The U.S. is about to manipulated into another war in the Middle East that threatens to destroy the Ameican Empire, just as wars in the Middle East destroyed the Roman Empire.
Don Lemmon was bushwhacked and entrapped so CNN could feature Trump without any pushback. CNN is the most racist media outside of the Times, Post, and Fox. Everyday I feel more alienated by/from the US.
You may be on to something. I add based on my own independent and critical speculation that the deal was to fire him (which I DON’T CARE WHETHER THEY DID OR NOT) and use him as their scapegoat, AND Trump would agree to do the interview, with CNN hoping to increase its viewers with Trumps’ supporters, who had stopped watching CNN years before Trump hit the scene but not enough to affect the rating like it has since Trump created his MAGA. So, Lemon was the sacrificial-racial lamb on the altar of a delusionary sacrifice, replaced by the European-American woman, and she agreed to the firing and replacing him because they are working in an industry made up of grin-in-your-faces and smiling-faces-tell-lies type of cut-throats-from-behind-and-from-the-front while the victims are and/or ain’t looking them straight in the eyes (like they accused OJ Simpson of doing to his ex-wife and Goldman).
Then, and only then, Trump agreed because he knew he could handle what he loves to grab, and he probably was thinking he could grab it during the interview, with his “nasty” mind, which is one of the first things he called her, which also is what he always call women, referring to their vaginas and their many biological mechanisms and functions that he thinks are not biological but just “nasty,” and he knew that he probably would not have been able to call Lemon that word “nasty,” unless he had listened to Jacke Jackson’s “Nasty,” then he could have sang
Sittin’ in the movie show Thinkin’ nasty thoughts Better be a gentleman or you’ll turn me off That’s right, lemme tell it
Nasty, nasty boys, don’t mean a thing Oh, you nasty boys Nasty, nasty boys, don’t ever change, huh Oh, you nasty boys
I don’t like no nasty girl I don’t like nasty food, oh yeah The only nasty thing I like is a nasty groove Will this one do? Uh huh, I know… say…
Nasty, nasty boys, don’t mean a thing Oh, you nasty boys Nasty, nasty boys, don’t ever change
Oh, you nasty boys Nasty, nasty boys, gimme a nasty groove Oh, you nasty boys Nasty, nasty boys, lemme see your nasty body move Oh, you nasty boys
I could learn to like this, listen up… I’m not a prude, I just want some respect So close the door if you want me to respond ‘Cause privacy is my middle name My last name is control No, my first name ain’t baby It’s DONALD… PRESIDENT TRUMP, if you’re nasty
Nasty, nasty boys, don’t mean a thing Oh, you nasty boys Nasty, nasty boys, don’t ever change
Oh, you nasty boys Nasty boys don’t mean a thing Oh, you nasty boys don’t mean a thing to me Nasty… don’t mean a thing Oh, you nasty boys (I like this part) Hey! Who’s that thinkin’ nasty thoughts? Nasty boys! Who’s that in that nasty car? Nasty boys! Who’s that eatin’ that nasty fruit? Nasty boys! Who’s jammin’ to my nasty groove? Nasty boys! Ladies? Nasty boys don’t mean a thing Oh, you nasty boys
Even if Trump don’t know the words to that song, his ol’ buddy in crime, Don King, probably would have told him to call Lemon “a funky ass little nigger,” and he would probably have done so but for the fact that not only is Lemon gone but so is Don King, who thought he had a chance in hell to get a position in the White House with Trump, but he was in for a rude awakening and the thought was gotten rid of early — very early — by that Jew hater and racist the Jew Stephen Miller, and we ain’t heard a peep or a squeak out of Don King since.

Interesting in spades. The plot is so interesting at the tale end of capitalism, trumpism, and the verge of WWIII. But these white folks have been in this mode from 1619 and that is why they are afraid of CRT. Sounds cooky, but the truth is always that. Whatever the outcome, I prefer Trump to DeSantis because the latter has a brain and Trump has his narcissism and has to hire political assassins to do his dirty work. Fox is hiring out as DeSantis to replace Trump and CNN knows this. But remember this is how Hitler operated through Goebbels and the other Nazi hirelings. Trump already laid the ground for the Fascism that has taken on the States. Iowa is the perfect example with its dumbing down of education by resegregating the public schools including the universities. And now allowing the youth to work the hours of an independent adult while they attend high school. This is why China will eventually outfox the West. Whiteness will no longer be the rightness of the world.

Sometimes, I imagine I can see the ghost of Fannie Lou Hamer, especially when I’m imagining that I am on a hologram meditating while I walk deep, deep in the swamp of birth, life, and death surrounded by alligators and poisonous water moccasin snakes with a few black mambos from South Africa and some spectacled cobras from India standing on their tails as well as the creature from the deep lagoon, all surrounding me, threatening to kill and/or eat me and destroy my hologram, destroy my subconscious self, destroy my me as I walk passively in tranquility through the funky swamp that smells of dead bodies, all the while I am imagining that I am in deep thought, an embedded meditation. Then, Fannie Lou Hamer would appear out of nowhere, walking just as calmly aside me stride for stride, and suddenly, in a plaintive wail, she would say, “IS THIS AMERICA, HOME OF THE FREE, LAND OF THE BRAVE? I often turn and say, “You doggone right, Mrs. Hamer, it’s America made great again, the biggest and greatest circus the world has ever seen since the days of Barnum and Bailey, loaded with clowns and buffoons and elephants and donkeys and monkeys and lions and dog and pony and horse shows and magic of all sorts.” And she would stop, and I would stop, and all the existential animal and monster threats surrounding us in the funky swamp would stop as well, as the dead bodies in the swamp water would stop flowing on the surface as Fannie Lou Hamer would look me in my eyes and say, “Peace be still, go vote.”

Fanny got the right idea. I read in Faces At The Bottom of the Well an old lady told the author: “I lives to harass white folks.” And Black folks voting harasses them the most. If the vote was not worth gold, then they would be sprinkling it on you like religion. My thing is waiting for WWIII because to lose face will harass them more than anything. Something greater than life for me.

