Unfortunately I had a tight connection at LAX, which became even tighter when US Customs and Border Protection singled me out for interrogation. It seems that interesting stuff always pops up on government screens when they enter my name. How else would they know that I am a writer known for questioning the official story of 9\/11? \u201cSo who did it?\u201d the agent asked. \u201cIsrael,\u201d I answered without hesitation.<\/p>\n<p>A split second later, I was cursing myself for my impulsive honesty, brought on by sleeplessness and jet lag: \u201cIf that CPB agent is a Zionist, they\u2019ll hold me for hours and I\u2019ll never make my connection!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately the agent took no offense and released me just in time to catch my flight. Apparently America isn\u2019t a complete Zionist-occupied totalitarian hellhole yet.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u2019re getting there. A sign of the times was Israeli PM Netanyahu\u2019s speech to Congress July 24. The good news is that 92 lawmakers boycotted the genocidal war criminal\u2019s speech. The bad news is that the other 443 senators and representatives offered repeated standing ovations.<\/p>\n<p>Why did more than 4\/5ths of America\u2019s lawmakers passionately salute the worst war criminal of the 21st century? Why the nauseatingly obsequious demonstration of loyalty to a genocidal foreign entity? It all comes down to what is euphemistically called the US-Israel \u201cspecial relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what exactly is the nature of that special relationship? There are plenty of available answers: A Google search of \u201cUS-Israel special relationship\u201d yields 240 million results. The first thing Google tells us is that:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cIsrael and the United States are bound closely by historic and cultural ties as well as by mutual interests. The U.S.-Israel bilateral relationship is strong, anchored by over $3 billion in Foreign Military Financing annually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It sounds vaguely upbeat and completely innocuous\u2014at least until we ask ourselves about the precise nature of those \u201chistoric and cultural ties\u201d and alleged \u201cmutual interests.\u201d The <em>historic ties <\/em>that will never be mentioned by Establishment sources include the following: Zionist bankers seized monetary control of the US by creating the Federal Reserve in 1913. Zionists used their money power to gradually buy up the lion\u2019s share of America\u2019s mainstream media, which they now completely dominate. Zionists likely helped foment Communist revolutions and the 20th century\u2019s two world wars. Zionists tried to kill president Harry Truman with a letter bomb, and later succeeded in killing John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. Zionists placed their asset Lyndon Johnson in the White House to enable their war of aggression and land grab in 1967. Zionists repeatedly sabotaged American presidents\u2019 peace plans by all sorts of dubious means, from helping make Jimmy Carter a one-term president in 1980, to plotting to assassinate Bush Sr. in Madrid in 1992, to sending Monika Lewinksy into Clinton\u2019s White House in 1995 and recording their antics. A few years later, Israel blew up the World Trade Center to hijack America\u2019s military and use it against their enemies.<\/p>\n<p>So much for historic ties. So what about those <em>mutual interests <\/em>tying the US to Israel? It is obviously in Israel\u2019s interest to continue syphoning off American taxpayers\u2019 money. According to the Christian Science Monitor, Israel\u2019s real cost to America was already $1.6 trillion by 2002. But what is the US getting in exchange? Not much, other than the enmity of virtually the entire population of West Asia and the Muslim world, the disgust of the Global South, and an emerging worldwide consensus that the US is an illegitimate, genocide-supporting superpower that should be replaced by China.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has never fought in any of America\u2019s wars in the region. What\u2019s more, those wars would never have happened without America\u2019s enslavement to Israel. Without Israel, the whole region would be happy to maintain friendly relations with the US. Americans have the blood of millions on their hands due to wars by and for the Israel lobby.<\/p>\n<p>Today, as the genocide of Gaza continues with US support, more and more foreign policy experts, like Jon Hoffman in <em>Time Magazine<\/em>, are questioning the \u201cspecial relationship.\u201d Hoffman writes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a joint session of Congress Washington must finally face reality: its emphatic embrace of Israel\u2019s war in Gaza is not advancing U.S. interests or promoting regional stability\u2014to say nothing of the immense human toll&#8230;Washington needs to end its bipartisan blank-check support for Israel and extricate itself from this tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>Fine words. But US support for Israel isn\u2019t just a random blunder. It\u2019s the product of a multigenerational Jewish-Zionist hostile takeover of America\u2019s commanding heights. To remedy the situation, those commanding heights will need to be stormed and re-taken.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>You\u2019re currently a free subscriber to Kevin\u2019s Newsletter.
