For over a century, the monied class has not endorsed George Washington's "no foreign entanglements" exhortation. Bold individuals are not going to change this.
We live in a very small World. I wonder what will happen when a NATO country is attacked and Article 5 is invoked...will you argue isolationism then as well? We have failed enough of our allies...we're going to find ourselves under attack with lots of enemies and zero allies to help us if we aren't careful.
We have already been attacked from the inside, and many Americans are not aware of it despite Ike's warning in 1961. The Zionists have driven a stake into the heart of America with JFK's assassination, and in the younger generations with Charlie's assassination. Owning Congress by way of AIPAC and its predecessors today, Senator Everett Dirksen recognized that way back when, observing that "Washington DC is Israeli controlled territory". The role of the Scofield Bible in that capture is a factor as demonstrated by Ted Cruz interview with Tucker. I have many Christian friends who think just as Cruz does, but of course the $15 million he has received during his career from AIPAC does not filter down to the average Joe on the street.
As Candace noted so well last night, this crisis is not about left-right or conservative v. liberal. It is clearly good v. evil. The Zionists are evil in their efforts towards global domination. That so many Americans acquiesce demonstrate and validate that we have the government we deserve.
Most who comment about Israel in discussions have a fundamentally flawed understanding of what Israel is: Israel is a CIA/MI6 construct.
From inception. Birthed with Dulles as midwife, the premise of Israel as the Jewish state that had been dreamed of since the diaspora was convenient and sellable after WWII with moral blessing.
In truth no Israeli PM or leader will come to power unless the CIA/MI6 approve them. And if they stray from their master they get the Rabin treatment.
For the primary western powers to maintain a beachhead in the ME, proximity to oil, global trade routes, any price will be paid – by the Deep State apparatus that controls the CIA/MI6. This is not necessarily the same policy of presidents and elected representatives of the people.
Remember, whatever Israel does is blessed by the CIA/MI6, the Deep State. No matter who is the leader. Israel is a proxy of the Deep State. If you're mad at what Israel does then substitute “the CIA/MI6” for Israel and her leaders every single time. For all things of geopolitical interests in the ME and world that relies on that region. With the nice layer of plausible deniability to shield the US/UK from criticism.
Plaints that Israel goes off starting wars and who do they think they are dragging the US into their conflict and other sorts of blame shifting to Israeli leaders take on a much different and more understandable meaning when restated as the Deep State starting wars across the globe and who does the CIA/MI6 think they are dragging the US into their conflict.
This context will be closest to the truth. Reimagine this simple paradigm and the meaning of what Israel really is and why it does what it does grows crystal clear.
Thing is, realizing the things that Israel is blamed for as anger rises at them takes on a more uncomfortable meaning when it hits you that if we want to change Israel’s behavior and actions we, it is our responsibility moreso than the typical Israel’s, need to make our Deep State stop what it is doing there. The onus is on we, Americans (and Brits). And that’s a much more hazardous to our health, wealth and freedom proposition than wagging our fingers at the Israeli puppets the Deep State controls.
The tail doesn't wag the dog. Facing the growling mouth of a dog is more perilous than facing its tail. And that’s the truth of it.
Considering that Israel has apparently blackmailed many powerful/influential politicians and decision makers, and has been able to assassinate many people in other countries with impunity, and is the only country to have unacknowledged nukes that are not subjected to any type of inspections or nuclear agreements, I think it would be better to equate Israel to the part of the dog that has teeth rather than the tail.
Here, readers not named Michael G. Fons who obviously can't follow the reality of things, is how we apply reality to Michael G. Fons' post:
"Considering that *the CIA/MI6 Deep State* has apparently blackmailed many powerful/influential politicians and decision makers, and has been able to assassinate many people in other countries with impunity, and *controls* the only *proxy* country to have unacknowledged nukes that are not subjected to any type of inspections or nuclear agreements, I think [dele] *the CIA/MI6 Deep State is* [dele] the part of the dog that has teeth. [dele]"
See how that works? Easy-peasy. Cuts right through the façade directly to truth. For those not named Michael G. Fons.
For the sake of argument let's say that your idea is correct...and the wars that Israel has been fighting in the middles east for the past few decades have been orchestrated and perpetuated by the CIA/MI6/ run "Deep State" and not Israeli intelligence. If that is the case then it seems that high level decision makers within the CIA/MI6/ Deep State often put the priorities of Israel above those of the USA (like the recent US bombing of Iran), which could lead one to believe that high level decision makers within the CIA/MI6 run "Deep State" feel more of an allegiance towards Israel than they feel towards the USA or the UK.
MI6 grew out of the Secret Committee (the intelligence service) of the British East India Company. The British East India Company was a corporation with its own private military, which it used to enforce its trade monopoly over business throughout Asia. The CIA and its precursor, the OSS, were both trained and groomed by MI6. Once you understand that the intelligence services actually serve the corporations and their bankers, and NOT the citizens of the countries they supposedly serve, it all starts to make sense.
By gosh, you're getting there! But still holding on to a part of the illusion that should be the easiest to let go of. Do you really think the decision makers within the CIA/MI6/Deep State care about Israel's interests? Any more than they care about the US's interests? Or has the evidence you see in front of your very own eyes - invasion of our borders, hollowing out of American industry, looting of the public treasury to purchase the health and welfare of our newest uninvited neighbors and military-industrial complex that Schumer and Graham both boasted about "war being great for the US economy," the release of murderers on our street, the mutilations of our children, the destruction of our economy and millions of lives for a flu, forced injections of experimental biotech without informed consent, transformation of higher ed into indoctrination centers, appropriation of all major media to disseminate state propaganda that's worse than TASS/Pravda/Radio Moscow ever said - that evidence of how little the CIA/MI6/Deep State cares about Americans and Israelis for that matter makes you think they have any allegiance to Americans or Israelis? Or could it, might it, is it more likely that they have ZERO allegiance to Americans. Remember, they push the whole "global citizen" BS, Obama's "America is not an exceptional nation" proclamations. How much more of the "basket of deplorables" and "bitter clingers" statements do you need to realize that these people actually believe what they are saying, it's not empty rhetoric?
I know, it's a comfortable illusion to believe they care about Americans. Or that they care about Israelis more than Americans - after they shot them all up with 7-8-9-10+ of the bioweapon injections. Maybe, just maybe, the realization will set in that the CIA/MI6/Deep State care more about the global community (Globalists/Oligarchs/Monarchs/Crime Cartels) and themselves, their status, than Americans or Israelis. We're all just pawns, along for the ride. Maybe if we start to realize we are in the same f'ing boat as Israelis and not fight each other for a seat in it when the f'ing boat is scheduled to be sunk we can figure out a way to keep the boat from sinking, and direct our attentions to the real villains in this story. Not the ones the villains want us distracted to fight, using the age-old divide and conquer strategy.
