Popular protests have erupted in Thailand not long ago and they went on for several weeks. According to reports at least 88 people including a Western journalist were killed and scores of Thai civilians and journalists were injured. The images that were generated and broadcast by professional journalists and those generated and circulated by citizen journalists told of a brutality on the part of the authorities that exceeded anything seen during the brief Iranian uprising not long before that. Yet, not a word was uttered by the political leaders in America on the Thai uprising while the news of the event barely made it onto the pages of the American print media and the newscasts of American television.
Contrast this situation with the reaction generated in America during the Iranian uprising where the political leaders expressed sentiments ranging from sorrow to horror and where a near carnival atmosphere filled the studios of such networks as CNN and some others, as they all stayed with the Iranian story almost nonstop around the clock, and remained with it even after it had fizzled out, hoping undoubtedly to see it explode again. Anchor after anchor and guest after guest came on the air to encourage the crowds in Iran to fight on, and they cheered the sight of blood spilling in view of the camera as well as the blood that was said to spill behind the cameras. Experts came to the studio that knew what they were talking about, and charlatans came as well who had no idea what they were talking about. When all was said and done you were left to wonder what was going on in the hearts and minds, and in the souls of the politico-journalistic establishment in America. And you asked yourself what could possibly have motivated CNN, the other networks and the politicians in America to behave the way that they did. Were they enamored with the Iranian people more than they were with the Thai people? Did they wish to see their brand of democracy spread in one part of the world and not the other?
No, I'm afraid the answer was none of the above. The sad truth is that CNN, the other networks and the American politicians are puppets on a string, and they are animated by the Israeli propaganda machine which tells them what to say, how to behave, even what to feel at any given time. Simply put, Israel could not care less about Thailand but cares a lot about what goes on inside Iran, therefore America was made to care less about Thailand and care a lot about what goes on inside Iran. But while this situation looks on the surface to be simple enough to understand, it really is a psycho-political construct with parts that are difficult to untangle and equally difficult to understand as to how the parts fit together. The thing to do, therefore, is to use a simpler situation from which we may extract a few principles and use these to explain the more complicated construct.
The one thing that every living organism cares about is food. This is a principle simple enough to understand. Thus, when you study how an organism relates to food you learn a great deal about it. By the same token, get to understand the food situation in Israel and you blow your mind. In fact, what can be determined from published statistics is that Israel produces one third of its nutritional needs while importing the rest from the neighboring countries, paying for the imports with money donated by the American people, and money borrowed from lending institutions, a borrowing that is guaranteed by the American taxpayer. But this alone will not blow your mind. What will do that is the knowledge that the food produced in Israel is grown almost exclusively by the Israeli Arabs who live in the north of the country where the productive land exists and water flows. And while the Arab men find it necessary to commute to the nearby towns to work in industries other than farming to supplement the household income, the Arab women are the ones that farm the land and feed the Jewish nation to the extent that it is possible to do so given the limited availability of the resources.
And while there is enough here to blow your mind, there is something that will stir your bile and provoke your anger too. You are pushed into this state when you see published statistics to the effect that Israel has the highest rate of poverty in the Middle East. In fact, figures are published every year by international organizations such as the World Bank, UNESCO and others which state that nearly a quarter of the people living in Israel live below the poverty line. And neither the government of Israel nor any local organization disputes these figures when they speak officially. But let the media casually engage Israeli officials on the subject and they will deny there is poverty on this scale in Israel. They will go on to explain that the few who are poor in the country are Palestinian women, adding that this is so because the religion of these women forbids them from working and earning a living. But knowing that the character who is speaking to the camera actually grew up on the food produced by the women he is slandering, you feel your bile stir, feel your anger mount and you cease to wonder what a low life looks like because you realize that you are looking at the worst example of a low, low, low life.
