COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN INVESTMENTWATCH
“Unhappy Anniversary:
Today marks 15 years since Bush started the war on Iraq and 7 years since Obama
began the war on Libya—both based on lies and deception.”
Yes, unhappy anniversary indeed.
The root cause of both was the American-Israeli
relationship.
America committed, years ago, to assisting in "the
birth of a new Middle East." Those are Condi Rice's words.
The phrase may freely be translated as "creating a
Middle East completely compliant to America and its Mideast colony, aka,
Israel."
It implied destroying independent-minded leaders like
Qaddafi or Assad, and it implied breaking up some of the region's countries. It
also implied killing a lot of people and creating a lot of misery.
America, over the last decade and a half, has killed at
least two million people, injured countless others, and reduced millions to
desperate refugees.
The poor refugees, in turn, came close to destabilizing
Europe, but the US never lifted a finger to assist in the horror it created.
Pathetic European politicians like Angela Merkel were only
trying to assuage their own consciences over toeing the line on atrocious
American policies which caused so much human desperation by letting in vast
numbers of refugees.
The real cause for setting fire to the Middle East has
nothing to do with notions like gold dinars, just as the invasion of Iraq had
nothing directly to do with crude oil, although that claim was made countless
times by critics of the invasion. It is disinformation to confuse people, and
it works, it does confuse them.
America has become a complete enabler for the aggression and
oppression we've unfortunately seen from the very start of re-created Israel.
More than an enabler, it has become a powerful willing helper. The cost in
human terms of this twisted relationship has been immense.
The relationship is also behind much of the America-Russia
poison because Israel and its supporters, the Neocons, resent Russia's ability
to somewhat check American total dominance, and American aggressive dominance
is the absolute cornerstone principle of the Neocons. They feel Israel is only
secure with a giant bully always standing right behind it, and the bully goes
along because its own establishment has the dangerous fantasy of always wanting
it to be 1953 with America supreme in the world.
And the cost of the relationship may yet become far, far
greater as Trump and his bosom buddy, Netanyahu, cast deadly looks towards
Iran. Trump, despite some reasonable sounds made during his campaign, has
become the most supine President ever for Israel's demands and interests. He is
literally America’s first Doormat President.
It's just part of the reason I call him an utter coward,
despite all his noise and bluster and pretended bravery on other matters. He loves
sounding like a big tough guy, as he grimaces and tweets from his bed, but he bent
like a frail twig to the Pentagon, the CIA, and the Israel Lobby almost from
his first day of power. He literally peed his pants when he should have shown
toughness.