Because that's the truth of it, our peril. It is shared. Our tormentors and persecutors are up, not sideways or down where they'd rather us look.
I think that another reason the CIA/MI6/Deep State are seemingly fighting wars in the Middle East that benifit Israel at the expense of the USA/UK, are the religious beliefs of the decision makers within the deep state For instance, I suspect that there are a fair number of Christian Zionist within the deep state who believe as Ted Cruz does that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. In addition to Christian Zionists, I suspect that there also some Jewish Zionists decision makers within the Deep state as well who's religious beliefs may make them feel more of an allegiance towards Israel than to the USA. Whether or not it is the CIA/MI6 or Israeli intelligence who is orchestrating the perpetual war in Middle East, it seems that the concept of a greater Israel is what we are moving towards with Israel taking more land in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank with the support of the US and the so-called deep state.
The whole divide and conquer. This is holding you back from true understanding. Must. Put. Down. Biases. And stop training your fire sideways at other in your boat. You only put holes in it, not at the powers that put us all in the same boat.
Thank you for addressing one of the most perplexing questions of the day. I've noted that Col. Larry Wilkerson has had an opinion on this that differs from the other Judge Nap guests, which confused me. I think you've got this right, even though it's a tough pill to swallow.
Now, would you please comment on whether the BRICS nations are also part of the globalist plot? Is Trump?
Yeah, no doubt you're right. Israel's history provided no right to the land and yes, it was an agreement reached by the WWII victors that gave Israel a homeland carved from the United Kingdom which affected virtually no one since there was no government for that ancient land (certain no Palestine). But Israel was given the land legally and they have a right to occupy it and to defend it. Yes, Israel is our eyes and ears in the Middle East and they are allies which give us good reason to support them. I am proud of the fact that the US has stood by them irrespective of the evil raised against them and I hope that friendship, tenuous though it might be, continues. I support Israel.
I’ve said the same thing for months if not years. In the 1980s, both Alexander Haig and then senator Joe Biden referred to Israel as a strategic asset of the USA. That’s the framework. Freedom Fox, do you think that Israel ever gets “off-leash” and forces American’s hand?
An additional consideration: Does anyone notice that Israel receives the US'most advanced exportable military technology?
Also: When Israel was created by the UN, the first two nations that approved it were the UK and US, both of whom approved the resolution within 12 seconds.
1948 - Harry S Truman administration. Ostensibly as Jewish homeland after persecution and Holocaust. That's the story and authorities are sticking to it. Then there's alternatives to consider. Like the one I present. Others have theirs. Many originate with Jewish cabal theories perpetuated by Jew haters.
LOL! Right after I call out the actual Jew haters! That's rich! You ain't too bright, are you? For liking to read stuff you disagree with you ain't so good at that are you?
What I describe is reality, an uncomfortable one for many Jews and Israel supporters. What I consider myself to be. But I can call out the puppetmasters of the state of Israel for who they are without hating Jews (myself). Called out from my deep love for my fellow Jew and the homeland, that for all real wrong reasons she was born, does exist. Born into slavery to the US/UK Deep State masters - who imposed their will on Jews at the tip of the same needles that Mengele used during plandemic, most injected with bioweapon population on the planet. I describe the reality of her creation and usefulness to the US/UK Deep State because I love so much I want the slaves to break free from the yoke and chains they were born into. And claim their God-given freedom - true freedom - they've been denied their entire existence.
But, sure, go ahead and call me a Jew-hater. The simple mind of a slave will reject many who seek to liberate them. Stockholm Syndrome, or whatever you want to call it. That's Mike Bond. So sad. I'll pray for you.
I thought it a very very tragic indication of the depth of rot from the top when BB forced the experimental jab on his entire population in violation of the Nuremberg code. The utter tragic irony of it. To my utter horror it was even forced it on pregnant and nursing mothers. Apparently he and Bourla (whose own mother was a Holocaust survivor ) made secret deals. The duo openly crowed about the entire nation of Israel being subjects of an experiment. Is there absolutely nothing these guys won’t do to further their own interests even eat their young.
He supported Hitler. Was a business partner with the German war machine and its funders...including the ones in the US. He and Prescott Bush were old friends, through John Rockefeller and their banks. Prescott got his hands in the Trading With Enemies cookie jar *during* WWII, until that inconvenient fact came to light in 1943. He was known as "Hitler's Banker," bank assets were seized, son George HW Bush joined the US Navy a week or two before Prescott's treachery was publicly released, GHWB's "patriotic display" of joining the USN was purely to distract and deflect from traitor accusations.
Remember that old, grainy picture of "downed naval aviator Bush" being picked up from the Pacific ocean by a US submarine? Yeah, sure. More like PR stunt. That served his political career. Heck, Dulles helped Prescott get his (literal) blood money back after the war, as he was setting up the new CIA from the OSS he had been leading. Dulles's hand was in the JFK assassination, removal from his CIA post ensured the president's brains were splattered in Dallas. Then LBJ brought him back into the fold for his efforts.
Dulles wasn't the guy who got blackmailed. He was the guy blackmailing. The concern for Jews in establishing the nation of Israel were just useful the cause of plopping a US/UK beachhead in the ME. The "moral" justification, public narrative. That "useful idiot" Jews would latch on to and defend to their last breath, believing the PR.
At this point I don't blame them, is what they were told, taught, believe. But I guaranty you that an Israel that controlled its own fate wouldn't do 90% of what it does that enflames the ME. That which enflames done on behalf of the US/UK Globalist American-British Empire. Plausible deniability that lets the Jews take the heat for it.
Truly, the tail does not wag the dog. No matter how much those who hate Jews, want to hate Jews, have blood libel lust inside them to hate Jews want that to be the case. Simply not true. They're pawns in a much bigger game. Just like we are.
the Dulles Brothers...ugh...the evil in the world is usually caused family or family relations....like the Dulles Brothers...Elite tools from birth...groomed to become leaders in the Global scheme for 1 World Government through Global Dialectics and control of the language..that Orwell predicted and warned about. First the helping of the Germans DURING the War...coordinating the creation of the League of Nations..then helping installing the Communists in Russia they then helped coordinate the behind the scenes creating and industrializing and militarizing Europe and the US...increasingly leading to the planned World War 2..with the post War Global solutions all ready being planned... the Creation of the State NOT NATION of Israel by the UN was FINANCED mostly by the British and French Rothschild banks....just like in WW1.