No Justice; No Peace! Is apropos of 2020 circumstance.
Defunding the police and dismantling the police are not the same thing. Defunding police departments means to take away the, ancillary duties such as social work. Cutting down on the duties of the police will help relieve stress placed upon individual police-persons and departments themselves.
President Trump believes that Black Lives Matter and other demonstrators—(ANTIFA and Occupy) are at war with the police, not vice-versa. Trump visions himself as a Strong Man envies police power. He hired retired US generals until they “spoke truth to power,” then were fired or resigned.
Americans preoccupation with the present and the future, disregards the past. The majority don’t understanding that the past shapes the future. Trump is historical–the pantheon of Strong Men influence his behavior. The Strong Man Trump is presently mimicking is Joseph Stalin, the most successful leader of the 20st Century. What is most peculiar is no media/pundit on the Left has pointed out resemblance between Trump and Stalin. Americans hear capitalistic criticism of Stalin as a communist, not as a leader, they’re blinded to being subjugated as the people of the Soviet Union were.
Trump amazed the world by being elected and not using the soft power that allowed the US to maintain its position of One, falling to One of Many by opening up two simultaneous world plagues: Sanctions and COVID-19 eating away the peace and security in the world.
Vice President Pence, visiting Iowa a second time, believes God destines him President (The Atlantic January/February 2018 https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/01/gods-plan-for-mike-pence/546569/) meets with White-Christian-Evangelists Okaying in-person church meeting ignoring Jesus’s admonition: “Do not put the Lord your God to the test” (Matthew 4:7).
Under COVID-19 as a member of the Trump administration he can afford to ignore Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is a member of VP Pence’s own Presidential Health Commission and the nation’s top expert of infection diseases, warning to avoid reopening the country too soon could lead to serious consequences.
Democrats are accused of being too secular, thus allowing President Trump, Vice President Pence, and his White-Protestant-Evangelical base to hijack Christianity. As I write this opinion, I understand that only Black and other peoples-of-color will fully comprehend my points because we survive in the world by faith and Spirit. And if all else fails, riots. Others have the power and security of Whiteness, except Autumn Steele’s family (https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2019/02/22/iowa-open-recor).
As I write, I am haunted by Matthew 4:7 (testing God); Numbers 12 (racism); Revelation 13 (Sanctions); Zechariah 2:8 (God’s eyeball); Jonah 3 (God’s forgiveness); Acts 2:45 (biblical-socialism); Acts 9:18 (recovering insight). If Democrats would read these passages, then they would have the political ammunition to fight Trump machine propaganda and win in November.
Trump refuses to condemn/criticize police for their racist treatment of Blacks even though riots-uprising threaten to bring his government down, like Miriam and Aaron at Numbers 12, he refuses to acknowledge the racism fueling the the demonstrations, not only in the US but worldwide under the rubric of George Floyd.
If the Democrats use their heads for more than a hat-rack and put away their rabid secularism and study the Bible, which the White-Christian-Evangelists claim is The-Word-Of-God, perhaps we Christianized Democrats can be on a winning tract.
COVID-19, Revelation 13, and Zechariah 2:8 are closely related in cause and affect and effect. All of Trump’s wicked behavior did not attract God’s wrath until he put Sanctions and tariffs on the world’s population. This seems to be the equivalent of putting his finger in God’s eye. When this occurred, God sent a plague on the world because its inhabitants had thought Trump untouchable. Jonah 3 demonstrates that God’s mind can be changed. And Acts 9:18 demonstrates that the scales can fall from the eyes of scientist seeking a vaccine. Acts 2:45 will challenge the rabid laissez-faire capitalism installed by the Trump administration.
Studying an opponent and undercutting his/her rhetoric is how you win hearts-and-minds as well as votes in American politics.
NPR’s David Greene talks to David Rennie, Beijing bureau chief for The Economist, about the trade talks between the U.S. and China. Another round of talks resumed Tuesday in Shanghai.
John Higgs in Stranger Than We Can Imagine: An Alternative History Of The 20th Century (2015) tells a history that President Trump and the Trumpsters like to ignore. To listen to Trump complain about how the Chinese have taken advantage of us Americans, you would think that they pulled into New York and Los Angles harbors and said all your trade or else, like the British did to them in the19th century. Higgs writes that it was American corporate greed that caused our trade imbalance.
Higgs writes that post WWII was an exciting time to be alive in the West. A rising time of affluence benefited entire populations and suggested that the future could only get better. The American Dream was the American reality. The mix of individualism, advertising and corporate growth was a potent cocktail indeed. But then, at some point in the 1970s, things changed.
The strange attractor-like shift that occurred in the years leading up to 1980 was not apparent at the time. Economic growth continued as expected, but its impact on society began to change. Princeton economist Paul Krugman calls the shift in American inequality that began at the end of the 1970s the “Great Divergence,” while New Yorker journalist George Packer refers to the years after 1978 as the “unwinding.”
The benefits of economic growth slowly removed themselves from the broader middle class, and headed instead for the pockets of the very rich. Good jobs evaporated, social mobility declined and the “millennial” generation born after 1980 are expected to be worse off than the postwar “baby boomers.”
Life expectancy rates have started to fall, in certain demographic groups at least. At the same time, inequality has increased to the point when, in 2015, the combined wealth of the eighty riches people in the world was equal to that of the poorest half of the world’s population, some 3.5 billion people. Even those who believe that those eighty people work hard for their money would have difficulty arguing that they work 45 million times harder than everyone else.
THE RETREAT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM & CHINA’S PART IN IT
(l-r) Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping and President Xi Jinping
The retreat of the American Dream, which had promised a future better than the past, is the result of a number of complicated and chaotically linked events from the 1970s. One of these was the rise of Deng Xiaoping to the position of Paramount Leader of the Chinese Communist Party in December 1978, in the aftermath of the death of Mao. Deng began the process of introducing a managed form of capitalism into China.
The impacts of this would not be felt immediately, but the availability of cheaper Chinese labor for Western corporations would lead to the disappearance of well-paid Western manufacturing jobs, as well as destabilizing trade imbalances. This process of globalization also led to the disappearance of corporate taxes from government balance sheets. Corporations increasingly embraced globalization and reimagined themselves as stateless entities in no way beholden to the nations that formed them.
BRETTON WOODS COLLAPSE
A second factor according to Higgs was the collapse of the Bretton Woods Agreement in August 1971. This was a framework for international monetary management that had been agreed in the small New Hampshire town of Bretton Woods towards the end of the Second World War. The pre-war, every-man-for-himself approach to currency valuation had been responsible for some of the instability that led to war, so Bretton Woods was an attempt to create a more stable environment for international finance. It tied the value of international currencies to the US dollar, which was in turn tied to the value of gold reserves.
President Nixon’s response to a period of economic pain was to end the gold standard, cut the link between the dollar and physical wealth, and ultimately bring Brenton Woods to an end. The value of the dollar could then float free, worth whatever the markets said it was worth.
Thanks to this neat trick of divorcing money from physical reality, the perpetual-growth economy continued in what would otherwise have been a period of recession. It also transpired that the ever-increasing amount of consumption needed for perpetual growth could be financed by creative bookkeeping, and the creation of debt. Debt Mountains began to grow. When that approach ran into difficulty, in the early twenty-first century, taxpayer-funded bailouts kept the dream of perpetual growth alive.
Stephen Zunes in Tinderbox: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Roots of Terrorism (2003), examines the collusion of the United States and Israel to establish Israel as the suzerain of the Middle East.
BACKSTORY
Richard Falk in the Forward of Tinderbox writes that in March of 2002, a leaked Department of Defense document reveals a new willingness by the U.S. government to plan for wide potential uses of nuclear weapons, not as deterrents, but in war-fighting situations, and most provocatively, against a series of named countries. This unprecedented embrace of nuclearism is bound to give rise to profound anxiety throughout the world, confirming the worst fears about the destructive and dangerous drift of the brand of unilateralism being pursued by the Bush Administration. Such an arrogant form of militarist geopolitics menaces the entire world.
While these disturbing indications of a mounting world order crisis were accumulating, the Palestine/Israel encounter was entering its bloodiest phase ever, with both sides daily relying on Crimes Against Humanity to inflict as much harm as possible on the respective civilian societies of their enemy. Israel with its superior firepower deployed tanks and helicopter gunships against defenseless Palestinian refugees’ camps and undefended towns, creating a spectacle of oppressive brutality rarely, if ever, seen before in the long gory history of military occupation. The Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, responsible for a whole string of past abuses throughout his long career amounting to war crimes, actually had the chilling temerity to tell the Israeli Knesset that the violence could not end until more on the other side were dead. “Only after they have been battered we will be able to conduct talks.” It needs to be remembered that the other side is not an army, but an occupied helpless and impoverished civilian society.
Falk posits that as shocking as are these developments, the scandalous American reaction still manages to startle the moral imagination by its perversity. The U.S. government has during these bloody days consistently singled out Yasir Arafat and the Palestinian Authority to blame for the escalating violence, and has endorsed the outrageous Israeli view that their struggle is as much against terrorism as the American response to al-Qaeda. It is the intention of this absurdly distorted view of terrorism to give a green light to state terrorism even if it is engaged in directly targeting civilian society with heavy weapons. There is little doubt that such policies are [still 2019] plunging the world into a snake pit of chaos and depravity.
It is against such a background that one welcomes this fine and prescient book by Stephen Zunes, which surgically explains and clarifies what has truly gone wrong with American policy in a manner that challenges impressively the false reassurances of the conventional wisdom that weaves the myth of American innocence in relation to the terrorist backlash of September11. Zunes provides us with an un-blinkered understanding of the terrorist challenge, the Palestinian ordeal, and panoramic view of the wider failings of U.S. policy in the Middle East.
Zunes provides telling examples of our own frequent reliance on our own brands of “terrorism” to promote strategic and ideological goals as in the relation to the contras in Nicaragua during the 1980s or with respect to the anti-Soviet phases of afghan resistance when Osama bin Laden was our trusted and valued friend and ally. Zunes also shows how much our policies toward Israel/Palestine have proceeded with a brazen disregard for international law, the authority of the United Nations, especially Security Council Resolutions, and the protection of Human Rights.
In effect, Zunes portrays America taking over from the colonialists, and doing the same sort of dirty work to the peoples of the region, whether in the context of ensuring access to cheap oil for promiscuous energy consumption in rich countries or backing up the cruel Israeli refusal to provide Palestinians with their legitimate right, above all, their right to self-determination.
What distinguishes this powerful analysis from other critiques of American foreign policy in the Middle East is that you need not accept the principled part of Zones’ assessment to be persuaded by his overall argument that the U.S. government is pursuing a path that is self-defeating and will ultimately rebound to undermine its strategic interests in the region.
What is more, Zunes is at pains to insist that the quality of American support for Israeli official policies is having the effect of weakening the legitimate core of Israel’s search for security as a prosperous sovereign state living at peace with its neighbors and at ease with itself. In this important respect, those who ardently support Israel, and identify with its struggle, would do well to ponder his central contention that the “friendship” being tendered by the U.S. government includes a poisoned chalice!
HOW DID WE GET HERE? THE ROOTS OF U.S. POLICY
Devastation and outrage’ after Israeli forces destroy Palestinian homes in Sur Bahir

