TEL AVIV AND THE OBAMA PRIZE
WAS THE PRIZE RIGGED?
By Jeff Gates STAFF WRITER
The Nobel Committee again piqued the interest of those who marvel at the impact of an annual ritual of global branding that in 1973 labeled Henry Kissinger a peace laureate! As with many aspects of unconventional warfare, what emerges in the foreground often obscures behavior that remains concealed in the background.
Anyone paying attention knows that pro-Israelis manipulated the intelligence that induced the U.S. to invade Iraq. That same source is now hoping to expand this war to Iran-without being detected. In an irony of epic proportions, this award may enable that deceit.
Pundits charge that Barack Obama was given the 2009 peace prize for Not Being Bush. The Nobel Committee cited Obama’s multilateralism in contrast to Bush’s unilateralism. Yet the same pro-Israeli networks that deployed phony intelligence to manipulate decision-making in the Bush presidency remain active inside the Obama presidency. At least Bush had the mass murder of 9-11 to rationalize his choices.
The manipulation of consensus beliefs discredited the U.S. when it went to war on fixed intelligence. A similar mental manipulation generated consensus support for trade and financial policies that systematically devastated the U.S. economy. The challenge for Tel Aviv is how best to continue its agenda for Greater Israel now that the manipulation of public opinion has grown more transparent-and when entire communities, reeling from the impact of massive financial frauds, are aware that something fundamental is amiss.
Those consensus-enabled frauds include the savings and loan bust of the 1980s, the dotcom crash of 2000 and the recent subprime mortgage meltdown with its massive bailout of Wall Street’s financial elite. In the mid-1990s, a similar consensus-enabled fraud impoverished tens of millions of Russians while leaving a legacy of oligarchs in its wake.
In a nation whose population, like the U.S., is less than two percent Ashkenazim, six of Russia’s seven richest oligarchs (84%) qualify for Israeli citizenship. Similarly, a list of the top 50 neoconservatives advocating war in Iraq reveals 26 (52%) who are Jewish. Likewise a review of Nobel laureates in economic science confirms that the awards largely honor Ashkenazi "Chicago School" economists.
As financial freedom emerged-by consensus-as a proxy for human freedom, this "Chicago" mindset created oligarchies worldwide, undermining both democracies and markets. The model’s fixation on money, since branded the "Washington" consensus, gained global traction as its advocates were lionized as Nobel laureates-discrediting the U.S. in the process.
Obscuring a Criminal State
Consensus beliefs explain how frauds can progress in plain sight as faith-based psy-ops displace facts with what a targeted public can be deceived to accept as true. Deception works the same regardless whether the fraud is a shared belief in Iraqi weapons of mass destruction or a consensus faith in the infallibility of unfettered financial markets. The only modern aspect of this ancient craft is the technological means to defraud on a global scale.
For consensus frauds to become systemic requires lengthy pre-staging and political cooperation. Once a long-deceived public grasps the duplicity at the heart of this mental and emotional manipulation, they will see for themselves its common source-which brings us to this latest Nobel peace prize.
Though Barack Obama conceded he did not deserve it, that misses the point. The primary national security issue he now faces is what strategy to pursue in the quagmire of Afghanistan. His senior military advisers recommend a troop surge to create the stability required for a drawdown of forces.
Others urge a speedy withdrawal. That strategy would leave in place the forces that will reconstitute the Taliban and provide a haven for Al Qaeda there and in neighboring Pakistan. This peace prize complicates the option to escalate. That may well be its purpose.
A quick withdrawal would also help pre-stage a consensus that the next Evil Doer comes from this region. Plus Afghanistan and Pakistan provide a plausible source of serial crises to deflect attention from resolving Israel’s brutal six-decade occupation of Palestine. Thus the enthusiasm for Obama’s award from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
To date, the U.S. has lost ground in every negotiation with this Israeli leader. The issue of settlements was relegated to background noise. At U.S. urging, the U.N. deferred consideration of the Goldstone Report on Gaza despite facts confirming dozens of Israeli war crimes. By pressuring a Palestinian leader to endorse deferral, U.S. diplomats further undermined the prospects for peace. Meanwhile, Jewish extremists are fueling the hostilities required for a third Intifada.
