Mark Dankof's America

     Philip Giraldi’s post on Iran for the American Conservative Defense Council, is laced with wisdom.

     Perhaps the most significant portion of the piece is his reminder of how laughable it is that any of the candidates in the June 12 Iranian elections are depicted as reformers or advocates of anything approaching Western concepts of law, jurisprudence, democracy, human rights, or freedom of expression.

     Ahmadinejad, of course, is the subject of absolute demonization in mainstream Western media. Yet his opponents include Mir Hossein Mousavi, historically an IRI hardliner, whose credentials include the beginning of Iran’s nuclear program, an assist in the founding of Hezbollah, and a possible role in directing the attack on the US Marines at the US Embassy in Beirut in the early 1980s. Giraldi states that Mousavi is "heir to the corrupt Iran of the post-revolutionary period when the country was looted by the senior clerics cooperating with the business class, the bazaaris." Mousavi’s money man is The Shark, former Majlis speaker Ali Akbar Hashemi Rasfanjani, the international poster-boy for IRI corruption and intrigue, whose role on the Guardians Council, the Assembly of Experts, and the Expediency Council, has been one of suppressing any freedom of speech or truly independent elections in Iran for decades.

     The Iranian people fare no better with the other main rivals in the June 12^th election, "reformist cleric" [the ultimate oxymoron used with a straight face in the June 25^th Wall Street Journal] Mehdi Karroubi; and former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards military force, Mohsen Rezaie. These men all have one thing in common. They are clearly crooks and thugs.

     The basic problem in Iran is not any of the personalities involved in the current electoral controversy. The core issue is the doctrine of velayat-e-faqeh, or "guardianship of the jurist", which holds that in an Islamic state, a scholar of Islamic law, anointed by God, must exercise absolute authority over elected officials and the entirety of government. As pointed out in the June 26^th edition of the Wall Street Journal, the theocratic theology of velayat-e-faqeh was formulated by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in a 1970 tome authored in the Iraqi city of Najaf, the traditional center of Shiite learning. It has plagued Iran since 1979.

     The core task for the Iranian people is to rid themselves of velayat-e-faqeh, even as the world needs a simultaneous disenfranchisement of the Temple Mount kooks in Israel, and the Armageddon-oriented sickos in America’s Christian Right, who believe that promotion of the apocalyptic visions of Avigdor Lieberman is a necessary precursor to a desired Third World War which subsequently paves the way for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The lesson in each of these instances is the same: theocracy is a dangerous concept, especially in the nuclear age. It does not matter whether it comes in Islamic, Jewish/Zionist, or Christian guises. It is inherently demonic, regardless of the package wrapping. Its endgame is repression, destruction, and death on a global scale.

     What then, is the alternative to velayat-e-faqeh? Clearly the doctrine’s demise must be accompanied by the elimination of the Guardians Council, Expediency Council, Assembly of Experts, and other IRI institutions designed to maintain economic and political power in the hands of the mullahs, enshrouded in the evil illusion that God has spoken through these institutions and the men who cynically wield the sword through them. No serious political reform in Iran is possible aside from this step as the foundation for anything that subsequently transpires.

     But beyond this critical move, what will then follow?

     No one presently knows, including this commentator. But my own preliminary proposal for the Iranian people would involve the re-establishment of two institutions–the 2,500 year old Persian monarchy, and a truly secular, independent Majlis operating free of theocratic restraints.

     This proposal has several critical caveats attached. Pahlavi must be able to seriously convince his people and the world, that a revived monarchy can be compatibilized with a legitimate parliamentary system reflecting mass popular will in clean elections. The wielding of absolutist monarchial power as a viable substitute for velayat-e-faqeh, is a notion to be deemed dead-on-arrival. Can he convince the domestic Iranian electorate and expatriate communities? It remains to be seen.

     The final caveat is even more critical. Iranians across the political spectrum, including the monarchists, must diametrically oppose any Israeli and/or American neo-conservative military intervention and intelligence intrigue in Iran, advocated by a dangerous element in the Western media and a Jewish-dominated American Congress.

     On this latter score, the documented Israeli PAC money funding American politicians, and chronicled by Hugh Galford in the May/June Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA), suggests that millions of Americans would be well served to worry about the legitimacy and independence of their own government, and its severance from a foreign lobby more than happy to use corrupt amounts of cash, media manipulation, and provable espionage, to further policies designed to destroy what was once the old American Republic.