Typical hasbara. The tactic is, any criticism or disagreement at sll uncorks an unstoppable, expanding river of abuse. That's why there's often only agreement to their insane comments, because they attack. Will the next round be 4, 8, 16 missives of personal vitriol? We'll just have to see! At first I thought she was just massively deluded, but there's always purpose behind this much venom and protective rage specifically about Israel and the Zionists.
It so funny, you just like all the Jew haters, same unoriginal crap. It's a hate bot! This user is a programmed Jew hate bot!! Got it, now I'm on to it. Gig is up, too predictable same language multiple user accounts.
Reporting this user as a hate bot, encourage real users to do the same.
Your SS history is all Jew hate, all the time. One-track simpleton mind. Product of a pathetic life. Maybe you should visit Canada to schedule a MAiD visit?
No, sweetie, I'm anti-theocracy, that's all. You can try to sell the country out for one and say it's for love of a religious group, but you're still violating the 1st amendment.
There is a ton of "between the lines" packed into this post John. It covers a LOT of ground. Though Washington was right, the world today is an infinitely 'smaller' place with instantaneous weapons and communications.....and propaganda and knee jerk reactions that are just as fast and just as dangerous. I submit that the "monied elites" on BOTH sides benefit greatly from the 'manufacturing' of conflict, war and the marketing of HATE.
TY! We are the same age and I think that with age, things become clearer. However, for me at least, that clarity comes with a very real sadness and frustration.
Yeah, I never had any faith in the critical thinking abilities of the general population even as a teenager. And I knew there was a lot of pure evil and corruption. Still, I thought on balance people, including those in power mostly tended towards decency and liked to help. Finally about 15 years ago I had to admit the truth to myself, begrudgingly.
I watched the Christian community in Iraq be destroyed as many Christians did. I watched Benghazi horror after that. There are many sincere praying Christians paying attention. There were children in Iraq who refused to deny Jesus who were martyred. There is nothing new under the sun when you boil it back to Genesis. People get ready…there’s a train a comin!
Ron Paul repeatedly attempted to make people understand why they needed to stay home take care of our own business, stop attempting to be a policeman of the world. Ron Paul was squeezed out of the Fox News 2008 Presidential Debate even though he had a higher popularity than the other candidates. So, DUH.......we don't have Free & Fair Elections, we only have SELECTIONS. Which is why I always write my own name on every blank slot in protest. Who knows how to govern me best? only ME. If it's a Local election I participate, since I firmly believe we will RESTORE the Planet & Humanity from the ground up and LOCAL is very important.
Not to mention: Israel gets more foreign aid from America than all African countries combined. That's just ridiculous, they have become parasites. Also they need to register as a Foreign Agent in America. AIPAC, AFIL, ZOA, CIAC, ADL and it goes on & on. Here is a list of their Lobby Groups.......ridiculous. https://ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/introlobby.html
I like Ron and support his presidential run but the World is too small for his isolationism. I detest and fear war as much as the next man but the World suffered and people died twice because we opted not to get involved early.
President Trump is the first President to actually quit interfering with Israel’s destiny. Israel has lived with constant attacks since its founding in 1948. Most Presidents have kept Israel on a tight leash preventing it from ensuring its ongoing existence. Israel has given land for peace multiple times and still received attacks. The Intifada that the Left is promoting is one long terrorist campaign. Israel withdrew from Gaza in the summer of 2005 leaving all the infrastructure in place for Gaza to have a jewel on the Mediterranean. Instead, Hamas built terror tunnels and spent years launching missiles at civilian communities before culminating in the October 7 attack on civilians and the capture of hostages.
The US has not poured a fraction of the treasure into Israel that it has into Ukraine, Iraq, or Afghanistan and has not sacrificed American troops. Israel is the only Western style democracy in the region and is a valued partner of the United States. The immense Hamas propaganda machine amplified by the Left and the ancient anti-Semitic animus toward the Jewish people is a threat to Israel — but it is a greater threat to Western nations who at best ignore the disruptive Palestinian protests based on lies or at worst encourage and support those protests. Trump is focused on cleaning up the mess in our nation with our threats from abroad and is showing Netanyahu the same respect to deal with the threats to his nation.
Thank you. I was waiting on someone to chime in with this side of the story.
As a Christian who believes in the Word of God as truth and believes also in the sovereignty of God, it’s interesting to me to read others comments stating the truth between the lines. The Bible is the only book to survive throughout the ages as consistent (no matter what some may try to tell you) and verifiable. So when I read of Israel becoming a nation in one day in Isaiah and then seeing that historically happened, I’m not surprised. When I see an influx of Jewish people coming back to their homeland, I am not surprised. When I see others claiming Israel is somehow the “invader”, when there is plenty of archaeological proof that Israel as a nation and as a country existed thousands of years ago, vs the lack of ANY proof of Palestinian control of the land until AD 165 when Israel was renamed as Palestinia by the current Emperor who hated the Jews and exiled them from the land… I am not surprised.
And, when I read in Revelation that NO COUNTRY will stand in support of Israel at the end, so that God can receive the Glory when they are attacked and their attackers are defeated… I am not surprised at the comments criticizing Israel. No matter what you believe, in the end God will remain sovereign.
Every Christian that believes in the salvation of Jesus Christ will understand that. And everyone else will not.
This is absolutely straight, "Hasbara" propaganda. Thanks for spelling out the Israeli government position for us. I will mention one fact that you did not state:
Since 2005, Gaza has been surrounded by walls and barbed wire on all land borders. Access by sea is policed by Israel Navy patrols--if Gaza fishermen go just a little too far out, they are fired upon by the Israelis. There was an airport in Gaza, but it has been closed since 2005. In short, Israel controls all access in or out of Gaza--nothing gets in or out without their say so. Israel uses this situation to control everything in Gaza, including what food the population gets to eat. (Israeli politicians have boasted about how they put Gaza "on a diet".) This is hardly leaving Gaza to be "a jewel on the Mediterranean".
It is hardly surprising that the Palestinians would rebel against this situation, and October 7th was plainly exactly that. And Israel has plainly used that rebellion as an excuse to destroy the infrastructure they so kindly left behind in 2005. We have all seen the videos of the grotesque destruction that has resulted.
And thanks to you for spelling out Hamas's position for us.
And I will mention one fact that you did not state:
That since 2005, Hamas has waged a (largely unreported in Western media) daily war against Israel that started with suicide bombings and graduated to rocket firing. The closing of the borders was a reaction to this, not the cause of it.
