America not yet a Retiring Grandma

Let's begin this discussion by imagining a scene that happens something like 400,000 times a day on this Planet. A baby that is a few months old is taking its first step under the gaze of the parents, perhaps the grandparents too; even a few friends of the family. There is great joy in the room, and tears begin to wet grandma's eyes. She is not saying it but in the quiet of her thought, she is thinking: I am not afraid to die anymore because I know I shall continue to live in that child.

Of course, we do not rejoice when we see an adult walk because we take it for granted that this is what an adult normally does. Unless, of course ... unless that adult was badly injured in an accident or a war, and was unable to walk for many years. Now, after intense therapy that lasted all that time, the miracle that was thought impossible is looking promising because the adult is taking tentative steps like he did when he was a baby. And those looking at him rejoice more than the onlookers did when seeing a baby take its first step.

The above scenes were meant to serve as a metaphor representing an America that seems capable again of doing something it took for granted previously: acting in a bipartisan fashion for the good of the nation – this time writing a budget. America used to do it with ease before, and did it for many decades as a matter of normal routine. It then lost that ability, and remained missing in the wilderness of political governance for a number of years. Only now, the country is beginning to show signs that it can be itself again, thus looks like a beginner that is learning anew how to do something that is not self-destructive but good for its people.

And so, the question that comes to mind is this: Has America been so badly injured that when it comes to governing itself, it looks like a wounded soldier learning to walk again? If yes, how was it that America got hurt? To answer these questions, we can look at an article that was written by Norman Podhoretz under the title: “Strike Iran Now to Avert Disaster Later” and the subtitle: “A conventional-weapons attack is preferable to the nuclear war sure to come.” It was published in the Wall Street Journal on December 12, 2013. It is the sort of advice that turned a healthy America into a disabled body lost in the middle of nowhere, and watched over by vultures waiting for it to expire so that they may feed on its rotting flesh.

Podhoretz wants America to resume doing what hurt it before because he represents the vultures that got the country in that situation in the first place. He is horrified to see America show the promise that it will walk again, so he let out a desperate shout, commanding it to “strike Iran” and resume the war against humanity that the Jews have been recruiting suckers to wage on their behalf for nearly four millenniums.

He begins his presentation by pulling an old Jewish trick out of the hat. He does it by describing an old consensus that was never there unless you count people like himself as forming a consensus representing the entire nation even when no one else was on board. Podhoretz then declares that the old consensus did not work, and tries to lay out a new plan he will no doubt call consensus even before anyone had heard of it. The fact that he thought about it will be good enough to make him think that the plan is so absolute in its perfection, everyone will agree with it.

He tries to shove the plan down the throat of the American people because he sees that a consensus is forming; one that was negotiated by real Americans doing what was necessary to help their country get back on its feet. These Americans – some of them Jewish – worked with friends and allies, and hammered a deal with Iran that will be good for America and the world. But Podhoretz laments that the plan will never work because it does not show a way to bombing Iran into the Stone Age which is what he and his likes have always wanted even if it meant taking America back to the wilderness where the vultures wait for rotting flesh to come and wait for death.

He does not see President Obama allowing this to happen, and so he expresses that his “only hope now rests with Israel.” To make it sound like it would be a good thing for Israel to start something that will pull America into the fray; he describes an alternative that will result in “unspeakable horror” befalling humanity. This is another Jewish trick, and it has a name; it is called: “Rape in the name of virginity.” It is what Israel and world Jewry have been doing to the region with American help for several decades, and telling themselves it is what made America what it is today, the obedient Jewish colony that Imperial Japan could never have dreamed of.

The problem with that fantasy is that America is not a grandma yet, and she is not ready to die. She wants her sons and daughters to live and have grand children of their own before she decides to retire and pass the baton to someone else. The country is back again working in a bipartisan way, not to carry out the Jewish commands, but carry out the wishes of the American people that elected its representatives.

Will these representatives now continue to behave like adults, or will the call of the Jewish wild send them back to the wilderness where rotting flesh goes to die?
