Biden and Israel
Is Biden's protection of Israel due to familial and/or inner circle ties?
There is something very strange about Joe Biden. The man is an Irish Catholic who made a political career out of being a center-right opportunist. Every pre-2020 book1 and article on Biden revealed him to be a servant of power who abused his underlings and maximized his position as a US Senator for personal gains in DC. Early in his career, when he needed the racist white vote he denigrated blacks and racial integration. Biden was such a reliable donkey for the banks, that his nickname in the Senate was the Senator from MBNA. So, it isn’t inconsistent that he has always been a fervent ally of Israel or its fascistic American backers, like AIPAC, because that’s where the money is.
The question of loyality… but to whom?
With the exception of George H.W. Bush and his Secretary of State James Baker, every American president in the last 36-years has been an ardent supporter of Israel and its Zionist project. Historically, it was a cold war feature that enabled a country run by Eastern Europen Jewry (Ashkenazis) to police Arab nationalism and solidarity. To a lesser degree Persian (Iranian) and Turkish influence was also limited by allowing Israel regional Middle East military hegemony. Thomas Friedman, writing for the NY Times, once said that Israel was the Iron Fist2, used to control the Arab populations.
''There is no domestic opposition to the Iron Fist policy and no atmosphere of public condemnation or apology,'' said Zeev Chafets, former head of Israel's Government Press Office. ''Therefore, no one is really worried about the outside world reaction.''
The Middle East has oil and the world’s largest consumer of oil is the US military. While the majority of Middle Eastern oil goes to Asia. It is necessary, as a global hegemon, to control the distribution of that resource. The folks in DC didn’t win WW2 so Arabs and Persians could dictate to America how the world should work. At least that was the objective until Israel turned the tables on their corrupt asses.
The problem with this arrangement is that it has long ceased to be useful to American interests. All the major Persian (Arabian) Gulf Monarchs are American client states. That includes Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, the UAE, Egypt, and Jordan. Iran, which obviously is not a US ally, is not a meaningful threat to America with its limited military and sclerotic economy run by the incompetent Mullahs. Saudi Arabia now plays footsie with China and its involvement in 9/11 makes the relationship toxic. Kuwait used to be called the 52nd US state (the 51st is Israel), given the amount of military resources placed there over the last 30-years of the Forever Wars. The US military’s Central Command (Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT)) is located in Qatar. The US Navy’s 5th fleet is anchored at Bahrain. So, what does America get from this arrangement today?
USS Liberty Incident
The Israeli relationship is actually much worst than the American media -who are little more than parrots for the plutocracy- disclose. In June 1967, during the Israeli Six Days War, Israel bombed the USS Liberty, a US surveillance ship operating in the Mediterranean Sea.
The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian NSA employee), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nautical miles (47.2 km; 29.3 mi) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.
Whatever the rationals for the dual air and sea attack by Israel’s military, it is clear that the Israeli government was directly responsible for the murder of 34 Americans; an act of war in any other context. Does this sound like the acts of an ally?
Theft of Military Secrets
Israel claims to be a “start-up” nation3 that has invented technologies and created numerous businesses to sell all that creative entrepreneurial energy. Yeah, that’s bullshit too. They lie about everything. Take for example the Pegasus software, which was designed by an Israeli firm to surveil targets through one’s cell phone.
Pegasus is the hacking software – or spyware – that is developed, marketed and licensed to governments around the world by the Israeli company NSO Group. It has the capability to infect billions of phones running either iOS or Android operating systems.
Al Jazerra news describes the real target of their start-up nation technology are foreign politicians, journalists, and political dissidents.
An investigation by 17 news organisations into more than 50,000 numbers was published by the Paris-based journalism nonprofit Forbidden Stories and Amnesty International. It found that more than 1,000 individuals across 50 countries were allegedly selected by NSO clients for potential surveillance since 2016.
The US government understanding the risk posed by these rogue operators did the following:
Last November, the US Commerce Department blacklisted NSO Group, barring it from access to US technology after saying its tools have been used to “conduct transnational repression”.
Aside from being a wholesale distributor of technology for the undermining of democracy, they steal others’ technology, adapt it, then sell it to whatever rogue nation or criminal enterprise that will buy it. This has been going on for decades. When the Iranian student revolution in 1979 seized the American embassy in Tehran, troves of documents were discovered indicating that, “American high-tech firms were a priority target for Israeli spy agencies.”4
The consistent theft of US military secrets is an ongoing issue. For example in the 1980s:
A Chicago manufacturer of sophisticated aerial reconnaissance cameras has accused the Israeli government of trying to steal the firm's technical secrets and pass them to a competing Israeli company…
The disputed contract was being financed by the U.S. government as part of its $3 billion-a-year program of aid to Israel.
