Abstract View ignoring Reality on the Ground

 Jeffrey Mankoff has impressive credentials, and what he writes carries weight. But Mankoff lives in an intellectual milieu that allows him only a certain amount of leeway in how he approaches the subjects he tackles, and how he parses them.

 

Mankoff's latest article came under the title: “How Will Russia Respond to the US-China Cold War?” The article also came under a long subtitle that basically says this: “Russia's interests are more aligned with those of China than those of America. The latter's confrontation with China enhances the relationship between it and Russia.” The article was published on September 29, 2020 in The National Interest.

 

Most of what the author says makes sense, but you can see why it is bland and superficial. It is that these views are widely shared among his colleagues as shown by the large number of links which send the reader to other publications for confirmation, additional information or verification. In fact, these referrals are what provided Mankoff the creative material that has allowed him to put together his own creation.

 

What is missing in Mankoff's piece, as it does in all such pieces, is a highlighting of what America's rivals are saying and doing right now. Airing such sayings and exposing such doings are necessary because they would give the author the chance to offer an informed interpretation of what they mean, as well as suggest what future actions might follow, and what these actions are meant to accomplish.

 

Here are the signals I see the Chinese leaders are sending out. They consider Taiwan to be a breakaway province, and like every self-respecting country, they want it back in the family. To do so is even more critical for a China that has reached the status of superpower. Under normal conditions China would have blockaded the island of Taiwan by sea and by air, and demanded the governing body to peacefully surrender or face destruction, capture, trial for treason and the harsh treatment that comes with that.

 

The trouble is that these are not normal circumstances. It's because the leaders of Taiwan are encouraged, armed and protected by America, which is the other superpower in the world; one that is powerful militarily even if it began to decline in other ways. Thus, whichever way the Chinese intend to deal with Taiwan, they must take into consideration how America might react, and prepare to deal with that.

 

Enough is said and done every day by the leaders on both sides to allow Jeffrey Mankoff and other authors, who write about these matters, to highlight what is meant by the sayings of those leaders, and what message the military maneuvers in the Pacific are supposed to send out. What the writers must also do, is offer an informed interpretation as to what all of this is supposed to accomplish for the antagonists, and how it might affect the region and the whole world.

 

Clearly the Chinese are prepared to go the full distance to bring Taiwan back into the family. But given that they also have an ambitious program to organize the world according to the principles of peaceful coexistence among the nations and the different political systems, they intend to put in motion some very tricky plans. What could they be? Well, there can only be one way to do these things. It is the following:

 

The Chinese will go ahead with the plan to blockade Taiwan by air and sea, but they will do it simultaneously with another massive plan to deter the United States from interfering. To achieve this, China will first build up its forces in such a way as to be able to hit every American target in the Pacific –– whether it is on dry land or at sea –– with conventional warheads or small tactical nuclear warheads depending on the size of the target.

 

The Chinese will let the Americans know what they put in place, and warn them that if as little as one round is fired at them from a rifle, all of America's assets in the Pacific will be wiped out in one fell swoop. And the Chinese message to the Americans will end with this friendly advice: You're too smart to start World War III after all of your assets in the Pacific have been wiped out. And America will have been deterred.

 

Seeing that America has been immobilized, the government of Taiwan will have no choice but to surrender. To the relief of the human race, this will solve the problem that should never have been in the first place. But having pushed the world to the brink of disaster, America will officially have relegated itself to the rank of a second-rate power … an irresponsible power at that.

 

Of course, an ending such as that can be avoided. The way to do it is for the Americans to decide as soon as possible, to go to the leaders of Taiwan and let them know that America will no longer act in a way that suggests Taiwan is not a province of China. As well, any communication that Taiwan will want to have with America must go through Beijing.

 

America will also inform Beijing of this decision. The Taiwanese will be upset, of course, and will take some time to think about it. But in the end, they will see that it is better for them to negotiate a peaceful solution with mainland China than try to defy it.

They use American Children as Guinea Pigs

 Think about it. You represent the government of a country. Perhaps it is African or Asian or Arab or South American or what have you. The Jews, who are the well-known chronic complainers of the planet, shamelessly come to you yet again, and complain that antisemitism is rising in the country, therefore something must be done to curtail the trend.

