COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY PHILIP GIRALDI IN RUSSIA
INSIDER
Mike Pence - A
Whack-Job Bought and Paid for By Israel
An important article
about the disastrous influence of 'Christian Zionism' and its Jewish promoters,
on American foreign policy
A suitably bitter piece for this most ridiculous attitude of
American politicians such as Pence.
It is a bizarre and dangerous situation, blurring and
conflating stuff from ancient manuscripts - none of which contain any facts
worth talking about and half of which may well have been written by mentally
disturbed recluses or fanatics living in caves - with 21st century global
imperialism and nuclear weapons.
There is something deeply disturbing, too, about senior
politicians from the world's most powerful nation regularly deferring to the
handful of political extremists called the government of Israel. The religious
manuscript stuff is used like wallpaper to cover and “pretty up” the workings
of some truly ruthless men whose real concerns are about dominating others.
It remains an extremely dangerous relationship.
I don't know how sincere Pence is, but of course many of the
Americans doing what he does are not sincere about anything beyond American
power and authority. Few of them are truly religious. Many or most are quite
corrupt. But they all share the vision of the Stars and Stripes dominating the
globe, the vision which appears to give Trump goosebumps despite his record as
a young man of cheaply avoiding the military draft used for just that purpose.
Israel in fact serves as a special category of American
colony, and in order to keep a suitably fanatical group of supporters going
there, the ancient text mumbo-jumbo is played for all it is worth.
The great irony is that it was men like Pence and Trump,
their precise equivalents, who turned away boatloads of Jewish refugees from
American shores in the 1930s, refusing to bend prejudices to save lives.
But, now, that the people they did not want are settled in a
place far away - as well as a place of great strategic interest to Imperial
America - we hear and see all kinds of sentimental religious stuff, stuff which
never saw the light of day when it counted to save lives.
The worst extremists in Israel do seem to believe this
stuff, even if most American - and I suspect, Israeli - politicians do not. The
extremists in Israel play a somewhat similar role, fierce and unrelenting, to
that of tribes like the Gurkhas in the old British Empire.
