There is an old saying which goes something like this: “When
God decides to destroy someone, he first renders them mad.” If you look at the
situation in America
today, you'll find that it applies on the dot to the self appointed leaders of
the Jews who are losing the allegiance of their rank and file in droves, and
are going bananas.
One of those going really mad is Lee Smith who wrote “A
World Unmoored,” an article published on April 18, 2016 in the Weekly Standard.
Smith begins his presentation by saying that Secretary of State John “Kerry
hearts Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Iranian minister … Kerry has a man crush on
his Iranian counterpart.” And why is that? Because “Kerry reportedly speaks to
Zarif on the phone regularly.” That is, Kerry is doing jaw-jaw instead of
war-war, says Smith – and this must be love (or is it luv?) not politics or
diplomacy.
If you are old enough to remember the time during the 1960s
when all the talk was about sexual politics, you'll be tempted to put today's
events in that context. So you ask why John Kerry is talking to Javad Zarif as
often as he does, and Lee Smith provides the answer: “That's a good thing, says
Kerry, because it means there's now a channel open to discuss issues between
the two countries”.
Okay, you say, and you contrast that reality with the never
ending talk in America and Israel about the exceptionally close
relationship that is said to exist between America
and Israel .
To wit, you remember the time when the Jewish leaders in America and the Israeli operatives everywhere
else lured President Obama into visiting Israel
with the promise that the move will beget a peace treaty between Israel
and the Palestinians.
Obama took the bait, visited Israel in good faith, and had what
was described as a love-in with Netanyahu and his party. But no peace treaty
was begotten, an outcome that was predicted by those who know the Jews inside
out. So the question we pose to Lee Smith is the following: What do you call
that, Lee? Was it luv or was it the seductive promise of a dick-teaser?
Perhaps Smith had realized this much by the time he got thus
far writing the article. We make this assumption because he shifted the imagery
from sexual politics to this: “Why Kerry boasts of this dubious achievement is
partly a function of his vanity.” He now says it is vanity not love, and goes
on to make the scenario a little more complicated. It's not only one man, he
says, it's two of them: “The pictures of Kerry laughing with Zarif as well as
his opposite number in Moscow, Sergey Lavrov, are evidence of something gone
wrong in Washington”.
But why all this vitriol, you want to know? Two reasons,
says Lee Smith. First, “the Iranians threaten America 's
chief Middle East ally, Israel ,
while the Russians are trying to drag another U.S.
partner, Turkey ,
into conflict.” Second, he explains that: “Kerry is off the reservation, but
it's the president who is giving Iran concession after concession.”
And there is a dark reason for that, he explains. It is that Obama is doing
worse than appeasement, “it's an Obama reeducation program”.
It is that bad, huh? Bad? We are told it is bad? What's bad?
What the hell does it all mean, anyway? Good set of questions, says Lee Smith.
And he answers them. He says that Obama is “correcting American foreign policy
by changing a mindset 'characterized by a preference for military action over
diplomacy' … He believes he freed himself from the 'Washington playbook' [that's] out of the
foreign policy establishment prescrib[ing] military responses,” and only that.
Wow, no more military responses, says Obama. It is back to
the Sixties. It is peace and love (luv) again where flower power will defeat
the mighty gun. Will Lee Smith be asked to tiptoe on the tulips?
He must fear this will happen because Obama believes that
“decades of American thinking were wrong.” No, says Smith, that's false and he
explains why: “The purpose of America 's
post-WWII foreign policy was to ensure a degree of stability abroad.” But how
was this to be achieved? By dividing the world into two camps, says Smith:
“These are our allies, and these are our adversaries”. And he warns:
“dismantling the global order backed by American power, Obama has left the
world unmoored”.