It was the middle of the night, but the residents of the occupied East Jerusalem town of Sur Bahir were not asleep. They were waiting for, dreading, the arrival of Israeli forces to demolish their homes.
At around 2:15am on Monday, the people’s worst fears came true with the sounds of military jeeps, bulldozers, and heavy machinery rolled into their neighborhood of Wadi al-Hummus, on the outskirts of Sur Bahir, right next to Israel’s separation barrier.

Locals told Mondoweiss that more than 1,000 Israeli soldiers and government workers descended upon the area, with force, and began the process of demolishing 11 buildings in the neighborhood.
The buildings in question, containing some 70 apartments, were slated for demolition last month when the Israeli Supreme Court gave the final ruling — after a seven year legal battle between residents and the state — that the buildings were to be destroyed due to their proximity to Israel’s separation barrier, citing “security concerns.”
Despite being on the Jerusalem side of the barrier, the homes in question were built on land controlled by the Palestinian Authority (PA), with the homeowners claiming they received the appropriate building permits from the PA.
The residents of Wadi al-Hummus stepped up their efforts last week to try and save their homes with intensified media campaigns and appeals to international leaders to intervene on their behalf.
But as Israeli forces stormed their neighborhood Monday morning, the hopes of the residents came crashing down. By late afternoon local time, Israeli forces had destroyed 10 out of 11 buildings, and had rigged the final building with explosives in preparation for its demolition, local activist Hamada Hamada told Mondoweiss.

“With these demolitions they [Israel] forcibly displaced dozens of people,” Hamada said, “and destroyed the dreams of hundreds of others who had not yet moved into their homes.”
A swift and aggressive operation
Immediately after Israeli forces arrived at the scene they began forcibly removing residents from their homes, along with local activists who had pitched up at the residents homes in an act of solidarity.
“The soldiers were really aggressive, pushing and shoving people, firing tear gas at us, and even beating some people with the butts of their rifles,” Hamada told Mondoweiss.
Video footage and photos circulated on social media show masked soldiers pulling people out of their homes, while trucks removed residents’ cars from the area.
According to Hamada, residents were not even given time to go through their belongings and take what they needed.
“The soldiers just threw everyone out, and cordoned them off in corners, preventing them from moving around the neighborhood or interacting with other groups in the area,” he said.