 

You do as they ask more than once, but nothing checks the rise of anti-Semitic acts in the country. So, the Jews come to you once more, and say that nothing is working because the existing population is hopelessly set in its antisemitic ways, being raised in this manner. What we must do, therefore, is devote our energies to raising the next generation in such a way as to inculcate it with tolerance for the Jews, they suggest to you. They go on to explain that this can only be done by catching the children at an early age, and teaching them the lesson of the Holocaust in the classroom.

 

You say okay, we'll let you teach our school children a course about the Holocaust. The Jews do that for a few years, then one day they come howling: Pay attention, pay attention. We have a complaint, we have a complaint. So, you ask: What's your complaint this time? And they say, the course on the Holocaust isn't working, and we feel like we've been cheated.

 

Stunned by this accusation, you say to them: But you're the ones that designed and taught the course. How could you have been cheated? By whom have been cheated? They say that's not the important thing at this time. What's important is that we change what we teach and how we teach it so as to make the lesson more effective, they say. They add that they don't have a new program as yet, but they'll get back to you when they'll have one. Meanwhile, they'll continue to teach the old program till the new is ready.

 

Well, here is what will happen next, my friend. If you are the representative of a country from Africa or Asia or from an Arab or a South American country, you'll tell the Jews to beat it and never show their faces around where you are ever again. But if you represent the Federal government or one of the State governments in America, you'll tell the Jews that American children will be put at their disposal to experiment with as if they were guinea pigs. This is how much an American politician will sacrifice for a promise that will never be honored, of a Jewish vote that's never there to deliver.

 

You can see how this despicable game is played when you read the article that came under the title: “The inevitable consequences of false history,” and the subtitle: “The backlash against a '1619 project' that libels America as an irredeemable racist nation resonates for Jews who worry about the failure of the Holocaust education.” It was written by Jonathan S. Tobin and published on September 23, 2020 in the Jewish News Syndicate.

 

Here is what the article is all about: “The problem is that what's being taught isn't helping to correct the situation, let alone deal with a rising tide of anti-Semitism. As Ruth Wisse writes, instead of doubling down on curricula that may be hurting as much as they are helping, we need to rethink Holocaust-education programs that were flawed from the start.” In other words, Ruth Wisse wants, and Jonathan Tobin concurs that America's children should be used like experimental animals on whom to test new methods by which to raise a generation of Americans who will know better ways to suck up to the Jews.

 

As to how the Jews will benefit when this is accomplished, we get an account of this story from another article. It came under the title: “War in the Desert, 21st-Century Style,” and the subtitle: “How Israel hopes to achieve a knock-out blow in its next conflict.” It was written by Seth J. Frantzman and published on September 27, 2020 in National Review Online.

 

Looking at the subtitle even before reading the article, if someone from an African or an Asian country or from an Arab or a South American country, saw this, he would immediately flush the Jewish explanation down the toilet. Do you know why? Because Israel does not even acknowledge conducting bombing raids on a neighbor. They consider such actions to be state secret. But here is Israel now telling the world and potential future enemies how it proposes to fight the next conflict … giving away the kind of weapons it will use and the strategy it will employ. A non-American will feel that his intelligence has been so insulted, it is like the Jew had peed on his front porch. He'll get angry at the individual that did this to him. But you know what, my friend? the American will feel differently. He’ll feel honored that the Jew has noticed him. He’ll want to know more about what the Israelis are doing, and the following is what the Jew will want him to know:

 

“The Israeli innovations, for instance, the Iron Dome system is now being tested and considered for the US Army. In addition, the Trophy defense system that Israeli tanks carry is used on the Abrams tank. This defense-technology knits together Washington and Jerusalem. When the next war comes, Israel's rapid maneuver and attempt to overmatch its enemies will be watched from abroad to see if the drills have made the difference that Israel's commanders hope they have”.

 

The key idea here is the one expressed as follows: “Knits together Washington and [occupied] Jerusalem.” Another word that could have been used is 'conflate.' The Jews are conflating not just the interests of America and those of the criminal entity they call Israel; they are fusing together the aspirations of both jurisdictions so that America will remain the enabler of Israel as well as the perceived perpetrator of the crimes against humanity that Israel commits so wantonly and so frequently.

'Old soldiers never die–they just fade away'

 I don't know what happened to Daniels Pipes, but he seems to have been gripped by a sudden urge to tell the American people he'll ejaculate his moral syphilis into their hearts, heads and souls because it makes him feel good when he does that. He then went ahead and relieved himself of the urge.

