GORDON DUFF: TIME TO END AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF MIDDLE EAST

Oil War Ends

Even Imaginary Enemies Can Get Tired

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

For the last decade, America has been shuffling its entire military, including hundreds of thousands of private contractors, in and out of the Middle East on little more than a “snipe hunt.”  Time for a reality check.  Iraq never attacked the US.  Reports say Al Qaeda may have fewer than 30 men in Afghanistan. 

The Taliban has been asking for a cease fire for months.  Turkey and Brazil negotiated a nuclear deal with Iran ending any possible threat, one we strangely, very strangely ignored.  “Thermo-nuclear Israel’s” continual whining and manipulation is wearing thin.  America’s economy, her Army and her suffering veterans demand an end to our Bush era phony war.

General Petraeus is now in Afghanistan.  The endless games, paying the Taliban for security, protecting drug dealers and propping up a failed dictatorship can come to an end.  OK, some news;  the Taliban is sick of the war and ready to settle.  The only thing keeping the war going is the Karzai brothers and their business partners.  They aren’t worth it, they aren’t America’s allies, they are hated in Afghanistan and they need to be ‘retired’ to the south of France.  I suspect they will be able to live quite well, no financial help needed.

Iran isn’t the problem, it never was.  Since the 1960s, America has been running interference for Israel’s territorial ambitions.  They are now occupying part of Egypt, Jordan and Syria and what had been 4 million Muslim and Christian residents of Palestine are now 1.5 million Gaza detainees and 2.5 million refugees.  Iran had already agreed to a proposal from Turkey and Brazil that would have gotten rid of any nuclear material that may have been used for a weapon, a “workable” deal that seems to have been opposed only because it is preventing a war that Israel wants. 

Of course, Israel wants to attack Iran while hundreds of thousand of American troops are standing by.  America’s occupation of the Middle East has proven to be a destabilizing influence for sure, making war on a whim attractive, a war really being fought as in Afghanistan over money, always oil and gas, drugs or arms profiteering.  Without America’s military power, her ability to project force in the Middle East, a capability put in place after the first Gulf War, history might be very different. 

With 75% of Guantanamo detainees winning release based on illegal detention, even under almost whimsical “rules of war” now in place, we are getting a new look at a decade of deception and even treason.  Information is even leaking out indicating that the first Gulf War may have been grossly misrepresented with Kuwait now beginning to no longer be a victim but rather part of a partnership gone bad.  The first invasion may be just as bogus as the second were it not for a better deception plan and the competent plotting of the elder Bush compared to his bungling son.

What has really happened is that America has spun out of control with one “lobby” after another banding together into a phony political front that wants nothing but endless war.  America’s most powerful lobby is the Israeli’s, myth makers and storytellers peddling biblical prophesy to the rednecks, terror scares to the American Jewish community that controls over 40% of the nation’s wealth and “Islamophobia” to the rest of the country over the controlled news and entertainment industry.  Do we begin to mention how our corrupt electoral process has made any honest discussion of this problem political suicide for any genuinely “American” candidate?

Did we forget the oil lobby?  Why do you think war with Iran is being pushed?  The second the attack begins, the Straits of Hormuz are closed, oil prices skyrocket and oil company profits quadruple just like they did during the last wars.  How do you think low oil demand, low oil prices and the doubled price of gasoline came about?  Last week we learned that BP, the company famous for destroying the Gulf of Mexico, ordered the British government to free the “Lockerbie Bomber.”  Consider that only a peek at the real power the oil companies have over our governments.

What used to be the “military/industrial complex” has gone well beyond that.  With many financial institutions now deeply into ownership of intelligence and “black-ops” companies that make up much of America’s defense capabilities, we haven’t simply privatized war, we have privatized war policy.

Using the term “Middle East” is, in itself, a deception.  The Mediterranean is an American lake.  The Indian Ocean is being treated as a war “front.”  Europe, from Britain to Germany to Italy and into Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, exists as little but a staging area for operations against what could be 30 terrorists.  American bases dot each of these countries, continually expanded and new ones added to every day.  Even the Black Sea is being “occupied,” with warships and ringed with bases.

