The Israeli Connection 
OUR BOUGHT AND PAID FOR GOVERNMENT
Posted July 9, 2004 thepeoplesvoice.org

What a great country - everything is for sale! Even our government is available for sale, or at least it was! Foolish, uninformed, stupid taxpayers think the government belongs to them as exchange consideration of our paying taxes to it rather than just the other way around. And they fail to comprehend that our nation's government was available for sale, and of course, to the highest bidder. And that bidder was Israel. The transaction is complete, but we will once again pay the real price in spilled American blood.

But what is even more absurd, and even more outrageous than the simple treason perpetrated by our government against "We the People," is that most of the money used to buy our government out from under US was our own money to begin with! Ten to twenty billion of our taxpayer dollars gets shipped to Israel annually! And Israel determines our foreign policy! They have a stooge in the White House and many more in the United States Congress that are selling US out to advance the interests of Israel and the New World Order

According to an article by Terrell E. Arnold of June 27 posted on Information Clearing House entitled, "Making The World Less Safe For Americans," Arnold offers: "On Wednesday, June 23, the Congress of the United States passed an incredible resolution. By a vote of 407 to 9, the House passed Concurrent Resolution 460 to give total support to Israel's hard right Likud government to annex the great bulk of Palestine and make it part of Israel. The Resolution, which appears to have been passed with little discussion or debate, expressed two main thoughts:

It strongly endorses the April 14, 2004 George W. Bush letter to Ariel Sharon that gives US approval to Israeli Likud plans for the West Bank and Gaza.

It supports efforts to build Palestinian institutions to fight terrorism that will 'prevent the areas from which Israel has withdrawn from posing a threat to Israel.'

But the really devastating language of this resolution is in the whereas clauses, those statements made to justify the resolution. Those clauses in summary affirm that: President Bush and Ariel Sharon already have made a deal, and the Palestinians, the United Nations, and all third parties no longer have anything to say on the subject. 'The United States will do its utmost to prevent any attempt by anyone to impose any other plan.'"

This folks, is a treaty! What's wrong with it? As usual, with the secret Bush regime, it is constitutionally unsanctioned and unauthorized. Legalistically speaking, of course, it is not a constitutional violation because a treaty can only be entered into law [The Constitution] via Article II [powers of the president], Section 2, paragraph 2, and Article VI, Paragraph 2 [treaty supremacy], and then only by a two-thirds majority of the Senate. And Bush has no intention of consulting with, nor seeking the "advise and consent" of the people's upper house in any way, shape, or form. And it is, in fact, only a resolution, so its passage by the House is therefore neither law nor binding upon the American people.

But that is not its intent. Intimidation and innuendo are the motivating factors - the world, especially the Arab world in the Middle East, has just been served notice that this is an extension of the "with-US-or-agin'-US" Bush doctrine of the New World Order, the one-government affirmation of intended global conquest on the part of the real Axis of Evil: Israel, the United States and Great Britain.

Again Arnold quoting some of the language of this so-called resolution: "'The United States remains committed to the security of Israel - and to preserving and strengthening the capability of Israel to deter enemies and defend itself.'" Arnold continues, "Stripped of any polite language, this resolution is a total commitment of the President and the Congress of the United States to the creation of the Zionist dream of a greater Israel."

Americans will pay dearly for this treason perpetrated by the Bush-Zionist connection that dates back to, and is irrevocably connected to, Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. And once again, as in the unconstitutional USA Patriot Act I and II, and along with the unconstitutional and unnecessary war in Iraq, the Bush crime family continues its unchecked dominion over this once great, free nation and its formerly untarnished and world-coveted morality and integrity. American government has sold out America and its people, bought and paid for with American taxpayer money channeled through Israel and via taxpayer breaks and tax exemptions for "America's" most powerful political lobby: the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC].