 

He did so in the article he wrote under the title: “Anti-Zionist Gamal Abdel Nasser lives on in Egypt,” published on September 27, 2020 in The Washington Times. Pipes went on to describe Nasser's character as intimately as only his psychiatrist and fellow traveler would know him … if only what Pipes had said were true. To make the lies he piled against Nasser's character stick, Pipes had no choice but to express contempt for his readers by telling them a lie that can easily be verified. It is this: “Gamal Abdel Nasser, ruler of Egypt … during his 18 years in power, 1952-70 dominated the Middle East”.

 

Well, my friend, anyone that pretends to know Nasser as Pipes wants you to believe he does, would know that Nasser did not begin ruling Egypt until two years after King Farouk was told to abdicate. This would make it that he ruled Egypt during the 16 years (not 18) that span the period 1954-70; not 1952-70. The importance of correcting the mutilation of history committed by Daniel Pipes resides in the fact that knowledge of the historical events which unfolded during the two years 1952-54 completely contradict the description that Pipes has given of Nasser's character.

 

The truth of the matter is that Gamal Abdel Nasser was the consummate soldier who became the reluctant president of Egypt. He always conducted himself in accordance with the military code of honor, duty and service to the nation. To quote a saying by Douglas MacArthur, Nasser was one of the “Old Soldiers [that] never die–they just fade away.” Here is what transpired between 1952 and 1954 in Egypt:

 

Ruled for centuries by foreigners, the last one being a frivolous king of Albanian descent, Egypt was clamoring to see a change of the paradigm that was determining its fate; a fate that Egyptians did not like. This is what motivated Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser to plan a bloodless change of the system of governance from monarchic to republican. Nasser did not think of himself high enough in ranking to go tell King Farouk to abdicate the throne. Instead, he asked his colleague General Mohammed Naguib to head the delegation that eventually went to the king and asked him to abdicate and leave the country.

 

Naguib did exactly that, and Farook's son Fouad II ruled Egypt as a “ceremonial” king for a few months during which time the appropriate protocols were put in place to turn Egypt into a republic. This happened in 1953. During that Time, Mohammed Naguib served as Prime Minister. But when Egypt became a republic, he became its first “caretaker” President and held office till April 1954 when Nasser took over.

 

Nasser saw that Egypt's immediate need was to tame the unpredictable Nile that was bringing floods in some years and droughts in other years since before antiquity to the land of Egypt. The way to tame the river was to build a dam at Aswan, thus regulate the flow of the Nile. Since it was decided that this was going to be done, might as well build a hydro power station and give Egypt two extra gigawatts of power that will serve as kernel for the country's effort to rejoin the Industrial Revolution.

 

Yes, that was to rejoin the Industrial Revolution because Egypt had become a part of the original Industrial Revolution when, at the same time as Britain, and before the rest of Europe, Egypt became the second nation to have a railway system. It was to be extended to Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, and from there to the rest of Africa so as to do peaceful commerce with the rest of the Continent.

 

Unfortunately, the rivalries in Europe between the nations that were now producing guns and bleeding each other like savages, decided to turn their savage energies against the nations that did not have guns to protect themselves. The latter were in Africa and Asia, and that's where the warring Europeans ceased killing each other and went looking for easy prey in other parts of the World. Instead of becoming partner with Europe, Egypt became a prey like the others. Two components of the European colonial scheme for the Middle East were the Sykes-Picot plan to redraw the borders of the Levant nations, and the implantation of a Jewish entity in the heart of the Arab world.

 

Because Nasser was preoccupied with building Egypt to where it would have been had there not been a colonial interruption, he did not care about Israel. He only began to pay attention when the Jews pressured America to pressure the World Bank to deny Egypt a loan to build the Aswan dam and hydroelectric station. And of course, he could not ignore the 1956 invasion of the Suez Canal zone by the two colonial powers, Britain and France who brought Israel with them to show it how to plan and execute savage sorties so as to disrupt the lives of its neighbors, thus create demonic chaos in the region.

 

Because of his confidence in the tenacity of the Egyptian people, Nasser stood up to the colonial powers of the day, and this earned him the admiration to the Arab World, the Non-Aligned World, and the Third World that was still fighting to liberate itself. Nasser did not seek to be loved by these people, they loved him unconditionally because of the content of his character.

