Marshall McLuhan’s global village is a reality. <BR/><BR/>I maintain a humble weblog on livejournal.com. My URL:<BR/><BR/>http://new-york-loner.livejournal.com/<BR/><BR/>My views concerning the US/Israeli relationship are not generally popular, here in the states. <BR/>I delight in debunking and refuting the popular myths that underpin the unnatural US/Israeli relationship. <BR/>To use a popular expression, I refuse to “drink the AIPAC Kool-Aid”.<BR/><BR/>For whatever reason(s), the mainstream US media have barely mentioned Israel’s ethnic, strategic and financial interests in the Caucasus and it’s military sales and related support for the Georgian government. One must read the Israeli and the official Jewish publications in order to glean some of the relevant facts. <BR/><BR/>Certainly, the Israelis have good reason to maintain a very low profile at this time. If the American public was made aware of the fact that Israeli special interests were fashioning US policy in the Caucasus region, concerned citizens might start to ask questions. <BR/><BR/>It is my contention that the US federal government has become fundamentally beholden to the special <BR/>interests, as opposed to the public interest. The War Lobby is, by far, the most influential special interest group in Washington, DC.<BR/><BR/>The War Lobby, by my definition, consists of an unofficial consortium of the Defense lobby, the Israel lobby and the Energy lobby (mnemonic acronym = DIE). The mutual interests of these three powerful forces overlay and complement each other in the Middle East and in Eurasia.<BR/><BR/>The burning question remains - Will George W. Bush give the Israelis the green light for a strike on Iran, during the “Lame Duck” period, between Nov 4th and Jan. 20th? <BR/><BR/>I believe that Bush/Cheney are certainly capable of rationalizing more irresponsible and unprecedented moves on behalf of the War Lobby. Those guys are still on a mission. <BR/><BR/>Bush is now upping the ante in the Black Sea, as the Cold War suddenly returns from the dead. It’s all quite bizarre. <BR/><BR/>All this dangerous sabre -rattling may be part of a delusional neocon scheme to keep the pliant Republicans in power; Senator McCain seems to be the beneficiary of the bad news and he is a proven submissive. <BR/><BR/>If Barack Obama wins the election, the War Lobby may get a little nervous and hit the panic button during Bush’s “mad duck” period. <BR/><BR/>I am hoping that cooler heads will prevail, but I’m not optimistic at this point in time.<BR/><BR/>I am impressed with your site and your insightful comments, Damian. <BR/><BR/>Please visit my site and comment.<BR/><BR/>new_york_lonerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-61412927944358679292008-08-28T21:56:00.000+09:302008-08-28T21:56:00.000+09:30Excellent post as usual.

Obviously they wanted to provoke Russia but WHY? Who benefits the most? <BR/>Interesting times indeed.petkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359288481764467912noreply@blogger.com
