Bibi Back at the White House — The Consistency of Israeli Duplicity Comes Ever More Clearly into Focus
President Obama and Netanyahu
With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visiting the White House July 6th, it’s time to recall how Tel Aviv deceived Washington throughout the entirety of the U.S.-Israeli relationship.
U.S. military leaders will be watching this meeting very closely, as will the veterans community.
For me, confirmation of Israel’s strategic duplicity came in a meeting with Harry McPherson who served as counsel and speechwriter for Lyndon B. Johnson. LBJ entered the Senate in 1948 with Louisiana Senator Russell Long for whom I served as counsel and speechwriter.
At his law offices in Washington, Harry described his arrival in Tel Aviv the night that the 1967 War began. That war typifies the consistency of this ongoing deceit.
He flew in the night before from Vietnam through Hong Kong. He knew on arrival that something was amiss because the airport lights were off. He checked into his hotel and was awakened early on June 5th by Wally Barbour, the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
A pear-shaped diplomat with a penchant for yellowing Palm Beach suits, Barbour called to tell Harry that the war had just broken out—to which he replied, “But I just come from the war.”
Barbour picked him up at the hotel and they hurried to the foreign ministry for a brief meeting before conferring with the Israeli chief of military intelligence. In response to their repeated question, “Did the Egyptians attack?” McPherson and Barbour received only evasive answers. As air raid sirens wailed, McPherson recalls in A Political Education:
Barbour suggested that we might continue the discussion in the underground bunker. The general studied his watch. “No, that won’t be necessary. We can stay here.” Barbour and I looked at each other. If it wasn’t necessary, the Egyptian air force had been destroyed. That could only have happened so quickly if it had been surprised on the ground. We did not need to ask for confirmation, but left at once to cable the news to Washington.
Israel was neither under attack nor under threat of attack as its leadership has since conceded. Air raid sirens were just props in the stagecraft of waging war by way of deception.
The Israel-as-victim storyline was stage-managed by Zionist extremists to make both Israeli citizens and foreign observers believe that the Jewish state was endangered. As with the phony intelligence that induced the U.S. to war in Iraq in March 2003, the facts in June 1967 differed dramatically from the geopolitical narrative.
Under cover of that false attack, Tel Aviv occupied land belonging to its neighbors. The bulk of that property is still held by force 43 years later with the support of the U.S. as its oft-duped ally.
Servicing the Commander-in-Chief
In the lead-up to Israel’s Six-Day Land Grab, Johnson was lobbied by U.N. Ambassador Arthur Goldberg. LBJ had moved Goldberg from the Supreme Court to the U.N. so he could be replaced with Abe Fortas, Johnson’s personal lawyer. Fortas was a senior operative in a network of Zionists who helped produce the Johnson presidency and shaped its policies.
When Goldberg used heart-rending rhetoric to weave for Johnson a storyline about Israeli vulnerability and the pending victimization of hapless Jews at the hostile hands of an Arab “ring of steel,” LBJ waved a Central Intelligence Agency report predicting that Israel could win any war in the region in two weeks.
When Goldberg persisted, Johnson ordered the CIA to revisit their analysis. The agency returned with a revised report concluding that Israel could win any war in the region in one week.
On June 4th, at a Fortas-hosted dinner for Johnson, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and New York investment banker John Loeb, Fortas cautioned Johnson that war might soon erupt in the Middle East.
When the president turned to McNamara for his opinion, the Pentagon chief agreed with Johnson that there would be no war. Johnson then confirmed that U.S. intelligence agencies agreed with McNamara’s assessment. Johnson left for the White House at 10:58 p.m.
Less than six hours later, at 4:30 a.m. on June 5th, National Security Adviser Walt Rostow called LBJ to announce that Israel had attacked Egypt. Mathilde Krim, a former Irgun operative, was Johnson’s guest at the White House that night. Before informing anyone else, LBJ stopped by the blonde beauty’s bedroom to tell her, “The war has started.”
Not until 7:45 a.m. did Johnson speak with Soviet Premier Aleksi Kosygin who expressed his hope and expectation that the U.S., as Israel’s closest ally, would restrain Tel Aviv.
