your comment though the monopolistic power of entities like Google and to a vastly lesser extent Facebook begins to alarm me.

    Yes, thanks for clarifying what might easily be construed as both being one and the same. My object was to provide instances of censorship; Edict Compiègne the Index Librorum Prohibitorum being two such. Of course the second is more about the restriction of certain intellectual heresies – which I now discover included the Principia! – and lascivious titles, whereas the first was aimed at extirpating Protestantism in France accompanied by the mild persuasion of potential decapitation.

    Certainly of one mind with you when it comes to Google, FB and even Twitter. Start with breaking up Google into baby Googlettes.

    This report from farsi news-reporting:

    http://www.resalat-news.com/fa/?code=251219

    A look at the speech reveals something ominous. What Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Supreme Leader’s representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, actually threatened was that Iran could use its missiles to destroy 36 different U.S. military bases. He singled out the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain specifically and said Iran could flatten it.

     

    This is an accurate translation of that article:


    Member of the National Security and Foreign Affairs Commission of the Majlis said: 36 military bases of America are in the range of the Rocket Forces of Iran.

    As reported by FARS [news agency] from Qom, Hojjatol-Islam Mojtabaii Zuvalnur, at the commemorative ceremony for Basij Mohandis San'ati, declared:

    "It is the leadership of the country that has maintained safety and security, and even now that new threats against the Iranian nation are raised…"

    Having said that "Even by adhering to [international] principles and norms, there is no end to the threats", he added:

    "certain people [in Iran] who are removed from the culture of Ashura, Islamic Revolution, Jihad, and resistance, by looking at the military equipment and technology of the enemy, bring up the subject of surrender. Just as it was at the time of American presence in Afghanistan, with 128 signatures to a letter to the leader, for surrender to the enemy."

    Zolnavar, by pointing out that in the previous year the military budget of America exceeded $650 billion, declared:

    "the budget of Iran is not even 100 Billion! We accept that the enemy is superior in some dimensions, but the conclusion that only superiority in military equipment brings about success, is false."

    He said: "Islamic Republic has adopted and pursues Asymmetric Response, and in the area of missile technology has reached extensive capabilities, so should the enemy ever fire a missile in the direction of Iran, before the dust of that missiles is raised, the dust of the Iranian missiles will be raised in Tel Aviv. This fact is not an empty boast given that time it takes for an Iranian missile to hit the ground in Tel Aviv is 7 minutes of time."

    He, by saying that 36 military bases of America are in the range of the missile forces of Iran, continued: "The American Fifth Fleet has partially occupied Bahrain, and their furthest base is in the Indian Ocean, but these locations are in the firing plans of the missile forces and in the case of grievous error by the enemy, will be reduced to dust."

     

    Ominous? Sounds a bit hyperbolic bordering on hysterical to me.

    In fact, it sounds like he’s “threatening” to defend himself against a threat. Where are those bases and fleets located, again? Yup, ominous for sure.

    This is normative discourse living in the time of Pax America. Try stating on the MSM that Iraqi soldiers had a moral right to fire back at our invading US soldiers (based on the fact that, yeah - Iraq was actually telling the truth) - it was completely unacceptable. You must submit to be invaded and if you dare to claim to defend yourself (and actually be capable of it), well, you just crossed a red line.

    Ever occurred to you that this alleged Cornwallis confession is fake?

    I‘ll concede that it could be, but fake or not, it seems to be a reasonably accurate description of America’s current peril.

    I have been searching in vain for any speeches given by McCarthy in late ’56. Either that material has all been scrubbed, or someone has made up out of whole cloth the entire story of this alleged speech by Joe McCarthy, and Cornwallis’s warning from Legions of Satan by Jonathan Williams, who indeed served under Washington at Yorktown, and who was an author, but no trace of the book.

    Over at David Icke forum, one commenter gave an Amazon link (dead) for Legions of Satan, while others cite sources claiming the book had been removed from the Library of Congress, once was in 50 libraries, but none now, etc…

    https://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=98265

    When I last visited this issue several years ago, I recall finding more on it, but many of the links seem to have gone dead. As it stands, I can’t find much to support the idea that McCarthy even gave such a speech

    Pending further research, I will retract my griping and grumbling about the [more] button, and acknowledge that Unz.com may have reasonable justification to hide the alleged speech.

    Legions of Satan by Jonathan Williams

    No proof that this book ever existed. Perhaps somebody could research how and where was it first mentioned on internet. Imo, it i s safe to assume it is hoax at this point.

    It is easy to make a hoax preying on desire for confirmation bias like when you expressed it by " it seems to be a reasonably accurate description of America’s current peril." The same argument as you as made by the holocaust scholar and propagandists Deborah Lipstadt . When several books about holocaust like one by Benjamin Wilkomirski or by Misha Defonseca were proven to be confabulations and hoaxes Deborah Lipstadt stated that it was not a problem because the books describe reality of Holcaust well and thus could be used for educational (propaganda and indoctrination) purposes.

    It is possible that some easy to expose anti-semitic hoaxes are created on purpose to make allegations that some legitimate records are also a hoax. I am thinking of Protocols of Elders of Zion which are being tried to be dismissed as hoax for last 100 years with a mixed success.

    Yes, in fact, Hillary was less hawkish on Iran. She supported (but was not enthusiastic about) the Iran deal, and in any case she would have had at least some Obama loyalists in her administration pushing her to preserve it. Trump not only apparently personally opposes the deal, but almost the entirety of his administration and party is pushing him to oppose it.

    “Donor anger was one reason for Republicans’ zeal to take on healthcare repeal again. Carl Hulse writes. Page A12” NY Times 9/23/17 Front Page under Money Woes

    It is obvious NY Times car attribute the blame, raise the possibility, and put it out on the front page . It can when it wants indicate how dark money underwrites polices how donor can sabotage or strengthen certain positions and polices.

    So why It cant say same to the dark donor money which has been referred to by
    President Obama
    Ex Sec of NATO ( W. Clarke )
    And by other in relation to the shaping of American polices by Israel to Iran despite misgivings , despite clear danger, despite negative effects on America?

    This shows and there are thousands other littering American history from 1917 which also show the harmful effects of the influences exerted (Zionist) through donor money ,bribes, and pressure . It also shows dereliction of duties on the part of NYT.
    This works well for the Zionists who would claim ” Where did you hear it? Where did you see it ?. I don’t believe Nobody should pay attention to anti Semitic tropes. ” Then add ” America is seeing resurgence of antisemitism”

    This unholy alliance between U.S. neoconservatives and Netanyahu was no accident. They had long been partners. Back in the late 1970’s, Netanyahu convened many of these same thinkers to Israel for a summit at the Jonathan Institute—an event which some have called the birth of the American neoconservative movement. Back then, their focus was hostility to the Soviet Union and the “national liberation movements” alleged to be Soviet pawns. The ideology they spawned was decidedly pro-Israel and anti-Arab, and extremely hostile to all things Palestinian.

    https://972mag.com/netanyahus-israel-is-a-cauldron-waiting-for-the-next-explosion/129815/

    thanks for the quote and the link to James Zogby’s article in 972 Mag.

    Unfortunately, Zogby is radically mistaken in stating that the July, 1979 Jonathan Conference marked “the birth of the neoconservative movement.” Neoconservatism was born in cribs and grew up in Trotskyite playpens set up in the corners of free colleges in New York City in the early post-war years.

    The Jonathan Conference is more appropriately identified as the birth — or the blueprint — of the Global War on Terror.

    Nor was the focus of that conference, its participants, or the movement it kicked off “hostility to the Soviet Union” and its “liberation movements.” The focus was terrorism. Benjamin Netanyahu edited the book that collected the speeches delivered at the conference. https://books.google.com/books/about/International_Terrorism.html?id=s8Pm37gg5JkC
    An opening note to the book states:

    “The Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism was convened by the Jonathan Institute to focus public attention on the real nature of international terrorism, on the threat it poses to all democratic societies, and on the measures necessary for defeating the forces of terror. “

    There were 48 speeches in the seven sessions of the conference; 26 of the speeches used the word “terror” in its title; only one of the speeches mentioned the Soviets: Brian Crozier’s presentation was titled “Soviet Support for International Terrorism.”

    This comment/correction is not just a pedantic quibble with Zogby’s misstatements. The Jonathan Institute, the raid at Entebbe that gave rise to it, and this conference and the memes, vocabulary, frames, personalities and (already well-established) ideologies represented at it, are crucial for understanding the US – Israel relationship and the wars that have been fought as a consequence of that relationship.

    How would that work?
    Would back-up states be established on the basis of ethnicity -- like Germans hoped to do; on basis of religion, like Tibet?
    What if the same ethnic group has differing religious allegiances, like the Irish -- would there be a separate state for Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants?

    How would the British sort themselves into back-up states? Monarchists HERE, former colonials THERE, Immigrants somewhere else?

    Would there be roads to connect the various back-up states? Who would pay for them? Who could use them?

    What system of laws would apply in back-up states?

    Wasn't Robert E Lee, in effect, fighting for the right to have a back-up state?
    Are you saying his effort should have been honored?

    What would happen to people already settled on a territory designated for a back-up state for some different group -- should that native group be required to move out? Where would they go? Do they get a back-up state?

    You seem to agree with my assertion that Israel wasn't established on the same terms as other states so, to return to the original quote, do you still give approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state, even if it is not 'on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state' ?

    It is important to distinguish between American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.
     
    I'll take a shot..

    Geo, nor any other critic of some of the things Israel does, has never condemned (as far as I'm aware) all Jews everywhere.

    nor are the millions of Jewish minions guilty of a crime. Rather it's the support for evil their leaders promote that is the problem. The tacit support, without which, the Palestinian people would not be getting genocided.

    You see iffen, were it not for the tacit support from the world's sanguine Jews for so many evils, (like the serial wars for Israel), perhaps some of these wars and evil might be brought to heal, no?

    Imagine if every Jew in NYC demanded a real investigation into the murderous perpetrators of 9/11?!

    But that won't happen, will it iffen, because just as with the wiz and other Jews here at Unz, ;) there is an obvious kneejerk reflex to obfuscate what happened on 9/11, (the false flag pretext to all these wars for Israel), and rationalize and dissemble, because for the American people to ever really understand what happened on 9/11, would not be 'good for the Jews', you see?

    Did you know that the mantra that most Jews grow up with is that they must always consider in their heart of hearts, at all times, the motivation: 'what is good for the Jews' ?

    So what that does is it creates a meme in their psyches that puts Jewish interests, (however they're perceived) over the interests of the people among whom they live, you see?

    And this can cause problems, when those interests conflict (which at times they must).

    Just consider 9/11, and the fact that the Israeli government knew it was going to happen, but didn't warn Americans in peril of being horrifically slaughtered in fireballs of hell.

    Even Jews died in those flames, and yet Bibi and the government of Israel were happy about it... Bibi even blurting out that 9/11 was "very good", and that it would create sympathy for Israel.

    Now there are and have been some Jews who've pointed out all of this treachery, like the Jewish Army War College Prof. Alan Sabrosky and others, but the problem isn't Jewish individuals, but rather the collective evils that are a consequence of concentrated Jewish power.

    https://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/03/04/opinion/4wed1WEB/4wed1WEB-master1050.jpg

    just look at those sniveling sycophants gushing over that man who not only cheered the deaths of Americans on 9/11, but also knew they were going to be killed and let it happen, because doing so was considered 'good for Israel'.

    It isn't your Jewish dentist who's to blame for this, but the treasonous congress-critters who slavishly worship the Jewish media and financial power to make or break their re-election ambitions, you see?

    So it isn't the average Jew on the street who are the problem, except insofar as they're unwilling to hold the Jewish criminals to account.

    Somehow I'm reminded of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was exalted to the head of the DNC by president Obama, only to return the favor by going to watch her patron be humiliated in his own capital house by Bibi, who mocked the president, and had in attendance a Jewish head of the DNC, who decided to symbolically repudiate the leader of her party, to stand in fealty with the man who mocked the deaths of so many Americans on 9/11, and who came to Washington to demand that more Americans die in contrived wars to benefit Israel.

    whew

    I feel a little off whenever I discuss such iniquity and evil, and point these things out to an insouciant world.

    https://cdn.lrb.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/jersey-cow.png

    For all that you have said —to great length—I do not believe you have distinguished the typical “American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.”

    I assume we will be limiting the leadership in question to geographical limits of the United States. Foreign entities may influence actions but leadership is submitted to be a different element.

    Perhaps AIPAC or rabbi/religious groups may be mentioned, but I would suggest Wall Street bankers as having a dominate influence in the manifestation of social changes in our society. In my opinion, they have induced the United States into every military conflict—either for their economic gain, to destroy imagined religious infidels, or to provide cover for their nefarious acts—for 120 years. Their use of the CIA to assist and initiate the military actions has been documented by Perkins, Blum, Kinzer, Talbot, Valentine, Prouty, and others. Their impoverishment of nations as a deliberate agenda for decades has been documented by Chossudovsky and is prominently visible in Greece.

    They are alleged to surreptitiously receive trillions of dollars from the United States using the Rothschild Ponzi scheme but unfortunately the effort has failed to gain traction.

    I do not believe you have distinguished the typical “American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.”

    I assume we will be limiting the leadership in question to geographical limits of the United States.
     

    that would be a mistake IMHO

    the ultimate leadership of the Jews, so to speak, it the House of Rothschild- the International bankster who basically owns or controls the world's central banks

    add to that the Orthodox Jewish rabbis in the Israeli Knesset, and their ugly poodle- Israel's putative leader Bibi, and you're a lot closer to the 'leadership of the Jews' than anything being done by the Jews who operate (for Rothschild) our Federal Reserve Bank or the minions on Wall Street and Hollywood.

    I fully respect your perspective, but I'd posit that it's really in London, and has been for centuries.

    what was that the Rothschild matriarch said, 'if my sons don't want war, there'd be no war', or something like that.

    anyways, I see your point

    I’m really much too busy with my software work to waste any time on all this nonsense, any more than I would be willing to argue with some kindergarteners who dispute whether the clear sky is really blue. But I got a little curious about the dozen or more MSM stories regarding the controversy, and glancing at a few of them that topped the list at Google News, I noticed something quite telling.

    Offhand I’d say that Valerie Plame is probably about the most famous undercover CIA agent in American history, and during the 2000s her name was regularly on the the front pages. Even this past year, I’ve seen her occasionally mentioned in my morning NYT/WSJ. And we have someone of such reasonable prominence sending out an utterly explosive Tweet with the headline “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars,” then backtracking an hour or two later under massive pressure and apologizing. That certainly seems like a pretty major story.

    Yet the coverage was almost entirely confined to second- or mostly third-rank media outlets, with virtually no significant journalists or foreign policy figures seeming to provide any critical quotes and almost all the shrill attacks I saw coming from people whom I’d never heard of. The only prominent public critics I noticed were Alan Dershowitz and Marc Levin, both especially fanatic Jewish Neocons. And not a single word got into the NYT, the WSJ, or any other top-tier mainstream news outlet.

    The obvious explanation of such remarkable silence is that roughly 100% of all the serious foreign policy experts and journalists know perfectly well that Plame and Giraldi were absolutely correct, and don’t want to have all their friends laughing at them if they publicly claim otherwise. Perhaps they’re also a bit concerned about putting statements on the record that might place them in front of a hangman’s noose a bit down the road.

    Anyway, I need to return to my software and let all of you get back to arguing about whether or not the sky is blue…

    I think the reason why she is so famous and why the establishment is so nervous about this is and her, is pretty obvious. She is extremely easy on the eyes.

    Optics matter.

    The 'dumb blonde' who excelled as a spy

    Ambitious, blonde and beautiful, Plame, then 27, took to the job with alacrity.
    [...]
    As a junior operative, determined to rise through the bureaucracy, Plame would be remembered as unusually diligent and unusually good. So good that even if, privately, she displayed remarkable dexterity with an AK-47 machine gun, publicly she would use charm and good looks if it meant maintaining the interest of a potential recruit.

    The sky is not always perceived as blue, Sir!

    "Blue" is a psycho-physical phenomenon and the perception of it depends on many variables, so the claim is no more cut and dried than the claim in the title of PG's otherwise excellent article. In other words, what seems obvious is probably better described as simplistic.

    Wow, what a nutty explanation of media silence! By this logic, whenever the mainstream media covers something critically (e.g. James Damore's Google memo, Jason Richwine's dissertation, Trump's proposed Muslim ban), the mainstream media view must be right, or else they wouldn't cover it!

    By this reasoning---"anyone who studies this issue knows that the controversial conclusion is true, so the media won't cover it to avoid embarrassment"---one should be free (even as an allegedly notable figure like Plume) to say anything one wishes about the simple facts of the links between race and IQ, because the media would be too afraid of embarrassment to mention the topic!

    I think the rather more obvious explanation of the "silence" is that it isn't remarkable at all---Plume is simply not a very notable figure, and her tweeting of a somewhat controversial article from a relatively fringe outlet is hardly a front-page, stop the presses story. (I strongly suspect that if a genuinely notable figure, say Paul Ryan or Andrew Cuomo, made an entire speech making the same factual claims Mr. Giraldi makes in this article, the mainstream media would indeed cover it.)

    Excellent observation Mr. Unz. It's difficult to bring myself to comment on Phil's excellent articles due to their immediate descent into sub-logical squabbling between antisemitic monomaniacs and the usual Hasbara robots. The threads grow long enough to see Theseus through a Luxembourg sized labyrinth. What's the point commenting on a thread consisting of dolts debating not with the article, but with each other? I hope Phil Geraldi knows that these commenters do not represent the commonality of his readers.

    One wonders why “Jews” or anyone else (except Palestinians) need a state in Palestine

    I see a lot of appeal in having a back-up state. I have envisaged everyone having a back-up state. I am certain that it would reduce anxiety and allow us all to be BFFs.

    I see a lot of appeal in having a back-up state. I have envisaged everyone having a back-up state.

    How would that work?
    Would back-up states be established on the basis of ethnicity — like Germans hoped to do; on basis of religion, like Tibet?
    What if the same ethnic group has differing religious allegiances, like the Irish — would there be a separate state for Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants?

    How would the British sort themselves into back-up states? Monarchists HERE, former colonials THERE, Immigrants somewhere else?

    Would there be roads to connect the various back-up states? Who would pay for them? Who could use them?

    What system of laws would apply in back-up states?

    Wasn’t Robert E Lee, in effect, fighting for the right to have a back-up state?
    Are you saying his effort should have been honored?

    What would happen to people already settled on a territory designated for a back-up state for some different group — should that native group be required to move out? Where would they go? Do they get a back-up state?

    I'll concede that it could be, but fake or not, it seems to be a reasonably accurate description of America's current peril.

    I have been searching in vain for any speeches given by McCarthy in late '56. Either that material has all been scrubbed, or someone has made up out of whole cloth the entire story of this alleged speech by Joe McCarthy, and Cornwallis's warning from Legions of Satan by Jonathan Williams, who indeed served under Washington at Yorktown, and who was an author, but no trace of the book.

    Over at David Icke forum, one commenter gave an Amazon link (dead) for Legions of Satan, while others cite sources claiming the book had been removed from the Library of Congress, once was in 50 libraries, but none now, etc...

    https://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=98265

    When I last visited this issue several years ago, I recall finding more on it, but many of the links seem to have gone dead. As it stands, I can't find much to support the idea that McCarthy even gave such a speech

    Pending further research, I will retract my griping and grumbling about the [more] button, and acknowledge that Unz.com may have reasonable justification to hide the alleged speech.

    Legions of Satan by Jonathan Williams

    No proof that this book ever existed. Perhaps somebody could research how and where was it first mentioned on internet. Imo, it i s safe to assume it is hoax at this point.

    It is easy to make a hoax preying on desire for confirmation bias like when you expressed it by ” it seems to be a reasonably accurate description of America’s current peril.” The same argument as you as made by the holocaust scholar and propagandists Deborah Lipstadt . When several books about holocaust like one by Benjamin Wilkomirski or by Misha Defonseca were proven to be confabulations and hoaxes Deborah Lipstadt stated that it was not a problem because the books describe reality of Holcaust well and thus could be used for educational (propaganda and indoctrination) purposes.

    It is possible that some easy to expose anti-semitic hoaxes are created on purpose to make allegations that some legitimate records are also a hoax. I am thinking of Protocols of Elders of Zion which are being tried to be dismissed as hoax for last 100 years with a mixed success.

    “How was Hitler wrong about Anything?”
     
    I love that, right back to Hitler. I point to the avarice and desire of present day American Jews to undermine the society through their media and YOU trot out Hitler. Said American Jews advocate behaviors in our young through academia and media that they would never desire for their own. Modern-Day Israel has walls and gun towers keeping out the Arabs (not that I blame them), yet Jewish media in this country advocates free-borders. Their hypocrisy is breathtaking. Yet, you drag out Hitler. As for the United States, they could write a book about the Family Krupp-Stein (Lockeed, Boeing, all the rest) and the wars they drive. Do a who's who of the biggest stockholders and boards and corporate members. Please.

    My clan is substantially smaller for WW2, my Pop and all his brothers had 6 or more kids and so the 6 or 8 that he knew of that got killed in Europe didn't get to beget more Christian kiddies for themselves. And they got croaked in some measure, on behalf of Jews. So spare me Hitler in all this. As for me, I danced on the flight decks of a couple of carriers in an A6 squadron, mostly in the eastern Mediterranean in direct support of Israel and Carter's gunboat diplomacy and while I was at it wandered all over that God-Forsaken rock-turned-oasis. With all this, MY conscience is QUITE clean. We're not talking Hitler, we're pointing out excesses and undermining of the society that came to save "what was left of the Jews" from Hitler 75 years back. If Hitler was doing all that killing, it sure was a good thing we came to help! Ignored by Jews of today, but there WAS sacrifice on their behalf. Instead, WE get credit for Hitler.

    Pointing out Jewish-owned media's push for degraded behavior and social norms while they demand the opposite for their own isn't Hitler, it's a demand for accountability, but that flew long ago. Protest, it's "Hitler!". Hilarious meme, that.

    “Pointing out Jewish-owned media’s push for degraded behavior and social norms while they demand the opposite for their own isn’t Hitler, it’s a demand for accountability…”

    Speaking of weasel speakers, you first show me where I explicitly stated you used the term “self-hating Jew”?

    Now, what I’ve been implying in a few of my comments is based on the principle of something called “logical inference.”

    I have been attacked by yourself and your Most Beloved Zionist Brethren on repeated occasions for merely pointing out the nefarious deeds of The Lobby. Not once in my over 2,000 comments have I even remotely incited hatred towards Jews. Yet, your MBZB took the liberty of accusing me of being, and I quote, “a Jew hater,” while you yourself chose to go with the somewhat less offensive terms of “pellet dropper” or “modern day Nazi.”

    So, here’s the “logical inference” part, pay attention.

    If you or your MBZB are prepared to label me a “Jew hater” for shining a light on the machinations of The Lobby, doesn’t it stand to reason you would do the same to someone who is Jewish, if they did the same thing. And since it is awkward to call a Jew a “Jew hater,” wouldn’t it be more likely to call them a “self-hating Jew”?

    Even a blurry-eyed weasel should be able to see the difference, no?

    Oh, but did Z guarantee the privacy of participants on Facebook?
    If he's "turning over" some advertisers, allegedly identified as linked to Russians, that means he can identify and segregate FB participants, and is willing -- even eager -- to reveal their identities, if conditions suit Zuckerberg's interests.

    How secure does that make you feel, Peter AUS?

    Walt and Mearsheimer's playing field totally changed after their landmark book, The Israel Lobby came out but where some opportunities close, others will open :


    After article was rejected and publishers yawned, Walt and Mearsheimer dropped ‘The Israel Lobby’ in 2005
    http://mondoweiss.net/2017/09/powerful-mearsheimer-publishing/

    Publication ruined both men’s chances to serve in government or in university administration. Mearsheimer:
    I had no interest whatsoever in a government position. But I did think that when we wrote the piece, that it would mean that we would never get a high level government position. Even medium level government position. It would also make it almost impossible for us to get any meaningful administrative job in the academic world.
    Mearsheimer was then 59 years old and in Chicago. But Steve Walt was a sprightly 50 and on I-95, on the Harvard springboard to presidential elbows. The book forever changed his horizon:
    I was academic dean in the Kennedy School. I think it’s fair to say that both universities did stand by us in the sense that they didn’t put any formal censure on us. There were various ways of what you might call informal marginalization at least for a while, because the leaderships in both universities were very nervous about the fallout. Universities don’t really like controversy very much.
    I did understand that this was probably going to eliminate any possibility of government service in my case, which is  something I do regret, because it’s something I would have appreciated, had that opportunity presented itself at some point down the road.
    Walt went on to say that they had to do it. “If we weren’t willing to do that, then hardly anybody else would be. We couldn’t lose our jobs. We didn’t necessarily need government employment to pay the mortgage.”
    The two men actually gave up on the article and book years before it was published because doors kept closing. Here is some of the history.
    Mearsheimer spoke about the idea first at the American Political Science Association meetings in Boston in 2002; and a friend said the Atlantic wanted to commission an article on that very subject. The Atlantic magazine assigned Walt and Mearsheimer in 2002. Then it got cold feet and killed the piece in early 2005. At that time, Walt said, the two scholars thought that no other outlet in the United States would publish it, but they could flesh it out as a “short book,” so they consulted a “number” of publishers and a couple of literary agents.
    We got what you would call polite interest but nothing you could call enthusiasm. At one point we basically decided to drop the project entirely.
    Jesus H. Christ.
    After that, though, an editor who had a copy of the piece showed it to a scholar at UCLA who reached out to Mearsheimer and said the London Review of Books might be interested. The LRB version was eventually published in March 2006, and “provoked an immediate firestorm,” Walt said.
    Ironically once it provoked that firestorm, suddenly publishers and literary agents recognized that there was a product people were interested in and suddenly they were contacting us and offering us book contracts.
    Mearshimer said it was the internet that published that piece as much as the LRB:
    The internet was indispensable for making this article available to people all over the world. If this had been published in the London Review of Books in 1985 or 1990 when there was no internet, hardly anybody would have taken notice. But in the age of the internet, this article just ricocheted all over the world very, very quickly.
    Rashid Khalidi at Columbia University told me that the morning after the piece had hit the internet, 14 different people had sent him a link for the piece. It was such a big bombshell.
    Now here is the sad conclusion. Mearsheimer:
    I don’t think we– or anyone else– has  had much influence on policy. I think the lobby is still as powerful as ever. It’s now more out in the open, and that’s not necessarily a good thing for a lobby, but it’s still remarkably effective. This is why you saw all those Republicans falling all over themselves in the 2016 Republican primaries to say how devoted they were to Israel, because they understand that you don’t want to cross the lobby.
    Or to put that another way: This interview was not on 60 Minutes, MSNBC, or the New York Times!

    In fact, it sounds like he's "threatening" to defend himself against a threat. Where are those bases and fleets located, again? Yup, ominous for sure.

    This is normative discourse living in the time of Pax America. Try stating on the MSM that Iraqi soldiers had a moral right to fire back at our invading US soldiers (based on the fact that, yeah – Iraq was actually telling the truth) – it was completely unacceptable. You must submit to be invaded and if you dare to claim to defend yourself (and actually be capable of it), well, you just crossed a red line.

    Hey Talha,

    not just a right, but a duty and obligation to protect their families and nation from an illegal and aggressive invasion based on lies.

    But there is a reason we call it the ZUSA, and that because we're also supposed to consider ourselves as 'exceptional, just like the Zionist Jews do, as they murder and steal other people's land.

    and to point out that it's wrong to murder people and steal their land, is now considered 'anti-Semitic, and heresy, and you can be fired from your job at the kosher TAC.

    it's really amazing, and like Mr. Unz points out, we're all supposed to look at the sky and remark at how pretty the color green is, and how blue are all the trees, and how Iraqis have no right to defend their nation from criminal and unjustified attack.

    Peace

    At last someone tells it like it is. It ought to be that high government appointments rule out anyone carrying dual citizenship. That makes sense, doesn’t it? Instead, Israel controls American Middle East policy completely. The smug pic of Kristol says it all. “We’re in control and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

    Like Sharon said something to the effect that the Jewish people control America and Americans know it!

    @Ron Unz
    Well, given the media firestorm and gigantic traffic surrounding Phil's column, I decided I might as well actually read the piece myself (though certainly not the 75,000 words of comments!), something I only rarely find time to do with the material published on my small webzine. Just as I'd assumed from the title, the article was entirely accurate and correct.

    Indeed, absolutely everyone with the slightest knowledge of American foreign policy knows perfectly well that Jewish groups and activists have been almost totally responsible for all our recent---and prospective!---Middle East wars, which have (unsurprisingly) always targeted Israel's various regional enemies.

    Normally, I might be tempted to describe those who deny this simple reality as "ignorant half-wits," but in this particular situation such a characterization is far too mild. Instead, I'd go so far as to say that anyone who disputes the basic truth has clearly unmasked himself as an obvious mental-defective or a blatant liar, much more likely the latter. Thus, incidents such as this are sometimes a useful metric for evaluating the nature of journalists and public pundits.

    Supposedly in Victorian England it was considered horrifically improper to mention that women actually had "legs." This produced some rather bizarre circumlocutions, whether in written or spoken form, but nonetheless I'd still think that most Victorians quietly recognized that women possessed some bodily part connecting their torsos with their feet. Consider also the old fable of The Emperor's New Clothes.

    But the most amusing tableau that comes to my mind is the public stoning scene from Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN. Although religious edict prohibited women from participating, every eager stoner was actually a woman wearing an obviously fake beard, purchased from the fake-beard vendor just outside the arena. As the suspicious official asks "Are any of you women?" all reply "No!" in their fake-masculine voices. Similarly, Bill Kristol and the 117 other Jewish Neocon pundits and mega-donors all fanatically pushing for an Iran War together cry out "No Jews here!" at the top of their lungs...

    Ron,

    What you did is known as a “drive-by”. Drop a set of comments and then disappear to your more *important works*. But I am sure you are reading some of the comments, particularly those tagging your own. Therefore, in the interests of brevity, I’ll frame my post as a set of separate but related points [accompanied by brief observations]:

    1. You have an interesting and arguably valuable Webzine. It is also arguably the venue for a class of lunatics and potentially dangerous individuals because you allow completely unfiltered entry, which also very conveniently leaves you with the plausible argument, which you customarily avail of, that you are unaware of what gets written both above and below the commentary sections. It is a clever ploy, but nevertheless leaves open the question as to whether you as the Editor-in-chief and obviously someone with an interest in influencing the court of public opinion, are acting as amicus curiae or animus nocendi? More on this later.

    2. I happen to strongly support free speech and have written about it often. When free speech devolves into high levels of acrimony as they do here, and the logical conclusions of which might easily end with ordinary Jews getting physically hurt, do you at all spare a few minutes of your precious day worrying about it? You might dismiss this as so much “victim talk” – many here claim that to be a Jewish obsession [I never whine, but ironically many of my interlocutors who make those charges here, do, and simply, I am not a bit worried about being able to take care of myself], but I am worried about those easily identified older ordinary Jewish persons who might find themselves at the receiving end of the anger of some lunatic which frequents this board. Yes, do a search and you will find plenty of instances where Jews are targeted on the UR. Living in CA, you might not appreciate it, but NY is a different story.

    3. Some of your contributors and certainly many of the regular commentators wallow in Holocaust denial. What are your views on that subject? My own is that many millions died in WWII and it isn’t especially important in context to distinguish, that 6 million Jews or 55 million humans perished in that blighted episode of our history. While Holocaust museums commemorate Jews who died, they also contain the story of many others who died. It is repugnant sarcasm to remark “maybe another Holocaust memorial might be built” etc. etc. when the key should be to internalise the reminder, and to guard against a repetition.

    4. The intersection of the set that (a) denies the Holocaust, (b) calls Hitler the saviour incarnate of the German people, (c) all Jews the planners of WWII, (d) Jews the conspirators of 9/11 is also the union of those subsets. You know very well this is the case. If I exaggerate, it is not an extreme exaggeration. What are your views on this matter? Do you belong to this superset?

    5. Iran, recent U.S. wars, and Israel. You wrote clearly that 117 Jews are behind the recent wars and each was waged for the benefit of Israel. Here are my thoughts. It shouldn’t be especially remarkable beyond the proportionality aspect, that Jews were key influencers behind GWB’s wars, which also had more than a few non-Jewish hands endorsing the same faulty casus belli: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Clinton, Robert Gates, John Ashcroft, Mukasey, George Tenet, Gordon England, Stephen Hadley, Meghan O’Sullivan, Douglas Lute, Negroponte, John Bolton, Karl Rove, to name a few.

    The Israeli leadership, most prominently Netanyahu, found himself with yet another opportunity to jump on the bandwagon. He did jump, very unwisely despite the objections of the generals of the IDF, who actually have the task of prosecuting wars. The situation is vastly different now. There is not a whit of a chance Netanyahu can do anything to push a war against Iran. The generals will not have it. Thus his incessant melodrama, mainly to please his Black-hat coalition. The man is a power fiend.

    The point is Ron, the 117 Jews did what all men in power have always done. Power has a way of corrupting men. The history of these United States, as are the histories of all other powers, great and small, replete with the very same behaviour. It is also the case that citizens of the winners in wars get to benefit far more than the losers. Obviously. Lives get lost. A tragedy, but more the blighted tradition of Mankind. Old men foment wars and young men die. Apparently, our system of majoritarianism hasn’t been able to buck that tradition of a thousand years, Jews or no Jews! Yet what can be said about the U.S. without blushing, is that of all nations, she has re-built many a continent after war ravaged them.

    Users of weasel language demand that others be very precise with the words that they use, yet hold themselves exempt from doing so.

    I am a Zionist to the extent that, in political terms, I give retroactive approval to the establishment of the Mandate and the subsequent establishment of the State of Israel by the Jews in Palestine.

    In an earlier life I was an Evangelical Christian and believed in a Biblical justification for the existence of Israel. Most of the people that I care about are Evangelical Christians and within the context of American electoral politics I believe that they are entitled to have their preferences, including their preferences with regard to Israel, considered and I support them in their exercise of political influence.
    I consider Zionism a form of nationalism.

    I am a Zionist if Zionist means that one gives approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state.

    I am a Zionist if Zionist means that one gives approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state.

    Are you capable of switching gears – of changing your opinion? In the fullness of time, what was created by Zionism turned out to be very ugly.

    Zionism is a racist fascist ideology – why does it have a right to a slice of our earth? Could not some other Jewish ideology establish Israel?

    It is 100% for sure that Zionism has been a negative force in this world. Zionism continues to do bad things.

    Why are you still a Zionist?

    I'm really much too busy with my software work to waste any time on all this nonsense, any more than I would be willing to argue with some kindergarteners who dispute whether the clear sky is really blue. But I got a little curious about the dozen or more MSM stories regarding the controversy, and glancing at a few of them that topped the list at Google News, I noticed something quite telling.

    Offhand I'd say that Valerie Plame is probably about the most famous undercover CIA agent in American history, and during the 2000s her name was regularly on the the front pages. Even this past year, I've seen her occasionally mentioned in my morning NYT/WSJ. And we have someone of such reasonable prominence sending out an utterly explosive Tweet with the headline "America's Jews Are Driving America's Wars," then backtracking an hour or two later under massive pressure and apologizing. That certainly seems like a pretty major story.

    Yet the coverage was almost entirely confined to second- or mostly third-rank media outlets, with virtually no significant journalists or foreign policy figures seeming to provide any critical quotes and almost all the shrill attacks I saw coming from people whom I'd never heard of. The only prominent public critics I noticed were Alan Dershowitz and Marc Levin, both especially fanatic Jewish Neocons. And not a single word got into the NYT, the WSJ, or any other top-tier mainstream news outlet.

    The obvious explanation of such remarkable silence is that roughly 100% of all the serious foreign policy experts and journalists know perfectly well that Plame and Giraldi were absolutely correct, and don't want to have all their friends laughing at them if they publicly claim otherwise. Perhaps they're also a bit concerned about putting statements on the record that might place them in front of a hangman's noose a bit down the road.

    Anyway, I need to return to my software and let all of you get back to arguing about whether or not the sky is blue...

    I have not read the comments, so I don’t know if this was brought up already…

    Offhand I’d say that Valerie Plame is probably about the most famous undercover CIA agent in American history, and during the 2000s her name was regularly on the the front pages.

    I think the reason why she is so famous and why the establishment is so nervous about this is and her, is pretty obvious. She is extremely easy on the eyes.

    Optics matter.

    The ‘dumb blonde’ who excelled as a spy

    Ambitious, blonde and beautiful, Plame, then 27, took to the job with alacrity.
    [...]
    As a junior operative, determined to rise through the bureaucracy, Plame would be remembered as unusually diligent and unusually good. So good that even if, privately, she displayed remarkable dexterity with an AK-47 machine gun, publicly she would use charm and good looks if it meant maintaining the interest of a potential recruit.

    Why The Best Spies in Mossad And The CIA Are Women

    Last week, in a stunning departure from protocol, the head of Mossad – Israel’s national intelligence agency - singled out his female field agents for praise. “Women have a distinct advantage in secret warfare because of their ability to multitask,” Tamir Pardo said to Israel’s Lady Globes. He also added that women are “better at playing a role" and superior to men when it comes to "suppressing their ego in order to attain the goal.

    "Women are gifted at deciphering situations. Contrary to stereotypes, you see that women's abilities are superior to men in terms of understanding the territory, reading situations, spatial awareness. When they're good, they're very good."
    [...]
    A young Israeli Brit, Simon Cohen tells me: "When I was serving [for Israel], I noticed that most of the instructors were female. After asking why, I was told there is a better response from the lads as we apparently learn better...”
    [...]
    She tells me that that one of the CIA’s best-kept secrets is that their most talented spies are women. “The women in my training class and those with whom I later served were always the top recruiters of foreign agents – which is the bread and butter of the secret service.”

    I noticed how elegantly and skillfully Ms. Plame handled this controversy, like a true pro, with no ego, etc.

    Apologies all. There is so much there that’s problematic AF and I should have recognized it sooner. Thank you for pushing me to look again.

    I’m not perfect and make mistakes. This was a doozy. All I can do is admit them, try to be better, and read more thoroughly next time. Ugh.

    The American Conservative should be ashamed of such “purge” because in reverse they have memorialized your Chosen Option to freely convey unwanted facts.

    Ideally Pat Buchanan will nobly address the critical matter.

    Lastly, I hesitate to fully accept that Valerie Plame is NOT an actress starring in CIA / Mossad black psy-ops. For me, the Zio sky is not so “blue.”

    for a people to be used so ignobly as the Americans (and others) have been and are being- to mass-murder innocents and rain down horrors upon the people of this planet is an enormity of staggering consequence, and for which there will be a heavy price to pay. Which no doubt will be born by more innocents who had nothing to do with any of these devil's wars.

    we need to point the finger at the malignant scum who're foisting these wars; Jews and Gentiles alike. But the pall over any discussion of Jewish involvement per se, needs to end.

    Kristol, Kagan, Krauthammer, and all the other sinister little shills for death and rapine must be made to answer for their crimes. And their Shabbos goys in congress too.

    A cursory check reveals that poster S.S. used the word “ominous”.

    I read the article as intended for internal consumption. Like the CP of China, the IR of Iran can not afford damage to its perceived prestige by the subject nation.

    Iran has already capitulated by being the subject of “additional” protocols no other nation has to suffer under IAEA, the intrusions of JCPOA, enduring a “black market” economic regime, entering into one sided deals, and soon, becoming a protectrate of Russia.

    Right now, the US mafia is signalling to IR mafia that they require even more sweetheart deals. EU mafia plays along and Russian mafia has declared it will “defend the document”. LOL.

    I had never heard of Philip Giraldi before coming across a link to his latest tirade against Jewish folk, while reading the Times of Israel this past week. My gosh, if his article was written in German, I would have believed that it came from Der Stuermer in 1934 Germany.

    Having grown up in the mixed French- Anglo Saxon culture of Montreal Canada in the 1960's (before the era of the neocons), I was exposed to similar Zionist conspiracy theories espoused by so-called friends, colleagues and teachers. The specific themes may have been different, but the focus was always the same .... Jews control this and that, they caused all our wars, etc. etc. I could never dissect the source of this invective, which I found even in folks who, previous to myself, had never met a Jew in their life. G-d forbid, these were all armchair warriors, none of whom had put their lives at risk for their country.

    A brief read of Mr Giraldi's previous articles clearly exposes this 'eminent' historian's ingenuous manipulation, distortion and omission of historical facts regarding Jews in general and Zionism is particular.

    Yes, Jewish Americans are prominent neocons. They also excel as researchers in physics and biology, as engineers, entertainers, movie moguls, financiers, software programmers, writers, benefactors of universities, hospitals and the poor, .... you name it, far out of proportion to their representation in the general population. As for controlling the media, just read the New York Times or watch CNN ... 'friends of Israel???

    In WW II, 550,000 Jewish men and women served in the American armed forces. At that time, Jewish Americans comprised 4.3% of the total armed forces, while representing 3.3% of the total population. Jewish fighters included 2,000 young men, refugees from Germany before 1939, who were attached to the spearhead of each America fighting unit, from Normandy to the final defeat of Germany. 11,000 Jewish Americans gave their lives for the USA defending democracy.

    Today, young Israeli soldiers spend three years of their lives, immediately after high school, on the front line of defense of democratic values and freedom for the western world. These young people are not armchair warriors. They hold political views from the left to the right of the political spectrum. Since 1948, nearly 10,000 Israeli soldiers sacrificed their lives to defend their country, equivalent to some 500,000 American lives. The number of civilians killed in terrorist attacks is in the thousands.

    As for Israel-Palestine-Iran, we are witnessing today in North Korea the danger of nuclear weapons in a rogue state threatening to destroy America. Why, Iran espouses this venomous invective against Israel on a daily basis. Does Israel not have the right to defend its interests as does America?

    Palestine already exists. For the attention of Mr Giraldi, it is called Jordan and comprises 74% of the British Mandate, a country gifted as the booby prize to an Arab sheikh in 1922.

    Arguably, Israel has done more for American security in the past decade than all of America's other allies together. The $3B in military aid granted to Israel is used to procure armaments in the USA, while the joint development of anti-missile technology, active armor, drone development and cyber counter-terrorism technologies, have and will save lives and grant to both Americans and Israelis the ability to plan near and long-term defense strategies for mutual benefit. The cost of these programs pales in comparison to the hundreds of billions of dollars spent from America's annual defense budget to station forces in South Korea, Japan, and Europe.

    Israeli technology, in the fields of science, medicine, biology, communication, and even autonomous cars, has contributed enormously to the American economy, adding thousands of jobs, high salaries and enormous initiative for future development and well-being.

    As for TV screens, I would sincerely suggest that every time Mr Giraldi gives an interview the following label should pop up: “Warning: the commentator is a rabid hater of Jews and Israel".

    Finally, and certainly not the least important part of my message ...... it is not the rich, powerful Jewish lobby paying Mr Giraldi's bills. I suspect that funding comes from off-shore sources, all with a nefarious goal in mind and not necessarily serving America's best interests. In whose pockets is he, this man?

    Excuse me, Mr Giraldi, for my conspiracy theory!

    Arguably, Israel has done more for American security in the past decade than all of America’s other allies together.

    This whole comment is a lie a sentence – but the above is truly galling.

    Thousands of US solders dead, hundreds of thousands maimed for life, trillions in treasure – and we are supposed to be grateful to the Jews.

    It is no wonder that Jews are hated.

    (Hate the sin – not the sinner.)

    Ominous? Sounds a bit hyperbolic bordering on hysterical to me.

    In fact, it sounds like he’s “threatening” to defend himself against a threat. Where are those bases and fleets located, again? Yup, ominous for sure.

    A cursory check reveals that poster Sam the Sham used the word “ominous”. Kinda blew his rational hardnosed realist cover.

    That’s unfortunate, Phil, for American Conservative.

    “Lies are what the world lives on, and those who seek the truth, and live their lives in accord, are not the many but the few.” – Joseph Campbell, Myths to Live By

    otoh, now you’ll have more time to dedicate to Council for the National Interest (CNI)

    http://www.councilforthenationalinterest.org/new/

    (not to be confused with Center for the National Interest, cftni )

    CNI was founded by Congressman Paul Findley and Congressman Paul “Pete” McCloskey.

    CNI’s Mission:

    CNI seeks to encourage and promote a U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East that is consistent with American values, protects our national interests, and contributes to a just solution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It is CNI’s goal to restore a political environment in America in which voters and their elected officials are free from the undue influence and pressure of foreign countries and their partisans.

    In the last few days several people who had participated on Flynt and Hillary Leverett’s blog, http://goingtotehran.com (formerly RaceforIran) asked about the Leveretts and expressed the wish that they could return to this rambunctious marketplace of ideas. goingtotehran.com has been inactive for several years.

    The Leveretts’ postings were of the very highest calibre — Flynt heads a department of international affairs at Penn State, and Hillary has taught at Yale and American Universities. Both were members of George Bush’s national security team.

    Ron, Phil, others — what would it take, or how would one go about enticing the Leveretts to contribute to Unz.com, or to re-activate their blog?

    SolontoCroesus,

    Whether one either believes or disbelieves, FEAR is an ancient, powerful motivator and demotivator.

    A well known example is when Jewish-born Jesus died and was taken down the cross. Recognized as a Follower of The Way, a central disciple, Peter, tried his best to deny what he witnessed and learned.

    Let me look at the good case you have made for "enticing" the Leveretts to either "contribute to U.R. or reactivate their blog."

    # 1, I don't know why they have deactivated their blog.

    # 2, I do not know what was either lost or gained by doing # 1.

    # 3, FEAR of Zionist "push back" is powerful thing and I trust the Leveretts are unafraid to express & share what they know at the U.R.

    I do sense why powerful Jews shut down The Daily Stormer web site. They prefer web sites who keep up the minimal standards of endarkenment and monitor the rest.

    Oddly, they continue to allow into "light of day," ex-airline stewardess, Rebekka Roth's gripping web page and You Tube videos. Hmm.

    The enticement for the Leverret couple to intensify the proliferation of what they know can indeed happen by the encouragement and EXAMPLE of other bright, fearless, and respectably noble writers.

    In the end though, the strongest enticement comes from within people who are albeit born with a passion to expose deceit.

    Appears to me, for one final & grossly under publicized example, that Mary Pinchot Meyer, the late ex-wife of CIA Cord Meyer, Jr. had that exceptional "truth telling" instinct within her and was murdered.

    "Fear is a powerful thing." Full disclosure, S2C, the "glitterati" rocker & loyal Hillary Clinton disciple, Bruce Springsteen, once said that in a song. Thank you!

    I have not read the comments, so I don't know if this was brought up already...

    Offhand I’d say that Valerie Plame is probably about the most famous undercover CIA agent in American history, and during the 2000s her name was regularly on the the front pages.
     
    I think the reason why she is so famous and why the establishment is so nervous about this is and her, is pretty obvious. She is extremely easy on the eyes.

    Optics matter.

    The 'dumb blonde' who excelled as a spy

    Ambitious, blonde and beautiful, Plame, then 27, took to the job with alacrity.
    [...]
    As a junior operative, determined to rise through the bureaucracy, Plame would be remembered as unusually diligent and unusually good. So good that even if, privately, she displayed remarkable dexterity with an AK-47 machine gun, publicly she would use charm and good looks if it meant maintaining the interest of a potential recruit.
     
    - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/oct/30/usa.helenasmith

    Typo, one *is* too many: … why the establishment is so nervous about this and her …

    Why The Best Spies in Mossad And The CIA Are Women

    Last week, in a stunning departure from protocol, the head of Mossad – Israel’s national intelligence agency – singled out his female field agents for praise. “Women have a distinct advantage in secret warfare because of their ability to multitask,” Tamir Pardo said to Israel’s Lady Globes. He also added that women are “better at playing a role” and superior to men when it comes to “suppressing their ego in order to attain the goal.

    “Women are gifted at deciphering situations. Contrary to stereotypes, you see that women’s abilities are superior to men in terms of understanding the territory, reading situations, spatial awareness. When they’re good, they’re very good.
    [...]
    A young Israeli Brit, Simon Cohen tells me: “When I was serving [for Israel], I noticed that most of the instructors were female. After asking why, I was told there is a better response from the lads as we apparently learn better…”
    [...]
    She tells me that that one of the CIA’s best-kept secrets is that their most talented spies are women. “The women in my training class and those with whom I later served were always the top recruiters of foreign agents – which is the bread and butter of the secret service.”

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/crossingborders/2012/09/30/why-the-best-spies-in-mossad-and-the-cia-are-women/#61bb04222bb0

    I noticed how elegantly and skillfully Ms. Plame handled this controversy, like a true pro, with no ego, etc.

    Apologies all. There is so much there that’s problematic AF and I should have recognized it sooner. Thank you for pushing me to look again.

    I’m not perfect and make mistakes. This was a doozy. All I can do is admit them, try to be better, and read more thoroughly next time. Ugh.

    Well, given the media firestorm and gigantic traffic surrounding Phil's column, I decided I might as well actually read the piece myself (though certainly not the 75,000 words of comments!), something I only rarely find time to do with the material published on my small webzine. Just as I'd assumed from the title, the article was entirely accurate and correct.

    Indeed, absolutely everyone with the slightest knowledge of American foreign policy knows perfectly well that Jewish groups and activists have been almost totally responsible for all our recent---and prospective!---Middle East wars, which have (unsurprisingly) always targeted Israel's various regional enemies.

    Normally, I might be tempted to describe those who deny this simple reality as "ignorant half-wits," but in this particular situation such a characterization is far too mild. Instead, I'd go so far as to say that anyone who disputes the basic truth has clearly unmasked himself as an obvious mental-defective or a blatant liar, much more likely the latter. Thus, incidents such as this are sometimes a useful metric for evaluating the nature of journalists and public pundits.

    Supposedly in Victorian England it was considered horrifically improper to mention that women actually had "legs." This produced some rather bizarre circumlocutions, whether in written or spoken form, but nonetheless I'd still think that most Victorians quietly recognized that women possessed some bodily part connecting their torsos with their feet. Consider also the old fable of The Emperor's New Clothes.

    But the most amusing tableau that comes to my mind is the public stoning scene from Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN. Although religious edict prohibited women from participating, every eager stoner was actually a woman wearing an obviously fake beard, purchased from the fake-beard vendor just outside the arena. As the suspicious official asks "Are any of you women?" all reply "No!" in their fake-masculine voices. Similarly, Bill Kristol and the 117 other Jewish Neocon pundits and mega-donors all fanatically pushing for an Iran War together cry out "No Jews here!" at the top of their lungs...

    But Ron, you are obviously just a “self-hating Jew” whose opinions are thereby invalidated. Why you’re nearly as deplorable as I am. You’re just another David Cole type!

    For both yourself and Mr Giraldi however, I have one question: Of the non-Jew Israel Firsters, how many are Evangelicals, or rely on the Military Industrial Complex for livelihood, or military officers who make ridiculous sums when deployed to “war” zones? Aren’t they ALL self-dealing traitors???

    Among the most ardent of Israel’s supporters are senior pastors of Protestant churches. Most (80 percent) agree “Christians should support Israel.”

    Even though they support Israel, some pastors have their doubts about Israel’s military actions. About 4 in 10 (41 percent) agree with the statement, “It is hard to defend Israel’s military tactics.” Fifty percent disagree, while 9 percent are not sure.

    Hey weasel speaker, care to show me where I have used the term “self-hating Jew”?
     
    Speaking of weasel speakers, you first show me where I explicitly stated you used the term "self-hating Jew"?

    Now, what I've been implying in a few of my comments is based on the principle of something called "logical inference."

    I have been attacked by yourself and your Most Beloved Zionist Brethren on repeated occasions for merely pointing out the nefarious deeds of The Lobby. Not once in my over 2,000 comments have I even remotely incited hatred towards Jews. Yet, your MBZB took the liberty of accusing me of being, and I quote, "a Jew hater," while you yourself chose to go with the somewhat less offensive terms of "pellet dropper" or "modern day Nazi."

    So, here's the "logical inference" part, pay attention.

    If you or your MBZB are prepared to label me a "Jew hater" for shining a light on the machinations of The Lobby, doesn't it stand to reason you would do the same to someone who is Jewish, if they did the same thing. And since it is awkward to call a Jew a "Jew hater," wouldn't it be more likely to call them a "self-hating Jew"?

    Even a blurry-eyed weasel should be able to see the difference, no?

    Now, what I’ve been implying in a few of my comments is based on the principle of something called “logical inference.”

    why did the London financiers want the king to invade Normandy?

    Ginsberg indicates King John had been induced to believe Normandy was by some hereditary theory British property and should be reclaimed. The financier’s motivation, I would suspect, was that they would be able to “lend” credit, at interest, to King John. If they had developed the Rothschild/Federal Reserve scheme at that time, the principal of the “loan” would have been their profit when they sold the king’s promise to pay the bankers (the ‘loan’ collateral; i.e., Treasury security) for their creating a book-entry credit to pay the king’s suppliers.

    Anything said that is negative about Jews is anti-Semitic.

    This is incorrect.

    The idea that merely criticizing actions or behavior by Jews or Israeli policies is anti-Semitic is a propaganda meme spread by anti-Semites.

    Here is list of what International Jewry (ADL) considers antisemitic:

    Jews are more loyal to Israel than to [this country/to the countries they live in]
    Jews have too much power in the business world
    Jews have too much power in international financial markets
    Jews still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust
    Jews don’t care what happens to anyone but their own kind
    Jews have too much control over global affairs
    Jews have too much control over the United States government
    Jews think they are better than other people
    Jews have too much control over the global media
    Jews are responsible for most of the world’s wars
    People hate Jews because of the way Jews behave

    Ron,

    What you did is known as a "drive-by". Drop a set of comments and then disappear to your more *important works*. But I am sure you are reading some of the comments, particularly those tagging your own. Therefore, in the interests of brevity, I'll frame my post as a set of separate but related points [accompanied by brief observations]:

    1. You have an interesting and arguably valuable Webzine. It is also arguably the venue for a class of lunatics and potentially dangerous individuals because you allow completely unfiltered entry, which also very conveniently leaves you with the plausible argument, which you customarily avail of, that you are unaware of what gets written both above and below the commentary sections. It is a clever ploy, but nevertheless leaves open the question as to whether you as the Editor-in-chief and obviously someone with an interest in influencing the court of public opinion, are acting as amicus curiae or animus nocendi? More on this later.

    2. I happen to strongly support free speech and have written about it often. When free speech devolves into high levels of acrimony as they do here, and the logical conclusions of which might easily end with ordinary Jews getting physically hurt, do you at all spare a few minutes of your precious day worrying about it? You might dismiss this as so much "victim talk" - many here claim that to be a Jewish obsession [I never whine, but ironically many of my interlocutors who make those charges here, do, and simply, I am not a bit worried about being able to take care of myself], but I am worried about those easily identified older ordinary Jewish persons who might find themselves at the receiving end of the anger of some lunatic which frequents this board. Yes, do a search and you will find plenty of instances where Jews are targeted on the UR. Living in CA, you might not appreciate it, but NY is a different story.

    3. Some of your contributors and certainly many of the regular commentators wallow in Holocaust denial. What are your views on that subject? My own is that many millions died in WWII and it isn't especially important in context to distinguish, that 6 million Jews or 55 million humans perished in that blighted episode of our history. While Holocaust museums commemorate Jews who died, they also contain the story of many others who died. It is repugnant sarcasm to remark "maybe another Holocaust memorial might be built" etc. etc. when the key should be to internalise the reminder, and to guard against a repetition.

    4. The intersection of the set that (a) denies the Holocaust, (b) calls Hitler the saviour incarnate of the German people, (c) all Jews the planners of WWII, (d) Jews the conspirators of 9/11 is also the union of those subsets. You know very well this is the case. If I exaggerate, it is not an extreme exaggeration. What are your views on this matter? Do you belong to this superset?

    5. Iran, recent U.S. wars, and Israel. You wrote clearly that 117 Jews are behind the recent wars and each was waged for the benefit of Israel. Here are my thoughts. It shouldn't be especially remarkable beyond the proportionality aspect, that Jews were key influencers behind GWB's wars, which also had more than a few non-Jewish hands endorsing the same faulty casus belli: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Clinton, Robert Gates, John Ashcroft, Mukasey, George Tenet, Gordon England, Stephen Hadley, Meghan O'Sullivan, Douglas Lute, Negroponte, John Bolton, Karl Rove, to name a few.

    The Israeli leadership, most prominently Netanyahu, found himself with yet another opportunity to jump on the bandwagon. He did jump, very unwisely despite the objections of the generals of the IDF, who actually have the task of prosecuting wars. The situation is vastly different now. There is not a whit of a chance Netanyahu can do anything to push a war against Iran. The generals will not have it. Thus his incessant melodrama, mainly to please his Black-hat coalition. The man is a power fiend.