During the standoff between residents and soldiers, at least one person was detained. He was identified as Muhammad Abu Teir, an owner of the homes that was destroyed.
“He was just trying to defend his home, that he built with his two hands, from being destroyed,” Hamada said of Abu Teir’s arrest, adding that Abu Teir was expected to be released by the end of the day, but would be receiving a fine and an order to stay away from Wadi al-Hummus until Thursday.
While some forces removed the residents from the buildings, Hamada said that other forces worked to “besiege” the entire neighborhood, declaring it a closed military zone, and preventing the entrance of everyone, including journalists.
“Then besieged each building, assigning a bulldozer to each building so that multiple bulldozers could work at once,” he added.
The PLO tweeted that the demolitions began with four buildings being destroyed at one time, along with a video of Israeli forces removing residents and activists from the buildings.
In a statement on Monday, UN officials commented on the situation, saying “what happened today in Sur Bahir is of even greater significance, as many other homes and structures now risk the same fate,” the statement said.
Israeli NGO B’Tselem released a report Monday, commenting on the “far-reaching” implications of the Supreme court ruling in Sur Bahir.
“In various places in East Jerusalem (such as Dahiat al-Barid, Kafr Aqab, and the Shuafat Refugee Camp) and other parts of the West Bank (such as a-Ram, Qalqiliyah, Tulkarm, and Qalandia al-Balad), numerous residential homes were built near the separation fence,” the group said.
“Furthermore, as a result of the Israeli planning policy that prevents Palestinians from receiving building permits, many other buildings were built without permits, there being no other choice. The latest ruling gives Israel legal authorization to demolish all of these houses, while hiding behind “security arguments” in order to carry out its illegal policy.”https://mondoweiss.net/2019/07/devastation-outrage-palestinian/
Stephen Zunes declares that with the United States arming and financing Israel’s occupation and colonization drive and blaming the Palestinians exclusively for the violence, however, Sharon and future Israeli leaders [like Netanyahu and his Likud] can especially do as they please. This buying time will likely end up being disastrous for Israel since it further isolates the Jewish state from other Middle Eastern countries and much of the rest of the world, provides an opening for anti-Semitic ideologies, and creates a greater dependency on the United states. And, the ongoing occupation and dimming hopes that the Palestinians will have a viable state of their own are just what breed extremists prone to commit acts of terrorism.
Bias Against Palestinians
What motivates the strong American bias against the Palestinians? Zunes posits on is the sentimental attachment many Americans—particularly liberals of the post-World War II generation—have for Israel. There is a great appreciation for Israel’s internal democracy, progressive social institutions (such as the kibbutzim), the relatively high level of social equality, and Israel’s important role as a sanctuary for an oppressed minority group that spent centuries in the Diaspora. Through a mixture of guilt regarding Western anti-Semitism by criticizing Israel, there is enormous reluctance to acknowledge the seriousness of Israeli violations of human rights and international law.
Many American liberals of this generation have an idealist view of Israel that is both as sincere and inaccurate as the idealized view of Stalin’s Russia embraced by an earlier generation of American leftist. To many Americans who are middle aged and older, Israel is seen as it was portrayed in the idealized and romanticized 1960 movie Exodus, staring a young Paul Newman. Contributing to this view is the widespread racism in American society against Arabs and Muslims, often encouraged in the media.
This is compounded by the identification many Americans have with Zionism in the Middle East as a reflection of their own historical experience in North America as immigrants and pioneers. In both cases, European migrants—many of whom were escaping religious persecution—built a new nation based upon noble, idealistic values while simultaneously suppressing and expelling the indigenous population seen as violent and “primitive.”
An increasingly important factor shaping U.S. policy is the Christian Right with tens of millions of followers and a major base of support for the Republican Party, which has thrown its immense media assets and political clout in support for Ariel Sharon and other right-wing Israeli leaders. Based in part on a messianic theology that sees the in-gathering of Jews to the Holy Land as a precursor for the second coming of Christ, the battle between Israelis and Palestinians is, in their eyes, simply continuation of the Biblical battles between the Israelite and the Philistines. God is seen as a kind of cosmic real estate agent who has deemed that the land belongs to Israel alone—secular notions regarding international law and the right of self-determination notwithstanding.
A new survey from the Pew Research Center shows Americans have fairly good knowledge of the Bible and Christianity but limited understanding of Judaism, Buddhism and other faith traditions.
The continued high levels of U.S. aid to Israel does not come out of concern for Israel’s survival, but more likely from a desire for Israel to continue its political dominion over the Palestinians and its military dominance of the region. Why then then, this extraordinary support for Israel?
The primary reason is the role Israel plays for the United States. In a region where radical nationalism could threaten U.S. control of oil and other strategic interests, Israel successfully has prevented victories by radical nationalist movements, not just in Palestine, but in Lebanon and Jordan as well. They have kept Syria, with a radical nationalist regime once allied with the Soviet Union in Check. Their air force is predominant throughout the region.
ISRAEL “HAS A RIGHT TO EXIST” BUT NOT PALESTINE
It would be wrong to assume that the U.S. commitment to Israel has primarily a moral basis as claimed by its supporters. U.S. support for Israel is certainly not a case of defending a democracy battling for its very survival. Were this actually the primary motivation for supporting Israel, American aid would have been highest in the early years of the existence of the Jewish state—when its democratic institutions were strongest and its strategic situation most vulnerable—and would have declined as its military power grew dramatically and its repression against Palestinians in the occupied territories increased. Instead, the trend has been in just the opposite direction: major U.S. military and economic aid did not begin until after the 1967 War. Indeed, 99 percent of all U.S. military assistance to Israel since its establishment came only after Israel proved itself to be far stronger than any combination of Arab armies and after Israeli occupation forces became the rulers of a large Palestinian population.
In the hypothetical event that all U.S. aid to Israel was immediately cut off, it would be many years before Israel would be under significantly greater military threat than it is today. Israel has both a major domestic arms industry and an existing military force far more capable and powerful than any conceivable combination of opposing forces.
A cutoff of U.S. military and economic support might force Israel to negotiate a settlement with the Palestinians, since it would make the expensive patchwork of Israeli military control and subsidized settlements in the occupied territories prohibitively expensive for such a small country. However, even with such a suspension of U.S. aid, there would be no question of Israel’s survival being at risk militarily in the foreseeable future.
One of the most fundamental principles in the theory of international relations is that the most stable military relationship between adversaries (besides disarmament) is strategic parity. Such a relationship provides an effective deterrent for both sides against the other launching a preemptive attack. If the United States was concerned simply with Israel’s security, the goal would be to maintain Israeli defenses to the point where they would be approximately equal to any realistic combination of Arab armed forces, [or Iranian missiles].
Instead, leaders of both American political parties have insisted that rather than help maintain a military balance between Israel and its neighbors, the United States must insure a qualitative Israeli military superiority.
Donald Trump vetoes bills prohibiting arms sales to Saudi Arabia
Arms package includes thousands of precision-guided munitions and aircraft maintenance support