Has the United States established exactly what its strategic interests are in the region?  Oil is flowing freely as is heroin.  Money is flowing into the region by the plane load and back out, into banks in Dubai, Tel Aviv and Switzerland.  Is $500 billion a year being spent to defend Israel from invasion by, well, we aren’t sure?  What is being spent to secure Israel, or empower Israeli recklessness, is nearly one third of America’s entire budget.  Wouldn’t it simply be cheaper to give Israel the United States or do they own it already?

  1. Thank you GD!
    When will sanity and justice be regained?
    Or are these merely illusions?
    Enjoy a relaxing w/end.

  2. This is the type of article the Fox News crowd needs to read. However if they don’t see the phrase “Evil Muslims” in the first paragraph they may stop reading.

    The article states this: Iran had already agreed to a proposal from Turkey and Brazil that would have gotten rid of any nuclear material that may have been used for a weapon, a “workable” deal that seems to have been opposed only because it is preventing a war that Israel wants.

    Yes indeed Gordon. What can we citizens do? Not much. Soon it will be a crime to criticize our Israeli masters.

    From the article:

    In March, AIPAC persuaded more than three-quarters of the House of Representatives to sign a letter calling for an end to public criticism of Israel and urging the US to “reinforce” its relationship with the Jewish state.

    The whole article is very interesting.

    http://www.sott.net/articles/show/212000-Has-Obamageddon-Signed-the-World-s-Death-Warrant-

    I’m really getting tired of hearing Obama and other politicians talk about the unbreakable bond with Israel. An unbreakable bond with Iran would be a better choice. It has not started a war in over two hundred years. Iranians claims its been over two thousand years.

    The Iranian government does some cruel things to their citizens they view as troublemakers (a lot of governments do this) but at least the Iranian government actually tries to help the Palestinians living in Israel’s evil concentration camp in Gaza and the horrible Israeli controlled West Bank.

    With our Middle East policy it’s difficult for me not to see Obama as Israel’s blackmailed puppet.

  4. Even the guys with the toilet paper contract don’t want this war to end. Sure they own America via DC, the banks, and SEC. They got the bailouts and perhaps now seek more donations from their own American members. Found this quite interesting, if true. The Diaspora Need Not Apply By ALANA NEWHOUSE Published: July 15, 2010 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/16/opinion/16newhouse.html?ref=opinion

  5. Actually, my REAL website is more complex, including my eyewitness report of the American/British destruction of the beautiful city of Dresden, and some kind words from the late Norodom Sihanouk, who retreated with his family to North Korea. After serving as Intelligence Operations Officer of our 4th US Armored Division in Goeppingen, Germany, I volunteered for duty in Vietnam, and served there as Advisory Team Leader. First in a tiny “fortress” next to the small village of Ngo Trang, on Vietnamese “highway 14″, just north of Kontum, and finally at Trung Lap, in the heart of the “Iron Triangley”. But enough about me – it seems you also had a few wounds from your experience. How is the “Veterans System” treating you?

  6. Michael J Volz

    Bad dream over Gordon? I don’t think so as long as “our” president has keep asking mossad agent rahm emanuel for the new combination(*) for the White House powder room.

    * security toilet “invented” by “elite” security company in Israhell. (Actually the basic design was stolen from White Castle Systems, the USA fast food giant—White Castle abandoned the pay toilet innovation when the customers kept pissing/sh_ting behind the dumpster.)

    Mike

    PS

    Nice comprehensive outline for a GOOD dream!

  7. Michael J Volz

    Does Israhell pay for their fake Muslim “terrorists” than they do for “our” senators, congressmen/women and governors?