    The point is Ron, the 117 Jews did what all men in power have always done. Power has a way of corrupting men. The history of these United States, as are the histories of all other powers, great and small, replete with the very same behaviour. It is also the case that citizens of the winners in wars get to benefit far more than the losers. Obviously. Lives get lost. A tragedy, but more the blighted tradition of Mankind. Old men foment wars and young men die. Apparently, our system of majoritarianism hasn't been able to buck that tradition of a thousand years, Jews or no Jews! Yet what can be said about the U.S. without blushing, is that of all nations, she has re-built many a continent after war ravaged them.
    Not quite the Roman Empire to Carthage. What are views on this matter?

    Sam, it ain’t rocket science.

    Dissemblers, most of them, they call it themselves.

    What is the issue: Unnecessary and failed wars?

    It’s interesting that if a minority in the US (2%) want power over the 98% they can only get it at present though controlling the power structure – President, Congress, the administration, the media and the financial system .

    The risk for them is 1) the subversion becoming publicly obvious and 2) the state itself (their power transmission system) beginning to crumble.

    If that’s what’s happening now, then their only option is dictatorship – which the Ziocs in fact seem to be going for, with their “Hate Crime” laws aimed at US citizens, and supposedly legitimizing their Antifa Red Guards.

    Next stop, probably, Homeland Security detentions of “Domestic Terrorists”, reeducation camps, mass arrests and Zioc State and County Commissars with absolute powers to root out dissidents.

    It’s happened before, for example in Russia after 1917, where, the Bolsheviks (the Zioc’s Nº1 heroes), “legally” set it up with extreme violence against any opposition.

    So could they do the same in the US? Absolutely they could – they did 9/11, wasted $ 6 trillion on Israel’s wars and have already caused the deaths of 1000′s of US civilians and servicemen.

    I don't know much about this situation, but this article seems to support your claim:

    Unz says he also thinks the budget is being misspent.

    “I checked with a few people I know who are bloggers for a few other websites,” he says, “and I found out that, based on traffic figures, TAC was basically paying a lot of its bloggers five to ten times the market rate.”

    He also says that Rod Dreher generates close to half of the website’s traffic but is only paid “a very small fraction of TAC’s budget.”

    “In effect, 80 to 90 percent of TAC’s expenses are totally inefficiently being allocated,” he says. “You can’t do that! When you’re desperate financially — in other words, when you’re at the point of almost going out of business periodically, when one guy is generating half your traffic and you’re spending close to a million dollars on everything else — you can’t do that!”

    Also, Mr. Giraldi might be interested in Mr. Sobran's phrasing/terminology and important distinction, from back in 1990, when it comes to criticizing and confronting Jewish Privilege:


    https://newrepublic.com/article/69035/the-heresies-pat-buchanan

    Joe Sobran, a syndicated columnist who was himself accused of anti-Semitism a few years ago, offers this perspective on the Pat Buchanan flap: “Jewish claims are being cut down to size in various ways. It’s coded by a lot of Jews as anti-Semitism. I don’t think it is. It’s more like counter-Semitism.”

    Sobran says that “counter-Semitism,” unlike anti-Semitism, does not seek a “negative outcome” for Jews. It is an attempt “to bring Jews down to the level of ordinary civil society.” According to Sobran, he shares with Buchanan, a friend, an urge to diminish “the excessive moral prestige Jews have in the media and the public square. . . . Jews deciding the standards, setting the criteria of humanity. Since they set themselves up as the arbiter, there is, if you’ll pardon the expression, a certain kill-the-umpire impulse. . . . People are looking at them and saying, come off it. This period of moral prestige has kind of ended.”

    Here is list of what International Jewry (ADL) considers antisemitic:

    Jews are more loyal to Israel than to [this country/to the countries they live in]
    Jews have too much power in the business world
    Jews have too much power in international financial markets
    Jews still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust
    Jews don't care what happens to anyone but their own kind
    Jews have too much control over global affairs
    Jews have too much control over the United States government
    Jews think they are better than other people
    Jews have too much control over the global media
    Jews are responsible for most of the world's wars
    People hate Jews because of the way Jews behave

    I got 4 out of 11!

    [some] Jews are more loyal to Israel than to [this country/to the countries they live in]
    [some] Jews don’t care what happens to anyone but their own kind

    But Ron, you are obviously just a “self-hating Jew” whose opinions are thereby invalidated. Why you’re nearly as deplorable as I am. You’re just another David Cole type!

    For both yourself and Mr Giraldi however, I have one question: Of the non-Jew Israel Firsters, how many are Evangelicals, or rely on the Military Industrial Complex for livelihood, or military officers who make ridiculous sums when deployed to “war” zones? Aren’t they ALL self-dealing traitors???

    Among the most ardent of Israel’s supporters are senior pastors of Protestant churches. Most (80 percent) agree “Christians should support Israel.”

    Even though they support Israel, some pastors have their doubts about Israel’s military actions. About 4 in 10 (41 percent) agree with the statement, “It is hard to defend Israel’s military tactics.” Fifty percent disagree, while 9 percent are not sure.

    http://www.christianitytoday.com/edstetzer/2015/july/new-research-should-christians-support-israel-most-think-so.html

    39% of US thinks Israel has too much influence
    15% of US thinks Israel has too little influence (lol)

    Ron,

    What you did is known as a "drive-by". Drop a set of comments and then disappear to your more *important works*. But I am sure you are reading some of the comments, particularly those tagging your own. Therefore, in the interests of brevity, I'll frame my post as a set of separate but related points [accompanied by brief observations]:

    1. You have an interesting and arguably valuable Webzine. It is also arguably the venue for a class of lunatics and potentially dangerous individuals because you allow completely unfiltered entry, which also very conveniently leaves you with the plausible argument, which you customarily avail of, that you are unaware of what gets written both above and below the commentary sections. It is a clever ploy, but nevertheless leaves open the question as to whether you as the Editor-in-chief and obviously someone with an interest in influencing the court of public opinion, are acting as amicus curiae or animus nocendi? More on this later.

    2. I happen to strongly support free speech and have written about it often. When free speech devolves into high levels of acrimony as they do here, and the logical conclusions of which might easily end with ordinary Jews getting physically hurt, do you at all spare a few minutes of your precious day worrying about it? You might dismiss this as so much "victim talk" - many here claim that to be a Jewish obsession [I never whine, but ironically many of my interlocutors who make those charges here, do, and simply, I am not a bit worried about being able to take care of myself], but I am worried about those easily identified older ordinary Jewish persons who might find themselves at the receiving end of the anger of some lunatic which frequents this board. Yes, do a search and you will find plenty of instances where Jews are targeted on the UR. Living in CA, you might not appreciate it, but NY is a different story.

    3. Some of your contributors and certainly many of the regular commentators wallow in Holocaust denial. What are your views on that subject? My own is that many millions died in WWII and it isn't especially important in context to distinguish, that 6 million Jews or 55 million humans perished in that blighted episode of our history. While Holocaust museums commemorate Jews who died, they also contain the story of many others who died. It is repugnant sarcasm to remark "maybe another Holocaust memorial might be built" etc. etc. when the key should be to internalise the reminder, and to guard against a repetition.

    4. The intersection of the set that (a) denies the Holocaust, (b) calls Hitler the saviour incarnate of the German people, (c) all Jews the planners of WWII, (d) Jews the conspirators of 9/11 is also the union of those subsets. You know very well this is the case. If I exaggerate, it is not an extreme exaggeration. What are your views on this matter? Do you belong to this superset?

    5. Iran, recent U.S. wars, and Israel. You wrote clearly that 117 Jews are behind the recent wars and each was waged for the benefit of Israel. Here are my thoughts. It shouldn't be especially remarkable beyond the proportionality aspect, that Jews were key influencers behind GWB's wars, which also had more than a few non-Jewish hands endorsing the same faulty casus belli: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Clinton, Robert Gates, John Ashcroft, Mukasey, George Tenet, Gordon England, Stephen Hadley, Meghan O'Sullivan, Douglas Lute, Negroponte, John Bolton, Karl Rove, to name a few.

    The Israeli leadership, most prominently Netanyahu, found himself with yet another opportunity to jump on the bandwagon. He did jump, very unwisely despite the objections of the generals of the IDF, who actually have the task of prosecuting wars. The situation is vastly different now. There is not a whit of a chance Netanyahu can do anything to push a war against Iran. The generals will not have it. Thus his incessant melodrama, mainly to please his Black-hat coalition. The man is a power fiend.

    The point is Ron, the 117 Jews did what all men in power have always done. Power has a way of corrupting men. The history of these United States, as are the histories of all other powers, great and small, replete with the very same behaviour. It is also the case that citizens of the winners in wars get to benefit far more than the losers. Obviously. Lives get lost. A tragedy, but more the blighted tradition of Mankind. Old men foment wars and young men die. Apparently, our system of majoritarianism hasn't been able to buck that tradition of a thousand years, Jews or no Jews! Yet what can be said about the U.S. without blushing, is that of all nations, she has re-built many a continent after war ravaged them.
    Not quite the Roman Empire to Carthage. What are views on this matter?

    The article (on the initiation of war), and most comments, are limited to recent events.

    However, it should be noted that US engagement in WW I has been suggested to have been initiated by Wall Street to protect the millions in loans they had made to European nations. HMS Lusitania was a set-up for WW I http://www.mujahidkamran.com/articles.php?id=48 ; Nomi Prins, ALL THE PRESIDENTS BANKERS.

    WW II has been documented by Robert Stinnett, DAY OF DECEIT, based upon government documents obtained by FOIA, to have been the result of a 17 month agenda connived by FDR and his cronies on Wall Street to force Japan into aggression. Pearl was not a surprise.

    The initial use of the CIA to further Wall Street exploitation was their funding of CIA’s Kermit Roosevelt to put the Shah as ruler of Iran in 1953.

    Whether Wall Street is synonymous with Jews is not determined.

    That's unfortunate, Phil, for American Conservative.

    "Lies are what the world lives on, and those who seek the truth, and live their lives in accord, are not the many but the few." - Joseph Campbell, Myths to Live By

    otoh, now you'll have more time to dedicate to Council for the National Interest (CNI)
    http://www.councilforthenationalinterest.org/new/

    (not to be confused with Center for the National Interest, cftni )

    CNI was founded by Congressman Paul Findley and Congressman Paul “Pete” McCloskey.

    CNI's Mission:


    CNI seeks to encourage and promote a U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East that is consistent with American values, protects our national interests, and contributes to a just solution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It is CNI’s goal to restore a political environment in America in which voters and their elected officials are free from the undue influence and pressure of foreign countries and their partisans.
     
    --

    In the last few days several people who had participated on Flynt and Hillary Leverett's blog, http://goingtotehran.com (formerly RaceforIran) asked about the Leveretts and expressed the wish that they could return to this rambunctious marketplace of ideas. goingtotehran.com has been inactive for several years.

    The Leveretts' postings were of the very highest calibre -- Flynt heads a department of international affairs at Penn State, and Hillary has taught at Yale and American Universities. Both were members of George Bush's national security team.

    Ron, Phil, others -- what would it take, or how would one go about enticing the Leveretts to contribute to Unz.com, or to re-activate their blog?

    SolontoCroesus,

    Whether one either believes or disbelieves, FEAR is an ancient, powerful motivator and demotivator.

    A well known example is when Jewish-born Jesus died and was taken down the cross. Recognized as a Follower of The Way, a central disciple, Peter, tried his best to deny what he witnessed and learned.

    Let me look at the good case you have made for “enticing” the Leveretts to either “contribute to U.R. or reactivate their blog.”

    # 1, I don’t know why they have deactivated their blog.

    # 2, I do not know what was either lost or gained by doing # 1.

    # 3, FEAR of Zionist “push back” is powerful thing and I trust the Leveretts are unafraid to express & share what they know at the U.R.

    I do sense why powerful Jews shut down The Daily Stormer web site. They prefer web sites who keep up the minimal standards of endarkenment and monitor the rest.

    Oddly, they continue to allow into “light of day,” ex-airline stewardess, Rebekka Roth’s gripping web page and You Tube videos. Hmm.

    The enticement for the Leverret couple to intensify the proliferation of what they know can indeed happen by the encouragement and EXAMPLE of other bright, fearless, and respectably noble writers.

    In the end though, the strongest enticement comes from within people who are albeit born with a passion to expose deceit.

    Appears to me, for one final & grossly under publicized example, that Mary Pinchot Meyer, the late ex-wife of CIA Cord Meyer, Jr. had that exceptional “truth telling” instinct within her and was murdered.

    “Fear is a powerful thing.” Full disclosure, S2C, the “glitterati” rocker & loyal Hillary Clinton disciple, Bruce Springsteen, once said that in a song. Thank you!

    “European values” in Poland: https://www.rt.com/op-edge/404313-poland-destroys-monuments-soviet-russia/
    “The destruction of Soviet monuments looks more and more like a part of a big plan of rewriting history and remaking the consciousness of Poles. Obviously initiated by the US and the European Union in the 1990s, to this plan was added a radical nationalist face lift that went badly wrong in the last few years. … since the early 2000s, changes in histo-ry textbooks and on city squares turned more and more against Poland’s neighbors – Russia and Germany.” — – Not a word from the US State Dept. and the many hysterical haters of Hitler in the US.
    A tale of a decent Polish man: “…once, when I was returning to Warsaw by train, I said a few cruel words to a Russian woman who was travelling to visit the grave of her husband and lamented lack of gratitude from us. I said: ‘I did not ask anyone to liberate me.’ Now I understand I was wrong. This war against Soviet monuments is a real omen, it re-flects and exacerbates tensions inside our own society. Look at the verbal war of Poles against Poles that we are having now! Now I understand that the old woman was right.”

    There is also the ongoing destruction of Ukraine: http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/09/saakashvilis-ploys-are-only-tip-of.html
    “Ever since the US State Department’s Special Representative for Ukraine, Kurt Volker, commented to the effect that “Saakashvili is fighting corruption and Ukraine is a state of the rule of law” (sic!), the old Georgian revolutionary now poses great risk for President Poroshenko. … The Americans, who did so much to get Poroshenko elected President of Ukraine in the first round of elections, are unlikely to change out their appointed president as long as his usefulness does not wear out. Poroshenko controls is gradually slipping out of his hands, as his party, the Petro Poroshenko Bloc, has an abysmal approval rating that does not exceed 5%.”

    To [my grandfather] Zionism was counterfeit Judaism and the Zionists charlatans.
     
    Whether or not Zionism is "good for the Jews", it does serve a valuable purpose for Americans. If you don't want pesky Jews here, then the Middle East is the most logical and convenient dumping ground for them, isn't it? Even the early National Socialists thought as much.

    I'll worry about Arab claims when they return Egypt to Christendom. It took centuries to get Iberia back, if you remember.

    1. You have an interesting and arguably valuable Webzine. It is also arguably the venue for a class of lunatics and potentially dangerous individuals because you allow completely unfiltered entry, which also very conveniently leaves you with the plausible argument, which you customarily avail of, that you are unaware of what gets written both above and below the commentary sections. It is a clever ploy, but nevertheless leaves open the question as to whether you as the Editor-in-chief and obviously someone with an interest in influencing the court of public opinion, are acting as amicus curiae or animus nocendi? More on this later.

    2. I happen to strongly support free speech and have written about it often. When free speech devolves into high levels of acrimony as they do here, and the logical conclusions of which might easily end with ordinary Jews getting physically hurt, do you at all spare a few minutes of your precious day worrying about it? You might dismiss this as so much "victim talk" - many here claim that to be a Jewish obsession [I never whine, but ironically many of my interlocutors who make those charges here, do, and simply, I am not a bit worried about being able to take care of myself], but I am worried about those easily identified older ordinary Jewish persons who might find themselves at the receiving end of the anger of some lunatic which frequents this board. Yes, do a search and you will find plenty of instances where Jews are targeted on the UR. Living in CA, you might not appreciate it, but NY is a different story.

    3. Some of your contributors and certainly many of the regular commentators wallow in Holocaust denial. What are your views on that subject? My own is that many millions died in WWII and it isn't especially important in context to distinguish, that 6 million Jews or 55 million humans perished in that blighted episode of our history. While Holocaust museums commemorate Jews who died, they also contain the story of many others who died. It is repugnant sarcasm to remark "maybe another Holocaust memorial might be built" etc. etc. when the key should be to internalise the reminder, and to guard against a repetition.

    4. The intersection of the set that (a) denies the Holocaust, (b) calls Hitler the saviour incarnate of the German people, (c) all Jews the planners of WWII, (d) Jews the conspirators of 9/11 is also the union of those subsets. You know very well this is the case. If I exaggerate, it is not an extreme exaggeration. What are your views on this matter? Do you belong to this superset?

    5. Iran, recent U.S. wars, and Israel. You wrote clearly that 117 Jews are behind the recent wars and each was waged for the benefit of Israel. Here are my thoughts. It shouldn't be especially remarkable beyond the proportionality aspect, that Jews were key influencers behind GWB's wars, which also had more than a few non-Jewish hands endorsing the same faulty casus belli: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Clinton, Robert Gates, John Ashcroft, Mukasey, George Tenet, Gordon England, Stephen Hadley, Meghan O'Sullivan, Douglas Lute, Negroponte, John Bolton, Karl Rove, to name a few.

    The Israeli leadership, most prominently Netanyahu, found himself with yet another opportunity to jump on the bandwagon. He did jump, very unwisely despite the objections of the generals of the IDF, who actually have the task of prosecuting wars. The situation is vastly different now. There is not a whit of a chance Netanyahu can do anything to push a war against Iran. The generals will not have it. Thus his incessant melodrama, mainly to please his Black-hat coalition. The man is a power fiend.

    The point is Ron, the 117 Jews did what all men in power have always done. Power has a way of corrupting men. The history of these United States, as are the histories of all other powers, great and small, replete with the very same behaviour. It is also the case that citizens of the winners in wars get to benefit far more than the losers. Obviously. Lives get lost. A tragedy, but more the blighted tradition of Mankind. Old men foment wars and young men die. Apparently, our system of majoritarianism hasn't been able to buck that tradition of a thousand years, Jews or no Jews! Yet what can be said about the U.S. without blushing, is that of all nations, she has re-built many a continent after war ravaged them.
    Not quite the Roman Empire to Carthage. What are views on this matter?

    Power has a way of corrupting men. The history of these United States, as are the histories of all other powers, great and small, replete with the very same behaviour.

    Damn, Sam! I’ve written similar things myself, many times, in many forums and given our past history here, I’ shocked to know that you would write such excellent stuff!

    Well Jacques,
    I do reckon we think similarly. A major difference arises in that I am an unrepentant realist, you the romantic; where I endeavour to do what I think I can achieve within constraints erected by the system in which we all find ourselves, you search for idealism. It's of no use my spilling the contours of what I do on an internet forum since that would be self-defeating. It is a difficult object for most men in power to venture beyond their zones of comfort and envisage the common good. Most fail. Exhibit A the man in the Oval Office. Enough said.

  906. It is truly sad to hear of Mr. Giraldi’s firing from The American Conservative. That action just proves the power the Zionists exercise over our country, especially in foreign policy. They will not tolerate anyone speaking the truth. Mr. Giraldi joins a long list of those that the Zionists have tried to silence. He joins Joseph Sobran, Paul Craig Roberts, Joe Francis, and many others. I hope this will encourage Phil to speak out even more and I am eagerly awaiting the book I hope he will write. Phil, thanks for being our voice and saying so elegantly what we feel.

    I live in NJ. “Some of my best friends are Jews” and some of my family are Jewish converts. I have never heard of violence being threatened against them on that account, certainly not by UR types.

    The petty opportunists at the American Conservatives like pretending to be some courageous and principled people (that they are not). They even make some quite bold declarations: http://www.theamericanconservative.com/about-us/
    "The American Conservative adheres to old and proven principles that are often discarded or paid lip service in the pursuit of power."
    The American Conservative adheres to the old and proven principles of opportunism to secure their paycheck and equal standing among the ziocon moral and intellectual pigmies.

    I don’t know much about this situation, but this article seems to support your claim:

    Unz says he also thinks the budget is being misspent.

    “I checked with a few people I know who are bloggers for a few other websites,” he says, “and I found out that, based on traffic figures, TAC was basically paying a lot of its bloggers five to ten times the market rate.”

    He also says that Rod Dreher generates close to half of the website’s traffic but is only paid “a very small fraction of TAC’s budget.”

    “In effect, 80 to 90 percent of TAC’s expenses are totally inefficiently being allocated,” he says. “You can’t do that! When you’re desperate financially — in other words, when you’re at the point of almost going out of business periodically, when one guy is generating half your traffic and you’re spending close to a million dollars on everything else — you can’t do that!”

    http://www.nationalreview.com/article/354893/american-conservative-unfused-betsy-woodruff

    Also, Mr. Giraldi might be interested in Mr. Sobran’s phrasing/terminology and important distinction, from back in 1990, when it comes to criticizing and confronting Jewish Privilege:

    https://newrepublic.com/article/69035/the-heresies-pat-buchanan

    Joe Sobran, a syndicated columnist who was himself accused of anti-Semitism a few years ago, offers this perspective on the Pat Buchanan flap: “Jewish claims are being cut down to size in various ways. It’s coded by a lot of Jews as anti-Semitism. I don’t think it is. It’s more like counter-Semitism.”

    Sobran says that “counter-Semitism,” unlike anti-Semitism, does not seek a “negative outcome” for Jews. It is an attempt “to bring Jews down to the level of ordinary civil society.” According to Sobran, he shares with Buchanan, a friend, an urge to diminish “the excessive moral prestige Jews have in the media and the public square. . . . Jews deciding the standards, setting the criteria of humanity. Since they set themselves up as the arbiter, there is, if you’ll pardon the expression, a certain kill-the-umpire impulse. . . . People are looking at them and saying, come off it. This period of moral prestige has kind of ended.”

    It's interesting that if a minority in the US (2%) want power over the 98% they can only get it at present though controlling the power structure - President, Congress, the administration, the media and the financial system .

    The risk for them is 1) the subversion becoming publicly obvious and 2) the state itself (their power transmission system) beginning to crumble.

    If that's what's happening now, then their only option is dictatorship - which the Ziocs in fact seem to be going for, with their "Hate Crime" laws aimed at US citizens, and supposedly legitimizing their Antifa Red Guards.

    Next stop, probably, Homeland Security detentions of "Domestic Terrorists", reeducation camps, mass arrests and Zioc State and County Commissars with absolute powers to root out dissidents.

    It's happened before, for example in Russia after 1917, where, the Bolsheviks (the Zioc's Nº1 heroes), "legally" set it up with extreme violence against any opposition.

    So could they do the same in the US? Absolutely they could - they did 9/11, wasted $ 6 trillion on Israel's wars and have already caused the deaths of 1000's of US civilians and servicemen.

    Excellent comment…

    I'm really much too busy with my software work to waste any time on all this nonsense, any more than I would be willing to argue with some kindergarteners who dispute whether the clear sky is really blue. But I got a little curious about the dozen or more MSM stories regarding the controversy, and glancing at a few of them that topped the list at Google News, I noticed something quite telling.

    Offhand I'd say that Valerie Plame is probably about the most famous undercover CIA agent in American history, and during the 2000s her name was regularly on the the front pages. Even this past year, I've seen her occasionally mentioned in my morning NYT/WSJ. And we have someone of such reasonable prominence sending out an utterly explosive Tweet with the headline "America's Jews Are Driving America's Wars," then backtracking an hour or two later under massive pressure and apologizing. That certainly seems like a pretty major story.

    Yet the coverage was almost entirely confined to second- or mostly third-rank media outlets, with virtually no significant journalists or foreign policy figures seeming to provide any critical quotes and almost all the shrill attacks I saw coming from people whom I'd never heard of. The only prominent public critics I noticed were Alan Dershowitz and Marc Levin, both especially fanatic Jewish Neocons. And not a single word got into the NYT, the WSJ, or any other top-tier mainstream news outlet.

    The obvious explanation of such remarkable silence is that roughly 100% of all the serious foreign policy experts and journalists know perfectly well that Plame and Giraldi were absolutely correct, and don't want to have all their friends laughing at them if they publicly claim otherwise. Perhaps they're also a bit concerned about putting statements on the record that might place them in front of a hangman's noose a bit down the road.

    Anyway, I need to return to my software and let all of you get back to arguing about whether or not the sky is blue...

    Anyway, I need to return to my software and let all of you get back to arguing about whether or not the sky is blue…

    The sky is not always perceived as blue, Sir!

    “Blue” is a psycho-physical phenomenon and the perception of it depends on many variables, so the claim is no more cut and dried than the claim in the title of PG’s otherwise excellent article. In other words, what seems obvious is probably better described as simplistic.

    Ron,

    What you did is known as a "drive-by". Drop a set of comments and then disappear to your more *important works*. But I am sure you are reading some of the comments, particularly those tagging your own. Therefore, in the interests of brevity, I'll frame my post as a set of separate but related points [accompanied by brief observations]:

    1. You have an interesting and arguably valuable Webzine. It is also arguably the venue for a class of lunatics and potentially dangerous individuals because you allow completely unfiltered entry, which also very conveniently leaves you with the plausible argument, which you customarily avail of, that you are unaware of what gets written both above and below the commentary sections.

    So by the ‘same terms as any other people’, the Palestinians would have the absolute right to establish their own state

    Yes, they do, but since they haven't yet done so tells me that there is not much chance of it happening in the future.

    Yes, they do, but since they haven’t yet done so tells me that there is not much chance of it happening in the future.

    Right. Because the norms of international law have been suspended by force.

    You seem to agree with my assertion that Israel wasn’t established on the same terms as other states so, to return to the original quote, do you still give approval to the right of Jews in Palestine to establish a national state, even if it is not ‘on the same terms as any other people establishing a national state’ ?

    If so, why do you consider this to be a special case?

    Dear Sam,
    Yes I did Troll your post.
    There was no option for "Dude, you are in a serious meltdown," so I had to settle for Troll.

    Mukasey's particular pedigree of Jewishness speaks directly to the fundamental -- make that incriminating -- element in your rant.

    Did you read geokat62's #896?

    Read it again.

    Dear SolontoCroesus
    On the contrary; “Troll” signifies the user disdaining to read a post. Yet you did read it and precisely as I expected found the Jew!

    Thus if I listed the hundreds of names in the State Department and other agencies, staffers and decision makers, high and low, who supported the neocon agenda, you would unfailingly pursue your single-minded cause of discovering the Jew. That was my point. Very little else matters for you, Geokat and Giraldi.

    Dear Sam Shama,

    I suspect you want a point-by-point debate of your comment.
    Not gonna do it.
    That was one reason for the brief, unembroidered mention that Mukasey is Jewish: it's a simple, true (but pregnant) fact that provided a droll response to what I thought was an unhinged, almost hysterical rant. End of my investment in the discussion.

    You addressed Ron. Maybe he'll take the bait, but if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Phil highlighted geokat62's comment that shone a spotlight on your unintended, or subconscious proof that Phil's thesis is correct: you complained that discussion of Jewish involvement in America's wars was being conducted in a way that might cause harm to Jews. You harangued Ron for not being worried about Jews.

    geokat62 focused on the destructive aspect of the wars themselves, and on the reality that a million or more innocent people have died and entire states are in turmoil and ruin, for generations; that is the important reality to confront.

    You are worried about a hypothetical, older Jew in New York City being harmed by words typed by an anonymous, amorphous blogger.
    To borrow a phrase Frank Luntz might love, there does not seem to be a moral equivalence between your concerns and geokat62's.

    I really wasn't thinking about the "counting Jews" part of your comment: I guess you were focusing on a comparative head-count aspect, trying to make the point that a lot of the people who are behind decisions to go to war are not Jewish, and that is certainly true.

    But why is USA so entangled in that part of the world in the first place? See comments #783 and #846 http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/americas-jews-are-driving-americas-wars/#comment-2017858 : USA is involved in MENA because of fanatical Jabotinskyites who, at the Jonathan Institute in July 1979 rolled out the blueprint for the Global War on Terror.
    The Jonathan Institute was established to memorialize Jonathan Netanyahu, who died in the Israeli raid on Entebbe on July 4, 1976: the date was not a mere coincidence: Israelis believe that that raid on the day that USA was celebrating its 200th anniversary of independence was Israel's declaration of its status as co-equal guardian of "liberty and democracy." The July 1979 conference in Jerusalem documented that status.

    In July, 1979 the Shah was still in (tenuous) power in Iran; Iran was not a focus of the Conference -- Arafat and PLO were the major sources of 'terrorism.'

    However -- if you want to understand the complexity and intensity of Bibi's animus toward Iran, consider this scenario: Jonathan Netanyahu was Bibi's older brother and the apple of his father's eye. After his death Benzion worshipped his son like a martyr; in fact, Israel views Jonathan as a national hero-martyr; his collected letters have acquired the stature of Anne Frank's diary. Benjamin was studying at Columbia when Jonathan died; he left the USA and returned to Israel where he and his father set up the Jonathan Institute. There is also a shrine to Jonathan in Philadelphia, where the Netanyahus grew up. (It was also in Philadelphia -- in Independence Hall -- that the American Jewish Congress was formed in 1918.)

    Jonathan was wounded at Entebbe because he did something stupid. Ephraim Sneh was the medic on the Entebbe team; he failed to save Jonathan's life. Think about that: if you're the guy who presided over the death of Israel's major martyr, what do you do to redeem yourself? Sneh was elected to Knesset and became one of the earliest and most vocal and persistent critics of Iran. It was Sneh who introduced to the Knesset the notion that Iran's nuclear capabilities should be eradicated. All of these emotionally charged events bled into each other and dramatically shaped Bibi Netanyahu.

    It is fanciful to suppose that Netanyahu will change his stripes: he is psychologically bound to his crazy father, and Benzion Netanyahu was Jabotinsky's spokesperson and adroit political operative in NYC when Revisionist zionist steamrollered American Jewry. Bibi can as readily turn his back on that generational legacy as Eli Weisel could turn the holocaust museum into a sports bar.

    BTW Check out Mukasey's background. He fits the definition of 'fanatical Jabotinskyite.'

    Your point, Sam is that if you swing a dead among the people in positions of power, you can't help but hit a good number of your countrymen; which we then use as confirmation bias for our arguments, however, neither Phil nor anyone else is making this point!

    p.s. Everyone who opposes Jews is NOT willing to kill them. That is a canard and a Big Jew lie told by the Littler Jews.

    I do reckon we think similarly. A major difference arises in that I am an unrepentant realist, you the romantic; where I endeavour to do what I think I can achieve within constraints erected by the system in which we all find ourselves, you search for idealism. It’s of no use my spilling the contours of what I do on an internet forum since that would be self-defeating. It is a difficult object for most men in power to venture beyond their zones of comfort and envisage the common good. Most fail. Exhibit A the man in the Oval Office. Enough said.

    It’s not so much that I’m a romantic; but that I call it like I sees it, and most systems either suck or soon will. I think the main difference is that you have a higher tolerance for BS than I, and I don’t think our efforts count for much in a positive sense, i.e., we’re better at doing damage than building anything positive that lasts. Any improvements in mankinds’ behavior is pretty much a matter of evolution if there’s any possibility of it at all. But whatever, you done good in your power comment.

    Legions of Satan by Jonathan Williams

    No proof that this book ever existed. Perhaps somebody could research how and where was it first mentioned on internet. Imo, it i s safe to assume it is hoax at this point.

    It is easy to make a hoax preying on desire for confirmation bias like when you expressed it by " it seems to be a reasonably accurate description of America’s current peril." The same argument as you as made by the holocaust scholar and propagandists Deborah Lipstadt . When several books about holocaust like one by Benjamin Wilkomirski or by Misha Defonseca were proven to be confabulations and hoaxes Deborah Lipstadt stated that it was not a problem because the books describe reality of Holcaust well and thus could be used for educational (propaganda and indoctrination) purposes.

    It is possible that some easy to expose anti-semitic hoaxes are created on purpose to make allegations that some legitimate records are also a hoax. I am thinking of Protocols of Elders of Zion which are being tried to be dismissed as hoax for last 100 years with a mixed success.

    Solzhenitsyn explained in 200 yrs together that The Protocols as such were fake, produced by Tsarist government department.

    Not true. Solzhenitsyn did not render a judgment on The Protocols authenticity. Though yes he does not belief in the existence of "the Elders of the Zion." Actually what does authenticity of the Protocols really mean is entirely different question. What matters is the insight and predictive power of the Protocols which many other post fact hoaxes do not have. The Protocols appeared long before the Bolshevik Revolution on can be judged on the accuracy of predicting the system in Soviet Union. Solzhenitsyn was actually so impressed with how savvy were the Protocols in terms of modern concept of sociology, psychology and social engineering that he doubted that they could have been procured by Okhrana. He wrote

    “The Protocols … show a blueprint of a social system. Its design is well above abilities of an ordinary mind, including that of its publisher. It is a dynamic process of two stages, of destabilization, increasing freedom and liberalism, which is terminated in social cataclysm, and on the second stage, new hierarchical restructuring of society takes place. It is more complicated than a nuclear bomb. It could be a stolen and distorted plan designed by a mind of genius. Its putrid style of an anti-Semitic grubby brochure [intentionally] obscures the great strength of thought and insight”.

    Dear SolontoCroesus
    On the contrary; "Troll" signifies the user disdaining to read a post. Yet you did read it and precisely as I expected found the Jew!

    Thus if I listed the hundreds of names in the State Department and other agencies, staffers and decision makers, high and low, who supported the neocon agenda, you would unfailingly pursue your single-minded cause of discovering the Jew. That was my point. Very little else matters for you, Geokat and Giraldi.

    Dear Sam Shama,

    I suspect you want a point-by-point debate of your comment.
    Not gonna do it.
    That was one reason for the brief, unembroidered mention that Mukasey is Jewish: it’s a simple, true (but pregnant) fact that provided a droll response to what I thought was an unhinged, almost hysterical rant. End of my investment in the discussion.

    You addressed Ron. Maybe he’ll take the bait, but if I were you, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

    Phil highlighted geokat62′s comment that shone a spotlight on your unintended, or subconscious proof that Phil’s thesis is correct: you complained that discussion of Jewish involvement in America’s wars was being conducted in a way that might cause harm to Jews. You harangued Ron for not being worried about Jews.

    geokat62 focused on the destructive aspect of the wars themselves, and on the reality that a million or more innocent people have died and entire states are in turmoil and ruin, for generations; that is the important reality to confront.

    You are worried about a hypothetical, older Jew in New York City being harmed by words typed by an anonymous, amorphous blogger.
    To borrow a phrase Frank Luntz might love, there does not seem to be a moral equivalence between your concerns and geokat62′s.

    I really wasn’t thinking about the “counting Jews” part of your comment: I guess you were focusing on a comparative head-count aspect, trying to make the point that a lot of the people who are behind decisions to go to war are not Jewish, and that is certainly true.

    But why is USA so entangled in that part of the world in the first place? See comments #783 and #846 http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/americas-jews-are-driving-americas-wars/#comment-2017858 : USA is involved in MENA because of fanatical Jabotinskyites who, at the Jonathan Institute in July 1979 rolled out the blueprint for the Global War on Terror.
    The Jonathan Institute was established to memorialize Jonathan Netanyahu, who died in the Israeli raid on Entebbe on July 4, 1976: the date was not a mere coincidence: Israelis believe that that raid on the day that USA was celebrating its 200th anniversary of independence was Israel’s declaration of its status as co-equal guardian of “liberty and democracy.” The July 1979 conference in Jerusalem documented that status.

    In July, 1979 the Shah was still in (tenuous) power in Iran; Iran was not a focus of the Conference — Arafat and PLO were the major sources of ‘terrorism.’

    However — if you want to understand the complexity and intensity of Bibi’s animus toward Iran, consider this scenario: Jonathan Netanyahu was Bibi’s older brother and the apple of his father’s eye. After his death Benzion worshipped his son like a martyr; in fact, Israel views Jonathan as a national hero-martyr; his collected letters have acquired the stature of Anne Frank’s diary. Benjamin was studying at Columbia when Jonathan died; he left the USA and returned to Israel where he and his father set up the Jonathan Institute. There is also a shrine to Jonathan in Philadelphia, where the Netanyahus grew up. (It was also in Philadelphia — in Independence Hall — that the American Jewish Congress was formed in 1918.)

    Jonathan was wounded at Entebbe because he did something stupid. Ephraim Sneh was the medic on the Entebbe team; he failed to save Jonathan’s life. Think about that: if you’re the guy who presided over the death of Israel’s major martyr, what do you do to redeem yourself? Sneh was elected to Knesset and became one of the earliest and most vocal and persistent critics of Iran. It was Sneh who introduced to the Knesset the notion that Iran’s nuclear capabilities should be eradicated. All of these emotionally charged events bled into each other and dramatically shaped Bibi Netanyahu.

    It is fanciful to suppose that Netanyahu will change his stripes: he is psychologically bound to his crazy father, and Benzion Netanyahu was Jabotinsky’s spokesperson and adroit political operative in NYC when Revisionist zionist steamrollered American Jewry. Bibi can as readily turn his back on that generational legacy as Eli Weisel could turn the holocaust museum into a sports bar.

    Thank you for the important historical reference. This explains a lot about the madness of Bibi-land policies and about the stupidity of American Jews who follow the Piper, out of a sense of alleged ethnic superiority, towards the global (final) catastrophe, this time entirely self-inflicted. The Middle Eastern wars have produced some 4 million civilian deaths. Hundreds of thousands of the victims are children. The whole countries have been ruined following the PNAC blueprint. Time to convert the Eli-Weisel-Holocaust museums into the museums of de-Zionification.

    You wrote a great deal, equal parts pet propaganda, misrepresentation of my post, and downthread, the farcical travel back in Time of a thousand years.

    You know full well that words '[..]typed by an anonymous, amorphous blogger.' are not the literal concern over which I spend fretful minutes; words cannot break a bone. It is, on the other hand, the inspiration which a true believer of tenancy in this space who might jolly well assume the burden of carrying out the logical endgame which concerns me. This is not a mere isolated piece, nor a sporadic one; it is the unsurprising instalment of an unbroken theme which permeates Mr Giraldi's writing, as well those populating the commentary section: the 'undercurrent' Plame failed to realise initially, yet to her credit, corrected in the end.

    What prompts your belief, Mukasey, a sufficiently waspy sounding name, was a nescient insertion? It was - my laughter afterwards one would've thought ample clue - a deliberate inclusion, and true to form he was smoked out!

    The highlighted comment you refer to, without circumlocution, was entirely self-serving. That, my dear S2C, is what must be crystal clear to anyone with even a brief familiarity of the proceedings here: this favourite corner of like-minded "patriots".

    I am familiar with the Jonathan Institute. Yes, it is the pet project of Netanyahu and a coterie of individuals with an equal interest in terrorism as in simoleon. So, I suffer no delusions. It is, like so many other institutes, little toadstools appearing after the rain. They all blot the landscape, these institutes from all sides of the spectrum, and I hardly think it is the first of its particular purpose. Lord Chalfont and Gillian Baker, veterans of the terrorism industry in the U.K, both wrote of the media's role in these matters and were, I believe, associated with Bibi's little gig. None of it is especially remarkable. But of course, you discover some deep plan for world domination. I am reading the Protocols, which when I am done with, will be sure to put to good use formulating my own stratagem.

    Bibi, I keep repeating, is a melodramatic queen. Whether he has any true animus toward Iran, I cannot say; but I doubt it. He is merely trying to hold his Black-hat coalition together.

    should never
     
    Is a fairly strong position to take. I think citizens should be vetted for the position based on their opinions and common sense evaluation to see if they would be biased. For instance a Moroccan Muslim might be a good fit to be an ambassador to, say, Malaysia. But possibly not if he has a Malaysian wife.

    If it is determined that one cannot find Muslim citizens that can be neutral with regard to any Muslim countries (due to their natural inclinations of a spiritual brotherhood) and cannot carry out their duties with a detached mindset that conforms to the policies of the government that they represent - then sure, Muslims shouldn't be ambassadors to other Muslim countries. Especially if they are using their position to benefit the other country to the detriment of the US. I don't see that as a problem.

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    Thank you so much Matt.

    I see a lot of appeal in having a back-up state. I have envisaged everyone having a back-up state.
     
    How would that work?
    Would back-up states be established on the basis of ethnicity -- like Germans hoped to do; on basis of religion, like Tibet?
    What if the same ethnic group has differing religious allegiances, like the Irish -- would there be a separate state for Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants?

    How would the British sort themselves into back-up states? Monarchists HERE, former colonials THERE, Immigrants somewhere else?

    Would there be roads to connect the various back-up states? Who would pay for them? Who could use them?

    What system of laws would apply in back-up states?

    Wasn't Robert E Lee, in effect, fighting for the right to have a back-up state?
    Are you saying his effort should have been honored?

    What would happen to people already settled on a territory designated for a back-up state for some different group -- should that native group be required to move out? Where would they go? Do they get a back-up state?

    How would that work?

    Same as it works for the primary state.

    , @SolontoCroesus
    1. Khomeini died almost 30 years ago.

    2. Ever since Haman, Jews have performed the mental gymnastics of turning defense of one's own nation/interests into "they want to exterminate da Joos." Since Haman, Jews have defined themselves as the world's victim. At the same time, Jews boast that THEY 'survived' but other ancient peoples have disappeared. Rather a contradiction, but as Gideon Levy pointed out in a conference in DC in 2015, the conflicting narrative is a pillar of Israeli society. It's tiresome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFQWU0DtbGA

    3. Moreover, while he was still alive, and Iran was embroiled in a savage war with Iraq-- goaded by US strategists like Zbigniew Brzezinski -- Israel was fully engaged with Khomeini's government in selling weapons to Iran.

    In "The Secret War with Iran," Ronen Bergman explained the rationale for Israel's practice of 'supporting' the Islamic Republic of Iran. Violating the embargo United States placed on selling weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, Israel's Defense Ministry sold weapons to Iran, in secret, in Operation Seashell:


    " 'Operation Seashell . . .puts the later Iran-contra scandal to shame.
    There were four main reasons why Operation Seashell went forward.
    FIRST, Israel could not come to terms with the military, intelligence, and diplomatic losses that it had sustained with the disruption of relations with Iran after the revolution.

    [sidebar: As Niall Ferguson explained in his biography of the Rothschilds as well as in "The Ascent of Money," "the core function of institutions called banks was information gathering." ]

    Arms exports would at least give [Israel] a foothold in Tehran. In Israel's defense establishment, the lesson had been learned . . . that swiftly supplying weaponry and military know-how to a . . .state will bring the supplier as close as possible to the rulers . . .

    Second, it was hoped that the infusion of weaponry would intensify the Iran-Iraq war and lead to the mutual destruction or, at least weakening, of two enemies.

    Third, Israeli officials feared a victorious Saddam Hussein.

    Finally, more than anything else, the weapons industry wanted to make money. As one Israeli Defense Ministry official, a key figure in Operation Seashell, recalls, "I do not remember even one discussion about the ethics of the matter. All that interested us was to sell, sell, sell more and more Israeli weapons, and let them kill each other with them." "
     

    It's a good idea to keep these attitudes and practices in mind when considering the multiple forces that push for war in the Middle East and against Iran-- including, not least, American Jews; and also the nature and real goals of JCPOA, what its real purposes were (i.e. to gain insider information in furtherance of acquiring dominance over banking/finance), and whether or not, or for what larger strategic purposes it will be abrogated.

    4. Given the murderous contempt expressed and carried out by Israelis against the Iranian people throughout the Iran-Iraq war, Yossi Alpher's more recent explanation of the attitude "most Israelis" hold toward Iran is breathtakingly arrogant and hypocritical. In discussing his book on Israel's search for new "periphery partners," Alpher confided to Bruce Reidel that so many Israelis who "go back to the time of the Shah" still have "periphery nostalgia:"


    "There are still very senior Israelis . . . who believe to this day that the Islamic Republic is an aberration and a temporary one, and if you somehow push the right military or sanctions button or whatever, they will fall and the good guys will come back to power.

    . . .

    We Israelis, again, back to that isolation -- we Israelis, to this day, have a need to -- a deep need to be recognized and accepted by the region. You see, Bibi’s demand, which is supported by most Israelis, that the Palestinians recognize us as a Jewish state, or the state of the Jewish people -- the nation-state of the Jewish people -- this goes way back, this need to be recognized. . . .

    [A]t the height of the periphery doctrine, when things are going well, there’s this sense that the ancient peoples of the Middle East have created an alliance, the people who precede the Arabs, okay. We go back with Iran, we just celebrated Purim, all right, we go back 2,600 years with Iran. The Egyptian, the Ethiopian national narrative is King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. So, this is almost a biblical -- a new biblical chapter.

    This is how some people in Israel felt. . . .Everybody in Tehran and in Addis and in Ankara --- They did not reciprocate. They said, we kidded ourselves that they did. And we still do to this day, because if you believe that -- we are somehow Middle Eastern, ancient blood brothers, then who’s Khomeini? This wasn’t meant to be.
     

    Think of the complexities that zionists/Jews have created for themselves, when Polish and Lithuanian Jews, having planted Berlin-on-the-Mediterranean, shrink with horror from their ancient Semitic roots, as expressed in this epigraph to Gil Eyal's "The Disenchantment of the Orient" --

    At the end of every Hebrew sentence that you utter,
    There sits an Arab, smoking his hookah,
    Even if it begun in Siberia,
    Or in Hollywood, with Hava Nagilah.
    -Me'ir Ariel

    while clinging to those same Semitic - Abrahamic roots that marked them as "Chosen" and conveyed to them title to that plot of land where they transplanted their European fantasy-utopia, and simultaneously persuading themselves that they are "blood brothers" to the Persian empire, per Yossi Alpher.

    Now, realize that in exchange for a few pieces of silver, US legislators give to these deeply identity-conflicted people access to information as well as the most sophisticated weapons in the world, and that they have more nuclear weapons than anybody knows about, and Kim Jong-Un begins to look like a model partner: at least Kim knows who he is and what his cultural roots are.

    I'm referring generally to the problem we normally avoid thinking about when we have competing values which draws close to having to qualify near absolute values.

    With "thou shalt not kill" we have long absorbed exceptions we are brought up to be comfortable with so it is hardly even a reference point for discussion. But principles of free speech and only killing Americans after due process and foreigners in lawful wars in lawful ways should, when ee confront reality, make us avoid oversimplifying the issues or the answers.

    That is unless you take the bland free speech line that every distorter of history and group libeller ought to be answered in open debate instead of censored. (It arises in that form in Australia whenever some notorious speaker/writer like David Irving is denied a visa). How much time and money should be devoted to combatting repeated lies?

    Who gets to decide if it is a lie? How can we get at “the truth” if some speech is prohibited? How many times does a lie get to be repeated before the investigation is closed?

    I’m referring generally to the problem we normally avoid thinking about when we have competing values which draws close to having to qualify near absolute values.

    Consider the hackneyed, “We need to have a conversation about race.” Only the naïve believe that the speaker is desirous of and willing to have a real conversation about race.

    Consider the JQ. It has been decided that the disproportionate representation of Jews in media, finance, academia, government, etc. is off limits to discussion. I can see the logic in limiting the discussion based upon historical events, but that presupposes that disproportionate representation is not a problem. Who got to make the decision that it was not a problem? Were all the facts in play during the decision making process?

While I might find it oppressive to have to be always on top of the arguments one can take it that the Jewish community - in any country with a substantial Jewish community - is equipped and ready for battle. But that justification does suggest that there might be a case for protecting some less well equipped victims of slander.

    common sense policies in putting neutral people in positions like ambassadors

    Does this mean that the US should never allow a Muslim to occupy a position of influence with regard to Muslim countries or exercise authority on any issues that might impact Muslims or Islam?

    Hey iffen,

    should never

    Is a fairly strong position to take. I think citizens should be vetted for the position based on their opinions and common sense evaluation to see if they would be biased. For instance a Moroccan Muslim might be a good fit to be an ambassador to, say, Malaysia. But possibly not if he has a Malaysian wife.

    If it is determined that one cannot find Muslim citizens that can be neutral with regard to any Muslim countries (due to their natural inclinations of a spiritual brotherhood) and cannot carry out their duties with a detached mindset that conforms to the policies of the government that they represent – then sure, Muslims shouldn’t be ambassadors to other Muslim countries. Especially if they are using their position to benefit the other country to the detriment of the US. I don’t see that as a problem.

    Peace.

    I think that you see the problem that I envisage.

    Should Cuban-Americans have any input into policy regarding Cuba? Should Mexican-Americans be considered reliable with regard to Mexico and immigration issues? Should Gary Locke have been allowed to serve as ambassador to China? Can white judges be relied upon when the victim is white and the defendant is black?

    I rib people for being afraid of a slippery slope, but if this is not one then there is no such a thing.

    My question is why is it that only the Jews are questioned? Why not all the others?

    , @Anonymous
    I keep seeing you mentioning Malaysia as a Muslim country, Talha. That's really only a half truth.

    Malaysia is essentially British at the core, the government positions and GLCs are monopolised by the Malays and their coreligionists the Muslim Indians, while the private economy is run almost entirely by the Chinese, with abundant cheap labour provided by foreign workers from various impoverished Asian countries.

    There is a national slogan, 'Satu Malaysia' (one Malaysia) and more recently 'Sehati Sejiwa' (one heart, one soul) and both are patently false. I count, at minimum three Malaysias: The Malaysia of the Malays, the Malaysia of the Chinese, and the Malaysia of the foreign workers.

    So in this situation, pretty much any ambassador would have a conflict of interest!

  952. @Sam Shama
    Ron,

    What you did is known as a "drive-by". Drop a set of comments and then disappear to your more *important works*. But I am sure you are reading some of the comments, particularly those tagging your own. Therefore, in the interests of brevity, I'll frame my post as a set of separate but related points [accompanied by brief observations]:

    1. You have an interesting and arguably valuable Webzine. It is also arguably the venue for a class of lunatics and potentially dangerous individuals because you allow completely unfiltered entry, which also very conveniently leaves you with the plausible argument, which you customarily avail of, that you are unaware of what gets written both above and below the commentary sections. It is a clever ploy, but nevertheless leaves open the question as to whether you as the Editor-in-chief and obviously someone with an interest in influencing the court of public opinion, are acting as amicus curiae or animus nocendi? More on this later.

    2. I happen to strongly support free speech and have written about it often. When free speech devolves into high levels of acrimony as they do here, and the logical conclusions of which might easily end with ordinary Jews getting physically hurt, do you at all spare a few minutes of your precious day worrying about it? You might dismiss this as so much "victim talk" - many here claim that to be a Jewish obsession [I never whine, but ironically many of my interlocutors who make those charges here, do, and simply, I am not a bit worried about being able to take care of myself], but I am worried about those easily identified older ordinary Jewish persons who might find themselves at the receiving end of the anger of some lunatic which frequents this board. Yes, do a search and you will find plenty of instances where Jews are targeted on the UR. Living in CA, you might not appreciate it, but NY is a different story.

    3. Some of your contributors and certainly many of the regular commentators wallow in Holocaust denial. What are your views on that subject? My own is that many millions died in WWII and it isn't especially important in context to distinguish, that 6 million Jews or 55 million humans perished in that blighted episode of our history. While Holocaust museums commemorate Jews who died, they also contain the story of many others who died. It is repugnant sarcasm to remark "maybe another Holocaust memorial might be built" etc. etc. when the key should be to internalise the reminder, and to guard against a repetition.

    4. The intersection of the set that (a) denies the Holocaust, (b) calls Hitler the saviour incarnate of the German people, (c) all Jews the planners of WWII, (d) Jews the conspirators of 9/11 is also the union of those subsets. You know very well this is the case. If I exaggerate, it is not an extreme exaggeration. What are your views on this matter? Do you belong to this superset?

    5. Iran, recent U.S. wars, and Israel. You wrote clearly that 117 Jews are behind the recent wars and each was waged for the benefit of Israel. Here are my thoughts. It shouldn't be especially remarkable beyond the proportionality aspect, that Jews were key influencers behind GWB's wars, which also had more than a few non-Jewish hands endorsing the same faulty casus belli: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Clinton, Robert Gates, John Ashcroft, Mukasey, George Tenet, Gordon England, Stephen Hadley, Meghan O'Sullivan, Douglas Lute, Negroponte, John Bolton, Karl Rove, to name a few.

    The Israeli leadership, most prominently Netanyahu, found himself with yet another opportunity to jump on the bandwagon. He did jump, very unwisely despite the objections of the generals of the IDF, who actually have the task of prosecuting wars. The situation is vastly different now. There is not a whit of a chance Netanyahu can do anything to push a war against Iran. The generals will not have it. Thus his incessant melodrama, mainly to please his Black-hat coalition. The man is a power fiend.

    The point is Ron, the 117 Jews did what all men in power have always done. Power has a way of corrupting men. The history of these United States, as are the histories of all other powers, great and small, replete with the very same behaviour. It is also the case that citizens of the winners in wars get to benefit far more than the losers. Obviously. Lives get lost. A tragedy, but more the blighted tradition of Mankind. Old men foment wars and young men die. Apparently, our system of majoritarianism hasn't been able to buck that tradition of a thousand years, Jews or no Jews! Yet what can be said about the U.S. without blushing, is that of all nations, she has re-built many a continent after war ravaged them.
    Not quite the Roman Empire to Carthage. What are views on this matter?

    Sam The Sham pontificating, top-to-bottom, to Ron Unz: “There is not a whit of a chance Netanyahu can do anything to push a war against Iran. The generals will not have.”

    Oh my, the arrogant horror, the didactic horror!

    (sigh)

    And here’s hoping Ron continues a Chief of U.R
    Staff car “drive by” of comment # 866!

    Selah majoritarianism 6 million blushing fiend.

  953. FYI commenters, we added an update to the article: “On the morning of September 21st Phil Giraldi was fired over the phone by The American Conservative, where he had been a regular contributor for fourteen years. He was told that “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” was unacceptable. The TAC management and board appear to have forgotten that the magazine was launched with an article by founder Pat Buchanan entitled “Whose War?” which largely made the same claims that Giraldi made about the Jewish push for another war, in that case with Iraq. Buchanan was vilified and called an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now going after Giraldi.”

    Well done, Phil! You must have got close enough to the mark!

    The main justified objection in my view is that your article talks solely about 'Jews' whereas a lot of commentators have pointed out that they're Jewish but have nothing to do with 'The Jews'. Perhaps you could think about adopting a 'Big Jews' / 'Little Jews' split? Or perhaps we could revive the term 'Judea' to refer to the collective global nation of Jews, of which Israelis are only a part.
    , @polskijoe
    That is unfortunate.

    I found Pat Buchanan, Joe Sobran, and yourself
    to be critical of Jewish influence, but not hating Jews.


    Antisemite is a very strange term and it gives power to certain groups.

    Facts are:
    Semites are a large group of many people Arabs, Jews, etc.
    The people in power can label anyone antisemite and they have power to ruin someones reputation.

    Stereotypes about Jews,
    vs criticizing an individual Jew
    vs generalizing Jews
    vs hating Jews
    all different things.

    Saying many Jews are rich shouldnt be antisemitic.

    Mr. Giraldi,

    THANKS for the important update.

    To reiterate a past comment, I am eager to read Pat Buchanan's take on The American Conservative's disgraceful deed. Please "be all you can be," Patrick!


    Soviet Russia under Khrushchev only needed de-Stalinization. Much worse is the present US government plight. We desperately need de-Zionization and even elite Democrat Party stalwart Jews know President Trump "ain't no Hitler."

    May God bless your exposure of powerful institutional evil.
    , @geokat62

    Buchanan was vilified and called an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now going after Giraldi.”
     
    Well, if someone wrote an essay that concluded with this paragraph, it's easy to see why they would accuse him of being an anti-Semite:

    Let us conclude. The Israeli people are America’s friends and have a right to peace and secure borders. We should help them secure these rights. As a nation, we have made a moral commitment, endorsed by half a dozen presidents, which Americans wish to honor, not to permit these people who have suffered much to see their country overrun and destroyed. And we must honor this commitment.
     
    Pretty racist stuff, huh? But, not willing to leave well enough alone, he hastened to add:

    But U.S. and Israeli interests are not identical. They often collide, and when they do, U.S. interests must prevail. Moreover, we do not view the Sharon regime as “America’s best friend.”...

    Though we have said repeatedly that we admire much of what this president has done, he will not deserve re-election if he does not jettison the neoconservatives’ agenda of endless wars on the Islamic world that serve only the interests of a country other than the one he was elected to preserve and protect.
     
    Can you spot the blatent racist statement made by PB? He's clearly a racist because he insisted that US and Israel interests are not identical. What blasphemy!

    Before arriving at this conclusion, though, he had given this concise summary of the two opposing camps, the Israel-firsters vs. the America-firsters:

    Neocons say we attack them because they are Jewish. We do not. We attack them because their warmongering threatens our country, even as it finds a reliable echo in Ariel Sharon...

    We charge that a cabal of polemicists and public officials seek to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interests. We charge them with colluding with Israel to ignite those wars and destroy the Oslo Accords. We charge them with deliberately damaging U.S. relations with every state in the Arab world that defies Israel or supports the Palestinian people’s right to a homeland of their own. We charge that they have alienated friends and allies all over the Islamic and Western world through their arrogance, hubris, and bellicosity...