     The Great Messiah has been inaugurated this January 20^th, in the midst of a sea of media fawning tainted with millennial overtones. One thing is absolutely sure: being Anyone but George W. Bush will take you a long way in terms of public relations and international good will. That part of the celebratory spirit in the Nation’s Capital today is entirely legitimate. Here in San Antonio, I will have an inaugural Hacker-Pschorr Weiss Bier with my colleagues at the Beethoven Maennerchor, to toast Mr. Bush’s long awaited return to Crawford. One trusts he will do no further harm to the Republic from that location.

     But there will be no toasting what will most certainly follow. One year from now, the Pink and Black Rainbow Coalition will awaken to the sober fact that the Second Advent did not materialize on January 20^th, 2009 in Babylon-By-The- Potomac. That constituency, and Mr. Obama himself, will be struggling to tread water in the Lake of Fire.

     One need not look any farther than the appointment of Rahm Israel Immanuel as the Chief of Staff to the incoming 44^th President of the United States, to see the bigger picture. Dr. E. Michael Jones, author of the new book, "The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History," informs us in the December 2008 edition of Culture Wars, in an essay entitled, "Meet the New Boss: The Catholic Vote and the Logic of Empire", of the implications of the Immanuel appointment. As Jones lays it out, a Presidential Chief of Staff who served in the Israeli Army, whose father was a key member of Menachem Begin’s Irgun in its terrorist heyday in the 1940s, and who has been the leading recipient in the Congress of PAC money from the most tainted elements of the financial services industry on Wall Street, is hardly a harbinger of an impending change in American public policy directed from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

     Immanuel will hold the keys to the entrance into the West Wing of the White House. You know who will continue to have Oval Office access in this fraudulent, unfolding scenario. Welcome, International Central Bankers. Welcome, Zionist agents of the criminal regime in Tel Aviv. The mass murder being currently directed against Palestinians in Gaza has as its managing strategists the same folks targeting middle class Americans for extinction as well, only the latter constituency has not yet deduced who is behind its inexorable economic and cultural demise, even as its remaining money continues to be conscripted to finance the continuation of the physical elimination of the former.

     On the other hand, Rahm Israel Immanuel is perhaps the quintessential harbinger of change, if you define the word, as I do, as a guaranteed multiplication of all of the darkest trends that threaten to destroy the United States as a nation-state, a free Republic, and a major player in the international arena.

     All the unmistakable signs are there: the continued death of an American manufacturing economy which lost 3 million jobs in the Bush years alone; the first of a series of trillion dollar budget deficits in 2009; the continuation of unwinnable wars of colonialism and counterinsurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan that Mr. Stieglitz of the World Bank calculates will cost 3 trillion dollars at the unseen end of the tunnel; a prime-the-pump response to economic catastrophe that involves both the $750 billion bank bailout and Mr. Obama’s $800 billion in "stimulus"; an ongoing reliance upon foreign international borrowing and the printing of fiat money by the Fed to finance this smoke-and-mirrors game; the continued Balkanization of the United States courtesy of 20 million illegal aliens; and further cultural and moral malignancy metastasis, courtesy of the Jewish-dominated gay, abortion, and Hollywood constituencies presently infatuated with the Man from Kenya and Cook County.

     Ex-KGB analyst and Russian foreign ministry instructor, Igor Panarin, has painted his own prophetic picture of coming "change" in America by the year 2010, in an article posted recently in the Wall Street Journal. He predicts the coming breakup of the United States into four sectors, each dominated by a foreign power. Panarin’s thesis involves the same moral, political, and military analysis of the United States that I have proffered as an American paleoconservative. Even more ominously, the suggestion that 2010 is the year of prophetic fulfillment suggests that the good Russian professor has been reading Daniel’s account of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, or the Judean prophet’s proclamation of the end of Belshazzar’s reign and the Babylonian Empire.

     My prediction: some version of Igor Panarin’s portrait is about to be painted, and very soon.