And the 'Palestinians rebellion' on October 7th? If anything has ever been grotesque in the history of mankind, then after the nazi holocaust, this was surely it. You seem to be pretty much apologising for it. Your friends in Hamas will never stop their campaign of hatred until Israel is destroyed, and every Gazan that dies along the way is simply a publicity opportunity for them to get people like you to raise your voice in support.
The truth is, we all know that Hamas could stop the conflict tomorrow by releasing all the hostages that they haven't yet murdered and ceasing their attacks on Israel. Instead they continue to use the millions in aid funnelled by the morons of this world to build more tunnels and buy more weapons. And hide behind their own women and children like the cowards they are.
I disagree; many very intelligent people believe; all the Proof exists,if you bother to READ. (&," sky daddy"? Ok; who taught you, "Right OR wrong"? & Why do most moral humans agree? Good luck,I'll wait).
I’m not sure what happened to Charlie Kirk! That doesn’t make me a lunatic. I once trusted the 911 lies and now regret that having a family member serve in both the Iraq & Afghanistan wars! I pray for discernment during these very dark times in what I believe is a war between Evil & Team Humanity 🙏
Excellent point! Personally, I am still looking at new evidence that is still emerging. I think I must have been out of my mind for ever just accepting the OFFICIAL STORY out of hand which is what I did up until 9/11 happened. They [FBI] just today gave a press conference where they refused to answer, in my opinion, important questions. If you're looking for lunatics, you need look no further than the people who believe these people are telling the whole truth.
One point that has been absolutely clear to me for almost four years: THERE WAS NO PANDEMIC. All the "restrictions" and "masks" and finally the "vaccine"...those toxic injections that harm and kill and destroy fertility and now continuing the madness.... the new line of mRNA "vaccines" which are meant to harm and kill as well...We saw Biden get his "vaccine"...but then he was already senile. These are bioweapons....not "vaccines"...
So--Is Big Don the "father"of the bioweapon? Is that what happened to us? Who is he working for? Biden is for sure senile...but Don...he's a monster.
As a student of history in college and a continued interest in history my whole life, I don't see the support from Americans for the Ukraine or Israel as a "not America first." I believe they see control of wars and other countries as their America first. Just as Americans, who were clueless, supported VietNam war, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq etc wars as America first. Most people are clueless about the real reasons for those wars-American control, American power and resources for America from other countries. On the other hand, being Jewish I have a differnt take on Israel. All my grandparents were ousted from Russia and zRomania so many years ago-and only because they were Jewish. I had relatives diein the Holocaust. Of course, the killing of those living in what they call Palestine(BTW they are Arabs, not Palestinians) is tragic and I see that. But hello-one Jewish state that more than once agreed to a 2 state solution(including in 1948) and the Arabs refused. And shall Jews ever forget Oct 7th. Jews have been scapegoats since the days of Constantine and anti-semitism is the highest ever in the US. Most people would like to see nothing more than from the "river to the sea." There are fewer Jews in the world now than before WW2. Keep in mind, America also wants to keep a foothold in the Middle East and Israel helps them do that. It's not all altruism. Thanks for letting me have my say. VietNam started me on the road to peace everywhere(and even a stint in univ. occupations and in jail ). Peace to all.
I applaud John’s article! We are all free to express our views. If someone takes offense that is not a reason for the opinion to be removed. We should be able to have conversations stating our views and providing support. I believe you should simply respond by proving how/if John is wrong. With facts, not emotion.
Dual citizenship is a massive problem. American First needs to begin with NO DUAL CITIZENSHIP holders. Israel, Ukraine or anywhere else. BE AMERICAN OR GTFO of government [for starters]. Second, I would outlaw lapel pins and foreign flags in Congress. What an outrage! You're either an American or you're working for someone else. It's that simple.
Dual citizenship is actually an internet ‘issue’, and is specifically focused on Jews for some reason. In order to become an Israeli citizen, you must live there permanently for a year. Let me know when you’ve noticed your reps in Congress disappearing for that length of time.
The US government does not keep any records of anyone in Congress who may have dual citizenship, Anything that is discussed about this is speculation. Interestingly, there appears to be only ONE country that normally comes up in this conversation.
And as most of the internet is talking about US politicians holding citizenship with Israel, becoming a citizen, even if you are Jewish, is not a simple process. https://immigrantinvest.com/blog/israel-citizenship/
LOL….My browser won’t let me into ‘Newsfeed’ advising that its certification isn’t current. In any event, there was a bill in Congress to initiate publicity of any Congress people with dual citizenship which apparently died in Congress. There is NO official indication of any politicians with dual citizenship. And just the fact that your ‘source’ indicates ‘89%’ is somewhat laughable. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr7484
I have always felt that we have no business in foreign wars. We as Americans cannot possibly understand what it is like in that country growing up and all the cultural implications etc that go into the discourse these countries have with each other. I agree we really need to stick with America First! And let other countries work out their own issues. Unless a specific situation calls for our assistance and then all options much be weighed.
John, again you face the 3rd rail of US policy, and do not mention why that is so: any open rational and correct, and necessary criticism of Israel, Zionism, the deliberate slaughter of Palestinians and destruction of THEIR HOMELAND since 1948, will ignite the jewish monied class and they will destroy you politically, the same ol Holocaust Blackmail [ before your time, Senator Percy is a good example] . Trump knows this (esp from NY) and thus his horrific support of Israel who continues their policy of Greater Israel with the fraud of "destroying HAMAS"
And to this day, even you walk this issue on tiptoes. That is the undoing of US of A.
It seems that the list of priorities for most US politicians is Israel 1st, Ukraine 2nd, America last.
It often seems that way.
For politicians, it is more like: Myself first, my buddies and partners second, ordinary Americans - who cares!
from what I see, it doesn't seem that way, it is that way.
We live in a very small World. I wonder what will happen when a NATO country is attacked and Article 5 is invoked...will you argue isolationism then as well? We have failed enough of our allies...we're going to find ourselves under attack with lots of enemies and zero allies to help us if we aren't careful.
We have already been attacked from the inside, and many Americans are not aware of it despite Ike's warning in 1961. The Zionists have driven a stake into the heart of America with JFK's assassination, and in the younger generations with Charlie's assassination.

The role of the Scofield Bible in that capture is a factor as demonstrated by Ted Cruz interview with Tucker. I have many Christian friends who think just as Cruz does, but of course the $15 million he has received during his career from AIPAC does not filter down to the average Joe on the street.