Donald Trump has vetoed a trio of congressional resolutions aimed at blocking his administration from selling billions of dollars of weapons to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, last month cited threats from Iran as a reason to approve the $8.1bn arms sale to the two US allies in the Gulf.
Saudi Arabia is an enemy of Iran and tension has mounted between the UAE and Tehran over several issues, including the UAE’s coordination with US efforts to curb what it calls Iran’s malign activities in the region.
But Trump’s decision in May to sell the weapons in a way that would have bypassed congressional review infuriated lawmakers. In a pushback to Trump’s foreign policy, Democrats and Republicans banded together to pass resolutions to block the weapons sale.
The White House had argued that stopping the sale would send a signal that the US did not stand by its partners and allies, particularly at a time when threats against them were increasing. The arms package included thousands of precision-guided munitions, other bombs and ammunition and aircraft maintenance support.
Anger has been mounting in Congress over the Trump administration’s close ties to the Saudis, fuelled by the high civilian casualties in the Saudi-led war in Yemen – a military campaign the US is assisting – and the killing of the US-based columnist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents. Trump’s decision in May to sell the weapons further inflamed the tensions.
“The president’s shameful veto tramples over the will of the bipartisan, bicameral Congress and perpetuates his administration’s involvement in the horrific conflict in Yemen, which is a stain on the conscience of the world,” the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said in a statement.
It did not appear that lawmakers opposed to the sale had enough votes to override Trump’s veto.
The New Jersey senator Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate foreign relations committee, led the effort, but he had support from two of Trump’s GOP allies in Congress: Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Last month members of the House foreign affairs committee grilled state department officials about the sale. Its chairman, Eliot Engel, a Democrat representative of New York, said it was a “slap in the face” to Congress and accused the Trump administration of using threats from Iran as a “convenient excuse” to push through the sale.
When Israel was less dominant militarily, there was no such consensus for U.S. backing of Israel. The continued high levels of U.S. aid to Israel does not come out of concern for Israel’s survival, but more likely from a desire for Israel to continue its political dominion over the Palestinians and its military dominance [suzerainty] over the region.
It has long been in the interests of the U.S. government to maintain a militarily powerful belligerent Israel dependent on the United States. Real peace could undermine such a relationship. The United States therefore has pursued a policy that could bring greater stability to the region while falling short of real peace. The United states is working towards a Middle East where Israel can be a key component in projecting American military and economic interests [oil, selling weapons to Saudi Arabia and aiding in its quest to build a pipeline across Yemen to the Gulf of Aden where a permanent U.S. military base is established], which requires suppressing challenges to American-Israeli hegemony.
ENCOURAGING THE ISLAMIC BACKLASH AND THE RISK OF WAR
Zunes posits that even where the United States has not supported Islamic extremist [Afghanistan 1980s] directly, the U.S. has often engaged in policies that have led directly to the rise of such movements, [al Qaeda]. The classic case of this phenomenon is Iran [1953].
The move by the nationalist Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh to nationalize the British-owned [BP] oil monopoly in the early 1950s sparked direct U.S. involvement in the country’s internal affairs. Fearing the possibility of this precedent spreading to Saudi Arabia [ARAMCO]—where U.S. oil companies were in effective control of that country’s oil reserves—the United States joined Great Britain and other Western countries in boycotting Iranian oil, resulting in a major economic and political crisis.
Concerned that the political unrest was increasing the influence of the communist Tudeh Party [MEK now an American ally] and desiring control of the country’s vast oil wealth, the United States sent in the CIA to facilitate the overthrow of Iran’s constitutional government in 1953. In its place, the United States installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi—who had fled into exile barely a week earlier after losing a power struggle with Mossadegh—as absolute monarch. Over the next twenty-five years, the United States armed and trained the military and the SAVAK, the dreaded secret police of the Shah, which emerged as one of the most repressive internal security organizations of the era.
It comes as no surprise, in light of this, that the revolution that finally ousted the monarchy in February 1979 was stridently anti-American. Furthermore, since the Shah’s repressive apparatus had largely succeeded in wiping out the secular opposition to the regime, it was religious opponents—who survived as a result of the greater cohesion made possible through the mosques—who spearheaded the revolutionary movement. Thus, the radical Islamic orientation of the revolution was greatly influenced by the Shah’s American-backed efforts to maintain control through repression.
Eight months after the triumph of the revolution, the exiled shah entered the United States for medical treatment. Fearing he might be plotting with American officials to try to return to power, radical Iranian students, backed by elements in the Islamic government, seized more than fifty American hostages at the U.S. embassy, promising to release them only if the shah was extradited to Iran for trial.
They held the American hostages for 444 days. During that time, the United States successfully petitioned the International Court of Justice to demand their release, made threats of war, staged an unsuccessful military raid to free them, seized Iranian assets overseas, and helped secure international sanctions against Iran.
The hostage crisis dominated the attention of the Carter Administration during its last fourteen months in office and brought the attention of the United States for the first time to the threat from anti-American Islamic movements. The Shah died of cancer in July 1980. A series of difficult negotiations, brokered by the government of Algeria, eventually led to the hostages’ release on January 20 1981, the day Ronald Reagan was inaugurated president.
The U.S. support for the Shah often is cited as a classic example of “blowback,” the phenomenon where the United States engages in policies supporting political repression for short-term political expediency only to find that, in the long term, an extreme anti-American reaction results.
Howard Zinn in Passionate Declarations: Essays On War And Justice (2003) take on Tyrants and tyranny, lessons to give US hope in the time of Trump. In one essay, he features a fable written by German playwright Bertolt Brecht that goes roughly like this:
A man living alone answers a knock at the door. When he opens it, he sees in the doorway the powerful body, the cruel face, of The Tyrant. The Tyrant asks, “Will you submit?” The man does not reply. He steps aside. The Tyrant enters and establishes himself in the man’s house. The man serves him for years. Then The Tyrant becomes sick from food poisoning. He dies. The man wraps the body, opens the door, gets rid of the body, comes back to his house, closes the door behind him, and says, firmly, “No.”
This tale reminds me of the death of Franco, Juan Carlos and Spain’s rejection of him and his Fascism.
Zinn’s lesson: Violence is not the only form of power. Sometimes it is the least effective. Always it is the most vicious, for the perpetrator as well as for the victim. And it is corrupting.
This is the point that the Iran Ambassador to the UN in his interview with Steve Inskeep on Morning Edition Tuesday July 19. As well as the writer of Psalms 37:35-38:
Psalm 37:35-3821st Century King James Version (KJ21)
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and lo, he was no more; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Zinn posits that the absence of democracy in foreign policy is even more obvious when you consider how much is done secretly by the president and his advisers, behind the backs of the American public, as well as behind the backs of their elected representatives.
Zinn declares that the list of secret actions by the U.S. government includes the CIA’s overthrow of the government of Iran in 1953, restoring the Shah to the throne: the 1954, invasion of Guatemala and the ousting of its democratically elected president; the invasion of Cuba in 1961; and the wide range of covert operations in Indochina in the 1950s and1960s, including the secret bombing of Cambodia. More recently, we find the series of attempts to overthrow the Sandinista government in Nicaragua by arming a counterrevolutionary force (the “contras”) across the border in Honduras, and mining Nicaragua’s harbors, as well as the secret transfer of arms to the contras in violation of a law passed by Congress.