    Mike

    • Michael J Volz

      correction: does a fake terrorist cost more than a US senator or congressman/woman?

      mike

    • Actually Adl/Splc/Mossad/IDF/JDL train their own
      cadres to “play roles” ” to fake Islamic Extremism”,
      They just grow a beard and then they put a blurb on
      Big Corporate Mass Media and “identify ” them as
      Al Quiada.

      MOSSAD/IDF/JDL/ADL/SPLC ARE THE TERRORISTS.
      They are in deep in our Government and we
      are all really in danger.

      The “plan” is to “use up America” as long
      as they can deceive us.

      Then “flush & trash ” America

      • Michael J Volz

        I guess jews make the best fake terrorists (like adam pearlman)because the are so smart? Certainly they are worth more and get paid better than US Senators and Congressmen? A few million in payoffs (and a few good whores) gets billions in aid money. That isn’t even a gamble.

        Mike

  8. Kudos, Gordon, on another fine piece underscoring the absolute insanity of the current USA budget. We created a government supposedly for the people and by the people, but as you so deftly pointed out, most of the money being spent these days doesn’t go to the people or anything that relates to their needs or interests. It goes to support the vast egos and inflated pocket books of our extremely corrupt government officials among others.

    There is no strategic interest relating to the people of the US that calls for us to be occupying the Middle East. Most people don’t actually realize that there is oil in the US and that the reason that OUR OIL COMPANIES PREFER TO GET OIL FROM THE MIDDLE EAST is that middle eastern oil is easier to refine and much cheaper therefore much more profitable for the oil companies.

    The truth is that we need to end our dependence on oil and to permit the development of the many alternative energy technologies being suppressed by the far too powerful and too wealthy oil industry.

    Let’s begin bringing America back to life by shutting down the many not necessary wars and diverting that money to reestablishing domestic industry.

    MK

  9. Agreed , Amen.
    Let us rebuild our Country and stop being led by DECEPTION !!
    There is nothing except rampant careless mega-corruption
    and eager CONTROL FREAKS to stop us from re-building
    our societies,economy,infrastructure,Culture,our personal Identities !
    Along with our educational & technology base
    for the benefit of the American people.
    We must take back our Medical/Health Institutions/professions
    for the benefit of the Sovereign People
    and not have the fate of our lives & health as simply
    a tool to enrich the Toxic-Medicine Industry.
    Their is a tremendous amount of technology
    and Medical/Health knowledge & advancements that
    have been repressed for decades by all means
    ( including MURDER ) of the bright minds who
    made wonderful discoveries/advancements.

    Genuine and Safe Medical/Health “Healing” , “Restorative”
    Care/Help would “cost” only a small fraction of what is being “Consumed”
    by the Toxic-Medicine Industry/Charade.

    We must abolish for all time the ” Federal Dept. of Education ”
    which has only “agendas”,”change agents”,”control freaks”
    to process the children and manipulate/repress their minds
    and indoctrinate them and teach them a “FALSE HISTORY”
    to enslave their minds.

    There has probably been another False Flag Attack and very possibly another 911 FALSE FLAG ATTACK
    coming soon for the purpose to deceive us /control us.To tell us
    falsehoods about who/what is actually Responsible for the Terror/Attack/Calamity/Catastrophe.
    DO NOT LET THEM DECEIVE YOU AGAIN!

    The time to speak out is now ,an awful fate is planned for us all.

    Iran is not going to Attack America, it will be by our “closest allies”
    Israel/Britian and those few within our gates for their 30 pieces of silver.
    (or 30 trillion in Federal Reserve Notes).

    LOOK AT & OBSERVE EXACTLY EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET:
    SENATOR JOE LIBERMAN IS FRONT & CENTER IN HIS QUEST TO
    SHUTDOWN “NEUTER” one of our great “Aces” to push
    back the tide of DECEPTION.
    ENDLESS NOISE ABOUT “KEEPING US SAFE” SO THEREFORE
    SHUTTING DOWN THE INTERNET.
    SO EAGER TO RECLAIM THEIR MONOPOLY OF INFORMATION.
    SHUTTING DOWN THE INTERNET WOULD BE AN ACT OF “WMD” LAYED UPON US.

