[SIZE=3]The Rise of the Neo-Cons and the Future of America[/SIZE] by Kenneth Robinson One must give credit where credit is due. The chutzpah of the architects of Iraq War II has been breathtaking. The Ministry of Truth cooked up some super-sized whoppers to whip up support for the latest episode of the perpetual war on terrorism, the new Hitler, and the axis of evil. Not surprisingly, they trotted out Colin Powell to do the hard sell for the war. Powell has the appearance of gravitas and his undeserved reputation for independence and integrity imbued the lies with a tad more credibility. But in the end it really didn't matter. The corporate controlled media was firmly on board and the electoral mob has no ability or interest in separating the complex truth from the omnipresent simple lies. Of course, there were two putative justifications for the war. Firstly, the new Hitler (Saddam) was in league with the leaders of the shadowy web of Islamic terrorism. That there was not a shred of credible evidence to support this assertion was of scant interest to the controlled media and the yahoo patriots. Secondly, that madman Saddam controlled weapons of mass destruction was, of course, the more urgent justification for immediate war. The unsuccessful efforts of the international inspectors to find these WMD was sneered and jeered at by the friends of the Zionists' war. Once the war commenced, we were treated to repeated breathless announcements of the discovery of WMD. Each of these discoveries turned out to be yet more agit-prop from the Ministry of Truth. The moron majority has been too busy cheering the glorious whupping we gave Saddam to notice the conspicuous absence of the weapons of mass destruction that were the justification for the war. Not to worry, the requisite evidence will doubtless soon be "discovered" to provide the administration the necessary fig leaf to cover the nakedness of the "liberation" of Iraq by the "coalition." Iraq War II has had some interesting consequences. For the first time the voices pointing out Zionist control of U.S. foreign policy have gotten some general notice. To be sure, except for the "extremists," those voices have been rather hesitant and muted in pointing out the Jewish connection. But no matter how delicate the dissidents' remarks have been, the Israel First gang has treated them as another holocaust against the Chosen Ones. Even a seasoned political operative like Congressman James P. Moran, Jr. (D-VA) was blind-sided by the furious reaction to his mild reference to Jewish support for the war. Certainly, the Europeans are well ahead of us on the learning curve concerning Israel. The Europeans' lack of enthusiasm for the Zionists' newest favorite war has not gone unnoticed. Hence, we've been treated to such sophisticated rhetoric as "cheese eating surrender monkeys" emanating from the neo-cons' lapdogs in the safe "alternative" media. Here in the U.S., critics of the war have had their patriotism and their manhood questioned by the chickenhawk patriots. The fact that much of the more visible and outre opposition to the war has emanated from the usual suspects on the left has been a boon to the Bush conservatives and their insane ranting has filled the airwaves of talk radio. The star of the neo-con hawks has risen to the point that they control their own television propaganda vehicle --- Fox News. Yet, beneath the arrogance and swagger is the fear that haunts all bullies, the realization that they are hollow and that their power is without depth or substance. When the Zionist nature of the war has been pointed out, the first response, of course, has been to howl about "anti-Semitism." This has been followed with a more subtle and interesting defense that states that Jewish opinion is not unified and that the anti-war movement has Jewish members. This argument is true, strictly speaking. Yet, the argument ingeniously deflects the true toxic nature of Jewish political and cultural power. As scholars such as Kevin MacDonald have pointed out, the Jews' collective strategy has been to divide and weaken the host culture in which it exists. If you examine any of the divisive and destructive "progressive" movements, you will find that it has been promulgated and furthered by Jews. For example, even cursory research will reveal the depth and breadth of Jewish involvement in the open immigration movement, which is one of the most dangerous movements that has ever afflicted Western civilization. The small silver lining ini the cloud is that life is full of unintended consequences. Open immigration has resulted in a large influx of unassimilable and hostile Muslims into Europe. Yet it is these very same Muslims that are behind the increasing agitation against the Jews residing in Europe. The Europeans are required to be culturally sensitive to their Muslim inhabitants and to thus give serious attention to their "anti-Semitic" point of view. A delicious irony is this. Yet the irony does not stop there. The toxic alienation that is the stock and trade of the Jewish dominated entertainment industry and academia has infected the Jews themselves. While many Israelis are perfectly willing to fight the hated Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, etc., to the last gullible goyim, they are increasingly none too eager to do the job themselves. The demographic death dance that is being acted out in the Western world is also afflicting Israel. The Israelis are hell bent to get the U.S. to neutralize as many of their hostile neighbors as possible because of the desperate realization of the demographic situation that faces Israel. An Iraq unified under a ruthless strongman like Saddam was a minor but tangible threat to Israel (but not the United States). A prostrate Iraq comprised of mutually antagonistic ethnic and religious groups under U.S. occupation or international supervision could never be a threat to Israel. Of course the "democracy" that will be imposed on Iraq to complete its "liberation" will be the sort of managed democracy that will never allow Islamic militants to gain real power. The new oligarches are masters at creating the illusion of liberty through mass democracy. You can bet that Iraq will soon have MTV, as the elites gather a tidy profit while destroying yet another culture. The true nature of the war can be discerned from the sidebar stories in the media, if not from the main headlines. For instance, Israel's prime minister, Ariel Sharon, Bush's favorite "man of peace," has graciously offered to reactivate the Mosul-Haifa oil pipeline that was completed in the early 1930s by British oil interests. The pipeline was closed down in 1949 with the advent of the Jewish state of Israel. Needless to say, Turkey, our ally and NATO partner, is not pleased with the prospect of competition to its oil pipeline to the Mediterranean. But if it comes to a showdown between Turkish and Israeli, I'm sure the Turks know which way the wind will blow. Indeed, Iraq War II is resulting in a substantial regional realignment. The U.S. military presence is shifting from Saudi Arabia to the more manageable state