Mathilde Krim was the wife of Arthur Krim, chairman of the Finance Committee for the Democratic Party and president of United Artists. While Johnson was in the Senate, Krim bought land near the LBJ Ranch in Texas where he built “Mathilde’s House.” When Arthur was away on business, Johnson routinely took Marine One, the presidential helicopter, to visit Mathilde.
An Inside Job
In the war’s first few hours, the “victimized” Israelis destroyed the Egyptian Air Force while its aircraft were still on the ground. Walt Rostow sent Johnson a memo describing the success of Tel Aviv’s “vulnerable” military as “the first day’s turkey shoot.” By evening, the Jordanian air force was also largely destroyed.
Johnson also received a memo from Arthur Krim that read, “Many arms shipments are packed and ready to go to Israel, but are being held up. It would be helpful if these could be released.” Johnson ordered them released.
By evening of the second day, two-thirds of the Syrian air force had been destroyed. The glee in the State Department Operations Room was palpable, leading Under Secretary of State Eugene Rostow to caution, “Gentlemen, gentlemen, do not forget that we are neutral in word, thought and deed.”
At the State Department’s mid-day press briefing, spokesman Robert McCloskey repeated Rostow’s official “neutrality” lie. Zionist advisers surrounded Johnson in the decision-making that lent U.S. support to the 1967 war. “Everyone around me, without exception was pro-Israel,” recalls Johnson speechwriter Grace Halsell. She identified more than a dozen close advisers to Johnson, including Walt Rostow, his brother Eugene and Arthur Goldberg.
White House counsels Leo White and Jake Jacobsen were likewise pro-Israel as were two key speechwriters: Richard Goodwin, husband of biographer Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Ben Wattenberg whose parents moved to the U.S. from Palestine. Likewise domestic affairs adviser Larry Levinson and John Roche, an avid Zionist and Johnson’s intellectual-in-residence.
The Non-Separation of Powers
In the lead-up to this Israeli aggression, Fortas served as an enabling back channel between the Israeli embassy and the White House. Fortas had known Israeli Ambassador Avraham Harman since the ambassador’s arrival in Washington in 1959. During the March 1960 visit to Washngton of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, Fortas sponsored a breakfast at his home attended by Harman and Johnson who was then Senate Majority Leader.
Fortas’ biographer conceded: “For several weeks before the crisis erupted into war, the Israeli ambassador was ‘in very frequent contact’ with Fortas and regularly visited the justice at his chambers or his house.” An outspoken Zionist, Fortas also attended a critical White House strategy meeting on the Middle East on May 26th, ten days before the land grab began.
When it came to Israel, Fortas was never neutral. “When they get back from Egypt,” a law clerk in his Supreme Court chambers overheard Justice Fortas say, “I’m going to decorate my office with Arab foreskins.”
Throughout the six days of carnage that Israel inflicted on its neighbors, Near East experts met daily with Johnson in the Cabinet Room. Fortas attended each meeting. Reflecting on comments by Fortas to Johnson at their June 4th dinner party, John Loeb wrote to Fortas on June 6th: “You were prophetic about the Middle East. Thank the Lord the President has you as a friend and counselor.”
In 1968, Johnson failed in his attempt to elevate Fortas to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Fortas resigned in May 1969 in the wake of a series of scandals. In the summer of 1970, The New York Times reported his registration as a lobbyist for Kuhn, Loeb & Company.
Fortas cemented his relationship with Johnson in 1948 when, in LBJ’s first Senate race in Texas, the Washington lawyer finessed the extensive vote fraud apparent in the Democratic primary in which Johnson claimed an 87-vote victory, including 200 votes tallied in alphabetical order.
A Fortas-devised legal strategy led to Johnson’s name appearing on the November ballot as the Democratic Party nominee. In a strongly Democratic state, that primary victory assured the ambitious Texan a victory in the general election and a seat in the U.S. Senate. Decades later, those familiar with this political history continued to refer to him as “Landslide Lyndon.”
A Strategic Provocation
The Six-Day Slaughter of 1967 pre-staged the geopolitical dynamics for all that has followed—not only in the Middle East but also in the U.S. as Israel’s violent taking of land outraged everyone in the region and set American foreign policy on today’s ruinous course.
