What follows is a real-life example that constitutes an
excellent lesson on how not to handle history.
It is also an example that shows why the Jews are incapable
of understanding history. In brief, it is because they begin with “religious”
beliefs to which they hang on like dogma. And they connect fictitious dots that
flow out of prejudices they consider to be divine promises. They make decisions
based on all that, and chart a course to engineer a desired (read promised)
outcome.
What the Jews reject is the reality that this approach –
perhaps minus the religious component – is the very foundation on which
authoritarian rule is built. It is why dictators (individuals or mass
movements) always learn the bitter lesson that they cannot engineer history.
What happens to the Jews eventually is that they get surprised when they see
that history is made of random events which may or may not converge at some
point. If they do, unforeseen consequences make the unexpected happen. And this
is why history can only be understood in hindsight when all is said and done.
That lesson comes to us courtesy of the editors of the New
York Daily News who apparently discovered in the profile of Benjamin (Ben)
Rhodes that was written by David Samuels of the New York Times, a number of
reasons to attack their two favorite targets: Their own American President,
Barack Obama, and Israel's nemesis in the Middle East, the nation of Iran.
The editors did so in a piece they wrote under the title:
“Obama's Iran
scam” and the subtitle: “The President hard sale of the nuclear deal with the
mullahs has chock full of spin and half-truths,” published on May 7, 2016. They
level these accusations because they say they found “plenty” of evidence to that
effect in the Rhodes profile, which they
characterize as being “extraordinarily revealing”.
Ben Rhodes is the deputy national security adviser that
handled the liaison between the White House and the media during the time that
the negotiations were ongoing between Iran
and the P5+1 nations, which included the United States . What was revealed
about Rhodes , say the editors of the Daily
News, is that he knew something very serious about Barack Obama, and did not
reveal it to the public till after the fact.
Are you ready for it, my friend? Here it is: Rhodes always
understood that Obama wanted to “remake U.S.
relations in the Mideast ,” ever since the
beginning of his presidency. And he was eager to do a deal with Iran as far
back as 2012 to reach this goal. Whoa! How very serious is that!
What the editors of the Daily News are furious about is that
they believe Barack Obama and Benjamin Rhodes – working hand in hand with the
Iranians – engineered this whole thing when in fact, it was no more than a
classic example of how characters and events converge randomly to create a
historical happening that nobody could have foreseen ahead of time. The
astonishing part is that the editors of the tabloid exactly describe how
history played itself out, and yet fail to see that it was fashioned by neither
the hand of Obama nor that of Rhodes .
Look how elements of that deal had been in the making
decades before it all came together. Here is the editors' own recitation of
that history: (1) Iranian President Hassan Rouhani earned a PhD in Scotland long
ago and then took office only in 2013. (2) Iranian Foreign Minister Mahammad
Zarif was educated at American universities. (3) He cultivated a close
relationship with America 's
Secretary of State, John Kerry.
Now, given that John Kerry turned pacifist – having fought
in the very unpopular Vietnam War – and given that Barack Obama had an
upbringing that made him a pacifist by nature, the two Americans “converged” in
time and space with the two Iranians, Rouhani and Zarif, and worked with them
to make the nuclear deal happen.
It was this convergence of characters and events which made
it inevitable that the four should forge a deal which, by everyone's
calculation, has avoided a war in the Middle East
so terrible; it would have made previous wars in the region look like child
play.
