The immediate precursor to today’s pro-Israel lobby began in 1939[i]under the leadership of Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, originally from Lithuania. He created the American Zionist Emergency Council (AZEC), which by 1943 had acquired a budget of half a million dollars at a time when a nickel bought a loaf of bread.[ii]
In addition to this money, Zionists [adherents of “political Zionism,” a movement to create a Jewish state in Palestine] had become influential in creating a fundraising umbrella organization, the United Jewish Appeal, in 1939[iii], giving them access to the organization’s gargantuan financial resources: $14 million in 1941, $150 million by 1948. This was four times more than Americans contributed to the Red Cross and was the equivalent of approximately $1.5 billion today.[iv]Continue reading “The Origins of the Israel Lobby in the US”

Some people have all the luck. People in Connecticut, for example. The state cops say they’re coming for the guns. The matronly new chief says no, but the odious Lt. Paul Vance, the front man for the Sandy Hook lie factory, says it’s true and moreover, it’s un-American to oppose them in any way. Not only that: he said that he’s the master. What the hell did that mean?
Let’s say Chief Grandma thinks she’s not lying. If eighty percent of the people refuse to obey “the law,” what’s a gun cop to do? They know you’ve got an “illegal” rifle or magazine, they know where you live. Are they going to let it slide? Continue reading “What is their plan for us?”

If it was the intent of the West to bring Russia and China together – one a natural resource (if “somewhat” corrupt) superpower and the other a fixed capital / labor output (if “somewhat” capital misallocating and credit bubbleicious) powerhouse – in the process marginalizing the dollar and encouraging Ruble and Renminbi bilateral trade, then things are surely “going according to plan.” Continue reading “Petrodollar Alert: Putin Prepares To Announce “Holy Grail” Gas Deal With China”
