U.S. Foreign Policy Seems to Have Nowhere to Go

Has AIPAC Corrupted The US Goverment?

Over the past four months I have carried out my daily morning scan of the major online news websites increasingly concerned over what I would be seeing given the mainstream media’s reluctance to report honestly and the persistent management by government propaganda mills of what is leaked to the journalists. News regarding what is taking place with Russia-Ukraine suffered initially as the war turned sharply in Moscow’s favor late last year, so much so that the likely outcome is only being challenged on neocon dominated sites like American Enterprise Institute, Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the National Review. President Joe Biden and team are now only struggling to raise $61 billion for Volodymyr Zelensky to prolong the conflict through the US election later this year so Biden can appear to be a strong “wartime” president fighting hard to defend the United States from the threatening Red Hordes. That the money will essentially drop down the hole of Ukrainian corruption seems to bother no one in the White House, but the game goes on with Biden saying “This bipartisan bill sends a clear message to Ukrainians and to our partners and to our allies around the world: America can be trusted, America can be relied upon, and America stands up for freedom. We stand strong for our allies. We never bow down to anyone, and certainly not to Vladimir Putin. So, let’s get on with this….Are [we] going to side with terror and tyranny? Are [we] going to stand with Ukraine, or are [we] going to stand with Putin? Will we stand with America or – or with Trump?” The president is also currently pumping the line that he is somehow saving or protecting “democracy.” The fact that Ukraine, banning political parties and even religious groups and the Russian language, is no democracy does not seem to impact on the narrative. And don’t forget how the Zelensky government recently murdered American journalist Gonzalo Lira for his exercising freedom of the press!

Biden argues that standing by America’s “allies,” even when they are not actual allies, is essential to maintain confidence in the United States and its leadership mission to create a “rules based international order” and thereby save the world. Beyond Ukraine, there is, of course, America’s “best friend” and “greatest ally” Israel which also is no democracy as Palestinian citizens have limited rights, with those living on the Israeli army occupied West Bank having effectively no protection from being arrested arbitrarily or even shot on sight by rampaging soldiers and settlers, who fear no consequences for killing and robbing Arabs because there are no consequences. The bombing of Gaza into the stone age continues with hardly any coverage in the mainstream media as if it is an atrocity that will disappear from the collective conscience if no one refers to it in spite of the rows of dead women and children. The US and European media meanwhile blithely report every new “Hamas atrocity” promoted by the habitually lying Israeli Army (IDF) as if it were the truth while Biden is pulling out the stops to provide the cash ($14 billion) and weapons to enable the IDF to kill more Palestinians while at the same time mock-mourning the slaughter of the innocents that is taking place. The ghastly death toll is a direct result of Joe’s lack of any action to force the Israelis to change course, which he has the leverage to do with a phone call to Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to cut off the cash, arms and political support. But the administration has made plain that it has no intention to do anything like that.

But even given all of that excitement last week there is one story that stands out, the video of former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo in Israel grinning and dancing with celebrating Israeli soldiers, who presumably have just returned from Gaza after having had the pleasure of blasting a few more score of civilians, including a large percentage of children. The Israeli Army’s latest stunt is to position snipers and tanks around the last functioning major medical facility in Rafah district in the south of Gaza, the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. The Palestinians trying to survive in Gaza were previously ordered by Israel to go to Rafah where they would be “safe” but it was a self-serving lie and the military then proceeded to bomb and shoot civilians, even when they were trying to surrender, and also destroying infrastructure like hospitals and schools to make the area uninhabitable. The army in Gaza’s snipers have now joined in the fun by shooting doctors and patients inside the building and on the grounds to force Nasser Hospital to evacuate and shut down. They followed up on the shooting gallery by storming the hospital, allegedly in search of “hostages.” It is all part of what is developing as Netanyahu has announced that the ground invasion of Rafah will soon begin even though the encaged Palestinians, who are already starving due to the Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid, have nowhere to go and many more thousands will die one way or another.