    Their are Soldiers & American Loyalists who have been killed or “suicided”
    fulfilling their Oath to the Constitution,Our Republic, for the “Sovereign People”.
    For pushing back against traitors/Tyranny from within our gates.
    It takes no courage to speak out now when the Train is coming down the track
    and you must alert the people to get out of the way.

    They know everything about everybody and remaining silent only buys you
    just a little time , you will be “taken care of “,just a little
    later.

    For the people who are the VETERANS
    and AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALIST LOYALISTS ,their families,their kin,
    their ancestors,their posterity.

    For all the Good & Brave who fought and died to throw off the
    yoke of Royalty/Babylonialism Tyranny and RULE BY DECEPTION!

    Have you not seen the great Charade and the walls closing in ?.
    At any time any of three or four dozen Federal Agencies can swoop
    in on you to ” keep us all safe”. Or mess up your lives in
    a hundred ways . We are living/dying in (“Babylonian/Tyranny “Light” with a Smile).
    This will change,is changing,has changed.
    Some of the books at the public Library that I read as a teenager are no longer there.
    Everything is a Lie.

    My occassional repetition , I will not be committing suicide, :)

    I am not taking/using/consuming/ or involved with any legal/illegal
    drug use, including ” using dangerous drugs” that could result in
    ” overdose “, as the Coroners are threatened/bribed to report.
    I am not now or ever been and will not become a participant in any
    way to “threaten society or myself” , to engage in attacks,mischief,vandalism,etc
    toward anybody or any officials or agencies or anything or toward any group/person
    (including)
    of “Organized & Deceptive Social Fascists ”
    The “Social Fascist Deceptive Organizations” know who you are, just ask
    Abe Foxman , ( a Fascist Control Freak). :) I am still entitled to my personal opinion :)

    The ADL is particulary disgusting ” THE WHOLE MANTRA OF MY ANCESTORS WERE OPPRESSED SO THEREFORE WE HAVE
    THE MORAL HIGH GROUND TO OPPRESS EVERYBODY ELSE AND TO PERSECUTE/THREATEN/INTIMIDATE
    ANYBODY THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH OUR OWN FASCIST_THUG VERSION OF WHAT IS “TOLERANCE”.
    AS THE MORALLY SUPERIOR ADL WE WILL IMPOSE OUR VIEWS AND WHIMS USING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
    AS A WEAPON OR TOOL OF INTIMIDATION OR OPPRESSION. :) you sick freaks :)
    Historically , EVIL has always been “self_righteous :)

    ( NO ONE ELSE WAS EVER OPPRESSED ? , of course GOYIM Don’t count ,do they ?
    I will also not be involved in “life threatening activities”
    I have not now nor ever will commit acts of “threats” ,”assault”
    “conspiracy to commit assault toward anyone or any
    Government agency/staff/agent of any agency on this planet.
    I will also not be involved in any way nor participate
    in any “Hate Crime”.
    Though I am sure that pretty soon any speech or thought not
    approved and granted “privilege” be ADL/SPLC/JDL
    is to be legislated as illegal.
    I am also a good driver and have a self_imposed limit of ZERO MOLECULES OF
    ALCOHOL when driving since by now we all understand that illegal aliens can consume
    several quarts of liquor
    and kill people while driving and be out in 3 days. However American citizens who have
    consumed any amount of alcohol then drives ( no matter how well)( no matter how little )
    then the American Citizen
    is fed upon.

    The Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan
    university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel.

    “We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in

    Iraq,” Ma’ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying.

