Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review June 27, 2023
It is generally accepted in government circles as well as in the media that covers Washington politics that both major political parties now embrace foreign and national security policies that are both aggressive and brutally conducted, essentially products of the so-called neoconservatives, or neocons for short. Ron Unz has recently written a lengthy 6500 word article describing how the neocons rose to power, beginning with their relatively humble origins as a gathering of frequently radicalized Jewish students at the City College of New York in the 1930s. Their disenchantment with Stalin turned them away from the Soviet communist model and they frequently self-described as Trotskyites or other fringe elements on the political left. Some of the founders of the movement later elaborated how they were in many cases “Liberals who had been mugged by reality” as they drifted in a conservative direction to gain political power. Ironically, or perhaps as a calculated strategy, Unz notes how many of the young Jewish neocons retained their “leftist” social attitudes even as they drifted to the right over national security, a posture that gave them a foot in the door of both major political parties.
Unz describes the neocons’ utter ruthlessness in their climb to power, starting in the Reagan Administration, where they obtained key positions in the Pentagon and in the national security structure. I personally witnessed some of their presence and ambitions in the 1980s when I was in the CIA base in Istanbul. They would show up at the Consulate General in small groups drawn from the Pentagon or under the aegis of the American Jewish Committee and other similar organizations to enter into discussions with the diplomatic personnel as well as Turkish officials. They were frequently agitating for military action against Iran, Iraq and Syria and were always apologists for Israel. When Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard was arrested in 1985 and then convicted in 1987 Jewish organizations were thick on the ground arguing that he was mentally unbalanced and could not possibly be a spy for good friend and close ally Israel. One of our Consuls General bought into the argument to such an extent that he tried to sell it to the Turks, who were not buying it. I had a heated exchange with him regarding what he was ignorantly peddling, to no avail.
It is not as if the neocon reckless definition of “national security” is consequence free, as we are currently seeing in the war going on largely driven by its imperatives in Ukraine. Ron Unz had preceded his dissection of the neocon “rise to power” with an article entitled “Dislodging the Neocons, Difficult but Necessary.” Unz describes how the neocons at one level have been completely successful. “After having controlled American foreign policy for more than three decades, promoting their allies and protégés and purging their opponents,” the adherents of the view that the United States must absolutely dominate the world militarily and set the rules of behavior for everyone now is agreed upon by nearly the entire political establishment, including both political parties as well as the leading thinktanks, lobbying groups and media. By now, there are hardly any prominent figures in either party who adhere to a significantly different line, which has made “antiwar” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard so attractive to some of us. More to the point, over the last two decades, the “national security focused neoconservatives have largely joined forces with the economically-focused neoliberals, forming a unified ideological block that represents the political worldview of the elites running both American parties.”
Unz has recognized how the neocons have infiltrated both political parties and their foreign policy vision has been adopted by all, with some like Victoria Nuland posing as Democrats while others continue to pretend to be Republicans. To put it another way, progressives in the Democratic Party do not feel particularly threatened by the neoconservatives as most neocons are conventional Jewish liberals on social issues, which are what is most important to Democrats. This all means that legislators and government officials can all agree on the necessity to maintain a brutal foreign policy based on military force since it has nothing to do with abortions, race or gender issues.
I recently witnessed a manifestation of this seriously skewed and dangerous world view in my own congressional district in Virginia. Our Democratic Party congresswoman Jennifer Wexton is functionally as woke as can be. When she was first elected back in 2018 and moved into her office in the following January, one of her first gestures was to hang a transgender pride flag outside her door. Since that time, she has been an active supporter of the usual Democratic Party endorsed woke catalog of grievances. She is certainly a good fit in a county in which a biological boy who chose to identify and dress like a girl exploited high school gender neutral policies to rape one genuine girl in a unisex school toilet before being sent to another high school rather than expelled and prosecuted where he raped a second girl. One of the girl’s fathers was silenced when he sought to protest against the policies at a School Board meeting.
Wexton has now introduced into Congress a bill which will change the name of our local post office, which is currently named after the town it is located in, to honor Madeleine Albright, the recently deceased former UN Ambassador and Secretary of State under Bill Clinton. My immediate reaction to news of the bill, which will likely pass easily through Congress as it is unimportant to most legislators, is that I would not want to enter into a building that honors an unindicted war criminal. Indeed, I will not do so. I drafted up a short dissent from the move supported by an account of just how Albright was a war criminal, including her comment that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children due to her and Clinton’s sanctions were “worth it,” and posted it on Facebook, where the administrators immediately removed it.