     One additional prediction: Obama will follow Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s game plan to a tee. There will be frantic pump priming. The pump priming will ultimately fail, as it did between 1932 and 1940. The endgame will be global war. Robert Stinnis’s Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor is most instructive regarding the duplicitous machinations of America’s 32^nd President, with the original documents of the period to corroborate his analysis, courtesy of the Freedom of Information Act. Some version of this strategy will be repristinated now. The 44^th President of the United States will be the new front man to sell a new generation of suckers on the idea, with the real perpetrators staying in the background once again. Who are they? Charles Lindbergh’s 1941 speech in Des Moines, Iowa identified them 67 years ago. His speech also identifies them in 2009.

     The tripwire may well be the holocaust perpetrated by Israel and backed officially by the United States, in Gaza, as chronicled in Philip Giraldi’s "Pure Propaganda From the Papers of Record." Whether in Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan, or Pakistan, the game plan involves linking Iran to a false-flag incident in any or all of these locations, or in the United States itself. That will be followed by a fanning of the flames of Western public sentiment for an attack on Iran, courtesy of a Zionist-dominated American media. The entire tragedy will be wrapped in Old Glory. The Stars and Stripes will conceal the Seal of the House of Rothschild’s imprimatur and presence.

     But Mr. Obama’s public tome, entitled "The Audacity of Hope," underscores the underlying theme of today’s Inaugural Address to the infatuated, that hope is justified and positive change an inevitability. Sure it is. Welcome, P. T. Barnum.

     Let me reiterate to the presently infatuated: the national direction of the United States of America underscores temporal hopelessness; the real handlers of Barack Obama underscore the inevitability of change that is merely an exponential multiplication of the demonic trends that have brought this country--and the world--to the edge of the abyss. The clock is ticking.

     And as for any semblance of positive change coming out of Babylon-By-The-Potomac, let me suggest a real foundational beginning for America’s 44^th President of the United States and the presently Zionist Occupied Territory known as the Congress of the United States.

     That foundational beginning involves the articulation of a new Declaration of Independence for the people of the United States–from the Israeli Lobby. The actual enactment of the principles of this Declaration involves the following:

1. An immediate cessation of American foreign aid to Israel, all $10 billion a year, and the termination of the $30 billion in new American military aid to Israel already appropriated for the next decade.

2. An immediate demand of the government of Israel that it publicly apologize for its deliberate, premeditated attack on the USS Liberty on June 8^th, 1967, along with an insistence that Israel pay reparations to the survivors, as well as to the families of the dead.

3. An immediate dictation of terms to Israel for the legitimate establishment of a Palestinian state in the region, accompanied by apologies to the government of that new entity by both Israel and the United States for crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinians since 1947-48. The United States government would make a good faith gesture of yet-to-be-determined financial reparations to the Palestinians, accompanying the formal diplomatic apology.

4. The immediate termination of all Israeli espionage operations and networks in the United States. This forced termination of Tel Aviv’s spy network within America’s borders, would be reinforced by the public execution of Jonathan Pollard for treason, and honest trials for AIPAC’s Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman on the identical charge. An honest trial for the latter two would clearly involve the disqualification of Zionist stooge, Judge Thomas Ellis of Alexandria, Virginia, as presider over the case, and the subsequent appointment of a new venue. Ben-Ami Kadish would face a treason trial in the United States. Upon legitimate trial and secured conviction, Rosen, Weissman, and Kadish would join Pollard in receiving the death penalty, only after being allowed to receive the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg Award from the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith (ADL), of course.

5. The immediate declaration of AIPAC and ADL as the representatives of a foreign government. If the Rosen, Weissman, and Kadish inquiries produce further evidence of AIPAC/ADL inspired espionage operations against the people and government of the United States, diplomatic relations with Israel would be severed, followed by the outlawing of the operation of AIPAC and ADL in the United States in perpetuity. Check out the recent article by Philip Giraldi, entitled "Israel’s ‘Get out of Jail Free’ Card"as a recent synopsis and primer.

6. The immediate return of monetary policy to the Congress of the United States, and the elimination of the Federal Reserve Board. Fractional reserve banking would be terminated, largely along the lines suggested by Dr. Ellen Brown.

7. The immediate termination of American participation in globalist trade treaties and entities, like NAFTA, GATT, the WTO, the FTAA, the World Bank, the IMF, Permanent MFN for Communist China, the Import-Export Bank, ad infinitum.