You wonder how someone got to be like this and you ask yourself why these people wish to remain in that state. You decide to observe the Jewish propaganda machine in search of answers, and the first thing you notice is that the machine is a distortion mirror of cosmic dimensions. You check it out from all angles and discover that nothing which is reflected by this mirror is seen like it is. You find that everything is made uglier than ugly by the mirror or made prettier than pretty by it depending on what argument serves the image of Israel at the moment and what does not. And you deduce from all this that the situation will change tomorrow depending on the direction from which the political wind will blow then, a situation where the ugly of today may become the pretty of tomorrow, and the pretty of today become the ugly of tomorrow.
Smart enough by now, you realize that you are looking at an ideology with roots that go back thousands of years. You leave the study of history and that of its evolution for later and look instead at the effect that the ideology may have on a people who do not suspect they are being taken advantage of for a purpose they would resent if they knew. You study the narrative that is recited about Israel and you find this place to be described in superlatives that paint a magnificence of such perfection, it would bring a derisive smile to anyone's face if attributed to the gods let alone to a land of mortals. You then study what is being said about Israel's enemies and find the narrative here to be an exaggerated pile of slanderous accusations aimed at creating a hatred that serves a specific purpose. You study the matter further and learn that the hatred of a real or imagined enemy is used like a glue to hold together the narrative about Israel's perfection. The truth now revealed to the effect that the image of Israel would disintegrate if it were not hitched to the image of a hated enemy, you conclude that the artificial love of one and the hatred of the other were two notions coined at the same time to form the two sides of one and the same coin. And all the machination that is created by the Jewish organizations feeds into one purpose only, that of milking the American people by mobilizing their institutions to serve and to promote the glory of Israel. The truth is really nothing more and nothing less than this because nothing else matters to these organizations, a reality that the American people would surely resent if they knew the extent to which they are being taken advantage of.
To go back to the example above, you have here an Israel that would look like North Korea -- complete with chronic famine and the capacity to produce nuclear weapons -- if it were not for the generosity of the American people and that of Israel's Arab and Turkish neighbors who have, over the years, been instrumental in preventing the Jewish people of Israel from literally starving to death. In fact, there is an American rabbi called Ekstein who got tired of being asked to go along with the phony narrative of a perfect Israel. He decided to tape video appeals in which he asked for donations from the Christian people of America to help feed the Jewish people of Israel. He filmed the poor people the way they lived as hungry, sick and destitute individuals and as wretched looking groups that wallowed in the abject filth and privation of their daily existence. The rabbi was criticized for telling it like it was but he could not end the appeals because of the dire situation in which he saw the poor people of Israel. He continued to make the videos but he modified the narrative to make the appeals look like they were describing poor Christians living in Israel or poor Jews living in Eastern Europe but not the poor Jews living in Israel.
And this turning upside down of reality by the Jewish organizations is one more example that shows how a narrative of quackery usually starts and how it evolves to be woven into the existing folklore thus enforce and enlarge it. Here, what started as a drive to raise money to feed the poor Jews of Israel was transformed into a propaganda piece that was used to fashion and to strengthen a synthetic folklore about an Israel that is so perfect, it has no poor Jews living in it despite the statistics that tell a different story. But the donations continued to be solicited and they continued to come in to help feed a mythical group of Israeli Christians and a group of Jewish Europeans because there are no hungry Jews in Israel says the myth. Mind blowing.
And when you realize that this folklore has been a part of the American politico-journalistic set-up for several generations you understand why you get two different reactions from that set-up to what is basically one and the same story. Thus, while the situation in Iran and the one in Thailand are seen as similar by an impartial observer, they appear as two different situations requiring different reactions from those who were raised in the era of the Jewish propaganda machine, and are now instructed at every moment of their lives what to say and what not to say with regard to all such situations, what attitude to develop towards them, even how to relate to them emotionally. This is where the mentality that blew your mind now begins to disgust you as well.
And this, my friend, is what America has been reduced to, the America of the founding fathers who authored the federalist papers, the America of the men and women who dreamed of a nation of individualists, the America of free thought and free expression, the America of a Constitution that everyone on the Planet used to wish emulating but no more. Where has this America gone?
