In what was regarded as a scandalous violation of international law by the US, Trump moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to West Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>This was just the beginning. \u00a0A few days ago on July 1 the Trump regime signed an agreement with Israel to build a US Embassy on stolen Palestinian land in West Jerusalem.\u00a0 The agreement signed by the Trump regime violates Jerusalem\u2019s international legal status as Israeli occupied Palestinian territory, territory impermissible for an occupying power to appropriate.\u00a0 The United Nations, human rights organizations, the Israeli Adalah Legal Center, and almost all governments do not accept Israel\u2019s annexation of West Palestine as its status is enshrined in international law. \u00a0Governments that do not accept international law are rogue states. Thus, the American president has designated the United States as a rogue state to join Israel in this classification. \u00a0Be a Proud American.<\/p>\n<p>The US ambassador to Israel, the despicable Mike Huckabee, made his contribution to legalizing the theft by declaring: \u201cWe are going to plant our flag, our American flag, on the soil of Jerusalem for a permanent and a brand-new embassy compound that will serve as our mothership of diplomatic activities here in Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli Adalah Legal Center criticized Washington for directly endorsing \u201cIsrael\u2019s unlawful mechanisms of dispossession and displacement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The US has been shielding Israel\u2019s crimes through out Israel\u2019s 79-year theft of Palestine and expulsion of Palestinians, speaking all the while about a \u201ctwo-state solution\u201d to cover up the fact of the one-state solution that was emerging. During the Bush and Obama regimes, Washington went further and under the guise of a \u201cwar on terror\u201d destroyed Iraq, Libya, and Syria for the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel, thus removing three of the \u201cseven countries in five years.\u201d\u00a0 Norman Podhoretz, the editor of the Jewish magazine <em>Commentary<\/em>, had called for the US to destroy seven Muslim Middle East countries in five years. \u00a0The Zionist neoconservatives who controlled the George W. Bush and Obama regimes, as well as the current Trump regime, repeated \u00a0the agenda of seven countries in five years. \u00a0Four star general Wesley Clark, commander of US forces in Europe, reported on television that he was apprised of the Zionist agenda by Pentagon generals. \u00a0The whore American media lied to the American people that it was a war on terror against Saddam Hussein\u2019s \u201cweapons of mass destruction,\u201d \u00a0Assad\u2019s \u201cchemical weapons,\u201d just as the whores lie to us that the war against Iran is about \u201cIran\u2019s nuclear weapons.\u201d \u00a0Insouciant Americans are too far removed from reality to have any understanding of how they, their lives, and their money are being used, not for them, but for Israel. \u00a0They are true dumbshits.<\/p>\n<p>The international complaints about Washington helping Israel complete the absorption into Israel of Palestine by building a US Embassy in West Jerusalum are valid but meaningless, as Palestine no longer exists.\u00a0 The Israelis have already announced that all of Gaza is to be incorporated into Israel and have unleashed the \u201cIsraeli settlers\u201d to finish driving Palestinians out of the tiny parcel of the West Bank that remains. \u00a0 With Palestine\u2019s existence over and done with,\u00a0Trump is hard at work bribing and threatening the Lebanese government to use Lebanon\u2019s army to disarm the Hezbollah militia that has repeatedly turned back Israeli\u2019s attempts to begin the absorption of Lebanon into Greater Israel by occupying southern Lebanon.\u00a0 As the task of disarming Hezbollah is beyond Israel\u2019s ability, it is obviously\u00a0 beyond the ability of Lebanon\u2019s official army.\u00a0 Supposedly, a deal is in the works whereby Trump will allocate US troops to the task. Having failed to overthrow Iran for Israel, Trump is making amens to Israel by offering to take on Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s agreement to participate in peace talks might turn out to be the fatal mistake that dooms all Muslims in the Middle East.\u00a0\u00a0Trump is using the \u201cpeace talks\u201d to freeze Iranian military action against Israel and limit support for Hezbollah.\u00a0 If the Israeli-Americans can find a way around Iran\u2019s war-fighting capability, Israeli nibbling away at Lebanon can proceed.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Israel is busy at work absorbing Israeli-occupied Syrian territory.<\/p>\n<p>The world continues to look the other way while the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel moves forward.<\/p>\n<p>Blindness to reality seems to be a special attribute of Americans. Americans are unaware that \u00a0Israel\u2019s bold takeover of the entire US government, aided and abetted by President Trump who is committing high treason against his own country and has completely betrayed his naive MAGA supporters, is moving rapidly forward. \u00a0 The Pentagon\u2019s Defense Intelligence Agency recently again identified Israel as a counterintelligence threat to the United States. \u00a0The response of the Israeli bought-and-paid-for US president and Congress is to use the 2027 US National Defense authorization Act to destroy the sovereignty of the United States by integrating the Israeli government into America\u2019s executive, military, technological, intelligence and research institutions, thereby giving Israel far more control over US government policies than the American people have. \u00a0This is going on right now as we celebrate our independence from England while gaining a far more dreadful master.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat member of the House who was redistricted out of his seat by his own party<em> because he could not be relied on to vote against his constituents\u2019 interest on every vote, <\/em>describes the surrender of American sovereignty to Israel: <a href=\"https:\/\/trendsinthenews.substack.com\/p\/kucinich-congress-preparing-to-surrender?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=811472&amp;post_id=205017979&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=hh3f5&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email\">https:\/\/trendsinthenews.substack.com\/p\/kucinich-congress-preparing-to-surrender?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=811472&amp;post_id=205017979&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=hh3f5&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See also: \u201cNew Bipartisan Bill Seeks to Outlaw Criticism of Israel and Jewish Power,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/estriker\/new-bipartisan-bill-seeks-to-outlaw-criticism-of-israel-and-jewish-power\/\">https:\/\/www.unz.com\/estriker\/new-bipartisan-bill-seeks-to-outlaw-criticism-of-israel-and-jewish-power\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Americans, most of them, are not sufficiently intelligent, knowledgable, or aware to realize that they are a captive people. \u00a0They are captives of Israel, of the MAGA delusion, of \u00a0the military-security complex, the agri-business industry, Big Pharma, the digital revolution which has them sitting there stupidly scrolling their cell phones while their independence shrivels away unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>White ethnics are demonized as racists and anti-semites and are being reduced to legal inferiority.
