The one thing you
can be certain of when it comes to the editors of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ)
is that they will betray themselves trying to show their moral superiority by
putting on a magnificent display of moral degradation instead. This is
happening now because the current editors inherited the mantle of an older
generation; one that was advising the American government with a sound
editorial policy, and was respected for it as it minded the business of the
business community.
But now that the
Journal has fallen into the hands of the fifth columnists who were fielded by
World Jewry, the sound editorial policy of a bygone era has transformed into a
relentless and discordant symphony urging the American government to immolate
its own people, and to blow up its own finances on the altar of Israel's
interests and those of Jews everywhere in the world.
Fooled by the
erroneous belief that they still enjoy the respect of the nation and that of
the world, the current editors of the WSJ go about the business of discussing
their political ideas with the certainty of a scientist whose theory has just
been proven correct by experiment. You can see the full display of this
mentality in their latest editorial, published on October 23, 2013 under the
title: “Our Former Friends the Saudis” and the subtitle: “So how is that vow to
repair America 's
frayed alliances working out?”
But the truth is
that the current generation of editors never referred to the Saudis as friends
of the United States ,
yet here they are now referring to them as former friends. It is a replica of
the performance which they and others like them put on with Mubarak of Egypt
whom they treated like an enemy and badmouthed from here to eternity while he
was in power. But when he was toppled, they mourned the passing of his regime,
and cried out that he was an ally, and the best friend that Israel and the Jews ever had in the Middle East .
And so, instead of
running to the rooftop of the building to beat their breasts like apes angry at
themselves while shouting WE WAS WRONG for the whole world to see and hear,
they try to make of the current development a symphony about President Obama
whom they say “likes to boast that he has repaired U.S. alliances” to which
they add the smart-ass remark: “He should try using that line with our former
allies in Saudi Arabia.”
And that, my friend,
would be their way to signal that they were correct in treating Mubarak and the
Saudis like enemies in the past, and in speaking of them as former friends now.
No doubt, the editors of the Journal believe that this is a display of moral
superiority in the best of the Jewish tradition, and no doubt they are proud of
it. They may even be secretly beating their breasts in triumph like apes who
feel they have been vindicated.
And then, instead of
taking up the whole subject of America 's
relationships with the nations of the Middle East to review the way that they
have developed over the decades, the editors zero in on a single report filed
from Riyadh by
their own Ellen Knickmeyer. And they argue that the Saudis are “disgusted” at America
because of one and only one policy decision that was made by guess who – the
Obama Administration, of course.
It is that nothing
matters to these people as when they work for Israel and when they put down their
own American President. Maybe they will call him a former friend after he
leaves office but for now he is no better in their eyes than Mubarak was while
in power, and the Saudis were before they spoke of their disgust.
And so, the editors
of the Wall Street Journal go on to discuss that one policy decision – the one
that has to do with Syria ,
and by extension Iran – not
from a point of view that would serve the interests of America but a view that is meant to serve the
interests of Israel .
And of course, by
taking this approach, they presume that Israel
has been the only good friend America
had, and that the Jews have been the only good advisers that America
listened to. And they presume that such remains true today as it was in the
past.
However, many
Americans are now saying to that whole notion: With friends and advisers like
these, who needs enemies or a fifth column to sabotage the nation from within
and from without.
