Here We Go Again

A Middle Eastern proverb says that those whom God intends to destroy He first renders them mad. A newer version of the saying adds to it that if God intends to totally obliterate that someone, He renders them raving lunatics. Well, my friend, now that the Israelis have killed the goose that used to lay the golden egg for them and now that they see famine loom on the horizon, they are going loony. And this can only mean that they are anticipating their own total obliteration. What is noteworthy about all this is that they did not need someone to push them over the cliff; they did it to themselves this time as they always have in the past.

Look at this title and guess what it's about: “The Economic Case for Supporting Israel”. If you haven't guessed it yet, look at this subtitle: “America needs the Jewish state's technology and innovation as much as it needs us.” You probably guessed by now that it must be an article published in the Wall Street Journal; another one of those Rupert Murdoch publications. And the answer is: Yup, that's what it is. In fact, the article was written by George Gilder and published on July 5, 2011 in that increasingly infamous newspaper.

In a typically Judeo-Yiddish manner, Gilder starts the article by telling you this: Come closer and let me whisper a great Jewish wisdom in your ear. I know something that is hard for you and for others to believe but I want you to be as enlightened as me. I know what America's enemies understand -- and not just that; I know that they understand it deeply and intuitively. They understand that no US goals or resources in the Middle East are remotely as important as Israel. Did you get this fully and completely? Remember that the operative word here is r-e-m-o-t-e-l-y; no US goals or resources are remotely – get it remotely -- as important as Israel. Then George Gilder asks in despair: Why don't we understand (if only superficially) what our enemies already understand so deeply and so intuitively?

Now that he has enlightened you, he wants to tell you a few more things. He says this: “Israel cruised through the recent global slump with scarcely a down quarter and no deficit or stimulus package.” Wow! Look at this; the man is being honest for a change. The trouble is that he doesn't know why or how he is being honest. But if he has kids in the family like we do in ours, he would know why Israel has cruised through the slump. It is that deficits and stimulus packages are specific to an economy. Israel has no economy; therefore it could not have a deficit or a stimulus package. Like kids here and there and everywhere, Israel lives on allowances given to it voluntarily by the Jews who run businesses elsewhere in the world and by the taxpayers of America who are saddled with an archaic system of governance that allows their Congress to starve them in order to fatten the Israelis. There are 5 million Jews in Israel and 45 million poor people on food stamps in America. The country is keeping nine of its own people in poverty for every Jew it pampers in Israel by sending them money, jet fuel and weapons to kill Palestinians and steal their properties.

On another front, by listing the scientific and technological advances that Israel is supposed to have made but never actually did make except in the world of fantasy, George Gilder does something that is repetitive and tiresome. For me to respond to each entry he blabbers will be like getting into a fart contest with a skunk; and I have no wish to do this. Instead, I shall discuss what the Jewish organizations are trying to accomplish with the Gilder article. So, let me pick up on the issue of water and agriculture about which Gilder makes a big deal.

The record shows that Palestine was known as the land of milk and honey in ancient times and that it was part of the fertile crescent together with the Nile valley and the Tigris and Euphrates ever since. When the Jewish illegal immigrants infiltrated Palestine by stealth carrying bombs and guns they brought with them for the purpose of killing Palestinians and stealing their properties, they took possession of the best productive fields in the world. However, being mostly textile workers, jewelers, cantors and musicians, they didn't know a hole in the ground from a hole in their anatomy. Thus, they did not work the land but sat on it for a long time. To eat, they did what the Hebrew tribes were doing in ancient times; they raided their neighbors and stole food from them. As reported by Walter Cronkite in one of his famous broadcasts, the Israelis were thrilled as late as the Nineteen Sixties by the fact that when they used to raid the Egyptian border outposts, they found: “Enough food to feed Israel for a whole year.” Which they stole, of course, and took back to Israel. A four thousand year old bad habit that never died.