Branding an Asset
With the expansionist goals of Greater Israel yet to be fulfilled, Tel Aviv needs a U.S. president perceived as a mediator akin to peace laureate Mother Teresa. For a laureate to escalate a war conflicts with the Nobel brand. Obama the Peacemaker can now justify the rapid withdrawal sought by pro-Israelis, his political base and Norwegian peaceniks.
In return, he can be portrayed as heroic-for advancing their agenda. Meanwhile Israel can justify a unilateral preemptive attack on Iran using U.S.-provided bunker-buster bombs, plausibly citing self-defense now that the Peace President is conflicted. That attack will ensure the crises required to help obscure the common source of this systemic criminality. Should the U.S. military object, critics can point to a recent record of dissent on troop strength in Afghanistan and on a policy shift on gays in the military.
Any attack in the U.S. or the E.U. will be blamed on crises in the Middle East, enabling critics to charge that Obama capitulated to Europeans who embrace peace at any price. Though Obama is now being lionized, he will then be demonized. The result will discredit his presidency, endanger the U.S. and pave the way for a more militant successor, a strategic victory for Tel Aviv as the next presidency is likewise staffed with Zionists and pro-Israelis.
Barack Obama is a political product of Chicago Ashkenazim who trace directly to Jewish organized crime of the 1920s. This prize may embolden a trans-generational criminal syndicate for whom peace is an obstacle to the perpetual warfare required to advance Colonial Zionist goals.
This award was announced soon after Obama described Israel as "the Jewish state." That code phrase outraged Muslims worldwide, particularly those whose lands are occupied by an apartheid government. Only America’s first African-American president could endorse racist policies certain to push the parties closer to war. Instead of being denounced, he was awarded a Nobel peace prize.
This award is welcome news for a global syndicate scrambling to obscure the common source of the manipulated beliefs that induced war in Iraq-and the common source of the consensus beliefs that enabled financial frauds in the U.S., Russia and worldwide.
To a dispirited public looking for hope, has this Chicagoan been positioned to raise those hopes only to dash them? The facts suggest that this inexperienced commander-in-chief has unwittingly allowed his office to be manipulated by those who mean to make a bad situation worse-possibly far worse.
How can any nation trust that U.S. policy is crafted in Washington and not Tel Aviv? Barack Obama could concede that those who produced his political career are the source of this consensus manipulation. Only with that concession will this prize become deserved.

is a term that has lost any meaning. It has the same information contents as anti-American and national security. None.
When you say "pro-Israeli," you were not speaking of Uri Avnery or Neve Gordon.
I think you have to be more careful in ascribing to an ethical tradition such as Jewry any unanimity in thought or action. None exists.
It’s the rightwing Christians that have me worried. So some of the neocons are Jewish. So what?
You do need to be more careful in describing a malevolent intention to a specific tradition such as Judiasm. It’s been tried before.
Excellent comment. I think we are being played and I come from a Jewish family. One of the reasons we ignore the opposition in Israel is that, to us, they are silenced.
I am curious to see where the Edmonds investigation goes or if it will be quashed.

Thanks for that comment.
In looking for the common denominator, a pro-Israel bias is a constant. While there’s lots of variables lurking around this systemic criminality, that is not one of them. In looking to solve a crime, it’s helpful to examine means, motive, opportunity and, in this case, the presence of stable nation-state intelligence able to operate undetected on the inside of governments. And, as here in the U.S., obscured by those who suggest that this description requires a unanimity in thought or action when all that’s required is a shared bias—including a bias against searching for that common denominator when it’s clear where the evidence leads.