As a taste of what is to come that is even more bizarre than what has already transpired, Israel’s “most moral army in the world” has now also gone into the entertainment business. It has begun to invite groups of Israeli civilians into detention centers and prisons that have been holding West Bank Palestinian prisoners as well as detainees from the Gaza Strip. The civilians are able to observe the detainees, stripped to their underwear, and laugh and jeer as the men are being beaten, humiliated and tortured, with many of the viewers also allowed to film what is happening on their own cell phones to share with their friends and families. Mike Pompeo, who is a Christian Zionist of dispensationalist persuasion, believes that the former Palestine belongs to the Israelis because it says so in the Bible, which he has carefully “studied.” He also, while Trump’s Secretary of State, declared that the US no longer regards the illegal Israeli settlements on the West Bank as “illegal” and he similarly approved of the Israeli annexation of the Syrian Golan Heights as perfectly acceptable under international law, which it is not. Wonder what Mike as a self-identified pious Christian thinks about all those dead and mutilated Palestinian babies if he ever chooses to think about it at all?

Also in the running for god-awful narrative of the week was a piece claiming that the successful first step by way of a majority vote in the House of Representatives to bring about the richly deserved impeachment of Department of Homeland Security’s ghastly Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday was the result of an “antisemitic conspiracy theory” because he is a “Sephardic Jew,” not due to his own incompetence which he has been demonstrating regularly for the past three years. The deep hole of depression that I crawled into as I watched the fat twerp Pompeo cavorting while the midget Mayorkas touted his Jewish credentials drove me to rethink the whole issue of US foreign and national security policy. I came to the conclusion that the players are caricatures and it should not be taken seriously and should instead be regarded as a comedy routine, something like Monty Python but terribly lethal and without the intelligence and wit of John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman.

To be sure the Biden administration can always be counted upon to produce a laugh, particularly when it brings on the clowns named Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Karine Jean-Pierre and Jake Sullivan. There has been a lot of funny stuff lately, most particularly the chatter about a solution to the Palestinian genocide, even though Biden seems quite comfortable to let the Israelis finish their ethnic cleansing of Gaza before anyone looks for a place willing acquire two million more stateless and homeless Palestinians. Former presidential aspirant and totally owned Zionist stooge Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has already declared that no Palestinians should be allowed into the US as refugees as they are “antisemites.”

Nevertheless, Biden and Blinken’s State Department want to come up with some kind of formula, if only because the worldwide blowback due to the White House’s unflinching support for Israeli brutality has begun to have consequences as it constitutes complicity in crimes against humanity. Some kind of limited sovereignty, disarmed for sure, allowed to Palestine is envisioned but Netanyahu and his political allies, long opposed to a two-state solution, have recently repeatedly rejected proposals for any Palestinian sovereign entity. Israel is even now using its formidable lobby and international press/narrative control to work assiduously against any diplomatic recognition of a Palestinian state by individual countries or as a full member at the UN. Not surprisingly, the greatest effort to keep things on track is being directed against voices raised in support of Palestine in the United States. Biden is listening to be sure and is having both Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan carefully coordinate every step the administration takes with the Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs and former ambassador to Washington Ron Dermer. Even though Israel and Netanyahu definitely hold the whip hand, the president is nevertheless inevitably looking over his shoulder and is fearful of alienation of voters with the national election coming up if the carnage in Gaza continues. Not for the first time the endless farce of US internal politics will likely at least somewhat influence what eventually takes place in countries six thousand miles away. And given Biden’s propensity to avoid doing the right thing, one can be pretty sure that the result won’t be pretty!

    Israel and its mafia white Jew supremacists are an open and shut case of blatant illegal activities such as murder, land theft, and many other atrocities against Palestinians and others in the middle east. They get away with it because as Ariel Sharon said in 2001, “we the Jewish people control America”. Sharon openly bragged about killing 700 Palestinians with one blow. Rabbis have said that it’s sad that the Jews can’t kill Palestinians with impunity because, in Jewish eyes, Palestinians aren’t human; they are animals.

