Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review June 15, 2024
Back in September 2017 I wrote an article for the Unz Review site entitled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” with the subtitle “Shouldn’t they recuse themselves when dealing with the Middle East?” The article focused on the fact that most of the individuals and groups in the US that were agitating for war with Iran in particular were Jewish and most did not hide their loyalty to Israel, headed then as now by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I argued that it was a mistake to have Jews managing America’s relationships in the Middle East in particular as some of them certainly would experience a conflict of interest that would inevitably not be beneficial to the United States. And, one might add, that in spite of that tie that binds with a foreign government, no pro-Israel group has ever been compelled to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 which would provide some transparency on finances and concerning direct contacts with the Israeli government or its Embassy in Washington. The end result of all that is to make it extremely easy to use money, which the Zionist billionaires have in abundance, to corrupt the US government process on behalf of an apartheid state that is no ally in reality and does not have values that fit well with what was once American democracy.
If measured by comments received on it on the Unz site, the article on the ethnic advocacy promoting America’s Wars turned out to be the most popular that I have ever written and it was picked up widely online and in various publications both in the US and abroad. Inevitably, however, it produced a backlash from Israel’s many friends and within 24 hours there was added an update to the original online posting. It read “On the morning of September 21st Phil Giraldi was fired over the phone by The American Conservative, where he had been a regular contributor for fourteen years. He was told that ‘America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars’ was unacceptable. The TAC management and board appear to have forgotten that the magazine was launched with an article by founder Pat Buchanan entitled “Whose War?” which largely made the same claims that Giraldi made about the Jewish push for another war, in that case with Iraq. Buchanan was vilified and denounced as an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now similarly attacking Giraldi.”
The TAC malignancy who did the actual firing was particularly miffed by my assertion in the article that prominent Jews, like Bill Kristol, who appear regularly on television to advocate hardlines against Iran and others while articulating a “threat to America” when they are actually acting on behalf of Israel should appear above a label that reads something like “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” I added that it would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison – translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”
Indeed, it is the wealthy and influential beyond belief Jewish diaspora and its non-stop lying and corruption that sustains the fictitious narrative of Israel as a “land without people for a people without a land.” Australian journalist Caitlin Johnstone observes that “Everything about Israel is fake. It’s a completely synthetic nation created without any regard for the organic sociopolitical movements of the land and its people, slapped rootless atop an ancient pre-existing civilization with deep roots. That’s why it cannot exist without being artificially propped up by nonstop propaganda, lobbying, online influence operations, and mass military violence.”
My point in revisiting the past is that seven years ago one would never have imagined the control that the Jewish Lobby has since obtained over the US foreign policy as well as over many domestic policies largely thanks to the alarmingly pro-Israel measures that have been advanced by an ignorant and reckless Donald Trump followed by the totally mindless and heedless Joe Biden. Biden has a majority of Jews occupying senior positions in his administration and it is fair to say that Jews are at the controls for Middle Eastern policy as well as what is playing out in Ukraine. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is little more than a spokesman and advocate for Israel as he made clear when he arrived in Israel after the Hamas attack and announced that “I come before you as a Jew…” and followed that up with his family holocaust history, though he failed to mention that his stepfather worked for Robert Maxwell, a leading Israeli spy. And let’s not forget about Congress, where pro-Israel fanatics have taken complete control (with the sole exception of Tom Massie) of the Republican Party. This control is exercised through over the top political donations and favorable media coverage dependent on one’s supportive view of Israel. A story is currently circulating indicating that Miriam Adelson, Israel-born heiress to the Sheldon Adelson multi-billion dollar casino fortune, has offered Trump $100 million as a political campaign contribution if he will promise to enable Israeli annexation of all of historic Palestine after he wins the November election.
Some congressmen have revealed that when they first surfaced as political candidates a representative of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) would casually drop by and determine their viewpoint on the Middle East. In some cases, would-be legislators would be asked to sign a statement pledging full and uncritical support of Israel no matter what it does. And we have recently learned that Israel runs major secret intelligence operations using fake personas on social media spreading pro-Israeli stories to influence decision making and maintain control of the US government. Beyond that, according to Massie, who told Tucker Carlson, every Republican in Congress besides himself “has an AIPAC person” assigned to them with whom they are in constant communication, whom he describes as functioning “like your babysitter” to make sure that no one hesitates when it comes to policies impacting on Israel. One assumes that this consists of AIPAC or Anti-Defamation League (ADL) provided interns who spy on the officials lest they deviate from their pledged loyalty to the Jewish state. I would call such activity foreign espionage connected to incitement to commit treason that should be exposed like the rat poison metaphor cited above. These monsters promoting a foreign country’s interests are not really our friends and are not out to do anything beneficial for the American people.