When the “Iran-Contra” scandal became public in 1986-1987, President Reagan feigned innocence—using the doctrine of “plausible denial.” With astounding hypocrisy, Reagan said in his State of the Union Address at the beginning of 1987 (the bicentennial of the Constitution), “In those other constitutions, the government tells the people what they are allowed to do. In our constitution, we the people tell the government what it can do and that it can do only those things listed in the document and no other.”
Zinn advises that actions (the word covert is used officially, perhaps it sounds more respectable than secret) are fundamentally undemocratic; they take place behind the backs of the American people. The people who carry them out are, therefore, not accountable to any democratic process. The government has bypassed its own channels. For the citizens to stop this, civil disobedience may be needed.
The excuse for covert action is that telling the truth will endanger the country, while secrecy will save lives. But secrecy may result in the taking of people’s lives, behind the backs of the public, which if it knew what was happening, might stop it. People were killed in the coup that put the shah back on the throne of Iran; many more were killed by the shah’s [secret police] afterward. The secret operation in Guatemala resulted in a police state that later killed tens of thousands of Guatemalans. In the invasion of Cuba, thousands died. Secrecy did not save lives.
Tom Gjelten reported on Morning Edition July 19, that Millennial are losing trust for American Churches and the clergy and placing their trust in the military. Zinn would disagree with this trust in the military and say it was an illusion.
Two polls provide more evidence that Americans are becoming less religious. Confidence in organized religion is down, and Americans are less and less inclined to seek guidance from clergy.
Zinn writes that freedom and justice, which so often have been the excuses for violence, are still our goals. But the means for achieving them must change, because violence, however tempting in the quickness of its action, undermines those goals immediately, and also in the long run. The means for achieving social change must match, morally, the ends.
It is true that human rights cannot be defended or advanced without power. But, if we have learned anything useful from the carnage of this century (20th century), it is that true power does not—as the heads of states everywhere implore us to believe—come out of the barrel of a gun, or out of a missile silo.
The possession of 10,000 plus thermonuclear weapons by the United States did not change the fact that it was helpless to stop a revolution in Cuba or another in Nicaragua, that it was unable to defeat its enemy either in Korea or in Vietnam. Nor did they stop the break-up of the Soviet Union.
The power of massive armaments is much overrated indeed it might be called a huge fake—one of the great heroes of the twentieth century, [and especially in the 21st where the computer and AI hold sway]. We have seen heavily armed tyrants flee before masses of citizens galvanized by a moral goal. Recall television images of the Shah of Iran searching desperately for someone to take him in.
GROWING WORLDWIDE ANTI-SEMITISM & US THE MILITARY
Zinn gives as example of why Antisemitism is increasing. He writes the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, under the military occupation of the Israelis since the war of 1967, began around 1987 to adopt nonviolent tactics, massive demonstrations, to bring the attention of the world to their brutal treatment by the Israelis. This brought more brutality, as hundreds of Palestinians, unarmed (except for clubs and rocks), were shot to death by Israeli soldiers. But the world did begin to pay attention and if there is finally a peaceful arrangement that gives the Palestinians their freedom and Israel its security, it will probably be the result of nonviolent direct action.
Because of the Internet and Social Media in general, Zionist/Neocons propaganda cannot not protect the Israelis against charges visibly witnessed of the ill treatment of the Palestinian and the fact that the Trump administration is not a neutral or fair-handed negotiator and the that Sunni Arab states, our allies, will not take the Palestinians as anything but refugees, not citizens; thus they have not citizenship outside of Palestine.
Israel tries to pretend that the Balfour Decision has nothing to do with the present conditions in the Middle East or with the anticipated war on Iran. And that the Palestinians have been imaged as Nazi oppressors, when it was the Arabs that allowed them for centuries to live in peace within their lands.
The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government in 1917 during the First World War announcing support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population. It read:
His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
Immediately following their declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, the British War Cabinet began to consider the future of Palestine; within two months a memorandum was circulated to the Cabinet by a Zionist Cabinet member, Herbert Samuel, proposing the support of Zionist ambitions in order to enlist the support of Jews in the wider war. A committee was established in April 1915 by British Prime MinisterH. H. Asquith to determine their policy toward the Ottoman Empire including Palestine. Asquith, who had favoured post-war reform of the Ottoman Empire, resigned in December 1916; his replacement David Lloyd George, favoured partition of the Empire. The first negotiations between the British and the Zionists took place at a conference on 7 February 1917 that included Sir Mark Sykes and the Zionist leadership. Subsequent discussions led to Balfour’s request, on 19 June, that Rothschild and Chaim Weizmann submit a draft of a public declaration. Further drafts were discussed by the British Cabinet during September and October, with input from Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews but with no representation from the local population in Palestine.
By late 1917, in the lead up to the Balfour Declaration, the wider war had reached a stalemate, with two of Britain’s allies not fully engaged: the United States had yet to suffer a casualty, and the Russians were in the midst of a revolution with Bolsheviks taking over the government. A stalemate in southern Palestine was broken by the Battle of Beersheba on 31 October 1917. The release of the final declaration was authorised on 31 October; the preceding Cabinet discussion had referenced perceived propaganda benefits amongst the worldwide Jewish community for the Allied war effort.
The opening words of the declaration represented the first public expression of support for Zionism by a major political power. The term “national home” had no precedent in international law, and was intentionally vague as to whether a Jewish state was contemplated. The intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified, and the British government later confirmed that the words “in Palestine” meant that the Jewish national home was not intended to cover all of Palestine. The second half of the declaration was added to satisfy opponents of the policy, who had claimed that it would otherwise prejudice the position of the local population of Palestine and encourage antisemitism worldwide by “stamping the Jews as strangers in their native lands”. The declaration called for safeguarding the civil and religious rights for the Palestinian Arabs, who composed the vast majority of the local population, and also the rights and political status of the Jewish communities in other countries outside of Palestine. The British government acknowledged in 1939 that the local population’s views should have been taken into account, and recognised in 2017 that the declaration should have called for protection of the Palestinian Arabs’ political rights.
Noam Chomsky in Perilous Power declares that Israel is a notoriously racist state, preferring Russian Jews, as Chomsky attests, who unlike the Falasha or Ethiopian Jews, a lot of them aren’t Jews. The Rabbinate, which is very corrupt, is willing to accept them as Jews—mostly because they’re blond and blue-eyed, figuratively speaking. They don’t look like Arabs, they look more like Northern Europeans. [More like Hitler’s Aryans’ standard of beauty.] They help stem the Levantinzation. The typical model of the Sabra, an Israeli Jew born in Israel, is supposed to be red-haired and strong, rather like a movie hero in the West. The Russian so-called Jews help with that. Chomsky says that some of the estimates were that maybe half did not fit the strict criteria for being Jewish. In any event, they’re a very hawkish element, and they’re politically very significant.
This can help U.S. citizens understand who is running the show that Sheldon Adelson And Steve Wynn are paying Trump to host. And why anti-Semitism has taken hold worldwide.
Trump wants to go to war with China. How can the US win an outside war when a Civil War is about to break out in the United States? One war along with a race war is in the future.