    They charge us with anti-Semitism—i.e., a hatred of Jews for their faith, heritage, or ancestry. False. The truth is, those hurling these charges harbor a “passionate attachment” to a nation not our own that causes them to subordinate the interests of their own country and to act on an assumption that, somehow, what’s good for Israel is good for America...
     
    There's that "t" word again. Good luck trying to convince ardent Zionists and their xian Zionist tools (esp. the PEA brain variety) about the veracity of that statement.

    He then provides the following details regarding the underlying motivation for the neocons policy of remaking the ME:

    President Bush had been warned. He was to exploit the attack of 9/11 to launch a series of wars on Arab regimes, none of which had attacked us. All, however, were enemies of Israel. “Bibi” Netanyahu, the former Prime Minister of Israel, like some latter-day Citizen Genet, was ubiquitous on American television, calling for us to crush the “Empire of Terror.” The “Empire,” it turns out, consisted of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Iraq, and “the Palestinian enclave.”

    Nasty as some of these regimes and groups might be, what had they done to the United States?...

    A list of the Middle East regimes that Podhoretz, Bennett, Ledeen, Netanyahu, and the Wall Street Journal regard as targets for destruction thus includes Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and “militant Islam.”

    Cui Bono? For whose benefit these endless wars in a region that holds nothing vital to America save oil, which the Arabs must sell us to survive? Who would benefit from a war of civilizations between the West and Islam?

    Answer: one nation, one leader, one party. Israel, Sharon, Likud.

    Indeed, Sharon has been everywhere the echo of his acolytes in America. In February 2003, Sharon told a delegation of Congressmen that, after Saddam’s regime is destroyed, it is of “vital importance” that the United States disarm Iran, Syria, and Libya.

    “We have a great interest in shaping the Middle East the day after” the war on Iraq, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Conference of Major American Jewish Organizations. After U.S. troops enter Baghdad, the United States must generate “political, economic, diplomatic pressure” on Tehran, Mofaz admonished the American Jews...

    What these neoconservatives seek is to conscript American blood to make the world safe for Israel. They want the peace of the sword imposed on Islam and American soldiers to die if necessary to impose it...

    The neocons seek American empire, and Sharonites seek hegemony over the Middle East. The two agendas coincide precisely. And though neocons insist that it was Sept. 11 that made the case for war on Iraq and militant Islam, the origins of their war plans go back far before.

    Your point, Sam is that if you swing a dead among the people in positions of power, you can't help but hit a good number of your countrymen; which we then use as confirmation bias for our arguments, however, neither Phil nor anyone else is making this point!

    The only point in the article is that if you were to swing the dead cat among the propaganda arm of the war machine, besides hitting mainly your countrymen, NONE of which would be against starting a war against Iran.

    [besides hitting mainly your countrymen, NONE of which would be against starting a war against Iran.]

    Quite right. All these agencies and senior positions are filled mainly by Americans.

    FYI commenters, we added an update to the article: "On the morning of September 21st Phil Giraldi was fired over the phone by The American Conservative, where he had been a regular contributor for fourteen years. He was told that "America's Jews Are Driving America's Wars" was unacceptable. The TAC management and board appear to have forgotten that the magazine was launched with an article by founder Pat Buchanan entitled "Whose War?" which largely made the same claims that Giraldi made about the Jewish push for another war, in that case with Iraq. Buchanan was vilified and called an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now going after Giraldi."

    Simply disgraceful.

    Henceforth, The American Conservative magazine should be disparagingly referred to as The American Cuckservative magazine, and boycotted by those of us who cherish the few brave souls who are willing to speak truth to power, no matter how offensive it is to those in power and their acolytes.

    Hey iffen,

    should never
     
    Is a fairly strong position to take. I think citizens should be vetted for the position based on their opinions and common sense evaluation to see if they would be biased. For instance a Moroccan Muslim might be a good fit to be an ambassador to, say, Malaysia. But possibly not if he has a Malaysian wife.

    If it is determined that one cannot find Muslim citizens that can be neutral with regard to any Muslim countries (due to their natural inclinations of a spiritual brotherhood) and cannot carry out their duties with a detached mindset that conforms to the policies of the government that they represent - then sure, Muslims shouldn't be ambassadors to other Muslim countries. Especially if they are using their position to benefit the other country to the detriment of the US. I don't see that as a problem.

    Peace.

    If it is determined that one cannot find Muslim citizens that can be neutral with regard to any Muslim countries (due to their natural inclinations of a spiritual brotherhood)

    I think that you see the problem that I envisage.

    Should Cuban-Americans have any input into policy regarding Cuba? Should Mexican-Americans be considered reliable with regard to Mexico and immigration issues? Should Gary Locke have been allowed to serve as ambassador to China? Can white judges be relied upon when the victim is white and the defendant is black?

    I rib people for being afraid of a slippery slope, but if this is not one then there is no such a thing.

    My question is why is it that only the Jews are questioned? Why not all the others?

    Hey iffen,

    I will wholeheartedly agree that this is potentially a slippery slope that has the potential for abuse. Unfortunately, if the system wasn't being abused now, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    My question is why is it that only the Jews are questioned?
     
    There are some people that would be accusing Jews of all sorts of vile things even while stamping with boots on the faces of their children. There is not much you can do about certain people - I'm not one of those*.

    However, as geokat brought up the issue of the "green men" calling for war in outer space...the issue is that Jewish people seem to have a problem in their community. Here is the problem (as I see it); the Jewish community has a disproportionate amount of influence on foreign policy - is there any doubt to this? Some of their elite are disproportionately involved in the decisions to go to war, make or break treaties, etc. And they have been putting us on a foreign policy track that the majority of Americans do not approve of and are sick and tired of. And they keep at it, relentlessly and will not leave nor admit being wrong or even mistaken.

    Now if, say, we had a bunch of ethnic Armenians ensconced in such high level positions who were constantly trying to get us into disastrous wars with Turkey or Azerbaijan or Iran in order to make sure Armenia remains top-dog in the region - or to help establish "Greater Armenia", then we would be having conversations about them. And any time you bring up the fact that a disproportionate percentage of them are involved in steering the ship of state towards icebergs, they bring up the Armenian Genocide to beat you down.

    So the problem - for people like me - are not Jews per se, but the fact that so many of their elite are involved in Neocon policy-making - and Mr. Ghiraldi named names and was fairly clear about which kind of Jews he was talking about. Why shouldn't these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?

    Now every community has a problem. My community certainly has one; our youth are disproportionately involved in terrorist acts in the world - we are constantly putting out statements disavowing people. Every time and incident happens all the Muslim orgs scramble to send out disavowal notices. We have to face up to this and try to do our part to figure out and prevent radicalization of our youth. That is our burden, but that's not going to get anywhere without us first acknowledging there is a problem that we have to own.

    That's not to say there aren't Jews out there trying to fight and expose the beast for what it is - they're just fairly marginalized. And it doesn't let the other non-Jewish Neocon voices off the hook either; I'm fairly sick and tired of men like Zalmay Khalilzad and other Muslims who want to use US power and influence to carry out nonsense imperial policies overseas.

    Peace.

    *In fact, if some people had their way in the West, there would be boatloads of Jews being shipped out regardless of guilt - and if people like me had ours, we'd open up the Muslim lands to resettle them as we had done historically.

    Well done, Phil! You must have got close enough to the mark!

    The main justified objection in my view is that your article talks solely about ‘Jews’ whereas a lot of commentators have pointed out that they’re Jewish but have nothing to do with ‘The Jews’. Perhaps you could think about adopting a ‘Big Jews’ / ‘Little Jews’ split? Or perhaps we could revive the term ‘Judea’ to refer to the collective global nation of Jews, of which Israelis are only a part.

    Dear Sam Shama,

    I suspect you want a point-by-point debate of your comment.
    Not gonna do it.
    That was one reason for the brief, unembroidered mention that Mukasey is Jewish: it's a simple, true (but pregnant) fact that provided a droll response to what I thought was an unhinged, almost hysterical rant. End of my investment in the discussion.

    You addressed Ron. Maybe he'll take the bait, but if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Phil highlighted geokat62's comment that shone a spotlight on your unintended, or subconscious proof that Phil's thesis is correct: you complained that discussion of Jewish involvement in America's wars was being conducted in a way that might cause harm to Jews. You harangued Ron for not being worried about Jews.

    geokat62 focused on the destructive aspect of the wars themselves, and on the reality that a million or more innocent people have died and entire states are in turmoil and ruin, for generations; that is the important reality to confront.

    You are worried about a hypothetical, older Jew in New York City being harmed by words typed by an anonymous, amorphous blogger.
    To borrow a phrase Frank Luntz might love, there does not seem to be a moral equivalence between your concerns and geokat62's.

    I really wasn't thinking about the "counting Jews" part of your comment: I guess you were focusing on a comparative head-count aspect, trying to make the point that a lot of the people who are behind decisions to go to war are not Jewish, and that is certainly true.

    But why is USA so entangled in that part of the world in the first place? See comments #783 and #846 http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/americas-jews-are-driving-americas-wars/#comment-2017858 : USA is involved in MENA because of fanatical Jabotinskyites who, at the Jonathan Institute in July 1979 rolled out the blueprint for the Global War on Terror.
    The Jonathan Institute was established to memorialize Jonathan Netanyahu, who died in the Israeli raid on Entebbe on July 4, 1976: the date was not a mere coincidence: Israelis believe that that raid on the day that USA was celebrating its 200th anniversary of independence was Israel's declaration of its status as co-equal guardian of "liberty and democracy." The July 1979 conference in Jerusalem documented that status.

    In July, 1979 the Shah was still in (tenuous) power in Iran; Iran was not a focus of the Conference -- Arafat and PLO were the major sources of 'terrorism.'

    However -- if you want to understand the complexity and intensity of Bibi's animus toward Iran, consider this scenario: Jonathan Netanyahu was Bibi's older brother and the apple of his father's eye. After his death Benzion worshipped his son like a martyr; in fact, Israel views Jonathan as a national hero-martyr; his collected letters have acquired the stature of Anne Frank's diary. Benjamin was studying at Columbia when Jonathan died; he left the USA and returned to Israel where he and his father set up the Jonathan Institute. There is also a shrine to Jonathan in Philadelphia, where the Netanyahus grew up. (It was also in Philadelphia -- in Independence Hall -- that the American Jewish Congress was formed in 1918.)

    Jonathan was wounded at Entebbe because he did something stupid. Ephraim Sneh was the medic on the Entebbe team; he failed to save Jonathan's life. Think about that: if you're the guy who presided over the death of Israel's major martyr, what do you do to redeem yourself? Sneh was elected to Knesset and became one of the earliest and most vocal and persistent critics of Iran. It was Sneh who introduced to the Knesset the notion that Iran's nuclear capabilities should be eradicated. All of these emotionally charged events bled into each other and dramatically shaped Bibi Netanyahu.

    It is fanciful to suppose that Netanyahu will change his stripes: he is psychologically bound to his crazy father, and Benzion Netanyahu was Jabotinsky's spokesperson and adroit political operative in NYC when Revisionist zionist steamrollered American Jewry. Bibi can as readily turn his back on that generational legacy as Eli Weisel could turn the holocaust museum into a sports bar.

    BTW Check out Mukasey's background. He fits the definition of 'fanatical Jabotinskyite.'

    “Benzion Netanyahu was Jabotinsky’s spokesperson and adroit political operative in NYC when Revisionist zionist steamrollered American Jewry.”
    Thank you for the important historical reference. This explains a lot about the madness of Bibi-land policies and about the stupidity of American Jews who follow the Piper, out of a sense of alleged ethnic superiority, towards the global (final) catastrophe, this time entirely self-inflicted. The Middle Eastern wars have produced some 4 million civilian deaths. Hundreds of thousands of the victims are children. The whole countries have been ruined following the PNAC blueprint. Time to convert the Eli-Weisel-Holocaust museums into the museums of de-Zionification.

    While other special interest groups – including ethnic lobbies representing Cuban Americans, Irish Americans, Armenian Americans, and Indian Americans – have managed to skew U.S. foreign policy in directions that they favored, no ethnic lobby has diverted that policy as far from what the American national interest would otherwise suggest. The Israel lobby has successfully convinced many Americans that American and Israeli interests are essentially identical. In fact, they are not.

    I keep seeing you mentioning Malaysia as a Muslim country, Talha. That’s really only a half truth.

    Malaysia is essentially British at the core, the government positions and GLCs are monopolised by the Malays and their coreligionists the Muslim Indians, while the private economy is run almost entirely by the Chinese, with abundant cheap labour provided by foreign workers from various impoverished Asian countries.

    There is a national slogan, ‘Satu Malaysia’ (one Malaysia) and more recently ‘Sehati Sejiwa’ (one heart, one soul) and both are patently false. I count, at minimum three Malaysias: The Malaysia of the Malays, the Malaysia of the Chinese, and the Malaysia of the foreign workers.

    So in this situation, pretty much any ambassador would have a conflict of interest!

    The people in power can label anyone antisemite and they have power to ruin someones reputation.

    "So Jews have to pay a penalty because they are better at lobbying than other groups?"

    Jewish and North European cultures are different. Jewish culture is more like south European culture. North European/protestant cultures are/were higher trust and less macho than south European cultures. so the salient point is the mixture of cultures; the effect of cultures on each other, and the backstory about why and how those cultures came to be mixed.

    That the number of comments on this thread is to approaching or exceed 500 (exceptional for this site), is a good demonstration of Israeli swarm tactics on the ‘net.
     
    What do you think? Are they Hasbara / Zionists or are they newly redpilled MSM readers who can't take the reality shake?

    Why would I thinking anything in paticular?

    A thousand replies is very unusual for an article on this site.

    Why do you think that may be?

    In any case, you posting as Anomymous, by alance of probaiity, sure, you are likely Zionist Jew or what you are calliing Hasbara.

    After spending the last 70 years wringing every last penny and drop of blood from their supposed enemies and persecutors, is it now the Jewish line that their very real sins and crimes are just lobbying? I hope social justice catches up with the Jewish collective, and I hope it is the bitch that they deserve.

    And before you start the anti-Semite crap, I'll admit that I despise Jewish culture, the Jewish collective, and Jewish power, and given the power, hatred towards others, and corrosiveness shot through all of it, I think that any Gentile who isn't an anti-Semite is either dishonest, stupid, or blind.

    All Americans are perfectly capable, in fact, rather good at lobbying for whatever cause/agenda motivates them. The real question, which Iffen has been asking, and you have skirted, remains the crucial one.

    I reiterate my position that while you condemn all Jews [manifestly diverse in their political philosophies] of "Israel firsting", your fallback position is girded by the writings of many Jews, while your cynical j'accuse! features exclusively Jews, no matter their stripe.

    I keep seeing you mentioning Malaysia as a Muslim country, Talha. That's really only a half truth.

    Malaysia is essentially British at the core, the government positions and GLCs are monopolised by the Malays and their coreligionists the Muslim Indians, while the private economy is run almost entirely by the Chinese, with abundant cheap labour provided by foreign workers from various impoverished Asian countries.

    There is a national slogan, 'Satu Malaysia' (one Malaysia) and more recently 'Sehati Sejiwa' (one heart, one soul) and both are patently false. I count, at minimum three Malaysias: The Malaysia of the Malays, the Malaysia of the Chinese, and the Malaysia of the foreign workers.

    So in this situation, pretty much any ambassador would have a conflict of interest!

    FYI commenters, we added an update to the article: "On the morning of September 21st Phil Giraldi was fired over the phone by The American Conservative, where he had been a regular contributor for fourteen years. He was told that "America's Jews Are Driving America's Wars" was unacceptable. The TAC management and board appear to have forgotten that the magazine was launched with an article by founder Pat Buchanan entitled "Whose War?" which largely made the same claims that Giraldi made about the Jewish push for another war, in that case with Iraq. Buchanan was vilified and called an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now going after Giraldi."

    Mr. Giraldi,

    THANKS for the important update.

    To reiterate a past comment, I am eager to read Pat Buchanan’s take on The American Conservative’s disgraceful deed. Please “be all you can be,” Patrick!

    Soviet Russia under Khrushchev only needed de-Stalinization. Much worse is the present US government plight. We desperately need de-Zionization and even elite Democrat Party stalwart Jews know President Trump “ain’t no Hitler.”

    May God bless your exposure of powerful institutional evil.

  979. @Jew boy
    Wow! Finally a voice of reason: Israel bad, Iran good. If Iran seeks Israel's extermination, why would that lead anyone to be against Khomeini?

    1. Khomeini died almost 30 years ago.

    2. Ever since Haman, Jews have performed the mental gymnastics of turning defense of one’s own nation/interests into “they want to exterminate da Joos.” Since Haman, Jews have defined themselves as the world’s victim. At the same time, Jews boast that THEY ‘survived’ but other ancient peoples have disappeared. Rather a contradiction, but as Gideon Levy pointed out in a conference in DC in 2015, the conflicting narrative is a pillar of Israeli society. It’s tiresome.

    3. Moreover, while he was still alive, and Iran was embroiled in a savage war with Iraq– goaded by US strategists like Zbigniew Brzezinski — Israel was fully engaged with Khomeini’s government in selling weapons to Iran.

    In “The Secret War with Iran,” Ronen Bergman explained the rationale for Israel’s practice of ‘supporting’ the Islamic Republic of Iran. Violating the embargo United States placed on selling weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, Israel’s Defense Ministry sold weapons to Iran, in secret, in Operation Seashell:

    ” ‘Operation Seashell . . .puts the later Iran-contra scandal to shame.
    There were four main reasons why Operation Seashell went forward.
    FIRST, Israel could not come to terms with the military, intelligence, and diplomatic losses that it had sustained with the disruption of relations with Iran after the revolution.

    [sidebar: As Niall Ferguson explained in his biography of the Rothschilds as well as in "The Ascent of Money," "the core function of institutions called banks was information gathering." ]

    Arms exports would at least give [Israel] a foothold in Tehran. In Israel’s defense establishment, the lesson had been learned . . . that swiftly supplying weaponry and military know-how to a . . .state will bring the supplier as close as possible to the rulers . . .

    Second, it was hoped that the infusion of weaponry would intensify the Iran-Iraq war and lead to the mutual destruction or, at least weakening, of two enemies.

    Third, Israeli officials feared a victorious Saddam Hussein.

    Finally, more than anything else, the weapons industry wanted to make money. As one Israeli Defense Ministry official, a key figure in Operation Seashell, recalls, “I do not remember even one discussion about the ethics of the matter. All that interested us was to sell, sell, sell more and more Israeli weapons, and let them kill each other with them.” ”

    It’s a good idea to keep these attitudes and practices in mind when considering the multiple forces that push for war in the Middle East and against Iran– including, not least, American Jews; and also the nature and real goals of JCPOA, what its real purposes were (i.e. to gain insider information in furtherance of acquiring dominance over banking/finance), and whether or not, or for what larger strategic purposes it will be abrogated.

    4. Given the murderous contempt expressed and carried out by Israelis against the Iranian people throughout the Iran-Iraq war, Yossi Alpher’s more recent explanation of the attitude “most Israelis” hold toward Iran is breathtakingly arrogant and hypocritical. In discussing his book on Israel’s search for new “periphery partners,” Alpher confided to Bruce Reidel that so many Israelis who “go back to the time of the Shah” still have “periphery nostalgia:”

    “There are still very senior Israelis . . . who believe to this day that the Islamic Republic is an aberration and a temporary one, and if you somehow push the right military or sanctions button or whatever, they will fall and the good guys will come back to power.

    . . .

    We Israelis, again, back to that isolation — we Israelis, to this day, have a need to — a deep need to be recognized and accepted by the region. You see, Bibi’s demand, which is supported by most Israelis, that the Palestinians recognize us as a Jewish state, or the state of the Jewish people — the nation-state of the Jewish people — this goes way back, this need to be recognized. . . .

    [A]t the height of the periphery doctrine, when things are going well, there’s this sense that the ancient peoples of the Middle East have created an alliance, the people who precede the Arabs, okay. We go back with Iran, we just celebrated Purim, all right, we go back 2,600 years with Iran. The Egyptian, the Ethiopian national narrative is King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. So, this is almost a biblical — a new biblical chapter.

    This is how some people in Israel felt. . . .Everybody in Tehran and in Addis and in Ankara — They did not reciprocate. They said, we kidded ourselves that they did. And we still do to this day, because if you believe that — we are somehow Middle Eastern, ancient blood brothers, then who’s Khomeini? This wasn’t meant to be.

    Think of the complexities that zionists/Jews have created for themselves, when Polish and Lithuanian Jews, having planted Berlin-on-the-Mediterranean, shrink with horror from their ancient Semitic roots, as expressed in this epigraph to Gil Eyal’s “The Disenchantment of the Orient” –

    At the end of every Hebrew sentence that you utter,
    There sits an Arab, smoking his hookah,
    Even if it begun in Siberia,
    Or in Hollywood, with Hava Nagilah.
    -Me’ir Ariel

    while clinging to those same Semitic – Abrahamic roots that marked them as “Chosen” and conveyed to them title to that plot of land where they transplanted their European fantasy-utopia, and simultaneously persuading themselves that they are “blood brothers” to the Persian empire, per Yossi Alpher.

    Now, realize that in exchange for a few pieces of silver, US legislators give to these deeply identity-conflicted people access to information as well as the most sophisticated weapons in the world, and that they have more nuclear weapons than anybody knows about, and Kim Jong-Un begins to look like a model partner: at least Kim knows who he is and what his cultural roots are.

    “…at least Kim knows who he is and what his cultural roots are.” – As compared to ziocons who pleasure themselves with the idea of “choseness” and other ridiculous “most moral” and “most victimized” stuff. The stuff has been falling apart, along with the unraveling of the global tragedy.
    Voltaire wrote about the Jews: ”They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.” http://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/30/books/l-voltaire-and-the-jews-590990.html
    Voltaire was exaggerating by assigning the “raging fanaticism” to all of them, and yet it seems that Voltaire’s writing for prophetic with regard to the deadliness of the self-selected “chosen” to the human race.

    Here is Michael ledeen, an influental American ziocon: “Stability is an unworthy American mission, and a misleading concept to boot. We do not want stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia; we want things to change. The real issue is not whether, but how to destabilize.” [Wall Street Journal, 9/4/2002] http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=michael_ledeen
    Ledeen is a pride of the American Enterprise Institute and a founder and former member of the Board of Advisors of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.

    Wolfowitz: “Paul Wolfowitz, the neoconservative undersecretary of policy for Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, promotes the export of advanced AIM-9M air-to-air missiles to Israel. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, aware that Israel has already been caught selling an earlier version of the AIM missile to China in violation of a written agreement between Israel and the US, intervenes to stop the missile sales. Wolfowitz retains his position at the Defense Department until he and most of his neoconservative colleagues are turned out of the federal government by the onset of the Clinton administration.” [COUNTERPUNCH, 2/28/2004]

    Perle: “On October 1970, an FBI wiretap at the Israeli Embassy in Washington picks up Richard Perle, an aide to Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, discussing classified information with an Israeli official. This is the second time Perle has been involved in providing classified information to Israel (see Late 1969).

    Perle and Wolfowitz: “In 1973, Richard Perle, a senior staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee and an aide to Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, uses his position to help fellow neoconservative Paul Wolfowitz gain a position with the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA). Neoconservatives such as Perle and Wolfowitz do not believe in either arms control or disarmament (see 1965 and August 15, 1974). In 2004, author Stephen Green will write, “Wolfowitz also brought to ACDA a strong attachment to Israel’s security, and a certain confusion about his obligation to US national security.” [COUNTERPUNCH, 2/28/2004]
    Voltaire was right.

    Giraldi is and has been spot on for years. Israel poses the greatest threat to We the People that we have ever seen. From their attack on the USS Liberty, to their involvement in 911, to their spying apparatus, their training of American police compliments of the ADL and JINSA, and operation Talpiot where all of America’s high technology is being stolen by Israel, and is being set up to be used against our military in an upcoming false flag that will be used to attack Iran. Make no mistake about it: The terrorist state of Israel is setting up the US for a Bolshevik 2.0, and not only is Trump complicit, he has surrounded himself with these demons who have proven over and over again that their loyalties lie with Israel, not you and me. As if all of this isn’t bad enough, we have a corrupted Congress with 26 dual US/Israeli citizens and number of pedophiles who are being blackmailed by said terrorist state. (Lindsey Graham and John McCain being at the top of that list).
    The bottom line is if we don’t wake up and wake up fast, and if our military stays as ignorant and unwilling to stop all these unconstitutional wars for the benefit of the worlds worst pariah/ terrorist state, the future is bleak, and the control these fake Jews have over the monetary system through the fed will only exacerbate the problems that these other circumstances represent.
    It’s all by design y’all and make no mistake about it, China and Russia are all the way in on what’s coming about for the good ol USofA.

    I'm really much too busy with my software work to waste any time on all this nonsense, any more than I would be willing to argue with some kindergarteners who dispute whether the clear sky is really blue. But I got a little curious about the dozen or more MSM stories regarding the controversy, and glancing at a few of them that topped the list at Google News, I noticed something quite telling.

    Offhand I'd say that Valerie Plame is probably about the most famous undercover CIA agent in American history, and during the 2000s her name was regularly on the the front pages. Even this past year, I've seen her occasionally mentioned in my morning NYT/WSJ. And we have someone of such reasonable prominence sending out an utterly explosive Tweet with the headline "America's Jews Are Driving America's Wars," then backtracking an hour or two later under massive pressure and apologizing. That certainly seems like a pretty major story.

    Yet the coverage was almost entirely confined to second- or mostly third-rank media outlets, with virtually no significant journalists or foreign policy figures seeming to provide any critical quotes and almost all the shrill attacks I saw coming from people whom I'd never heard of. The only prominent public critics I noticed were Alan Dershowitz and Marc Levin, both especially fanatic Jewish Neocons. And not a single word got into the NYT, the WSJ, or any other top-tier mainstream news outlet.

    The obvious explanation of such remarkable silence is that roughly 100% of all the serious foreign policy experts and journalists know perfectly well that Plame and Giraldi were absolutely correct, and don't want to have all their friends laughing at them if they publicly claim otherwise. Perhaps they're also a bit concerned about putting statements on the record that might place them in front of a hangman's noose a bit down the road.

    Anyway, I need to return to my software and let all of you get back to arguing about whether or not the sky is blue...

    The obvious explanation of such remarkable silence is that roughly 100% of all the serious foreign policy experts and journalists know perfectly well that Plame and Giraldi were absolutely correct, and don’t want to have all their friends laughing at them if they publicly claim otherwise.

    Wow, what a nutty explanation of media silence! By this logic, whenever the mainstream media covers something critically (e.g. James Damore’s Google memo, Jason Richwine’s dissertation, Trump’s proposed Muslim ban), the mainstream media view must be right, or else they wouldn’t cover it!

    By this reasoning—”anyone who studies this issue knows that the controversial conclusion is true, so the media won’t cover it to avoid embarrassment”—one should be free (even as an allegedly notable figure like Plume) to say anything one wishes about the simple facts of the links between race and IQ, because the media would be too afraid of embarrassment to mention the topic!

    I think the rather more obvious explanation of the “silence” is that it isn’t remarkable at all—Plume is simply not a very notable figure, and her tweeting of a somewhat controversial article from a relatively fringe outlet is hardly a front-page, stop the presses story. (I strongly suspect that if a genuinely notable figure, say Paul Ryan or Andrew Cuomo, made an entire speech making the same factual claims Mr. Giraldi makes in this article, the mainstream media would indeed cover it.)

    Iffen-iffen,

    Like the-late JFK and RFK desired long ago, AIPAC should be registered as an agent of a foreign government.

    (Sigh) Get on the ball!

    Under AIPAC sway, US legislators and the president betrayed all norms of "pursuit of justice" and refused to lobby for a real 9/11 crime investigation.

    Even you should be capable of understanding that Jewish owned US legislators & presidents tend to especially LIKE you because they did not have to spend a "bundle" in exchange for your reliable stupidity.

    It is all really simple, iffen-iffen, that is once you let the dense Hasbara fog lift.

    (Sigh)

    Alas, for now, you remain self-ideologically blinded and there's no D.C.-based
    pool of Siloam lobbying for you!

    hilarious that Mr. G exposed the vile duplicity of this 'I'm not a Jew!!!' person, who goes around relentlessly insisting that it's not "dem Jews" who wield power, and it's unacceptable to point it out when it is 'dem Jews'

    but then exposes his own trite attempt at guile by admitting that anyone who tells the truth about Jewish power is excommunicated post haste.

    it's like when CNN news anchor Rick Sanchez mentioned Jews run the network, he was canned on the spot, proving that yes, Jews do own and run the networks, and will suffer no criticism as such.

    but you have these pathetic shills running around demanding that there's no consolidated Jewish identity politics at CNN or other (obviously Jewish owned and dominated) networks, and that Jewish ownership and control has ZERO!! to do with any content or any reporting on Israel/Palestine or the serial wars America is forced to fight on behalf of Israel, and any suggestion that it (Jewish ownership) does, it nothing less than the ranting of hatred-consumed Nazis and anti-Semites!!!!

    by their actions, like firing Mr. G from TAC, they only prove how right he is!

    Mr. G, like Joseph Sobran, and so many, many others, simply posses too much integrity as men of character to participate in the shabby fraud, and refuse to bleat the platitudes about the 'emperor's fine and flowing raiment - that one must never, never mention 'dem Jews'.

    And the paradigm that they've set up carefully over generations is to equate any criticism of the actions of some Jews, as a criticism of ALL Jews everywhere, as if because of the Holocaust, all Jews everywhere are immune to any criticism- because they're Jews. Which doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room when it's *obvious* that many Jews who own our media or dominate our financial system - use that power to help other Jews gain power and privilege and position, and often steer our ship of state in ways that are harmful for non-Jews. But you're not allowed to point that out. And if you do, it can only mean you're a closet Himmler who wants to gas all Jews.

    So it's like a pressure cooker, where the outrages of some Jews can never be pointed out, until it simmers and roils under the surface. And one day explodes on the scene, as it did in Germany and other places in history.

    why not just have an honest conversation about Jewish power, and give them credit when they deserve it, and criticism when it's valid?

    Excellent observation Mr. Unz. It’s difficult to bring myself to comment on Phil’s excellent articles due to their immediate descent into sub-logical squabbling between antisemitic monomaniacs and the usual Hasbara robots. The threads grow long enough to see Theseus through a Luxembourg sized labyrinth. What’s the point commenting on a thread consisting of dolts debating not with the article, but with each other? I hope Phil Geraldi knows that these commenters do not represent the commonality of his readers.

    Solzhenitsyn explained in 200 yrs together that The Protocols as such were fake, produced by Tsarist government department.

    Not true. Solzhenitsyn did not render a judgment on The Protocols authenticity. Though yes he does not belief in the existence of “the Elders of the Zion.” Actually what does authenticity of the Protocols really mean is entirely different question. What matters is the insight and predictive power of the Protocols which many other post fact hoaxes do not have. The Protocols appeared long before the Bolshevik Revolution on can be judged on the accuracy of predicting the system in Soviet Union. Solzhenitsyn was actually so impressed with how savvy were the Protocols in terms of modern concept of sociology, psychology and social engineering that he doubted that they could have been procured by Okhrana. He wrote

    “The Protocols … show a blueprint of a social system. Its design is well above abilities of an ordinary mind, including that of its publisher. It is a dynamic process of two stages, of destabilization, increasing freedom and liberalism, which is terminated in social cataclysm, and on the second stage, new hierarchical restructuring of society takes place. It is more complicated than a nuclear bomb. It could be a stolen and distorted plan designed by a mind of genius. Its putrid style of an anti-Semitic grubby brochure [intentionally] obscures the great strength of thought and insight”.

    @Philip Giraldi
    FYI commenters, we added an update to the article: "On the morning of September 21st Phil Giraldi was fired over the phone by The American Conservative, where he had been a regular contributor for fourteen years. He was told that "America's Jews Are Driving America's Wars" was unacceptable. The TAC management and board appear to have forgotten that the magazine was launched with an article by founder Pat Buchanan entitled "Whose War?" which largely made the same claims that Giraldi made about the Jewish push for another war, in that case with Iraq. Buchanan was vilified and called an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now going after Giraldi."

    Buchanan was vilified and called an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now going after Giraldi.”

    Well, if someone wrote an essay that concluded with this paragraph, it’s easy to see why they would accuse him of being an anti-Semite:

    Let us conclude. The Israeli people are America’s friends and have a right to peace and secure borders. We should help them secure these rights. As a nation, we have made a moral commitment, endorsed by half a dozen presidents, which Americans wish to honor, not to permit these people who have suffered much to see their country overrun and destroyed. And we must honor this commitment.

    Pretty racist stuff, huh? But, not willing to leave well enough alone, he hastened to add:

    But U.S. and Israeli interests are not identical. They often collide, and when they do, U.S. interests must prevail. Moreover, we do not view the Sharon regime as “America’s best friend.”…

    Though we have said repeatedly that we admire much of what this president has done, he will not deserve re-election if he does not jettison the neoconservatives’ agenda of endless wars on the Islamic world that serve only the interests of a country other than the one he was elected to preserve and protect.

    Can you spot the blatent racist statement made by PB? He’s clearly a racist because he insisted that US and Israel interests are not identical. What blasphemy!

    Before arriving at this conclusion, though, he had given this concise summary of the two opposing camps, the Israel-firsters vs. the America-firsters:

    Neocons say we attack them because they are Jewish. We do not. We attack them because their warmongering threatens our country, even as it finds a reliable echo in Ariel Sharon…

    We charge that a cabal of polemicists and public officials seek to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interests. We charge them with colluding with Israel to ignite those wars and destroy the Oslo Accords. We charge them with deliberately damaging U.S. relations with every state in the Arab world that defies Israel or supports the Palestinian people’s right to a homeland of their own. We charge that they have alienated friends and allies all over the Islamic and Western world through their arrogance, hubris, and bellicosity…

    They charge us with anti-Semitism—i.e., a hatred of Jews for their faith, heritage, or ancestry. False. The truth is, those hurling these charges harbor a “passionate attachment” to a nation not our own that causes them to subordinate the interests of their own country and to act on an assumption that, somehow, what’s good for Israel is good for America…

    There’s that “t” word again. Good luck trying to convince ardent Zionists and their xian Zionist tools (esp. the PEA brain variety) about the veracity of that statement.

    He then provides the following details regarding the underlying motivation for the neocons policy of remaking the ME:

    President Bush had been warned. He was to exploit the attack of 9/11 to launch a series of wars on Arab regimes, none of which had attacked us. All, however, were enemies of Israel. “Bibi” Netanyahu, the former Prime Minister of Israel, like some latter-day Citizen Genet, was ubiquitous on American television, calling for us to crush the “Empire of Terror.” The “Empire,” it turns out, consisted of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Iraq, and “the Palestinian enclave.”

    Nasty as some of these regimes and groups might be, what had they done to the United States?…

    A list of the Middle East regimes that Podhoretz, Bennett, Ledeen, Netanyahu, and the Wall Street Journal regard as targets for destruction thus includes Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and “militant Islam.”

    Cui Bono? For whose benefit these endless wars in a region that holds nothing vital to America save oil, which the Arabs must sell us to survive? Who would benefit from a war of civilizations between the West and Islam?

    Answer: one nation, one leader, one party. Israel, Sharon, Likud.

    Indeed, Sharon has been everywhere the echo of his acolytes in America. In February 2003, Sharon told a delegation of Congressmen that, after Saddam’s regime is destroyed, it is of “vital importance” that the United States disarm Iran, Syria, and Libya.

    “We have a great interest in shaping the Middle East the day after” the war on Iraq, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Conference of Major American Jewish Organizations. After U.S. troops enter Baghdad, the United States must generate “political, economic, diplomatic pressure” on Tehran, Mofaz admonished the American Jews…

    What these neoconservatives seek is to conscript American blood to make the world safe for Israel. They want the peace of the sword imposed on Islam and American soldiers to die if necessary to impose it…

    The neocons seek American empire, and Sharonites seek hegemony over the Middle East. The two agendas coincide precisely. And though neocons insist that it was Sept. 11 that made the case for war on Iraq and militant Islam, the origins of their war plans go back far before.

    Their minions, commenting on this site, have tried to misrepresent your article as saying that you are singling them out, when you plainly said:


    "To be sure, the urging to strike Iran comes from many quarters, to include generals in the Administration who always think first in terms of settling problems through force, from a Saudi government obsessed with fear over Iranian hegemony, and, of course, from Israel itself. But what makes the war engine run is provided by [not "the" but quite plainly] American Jews who have taken upon themselves the onerous task of starting a war with a country that does not conceivably threaten the United States."
     
    People which you then proceed to name in the next paragraphs ! That makes it pretty clear that you're obviously talking about a sub-set of people!

    In order to discredit your argument, someone was even trying to make the absurd point that Iran is not actually being threatened ! Meaning, that you're making up the Iran war thereat in order to singls out Jews for derision. Their other line of approach was to ask why you're picking on Jews just because they just happen to occupy positions of power. You have to love their glaring inconsistency there, because if we accept this line of argument that, of course there are lots of Jews in position of power because they are so capable, then considering the results of our ME misadventures over the last decades, their self-admited over-representation may justifiably be brouhght up for our scorn.

    We will not have heard the last of this saga, but I sincerely hope your article may help foil the evil plot which is afoot.

    It seems that you are giving conflicting views regarding free speech. Is it bland or do the David Irvings get their platform? Should Giraldi have received a pink slip from TAC?

    I was hoping that you would address the JQ within the purview of what you wrote here:

    I’m referring generally to the problem we normally avoid thinking about when we have competing values which draws close to having to qualify near absolute values.
     

    [Too many typos.]

    Well I do pride myself in eing willing to bight the bullet when necessary ans I would say yes to the David Irving visa for Australia but probably not for South Pacific nationscif he was being sponsored by tran to to rpund picking up UN votes against Israel by telling them that Israel was founded on systematic lies…

    PG getting the pink slip, if true, is as outrageous as John O’Sillinan’s and John Derbyshire’s from the NR.

    I have only just discovered the urban dictionary definition of JQ and my first response is that the simple minded who infest blogs and who are likely to tell you that the Rothschilds are Zionists who own all the central banks would be a bigger problem for modern civilisation if they had two IQ points to rub together.

    On the contrary; "Troll" signifies the user disdaining to read a post. Yet you did read it and precisely as I expected found the Jew!

    Thus if I listed the hundreds of names in the State Department and other agencies, staffers and decision makers, high and low, who supported the neocon agenda, you would unfailingly pursue your single-minded cause of discovering the Jew. That was my point. Very little else matters for you, Geokat and Giraldi.

    Under AIPAC sway, US legislators and the president betrayed all norms of “pursuit of justice” and refused to lobby for a real 9/11 crime investigation.

    Thanks Phil for your noble effort in trying to prevent this absurd war with Iran from happening by drawing attention to the agitators, who are the usual suspects.

    Their minions, commenting on this site, have tried to misrepresent your article as saying that you are singling them out, when you plainly said:

    “To be sure, the urging to strike Iran comes from many quarters, to include generals in the Administration who always think first in terms of settling problems through force, from a Saudi government obsessed with fear over Iranian hegemony, and, of course, from Israel itself. But what makes the war engine run is provided by [not "the" but quite plainly] American Jews who have taken upon themselves the onerous task of starting a war with a country that does not conceivably threaten the United States.”

    Iran or Charlottesville, it's Jewish Supremacism in action.

    Israel has nukes and no inspections. Israel stole US secrets. US carried out USS Liberty attack. Israel worked with Pollard to sell US secrets to the Soviets. During the Cold War, Jews slipped Stalin the secret of the Bomb. Neocon Jews instigated all these wars that have destroyed so much.
    BUT we are supposed to pretend Iran is the great terrorist aggressor while Israel is a this poor beleaguered state. And Jewish Neocons, the top warmongers of the world, get to play the role of 'human rights' champions.

    In Charlottesville, white patriots assembled legally under US laws. Jewish mayor violated their rights. Police turned on them. The state let Antifa thugs attack Alt Right people.
    But Alt Right is 'nazi' and 'terrorist' and the aggressors. Meanwhile, even the loathsome Antifa scum are lionized as heroes akin to US soldiers who stormed Normandy.

    Iranians and whites have been Palestinianized. In a way, whites deserve some of this. Why? Palestinians never did them any wrong, but whites aided Zionist destruction of Palestine and laughed at all those Palestinians living under tyranny. Poetic justice. Whites who mocked Palestinians in their service to Jewish Power are now being Palestinianized by the same Jews.

    access to universities and government positions – they are a separate race, deserving of special status
    within Israel – they are white and all of a sudden proudly European, and disgusted by immigrants
    when seeking upscale housing and social status benefits, they are 110% white.
    when denouncing American Nationalists, they are a separate race of wise and learned individuals
    when supporting unrestricted immigration in the US, they are white people with a conscious

    @SolontoCroesus
    1. Khomeini died almost 30 years ago.

    2. Ever since Haman, Jews have performed the mental gymnastics of turning defense of one's own nation/interests into "they want to exterminate da Joos." Since Haman, Jews have defined themselves as the world's victim. At the same time, Jews boast that THEY 'survived' but other ancient peoples have disappeared. Rather a contradiction, but as Gideon Levy pointed out in a conference in DC in 2015, the conflicting narrative is a pillar of Israeli society. It's tiresome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFQWU0DtbGA

    3. Moreover, while he was still alive, and Iran was embroiled in a savage war with Iraq-- goaded by US strategists like Zbigniew Brzezinski -- Israel was fully engaged with Khomeini's government in selling weapons to Iran.

    In "The Secret War with Iran," Ronen Bergman explained the rationale for Israel's practice of 'supporting' the Islamic Republic of Iran. Violating the embargo United States placed on selling weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, Israel's Defense Ministry sold weapons to Iran, in secret, in Operation Seashell:


    " 'Operation Seashell . . .puts the later Iran-contra scandal to shame.
    There were four main reasons why Operation Seashell went forward.
    FIRST, Israel could not come to terms with the military, intelligence, and diplomatic losses that it had sustained with the disruption of relations with Iran after the revolution.

    [sidebar: As Niall Ferguson explained in his biography of the Rothschilds as well as in "The Ascent of Money," "the core function of institutions called banks was information gathering." ]

    Arms exports would at least give [Israel] a foothold in Tehran. In Israel's defense establishment, the lesson had been learned . . . that swiftly supplying weaponry and military know-how to a . . .state will bring the supplier as close as possible to the rulers . . .

    Second, it was hoped that the infusion of weaponry would intensify the Iran-Iraq war and lead to the mutual destruction or, at least weakening, of two enemies.

    Third, Israeli officials feared a victorious Saddam Hussein.

    Finally, more than anything else, the weapons industry wanted to make money. As one Israeli Defense Ministry official, a key figure in Operation Seashell, recalls, "I do not remember even one discussion about the ethics of the matter. All that interested us was to sell, sell, sell more and more Israeli weapons, and let them kill each other with them." "
     

    It's a good idea to keep these attitudes and practices in mind when considering the multiple forces that push for war in the Middle East and against Iran-- including, not least, American Jews; and also the nature and real goals of JCPOA, what its real purposes were (i.e. to gain insider information in furtherance of acquiring dominance over banking/finance), and whether or not, or for what larger strategic purposes it will be abrogated.

    4. Given the murderous contempt expressed and carried out by Israelis against the Iranian people throughout the Iran-Iraq war, Yossi Alpher's more recent explanation of the attitude "most Israelis" hold toward Iran is breathtakingly arrogant and hypocritical. In discussing his book on Israel's search for new "periphery partners," Alpher confided to Bruce Reidel that so many Israelis who "go back to the time of the Shah" still have "periphery nostalgia:"


    "There are still very senior Israelis . . . who believe to this day that the Islamic Republic is an aberration and a temporary one, and if you somehow push the right military or sanctions button or whatever, they will fall and the good guys will come back to power.

    . . .

    We Israelis, again, back to that isolation -- we Israelis, to this day, have a need to -- a deep need to be recognized and accepted by the region. You see, Bibi’s demand, which is supported by most Israelis, that the Palestinians recognize us as a Jewish state, or the state of the Jewish people -- the nation-state of the Jewish people -- this goes way back, this need to be recognized. . . .

    [A]t the height of the periphery doctrine, when things are going well, there’s this sense that the ancient peoples of the Middle East have created an alliance, the people who precede the Arabs, okay. We go back with Iran, we just celebrated Purim, all right, we go back 2,600 years with Iran. The Egyptian, the Ethiopian national narrative is King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. So, this is almost a biblical -- a new biblical chapter.

    This is how some people in Israel felt. . . .Everybody in Tehran and in Addis and in Ankara --- They did not reciprocate. They said, we kidded ourselves that they did. And we still do to this day, because if you believe that -- we are somehow Middle Eastern, ancient blood brothers, then who’s Khomeini? This wasn’t meant to be.
     

    Think of the complexities that zionists/Jews have created for themselves, when Polish and Lithuanian Jews, having planted Berlin-on-the-Mediterranean, shrink with horror from their ancient Semitic roots, as expressed in this epigraph to Gil Eyal's "The Disenchantment of the Orient" --

    At the end of every Hebrew sentence that you utter,
    There sits an Arab, smoking his hookah,
    Even if it begun in Siberia,
    Or in Hollywood, with Hava Nagilah.
    -Me'ir Ariel

    while clinging to those same Semitic - Abrahamic roots that marked them as "Chosen" and conveyed to them title to that plot of land where they transplanted their European fantasy-utopia, and simultaneously persuading themselves that they are "blood brothers" to the Persian empire, per Yossi Alpher.

    Now, realize that in exchange for a few pieces of silver, US legislators give to these deeply identity-conflicted people access to information as well as the most sophisticated weapons in the world, and that they have more nuclear weapons than anybody knows about, and Kim Jong-Un begins to look like a model partner: at least Kim knows who he is and what his cultural roots are.

    “…at least Kim knows who he is and what his cultural roots are.” – As compared to ziocons who pleasure themselves with the idea of “choseness” and other ridiculous “most moral” and “most victimized” stuff. The stuff has been falling apart, along with the unraveling of the global tragedy.
    Voltaire wrote about the Jews: ”They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.” http://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/30/books/l-voltaire-and-the-jews-590990.html
    Voltaire was exaggerating by assigning the “raging fanaticism” to all of them, and yet it seems that Voltaire’s writing for prophetic with regard to the deadliness of the self-selected “chosen” to the human race.

    Here is Michael ledeen, an influental American ziocon: “Stability is an unworthy American mission, and a misleading concept to boot. We do not want stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia; we want things to change. The real issue is not whether, but how to destabilize.” [Wall Street Journal, 9/4/2002] http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=michael_ledeen
    Ledeen is a pride of the American Enterprise Institute and a founder and former member of the Board of Advisors of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.

    Wolfowitz: “Paul Wolfowitz, the neoconservative undersecretary of policy for Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, promotes the export of advanced AIM-9M air-to-air missiles to Israel. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, aware that Israel has already been caught selling an earlier version of the AIM missile to China in violation of a written agreement between Israel and the US, intervenes to stop the missile sales. Wolfowitz retains his position at the Defense Department until he and most of his neoconservative colleagues are turned out of the federal government by the onset of the Clinton administration.” [COUNTERPUNCH, 2/28/2004]

    Perle: “On October 1970, an FBI wiretap at the Israeli Embassy in Washington picks up Richard Perle, an aide to Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, discussing classified information with an Israeli official. This is the second time Perle has been involved in providing classified information to Israel (see Late 1969).

    Perle and Wolfowitz: “In 1973, Richard Perle, a senior staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee and an aide to Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, uses his position to help fellow neoconservative Paul Wolfowitz gain a position with the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA). Neoconservatives such as Perle and Wolfowitz do not believe in either arms control or disarmament (see 1965 and August 15, 1974). In 2004, author Stephen Green will write, “Wolfowitz also brought to ACDA a strong attachment to Israel’s security, and a certain confusion about his obligation to US national security.” [COUNTERPUNCH, 2/28/2004]

    Listen you green toothed oompa loompa, it would help if you could afford to hire someone to explain things to you. He said he couldn't call them neo-cons because they did not self-identify as neo-cons. My point was that they are neo-cons so why not call them that. Why go the Jew route to engender attaboys from people like you.

    Hey iffen-iffen,

    I like to mock you via several ways to which you foolishly let yourself open.

    While you’re on the subject of calling entities / people by accurate names, I have a question.

    What the iffen-fuck is an “iffen”? Who are you?

    (Sigh) Tell me, by chance, is “iffen” the Hebrew translation for dupe? Hmm.. To say asshole in Russian, they say “DOO-PAH.”

    Maybe your multi linguist ventriloquist Sam The Sham really knows “iffen” means dupe / doo-pah and he’s yet to break the bad news to you? (Sigh) After neo-con prayer time’s up, maybe The Sham will slither down from the rafters and proclaim what is the dismal meaning of “iffen.”

    Speaking of the Ashkenazi, they are white only when its convenient and to their advantage
    access to universities and government positions - they are a separate race, deserving of special status
    within Israel - they are white and all of a sudden proudly European, and disgusted by immigrants
    when seeking upscale housing and social status benefits, they are 110% white.
    when denouncing American Nationalists, they are a separate race of wise and learned individuals
    when supporting unrestricted immigration in the US, they are white people with a conscious
    when applying for welfare benefits in New jersey and New York, completely separate race and oppressed minority,

    They are chameleons that manipulate every other group they interact act with.
    They are the wolf in sheep's clothing

    Speaking of the Ashkenazi, they are white only when its convenient and to their advantage
    access to universities and government positions

    It’s like Mexicans and being ‘American’.

    Mexicans in the US will often say they are NOT American as it means ‘gringo’ or ‘yanqui imperialist’. They are proudly Mexican.
    But if say they should go back to Mexico, they say “I’m just as American as you, bro.”

    Thanks Phil for your noble effort in trying to prevent this absurd war with Iran from happening by drawing attention to the agitators, who are the usual suspects.

    Their minions, commenting on this site, have tried to misrepresent your article as saying that you are singling them out, when you plainly said:


    "To be sure, the urging to strike Iran comes from many quarters, to include generals in the Administration who always think first in terms of settling problems through force, from a Saudi government obsessed with fear over Iranian hegemony, and, of course, from Israel itself. But what makes the war engine run is provided by [not "the" but quite plainly] American Jews who have taken upon themselves the onerous task of starting a war with a country that does not conceivably threaten the United States."
     
    People which you then proceed to name in the next paragraphs ! That makes it pretty clear that you're obviously talking about a sub-set of people!

    In order to discredit your argument, someone was even trying to make the absurd point that Iran is not actually being threatened ! Meaning, that you're making up the Iran war thereat in order to singls out Jews for derision. Their other line of approach was to ask why you're picking on Jews just because they just happen to occupy positions of power. You have to love their glaring inconsistency there, because if we accept this line of argument that, of course there are lots of Jews in position of power because they are so capable, then considering the results of our ME misadventures over the last decades, their self-admited over-representation may justifiably be brouhght up for our scorn.

    We will not have heard the last of this saga, but I sincerely hope your article may help foil the evil plot which is afoot.

    Thanks Phil for your noble effort in trying to prevent this absurd war with Iran from happening by drawing attention to the agitators, who are the usual suspects.

    Iran or Charlottesville, it’s Jewish Supremacism in action.

    Israel has nukes and no inspections. Israel stole US secrets. US carried out USS Liberty attack. Israel worked with Pollard to sell US secrets to the Soviets. During the Cold War, Jews slipped Stalin the secret of the Bomb. Neocon Jews instigated all these wars that have destroyed so much.
    BUT we are supposed to pretend Iran is the great terrorist aggressor while Israel is a this poor beleaguered state. And Jewish Neocons, the top warmongers of the world, get to play the role of ‘human rights’ champions.

    In Charlottesville, white patriots assembled legally under US laws. Jewish mayor violated their rights. Police turned on them. The state let Antifa thugs attack Alt Right people.
    But Alt Right is ‘nazi’ and ‘terrorist’ and the aggressors. Meanwhile, even the loathsome Antifa scum are lionized as heroes akin to US soldiers who stormed Normandy.

    Iranians and whites have been Palestinianized. In a way, whites deserve some of this. Why? Palestinians never did them any wrong, but whites aided Zionist destruction of Palestine and laughed at all those Palestinians living under tyranny. Poetic justice. Whites who mocked Palestinians in their service to Jewish Power are now being Palestinianized by the same Jews.

    It's easy (rhetorical) virtue to say, "We've got your back, Phil," so in an effort at a bit more authenticity (hell, I'm still basically a coward),

    How can we "have your back," Phil?

    --> contribute to CNI http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/americas-jews-are-driving-americas-wars/#comment-2018000
    or to some other organizations/groups with whom your point of view coalesces?

    --> form small groups of Unz Forum habitués to host events, from the salon/living room level to our churches and libraries, where sound information can be presented?

    --> if more of us come out of the closet, put our own "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" on the line, as you have?
    We've seen all sorts of groups come "out of the closet." How about those of us who truly believe in "America First," and that American policy AND AMERICAN HISTORY should have an equal voice in the public square, summon the courage to "Out" ourselves, ADL & its intimidation tactics be damned. Make it the next new movement.
    You've taken the vanguard position, Phil. The least we can do is fall in behind you or better yet, beside you.

    Great post, S2, and great timing. Last night Cynthia McKinney did a long interview about her UNRIG campaign, also recounting crossing swords with the Israel Lobby. UNRIG started out as more general opposition to Deep State, but after being attacked/harassed it’s become a little more like LFTL.

    Cynthia’s program of ‘power cells’ — cutting progressive/conservative divides — reminds me of your proposal for deep study groups. Join forces? Use contact@unrig.net

    1. Khomeini died almost 30 years ago.

    2. Ever since Haman, Jews have performed the mental gymnastics of turning defense of one's own nation/interests into "they want to exterminate da Joos." Since Haman, Jews have defined themselves as the world's victim. At the same time, Jews boast that THEY 'survived' but other ancient peoples have disappeared. Rather a contradiction, but as Gideon Levy pointed out in a conference in DC in 2015, the conflicting narrative is a pillar of Israeli society. It's tiresome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFQWU0DtbGA

    3. Moreover, while he was still alive, and Iran was embroiled in a savage war with Iraq-- goaded by US strategists like Zbigniew Brzezinski -- Israel was fully engaged with Khomeini's government in selling weapons to Iran.

    In "The Secret War with Iran," Ronen Bergman explained the rationale for Israel's practice of 'supporting' the Islamic Republic of Iran. Violating the embargo United States placed on selling weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, Israel's Defense Ministry sold weapons to Iran, in secret, in Operation Seashell:


    " 'Operation Seashell . . .puts the later Iran-contra scandal to shame.
    There were four main reasons why Operation Seashell went forward.
    FIRST, Israel could not come to terms with the military, intelligence, and diplomatic losses that it had sustained with the disruption of relations with Iran after the revolution.

    [sidebar: As Niall Ferguson explained in his biography of the Rothschilds as well as in "The Ascent of Money," "the core function of institutions called banks was information gathering." ]

    Arms exports would at least give [Israel] a foothold in Tehran. In Israel's defense establishment, the lesson had been learned . . . that swiftly supplying weaponry and military know-how to a . . .state will bring the supplier as close as possible to the rulers . . .

    Second, it was hoped that the infusion of weaponry would intensify the Iran-Iraq war and lead to the mutual destruction or, at least weakening, of two enemies.

    Third, Israeli officials feared a victorious Saddam Hussein.

    Finally, more than anything else, the weapons industry wanted to make money. As one Israeli Defense Ministry official, a key figure in Operation Seashell, recalls, "I do not remember even one discussion about the ethics of the matter. All that interested us was to sell, sell, sell more and more Israeli weapons, and let them kill each other with them." "
     

    It's a good idea to keep these attitudes and practices in mind when considering the multiple forces that push for war in the Middle East and against Iran-- including, not least, American Jews; and also the nature and real goals of JCPOA, what its real purposes were (i.e. to gain insider information in furtherance of acquiring dominance over banking/finance), and whether or not, or for what larger strategic purposes it will be abrogated.

    4. Given the murderous contempt expressed and carried out by Israelis against the Iranian people throughout the Iran-Iraq war, Yossi Alpher's more recent explanation of the attitude "most Israelis" hold toward Iran is breathtakingly arrogant and hypocritical. In discussing his book on Israel's search for new "periphery partners," Alpher confided to Bruce Reidel that so many Israelis who "go back to the time of the Shah" still have "periphery nostalgia:"


    "There are still very senior Israelis . . . who believe to this day that the Islamic Republic is an aberration and a temporary one, and if you somehow push the right military or sanctions button or whatever, they will fall and the good guys will come back to power.

    . . .

    We Israelis, again, back to that isolation -- we Israelis, to this day, have a need to -- a deep need to be recognized and accepted by the region. You see, Bibi’s demand, which is supported by most Israelis, that the Palestinians recognize us as a Jewish state, or the state of the Jewish people -- the nation-state of the Jewish people -- this goes way back, this need to be recognized. . . .

