The two bad Legs of a three-legged Stool

What would you do if you noticed that your three legged stool has two damaged legs? You would fix these two, would you not? You'll do so because you know that if you don't, you'll end up with a severe pain in the ass … or an injury that could be a lot more serious.

This is where America finds itself these days. It has a population that wants to remain whole and sturdy but it knows it can no longer do so because it stands on two wobbly legs that are about to collapse. One of the legs is the ambassador to the United Nations projecting America's face to the world. The other is a press that's in charge of reflecting America and the world to the American population.

Nikki Haley is America's ambassador to the United Nations. She is the woman that ran around bragging she was the first man or woman to rape the population of her own State when she was governor. She says she is proud she used the powers of the State to force her subjects to consume – not what they want to consume but – what the Jews of Israel want them to. Now that she wields the powers of the United States government, she aims to use them to force the world to accept – if not love – the anti-Palestinian criminal activities of Israel's Jews.

When a report came out describing these activities as being those of an apartheid regime, Nikki Haley said this: “The United States stands with Israel and will continue to oppose anti-Israel actions across the UN system and around the world.” She meant it as a direct affront to the conclusion of a report that was summarized as follows: “The weight of the evidence supports beyond a reasonable doubt the proposition that Israel is guilty of imposing an apartheid regime on the Palestinian people, which amounts to the commission of a crime against humanity, the prohibition of which is considered jus cogens in international customary law.” Jus cogens means that the law is so absolute, it does not allow for exceptions … not to please the Jews; not to please Haley.

The summary of that report is 2700 words long, and could easily have been printed in the New York Times, thus help generate a meaningful discussion regarding a subject that so dominates the American scene, there is nothing the people can do at home or abroad without bumping into something Jewish. But for some obscure reason, the editors of the New York Times chose not to print that summary.

Instead of doing that, the editors printed an article that's twice as long and critical of Egypt. The intent is to show the American people – not that Egypt is an apartheid state but – that its rulers talk to dissidents who disturb the peace far more seriously than those for which American dissidents get pepper-sprayed if they are lucky, or get shot in the back running away if so unlucky as to have been born with the wrong skin color.

That article came under the title: “How Egypt's Activists Became 'Generation Jail'” and the subtitle: “Six years after the Arab Spring, the country's democracy activists live under constant threat of prison – or worse.” It was written by Joshua Hammer and published on March 14, 2017 in the NY Times.

Writing about an Egyptian dissident named Maher of the April 6 movement, Joshua Hammer says this: “A judge found Maher guilty of illegal demonstration, rioting and thuggery and sentenced him to three years in jail. Another judge added six months for verbally assaulting a public officer while on duty in court.” Hammer goes on to explain what it means to be in jail in Egypt: “Low risk felons have the right to have their surveillance inside the home with a guard downstairs.” This is called house-arrest in some places.

Look what else happened to the Egyptian dissident named Maher and his comrades: “Sisi greeted them respectfully, Maher recalled. He said you are heroes but now we need you to stop demonstrating … Maher and the others rejected Sisi's request. Over the next six months Maher met with Sisi three times”.

But what was the problem? Why could they not reach an agreement with President Sisi? Hammer answers these questions as follows: “The [April 6] leaders searched for a strategy: 'we didn't have a vision … we didn't have an answer for what comes next,'” they admitted.

Bear in mind that all this was happening at a time when: “After years of turmoil, Egyptians were desperate for stability, and April 6 suddenly found itself lacking any popular support.” And that's the bottom line.

With a Jewish dominated foreign policy and a Jewish dominated press, the American people alone are hard pressed trying to keep their ship of state from sinking into irrelevance. They have a big repair job to do.
