The other day the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ran a story on the sharks of the Red Sea. It reminded me of an article I started writing some time ago but left unfinished because a few other matters were developing at a fast rate and I felt compelled to devote my attention to them. I have now completed that article and here it is.
They cooked their goose but this was the goose that used to lay the golden egg for them. Now they are out of a goose and out of eggs -- golden or otherwise. Yes, the Israelis are literally running out of milk to make cheese which is their favorite dish or to make anything else they can eat. And America that used to be their goose of the golden egg has been so impoverished, it can no longer feed its own people let alone feed them. All this happened because they cooked America to a crisp and ate it to the last morsel with the help of an American Congress that is no smarter than a goose or any other bird. Endowed with a collective power of the brain that is too small to measure on any scale, the men and women of the congressional coop quacked their way into infamy while serving Israel for several decades and neglecting their own people. The last that they did in this regard was to send Israel some 200 million dollars under the false pretense of deploying a system of defense that everyone knew was a joke. While the thing never worked because it was never deployed, the money was used to buy food from Israel's neighbors; enough of it to feed Israel for a few weeks and no more. Now the Israelis have no cheese on which to feed and little else for that matter.
So then, what do they do? If they knew of a better way to feed themselves, they would have done it a long time ago. Instead, they spent thousands of years developing the skills they needed to feed on the food they stole from their neighbors. And all they can do in modern times where stealing from the neighbors is becoming an increasingly difficult proposition, is that they con America and try to con the rest of the world. They had little success conning the world but they conned America till they fleeced it clean. And so the captains of the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine are now using their talent to con their own people the way they conned America. In fact, the Israeli media are repeating to their people the fake stories they have been telling the American people and the rest of the world. They are telling the people of Israel how great their country is and how much its neighbors believe so too.
To give an example of what they used to do to con America and fleece it, let me tell you a few stories. Perhaps modeling themselves after the French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes who said: “I think therefore I am,” they said to their American audiences: “They talk about us therefore we exist.” In fact, everywhere you looked during the 1967 war and after it, the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine defined Israel by what it falsely attributed to its neighbors. As far as I can tell, this trend started during the war when an Israeli general took an American reporter to the Syrian border to show her how the war was proceeding. While speaking to her, a fly landed on his nose and he waved it away but the fly had other ideas; it kept coming back to land on his face again and again. Finally, the general threw his hands up in the air and solemnly asserted to the camera that this was a Syrian fly and not an Israeli one. It sounded like he meant to say this was a Syrian secret weapon designed to prevent the Israelis from telling their story to the Americans.
After the so-called six-day war that turned out to be not a war but the first battle in a war that lasted six years, the Israelis began to panic having done something foolish they knew they could not maintain without sustaining heavy losses while the situation suited the neighbors just fine. To stay on their feet and maintain their composure, the Israelis needed massive help from the outside in the form of two sorts of inflow. They needed an inflow of Jewish immigrants into Israel to enlarge their army of occupation and they needed an inflow of money to buy food, weapons and ammunition. First, they looked to the Jews of Russia from where they were able to “collect a few warm bodies” then they turned to the Jews of Ethiopia from where they collected a few more bodies.
As to the money, the Israelis and their cohorts discovered after a period of trial and error that they could get it from the wealthy Jews living abroad and from the American Congress of idiots by creating false situations full of ambiguity. The approach they devised was based on two contradictory arguments that they advanced simultaneously. The first argument was to the effect that Israel was in existential danger therefore the nation needed help in a big way; needed the help right now and will need it for a long time to come. The second argument was to the effect that investing in Israel was a safe bet because the Jewish nation was in no danger at all contrary to the predictions that were made by the speculators who choose to see things differently.
All the while, the Syrians were preparing to launch a counter attack in an effort to take back the Golan Heights, succeeding in effect to regain half of it in 1973. As to the Egyptians, they were engaged in a war of attrition between 1967 and 1973, something that gave the Jewish propaganda machine a reason to solicit more money from the wealthy Jews abroad and more help from the American Congress of you know what. Even then, Israel's losses were so great and the need for help was so urgent that the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine needed something else to keep it going. To this end, it fabricated false stories about the activities of the Palestinian people it was maintaining under occupation in Gaza and the West bank of the Jordan River. Thus, during the war of attrition and even after the Egyptians had smashed the Bar Lev line and booted the Israelis out of the Sinai, the Israelis and their American cohorts were painting the Palestinians as an evil people that did not deserve to regain the properties that the Jewish throngs had stolen from them and were still doing it.