 

Now my friend, read the Daniel Pipes article, and you'll be able to spot the contradictions that will tell you this man is both ignorant and a lying devil. Once you've established this reality to your satisfaction, ask yourself one question: Does this Jew ever read the Bloomberg News publication or does he not? If he does, he would know that Bloomberg has become a fan of Egypt's economic performance.

 

After all, now that most countries are registering negative growth, Egypt is registering robust positive growth. And this repeats the performance of a dozen years ago when the near-depression that was created by W. Bush sent the economies of the world into a tailspin, whereas Egypt kept registering positive growth quarter after quarter.

 

Come to think of it, the people of Egypt have Nasser to thank for this performance because it was the choices that he made, and the reactions of his enemies that put Egypt on the path to becoming an economic powerhouse.

The optical illusion that persists

 You may think of goodwill in business as an optical illusion that nevertheless is supposed to reflect the worth of an enterprise. This value may not be apparent to the naked eye, but would be to those who dig deep into the transactions of the enterprise.

 

This is why an enterprise that might not have much in terms of equipment or patents or workforce, would be bought by investors or another business at a higher price than meets the eye. The difference between the assessed value and the purchase price would be the goodwill that the buyers have attributed to the business. This could be the good management of the enterprise or the fact that it is making and selling products that will soon be in high demand or some other factor.

 

But goodwill can also play a trick on investors, and that's when it would be nothing more than an optical illusion, and a destructive one at that. It happens especially to those who trade on the stock exchange without doing enough due diligence on the stocks they buy. They might pay a price that reflects a high goodwill value such as the stock used to have, but things have changed, and the reversal is not apparent to the naked eye. Eventually someone discovers that the stock is trading in a bubble of goodwill that's no longer there, yet persists as an optical illusion. He pricks the bubble, and the stock comes down to its true worth.

 

You'll find that the factors at play in that sort of scenario also exist when it comes to assessing the value of a currency. An important factor in this case would be the goodwill that investors feel for the issuer of the currency. This would be the country that owns the currency. Aside from the politics that can play a role in determining how investors view the country itself, another factor affecting the investors' determination is the demand-supply equation for the currency; a factor that can be influenced by the country’s central bank.

 

In fact, the balance of payment (which is defined by how much a country buys from the rest of the world, and how much it sells to it, and by the level of other foreign inflows and outflows) plays a role in determining what investors will think of a country. In addition, there are “virtual” factors such as the assessment of the rating agencies, the relationship that the country has with the international institutions such as the IMF, the World Bank and the big investment houses –– which are taken into consideration when setting the value of a currency. You can already see that this method allows for goodwill to play a big role in determining the value of a currency.

 

And there is yet another factor that remains totally unseen but exerts some influence. That is, in the same way that the growth of an economy depends not only on the money supply but also the velocity of the money, the external trading activity of a nation helps to give the impression that the country is doing well even if it consistently runs a deficit.

 

But what does all that mean at the end of the day? It means that to determine the size of a country's wealth as well as its economic performance, based on the exchange rate that exists between its currency and the reserve currency, which is the American dollar –– is to commit a big mistake. It's because this method depends a great deal on a goodwill that may be real, but can also be an optical illusion.

 

Why is this important for us to know? It is important because there is an ongoing debate concerning something called “convergence,” as can be seen in the article that came under the title: “Are Intellectuals Killing Convergence?” It was written by Arvind Subramanian and Josh Felman, and was published on September 23, 2020 in Project Syndicate.

 

The point that Subramanian and Felman are making is that the higher the rate of globalization, the greater the chances given to the emerging economies to increase their import and export activities. This allows their economies to grow faster and catch up (converge) with the advanced economies. Well, I respectfully beg to differ, and say that what has been so described is an optical illusion.

 

My view is that the emerging economies need to trade with the advanced economies at a pace that allows them to buy and pay for the production machines and the knowledge they need to advance at the rate that is convenient for each of them. Going faster than that will trigger the law of diminishing return. This is when the wealthy in both the developing and developed countries get wealthier while the rest of the populations remain stagnant or get poorer. On paper, it looks like the countries are getting wealthier but in reality, what's on paper is an optical illusion that makes the bubble look like the real thing.

 

I lived in Egypt during the late 1950s and early 1960s when the colonial powers had instituted a system of sanctions on the country, and external trade came to a virtual halt. That's when I saw firsthand the validity of the saying: Necessity is the mother of invention. It is that people I knew well, who would never have started a business, did so because the opportunity was there and the country needed the parts that could no longer be imported.