    “Has AIPAC Corrupted The US Government?”
    Yes, of course. Totally, absolutely, and completely.
    You could argue that USgov was already corrupted, or that the many other Jewish and zionist organisations do even more harm than AIPAC does, but why quibble?
    Can America eradicate these foreign agents?

      APAC was formed in 1963. However, Jewish control of the US had been in place many decades prior to that. APAC was just another brick in the wall. Around 1914 the US banking system was literally given to the Jews and prior to that they had a lot of influence in government. As far back as George Washington Jews were meddling in government. It can be said that Jewish influence in the US controls both the economy and the political system.

        Is part of history that JFK was no friend of Israel or Zionism, he not only refused PM Ben Gurion request for nuclear technology, but told him that he was going to order frequent inspections at Dimona, the Israeli center of investigation, to make sure that they didn’t develop the technology on their own. This event cost Ben Gurion his post as PM and JFK his life as part of the conspiracy to kill him. LBJ changed all that the next day that he took power after killing Kennedy. Then we had the Vietnam War that JFK opposed and the Israeli attack on the US spy ship Liberty in June 1967 that almost sank the ship, and survivors were shot in the water by Jewish gunboats like sitting ducks. This incident was hidden by Johnson and the traitors at the Pentagon until this very day.

    Slightly off topic, but highly relevant. I want to share this because it is jaw dropping. Tucker Carlson just interviewed Mike Benz about USA world wide censorship:-

    There is too much information there. Do I believe it? I think I do!

      Speaking of censorship, there was an article about Elon musk recently who is actually becoming afraid for his life. His father spoke out about it and so has Elon spoken about it. Ever since he bought Twitter and tried to turn it into an open forum, there have been political and other forces attacking him viciously. At this point in time the article mentioned that he was, in fact, fearing for what they might do to him. Certainly his fear is founded on reality, take a look at Julian assange and others. For sure the US government does not want Twitter to be an open forum where people could speak the truth about the government or other things. Overall, Elon musk seems like a decent person, and decent people don’t last long in front of the US government.

    Couldn’t resist commenting about the massive amount of money given to Ukraine for their attempts to beat Russia in war. Giving them money and believing that money will cause victory for Ukraine would be like giving money to me believing that the money would give me the strength to beat Mohammed Ali. Please believe me when I say God himself couldn’t help me in a fight with Mohammed Ali. Somebody needs to explain why my congressmen believe money for Ukraine will beat Russia in a war. The US can’t beat Russia in a war. Given the stupidity of the people in our government it’s probable that we taxpayers are in very serious trouble. Of course, with leadership like Victoria Nuland and Anthony Blinken there is no doubt that we are in serious trouble.

    It is more than apparent that whatever AIPAC can get away with today will be visited upon even more other countries in the future. The psychos orchestrating the kabuki are chalking up their little ‘victories’ day-by-day. So far, the majority of the sheeple are distracted by their many ‘toys’ and other status-symbols. How else could America, Canada and the UK have become the Sodom and Gomorrah cesspits that they have?
    So, … “Has AIPAC Corrupted The US Government?” Damn right they have …

    INVENTION, WEAPONIZATION, AND USE

    The USA invented, weaponized, then used the atomic bomb. Germany invented, weaponized, then used Nazism. Judaism invented, weaponized, then used Zionism. Zionist Judaism = Nazi Germany.

    Most attempts to separate the weaponization/use of the invention from the inventor are done for devious purposes. In the case of Judaism, the intention is to separate Jews from the horrible outcomes that Judaism must share responsibility for. The intention is to instill in the public and government the idea that Zionism is separate from Judaism; that Zionists are something different from Jews; that criticism of the Israeli Jews must be separate from criticism of Jews.