8. The immediate enactment of policies to resurrect American manufacturing industries, accompanied by the abolishment of the Federal Income Tax, the repeal of the 16^th Amendment, and a return to "excises, imposts, and duties" as a means of raising revenues for the legitimate operations of the American government. My old friend, Howard Phillips, tells the tale-of-the-tape here.

9. The immediate trial, conviction, and imprisonment of every member of the financial services industry in America who has stolen the innocent blind, including Bernard Madoff. Who really profited by the Madoff heist? Check out the real story, courtesy of Christopher Bollyn. And as for how to punish the bad guys, America needs to take a hint from Vladimir Putin of Russia.

     M. Raphael Johnson’s essay on Putin in the September/October 2007 Barnes Review underscores what the Western media is concealing from the people of the United States: that the oligarchs who have stolen the former Soviet Union blind since Yeltsin’s "privatization" of the Soviet economy, are almost exclusively Russian Jews with strong ties to the government of Israel and its Mossad intelligence organization. These names include Vladimir Gusinsky, Mikhail Friedman, Boris Berezovsky, Yuri Shelfer, and the infamous Mikhail Khodorkovsky of YUKOS oil fame. Khodorkovsky’s "Open Russian Institute," a lobbying organization tied to the oligarchs, has Lord Rothschild of the UK and the peripatetic Henry Kissinger, as board members. Get the picture?

     In the case of Bernard Madoff, maybe there is reason for more than a grain of hope. Let’s face it: A guy who cheats weasels like Hadassah, the pro-abortion cheerleading section of the American Jewish Congress; Marc Rich; Sheldon Adelson; Elie Wiesel; Stephen Spielberg; and Mort Zuckerman out of a few billion, isn’t all bad. Bradley Burston of Haaretz sure sees the irony. And the ADL is panicked that the rest of us might figure it all out.

     A final suggestion to my fellow populist America First conservatives is in order. With ADL-sponsored "hate crimes" legislation, draconian gun control measures, and the curtailment of First Amendment freedom of expression on the World Wide Web just around the corner for us, maybe a stint abroad in exile is in the cards. Call my Republic Broadcasting Network radio show at 1-800-313-9443 when I air live on Sunday mornings, with your suggestions on destinations. You and I may well have to pack our bags. And soon.

Mark Dankof's guest on the Republic Broadcasting Network on January 18th was Marti Oakley of The Proud Political Junkie's Gazette.  Marti discussed the globalist implications of the National Animal Registration Act (NAIS) with reference to her essay at that site.  Mark Dankof opened the show with reference to Paul Craig Roberts's Counterpunch essay, "The Humiliation of America". and the Doubletree Hotel's decision in Washington, D. C. to cancel a public homosexual sex orgy scheduled in the Nation's Capital in celebration of the election of Barack Obama.

     2008 will be remembered as a year of major downturn in the fortunes of the people of the United States and the American Republic. In my next post for Al Bawaba, I will proffer the reasons why I believe the incoming Obama Administration’s mantra for "change" will prove an unfulfilled one in 2009. USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney and I will discuss these reasons this coming Sunday on the Republic Broadcasting Network. Stay tuned.

     No symbol of the downturn in the fortunes of an America long gone matches the May 2008 departure of my old friend, Eddy Arnold. Once dubbed The Tennessee Plowboy and America’s Ambassador of Country Music, Mr. Arnold departed this present world as a denizen of a nursing home outside of Nashville. His wife, Sally, preceded him in death by two months.

     I invite you to read the tribute paid to this great man and singer by The New York Times in the wake of his passing. His professional accomplishments are too numerous to chronicle here, but they include Billboard Magazine’s acknowledgment that Arnold was the leading country music record seller of all time; USA Today’s characterization of him as "the most commercially successful country western artist in history"; and CMT’s amazing post this past year that noted, unbelievably, that Arnold’s last RCA single, 2005's "To Life," charted after his death. Take note: with this last accomplishment, Eddy Arnold became the only recording artist in history to issue a charted single in each of seven–yes, seven–decades. Not Crosby, Sinatra, Como, Williams, Bennett, Pavarotti, Domingo, or any other singing legend that might come to mind, but a fellow from rural Tennessee born Richard Edward Arnold on May 15, 1918.