Indeed, the picture that was painted even before the practice of suicide bombing was imported into the Middle East from Sri Lanka where Israel was arming both sides in the civil war over there, the Jewish propaganda machine was inventing stories about the Palestinians strapping dogs with bombs and training them to go detonate the bombs into crowded Jewish places. Also, during the Gulf war, stories emerged about real seals being trained by the Iranian navy to detonate mines in the Persian Gulf and sink oil tankers. And right after the war during which Saddam Hussein was accused of producing poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction, stories emerged to the effect that the Palestinians were raising pigeons and other birds to carry poisoned gas and drop them on Israeli cities. This sort of stories used to be put out on a regular basis by the Jewish propaganda machine to the point that people in America became so fatigued, they ignore them. And so did the people of Israel who began to wonder what the hell they were doing in the God forsaken place they call Israel, and so they started to emigrate out of there in droves.
Then guess what happened to keep these people in Israel. To reassure them that things were better than they appear, the internal propaganda machine did something close to what can be viewed as reverse psychology but may be called something else; I don't know what. The infamous machine put the shoe on the other foot, so to speak. It said, in effect, that because the neighbors accuse us of doing things we do not do, it proves that we are important in their eyes which makes it that we should also regard ourselves as being important and be proud of that. And what did the machine say the neighbors were accusing Israel of doing? Let me give you an example of what happened not long ago. But to understand the story in depth, we first need to know something about Egypt's geography and demography.
Almost the entire population of Egypt resides along the Nile in 28 provinces, flanked by a desert on the East and a desert on the West. Some provinces were newly created and they now occupy huge areas in the desert while others are old and they are entirely made of one mega-city such as Cairo. The Sinai Peninsula, like the Easter and the Western deserts was maintained in a state of underdevelopment as long as the population of the country did not need to expand into new areas. But when the population began to grow large, new provinces were created everywhere except in the Sinai because Egypt was in a state of war with Israel and the expectation was that Israel was going to attack in there once again. This eventuality became real to the Egyptians after the experience of the tripartite aggression of 1956 during which the old colonial powers of Britain and France brought the Israelis along to show them how to attack Egypt and become a pain in the ass of humanity – as if they needed someone to show them how to be that kind of pain.
After the war of 1973 and the signing of a peace treaty with Israel, the Egyptians started to populate the Sinai with people who left the comfort of the Nile Valley to put roots where only the Bedouins used to roam. But to this day, the Peninsula still remains largely a deserted area. It is made of two provinces, the Northern one whose economy relies on fishing, a little tourism, some agriculture, mining and light industry. And there is the Southern province whose economy relies almost entirely on tourism. Although there are plans to populate the Sinai with millions of people, the entire place does not now boast more than half a million permanent residents with a few transients who go there to work in the tourism industry and return to the Valley after making a nest egg on which to build for a better future. Each province has its own governor -- a title that may sound impressive to you and me -- but the man or woman would be governing like a mayor over a population that does not exceed that of a medium sized town situated in the middle of nowhere.
What happened a few months ago in the Southern Sinai province was that a shark attacked a tourist and killed her. During a telephone talk show that featured the governor/mayor of the province, a worker in the tourism industry that was worried about losing his job asked him if Israel might have had something to do with the incident to hurt the industry that is putting food on his table. Considering the talk that was generated by the Israeli propaganda machine with regard to the use of animals in the conduct of modern warfare, the governor replied that he had no idea what was going on but that he would look into the matter – the typical response of a small time politician ducking a question. But this reply was enough for the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine to take up the case, spin the incident in the local carousel of fantastic propaganda to impress the people of Israel, and spin it among the echo repeaters of the North American sheepish media characters to impress us here in North America.
We were told that the Egyptians (meaning 80 million of them and their government) believe that Israel had trained sharks to go and kill tourists at the Sinai resort areas in order to “wreck the Egyptian economy”. Well, you do not need to be a Sigmund Freud to know that when someone puts out a lie of this magnitude, he does not simply express a fantasy, he expresses a deep seated desire. And the desire here is to have the clout to wreck or at least threaten to wreck Egypt. The Israelis and their North American cohorts regularly develop this sort of thoughts when they fail to impress the Egyptians with statements like those of the moronic foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman who warns that Israel has the means to blow up the Aswan dam and thus destroy all of Egypt in one fell swoop like the Israelites used to do in the stories of the ancient Hebrew mythology.
But suppose they could do something like this by some unexplained miracle, would they not be killing the other goose that can still lay an egg for them – be it of gold or made of protein? The Israelis may not be suckering the Egyptians the way they have suckered the Americans, but Egypt is where they now buy their food at a cheap price and get their fuel at a dirt cheap price. Take Egypt out of the picture, and Israel will not have the means to feed its people on the droppings of a goose. They will have to beg for that.
These people are raving mad and they need someone to help save them from themselves. Any volunteer out there?