    Have you all not noticed IN ALL OF BIG BEAST MEDIA ANYONE CAN INSULT/DENIGRATE/DEGRADE
    ANYTHING CHRISTIAN OR ISLAMIC, OR AMERICAN PATRIOTISM , HOWEVER ANYONE WHO GETS OFF THEIR KNEES AND WILL
    NOT SUBMIT TO BIG CORPORATE TALMUDISM/BABYLONIALISM IS PERSECUTED AND HOUNDED RELENTLESSLY !!
    :) THIS IS CALLED (“TOLERANCE” ) :)

  10. noahfor911truth

    Thank you Gordon Duff for your excellent work. I am an x marine and I think we should end the occupation NOW! 9/11 was an inside job! Google it.

  11. Man attempts to meet his needs and wants with the least amount of effort. We have moved from a hunting and gathering mode to that of raising crops and thence to cities and commerce and the creation of states along approximate tribal lines. The accumulation of money by the brightest of the species can be viewed as the “score card” of how efficiently the allocation of their capital has been in meeting needs and wants of general populations. Drugs and rock & roll, war, entertainment, cars (Alexis Carrel in “Man, the Unknown” observed that one of man’s few instinctive pleasures was to move fast with minimal effort), all need the allocation of money. Big banking, centralized and internationalized, is required absent an unlikely mutation of mankind’s genes. Highly civilized individuals as you, Gordon, as as right as can be. We and our kind will struggle to create sane societies. The money men, however, will triumph or blow us all up in their failure, I fear.

    • We are quite done with those with no conscience and
      without the capacity for empathy to
      benefit from lacking certain “HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS”.
      We are moving toward better societies in
      which sociopaths/psychopaths are not “rewarded ”
      for simply being sociopaths/psychopaths.
      There are human skills/abilities above & beyond
      simply being a good liar.

  12. DIS_INFO OPERATION ..DIS-INFO OPERARION DIS-INFO-OPERATION.
    I SAY AGAIN DIS-INFO OPERATION

    Washington Post ( part of big corporate mass media machine )
    are generating/creating/manufacturing ” AN “ISSUE” )
    This “ISSUE” is to be used as part of the
    CONTROL-FREAK urge by some in D.C.
    ( like Sen. Joe Lieberman ) in their quest
    to shutdown the internet.
    I guarantee the Washington Post in full cooperation with
    certain Senators/Congressmen are “generating ” a ” performance”
    as part of their Insatiable Lust “TO HAVE MORE POWER ”
    Sen. Joe Lieberman and a bunch more of them in D.C.
    need to get out of “Our Government “.
    Go play your “NERO” or “CAESAR” or “ROYALTY” crud
    somewhere else !!

    WE ARE BEYOND DISGUSTED WITH YOUR GARBAGE,DRECK,FILTH YOU
    CALL “LEGISLATION”.
    YOU ARE A DEN OF THIEVES
    YOU HAVE OVERSTEPPED YOUR BOUNDARIES!
    YOU HAVE IMPEACHED YOURSELF !
    YOU SPIT ON US AND CALL IT DEW !!

    ALL THE 50000 PAGES OF “REGULATION” IS JUST
    CRUD TO BENEFIT YOUR FRIENDS & PALS
    & TO CRUSH THE REST OF US.
    DISGUSTING, CAN NOT STOP LYING FOR A MOMENT !!
    TYRANTS/MOBSTERS/BULLIES/THUGS
    YOU HAVE IMPEACHED YOURSELF !!!

    The U.S. MILITARY is under no threat from ordinary Americans having access
    to the internet. They have a budget,personnel,infrastructure,”the brains”
    to safeguard their facilities from ” Cyber_Attacks “.
    THIS IS ALL NOISE IN AN ATTEMPT TO RE-ESTABLISH THEIR MONOPOLY
    ON INFORMATION FOR THE “SOVEREIGN PEOPLE ”

    THE ORIGINAL 13TH AMENDMENT WILL BE RESTORED/RECOGNIZED AND
    ACTED ON, SO HELP US G_D.

    State Department warns employees about new website highlighting Top Secret facilities
    Posted By Josh Rogin Friday, July 16, 2010 – 11:13 AM Share
    The State Department is bracing for a potentially explosive new feature on the Washington Post website that would publish the names and locations of agencies and firms conducting Top Secret work on behalf of the U.S. government, according to the copy of an email obtained by The Cable.