    [A]t the height of the periphery doctrine, when things are going well, there’s this sense that the ancient peoples of the Middle East have created an alliance, the people who precede the Arabs, okay. We go back with Iran, we just celebrated Purim, all right, we go back 2,600 years with Iran. The Egyptian, the Ethiopian national narrative is King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. So, this is almost a biblical -- a new biblical chapter.

    This is how some people in Israel felt. . . .Everybody in Tehran and in Addis and in Ankara --- They did not reciprocate. They said, we kidded ourselves that they did. And we still do to this day, because if you believe that -- we are somehow Middle Eastern, ancient blood brothers, then who’s Khomeini? This wasn’t meant to be.
     

    Think of the complexities that zionists/Jews have created for themselves, when Polish and Lithuanian Jews, having planted Berlin-on-the-Mediterranean, shrink with horror from their ancient Semitic roots, as expressed in this epigraph to Gil Eyal's "The Disenchantment of the Orient" --

    At the end of every Hebrew sentence that you utter,
    There sits an Arab, smoking his hookah,
    Even if it begun in Siberia,
    Or in Hollywood, with Hava Nagilah.
    -Me'ir Ariel

    while clinging to those same Semitic - Abrahamic roots that marked them as "Chosen" and conveyed to them title to that plot of land where they transplanted their European fantasy-utopia, and simultaneously persuading themselves that they are "blood brothers" to the Persian empire, per Yossi Alpher.

    Now, realize that in exchange for a few pieces of silver, US legislators give to these deeply identity-conflicted people access to information as well as the most sophisticated weapons in the world, and that they have more nuclear weapons than anybody knows about, and Kim Jong-Un begins to look like a model partner: at least Kim knows who he is and what his cultural roots are.

    Thank you for your intelligent response. Truth and ACTUAL facts are kryptonite to the Jew Trolls.

    Cynthia McKinney in this interview agrees that the formal, written pledge is no longer used - instead, they will explore your political website to ensure you make similar statements and affirmations on it and, if not, then they drop your funding and support. In other words, still a backdoor way of getting you to "sign on". See here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_VNOk7Wv5A at ~3:30+ where she says "at that time" (ie when she was running for office) and then at ~5:07 she clarifies what I just said above. Bottom line: you still need to wholly support Israel causes, or else.

    @Kenneth Jassby
    I had never heard of Philip Giraldi before coming across a link to his latest tirade against Jewish folk, while reading the Times of Israel this past week. My gosh, if his article was written in German, I would have believed that it came from Der Stuermer in 1934 Germany.

    Having grown up in the mixed French- Anglo Saxon culture of Montreal Canada in the 1960's (before the era of the neocons), I was exposed to similar Zionist conspiracy theories espoused by so-called friends, colleagues and teachers. The specific themes may have been different, but the focus was always the same .... Jews control this and that, they caused all our wars, etc. etc. I could never dissect the source of this invective, which I found even in folks who, previous to myself, had never met a Jew in their life. G-d forbid, these were all armchair warriors, none of whom had put their lives at risk for their country.

    A brief read of Mr Giraldi's previous articles clearly exposes this 'eminent' historian's ingenuous manipulation, distortion and omission of historical facts regarding Jews in general and Zionism is particular.

    Yes, Jewish Americans are prominent neocons. They also excel as researchers in physics and biology, as engineers, entertainers, movie moguls, financiers, software programmers, writers, benefactors of universities, hospitals and the poor, .... you name it, far out of proportion to their representation in the general population. As for controlling the media, just read the New York Times or watch CNN ... 'friends of Israel???

    In WW II, 550,000 Jewish men and women served in the American armed forces. At that time, Jewish Americans comprised 4.3% of the total armed forces, while representing 3.3% of the total population. Jewish fighters included 2,000 young men, refugees from Germany before 1939, who were attached to the spearhead of each America fighting unit, from Normandy to the final defeat of Germany. 11,000 Jewish Americans gave their lives for the USA defending democracy.

    Today, young Israeli soldiers spend three years of their lives, immediately after high school, on the front line of defense of democratic values and freedom for the western world. These young people are not armchair warriors. They hold political views from the left to the right of the political spectrum. Since 1948, nearly 10,000 Israeli soldiers sacrificed their lives to defend their country, equivalent to some 500,000 American lives. The number of civilians killed in terrorist attacks is in the thousands.

    As for Israel-Palestine-Iran, we are witnessing today in North Korea the danger of nuclear weapons in a rogue state threatening to destroy America. Why, Iran espouses this venomous invective against Israel on a daily basis. Does Israel not have the right to defend its interests as does America?

    Palestine already exists. For the attention of Mr Giraldi, it is called Jordan and comprises 74% of the British Mandate, a country gifted as the booby prize to an Arab sheikh in 1922.

    Arguably, Israel has done more for American security in the past decade than all of America's other allies together. The $3B in military aid granted to Israel is used to procure armaments in the USA, while the joint development of anti-missile technology, active armor, drone development and cyber counter-terrorism technologies, have and will save lives and grant to both Americans and Israelis the ability to plan near and long-term defense strategies for mutual benefit. The cost of these programs pales in comparison to the hundreds of billions of dollars spent from America's annual defense budget to station forces in South Korea, Japan, and Europe.

    Israeli technology, in the fields of science, medicine, biology, communication, and even autonomous cars, has contributed enormously to the American economy, adding thousands of jobs, high salaries and enormous initiative for future development and well-being.

    As for TV screens, I would sincerely suggest that every time Mr Giraldi gives an interview the following label should pop up: “Warning: the commentator is a rabid hater of Jews and Israel".

    Finally, and certainly not the least important part of my message ...... it is not the rich, powerful Jewish lobby paying Mr Giraldi's bills. I suspect that funding comes from off-shore sources, all with a nefarious goal in mind and not necessarily serving America's best interests. In whose pockets is he, this man?

    Excuse me, Mr Giraldi, for my conspiracy theory!

    Arguably, Israel has done more for American security in the past decade than all of America’s other allies together.

    like sitting by and watching 3000 Americans get incinerated while the Israeli Mossad agents filmed it and celebrated dancing and high fiving?

    is that what all those billions of dollars of aid the Americans who died on that day were paying for?

    “it’s very good”

    For all that you have said ---to great length—I do not believe you have distinguished the typical “American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.”

    I assume we will be limiting the leadership in question to geographical limits of the United States. Foreign entities may influence actions but leadership is submitted to be a different element.

    Perhaps AIPAC or rabbi/religious groups may be mentioned, but I would suggest Wall Street bankers as having a dominate influence in the manifestation of social changes in our society. In my opinion, they have induced the United States into every military conflict—either for their economic gain, to destroy imagined religious infidels, or to provide cover for their nefarious acts---for 120 years. Their use of the CIA to assist and initiate the military actions has been documented by Perkins, Blum, Kinzer, Talbot, Valentine, Prouty, and others. Their impoverishment of nations as a deliberate agenda for decades has been documented by Chossudovsky and is prominently visible in Greece.

    They are alleged to surreptitiously receive trillions of dollars from the United States using the Rothschild Ponzi scheme but unfortunately the effort has failed to gain traction. The scheme appears to be an obvious and inescapable embezzlement. Ref. https://www.scribd.com/document355085824 . Embezzlement by Federal Reserve--document 355085824 The fraudulent National debt developed by this scheme has been projected to impoverish the United States in the same manner as in Greece but WS successfully avoids public identification of their scheme.

    It is submitted the funding, and leadership, of the Zionist movement and the establishment of Israel is in Manhattan.

    I do not believe you have distinguished the typical “American Jews as a class and its (self-appointed!) leadership.”

    I assume we will be limiting the leadership in question to geographical limits of the United States.

    that would be a mistake IMHO

    the ultimate leadership of the Jews, so to speak, it the House of Rothschild- the International bankster who basically owns or controls the world’s central banks

    add to that the Orthodox Jewish rabbis in the Israeli Knesset, and their ugly poodle- Israel’s putative leader Bibi, and you’re a lot closer to the ‘leadership of the Jews’ than anything being done by the Jews who operate (for Rothschild) our Federal Reserve Bank or the minions on Wall Street and Hollywood.

    It is submitted the funding, and leadership, of the Zionist movement and the establishment of Israel is in Manhattan.

    I fully respect your perspective, but I’d posit that it’s really in London, and has been for centuries.

    what was that the Rothschild matriarch said, ‘if my sons don’t want war, there’d be no war’, or something like that.

    This is normative discourse living in the time of Pax America. Try stating on the MSM that Iraqi soldiers had a moral right to fire back at our invading US soldiers (based on the fact that, yeah - Iraq was actually telling the truth) - it was completely unacceptable. You must submit to be invaded and if you dare to claim to defend yourself (and actually be capable of it), well, you just crossed a red line.

    Peace.

    Hey Talha,

    Try stating on the MSM that Iraqi soldiers had a moral right to fire back at our invading US soldiers (based on the fact that, yeah – Iraq was actually telling the truth

    not just a right, but a duty and obligation to protect their families and nation from an illegal and aggressive invasion based on lies.

    But there is a reason we call it the ZUSA, and that because we’re also supposed to consider ourselves as ‘exceptional, just like the Zionist Jews do, as they murder and steal other people’s land.

    and to point out that it’s wrong to murder people and steal their land, is now considered ‘anti-Semitic, and heresy, and you can be fired from your job at the kosher TAC.

    it’s really amazing, and like Mr. Unz points out, we’re all supposed to look at the sky and remark at how pretty the color green is, and how blue are all the trees, and how Iraqis have no right to defend their nation from criminal and unjustified attack.

    Mr. Giraldi,

    The American Conservative should be ashamed of such "purge" because in reverse they have memorialized your Chosen Option to freely convey unwanted facts.

    Ideally Pat Buchanan will nobly address the critical matter.

    Lastly, I hesitate to fully accept that Valerie Plame is NOT an actress starring in CIA / Mossad black psy-ops. For me, the Zio sky is not so "blue."

    Who benefits? Maybe agents who share similar passion for truth telling.

    Thank you from the most inner part of my heart!

    Selah.

    Hey Chuck,

    Ideally Pat Buchanan will nobly address the critical matter.

    I hope so

    It’s a conversation we all need to have.

    for a people to be used so ignobly as the Americans (and others) have been and are being- to mass-murder innocents and rain down horrors upon the people of this planet is an enormity of staggering consequence, and for which there will be a heavy price to pay. Which no doubt will be born by more innocents who had nothing to do with any of these devil’s wars.

    we need to point the finger at the malignant scum who’re foisting these wars; Jews and Gentiles alike. But the pall over any discussion of Jewish involvement per se, needs to end.

    Kristol, Kagan, Krauthammer, and all the other sinister little shills for death and rapine must be made to answer for their crimes. And their Shabbos goys in congress too.

    American Conservative had a lot of Qatar propaganda. Do they get funding from Qatar? They had articles defending Qatar for aiding American imperialism (ex. Libya) like that is some noble good that trumps Qatar's support for Salafi Jihadist that threaten the US. They were fighting to uphold the liberal international order that they thought Trump threatened.

    I think this article is right but I think you should have made more clear early on that you were only discussing a small but powerful minority of Jewish Americans. Valerie Plame became Israel occupied. Shame.

    I think this article is right but I think you should have made more clear early on that you were only discussing a small but powerful minority of Jewish Americans.

    The vast majority of American Jews support those bad Jews – they are also responsible for “Jew” activities. There are very very few Jews publicly speaking out against Big Jews (less then ten).

    Together the Jews broke America – together they own our troubles.

    If a majority of American Jews support such policies then that data should be clearly cited so they can't weasel their way out of it. What percentage of American Jews? 30%, 50%, 99%, 100%, including the research data to back it up? Here is an article saying about 30% of American Jews have evil intentions on Iran: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/07/27/jewish-americans-support-the-iran-nuclear-deal/?utm_term=.abccbc27aacf

    The article is also evidence that a majority of American Jews have an unhealthy attachment to West Asia while most Americans don't care. The 30% of American Jews that want conflict would find a better home in Israel and do not belong in the US.

    Great video. Thanks.

    I think what you are saying is that the Logos is an 'overmind' to which we are all innately linked and from which intuition springs. When the link is strong, our Logos-fed intuition naturally guides us towards value systems, cultures and legal systems that are in tune with natural law. On a societal level, everything flows naturally and there is peace.

    But when the link is severed, the newly isolated beings must build their own artificial value systems based upon a self-referential complex of core beliefs such as 'we are the chosen people' and 'I think therefore I am' and 'there is no God'. As these foundations are artificial and arbitrary, subsequent thinking is freed of moral/ethical restrictions and societal depravity may arise.

    It seems to me that what we're really talking about here is satanism. Rather than allow the emergence of a belief system grounded in the Logos, the satanist first rejects existent belief systems then creates a new one and keeps it levitating in mental space purely by the energy of their own conscious intent. They believe they are the true masters of the universe and hone their metal abilities to create and maintain mental realities in accordance with their ego's desire. They fool themselves, and lots of other people too.

    So then, is exile from Israel a metaphor for the satanist's mental departure from the Logos?

    Thank you for the thoughtful response.

    The concept of Satan never played a large role in my thinking.

    I do rely on a lecture I heard about Francis Bacon, said to be a father of the Enlightenment. Bacon insisted that the basis for knowledge — or the “first premise” in a logical argument (syllogism) — should be derived from observations of nature, not from authority (where authority, in Bacon’s time, meant the Church).
    Anyway, Bacon liked to create metaphors and similes. He said there are three types of thinkers, Ants, Spiders, and Bees. Ants are very diligent, they scurry around gathering (information) but they do not put it to effective use.
    Spiders draw upon a substance within themselves to spin theories and ideas; they do not necessarily relate to reality or truth (Truth being The Mind’s Assent to Reality).
    Bees also are very busy about gathering nectar (information) from nature, which they take to an organizing center where it is put in its proper place and put to creative use. (Spoiler Alert: Bees = the ideal Enlightenment thinker).

    When Ron Suskind quoted someone in the Bush White House as having said, “We create reality . . .” — I thought, That is Spider thinking. And I believe Jews specialize in Spider thinking: they are very creative; they firmly believe that the web woven in their brains IS reality. But it often is not supported by the evidence of nature.

    I mentioned satanism because it seems to be about creating reality through one's own will without acknowledging a higher truth. My understanding is based on reading Anton Lavey and Aliester Crowley. Both of them were basically rebels against corrupt religion and threw the baby (Logos) out with the bath water (Christianity). I think Francis Bacon would deem them to be spiders!

    I think you're exactly spot on with the Jew/Spider Thinking metaphor. Perhaps this is why they've been expelled from gentile lands so many times (over 100?) throughout history. At first, they're clever and successful but eventually the web they weave is so out of tune with reality that the Logos-connected natives rise up and rebel. All cleverness and no common sense!

Great Youtube video noting that 10 out of 11 members of his administration are Ashkenazi and one sephardic. Hence Phillip Giraldi as well as Robert Perry when they speak truth with verifiable facts askanazi’s come out of the woodwork and start throwing their bile at people who use reason and logic along with verifiable facts and start insulting them gas lighting them. I will share another great verifiable fact that most westerners tend to not know. anglo-zionism was invented by British and European old oligarchical class in the late 18and early 19th century that is why it is referenced as anglo-zionism Theodore Herzl is always referenced as the father of Zionism when in reality sionism SION was devised and invented in England by the oligarchs of the British Empire and banking families of old Europe. Herzl like most things related to Israel or judaism is fabricated lies. MOSSAD MOTO BY DECEPTION YOU MAY WAGE WAR.

    As Tolstoy use 2 say history would be a wonderful thing if only it was true. Victors write history never the vanquished. Here is another truth. in Israel proper 90 percent of Israeli jews are of Ashkenazi DNA they r as semitic as the inuits. Ashkanazi’s are of Turkic origins.

The first is Dr. Eran Elkaik who did his research and discovered the Ashkanazi DNA is not from the Middle East, but Khazaria bloodline (Eastern European). They are Turkothean Mongoloids and not Semites. The second is Sholmo Sand, who wrote the book, "The Invention of the Jewish People." His book also outlines the bloodline to Khazars.

    Hey Chuck,

    Ideally Pat Buchanan will nobly address the critical matter.
     
    I hope so

    It's a conversation we all need to have.

    for a people to be used so ignobly as the Americans (and others) have been and are being- to mass-murder innocents and rain down horrors upon the people of this planet is an enormity of staggering consequence, and for which there will be a heavy price to pay. Which no doubt will be born by more innocents who had nothing to do with any of these devil's wars.

    we need to point the finger at the malignant scum who're foisting these wars; Jews and Gentiles alike. But the pall over any discussion of Jewish involvement per se, needs to end.

    Kristol, Kagan, Krauthammer, and all the other sinister little shills for death and rapine must be made to answer for their crimes. And their Shabbos goys in congress too.

    Cheers

    Rurik,

    Roman Catholic Pat Buchanan has written bravely and he’s not getting younger.

    Hope he speaks on behalf of P. Giraldi!

    So, weasel speaker, are Jews to be penalized because they are good at lobbying or not?
     
    So, Mr. PEA brain, if you are in favour of maintaining the status quo, can it not be inferred that you are also in favour of penalizing the average American, who is not very good at lobbying?

    All Americans are perfectly capable, in fact, rather good at lobbying for whatever cause/agenda motivates them. The real question, which Iffen has been asking, and you have skirted, remains the crucial one.

    I reiterate my position that while you condemn all Jews [manifestly diverse in their political philosophies] of “Israel firsting”, your fallback position is girded by the writings of many Jews, while your cynical j’accuse! features exclusively Jews, no matter their stripe.

    If Jews are "white", they are a special kind. The Jews, you see, are "God's chosen" people with a special relationship with the diety ... something that eludes the rest of the human race. Jews, at least for the hardcore, must be born of Jewish mothers. So, evidently the privilege of being "chosen" is a genetic disposition associated with the female mitochondria that must be handed down from one generation to another. Therefore, the rest of us, born of non-Jewish mothers, do not and cannot have this privilege.

    The reason Jewish lineage is thru the mother has nothing to do with genes, but everything to do to the fact that we always know who the babies’ mother is, but cannot 100% confirm who the father is (today we can, but years ago we couldn’t).

    (I strongly suspect that if a genuinely notable figure, say Paul Ryan or Andrew Cuomo, made an entire speech making the same factual claims Mr. Giraldi makes in this article, the mainstream media would indeed cover it.)

    I think that it is obvious that one can't get to be a genuine notable figure making these "factual" claims and if some such figure were to come out of the closet and make these claims he wouldn't be a notable figure much longer.

    hilarious that Mr. G exposed the vile duplicity of this ‘I’m not a Jew!!!’ person, who goes around relentlessly insisting that it’s not “dem Jews” who wield power, and it’s unacceptable to point it out when it is ‘dem Jews’

    but then exposes his own trite attempt at guile by admitting that anyone who tells the truth about Jewish power is excommunicated post haste.

    it’s like when CNN news anchor Rick Sanchez mentioned Jews run the network, he was canned on the spot, proving that yes, Jews do own and run the networks, and will suffer no criticism as such.

    but you have these pathetic shills running around demanding that there’s no consolidated Jewish identity politics at CNN or other (obviously Jewish owned and dominated) networks, and that Jewish ownership and control has ZERO!! to do with any content or any reporting on Israel/Palestine or the serial wars America is forced to fight on behalf of Israel, and any suggestion that it (Jewish ownership) does, it nothing less than the ranting of hatred-consumed Nazis and anti-Semites!!!!

    by their actions, like firing Mr. G from TAC, they only prove how right he is!

    Mr. G, like Joseph Sobran, and so many, many others, simply posses too much integrity as men of character to participate in the shabby fraud, and refuse to bleat the platitudes about the ‘emperor’s fine and flowing raiment – that one must never, never mention ‘dem Jews’.

    And the paradigm that they’ve set up carefully over generations is to equate any criticism of the actions of some Jews, as a criticism of ALL Jews everywhere, as if because of the Holocaust, all Jews everywhere are immune to any criticism- because they’re Jews. Which doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room when it’s *obvious* that many Jews who own our media or dominate our financial system – use that power to help other Jews gain power and privilege and position, and often steer our ship of state in ways that are harmful for non-Jews. But you’re not allowed to point that out. And if you do, it can only mean you’re a closet Himmler who wants to gas all Jews.

    So it’s like a pressure cooker, where the outrages of some Jews can never be pointed out, until it simmers and roils under the surface. And one day explodes on the scene, as it did in Germany and other places in history.

    why not just have an honest conversation about Jewish power, and give them credit when they deserve it, and criticism when it’s valid?

    Dear Sam Shama,

    I suspect you want a point-by-point debate of your comment.
    Not gonna do it.
    That was one reason for the brief, unembroidered mention that Mukasey is Jewish: it's a simple, true (but pregnant) fact that provided a droll response to what I thought was an unhinged, almost hysterical rant. End of my investment in the discussion.

    You addressed Ron. Maybe he'll take the bait, but if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Phil highlighted geokat62's comment that shone a spotlight on your unintended, or subconscious proof that Phil's thesis is correct: you complained that discussion of Jewish involvement in America's wars was being conducted in a way that might cause harm to Jews. You harangued Ron for not being worried about Jews.

    geokat62 focused on the destructive aspect of the wars themselves, and on the reality that a million or more innocent people have died and entire states are in turmoil and ruin, for generations; that is the important reality to confront.

    You are worried about a hypothetical, older Jew in New York City being harmed by words typed by an anonymous, amorphous blogger.
    To borrow a phrase Frank Luntz might love, there does not seem to be a moral equivalence between your concerns and geokat62's.

    I really wasn't thinking about the "counting Jews" part of your comment: I guess you were focusing on a comparative head-count aspect, trying to make the point that a lot of the people who are behind decisions to go to war are not Jewish, and that is certainly true.

    But why is USA so entangled in that part of the world in the first place? See comments #783 and #846 http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/americas-jews-are-driving-americas-wars/#comment-2017858 : USA is involved in MENA because of fanatical Jabotinskyites who, at the Jonathan Institute in July 1979 rolled out the blueprint for the Global War on Terror.
    The Jonathan Institute was established to memorialize Jonathan Netanyahu, who died in the Israeli raid on Entebbe on July 4, 1976: the date was not a mere coincidence: Israelis believe that that raid on the day that USA was celebrating its 200th anniversary of independence was Israel's declaration of its status as co-equal guardian of "liberty and democracy." The July 1979 conference in Jerusalem documented that status.

    In July, 1979 the Shah was still in (tenuous) power in Iran; Iran was not a focus of the Conference -- Arafat and PLO were the major sources of 'terrorism.'

    However -- if you want to understand the complexity and intensity of Bibi's animus toward Iran, consider this scenario: Jonathan Netanyahu was Bibi's older brother and the apple of his father's eye. After his death Benzion worshipped his son like a martyr; in fact, Israel views Jonathan as a national hero-martyr; his collected letters have acquired the stature of Anne Frank's diary. Benjamin was studying at Columbia when Jonathan died; he left the USA and returned to Israel where he and his father set up the Jonathan Institute. There is also a shrine to Jonathan in Philadelphia, where the Netanyahus grew up. (It was also in Philadelphia -- in Independence Hall -- that the American Jewish Congress was formed in 1918.)

    Jonathan was wounded at Entebbe because he did something stupid. Ephraim Sneh was the medic on the Entebbe team; he failed to save Jonathan's life. Think about that: if you're the guy who presided over the death of Israel's major martyr, what do you do to redeem yourself? Sneh was elected to Knesset and became one of the earliest and most vocal and persistent critics of Iran. It was Sneh who introduced to the Knesset the notion that Iran's nuclear capabilities should be eradicated. All of these emotionally charged events bled into each other and dramatically shaped Bibi Netanyahu.

    It is fanciful to suppose that Netanyahu will change his stripes: he is psychologically bound to his crazy father, and Benzion Netanyahu was Jabotinsky's spokesperson and adroit political operative in NYC when Revisionist zionist steamrollered American Jewry. Bibi can as readily turn his back on that generational legacy as Eli Weisel could turn the holocaust museum into a sports bar.

    BTW Check out Mukasey's background. He fits the definition of 'fanatical Jabotinskyite.'

    You wrote a great deal, equal parts pet propaganda, misrepresentation of my post, and downthread, the farcical travel back in Time of a thousand years.

    You know full well that words ‘[..]typed by an anonymous, amorphous blogger.‘ are not the literal concern over which I spend fretful minutes; words cannot break a bone. It is, on the other hand, the inspiration which a true believer of tenancy in this space who might jolly well assume the burden of carrying out the logical endgame which concerns me. This is not a mere isolated piece, nor a sporadic one; it is the unsurprising instalment of an unbroken theme which permeates Mr Giraldi’s writing, as well those populating the commentary section: the ‘undercurrent’ Plame failed to realise initially, yet to her credit, corrected in the end.

    What prompts your belief, Mukasey, a sufficiently waspy sounding name, was a nescient insertion? It was – my laughter afterwards one would’ve thought ample clue – a deliberate inclusion, and true to form he was smoked out!

    The highlighted comment you refer to, without circumlocution, was entirely self-serving. That, my dear S2C, is what must be crystal clear to anyone with even a brief familiarity of the proceedings here: this favourite corner of like-minded “patriots”.

    I am familiar with the Jonathan Institute. Yes, it is the pet project of Netanyahu and a coterie of individuals with an equal interest in terrorism as in simoleon. So, I suffer no delusions. It is, like so many other institutes, little toadstools appearing after the rain. They all blot the landscape, these institutes from all sides of the spectrum, and I hardly think it is the first of its particular purpose. Lord Chalfont and Gillian Baker, veterans of the terrorism industry in the U.K, both wrote of the media’s role in these matters and were, I believe, associated with Bibi’s little gig.

    I think this article is right but I think you should have made more clear early on that you were only discussing a small but powerful minority of Jewish Americans.

    The vast majority of American Jews support those bad Jews - they are also responsible for "Jew" activities. There are very very few Jews publicly speaking out against Big Jews (less then ten).

    Together the Jews broke America - together they own our troubles.

    Think Peace --- Art

    If a majority of American Jews support such policies then that data should be clearly cited so they can’t weasel their way out of it. What percentage of American Jews? 30%, 50%, 99%, 100%, including the research data to back it up? Here is an article saying about 30% of American Jews have evil intentions on Iran: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/07/27/jewish-americans-support-the-iran-nuclear-deal/?utm_term=.abccbc27aacf

    The article is also evidence that a majority of American Jews have an unhealthy attachment to West Asia while most Americans don’t care. The 30% of American Jews that want conflict would find a better home in Israel and do not belong in the US.

    Hey Rurik,

    Was no real escape from Robing's admonishment for me to nudge Patrick Buchanan to offer thought on the TAC purge of Phil Giraldi.

    So moments ago, I went to Mr. Buchanan's official web site and found out reader comments are made by Facebook.

    (Sigh) RobinG's assessment is likely correct that "he (P.B.) will never read" all the comments posted on this article, understandably perhaps that he hasn't enough time to do so.

    In comparison, & speaking as a school bus driver, I have neither time nor the will to devote to Facebook conversations.

    Doubtless, Patrick Buchanan has neither time nor a will to look at my mug while I transport kids to places where they ought "hit the books."

    That's the way it goes, Rurik.

    However, while on the topic of books, Mr. Buchanan advertises his latest work, "The Greatest Comeback," on his web site. And fans can get an autographed copy! (Sigh) I want to read the book, but for me, P.B.'s greatest comeback-at- 'em will be an Irish-American Catholic issuance of a salty opinion on what deep throated slit TAC gave Mr. Giraldi.

    Thank both you and Robing.

    The open paragraph of this article now mentions how Mr. Giraldi has been purged by The American Conservative Magazine (TAC) for writing it.

    Is this the very same The American Conservative Magazine which had previously withdrawn a job offer that it had been made to the late, very heroic and then destitute Joseph Sobran because Joe had simply appeared as a paid speaker before groups that The Anti Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center had deemed less than sensitive to Jewish sensibilities?

    Yes, it most definitely is

    I guess and weak knees are again in fashion.

    When Mr. Gilardi was purged by TAC, he joined Joe Sobran is some truly sainted company.

    The person most responsible for Sobran’s purging was most likely the then TAC editor, Avon cosmetic heir, and society dilettante Scott McConnell.

    The person most likely responsible for Gilardi’s current purging is apparently current TAC editor Robert Merry. I can imagine Merry having to literally go home to change his underwear after having crapped in his pants as a result of the abject terror experienced while reading Gilardi’s article. Merry’s decision to rid himself of Gilardi was undoubtedly and enthusiastically supported and encouraged by the truly execrable, increasingly politically correct, and now virtually totally unreadable TAC writer Rod Dreher.

    Keep all those names in mind for future reference: McConnell, Merry, Dreher. I know I will.,

    Why do supposedly patriotic sites seem cave into such pressure.to time after time again ? Because TAC and sites like Antiwar.com get lazy and begin accepting large donations from mysterious and often very dubious groups and people whose only real desire is to seek to control these sites’ editorial content. Needless to say, these large contributors often also seem to also often have a rather avid affection for Israel.

    Once they started drinking from this poisonous financial trough, their future is doomed, and like TAC (or increasingly, Antiwar.com) they become tainted, irrelevant, and increasingly untrustworthy.

    Here is a further example of this type of corruption. Alex Soros (George’s son and heir) is now apparently a major financial supporter of the online civil rights group The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). One of his Alex Soros’s employees, Brian Behlendorf, is now chairman of the board of EFF.

    Scary indeed!

    If it is determined that one cannot find Muslim citizens that can be neutral with regard to any Muslim countries (due to their natural inclinations of a spiritual brotherhood)

    I think that you see the problem that I envisage.

    Should Cuban-Americans have any input into policy regarding Cuba? Should Mexican-Americans be considered reliable with regard to Mexico and immigration issues? Should Gary Locke have been allowed to serve as ambassador to China? Can white judges be relied upon when the victim is white and the defendant is black?

    I rib people for being afraid of a slippery slope, but if this is not one then there is no such a thing.

    My question is why is it that only the Jews are questioned? Why not all the others?

    Hey iffen,

    I will wholeheartedly agree that this is potentially a slippery slope that has the potential for abuse. Unfortunately, if the system wasn’t being abused now, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

    My question is why is it that only the Jews are questioned?

    There are some people that would be accusing Jews of all sorts of vile things even while stamping with boots on the faces of their children. There is not much you can do about certain people – I’m not one of those*.

    However, as geokat brought up the issue of the “green men” calling for war in outer space…the issue is that Jewish people seem to have a problem in their community. Here is the problem (as I see it); the Jewish community has a disproportionate amount of influence on foreign policy – is there any doubt to this? Some of their elite are disproportionately involved in the decisions to go to war, make or break treaties, etc. And they have been putting us on a foreign policy track that the majority of Americans do not approve of and are sick and tired of. And they keep at it, relentlessly and will not leave nor admit being wrong or even mistaken.

    Now if, say, we had a bunch of ethnic Armenians ensconced in such high level positions who were constantly trying to get us into disastrous wars with Turkey or Azerbaijan or Iran in order to make sure Armenia remains top-dog in the region – or to help establish “Greater Armenia”, then we would be having conversations about them. And any time you bring up the fact that a disproportionate percentage of them are involved in steering the ship of state towards icebergs, they bring up the Armenian Genocide to beat you down.

    So the problem – for people like me – are not Jews per se, but the fact that so many of their elite are involved in Neocon policy-making – and Mr. Ghiraldi named names and was fairly clear about which kind of Jews he was talking about. Why shouldn’t these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?

    Now every community has a problem. My community certainly has one; our youth are disproportionately involved in terrorist acts in the world – we are constantly putting out statements disavowing people. Every time and incident happens all the Muslim orgs scramble to send out disavowal notices. We have to face up to this and try to do our part to figure out and prevent radicalization of our youth. That is our burden, but that’s not going to get anywhere without us first acknowledging there is a problem that we have to own.

    That’s not to say there aren’t Jews out there trying to fight and expose the beast for what it is – they’re just fairly marginalized. And it doesn’t let the other non-Jewish Neocon voices off the hook either; I’m fairly sick and tired of men like Zalmay Khalilzad and other Muslims who want to use US power and influence to carry out nonsense imperial policies overseas.

    Peace.

    *In fact, if some people had their way in the West, there would be boatloads of Jews being shipped out regardless of guilt – and if people like me had ours, we’d open up the Muslim lands to resettle them as we had done historically.

    Well, I'd have no problems putting that question to the Jewish citizens, most of whom wouldn't have the faintest clue as to what is being asked of them, I daresay. When the question comes from someone who also wrote:

    For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” That would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison – translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”

    other questions are bound to arise, e.g., who decides the "integrity" of the Jew in question? Words written or spoken by a Jew should be labelled rat poison? In which world did that happen? Those were words straight out of the Volkisher Beobachter!
    , @chris
    great and interesting post, Talha; thanks !
    , @iffen
    Excellent comment as usual.

    I’m not one of those*.

    No, I don’t believe that you are. I think that the only question that I have ever had about you was some of the high-fives that you gave to some comments.

    the Jewish community has a disproportionate amount of influence on foreign policy – is there any doubt to this?

    I don’t have any doubt that this is true.

    Some of their elite are disproportionately involved in the decisions to go to war, make or break treaties, etc. And they have been putting us on a foreign policy track that the majority of Americans do not approve of and are sick and tired of.

    I don’t accept the wording “they have been.” Incompetents, extremist hawks and warmongers in general have been giving us a disastrous foreign policy. As I said in a previous comment, drop all the Jews out of the foreign policy establishment and they would be replaced by gentile warmongers before the Jews could get out of the offices and conference rooms. To my mind, even if there were no Jews in the foreign policy positions we would still have a disastrous ME policy with all its attendant wars. It is open for debate whether Israel and American Jews are driving the ME wars. (I suspect that “your” :) Sunni/Shia global conflict is the main cause.) I have stated before that surely Israel would much prefer a Jordan on its border to another Lebanon. Commenter and contributor Andrei Martyanov makes a good case that Syria will come out of this war with a much improved military capability. Is this what the Jews instigated the Syrian war for? Please notice that I said this is debatable, but for many of the commenters here it is a proven point of departure.

    Let’s put that aside and assume that the Jews are making bad decisions with regard to the ME. They are citizens and we are stuck with their bad decisions just as we benefit from their good decisions.

    Jews have as much right to screw up America as anyone else. This is the crux; either Jews are accepted as equal or they are not.

    they bring up the Armenian Genocide to beat you down.

    I think that I have agreed that there are problems with the political use of the Holocaust. It’s complicated to me. I just hope that they don’t start spelling it H*******t; that would be a really bad sign.

    Why shouldn’t these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?

    Should all of the churches, organizations, businesses and families of the non-Jewish warmongers be forced to make public disavowals? Should Yale be forced to disavow Bush, etc., etc?

    I repeat my question. Why can’t we just name the warmongers without additional tags?

    In fact, if some people had their way in the West, there would be boatloads of Jews being shipped out regardless of guilt

    No doubt, some would want you in the boats with them, perhaps leaky boats. :)

    I want to repeat a quote from Sam’s comment. If you can’t “see” the undercurrent then you are going to have a very different view. I see the undercurrent.


    This is not a mere isolated piece, nor a sporadic one; it is the unsurprising instalment of an unbroken theme which permeates Mr Giraldi’s writing, as well those populating the commentary section: the ‘undercurrent’ Plame failed to realise initially, yet to her credit, corrected in the end.

    I think that's a fine idea. Muslims are taught from before they can walk to be wary of Jews. That foreknowledge will keep any Jewish minority in check.

    I feel this is one of the most profound paragraphs in all the commentary on this article.

    Talha's right. Every time there's a Muslim gone crazy in Europe, all the local Muslim organisations disavow and carry out vigils, hand in hand with Christian natives. I'm vaguely aware of the existence of Neturei Karta and a few individuals like Finkelstein and Atzmon but I've never seen any real life acknowledgement or disavowal of the wrongdoing of Jewry. I think it's almost always denial and willful ignorance.

I like statistical proof on such topics as who supports what. Abrahamic religions are an American security concern. No doubt about that.

    You know full well that words '[..]typed by an anonymous, amorphous blogger.' are not the literal concern over which I spend fretful minutes; words cannot break a bone.

    What prompts your belief, Mukasey, a sufficiently waspy sounding name, was a nescient insertion? It was - my laughter afterwards one would've thought ample clue - a deliberate inclusion, and true to form he was smoked out!

    The highlighted comment you refer to, without circumlocution, was entirely self-serving. That, my dear S2C, is what must be crystal clear to anyone with even a brief familiarity of the proceedings here: this favourite corner of like-minded "patriots".

    I am familiar with the Jonathan Institute. Yes, it is the pet project of Netanyahu and a coterie of individuals with an equal interest in terrorism as in simoleon. So, I suffer no delusions. It is, like so many other institutes, little toadstools appearing after the rain. They all blot the landscape, these institutes from all sides of the spectrum, and I hardly think it is the first of its particular purpose. Lord Chalfont and Gillian Baker, veterans of the terrorism industry in the U.K, both wrote of the media's role in these matters and were, I believe, associated with Bibi's little gig. None of it is especially remarkable. But of course, you discover some deep plan for world domination. I am reading the Protocols, which when I am done with, will be sure to put to good use formulating my own stratagem.

    Bibi, I keep repeating, is a melodramatic queen. Whether he has any true animus toward Iran, I cannot say; but I doubt it. He is merely trying to hold his Black-hat coalition together.

    Doubtless, Patrick Buchanan has neither time nor a will to look at my mug while I transport kids to places where they ought “hit the books.”

    That’s the way it goes, Rurik.

    However, while on the topic of books, Mr. Buchanan advertises his latest work, “The Greatest Comeback,” on his web site. And fans can get an autographed copy! (Sigh) I want to read the book, but for me, P.B.’s greatest comeback-at- ‘em will be an Irish-American Catholic issuance of a salty opinion on what deep throated slit TAC gave Mr. Giraldi.

    Thank both you and Robing.

    @Sam Shama
    You wrote a great deal, equal parts pet propaganda, misrepresentation of my post, and downthread, the farcical travel back in Time of a thousand years.

    You know full well that words '[..]typed by an anonymous, amorphous blogger.' are not the literal concern over which I spend fretful minutes; words cannot break a bone. It is, on the other hand, the inspiration which a true believer of tenancy in this space who might jolly well assume the burden of carrying out the logical endgame which concerns me. This is not a mere isolated piece, nor a sporadic one; it is the unsurprising instalment of an unbroken theme which permeates Mr Giraldi's writing, as well those populating the commentary section: the 'undercurrent' Plame failed to realise initially, yet to her credit, corrected in the end.

    What prompts your belief, Mukasey, a sufficiently waspy sounding name, was a nescient insertion? It was - my laughter afterwards one would've thought ample clue - a deliberate inclusion, and true to form he was smoked out!

    The highlighted comment you refer to, without circumlocution, was entirely self-serving. That, my dear S2C, is what must be crystal clear to anyone with even a brief familiarity of the proceedings here: this favourite corner of like-minded "patriots".

    I am familiar with the Jonathan Institute. Yes, it is the pet project of Netanyahu and a coterie of individuals with an equal interest in terrorism as in simoleon. So, I suffer no delusions. It is, like so many other institutes, little toadstools appearing after the rain. They all blot the landscape, these institutes from all sides of the spectrum, and I hardly think it is the first of its particular purpose. Lord Chalfont and Gillian Baker, veterans of the terrorism industry in the U.K, both wrote of the media's role in these matters and were, I believe, associated with Bibi's little gig. None of it is especially remarkable. But of course, you discover some deep plan for world domination. I am reading the Protocols, which when I am done with, will be sure to put to good use formulating my own stratagem.

    Bibi, I keep repeating, is a melodramatic queen. Whether he has any true animus toward Iran, I cannot say; but I doubt it. He is merely trying to hold his Black-hat coalition together.

    I am reading the Protocols, which when I am done with, will be sure to put to good use formulating my own stratagem.

    Mr. Sam Holocaust,

    Hmm – what are you going to call your new reeducation gulag like you Jews ran in Russia?

    I can see it now – Camp Holocaust – Unz Review Division.

    @Talha
    Hey iffen,

    I will wholeheartedly agree that this is potentially a slippery slope that has the potential for abuse. Unfortunately, if the system wasn't being abused now, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    My question is why is it that only the Jews are questioned?
     
    There are some people that would be accusing Jews of all sorts of vile things even while stamping with boots on the faces of their children. There is not much you can do about certain people - I'm not one of those*.

    However, as geokat brought up the issue of the "green men" calling for war in outer space...the issue is that Jewish people seem to have a problem in their community. Here is the problem (as I see it); the Jewish community has a disproportionate amount of influence on foreign policy - is there any doubt to this? Some of their elite are disproportionately involved in the decisions to go to war, make or break treaties, etc. And they have been putting us on a foreign policy track that the majority of Americans do not approve of and are sick and tired of. And they keep at it, relentlessly and will not leave nor admit being wrong or even mistaken.

    Now if, say, we had a bunch of ethnic Armenians ensconced in such high level positions who were constantly trying to get us into disastrous wars with Turkey or Azerbaijan or Iran in order to make sure Armenia remains top-dog in the region - or to help establish "Greater Armenia", then we would be having conversations about them. And any time you bring up the fact that a disproportionate percentage of them are involved in steering the ship of state towards icebergs, they bring up the Armenian Genocide to beat you down.

    So the problem - for people like me - are not Jews per se, but the fact that so many of their elite are involved in Neocon policy-making - and Mr. Ghiraldi named names and was fairly clear about which kind of Jews he was talking about. Why shouldn't these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?

    Now every community has a problem. My community certainly has one; our youth are disproportionately involved in terrorist acts in the world - we are constantly putting out statements disavowing people. Every time and incident happens all the Muslim orgs scramble to send out disavowal notices. We have to face up to this and try to do our part to figure out and prevent radicalization of our youth. That is our burden, but that's not going to get anywhere without us first acknowledging there is a problem that we have to own.

    That's not to say there aren't Jews out there trying to fight and expose the beast for what it is - they're just fairly marginalized. And it doesn't let the other non-Jewish Neocon voices off the hook either; I'm fairly sick and tired of men like Zalmay Khalilzad and other Muslims who want to use US power and influence to carry out nonsense imperial policies overseas.

    Peace.

    *In fact, if some people had their way in the West, there would be boatloads of Jews being shipped out regardless of guilt - and if people like me had ours, we'd open up the Muslim lands to resettle them as we had done historically.

    Mr. Ghiraldi named names and was fairly clear about which kind of Jews he was talking about. Why shouldn’t these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?

    Well, I’d have no problems putting that question to the Jewish citizens, most of whom wouldn’t have the faintest clue as to what is being asked of them, I daresay. When the question comes from someone who also wrote:

    For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” That would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison – translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”

    other questions are bound to arise, e.g., who decides the “integrity” of the Jew in question? Words written or spoken by a Jew should be labelled rat poison? In which world did that happen? Those were words straight out of the Volkisher Beobachter!

    Beats me - maybe we can have a metric that we can agree to; you get to support one disastrous war and you are outed unless you disavow what you did or admit to your disastrous mistake. Dual citizenship, etc.

    Words written or spoken by a Jew like Kristol should be labeled rat poison - yes. Why is this an issue? Men like him and Krauthammer are disgusting war-mongers - they are constantly trying to get us into an aggressive posture towards anybody in the Middle East that don't conform to our imperial marching orders or are rivals to Israel. This is the definition of "entangling alliances". Do you not see a problem here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg_lQNv6onw

    Likewise words written or spoken by whatever Saudi prince is currently handling English-based PR.

    What is wrong with full disclosure on running a label under Kristol when he speaks on TV saying, "Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel" - is this not true? I would say, make sure to add a bullet point of how he fully supported the Iraq War, Libya, etc. Why is it wrong to mention I am a Muslim (and was born in Pakistan) if I am interviewed on TV for related foreign policy subjects?

    Watch this video; the **** is this guy laughing about? Do people like him think it's a joke??!!

    "Words written or spoken by a Jew should be labelled rat poison? In which world did that happen? Those were words straight out of the Volkisher Beobachter! "

    Anyone who's honest will find that, on balance, the Germans were far more honest to the facts, and less hateful, than British and Jewish-American anti-German propaganda.

    words with the potential to kill should be labeled as such.

    isn't that your main premise, that words lead to- or incite action?

    Who has done more than members of the Jewish community, who have outsized access to media, to speak words, create memes and images that engender hatred of some designated Other, with the intent and purpose of ultimately causing grievous harm to that targeted group.

    Jews did it to Germans in order to "educate" the American people on the need to firebomb and kill German civilians; they used lies of the most outrageous kinds, and manipulated legal and political institutions in the US and elsewhere to achieve their goal.

    Jews are at the vanguard of using words to effect the destruction of Iran, similar to the way the same process was rolled out against Iraq and Syria.
    Please don't insult with the claim that "non-Jews do it too." Yes indeed, they do. Benjamin Ginsberg writes of how Jews linked up with east coast Anglican Protestants to gin up hatred, then war against Germany -- Charles Lindbergh was right (Ginsberg gloats in describing how Lindbergh was attacked, his character assassinated, his life made miserable.)
    For at least a decade Roman Catholic Ed Royce has been fellating Orange County donkeys who must cheer when he imposes another round of sanctions on Iran, or gives another rabble-rousing speech about how evil Iran is. He's a disgrace to personhood much less Catholicism.

    Words can kill, and nobody has, in the past, or in the present, used words with more deadly effect than Jews.

    Go ahead and challenge my general statement, Sam; there's chapter a verse aplenty in those rows and rows of holocaustiana that so many "mediocre intellects" seem to delight to produce, and that our public libraries expend their budgets & shelf space on. Bring it on.

    She had a little help – like every Jew terrorist in America breathing down her back!

    Within an hour she was on her knees begging for her cultural life.

    Another good American succumbs to Jew terror – how very sad.

    How is it, dear Art, that she should have to ‘beg’ for her cultural life? So this culture, apparently controlled by the terrorists, seems to be heartily embraced by most ‘good Americans’. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for sharing, RobinG

    As you know, I'm a big fan of Cynthia McKinney.

    I'm about half way through the interview and I was delighted that she devoted a bit of time to discussing Phil's article (she inadvertently attributed authorship to Robert Parry, for some reason).

    At any rate, she also freely discussed the pledge issue, stating that funding for her reelection campaign dried up after refusing to sign the pledge of support for Israel.

    Given CM's proven track record for integrity and her obvious integrity, although it sounds outlandish, I think these pledge forms might actually exist.

    What a bombshell it would be if someone actually produced a signed copy and uploaded it on the Internet?

    Cynthia McKinney in this interview agrees that the formal, written pledge is no longer used – instead, they will explore your political website to ensure you make similar statements and affirmations on it and, if not, then they drop your funding and support. In other words, still a backdoor way of getting you to “sign on”. See here at ~3:30+ where she says “at that time” (ie when she was running for office) and then at ~5:07 she clarifies what I just said above. Bottom line: you still need to wholly support Israel causes, or else.

    You'd eliminate the entirety of Washington's political class! And those of each state's capital. And then some. Nice sentiment. Not about to happen.

    So the basic issue cannot be dealt with quite so easily as writing a few lines in a blog. My view is this: A group of people called neoconservatives filled the latest vacancies in America's long record of waging war [heck, why just America, world history screams and suggests itself here]. Further tags, as insightfully pointed out by Iffen, are not required; any such requirement is the exclusive domain of a certain group.

    I don't think you've thought through this stupid proposition. It would undoubtedly move beyond political commentary. Taken to its logical conclusion every politician, every pundit, every commentator on television, every professor, every columnist, every movie producer, director, actor, comedian, would have a running label of their ethnicity and religion for all their appearances and opinions.

    A ludicrous notion. It would start as a most loathsome practice and quickly reduce to meaningless nonsense along the lines of prescription drug warnings. Besides being loathsome and reminiscent of a time and practice we've hopefully left behind. But I repeat myself.

    It is fine to dislike Kristol, or whoever else, but the suggestion was to label as rat poison the opinion of all Jews who do not possess integrity. And presumably, the writer and his cohorts get to sit as judge, jury and executioner.

    A thought occurred to me: were you thinking of living in America with a dhimmi status?

    Excellent comment as usual.

    I’m not one of those*.

    No, I don’t believe that you are. I think that the only question that I have ever had about you was some of the high-fives that you gave to some comments.

    the Jewish community has a disproportionate amount of influence on foreign policy – is there any doubt to this?

    I don’t have any doubt that this is true.

    Some of their elite are disproportionately involved in the decisions to go to war, make or break treaties, etc. And they have been putting us on a foreign policy track that the majority of Americans do not approve of and are sick and tired of.

    I don’t accept the wording “they have been.” Incompetents, extremist hawks and warmongers in general have been giving us a disastrous foreign policy. As I said in a previous comment, drop all the Jews out of the foreign policy establishment and they would be replaced by gentile warmongers before the Jews could get out of the offices and conference rooms. To my mind, even if there were no Jews in the foreign policy positions we would still have a disastrous ME policy with all its attendant wars. It is open for debate whether Israel and American Jews are driving the ME wars. (I suspect that “your” :) Sunni/Shia global conflict is the main cause.) I have stated before that surely Israel would much prefer a Jordan on its border to another Lebanon. Commenter and contributor Andrei Martyanov makes a good case that Syria will come out of this war with a much improved military capability. Is this what the Jews instigated the Syrian war for? Please notice that I said this is debatable, but for many of the commenters here it is a proven point of departure.

    Let’s put that aside and assume that the Jews are making bad decisions with regard to the ME. They are citizens and we are stuck with their bad decisions just as we benefit from their good decisions.

    Jews have as much right to screw up America as anyone else. This is the crux; either Jews are accepted as equal or they are not.

    they bring up the Armenian Genocide to beat you down.

    I think that I have agreed that there are problems with the political use of the Holocaust. It’s complicated to me. I just hope that they don’t start spelling it H*******t; that would be a really bad sign.

    Why shouldn’t these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?

    Should all of the churches, organizations, businesses and families of the non-Jewish warmongers be forced to make public disavowals? Should Yale be forced to disavow Bush, etc., etc?

    I repeat my question. Why can’t we just name the warmongers without additional tags?

    In fact, if some people had their way in the West, there would be boatloads of Jews being shipped out regardless of guilt

    No doubt, some would want you in the boats with them, perhaps leaky boats. :)

    I want to repeat a quote from Sam’s comment. If you can’t “see” the undercurrent then you are going to have a very different view. I see the undercurrent.

    This is not a mere isolated piece, nor a sporadic one; it is the unsurprising instalment of an unbroken theme which permeates Mr Giraldi’s writing, as well those populating the commentary section: the ‘undercurrent’ Plame failed to realise initially, yet to her credit, corrected in the end.

    Possibly - look, war mongering is not an exclusive monopoly of Semites (any more than prophethood is). Then we could also put pressure on them as well. Neither am I letting the military industrial complex off the hook either. I don't think this is a black and white issue with just Jews under the microscope. If some guy has major stock options in or is on the board of a war manufacturer - that should also be posted under their name because it is a legitimate piece of information - the fact that the guy is half Italian, half Native American may not be in cases dealing with the Middle East.

    To my mind, even if there were no Jews in the foreign policy positions we would still have a disastrous ME policy with all its attendant wars.
     
    Again, this is possible, but the voices clamoring the loudest for war in Iraq (and the whole "Clean Break" crowd) and trying to sell it were top-heavy with these elite NeoCon Jewish voices. The other big crowd were the Evangelicals - they own this mess as well. There were definitely NeoCon people from among the Muslims as well, but they simply were not as prominent.

    I suspect that “your” :) Sunni/Shia global conflict is the main cause.
     
    Not "the" main cause, but a significant contributor - again, something our community needs to own up to.

    Is this what the Jews instigated the Syrian war for?
     
    Look - it is not debatable that the Israelis would rather have the Syrian territory in shambles rather than a strong central government propped up by Iran:
    "'In Syria, if the choice is between Iran and the Islamic State, I choose the Islamic State. They don’t have the capabilities that Iran has,' Ya’alon told a conference held by the Institute of National Security Studies in Tel Aviv."

    Israeli-firsters wanted Assad gone, they didn't think he was going to survive - they certainly didn't calculate Russia. The defense minister said, it is preferable that Syria is in ruins under Daesh rather than stable and together under an Irani proxy regime - do you not see the self-serving mentality that goes into that kind of a posture? So this was a massively bad calculation on their part - I agree with Andrei. They screwed up big time!

    And another note, look what the Ya'alon says:
    "Many in the West refuse to acknowledge this — won’t even say ‘radical Islam,'” Ya’alon said. “Of course not every Muslim is a terrorist, but most terrorists in the world today are Muslim. We can’t ignore that."

    Agreed - most of your run-of-the-mill terrorists are Muslim - I'll admit to that. So why should we ignore the Israeli connection (due to ethnicity) in many of the people that are disproportionately represented among the Necons? If we can admit to having our radicals, why can't Jews admit to having a "radical" strain among them?

    Jews have as much right to screw up America as anyone else. This is the crux; either Jews are accepted as equal or they are not.
     
    Agreed - what does full disclosure have anything to do with making them unequal.

    Should all of the churches, organizations, businesses and families of the non-Jewish warmongers be forced to make public disavowals?
     
    You do know as a member of a minority that is automatically asked to disavow anything, anytime some fool like Baghdadi sneezes, I lose absolutely zero in saying everyone should be held to the standards Muslims are held to. And yes, United Methodists did (to their credit) publicly denounced Bush and ask him to repent - sending him a message called:
    “A Prophetic Epistle from United Methodists Calling Our Brother George W. Bush to Repent"
    http://www.wnd.com/2003/06/19162/

    Why can’t we just name the warmongers without additional tags?
     
    Additional tags can be helpful in establishing the whole picture; anything from dual citizenship, ethnic background, if one served in a foreign army, if one gets paid by foreign govts as a consultant, companies one owns stock in, religious persuasion, etc. What is wrong with full disclosure on items pertinent to the subject matter? I mean, I don't need to know what size shoe he wears or if he has a license to drive a semi or if he likes cats more than dogs.

    I agree that some people have an "undercurrent" they are riding. As I said, that's not me - I'm asking for the same principles I would have applied on my community if a disproportionate number of them were similarly knee-deep.

    Peace.

    Mr. Ghiraldi named names and was fairly clear about which kind of Jews he was talking about. Why shouldn’t these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?
     
    Well, I'd have no problems putting that question to the Jewish citizens, most of whom wouldn't have the faintest clue as to what is being asked of them, I daresay. When the question comes from someone who also wrote:

    For those American Jews who lack any shred of integrity, the media should be required to label them at the bottom of the television screen whenever they pop up, e.g. Bill Kristol is “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” That would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison – translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”

    other questions are bound to arise, e.g., who decides the "integrity" of the Jew in question? Words written or spoken by a Jew should be labelled rat poison? In which world did that happen? Those were words straight out of the Volkisher Beobachter!

    “Words written or spoken by a Jew should be labelled rat poison? In which world did that happen? Those were words straight out of the Volkisher Beobachter! ”

    Anyone who’s honest will find that, on balance, the Germans were far more honest to the facts, and less hateful, than British and Jewish-American anti-German propaganda.

    words with the potential to kill should be labeled as such.

    isn’t that your main premise, that words lead to- or incite action?

    Who has done more than members of the Jewish community, who have outsized access to media, to speak words, create memes and images that engender hatred of some designated Other, with the intent and purpose of ultimately causing grievous harm to that targeted group.

    Jews did it to Germans in order to “educate” the American people on the need to firebomb and kill German civilians; they used lies of the most outrageous kinds, and manipulated legal and political institutions in the US and elsewhere to achieve their goal.

    Jews are at the vanguard of using words to effect the destruction of Iran, similar to the way the same process was rolled out against Iraq and Syria.
    Please don’t insult with the claim that “non-Jews do it too.” Yes indeed, they do. Benjamin Ginsberg writes of how Jews linked up with east coast Anglican Protestants to gin up hatred, then war against Germany — Charles Lindbergh was right (Ginsberg gloats in describing how Lindbergh was attacked, his character assassinated, his life made miserable.)
    For at least a decade Roman Catholic Ed Royce has been fellating Orange County donkeys who must cheer when he imposes another round of sanctions on Iran, or gives another rabble-rousing speech about how evil Iran is. He’s a disgrace to personhood much less Catholicism.

    Words can kill, and nobody has, in the past, or in the present, used words with more deadly effect than Jews.

    Go ahead and challenge my general statement, Sam; there’s chapter a verse aplenty in those rows and rows of holocaustiana that so many “mediocre intellects” seem to delight to produce, and that our public libraries expend their budgets & shelf space on. Bring it on.

    I reiterate my position that while you condemn all Jews [manifestly diverse in their political philosophies] of “Israel firsting”, your fallback position is girded by the writings of many Jews, while your cynical j’accuse! features exclusively Jews, no matter their stripe.

    I think others have adequately addressed your pathetic attempts to try and portray me as a Jew hater for simply trying to shine a light on the machinations of The Lobby, so I won’t go there.