Those most distressed by this phenomenon are moderate, secular and non-Zionist Jews who tell me that the analysis in Guilt By Association (the first release in the Criminal State series) “filled in the blanks” by enabling them to grasp how a few within the few endanger the broader Jewish community by making the community appear…guilty by association. On that point, you are correct; it is not the broader tradition but the Zionist fanatics — and, yes, some of the Christian fanatics are hugely problematic. Faith-based extremism is the feature of governance that the U.S. was founded to escape.
For those who question the common source of this corruption, please search online for several recent op-eds describing the “how” of this trans-generational modus operandi: “How Israel Wages War in Plain Sight,” “How Israel Wages Game Theory Warfare,” “How Israel Lobby Controls U.S. Foreign Policy,” and “How Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal Endangers Us All.” You might also read: “Anti-Zionists: the New Heretics.” To follow the facts of this evidentiary trail wherever they lead risks having oneself branded a heretic. Guilty as charged.
You’ll also find the introduction to Guilt on the Criminal State website and a chapter on John McCain (I live in Arizona). His political career epitomizes how this trans-generational criminal syndicate operates in plain sight through needy personalities (aka “assets”). Please review the confirmed facts and then revisit this analysis.
And, again, thanks for your thoughtful comments. Very much appreciate it.
Hello Jeff Gates,
That’s an insightful article. You mentioned an attack in the U.S. It can be prevented if American’s reads the compelling evidence that strongly suggests the 911 attacks were masterminded by Israel’s Mossad, their intelligence agency. The next attack would probably be another Mossad false flag. America’s should be worried about the Mossad and militant Zionists.
I have created an extensive text with links but perhaps it’s against the rules to place a fairly large text in the comments section. So here is a link that provides an exceptional article which strongly indicates 911 wasn’t masterminded by Muslims but rather by Israelis. http://www.takeourworldback.com/itwasntmuslims.htm
Here is just a little bit of information from my text:
This may be hard to believe but the 911 attacks were not masterminded by Osama bin Laden. If you go to the FBI’s website http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm you will see that Osama bin Laden is wanted for a couple of crimes (flimsy evidence) but not the 911 attacks. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page (30), [Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI] said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” Obviously the FBI realizes the widely viewed confession tape of Osama bin Laden is phony.
WHY IS THE US GOVERNMENT COVERING UP THE LATEST ISRAELI SPY RING? WHAT WAS THE ISRAELI SPY RING DOING THAT IS SUCH A THREAT TO THE US GOVERNMENT THAT THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE OVER A HUNDRED SPIES ESCAPE THAN RISK A PUBLIC TRIAL?
“Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It’s classified information.”
– US official quoted in Carl Cameron’s Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.http://whatreallyhappened.com/WHARTICLES/spyring.html
I hope you and everyone else reads the article.

With all of your seventeen dollar words, they mean nothing, I don’t care what they give Obama. In the final analysis, most of the world is comfortable with a strong Jewish state. I cannot understand how anyone would want Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Irag in charge of anything. So what if Israel manipulates US public opinion, the US presence in the middle east is the only stablizing factor available. If we don’t want WW 3, we had better keep a presence in the area.
When the NATO defense plans were traded to Russia or the USS Liberty attacked, how comfortable were you?
I had a moment of doubt, myself.

all “ancient” history. most of those folks are dead. tell me about right f???ing now! i am a grunt from VN, and i am for dumping the afghan “campaign”. our “in charge” folks are too ignorant to do this. too f???ing ignorant!
if ya want more exclamation points, i can give them to ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where would world affairs be today if John Kennedy had succeeded in 1963 in forcing Israel to submit to international inspections of its nuclear facilities at Dimona? Best estimates are that this Zionist enclave created its first nuclear weapon in 1963-64. Where would world affairs be today if Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman William J. Fulbright had succeeded in 1962-63 in requiring that the Israel lobby register under the foreign agents registration act?
What would have been different? How much might the world community have saved in blood and treasure? How much has this “special relationship” cost the U.S. in stature and hard-earned credibility? If this entangled alliance were put to a nation-wide referendum, what sort of support do you think its continuation might muster? Is that why it has not been put to a vote?
