Yemen, in Today's News 01.08.10

Yemen. In case no one has noticed, the United States and the world are edging ever closer to an all-out mid-east war. The slope to this disaster is becoming more and more slippery. Only major policy changes by key governments and by the Church will prevent this turning point in human history.

The United States or Israel are at war or engaged in a war-like intervention in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, and now Yemen. In addition, many mid-east governments are not partial to the US and Israel, such as Syria, Algeria, and Lebanon. and to some degree Egypt. The client states of Saudi Arabia and Jordan are quite vulnerable to influence by Arab popular pressure. 

This volatile mix is in effect waiting for the fuse to burn down. It would not take much to transform these engagements into a general war. An invasion of Iran could do it, as could any number of unpredictable events. 

What unifies the various regimes and combatants is militant opposition to Israel and thereby to the United States for its unqualified support to the Israeli foreign policy. Israel actually is surrounded by the sea on one side and all these battles in a wide semi-circle on the other. A provocation by the US or Israel could easily inflame these struggles into a generalized war.

So far, oil is not directly involved in the various mid-east confrontations. But if it were, as when the Saudis become militarily involved or feel threatened, then a most powerful dimension will be added. China, for one, would become very interested and directly engaged to protect its oil supply. Russia, with its soft underbelly bordering the mideast, is already staking out its position in case of dramatic developments.

In short, the Israelis are steering the world into a cataclysmic war that would forever change the face of the world. World Wars I and II would seem like trifles in comparison to a mid-east war involving all the world's major powers and the billions of Arabs and their governments.

Can anything stop this growing possibility? Were the United States to develop and follow a foreign policy that actually was in the national interests, this war-threat would end immediately. But, such is not going to happen. Decades of work by Zionists have transformed the American government into a colony-like status to Israel. The web of control is so complete that any attempt to break out of it, would be instantly thwarted.

The other possibility is the Church. Shouldn't the leaders of the Church and the various Catholic organizations be sounding the alarm that the Christ-haters of this world are pushing the planet into a conflagration that will set back humanity? Shouldn't these leaders explain to the faithful and the rest of the population that the policies of Israel and the United States will inevitable lead to another world war, this time of far graver consequences. Shouldn't these leaders use their influence to help stay the hands of the mad men who think nothing of starting such a war? Shouldn't these leaders call the faithful to prayer, asking almighty God to help us prevent this disaster?

The Church leaders instead act according to an accommodationist policy. The Vatican seems to be on a permanent effort to make nice to the Israelis and their rabbinic spiritual leaders. Barely a month goes by without the Pope saying something positive about the religion inspired by the Talmud or actually visiting a synagog or some shrine of holocaustianity.

This orientation will spell doom for the human race because it forfeits the Church's power as the prime human instrument to stop diabolic actions designed to destroy God's creation. Prayers that the hierarchy of Catholicism will see the light before it is too late are much needed.

Obama & Jewish Leaders, in Today's News 07.14.09

Obama and Jewish Leaders. The media failed for the most part to report on a meeting at the White House on Monday between Obama and 16 Jewish leaders. No other group (based on nationality, religion, cause or whatever) has this kind of access to the presidency, and no other group has such immunity from the media.

Obama was groomed for many years by the Pritzkers of Chicago. He has a record of loyalty to the interests of the Israeli state. He was strongly supported for President by Zionist interests. His chief of staff is the son of an Israeli terrorist leader. He is the first President to have a seder in the White House. 

This meeting then was a meeting of old friends. But as to be expected from the ever-dissatisfied Zionists, many at the meeting did not appreciate Obama's speech in Egypt that called for a stop to Israeli settlements while negotiations with the Palestinians were attempted. Obama in the speech was merely trying to sucker the Palestinians into compromising their stand by pointing to how the Israelis had allegedly given up something. 

Such diplomatic maneuvering, however, was alarming to some of the Zionist leaders because it didn't coincide with the stance of the current Netanyahu regime. It is reported that some participants made a thinly veiled threat by saying that only when the United States and Israel are in lockstep is any progress made. It was left to the imagination what might happen if the two countries are not in lockstep.

In general, the leaders felt that Obama was being too critical of longtime ally Israel and too lenient toward Palestinians and their Arab neighbors.

Obama tried to explain that it is all a maneuver, but did not make much progress.

(One error Obama makes is to assume the Israel wants a settlement of the mideast situation. Israel has never wanted this. All their words and diplomacy are simply attempts to gain time and superior position for the eventual eradication of the Palestinians.)