Stealing food from their neighbors has been a method of survival for these people for thousands of years but the method has increasingly become more difficult to practice since the middle of the last century. What the Israelis still find easy to do, however, is steal water from the unarmed Palestinians who are under their military occupation and are banned by America from having weapons of any kind to defend themselves at a time when the Israelis are kept armed to the teeth and well supplies with ammunition by that same America. So how does Israel pay America back for this service? Well, George Gilder has the answer. He says that Israel is teaching America all there is to know about securing water. Well, hello there; let no Canadian hear this. If stealing water from your neighbors is what America has learned from the Israelis, I have news for the Americans: Try to come steal our water here in Canada and see what will happen.

Back to the Israelis. These characters tried to learn farming over many decades but failed miserably. When they could no longer raid their neighbors to steal food, they made peace with the Palestinians that were allowed to remain on the land. And to this day, these Palestinians are the only true farmers that Israel has. Take them away and even America will lack the means to feed Israel for an extended period of time. In the meantime, pretenders regularly go to settle in Israel from places known as the concrete jungles of New York, Toronto, London, Paris and Moscow. Not knowing the difference between a water hose and their urinary track, they buy books with titles like “How to Plant Flowers” and they start to plant flowers for export. Since they do not know how to do the work themselves, they do not even hire their countrymen but hire migrant workers from abroad whom they pay with America's generous grants sent to them courtesy of the US Congress of idiots. But now that America is going bankrupt, the Israeli pretenders are not paying their workers the back wages they owe them. Instead, they are kicking them out of Israel penniless and out of luck.

As for the scientific and technological achievements that Gilder says Israel has made, let me tell you a few stories related to this subject. There was a time when tar sands bearing crude oil became the focus of attention in Morocco and Jordan. The Israelis approached the two Arab governments and whispered in the ear of their officials something to this effect: Boy, have we got a project in the order of the Brooklyn Bridge to sell to you, and we promise you will not have to jump off the project in despair. No, it is not another bridge we have for you but hear this carefully; we have a secret formula that will turn your tar sands into gushing oil, something that will make you richer than Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or anyone who has conventional oil and makes money hand over fist. Trust us, we're Jews and we do not lie.

The Canadian and American corporations and their engineers who were developing the tar sand technology for the Canadian deposits got wind of the Israeli attempts. They took a closer look at what these people boasted was their secret formula and recognized it as the processes they had developed themselves in Alberta and Saskatchewan. They immediately warned that they will take legal action against anyone that participates in the theft of their intellectual property, including the would be victims if they did not kick the Israeli asses and booted these characters out of the country pronto. And the two Arab governments did just that. Shortly thereafter, the internet became widespread, and every time that the Israelis approached someone with a new Brooklyn bridge to sell to them, the people checked on the internet and found that the intellectual property was stolen. And they kicked Jewish asses and they booted them out of the country.

Everyone did so except the American and British governments, that is. What happened in these two cases was that young men writing theses for their Master and PhD degrees speculated as to how Saddam Hussein might be building nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The Israelis and their cohorts in America and Britain stole these works and presented them as discoveries made by reliable sources that could not be identified. They insisted that the work was proof positive that Saddam had the bomb and that he had other WMD. Based on this false evidence the two countries started a war that did as much damage to them as Britain suffered by the ill-fated attack it launched on the Suez Canal on a previous occasion; as much damage as America suffered by the ill-fated adventure it undertook in Vietnam.

And there was the time when the Israelis looked at the work that was carried out in the Arab countries in solar power and windmills. They rubbed their hands thinking to themselves that maybe they could sell a Brooklyn bridge to these people. They went to the Egyptians and told them they had a super secret formula that made their solar cells work better than any cell anywhere in the world and that they wanted to participate in the projects already undertaken by the Egyptians in the field of solar energy. However, knowing that the Israelis could not produce a solar cell that would function any better than the dead brain cells which animate these characters, the Egyptians kicked their asses and booted them out of the country.