Wexton, of course, praises Albright as if she were the greatest US Secretary of State since George Marshall. She enthuses in support of her bill that “Secretary Madeleine Albright was a fearless trailblazer for women and a devoted public servant who touched the lives of so many whom she taught, mentored, and worked with… Her relentless defense of democracy and advocacy for human rights, inspired by her own lived experience fleeing Nazi persecution, made her an icon here at home and around the globe.” Citing “Fleeing Nazis?” What could be a better conventional endorsement? And it is a lie. Albright and her family survived the Second World War comfortably and left Czechoslovakia on their own volition in 1948, when she was eleven, long after the conflict had ended.
And that faux glorification is precisely where the hypocrisy of most of the sanctimonious congressional parasites comes in. Here we have an ultra-liberal congresswoman promoting purely on partisan political grounds someone whose malignant and even criminal career is readily discernible, to include also her role in enabling US intervention in the Balkans, sometimes referred to as “Madeleine’s war.” And then there were Bill Clinton’s diversionary missile attacks on the Sudan and Afghanistan and the expansion of NATO contrary to agreements made with Russia. Albright also ignored direct, emotional requests by the US Ambassador to Kenya that the embassy was vulnerable to attack by terrorists and needed an urgent security upgrade. The embassy in Nairobi and in neighboring Tanzania were subsequently bombed in 1998, killing 12 American diplomats and 200 Africans.
I would point out that going beyond the dead Iraqi children, Albright was borderline deranged about the neocon-ish belief in the righteousness of the applicability of US power as a solution for every problem. When demanding the US military intervention in Bosnia she reportedly turned to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell, who was reluctant to get involved, and asked “What’s the point of you saving this superb military for, Colin, if we can’t use it?” And then there is her famous quote justifying America’s lead role in the world, saying “If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.” Excuse me, but what sanctimonious and ultimately malicious bullshit that is!
In any event, rather than spend taxpayer money to rename a perfectly functional public building after an unindictable war criminal, Congresswoman Wexton might consider reaching into her own pocket to purchase a small commemorative plaque that can be placed in an inconspicuous location, possibly in front of her own home since she is so interested in cultivating the legend of one of America’s “finest” public servants. It would look real nice there, I am sure, and I wouldn’t have to see it when I go to pick up my mail.

Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same CON.
Redacted does a 30 minute propaganda warm up before they start their afternoon show (UK PM) and towards the end of this 30 minute warm up, they show a JFK speech from April 1961, about 6 weeks after I was born. How time flies when you’re having fun.
In JFK’s speech, he goes on to mention secret groups and societies. It’s all very well fingering the Jews, or the neocons, or some leftist cell. The real problem is that they tolerated, or even admired by those who would pretend to represent the thicko sheeple.
I’ve always held the view that specific targeting of these groups is big mistake, because it always backfires.
We have a two (or more) party one state regime where you can’t deferentiate between them, where leaders follow the same policies and elite created narratives which deadened the mind of even the most interested. The utter boredom of party conferences, and the mind bending speal that gushes from Sunak’s gob.
We’re fucking the sheeple over, but heck, just grin and bare it for the City Crime Cartels sake.
HSBC is pulling out of Canary Wharf. This is a massive symbolic event of monumental propartions. Not only is this the decline of the City, even if HSBC is moving to the old BT HQ not far from St Paul’s, but it is the first visible sign that London is in decline.
So how does this link in with neocons and secret societies? I think it’s fits nicely. We have a City that’s becoming less important, and given that the City Crime Cartels is the backbone of the bankrupt UK economy, HSBC, is deeply symbolic. Take King Charlie – Savile, he’s decided to chop the Firm right back, and his birthday bash looked pretty poor with a very small Firm on the balcony. This is significant. Less formal Royals, means less interest. You’ve got the Daily Fail working flat out trying to drum up interest in very dull Kate.
No matter where you look, every aspect of Western society is falling apart, and therefore we have the perfect opportunity to end the secrecy. Freemason, Zionist, & neocons. You name it, and you debase their power by ignoring the systems they’ve taken over. Don’t vote, don’t listen to the medical elites. Extract yourself from the financial systems… I’ve been saying this for nearly two decades, and what do we see, total failure. They moan about current interest rates, but they should be 16% and higher, so they can’t tackle inflation, and everyone is going to get poorer in real terms.
The sad thing is that sheeple pundits who we had some respect for, have now come out as neocon supporters. Only Ritter was prepared to finger MI6. Macgregor seems to believe there was only one aspect to this coup, and that was 4000 Wagner forces who had no idea what they were doing and had no chance against the troops around Moscow. The real coup was in Moscow, but the FSB sorted that out.
The City in decline is reflected by MI6’s desperate attempt to raid Russian resources.
Just look at that Grotesque jewish face…..pure evil.
Keep in mind individuals like Truman WERE CRYPTO JEWS… as was his predecessor.
Unless the subject of crypto jews is raised this is largely a waste of time.
QUESTION;How did the Albrights remain secure during WW2 ….theyre OBVIOUSLY JEWISH.
Simple..they were Marrano Catholics….when the coast was clear Albright came out of the closet and suddenly discovered she was a jew.