     I experienced a personal tragedy and setback right after graduation from college in 1977. Unbeknownst to me, two college friends decided to take in the Eddy Arnold show at that time at suburban Chicago’s Mill Run Theatre. The legendary singer decided to hang around after the concert, to pose gratis for photos and to sign programs. My friends mentioned to him that their own enjoyment of his live show came courtesy of my recommendation of his music and stage presence. My temporary setback was also mentioned in the context of the conversation that night in the theatre.

     Some days later, at my home in San Antonio, a manila envelope appeared in my mailbox. It had no return address. When I opened the envelope, there was a lengthy letter of encouragement addressed to me by Eddy Arnold, along with a personalized signed portrait identical to the one seen in the singer’s own study as chronicled in a media photo of the superstar taken by USA Today in 2002. The letter now resides in a safe deposit box in an undisclosed location.

     Several years later, I became a one year resident in a Lutheran seminary in Berkeley, California. That fall, the San Francisco Chronicle entertainment section listed the incoming acts for several months at Harrah’s main showroom in Reno. One of them was Eddy Arnold.

     It seemed important that I see the show. I flew from San Francisco to Reno for the day. Upon arrival in Reno, I spent most of the afternoon at the largest gun museum in the world, followed by a self directed tour of Harrah’s gambling casino, a place out of my league and element. That night, I had a front dinner table seat at the Eddy Arnold show.

     I had written a brief note of thanks to Arnold for his kind letter of 1977 before the show, subsequently slipped to a Harrah’s concierge with the assurance the singer would receive the note after the performance. After the show’s conclusion, I began following the crowd out of the showroom, noting that I had a comfortable 3 hours to kill at the Reno airport before returning to San Francisco.

     There was a tap on my shoulder. It was the concierge. I was initially startled, then dumbfounded when he indicated that Mr. Arnold was requesting my presence backstage. I followed the concierge through a maze of security and several hallways, only to surreally find myself in the singing leviathan’s dressing room.

     I do not remember how many minutes we talked that night. I do remember later departing for the airport thinking that I had been in the presence of something indefinably special that would not come my way again.

     I caught the Yellow Cab that night outside of Harrah’s, bound for Reno International Airport and a return flight to San Francisco. It was November 4^th, 1979. The cabbie’s radio was buzzing with reports of the Iranian student takeover of the American Embassy in Tehran. As the reports continued, I began to fear the outbreak of war and global catastrophe. I began thinking about all of my Iranian friends in Tehran, made during my parents’s sojourn there from 1973-78, and how incredibly dark world events had become.

     Almost 30 years have passed. The world is an even darker place than it was then. I believe that the United States will still be engaged in a military tragedy with Iran, for reasons Mr. Tourney and I will discuss this coming Sunday on RBN radio. Along with that horrific scenario, there is Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, trillion dollar budget deficits, $700 billion bank and brokerage firm bailouts, the disappearance of America’s manufacturing economy, rampant crime, and an ever seeping moral sewage emanating from both Washington and Hollywood that threatens to dwarf the souls of my countrymen.

     But the legacy of Eddy Arnold and a different America remain bright in my memory. Arnold’s now distantly recorded albums titled Thereby Hangs a Tale and Cattle Call may give your children and grandchildren a glimpse of a different time and place, and an Americana longed for, and not to be seen ever again. Check out his last charted single, "To Life," by clicking here.

     I will remember him and what he embodied, for all the remaining days of my life.

The truth behind Spiegel’s article on Cyrus the Great
by Cyrus Kar
07-Aug-2008 (14 comments)
In a recent article, titled “UN Treasure Honors Persian Despot,” Spiegel
Magazine criticizes the United Nations for recognizing an ancient artifact believed by many to be the world’s first declaration of human rights. The “Persian Despot” of course is Cyrus The Great, the author of the doctrine inscribed on the outer surface of a clay cylinder housed at the British Museum in London where it’s simply known as the Cyrus Cylinder. When this cylinder was discovered in 1879, amid the ruins of Babylon, it made huge headlines in the Christian West. It was the first time a biblical story had been confirmed through archaeology. But the euphoria quickly wore off. The democratic age had no room for a celebrated monarch.  See:

Book Review:

The Golem:  Israel's Nuclear Hell Bomb and the Road to Global Armageddon
by Michael Collins Piper
American Free Press, Washington, D. C./1-888-699-NEWS
182 pages

"American politicians are scared stiff of the Jews because anybody who votes against the Jews will lose elections.  The Jews in America are supporting the Jews in Israel.  Israel and other Jews control the most powerful nation in the world.  And that is what I mean [about Jews controlling the world by proxy].  I stand by that view."

--Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, ex prime-minister of Malaysia, to the UK Guardian in 2005

     The recent murder of yet another 10 year old Palestinian boy in Gaza by Israeli occupational forces, and the character of Israeli strip searches of Palestinians as reported by Alison Weir of If Americans Knew, are but the most recent evidence of the character of the Zionist regime supported by the United States since 1948. 

     Mark Glenn's August 4th post at Crescent and Cross on the "suicide" of Dr. Bruce Ivins, the late anthrax researcher stationed at Fort Dietrich, Maryland, is similarly suggestive, especially in light of Glenn Greenwald's recent reflections on the subject for Salon. 

     There is much that is not what it appears to be.

     The composite picture of the last 60 years is both starkly grim, and largely unreported by the American corporate media for all the usual and obvious reasons, a phenomenon understood only by the less than one percent of the electorate in the United States which has figured out the predictable modus operandi of the Israeli government and intelligence apparatus, and the Neo-Conservatives in the American government and national security establishment married to their masters in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

     The individual episodes in the composite model are a litany of carefully veiled crimes against both indigenous Palestinians and a largely unsuspecting American public whose political, military, and economic largesse has been skillfully siphoned off by an Israeli Lobby disproportionately influential in every arena of institutional life in the United States.  The Begin/Irgun bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the assassination of Count Bernadotte, the ethnic cleansing and genocide at Deir Yassin, the Lavon Affair, the assassination of President Kennedy, the premeditated attack on the USS Liberty, Rafi Eitan's purloining of American nuclear secrets at Los Alamos in a joint Israeli-Communist Chinese espionage project involving PROMIS, the murder of UK media magnate Robert Maxwell, the Israeli utilization of cluster bombs in southern Lebanon in 2006, and the pivotal role of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) crowd in paving the way for the present American military prosecution of wars of counterinsurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan, are noteworthy but far from exhaustive examples of a brand of criminal activity emanating from the Zionist State and annually subsidized by an American Congress to the tune of at least $5 billion a year.  Pat Buchanan'scharacterization of the latter as "Zionist Occupied Territory" is clearly on target.

     The next phase in the program of Eretz Yisrael is obviously an American-Israeli preemptive military strike on Iran.  The predicted aerial raids on Iran, potentially with the employment of tactical nuclear weapons, are but an extension of a conflict that has already started in earnest.  Philip Giraldi of The American Conservative has noted the execution of CIA-Mossad-MI6 black operations in Iranian Azerbaijan, Khuzestan, and Balochistan provinces in recent months.  Economic sanctions against Tehran and its central banks have been widely reported by Bloomberg and The Asian Times.  The publicized deployment of American aircraft carrier task forces in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz augment these other methodologies in the War of Nerves. 

     This War of Nerves has a new component in recent weeks:  the introduction in the United States Congress of House Concurrent Resolution 362, sponsored by Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-N. Y.).  The companion legislation in the United States Senate is Resolution 580, introduced by Sen. Evan Bayh (D.-Ind.).  As pointed out by Rep. RonPaul (R-Tex.) in the July 28 American Free Press, the House legislative action is a "virtual Iran war resolution." That House Concurrent Resolution 362 is being promoted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is predictable. 

     And when one reads the most recent AIPAC speeches by sockpuppets Obama, McCain, and Clinton, the configuration of the tea leaves becomes definitive:  War with Iran, as Congressman Paul has indicated, is virtually "inevitable."

     What has made this tragedy an apparent fait accompli?  Many have suggested an intersection of interests has put Iran in the cross hairs.  Has the Eretz Yisrael Lobby made common cause with transnational oil and gas consortiums thirsty for reserves, pipelines, and the compelling drive to destroy a Euro-denominated oil bourse created by Ahmadinejad?

     One thing is guaranteed:  the world will note that Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPF), while Israel is not.  Mr. Bush and Mr. Shaul Mofaz notwithstanding, the NPF grants Tehran the right under international law to enrich uranium for non-militarized purposes.  Concurrently, it will be duly noted that the American National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) and the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) contradict the Neo-Conservative depiction of an imminently dangerous and weaponized Iranian nuclear program.  And should the Iranian program be proven to have a military application downstream, another question will be begged:  Why has the United States done nothing about the weaponized nuclear programs of India and Pakistan, much less the unrestrained nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons profile of Israel, while threatening Iran with preemptive apocalypse?