As Candace noted so well last night, this crisis is not about left-right or conservative v. liberal. It is clearly good v. evil. The Zionists are evil in their efforts towards global domination. That so many Americans acquiesce demonstrate and validate that we have the government we deserve.
Most who comment about Israel in discussions have a fundamentally flawed understanding of what Israel is: Israel is a CIA/MI6 construct.

The tail doesn't wag the dog. Facing the growling mouth of a dog is more perilous than facing its tail. And that’s the truth of it.
Yes, it is probably not a coincident that Israel and the CIA were birthed the same year.
Thank you. Finally, a good explanation!
Considering that Israel has apparently blackmailed many powerful/influential politicians and decision makers, and has been able to assassinate many people in other countries with impunity, and is the only country to have unacknowledged nukes that are not subjected to any type of inspections or nuclear agreements, I think it would be better to equate Israel to the part of the dog that has teeth rather than the tail.
Here, readers not named Michael G. Fons who obviously can't follow the reality of things, is how we apply reality to Michael G. Fons' post:
"Considering that *the CIA/MI6 Deep State* has apparently blackmailed many powerful/influential politicians and decision makers, and has been able to assassinate many people in other countries with impunity, and *controls* the only *proxy* country to have unacknowledged nukes that are not subjected to any type of inspections or nuclear agreements, I think [dele] *the CIA/MI6 Deep State is* [dele] the part of the dog that has teeth. [dele]"
See how that works? Easy-peasy. Cuts right through the façade directly to truth. For those not named Michael G. Fons.
For the sake of argument let's say that your idea is correct...and the wars that Israel has been fighting in the middles east for the past few decades have been orchestrated and perpetuated by the CIA/MI6/ run "Deep State" and not Israeli intelligence. If that is the case then it seems that high level decision makers within the CIA/MI6/ Deep State often put the priorities of Israel above those of the USA (like the recent US bombing of Iran), which could lead one to believe that high level decision makers within the CIA/MI6 run "Deep State" feel more of an allegiance towards Israel than they feel towards the USA or the UK.
MI6 grew out of the Secret Committee (the intelligence service) of the British East India Company. The British East India Company was a corporation with its own private military, which it used to enforce its trade monopoly over business throughout Asia. The CIA and its precursor, the OSS, were both trained and groomed by MI6. Once you understand that the intelligence services actually serve the corporations and their bankers, and NOT the citizens of the countries they supposedly serve, it all starts to make sense.
By gosh, you're getting there! But still holding on to a part of the illusion that should be the easiest to let go of. Do you really think the decision makers within the CIA/MI6/Deep State care about Israel's interests? Any more than they care about the US's interests? Or has the evidence you see in front of your very own eyes - invasion of our borders, hollowing out of American industry, looting of the public treasury to purchase the health and welfare of our newest uninvited neighbors and military-industrial complex that Schumer and Graham both boasted about "war being great for the US economy," the release of murderers on our street, the mutilations of our children, the destruction of our economy and millions of lives for a flu, forced injections of experimental biotech without informed consent, transformation of higher ed into indoctrination centers, appropriation of all major media to disseminate state propaganda that's worse than TASS/Pravda/Radio Moscow ever said - that evidence of how little the CIA/MI6/Deep State cares about Americans and Israelis for that matter makes you think they have any allegiance to Americans or Israelis? Or could it, might it, is it more likely that they have ZERO allegiance to Americans. Remember, they push the whole "global citizen" BS, Obama's "America is not an exceptional nation" proclamations. How much more of the "basket of deplorables" and "bitter clingers" statements do you need to realize that these people actually believe what they are saying, it's not empty rhetoric?
I know, it's a comfortable illusion to believe they care about Americans. Or that they care about Israelis more than Americans - after they shot them all up with 7-8-9-10+ of the bioweapon injections. Maybe, just maybe, the realization will set in that the CIA/MI6/Deep State care more about the global community (Globalists/Oligarchs/Monarchs/Crime Cartels) and themselves, their status, than Americans or Israelis. We're all just pawns, along for the ride. Maybe if we start to realize we are in the same f'ing boat as Israelis and not fight each other for a seat in it when the f'ing boat is scheduled to be sunk we can figure out a way to keep the boat from sinking, and direct our attentions to the real villains in this story. Not the ones the villains want us distracted to fight, using the age-old divide and conquer strategy.
Because that's the truth of it, our peril. It is shared. Our tormentors and persecutors are up, not sideways or down where they'd rather us look.
I think that another reason the CIA/MI6/Deep State are seemingly fighting wars in the Middle East that benifit Israel at the expense of the USA/UK, are the religious beliefs of the decision makers within the deep state For instance, I suspect that there are a fair number of Christian Zionist within the deep state who believe as Ted Cruz does that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. In addition to Christian Zionists, I suspect that there also some Jewish Zionists decision makers within the Deep state as well who's religious beliefs may make them feel more of an allegiance towards Israel than to the USA. Whether or not it is the CIA/MI6 or Israeli intelligence who is orchestrating the perpetual war in Middle East, it seems that the concept of a greater Israel is what we are moving towards with Israel taking more land in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank with the support of the US and the so-called deep state.
"Zionists"
The whole divide and conquer. This is holding you back from true understanding. Must. Put. Down. Biases. And stop training your fire sideways at other in your boat. You only put holes in it, not at the powers that put us all in the same boat.
Thank you for addressing one of the most perplexing questions of the day. I've noted that Col. Larry Wilkerson has had an opinion on this that differs from the other Judge Nap guests, which confused me. I think you've got this right, even though it's a tough pill to swallow.
Now, would you please comment on whether the BRICS nations are also part of the globalist plot? Is Trump?
A little complicated to follow the exotic *punctuation*, but I get it. ChIA Pet and MIss 6sie control the geo-sitch.
Yeah, no doubt you're right. Israel's history provided no right to the land and yes, it was an agreement reached by the WWII victors that gave Israel a homeland carved from the United Kingdom which affected virtually no one since there was no government for that ancient land (certain no Palestine). But Israel was given the land legally and they have a right to occupy it and to defend it. Yes, Israel is our eyes and ears in the Middle East and they are allies which give us good reason to support them. I am proud of the fact that the US has stood by them irrespective of the evil raised against them and I hope that friendship, tenuous though it might be, continues. I support Israel.
I’ve often stated that if Israel was in South America, the entire US/UK (CIA/MI6) interest in them would be non-existent.
I’ve said the same thing for months if not years. In the 1980s, both Alexander Haig and then senator Joe Biden referred to Israel as a strategic asset of the USA. That’s the framework. Freedom Fox, do you think that Israel ever gets “off-leash” and forces American’s hand?