And guess what the folks with the dead brain cells did to lick their wounds and nurse their wounded pride. They went to the American network CNBC and invited a crew to go to Israel and do a show about the Israeli “pioneering” advances made in the field of alternative energy. I did not see the show myself but those who saw it tell me that nothing was shown or discussed in the solar or wind conversion. All they had was a pool where bacteria were cultivated to produce flammable gases which they said could someday be used as fuel. What was not said was that the bacteria project was an old idea deemed useless by serious researchers and abandoned a long time ago everywhere in the world. The reason why the Israelis still have it and why they put it on display is because it is the only thing they have in the field of alternative energy. As it turned out, that whole sickly presentation was nothing more than a quack show about a quack project to produce flammable bacteria farts in a pathetic nation of quacks.

The fact of the matter is that if you are going to do research in any field, you must begin by building a viable industry in that field. And to have a viable industrial sector, you must begin with heavy industries such as smelters, foundries and furnaces that produce steel, aluminum, copper and other metals. You then build factories to produce items in the various industries where your scientists, engineers, technicians and workers will gain experience. This is where their ideas will be generated and their insights will come to the fore; all of which will spur further research and development by them and by their collaborators. The setup will enable the team to design new products and new processes which will be recognized as useful innovations. You do all this if you are a real nation with a real economy which Israel is not. What you cannot do is search the internet or steal the work of someone else; and yet these are the only two things which the Israelis can do. The Americans may be fooled by them and buy their Brooklyn bridge, the British may be fooled and buy their Brooklyn bridge and the two may even go to war as a result of the Jewish quack presentations but no one else in the world will be so stupid as to be fooled by them. And this should mean something.

But why did George Gilder bother to make this presentation at all? He did it to use as background through which to tell the Americans what they are doing wrong and what they should be doing instead. What is wrong, he says, is that US policy in the Middle East is crippled by America's preoccupation with Palestinian grievances and their claim for the right to have a state of their own in the West Bank and Gaza. And the way to right this wrong, he adds, is for the Americans to know that without the heroic work in agriculture undertaken by the Jewish textile workers, jewelers, cantors and musicians who forced their way into Palestine, the Palestinian farmers could not have supported one-tenth the number of Palestinians now living on it. What he means to say is that having stolen 72% of Palestine already, the Jews have the right to steal another 18% to bring the figure to 90%. If this boggles your mind as it would any sane person, just remember what was said once before. It was said that there is the old math, the new math, the fuzzy math and now the Jewish math which is based on Jewish logic. If only the Americans learned this logic and this math, says George Gilder, they would not be so crippled. Hell, they may not even need the help that the Israelis are giving them out of the goodness their hearts.

And so he recommends that America recognize the fact that Israel is too small as it is. And contrary to what the world may think, it has an economy; and not only does it have an economy but has a booming economy. Thus, Israel needs every acre it now controls in the West bank where it exercises an autocratic form of rule which is how the thing should remain because Israel's survival depends on it. And above all, says he, Israel needs America's unwavering commitment. This means there should be no daylight between the two – what Israel wants must become what America wants. But because things are never a one-way street, America must face reality and admit that it has been suicidal as of late and that to get out of its defense and economic inferiority where it pushed itself, it will have to depend on Israel's help in these two areas where Israel has a clear superiority over America and everyone else. Failure to do this, says Gilder, will doom not only America but its allies too. There you are. It is as complicated as that yet as simple to understand as this.

What are we to make of this? To answer the question, it is useful to remember that sometime in the Nineteen Sixties, the late Senator Jacob Javits warned that if Israel dies, America too will die. No one asked him to explain the why or the how of the thing. In fact, we did not need to know the answer then because the Jewish organizations have now answered the how part of the question. They did so by showing how they can bring a superpower that was at the apogee of its greatness to the status of a failed state in a little more than 40 years. And what George Gilder wants to do is to answer the why part of the question. To this end, he is demanding that the cycle be repeated to give those same organizations the time to finish off America. When this happens, they will all be able to turn their attention to Asia where they will do what they have been doing for thousands of years; live off someone new like a rejuvenated parasite.

And the American Congress of incorrigible traitors may just give them what they want.