The periodic carnage visited on Palestinians ensures that this strategic provocation remains fresh in the minds of Muslims worldwide. Reactions to these serial provocations, in turn, fuel the plausibility of the latest storyline, The Clash of Civilizations and its corrosive counterpart: the Global War on Terrorism with “Islamo fascism” the essential Evil Doer branding.
Israel has performed with reliable consistency every act required to provoke and sustain extremism in the Muslim world. Only by duplicity has the Zionist state sustained a U.S. alliance whose main effect has been to make America appear guilty by association.
On August 9, 2000 in a White House ceremony, President Bill Clinton presented Johnson paramour Mathilde Krim with the Medal of Freedom. By then this former Irgun terrorist had been rebranded as a high-profile medical researcher and AIDS activist adored and promoted to political prominence by her pro-Israeli supporters in Hollywood.
It’s not expected that Israeli-American Rahm Israel Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff to Barack Obama, will urge that Monica Lewinsky receive the nation’s highest civilian honor. It’s not yet known what role Emanuel and White House political strategist David Axelrod have played in sustaining our costly “special relationship” with the Jewish state.
As yet another Israeli Prime Minister arrives in Washington with yet another rationalization for continuing this entangled alliance, a nomination is pending for the appointment to our highest court of a third Jewish Zionist for a court with just nine jurists. In time, historians will identify the role played by the Israel lobby (and Emanuel/Axelrod) in the nomination of Elena Kagan.
Based on the consistency of “Bibi” Netanyahu’s duplicitous conduct over decades, Barack Obama needs to know when an Israeli Prime Minister is once again deceiving a U.S. president. History suggests a reliable test: are his lips moving?
The End of History
Though the U.S. has been deceived with stunning consistency for more than six decades, a mid-course correction remains possible. If this latest president can concede to himself that his political career is a product of those complicit at this deceit, he may yet emerge as the transformative leader that his supporters once hoped he could be.
If Barack Obama can be honest with himself, he will speak candidly to the American people and explain why this long-running deceit must be brought to a speedy close. If on July 6th he announces support for a one state solution, that will start to unwind this perilous alliance.
Senior military leaders have confirmed the common source undermining U.S. national security. Should the current commander-in-chief fail to act consistent with the known facts, this latest political product of the Chicago Outfit may risk their continued allegiance.
To advance peace, he needs only declare U.S. support for the designation of Jerusalem as an international cultural site under the protection of U.N. troops. To end the multi-decade cycle of provocation/reaction, he needs only reassign 30,000 U.S. troops to Palestine to rebuild a destroyed society, resettle its ousted people on occupied land and secure Israel’s nuclear arsenal.
The Zionist experiment was a failure before it began. An overdue end to this apartheid regime can begin July 6th. Or this perilous alliance can continue—at untold cost in blood and treasure.
July 6th could be a defining moment for a president in need of such a moment. That date could also mark the restoration of American values to U.S. foreign policy and grant solace to those moderate and secular Jews long appalled at the conduct of Zionists who in 1948 deceived a U.S. president to recognize as a legitimate state their extremist enclave in the Middle East.

You really don’t want to know what I think of this garbage.
The only garbage is Israeli militarism, an enterprise that did not stop at the USS Liberty.
Or perhaps those Americans killed and wounded on the Liberty were the wrong kind of people, in your mind.
Only Israeli militarism? And who arms the Israelis? The United States, obviously. Who controls the United States? Not Israel, but the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address in 1961, and which took over less than three years later when Kennedy was assassinated by our own CIA after he made a final attempt to assert civilian control. Our country has been in its grip ever since. Israel is but one of its tentacles, so to speak, although certainly a very important one. This octopus has a budget bigger than the rest of the world put together and has bases in something like 100 countries.
Is Coy Bowden with “MEGAPHONE” ??,
” the smell that surrounds you “
Yes, Coy, the truth can be cery painful, especially if you’ve been filling your mind with FIX sound bites–when you’re not busy looking up the short skirts of their ‘news anchors.’
Here’s a past news item to refresh your memory, especially now that Israeli hasbara agents are all over the MSM, proclaiming the advised the USA to not invade Iraq.