Anti-Semitism is growing in the United States because of Netanyahu’s Holocaust 2.0 in Gaza. Americans are a peculiar people that is always leaning toward the underdog. Remember Vietnam? It seems our government is always on the wrong side of history against those trying to free themselves from their colonial masters or other US imposed dictators thinking the fact that democracy solves. Like the Athenian of old, they free and then re-enslave to a more powerful master. Blacks have not forgotten their history although it is outlawed in public schools.
U.S. and Israeli flags wave together. Nearly half of U.S. Jewish respondents to a survey commissioned by the American Jewish Committee say they’ve changed their behavior due to fear. The survey was conducted in October and November 2023.

Large majorities of Americans — both Jews and non-Jews — say antisemitism in the U.S. is a serious problem, according to a new report out Tuesday from the American Jewish Committee.
The study, called “The State of Antisemitism in America,” found that 94% of Jews and 74% of U.S. adults surveyed say antisemitism is a “very serious problem” or “somewhat serious problem.”
The American Jewish Committee (AJC) commissioned the study, which was carried out in October and November of last year.
I cannot believe that American Jews are so ignorant as to what the plethora of recent anti-Semitism is all about. Netanyahu has pushed October 7 to the background and pulled Holocaust 2.0 to the foreground. International Jewry has relied on the Hollywood version of the Holocaust to gain sympathy worldwide and most importantly to gain Whiteness in the public imagination. Meanwhile, people worldwide have developed amnesia about the cause of the Hamas War, in the face of the cruelty that Netanyahu and Joe Biden are causing to the innocents in Gaza. Jews seem to have forgotten their history in the West. And that Jews are too easy to hate. Biden declares his Zionism to avoid telling Netanyahu to stop killing the innocent. Blacks remember because of their own persecutions under de jure apartheid–segregation, in America from 1896 to 1954. This is what makes Palestinian suffering under the boot of the Netanyahu administration so personal to them and willing break traditional ties with Jews.

Americans see history as irrelevant because they are always living in the present and don’t realize that the past controls the present. This is why the West joined the US in a proxy war against Russia pledging Ukrainian lives to the last man. Knowing Ukraine was the most corrupt nation state in Europe, so much so that the EU did not want it in the Union, and the fact that Ukraine is a Eastern European nation, the West knew it could be tricked by its greed and US promises of an American style of lifestyle after beating the Russians. Egged on by the Neocons and promises of “we will fund you as long as it take,” they forgot recent history–Afghanistan, and that the US was a run-out artist with no shame. Diplomacy without a knowledge of history is useless, as the Ukrainians about to find out.
A mere perusal of Lothrop Stoddard’s Stakes of the War America diplomats in the State Department would understand why Putin put so much empathies on Russian history to introduce himself to Tucker Carlson.

AMERICAN ANTISEMITISM IS ABOUT NEOCONS IS ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY AND LEADERSHIP IN THE WHITE HOUSE
BAD DAY FOR NEOCONS – PUTIN INTERVIEW VS. BIDEN PRESSER Garland Ni
STAKES OF HOLOCAUST 3.0 IN AMERICA
There is a sage expression that is always true: A lie circles the earth while the truth is getting its boots on. Binyamin Netanyahu and the Neocons understand its affect and effect too well and have used their Holocaust to engender sympathy like a lost cause. Now Netanyahu’s use of Holocaust 2.0 in Gaza must be disassociated from Jewish history.
A lie is used to starve people to death in the Middle East refugee camps and the concentration camp in Gaza. Where as the Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin can be backed up by the information in Stakes of the War. It is not accepted as the truth Putin expressed. Perhaps the main truth is that the Zionist takeover the US government has deafen ears in Washington to the narratives of any but the Netanyahu government, the Zionists, the Neocons and AIPAC money Black American solidarity with Palestinians is rising and testing longstanding ties to Jewish allies.
Joe Biden is greeted at the White House door by the Neocons. What do they tell this man who for the most part is living in the past? He admits that he is a Zionist but does not seem to notice that the Zionist have taken over the US government. Noticing is what the President of an Empire is it chief duty. The Romans did not notice and the barbarians ate their lunch. The friends greeting Biden at the White House door have a lean and hungry look. March is upon US.
There were two successful revolutions in the twentieth century : The Russian Revolution and the Cuban Revolution. The Russian Revolution effected the entire West, while the Cuban Revolution only effected the United States’ vanity. Russia was part of the British Empire via Queen Victoria through royal marriages. After the Bolsheviks’ victory in the October Revolution the Capitalist-colonialist ruling class was terrified that the Russian Revolution would spread to them, and their peasant/working class would rise up against it.
The ruling class used their most powerful tool against the October Revolution: Propaganda. The masses were told that the communist were godless; religion was among the controls used by the ruling class in partnership with the Church. Fascism was preferable to Communism because it allowed for religion (the opiate of the people) and for strong men governance such as Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Nazi Germany. Both countries, as well as the balance of Europe, found Jews offensive blaming them for the spread of Communism because Karl Marx was a Jew.
However, prior to the Ackermans; the Adelsons; Irving Kristol’s Neocon; and the Zionist takeover of the White House via AIPAC; American Jews desired what W.E.B. Dubois express as the American Negro’s Striving:
After the Egyptian and Indian, the Greek and Roman, the Teuton and Mongolian, the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second–sight in this American world,—a world which yields him no true self–consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double–consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his twoness,—an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.
The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife,—this longing to attain self–conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self. In this merging he wishes neither of the older selves to be lost. He would not Africanize America, for America has too much to teach the world and Africa. He would not bleach his Negro soul in a flood of white Americanism, for he knows that Negro blood has a message for the world. He simply wishes to make it possible for a man to be both a Negro and an American, without being cursed and spit upon by his fellows, without having the doors of Opportunity closed roughly in his face.