    What I will say, though, is this. As I’ve mentioned many times before, I have Hellenic roots. And I must admit, reading your comment reminded me of the great sophists of the past. Thrasymachus immediately comes to mind. That said, your specious “argument” reminded me of another specious “argument” made by a present-day sophist, Bret Stephens. I’m sure you have already viewed the debate that took place last year. It was part of the Intelligence Squared series of debates, Blame the elites for the Trump phenomenon.

    For the Motion was Timothy Carney, Ben Domenech. Against the Motion was Jennifer Rubin, Bret Stephens and the Moderator was John Donvan.

    Here’s a brief excerpt from the transcript of that debate:

    John Donvan:
    Thank you, Ben Domenech. And that motion is: Blame the Elites for the Trump Phenomenon. Here to make his opening statement against the motion, Bret Stephens. He is foreign affairs columnist and deputy editorial page editor at the Wall Street Journal where he is also a member of the editorial board. Ladies and gentlemen, Bret Stephens.

    Bret Stephens:
    I want to begin my opening remarks by asking you in the audience a few questions. First question. How many of you in this audience have been to Europe in the last five years? Raise your hand. Okay.

    Yes. All right. How many people in this audience live in Manhattan or let’s just say New York City or a New York City-like suburb like Westchester. Raise your hands. Okay. Thank you.

    Most hands go up. I didn’t see the people up in the nosebleed seats.
    [laughter]

    How many people in this audience have graduate degrees? Once again, I would say most hands went up, right? One more question. I’m very curious. Generally speaking, Sancerre is white or red wine?
    [laughter]

    White. White seems to be the consensus. You are correct. Thank you very much.
    [laughter]

    Why am I asking these questions? It’s very simple. I hate to break it to you, but you are the elite.
    [laughter]

    You live in the most expensive city in America. You travel voluntarily across the ocean to look at paintings you could find on Google.
    [laughter]

    You drink wine that never costs less than $20 a bottle. You’re the elite and so this proposition is very simple. Do you blame yourselves –
    [laughter] — for the rise of Donald Trump? Now, my friends on the opposite side would like to imagine the elite is someone else. All right? It’s the billionaire class that you sometimes hear about. It’s those corrupt politicians, Democrats or Republicans in Washington. It’s some idea of an elite and yet it’s you. And so here’s the question that we have to confront tonight, and it’s an important question and it’s going to be a very telling question, I think, psychologically speaking. Do you indict yourselves tonight for the rise of Donald Trump?

    What a breathless display of sophistry, no? Thrasymachus would have been proud to see that his rhetorical traditions are still going strong over two millennia later!

    Where was I? Oh, yes. So, just as Bret Stephens was trying to convince the audience that they were the elite (not the leading figures of society’s key institutions – i.e., political, media, academic, religious, business, etc.), you are trying to convince us that any ordinary American has the opportunity to come together with other likeminded Americans to create a Lobby that could counter the influence of the all-powerful Zionist Lobby.

    While what you say has, in theory, a kernel of truth to it, the reality is, as you know, quite different. There are a number of conditions that have to be satisfied before a successful Lobby can be established. While the big lobbies (big pharma, big finance, big Zion, etc.) have clearly satisfied these conditions, Aunt Bee from Mayberry and Joe Sixpack from Main Street fall far short from doing so. And we have The Lobby to thank for this, as well. As Prof. MacDonald has clearly demonstrated, The Lobby was instrumental in pushing for a non-restrictionist immigration policy. And Prof. Putnam’s study clearly demonstrated the intended consequences of such a policy – i.e., a more heterogeneous society that is less likely to bowl together, let alone have the necessary social cohesion to form a Lobby powerful enough to counter the Zionist Lobby.

    But not to worry, all hope is not lost. As Philip Weiss constantly reminds us, he believes the Jewish community itself will fracture on the issue of I/P and when that happens, the influence of The Lobby will diminish to such an extent that it will not be able to prevent the inevitable – i.e., the elimination of apartheid in Palestine and a rebalancing of the special relationship to a more normal footing.

    I’m a patient man. Time will prove who is right and who is wrong on this issue… so, we’ll just have to wait and see.

    P.S. Props go out to Rurik, Talha, and Chuck for their support.

    After thinking about it a little more, I realized just how insane the proposition is that average Americans should have to form a lobby to influence their own elected representatives to put the interests of the general public ahead of the interests of the special interests. And this is exactly the situation in which the average American finds himself, today. That's why it is commonly referred to as a "swamp." And expecting the American people to form a lobby so they can take back their gov't isn't the answer. Unfortunately, things have deteriorated to the point where the rot is so deep and widespread, the stench of the swamp so toxic that a root and branch approach is the only solution.
    , @RobinG
    Hi Geo,

    We are witnessing a "progressive" community mired in identity politics, and not only silent on wars of aggression, but stoking the anti-Russia fervor. In his lament for the phantom US peace movement John Pilger writes, "There is plenty of sound and fury at Trump the odious one, the “fascist”, but almost none at Trump the symptom and caricature of an enduring system of conquest and extremism." The Democrats, split into Hillary and Bernie camps, are still united in their support for militarism. Stephen Lendman writes of Sanders, "He supports America’s imperial agenda, its phony war on terror, raping and destroying nations. He wrongfully blames Hamas for Israeli high crimes." http://stephenlendman.org/2017/09/bernie-sanders-israel-iran/

    Phil Weiss may believe that the Jewish community will fracture over I/P, but will it remain united on Israel/US hegemony in greater ME? Wars for alleged R2P or Israeli security? As it stands, most of the US pro-Palestinian SJWs are anti-Assad, anti-Iran, and anti-Russia. If you are putting hope in the Jews to rebalance themselves and their relation to US, I suggest you review Gilad Atzmon's explanation of Jewish triangulation. And you're pretty funny blaming immigrants for "native" Americans' inability to organize. I guess Joe Sixpack is so absorbed in hating on 'foreigners' that he doesn't have time to talk to Aunt Bee.

    Hey Sam,

    who decides the “integrity” of the Jew in question?
     
    Beats me - maybe we can have a metric that we can agree to; you get to support one disastrous war and you are outed unless you disavow what you did or admit to your disastrous mistake. Dual citizenship, etc.

    Words written or spoken by a Jew should be labelled rat poison?
     
    Words written or spoken by a Jew like Kristol should be labeled rat poison - yes. Why is this an issue? Men like him and Krauthammer are disgusting war-mongers - they are constantly trying to get us into an aggressive posture towards anybody in the Middle East that don't conform to our imperial marching orders or are rivals to Israel. This is the definition of "entangling alliances". Do you not see a problem here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg_lQNv6onw

    Likewise words written or spoken by whatever Saudi prince is currently handling English-based PR.

    What is wrong with full disclosure on running a label under Kristol when he speaks on TV saying, "Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel" - is this not true? I would say, make sure to add a bullet point of how he fully supported the Iraq War, Libya, etc. Why is it wrong to mention I am a Muslim (and was born in Pakistan) if I am interviewed on TV for related foreign policy subjects?

    Watch this video; the **** is this guy laughing about? Do people like him think it's a joke??!!
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xDCbM8Jcy0

    Why would it be wrong to put up a label? Listen to those jerks at Fox News, they might run the label in a bragging posture.

    Peace.

    maybe we can have a metric that we can agree to; you get to support one disastrous war and you are outed unless you disavow what you did or admit to your disastrous mistake.

    You’d eliminate the entirety of Washington’s political class! And those of each state’s capital. And then some. Nice sentiment. Not about to happen.

    So the basic issue cannot be dealt with quite so easily as writing a few lines in a blog. My view is this: A group of people called neoconservatives filled the latest vacancies in America’s long record of waging war [heck, why just America, world history screams and suggests itself here]. Further tags, as insightfully pointed out by Iffen, are not required; any such requirement is the exclusive domain of a certain group.

    by a Jew like Kristol should be labeled rat poison – yes. Why is this an issue? Men like him and Krauthammer are disgusting war-mongers – they are constantly trying to get us into an aggressive posture towards anybody in the Middle East that don’t conform to our imperial marching orders or are rivals to Israel.

    I don’t think you’ve thought through this stupid proposition. It would undoubtedly move beyond political commentary. Taken to its logical conclusion every politician, every pundit, every commentator on television, every professor, every columnist, every movie producer, director, actor, comedian, would have a running label of their ethnicity and religion for all their appearances and opinions.

    A ludicrous notion. It would start as a most loathsome practice and quickly reduce to meaningless nonsense along the lines of prescription drug warnings. Besides being loathsome and reminiscent of a time and practice we’ve hopefully left behind. But I repeat myself.

    It is fine to dislike Kristol, or whoever else, but the suggestion was to label as rat poison the opinion of all Jews who do not possess integrity. And presumably, the writer and his cohorts get to sit as judge, jury and executioner.

    Not required, no. But it's helpful to know if someone is Jewish when it comes to the Middle East just as much as it is to know someone is Muslim or even an Evangelical Christian as opposed to, say, a Chaldean. In the case of my Armenian example, it would be nice to know if the speaker was an ethnic Armenian. I think this facade of people bringing unbiased and objective perspectives is farcical - let's just be open about it and argue the facts. If people see that a whole heck of a lot of Neocons (watch the video I linked) happen to have a personal stake with or relationship with Israel - let it be known. If a bunch of Muslims were disproportionately on Neoconservative boards/think tanks/publications, I want them to be outed - I want our community shunning them, I don't want them to be able to marry Muslim daughters, I want Muslim imams balking at leading their funeral prayers, I want to bear full social pressure from within our community to stop them.

    A ludicrous notion.
     
    That's fine - we can argue it from a perspective of it being a technically viable thing to do, but I simply don't get why it is taken as an immoral stance to take - there is a difference between the two.

    I think you are conflating. I saw Mr. Giraldi as specifically using Kristol as an example of how he defines those Jews without integrity and "rat poison" views. And frankly, I agree - the man seems to be a demon from among mankind. Those Jews (and others) who think like him - are likewise. He seems to have zero empathy for the misery he is causing and thinks it's a joke.

    And presumably, the writer and his cohorts get to sit as judge, jury and executioner.
     
    I wouldn't presume; Mr. Giraldi is right here - ask him who would be setting standards.

    were you thinking of living in America with a dhimmi status?
     
    The sacred law already assumes that I am. One with a boatload of rights and privileges for sure, but as Imam Ghazali (ra) once pointed out:
    "Once the real meaning is understood, there is no need to quibble over names."

    If those rights are restricted, I'll re-evaluate my presence here.

    And presumably, the writer and his cohorts get to sit as judge, jury and executioner.

    I wouldn’t presume; Mr. Giraldi is right here – ask him who would be setting standards.

    were you thinking of living in America with a dhimmi status?

    The sacred law already assumes that I am. One with a boatload of rights and privileges for sure, but as Imam Ghazali (ra) once pointed out:
    “Once the real meaning is understood, there is no need to quibble over names.”

    If those rights are restricted, I’ll re-evaluate my presence here.

    Peace.

  1084. Sam The Sham to Talha: “You’d eliminate the entirety of Washington’s political class!”

    (Cough, yuck)

    AIPAC’ s purchase of the Washington political class is a money bleed which the elite Jews would love to discharge as soon as Greater Israel borders are established and the “pivot” takeover of China’s political class intensifies.

    Post scriptum to Talha: The Sham is very cunning. He well knows that Jews long ago eliminated what remained of a patriotic American “political class.”

    maybe we can have a metric that we can agree to; you get to support one disastrous war and you are outed unless you disavow what you did or admit to your disastrous mistake.
     
    You'd eliminate the entirety of Washington's political class! And those of each state's capital. And then some. Nice sentiment. Not about to happen.

    So the basic issue cannot be dealt with quite so easily as writing a few lines in a blog. My view is this: A group of people called neoconservatives filled the latest vacancies in America's long record of waging war [heck, why just America, world history screams and suggests itself here]. Further tags, as insightfully pointed out by Iffen, are not required; any such requirement is the exclusive domain of a certain group.


    by a Jew like Kristol should be labeled rat poison – yes. Why is this an issue? Men like him and Krauthammer are disgusting war-mongers – they are constantly trying to get us into an aggressive posture towards anybody in the Middle East that don’t conform to our imperial marching orders or are rivals to Israel.
     
    I don't think you've thought through this stupid proposition. It would undoubtedly move beyond political commentary. Taken to its logical conclusion every politician, every pundit, every commentator on television, every professor, every columnist, every movie producer, director, actor, comedian, would have a running label of their ethnicity and religion for all their appearances and opinions.

    A ludicrous notion. It would start as a most loathsome practice and quickly reduce to meaningless nonsense along the lines of prescription drug warnings. Besides being loathsome and reminiscent of a time and practice we've hopefully left behind. But I repeat myself.

    It is fine to dislike Kristol, or whoever else, but the suggestion was to label as rat poison the opinion of all Jews who do not possess integrity. And presumably, the writer and his cohorts get to sit as judge, jury and executioner.

    A thought occurred to me: were you thinking of living in America with a dhimmi status?

    I don’t think you’ve thought through this stupid proposition. It would undoubtedly move beyond political commentary. Taken to its logical conclusion every politician, every pundit, …
    yada … yada … yada …

    Play It Sam – Sing Holocaust,

    Oh my – we know where this is going – the suggestion is, hate one Jew – means wanting to kill them all (NOT).

    (Hasbara 101 – hide a Jew’s wrong doing in the general – never allow the Jew to be singled out. “Never is the Jew the worst.” When it comes to coercion, Jews are always second from the bottom – ask them.)

    @iffen
    Excellent comment as usual.

    I’m not one of those*.

    No, I don’t believe that you are. I think that the only question that I have ever had about you was some of the high-fives that you gave to some comments.

    the Jewish community has a disproportionate amount of influence on foreign policy – is there any doubt to this?

    I don’t have any doubt that this is true.

    Some of their elite are disproportionately involved in the decisions to go to war, make or break treaties, etc. And they have been putting us on a foreign policy track that the majority of Americans do not approve of and are sick and tired of.

    I don’t accept the wording “they have been.” Incompetents, extremist hawks and warmongers in general have been giving us a disastrous foreign policy. As I said in a previous comment, drop all the Jews out of the foreign policy establishment and they would be replaced by gentile warmongers before the Jews could get out of the offices and conference rooms. To my mind, even if there were no Jews in the foreign policy positions we would still have a disastrous ME policy with all its attendant wars. It is open for debate whether Israel and American Jews are driving the ME wars. (I suspect that “your” :) Sunni/Shia global conflict is the main cause.) I have stated before that surely Israel would much prefer a Jordan on its border to another Lebanon. Commenter and contributor Andrei Martyanov makes a good case that Syria will come out of this war with a much improved military capability. Is this what the Jews instigated the Syrian war for? Please notice that I said this is debatable, but for many of the commenters here it is a proven point of departure.

    Let’s put that aside and assume that the Jews are making bad decisions with regard to the ME. They are citizens and we are stuck with their bad decisions just as we benefit from their good decisions.

    Jews have as much right to screw up America as anyone else. This is the crux; either Jews are accepted as equal or they are not.

    they bring up the Armenian Genocide to beat you down.

    I think that I have agreed that there are problems with the political use of the Holocaust. It’s complicated to me. I just hope that they don’t start spelling it H*******t; that would be a really bad sign.

    Why shouldn’t these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?

    Should all of the churches, organizations, businesses and families of the non-Jewish warmongers be forced to make public disavowals? Should Yale be forced to disavow Bush, etc., etc?

    I repeat my question. Why can’t we just name the warmongers without additional tags?

    In fact, if some people had their way in the West, there would be boatloads of Jews being shipped out regardless of guilt

    No doubt, some would want you in the boats with them, perhaps leaky boats. :)

    I want to repeat a quote from Sam’s comment. If you can’t “see” the undercurrent then you are going to have a very different view. I see the undercurrent.


    This is not a mere isolated piece, nor a sporadic one; it is the unsurprising instalment of an unbroken theme which permeates Mr Giraldi’s writing, as well those populating the commentary section: the ‘undercurrent’ Plame failed to realise initially, yet to her credit, corrected in the end.
     

    Hey iffen,

    As I said in a previous comment, drop all the Jews out of the foreign policy establishment and they would be replaced by gentile warmongers before the Jews could get out of the offices and conference rooms.

    Possibly – look, war mongering is not an exclusive monopoly of Semites (any more than prophethood is). Then we could also put pressure on them as well. Neither am I letting the military industrial complex off the hook either. I don’t think this is a black and white issue with just Jews under the microscope. If some guy has major stock options in or is on the board of a war manufacturer – that should also be posted under their name because it is a legitimate piece of information – the fact that the guy is half Italian, half Native American may not be in cases dealing with the Middle East.

    To my mind, even if there were no Jews in the foreign policy positions we would still have a disastrous ME policy with all its attendant wars.

    Again, this is possible, but the voices clamoring the loudest for war in Iraq (and the whole “Clean Break” crowd) and trying to sell it were top-heavy with these elite NeoCon Jewish voices. The other big crowd were the Evangelicals – they own this mess as well. There were definitely NeoCon people from among the Muslims as well, but they simply were not as prominent.

    I suspect that “your” :) Sunni/Shia global conflict is the main cause.

    Not “the” main cause, but a significant contributor – again, something our community needs to own up to.

    Is this what the Jews instigated the Syrian war for?

    Look – it is not debatable that the Israelis would rather have the Syrian territory in shambles rather than a strong central government propped up by Iran:
    “‘In Syria, if the choice is between Iran and the Islamic State, I choose the Islamic State. They don’t have the capabilities that Iran has,’ Ya’alon told a conference held by the Institute of National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.”

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/yaalon-i-would-prefer-islamic-state-to-iran-in-syria/

    Israeli-firsters wanted Assad gone, they didn’t think he was going to survive – they certainly didn’t calculate Russia. The defense minister said, it is preferable that Syria is in ruins under Daesh rather than stable and together under an Irani proxy regime – do you not see the self-serving mentality that goes into that kind of a posture? So this was a massively bad calculation on their part – I agree with Andrei. They screwed up big time!

    And another note, look what the Ya’alon says:
    “Many in the West refuse to acknowledge this — won’t even say ‘radical Islam,’” Ya’alon said. “Of course not every Muslim is a terrorist, but most terrorists in the world today are Muslim. We can’t ignore that.”

    Agreed – most of your run-of-the-mill terrorists are Muslim – I’ll admit to that. So why should we ignore the Israeli connection (due to ethnicity) in many of the people that are disproportionately represented among the Necons? If we can admit to having our radicals, why can’t Jews admit to having a “radical” strain among them?

    Jews have as much right to screw up America as anyone else. This is the crux; either Jews are accepted as equal or they are not.

    Agreed – what does full disclosure have anything to do with making them unequal.

    Should all of the churches, organizations, businesses and families of the non-Jewish warmongers be forced to make public disavowals?

    You do know as a member of a minority that is automatically asked to disavow anything, anytime some fool like Baghdadi sneezes, I lose absolutely zero in saying everyone should be held to the standards Muslims are held to. And yes, United Methodists did (to their credit) publicly denounced Bush and ask him to repent – sending him a message called:
    “A Prophetic Epistle from United Methodists Calling Our Brother George W. Bush to Repent”

    http://www.wnd.com/2003/06/19162/

    Why can’t we just name the warmongers without additional tags?

    Additional tags can be helpful in establishing the whole picture; anything from dual citizenship, ethnic background, if one served in a foreign army, if one gets paid by foreign govts as a consultant, companies one owns stock in, religious persuasion, etc. What is wrong with full disclosure on items pertinent to the subject matter? I mean, I don’t need to know what size shoe he wears or if he has a license to drive a semi or if he likes cats more than dogs.

    I agree that some people have an “undercurrent” they are riding. As I said, that’s not me – I’m asking for the same principles I would have applied on my community if a disproportionate number of them were similarly knee-deep.

    Peace.

    full disclosure on items pertinent to the subject matter

    Who gets to decide this?

    If you were on trial for sexual assault on Miss Magnolia Blossom of 1935 in Yoknapatawpha County, do I, as public prosecutor, get to introduce in evidence the fact that you have a Nordic Princess as a wife?

    Anyway, disclosure of Jewish ethnicity is not the issue for me. I don't think that there is anything wrong with reporting x of y Federal Reserve Governors are Jews, x of y billionaires are Jews, x of y film directors are Jews, x of y professors are Jews, x of y Neo-cons are Jews, etc., etc.

    I object when this information is harped on over and over and it is already known and in the public arena. This is inciting distrust, plain and simple.

    I object to calls for disqualifying Jews or any other group from full citizenship.

    I might think that it's really not a good idea to have blacks on a jury when the defendant is black and the victim is white. Can I get blacks disqualified from jury duty?

    Having captions reading purveyor of rat poison for Jewish pundits is beyond the pale.

    What's next? A bloodsucking Jew caption for Janet Yelling?

    I reiterate my position that while you condemn all Jews [manifestly diverse in their political philosophies] of “Israel firsting”, your fallback position is girded by the writings of many Jews, while your cynical j’accuse! features exclusively Jews, no matter their stripe.
     
    I think others have adequately addressed your pathetic attempts to try and portray me as a Jew hater for simply trying to shine a light on the machinations of The Lobby, so I won't go there.

    What I will say, though, is this. As I've mentioned many times before, I have Hellenic roots. And I must admit, reading your comment reminded me of the great sophists of the past. Thrasymachus immediately comes to mind. That said, your specious "argument" reminded me of another specious "argument" made by a present-day sophist, Bret Stephens. I'm sure you have already viewed the debate that took place last year. It was part of the Intelligence Squared series of debates, Blame the elites for the Trump phenomenon.

    For the Motion was Timothy Carney, Ben Domenech. Against the Motion was Jennifer Rubin, Bret Stephens and the Moderator was John Donvan.

    Here's a brief excerpt from the transcript of that debate:

    John Donvan:
    Thank you, Ben Domenech. And that motion is: Blame the Elites for the Trump Phenomenon. Here to make his opening statement against the motion, Bret Stephens. He is foreign affairs columnist and deputy editorial page editor at the Wall Street Journal where he is also a member of the editorial board. Ladies and gentlemen, Bret Stephens.

    Bret Stephens:
    I want to begin my opening remarks by asking you in the audience a few questions. First question. How many of you in this audience have been to Europe in the last five years? Raise your hand. Okay.

    Yes. All right. How many people in this audience live in Manhattan or let's just say New York City or a New York City-like suburb like Westchester. Raise your hands. Okay. Thank you.

    Most hands go up. I didn't see the people up in the nosebleed seats.
    [laughter]

    How many people in this audience have graduate degrees? Once again, I would say most hands went up, right? One more question. I'm very curious. Generally speaking, Sancerre is white or red wine?
    [laughter]

    White. White seems to be the consensus. You are correct. Thank you very much.
    [laughter]

    Why am I asking these questions? It's very simple. I hate to break it to you, but you are the elite.
    [laughter]


    You live in the most expensive city in America. You travel voluntarily across the ocean to look at paintings you could find on Google.
    [laughter]

    You drink wine that never costs less than $20 a bottle. You're the elite and so this proposition is very simple. Do you blame yourselves --
    [laughter] -- for the rise of Donald Trump? Now, my friends on the opposite side would like to imagine the elite is someone else. All right? It's the billionaire class that you sometimes hear about. It's those corrupt politicians, Democrats or Republicans in Washington. It's some idea of an elite and yet it's you. And so here's the question that we have to confront tonight, and it's an important question and it's going to be a very telling question, I think, psychologically speaking. Do you indict yourselves tonight for the rise of Donald Trump?
     
    What a breathless display of sophistry, no? Thrasymachus would have been proud to see that his rhetorical traditions are still going strong over two millennia later!

    Where was I? Oh, yes. So, just as Bret Stephens was trying to convince the audience that they were the elite (not the leading figures of society's key institutions - i.e., political, media, academic, religious, business, etc.), you are trying to convince us that any ordinary American has the opportunity to come together with other likeminded Americans to create a Lobby that could counter the influence of the all-powerful Zionist Lobby.

    While what you say has, in theory, a kernel of truth to it, the reality is, as you know, quite different. There are a number of conditions that have to be satisfied before a successful Lobby can be established. While the big lobbies (big pharma, big finance, big Zion, etc.) have clearly satisfied these conditions, Aunt Bee from Mayberry and Joe Sixpack from Main Street fall far short from doing so. And we have The Lobby to thank for this, as well. As Prof. MacDonald has clearly demonstrated, The Lobby was instrumental in pushing for a non-restrictionist immigration policy. And Prof. Putnam's study clearly demonstrated the intended consequences of such a policy - i.e., a more heterogeneous society that is less likely to bowl together, let alone have the necessary social cohesion to form a Lobby powerful enough to counter the Zionist Lobby.

    But not to worry, all hope is not lost. As Philip Weiss constantly reminds us, he believes the Jewish community itself will fracture on the issue of I/P and when that happens, the influence of The Lobby will diminish to such an extent that it will not be able to prevent the inevitable - i.e., the elimination of apartheid in Palestine and a rebalancing of the special relationship to a more normal footing.

    I'm a patient man. Time will prove who is right and who is wrong on this issue... so, we'll just have to wait and see.

    P.S. Props go out to Rurik, Talha, and Chuck for their support.

    … you are trying to convince us that any ordinary American has the opportunity to come together with other likeminded Americans to create a Lobby that could counter the influence of the all-powerful Zionist Lobby.

    After thinking about it a little more, I realized just how insane the proposition is that average Americans should have to form a lobby to influence their own elected representatives to put the interests of the general public ahead of the interests of the special interests. And this is exactly the situation in which the average American finds himself, today. That’s why it is commonly referred to as a “swamp.” And expecting the American people to form a lobby so they can take back their gov’t isn’t the answer. Unfortunately, things have deteriorated to the point where the rot is so deep and widespread, the stench of the swamp so toxic that a root and branch approach is the only solution.

    Hi Geo,

    We are witnessing a “progressive” community mired in identity politics, and not only silent on wars of aggression, but stoking the anti-Russia fervor. In his lament for the phantom US peace movement John Pilger writes, “There is plenty of sound and fury at Trump the odious one, the “fascist”, but almost none at Trump the symptom and caricature of an enduring system of conquest and extremism.” The Democrats, split into Hillary and Bernie camps, are still united in their support for militarism. Stephen Lendman writes of Sanders, “He supports America’s imperial agenda, its phony war on terror, raping and destroying nations. He wrongfully blames Hamas for Israeli high crimes.” http://stephenlendman.org/2017/09/bernie-sanders-israel-iran/

    Phil Weiss may believe that the Jewish community will fracture over I/P, but will it remain united on Israel/US hegemony in greater ME? Wars for alleged R2P or Israeli security? As it stands, most of the US pro-Palestinian SJWs are anti-Assad, anti-Iran, and anti-Russia. If you are putting hope in the Jews to rebalance themselves and their relation to US, I suggest you review Gilad Atzmon’s explanation of Jewish triangulation. And you’re pretty funny blaming immigrants for “native” Americans’ inability to organize. I guess Joe Sixpack is so absorbed in hating on ‘foreigners’ that he doesn’t have time to talk to Aunt Bee.

    Additional tags can be helpful in establishing the whole picture; anything from dual citizenship, ethnic background, if one served in a foreign army, if one gets paid by foreign govts as a consultant, companies one owns stock in, religious persuasion, etc. What is wrong with full disclosure on items pertinent to the subject matter? I mean, I don't need to know what size shoe he wears or if he has a license to drive a semi or if he likes cats more than dogs.

    I agree that some people have an "undercurrent" they are riding. As I said, that's not me - I'm asking for the same principles I would have applied on my community if a disproportionate number of them were similarly knee-deep.

    Peace.

    because it is a legitimate piece of information

    full disclosure on items pertinent to the subject matter

    Who gets to decide this?

    If you were on trial for sexual assault on Miss Magnolia Blossom of 1935 in Yoknapatawpha County, do I, as public prosecutor, get to introduce in evidence the fact that you have a Nordic Princess as a wife?

    Anyway, disclosure of Jewish ethnicity is not the issue for me. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with reporting x of y Federal Reserve Governors are Jews, x of y billionaires are Jews, x of y film directors are Jews, x of y professors are Jews, x of y Neo-cons are Jews, etc., etc.

    I object when this information is harped on over and over and it is already known and in the public arena. This is inciting distrust, plain and simple.

    I object to calls for disqualifying Jews or any other group from full citizenship.

    I might think that it’s really not a good idea to have blacks on a jury when the defendant is black and the victim is white. Can I get blacks disqualified from jury duty?

    Having captions reading purveyor of rat poison for Jewish pundits is beyond the pale.

    What’s next? A bloodsucking Jew caption for Janet Yelling?

    At this point I'm mostly just bloating the thread which I think has the most comments of any article here ever but as to "Who gets to decide this? " I'd be happy if nobody got to suppress it, or got ostracized for pointing it out.

    If you were on trial for sexual assault on Miss Magnolia Blossom of 1935 in Yoknapatawpha County, do I, as public prosecutor, get to introduce in evidence the fact that you have a Nordic Princess as a wife?
     
    Probably? I'm not a lawyer, though*, so maybe not.

    This is inciting distrust, plain and simple.
     
    Well, it suggests opinions on certain matters may not be free from bias so perhaps 100% trust would be inappropriate in those cases.

    any other group
     
    Depends.

    Can I get blacks disqualified from jury duty?
     
    No but depending on the judge you might get whites.

    Hey iffen,

    Who gets to decide this?
     
    These are details where I get a bit stuck. If we had trustworthy journalism, they'd be asking these questions and bringing up these details to flesh things out.

    do I, as public prosecutor, get to introduce in evidence
     
    Sure, I assume the judge decides whether it is pertinent to the case.

    Anyway, disclosure of Jewish ethnicity is not the issue for me.
     
    So we agree. I would also like disclosure of other details that may be pertinent; some of which I thought were reasonable and outlined.

    I object to calls for disqualifying Jews or any other group from full citizenship.
     
    Again, I am not calling for this - Jews are not a monolith - there are also Jewish people that I find to be fairly reasonable and balanced in their approach to the topic of Israel and the Middle East. I'm not talking those who agree with me 100%, but rather those who are not chicken-hawks like Kristol.

    Having captions reading purveyor of rat poison for Jewish pundits is beyond the pale.
     
    It simply looked to me like he was using hyperbole. Check out Mercer's latest article for grand use of hyperbole - "Life with Islam" - Oy Vey!

    Again, I'm talking about reasonable, pertinent details; for instance, Francis Fukuyama may well fit into the NeoCon framework (having worked with Wolfowitz in the past), but his ethnicity has little to do - intrinsically - with how he relates to the Middle East. Maybe that changes if the Far East is in question when dealing with North Korea and Japan. And I'm willing to undergo the same scrutiny for people in my community - let the discussion include being open and honest about where our biases lie.

    Actually - to be honest - I would be happier with the kind of reporting that goes on in Israel with regard to dissident voices. Seeing some of the stuff I've read in Haaretz and even blatantly honest right-wing Israeli opinions about their callous intentions is a breath of fresh air. I would say the debate is much more lively in Israel; everything reported here is filtered for mass consumption.

    Peace.

    Hey iffen,

    As I said in a previous comment, drop all the Jews out of the foreign policy establishment and they would be replaced by gentile warmongers before the Jews could get out of the offices and conference rooms.
     
    Possibly - look, war mongering is not an exclusive monopoly of Semites (any more than prophethood is). Then we could also put pressure on them as well. Neither am I letting the military industrial complex off the hook either. I don't think this is a black and white issue with just Jews under the microscope. If some guy has major stock options in or is on the board of a war manufacturer - that should also be posted under their name because it is a legitimate piece of information - the fact that the guy is half Italian, half Native American may not be in cases dealing with the Middle East.

    To my mind, even if there were no Jews in the foreign policy positions we would still have a disastrous ME policy with all its attendant wars.
     
    Again, this is possible, but the voices clamoring the loudest for war in Iraq (and the whole "Clean Break" crowd) and trying to sell it were top-heavy with these elite NeoCon Jewish voices. The other big crowd were the Evangelicals - they own this mess as well. There were definitely NeoCon people from among the Muslims as well, but they simply were not as prominent.

    I suspect that “your” :) Sunni/Shia global conflict is the main cause.
     
    Not "the" main cause, but a significant contributor - again, something our community needs to own up to.

    Is this what the Jews instigated the Syrian war for?
     
    Look - it is not debatable that the Israelis would rather have the Syrian territory in shambles rather than a strong central government propped up by Iran:
    "'In Syria, if the choice is between Iran and the Islamic State, I choose the Islamic State. They don’t have the capabilities that Iran has,' Ya’alon told a conference held by the Institute of National Security Studies in Tel Aviv."
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/yaalon-i-would-prefer-islamic-state-to-iran-in-syria/

    Israeli-firsters wanted Assad gone, they didn't think he was going to survive - they certainly didn't calculate Russia. The defense minister said, it is preferable that Syria is in ruins under Daesh rather than stable and together under an Irani proxy regime - do you not see the self-serving mentality that goes into that kind of a posture? So this was a massively bad calculation on their part - I agree with Andrei. They screwed up big time!

    And another note, look what the Ya'alon says:
    "Many in the West refuse to acknowledge this — won’t even say ‘radical Islam,'” Ya’alon said. “Of course not every Muslim is a terrorist, but most terrorists in the world today are Muslim. We can’t ignore that."

    Agreed - most of your run-of-the-mill terrorists are Muslim - I'll admit to that. So why should we ignore the Israeli connection (due to ethnicity) in many of the people that are disproportionately represented among the Necons? If we can admit to having our radicals, why can't Jews admit to having a "radical" strain among them?

    Jews have as much right to screw up America as anyone else. This is the crux; either Jews are accepted as equal or they are not.
     
    Agreed - what does full disclosure have anything to do with making them unequal.

    Should all of the churches, organizations, businesses and families of the non-Jewish warmongers be forced to make public disavowals?
     
    You do know as a member of a minority that is automatically asked to disavow anything, anytime some fool like Baghdadi sneezes, I lose absolutely zero in saying everyone should be held to the standards Muslims are held to. And yes, United Methodists did (to their credit) publicly denounced Bush and ask him to repent - sending him a message called:
    “A Prophetic Epistle from United Methodists Calling Our Brother George W. Bush to Repent"
    http://www.wnd.com/2003/06/19162/

    Why can’t we just name the warmongers without additional tags?
     
    Additional tags can be helpful in establishing the whole picture; anything from dual citizenship, ethnic background, if one served in a foreign army, if one gets paid by foreign govts as a consultant, companies one owns stock in, religious persuasion, etc. What is wrong with full disclosure on items pertinent to the subject matter?

    ... you are trying to convince us that any ordinary American has the opportunity to come together with other likeminded Americans to create a Lobby that could counter the influence of the all-powerful Zionist Lobby.
     
    After thinking about it a little more, I realized just how insane the proposition is that average Americans should have to form a lobby to influence their own elected representatives to put the interests of the general public ahead of the interests of the special interests. And this is exactly the situation in which the average American finds himself, today. That's why it is commonly referred to as a "swamp." And expecting the American people to form a lobby so they can take back their gov't isn't the answer. Unfortunately, things have deteriorated to the point where the rot is so deep and widespread, the stench of the swamp so toxic that a root and branch approach is the only solution.

    Hi Geo,

    We are witnessing a "progressive" community mired in identity politics, and not only silent on wars of aggression, but stoking the anti-Russia fervor. In his lament for the phantom US peace movement John Pilger writes, "There is plenty of sound and fury at Trump the odious one, the “fascist”, but almost none at Trump the symptom and caricature of an enduring system of conquest and extremism." The Democrats, split into Hillary and Bernie camps, are still united in their support for militarism. Stephen Lendman writes of Sanders, "He supports America’s imperial agenda, its phony war on terror, raping and destroying nations. He wrongfully blames Hamas for Israeli high crimes." http://stephenlendman.org/2017/09/bernie-sanders-israel-iran/

    Phil Weiss may believe that the Jewish community will fracture over I/P, but will it remain united on Israel/US hegemony in greater ME? Wars for alleged R2P or Israeli security? As it stands, most of the US pro-Palestinian SJWs are anti-Assad, anti-Iran, and anti-Russia. If you are putting hope in the Jews to rebalance themselves and their relation to US, I suggest you review Gilad Atzmon's explanation of Jewish triangulation. And you're pretty funny blaming immigrants for "native" Americans' inability to organize. I guess Joe Sixpack is so absorbed in hating on 'foreigners' that he doesn't have time to talk to Aunt Bee.

    And you’re pretty funny blaming immigrants for “native” Americans’ inability to organize. I guess Joe Sixpack is so absorbed in hating on ‘foreigners’ that he doesn’t have time to talk to Aunt Bee.

    Are Jews (and Evangelicals) who are adamant in their insistence upon the legitimacy of the State of Israel biased to the point that they should be excluded and labeled?

    If, in 2017, Senator Roy Moore introduces a bill that requires any American citizen who professes (or is suspected of professing, or who had any ancestor to the 7th generation that professed) Islam as their faith, and who wishes to enter public service in any capacity, be required to publically disavow the authority and supremacy of the Ulema? Would such legislation just be getting at “bias”?

    Antisemitism is hardly an enigma. It is a natural, immunilogical response of a healthy culture and society to a potential infection which threatens it. The only healthy response is excision. Those ethnic Jews who choose to assimilate and swear an oath of allegiance to their host culture and its normative institutions should be allowed to stay and welcomed. Those who do not should be kicked out. That is the ultimate, time tested formula for success in Europe. Hopefully it will be normative practice for America as well, some day.

    Johnny, please do not pretend naiveté on this forum. Take trouble to attend any of the synagogues in the US, as well as any "cultural" events graced by Jewish luminaries, and you would hear with your own ears how, at some point, there will be a peon to Israel and a plea that all Jews must support Israel. The outliers like Gilad Atzmon are so rare that their influence is negligible. Until we see Jewish mass protests against the ziocons and their policies, the US will continue on its slaughterhouse-path in the Middle East and the Jews worldwide will be perceived as bloody murderers, on the strength of facts: http://www.historycommons.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=neoconinfluence&neoconinfluence_neoconservative_think_tanks
    The Chosen have no shame and no dignity. They use the US as a host. Here is an illustration (simplified) of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovo_T0KqdY

    I’ve never been to a synagogue so I wouldn’t know. I’ve heard that stuff in Christian churches and by televangelist though. A person being exposed to peer pressure in a synagogue and cultural events doesn’t mean that they are so weak as to conform to that pressure. I like statistical proof on such topics as who supports what. Abrahamic religions are an American security concern. No doubt about that. The world would be better without the three worst faiths in human history.

    Hey iffen,

    I will wholeheartedly agree that this is potentially a slippery slope that has the potential for abuse. Unfortunately, if the system wasn't being abused now, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    My question is why is it that only the Jews are questioned?
     
    There are some people that would be accusing Jews of all sorts of vile things even while stamping with boots on the faces of their children. There is not much you can do about certain people - I'm not one of those*.

    However, as geokat brought up the issue of the "green men" calling for war in outer space...the issue is that Jewish people seem to have a problem in their community. Here is the problem (as I see it); the Jewish community has a disproportionate amount of influence on foreign policy - is there any doubt to this? Some of their elite are disproportionately involved in the decisions to go to war, make or break treaties, etc. And they have been putting us on a foreign policy track that the majority of Americans do not approve of and are sick and tired of. And they keep at it, relentlessly and will not leave nor admit being wrong or even mistaken.

    Now if, say, we had a bunch of ethnic Armenians ensconced in such high level positions who were constantly trying to get us into disastrous wars with Turkey or Azerbaijan or Iran in order to make sure Armenia remains top-dog in the region - or to help establish "Greater Armenia", then we would be having conversations about them. And any time you bring up the fact that a disproportionate percentage of them are involved in steering the ship of state towards icebergs, they bring up the Armenian Genocide to beat you down.

    So the problem - for people like me - are not Jews per se, but the fact that so many of their elite are involved in Neocon policy-making - and Mr. Ghiraldi named names and was fairly clear about which kind of Jews he was talking about. Why shouldn't these men and women be brought into the open and their disastrous policies exposed and the Jewish community/orgs asked to disavow them?

    Now every community has a problem. My community certainly has one; our youth are disproportionately involved in terrorist acts in the world - we are constantly putting out statements disavowing people. Every time and incident happens all the Muslim orgs scramble to send out disavowal notices. We have to face up to this and try to do our part to figure out and prevent radicalization of our youth. That is our burden, but that's not going to get anywhere without us first acknowledging there is a problem that we have to own.

    That's not to say there aren't Jews out there trying to fight and expose the beast for what it is - they're just fairly marginalized. And it doesn't let the other non-Jewish Neocon voices off the hook either; I'm fairly sick and tired of men like Zalmay Khalilzad and other Muslims who want to use US power and influence to carry out nonsense imperial policies overseas.

    Peace.

    *In fact, if some people had their way in the West, there would be boatloads of Jews being shipped out regardless of guilt - and if people like me had ours, we'd open up the Muslim lands to resettle them as we had done historically.

    I think that’s a fine idea. Muslims are taught from before they can walk to be wary of Jews. That foreknowledge will keep any Jewish minority in check.

    Hey iffen,

    I will wholeheartedly agree that this is potentially a slippery slope that has the potential for abuse. Unfortunately, if the system wasn't being abused now, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    My question is why is it that only the Jews are questioned?
     
    There are some people that would be accusing Jews of all sorts of vile things even while stamping with boots on the faces of their children. There is not much you can do about certain people - I'm not one of those*.

    However, as geokat brought up the issue of the "green men" calling for war in outer space...the issue is that Jewish people seem to have a problem in their community. Here is the problem (as I see it); the Jewish community has a disproportionate amount of influence on foreign policy - is there any doubt to this? Some of their elite are disproportionately involved in the decisions to go to war, make or break treaties, etc. And they have been putting us on a foreign policy track that the majority of Americans do not approve of and are sick and tired of. And they keep at it, relentlessly and will not leave nor admit being wrong or even mistaken.

    Now if, say, we had a bunch of ethnic Armenians ensconced in such high level positions who were constantly trying to get us into disastrous wars with Turkey or Azerbaijan or Iran in order to make sure Armenia remains top-dog in the region - or to help establish "Greater Armenia", then we would be having conversations about them.

    I feel this is one of the most profound paragraphs in all the commentary on this article.

    Talha’s right. Every time there’s a Muslim gone crazy in Europe, all the local Muslim organisations disavow and carry out vigils, hand in hand with Christian natives. I’m vaguely aware of the existence of Neturei Karta and a few individuals like Finkelstein and Atzmon but I’ve never seen any real life acknowledgement or disavowal of the wrongdoing of Jewry. I think it’s almost always denial and willful ignorance.

    I think that it is obvious that one can’t get to be a genuine notable figure making these “factual” claims and if some such figure were to come out of the closet and make these claims he wouldn’t be a notable figure much longer.
     
    hilarious that Mr. G exposed the vile duplicity of this 'I'm not a Jew!!!' person, who goes around relentlessly insisting that it's not "dem Jews" who wield power, and it's unacceptable to point it out when it is 'dem Jews'

    but then exposes his own trite attempt at guile by admitting that anyone who tells the truth about Jewish power is excommunicated post haste.

    it's like when CNN news anchor Rick Sanchez mentioned Jews run the network, he was canned on the spot, proving that yes, Jews do own and run the networks, and will suffer no criticism as such.

    but you have these pathetic shills running around demanding that there's no consolidated Jewish identity politics at CNN or other (obviously Jewish owned and dominated) networks, and that Jewish ownership and control has ZERO!! to do with any content or any reporting on Israel/Palestine or the serial wars America is forced to fight on behalf of Israel, and any suggestion that it (Jewish ownership) does, it nothing less than the ranting of hatred-consumed Nazis and anti-Semites!!!!

    by their actions, like firing Mr. G from TAC, they only prove how right he is!

    Mr. G, like Joseph Sobran, and so many, many others, simply posses too much integrity as men of character to participate in the shabby fraud, and refuse to bleat the platitudes about the 'emperor's fine and flowing raiment - that one must never, never mention 'dem Jews'.

    And the paradigm that they've set up carefully over generations is to equate any criticism of the actions of some Jews, as a criticism of ALL Jews everywhere, as if because of the Holocaust, all Jews everywhere are immune to any criticism- because they're Jews. Which doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room when it's *obvious* that many Jews who own our media or dominate our financial system - use that power to help other Jews gain power and privilege and position, and often steer our ship of state in ways that are harmful for non-Jews. But you're not allowed to point that out. And if you do, it can only mean you're a closet Himmler who wants to gas all Jews.

    So it's like a pressure cooker, where the outrages of some Jews can never be pointed out, until it simmers and roils under the surface. And one day explodes on the scene, as it did in Germany and other places in history.

    why not just have an honest conversation about Jewish power, and give them credit when they deserve it, and criticism when it's valid?

    hilarious that Mr. G exposed the vile duplicity of this ‘I’m not a Jew!!!’ person, who goes around relentlessly insisting that it’s not “dem Jews” who wield power, and it’s unacceptable to point it out when it is ‘dem Jews’

    Hey iffen,

    Who gets to decide this?
     
    These are details where I get a bit stuck. If we had trustworthy journalism, they'd be asking these questions and bringing up these details to flesh things out.

    do I, as public prosecutor, get to introduce in evidence
     
    Sure, I assume the judge decides whether it is pertinent to the case.

    Anyway, disclosure of Jewish ethnicity is not the issue for me.
     
    So we agree. I would also like disclosure of other details that may be pertinent; some of which I thought were reasonable and outlined.

    I object to calls for disqualifying Jews or any other group from full citizenship.
     
    Again, I am not calling for this - Jews are not a monolith - there are also Jewish people that I find to be fairly reasonable and balanced in their approach to the topic of Israel and the Middle East. I'm not talking those who agree with me 100%, but rather those who are not chicken-hawks like Kristol.

    Having captions reading purveyor of rat poison for Jewish pundits is beyond the pale.
     
    It simply looked to me like he was using hyperbole. Check out Mercer's latest article for grand use of hyperbole - "Life with Islam" - Oy Vey!

    Again, I'm talking about reasonable, pertinent details; for instance, Francis Fukuyama may well fit into the NeoCon framework (having worked with Wolfowitz in the past), but his ethnicity has little to do - intrinsically - with how he relates to the Middle East. Maybe that changes if the Far East is in question when dealing with North Korea and Japan. And I'm willing to undergo the same scrutiny for people in my community - let the discussion include being open and honest about where our biases lie.

    Actually - to be honest - I would be happier with the kind of reporting that goes on in Israel with regard to dissident voices. Seeing some of the stuff I've read in Haaretz and even blatantly honest right-wing Israeli opinions about their callous intentions is a breath of fresh air. I would say the debate is much more lively in Israel; everything reported here is filtered for mass consumption.

    Peace.

    Are Jews (and Evangelicals) who are adamant in their insistence upon the legitimacy of the State of Israel biased to the point that they should be excluded and labeled?

    If, in 2017, Senator Roy Moore introduces a bill that requires any American citizen who professes (or is suspected of professing, or who had any ancestor to the 7th generation that professed) Islam as their faith, and who wishes to enter public service in any capacity, be required to publically disavow the authority and supremacy of the Ulema? Would such legislation just be getting at “bias”?

    Hey iffen,

    Excluded? Of course not.

    Labeled? Sure, why not? As I said - I am biased too - I don't mind having the label Muslim being placed on me when the issue of Israel or the Middle East comes up because that gives the reader/listener a better perspective as to how to gauge what I am saying; are my biases coming through or not, etc.

    Would such legislation just be getting at “bias”?
     
    Yeah - that legislation is getting at bias - a religious bias for sure (though I don't get it in the case of the whole ancestors thing - that's just weird). Then it'll go to court to see if it violates Article 6 "...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

    If it does, the solution is straight forward; 1) strike out the bill as unconstitutional or 2) get a super-majority going to amend the Constitution to get rid of that clause to allow legal discrimination of Muslims in public office positions.

    I can tell you right now, any Muslim running for office already has association with Islam being used against them - so that's just par for the course at this time - been there, done that:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRelEwM4OTo

    But all that aside - what does this hypothetical situation have to do with what I'm talking about; namely simply allowing for public full disclosure of the parts of a person's background (including religion or ethnicity) that relates to them having a bias on a given subject. For instance Andrea Mitchell is a journalist - but she's also married to Alan Greenspan. If the issue of the Federal Reserve came up in a discussion she was involved in (especially when he was in charge), that is a relevant piece of info (not because she married a Jewish guy, but the president of the Fed).

    I'm not talking about laws excluding all Jews from office - others might be.

    Peace.

    Making a set of “factual” statements is usually the path to oblivion if not infamy. That is the only meaning in that statement. Besides, as Iffen points out, he never disputed the power which Jewish groups wield.
     
    and you don't see the contradiction in that?

    so it was "factual" and factual all at the same time, eh? Sort of like true lies?

Perhaps we should collaborate, but then again, would you wish to belong to a club that would have you?

    let the discussion include being open and honest about where our biases lie.

    Are Jews (and Evangelicals) who are adamant in their insistence upon the legitimacy of the State of Israel biased to the point that they should be excluded and labeled?

    If, in 2017, Senator Roy Moore introduces a bill that requires any American citizen who professes (or is suspected of professing, or who had any ancestor to the 7th generation that professed) Islam as their faith, and who wishes to enter public service in any capacity, be required to publically disavow the authority and supremacy of the Ulema? Would such legislation just be getting at “bias”?

    Hey iffen,

    they should be excluded and labeled?

    Excluded? Of course not.

    Labeled? Sure, why not? As I said – I am biased too – I don’t mind having the label Muslim being placed on me when the issue of Israel or the Middle East comes up because that gives the reader/listener a better perspective as to how to gauge what I am saying; are my biases coming through or not, etc.

    Would such legislation just be getting at “bias”?

    Yeah – that legislation is getting at bias – a religious bias for sure (though I don’t get it in the case of the whole ancestors thing – that’s just weird). Then it’ll go to court to see if it violates Article 6 “…no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

    If it does, the solution is straight forward; 1) strike out the bill as unconstitutional or 2) get a super-majority going to amend the Constitution to get rid of that clause to allow legal discrimination of Muslims in public office positions.

    I can tell you right now, any Muslim running for office already has association with Islam being used against them – so that’s just par for the course at this time – been there, done that:

    But all that aside – what does this hypothetical situation have to do with what I’m talking about; namely simply allowing for public full disclosure of the parts of a person’s background (including religion or ethnicity) that relates to them having a bias on a given subject. For instance Andrea Mitchell is a journalist – but she’s also married to Alan Greenspan. If the issue of the Federal Reserve came up in a discussion she was involved in (especially when he was in charge), that is a relevant piece of info (not because she married a Jewish guy, but the president of the Fed).

    I’m not talking about laws excluding all Jews from office – others might be.

    Peace.

    Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
     
    Sorry, I misremembered. If there is a subconscious, I added the 3rd and 4th to get to seven or in light of what genetics informs us these days, I took it upon myself to make a little correction on His behalf. :)

    My point was, of course, that along with all the difficulties involved in deciding whom should be captioned and which bias should be labeled, there is the difficulty of deciding who is a Jew and who is not.

    When Andrea Mitchell is on the air, should she have a caption that says “Married to a Jew”?

    When Janet Yellen is on the air, and she frequently is, should she have a caption that says, “Jew, just like all the other Federal Reserve Chairmen for the last 30 years”?

    Bottom line:

    I think that all identifiers are relevant and denounce any attempts at suppression. I think that it is definitely important information and I use it every day in my thinking. I don’t even read most anonymous comments here for that reason.

    Identification of the speaker as to identities is a completely different issue from what is advocated in this article.

    no ethnic lobby has diverted that policy as far from what the American national interest would otherwise suggest

    So Jews have to pay a penalty because they are better at lobbying than other groups?

    BTW, you never have sent me my very own copy of "the national interest."

    “So Jews have to pay a penalty because they are better at lobbying than other groups?”

    Jewish and North European cultures are different. Jewish culture is more like south European culture. North European/protestant cultures are/were higher trust and less macho than south European cultures. so the salient point is the mixture of cultures; the effect of cultures on each other, and the backstory about why and how those cultures came to be mixed.

    Paul Craig Roberts also cited Jewish-American power in a recent article of his. PCR is always first-rate, but even he was tame compared to this piece by Giraldi.

    Mr. Traficant was a high school football hero. His high school was only two or three years old, thus the team very young, but as quarterback he led the team to a city-wide victory and established the school as one that played hard, played fair, and displayed spirit and pride. Traficant retained his commitment to the school and his city in the many legislative efforts he undertook on their behalf.

    When Traficant came under attack by a certain lobby, so did the school. It, too, has sanitized its textbooks and teaches from only the Facing (((Our))) History program.

    Do you support and would you sign this , I'm curious? I truly applaud efforts like this by Jewish citizenry in America, its not easy for them to go against the grain.

    Statement of support for Professor Rabab Abdulhadi, and students at SFSU under attack by anti-Arab, anti-Muslim group
    http://mondoweiss.net/2017/09/statement-professor-abdulhadi/


    As members of Jewish communities across the United States and around the world, we stand in solidarity with Professor Rabab Ibrahim Abdulhadi, General Union of Palestinian Students and other students and advocates for justice in Palestine at San Francisco State University (SFSU) currently under attack by the Lawfare Project.
    Identifying itself as “the legal arm of the pro-Israel community,” this small but well-funded group filed a suit against SFSU on June 19, 2017. Conflating criticism of Israel and its denial of Palestinian rights with anti-Semitism, the Lawfare Project charges SFSU with violating the rights of Jewish students. The intent is familiar: to silence and punish those advocating for Palestinian rights while downplaying the seriousness of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab racism. Indeed, Lawfare Project Director Brooke Goldstein has dismissed Islamophobia as a “made-up term propagated by the Muslim Brotherhood” and denied the existence of Palestinians, remarking that “there’s no such thing as a Palestinian person.”
    The lawsuit references a 2016 protest by SFSU students of Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, who has a history of racism and ethnic cleansing, demolishing Palestinian homes and implementing a plan for massive displacement to forcibly reduce the size of Palestinian population of Jerusalem. After students protested his talk, an organized group of Zionists falsely charged student protesters with being antisemitic and physically threatening toward Jewish students. SFSU conducted an independent investigation and determined these allegations to be unfounded. The lawsuit names the Board of Trustees of the California State University System, SFSU President Leslie Wong, and several other University officials and employees, including Professor Abdulhadi, senior scholar and director of the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas (AMED) Studies program at SFSU. As Jewish people, we object to this attack on Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim groups, an action produced through the cynical misuse of the notion of antisemitism and the pretense of protecting Jewish students from threats that do not exist.
    In recent years, Dr. Abdulhadi has faced relentless defamation, intimidation, and assaults because of her advocacy for justice in Palestine as part of what she aptly calls “the indivisibility of justice,” including support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. BDS is a strategy to oppose the occupation of Palestine by Israel–it is a global campaign modeled after the successful anti-Apartheid movement for justice in South Africa and is in no way antisemitic. The Lawfare Project has mischaracterized Dr. Abdulhadi’s denunciation of Israeli colonialism and apartheid policies. Like many other Zionist organizations, it purports to speak on behalf of “the legal rights of the Jewish people around the globe,” despite the fact that growing numbers of Jews object to Israeli state violence and work to hold Israel accountable for the ongoing mistreatment of Palestinians.
    We take antisemitism seriously, and so does Professor Abdulhadi. There is nothing inherently antisemitic in promoting Palestinian rights and freedoms, or in opposing the racist violence of the Israeli state–for many, our Jewishness prompts us to take such action in pursuit of justice. Further, Lawfare Project’s tactic of conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism is itself fundamentally antisemitic, because it identifies Jewishness with a litany of racist policies and human rights violations, and marginalizes the ever-increasing numbers of Jews who actively oppose these crimes. Far from doing anything to challenge or eliminate actual antisemitism, the lawsuit bolsters the propagandistic claims of the Israeli government at the expense of academic freedom and the constitutionally protected rights of students and faculty.

    We, the undersigned, call upon SFSU President Dr. Les Wong and CSU Chancellor Dr. Tim White to:
    1) Refuse to settle this lawsuit or concede any of its slanderous allegations, and conduct a vigorous and principled legal defense against this complaint;
    2) Publicly and unambiguously defend the academic freedom and the intellectual reputation of our colleague Prof. Abdulhadi, by making a public statement that clears her name of the vicious and unfounded smear attacks against her, and by doing so to protect the intellectual integrity of SFSU;
    3) Publicly, clearly and unambiguously express your moral and financial support for the AMED Studies program and the College of Ethnic Studies at SFSU, and defend their fundamental role in the SFSU educational mission.
    As Jewish people related to multiple histories of oppression, we demand justice for all people. We know Professor Abdulhadi as an ally over decades of struggle. Many of us have learned from and worked alongside her. We strongly urge SFSU and the CSU to defend her against these attacks.
    To sign the statement please visit here. 


    By the way, Lawfare is also behind the blacklisting of university students who protest against Israeli occupation trying to prevent them from gaining employment after they graduate by smearing them as antisemites.