There have been three investigations involving Israel in the past 15 months of alleged violations of U.S. technology export laws. They include a case last month involving the alleged illegal export of cluster bomb technology, a case involving technology for the chrome plating of tank gun barrels, and a case that led to the indictment of a California businessman on charges that he illegally exported to Israel electronic triggering devices called krytrons, which can be used in nuclear explosions.
In the 1990s they sold weapons technology to the Chinese:
ISRAEL has sold at least $2bn (£1.3bn) to $3bn of hi-tech military equipment to China, seriously undermining US efforts to limit the sale of advanced weapons to the Chinese. A Senate report due out later this week says the Israeli exports include military technology developed by the US, and which Washington expressly forbids from being exported to China.
In the early 21st C., Israel continued its baldface theft of US technology and sale to China:
The head of defense exports for the Israeli Defense Ministry resigned after a U.S. investigation concluded that technology, including a miniature refrigeration system manufactured by Ricor and used for missiles and in electro-optic equipment, was sent to China, according to the Israeli newspaper Maariv…
In the early 1990s then-CIA Director James Woolsey told a Senate Government Affairs Committee that Israel had been selling U.S. secrets to China for about a decade. More than 12 years ago the U.S. demanded Israel cancel a contract to supply China with Python III missiles, which included technology developed by the U.S. for its Sidewinder missiles, The Associated Press reported in 2002.
Do you see a pattern?
Not only do they steal technology, but because of their connections with China, they knowingly expose America to additional risks:
China has targeted Israel’s two largest arms exporters, Israel Aerospace Industries and the arms manufacturer Rafael, along with the company Elbit Systems. The first two are state-owned corporations, and all three have subsidiaries in the United States that help manufacture Israel’s most advanced weapons, including missiles and avionics. These designs and trade secrets are coveted by intelligence agencies and governments throughout the world…
The Israeli firms are collaborating with their U.S. counterparts such as Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin in the joint projects, which include F-16 and F-35 warplanes and the Arrow anti-ballistic missile defense systems. Clearly, China perceives Israel as a back door through which it can access and penetrate secret U.S. programs.
Jonathan Pollard: Israeli Spy and US Traitor
All the above cases are egregious, but the Jonathan Pollard case was a profound betrayal of America and an indictment of Israel, an ostensible ally of the United States, and the extent that it would go to obtain top secret US information.
The “Pollard Affair,” as it came to be known, was one of the most significant upheavals in the history of American-Israeli government relations. An American Jewish U.S. intelligence officer with a single-minded ambition to save Israel, Jonathan Pollard was convicted in 1985 of selling closely guarded U.S. secrets and highly classified intelligence material to the Jewish state. Pollard spent almost 30 years behind bars before he was released to Israel in 2015…
Pollard managed to infiltrate Heritage Foundation and AIPAC events where he made it his business to meet the various movers and shakers who could advance his career. Along the way he encountered Aviem Sella, a former commander in the Israeli air force who recruited Pollard as a spy. Pollard maintained he had access to top secret documents that could affect Israel’s security.
Instead of showing a minutia of guilt or remorse for their clandestine actions, Israel celebrated the release of this US traitor.
“We are ecstatic to be home at last after 35 years,” Mr. Pollard, 66, said. “And we thank the people and the prime minister of Israel for bringing us home. No one could be prouder of his country or of this leader than we are. And we hope to become productive citizens as soon and as quickly as possible and to get on with our lives here.”
Jeffrey Epstein: Israel’s Blackmailer
Jeffrey Epstein was a man of little academic or professional accomplishments that somehow became a multi-millionaire that knew the academic, governmental, celebrity, and business glitterati of America. His friends included former Harvard president and Clinton/Obama administration alumnus Larry Summers, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates. He and his associates trafficked under-aged girls, who serviced men for sex.
Israel used Jeffrey Epstein to ensnare a wide swath of influential Americans and Europeans. Those people served as useful tools to gain access, confidence, or the service of others in position of wealth and power. Many like UK’s Prince Andrew were compromised. Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in prison (or not), was described as follows:
“It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Epstein had connections to the [Israeli intelligence community],” says Julie K. Brown, whose book “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story” was released on July 20.