Hillary Clinton is ACTUALLY a jew….her husband might be.Hillarys daughter Chelsea (FC) got married to a jew.So did Trumps daughter (she is famous for having had de-jewizing cosmetic surgery ).So Trumpstein is a crypto jew as was his former wife who was also from Czechoslovakia just like the disgusting gnome Albright.
Looks like something that crawled out of Hell… 😳
Didn’t even bother to read about this F..king piece of Sh.t..
No matter how America remembers her and it can never tell the truth, the world will remember this evil witch. She died of cancer so as she lay on her deathbed she can’t have been comfortable about what may await her after she passed over.

I’m sure a lot of American servicemen ended up like this one because of Madam Albright’s love affair with war.
I wonder what they’re going to do for Madam Clinton?
WASHINGSTEIN IS A CRIMINAL
CARTEL SINCE THE ROOSEVELTS !
US Mafia, Bidenistas, love people that ‘love’ children. Gov loves to honor those that get off on the murder of women and children. Iraq children murder worth it. Janet Reno killer of women and children in Waco. Another heart felt response of government to its citizens. And then we have the citizens themselves. What did they do? Heads bauble.
And what did we get out of that today…. a politicized FBI harassing and arresting the ‘Hillary Deplorables’.
“Washington loves war criminals?”
It has only makes sense since D.C. is loaded with criminals; from the Oval office to the halls of Congress and every criminally infested government agency.
‘…her own lived experience fleeing Nazi persecution’.
On really? But surely everyone remembers her saying that, having visited Czecholsovakia (during her Bill Clinton era), she was surprised to find that she has Jewish roots. Watching this on TV, my father laughed long and loud, then added ‘Has that fright of a woman never looked in a mirror?’
So take a look at this.

Putin clearly says the Nazis in Kiev and their Western masters. Okay, Putin is being very careful, but any decent in between the lines reader would say he’s calling the West, Nazis, which is what I’ve been says for many months, and we even have YT channels calling the US a fascist state, and they aren’t being blocked!
Here’s a video which touched on just how bankrupt the US Nazi economy is. And as I’ve said many times before, if the US goes tits up, how are they going to repatriate all their militaries from nearly 1000 foreign bases? Because any foreign power outside of NATO, will be demanding gold for payment of any services provided.

There are a few things going for the US elites. One, the US sheeple still believes in the two party system. God only knows why. The US economy is based on the military, and as we know with all banana republics, they always make sure the military are paid, well fed, and get all the drink and drugs they want. Same you the police state.
Maybe Putin has better economic analysis than I do. Of course he does, and this is why we hear many in the US/UK Nazi ragimes and their fake news media, say: ‘We must weaken Russia’, & China, because the US and UK are going to fall off a cliff. CIA and MI6 EU asset leaders are willingly destroying their economies, because they all need to appear as if they’re all in this together.
The UK sheeple are being tortured by less than 6% rates, but if rates were really set to control inflation, they’d be 16% and higher. This would bankrupt the majority of thicko sheeple.
A repulsive ish of a female if ever there was one, who forced the talmudic agenda of the ‘western’ ish mafia worldwide.
Good looking hard working girl…great with children…..and now has a post box named after her..
A credit to her race…
Madelaine discovered she was jewish only after she was appointed Secretary of State. Such nonsense. Her father rose very rapidly upon immigrating to the US, with all sorts of appointments, as he was benefiting from his Jewish connections.
Too bad that more people have not woken up to the fact that that the left and right political wings in our party systems belong to the same vulture, and those in the middle are all controlled by the same head. Even people like Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul in the US are put in to carry on the charade of democracy.
USA is a Zionist Occupied Government.
Jews are criminals who do crimes, and thus Washington DC is a Jewish crime syndicate.
Thus war criminal Jews are elevated to god status.
Washington loves Jews because Jews run Washington.
But of course the author does not say that. What is tiresome is how everyone goes along with this Jew censorship.
To lie through their teeth, is deeply rooted in their genome, they simply cannot exist in honor and decency, it simply will not work and only an absolute retard will insist otherwise.
Why people even bother any more to turn out and vote for this kind of proverbial political trash is beyond me.
It seems like in the UK. The US electorate simply think if a Democrat isn’t good enough. Then a Republican will have to do instead.
Can’t these kind of brainwashed sheeple begin to see that just like in Britain. People think that if the present government like our collapsing Tory one becomes inadequate. Then you should look straight over at the opposition to provide a valid alternative. Only to realize that you’ve been more or less completely duped by the mid terms.
It proves as always in the last half a century. That Politics is no more than elite sponsored double dealing, double standard Punch & Judy Show. Blindly followed by the ignorant masses who don’t have the intellectual capacity to read between the lines!
Wake up America…wake up Britain for heavens sake.