    The Diplomatic Security Bureau at State sent out a notice Thursday to all department employees warning them to protect classified information and reject inquiries from the press when the new web feature goes live.

    “The Washington Post plans to publish a website listing all agencies and contractors believed to conduct Top Secret work on behalf of the U.S. Government,” the notice reads. “The website provides a graphic representation pinpointing the location of firms conducting Top Secret work, describing the type of work they perform, and identifying many facilities where such work is done.”

    According to the notice, the Post used only open-source information to compile its site. However, if some of that open-source information turns out to have been classified, its publication by the Post doesn’t change that classification, the State Department emphasized.

    • THE STATE DEPT. CAN DEAL WITH THIS BY HAVING A NORMAL
      CONVERSATION ABOUT NORMAL REALITIES WITH THE WASHINGTON POST.
      A LARGE (MAINSTREAM) WEBSITE PURPOSELY PUTTING OUT THIS
      KIND OF PRESENCE IS AN OBVIOUS
      “CREATE A PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION ”
      BASIC PSY-OP. ” agent provocateur “.

      2nd, Followed by a mass media “performance” of the
      Washington Post going to “Court” to generate noise & fluff
      so the only “solution” is Let Joe Lieberman get what he wants !!!!!
      we are so done with you creeps
      ..you guys are not even pretending to look out for us,
      you have soiled our Republic , performing a mockery of
      your own mockery , your creeps , the whole World is
      amazed with the people in our Congress/Senate.
      The whole World can see what complete dupes Americans have become,
      this has become embarrassing quite a while ago.

      This is crud,OK, Knowingly/purposely creating an “issue”
      to “force” engineer everyone else around.
      Smells like ADL/SPLC/JDL TEAM SPIRIT :)
      This is what ADL/SPLC do day in,day out
      They engineer/manufacture an “issue” to force/jam
      their desired solution.
      It is referred to as “SOCIAL ENGINEERING”
      ………creeps

      ANY ATTEMPT/EFFORT TO “MANUFACTURE” A FIGLEAF TO
      HIDE BEHIND YOUR ” MUST HAVE MORE POWER ”
      COMPLEX ( A PERSONAL ISSUE ? )

  13. THANKS FOR ALL THE EFFORTS FROM D.C. TO
    MAKE THE OIL DISASTER AS HORRIBLE AS POSSIBLE !!

    THANKS FOR BLOCKING SINCERE/COMPETENT OFFERS
    OF ASSISTANCE FROM FRIENDLY NATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THANKS FOR SPRAYING THE AMERICAN WATERS WITH COREXIT !!!!!!!!!!!

    THANKS FOR LETTING (BP) BRITISH CROWN RULE OUR WATERS
    DURING THIS EMERGENCY

    THANKS FOR HOLDING ARIZONA/TEXAS HOSTAGE TO YOUR AGENDAS

  15. Lawrence A Dickerson

    Stopping the war in Afghanistan and Iraq can be accomplished in no time once the American people get riled up like they did in Viet Nam.I think we would still be in that situation hadn’t the US population rose as one and demanded ceasing tour participation.It took anarchy and any other form of protest but the politicians soon got the message.

    Strike at the hearts of the people with the truth and they will soon react if nothing else out of guilt.

    • Isn’t going to happen. There was a draft back then with most of the demonstrators being from the upper middle class. At that time losses were near 50K, and after the TET offensive troops were being pulled out (late 68). Also, I’ve read somwehere that when a GI dies now in a zone the family gets close to 500K to not speak out. DHS will move in and end any start up of a demo today. Your point however is positive but it won’t work in 2010 in my view.