Support for Israel in the media is also contrived and essentially phony, going beyond slanting stories and ignoring the Palestinians. It is generally and imposed from the top down. Since October outlets like The New York Times, CNN and CBC have been denounced through staff leaks regarding demands from their top executives, who are often Jewish, that they slant their Gaza coverage to support the narratives favored by Israel. There have been resignations in government over the Israeli genocide being supported by Biden and Briahna Joy Gray has just been fired by The Hill for mildly criticizing Israel while co-hosting the show “Rising”, a fate that every media employees must understand lest they share Gray’s fate if they are insufficiently supportive of the Zionist entity. Israel’s support from Hollywood and other celebrities is similarly forced. A Hollywood marketing firm has had to explain a newly leaked email that instructed the firm’s employees to “pause on working with any celebrity or influencer or tastemaker posting against Israel.”
Other new developments on the Israel front that have emerged in the past seven years include the attacks on freedom of speech and association, the development of pro-Israel legislation at state and local levels which deny government benefits and jobs to citizens who support peaceful boycotts of Israel, and the ultimate abomination the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which is seeking to criminalize any criticism of the Jewish state. The Act is just one aspect of how the power of organized Jewish groups over the government and media is shaping the kind of society that Americans will be living in in the near future. It will be a society devoid of several fundamental constitutional rights, like free speech, due to deference to the preferences of one tiny demographic.
Upcoming elections have also been targeted by the “Lobby,” with Jewish groups raising hundreds of millions of dollars to carry out attacks on candidates considered to be anti-Israeli. The Zionist inspired heavy hand of government and of America’s educational institutions has also been observed recently in the arrests and other punishments to include blocking of employment opportunities and canceling degrees to students protesting against the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians. Jewish counter-protesters, sometimes violent as in the recent case of UCLA, are as a rule not punished and their student groups are untouched while pro-Palestinians groups are banned from campus.
Sometimes the leaning over backwards to please the Israelis is completely ridiculous. Congress is currently seeking to pass a bill that would punish the Maldives for blocking travel to the islands for Israeli passport holders while the war in Gaza continues. US Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey is leading efforts to pressure the government of the Indian Ocean tourist hotspot. Gottheimer, known to be one of Congress’s most aggressive Israel firsters, is seeking bipartisan support in developing the legislation which will be called the Protecting Allied Travel Here (PATH) Act. The legislation could block any US aid or assistance to the Maldives until Israelis again have permission to visit the country. Gottheimer argued that “taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be sent to a foreign nation that has banned all Israeli citizens – one of our greatest democratic allies.” He also added predictably that the Maldivean move was “antisemitic”.
So, in my humble opinion we have been increasingly getting screwed relentlessly by Israel in spite of much of the punishment taking place out in the open, but the hapless wretches in Congress are too weak and terrified by the Jewish lobby to do anything about it. And now we have war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu showing up at the end of July for another round of pandering and groveling plus cheering and bowing by the Joint Session of that very same Congress that has done so much to give Bibi and tools and money enabling him to kill 35,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and counting. It is a disgrace and when the world sits back and reckons what has happened and determines who is to blame the chickens will inevitably come home to roost. America the Pariah. It almost rhymes.

The good part, Phil, is to repeat for all the world as often as you can that every US politician of note has a handler assigned to she/he/it. They don’t belong to their country, their constituents, or Congress. They are effectively no more than bots for Hasbara.
My only quibble is your title, Phil: How can Israel’s control get “stronger”?
What’s stronger than total?
This is your best article yet. Thanks for exposing the truth.
Apologies to Maldiveans but your island is preferable to Madagascar – and they do wish to democratically visit – so why not all?
Apologies to Maldiveans, but Madagascar being no longer required: – why should not these people be allowed democratically ( of course ) be allowed to visit you – all of them?
Call it multiculturalism!
If you haven’t figured it out yet, the US has morphed into USrael.
Freemasons ARE “Jews”. Freemasons are the “keepers” of Gnosticism, or “hidden knowledge”. “….. Ye shall NOT die! Ye shall be as gods, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL” and “Ye are of your father, the devil! Ye wish to do HIS desires” again “he is a liar and a murderer from his beginning”. Satan the Devil being “what he shall be” from the interpolation in Exodus, also called the Tetragrammaton (regardless of using an I, Y or J, a W, V or a U when spelling it). These Masonic stooges are just useful idiots and don’t even “know” that! Greedy, ignorant petulant children of Jove who get off on sacrificing the innocent as the Synoptic book of Matthew says “just one act of worship” and they inherit “all the kingdoms of the world and their glory”. Jesus LIVES!!!!!
An excellent and infuriating piece here overall from Giraldi. Any Amricunt citizen outraged, which should be most of them, over the glaring treason and shameful supplication should be moved to march on that demonic festering sewer known as Washingstein and slaughter everyone in sight.