of Qatar. But this is only the beginning. Republican bigwigs have noted that it may take at least five years to establish a new independent government in Iraq. The U.S. military is tentatively planning the long-term presence of four military bases in liberated Iraq. Those celebrating the great victory have already forgotten the administration's promises that Washington was going to liberate Iraq, not occupy it. So far, the Bush administration has successfully deflected attention from the sweetheart deals Bush's capitalist cronies have gotten for their part in the destruction and the future rebuilding of Iraq. The controlled media is largely ignoring the profiteering that the Bush gang has engaged in. To date, Richard Perle is the only administration official to be sanctioned in even the smallest degree for his underhanded dealings. But one wonders how long the Democrats will hold their fire over this issue. If Bush's reputation remains pure, the Democrats will face bleak election prospects and they will have a greater motivation to speak out on this looting of both the Iraqis and the U.S. taxpayers. It is not only in foreign policy that we can see an emerging realignment. In the realm of domestic politics there has been a long-term shift underway. The Jewish neo-cons have been diligently taking control of the conservative movement by their domination of think tanks, policy institutes and publications. It is now impossible for a budding conservative intellectual or journalist to make a secure career without kowtowing to the Jews. The neo-cons now truly have the power to reward their friends and hurt their enemies. They are by no means reluctant to exercise their power. This battle has largely been confined to the rarified realm of activists until now. But Bush's delivery of the war that Zionists have been demanding may be rewarded. In a news story in the May 7, 2003 Boston Globe, Anne E. Kornblut chirped about the likely shift of young Jewish voters to the GOP. This is merely a public acknowledgement of the real shift. Jews comprise only about three percent of the U.S. population, but they are a politically active group in a time when more Americans are opting out of the electoral farce. So Jews in fact have a disproportionate voting impact. But their small numbers and their concentration in the urban Northeast renders the Jewish vote relatively insignificant in national elections. What really matters is Jewish money and Jewish media control. Jews have long utterly dominated the Democrat Party in terms of money and a core of activist zealots. But Jewish support and domination of the permanent Cultural Revolution has tended to marginalize the Democrat Party among many white, middle class voters. To advance their agenda, the Jews recognized they would need to influence and ultimately control the Republicans. That has been the purpose of the slow, steady advance of the neo-con movement in the Republican Party. An important subtext has been the growing influence of the Christian Zionist movement amongst evangelical Protestants. It was an event of immense importance for the Jews to get a malleable fool like Bush installed as President. He is doubly "blessed" in that he adheres to some form of apocalyptic Christian Zionism and he is wont to receive direction from a cabal of Jewish Zionist handlers. With Jewish domination of both political parties, control over the mainstream media and the unabated slow motion demographic suicide via Third World immigration, it would seem that their master plan for the United States is unstoppable. But however grim the situation is, it would be premature for the Jews to celebrate their ultimate victory. The fact is that Israel is a "dead man walkinig" when one considers that its demographic future is even more untenable than that of the West. Further, the Jews have clearly worn out their welcome in Europe. There the establishment politicians will still make soothing noises about the horrors of "anti-Semitism," but those noises are sounding increasingly half-hearted and tentative. Even in the Jews' real power center, the United States, their position is beginning to look insecure to the astute observer. Despite all the manufactured patriotic fervor and all the polls indicating support for the war, support for the Iraq war was dependent on a quick and painless victory. So far, the media has been supplying puff piece "news and analysis," so the electoral mob continues to accept the manufactured consensus, since it costs so little to do so. Still, since 9/11, I have heard more "respectable" type people question our relationship with Israel and I'm beginning to hear more and more people say things that sound downright "anti-Semitic." Thanks to the New World Order, the world truly is becoming interconnected. Thanks to our arrogance and our thuggish use of our power in the interests of Israel and the global money manipulators, the United States is now the most hated and feared power in the world. Instead of this reality giving our leaders pause to reflect, it has merely heightened their sense of righteousness and their contempt for the rest of the world. Establishment ideology is based on a dogma that our power mystically emanates from our communion with "freedom and democracy." Thus we have grandiose rhetoric from the madman Bush and his inner circle who are the high priests of American Manifest Destiny. In reality the power of the United States rests on two cornerstones --- military power and economic power. In his groundbreaking book, "The Rise and Decline of the State," Israeli writer Martin Van Creveld convincingly argues that in the present era military power is largely a chimera. The other cornerstone of U.S. might is economic power. Yet, the apparent prosperity of the United States has become a conjurer's trick based on debt and monetary legerdemain rather than actual productivity. For more than half a century the U.S. dollar has been the world's transactional and reserve currency of choice. The world has been willing and eager to send us resources and goods in return for bits and bytes representing Federal Reserve Notes. The trade deficit is enormous. Our insatiable appetite has only been met by recourse to private and public debt whose magnitude can scarcely be imagined. The dollar is losing the hypnotic appeal that once ensnared the world. The derided euro has been rising mightily against the dollar. To be sure, this is an indicator of the weakness of the dollar rather than a vote of confidence for the euro. Once the world really loses confidence in the magic of the dollar, Washington's power will disappear along with our prosperity. Gold, that barbaric relic, may yet again come into its own. It was not so many years ago that the Soviet Empire collapsed. The United States was then widely respected and admired. Now, it seems that most people in the world distrust and fear us. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. The insanity of the neo-cons is such that the world's fear and loathing of us is seen as an indicator of our virtues. We truly will be mad if we allow them to lead us to our destruction.