AVAHAM BURG EXPOSES THE GOLD DUST TWINS NATURE OF BEJAMIN NETANYAHU’S AND ADOLF HITLER “STRUGLE” Avraham Burg raises some interesting literary references in The Holocaust Is Over. Both Hitler and Netanyahu longed for Lebensraum— living space occupied by others and wrote about it in their memoirs. However, The main difference between Hitler and Netanyahu is that all Hitler did was talk and his henchman and his Furies did the rest. His hand were clean.
My question is, “could Hitler be tried as a war criminal?” Netanyahu’s hands are dripping blood because he participates in Holocaust 2.0 in Gaza, committing genocide by gassing captives.
IT DID NOT BEGIN ON OCTOBER 7–IT WAS PLOTTED BY BENJAMIN NATETANYU’S SPRING
Burg uses his own family history–his parents were Holocaust survivors–to inform his innovative views on what the Jewish people need to do to move on and eventually live in peace with their Arab neighbors and feel comfortable in world at large. Thought-provoking, compelling, and original, this book is bound to spark a heated debate around the world. (Amazon.com)

In this memoir Bibi weaves together his gripping personal story with the dramatic history of Israel and the Jewish people. Through a host of vivid anecdotes, he narrates his own evolution from soldier to statesman, while providing a unique perspective on leadership, the fraught geopolitics of the Middle East, and his successful efforts to liberate Israel’s economy, which helped turn it into a global powerhouse of technological innovation.

THIS IS WHY THE WEST HATES RUSSIA
In spite of Tucker Carlson’s coup of an interview with Vladimir Putin, the mainstream media had nothing positive to say about it. The main reason is their trained and strident dislike and disrespect for Putin the man. To the American Neocons its personal. They want revenge for the pogroms done to their ancestor in Eastern Europe by the Czars. It is hard for African Americans to understand the inbred hatred and thirst for revenge that these descendants of Eastern Jews have for and against the Russians when they have forgiven white Americans to this day for the evil continuously being done to them. The Neocons have grown rich and comfortable in the American Empire, now that the Neocons, the Zionist, and AIPAC that bought and paid for America have taken over its government under a self described Zionist President “and old man with a bad memory” thy are willing to take the world to the gates of WWIII for revenge, when vengeance is mine saith Jehovah. This is revealed by the Netanyahu Holocaust 2.0 in Gaza.

ON THE ROAD TO HOLOCAUST 3.0
You have read me mention Holocaust 3.0 which I see coming down the road. It took the Zionists 70 years to takeover the US government. But it will only take the MAGA men and the Trump Furies less than that when the scales fall from their eyes that they have been duped—been had–led into bedlam by the Neocons. Then the promised Second Civil War will begin in America and spread worldwide. This is sad, but also has it comical aspect. My favorite caricature of this future is is George Santos. He represents all the traits that criticism of Jews and Jewish bad behavior that was not allowed to be commented upon by the American public for the past 70 years. He picked up all the cues and won.
Israel dream may come true. The US may go to war with Iran. But dream have an off ramp that can lead to hell. Especially when the American heart is growing cold toward Israel because of Netanyahu’ Holocaust 2.0 on Gaza civilians. People are erasing October 7 because they are concentrating on ethnic cleansing that Netanyahu in Gaza. Anti-Semitism is being replaced by hate. There is a difference.
HOW DO YOU PLAN THE WAR ON IRAN 20 YEARS IN ADVANCE
President Joe Biden pretends that the plan to go to war with Iran is a recent. It has always been on the Israeli agenda. The only Middle East country Israel fears is Iran. Biden does not accept the truth that the United States Empire is an invader—intruder—colonizer, bully in the Middle East. The Syrians, the Iraqis, the Lebanese, the Houfis, understand this: the US is an occupier. If they unionize and strike while the American Empire is weak, they can drive the US out of their territory.
Since the “rape” of Israeli women and the “babies” with heads cut off by Hamas, got no traction with with anybody but Biden—then the tale of Iran being in back of every terrorist attack must be circulated as Israeli war propaganda. The hypocrisy of which the US supplies its ally, Israel, with weapons of mass destruction. Noam Chomsky and Gilbert Achcar tell the backstory of Middle East relationships in Perilous Power: The Middle East and US Foreign Policy Dialogues on Terror, Democracy, War and Justice that has been ignored by the American public for over 20 years. The easiest and most effective way to conceal an idea is to put it in a book, then place it in the library—none but a few will ever know.
THE RECIPE FOR WAR ON IRAN
The volatile Middle East is the site of vast resources, profound passions, frequent crises, and long-standing conflicts, as well as a major source of international tensions and a key site of direct US intervention. Two of the most astute analysts of this part of the world are Noam Chomsky, the preeminent critic of U.S, foreign policy, and Gilbert Achcar, a leading specialist of the Middle East who lived in that region for many years. In their new book, Chomsky and Achcar bring a keen understanding of the internal dynamics of the Middle East and of the role of the United States, taking up all the key questions of interest to concerned citizens, including such topics as terrorism, fundamentalism, conspiracies, oil, democracy, self-determination, anti-Semitism, and anti-Arab racism, as well as the war in Afghanistan, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the sources of U.S. foreign policy. This book provides the best readable introduction for all who wish to understand the complex issues related to the Middle East from a perspective dedicated to peace and justice.

Rachel Maddow DEMOLISHED Over Ridiculous Biden Coverage! Dangerous
Hitler’s Furies
Written by: Wendy Lower
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST. A revelatory history of the role of German women in the Holocaust, not only as plunderers and direct witnesses, but as actual killers on the Eastern Front during World War II.
Lower, drawing on twenty years of archival research and fieldwork, presents startling evidence that these women were more than “desk murderers” or comforters of murderous German men: they went on “shopping sprees” and romantic outings to the Jewish ghettos; they were present at killing-field picnics, not only providing refreshment but also shooting Jews. And Lower uncovers the stories of SS wives with children of their own whose brutality is as chilling as any in history.
Hitler’s Furies challenges our deepest beliefs: women can be as brutal as men, and the evidence can be hidden for seventy years.