Israel To U.S.: Don’t Delay Iraq Attack Aug. 16, 2002
Israel is urging U.S. officials not to delay a military strike against Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, an aide to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Friday.
Israeli intelligence officials have gathered evidence that Iraq is speeding up efforts to produce biological and chemical weapons, said Sharon aide Ranaan Gissin.
“Any postponement of an attack on Iraq at this stage will serve no purpose,” Gissin said. “It will only give him (Saddam) more of an opportunity to accelerate his program of weapons of mass destruction.”
As evidence of Iraq’s weapons building activities, Israel points to an order Saddam gave to Iraq’s Atomic Energy Commission last week to speed up its work, Gissin said.
“Saddam’s going to be able to reach a point where these weapons will be operational,” he said.

Coy, do any of these lies sound familiar? Aren’t the samelies now being told about another country Israel wants the USA to bomb into rubble, Iran?
outstanding article
The Israeli government developed a pattern of using young Israelis who disguised themselves as terrorists of whichever country they were attempting to implicate.
The truth is coming out now like a thousand rivers pouring down
shock & awe 
the moutains.The Age of Deception is coming to an end.
To be most certain, we most assuredly ” owe” these “Israelis”
( or whatever they really are ) a great deal of ” something ”
and that something is not more “aid” or money.
http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Articles/USS_Liberty.htm
http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Articles/False_Flag_New_World_Order.htm
By 1948, under David Ben Gurions direction, the Israeli government developed the Israeli Terrorist Cell, Unit 131. In the mid 1950s, the U.S. was friends with Gamal Abdel Nasser and Egypt. Ben Gurion, an avid Zionist and the Israel’s first Prime Minister, envisioned an Egyptian terrorist attack against the U.S. in order to destroy that alliance. However, that wasn’t a probability, given the relationship between the two countries. So the Israeli government developed a pattern of using young Israelis who disguised themselves as terrorists of whichever country they were attempting to implicate. This concept would be applied during Operation Cyanide, involving the USS Liberty, in an attempt to initiate World War III
The only trouble with this article is that it takes the position that Israel is a treacherous ally of a well-intentioned but gullible United States. The correct view is that there has long been an alliance between U.S./British imperialism and Zionism. They know what they are doing. Nobody is being duped – except the people, of course. In the Liberty incident, Johnson was no dupe. Johnson and the Israelis were in on it together. In the case of 9/11, again the Mossad may have had a large part in the operation, very likely did because of their expertise, but this operation would not have been possible without the full knowledge and cooperation of key people in command positions in the Bush administration, including Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.
But I do quite agree with the author that a two-state solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict is an impossible illusion. The idea of a Jewish state defended by a Jewish army is anti-democratic in essence. Supposedly justified by the Holocaust, it is a reaction formation that has led to an apartheid state. It is high time for Jews to be fully integrated with the rest of the world and for Israel to be reconstituted as a true multi-ethnic democracy with the help of the international community.
I have always thought the Jerusalem should be a secular city, as it represents all three of the main religions and all have a right to be there.
If Israel starts another war in the Middle East, this time we should make sure that Israel is taken out and destroyed. Syria and Lebanon hopefully have enough weapons to do the job, Turkey has one of the tenth largest militaries in the world and they could claim a false flag and attack Israel as well. The Freedom Flotilla attack was an act of war by Israel so legally Turkey has the right to now attack Israel. If Israel starts the war by attacking Iran then obviously they could be involved in this war as well. I am sure there are a few people who could give the location of Israel command centre co-ordinates to Syria who apparently now have the scud missiles that are accurate enough to hit targets. Also, apparently Syria has the technology to know if Israel has planes taking off so it will have forward knowledge of any attack on Iran.
Those defence missiles set up in Europe are to stop Russia’s short range missiles but would they work against Russia using long range missiles against Israel?
The USA military currently stationed in the Middle East is currently too busy to get involved in this. Also it could take it time letting anything go through Congress and agreeing to support Israel would be complicated by the fact that a NATO ally, Turkey, is involved in the war against Israel. Also, if Russia hit Israel the USA would have to think twice about being involved.
Louise,
I think you mean to say “pluralistic” rather than “secular”. The former describes a multicultural demographic whilst the latter describes a society governed by purely worldly, anti-religious, considerations.
