When I was a kid, hijacking airplanes was popular. I was too unsophisticated to understand just who was doing the hijacking, but I knew they were bad guys, and they always demanded to be taken to Cuba. The Cuban hijackers disappeared somewhere around the time the neocons took power for good in the Reagan administration.
In the 1980s, I communicated regularly with several far right-wingers, and one of their primary concerns was “terrorism.” And survivalism (still popular). They no longer feared airplanes being hijacked to Cuba. There were now bigger fish to fry. Yasser Arafat and his Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) became the face of this new threat, which our vaunted intelligence agencies warned us about. They were always predicting some kind of ramped up attack in this country, none of which ever happened. There were isolated incidents around the world, and either the PLO or some lesser known offspring would inevitably claim “credit” for it. I’m not sure what claiming “credit,” in other words, admitting criminal guilt, did in terms of advancing their cause, but then I’ve never been a terrorist.
One of the most notable of all alleged terrorist incidents was the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988. On a trivial but interesting side note, one of the victims was the son of David White, the actor who played Larry Tate, Darren’s boss on the television series Bewitched. Maybe he was into the JFK assassination. At any rate, the Department of Justice finally tracked down someone with “Mohammad” in their name, and the charges against him were unsealed in court in December, 2022. If that seems like an inordinate length of time to capture one of the world’s most prolific terrorist killers, you’re unfamiliar with our wonderful system of justice. It’s a wheel’s grind slowly thing, you wouldn’t understand.
In the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, the FBI utilized the kind of informants they always do at these events. The fake terrorist had more principles than our wonderful G-Men, and tried to stop it. I told the whole story in Hidden History. It wasn’t pretty, but it was typical. And after setting the whole thing up, using guys named Mohammad that worked for them, not any terrorist outfit, our government lied as usual, and lectured us about how this event made fighting terrorism more crucial than ever. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Keep your eyes open for “sleeper cells.”
We all know what happened at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Well, actually most Americans don’t, since they believe the fantastic fairy tale spun by our unchecked intelligence agencies. While Yasser Arafat had only been 5’2, for this grand assignment, the lead bogeyman was the world’s tallest Arab, former CIA asset Osama Bin Laden. Maybe it was his great height, but Bin Laden proved much more successful than the world’s shortest terrorist had been. And to think he did it all from his secret lair in an undisclosed cave, arming his lackeys with deadly box cutters and plastic knives. He also chose pilots that couldn’t fly. In a nostalgic tip of the hat, he brought back the hijacking thing, although he left out Cuba.
I don’t know what happened to the original PLO. Did they disband? At any rate, over the years, we were told that one bloodthirsty group after another was the latest and greatest in the terrorist world. Al Qaeda, which Alex Jones, in his better days, wittily dubbed Al CIAda. Isis. Isil. The Taliban. The Muslim Brotherhood. Hezbolah. Hamas. There was even the Symbionese Liberation Army, which was active for only a few years, but left its mark by kidnapping heiress Patty Hearst, and then seemingly enlisted her in their cause. I’m not certain what their name meant, but the FBI assured us that they were first “terrorist” organization to emerge from the counterculture Left. To explain Hearst’s cooperation, the term “Stockholm Syndrome” was introduced at her trial. Now millions have “Stockholm Syndrome.” Who knew?
It’s a funny thing about terrorists; although they are now invariably portrayed as enemies of Israel, they have rarely targeted Israel itself. But that changed last week. Hamas, now evidently taking over front-runner status in the world of competitive terrorism, unleashed a deadly assault on a music festival in Israel, killing many civilians. Their planning was decidedly unconventional. They flew in, very slowly of course, on hand gliders. It was almost as if Bin Laden was there, plotting it out like he did the whole box cutter-plastic knife thing. If it seems like terrorists using a Flintstones-like method of transportation should have been extremely easy for the IDF to detect and repel before they did any damage, you’re probably an anti-Semite.
The fact that we were told the music festival location had been changed at the last minute, to a much less secure spot, only added to the skepticism. Of normal citizens, in Israel and elsewhere around the world, that is. All government officials and professional “journalists” found it as credible as magic bullets, magic fertilizer bombs, unscathed hijacker passports and all the other fanciful tidbits they are forced to report with straight faces. From the available film footage, it didn’t really look like the worst modern terrorist attack on civilians ever. I didn’t see any crowds being fired on. Just a lot of Arabs jumping and chanting, and isolated, bloody corpses. Maybe I wouldn’t know what the world’s worst terrorist attack should look like. It bears repeating that I am a mere community college dropout.