As documented on their website Boycott Israel Campaign, in an article entitled "The way lobbies operate in the US," by Mohammed Alkhereiji, the writer offers: "The most powerful US lobby is [AIPAC]. In 1999, Fortune Magazine named it the second most powerful lobby in Washington after the American Association for Retired Persons [AARP]. After World War II, a strong feeling of sympathy developed in the US for Jews. Realizing this, the American Jewish community saw the creation of a Jewish state as the ultimate security for Jews all over the world. This led to the formation of the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs in 1951, which later changed its name to AIPAC in order to keep up with America's 'politically correct' climate."

Alkhereiji points out, "A huge factor in AIPAC's success comes from its support from the Jewish community across America. Jewish Americans are wealthy and politically active." Additionally, Alkhereiji points out that AIPAC is tax-exempt, and it is one of AIPAC's primary objectives to remain so. Perhaps this explains the Zionist's use of the smear tactic of "anti-Semitism," hiding behind religion and thereby silencing opposition to their tax breaks.

In his May 21 piece on Ether Zone, "Senator Hollings is Right," Justin Raimondo wrote: "Isn't it funny how politicians have to wait until just before going into retirement to say what they really think about Israel and it's influence over Washington policymakers? Congressman Lee Hamilton (D-Illinois), formerly the senior Democrat on the House International Relations Committee, waited until after announcing his departure from Congress to attend a symposium on the Middle East, where he noted that his congressional colleagues are 'not even-handed' when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 'for political reasons.' Rep. Hamilton went on to say: 'Israeli leaders understand our system very, very well [and] because they understand our system they can exploit it.'"

Raimondo continues, "Rep. Sonny Callahan (R-Alabama) earned the ire of Tel Aviv's lobby by opposing 'emergency aid' to Israel. In a speech on the House floor, a clearly angered Callahan lashed out at the Amen Corner: 'I am going to offer amendments as we go through the bill to strike all of the aid to Israel that was included here without any request from Israel, without any request from the administration, without any requests from anybody. But someone within this beltway decided since we were going to have a supplemental bill, they were going to get some pork in it for Israel.' Please note that Callahan did this only after announcing his retirement plans. 

Now Senator Ernest Hollings, whose legendary disdain for political correctness has gotten him in trouble before, has joined the ranks of the belatedly honest, and said what a few others - such as Michael Kinsley, Pat Buchanan and myself - have said all along. In an op ed piece first published in the Charleston Post and Courier, the Senator, having just announced his retirement, took up the question of why are we in Iraq, and came up with this answer: 'Now everyone knows what was not the cause. Even President Bush acknowledges that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11. Listing the 45 countries where al-Qaida was operating on September 11 (70 cells in the U.S.), the State Department did not list Iraq. Richard Clarke, in Against All Enemies, tells how the United States had not received any threat of terrorism for 10 years from Saddam at the time of our invasion. Of course there were no weapons of mass destruction. Israel's intelligence, Mossad, knows what's going on in Iraq. They are the best. They have to know. Israel's survival depends on knowing. Israel long since would have taken us to the weapons of mass destruction if there were any or if they had been removed. With Iraq no threat, why invade a sovereign country? The answer: President Bush's policy to secure Israel.'"

When will President George W. Bush be impeached? Every fighting man and woman who comes back to US in a flag-draped pine box, events cooperatively kept secret by our Zionist owned and operated corporate media, died for Israel, and not America. That's treason, because Bush lied US into that war and for absolutely no political or military advantage for America. Right after the mid-April Bush-Sharon meeting, Israeli troops started attacking peaceful Palestinian villages. Troops were mobilized to remove Palestinians brutally from their homes. Those that didn't leave their residences were crushed to death Nazi-style by Israeli bulldozers while still inside their homes. Recall the bulldozer crushing and murder of Rachel Corrie back on March 16, 2003. The Israeli bulldozer murderer said he didn't see her, but reality tells US he knew she was in front of the machine.