      • Lawrence A Dickerson

        Nightflyer:You underestimate the power and anger of the American people.We are still a renegade citizenry that just needs a jump start.Rangel attempts to bring back the draft but it keeps getting shot down as an unpopular view.Voters speak loudly when their ire is full swing and the politicians know full well that their throats would be slit politically if they attempted to bring back that said draft.

        Your point that not enough Americans have died yet is a good example,maybe the next 100 or 1000 military members KIA will be the lit fuse to set the people off on demanding withdrawal.Let this economy fall continuously and the idea of jobs never being created that pays the golden egg.It will take something drastic but writing letters to VT and thinking that we did something good for the country is naive thinking.I write letter after letter to all of my elected officials.Changes have been made,not because I alone made noise,but many others like me.

        “Start spreading the news”, and getting your friends and neighbors angry.Insist that they in turn spread the message.In time they will converge and the voice will raise again over the politicians head and scare the bejeebers out of them concerning their electability.

        • Mr. Dickerson, Roger that! I’ve started a webpage which I’ll keep simple on “Passing the Word”. With the permission of Gordon, here is the temporary address: http://02EFE2F.NETSOLHOST.COM

          In a few days it will be Pazen de Voz / Pass the Word. It contains the link for people to contact their representatives.

  17. Excellent article! Way to go Mr. Duff, keep up the great writing!

    ’9/11 & Free Energy’: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=393090521816

  18. Fully agree on all count, trying to find a way to the Achilles Heel of this penetration or infestation as one prefer to call it. Keep finding more infuriating abuses. Looking at the Constitution I did find a discordant note on that “unbreakable bond” that allowed the Congress and President to treat Israel as if it where a state of the Union. I find no official treaties or legal document validating the claim other than something that evolved from a remark by Pres. Reagan exasperated reaction to Israel demand for an official position. “call it strategic partner” he said.
    That allowed Congress and Presidents to use our money and influence and expose us and out troops to unnecessary risks. I did find many speeches and papers by the Founders clearly condemning any such association and commitment. AG Eric Holder has been very good lately in using existing laws to bring culprit to justice, such as Goldman Sack, Senators on the donation list of the lobbies, and so on. So I pointed this out to the AG yesterday. Assuming he reads the web site E-mail perhaps it will point out how angry we are and stop this ludicrous permission to Netanyahu to use our prestige and power as a back up for action this nation would never approve but will be responsible for. Yes Israel has a right to exist and the UN gave them the space and place, it does not have a right to appropriate by force whatever it wishes and we have no obligation to defend and support such actions.

    But, the key is in the Congress, it is Congress that issues those notorious statement “Congress support Netanyahu 100%” even before the President releases his position or worse contradicting his position. That is abuse of Power and I so stated to Ms. Pelosi who leads those groups. If we want to act on it we have to target Congress, this President hands are tied. Checking now how much money those people who signed those statement get from the Lobby, That should cause them to loose their right to vote or promote the issue it is in the rules and it is called bribery described by the IRS as “something for something”

      THE JEWS HAVE THE KEY TO THE PRINTING PRESS IN AMERICA.
      WHEN IT’S ALL OVER WE WILL FIND OUT ALL THE GOLD IS IN ISRAEL. THEY AREN’T STUPID ENOUGH TO KEEP IT IN FIAT CURRENCIES.

      THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AND TEXAS A&M JUST BOUGHT 500NMILLION IN GOLD.(3% OF THEIR ASSETS) MOST ENDOWMENTS AND PENSION PLANS ARE THAT SMART. THEY ARE LISTENING TO THEIR SMART JEWISH ADVISERS AND PUTTING IT WITH PEOPLE LIKE MADOFF AND COMPANIES WHICH WILL IMPLODE LIKE THE TWIN TOWERS WHEN THEIR TRUE VALUE IS DISCOVERED (LIKE ENRON, WORLCOM, GLOBAL CROSSING AND CINCINNATI BELL!)

