Clifford D. May's latest column came under the title:
“What's at stake in Syria ,”
published on April 10, 2018 in The Washington Times.
You look at that title and immediately go fetch the biggest
magnifying glass you can get your hands on to search for what the writer says
is at stake. But combing through the article, all you find is enough food for
thought to feed half a bird's brain and nothing more. That's what’s there when
the intent was to set-up a debating banquet meant to feed an entire nation.
This would be an America
that's hungry to know why thousands of lives and trillions of dollars were
gambled on playing the Jewish game in the Middle East ,
only to end up making the situation worse than it ever was.
And here you see Clifford May repeat the arguments that he
and those like him dished out a decade and a half ago when the situation was
such that to invade Iraq
was like taking a walk in the park. By contrast to invade Syria today will make the Iraq adventure look like playing a
video game. Then too the Jews were saying remember 1938 and hurry to “take out”
Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction before he destroys all of us. And
so, America invaded Iraq but found
no weapons of mass destruction. What it found, instead, was a quagmire that
could have become another Vietnam
or an Afghanistan , except that
a wise president at the time pulled out of Iraq and saved lives.
What do you think happened after that? Well, the same Jews
that ran around screaming their heads off like a bunch of hysterical sissies,
made a U-turn and are now running in the opposite direction screaming that the
weapons of mass destruction were not in Saddam's Iraq
but in the hands of his archenemies, the mullahs of Iran . Now, they see that the
problem was never the Hitler that Saddam Hussein was not; they see it as a
triad that's made of “Syria 's
dictator Bashar Assad, neo-czar Vladimir Putin of Russia ,
and Iran 's
supreme leader for life Ali Khamenei”.
And they want America 's leaders to do two things:
One, they want them to prepare the public to accept sacrificing more American
and foreign lives. Two, they want the public to accept living with trillions of
dollars in war-time expenses so as to make America stand as a Middle Eastern sentinel
in charge of protecting Israel while its leaders ravage the neighborhood like
wild animals.
So that's what Clifford May sees as being what's at stake in
Syria .
Of course, he doesn't believe a word of what he's saying because if he did, he
would have written an honest but naïve article urging America to stay in the Middle
East and not be tempted to cut its losses, or preoccupy itself
with delivering to its own people. But if that's the case, how is it that
Clifford May and people like him were able to fool America 's
representatives long enough to bring the country to the edge of the precipice,
working exclusively to serve the interests of Israel ?
The answer to that question is that the Jews have a secret
weapon based on the psychology of demagoguery. What they do is set-up two
imaginary camps. They label one 'camp of the bad guys,' and label the other
'us,' meaning the good guys. They badmouth as many people as they can,
attributing to them the things that were done badly, and the things they should
have done but never did. And they place these people in the camp of the bad
guys. The subtle implication is that 'us,' must be in the camp of the good
guys, and we must be doing correctly the things that the other guys did badly
or failed to do. Look how Clifford May is playing this game in practice. What
follows is a description of the camp containing the bad guys who did the wrong
things or neglected doing the right things.
“Syria
is a far-away land about which we know little. Over seven years half a million
people have been slaughtered there. We know who's committing these crimes:
Bashar Assad, Vladimir Putin and Ali Khamenei. President Obama drew a red line
–– and then erased it in deference to the Iranians. Obama negotiated an
agreement under which Syria
was to surrender its stockpiles of chemical weapons. John Kerry announced: We
got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out. He was misinformed. Last week Mr.
Trump mused: I want to get out of Syria . It's time. Let the other
people take care of it now”.
And here is the camp of the good guys that did the right
things or trying to do them:
“The president is in discussions with John Bolton, Mike
Pompeo and James Mattis. The questions I hope Trump will ask is what's the
theory of victory? And what will be required to achieve it? One mission:
Frustrate the ambitions of what Thomas Joscelyin calls the Assad-Putin-Khamenei
axis. A year ago, Bolton warned Trump to avoid
repeating Obama's errors. Anthony Cordesman ticked off other ways leaving Syria would
harm American interests. It would, he wrote, expose the Kurdish forces to
defeat”.
To close his argument, Clifford May returned to the theme of
1938 with this: More than Syria
is at stake just as more than Czechoslovakia
was at stake. In 1938, Neville Chamberlain sacrificed the small nation to
Hitler.
What Clifford May kept hidden from his readers, is that the
tragedy of 1938 happened because Chamberlain consented to Hitler's annexation
of a piece of Czechoslovakia
named the Sudetenland . The modern parallel to
that is America 's consent to
Israel 's annexation of Syria 's Golan Heights and Palestine 's
East Jerusalem .