 

My father partnered with a friend, and they started making parts for farm machinery and implements. One of my uncles started making spark plugs for cars. Another uncle started making the drums on which mount the wheels of cars and trucks. And a friend of the family started making parts for optical equipment. This kind of spirit was triggered throughout the country, and has left a legacy that is having a positive influence on the country’s economy today.

 

It is why I remained optimistic that Egypt will pull through when things apparently went bad after the two revolutions that made the haters in Washington celebrate, and those in New York dance in the street.

 

And this is why I pity the ignorant dudes who believe they are causing Iran and North Korea permanent damage by imposing murderous sanctions on them. These people have no idea how much they are motivating the patriots in those countries to become “the shining city upon a hill” that America dreamed of becoming but never achieved it. Ronald Reagan must be spinning in his grave.

The Difference between Research and Research

 Imagine yourself as head of the anthropology department at a university, and you hear about a site in a remote area of the country where somebody is said to have discovered what looks like remnants of a settlement that may go back hundreds of years if not go back to prehistory.

 

You call on one of your researchers to form a team and go work on that site. You authorize the university to make available to him all that's necessary in terms of equipment, rations and funds for the team to spend several days in a sparsely populated and desolate region of the country doing diligent work, which you expect will shed much light on the history of that part of the country.

 

A few days pass, and you get an emissary, sent by the leader of the team. He gives you a preliminary report that says the place is a treasure trove full of items that will revolutionize our understanding of prehistoric life. There is so much in that site, he says, he must remain a few more days to complete the work he came to do. But to do it efficiently, he'll need more funds and more provisions to sustain a team that's working hard.

 

Excited by this revelation, you pressure the university to appropriate more money for the project, and the university acquiesces to your request. A few days later, you get another emissary, sent by the leader of the team to hand you yet another preliminary report that says the same thing as the previous, and requesting much the same thing as before.

 

You try to pressure the treasurer of the university to appropriate more funds but the refuses, suggesting instead that you go with him to the site and see for yourselves what's going on out there. You agree it's a good idea, and you both go to the site. Once there, it takes you only a minute to establish that this is a modern landfill containing garbage that has accumulated for many years before the site was abandoned decades ago. Ashamed at the ignorance of your researcher, you walk back to your vehicle and head home.

 

Well, my friend, consider this story to be a metaphor because in a manner similar to that, the so-called Foundation for Defense of Democracies is trying to pull a fast one on its readers. This foundation is a comical outfit that should not be dabbling in geopolitical matters, but there it is, doing just that. It should be ashamed of Tzvi Kahn, a so-called researcher in its employ that keeps coming up with reports so dumb, they should be called comical skits but they are also absurd to such extreme, they make you weep, not laugh.

 

Kahn's latest absurdity came under the title: “As UN celebrates 75th anniversary, dictators still dominate,” an article that was published on September 25, 2020 in The Washington Examiner. The author is attacking the United Nations (UN) because he says that the world organization, which created Israel in the first place, has two faults: It hates Israel and loves its enemies of the day … which happen to be most of the world.

 

And so, to justify his attacks on the UN, Tzvi Kahn says that the world body is full of dictators who suppress their own people––which is the wrong thing to do according to him––whereas Israel suppresses and kills someone else's people––which is the right thing to do––all the more so because they are Palestinians.

 

As to the reason why there is a Palestinian-Jewish issue in the first place, is that there has been a confusion as to what the Jews represent. Are they remnants of the ancient Hebrew tribes who were genuine to Palestine in the same way that the Palestinians are, having never left the land? Or are they recent multi-ethnic dumps, considered refuse by the Europeans who discarded them into a landfill called Israel?

 

Even if the Jews are the authentic remnants of the ancient Hebrew tribes that roamed the region, and even if they can prove they have not intermarried so often as to dilute the Hebrew side of their ethnicity, they still would have no legal right to go to Palestine and tell those who never left the place to go away because the so-called Jews are back to their ancient homeland. They cannot do that anymore than America's Irish can go back to Ireland and replace those who never left the land. The same is true of the Italian-Canadians, the Spanish-Australians and so on and so forth.

 

But if the so-called Jews have nothing to do ethnically with the ancient Hebrews except that they stole their identity by converting to their religion, then Jews must be considered the refuse that the Europeans got tired incinerating, thus decided to dump them into a small part of Palestine they called “Jewish Homeland,” whose borders are delineated by the 1948 UN Resolution.