But then, as you say, so what if Israel manipulates public opinion? Informed consent is an oversold attribute, right? Indeed, why consult the populace anyway? What do they know…. Oops, I mean what do We the People know. Apparently not much or we would long ago have severed this relationship. This so-called “state” became precisely what Jewish Zionist lobbyists assured the Christian Zionist Harry Truman that it would not become: a racist, theocratic enclave dead set on an expansionist agenda that was destined to undermine U.S. interests in the region.
To get some historical perspective on this so-called “Jewish state” — I urge a review of Alan Hart’s book titled “Zionism – The Real Enemy of the Jews.” Below is an excerpt from a review:
Zionism and Judaism
Hart has to cover a lot of ground.
He points out that Zionism is not Judaism. Hart describes Zionism as “brutal and cruel [behaviors], driven by self-righteousness of an extraordinary kind, without regard for international law and human rights conventions” which “makes a mockery of the moral values and ethical values of Judaism.”
Hart does not delve deeply into these moral and ethical values of Judaism, but he leaves this reader with the impression that Judaism is an principled faith. However, the laws and morality underlying many religions are often interpreted variously. The late Israel Shahak, a chemistry professor and social justice activist, in his book Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years rued that classical Judaism had been subverted toward profit and Jewish supremacism. I submit that much as no people should be seen as a monolith neither should a religion be regarded as a monolith.
The Legitimacy of a Jewish Claim to the Holy Land
Hart reasons that there is no legitimacy to Israel’s claim to a “right to exist.” Moreover, the Jewish claim to the Holy Land does not hold up under scrutiny.
The bloodlines of the majority of Israeli Jews do not tie them with the Holy Land. Ashkenazim stem from eastern and central Europe and are converts to Judaism. Hart cites the work of Joseph Reinach, Alfred Lilienthal, Arthur Koestler, and Shlomo Sand in outlining this case. The refutation of Jewishness as an ethnicity is important because, quoting Sand, “…it encourages a segregation that separates Jews from non-Jews” that allows Zionists to claim Israel as a Jewish state.
Furthermore, writes Hart, the Mizrahim (Semitic Jews indigenous to the Middle East) were strongly opposed to Zionism.
Hart focuses on two different sets of Jews: Haskala Jews who sought to make the place they lived their home and Zionist Jews who strive to separate Jews and Gentiles. Haskala Jews see themselves threatened by a backlash to crimes committed by Zionist Jews.
Early Zionism
Hart paints a picture of early Zionist history and the roles of early Zionist figures such as Zionism’s “founding father,” Theodr Herzl, key lobbyist, Chaim Weizmann, and the financier of Zionism, Lionel de Rothschild.
Hart details the collaboration of Britain with the Zionists from Arthur Balfour whose letter provided a pretext to dispossess Arabs. The chicanery was such that Britain reneged on its promise to recognize the sovereignty of its WWI Arab allies. Britain, writes Hart, laid the foundations for a Zionist takeover: “Without the British presence Zionism could not have entrenched itself in Palestine. On their own the Palestinians could have pushed the Zionists out.”
Britain went so far as to declare war on the Palestinians and assassinate Palestinian leaders.
All along the way, Zionist Jews were opposed by Haskala Jews who, as history shows, always lost out. After WWII, the Holocaust card was effective at backing down Haskala Jews.
Yet, Zionism has also flourished among Jews living abroad. Citing humanist Lilienthal: the migrating Jews carried a “nation complex” within them. According to Hart, this “made many of them susceptible to Zionism’s nationalist propaganda.”
Later, Zionists such as Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, and Vladimir Jabotinsky would terrorize the British out of Mandate Palestine. Hart sources Ralph Schoenman on the Koening Memorandum that made transparent the Zionists’s plans for terrorism against Palestinians: “We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”
Mr Gates, your comment quoted, “Britain went so far as to declare war on Palestinians and assassinate palestinians”. I have always been under the impression that the early Jews described themselves as Palestinians, before Israel was established as a nation. are you describing the early Jews or the Muslim Arabs in this statement.