    … Valerie Plame Wilson made news with her Twitter account last week when, on the first day of Rosh Hashana, she shared an article …

    What does this mean? Are there prohibitions against communication on Rosh Hashana? Is this some sort of dog whistle to Jews that Plame is suspect in her Jewishness?

    The article, which appeared on a fringe website … repeated the well-worn narrative that Jewish neoconservatives promoted the invasion of Iraq — and are beating the drum for a conflict with Iran.

    How can it be well-worn if it only appears on fringe sites?

    I have little interest in piling on Ms. Wilson.

    Then why do it?

    However, if you knew about the Middle East because you came from a missionary family or from the oil industry, you were an expert.

    Maybe the difference is because missionaries don’t have a sovereign state in the ME. Maybe because the oil industry does not have sovereign states

    When James Baker became secretary of state in 1989, he continued to help remove suspicions about Jews from the national security establishment.

    And how did he do that? White papers? Free and open discussions in all the national media of importance?

    So I went on: If he was Irish and had to work on problems related to Ireland or if he was Italian and had to work on Italy, would you ask that question?

    Do you want us to understand that Irish-Americans vis-à-vis Ireland are equivalent to Jewish Americans vis-à-vis Israel? Do you want us to understand that Israel is “just like Ireland”?

    These attitudes foster an “us versus them” mentality.

    So here is my contribution to this us vs. them:

    Indeed, to live a Jewish life one must be committed to the Jewish community, [not like traitors like Plame] but also to others. Jews have an obligation to promote justice, mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace.

    Because as we all know, non-Jews can’t be committed to their community and to others, much less do they have any humanitarian obligations arising from the milieu of their community.

    In the United States, diversity of peoples and opinions is our strength as a democracy.

    In fact, this is actually a weakness. It would be much better to discuss the problem without engaging in mis-direction.

    Listening to one another, as opposed to labeling one another, can restore civil debate.

    So, you and others who are like-minded are going to be after TAC like chickens after a Junebug?

    Wondering if anyone of you can take a second to read this little entry about Israel by John Michael Greer from the Archdruid Report and give me your thoughts, do you agree, disagree??

    “A Cautionary Tale
    Modern Israel is simply a re-incarnation of the Crusader kingdoms. It is an invasion from the West, mainly Europe, supported by the West, to establish a religious-based government in the area. The first time around, it was Roman Catholic, this time, it is Jewish, but the dynamic is the same.
    The Crusader kingdoms lasted a couple of hundred years, which is long, measured against the span of a single human life, but rather short, considering the whole sweep of history. Those Crusader kingdoms, like modern Israel, could only be established, and continue to survive, so long as their Western base (at that time, Europe) continued to provide support.
    Given the ups and downs that all great empires experience, it is only a matter of time before Israel’s sponsors and benefactors in the West (this time, it’s America), are distracted by some other problem, whether it’s a war, a depression, or some other difficulty, and will be unable, or unwilling to maintain support.

    Those Crusader kingdoms, like modern Israel, could only be established, and continue to survive, so long as their Western base (at that time, Europe) continued to provide support.

    How very interesting – the parallels are substantial.

    Historically the Jews implode – they break up into mini-tribes and fight each other. Today in Israel, there is a very real cast system headed by Euro Jews. The only thing that keeps them together is all the help given to them by the diaspora Jews.

    There truly is a fanatical element in the Jews makeup. Today fanatical Zionism rules Israel. This will not change without a cataclysm.

    Zionism has/had support from secular, religious, imperialist and other groups.

    Protestants tend to support Israel more so than Catholics.

    I think:

    Catholics supported Israel, in the sense that it gives them their own country, and Europe can be free from Jews. (less tension). in Catholicism Israel is spiritual, not a country or chosen Jews.

    Protestants because most think modern Israel is Biblical, end times, return of some messiah, (orthodox and catholics believe this to be the antichrist).

    Freemasons because of solomons temple, and stuff like that.

    Very interesting, Mike Johnson.

    Perhaps I give The Wizards of Tel Aviv too much credit, but they are not in the business of "making strategic blunders."

    Besides, even when Israel does make a transparent strategic blunder, for one example, doing & mindlessly covering up their central role in the 9/11 attacks, they simply "move on" minus any serious accountability.

    Strategic blunders are made by those nations former-Secretary of (offensive) Defense called "dead enders."

    Otherwise, I for one give a bright green bird (Saladin) light to "A Cautionary Tale" for provoking both history-based & long term thought. (Sigh) However, and lest anyone happen to forget, elite and influential secular US Jews encourage the masses to "think-outside-the-box" as long as its external borders are not trespassed.

    Very sad for me to say, but few intelligent, conscientious & daring writers trespass. One example for our time is P. Giraldi. And "peace be upon him."

    Sometimes, I would find this view expressed subtly. Other times it would be overt, including well after Secretary of State George Shultz tried to change the culture of the State Department during the early years of the Reagan’ administration. For Mr. Shultz, being Jewish was no longer a disqualification from working on Arab-Israeli issues. He was more interested in your knowledge than your identity. He made me, someone who is Jewish and was working on the National Security Council staff at the time, a member of the small team working with him on Arab-Israeli diplomacy. (Daniel Kurtzer, who is also Jewish and a career Foreign Service Officer, was on that team as well.)

    Clearly, no question – with the Jew Shultz in charge of the State Department – America First went away.

    "A Cautionary Tale
    Modern Israel is simply a re-incarnation of the Crusader kingdoms. It is an invasion from the West, mainly Europe, supported by the West, to establish a religious-based government in the area. The first time around, it was Roman Catholic, this time, it is Jewish, but the dynamic is the same.

    Given the ups and downs that all great empires experience, it is only a matter of time before Israel's sponsors and benefactors in the West (this time, it's America), are distracted by some other problem, whether it's a war, a depression, or some other difficulty, and will be unable, or unwilling to maintain support.

  1134. Interesting, Mike Johnson.

    One aspect that distinguishes Israel from the “Crusader Kingdom” pattern is that Israel has turned on its European sponsors: the very first supporters — maybe not sponsors but certainly supporters — of Jewish settlement in Palestine, was Germany. During that period, Jews and Arabs lived together harmoniously.

    WWI ended that.
    Germans were not whistling Dixie when they griped of ‘stab in the back.’

    Eastern European Jews gambled that Britain would win WWI (they used loaded dice: Chaim Weizmann maneuvered to involve USA in war, in exchange for British promise of a homeland for Jews. So now British are sponsors of the Jewish “Crusader Kingdom.” Indeed, the Brits established the mandate for their own purposes as well: Jews were to be the guardians of important transits to India & elsewhere in British empire.
    Well before WWII ended, the Jewish settlers in Palestine turned on the British, harried them, killed a lot of British troops who were trying to keep the peace between Jews and Arabs, until finally the British abandoned the project. see Zionist Terrorism and Imperial Response: British Policies towards Jewish Resistance in Palestine 1944-1948, by Robert Lackner

    Enter USA.

    This pattern, of Jewish settlers of Israel turning on their sponsors, gives an inkling of how this statement of yours will play out:

    You wrote:

    during their present Crusader kingdom phase; the Israelis will act so badly, will develop such a reputation, and will be hated so much, as a result of their actions, that when Israel’s survival conditions no longer exist (i.e., U.S. support) . . .

    Putting on my Swami hat: US will not withdraw its support, Israel will turn on USA. This is a drop-dead certainty.
    Less certain but possible is that Zionist Jews will stir up so much turmoil in USA that Jews in USA will be induced to/ scared into leaving USA for Israel. By that time, USA will be an economic basket case, by design. There may even be a hot war/revolution/secessionist movements taking place in USA. Jews will call it antisemitic persecution of Jews and will urge American Jews to leave. Germany 1933 redux.

    and when a new Saladin emerges, they [Jews] will be thrown out of the Middle East, entirely.

    I don’t think the last part will happen.

    Try this scenario: I believe Jews in Israel (and elsewhere) are already planning for the time when they will throw out USA, and they have a new ‘Saladin’ lined up: Saudi Arabia will fill the bill in the short term, providing shit-stirring functions to harry Israel’s restive neighbors and keep them unstable and off-balance, until China has One Belt One Road pretty fully operational and China has fully eclipsed USA as economic superpower, then Israel will complete its link-up with China. Israel is also already planning for alliance with India http://jppi.org.il/new/en/article/english-india-israel-and-the-jewish-people/#.WcrR7xR7PzI (Nikki Haley was not chosen for her southern charm).

    I was going to ‘predict’ that Israel will ally with Russia, maybe even with Iran, but that’s just a hunch, not based on Israeli documents. If the pattern that I perceive holds true, it’s pretty certain USA will be odd man out.

    In the past I have expressed that exact same sentiment.

    The Jews and Chinese are brother tribalists. They both feel slighted – they both have a giant chip on their shoulders. And they both love money. They both have tribal tunnel vision. (The Jews are bloodier.)

    In the next 50 years, the combination of Jew control of Western banking and communications, and the Chinese productive capacity are going to be a one two blow to the world’s prospects for a stability. They will both need more control over the masses to maintain their power.

    But in the long run, they will user in the end of the nation state. The breakup of the nation state is already in progress. Different peoples are demanding autonomy. Small local control is gaining steam. Jew corporate globalization and the massive Chinese state will be seen as the enemy of the common folks. The modern economic serfdom of the central banking and 1% ownership of production and communications will end.

    The nation state will be replaced by local ownership of goods, services, and government by local folks.

    @Philip Giraldi
    It is true Chuck - I was fired yesterday morning!

    Walt and Mearsheimer’s playing field totally changed after their landmark book, The Israel Lobby came out but where some opportunities close, others will open :

    After article was rejected and publishers yawned, Walt and Mearsheimer dropped ‘The Israel Lobby’ in 2005

    http://mondoweiss.net/2017/09/powerful-mearsheimer-publishing/

    Publication ruined both men’s chances to serve in government or in university administration. Mearsheimer:
    I had no interest whatsoever in a government position. But I did think that when we wrote the piece, that it would mean that we would never get a high level government position. Even medium level government position. It would also make it almost impossible for us to get any meaningful administrative job in the academic world.
    Mearsheimer was then 59 years old and in Chicago. But Steve Walt was a sprightly 50 and on I-95, on the Harvard springboard to presidential elbows. The book forever changed his horizon:
    I was academic dean in the Kennedy School. I think it’s fair to say that both universities did stand by us in the sense that they didn’t put any formal censure on us. There were various ways of what you might call informal marginalization at least for a while, because the leaderships in both universities were very nervous about the fallout. Universities don’t really like controversy very much.
    I did understand that this was probably going to eliminate any possibility of government service in my case, which is  something I do regret, because it’s something I would have appreciated, had that opportunity presented itself at some point down the road.
    Walt went on to say that they had to do it. “If we weren’t willing to do that, then hardly anybody else would be. We couldn’t lose our jobs. We didn’t necessarily need government employment to pay the mortgage.”
    The two men actually gave up on the article and book years before it was published because doors kept closing. Here is some of the history.
    Mearsheimer spoke about the idea first at the American Political Science Association meetings in Boston in 2002; and a friend said the Atlantic wanted to commission an article on that very subject. The Atlantic magazine assigned Walt and Mearsheimer in 2002. Then it got cold feet and killed the piece in early 2005. At that time, Walt said, the two scholars thought that no other outlet in the United States would publish it, but they could flesh it out as a “short book,” so they consulted a “number” of publishers and a couple of literary agents.
    We got what you would call polite interest but nothing you could call enthusiasm. At one point we basically decided to drop the project entirely.
    Jesus H. Christ.
    After that, though, an editor who had a copy of the piece showed it to a scholar at UCLA who reached out to Mearsheimer and said the London Review of Books might be interested. The LRB version was eventually published in March 2006, and “provoked an immediate firestorm,” Walt said.
    Ironically once it provoked that firestorm, suddenly publishers and literary agents recognized that there was a product people were interested in and suddenly they were contacting us and offering us book contracts.
    Mearshimer said it was the internet that published that piece as much as the LRB:
    The internet was indispensable for making this article available to people all over the world. If this had been published in the London Review of Books in 1985 or 1990 when there was no internet, hardly anybody would have taken notice. But in the age of the internet, this article just ricocheted all over the world very, very quickly.
    Rashid Khalidi at Columbia University told me that the morning after the piece had hit the internet, 14 different people had sent him a link for the piece. It was such a big bombshell.
    Now here is the sad conclusion. Mearsheimer:
    I don’t think we– or anyone else– has  had much influence on policy. I think the lobby is still as powerful as ever. It’s now more out in the open, and that’s not necessarily a good thing for a lobby, but it’s still remarkably effective. This is why you saw all those Republicans falling all over themselves in the 2016 Republican primaries to say how devoted they were to Israel, because they understand that you don’t want to cross the lobby.
    Or to put that another way: This interview was not on 60 Minutes, MSNBC, or the New York Times!

    The most recent Hagmann interview is one of her best. 9/11 was not only an “inside job.” It was a Mossad/CIA inside job. Not all Jewish, Gentiles involved too, no doubt about it. Perhaps in the latter case, the motives are even lower. Probably no Arabs or Moslems involved at all with the execution of the whole.

    "A Cautionary Tale
    Modern Israel is simply a re-incarnation of the Crusader kingdoms. It is an invasion from the West, mainly Europe, supported by the West, to establish a religious-based government in the area. The first time around, it was Roman Catholic, this time, it is Jewish, but the dynamic is the same.
    The Crusader kingdoms lasted a couple of hundred years, which is long, measured against the span of a single human life, but rather short, considering the whole sweep of history. Those Crusader kingdoms, like modern Israel, could only be established, and continue to survive, so long as their Western base (at that time, Europe) continued to provide support.
    Given the ups and downs that all great empires experience, it is only a matter of time before Israel's sponsors and benefactors in the West (this time, it's America), are distracted by some other problem, whether it's a war, a depression, or some other difficulty, and will be unable, or unwilling to maintain support. It is also just a matter of time before the Muslim world has another of it's resurgences. It has happened before, including the original period of the spread of Islam, the age of Saladin, (when the Crusader kingdoms were wiped out), and during the heyday of the Ottomans.
    When those conditions come together, modern Israel, as we know it, will disappear. That is not to say, however that the population of Israel will disappear. There, are, after all, Maronite Christians still living in Lebanon, and elsewhere in the Middle East, including present day Israel, West Bank, and Gaza. There are even a few Assyrians in the region, even though their empire collapsed a couple of millenia ago.
    The fate of the Jewish people in Israel, as opposed to the Jewish state, itself, will depend upon how Israelis treat the majority population of the Middle East. If the Israelis act humanely and fairly, they will most likely be living there, raising their families, and practicing their culture, long after the present Israeli regime collapses, just as they did in many Middle Eastern countries for centuries, prior to 1948.
    But the long term danger is that during their present Crusader kingdom phase; the Israelis will act so badly, will develop such a reputation, and will be hated so much, as a result of their actions, that when Israel's survival conditions no longer exist (i.e., U.S. support); and when a new Saladin emerges, they will be thrown out of the Middle East, entirely.
    Israel wins short-term tactical victories, but is making a huge strategic blunder, with it's present policies. The people of Gaza, and Jenin, and Hebron, are going to remember what has happened to them for generations. They will probably build museums to keep the memorabilia of their suffering, and they will teach their children to say: (in the ultimate irony) "Never again".
    Call it Kharma, or simply say: "what goes around, comes around".

    Those Crusader kingdoms, like modern Israel, could only be established, and continue to survive, so long as their Western base (at that time, Europe) continued to provide support.

    How very interesting – the parallels are substantial.

    Historically the Jews implode – they break up into mini-tribes and fight each other. Today in Israel, there is a very real cast system headed by Euro Jews. The only thing that keeps them together is all the help given to them by the diaspora Jews.

    Modern Israel is simply a re-incarnation of the Crusader kingdoms. It is an invasion from the West, mainly Europe, supported by the West, to establish a religious-based government in the area. The first time around, it was Roman Catholic, this time, it is Jewish, but the dynamic is the same.
    The Crusader kingdoms lasted a couple of hundred years, which is long, measured against the span of a single human life, but rather short, considering the whole sweep of history. Those Crusader kingdoms, like modern Israel, could only be established, and continue to survive, so long as their Western base (at that time, Europe) continued to provide support.
    Given the ups and downs that all great empires experience, it is only a matter of time before Israel's sponsors and benefactors in the West (this time, it's America), are distracted by some other problem, whether it's a war, a depression, or some other difficulty, and will be unable, or unwilling to maintain support. It is also just a matter of time before the Muslim world has another of it's resurgences. It has happened before, including the original period of the spread of Islam, the age of Saladin, (when the Crusader kingdoms were wiped out), and during the heyday of the Ottomans.
    When those conditions come together, modern Israel, as we know it, will disappear. That is not to say, however that the population of Israel will disappear. There, are, after all, Maronite Christians still living in Lebanon, and elsewhere in the Middle East, including present day Israel, West Bank, and Gaza. There are even a few Assyrians in the region, even though their empire collapsed a couple of millenia ago.
    The fate of the Jewish people in Israel, as opposed to the Jewish state, itself, will depend upon how Israelis treat the majority population of the Middle East. If the Israelis act humanely and fairly, they will most likely be living there, raising their families, and practicing their culture, long after the present Israeli regime collapses, just as they did in many Middle Eastern countries for centuries, prior to 1948.
    But the long term danger is that during their present Crusader kingdom phase; the Israelis will act so badly, will develop such a reputation, and will be hated so much, as a result of their actions, that when Israel's survival conditions no longer exist (i.e., U.S. support); and when a new Saladin emerges, they will be thrown out of the Middle East, entirely.
    Israel wins short-term tactical victories, but is making a huge strategic blunder, with it's present policies. The people of Gaza, and Jenin, and Hebron, are going to remember what has happened to them for generations. They will probably build museums to keep the memorabilia of their suffering, and they will teach their children to say: (in the ultimate irony) "Never again".
    Call it Kharma, or simply say: "what goes around, comes around".

    Zionism has/had support from secular, religious, imperialist and other groups.

    Protestants tend to support Israel more so than Catholics.

    I think:

    Catholics supported Israel, in the sense that it gives them their own country, and Europe can be free from Jews. (less tension). in Catholicism Israel is spiritual, not a country or chosen Jews.

    Protestants because most think modern Israel is Biblical, end times, return of some messiah, (orthodox and catholics believe this to be the antichrist).

    Freemasons because of solomons temple, and stuff like that.

    Hey iffen,

    they should be excluded and labeled?
     
    Excluded? Of course not.

    Labeled? Sure, why not? As I said - I am biased too - I don't mind having the label Muslim being placed on me when the issue of Israel or the Middle East comes up because that gives the reader/listener a better perspective as to how to gauge what I am saying; are my biases coming through or not, etc.

    Would such legislation just be getting at “bias”?
     
    Yeah - that legislation is getting at bias - a religious bias for sure (though I don't get it in the case of the whole ancestors thing - that's just weird). Then it'll go to court to see if it violates Article 6 "...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

    If it does, the solution is straight forward; 1) strike out the bill as unconstitutional or 2) get a super-majority going to amend the Constitution to get rid of that clause to allow legal discrimination of Muslims in public office positions.

    I can tell you right now, any Muslim running for office already has association with Islam being used against them - so that's just par for the course at this time - been there, done that:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRelEwM4OTo

    But all that aside - what does this hypothetical situation have to do with what I'm talking about; namely simply allowing for public full disclosure of the parts of a person's background (including religion or ethnicity) that relates to them having a bias on a given subject. For instance Andrea Mitchell is a journalist - but she's also married to Alan Greenspan. If the issue of the Federal Reserve came up in a discussion she was involved in (especially when he was in charge), that is a relevant piece of info (not because she married a Jewish guy, but the president of the Fed).

    I'm not talking about laws excluding all Jews from office - others might be.

    Peace.

    Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

    Sorry, I misremembered. If there is a subconscious, I added the 3rd and 4th to get to seven or in light of what genetics informs us these days, I took it upon myself to make a little correction on His behalf. :)

    My point was, of course, that along with all the difficulties involved in deciding whom should be captioned and which bias should be labeled, there is the difficulty of deciding who is a Jew and who is not.

    When Andrea Mitchell is on the air, should she have a caption that says “Married to a Jew”?

    When Janet Yellen is on the air, and she frequently is, should she have a caption that says, “Jew, just like all the other Federal Reserve Chairmen for the last 30 years”?

    Bottom line:

    I think that all identifiers are relevant and denounce any attempts at suppression. I think that it is definitely important information and I use it every day in my thinking. I don’t even read most anonymous comments here for that reason.

    Identification of the speaker as to identities is a completely different issue from what is advocated in this article.

    The answer is an unqualified – YES - if the audience is unaware that she is a Jew – then they should be informed.

    She being a Jew is highly relevant to the America people. The fact that Jews have run the Fed for over thirty years strait is even more relevant.

    For the last thirty years these Jews have risked our monetary system with ever more debt – personal and government. Savers now get near ZERO interest – and the 1% get near interest free money. Wall Street syphons off a slice of almost every transaction in America.

    There are now three things that are inevitable – death, taxes, and Wall Street getting a slice off of every transaction.

    The Jews have done this – it is relevant to all Americans.

    Interesting, Mike Johnson.

    One aspect that distinguishes Israel from the "Crusader Kingdom" pattern is that Israel has turned on its European sponsors: the very first supporters -- maybe not sponsors but certainly supporters -- of Jewish settlement in Palestine, was Germany. During that period, Jews and Arabs lived together harmoniously.

    WWI ended that.
    Germans were not whistling Dixie when they griped of 'stab in the back.'

    Eastern European Jews gambled that Britain would win WWI (they used loaded dice: Chaim Weizmann maneuvered to involve USA in war, in exchange for British promise of a homeland for Jews. So now British are sponsors of the Jewish "Crusader Kingdom." Indeed, the Brits established the mandate for their own purposes as well: Jews were to be the guardians of important transits to India & elsewhere in British empire.
    Well before WWII ended, the Jewish settlers in Palestine turned on the British, harried them, killed a lot of British troops who were trying to keep the peace between Jews and Arabs, until finally the British abandoned the project. see Zionist Terrorism and Imperial Response: British Policies towards Jewish Resistance in Palestine 1944-1948, by Robert Lackner

    Enter USA.

    This pattern, of Jewish settlers of Israel turning on their sponsors, gives an inkling of how this statement of yours will play out:

    You wrote:


    during their present Crusader kingdom phase; the Israelis will act so badly, will develop such a reputation, and will be hated so much, as a result of their actions, that when Israel’s survival conditions no longer exist (i.e., U.S. support) . . .
     
    Putting on my Swami hat: US will not withdraw its support, Israel will turn on USA. This is a drop-dead certainty.
    Less certain but possible is that Zionist Jews will stir up so much turmoil in USA that Jews in USA will be induced to/ scared into leaving USA for Israel. By that time, USA will be an economic basket case, by design. There may even be a hot war/revolution/secessionist movements taking place in USA. Jews will call it antisemitic persecution of Jews and will urge American Jews to leave. Germany 1933 redux.

    and when a new Saladin emerges, they [Jews] will be thrown out of the Middle East, entirely.
     
    I don't think the last part will happen.

    Try this scenario: I believe Jews in Israel (and elsewhere) are already planning for the time when they will throw out USA, and they have a new 'Saladin' lined up: Saudi Arabia will fill the bill in the short term, providing shit-stirring functions to harry Israel's restive neighbors and keep them unstable and off-balance, until China has One Belt One Road pretty fully operational and China has fully eclipsed USA as economic superpower, then Israel will complete its link-up with China. Israel is also already planning for alliance with India http://jppi.org.il/new/en/article/english-india-israel-and-the-jewish-people/#.WcrR7xR7PzI (Nikki Haley was not chosen for her southern charm).

    I was going to 'predict' that Israel will ally with Russia, maybe even with Iran, but that's just a hunch, not based on Israeli documents. If the pattern that I perceive holds true, it's pretty certain USA will be odd man out.

    Fifteen years ago Dennis Ross was the charter chairman of the committee to plan for that eventuality http://powerbase.info/index.php/Jewish_People_Policy_Institute

    http://jppi.org.il/new/en/library/publications/#.WcrRHxR7PzI

    and especially
    http://jppi.org.il/new/en/article/english-policy-paper-china-and-the-jewish-people/#.WcrRdxR7PzI

    until China has One Belt One Road pretty fully operational and China has fully eclipsed USA as economic superpower, then Israel will complete its link-up with China.

    In the past I have expressed that exact same sentiment.

    The Jews and Chinese are brother tribalists. They both feel slighted – they both have a giant chip on their shoulders. And they both love money. They both have tribal tunnel vision. (The Jews are bloodier.)

    In the next 50 years, the combination of Jew control of Western banking and communications, and the Chinese productive capacity are going to be a one two blow to the world’s prospects for a stability. They will both need more control over the masses to maintain their power.

    But in the long run, they will user in the end of the nation state. The breakup of the nation state is already in progress. Different peoples are demanding autonomy. Small local control is gaining steam. Jew corporate globalization and the massive Chinese state will be seen as the enemy of the common folks. The modern economic serfdom of the central banking and 1% ownership of production and communications will end.

    The nation state will be replaced by local ownership of goods, services, and government by local folks.

    Very interesting, Mike Johnson.

    Perhaps I give The Wizards of Tel Aviv too much credit, but they are not in the business of “making strategic blunders.”

    Besides, even when Israel does make a transparent strategic blunder, for one example, doing & mindlessly covering up their central role in the 9/11 attacks, they simply “move on” minus any serious accountability.

    Strategic blunders are made by those nations former-Secretary of (offensive) Defense called “dead enders.”

    Otherwise, I for one give a bright green bird (Saladin) light to “A Cautionary Tale” for provoking both history-based & long term thought. (Sigh) However, and lest anyone happen to forget, elite and influential secular US Jews encourage the masses to “think-outside-the-box” as long as its external borders are not trespassed.

    Very sad for me to say, but few intelligent, conscientious & daring writers trespass. One example for our time is P. Giraldi. And “peace be upon him.”

    Thank you… frankly I am a pessimistic optimist.

    Selah by deception we do war.

    Did y’all get a chance to read the article our ardent hasbarist linked to in his response to Talha (see comment #1128)? It was written by Israel’s lawyer, Dennis Ross.

    I suspect he directed it to Talha because of this sentence:

    It is the same today with those who single out all Muslims as dangerous extremists. It is just as unacceptable.

    Totally unacceptable. Dropping bombs on them is just fine, but don’t you dare try singling them out as extremists.

    While it’s worth reading the entire article, I’ve reproduced the more pertinent sections with my commentary provided in [square brackets]:

    Of course, most Jews are not neoconservatives, and most neoconservatives are not Jewish [his first of many blatent lies]…

    When James Baker became secretary of state in 1989, he continued to help remove suspicions about Jews from the national security establishment. And yet, I remember well the time in 1990, when I was the head of the State Department’s policy planning staff, I was visited by a diplomatic security investigator who was doing a background check on someone who had listed me as a reference. This person was being considered for a senior position in the George H. W. Bush administration, not one directly involved with the Middle East.

    At one point, the investigator asked me a question that is routine in these background checks: Was this person loyal to the United States? I answered yes, without a doubt. But his follow-up question was if this person had to choose between America’s interests and Israel’s, whose interests would he put first? There was nothing subtle about this presumption of dual loyalty.

    “Why would you ask that question?” I asked, even though I realized I might not be helping the person using me as a reference. He answered, “Because he is Jewish.” So I went on: If he was Irish and had to work on problems related to Ireland or if he was Italian and had to work on Italy, would you ask that question? [why the hell not?] Initially, the investigator did not seem to know how to respond, [of course he didn't, he was completely stumped by such a challenging question] but then I saw a look of recognition. He suddenly realized that I was Jewish. And, at that point, he changed the subject.

    This investigator was not a rookie. And his experience with senior State Department officials led him to believe it was natural to ask this question. Like most mythologies which take on a life of their own, the idea that Jewish-Americans might have dual loyalties was not challenged or questioned, it was assumed. [it's a myth I tell you! although most would readily admit they have a passionate attachment to the Jewish state, why would anyone suspect they might harbour dual loyalties?] That made it all the more insidious.

    Just like Ms. Wilson tweeting that Jews are pushing for a new war. It is the definition of prejudice. [I'm sure had Giraldi opted to go with the title"America's Jewish neocons are driving America's wars, it would have obviated the need for Dennis Ross to write this article] How can it not be when you label a whole group and ascribe to all those who are a part of it a particular negative trait or threatening behavior? It is the same today with those who single out all Muslims as dangerous extremists. It is just as unacceptable.

    Today, surging nationalism and xenophobia promise to create even more prejudice. These attitudes foster an “us versus them” mentality. The “other” is a threat. [isn't this the fundamental premise on which Zionist ideology is based?] And once you have singled out groups, the leap is small to imposing limits on them, quarantining them and rationalizing violence against them.

    Rather than be worried about being mistrusted and accused of dual loyalties, Jewish American should feel proud.[nb, this need not apply to Italian American, Anglo American, Franco American, etc. btw, isn't the term Jewish American a bit of an oddity? Isn't the more common expression "American Jew"? - i.e., "American" the adjective modifying "Jew" the noun?) In uncertain times, identity can provide a source of security and comfort. [again, not for European or European-derived people] And having a strong identity, being comfortable with who you are and whom you are connected to, need not come at the expense of others. [oh really! tell that to the European and European-derived countries who've had the demographics of their populations completely transformed to ensure some people retain their strong identity] As my rabbi, Jonathan Maltzman, pointed out in his Rosh Hashana sermon, the particular and the universal have always been embedded in Jewish identity. [no mention of an American identity]

    Indeed, to live a Jewish life one must be committed to the Jewish community, but also to others.[why do I get the sense that the "but also to others" may have been an after thought?] Jews have an obligation to promote justice, mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace. [and the proof is in the pudding, One need only look at the fruits of their labour in MENA to grasp the veracity of this statement]

    In the United States, diversity of peoples and opinions is our strength as a democracy. [he should have given credit to Abe Foman and the ADL for use of their tagline] Listening to one another, as opposed to labeling one another, can restore civil debate. It is certainly the only way to produce better policies. [here we were in desparate search for better policies when Dennis Ross had the answer all along. Forget about the 11 demands I've put forward to drain the swamp, we just need to listen to one another] And it might even introduce greater care and civility to Twitter. [who was that said lawyers don't have a sense of humour?]

    Here's the response Philip Weiss just posted on MW to the article written by Dennis Ross in the NYT, ‘NYT’ leaves out Dennis Ross’s charge to US Jews: ‘We need to be advocates for Israel’

    Once again The New York Times defers to supporters of Israel. It gives the pro-Israel peace processor Dennis Ross a platform on the op-ed page to talk about anti-Semitism in the State Department back in the 80s and 90s.

    “Memories of an Anti-Semitic State Department” is a clever dodge on Ross’s part. It is supposedly a response to the controversy over Phil Giraldi’s piece at Unz Review on American Jews running the “war engine” in U.S. foreign policy — a piece that former CIA agent/hero Valerie Plame retweeted and was shamed for doing so, and over which Giraldi lost his job at the American Conservative.

    Ross argues that Jews shouldn’t be questioned about dual loyalty:

    Rather than be worried about being mistrusted and accused of dual loyalties, Jewish American should feel proud. In uncertain times, identity can provide a source of security and comfort….

    Indeed, to live a Jewish life one must be committed to the Jewish community, but also to others. Jews have an obligation to promote justice, mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace.
     
    This is a dodge because Dennis Ross never mentions Zionism, just Jews. But Ross is a committed Zionist who told a synagogue audience last spring–supposedly off the record– about their Zionist marching orders:

    Jews should not advocate for Palestinians because we don’t live in Israel, and we won’t suffer the consequences of our criticism.

    Because we don’t live there, we don’t bear the consequences of the decision… Plenty of others are advocates for the Palestinians. We don’t need to be advocates for Palestinians. We need to be advocates for Israel.
     
    So much for justice and compassion.

    I disapprove of Giraldi’s broadbrush prejudicial attack, but the Times is still evading the criticism that Walt and Mearsheimer issued 11 years ago, thanks to the internet, and that continues to haunt the organized Jewish community: To what extent was the Iraq war pushed by neoconservative Jews who were concerned about Israel’s security. Joe Klein raised the Jewish neoconservative issue years ago and was pilloried for doing so:

    The fact that a great many Jewish neoconservatives–people like Joe Lieberman and the crowd over at Commentary–plumped for this war, and now for an even more foolish assault on Iran, raised the question of divided loyalties: using U.S. military power, U.S. lives and money, to make the world safe for Israel.
     
    And yes: American Jews were overwhelmingly against that war. But: a, the community deferred to the neocons as it traditionally has done, because they are the self-appointed guardians of Israel’s security; so even the Reform Jews signed off on the Iraq war (and my brother informed me that his Jewish newspaper said this war could be “good for Israel”); b, Thanks to Sheldon Adelson and others, neoconservative Jews who were opposed to the peace process got policy-making positions in the Bush administration, including Douglas Feith at the infamous Office of Special Plans at the Pentagon, which distilled a lot of the lies needed to justify the invasion of Iraq. Colin Powell later blamed the war on the “JINSA crowd” — the neoconservative Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. Philip Zelikow, a Bush aide who chaired the 9/11 Commission, said in 2002 that the war was being planned because of “the threat that dare not speak its name”– Iraq’s “threat to Israel.”

    Ross is chair of a Zionist organization, the Jewish People Policy Institute, and was part of the White House negotiating team that Aaron David Miller admitted later, “acted as Israel’s lawyer.” Ross needs to be challenged: How many open non-Zionists or anti-Zionists have ever had high ranking positions involved with policy on the Palestinians?

    On a related note, Democratic senators lately questioned a Catholic nominee to the federal court about her religious beliefs as they bear on abortion law:

    “The dogma lives loudly within you,” [Senator Dianne] Feinstein said. “And that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for for years in this country.”
     
    Two law professors writing in the Times justified the line of inquiry as an effort to “explore” a complex legal and moral question. By the same standard, Zionists who are appointed to Mideast policy positions ought to be questioned about the depth of their commitment to a Jewish state. As Irving Kristol, a neocon patriarch, laid out the understanding many years ago,

    [I]t is now an interest of the Jews to have a large and powerful military establishment in the United States… American Jews who care about the survival of the state of Israel have to say, no, we don’t want to cut the military budget, it is important to keep that military budget big, so that we can defend Israel.

    This is a reply to “Philip Giraldi’s Remedy for Wars” by Shamir, but he does not post it!!!!!!!

    ******

    This article is biased because he has ignored the power of the tribe worldwide. He writes:

    [Did the US keep out of wars before the Rise of Jews in late 1960s?]

    great bit of history, anomos

    do you have similar research on Jews in medicine?
    Jews run the organization that decides who goes to medical school.
    Jewish firms -- many of them based in Israel and run for the benefit of Israel -- figure large in off-patent medicines.
    It was Jews who first took hospitals from an eleemocenary or at least non-profit basis to a for-profit system, only about 30 years ago. It was when providing medical care became a for-profit industry that "health insurance" became first lady Hillary Clinton's hobby: how to make it possible, even necessary, for the Masses to become paying customers of Jewish run for profit hospitals, and have US taxpayers guarantee and subsidize payment?

    All this "Jews this" and "Jews that" just feels simply not quite right.

    Can't really put my finger on it, but reminds me of blaming tobacco companies executives/marketing/sales people for smoking induced health issues.
    Or, blaming food companies executives/marketing/sales people for being overweight.

    Feels......disingenuous.

    Jews rule media. Media is this/that.
    Fine....don't read/buy/watch/enjoy it.
    Or, more likely....I do like that, and I do know it's bad, but, I also do have that "Jews did it". No blame on myself. None.

    US itself was created by constant expansion, mostly by force of arms. Since its creation. Since The War of 1812.
    Blaming Jews for all that is just......not correct.

    Nobody disputes they are what they are.
    Cynic would say they are just better in that then other competitors in the same game.

    But, blaming post Cold War US foreign policy just on Jews is ...wrong.

    There is their portion of blame, of course.
    But, there is a lot to blame other players too.

    I guess that properly appointing the blame on all the players would be good.

    Maybe starting with some of core US values wouldn't be a bad idea?

    “Jews did it”. No blame on myself. None.

    Pure projection.

I check my ‘running applications’, it only has mail and this, but there is a droning lecture on Zionism, in the background, too. From my admin. experience, I would suggest permanently banning that user as a good idea. Test it yourselves (but they will probably stopping it as soon as seeing this).

    Excuse me for going into a small rant.

    The photo of Helen Heyer in initial press has no resemblance to the pile of blubber who threw her hippopotamus-like form over the bonnet of a car.

    Any net-aware knows of ‘fat girl angle shot’, but in the case of the published face pic of ‘Heyer’, and the pics of her blubbery, corpulent flab on the bonnet of a car, there is no resemblance. She also seems to have thrown her hippopotamus-shaped body there, and died of a heart attack (from too much chocolate and fried chicken).

    I'm strongly against any war with Iran, but this comes of as an unhinged and bigoted rant. Not nearly everyone who is pushing for war with Iran is Jewish, and this narrative perpetuates the myth, beloved by alt-right types and paleocons, of a well-intentioned but naive Trump administration that was hijacked by Jewish neocons. In reality, despite differences within the administration, Iran was always something they could all agree on. H.R. McMaster and James Mattis are well known Iran hawks, and neither are Jewish. Nikki Haley isn't Jewish, nor is Rex Tillerson. Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn wouldn't have stopped Trump from going to war if they hadn't been forced out of the administration, as both, especially the latter, were absolute lunatics when it came to Iran. On that subject, they were worse than neocons. And of course there's Trump himself, whose bloodlust regarding Iran has always been on full display from the beginning, if you were paying attention. Hostility toward Iran might in fact be the most consistent theme of the Trump administration and of Trump himself, who has been known to vacillate on virtually every issue, except this one.

    If you supported Trump because you thought he might be some sort of isolationist dove, you have only yourself to blame. Evil Jewish neocons didn't force you to ignore the massive evidence that was always right in front of your face.

    Totally agree in your vission of Trump administration and the way hard core conservatives who rised him to power through their media outlets want to thrown the ball to other place with respect to his guilt on all what he has done so far.

    Of course, many the Jews have huge influence in the US stablishment, but this not discharge the many Americans, military, academic or civilians who join them in destabilizing the Middle East and the whole world for their profit.

    The people who get to high places in America are vetted along the way by the Jew establishment.

    If you are in any way questionable about Jews - you are culled out before you reach the top.

    Today there are no US generals who question working for Israel - PERIOD.

    Statement of support for Professor Rabab Abdulhadi, and students at SFSU under attack by anti-Arab, anti-Muslim group

    http://mondoweiss.net/2017/09/statement-professor-abdulhadi/

    [MORE]

    As members of Jewish communities across the United States and around the world, we stand in solidarity with Professor Rabab Ibrahim Abdulhadi, General Union of Palestinian Students and other students and advocates for justice in Palestine at San Francisco State University (SFSU) currently under attack by the Lawfare Project.
    Identifying itself as “the legal arm of the pro-Israel community,” this small but well-funded group filed a suit against SFSU on June 19, 2017. Conflating criticism of Israel and its denial of Palestinian rights with anti-Semitism, the Lawfare Project charges SFSU with violating the rights of Jewish students. The intent is familiar: to silence and punish those advocating for Palestinian rights while downplaying the seriousness of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab racism. Indeed, Lawfare Project Director Brooke Goldstein has dismissed Islamophobia as a “made-up term propagated by the Muslim Brotherhood” and denied the existence of Palestinians, remarking that “there’s no such thing as a Palestinian person.”
    The lawsuit references a 2016 protest by SFSU students of Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, who has a history of racism and ethnic cleansing, demolishing Palestinian homes and implementing a plan for massive displacement to forcibly reduce the size of Palestinian population of Jerusalem. After students protested his talk, an organized group of Zionists falsely charged student protesters with being antisemitic and physically threatening toward Jewish students. SFSU conducted an independent investigation and determined these allegations to be unfounded. The lawsuit names the Board of Trustees of the California State University System, SFSU President Leslie Wong, and several other University officials and employees, including Professor Abdulhadi, senior scholar and director of the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas (AMED) Studies program at SFSU. As Jewish people, we object to this attack on Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim groups, an action produced through the cynical misuse of the notion of antisemitism and the pretense of protecting Jewish students from threats that do not exist.
    In recent years, Dr. Abdulhadi has faced relentless defamation, intimidation, and assaults because of her advocacy for justice in Palestine as part of what she aptly calls “the indivisibility of justice,” including support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. BDS is a strategy to oppose the occupation of Palestine by Israel–it is a global campaign modeled after the successful anti-Apartheid movement for justice in South Africa and is in no way antisemitic. The Lawfare Project has mischaracterized Dr. Abdulhadi’s denunciation of Israeli colonialism and apartheid policies. Like many other Zionist organizations, it purports to speak on behalf of “the legal rights of the Jewish people around the globe,” despite the fact that growing numbers of Jews object to Israeli state violence and work to hold Israel accountable for the ongoing mistreatment of Palestinians.
    We take antisemitism seriously, and so does Professor Abdulhadi. There is nothing inherently antisemitic in promoting Palestinian rights and freedoms, or in opposing the racist violence of the Israeli state–for many, our Jewishness prompts us to take such action in pursuit of justice. Further, Lawfare Project’s tactic of conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism is itself fundamentally antisemitic, because it identifies Jewishness with a litany of racist policies and human rights violations, and marginalizes the ever-increasing numbers of Jews who actively oppose these crimes. Far from doing anything to challenge or eliminate actual antisemitism, the lawsuit bolsters the propagandistic claims of the Israeli government at the expense of academic freedom and the constitutionally protected rights of students and faculty.

    We, the undersigned, call upon SFSU President Dr. Les Wong and CSU Chancellor Dr. Tim White to:
    1) Refuse to settle this lawsuit or concede any of its slanderous allegations, and conduct a vigorous and principled legal defense against this complaint;
    2) Publicly and unambiguously defend the academic freedom and the intellectual reputation of our colleague Prof. Abdulhadi, by making a public statement that clears her name of the vicious and unfounded smear attacks against her, and by doing so to protect the intellectual integrity of SFSU;
    3) Publicly, clearly and unambiguously express your moral and financial support for the AMED Studies program and the College of Ethnic Studies at SFSU, and defend their fundamental role in the SFSU educational mission.
    As Jewish people related to multiple histories of oppression, we demand justice for all people. We know Professor Abdulhadi as an ally over decades of struggle. Many of us have learned from and worked alongside her. We strongly urge SFSU and the CSU to defend her against these attacks.
    To sign the statement please visit here. 

    By the way, Lawfare is also behind the blacklisting of university students who protest against Israeli occupation trying to prevent them from gaining employment after they graduate by smearing them as antisemites.

    Oh they did take place for sure.
    So, should we replace “the Jew warmonger” with “the Anglo warmonger” that would be O.K?
    I mean…it was O.K. before, apparently.
    Following the same logic, if we, somehow, replace “the Jew warmonger” with “the Anglo warmonger”….what EXACTLY people of the world get?
    Not Americans, they know what they get (as before….”make American great again“, but the rest of the world?

    Let’s keep focus here.

    At the moment we, in colonies, do our vassal duties to the current Empire. It is directed, for the sake of conversation, by American Jews.

    So…pray tell….what would be a difference for, say, Aussies, if the wars were directed by American Anglos?

    Aussies went to wars because UK Anglos told them so.
    Then Aussies went to wars because US Anglos told them so.
    Then Aussies have been going to wars because US Jews tell them so.

    What exactly is the difference here, please?

    Well if said above warhawks are Jewish, it’s just stating facts. Iraq was a phony war, started by weapons of mass destruction. What a freaking joke. Saddam dumped the dollar as currency in favor of EU currency. Boom he had to go. Hello ISIS a Bush creation. Afghanistan 9-11 ok. Libya Gadafy was looking to make the dineh the currency of United Africa. Boom he had to go. Iran is next, if not N Korea. There was this video where an American General Wesley Clark names all the countries we’re gonna invade right after 9-11. There were like 7, Yemen, Syria and maybe Lebanon besides Iran, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. The memo came from Bush cronies. I worry about a new false flag bombing, scapegoating Iran or N Korea. That’s all it takes to start a war.

  1160. Jewish doctrine, not race or D.N.A., causes Jews to steal. Jewish children are “encouraged”/indoctrinated to take away by force the toys of non-Jewish children. Of course, when they grow up they have the Torah and Talmud in addition to their parents and Rabbis, to justify taking away by force the wealth, the land, and even the lives of non-Jews (according to some Jewish interpretations of the Commandment to not steal, it refers to wrongfully taking the life of a Jew). Jewish children must learn that taking away by force the toys of non-Jews is a NO-NO. Right now because of their doctrine Jews are too stupid to understand that when they take away by force that which is precious to non-Jews, some non-Jews will retaliate. For more than 3,500 years Jews have been unable to figure out human nature. Because they justify taking away by force even the lives of non-Jews, they know only one thing which is drummed into their dumbed down heads starting in the Book of Genesis: Fear equals love. Over and over again Jews’ heads are f_cked with by examples of having to love G_d because Jews and non-Jews have to fear G_d. For more than 3,500 years Jews have applied their psychopathology to non-Jews and for more than 3,500 years they have been expelled from non-Jews’ land and society, segregated into ghettos, and had anti-Semitic laws passed against them. Maybe, Non-Jews are just too stupid to learn to love Jews out of fear of Jews. That’s not impossible; after all, all of are Human. Some very evil non-Jews recently murdered and tortured nearly 6,000,000 Jews during the Holocaust or the U.S. military (some very evil non-Jews) covered up their murder of 6,000,000 of non-Jews in Germany after the Allied victory in World War Two by inventing the Holocaust. Nevertheles, Jews, except Reform Jews and Neturai Kartai, and a few others, continue to be totally clueless about human nature. Keeping It Simple Stupid (K.I.S.S.): “Stop stealing from non-Jews” – Starting wars to cover up Jews’ thefts does not work.

    Philip Giraldi disseminates some truth, calls a spade-a-spade, and he’s issued a pink slip.

    This speaks volumes.

    Truth has always drawn fire. Recently it’s been under heavy fire, sustaining severe wounds.

    But fortunately according to Buddha, “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”

    So we can expect truth to eventually make a full recovery.

    Of course, this recovery can be facilitated by individuals willing to support the truth.

    That's false, in any discerning context.

    "White" implies a lack of detectable sub-saharan African and Arab genes if we are speaking about any tribe from Europe, the ME, or Africa. Racial Jews have both.

    The statement that "Jews are White" is not only false insofar as they are concerned, but is also an implication that other Whites can have African genes but remain as White as Whites without them.

    Jews are obsessed with outrunning their race-mixing shame, or in other words with outrunning the African gene, which is a large motivator behind their equality politics. They are essentially a race mixed tribe who couldn't deal with:

    1. what they did in a race mixing context
    2. what they did as justification for further race mixing or extinction
    3. the spiritual (as per God's biblical edicts) implications of their race mixing
    4. and the practical (HBD) ramifications of their race mixing.

    So, in essence, we have a tribe who has long resigned themselves to creating a world wherein there is no better tribe than their race mixed tribe, where their race mixed tribe is somehow looked upon as god's tribe, and in which they survive as an inbred race mixed tribe.

    They can never outrun their gene, and will always be sore about that fact. Everytime that you see a "Jew Fro", be reminded of their gene, what they claim about themselves, and their motivations.

    That god's tribe is a race-mixed tribe is a ridiculous notion. God, as a concept, is both nature and a racial King (both concepts can be readily proven in historical religious studies - the "unknowable" god that Jews currently present to outsiders is a parallel to the mesopotamian AN, and other non-anthropomorphic sky god's that always come into existence when a tribe wants to rule multiple other tribes and therefore needs to depart from the racial King concept).

    Most race mixed tribe's would come to the conclusion that either continued race mixing or fading into the good night would be reasonable outcomes for them. However, with this tribe we have a refusal to concede to their past sin and thus a demand for all other pure tribes to be destroyed so that they may thrive and rule.

    Ashkenazi Jews are mostly of European descent. They may have a drop of Arab or African blood, but so do Southern Europeans, and Northern/Eastern Europeans have some Asian blood.

    Also curly hair is not evidence of being black. Europeans can have “fros” too — like Steven Moffat, a Scottish guy.

    Everyone, this is all about the Jewish banking system. The only two countries' banking systems that the Jews do not control are North Korea and Iran. Before 9/11 there were 5 or 6 countries that were not controlled by Jews. That changed quickly didn't it? Once they have the last two banks, globalism will have won. Nationalism won't mean anything. President Wilson lost America for us when he gave our money to the Federal Reserve, which is a private bank, to keep his extra-marital affair out of the Jewish press.

    And FYI who ever thinks Jews are white is wrong; they are genetically and biological different from caucasians. They have lower IQs and have more genetic diseases.

    Uh…Ashkenazi Jews are definitely Caucasians and they have the highest IQs in the world. WTF are you talking about?

And as others have noted the architects of the wars in the middle east have names like Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Are they supported by Jewish neocons? Yes, but its still their war. You’re gross.

    @geokat62
    Did y'all get a chance to read the article our ardent hasbarist linked to in his response to Talha (see comment #1128)? It was written by Israel's lawyer, Dennis Ross.

    I suspect he directed it to Talha because of this sentence:


    It is the same today with those who single out all Muslims as dangerous extremists. It is just as unacceptable.
     
    Totally unacceptable. Dropping bombs on them is just fine, but don't you dare try singling them out as extremists.

    While it's worth reading the entire article, I've reproduced the more pertinent sections with my commentary provided in [square brackets]:


    Of course, most Jews are not neoconservatives, and most neoconservatives are not Jewish [his first of many blatent lies]...

    When James Baker became secretary of state in 1989, he continued to help remove suspicions about Jews from the national security establishment. And yet, I remember well the time in 1990, when I was the head of the State Department’s policy planning staff, I was visited by a diplomatic security investigator who was doing a background check on someone who had listed me as a reference. This person was being considered for a senior position in the George H. W. Bush administration, not one directly involved with the Middle East.

    At one point, the investigator asked me a question that is routine in these background checks: Was this person loyal to the United States? I answered yes, without a doubt. But his follow-up question was if this person had to choose between America’s interests and Israel’s, whose interests would he put first? There was nothing subtle about this presumption of dual loyalty.

    “Why would you ask that question?” I asked, even though I realized I might not be helping the person using me as a reference. He answered, “Because he is Jewish.” So I went on: If he was Irish and had to work on problems related to Ireland or if he was Italian and had to work on Italy, would you ask that question? [why the hell not?] Initially, the investigator did not seem to know how to respond, [of course he didn't, he was completely stumped by such a challenging question] but then I saw a look of recognition. He suddenly realized that I was Jewish. And, at that point, he changed the subject.

    This investigator was not a rookie. And his experience with senior State Department officials led him to believe it was natural to ask this question. Like most mythologies which take on a life of their own, the idea that Jewish-Americans might have dual loyalties was not challenged or questioned, it was assumed. [it's a myth I tell you! although most would readily admit they have a passionate attachment to the Jewish state, why would anyone suspect they might harbour dual loyalties?] That made it all the more insidious.

    Just like Ms. Wilson tweeting that Jews are pushing for a new war. It is the definition of prejudice. [I'm sure had Giraldi opted to go with the title"America's Jewish neocons are driving America's wars, it would have obviated the need for Dennis Ross to write this article] How can it not be when you label a whole group and ascribe to all those who are a part of it a particular negative trait or threatening behavior? It is the same today with those who single out all Muslims as dangerous extremists. It is just as unacceptable.

    Today, surging nationalism and xenophobia promise to create even more prejudice. These attitudes foster an “us versus them” mentality. The “other” is a threat. [isn't this the fundamental premise on which Zionist ideology is based?] And once you have singled out groups, the leap is small to imposing limits on them, quarantining them and rationalizing violence against them.

    Rather than be worried about being mistrusted and accused of dual loyalties, Jewish American should feel proud.[nb, this need not apply to Italian American, Anglo American, Franco American, etc. btw, isn't the term Jewish American a bit of an oddity? Isn't the more common expression "American Jew"? - i.e., "American" the adjective modifying "Jew" the noun?) In uncertain times, identity can provide a source of security and comfort. [again, not for European or European-derived people] And having a strong identity, being comfortable with who you are and whom you are connected to, need not come at the expense of others. [oh really! tell that to the European and European-derived countries who've had the demographics of their populations completely transformed to ensure some people retain their strong identity] As my rabbi, Jonathan Maltzman, pointed out in his Rosh Hashana sermon, the particular and the universal have always been embedded in Jewish identity. [no mention of an American identity]

    Indeed, to live a Jewish life one must be committed to the Jewish community, but also to others.[why do I get the sense that the "but also to others" may have been an after thought?] Jews have an obligation to promote justice, mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace. [and the proof is in the pudding, One need only look at the fruits of their labour in MENA to grasp the veracity of this statement]

    In the United States, diversity of peoples and opinions is our strength as a democracy. [he should have given credit to Abe Foman and the ADL for use of their tagline] Listening to one another, as opposed to labeling one another, can restore civil debate. It is certainly the only way to produce better policies. [here we were in desparate search for better policies when Dennis Ross had the answer all along. Forget about the 11 demands I've put forward to drain the swamp, we just need to listen to one another] And it might even introduce greater care and civility to Twitter. [who was that said lawyers don't have a sense of humour?]
     

    Here’s the response Philip Weiss just posted on MW to the article written by Dennis Ross in the NYT, ‘NYT’ leaves out Dennis Ross’s charge to US Jews: ‘We need to be advocates for Israel’

    Once again The New York Times defers to supporters of Israel. It gives the pro-Israel peace processor Dennis Ross a platform on the op-ed page to talk about anti-Semitism in the State Department back in the 80s and 90s.

    “Memories of an Anti-Semitic State Department” is a clever dodge on Ross’s part. It is supposedly a response to the controversy over Phil Giraldi’s piece at Unz Review on American Jews running the “war engine” in U.S. foreign policy — a piece that former CIA agent/hero Valerie Plame retweeted and was shamed for doing so, and over which Giraldi lost his job at the American Conservative.

    Ross argues that Jews shouldn’t be questioned about dual loyalty:

    Rather than be worried about being mistrusted and accused of dual loyalties, Jewish American should feel proud. In uncertain times, identity can provide a source of security and comfort….

    Indeed, to live a Jewish life one must be committed to the Jewish community, but also to others. Jews have an obligation to promote justice, mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace.

    This is a dodge because Dennis Ross never mentions Zionism, just Jews. But Ross is a committed Zionist who told a synagogue audience last spring–supposedly off the record– about their Zionist marching orders:

    Jews should not advocate for Palestinians because we don’t live in Israel, and we won’t suffer the consequences of our criticism.

    Because we don’t live there, we don’t bear the consequences of the decision… Plenty of others are advocates for the Palestinians. We don’t need to be advocates for Palestinians. We need to be advocates for Israel.

    So much for justice and compassion.

    I disapprove of Giraldi’s broadbrush prejudicial attack, but the Times is still evading the criticism that Walt and Mearsheimer issued 11 years ago, thanks to the internet, and that continues to haunt the organized Jewish community: To what extent was the Iraq war pushed by neoconservative Jews who were concerned about Israel’s security. Joe Klein raised the Jewish neoconservative issue years ago and was pilloried for doing so:

    The fact that a great many Jewish neoconservatives–people like Joe Lieberman and the crowd over at Commentary–plumped for this war, and now for an even more foolish assault on Iran, raised the question of divided loyalties: using U.S. military power, U.S. lives and money, to make the world safe for Israel.

    And yes: American Jews were overwhelmingly against that war. But: a, the community deferred to the neocons as it traditionally has done, because they are the self-appointed guardians of Israel’s security; so even the Reform Jews signed off on the Iraq war (and my brother informed me that his Jewish newspaper said this war could be “good for Israel”); b, Thanks to Sheldon Adelson and others, neoconservative Jews who were opposed to the peace process got policy-making positions in the Bush administration, including Douglas Feith at the infamous Office of Special Plans at the Pentagon, which distilled a lot of the lies needed to justify the invasion of Iraq. Colin Powell later blamed the war on the “JINSA crowd” — the neoconservative Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. Philip Zelikow, a Bush aide who chaired the 9/11 Commission, said in 2002 that the war was being planned because of “the threat that dare not speak its name”– Iraq’s “threat to Israel.”

    Ross is chair of a Zionist organization, the Jewish People Policy Institute, and was part of the White House negotiating team that Aaron David Miller admitted later, “acted as Israel’s lawyer.” Ross needs to be challenged: How many open non-Zionists or anti-Zionists have ever had high ranking positions involved with policy on the Palestinians?

    On a related note, Democratic senators lately questioned a Catholic nominee to the federal court about her religious beliefs as they bear on abortion law:

    “The dogma lives loudly within you,” [Senator Dianne] Feinstein said. “And that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for for years in this country.”