While much of Israel seems skeptical of the official story, and at the very least thinks that the IDF stood down, in America, the Zionists are foaming at the mouth. Ben Shapiro looks like he’s ready for a padded room. At last report, I think he was pretty much demanding nuclear war. I asked him on Twitter (of course he never replied) about who he would support, in the unlikely event of a war between America and Israel. I also asked him if he had dual citizenship. Lots of prominent American public figures do. Like that Republican congressman who proudly wore his IDF military uniform to Congress the other day. I’m wondering what the reaction would be if say, Rashida Talib wore a Palestinian military uniform into work one day. Does Palestine even have uniforms?
Few Americans probably know this, but an extraordinary number of our elected “representatives” hold dual Israeli citizenship. Before Diane Feinstein’s recent death, there were thirteen U.S. Senators who also are Israeli citizens. This includes Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer. Past dual Senators include former Saturday Night Live writer Al Franken. In the House, there are nearly thirty dual citizens. Among them are the infamous “Russia! Russia! Russia!” proponent Adam Schiff, and corrupt former DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who helped to rig the primaries against her fellow dual-citizen Bernie Sanders. If that seems like a lot of Israelis in our Congress, again, you’re probably an anti-Semite. I’m wondering why there are no dual Russian-American citizens in Congress, extolling the virtues of Vladimir Putin.
They tell us that it’s against the law for government officials to hold dual citizenship. I guess it’s never enforced. In 2014, the great Barack Obama appointed Stanley Fischer as Vice-Chair of the Federal Reserve. Fischer was photographed flashing his Israeli identity card with a huge smile on his face. But he wasn’t really a government official, seeing as how the “Federal” in Federal Reserve is as dishonest and phony as everything else they sell us. The Chairman of the Fed has been Jewish since at least 1987, and it’s a good bet they were all dual citizens as well. Former Reagan appointee Dov Zakheim, who was second in command at the Defense Department on 9/11, was yet another dual citizen. And oh yeah, he also happens to be a rabbi.
The list of dual citizens is too long to list here. There was Richard Perle, who was caught red-handed giving the Israeli Embassy classified documents, while he served on the staff of neocon Senator Henry Jackson. Nothing happened to him of course, and he went on to become a foreign policy adviser to Bush the Elder, and then chairman of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board. Paul Wolfowitz. Edward Luttwak. Kenneth Adelman. Elliott Abrams. Even Henry Kissinger, the world’s first 100 year old obese man. Looking at just a partial list, it’s easy to see why it would be impossible for our government to ever criticize Israel.
Dual Israeli citizens are prominent in private industry as well. The guy who developed The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was an Israeli who eventually sold out to Hasbro for a tidy $522 million. Jordache Jeans was founded by an Israeli. Larry Ellison, founder of the Oracle Corporation, has donated huge sums of money to various causes in Israel, including the IDF. Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York and perhaps the most ridiculous presidential candidate in recent memory. Sheldon Adelson, Las Vegas casino magnate, has given hundreds of millions to Israel, is a BFF of Benjamin Netanyahu, and was Donald Trump’s most notable dual citizen financial backer. Michael Dell, founder of Dell computers, gives millions to the IDF.
Leslie Wexner, who became a billionaire through the Limited and Victoria’s Secret, established a foundation that runs Israeli programs and fellowships with the goal of “strengthening Israel’s public leadership” and connecting policy makers in Israel and America. Under its auspices, Israeli public officials receive all-expenses-paid master’s degrees from Harvard University. New England Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft has invested large portions of his fortune into Israel, including building Jerusalem’s Kraft Family Stadium. Isaac Perlmutter of Marvel Entertainment. Daniel Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and founder of Quicken Loans, is a big financial supporter of Friends of the IDF, declaring, “We should feel fortunate that the brave people from the IDF are out there defending Jews, because Jews, as we all know, were not defended for centuries and centuries.”
Media mogul Haim Saban brags, “I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel.” Bernard Marcus of Home Depot sits on the board of directors of the Republican Jewish Coalition and co-founded the Israel Democracy Institute, a think tank based in Jerusalem. S. Daniel Abraham, founder of weight-loss company Slim Fast, is inexorably tied to Israel. He funded the Dan Abraham School for Business Administration and Economics at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, the S. Daniel Abraham Israel Program at Yeshiva University, and the S. Daniel Abraham Honors Program at Stern College for Women. I could go on. But you get the point.