 

This being the reality of what's unfolding in the Middle East today, someone ought to tell Tzvi Kahn he is doing the wrong kind of research, and that he can be more useful to humanity if he spent his excess energies recycling the refuse that his city is throwing away. If lucky, he may someday stumble on a treasure: perhaps a box of jewelry someone discarded by mistake.

When youthful Reveries overpower Reason

 Maybe you can mentally project yourself back to moments when you were about five or six years of age. It was a time when you began to develop the sense of anticipation for something joyful to happen soon.

 

It could have been Christmas or Eid or Hanukkah, that grabbed your imagination and so, you let yourself fly into a world of revery where all the sweets and toys that you ever desired having, now lay in front of you, all at your fingertips.

 

Do moments like these happen to children only, or can they happen to adults as well? Actually, they do happen to adults, but happen somewhat differently. Whereas children have no preference for a toy or a sweet, given that they covet all of them with no sense of priority for any, adults do discriminate as to what they want most urgently on a given day, depending on what preoccupies them on that very day.

 

You can see something like this happening to members of the echo chamber that was set up by and for the mob of Jewish pundits. They all are in a state of euphoria at this time, believing that the proverbial Santa Claus is coming to town now that the Arabs have agreed to begin establishing close relations with Israel. And so, each of the pundits got busy blurting out his or her set of priorities.

 

One of these pundits is Robert D. Kaplan whose priorities reflect his past life as an expatriate who spent many years living in several countries in the Mediterranean region. Thus, geography is where reveries transported him, and geography is where he sees the toys and sweets that can be had for Israel and for the other Jewish causes. Unsurprisingly, the article he wrote came under the title: “The Middle East's New Map,” and was published on September 24, 2020 in The National Interest.

 

Here is the revery that constitutes his top priority: “The process of ending the era of Arab-Israeli confrontation will continue, culminating perhaps in a political upheaval in Iran. That is the road that the Middle East may now be on … The battle for Iranian hearts and minds has commenced following the Israel-Arab Gulf Alliance. It is the internal dynamic in Iran, that over the coming years has the power to truly change the region”.

 

He sees this happening because, in his daydream, he visualizes what he calls the “Israel-Arab Alliance” potentially redesigning and rebuilding the region into a geopolitical order that will suit his politico-religious bent. He dreams that this will happen because Iran will be eliminated as a player in the region, an event that will happen –– not by a war between Iran and the Alliance, God forbid –– but by the Iranian people themselves who will be influenced by the success of Alliance. According to Kaplan's revery, ordinary Iranians will come to see the internal contradictions of their own system, and will cause the collapse of the regime.

 

Now that he got rid of Iran, Kaplan looked at the map of the region and saw other powers that could potentially interfere with the Israel-Gulf Arab Alliance becoming the dominant power in the area. Because he realized he could not get rid of those powers through wars –– an idea so preposterous, it would destroy the premise of his dream –– he proposed to eliminate them by the magical willpower of the dreamer. He just wished them away and they disappeared as potential rivals. Here is how he accomplished this feat:

 

“The Israel-UAE Alliance enjoys unimpeded naval access around the Arabian Peninsula: The Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Persian Gulf, with only tiny Qatar and Yemen presenting a challenge. The growing military presence of China in Djibouti and Port Sudan will remain a neutral element … Syria and Iraq had organized the rejection front against Israel. Those states, along with Libya, are now shattered. Egypt lies impotent beneath debilitating repression and economic mayhem. The Palestinians, Qatar, and Shiite elements in Lebanon are all that's left of the Arab rejection front, supported by Turkey and Iran”.

 

Even though Kaplan has avoided mention of any role violence might play in the transformation of the region, the master plan he has in the back of his head envisions the rise of a military that can rival any superpower. Mindful of the certainty that the UAE will be getting the F-35s that made the Israeli air force a power to be reckoned with, he believes that the Alliance combining the two, will rise to the level of a superpower.

 

But what about the navy? Considering that China has already surpassed the United States in naval power, and that it has projected that power as far away as Djibouti and Port Sudan on the Red Sea, what can the UAE or Israel or their combined naval power do to catch up?

 

Do not worry about China, says Robert Kaplan the dreamer. His reveries made it so that China will not interfere with what the Alliance will be doing. As to Qatar, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Egypt and Turkey, they all have their problems, say Kaplan, and they can do nothing that will interfere with the rise of the Alliance.