    Two law professors writing in the Times justified the line of inquiry as an effort to “explore” a complex legal and moral question. By the same standard, Zionists who are appointed to Mideast policy positions ought to be questioned about the depth of their commitment to a Jewish state. As Irving Kristol, a neocon patriarch, laid out the understanding many years ago,

    [I]t is now an interest of the Jews to have a large and powerful military establishment in the United States… American Jews who care about the survival of the state of Israel have to say, no, we don’t want to cut the military budget, it is important to keep that military budget big, so that we can defend Israel.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/26/opinion/contributors/valerie-plame-antisemitic-state-department.html

    … Valerie Plame Wilson made news with her Twitter account last week when, on the first day of Rosh Hashana, she shared an article …

    What does this mean? Are there prohibitions against communication on Rosh Hashana? Is this some sort of dog whistle to Jews that Plame is suspect in her Jewishness?

    The article, which appeared on a fringe website … repeated the well-worn narrative that Jewish neoconservatives promoted the invasion of Iraq — and are beating the drum for a conflict with Iran.

    How can it be well-worn if it only appears on fringe sites?

    I have little interest in piling on Ms. Wilson.

    Then why do it?

    However, if you knew about the Middle East because you came from a missionary family or from the oil industry, you were an expert.

    Maybe the difference is because missionaries don’t have a sovereign state in the ME. Maybe because the oil industry does not have sovereign states

    When James Baker became secretary of state in 1989, he continued to help remove suspicions about Jews from the national security establishment.

    And how did he do that? White papers? Free and open discussions in all the national media of importance?

    So I went on: If he was Irish and had to work on problems related to Ireland or if he was Italian and had to work on Italy, would you ask that question?

    Do you want us to understand that Irish-Americans vis-à-vis Ireland are equivalent to Jewish Americans vis-à-vis Israel? Do you want us to understand that Israel is “just like Ireland”?

    These attitudes foster an “us versus them” mentality.

    So here is my contribution to this us vs. them:

    Indeed, to live a Jewish life one must be committed to the Jewish community, [not like traitors like Plame] but also to others. Jews have an obligation to promote justice, mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace.

    Because as we all know, non-Jews can’t be committed to their community and to others, much less do they have any humanitarian obligations arising from the milieu of their community.

    In the United States, diversity of peoples and opinions is our strength as a democracy.

    In fact, this is actually a weakness. It would be much better to discuss the problem without engaging in mis-direction.

    Listening to one another, as opposed to labeling one another, can restore civil debate.

    So, you and others who are like-minded are going to be after TAC like chickens after a Junebug?

    The main reason behind linking Ross' article as a response to Talha's post was to further examine what seems to me, a particularly vile idea, reminiscent of wearing the Star of David armband required of Jews back in the glory days of Germany, and thus a practice to be rationally rejected by all Americans.

    I do not agree with Ross' many views on a range of subjects, most importantly his [perhaps not overt, but unthinking] support of militant black hats in Israel. On Tikkun Olam, which requires every Jew to help heal the world, I am fully invested. To be clear, and this I mentioned to Jacques earlier, I believe any approach to the ME problem must be based on none else but uncompromised reality. It is for that reason I am deeply against BDS [which now gains support from #BLM]; for it will, on the ground, harm those it proposes to help, not to mention the corrupted roster of its actors, here, as on the Pal side.

    On Rosh Hashana, I am not aware of any prohibition on tweeting. And Plame is hardly an observant Jew if a Jew at all. I reckon she is one when she finds it effective. I suppose Ross was merely observing that her tweet could've been better timed, though I find myself shrugging my shoulders.

    [How can it be well-worn if it only appears on fringe sites? ]

    The subject of Neocon Jews fomenting ME wars has been discussed ad nauseum, including in books, like the one by Herrshiemer & Waltz, prior to by this piece on UR.

    Of course, he is piling on Plame. Frankly, I'd have given it a wide berth, especially in a major newspaper, but I guess Dennis wanted to say something, and now, Brett follows.

    [And how did he do that? White papers? Free and open discussions in all the national media of importance?]

    My impression was that Baker did not cast a particularly avuncular gaze upon Israel or toward Jews in general. It might've come as a directive of the POTUS.

    [Do you want us to understand that Irish-Americans vis-à-vis Ireland are equivalent to Jewish Americans vis-à-vis Israel? Do you want us to understand that Israel is “just like Ireland”?]

    No, I don't. Ross does apparently. I'll say what I've said before: the Jewish nation is only sixty of age, and therefore retains amongst Jews still that connection to the "mother country" as would've been the case amongst the Irish, or Italians, etc, 50-60 years after emigrating. Nevertheless, it is true that all ethnicities retain some connection with the old country for hundreds of years.

    [Maybe the difference is because missionaries don’t have a sovereign state in the ME. ]

    Everyone goes with a purpose. Missionaries to proselytise, Oilmen for oil and Jews like Ross to shape US policy in the direction they thought right.

    [Because as we all know, non-Jews can’t be committed to their community and to others, much less do they have any humanitarian obligations arising from the milieu of their community.]

    LOL. I'm quite sure he doesn't mean that. I think he presumes not to lecture anyone but his co-religionists.

    It is a bit of a misdirection.

I believe it vital that Diversity not get in the way of essential American culture. I am speaking of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and mom's apple pie.

    Wow, what sad trash.

    How come when a person who happens to be Jewish advocates for something, it’s always his/her “Jewishness” motivating the decision? The sinister, money-hungry Jew!

    Yet, nobody ever generalizes the same way when a non-Jew is “for” something others have a problem with.

    In fact, despite a few Jews named in the above-article about the push to the Iraq war, far more influential people, such as Cheney, Rice, and, of course, Bush himself “the decider” were for it as well. Yet, it was a Jewish conspiracy! Why not a Protestant conspiracy?

    Why wrap ALL Jews into one monolithic group? That’s, by definition, stereotyping. That, my friend, is anti-semitism.

    In fact, Jews overwhelmingly support Dems, and, despite what this ignorant clown in the forest says, are decidedly less militaristic than members of the GOP – you know, the party of white protestants.

    Yes, I think that there are polls that show that Evangelical Christians expressed support for the Iraq War at a higher % than Jewish Americans.

    Not really the point here, though.

    If we accept the premise that neo-con warmongers are rabid for wars (is this redundant?), the question is: do Jewish neo-cons support wars in the ME more frequently than they do in other parts of the world. IOW, are Jewish neo-cons more likely to be warmongers in the ME because they are Jews? If Jewish neo-cons support war with the same consistency as to time and place as non-Jewish neo-cons then it's okay.

    Wait, what if Jewish neo-cons only support war everywhere and all the time just to cover up their support for wars in the ME? Damn, this is harder than I thought.

    From Corvanus (AKA Corvinus):

    “So it is safe to say that much of the agitation to do something about Iran comes from Israel and from American Jews.”

    Certainly SOME Israelis and American Jews are involved in developing policy designed to generate hostility to the point of potential war.

    But Dick Cheney and Erik Prince, among other prominent non-Jews, bear mentioning.

    Regardless, the Jew fixation here is duly noted. Boo! Goes the Joo!

    Certainly SOME Unzers are involved in a Jews fixation.

    But most aren’t, and they bear mentioning.

    Regardless, the Zionist zealotry in the USA is duly noted. Boo! Down with antisemites.

  1176. I have enjoyed and appreciated the keen insights and deep patriotism made evident in the years of service Philip Giraldi has given both the country and The American Conservative. He said in this article that there was always a price to be paid in criticizing the current leadership in Israel and their fawning neocon sycophants in the U.S. When it comes to the truth about the overweening and overbearing power the Likud Party wields in our country whose values and commitments are sometimes at odds, it gives new meaning to Pogo’s observation, “We have met the enemy and the enemy is us.” If the neocons are so hell bent in goading us into more disastrous wars, let them pick up arms and take their children with them into battle. We are weary of their machinations and Mr. Giraldi is a true American patriot to point it out in the face of the constant threat of retribution from the United Likud Zionist persecutors of American loyalists.

    I didn’t say there weren’t any Jews pushing for a war with Iran, I said there are plenty of non-Jews pushing for one too, including Trump himself. Hostility toward Iran (and imperialism generally) is deeply rooted in the American foreign policy establishment (which isn’t close to being all or mostly Jewish), and can’t be explained by naive WASPs being manipulated by clever Jews. It’s not just bigoted, it’s a cartoonishly stupid “explanation”.

    Jews are really instrumental to the War Party. Jews run Big Media, and they could turn antiwar any time they like. You’d think they would, given their “leftist” loyalties, but they’re pro-war instead. Similarly, the academy is heavily Jewish, and they could do a lot to turn the country antiwar, but they don’t. You’d think they would, given their “leftist” loyalties…

    Yes, the War Party is an unholy alliance between the military industrial complex, and Zionists. But it’s Zionists who provide the Big Media air supremacy that makes the War Party possible. Obviously the military industrial complex favors war. It’s the only way to keep demand high, and stock moving off shelves. But everyone knows this. Everyone is free to say this. But mention the Zionist half of this unholy alliance, and you’re immediately in trouble.

    Sounds like a where there’s smoke, there’s fire sort of situation to me. I like goring sacred cows and breaking taboos. There are no sacred cows to be gored, or taboos to be broken, discussing the military industrial complex. It’s a perfect fit for timid souls who don’t like goring sacred cows or breaking taboos. Zionists are where the action’s at for people like me.

    I think Jews’ fascination with Communism is owed to its nature as the world’s foremost “antiracist” revolutionary ideology. It’s tailor-made for Jews to use to decapitate a native elite and take its place.

    What got the Jews kicked out of Israel two thousand years ago was their rejection of Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah. He then pronounced a judgment upon them; their Temple would be destroyed and they would be dispersed amongst the nations.

    No, he was right on that score. It was Jews’ zealotry (and Zealotry, lol) that got them run out of the Levant. Jews’ ego tends to outdistance their capabilities. The Romans eventually tired of the Jews’ disrespect and crushed them. Not that I begrudge Jews their resistance to foreign rule, mind you. But reality is what it is, and Jews tend to favor their picture of reality way too much.

    Only the Ashkenazis could be considered Caucasian. But that is ending because they have high intermarriage rates with blacks/Asians.

    Wrong, and wrong. With a few exceptions like black and Chinese Jews noted, Jews (Ashkenazim, Sephardim, etc.) are overwhelmingly Caucasian, or Caucasoid, if you like. As are Arabs, North Africans, etc.

    And the idea that Jews, or Ashkenazim, or Sephardim, etc., are marrying blacks at a high rate is absurd. And more to the point, you have absolutely no evidence to support the claim. There is more anecdotal evidence for Jews marrying yellows, so it’s a bit less absurd, but again, you have no evidence.

    I know because I’ve looked for data on Jewish interracial marriage. There isn’t any. Given 1 Jews’ strong tendency to pay close attention to this kind of data (it abounds for intermarriage (Jews marrying white people)) and 2 the gobsmacking amount of advocacy Jews give to interracial marriage (for the goyim, I suppose) and miscegenation, it’s not exactly hard to suss out that the stats aren’t available because Jews find them embarrassing, and know people like me would wave them like a bloody shirt from now until Doomsday.

    You argue that all Jews must recuse themselves from foreign policy positions that relate to Israel. Your logic fails. First, Jews are not a monolith of people who all hold the same views on anything, including Israel and foreign policy. Second, you suggest any judge would do the same. Are you saying no male judge can hear a case in which one party is a woman (or even represented by a woman) because of a conflict of interest? Do you take the same view as Donald Trump, that a Hispanic judge obviously can’t be unbiased in a case in which Trump is a party? This specious logic throws into doubt the rest of your article.

    I’d go with Jewish Intellectual Influences.

    Indeed, there are many White goyim running around furthering Jewish interests, their heads full of Jewish ideas.

    It supports a “better to be safe than sorry” attitude for Jews conscious of how well assimilated German Jews were.

    Evaluations of how well assimilated any given Jewish population is or was are usually sourced from Jews, or their water carriers. Dissent is usually ruled out as “antisemitism.” Jews were revolutionaries in Russia (and look how well that turned out for the Ukrainians), and they were revolutionaries in Weimar Germany. I would be utterly unsurprised to discover that Jews were subversives in Germany, too, as they have been in so many places when afforded the opportunity.

    Ultimately the reason is that Jews are Holy objects to Christians. Christians worship Yeshua (a Jew) and his putative father-god YHWH. It really is that simple.

    Ergo, the Spanish Inquisition, that pagan orgy of persecution.

    As a tribe, once can read Kevin MacDonald’s work to see how they work in remarkable ethnic cohesion–not necessarily as an “organized conspiracy” (though that certainly happens), but as an ethnic drive.

    There’s no need for a Jewish conspiracy, when you have Jewish culture, which basically amounts to a Jewish conspiracy so deeply engrained, it isn’t even conscious. Not that it’s all down to culture; Jewish ethnocentrism is the soil in which that culture grows.

    ***

    Some guy shouted above that it’s the Zionists, not the Jews. Yes, there are non-Zionist Jews, and there are Zionist non-Jews. But Zionism is absolutely a Jewish ideology, and it is absolutely one of the 2 or 3 reigning ideologies of the Jews. Jewry is absolutely Zionist. Everything else, especially anti-Zionist ideologies, are either distant seconds, or fringe ideologies. As for non-Jewish Zionists, they only exist because of the profit in serving Zionist Jews. No more Zionist Jews, no more Zionist non-Jews; the reverse isn’t remotely true.

    They say they aren’t white when that’s convenient and they spend most of their time making sure that whites can’t survive, so how can they be white?

    I consider it a very nuanced question, that takes paragraphs to answer. TL;DR/skip to the end version is that no, they aren’t European, but no, this doesn’t really add up to much for me.

    One thing I find important to say, though, is that if you can say you aren’t a thing when it’s bad to be that thing, then you aren’t really that thing; not in a practical sense. Blacks may be able to insist that Jews are white, but whites aren’t. Real whites don’t get an escape hatch from leftist “anti-racist” whites, but Jews, AFAICT, do.

    But like I said, it’s a nuanced question, starting with the fact that “white” has quite a few definitions.

    This is all quite apart from the self-determination question (people get a right to define themselves), and the White Nationalism issue. In that context, the answer still depends on which WN you’re asking, but the answer currently is, overwhelmingly, “no.” Which I think is fair: Jews have PUH-LEEENTY of self-advocacy. They don’t deserve a share of WNs’ pitiful table scraps.

    The fact that there are so many who profess to the Christian faith, who are as evil as those Joo neocons, such as those you mentioned, simply cannot be denied. Even if hypothetically speaking the Joos were to vanish overnight, the wars of aggression by the Evil Empire will continue unabated.

    You may be right. Only one way to find out; remove Jews from power and see if we get good results. Why not remove White Christians, you ask? Because I like them a lot better than I like Jews, that’s why. Israel awaits Jews who object. You lot have an escape hatch; we don’t.

    … Valerie Plame Wilson made news with her Twitter account last week when, on the first day of Rosh Hashana, she shared an article …

    What does this mean? Are there prohibitions against communication on Rosh Hashana? Is this some sort of dog whistle to Jews that Plame is suspect in her Jewishness?

    The article, which appeared on a fringe website … repeated the well-worn narrative that Jewish neoconservatives promoted the invasion of Iraq — and are beating the drum for a conflict with Iran.

    How can it be well-worn if it only appears on fringe sites?

    I have little interest in piling on Ms. Wilson.

    Then why do it?

    However, if you knew about the Middle East because you came from a missionary family or from the oil industry, you were an expert.

    Maybe the difference is because missionaries don’t have a sovereign state in the ME. Maybe because the oil industry does not have sovereign states

    When James Baker became secretary of state in 1989, he continued to help remove suspicions about Jews from the national security establishment.

    And how did he do that? White papers? Free and open discussions in all the national media of importance?

    So I went on: If he was Irish and had to work on problems related to Ireland or if he was Italian and had to work on Italy, would you ask that question?

    Do you want us to understand that Irish-Americans vis-à-vis Ireland are equivalent to Jewish Americans vis-à-vis Israel? Do you want us to understand that Israel is “just like Ireland”?

    These attitudes foster an “us versus them” mentality.

    So here is my contribution to this us vs. them:

    Indeed, to live a Jewish life one must be committed to the Jewish community, [not like traitors like Plame] but also to others. Jews have an obligation to promote justice, mercy, compassion, tolerance and peace.

    Because as we all know, non-Jews can’t be committed to their community and to others, much less do they have any humanitarian obligations arising from the milieu of their community.

    In the United States, diversity of peoples and opinions is our strength as a democracy.

    In fact, this is actually a weakness. It would be much better to discuss the problem without engaging in mis-direction.

    Listening to one another, as opposed to labeling one another, can restore civil debate.

    So, you and others who are like-minded are going to be after TAC like chickens after a Junebug?

    The main reason behind linking Ross’ article as a response to Talha’s post was to further examine what seems to me, a particularly vile idea, reminiscent of wearing the Star of David armband required of Jews back in the glory days of Germany, and thus a practice to be rationally rejected by all Americans.

    Yes. Even if I was inclined to support BDS the inkiness of the bed-fellows would be a definite stumbling block for me. I do accept boycotts as legitimate political action.

    I reckon this is the raisin date of identity.

    If tweeting on Rosh Hashana is not taboo there is nothing to time. The only purpose that I can see is that it is some sort of signal that I don’t understand, but I do understand that it is a signal.

    This is not even close to being wrong. It has not been frequently discussed, hardly discussed at all, in the MSM. If we could do some sort of search of the times that it is mentioned in polite society, the times that it is mentioned as some sort of bad-think would likely outnumber the serious discussion times.

    This is a tough one. I am barely knowledgeable on the subject, but it seems to me that the intertwining of the Jewish identity with the State of Israel is not the same as Italians vis-à-vis Italy and I’m not sure that it ever will be.

    What wars did America engage in for the Irish, Italians, and Greeks?

    What are the AIPAC’S associated with the Irish, Italians, and Greeks?

    I see that hasbara has descended on this tread – with thousands of words – all with a twist - a spin – a half-truth – a big lie – and all with intended malicious mendacity aimed at quelling free speech.

    I know this is wasted on you Jews but ----

    I think Jews' fascination with Communism is owed to its nature as the world's foremost "antiracist" revolutionary ideology. It's tailor-made for Jews to use to decapitate a native elite and take its place.

    What got the Jews kicked out of Israel two thousand years ago was their rejection of Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah. He then pronounced a judgment upon them; their Temple would be destroyed and they would be dispersed amongst the nations.
     
    No, he was right on that score. It was Jews' zealotry (and Zealotry, lol) that got them run out of the Levant. Jews' ego tends to outdistance their capabilities. The Romans eventually tired of the Jews' disrespect and crushed them. Not that I begrudge Jews their resistance to foreign rule, mind you. But reality is what it is, and Jews tend to favor their picture of reality way too much.

    Only the Ashkenazis could be considered Caucasian. But that is ending because they have high intermarriage rates with blacks/Asians.
     
    Wrong, and wrong. With a few exceptions like black and Chinese Jews noted, Jews (Ashkenazim, Sephardim, etc.) are overwhelmingly Caucasian, or Caucasoid, if you like. As are Arabs, North Africans, etc.

    And the idea that Jews, or Ashkenazim, or Sephardim, etc., are marrying blacks at a high rate is absurd. And more to the point, you have absolutely no evidence to support the claim. There is more anecdotal evidence for Jews marrying yellows, so it's a bit less absurd, but again, you have no evidence.

    I know because I've looked for data on Jewish interracial marriage. There isn't any. Given 1 Jews' strong tendency to pay close attention to this kind of data (it abounds for intermarriage (Jews marrying white people)) and 2 the gobsmacking amount of advocacy Jews give to interracial marriage (for the goyim, I suppose) and miscegenation, it's not exactly hard to suss out that the stats aren't available because Jews find them embarrassing, and know people like me would wave them like a bloody shirt from now until Doomsday.

    But the rate of intermarriage with Asians is high. It is promoted and have good press and coverage. One may wonder whether it is not a part a long term strategy to infiltrate Chinese elites.

    The Jews must be exterminated.

    I say keep them around. Israel is a shining beacon of ethnonationalism, and more and more observant goyim catch on every day.

    “What gives” is that I think lunatic screeds about “America’s Jews” (like Noam Chomsky?) manipulating foreign policy do damage to the anti-war cause. I think solidarity and internationalism are the best weapons against militarism and imperialism.

    What a pinheaded way of looking at the world. As if a tiny fringe obviate the leviathan center.

    And I piss on internationalism from a great height. It’s synonymous with death and genocide. It IS imperialism.

    Jews are prominently represented in all areas which require cognitive leadership, but I won’t call it a preponderance. Calling it so would be inaccurate, if not wilfully mendacious.

    Nonsense. They’re practically absent from anything that resembles a White version of Zionism, for example. “How much” Jews are overrepresented is an important question; curiously, their overrepresentation in opinion-shaping and finance far outstretches their overrepresentation in most other areas. Almost as if areas that serve Jewish interests are of primary importance to the tribe…

    is not in dispute; what is, is this infernal charge of a Jewish plan spanning millennia. You must’ve seen it here. No matter whether one subscribes to a reality-based worldview or otherwise, that charge, strips off agency from all others: a patently absurd position, which can only arise from Antisemitism.

    “Hi, I’m a philosemite/anti-white, and here’s my straw man with a side of bullshit.”

    As millions of gentile youth went to Europe to fight Hitler and save their arses from the Nazis, the Jews overwhelming enrolled in colleges to avoid the draft.

    Actually, Jewish participation in WWII exceeded the Jewish share of the population. By the time the draft was ended, of course, it dwindled away to almost nothing. It currently stands at something like 1/9th their share of the population, IIRC.

    Ashkenazi Jews are mostly of European descent.

    Yeah, mostly, as in, about 55%. That ain’t European. That’s half-European. The other half is Levantine.

    God began from the concept of the tribal hero or leader, who evolved into an ethnic King either in reality or later myth, and then we had deified ancestor Kings as gods.

    I think gods began in the storm. Thunder is frightening, and begs explanation. As do the darkness and the light, etc., etc., etc. It’s man’s way of anthropomorphizing nature, at a time when he could explain very little. Anthropomorphization is a powerful human tendency; you still see people do it with their pets, for example, in this “rational” age. Projection in general (anthropomorphization seems to be a form of projection) is a powerful human tendency.

    I don’t disagree with the idea that hero-worship is a big part of superstition, too, but I think that came after, or is a parallel thing.

    “America’s Jews” reads, to me, like it refers to all Jews in America.

    It’s a tendentious reading, of philosemitic origin. Reasonable reading is that it refers to American Jews in the aggregate.

    At the very least, using the phrase indicates that one tends to see the differences among such a large group of people as unimportant enough to justify viewing them as a monolith rather than a diverse group of human beings who display wide variation in beliefs and behavior. I’d call that bigotry. If Giraldi would like to clarify, he’s free to do so.

    That’s tendentious, too. E.g., “Monolith” is the sort of bullshit that only philosemitic squid-inkers bring to the table.

    The bigotry is yours, manifested in your tendentiousness.

    Note what the left subjects to the preceding level of “rigor” and “critique,” and what they don’t. It shows what they care about. Jews? Yes. Whites? No. Etc.

    The government of Israel wants the character of Israel to be Jewish (although Rabbi Shapiro would argue, not TOO Jewish.

    Nearly half of Israeli Jews believe in ethnic cleansing, survey finds

    2016 Gallup poll shows 80% of Israeli Jews say Jews deserve preferential treatment in Israel, and 50% think Arabs should be expelled.

    Just so we have a baseline for what Israeli Jewry is, and isn’t. And a good handle on what diaspora Jews willingly and enthusiastically ally themselves to, when they aren’t obsessively policing anything similar from the minds of the White goyim.

    In fact, Jewish popular opinion tends, in my opinion, to be extremely stupid and self-destructive. In 2003, there were at least two states in the Middle East very hostile to Israel: Iraq and Iran. Who was the biggest enemy of Iran: Iraq. So, was taking out Iraq as a country helpful to Israel?

    The basic Israeli strategy is to tear down every regime around them, with priority given to regimes that show independence or hostility. I don’t see how this is stupid, so much as aggressive.

    It’s not like if the Jews dropped out they wouldn’t be replaced by non-Jews.

    Only way to find out is to remove Jews from power and observe the results. Empirical knowledge FTW.

    the most contemptible Zionists are always the goyim.

    from George Will to Tony Blair, Paul Ryan to Marco Rubio, they’re feces-eaters and they’ll do *anything* for their bag of thirty shekels – (access to little boys from war-torn regions for Lindsey Graham, television time for John McCain, political power for Paul Ryan)

    many of the Jewish neocons at least have some shred of dignity, as their treachery is at least intended to benefit their own tribe. But the goyim who serve Israel are lower than snail slime on the scale of abased human depravities. Marco would eat the **** literally out of Sheldon Adelson’s *** for a chance to be potus. Same for Jeb and all the other goyim feces feasters.

    it is because guys like Paul Ryan are utterly without a shred of human integrity or dignity that they’ve been anointed to serve the tribe.

    Very true.

    Guess what, tiny? We’re ready for you this time. Just try it. I dare you.

    Yes, and no. Nobody’s going to try to shoah the Jews of Israel. Everybody except Israel’s neighbors is just fiiiiine with there being a Jewish state for Jews to go live in, trust me. No, the next threat against the Jews, as pitiful as it may be at the moment, is to the diaspora. In America’s case, there is no superpower to come and save them. A distant, even phantasmal threat, perhaps, but the lack of any potential savior is worth mentioning.

    Now 3 out of 9 and, just writing on that which I know, I don’t see why you would regard Stephen Breyer’s Jewish ancestry as significant other than perhaps for the genes which equip him to be a good lawyer.

    Jew genes amount to more than just good lawyering.

    Israel is administratively a democracy, but it defines itself by race/blood. Any other country that did so would not only receive no US support, but would be the target of sanctions, with many American Jews leading the charge.

    Well said.

    Shouldn’t anti-Semites (Jewish and gentile alike) have to recuse themselves from commenting on Jews?

    Nick, I love ya, and I even have you on my Righteous Jews list (if only in pencil), but you’re a complete nut when it comes to the Jewish Question. I’d sooner listen to Abe Foxman.

    You know how it sounds for, say, "outsider"? I'll show you:

    Two partners created a criminal enterprise. Senior partner used some elements of junior partner background to enforce his legitimacy around other thugs around. In time the junior partner took over. The game suited him better; the very game the senior partner created.

    Now the senior partner is not happy. He want things as before....when HE was great, not this...junior....impostor who lost a feel for his place.

    So...he (the senior partner) says: "Things aren't good. The only way to get them better is to remove this ...impostor...".

    Then, a little thug from periphery asks: "Excuse me Boss...but...wouldn't then we be back to the same state of affairs when YOU were in charge? I mean...what's there for us...really? What's the difference?".

    @Sam Shama
    The main reason behind linking Ross' article as a response to Talha's post was to further examine what seems to me, a particularly vile idea, reminiscent of wearing the Star of David armband required of Jews back in the glory days of Germany, and thus a practice to be rationally rejected by all Americans.

    I do not agree with Ross' many views on a range of subjects, most importantly his [perhaps not overt, but unthinking] support of militant black hats in Israel. On Tikkun Olam, which requires every Jew to help heal the world, I am fully invested. To be clear, and this I mentioned to Jacques earlier, I believe any approach to the ME problem must be based on none else but uncompromised reality. It is for that reason I am deeply against BDS [which now gains support from #BLM]; for it will, on the ground, harm those it proposes to help, not to mention the corrupted roster of its actors, here, as on the Pal side.

    On Rosh Hashana, I am not aware of any prohibition on tweeting. And Plame is hardly an observant Jew if a Jew at all. I reckon she is one when she finds it effective. I suppose Ross was merely observing that her tweet could've been better timed, though I find myself shrugging my shoulders.

    [How can it be well-worn if it only appears on fringe sites? ]

    The subject of Neocon Jews fomenting ME wars has been discussed ad nauseum, including in books, like the one by Herrshiemer & Waltz, prior to by this piece on UR.

    Of course, he is piling on Plame. Frankly, I'd have given it a wide berth, especially in a major newspaper, but I guess Dennis wanted to say something, and now, Brett follows.

    [And how did he do that? White papers? Free and open discussions in all the national media of importance?]

    My impression was that Baker did not cast a particularly avuncular gaze upon Israel or toward Jews in general. It might've come as a directive of the POTUS.

    [Do you want us to understand that Irish-Americans vis-à-vis Ireland are equivalent to Jewish Americans vis-à-vis Israel? Do you want us to understand that Israel is “just like Ireland”?]

    No, I don't. Ross does apparently. I'll say what I've said before: the Jewish nation is only sixty of age, and therefore retains amongst Jews still that connection to the "mother country" as would've been the case amongst the Irish, or Italians, etc, 50-60 years after emigrating. Nevertheless, it is true that all ethnicities retain some connection with the old country for hundreds of years.

    [Maybe the difference is because missionaries don’t have a sovereign state in the ME. ]

    Everyone goes with a purpose. Missionaries to proselytise, Oilmen for oil and Jews like Ross to shape US policy in the direction they thought right.

    [Because as we all know, non-Jews can’t be committed to their community and to others, much less do they have any humanitarian obligations arising from the milieu of their community.]

    LOL. I'm quite sure he doesn't mean that. I think he presumes not to lecture anyone but his co-religionists.

    [In fact, this is actually a weakness. It would be much better to discuss the problem without engaging in mis-direction.]

    It is a bit of a misdirection.

    Parenthetically, diversity is an issue I struggle with as well. Still, here we are, and we do have a diverse nation. It's a diversity of races, religions and political views. I believe it vital that Diversity not get in the way of essential American culture. I am speaking of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and mom's apple pie. Of freedom from crony capitalism etc. It would be nice to retain America's original religious heritage, of which I have written in the past, but we shall see.

    [So, you and others who are like-minded are going to be after TAC like chickens after a Junebug?]

    Not quite sure I understand the metaphor.

    reminiscent of wearing the Star of David armband required of Jews back in the glory days of Germany, and thus a practice to be rationally rejected by all Americans

    Fully in agreement here, hence my railing against captions and tags early on in the thread.

    not to mention the corrupted roster of its actors

    Yes. Even if I was inclined to support BDS the inkiness of the bed-fellows would be a definite stumbling block for me. I do accept boycotts as legitimate political action.

    I reckon she is one when she finds it effective.

    I reckon this is the raisin date of identity.

    could’ve been better timed, though

    If tweeting on Rosh Hashana is not taboo there is nothing to time. The only purpose that I can see is that it is some sort of signal that I don’t understand, but I do understand that it is a signal.

    [How can it be well-worn if it only appears on fringe sites? ]

    The subject of Neocon Jews fomenting ME wars has been discussed ad nauseum, including in books, like the one by Herrshiemer & Waltz, prior to by this piece on UR.

    This is not even close to being wrong. It has not been frequently discussed, hardly discussed at all, in the MSM. If we could do some sort of search of the times that it is mentioned in polite society, the times that it is mentioned as some sort of bad-think would likely outnumber the serious discussion times.

    Of course, he is piling on Plame. Frankly, I’d have given it a wide berth, especially in a major newspaper, but I guess Dennis wanted to say something, and now, Brett follows.

    So, if I was right and this is what Giraldi wanted, it worked to a degree.

    It might’ve come as a directive of the POTUS.

    This is not open discussion of a change in policy.

    [Do you want us to understand that Irish-Americans vis-à-vis Ireland are equivalent to Jewish Americans vis-à-vis Israel? Do you want us to understand that Israel is “just like Ireland”?]

    therefore retains amongst Jews still that connection to the “mother country” as would’ve been the case amongst the Irish, or Italians, etc, 50-60 years after emigrating. Nevertheless, it is true that all ethnicities retain some connection with the old country for hundreds of years.

    This is a tough one. I am barely knowledgeable on the subject, but it seems to me that the intertwining of the Jewish identity with the State of Israel is not the same as Italians vis-à-vis Italy and I’m not sure that it ever will be.

    I think he presumes not to lecture anyone but his co-religionists.

    Then shouldn’t this article be in the synagogue weekly?

    [So, you and others who are like-minded are going to be after TAC like chickens after a Junebug?]

    Not quite sure I understand the metaphor.

    If diversity of thought and expression is the supreme virtue here, shouldn’t he be demanding that TAC restore Giraldi to his position?

    Protestantism’s alluded-to-but-unnamed heretical standpoint on the Jews aside:

    1 I daresay there are a lot more countersemites of Protestant than Catholic origin.
    2 The centralization inherent to the Catholic Church is a bad idea for a number of reasons, foremost of which is rigidity. Protestantism can sprout a new, immunized sect in 5 seconds flat, and Protestants have little resistance to joining new sects. Meanwhile, Catholics have made an open leftist heretic their “pope.”
    3 As mentioned in 2, joining a new sect isn’t a huge deal for a Protestant. For a Catholic to leave their Total Institution is like apostasy. It’s a huge deal. Bad mojo, IMO.
    4 Protestantism is organized more like an insurgency. It’s easy to form new cells. Catholicism is a very different animal, too hidebound, rigid, etc. Reform is much easier for Protestants.
    5 Jews are much warmer toward Catholics than they are toward Protestants.

    This is a fallacy, same as the furore over Pakistani men -> grooming gangs. The left is claiming that the phrase implies ‘all’ [collective punishment is not allowed (collective guilt is though)]. But that is incorrect. If one wants to make the point that all am-jews are driving am-wars then one would have to explicitly state that, otherwise the default meaning is ‘some’. Tell me I’m wrong, but that’s how I learned the dear old lingo.

    Yeah but Jews are god’s chosen and get a different set of rules.

    Jim Christian: yes, 1 SC seat represents about 11% of that body. Jews are no more than 5%, so at most they should have 1 appointment. And that Justice should be replaced with a non-Jew, who will then be followed by a Jew. That would be overrepresentation, probably, but close enough for gov’t work.

    What smokescreen? And are you aware that you appear to be complaining that st least 6 non-Jewish justices have been too weak in character or intellect to resist the persuasion of a maximum of 3 Jewish justces? Are you really that stupid?

    Moreover you seem to be ignorant of the fact that the court hss long had on it 6 Catholic and 3 Jewish Justices, but no Protestants, in a country gounded by Protestants and still substsntially Pròtestant. Nothing to say?

    Douchebag answer. Don’t change the subject from overrepresentation to something else, and pretend we’re too stupid to notice. P.S., we want to sort the mackerel-snappers out, too.

    “World War 2 was a Jewish war”. That’s just barmy stuff. What did Jews have to do with the Anschluss or Hitler’s invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland? What did they have to do with Japan’s attacks on China then SE Asia and Pearl Harbor?

    They had an awful lot to do with the Bolsheviks. No Bolsheviks, no NSDAP takeover of Germany, no WWII.

    You’re a Jew, aren’t you? You call yourself “Aussie,” but you’re a Jew, right? Forgive me if we’ve had this convo, have a very male brain and it doesn’t keep personal details of commenters very well.

    Of course this would not apply to Jewish writers who write nothing but defenses of most things Jewish.

    Well, you are getting to shakier ground here. Certainly, code words like cabal are a tip-off (blood and treasure is one of my favorites). The key word here is control. Jews are disproportionately represented in the media, greatly over-represented. Not only that, as anti-Semites and other observers note, all hell can break loose if something dear to the hearts of Jews is questioned.

    <3) The subject connects dots linking Jews to something, while totally ignoring all the participants who are not Jewish …
     
    Same disproportionality problem here as in #2.

    … neglects to mention that MOST of the Jews in congress opposed the Neo-Cons and voted against the Iraq war resolution.
     
    This is a pretty weak argument here because the outcome of votes are known to the leadership so when there is no doubt on the outcome, members can be allowed to vote for show. (Happens every day.)

    4) As if all Jews have a secret meeting where they come to a consensus on everything…
     
    No, they do it in public, right in front of God and everybody. cf. NYT>Ross>Plame

    Israel is administratively a democracy, but it defines itself by race/blood. Any other country that did so would not only receive no US support, but would be the target of sanctions, with many American Jews leading the charge.
     
    Well said.

    Shouldn’t anti-Semites (Jewish and gentile alike) have to recuse themselves from commenting on Jews?
     
    Nick, I love ya, and I even have you on my Righteous Jews list (if only in pencil), but you're a complete nut when it comes to the Jewish Question. I'd sooner listen to Abe Foxman.

    Haha…..

    Only way to find out is to remove Jews from power and observe the results.

    You know how it sounds for, say, “outsider”? I’ll show you:

    Two partners created a criminal enterprise. Senior partner used some elements of junior partner background to enforce his legitimacy around other thugs around. In time the junior partner took over. The game suited him better; the very game the senior partner created.

    Now the senior partner is not happy. He want things as before….when HE was great, not this…junior….impostor who lost a feel for his place.

    So…he (the senior partner) says: “Things aren’t good. The only way to get them better is to remove this …impostor…”.

    Then, a little thug from periphery asks: “Excuse me Boss…but…wouldn’t then we be back to the same state of affairs when YOU were in charge? I mean…what’s there for us…really? What’s the difference?”.

    Makes sense?

    Guide for Spotting Anti-Semitic Political Writer:

    1) The subject seems obsessed with all things Jewish...how many articles has the person written about Jews this or that?

    2) The subject claims a Jewish cabal controls X, then lists a bunch of actors involved in X, half of whom are not even Jewish. Example: The Jews control the media, just look at all the Jews in the media: Bloomberg, Murdoch (not actually Jewish), Bezos (not actually Jewish), Saban, Turner (not actually Jewish), etc etc.

    3) The subject connects dots linking Jews to something, while totally ignoring all the participants who are not Jewish, or the Jews who are completely against that something. For example, subject lists all the Jewish neo-cons (and don't forget, half the folks on his Jew list are not actual Jews), neglects to tell us about all the non-Jewish neo cons, and also neglects to mention that MOST of the Jews in congress opposed the Neo-Cons and voted against the Iraq war resolution.

    4) The subject makes the claim that Jews control X, or favor Y. As if all Jews have a secret meeting where they come to a consensus on everything.....forgetting for a minute that Jews in actuality occupy the spectrum of political opinions like any other group.

    5) The subject always claims self-righteously, that the MSM is trying to silence them, not because he/she is practicing obvious bigotry, but because the MSM is....controlled by....guess who....not the Armenians.......not the Greeks....getting warmer...The JEWS!

    I’ve always liked Phil Giraldi’s work at TAC, but saying that Jews should be barred from working in any U.S. government position that relates to Israel and that the media should display a “Jew alert” when ever a Jewish American appears on TV is way over the line. I’m very opposed to the Israel lobby, but how is having special rules against Jews anything other than anti-Semitism?

    Ethan,

    The primary reason that no one talks about the AQ or KQ is that Armenians and Koreans have been relatively reticent about airing grievance and providing suggestions for amendment of fundamental social structures. If you behave as a control freak and attention engine, please do not be surprised when the natives address the question.

    Thousands gather to mourn US Armenian er Jewish student imprisoned in North Korea
    Otto Warmbier recalled by family, friends at Ohio funeral as a spirited young man with 'a deep desire to know God in a personal way'
    By AP and ERIC CORTELLESSA
    June 22, 2017
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/family-friends-gather-for-funeral-of-us-jewish-student-imprisoned-in-n-korea/

    WYOMING, Ohio — Hundreds of mourners gathered Thursday to celebrate the life of a Jewish American college student who was detained in North Korea for over a year and died shortly after being returned home to Ohio in a coma.

    Otto Warmbier’s brother, sister and friends were among the scheduled speakers for the funeral Thursday at a high school in his hometown of Wyoming, near Cincinnati. A rabbi was officiating at the public service, which was closed to the news media.


    Rabbi Jake Rubin, executive director of the Brody Jewish Center at the University of Virginia, called Warmbier “one of the most intellectually curious people I’ve ever met” during the service.

    US Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican from the Cincinnati area, told the throng of reporters stationed outside that Warmbier was “an amazing young man” from a resilient family and that North Korea must be held accountable for what happened to the 22-year-old University of Virginia student, who died Monday.

    “This college kid never should have been detained in the first place,” said Portman, who previously revealed that he met secretly with North Korean officials in New York last December to press for Warmbier’s release. He said North Korea’s treatment of Otto demonstrated “a basic disregard for human rights, for human dignity.”

    Warmbier was accused of trying to steal a propaganda banner while visiting North Korea in 2015 and was later convicted of subversion. His family said they were told that he had been in a coma since shortly after he was sentenced to prison with hard labor in March 2016.




    His former soccer coach, Steve Thomas, said Warmbier came from a religious family and was involved in mission trips and a Birthright trip to Israel.

    “He had a deep desire to know God in a personal way,” Thomas said. “He wasn’t big on doing things because he was supposed to do it. He did things because he wanted to do them.”

    During his incarceration, Warmbier’s family was advised to keep his Jewish background and identity concealed while officials tried to negotiate his release, a negotiator told The Times of Israel.

    That was because the North Korean justification for his imprisonment centered on a dubious claim that Warmbier had stolen a propaganda poster in a Pyongyang hotel lobby on orders from the Friendship United Methodist Church in Wyoming, Ohio, to bring it back “as a trophy” in exchange for a used car worth $10,000.

    “We didn’t want to share it,” said Mickey Bergman, who worked on negotiations for Warmbier’s release, referring to the fact of Warmbier’s Jewishness. “The family chose, rightfully so, not to share that information while he was in captivity… because they didn’t want to embarrass [North Korea] by explaining that he actually was Jewish” and thus would not have been affiliated with the church.

    “That’s why that part of the story was kept quiet,” added Bergman, executive director of The Richardson Center, an organization founded by former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson that works to negotiate the release of prisoners and hostages held by hostile regimes.

    Warmbier was visiting the reclusive Asian nation on a New Year’s student tour in January 2016. He was arrested just before departing Pyongyang International Airport. Earlier in his trip, he was briefly detained for taking down a sign on a staff-only floor at the Yanggakdo International Hotel, where he was staying.

    Almost two months later, he appeared at a staged news conference, clearly under coercion, where he gave a tearful confession and begged for forgiveness. It was there that North Korean officials told CNN their belief of the church’s role in the incident.



    “If that’s what their story is, there’s no point fighting it if your objective is to get him out,” Bergman said. “When you realize he’s Jewish, you realize how ridiculous that claim is.”

    After Warmbier’s release last week — in a coma and suffering severe brain damage — reports surfaced that he had gone on a Birthright trip in 2014 and subsequently became active with his campus Hillel at the University of Virginia (UVA).

    During his visit to Israel, Warmbier was given a Hebrew name and wrote a blog post about his experience visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City for the first time.

    Permit me to make a small observation, Iffen. I am confident that any person uninitiated to the customs and themes on offer at UR, especially in PG's pieces, would arrive at a conclusion the contours of which I needn't leave to your imagination. This address, additionally, has the potential to delude the unmindful. There are some truths to be gleaned here, yet most of it rendered outre through vicious zeal and outright mendacity; and, as all conspiracies, entirely self-perpetuating in their outlandishness.

    Ethan's reaction is entirely normal. He is likely a new reader of this webzine, and his reaction is that of someone who has a good grip on reality. Speaking one's position does not make a poster a hasbarist. Indians are not merely motel owners but in fact the dominant group in Silicon Valley. Koreans, are not nail salonists; while not a group which has risen in easily visible political rank, they remain nevertheless, highly significant politically, in that S.Korea is a vital partner in American economic interests. Ditto Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and now, increasingly India. The US will not forfeit her interests in these groups any more than Russia will in her's. Nations only have interests, not drinking buddies.

    Iffen, apologies, but I'll use this space for a general message:
    General message to snivellers: Jews may be dominant in many areas of American life and business today. What of it? Are we required to assume a deliberately submissive back-seat because a fringe group would like us to? If so, they can think again. I invite the churlish mental midgets to unseat us from those positions both real and figments of their imaginations. Or, you can rant on the UR - a great deal easier, while Jews, Indians, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans, etc. eat your lunch :) . Hopping mad yet?

    The main reason behind linking Ross' article as a response to Talha's post was to further examine what seems to me, a particularly vile idea, reminiscent of wearing the Star of David armband required of Jews back in the glory days of Germany, and thus a practice to be rationally rejected by all Americans.

    I do not agree with Ross' many views on a range of subjects, most importantly his [perhaps not overt, but unthinking] support of militant black hats in Israel. On Tikkun Olam, which requires every Jew to help heal the world, I am fully invested. To be clear, and this I mentioned to Jacques earlier, I believe any approach to the ME problem must be based on none else but uncompromised reality. It is for that reason I am deeply against BDS [which now gains support from #BLM]; for it will, on the ground, harm those it proposes to help, not to mention the corrupted roster of its actors, here, as on the Pal side.

    On Rosh Hashana, I am not aware of any prohibition on tweeting. And Plame is hardly an observant Jew if a Jew at all. I reckon she is one when she finds it effective. I suppose Ross was merely observing that her tweet could've been better timed, though I find myself shrugging my shoulders.

    [How can it be well-worn if it only appears on fringe sites? ]

    The subject of Neocon Jews fomenting ME wars has been discussed ad nauseum, including in books, like the one by Herrshiemer & Waltz, prior to by this piece on UR.

    Of course, he is piling on Plame. Frankly, I'd have given it a wide berth, especially in a major newspaper, but I guess Dennis wanted to say something, and now, Brett follows.

    [And how did he do that? White papers? Free and open discussions in all the national media of importance?]

    My impression was that Baker did not cast a particularly avuncular gaze upon Israel or toward Jews in general. It might've come as a directive of the POTUS.

    [Do you want us to understand that Irish-Americans vis-à-vis Ireland are equivalent to Jewish Americans vis-à-vis Israel? Do you want us to understand that Israel is “just like Ireland”?]

    No, I don't. Ross does apparently. I'll say what I've said before: the Jewish nation is only sixty of age, and therefore retains amongst Jews still that connection to the "mother country" as would've been the case amongst the Irish, or Italians, etc, 50-60 years after emigrating. Nevertheless, it is true that all ethnicities retain some connection with the old country for hundreds of years.

    [Maybe the difference is because missionaries don’t have a sovereign state in the ME. ]

    Everyone goes with a purpose. Missionaries to proselytise, Oilmen for oil and Jews like Ross to shape US policy in the direction they thought right.

    [Because as we all know, non-Jews can’t be committed to their community and to others, much less do they have any humanitarian obligations arising from the milieu of their community.]

    LOL. I'm quite sure he doesn't mean that. I think he presumes not to lecture anyone but his co-religionists.

    [In fact, this is actually a weakness. It would be much better to discuss the problem without engaging in mis-direction.]

    It is a bit of a misdirection.

    Parenthetically, diversity is an issue I struggle with as well. Still, here we are, and we do have a diverse nation. It's a diversity of races, religions and political views. I believe it vital that Diversity not get in the way of essential American culture. I am speaking of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and mom's apple pie. Of freedom from crony capitalism etc. It would be nice to retain America's original religious heritage, of which I have written in the past, but we shall see.

    [So, you and others who are like-minded are going to be after TAC like chickens after a Junebug?]

    Not quite sure I understand the metaphor.

    Do you want us to understand that Israel is “just like Ireland”?]

    therefore retains amongst Jews still that connection to the “mother country” as would’ve been the case amongst the Irish, or Italians, etc, 50-60 years after emigrating.

    Play It Again Sam – Sing “Six Million Lie”,

    Any comparison between the Irish, Italians, and Greeks of seventy years ago and current day Jew control of our political system is ludicrous – it is insulting – it is mendacity cubed.

    What 9/11 event did the Irish, Italians, and Greeks bring to our shores.

    What wars did America engage in for the Irish, Italians, and Greeks?

    What are the AIPAC’S associated with the Irish, Italians, and Greeks?

    I see that hasbara has descended on this tread – with thousands of words – all with a twist – a spin – a half-truth – a big lie – and all with intended malicious mendacity aimed at quelling free speech.

    I know this is wasted on you Jews but —-

    Anyone who talks about "The JQ," is just a person obsessed with Jews, and it's disgusting and anti-semitic imo. Why does no one talk about the KQ (Korean Question) or the AQ (Armenian Question)? Where I live in San Francisco, Koreans are half the landlords and run half the municipal government. The US is currently poised to break hell loose in order to protect the tiny little beloved ally for whom we spilled ample American blood and treasure during the Korean War. We have a dedicated army currently sitting in South Korea playing body guard for a tiny country with disproportionately strong influence in US politics, a disproportionately strong economy (built on US tax payer money), disproportionately strong individual wealth (among Korean Americans). The US hasn't shed 1 life defending the Jewish state, but we shed 30,000+ lives fighting for South Korea and continue to spend literally billions every year, maintaining a military presence on and near the Korean Peninsula....yet no one talks about a Korean Question. Or Korean control of XYZ?

    Take the word "Jews," replace it with just about any ethnicity or nationality or religion, and spend all day connecting dots which may or may not exist, and I'm sure you can create an equally compelling narrative about how "Koreans," or "Armenians," or "Italians" control XYZ. These "JQ-talking" people spend all day trying to connect dots regarding Jews, and they all suffer from observation bias. They over-select Jews in certain categories, ignore all the non-Jews in that category, ignore all the Jews that DON'T fit in that category, and then craft a compelling story about how Jews run their world. The reality is that Jewish opinions on every matter vary across a huge spectrum. There's 13-15 Million Jews on Earth and they have more or less the same control over their affairs as any other group of a similar size. This obsession with Jews is positively medieval. It's ancient anti-semitism in a modern outfit. I'm shocked at how un-aware some of you people are....do you realize that you sound like the fools who accuse Germany's defeat in WWI on a Jewish conspiracy? It's insane, it's factually incorrect, and it's bigotry against Jews.

    Ethan,

    The primary reason that no one talks about the AQ or KQ is that Armenians and Koreans have been relatively reticent about airing grievance and providing suggestions for amendment of fundamental social structures. If you behave as a control freak and attention engine, please do not be surprised when the natives address the question.

    Ethan,

    That is an outrageous lie. No other ethnicity comes within one hundred million miles of the Jews when it comes to controlling America.

    How can you write crap like that?

    If you are comparing the Patels running the budget motel businesses, the Vietnamese dominating the nail salon business and the Korean wig shop dominance on the one hand with the influence of Jews in the visual and print media, and the financial, economic, academic, legal and governmental sectors in the US and much of the West, you are absolutely correct; you just happen to be 3 or 4 orders of magnitude off in the importance department.

    I am not obsessed with the JQ, although the longer it takes me to climb out of this rabbit-hole weakens the certainty of that assertion.

    We actually created South Korea, and that was before Vietnam taught us how to extricate ourselves from that type of situation, so there we are.

    Thousands gather to mourn US Armenian er Jewish student imprisoned in North Korea
    Otto Warmbier recalled by family, friends at Ohio funeral as a spirited young man with ‘a deep desire to know God in a personal way’
    By AP and ERIC CORTELLESSA
    June 22, 2017

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/family-friends-gather-for-funeral-of-us-jewish-student-imprisoned-in-n-korea/

    WYOMING, Ohio — Hundreds of mourners gathered Thursday to celebrate the life of a Jewish American college student who was detained in North Korea for over a year and died shortly after being returned home to Ohio in a coma.

    Otto Warmbier’s brother, sister and friends were among the scheduled speakers for the funeral Thursday at a high school in his hometown of Wyoming, near Cincinnati. A rabbi was officiating at the public service, which was closed to the news media.

    Rabbi Jake Rubin, executive director of the Brody Jewish Center at the University of Virginia, called Warmbier “one of the most intellectually curious people I’ve ever met” during the service.

    US Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican from the Cincinnati area, told the throng of reporters stationed outside that Warmbier was “an amazing young man” from a resilient family and that North Korea must be held accountable for what happened to the 22-year-old University of Virginia student, who died Monday.

    “This college kid never should have been detained in the first place,” said Portman, who previously revealed that he met secretly with North Korean officials in New York last December to press for Warmbier’s release. He said North Korea’s treatment of Otto demonstrated “a basic disregard for human rights, for human dignity.”

    Warmbier was accused of trying to steal a propaganda banner while visiting North Korea in 2015 and was later convicted of subversion. His family said they were told that he had been in a coma since shortly after he was sentenced to prison with hard labor in March 2016.

    His former soccer coach, Steve Thomas, said Warmbier came from a religious family and was involved in mission trips and a Birthright trip to Israel.

    “He had a deep desire to know God in a personal way,” Thomas said. “He wasn’t big on doing things because he was supposed to do it. He did things because he wanted to do them.”

    During his incarceration, Warmbier’s family was advised to keep his Jewish background and identity concealed while officials tried to negotiate his release, a negotiator told The Times of Israel.

    That was because the North Korean justification for his imprisonment centered on a dubious claim that Warmbier had stolen a propaganda poster in a Pyongyang hotel lobby on orders from the Friendship United Methodist Church in Wyoming, Ohio, to bring it back “as a trophy” in exchange for a used car worth $10,000.

    “We didn’t want to share it,” said Mickey Bergman, who worked on negotiations for Warmbier’s release, referring to the fact of Warmbier’s Jewishness. “The family chose, rightfully so, not to share that information while he was in captivity… because they didn’t want to embarrass [North Korea] by explaining that he actually was Jewish” and thus would not have been affiliated with the church.

    “That’s why that part of the story was kept quiet,” added Bergman, executive director of The Richardson Center, an organization founded by former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson that works to negotiate the release of prisoners and hostages held by hostile regimes.

    Warmbier was visiting the reclusive Asian nation on a New Year’s student tour in January 2016. He was arrested just before departing Pyongyang International Airport. Earlier in his trip, he was briefly detained for taking down a sign on a staff-only floor at the Yanggakdo International Hotel, where he was staying.

    Almost two months later, he appeared at a staged news conference, clearly under coercion, where he gave a tearful confession and begged for forgiveness. It was there that North Korean officials told CNN their belief of the church’s role in the incident.

    “If that’s what their story is, there’s no point fighting it if your objective is to get him out,” Bergman said. “When you realize he’s Jewish, you realize how ridiculous that claim is.”

    After Warmbier’s release last week — in a coma and suffering severe brain damage — reports surfaced that he had gone on a Birthright trip in 2014 and subsequently became active with his campus Hillel at the University of Virginia (UVA).

    During his visit to Israel, Warmbier was given a Hebrew name and wrote a blog post about his experience visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City for the first time.

    Jews are white.

    I always assumed so, but actually many would deny it. Ben Shapiro seemed uncertain on the point. Mike Wallace once objected to being characterized as white. Those who are Sephardic may be of the same stock as Arabs. The Ashkenazi may be of mixed blood. Since Jewish writers tend to demonize the white race (e.g. Susan Sontag: ‘The white race is the cancer of history’) perhaps most don’t see themselves as white.

    We can add two more groups – Alliance for Securing Democracy and InvestigateRussia.org – to the already very long list of groups that form the Zionist Lobby:

    A highly touted story yesterday from the New York Times – claiming that Russians used Twitter more widely known than before to manipulate U.S. politics – demonstrates this recklessness. The story is based on the claims of a new group formed just two months ago by a union of neocons and Democratic national security officials, led by long-time liars and propagandists such as Bill Kristol, former acting CIA chief Mike Morell, and Bush Homeland Security Secretary Mike Chertoff. I reported on the founding of this group, calling itself the Alliance for Securing Democracy, when it was unveiled (this is not to be confused with the latest new Russia group unveiled last week by Rob Reiner and David Frum and featuring a different former CIA chief (James Clapper) – calling itself InvestigateRussia.org – featuring a video declaring that the U.S. is now “at war with Russia”).

    A little more background on the Alliance for Securing Democracy and its primary objective:

    The Neocons, Again!

    So, let’s stop and unpack this Times’ reporting. First, this Alliance for Securing Democracy is not some neutral truth-seeking organization but a neoconservative-dominated outfit that includes on its advisory board such neocon luminaries as Mike Chertoff, Bill Kristol and former Freedom House president David Kramer along with other anti-Russia hardliners such as former deputy CIA director Michael Morell and former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers.

    How many of these guys, do you think, were assuring us that Iraq was hiding WMDs back in 2003?

    This group clearly has an ax to grind, a record of deception, and plenty of patrons in the Military-Industrial Complex who stand to make billions of dollars from the New Cold War.

    The neocons also have been targeting Russia for regime change for years because they see Russian President Vladimir Putin as the chief obstacle to their goal of helping Israel achieve its desire for “regime change” in Syria and a chance to bomb-bomb-bomb Iran. Russia-gate has served the neocons well as a very convenient way to pull Democrats, liberals and even progressives into the neocon agenda because Russia-gate is sold as a powerful weapon for the anti-Trump Resistance…

    So, a scramble is on to develop seemingly academic models to “prove” what Western authorities want proven: that Russia is at fault for pretty much every bad thing that happens in the world, particularly the alienation of many working-class people from the Washington-Brussels elites.

    The truth cannot be that establishment policies have led to massive income inequality and left the working class struggling to survive and thus are to blame for ugly political manifestations – from Trump to Brexit to the surprising support for Germany’s far-right AfD party. No, it must be Russia! Russia! Russia! And there’s a lot of money on the bed to prove that point.