The Zionist butchers didn't see the Palestinians they crushed to death in their homes either. And when Palestinians demonstrated peacefully in street demonstrations, Bush and Sharon offered that the technique used by the Israeli military to employ crowd control, namely firing American-supplied missiles from American-supplied helicopters into defenseless civilians, was justified because the Israelis were merely defending themselves. That smacks of the kind of rationale made famous by Hitler and his invading Nazis.

In her article "The Jewish Divide on Israel," posted on The Nation website June 24th, Esther Kaplan writes, "For a glimpse of how Israel plays out in an American election year, recall the day in September when then-Democratic presidential frontrunner Howard Dean told reporters he would like to see the United States take an 'even-handed' approach to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Thirty-four Congressional Democrats responded by sending Dean a harsh letter questioning whether he shared their 'unequivocal support for Israel's right to exist,' and anonymous e-mails inundated Jewish listservs, accusing him of abandoning Israel."

Kaplan goes on to say that Democrat John Kerry faced the same Zionist intimidation when in New York back in February. "Hannah Rosenthal, executive director of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs and one of the few liberals invited, said she had her hand in the air, ready to ask questions about civil rights, poverty and the erosion of the church/state divide, but she was avoided by the facilitators, and the meeting shaped up as a single-agenda affair. 'The central issue, no matter how they came at it, was, 'Are you going to be there for Israel in these difficult times?' Rosenthal recalls'"

Kaplan points out that Kerry took the cue. "During the meeting, he backed off from earlier statements he'd sent Jimmy Carter (seen by the right as pro-Palestinian) to the region to jump-start negotiations, and six weeks later, when George W. Bush, in an agreement with Ariel Sharon [April 14 letter], accepted Jewish settlements as permanent and renounced Palestinian
refugees' right of return, Kerry immediately endorsed it."

Kaplan provides additional events where organized Zionism and its fervent activism make their presence known. She offers the annual AIPAC conference in Washington on May 18th, where the audience frequently interrupted President Bush's speech there with frequent ".cheering and chants of 'Four more years!'" Kaplan then offers, "In practice, this solid consensus [bi-partisan support for Israel] means putting Israeli security before peace; supporting even such extreme Israeli measures as the separation wall and assassinations; and delegitimizing the Palestinian leadership."

All Americans can readily see the folly of supporting one nation over another - the nation on the outs with America will align US as the enemy. As Kaplan has pointed out, it becomes Israeli sovereignty and security over everything else. And as AIPAC would like US to believe, Israel is a "democracy." But they are not very democratic when it comes to non-Jews residing in Israel. They are not very democratic when they brutally fire high-explosive deadly missiles into unarmed and non-threatening crowds. They are not democratic when they bury people alive in their homes Nazi style. And just like the Nazis, they promote "Israel over everything;" the Nazi Germans offered "Deutschland über alles," which is exactly the same sentiment.

Currently, the Israeli spy and intelligence operation, Mossad, which specializes in murder, assassinations, propaganda and event-manipulation, is in full and aggressive operation in Northern Iraq, working feverishly to separate the Kurds from Iraqi sovereignty. In his June 21st article in The New Yorker, Seymour M. Hersh reports that Israeli leaders aren't happy with the outcome of the war they helped the Bush administration to launch. Now, Sharon and Israel's war-mongering Likud party have decided that corrective action is required, and of course, Israel is once again employing stealth and spookology taking advantage of stupid America and its easily bought politicians.

Hersh and others have warned that Israeli intelligence activity and their involvement in attempting to support a Kurdish uprising might ignite the entire Middle East region. But that's precisely what the war-mongering Zionists want. Consider how they dragged US into the two previous World Wars. So what's another world war? It's now Israel über alles, and a powerful war machine needs oil. What's there to lose - members of stupid America's military? Let's order Bush, Democrats and Republicans to pass legislation to bring back a draft! There are lots of young people available in America. And Israel will help out by ensuring that its Zionist corporate media doesn't publicize the parade of flag-draped caskets in return.