An "off-leash" Israeli PM gets the Rabin treatment.
An additional consideration: Does anyone notice that Israel receives the US'most advanced exportable military technology?
Also: When Israel was created by the UN, the first two nations that approved it were the UK and US, both of whom approved the resolution within 12 seconds.
Do you know any other reason why Israel was birthed during the Johnson administration in particular?
1948 - Harry S Truman administration. Ostensibly as Jewish homeland after persecution and Holocaust. That's the story and authorities are sticking to it. Then there's alternatives to consider. Like the one I present. Others have theirs. Many originate with Jewish cabal theories perpetuated by Jew haters.
Yours are the rantings of a delusional Jew hater, nothing more, nothing less.
LOL! Right after I call out the actual Jew haters! That's rich! You ain't too bright, are you? For liking to read stuff you disagree with you ain't so good at that are you?
What I describe is reality, an uncomfortable one for many Jews and Israel supporters. What I consider myself to be. But I can call out the puppetmasters of the state of Israel for who they are without hating Jews (myself). Called out from my deep love for my fellow Jew and the homeland, that for all real wrong reasons she was born, does exist. Born into slavery to the US/UK Deep State masters - who imposed their will on Jews at the tip of the same needles that Mengele used during plandemic, most injected with bioweapon population on the planet. I describe the reality of her creation and usefulness to the US/UK Deep State because I love so much I want the slaves to break free from the yoke and chains they were born into. And claim their God-given freedom - true freedom - they've been denied their entire existence.
But, sure, go ahead and call me a Jew-hater. The simple mind of a slave will reject many who seek to liberate them. Stockholm Syndrome, or whatever you want to call it. That's Mike Bond. So sad. I'll pray for you.
I thought it a very very tragic indication of the depth of rot from the top when BB forced the experimental jab on his entire population in violation of the Nuremberg code. The utter tragic irony of it. To my utter horror it was even forced it on pregnant and nursing mothers. Apparently he and Bourla (whose own mother was a Holocaust survivor ) made secret deals. The duo openly crowed about the entire nation of Israel being subjects of an experiment. Is there absolutely nothing these guys won’t do to further their own interests even eat their young.
Wasn’t Dulles blackmailed by then Z-critters?
Do you think Dulles gave two sh!ts about "Z-critters?" He made sure the gas showers and ovens were paid for during WWII.
https://freedomfox.substack.com/p/knowing-the-true-adversary
He supported Hitler. Was a business partner with the German war machine and its funders...including the ones in the US. He and Prescott Bush were old friends, through John Rockefeller and their banks. Prescott got his hands in the Trading With Enemies cookie jar *during* WWII, until that inconvenient fact came to light in 1943. He was known as "Hitler's Banker," bank assets were seized, son George HW Bush joined the US Navy a week or two before Prescott's treachery was publicly released, GHWB's "patriotic display" of joining the USN was purely to distract and deflect from traitor accusations.
Remember that old, grainy picture of "downed naval aviator Bush" being picked up from the Pacific ocean by a US submarine? Yeah, sure. More like PR stunt. That served his political career. Heck, Dulles helped Prescott get his (literal) blood money back after the war, as he was setting up the new CIA from the OSS he had been leading. Dulles's hand was in the JFK assassination, removal from his CIA post ensured the president's brains were splattered in Dallas. Then LBJ brought him back into the fold for his efforts.
Dulles wasn't the guy who got blackmailed. He was the guy blackmailing. The concern for Jews in establishing the nation of Israel were just useful the cause of plopping a US/UK beachhead in the ME. The "moral" justification, public narrative. That "useful idiot" Jews would latch on to and defend to their last breath, believing the PR.
At this point I don't blame them, is what they were told, taught, believe. But I guaranty you that an Israel that controlled its own fate wouldn't do 90% of what it does that enflames the ME. That which enflames done on behalf of the US/UK Globalist American-British Empire. Plausible deniability that lets the Jews take the heat for it.
Truly, the tail does not wag the dog. No matter how much those who hate Jews, want to hate Jews, have blood libel lust inside them to hate Jews want that to be the case. Simply not true. They're pawns in a much bigger game. Just like we are.
the Dulles Brothers...ugh...the evil in the world is usually caused family or family relations....like the Dulles Brothers...Elite tools from birth...groomed to become leaders in the Global scheme for 1 World Government through Global Dialectics and control of the language..that Orwell predicted and warned about. First the helping of the Germans DURING the War...coordinating the creation of the League of Nations..then helping installing the Communists in Russia they then helped coordinate the behind the scenes creating and industrializing and militarizing Europe and the US...increasingly leading to the planned World War 2..with the post War Global solutions all ready being planned... the Creation of the State NOT NATION of Israel by the UN was FINANCED mostly by the British and French Rothschild banks....just like in WW1.
All of this crap is a deflection from Israel's infiltration of our government.
LOL, another dumdum. Here, I'll help the slow ones:
"All of this *truth* is a *reflection of* the *CIA/MI6/Deep State's* infiltration of our government.
Fixed it for you!!
Even your handle is focus grouped. Take your nonsense back to your handlers for a revision.
Thing about Jew haters you can count on, is they're always the stupidest ones in any room. Dimmest bulbs in the box.
Typical hasbara. The tactic is, any criticism or disagreement at sll uncorks an unstoppable, expanding river of abuse. That's why there's often only agreement to their insane comments, because they attack. Will the next round be 4, 8, 16 missives of personal vitriol? We'll just have to see! At first I thought she was just massively deluded, but there's always purpose behind this much venom and protective rage specifically about Israel and the Zionists.
It so funny, you just like all the Jew haters, same unoriginal crap. It's a hate bot! This user is a programmed Jew hate bot!! Got it, now I'm on to it. Gig is up, too predictable same language multiple user accounts.
Reporting this user as a hate bot, encourage real users to do the same.
Your SS history is all Jew hate, all the time. One-track simpleton mind. Product of a pathetic life. Maybe you should visit Canada to schedule a MAiD visit?
No, sweetie, I'm anti-theocracy, that's all. You can try to sell the country out for one and say it's for love of a religious group, but you're still violating the 1st amendment.
There is a ton of "between the lines" packed into this post John. It covers a LOT of ground. Though Washington was right, the world today is an infinitely 'smaller' place with instantaneous weapons and communications.....and propaganda and knee jerk reactions that are just as fast and just as dangerous. I submit that the "monied elites" on BOTH sides benefit greatly from the 'manufacturing' of conflict, war and the marketing of HATE.
Your submission gets an "A+" from me.