  20. Duffy right on as usual. were governed by corporate sociopaths,were under represented by bought and paid for bagmen and the white house is nothing more than a corporate headquarters for defense contractors who are looting our treasury. yes the only way these illegal occupations will end is with a draft. as it is the corrupt scumbag fed keeps cutting funding for higher education but the military just happens to have very deep pockets for any poor kid fresh out of high school to jion up and earn a college scholarship. obama is nothing more right now than the lesser of something even worse(newt the fruit gingrich or sara i’ll blow any corporation for money palin) presiding over our very fragile democracy. and beleive me i don’t want anything more fascist than obama in the corporate headquarters come 2012! if i’m not mistaken he is not a fan of israel,however hes not in control of the purse strings. so i hope like hell in 2010 we find in our selfs the power to kick out of office enough chickenhawk/corporate/monopolist dick suckers so that we can put a close to a very destructive and costly decade.thanks for your courageous writing

  21. Who do you beleave can stop this RUN-AWAY GOVERNMENT along with Israel. this gordon is a good article. BUT WHO WILL STAND UP TO ALL THE CORRUPT PEOPLE BEHIND THE WARS????. the people of America are to dum to see whats going on in the world. their is only a few that would do something or get involved to stop this MADNESS IN THE WORLD.LIKE YOU SAY ITS ALL ABOUT POWER AND CONTROL AND GREED. ( MONEY ). PERIOD. Big Business, OIL, AND THE CORRUPT BANKING INDUSTRY. the stupid two party system Republicans and Democrats have TIN EARS. THEY WILL NOT STOP A THING. they dont care about americas people. these idiots think they can survive a NUCLEAR WAR.( NOW ITS WHAT THEY CAN DO.) WHO WILL STOP THESE THUG’S from turing the world into a INFERNO. is their any people in the government who will listen????????????????????? before its to late.

  22. Americans have to learn to turn our backs on leaders like Saddam Hussein who massacred 180,000 Kurdish citizens of Iraq. Kwait did not need American support when Iraq invaded their oil fields. We need to ignore events like the Iraq-Iran War where millions were slaughtered on both sides. Leave well enough alone.

  23. I believe that the Middle Eastern countries should set up a regional security and trading block as this would do a couple of things;

    1) By increasing trade between the countries they would be more concerned about ensuring each others security because a war or disaster would negatively impact on their own trade.

    2) If Israel was part of this security/trading block they would have to play nice with their neighbours or face many questions.

    3) It would reduce the likelihood of the US and other countries being involved in wars there because the Middle Eastern countries would be sorting out their own terrorist problems and areas of conflict.

    4) They could even set up their own International Criminal Court similar to the one in the Hague.

    The ASEAN countries have this, except point number four and it works well.

    “or do they own it already?”

    Israel or its Lobby maneuvered in taking down our U. S. Five Pointed Star’s from each seat in Congress and replaced them with Six Pointed Star’s of Loyalty to Israel. Clerks Email below.

    I have been asking for new five Pointed Stars too be recast ed from 911 metals and not polished or plated over with gold but left from the raw metals of our fallen so we never forget. And then be put back on our U.S. Congress Seats. Ronald Douglas Kennedy

    BELOW COPY OF THE EMAIL FROM THE U. S. HOUSE, CLERK’S OFFICE (— — rdk deletions)
    Subj: RE: Six Pointed Star on Sides of Seats. Request for information [ohps]
    Date: 9/6/2006 1:30:32 P.M. Pacific Standard Time
    From: ———– —— @mail.house.gov
    To: kennedy@ —— ——-
    Sent from the Internet (Details)

    Dear Mr. Kennedy,

    Thank you for contacting the Office of the Clerk.
    There are unfortunately no published images that show a detail of the stars at the joints of the seats in the current House Chamber, on the internet or in print.

    The current style of furniture was installed in 1949, and was manufactured by a New York furniture company called Knip, which is no longer in business. There are drawings for both five and six –pointed brass stars associated with the design of the furniture, but there is no documentation explaining or mentioning the use of the six-pointed version.

    Office of the Clerk