I don’t think CNN’s beloved Wolf Blitzer is even a dual citizen. He is a citizen of Israel, however, Shouldn’t American television network anchor positions be reserved for American citizens? Yes, I know Peter Jennings was a Canadian, and just as bad as our own, native-born talking heads. Or Israeli-born Blitzer for that matter. But we’ve never fought a war on Canada’s behalf, to my knowledge. How many have we fought on Israel’s behalf? How many troops have we committed to fight Israel’s endless battles, earning us Israeli’s enemies? And yet here we stand again, with every dual citizen using their powerful pulpits to urge us to “do something.”
And despite all this Zionist power in America, the beloved Joe Biden assures us that it is “White Supremacists” who present the greatest “threat” to our “democracy.” I don’t think there is a “White Supremacist” anywhere in America today who has risen above the level of assistant manager at a fast food establishment. But you could certainly make a strong case for “Israeli Supremacists” holding inordinate power. And they are certainly a threat to Americans who don’t hold dual citizenship in Israel, in terms of being hired for those important, well-paying jobs. I wonder why Donald Trump didn’t mention this, what with all that “America First” stuff?
And what about Iran? The “state sponsor” of terrorism, whatever that means. I think it means about as much as the taglines “cult leader” David Koresh or “Panamanian strongman” Manuel Noriega once did. It’s a convenient descriptive term, for the narrative scriptwriters. It just seems like dual Israeli citizens in high U.S. positions might be more concerning to the average American, than a Third World nation that has never invaded another sovereign country in modern times, unless you count its war with Iraq, in which we supported our then CIA asset Saddam Hussein. The whole Iran hostage thing was tied in with yet another American intelligence project- October Surprise. All in all, the Iranians seem a lot less threatening than our own military. We are still occupying several countries.
I hear average people, the kind of Americans who are notorious for “not knowing shit,” to paraphrase Chris Rock, pontificating about Hamas, Hezbolah, and the like. “We’re in trouble if Hezbolah gets involved,” they’ll say. What exactly is the difference between Hezbolah and Hamas? Between Al Qaeda and Isis? Are they affiliated with each other, or working at cross purposes? I would like some neocon “expert” to delineate the distinctions, in language the layman can understand. Dumb it down to the level of an America 2.0 layman. To me, they just seem like the old Indians from central casting. Jumping up and down, yelling out gibberish. Trying to look suitably terroristic. The bane of every dual citizen’s existence.
Alex Jones once claimed that Saudi Arabia “runs Hollywood.” Yeah, he actually said that. He’s also said that China does, too, which has some truth to it. Paddy Chayefsky, an acclaimed playwright and screenwriter, pictured growing Arab power- not the self-evident long time disproportionate Jewish power- taking over the media in the compelling 1976 film Network, which happens to be one of my good friend John Barbour’s favorites. Are Americans ever going to be “mad as hell” at all the dual loyalists who determine the fate of our supposedly sovereign nation? Or will they continue to rage against Hamas and other groups, who probably consist largely of American and Mossad assets, instead? I wish the answer wasn’t so obvious.
Zionists, including many who are dual citizens of Israel, are deeply woven into the top tiers of leadership in this crumbling country. So when you saw so many of them angrily calling for “retaliation,” and actions that could precipitate a new world war, it’s understandable given the context. We need not go back to loyalty oaths. But those who hold powerful positions in America should logically be American. It’s one thing to have Mexican citizens cutting your grass for a few pesos. It’s quite another for a “representative” loyal to another nation to be elected to public office. Our “special relationship” with a ministate we created by stealing the land of others, has garnered billions for a chosen few. But it’s brought nothing good to the American people.
When was a at the rank of Commander working in Navy Region Europe in London I was told that I would have to give up my Irish citizenship or lose my secret clearance (I had been a dual citizen for 20 years by that time -2003) So I cancelled my Irish passport and handed it in to the Navy admin - then one month later I went to the Irish embassy and got a new one. The Irish embassy told me that once you are a citizen you are always a citizen- they cared more about me than the US even after serving 22 years in the Navy - so how in the hell can these Senators and Congressmen have Israeli citizenship?
If the Palestinians want revenge blow up the UN. No American citizen had a say in the partition vote in 48 at Flushing NY. Now it has come back to bite us in the ass. These wars were none of my business but I fear they will be now. I recall the old saying “you may not be interested in war but war is interested in you”. Keep your head on a swivel and prepare accordingly