 

The advice I can give to Robert D. Kaplan is to say: Pinch yourself to see that you’re awake. If you are and you’re having such thoughts, you’re in trouble. You are because having these thoughts will signify that you’re regressing to your childhood days before reason had matured enough to start turning you into an adult.

But if they can't be trusted telling the truth…?

 When you see the President of the United States admit, while speaking on the record, that he lied to his people about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, you worry about many of the things you took for granted all your life concerning the system you thought was protecting you.

 

When you see the citizens of Israel admit that they lied about the number of people they might have infected with the virus, and when you recall that not a single day goes by without being told that these people are the closest friends America has, you wonder, “With friends like these who needs enemies?”

 

What happened in fact, is that during an interview with author Bob Woodward, President Donald Trump admitted that he lied to the public about the severity of the pandemic that's sweeping his country. It happened during what Trump knew was a recorded conversation for a book that Woodward was writing at the time. The book was eventually completed and published under the title “RAGE”.

 

As to the Jews of Israel whose catchword is “never again,” they admitted to the military authorities that they have been lying about the number of people they might have infected with the virus. This fact was reported in an article that came under the title: “Many Israelis lie during epidemiological investigations,” written by Yoav Limor and published on September 24, 2020 in Jewish News Syndicate.

 

That article also came under a subtitle that runs as follows: “IDF (Israel Defense Forces) Home Front Command data shows many Israelis who have tested positive for coronavirus, violate quarantine directives and conceal the number of people they may have infected.” As to the reason the liars gave for lying, the answer is right there in the article, and runs as follows:

 

“Among the main reasons cited for the trend were lacking enforcement and lax punishment … according to the study, a worrying number of people who have been confirmed as infected fail to provide full and precise details regarding those with whom they came into contact before testing positive … The figures show that a large portion of Israelis do not give full and detailed testimony, seemingly so as not to force family members, friends and colleagues into quarantine”.

 

The reason that the American president gave for lying to his people, runs along a similar line. He says he did not want to alarm the citizens about the severity of the pandemic lest they panic and make bad decisions for themselves. And so, between making the choice of dying a horrible death or risking to make a bad decision under a panicky situation, Donald Trump chose death for thousands of his own people rather than let them make that choice for themselves. The same goes for the Jews of Israel who chose death for their family, friends and colleagues rather than let them choose for themselves.

 

This being the kind of culture by which the Jews govern themselves, how can anyone trust them telling the truth about the Holocaust, especially when they insist on crucifying anyone that tries to verify what they come up with on a daily basis, and what seems to suit the volition of the day? This is a question that's humongous in importance, and when you pair it with the reality that these same Jews are now teaching the Holocaust to America's children, you should feel the chill run up and down your spine.

 

But stop for a minute and watch what comes next because things are getting even worse. It is that the Jews are claiming antisemitism is increasing in America, therefore they must be given more power to teach America's children even more of what they say is the truth about the Holocaust. The Jews are doing this, knowing full well that the more power they get, the more they are resented, the more they see this as antisemitism and the more power they demand. And so was repeated the Jewish cycle of death around the globe and throughout time. And nobody that's seeing the cycle repeat itself, this time in America, is saying enough is enough because they all have been programmed to parrot the ineffective: never again.

 

Looking at what’s happening in America, that setup is nothing but a manifestation of the governing system abandoning its offspring. It is leaving them in the hands of those that hunger to raise the children of Christian families and see them grow up to become drones that do nothing useful in life but spend their days praising their Jewish masters and serving them like well-trained beasts of burden.

 

Lest anyone believe that a scenario such as that cannot happen in America, suffice it to recall that at the start of the pandemic, the drones of the echo chamber, which are dedicated to singing the praises of Israel's fake achievements, were the first to come out and roll the drums of what they said will be achieved by the collaboration of America and Israel in the development of a vaccine to vanquish the COVID-19 virus.

 

They promised the success will come in no time at all, and the whole world will soon be cured thanks to the Jews of Israel. The catch, however, was that America will have to give to Israel the money to complete the research that was already started.

 

And before you know it, two of the Christian moral prostitutes, recruited as drones in the service of their Jewish masters, had pushed a bill in the Federal Senate to appropriate 12 million dollars to give to Israel.

 

Suckers of every stripe. Suckers to the end.
