How
can you explain a scene reminiscent of the Jonestown mass suicide; a scene
unfolding in America this time, during which the President of the United States
stood before the nation and counseled his followers to drink a household
disinfectant that will forever be known as the Donald Trump Kool-Aid.
There
is no doubt that the immediate motivation was that Donald Trump thought it
perfectly acceptable to sacrifice the lives of his 60 million followers, such
that if one of them survives the experiment he, Donald J. Trump the
magnificent, could then stand before the nation and the world, and claim with a
straight face that the one life saved was due to his knowledge of medicine
which exceeds that of all his medical and science advisers put together ...
It's not even close.
But
Donald Trump's motivation did not get to be this immediate without a witch’s
brew in the background percolating for a while to produce it. What could that
brew have been? Well, we get a hint of it from two incidents that have unfolded
in the past week. One of the incidents had to do with Iran launching a
satellite into space, the other had to do with the Israelis once again,
floating the balloon of their desire to emulate Hitler by annexing still more
Palestinian lands.
The
Americans reacted by saying that the Iranians should not have done what they
did, even if they stole nothing from no one. They also reacted by saying that
the Israelis can do what they want without us, Americans, interfering with
their decision even if we're the ones that keep them alive, protected, well
feed, well armed and forcefully belligerent.
The
full implication of what the Americans have said is that they keep out of
Israel's business knowing full well that they do so at a high cost to
themselves both materially and in terms of the moral authority by which they
used to move nations with a single word uttered by their president. Such was
the force of their authority, now diminished to the fertilizer value of a
single flushing from a Jewish toilet … It's not even close.
We
know this to be the reality of the situation because we know how it started and
how it developed to become what it is today. In fact, we have a reminder of the
sordid machinations that went on, in a recent article that was published in the
Jewish online publication, Jewish News Syndicate.
The
article came under the title: “Pro-Israel groups take on Libertarian Republican
Rep. Thomas Massie over record,” and the descriptive blurb that went as
follows: “He was the sole Republican vote against the overwhelmingly passed
July 2019 resolution in the US House of Representatives condemning the
anti-Israel BDS movement and voted against the Never Again Education Act in
January that seeks to expand Holocaust education in America.” It was written by
Jackson Richman, and published on April 23, 2020. What follows is a condensed
version of what came in the article:
“Christians
United for Israel, said that if you're a supporter of Israel, then
Representative Thomas Massie is not representing your views. Massie has always
been a Republican vote against issues outside the powers of Congress. This has
extended into votes on support for Israel. As a result of Massie's record, a
few pro-Israel groups endorsed his Republican primary opponent Todd McMurtry.
The Republican Jewish Coalition said it would not support Congressman Massie.
It has decided to endorse and fundraise for his GOP primary opponent, Todd
McMurtry, and will be activating its nationwide team of volunteers to contact
voters in Massie's district to explain why it is so important to support
McMurtry: He supports Israel. Another group, 'Pro-Israel America,' announced
that it would also support McMurtry. It is committed to help elect pro-Israel
candidates. It said that Tom Massie has one of the worst records on the
US-Israel relationship in Congress”.
That
passage describes what Donald Trump grew up believing will be a perfect model
for him to emulate. It is the Jewish model that puts the self at the center of
everything. Before Israel, the Jews embraced an issue only if it was good for
the Jews. When Israel came into being, a chunk of the Jewish rank-and-file,
switched from asking: “Is it good for the Jews?” to asking “Is it good for
Israel.” Either way, the narcissistic impulse has been the deciding factor in
the choices that were made by Jews. What this leads them to do, to be sure, is
sacrifice anything and everything to reward the self, regardless of the
consequences to others.
Loyal
to America, Thomas Massie was duty bound to consistently vote for what he
believed was good for America. The Jews, on the other hand, who are loyal only
to Israel and use America to maintain Israel afloat, have consistently wanted
those in the Congress and elsewhere in politics, to sacrifice the interests of
America to promote those of Israel.
This
model so appealed to Donald Trump he saw nothing wrong in asking his followers
to commit suicide for his sake. He thought that this will give him the chance
to generate a few seconds of adulation while standing in front of a crowd,
claiming to be more knowledgeable in medicine than the doctors and scientists
who are advising him.
