Imagine yourself visiting a used car dealership to buy
a car. The salesman takes you to a car you recognize as the one that your
neighbor used to complain about before he was able to sell it — or more like give it away for a token one dollar — to that same dealership.
The salesman starts pitching it as the best used car
ever to be displayed on the lot of a dealership. You get tired of the sound of
his voice, and cut him off to let him know that you know the history of this
car, and it isn't worth being taken away for free.
The salesman immediately changes the tone of his
pitch, and begins to say things like: Yes, the transmission may seize after a
month or two. Yes, a wheel may fall off the moment that you drive the car out
of the lot, assuming you can start the engine to begin with. Yes, the hydraulic
system may burst and you'll lose control of the steering wheel. But he adds:
What the heck, this is the best used car you'll ever buy with the pot of gold
you said you set aside to exchange for a used car.
Well my friend, if you think this guy ought to be
locked up in an institution where he cannot harm himself or the public, what
would you think of a so-called opinion journalist that tries to sell you a
politico-journalistic jalopy that's not plagued with a bad transmission, or
loose wheels, or bursting hydraulics, but something dandier? It is a jalopy in
which these systems were turned into a pile of junk along with the rest of the
vehicle. This happened because the vehicle was involved in a horrific accident,
and burst into a ball of fire.
That, my friend, is the pile of politico-journalistic
junk that Benjamin Parker is trying to sell to the public. He is making his
pitch under the title: “How Ilhan Omar Slandered Venezuela's Opposition,” an
article that also came under the subtitle: “In targeting Elliott Abrams, she
impugned the people who've been victims of the Maduro regime.” The article was
published on February 19, 2019 in The Bulwark.
Having performed an intellectual somersault of the
Judeo-deceptive kind; one that landed him on his belly
(saying basically that Ilhan Omar is evil and what's happening in
Venezuela is innocent) Benjamin Parker changed
the tone of his pitch and admitted to the following:
“It's possible to imagine that, in a
failed state like Venezuela, armed bands could one day prey on innocents while
in opposition to the government. The struggle in Venezuela has not been
entirely peaceful. In January, the military suppressed a national guard unit
that had defected. As for those protesting the regime, their violence has so
far been directed against property and in clashes with police, in which the
resistance may have used firearms and a grenade launcher against police.”
As if the author had suddenly changed the tone of his
pitch, the gist of that argument is that it is
possible to imagine that one day, those armed bands will turn around and prey
on innocents. And that's exactly what Ilhan Omar wanted to make sure will never
happen. She thought that Elliott Abrams, having gained experience in such
matters, would be able to assure the public that atrocities such as happened in
El Salvador will not happen again under his watch in Venezuela or anywhere
else. But Abrams was too self-conscious of his shortcomings, and was unable to
respond like a normal human being.
In consequence of all that, and in a feeble attempt to
turn the table on Ilhan Omar, Benjamin Parker listed all sorts of crimes he
says were committed against the opposition by the Venezuelan government. True or
not, exaggerated or not, the fact remains that an outside interference in the
internal situation of the country will only help escalate the quarrel between
the two sides.
And if the desire of Elliott Abrams, as quoted by
Benjamin Parker, is to “support the Venezuelan people's effort to restore
democracy to their country,” Abrams will again want to score a “fabulous
achievement,” whose chances of succeeding is zero. The effort will fail the way
it did in El Salvador, and will result in a horrific series of massacres
instead of calming the situation.
Parker complained that when “the Bulwark asked her
[Ilhan Omar's] office which groups or events, if any, she was referring to in
her question,” he did not get a reply. This prompted him to end the article
with this proposition: “Someone ought to ask Omar what her policy is”.
Do you know what this means, my friend? I'll tell you
what it means. Given that Ilhan Omar's duty is to answer to the constituents
that elected her, and more generally to the American public, when characters of
dubious loyalties make demands that confuse the issues and serve the interests
of Israel, they show themselves to be not human beings, but ferocious
cannibalistic beats that ought to be called what they are, and treated accordingly.
Neither Ilhan Omar nor any elected official, owes an
explanation to a Jew, to a Jewish organization or the Jewish-trained or
hypnotized moral prostitutes that seek to supplant the American people who
elect the candidates of their choice to represent them in their government.
