A Nation Compromised
AND A PEOPLE NOT REPRESENTED!

Of course, there is a serious renewed international outrage against both the
United States and Israel. Those who would dumb down America will simply
offer the justified outrage as anti-Semitism. But something had to happen
to ignite international rebuke of both America and Israel, and that
something is our unjust, unconstitutional and totally unnecessary invasion
and war on the people of Iraq.
If the Bush family, a family that has grown obscenely wealthy over almost a
century of war industry profiteering that dates back to World War I, had a
personal problem with Saddam Hussein, it would have spared many a life and
avoided many a maiming and the horrid loss of the Iraqi peoples homes,
businesses and infrastructure, if the CIA just did what it does best:
arrange for Saddam's assassination. But our unmerciful slaughter and our
rendering of the Iraqi people socially dependent upon our military by
deliberately impoverishing them and destroying their country is completely
unforgivable. It is an irremovable stain upon that which was once the
greatest nation in the world.
We are now a merciless, fascist, police state superpower controlled by a
cabal of unaccountable politicians who take ALL their orders from another
smaller fascist police state; namely, the ethnocidal, imperialistic and most
dangerous nuclear power, Israel. A reader wrote me, "I was never down on
Israel, but the Iraqi situation brings Israel's dominance of our foreign
policy to a higher, renewed level of scrutiny." Not many, myself included,
ever denied "Israel's right to exist." That has never been an issue with
me, even though I might have had some misgivings about anything originating
as an international policy decision from the United Nations.
But the recent and total transformation of American foreign policy, for the
sole benefit of Israel over the Palestinian people's rights, calls into
question the chief instigator of Israeli-Palestinian hostilities. Israel
has totally converted American government and its military to serve only
their policy initiatives and decisions with hardly any visible consequences
for themselves for wrong-headed warmongering and international provocation.
The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC], a normally clever and
astonishingly effective lobbying group now embroiled in an FBI
investigation, is a very curious anomaly. Why must Israel spy on US? is a
totally valid question when considering the close ties our intelligence
community has had with Israel's. And if they were spying on America, so
what? Aren't they after all, our ally?
When considering these queries, one must advance one's thinking to the
current state of American international political affairs as well as changed
domestic policies. We are no longer a constitutionally limited republic of
free men and women; we are a socialist democracy increasingly identified by
its secret government manipulations that is converting US into to a
dictatorial police state. The recent aggressive police actions at both the
Democratic and Republican conventions, and the machine-gun toting and
helmeted police in our streets and airports, are proof. Terrorism,
primarily generated by Israel, has caused this political conversion in
America.
Our intelligence community now decides America's foreign policy in secret.
Secret policy initiatives have replaced not only foreign negotiations and
diplomacy protocols, but also our own policy decisions on such vital matters
as regards the declaration of war against another nation. That is now
decided by a secret cabal and then initiated by a dictator without the
previously in-place constitutional requirement of requesting the US Congress
to do so. And that secret cabal is controlled by a foreign power, and
executes policy by trickery, assassination, sabotage, and deliberately
planted false intelligence.
It is the deliberate planting of false intelligence that is at work in this
current intelligence investigation by the FBI of AIPAC and Israel. The
secret Pentagon cabal, the Project for the New American Century, an
outgrowth of a neoconservative war-mongering policy group loyal to Israel,
is the generating source of the current clandestine policy and planned event
manipulation to justify an attack on Iran. This is precisely the same way
PNAC generated false intelligence to invade Iraq. This investigation is
precisely what was needed to stop yet another unjust, unnecessary and
unconstitutional war against an innocent nation targeted by Israel.
If this opportunity is lost, it will be due to the unconscionable,
deliberate downplay and cover-up of this blessed event by our Zionist-led
media. Just as was the case with the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, one element
of the mainstream media, namely CBS, broke ranks with The New York Times to
give US this opportunity. Lets not blow it!