    I don’t know if there were attempts to isolate Germans from Nazism at any time in history. I never heard WWII veterans say that they were only fighting Nazis and not Germans. But we know all of Germany was held responsible for their Nazi invention. History demands that ‘The Allies fought Germany,” even though not every allied soldier fought a German and not every single German fought in the war. Thus, Palestinians have always been fighting Jews, The Tribe, and it greatly demeans their monumental struggle by saying it’s only against Israel.

    But such deception wasn’t always the case. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, it was clear to the world that Jews were in conflict with the indigenous peoples of Palestine, often called Arabs, and it was often called the “Arab/Jew conflict.” There was no attempt then by Jews to hide from their violent activity and goals. The UN Partition Plan, Resolution 181, on 29-Nov-1947 was the start of the overt Arab/Jew war, and throughout the document the two contentious parties are labelled Arabs and Jews. Nowhere is there mentioned the word “Israel.”

    On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, a profound bigot and the head of the “Jewish Agency,” proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel for all Jews. And from then on, popular histories such as Wikipedia now refer to the conflict as the “Arab-Israeli conflict.” Are we supposed to believe that on that fateful day, Jews disappeared? Or that all political efforts of the Tribe ceased?

    It’s a lie, simply because the Jewish Tribe never let up its political and material maintenance of the fascist Jewish state. From 1948 to today, the Israeli Jews could never conduct their genocidal campaign without the support of the Jewish community outside Israel.

    It’s The Tribe, stupid.

    And this is the only logical explanation why now the USA and other western powers have chosen to assist The Tribe in its genocide of Palestinians.

    AIPAC is only one of 370 Jewish political organizations, albeit very powerful, and it’s thus used as a straw man and scapegoat for the crimes of the Tribe. As long as political pundits keep hiding these facts, their writings succumb to the constant lies of The Tribe and we will never approach a resolution.

    We cannot bring a perpetraitor to justice unless we identify who it is.

    The link below lists over 370 Jewish political organizations, giving evidence for the humongous political reach of Jew Power into western governments and western societies, both Jew and Goyim.

    …. Palestine belongs to the Israelis because it says so in the Bible…
    And it’s only the Bible that says so.
    Perhaps people should start reading material written by other countries’ writers, but make sure you get a book translation from reliable writer unless you know Latin, Greek or Persian.

      What are you referring to when you say “Bible”. The OT, Pentateuch, Torah or the latest Amazon edition of the political zionist inspired revisions? The first attemots at writing a jewish bible would not have occurred piror to their fortunate experience as “captives” in Babylonia where they learned the language and written forms of the time – a cuneiform likely derived from Akkadian, or Assyrian, or Chaldean (aka Kaldaya) or finally the lingua franca – Aramaic. Until then they knew f-all about writing. In fact, if you do some research you’ll find the various tribal nomads of the west Asian peninsula all had the skills to write eipigraphic graffito and all were different scripts. The normads were more capable than the settled peoples except the Babylonians whose writing evolved.

      If you want the originals, you’ll have find the Yehudu tablets (cuneiform) and if on papyrus it would have been Aramaic. Arabic dialects were only oral until they began to use the Aramaic script and then adapted that to form the Quranic Arabic. There ain’t no hebrew language. There was a mutually intelligible set of dialects spoken in the land of Can’an and those who tried to differentiate themselves as unique called it Hebrew. But the word Hebrew derives from the Aramaic word Ibri, meaning he crossed over the river – the Euphrates.

      Throw away everything you know and look for a webiste that explains the evolution of language in the entire west Asian Peninsula where there were many peoples who eventually all accepted Arabic with the Quran beause it was only written in Arabic so the language accompanied Islamization. There was no Hebrew language in pre-Islamic times and that is centuries after the fables of the “hebrew bible”.

      This explains it all https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z3R3yponzM&pp=ygUPYWhtZWQgYWwgamFsbGFk
      But you’ll need a good attention span.

