When the Arabist U.S. State Department goes into full attack mode against Israel and thus American Jews, one must look a little deeper for motive. As Israel is being set up to be manipulated with a full-court press in the next month or two, the propaganda machine in the bowels of the State Department starts calling in its IOUs from certain publications to do a black bag job on Israel. Newspapers are the main venue and such papers as the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, LA Times are the selected vehicles.
Tuesday, October 2nd, the Chicago Tribune went way out of the way to bash Israel on an event that occurred 40 years ago on June 8, 1967 when Israel was fighting for her life against Egypt, Syria, Jordan and other attacking Muslim Arab armies who swore to annihilate the Jewish State. This incident was called the "Liberty Affair" [in which what is generally believed to be a US spy ship, the USS Liberty, was attacked and sunk by Israeli aircraft - editor].
I was puzzled for a few minutes as to why the Tribune had devoted a front page with picture, headline, above-the-fold story, plus a full two-page spread inside, to an event that occurred 40 years ago and is considered, except among anti-Semitic conspiracy buffs, a closed case.
The title of the article was "New Revelation in Attack on American Spy Ship". As I read it, there were no new "revelations" but another dredging up of all the emotional interchanges of the time, as if it happened yesterday.
The story was replete with carefully selected, provocative photos that the Trib is famous for -- selected to indict Israeli and convince the readers that what follows in loaded words must be true.
But, Why Now? Why was the Trib selected as first point media source to anger the American public and Congress against Israel?
The Motive: "The Lynch Israel Conference" aka "The Middle East Summit" set for November 15th in Annapolis, Maryland [perhaps now to be delayed due to the pressure cooker on Israel being insufficiently heated - ii].
Its location was carefully selected so those who would protest would easily be kept out-of-sight and out-of-sound to the delegates. The timing coincides with the General Assembly of World Jewry, where the machers of the Jewish world are tied up with their own machinations and speechifying. This is the American Jewish community?s biggest meeting of the year, and had been scheduled for at least a year for November 13-15th in Nashville, Tennessee.
Israel is set to be pilloried and forced to abandon more than half of Jerusalem to Arafat?s terrorists, now in the shaky hands of Arafat?s 40 year operations and bag-man, companion and financier, Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen).
During this "Lynching" Israel is also supposed to commit to surrendering all of her ancestral Biblical heartland, 100% of Judea and Samaria. This Land, given by G-d to the Jewish people in perpetuity, will shortly be converted into a launch pad par excellence -- as has been happening in Gaza since 16,000 Jewish men, women and children were evicted from their homes, farms, schools, synagogues and cemeteries two years ago. Except now the targets will be the rest of Israel?s population, 80% of which resides in the crowded coastal areas - plus the Ben Gurion International Airport.
President Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and James Baker III (former Sec. State and always advocate for Saudi Arabia and the Arab States) also want to reward Syria?s Bashar Al Assad by forcing Israel to abandon the Golan Heights. This is the same Syria which presently is acting as the doorway for Muslim terrorists (euphemistically called "insurgents") to enter Iraq to kill American soldiers and Iraqi civilians and soldiers.
They want Israel to give up Israel?s current natural invasion barriers called the Jordan Valley and the Samaria mountain ridge.
This planned slicing up of the Jewish State helps explain why the Trib may have been tasked by the State Department and White House to bash Israel at this particular time.
The Tribune attack was in synch with the planned "Lynching" group assembled by Condi Rice. This November 15th Lynching Kangaroo Court consists of Israel?s most dedicated enemies. To complete the full picture, consider the inquisitors in this Kangaroo Court.
First are the creators of the so-called "Quartet" who supposedly created George W. Bush?s "Road Map". In the Quartet is the "Captain", that is the pro-Arab U.S. State Department fronted by Rice with James Baker prompting from the background, with the highly likely Jewish advisors of Baker?s former team, telling him of the weak spots in the Jewish leadership. The U.S. State Department has always been known for trying to abort the birth of the State of Israel in 1947-8 and ever since, to manipulate its speedy demise.
Then there is the United Nations, which spends most of its time voting condemnations of Israel but, never the Terrorist Nations nor those who support those hostile to the Western countries freedoms and democracy.