TY! We are the same age and I think that with age, things become clearer. However, for me at least, that clarity comes with a very real sadness and frustration.
Yeah, I never had any faith in the critical thinking abilities of the general population even as a teenager. And I knew there was a lot of pure evil and corruption. Still, I thought on balance people, including those in power mostly tended towards decency and liked to help. Finally about 15 years ago I had to admit the truth to myself, begrudgingly.
I watched the Christian community in Iraq be destroyed as many Christians did. I watched Benghazi horror after that. There are many sincere praying Christians paying attention. There were children in Iraq who refused to deny Jesus who were martyred. There is nothing new under the sun when you boil it back to Genesis. People get ready…there’s a train a comin!
Ron Paul repeatedly attempted to make people understand why they needed to stay home take care of our own business, stop attempting to be a policeman of the world. Ron Paul was squeezed out of the Fox News 2008 Presidential Debate even though he had a higher popularity than the other candidates. So, DUH.......we don't have Free & Fair Elections, we only have SELECTIONS. Which is why I always write my own name on every blank slot in protest. Who knows how to govern me best? only ME. If it's a Local election I participate, since I firmly believe we will RESTORE the Planet & Humanity from the ground up and LOCAL is very important.
Not to mention: Israel gets more foreign aid from America than all African countries combined. That's just ridiculous, they have become parasites. Also they need to register as a Foreign Agent in America. AIPAC, AFIL, ZOA, CIAC, ADL and it goes on & on. Here is a list of their Lobby Groups.......ridiculous. https://ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/introlobby.html
Besides, read Shlomo Sands book: The Invention of the Jewish People . Shlomo Sand is an Austrian-born Israeli post-Zionist historian and socialist. https://www.amazon.com/Invention-Jewish-People-Shlomo-Sand/dp/1788736613
Lots of YouTube videos of him lecturing as well. He currently teaches contemporary history at the University of Tel Aviv.
America needs to get it's own shit together and do a big re-group before it starts trying to save the world.
I like Ron and support his presidential run but the World is too small for his isolationism. I detest and fear war as much as the next man but the World suffered and people died twice because we opted not to get involved early.
Thanks for writing this. Every word makes sense.
President Trump is the first President to actually quit interfering with Israel’s destiny. Israel has lived with constant attacks since its founding in 1948. Most Presidents have kept Israel on a tight leash preventing it from ensuring its ongoing existence. Israel has given land for peace multiple times and still received attacks. The Intifada that the Left is promoting is one long terrorist campaign. Israel withdrew from Gaza in the summer of 2005 leaving all the infrastructure in place for Gaza to have a jewel on the Mediterranean. Instead, Hamas built terror tunnels and spent years launching missiles at civilian communities before culminating in the October 7 attack on civilians and the capture of hostages.
The US has not poured a fraction of the treasure into Israel that it has into Ukraine, Iraq, or Afghanistan and has not sacrificed American troops. Israel is the only Western style democracy in the region and is a valued partner of the United States. The immense Hamas propaganda machine amplified by the Left and the ancient anti-Semitic animus toward the Jewish people is a threat to Israel — but it is a greater threat to Western nations who at best ignore the disruptive Palestinian protests based on lies or at worst encourage and support those protests. Trump is focused on cleaning up the mess in our nation with our threats from abroad and is showing Netanyahu the same respect to deal with the threats to his nation.
Thank you. I was waiting on someone to chime in with this side of the story.
As a Christian who believes in the Word of God as truth and believes also in the sovereignty of God, it’s interesting to me to read others comments stating the truth between the lines. The Bible is the only book to survive throughout the ages as consistent (no matter what some may try to tell you) and verifiable. So when I read of Israel becoming a nation in one day in Isaiah and then seeing that historically happened, I’m not surprised. When I see an influx of Jewish people coming back to their homeland, I am not surprised. When I see others claiming Israel is somehow the “invader”, when there is plenty of archaeological proof that Israel as a nation and as a country existed thousands of years ago, vs the lack of ANY proof of Palestinian control of the land until AD 165 when Israel was renamed as Palestinia by the current Emperor who hated the Jews and exiled them from the land… I am not surprised.
And, when I read in Revelation that NO COUNTRY will stand in support of Israel at the end, so that God can receive the Glory when they are attacked and their attackers are defeated… I am not surprised at the comments criticizing Israel. No matter what you believe, in the end God will remain sovereign.
Every Christian that believes in the salvation of Jesus Christ will understand that. And everyone else will not.
This is absolutely straight, "Hasbara" propaganda. Thanks for spelling out the Israeli government position for us. I will mention one fact that you did not state:
Since 2005, Gaza has been surrounded by walls and barbed wire on all land borders. Access by sea is policed by Israel Navy patrols--if Gaza fishermen go just a little too far out, they are fired upon by the Israelis. There was an airport in Gaza, but it has been closed since 2005. In short, Israel controls all access in or out of Gaza--nothing gets in or out without their say so. Israel uses this situation to control everything in Gaza, including what food the population gets to eat. (Israeli politicians have boasted about how they put Gaza "on a diet".) This is hardly leaving Gaza to be "a jewel on the Mediterranean".
It is hardly surprising that the Palestinians would rebel against this situation, and October 7th was plainly exactly that. And Israel has plainly used that rebellion as an excuse to destroy the infrastructure they so kindly left behind in 2005. We have all seen the videos of the grotesque destruction that has resulted.
And thanks to you for spelling out Hamas's position for us.
And I will mention one fact that you did not state:
That since 2005, Hamas has waged a (largely unreported in Western media) daily war against Israel that started with suicide bombings and graduated to rocket firing. The closing of the borders was a reaction to this, not the cause of it.
And the 'Palestinians rebellion' on October 7th? If anything has ever been grotesque in the history of mankind, then after the nazi holocaust, this was surely it. You seem to be pretty much apologising for it. Your friends in Hamas will never stop their campaign of hatred until Israel is destroyed, and every Gazan that dies along the way is simply a publicity opportunity for them to get people like you to raise your voice in support.
The truth is, we all know that Hamas could stop the conflict tomorrow by releasing all the hostages that they haven't yet murdered and ceasing their attacks on Israel. Instead they continue to use the millions in aid funnelled by the morons of this world to build more tunnels and buy more weapons. And hide behind their own women and children like the cowards they are.
Hasbara.
You seem to forget the wall between Egypt and Gaza.
You write with words of knowledge Brent…first time I’ve seen truthful details spelled out in reader comments!! Refreshing I tell you!!
"President Trump is the first President to actually quit interfering with Israel’s destiny."