        In fact Aramaic comes from Aram (Ancient Syria), how many ignorant people realize that Damascus is probably the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth, and Syria one of the oldest civilizations in history. Jesus and all the illiterate lower class Palestinians including the Hebrew tribe, spoke Aramaic since the Hebrew dialect was hard to learn and only used by priests and rabbis.

          Actually the Classical Biblical Hebrew is really only a dialect of the common languages in ancient Can’an. It is not heard to learn. It was still commonly spoken in the Hills of Judah by most in the mid 1940s and still by some of the older Palestinian survivors.

          All Palestinians contintued to speak the dialect that had a substraum of Canaanite and Aramaic except for those who were “putting on airs” and in the 1940s learned modern Arabic. It is easy to learn the Aramaiuc script and to pronounce it correctly. If you’re interested, go to Mechon-Mamre.org and click on the link that says “listen to this chapter”. Once you learn the ARAMAIC ALPHABET which is what was used for biblical Hebrew you can read it. The only difficult part is that some of the consonants WHICH ARE STILL IN COMMON USE IN NEARLY ALL ARABIC DIALECTS TODAY.

          Modern Hebrew is grossly oversimplified and is based on Yiddish of old Germanic and Ukrainian commond language of Yiddish. Also check out the kinds of cuisine the early Yiddish migrants to Palestine used to have until they also stole the palestinian cuisine and labelled it israeli.

          Yiddish influences on the hodge podge they now call modern Hebrew is especially confirmed by the way modern Hebrew pronounces the consonant R with the uvular sound. All those in the Meditrranean region and NW Arabian Peninsula since earliest spoken languages always used the trilled R like that of the vulgate Latin, retained in today’s Hispanic languages, and still used even in Scotland. the Uvular R used by Israelis today is from the Yiddish.

          Biblical Hebrew and the ARAMAIC alphabet it uses are simple, consistent and easy to learn. Once you lern the ‘ayin, as well as the intermedia H (not KH) it’s easy. Imperial Aramaic was the lingua franca because it was so easy and it was used throughout the Achaemenid Persian empire among which was the Levant some of ancient Anatoia and Egypt. The earliest form, the Old or Imerial Aramaic also used the “ch” digraph which, until recently, used to be common among the Gulf Arab states who now deny their Persian influence and have adopted modern standard Arabic which is pretentious.

          Ancient Persians, Ironically, were among the most scholarly grammarians of both Arabic and Aramaic although modern Persian uses Farsi. The grammar and phonemes are similar in both Arabic which grew out of the Aramaic. Zionists lie about everything so they delude people that Classical Hebrew difficult when it is not. I repeat, it was only a dialect – how else to explain that Naomi left Bethlehem with her husband and son, went to Moab and then Naomi came back with her daughter-in-law Ruth the Moabite who ws the G-grandmother of David? Read the Book of Ruth.The primary language of ancient Canaan was mutually intelligible with dialects throughout the region including ancient Hebrew as merely one of many Canaanite dialects.

          Zionists simplified the “hebrew” to enable newcomers to learn it quickly but the most common language remains Yiddish or American eEnglish! is for modern Israelis to speak the true ancient language they claim is Hebrew. Modern Hebrew borrows most of its stucture and much of its vocabulary from Arabic while claimin it’s Hebrew. That’s what they do – take what thet want and misrepresent it. Some would call that identity theft, culutual appropriate and a number of other falsifications.

    If President Biden is not competent to stand trial for breeching Natl. security, How can he be competent to preside as the President attacking Russia with proxy Ukraine and genociding Gaza with proxy Israel? Kamala Harris is just as disturbing as V.P. and possible replacement of Biden as President. Living in U.S. is like living in Neros Rome. Putin may be an autocrat, but at least he is a competent autocrat. The current US administration are buffoons in charge of a massive global war machine spreading death and destruction in the name of freedom and democracy.
