The Military Industrial Cartel and banking/finance cartel have managed to bankrupt the United States. Traditionally the country has had a natural competitive advantage in that we have a greater percentage of land suitable for cultivation than any other on earth. The US shows a surplus of natural resources and should always be a relatively wealthy nation.
When do we get back to our roots and throw off the chains of debt slavery?
How can we trace an obscure document written by a minor government official in Israel in 1982 directly to waging constant war on the part of the United States in the Middle East where clearly we have no strategic interest? Why is the United States fighting wars on behalf of a foreign country? Why don't they fight their own wars?
A small group of dual-national Jews led by Richard Perle wrote a position paper for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 1996. Perle's study group included Douglas Feith, David Wurmser and others who would later join forces working in the Bush administration prior to 9/11.
The document titled, "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" said, "Rather than pursuing a 'comprehensive peace' with the entire Arab world, Israel should work jointly with Jordan and Turkey to 'contain, destabilize, and roll-back' those entities that are threats to all three."
Even Netanyahu realized that his advisors had gone too far and were suggesting wars of aggression forbidden by the Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. "To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime." He did nothing to implement the suggestions of the group.
So they took their circus on a road show to the United States where the same dual-national individuals repackaged their suggestion of a new perpetual war into the Project for a New American Century, saying, "The United States should strengthen ties with its democratic allies, 'challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values,' and preserve and extend 'an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles.'"
The PNAC suggested, "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."
They got their "new Pearl Harbor" on 9/11. Initially supported by the rest of the world, the US embarked on a series of perpetual wars, all based on lies, none of which were in the interests of the US. Over twenty years has passed.
If some dual-national US-Israeli citizens advocated wars of aggression for Netanyahu in 1996 and continued in 1998 and 2000 with the PNAC eventually starting with the illegal invasion of Iraq based on a series of lies, just who did they owe their primary allegiance to? Was it the US or was it Israel?
In the afternoon of 9/11 the FBI took custody of several Mossad agents who had set up a dummy moving and storage company in New Jersey across the Hudson River from New York City. They were caught dancing and celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers and got tossed into jail for a few months before being deported back to Israel.
In the FBI interview of a former Urban Moving Systems employee who wasn't Jewish, he reported that he quit his job at the Mossad front prior to 9/11 "due to high amount of anti-American sentiment present among Urban's employees." One of the Israeli employees had even once remarked, "Give us twenty years and we'll take over your media and destroy your country."
As an aside, it should be clear to any thinking person that Hillary Clinton and her partners in crime, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, have been granted some kind of "Get out of Jail" card by the FBI and Department of Justice. All three have been caught lying to Congress and to the FBI but curiously never faced any sort of legal charges.
What if Hillary Clinton knew exactly who was really behind 9/11 and threatened to blow the whistle if she was brought up on charges? Anyone dumb enough to believe nineteen Arabs armed with box cutters who couldn't even land a plane were behind 9/11 must by definition be stupid enough to conceive that Jeffery Epstein somehow hung himself while in Federal custody just having come off suicide watch.
The relationship between Israel and the US is as dysfunctional and sick as the relationship between Christian Zionists and Jewish Zionists. The Christian Zionists believe that the Bible requires that the Jews return to Palestine and establish Israel before the 2nd Coming of Christ can take place. When Christ somehow returns, the Christian Zionists all go directly to heaven and the Jewish Zionists who don't convert go straight to hell.
The Jewish Zionists on the other hand believe in a basic "Israel over everyone" political philosophy. It is a part of their religion that Jesus was a false prophet and along with his mother should be boiled for eternity. It's a marriage made in heaven between Jewish Zionists and Christian Zionists. Not.
Likewise, the State of Israel, it's a state, not really a country, would like to dominate the Middle East. I call Israel a state because countries have borders and obey international law. Israel has no borders and ignores all international law. But everyone in the Middle East would like to be the top dog. That's true of Iraq, Iran, Turkey; I suppose Bahrain would like to rule the area if only it could. Israel is no different in their desire than their neighbors.
Where the relationship between the US and Israel becomes twisted and evil is when Israel's natural desire to rule the Middle East combines with a Military Industrial Cartel in the US who loves fighting meaningless wars and unlimited spending on new toys that don't work.
The generals and admirals at the top realize that when they retire, there will always be a highly paid directorship or consulting agreement as long as they continue to press for more and more spending on complex equipment. Who cares if the toys work or not?
There is one and only one valid reason for war. You should fight a war only to achieve peace. War is criminal for any other reason. And expensive in all cases.
The US hasn't fought a war to achieve peace since WW I. The US fights wars to fight wars.
One of these generals was a famed and experienced leader of troops in combat. The other is planning on applying for a job as a bellhop in a hotel in the Balkans.
Washington DC is an echo chamber. Those ruling the US or running the military believe they are superior in all ways to the rest of the country and indeed, the world. They make a constant mistake of talking to each other and even more dangerously, listening to each other. They believe in their hearts that not only should they rule the world, but that they were destined because of their innate superiority to dominate all of humanity no matter how distant.
Israel on the other hand is more pragmatic. They treat the US as their own stupid but lethal attack chihuahua. Benjamin Netanyahu makes no bones about what the relationship is between the US and his government. "I know what America is. America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in our way."
Israel is a wealthy nation with a large and prosperous middle class. It has an economy on par with that of either South Korea or Spain. Yet the US provides far more military aid to Israel than to any other country, $3.8 billion per year. Israel in turn sends a portion of those funds back to the US to bribe Congress.
How effective is Israel in dominating US policy? Well, twenty-eight states require a loyalty oath to Israel as a job requirement to either work for the state or to be approved for a contract. You can boycott France or Germany, Turkey or Japan. You can boycott the Pope or Muslims. You can boycott Trump if you wish or Schiff and Trump at the same time. It's all perfectly legal and allowed under the 1st Amendment.
But in twenty-eight states you cannot boycott Israel.
Now that's power.
In fact, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law against anti-Semitism and called Florida "the most Israel-friendly state in the country."
I know of no nation in history of such a tiny country of such meaningless proportions who managed to dominate the most powerful and richest country in the world. It has never happened.
But it's not a healthy relationship and will result in the destruction of both countries. Israel gets away with murder because the US buys the bullets and fights their wars for them. If Israel had to stand on their own two feet, they would learn to become a better neighbor
Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to William Branch Giles in 1825 warning of "a single and splendid government of an Aristocracy, founded on banking institutions and monied in corporations under the guise and cloak of their favored branches of manufactures commerce and navigation, riding and ruling over the plundered ploughman and beggared yeomanry."
He was trying to warn of the dangers of a new elite class of banking interests that would bankrupt ordinary citizens of the working class. We are there. We have entered the Greatest Depression in history with estimates that 20% of world commerce will disappear and US unemployment could soar to as high as 32%.
In the movie The Big Short, one of the characters was quoted as saying that for every one percent increase in unemployment resulted in 40,000 additional deaths. He was pretty close.
That would be more deaths due to financial mismanagement and fraud than deaths of Americans in all the wars we have ever fought in history.
How the banking and financial system looted the US treasury, left Americans destitute and what we can do about it.