Jerusalem as a religious center should and can indeed be pluralistic without being secular.
Thanks Yes you are right
When a situation of decades of deceit by the Zionist International Mafia, represented by Dual Citizens and Sayanim, loyal to and at the only service of Israel is denounced, as a patriot like Jeff Gates does here with historical facts, nobody teaches about at school, and the Mass Media of Disinformation never write about, it comes like a shock for the majority of people, who day in and day out have been fed with the balloney fairy tale of “Our Very Special Relationship with Our very Special Ally Israel”.
Well, those ovewhelming ‘n documented but silenced facts by the Jewish controlled media in the USA ‘n Europe, show that Israel, “Our Very Special Ally”, is a FRAUD, a cunning-deceitful-treacherous-pimp of an ally that has never hesitatet to slaughter, with glee and vicious sociopathe satisfaction, the American directly, via Induced Terrorism-proxies or by suckering the USA-GB-EU ‘n others into wars that benefit ONLY Israel-Wall Street, the Federal Reserve owned by Jewish Banksters. Wake Up America.
In the course of the warmongering cruzade against humanity by the Zionist Mafia Outfit, many honest ‘n decent Jews have been unscrupulously sacrified ‘n overrun by the Zion-Talmudic militarist ‘n murderous psychopatic leadership that has converted Israel in the Criminal Police State that nowadays holds Jews ‘n non-Jews hostages or exposed to permanent blackmail of being destroyed if they voice any critic against a MAFIA gone mad, underming by deceit-bribes the values-principles of human brotherhood-peace.
Once again, Jeff Gates gives us a unique and porfound analysis of the Israeli hidden schemes in the Middle East. By the way, we -in Egypt- don not refer to the 1967 war with Israel as a WAR but rather as a SETBACK, a cowardly attack won by deceit.
And what Jeff suggested for JERUSALEM is the wisest ever resolution to the dispute over this holy city.
Jeff, I thoroughly agree with your constructive solution “to advance peace”. And, thank you for the heartfelt laugh about Monica Lewinsky!!!

So much for Obama doing the right thing as Jeff Gates lays out in this article!!
It looks like Obama is standing behind his zionist masters and is in full support of israel.
Obama Admin: “Israel Has a Right to Nukes”:
http://news.antiwar.com/2010/07/07/obama-administration-israel-has-right-to-nukes/
Over the last nine years the Elite’s that have control of basically everything, have been quietly installing a complete surveillance and police state, complete with all the laws to back it up, via such Acts as Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism.
It should be clear by now what Obama is and who he has allegiance to. The Power base is a transatlantic Cabal, many whom are invisible to us commoners.
They use distractions of every means to keep us all looking away from what they have been quietly doing (right in broad daylight). Recently, they had Polish soldiers on US soil sharing in an “excercise” with US law enforcement. It does not bode well.
Drones are now on the border, new “enemies” within are being broadcast almost daily on the Corpo Media.
It will be soon that an invented terrorist group will be up on Cnn, fox etc. and with Obama’s new declaration that he can order Americans killed……Well, you get the drift I hope.
Not long now. The whole country is going to collapse. This is what the elites have been using all of our money for and what they have been planning for.
There has always been TWO ENEMIES of the Elite: The Middle east Muslims AND the US American people.
Jeff, would President Obama have had the authority to take PM Netanyahu into custody; then, turn him over to Turkish officials to be tried by the International Criminal Court for war crimes committed on the Mavi Marmara? Just wondering.
Israel firm charged in nuclear case
http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=134901§ionid=351020202
http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-s-nuclear-program-implicated-in-u-s-investigation-1.302006
An investigation in the United States has charged a US-based Israeli company with attempting to export nuclear weapons-related material to Israel.
The investigation conducted by the Bureau of Industry and Security says Israeli company, Pelogy, attempted to export controlled goods to Israel, India, China and South Africa. It says in the case of Israel and India, the goods could have been used to make nuclear weapons.
The charges against the company comes after Israeli sources declared earlier in July that the US has secretly given a “written guarantee” to Israel that obliges Washington to sell Israel nuclear fission materials.