Ghislaine Maxwell, his accomplice in prostituting young women/girls, is the daughter of prominent British media proprietor and politician Robert Maxwell. He was a known Israeli spy and bagman. When he died:
Maxwell is buried on Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives. Many members of the Israeli intelligence community attended his funeral. So too did Yitzhak Shamir, Israel’s then-prime minister. Shamir eulogized the British tycoon for the political connections he brought to Israel during the 1980s, and for the money he invested in it.
Altogether this is a rogues’ gallery of traitors, perverts, thieves, and fascists all working for or in allegiance to the state of Israel. Decade-after-decade Israel has been undermining the USA. They openly buy American politicians and boast about their prized trophy winnings. All the while, they are drenching themselves in billions of dollars of “aid” paid for by Americans taxpayers, who are denied healthcare, affordable education, housing, or an effective cost of living, but afforded to Israel’s religious miscreants living illegally in occupied Palestinian territories.
Why would anyone in America want to affiliate themselves with these scum? Well let us talk about Joe Biden!
-
Biden, the first Jewish President
Biden constantly refers to himself as a Zionist. He constantly praises Israel. Does his family’s internal relationships influence that opinion? All three of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s children were or are married to Jewish persons.
All three of his children married Jewish spouses. And the baby grandson that he cradled in his arms after his victory speech last week is halachically Jewish, as are the children of his late son Beau.
His oldest son Beau, who died in 2015 from brain cancer, was married to Hallie Olivere. Biden’s second son, Hunter, a perennial loser, started banging her after Beau’s death. Gilbert Gottfried’s aristocrats definition applies here. Hunter then decided to venture elsewhere and shack up with:
Jewish South African film maker Melissa Cohen, and within 10 days the couple were married in a ceremony in her Los Angeles flat. Hunter marked the occasion by getting a tattoo to match Cohen’s - the word 'shalom' in Hebrew letters.
In addition:
Joe and Jill Biden’s daughter Ashley also has a Jewish spouse - Howard Krein, an ENT specialist at a Philadelphia hospital. They married in 2012, in a Catholic-Jewish ceremony followed by a reception during which the then Vice-President danced the hora. “I’m the only Irish Catholic you know who had his dream met because his daughter married a Jewish surgeon,” he said in 2016.
I think that is very unusual, but there is no underlying conspiracy here. Simply, the Bidens, for whatever reasons, have linked themselves to the Jewish community. To what extent that relationship biases Biden’s own thinking on Israel is an open question.
The Cabinet
The real problem is who is running America under Joe Biden? Jews represent 2.4% of America’s population. They are a very successful ethnicity and dominate academia, finance, business, and the professional classes. So, it is not unusual to have several Jewish persons in a presidential cabinet. What is unusual is that in Biden’s cabinet four of the top five cabinet positions (Secretary of State, Treasury, AG, and HHS) are filled with Jews. Both of his Chief of Staffs5 have been Jewish. His Director of Intelligence (DNI), deputy director of the CIA, and Chairman of Economic Advisors are also Jewish. His Vice-President, Kamala Harris, is married to Doug Emhoff a Jew and lawyer.
The ethnic bias here is astronomical. Has there ever been a case where a minority group has held so much power in American history?
Given that Biden is a mentally compromised geriatric, who routinely slurs his words, persistently forgets simple details, and substitutes lies for easily confirmed facts, it is clear he is not running the country. It doesn’t take too much to infer that his close advisors, who are all Zionists, would rather Israel pursue a specific course of action, than the one currently demanded by the majority of Americans (i.e., stop killing Palestinian civilians in violation of international law).
Conclusion
We have a president that is linked to the Jewish community through family. He has described himself as a Zionist. He has received millions of dollars in donations from Zionist benefactors. With the exception of Defense, all his top cabinet members and the clandestine services are lead by Zionists and/or Jews.
America for decades has treated Israel’s transgressions with kid gloves. Both parties are beholden to Israeli bribery, religious dogma, and outright corruption. The state of Israel has, “been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.”
Again, what does America get out of this today?
Why are so many obsessed to tying themselves to the genocidal and imploding ethno-nationalist state of Israel? Why is Israel given carte blanche reign in the Middle East, when it has been shown for decades that it is an unreliable partner? Couple that with the sadistic Jewish American neocons6 that pushed America to invade Iraq in 2003, thus producing a historical disaster. It isn’t about liberty, religious freedom, or democracy. In fact, it is the exact opposite.