    1. No one here will defend Koreans. That’s because criticism of Koreans isn’t attacked by hyperethnocentric Koreans, or their water-carrying mopes, as “disgusting” or [special, very specific word for anti-Korean sentiment that everyone knows and fears here]. That’s because Koreans don’t have a giant hasbara team working for free in the USA.

    2. Why do Jews never talk about non-European racism? Why are they so obsessed with Europeans’ racism, Europeans’ attitudes, Europeans’ immigration policy, Europeans’ xenophobia, Europeans Europeans Europeans Europeans Europeans?

    Jews miserably fail to live up to your standards.

    Take the word “Jews,” replace it with just about any ethnicity or nationality or religion, and spend all day connecting dots which may or may not exist, and I’m sure you can create an equally compelling narrative about how “Koreans,” or “Armenians,” or “Italians” control XYZ.

    AND NO ONE WILL GIVE A FUCK. THERE WILL BE NO ARMY DEPLOYED TO UNPERSON HIM. THERE WILL BE NO TEAM OF KOREAN HASBARISTS UP HIS NOSE.

    Really, Jewish guy? Not on the issue of White Americans having for themselves what Jews have for themselves in Israel. The Jewish opinion on that one is pretty much monolithic: “over our dead bodies.”

    This obsession with Jews is positively medieval. It’s ancient anti-semitism in a modern outfit. I’m shocked at how un-aware some of you people are….do you realize that you sound like the fools who accuse Germany’s defeat in WWI on a Jewish conspiracy? It’s insane, it’s factually incorrect, and it’s bigotry against Jews.

    Jews: “German Nazis murdered 6 million Jews.”
    Also Jews: “The idea that Soviet Jews were instrumental to the USSR’s murder of tens of millions of people, a great many of them before Hitler ever became chancellor of Germany, is antisemitism.”

    Jews: “Jewish White Supremacy (Zionism) is great, and Jews’ right.”
    Also Jews: “White ethnonationalism is bad, Whites have no right.”

    We’ve heard it all before, kiddo.

    You need to work on your anti-Semitic detection devices. I think that there is some sort of overload in the circuitry.

    Permit me to make a small observation, Iffen. I am confident that any person uninitiated to the customs and themes on offer at UR, especially in PG’s pieces, would arrive at a conclusion the contours of which I needn’t leave to your imagination. This address, additionally, has the potential to delude the unmindful. There are some truths to be gleaned here, yet most of it rendered outre through vicious zeal and outright mendacity; and, as all conspiracies, entirely self-perpetuating in their outlandishness.

    Ethan’s reaction is entirely normal. He is likely a new reader of this webzine, and his reaction is that of someone who has a good grip on reality. Speaking one’s position does not make a poster a hasbarist. Indians are not merely motel owners but in fact the dominant group in Silicon Valley. Koreans, are not nail salonists; while not a group which has risen in easily visible political rank, they remain nevertheless, highly significant politically, in that S.Korea is a vital partner in American economic interests. Ditto Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and now, increasingly India. The US will not forfeit her interests in these groups any more than Russia will in her’s. Nations only have interests, not drinking buddies.

    Iffen, apologies, but I’ll use this space for a general message:
    General message to snivellers: Jews may be dominant in many areas of American life and business today. What of it? Are we required to assume a deliberately submissive back-seat because a fringe group would like us to? If so, they can think again. I invite the churlish mental midgets to unseat us from those positions both real and figments of their imaginations. Or, you can rant on the UR – a great deal easier, while Jews, Indians, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans, etc. eat your lunch :) . Hopping mad yet?

    Well....well......

    A couple of things out of it.

    First, your group is seen as a competitor in the power game. Not a victim, not a group to be careful about because of all those bad things that happened to it, but a competitor. That's for power players. Your "smart" approach could, maybe, appease those other players. Worked well so far. But maybe you just got too successful?

    Second, for the common people. In the current world (1 %, destruction of middle class and the works) your group, as the top group in the game is then perceived responsible for all that. All the.....rage....at the current paradigm goes against your group. What is that hard to understand about it I wonder? Your "smart" approach does not work here. The world here is crude, simple and hard. Nor erudite spinning works here.

    So....you have a problem. Your group, and then of course, implicitly you.

    You are also smart enough to understand that what protects you, really, is a collusion with Anglo-Saxon group. While your group controls "smarts" of the system, they control "tools" of it. The power of the state. Police...military.....guns....The things that, ultimately, really matter in the game of power. Nobody would give a shit about saying what he/she thinks about Jews if it weren't for the power of the state. Don't delude yourself for a second that control of finance, media, educational system and such gives you the power. The power you guys have comes, ultimately, as always, from the barrel of the gun. Currently it's police, but people know if it really comes to that the military will step in too.

    So...either way you cut it, it appears that you pissed your main competitor and previous senior partner. So, yes, you do have a problem "out of it".

    2) The subject claims a Jewish cabal controls X, then lists a bunch of actors involved in X, half of whom are not even Jewish. Example: The Jews control the media, just look at all the Jews in the media: Bloomberg, Murdoch (not actually Jewish), Bezos (not actually Jewish), Saban, Turner (not actually Jewish), etc etc.

    Fun fact about Bezos, the Jewish press (JTA? Can’t remember) incorrectly identified him as Jewish, had to issue a correction. Those raging antisemites in the Jewish press! *shakes fist*

    As for Murdoch, he’s just a fanatical Zionist, not a Jew. He reminds me a bit of that fake Jew in Snatch, Dough the Head. I’m prompted to wonder what’s the difference, exactly?

    3) The subject connects dots linking Jews to something, while totally ignoring all the participants who are not Jewish, or the Jews who are completely against that something. For example, subject lists all the Jewish neo-cons (and don’t forget, half the folks on his Jew list are not actual Jews), neglects to tell us about all the non-Jewish neo cons, and also neglects to mention that MOST of the Jews in congress opposed the Neo-Cons and voted against the Iraq war resolution.

    Well, if you’re making the argument that Jews are up to no good, it makes sense to focus on Jews. Somebody else being up to no good doesn’t absolve the Jews being up to no good, does it?

    But sure, let’s talk about how, say, American Whites are up to no good, just like American Jews are up to no good. There’s really no difference, right? American Jews are big-time “anti-racists” who police American Whites for any hint of ethnonationalism, even as they are politically wedded to the Jewish White Supremacist state, Israel. Similarly, American Whites are big-time “anti-racists” who police American Whites for any hint of ethnonationalism, even as… oh. I guess there isn’t that much similarity there at all! My mistake.

    4) The subject makes the claim that Jews control X, or favor Y. As if all Jews have a secret meeting where they come to a consensus on everything…..forgetting for a minute that Jews in actuality occupy the spectrum of political opinions like any other group.

    Jewish White Supremacy is baked into the Jewish cultural cake. They don’t need secret meetings; they’re raised as Jewish White Supremacists from birth.

    Jews don’t occupy any “spectrum” on denying to White Americans what Jews have for themselves in Israel; they’re all down with the program.

    5) The subject always claims self-righteously, that the MSM is trying to silence them, not because he/she is practicing obvious bigotry, but because the MSM is….controlled by….guess who….not the Armenians…….not the Greeks….getting warmer…The JEWS!

    If you don’t think the Jews effectively control Big Media, your head’s up your ass.

    P.S., Jewish guy, why don’t Jews like you ever go to bat for other groups they way you just have for Jews? Answer: because Jews are ethnocentric.

Koreans, are not nail salonists; while not a group which has risen in easily visible political rank, they remain nevertheless, highly significant politically, in that S.Korea is a vital partner in American economic interests.

    I mean let’s just review a few salient facts, just to make sure they don’t get overlooked:

    American Jews are “leftist” as Hell: 75% voted against Trump, and 72% voted for Hillary (they’re “anti-racist” as Hell, too, but I don’t have exit poll numbers for that). All other White American demographics voted for Trump, often substantially so. This is a huge disconnect between the two groups.

    American Jews are also Zionist. Zionism is the overwhelming reigning ideology of American Jews, right up there with their “leftism” and “anti-racism.” Anti-Zionism is a total fringe among American Jews. There is nothing remotely like an anti-AIPAC among Americans in general, never mind Jews in particular, to counter Jews’ AIPAC.

    Again, here are the people who American Jews are allied to, via their Zionism:

    Half of Israeli Jews think Arabs should be ethnically cleansed from Israel; 80% think Jews deserve preferential treatment in Israel

    Jews can’t defend this obvious Jewish White Supremacy. So they deny (“American Jews aren’t Zionist,” and other such obvious horseshit), obfuscate, deflect.

    Keep in mind I am criticizing from the right; I want Whites and Euros to start acting JUST…LIKE…JEWS.

    ANTISEMITISM!!!

    To sum up my previous comment; not only are diaspora Jews way more “leftist” and “anti-racist” than White Americans, they’re also way more “rightist” and “racist” than White Americans. The only way to square this circle is Jewish Supremacy; Jews do what’s “good for the Jews.” In the diaspora, as a minority, that means pushing leftism and “anti-racism.” In Israel, as a majority, that means pushing rightism and “racism.” Globally, it means a strong alliance between the two camps.

    That’s Jewish White Supremacy, plain and simple. There’s no better explanation (Occam’s Razor certainly agrees).

    Now, are Jews, in the main and in the aggregate, conscious of this? No. They’re masters of rationalization, compartmentalization, self-deception, etc. And one of the least ethnically introspective groups on the planet, after correcting for IQ (usually it’s stupid people who share that trait). And the major convenience of Jewish Culture is, if you criticize them, question them, or bring this stuff to their attention, you’re an antisemtic Nazi who wants to kill 6 million more. Basically, their Jewish White Supremacist culture is hardened, weaponized, and impenetrable to criticism.

    Jews fucking know I’m right. They always run from me or ignore me after a few exchanges. They’re too ethnocentric and in love with themselves to handle an honest discussion of this issue.

    If diaspora Jews divest from the sniveling Israeli Jewish race, which bars all competition from foreign goys altogether (Chinese alone would eat their lunch, otherwise), you’ll have a point. But as long as Israeli Jewry cowers in fear of competition, not so much.

    Life is a study in duality, or did you miss that important lesson in the Talmud? For Chrissakes! Why Talmud? Our G'd the omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient, the definition of perfection, was split asunder in Christianity to become a human, with all sins, including argumentativeness.

    Well, perhaps I am wrong about the duality; I should more accurately speak of the Trinity: what is the Holy ghost? Do you realise that when you chose Jesus you submittted to this Jewish paradox?

    Now, are Jews, in the main and in the aggregate, conscious of this? No.
     

    Are you blind? Jewish introspectiveness, or rather its surfeit, is precisely why we are usually branded neurotic. Woody Allen anyone? What about the crazy loon Jews dotting the landscape? The ones that support the BDS and the like, people like Weiss, Finklestein and their ilk?

    Basically, their Jewish White Supremacist culture is hardened, weaponized, and impenetrable to criticism.
     

    Humbug. Define White. Jews can be white-skinned, olive skinned, and every shade in between and beyond. Listen to Ben Shapiro. He says clearly he is White, but his wife, who is of Moroccan heritage isn't. Jews overwhelmingly do not subscribe to any form of supremacism. When you see a plurality of Israelis expressing the view that Arabs ought to be driven out of Israel, you are witnessing rather a recent attitude precipitated by many factors.

    "Divest from Israeli Jewish race". Ok by that you mean Jewish Americans should stop supporting Israel, I presume. Break up AIPAC? Stop using Israeli products and technology? Why should they? The Chinese are actually increasing their collaboration with Israel [as is India], so why precisely should American Jews do the reverse?

    Well….well……

    A couple of things out of it.

    First, your group is seen as a competitor in the power game. Not a victim, not a group to be careful about because of all those bad things that happened to it, but a competitor. That’s for power players. Your “smart” approach could, maybe, appease those other players. Worked well so far. But maybe you just got too successful?

    Second, for the common people. In the current world (1 %, destruction of middle class and the works) your group, as the top group in the game is then perceived responsible for all that. All the…..rage….at the current paradigm goes against your group. What is that hard to understand about it I wonder? Your “smart” approach does not work here. The world here is crude, simple and hard. Nor erudite spinning works here.

    So….you have a problem. Your group, and then of course, implicitly you.

    You are also smart enough to understand that what protects you, really, is a collusion with Anglo-Saxon group. While your group controls “smarts” of the system, they control “tools” of it. The power of the state. Police…military…..guns….The things that, ultimately, really matter in the game of power. Nobody would give a shit about saying what he/she thinks about Jews if it weren’t for the power of the state. Don’t delude yourself for a second that control of finance, media, educational system and such gives you the power. The power you guys have comes, ultimately, as always, from the barrel of the gun. Currently it’s police, but people know if it really comes to that the military will step in too.

    So…either way you cut it, it appears that you pissed your main competitor and previous senior partner. So, yes, you do have a problem “out of it”.

    It may not be a good thing for Jews to be seen as loyal to "the State" or "the Crown" as opposed to being loyal to the nation, to the people.

And probably not the most guilty as well.

    Sorry for the delayed response, but it was Yom Kippur, which just got over.

    But, see, maybe the time for discussion is running out. Not here in “chat-sphere” but in real life. You guys ARE smart. So….maybe you should try to find a way out of all….that.
     
    I am not sure that we are any smarter than the rest of humanity, and no such claims are being made by Jews. I just got back to reading this blog post and thought I should respond to this entry of yours, since there is something meaningful to say here, as opposed to the rest. I confess nonetheless, I am not entirely sure what you mean by "try to find a way out of it all". If you mean an impending revolution with guillotines and the other paraphernalia destined for the elite, I should very much doubt it. The median American is getting on reasonably well, though not relative to the upper deciles; and the lower third are not suffering the conditions of the sans culottes viewed from the perch of the noblesse de l'Ancien Regime. If there is discontent, it is chiefly perceptible in the erstwhile lower ranges of the top twentieth percentile and the thirtieth percentile, i.e., your middle management and rank and file knowledge workers who find themselves increasing displaced by forces of technological change and policies which were undertaken decades earlier to offshore industrial production.

    This is reversible in theory, but as we know, theory never quite translates into practice. I am not even sure how one goes about such re-industrialisation. It would be an effort of massive scale and a fundamental change in the attitudes of the polity towards re-tooling education and training, perhaps mirroring the model of the German state today, or that of Korea. The American liberal arts college system, I fear, is primarily a holding pen for the semi-literate, scantily mathematical, herds of barely willing youth for whom work begins to resemble a chore. And they'd much rather collect a living stipend from the state [or Soros? Revo, Lucio, and Nario, the three brothers of Marxist lore are nowhere in sight!], a few Apple gadgets thrown in semi-annually for good measure, and you'd keep them from excessive mischief. Zuck's proposal in other words. We are rapidly moving in that direction in my reckoning.


    I agree, actually. But, see, the problem is, SOMEBODY has to be held responsible for the death of “social contract”. Of, essentially, death of “upward mobility”, “American dream”, any expression which describes that by obeying a law and decent work a person can make his/her life better. As I said before several times all this “Jew this/that” just……feels…..wrong. Just a feeling.
     
    The question is who is this SOMEBODY? I'd be the first to concede that financialisation of the economy, in which my fellow co-religionists play no small part, has become the most glaring departure from what used to be a more "wholesome" society according to some. Yet it was in the making whether America participated in that inevitability or not. The industrial world, post-WWII, consisting of W. Europe, Japan, and China [albeit to a lesser extent initially] was hardly going to decelerate its march forward had the US decision been to remain static. Financialisation today is little more than the logical end-result of fractional reserve banking: a vital necessity for a world in which the forces of technological advancement could simply not be met by a monetary regime stuck with a model where only current period savings finance the capacity produced by technology. Thus fractional reserve banking can be viewed as a rapid deployment strategy to harness future savings in order to promote current investments. Without those investments over the 1945-1990 period, the world would not be what it is today. Of this I am confident.

    Yet financialisation and the ensuing technological change unleashed inequality of income and wealth. Regulations, or rather the removal of certain important ones, also contributed to inequality. I do not see this changing. Trump today, is busy extending and enhancing this trend while pouring anodynes into the ears of the crowd [including your interlocutor] which voted him to power.

    Perhaps the only remedy is a more robust version of Zuckerberg's proposal, one which somehow manages to impart a sense of achievement amongst the population not particularly critical nor entirely redundant in growing the economic output. A virtual reality augmentation, if you will.

    For matters more in the context of nurturing our human condition, where the economic model is considered wanting, more of a hindrance than an aid, I am not your man. As a Jew, I am only capable of talking about simple things, not in the realm of philosophy, morality, or ethics. For that, there are better men here on this board.

    Permit me to make a small observation, Iffen. I am confident that any person uninitiated to the customs and themes on offer at UR, especially in PG's pieces, would arrive at a conclusion the contours of which I needn't leave to your imagination. This address, additionally, has the potential to delude the unmindful. There are some truths to be gleaned here, yet most of it rendered outre through vicious zeal and outright mendacity; and, as all conspiracies, entirely self-perpetuating in their outlandishness.

    Ethan's reaction is entirely normal. He is likely a new reader of this webzine, and his reaction is that of someone who has a good grip on reality. Speaking one's position does not make a poster a hasbarist. Indians are not merely motel owners but in fact the dominant group in Silicon Valley. Koreans, are not nail salonists; while not a group which has risen in easily visible political rank, they remain nevertheless, highly significant politically, in that S.Korea is a vital partner in American economic interests. Ditto Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and now, increasingly India. The US will not forfeit her interests in these groups any more than Russia will in her's. Nations only have interests, not drinking buddies.

    Iffen, apologies, but I'll use this space for a general message:
    General message to snivellers: Jews may be dominant in many areas of American life and business today. What of it? Are we required to assume a deliberately submissive back-seat because a fringe group would like us to? If so, they can think again. I invite the churlish mental midgets to unseat us from those positions both real and figments of their imaginations. Or, you can rant on the UR - a great deal easier, while Jews, Indians, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans, etc. eat your lunch :) . Hopping mad yet?

    BTW Jewish interests in the Anglosphere is never distinct from that of the sovereign, UR nuts notwithstanding. E.g. Jews in the U.K. are deeply aligned with the interests of the Crown, while in the U.S. they are far more diverse in attitudes, but always loyal to the State.

    My thought and sentiment for quite some time, definitely.

    Maybe you aren't smart enough for that.
    I, personally, know I am not.

    But, and this is really, IMHO, bottom line for all this online blathering; how come that nobody came up with it so far?
    THAT is the fundamental question, a big elephant in the room, nobody wants to talk about.

    All these Web sites, forums, hundreds of thousands posts, apparently huge effort.......and no result?

    If we take into account that for most posters on Internet that's just either entertainment, socializing and online therapy, still, there is at least 10 % of smart people who could produce something.

    But all we have is "that not good, this not good, look at that...look at this....and, of course, Jews this, Neocons that...blah..blah...blah..."

    Powers that be have tons of think tanks producing position papers, plans, platforms, the works. Serious work. Serious people.
    "Alternative".......just..........endless complaining really. Nothing of substance. No effective result. Irrelevant.
    Boils down to simple .......relief.
    And then back to real life. Ruled by the PTBs.

    So, the question is "why"?

    And a possible answer is: maybe we are all just losers in the game.
    For any reason imaginable.

    We lost and now we congregate together and have our online therapy.

    @Jus' Sayin'...
    One of the great triumphs of Zionism is its success at conflating Zionism with Judaism. In some sense Zionism is the antithesis of Judaism. Zionism is the suicidal ideology that seeks to replace the native inhabitants of Palestine with alien Jews. These Jews will then be surrounded by implacable enemies who will sooner or later wipe them out. Throughout their history, Jews have had a fatal attraction to this kind of zealotry. It's why Jews have a fascination with communism and it's what got the Jews booted out of Palestine, in the first place, nearly two thousand years ago.

    As even you admit, the “native inhabitants of Palestine” are in fact Jews. There is no such thing as a “Palestinian”.

    Anyway, the vast majority of American Jews voted for the anti-Iraq war candidate in 2008 over the “bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” candidate.

    Giraldi clearly has an emotionally based animus toward and obsession with Jews. Good for the American Conservative.

    The Jew capacity for lies is unbound. What a tribal cabal of thug guilt pushers. They say your relatives killed six million of them in WWII - so you must ignore their evil today. Of course the "six million" is a lie.

    Tell the truth about them and they will attack you - call you names - threaten your livelihood.

    Another fantastic article by Phil Weiss, who some would describe as a “self-loathing creature” for revealing the truth. While I’ve provided an excerpt of the first few paragraphs below, it’s worth reading the entire article:

    Three megadonors (who just happen to love Israel) are pushing Trump against Iran deal

    You’d think that in Year 15 of the Iraq debacle, neoconservative would be a dirty word in America; but neoconservatives are having a field day! Phil Giraldi’s article blaming American Jews for stoking the “war engine,” followed by Valerie Plame’s retweet of the article, has given neocons (adherents of a hawkish ideology that came out of the Jewish community) an opportunity to grandstand about the supposed anti-semitism of the antiwar community.

    Bret Stephens in the New York Times and Jamie Kirchick are using the occasion to paint all critics of the Israel lobby as anti-Semites. So is Israel lobbyist Omri Ceren.

    The righteous outbursts could not be coming at a worse time. Donald Trump seems to be leaning toward decertifying the Iran deal, and the Israel lobby is hard at work to make that happen. Trump is “clearly listening to the hawks on Iran, not the realists,” says Scott McConnell, in the National Interest, and he sees a financial angle in the policy-making.

    President Donald Trump’s latest denunciation of the Iran nuclear deal (also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA) at the United Nations was hardly a surprise. Indeed, attacking the agreement was a mainstay of Trump’s campaign rhetoric from the early days of his candidacy. But with an October 15 deadline looming for the White House to certify Iranian compliance with the deal, as the president must do every 90 days, there is growing speculation that he will not certify Iran’s compliance.

    Trump is considering this move despite the U.S. military’s assessment and International Atomic Energy Agency certifications that Iran is in compliance with the JCPOA. Also, decertification would decrease the likelihood of Iranian willingness to negotiate on the Trump administration’s stated areas of concern, including Iran’s ballistic missile program and Tehran’s support for Hezbollah, Bashar al-Assad, and the Houthis in Yemen.

    Trump is leaning in this direction to fulfill one of his campaign promises and tear up President Barack Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement.

    But a review of the statements and activities of some of Trump’s key donors also helps explain why he is considering reneging on the agreement. A small number of his biggest campaign and legal defense donors have made extreme comments about Iran and, in at least one case, advocated for the use of a nuclear weapon against the Islamic Republic.

    Bernard Marcus

    Take, for instance, Bernard Marcus, billionaire and Home Depot founder. He’s one of a handful of wealthy donors paying for legal costs incurred by Trump and Donald Trump Jr.’s attorneys as part of the probe into Russian election interference, via a Republican Party account. Marcus contributed $101,700, an amount matched by five other big donors.

    Marcus is also an outspoken critic of the Iran deal. In a 2015 Fox Business interview, he said, “when you do business with the devil you’re in deep trouble and I think that Iran is the devil.”. Marcus went on to insist that the JCPOA “is a treaty as far as I’m concerned,” which it is not, describing it as a “deadly, deadly treaty” that should have gotten a “full vote by the full Congress” and an “abrogation of the congress’s control.”

    And Marcus is happy to put his money to use in supporting groups that have opposed nuclear diplomacy with Iran. In 2015, his foundation contributed $1 million to the American Israel Education Foundation (AIPAC’s 501c3 wing), $3.5 million to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), $75,000 to Israel Emergency Alliance, $250,0000 to The Israel Project, $350,000 to the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), and $250,000 to the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), all groups which actively opposed the JCPOA.

    Sheldon Adelson

    Marcus isn’t the biggest donor opposing the Iran deal. Casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, alongside his wife Miriam, was Trump’s biggest single campaign supporter, sending $35 million to pro-Trump Super PAC Future 45.

    Earlier in the election cycle, Trump made clear that Adelson’s financial support came with strings attached. He mocked Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who was courting the Adelsons. In October 2015, Trump tweeted “Sheldon Adelson is looking to give big dollars to [Marco] Rubio because he feels he can mold him into the perfect little puppet. I agree!”

    Trump didn’t say why Adelson wanted to use Rubio, but in 2012 Newt Gingrich said that Adelson’s “central value” is unconditional support for Israel, specifically its right-wing Likud party and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (the two have reportedly experienced a falling out over the past three months).

    Adelson was treated as a guest of honor when the Israeli prime minister delivered a March 2015 speech before Congress to blast the Iran deal, a rare moment in which Netanyahu appeared to be dabbling in partisan politics and throwing into question the bipartisan support usually enjoyed by Israeli leaders on Capitol Hill.

    Adelson, like Marcus and Singer, has given generously to groups opposing the JCPOA, contributing at least $1.5 million to the FDD by the end of the group’s 2011 tax year. In 2015, his foundation contributed $400,000 to Christians United for Israel (CUFI), $50,000 to the David Horowitz Freedom Center, $100,000 to the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET), $7.45 million to the Israeli American Council, $250,000 to JINSA, $1.47 million to Shmuley Boteach’s The World Jewish Values Network, and $1 million to the ZOA, all groups that have opposed the JCPOA.

    And the Las Vegas-based billionaire makes no secret of what he considers a preferable approach toward the Islamic Republic, telling a Yeshiva University audience in 2013 that U.S. negotiators should launch a nuclear weapon at the Islamic Republic as a negotiating tactic.

    Paul Singer

    Although less outspoken than Marcus or Adelson and an early opponent of Trump’s candidacy, hedge-fund billionaire Paul Singer opened his wallet to Trump’s inaugural committee, contributing $1 million, while simultaneously funding a number of groups opposed to the Iran deal.

    Politico reported that Singer was included in a White House meeting of key donors in June.

    In 2015, Singer’s foundation made a number of contributions to groups opposed to the Iran deal, including, $2 million to the American Israel Education Foundation, $150,000 to the Israel Emergency Alliance, and $118,982 to JINSA. Singer, according to The Atlantic, was the primary donor to the Foreign Policy Initiative, a small neoconservative think tank with a hawkish foreign policy agenda, before withdrawing his funding last summer.

    A 2011 donor roll from the FDD showed that Singer had contributed at least $3.6 million to the group.

    Trump’s Turnabout

    Trump told the Republican Jewish Coalition, of which Adelson, Singer, and Marcus are all members, in a December 2015 meeting that:

    You’re not gonna support me because I don’t want your money. You want to control your politicians; that’s fine. …I do want your support, but I don’t want your money.

    But he promptly went back on his word when he accepted their support for his candidacy once he had secured the nomination.

    Marcus, Adelson, and Singer would not be the first political donors, as Trump readily admits, to seek a return on their investments.

    THAT is the fundamental question, a big elephant in the room, nobody wants to talk about.

    All these Web sites, forums, hundreds of thousands posts, apparently huge effort…….and no result?

    If we take into account that for most posters on Internet that’s just either entertainment, socializing and online therapy, still, there is at least 10 % of smart people who could produce something.

    But all we have is “that not good, this not good, look at that…look at this….and, of course, Jews this, Neocons that…blah..blah…blah…”

    Powers that be have tons of think tanks producing position papers, plans, platforms, the works. Serious work. Serious people.
    “Alternative”…….just……….endless complaining really. Nothing of substance. No effective result. Irrelevant.
    Boils down to simple …….relief.
    And then back to real life. Ruled by the PTBs.

    So, the question is “why”?

    And a possible answer is: maybe we are all just losers in the game.
    For any reason imaginable.

    As even you admit, the "native inhabitants of Palestine" are in fact Jews. There is no such thing as a "Palestinian".

    Anyway, the vast majority of American Jews voted for the anti-Iraq war candidate in 2008 over the "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" candidate.

    Giraldi clearly has an emotionally based animus toward and obsession with Jews. Good for the American Conservative.

    As even you admit, the “native inhabitants of Palestine” are in fact Jews. There is no such thing as a “Palestinian”.

    Another wet dream of the Jews. Millions of disappeared Palestinians.

    The Jew capacity for lies is unbound. What a tribal cabal of thug guilt pushers. They say your relatives killed six million of them in WWII – so you must ignore their evil today. Of course the “six million” is a lie.

    Tell the truth about them and they will attack you – call you names – threaten your livelihood.

    Clearly the Jews have an inferior thug culture.

    Get rid of the “christian-zionist” OXYMORON.
    The “rapture” Prophets for PROFIT are ANTI-Christ DEATH CULTISTS. God/Jesus put you in this LIFE to learn “soul lessons”, to increase your consciousness to the point of Redemption. Hagee and his Ilk REJECT the LIFE God gave you, and dangle a “shortcut” in front of people, just as SATAN dangled Temptation in front of Jesus. Do not follow the ANTI-Christ lies of FALSE prophets. There will be ONE Judgement Day, and NO ONE is going to “bypass” it by being “raptured”, that is a lie from Satan and his television IMPS. Their “shortcut” of cheating God’s lessons does NOT lead to Heaven, any more than cheating on school work teaches you the subject. Hagee, Robertson, the whole group, do NOT believe in anything except the MONEY they collect for leading their Flocks astray. From the Hagee church on down to Pat Robertson, it’s all ANTI-Christ. I don’t believe their savior would’ve approved of fat bank accounts & massive multi million dollar buildings. Christian institutions today represent the most perverse translation of Christianity

    http://www.jeff-goodall.com/?p=8955

    The problem, is the belief system of Christian Zionists. They believe that what Israel wants is what God wants. Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to give the green light to whatever it is Israel wants and then conceal this from the American people. Anything, including lies, theft, even murder, is justified as long as Israel wants it. Then why did JESUS suffer on the cross!?

    With more than 50 millions members, Christians United for Israel is a major politica force in the U.S.. Its Chairman, pastor John Haggee, declared: “The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God’s plan for both Israel and the West, [...] a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ”. Have you ever LOOKED at HAGEE — at best he is a glutton ….

    “rapture” is actually a vicarious form of SUICIDE. “rapture” is an extremely SELF-ABSORBED way of saying “I am SO perfect” and anyone I dislike will be LEFT BEHIND to suffer(feel bad because I am gone) but I will revel in heaven.
    One of the major problems America faces is a large population of religious fundamentalists who have become as fanatical in their own way as any Middle Eastern Ayatollah. At present, they are caught up in their own version of the myth of the end of the world, and hope that by working to bring it about, they’ll get to sit at the right hand of their diety and to hell with everyone else. No doubt fistfights will break out over who gets to sit closest, but that is a subject for another article.
    So fervent is the belief of the mythoholics that they are ready and willing to sacrifice money, children, civil rights, freedom, even life itself (so long as it is someone else’s) to bring about the final rapture and end of the world. Never mind that the story of the Rapture appears nowhere in the Bible, but was the invention of a Civil War veteran, Cyrus Scofield. Never mind that the present-day charlatan selling this belief might be a child molester and makes money off of these fables; the seekers (and there is one born every minute) do so want to believe!
    “The Incredible Scofield and His Book” written by Joseph M. Canfield, reveals the following:Cyrus Scofield is a small time politician and career criminal. In 1873, he is forced to resign his position as a District Attorney because of crooked financial transactions that include accepting bribes stealing political contributions, and securing bank notes by forging signatures. Scofield then serves jail time for forgery charges. A heavy drinker, Scofield later abandons his wife and two daughters. His wife finally divorces the drunken crook in 1883. As so many con-men do, Scofield will then claim to have “found Jesus”. He is ordained as a Minister and then claims to have a Doctor of Divinity degree, but this degree is never verified. After several mysterious trips to Europe and New York, Scofield publishes the notated reference Bible that bears his name. scofield’s wife divorced him when he went to prison for mortgage fraud. Scofield defrauded his mother in law out of her life savings and went to prison. supposedly he was “saved” in prison and wrote his Bible notes. His “Bible” sold hundreds of thousands of copies and made him a rich man. Scofield never repaid his mother in law for the money he stole from her and per his two daughters he never paid one penny of support to either one of them.The added side notes in Scofield’s Bible inject a very weird “End Times” prophecy into Christianity.

    There is truth in what you say, but it is not complete. Longer discussion required.
     
    Oh yes.... But, see, maybe the time for discussion is running out. Not here in "chat-sphere" but in real life. You guys ARE smart. So....maybe you should try to find a way out of all....that.

    BTW Jewish interests in the Anglosphere is never distinct from that of the sovereign, UR nuts notwithstanding. E.g. Jews in the U.K. are deeply aligned with the interests of the Crown, while in the U.S. they are far more diverse in attitudes, but always loyal to the State.
     
    I agree, actually. But, see, the problem is, SOMEBODY has to be held responsible for the death of "social contract". Of, essentially, death of "upward mobility", "American dream", any expression which describes that by obeying a law and decent work a person can make his/her life better. As I sad before several times all this "Jew this/that" just......feels.....wrong. Just a feeling.

    Like blaming a junior partner, or Finance Director, for not delivering profit to small shareholders as promised. Not blaming the game (small shareholders) and taking responsibility (senior partner, Board of Directors). THAT is something of interest, maybe.

    Feels as.....scapegoating........a junior partner/Finance Director.

    Seen before.

    The king and his Jewish "money guy" fleeced the kingdom. King stupid, Jewish "money guy", well, didn't have much of a choice to start with. And when the kingdom got pissed of, voila...it's not the King, or nobles...it's that filthy Jewish "money guy". I mean, the "money guy" was definitely guilty party for sure. But not the only one. And probably not the most guilty as well.

    All this recently just......feels...........that way.

    Sorry for the delayed response, but it was Yom Kippur, which just got over.

    But, see, maybe the time for discussion is running out. Not here in “chat-sphere” but in real life. You guys ARE smart. So….maybe you should try to find a way out of all….that.

    I am not sure that we are any smarter than the rest of humanity, and no such claims are being made by Jews. I just got back to reading this blog post and thought I should respond to this entry of yours, since there is something meaningful to say here, as opposed to the rest. I confess nonetheless, I am not entirely sure what you mean by “try to find a way out of it all”. If you mean an impending revolution with guillotines and the other paraphernalia destined for the elite, I should very much doubt it. The median American is getting on reasonably well, though not relative to the upper deciles; and the lower third are not suffering the conditions of the sans culottes viewed from the perch of the noblesse de l’Ancien Regime. If there is discontent, it is chiefly perceptible in the erstwhile lower ranges of the top twentieth percentile and the thirtieth percentile, i.e., your middle management and rank and file knowledge workers who find themselves increasing displaced by forces of technological change and policies which were undertaken decades earlier to offshore industrial production.

    This is reversible in theory, but as we know, theory never quite translates into practice. I am not even sure how one goes about such re-industrialisation. It would be an effort of massive scale and a fundamental change in the attitudes of the polity towards re-tooling education and training, perhaps mirroring the model of the German state today, or that of Korea. The American liberal arts college system, I fear, is primarily a holding pen for the semi-literate, scantily mathematical, herds of barely willing youth for whom work begins to resemble a chore. And they’d much rather collect a living stipend from the state [or Soros? Revo, Lucio, and Nario, the three brothers of Marxist lore are nowhere in sight!], a few Apple gadgets thrown in semi-annually for good measure, and you’d keep them from excessive mischief. Zuck’s proposal in other words. We are rapidly moving in that direction in my reckoning.

    I agree, actually. But, see, the problem is, SOMEBODY has to be held responsible for the death of “social contract”. Of, essentially, death of “upward mobility”, “American dream”, any expression which describes that by obeying a law and decent work a person can make his/her life better. As I said before several times all this “Jew this/that” just……feels…..wrong. Just a feeling.

    The question is who is this SOMEBODY? I’d be the first to concede that financialisation of the economy, in which my fellow co-religionists play no small part, has become the most glaring departure from what used to be a more “wholesome” society according to some. Yet it was in the making whether America participated in that inevitability or not. The industrial world, post-WWII, consisting of W. Europe, Japan, and China [albeit to a lesser extent initially] was hardly going to decelerate its march forward had the US decision been to remain static. Financialisation today is little more than the logical end-result of fractional reserve banking: a vital necessity for a world in which the forces of technological advancement could simply not be met by a monetary regime stuck with a model where only current period savings finance the capacity produced by technology. Thus fractional reserve banking can be viewed as a rapid deployment strategy to harness future savings in order to promote current investments. Without those investments over the 1945-1990 period, the world would not be what it is today. Of this I am confident.

    Yet financialisation and the ensuing technological change unleashed inequality of income and wealth. Regulations, or rather the removal of certain important ones, also contributed to inequality. I do not see this changing. Trump today, is busy extending and enhancing this trend while pouring anodynes into the ears of the crowd [including your interlocutor] which voted him to power.

    Perhaps the only remedy is a more robust version of Zuckerberg’s proposal, one which somehow manages to impart a sense of achievement amongst the population not particularly critical nor entirely redundant in growing the economic output. A virtual reality augmentation, if you will.

    For matters more in the context of nurturing our human condition, where the economic model is considered wanting, more of a hindrance than an aid, I am not your man. As a Jew, I am only capable of talking about simple things, not in the realm of philosophy, morality, or ethics. For that, there are better men here on this board.

    Well….I was thinking along the lines of you Jews, being smart and all that, could try to find a solution to REAL problems of this world. I mean, somebody should.

    It’s more than those I am afraid.
    Its lower strata of society, from lower middle class downwards.
    So, if we put all those together, it’s a sizeable chunk of society getting unhappy.
    I believe that social upheavals start when middle class (all layers of it) starts getting pissed off. And humans, being what they are, do like finding human target to unload all that rage on. And, as things look now, your people started appearing more and more as that target.

    I am not even sure how one goes about such re-industrialisation.

    Me neither.
    And after all these years chatting on Internet haven’t found any feasible option. Hence, maybe there is none. I don’t know.
    But what I do know is rage. Seen it…was part of it, worked with it…..and wasn’t pretty. Seen movie “Forbidden Planet”? Demon from Id?
    When a mass of people get into that state you either try to move them down with automatic weapon until even spare barrels melt, or you run away (O.K, with Gatling systems it is easier, I concede). There is no reasoning with IT.
    Maybe Americans can’t get there. Maybe they can.

    The question is who is this SOMEBODY? I’d be the first to concede that financialisation of the economy, in which my fellow co-religionists play no small part, has become the most glaring departure from what used to be a more “wholesome” society according to some.

    That’s it.
    Your people….money masters. That’s the growing perception. And that perception is all what matters.
    I HATE getting personal on Internet sites. You strike me as an “intellectual” type. A type who knows about dark sides of human nature through studying it. Books, intellectual approach. But you’ve never dealt with it face to face. You should try sometime.
    You try for a couple of seconds and then you see…feel it. And from then on it’s either you cut them down or they stomp you head into pulp. You of all people should know that.
    Do not ever overestimate a hindbrain of an average person frustrated by perceived failure in his/her life.

    Thus fractional reserve banking can be viewed as a rapid deployment strategy to harness future savings in order to promote current investments. Without those investments over the 1945-1990 period, the world would not be what it is today. Of this I am confident.

    Hehe…see…you are a smart guy.
    I don’t know much about that topic. Or, better, more I read about it more I got confused. What I do know, though, is problem solving, planning…execution. The method.
    That’s why I see all this Internet blathering just that……blathering with occasional connect with somebody you can learn a bit here and there.
    I’ve never seen, so far, the method in works there.
    Say, a world wide alt-right/whatever panel of top intellectuals discussing the issue, producing an action plan, marketing it to people (Internet) and then, forcing powers that be to do something. Having plan for that “forcing” as well.

    I do not see this changing.

    Me neither if it goes this way. But, then, everyday “little” Jews will feel the fallout. I am sure of it.

    For matters more in the context of nurturing our human condition, where the economic model is considered wanting, more of a hindrance than an aid, I am not your man. As a Jew, I am only capable of talking about simple things, not in the realm of philosophy, morality, or ethics. For that, there are better men here on this board.

    Probably. Hopefully. Not only on this board but anywhere.
    They are good at keeping silent and ineffective for the moment, though. Very good indeed.

If there is discontent, it is chiefly perceptible in the erstwhile lower ranges of the top twentieth percentile and the thirtieth percentile, i.e., your middle management and rank and file knowledge workers who find themselves increasing displaced by forces of technological change and policies which were undertaken decades earlier to offshore industrial production.
     
    It’s more than those I am afraid.
    Its lower strata of society, from lower middle class downwards.
    So, if we put all those together, it’s a sizeable chunk of society getting unhappy.
    I believe that social upheavals start when middle class (all layers of it) starts getting pissed off. And humans, being what they are, do like finding human target to unload all that rage on. And, as things look now, your people started appearing more and more as that target.

    I am not even sure how one goes about such re-industrialisation.
     
    Me neither.
    And after all these years chatting on Internet haven’t found any feasible option. Hence, maybe there is none. I don’t know.
    But what I do know is rage. Seen it…was part of it, worked with it…..and wasn’t pretty. Seen movie “Forbidden Planet”? Demon from Id?
    When a mass of people get into that state you either try to move them down with automatic weapon until even spare barrels melt, or you run away (O.K, with Gatling systems it is easier, I concede). There is no reasoning with IT.
    Maybe Americans can’t get there. Maybe they can.

    The question is who is this SOMEBODY? I’d be the first to concede that financialisation of the economy, in which my fellow co-religionists play no small part, has become the most glaring departure from what used to be a more “wholesome” society according to some.
     
    That’s it.
    Your people….money masters. That’s the growing perception. And that perception is all what matters.
    I HATE getting personal on Internet sites. You strike me as an “intellectual” type. A type who knows about dark sides of human nature through studying it. Books, intellectual approach. But you’ve never dealt with it face to face. You should try sometime.
    You try for a couple of seconds and then you see…feel it. And from then on it’s either you cut them down or they stomp you head into pulp. You of all people should know that.
    Do not ever overestimate a hindbrain of an average person frustrated by perceived failure in his/her life.

    Thus fractional reserve banking can be viewed as a rapid deployment strategy to harness future savings in order to promote current investments. Without those investments over the 1945-1990 period, the world would not be what it is today. Of this I am confident.
     
    Hehe…see…you are a smart guy.
    I don’t know much about that topic. Or, better, more I read about it more I got confused. What I do know, though, is problem solving, planning…execution. The method.
    That’s why I see all this Internet blathering just that……blathering with occasional connect with somebody you can learn a bit here and there.
    I’ve never seen, so far, the method in works there.
    Say, a world wide alt-right/whatever panel of top intellectuals discussing the issue, producing an action plan, marketing it to people (Internet) and then, forcing powers that be to do something. Having plan for that “forcing” as well.

    I do not see this changing.
     
    Me neither if it goes this way. But, then, everyday “little” Jews will feel the fallout. I am sure of it.

    For matters more in the context of nurturing our human condition, where the economic model is considered wanting, more of a hindrance than an aid, I am not your man. As a Jew, I am only capable of talking about simple things, not in the realm of philosophy, morality, or ethics. For that, there are better men here on this board.
     
    Probably. Hopefully. Not only on this board but anywhere.
    They are good at keeping silent and ineffective for the moment, though. Very good indeed.

    Agree, in principle.

    There are real and mounting problems in West.
    It feels as powers that be aren't keen on addressing those problems.
    When I said problems, I meant "problems for lower 60 % of society". Higher you go those problems stop being problems and start becoming opportunities and even benefits.

    So, you have rising resentment of the current state by those 60 %.
    You have to address it....MANAGE it......not change....manage. Keep the system going, of course, because ti benefits you, but you do have to manage that resentment.

    First it come breads and circuses...a bit of carrot.
    Then a bit of stick (surveillance and police state).

    Then you sacrifice a pawn; one of your own.

    This is not the first op-ed in which Giraldi has asked uncomfortable questions of America’s Power Jews.

    But from the moment I began noticing multiple “screen captures” of Valerie Plame’s tweet, whose sole purpose was to seal off her one means of escape (ie, deleting the tweet), you knew America’s Power Jews were out to bag a few scalps on this one. Resulting, sadly, in another instance of Conservatism, Inc stepping on its own dick while grinning painfully for the photo-op (that neither Jew nor Greek will bother to believe, or accept, in the first place).

    It’s kind of unfortunate that APJs feign distaste at that gravy-sweating pantload John Podhoretz, who always comes in so handy on these yarmulke’d witch-hunts. Ever since he publicly twisted St Martin’s Press’s arm nearly out of its socket to violate their contracts with David Irving, back in the mid-90s, with dark threats of isolation and demonization – to say nothing of the subsequent demonetization sure to follow – all the snootier members of the tribe were handed the template for How To Do It, which they made sure to quietly Xerox for both study and safekeeping. Well – as long as they’re going to benefit from his tactics, they might as well be openly grateful to the greasy fat thug.

    This is what I'd suggest (it's easy to ask questions; suggesting answers is where the real work is).
    BTW, once upon a time when I was in position of some power, my subordinates wouldn't ask a question unless they'd be able to suggest a possible answer. Now, of course, there are no superiors/subordinates on Internet, but the same rule could apply. Of course it will not.

    So, I'd suggest:
    "You got into this position by promising certain things to people who put you here.
    Going/not going to wars was ONE of those promises.
    We both know that the most important thing you have to do is deliver MEANINGFUL JOBS to people.
    Now, we both BELIEVE also that our economy and overall way of life as it is depends on imperial wars. Maybe it isn't.
    I'd suggest creating a committee/panel/team to see is that true or not. The members should be picked up from within your power base. One month to deliver their position paper.
    If....if..they conclude that imperial wars are necessary to create meaningful jobs to people who elected you, we have a problem.

    Yes, I think that is precisely the "problem" the US faces, and has been facing for some years. Its hemming and hawing over that decision is to be seen in its chaotic policy statements and decisions. It's been prevaricating around the bush for a decade.

    If the decision to go to war is made, you must simultaneously examine and prepare for an even bigger potential problem. What happens if you lose those wars? No jobs, no Empire, social/political/economic/financial chaos at home, and all the other features of a crash 'n burn. March 2003 was a different world, and Imperial Wars at this stage of the game are going to be a close run thing. It would be damnably incompetent of you to leave the aftermath of failure to the vagaries of collapse.
    Better start building lots more FEMA camps, and prepare to activate all those dormant clauses in the Patriot Act (inter alia) that allow the fully totalitarian state that alone stands a chance of handling the situation to stand up, should the US' competitors better them in the field. After all, that's why those clauses were placed there.

    I do not support isolating the Jews (or any ethnic group) in American politics.

    To go off the JQ topic, I hope that there is a chance that Trumpism will split the Republican Party and the resulting populist/nationalist/freedom loving part will give America a shot at surviving.

    Military: Universal draft by lottery, no exemptions, additional draft as needed by occupation and ability.

    Education: Voucher for pre-K through year 14 for each child. No financial support for students past year 14 except for proven intellectual heft (strict cut-off using ACT type tests; zero AA).

    Economy: Immediate and total immigration hiatus (except for Einsteins and beauty queens). Immediate hiatus in expanded “free trade” with appropriate roll-back in crucial industries and sectors. Restricted universal basic income for every citizen.

  1260. Those who railed at Giraldi and at Plame-Wilson claiming they were spouting anti Semitic tropes have obviously missed this mini-clip of a longer article…see if this galls as much…and then I’ll tell you who wrote it and where…

    “White Man’s Burden: Written in MARCH 2003…
    “The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who were pushing President Bush to change the course of history. Two of them, journalists William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer, say it’s possible. But another journalist, Thomas Friedman (not part of the group), was skeptical…………………and:
    “In the course of the past year, a new belief has emerged in the town: the belief in war against Iraq. That ardent faith was disseminated by a small group of 25 or 30 neoconservatives, almost all of them Jewish, almost all of them intellectuals (a partial list: Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, William Kristol, Eliot Abrams, Charles Krauthammer), people who are mutual friends and cultivate one another and are convinced that political ideas are a major driving force of history. They believe that the right political idea entails a fusion of morality and FORCE, human rights and grit.
    The philosophical underpinnings of the Washington Neoconservatives are the writings of Machiavelli, Hobbes and Edmund Burke. They also admire Winston Churchill and the policy pursued by Ronald Reagan. They tend to read reality in terms of the failure of the 1930s (Munich) versus the success of the 1980s (the fall of the Berlin Wall).

    This older article is longer but I think the above snippets are enough to confirm that any who agree with such information must have been reading Ari Shavet on Haaretz….he was quite right..and so was Giraldi. Facts are facts.

    Now, we both BELIEVE also that our economy and overall way of life as it is depends on imperial wars. Maybe it isn't.
    I'd suggest creating a committee/panel/team to see is that true or not. The members should be picked up from within your power base. One month to deliver their position paper.
    If....if..they conclude that imperial wars are necessary to create meaningful jobs to people who elected you, we have a problem.
    A big problem."

    Have you, by any chance, any possible suggestions if not answers?

    You make it hard for me; so many problems so little ability.

    I do not support isolating the Jews (or any ethnic group) in American politics.

    To go off the JQ topic, I hope that there is a chance that Trumpism will split the Republican Party and the resulting populist/nationalist/freedom loving part will give America a shot at surviving.

    Military: Universal draft by lottery, no exemptions, additional draft as needed by occupation and ability.

    Education: Voucher for pre-K through year 14 for each child. No financial support for students past year 14 except for proven intellectual heft (strict cut-off using ACT type tests; zero AA).

    Economy: Immediate and total immigration hiatus (except for Einsteins and beauty queens). Immediate hiatus in expanded “free trade” with appropriate roll-back in crucial industries and sectors. Restricted universal basic income for every citizen.

    Well…it’s not me, it’s the world we live in.
    But, that sentence is the crux of it. Realizing own ability. Self-assessment, introspection. The hardest part today. Because, we are all…special….unique….we deserve the best….we, if given opportunity can be kings. Whites in particular.

    Well…no.

    Most of us aren’t very smart, don’t have high talents, lack hard self-discipline…etc…etc….
    But…..the problem can be solved or not.
    If it can be solved and I can’t do it…well…somebody probably can.

    My personal belief (based on a bit of experience) is that pooling resources from similar minded folks can solve any practical political problem.

    So…in this case, say, if I were that adviser to the President, I’d reach, over Internet, fuck, over this (and some other, of course) Websites and ask ….”who feels capable to start addressing THIS/THAT problem? Send your resume with cover letter to this email address.”
    Then, I’d choose several persons who appear much, much smarter than I am and make a team.
    Give them a task and time frame.
    Replace some in instant if feeling not delivering. Blah…blah….Basic crisis management.

    That is something I was, after November Miracle, expecting from the “Team Trump”. Because……I’ve seen this done, on lower levels of course, somewhere else.
    You’d be surprised by amount of talent and capability that exists around. Those people just need an opportunity.

    And, yes, for sure, wouldn’t mind some Jews on that team for sure. Groves didn’t mind Oppenheimer, Szilard, Peierls, Berthe and the rest.

    From then on it’s simple.
    I do not support isolating the Jews (or any ethnic group) in American politics.

    To go off the JQ topic, I hope that there is a chance that Trumpism will split the Republican Party and the resulting populist/nationalist/freedom loving part will give America a shot at surviving.

    Education: Voucher for pre-K through year 14 for each child. No financial support for students past year 14 except for proven intellectual heft (strict cut-off using ACT type tests; zero AA).

    Agree, of course. At least as a starting point of the, say, “The Improvement Project”/whatever.
    Especially “the resulting populist/nationalist/freedom loving part”. There was a huge positive energy after November. A REAL populist would’ve used it. Should’ve used it. He/they didn’t.
    Why he/they didn’t I do not know.
    It would be….prudent….to know that “why”.
    Next time (if it happens) they must.

    Now, for this one:

    Economy: Immediate and total immigration hiatus (except for Einsteins and beauty queens). Immediate hiatus in expanded “free trade” with appropriate roll-back in crucial industries and sectors. Restricted universal basic income for every citizen.

    could be a starting point for the real work. Everything is based on economy.
    How would that work, I, personally, have no idea.
    Financial system evaluation and possible change would the the most important.
    Maybe before that realizing the future of work in increased automation.
    And based on that the idea of “restricted universal income”. Etc.
    The……….real……work………….
    And, yes, Jews, Mongols, Aborigines, X-file aliens ….anyone is welcome in the team if capable and willing to contribute.

    Or….all that is just bullshit.
    Just get rid of Jews and all will be fine.

    Much easier.
    No headache.

    Unfortunately, I think the mistake that Mr. Giraldi makes is in calling for open identification of hawkish Jewish talking-heads. Because of the nature of Jewish power this just won’t work.

    The way to confront the problems he correctly identifies in his article is to adopt what one might call Jewish methods. These methods would necessarily be unofficial, relatively unbureaucratic, somewhat grassroots and out of the public eye.

    The gentiles might consider making a list, and simply making it available online. Of course, it would have to be ensured that the person belling the cat is not motivated by hate. No David Dukes or Brian Ruhes thank you very much.

    But sadly, I do not trust that such a person could be found. So the only way forward with which the goyim are left, which I honestly think works just fine, is to seek out those for whom “The Jews” are an idee fixe (David Duke, Brian Ruhe, Brother Nathanael, and while not motivated by hate, Mr Giraldi), read them, and determine the validity of what they say.

    So in the final analysis, I guess all that I’m advocating is reading widely.

  1271. Philip, an excellent article with which you hit the nail right on the head. The fact that TAC fired you over the phone by simply stating that the article was unacceptable, without giving proper reasons, is in fact a compliment, if I may say so, because it is an endorsement of everything you stated.

    I hope you will find the energy and motivation to keep up the good work, calling a spade a spade, esp. in this case, and I sincerely hope the harassment will be bearable. I wish you lots of luck, success, and some result in a very corrupt US government that is in Israel’s stranglehold.

    The problem with the phrase “The Jews” is that as a group Jews are so diverse and different, that one cannot properly speak about The Jews. When Zionist do so, they are wrong and should be called out. They have no right to speak for all “the” Jews. Since Zionists should not do so, neither should non-Jews or non Zionists. This is bound to lead to misunderstandings. Rather than speak of “The Jews” why not “some Jews” or “Zionist Jews”? Or Jewish Groups or “wealthy Jews”. But not The Jews. At least that is what it seems to me. That said, there is no question that deep pocketed Zionist Jews are absolutely obnoxious in their arrogance and deceitfulness.

    Having fled Iraq and northern Syria, several top commanders of terror group now in Golan Heights enclave, recruiting and running propaganda effort, says Israel’s Channel 2″ https://www.timesofisrael.com/tv-report-islamic-state-chiefs-gather-near-israel-border-set-up-training-camp/

    2 Several senior commanders from Islamic State who recently fled from Iraq and northern Syria are now based in southern Syria, just across the Golan Heights border with Israel, and are training hundreds of new recruits there, an Israeli television report said.

    Israel’s Channel 2 said the commanders have made their way to an Islamic State-controlled enclave “close to the border” with Israel. They have set up a training camp to which they have recruited 300 local youths, said the report, which showed footage apparently of the camp and training sessions.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/tv-report-islamic-state-chiefs-gather-near-israel-border-set-up-training-camp/

    Co-Authors Reflect Ten years After Publishing Controversial Book,
    'The Israel Lobby'

    https://www.wbez.org/shows/worldview-podcast/coauthors-reflect-ten-years-after-publishing-controversial-book-the-israel-lobby/912a4c83-8144-442e-99b2-93e6156f39f4

    "The 2007 book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy argued that a loose coalition of interests, which supports Israel, lobbies the U.S. government to skew U.S. foreign policy to Israel’s favor. The authors also assert this reality damages, both America’s and Israel’s, long-term interests. “The Israel Lobby” ignited a firestorm of debate. Critics accused the authors of giving voice to historic anti-Semitic slurs. Supporters hailed the book as opening a door to needed dialogue on a taboo subject.



    Ten years later, the book’s co-authors, John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, join Worldview to discuss the changes in Middle East dialogue in the decade since they wrote the book. Mearsheimer is professor of political science at the University of Chicago and authored numerous books including, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics. Walt is a professor of International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He also authored the book, Taming American Power: The Global Response to U.S. Primacy."

    CBS ’60 Minutes’ Executive Producer Jewish Jeff Fager tweets about ‘Russian influence’ but refused to have ’60 Minutes’ do a segment about the Mearsheimer/Walt book:

    The Transparent Cabal: The Neoconservative Agenda, War in the Middle East, and the National Interest of Israel

    Although it is generally understood that American neoconservatives pushed hard for the war in Iraq, this book forcefully argues that the neocons' goal was not the spread of democracy, but the protection of Israel's interests in the Middle East. Showing that the neocon movement has always identified closely with the interests of Israel's Likudnik right wing, the discussion contends that neocon advice on Iraq was the exact opposite of conventional United States foreign policy, which has always sought to maintain stability in the region to promote the flow of oil. Various players in the rush to war are assessed according to their motives, including President Bush, Ariel Sharon, members of the foreign-policy establishment, and the American people, who are seen not as having been dragged into war against their will, but as ready after 9/11 for retaliation.

    When people exclaim how they want to “kill all the Arabs”, how is that not anti-semitic? Do you folks even know what a semite is? It’s an ARABIC person, not some European person who has hijacked a religion from middle easterners. Best to watch some speeches by Rabbi David Weiss of NYC.

    So I prefer to refer to them as Zionists rather than ‘jews’ as I do not want to smear a whole religion for what some who run a bad government do.