     Finally, one may ask if an American economic profile involving a $9 trillion dollar national debt, and $16 billion dollars a month in expenditures of internationally borrowed monies for Iraq and Afghanistan, can sustain the additional financial burden of another War for Israel, this time with Iran.  And what strategies of asymmetrical warfare has Tehran crafted as a response to Tel Aviv and Washington? 

     Will Beijing and Moscow acquiesce in an IDF-USAF pummeling of their Persian ally, and an accompanying American hegemony over Caspian Sea oil and Central Asian trade routes? 

     No American Presidential candidate is offering the answers to these compelling questions.  And on the basis of H. R. 362 and S. R. 580, the Congress of the United States is compelled to sign on to the next phase of the War Party's vision for the world, even if the endgame is the death of thousands, or millions, of innocent victims.  One can be forgiven for drawing the conclusion that these deaths mean little to the American and Israeli establishments as long as the blood shed involves Persians and Arabs.  When a sea of American financial red ink is accompanied by a symmetrical loss of the blood of its own sons and daughters, light will presumably dawn.  Will it be too late for the Old Republic and the world?

     It is in light of this last rhetorical question that the reader will appreciate the recent work of Michael Collins Piper, entitled "The Golem:  Israel's Nuclear Hell Bomb and the Road to Armageddon."

     The value of Piper's effort is multifold.  He begins by addressing the hot button issue of Jewish racial supremacism as articulated in the Talmud and embodied in the legend of The Golem.  While the issue of Talmudic racialism and the doctrine of Jewish exclusivity is more comprehensively addressed in "Jesus in the Talmud," the seminal work of Dr. Peter Schafer, Ronald O. Perelman Professor of Judaic Studies and Director of the Program in Judaic Studies at Princeton, Piper's willingness to bring Talmudic ideology into a wider comprehension of Israeli nuclear policy is instructive to the newly initiated. 

     A second ingredient of The Golem is the author's encyclopedic knowledge of the pro-Zionist, Neo-Conservative links of a labyrinthine maze of media outlets, politicians, think tanks, publishing houses, and Israeli assets operating within the American government and national security establishment.  The reader will begin a life-long journey toward the truth and all of its derivative implications in simply engaging in Internet search of each tidbit of data provided in The Golem.

     The Golem offers a third contribution especially crucial to understanding the comprehensive consequences of the takeover of the American Right after World War II by pro-Zionist elements with fistfuls of Jewish cash--the treasured work of Lawrence Dennis (1893-1977), tabbed by Piper as "America's foremost nationalist theoretician" for the former's opposition to Zionist power, the emergence of nuclear weapons, and Wars for Empire enshrouded in utilitarian religious and theocratic auras.  Piper's reproduction of the Dennis essay entitled, "The Biggest Crime of the 20th Century," occurs in chapter 30 and is must reading.  Contrasting the prophetic Dennis warnings contained in the essay with the regular Neo-Conservative fanfare churned out by WorldNetDaily, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Human Events, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and The Washington Times, one is reminded that the Old Right's commitment to limited and Constitutional governance is antithetical to the Zionist-funded Neo-Conservative Right and the latter's infatuation with ongoing deployments of the American military as a surrogate janissary force for Israel and transnational corporations.  Michael Collins Piper reminds the reader of Lawrence Dennis's warnings about domestic police states as a necessary corollary to governments bent on wars of imperialism abroad, even as attention is drawn anew, by the author, to the obvious fact that the Zionist State of Israel is the key ingredient in this self-destructive direction undertaken by the American governing elite.

     In the consideration of the Lawrence Dennis legacy, the reader is also reminded of the paucity of present voices on the American Right still sounding the alarms of this long departed 20th century Leviathan.  In its own way, The Golem and its author unwittingly confirm that Michael Collins Piper is not simply one of those voices still extant, but arguably the torchbearer of the 21st century movement to regain both the American Right and the Old Republic from the evils of Zionism, Globalism, and the New World Order.  In that regard, Mr. Piper has an excruciating burden to bear, and many miles to go before he sleeps.