Israel has no destiny, just hegemony, since their inception with the support of the UK and the U.S.
The rest of your comment was false, too.
Bs.Read your bible or,download a version & use the mind God gave you,asap. Truth bites when you don't believe.
"Bs.Read your bible or,download a version & use the mind God gave you,asap."
The bible was written, and is still believed by ignorant people, two thousand years ago.
"Truth bites when you don't believe."
I do not need a sky daddy to know right from wrong.
I disagree; many very intelligent people believe; all the Proof exists,if you bother to READ. (&," sky daddy"? Ok; who taught you, "Right OR wrong"? & Why do most moral humans agree? Good luck,I'll wait).
Maybe,you'd find this guy more diplomatic than I can seem to be, reading your reply.https://youtu.be/ET3ZWkt5Z0M?si=OKxnsyMUybFx93Sv
Intelligent people conduct themselves wisely on this planet, without a two-thousand-year-old tome.
100% Correct 👍
I’m not sure what happened to Charlie Kirk! That doesn’t make me a lunatic. I once trusted the 911 lies and now regret that having a family member serve in both the Iraq & Afghanistan wars! I pray for discernment during these very dark times in what I believe is a war between Evil & Team Humanity 🙏
Excellent point! Personally, I am still looking at new evidence that is still emerging. I think I must have been out of my mind for ever just accepting the OFFICIAL STORY out of hand which is what I did up until 9/11 happened. They [FBI] just today gave a press conference where they refused to answer, in my opinion, important questions. If you're looking for lunatics, you need look no further than the people who believe these people are telling the whole truth.
One point that has been absolutely clear to me for almost four years: THERE WAS NO PANDEMIC. All the "restrictions" and "masks" and finally the "vaccine"...those toxic injections that harm and kill and destroy fertility and now continuing the madness.... the new line of mRNA "vaccines" which are meant to harm and kill as well...We saw Biden get his "vaccine"...but then he was already senile. These are bioweapons....not "vaccines"...
So--Is Big Don the "father"of the bioweapon? Is that what happened to us? Who is he working for? Biden is for sure senile...but Don...he's a monster.
Thank you for this post. More people are "noticing" and thankfully, speaking out.
As a student of history in college and a continued interest in history my whole life, I don't see the support from Americans for the Ukraine or Israel as a "not America first." I believe they see control of wars and other countries as their America first. Just as Americans, who were clueless, supported VietNam war, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq etc wars as America first. Most people are clueless about the real reasons for those wars-American control, American power and resources for America from other countries. On the other hand, being Jewish I have a differnt take on Israel. All my grandparents were ousted from Russia and zRomania so many years ago-and only because they were Jewish. I had relatives diein the Holocaust. Of course, the killing of those living in what they call Palestine(BTW they are Arabs, not Palestinians) is tragic and I see that. But hello-one Jewish state that more than once agreed to a 2 state solution(including in 1948) and the Arabs refused. And shall Jews ever forget Oct 7th. Jews have been scapegoats since the days of Constantine and anti-semitism is the highest ever in the US. Most people would like to see nothing more than from the "river to the sea." There are fewer Jews in the world now than before WW2. Keep in mind, America also wants to keep a foothold in the Middle East and Israel helps them do that. It's not all altruism. Thanks for letting me have my say. VietNam started me on the road to peace everywhere(and even a stint in univ. occupations and in jail ). Peace to all.
Thank you. My full respect goes to your family and the suffering they experienced. This story is much more complicated than most people realize.
Thank you. And yes it is very complicated.
John - please stick to reporting on matters pertaining to science & medicine. I found portions of your column quite inaccurate and offensive.
I applaud John’s article! We are all free to express our views. If someone takes offense that is not a reason for the opinion to be removed. We should be able to have conversations stating our views and providing support. I believe you should simply respond by proving how/if John is wrong. With facts, not emotion.
I am leaving this Substack.
I must admit that I came here originally for Dr. .McCullough’s information, and have other sites that I go to for political discussion.
So well written. Going to share with some friends who will now tell me I'm crazy.
Dual citizenship is a massive problem. American First needs to begin with NO DUAL CITIZENSHIP holders. Israel, Ukraine or anywhere else. BE AMERICAN OR GTFO of government [for starters]. Second, I would outlaw lapel pins and foreign flags in Congress. What an outrage! You're either an American or you're working for someone else. It's that simple.
Dual citizenship is actually an internet ‘issue’, and is specifically focused on Jews for some reason. In order to become an Israeli citizen, you must live there permanently for a year. Let me know when you’ve noticed your reps in Congress disappearing for that length of time.
62 countries have dual citizenship with US. In 1990 only 45 countries [which was a signficant rise since 1970].
I question allegiance of someone in Congress when they hold dual.
The US government does not keep any records of anyone in Congress who may have dual citizenship, Anything that is discussed about this is speculation. Interestingly, there appears to be only ONE country that normally comes up in this conversation.
According to Nexus NewsFeed.com: "89% of our senators and congress hold dual citizenship with Israel." Unknown if numbers are currently accurate.
Unable to find those holding other citizenships, but they certainly exist.
And as most of the internet is talking about US politicians holding citizenship with Israel, becoming a citizen, even if you are Jewish, is not a simple process. https://immigrantinvest.com/blog/israel-citizenship/
LOL….My browser won’t let me into ‘Newsfeed’ advising that its certification isn’t current. In any event, there was a bill in Congress to initiate publicity of any Congress people with dual citizenship which apparently died in Congress. There is NO official indication of any politicians with dual citizenship. And just the fact that your ‘source’ indicates ‘89%’ is somewhat laughable. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr7484
I have always felt that we have no business in foreign wars. We as Americans cannot possibly understand what it is like in that country growing up and all the cultural implications etc that go into the discourse these countries have with each other. I agree we really need to stick with America First! And let other countries work out their own issues. Unless a specific situation calls for our assistance and then all options much be weighed.
John, again you face the 3rd rail of US policy, and do not mention why that is so: any open rational and correct, and necessary criticism of Israel, Zionism, the deliberate slaughter of Palestinians and destruction of THEIR HOMELAND since 1948, will ignite the jewish monied class and they will destroy you politically, the same ol Holocaust Blackmail [ before your time, Senator Percy is a good example] . Trump knows this (esp from NY) and thus his horrific support of Israel who continues their policy of Greater Israel with the fraud of "destroying HAMAS"
And to this day, even you walk this issue on tiptoes. That is the undoing of US of A.
You may recall that Sen Percy’s beautiful young daughter was very mysteriously murdered in the Senators home. No suspects. Crime was never solved…
He was never the same after that.