One of the things I disagree with Giraldi about was his assertion that, “seven years ago one would never have imagined the control that the Jewish Lobby has since obtained over the US foreign policy as well as over many domestic policies”. The Jewish Lobby has clearly had full control of JewSSA foreign policy for decades, certainly a complete stranglehold on it since the false flag mass murder, psy-op for gullible imbeciles, and treason of 9/11.
“Biden has a majority of Jews occupying senior positions in his administration…” … Which explains a lot about what an outrageous dumpster fire this ill-bred administration has been since day one. Anytime and EVERY time Jews occupy senior positions in any organizations, expect a whole lot of robbery, rape, murder, and wholesale destruction to follow, chaos to be sown, and degradation to run rampant. Every time.
“Some congressmen have revealed that when they first surfaced as political candidates a representative of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) would casually drop by and determine their viewpoint on the Middle East. In some cases, would-be legislators would be asked to sign a statement pledging full and uncritical support of Israel no matter what it does.” … Signing that document is treason, unequivocally, and that congresscunt AND the AIPAC shit-stain should be immediately taken outside and executed in front of the building.
“Miriam Adelson, Israel-born heiress to the Sheldon Adelson multi-billion dollar casino fortune, has offered Trump $100 million as a political campaign contribution” … Miriam Adelson should be arrested, dragged through the streets by her ankles, the publicly disemboweled and strangled with her own intestines. Trump deserves even harsher punishment than that if he took the money. And you KNOW that scumbag took the money.
The governments of our cuntries have been completely subverted and overthrown, and replaced by cartels controlled by a demonic force overtly hostile to the actual interests of the overwhelming majority of the citizens. Any non-Jew who states “I stand with Israel” is your mortal enemy as they are either far too dangerously stupid to remain free in a semi-civilized society or a demonic agent of treachery and treason. There is no other possible option with that. And any Jew who states “I stand with Israel” should be hanged on the spot.
THE POLES SAY “ENOUGH!!!” “Fuck off ZOG USA! Fuck off ZOG UK! Fuck off NATO! Fuck off LGBTQ!! Fuck off all Globalists!!!
The Globalist-ZOG media condemns Grzegorz Braun for his pro-Polish, pro-Christian, pro-life, anti-American, anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-Jewish positions, but the Poles just gave him a record thumbs up in an overwhelming election victory.

M I P A – Make Israel Palestine Again
cut thru all the kike crap – they are TRAITORS!
as in the British history, they must be incarcerated, then publicly hung, drawn & quartered.
All their immediate family exiled indefinitely, or executed as complicit or beneficial.
There is only one war – the presently corrupt elite versus the nations people.
is that kike sign for real??
I thought it was a joke…ffs!

My comments on same article here:
https://www.unz.com/comments/all/?commenterfilter=Yukon+Jack
Message to Americans: Is your loyalty to America or Israel? It can’t be both. You are a traitor if you answer “Israel.”
They’re plotting now I suppose another Pearl-Harbor- or 911-type event to start World War III with Russia. I suppose we’re just a few months away from the execution of this.
As Umbra Bellator has stated (and myself as well): The only war that Americans should fight is the one that must be fought right here in America: The war against the traitors who have put other considerations ahead of those of our country!
Start from the top and work your way down…these Congress scum are despicable!!! There are very, very few loyal Americans in high positions anymore…they’re all scum!!!
@hannah
Great list!
A good article worth bookmarking.

Ms. Johnstone is one of the few remaining truthers, who are sounding the alarm of Magog invading countries worldwide and the truth about Israel, the Illuminati pet project to conquer the world for Jewry. It is not about any Biblical purpose, although it head, Gog, the modern day Pharisees, the money changers who falsely claim to be ancestors of the ancient Judaen Hebrews (Judah, Levi and Benjamin).
The following is stated in the book, The Controversy of Zion (1978) by Douglas Reed:
Chapter 21, The Warnings of Disraeli, pp. 165-
Disraeli, a Jew who became a Christian, was a true UK statesman and patriot. Since his departure 143 years ago, not many since have followed in his footsteps, maybe with the exception of across the pond, Benjamin Harrison Freedman (1890-1984), who also a Jew converted to Christianity, attempted to warn the American public of the KM menace.
Wikipedia has been compromised (By Deception Thou Shalt Do War), calling him without true justification “anti-Semitic”.
The following is stated of Freedman from the book Bloody Zion, Refuting the Jewish Fables That Sustain Israel’s War Against God and Man (2012) by Edward Hendrie, Chapter 20, Zionist Nazis:
63 years later, with the US, EU and UK Commonwealth calling for reinstatement of conscription (draft to those in US), Freedman’s warnings ring true to the ear.
For the land is full of adulterers; For the land mourns because of the curse. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course also is evil And their might is not right. … “Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone forth in wrath, Even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked. “The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; In the last days you will clearly understand it. Jeremiah 23:10,19-20 (Jewish Publication Society)
