Letter from Tim the family friend
Friends,
Oftentimes, I forward along information that I don't necessarily agree with. I do this for two reasons. First of all, I'm not a conservative and therefore do not fear opposing views -- instead, I welcome them. Secondly, I've tried to make this little network a forum for discussion.
I don't know what to make of the piece of information below. Obviously, it comes from someone who is not necessarily a total supporter of Israel. Might even come from an Arab. The English sounds foreign. And the term "Zionist" doesn't ring right.
I don't know if all the information in it is true. I can't imagine that a Richard Perle would have an Israeli passport.
But I do trust the fact that Paul Wolfowitz et al are Jewish. And I'm assured that the Israeli presence in America keeps a close watch on developments in the press and Congress. I'm given to understand that any newspaper excessively critical of Israel may experience negative consequences from the Israeli establishment in America. The same is true of candidates for American office.
The Israelis are smart, dedicated to the point of zealotry, organized, and quite thoroughly woven through American politics. I know that a few years ago, Israel was getting more American foreign aid annually than any other nation. Considering the ongoing superiority of their weaponry, that's probably true today. In fact, the Bush Administration is rushing shipments of precision bombs to Israel as I write this, obviously for use in Lebanon against Hezbollah. At the same time, America does not push for a cease fire.
America just seems to be more comfortable with Israel than, say, Saudi Arabia. Given the extent to which The Old Testament pervades American culture, I'm not sure we could expect anything else.
But if everything in the following is true, it moves in the direction of confirming a lingering suspicion I've had for a long time about the motives behind the leading neocon avatars, the guys who sold an Iraqi invasion bill of goods to patsies like Rumsfeld and Cheney and then went low-profile when the heat began to gather. Or, in Wolfowitz's case, were kicked upstairs so they couldn't easily be called to testify on Capitol Hill.
I've got some great friends who are American Jews, and they all seem to share in common a slight suspicion of Arabs in general and Middle Eastern Arabs in particular. And the only explanation I can find for Joe Lieberman's enthusiastic support for the Iraq war is his ethnic and religious heritage.
Is it possible that the neocon case for our invasion of Iraq was helped along down the corridors of the inner circle of Bush Administration decision-makers by Jewish sympathizers operating at the highest levels of the Pentagon?
I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I recall the concern when the Catholic JFK was running for the Presidency as to whether his loyalties would ultimately be to America or the Vatican. So it is traditionally an issue. I know that my French/German heritage tends to make me view those two nations more sympathetically than any others. But I'd like to think that American foreign policy is forged by decision-makers who operate purely in what they perceive to be America's interests.
And, given the alternative of living in Damascus or Tel Aviv, I'd probably take Tel Aviv in a heartbeat. So a certain bias toward the democracy of Israel runs through me as well. Still, I'd rather have American foreign policy try to solve the problems of the entire Middle East, not exacerbate them with an overwhelming support of Israel. And if there is a perception that the Israeli agenda has indeed permeated America's foreign policy making establishment to the extent that it got us into Iraq, well, how about a Congressional investigation?

By Way of Deception
Wealthy Zionist Larry Silverstein built World Trade Center Building 7 in 1985. The building was part of the WTC complex, owned by the New York Port Authority. WTC-7, ostensibly a US government building, housed offices of the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) Secret Service, CIA and Security & Exchange Commission (SEC). Late in the afternoon of September 11, 2001 Larry Silverstein, for all intents and purposes, had WTC-7 demolished.
Only months before, well-connected Zionist Lewis Eisenberg, Chairman of the New York Port Authority, which owned the WTC, leased the complex for 99 years to fellow Zionist Silverstein. How or why that transaction took place was never discussed. At the time, the WTC was considered, by many, as an architectural white elephant and less than desirable piece of real estate.
Meanwhile, well-connected Zionists had attained top positions of power throughout the Bush administration, and within the three branches of the US government. Many had signed a sort of Globalist Declaration of Independence. The document mirrored an earlier Israeli manifesto. The signers slowly consolidated power in America, unbeknownst to most Americans.
The PNAC -- Project for The New American Century -- was first written by Zionists in Israel as an Israeli policy paper, "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm," before becoming an important blueprint for foreign policy here. Many of the same authors contributed to both papers. On the surface both papers seem pragmatic, almost admirable, filled with diplomatic language. Yet if we understand the motives and comprehend the methods -- By Way of Deception -- we may discern a bigger picture.
Douglas Feith ascended to power at the Pentagon, as did fellow Zionists Paul Wolfowitz, Dov Zakheim and Richard Perle. Most, if not all, of these top military strategists curiously possessed dual passports: Israeli and US passports.
"He served Likud interests," said Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski of her superior, Douglas Feith, head of the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans (OSP). "I don't think those are the same as Israel's interests, but instead those of a faction within Israel. He engineered Likud (the Right wing Israeli party), outlined desired actions by the US and, in Feith's mind, I think he did it for Israel. I just don't have any countervailing information that would suggest he has ever done anything for America."
Likewise what role did Wolfowitz play? And Perle? And Zakheim? All Pentagon top officials. How does one hold a foreign passport -- Israeli -- while holding Top Secret US security clearances? Does anyone see a conflict of interests here? One could argue these men were great patriots -- but for which country? Philosophically they all shared the same goal: Strengthen Israel; weaken the tyrannical Islamic states; hasten US hegemony of scarce resources for key global players and multinationals.
And they all worked at the Pentagon. If America was ever to be attacked -- perhaps by a team of Islamic fanatics -- what better symbolic target than the Pentagon? Curiously, only a year before, the Pentagon had war-gamed just such an attack. You would have thought someone would have been prepared.