The European Union will be there and many of them have been known as those nations who collaborated with Hitler by turning their Jews over to the Nazi Gestapo for liquidation. Of course, Russia plays its role -- but, its history cannot be hidden. Russia continually persecuted its Jews with pogroms, forcing the Jews to live in abject poverty with high taxes and in the "Pale of Settlement" on poor land. Now Russia is said to be arming Iran with nuclear technology and Syria with weapons.
Tony Blair has been appointed by the Quartet to act a high manipulator. If you are aware of past British attitudes toward the Jews, in Israel and elsewhere, you will understand his appointment.
In addition, this amalgam includes all Arab Muslim nations, whose oil riches control many of those other countries who might have been neutral and more fair without that manipulation.
The Arab League, Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia will be invited and will attend IF Rice can squeeze out "Pre-Concessions" from the weak, corrupt, craven Quisling Ehud Olmert, they too will come. Naturally, Abu Mazen, head of Fatah (including the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, Tanzim and other Terror organizations left over from Arafat?s days) will come.
This band of cut-throats are being assembled by Bush and Rice to hack Israel into smaller bits.
The Tribune assault has several roles to play. First, it is intended to frighten American Jews into silence before the November Lynch Party. The location of the Summit is the U.S. Naval Academy at Anapolis. Do you think that is a coincidence? I think not.
Second, it must also silence AIPAC, so that the American lobby for Israel will not lobby Congress to interfere with the disassembling of Israel. The process of shutting down AIPAC began a few years ago when a sting operation was approved by Bush and Rice regarding "transfer of information". The "sting" involved a so-called illegal leak to AIPAC about Iran's transfer of arms to Syria - something that the State Department apparently didn't want Israel to know.
Third, the timing: Simultaneity is not coincidental. American, Israeli and World Jewry will have to choose which event to attend: the GA in Nashville or the Israel-lynching in Annapolis.
The Bush Administration will be both, twisting to convince the Jewish attendees that giving up Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria will somehow guarantee that the Muslim Arab Palestinian terrorists, the Arab nations and the radical Islamists suddenly and inexplicably will cease terror an their continual campaign for Israel's eradication. It is expected that, while Israel is being dissected in Maryland, the Jews attending their GA in Tennessee will be applauding the speeches in Annapolis which promise "Peace in Our Time".
I have little doubt that we?ll see a sequence of other flag-ship journals and lesser lights picking up this story, and other anti-Israel historical provocations, as it if were today?s hot news. I expect to see a lot of shit thrown against the wall to see what sticks before the main event of Bush, Rice and Baker against Israel. As for the European Media, they never need a reason to bash Israel but, Condi?s Lynch Party will be only show in town to attract them, too.
Lynching Israel has been the State Department?s goal since 1947 and has not stopped or faltered a day since. While Rice is the "talking head" for Bush, look for James Baker as the "masked" arranger, only slightly off in the shadows, advising Rice how to best get at the Jews -- as he did in the spectacularly failed "Road Map" plan and many plans and papers before that.
I initially had thought that the Liberty attack in the Trib was the "Kick-off Campaign of Propaganda" but, then remembered CNNs Christiane Amanpour?s high profile series "The Warriors of God," aired twice in August 2007. Christiane, herself an Iranian, opened the series by positioning Israel, using decades-old incidents involving marginal and minor Israeli fringe groups -- as the baseless attacker of those poor innocent Palestinians. Perhaps the Amanpour series was the real "Kick-off" of State's preparation to Lynch Israel.
CNN is sort of like the New York Times of TV and well connected to State. And hey, whaddya know, it just so happens that Christiane is married to James Rubin, former spokesman of, you guessed it, the State Department.
Recall how CNN was allowed to stay in Iraq by Saddam Hussein in 1991 while all the other TV outlets were kicked out during the first Gulf War when Hussein attacked Kuwait. Yes, the network of super-patriots Ted Turner and Jane Fonda is working hand-in-glove with Foggy Bottom to pull out all the stops to get Israel good this November.
The manhole cover to this sewer has been pulled off and the stink of managed news is stinking up to the ceiling.
