How to recognize an American impersonator

It is the history of most species on Planet Earth that they originate in one place and migrate to populate other places they find hospitable to their way of life. This is certainly true of the human species that ended up populating the entire planet.

 

Something curious about some of the lower species, suggests something just as curious about us, human beings. It is that when you study the life pattern of the sea turtle, the salmon, the monarch butterfly and others, you find that they are born in one place on the planet, go to live in another place then return to where they were born to breed before going back to the adopted place, or breed a new generation and die where they were born. Could it be that we, humans have this tendency written into our DNA?

 

What gives that question legitimacy is that people who migrate from where they were born and grew up to another place, develop nostalgia for where they came from, return to it and stay for good, or visit once in a while, as long as they have the means to do so. Is this the same as the tendency exhibited by the sea turtle, the salmon and the monarch butterfly? Or is it different, and more like the tendency exhibited by homing pigeons and dogs who, when taken to a place away from home, return home? Could this be a human-like expression of affection for the old homestead?

 

It is important to explore that last question because its ramifications are so enormous, it would be foolish to ignore them. The thing is that the human brain is capable of imagining places that were never seen, and situations that were never attended. Because of this, people can develop an affinity, even an attraction for places and people they only heard about; also develop a model for them (often an ideal one) in their imagination. When, in addition to that, these people are told that such a place exists, that it is theirs because God gave it to them, but that someone lives there now, the attraction can turn fatal, and the paradigm transforms into a powder keg such as Palestine is today.

 

This brings us to the article that came under the title: “Is Biden back to talks with Iran?” and the subtitle: “President is desperate for a win at any cost.” It was written by Abraham Wagner, and published on November 16, 2021 in The Washington Times. Even if the headlines suggest that the article is about Iran, the reality is that Palestine remains at the heart of the situation in which Iran only plays a peripheral role.

 

What happened was that centuries ago, Jews such as Abraham Wagner, were told stories about a God who made a far-reaching decision about tribes calling themselves Jews. Even though the Almighty used to reveal himself frequently back then, He no longer does that now, but never explained why. In any case, that was the time that He made the Jews his favorite children but here too, never explained why them and not someone else. Still, He promised them the Land of Milk and Honey known as Palestine, without first consulting with the Palestinian people, let alone offer to compensate them for the grand larceny of stealing their country and giving it to others for no apparent reason.

 

As it turned out, the Jews who renamed the land Israel, proved to be hungrier for the properties of other people than God had anticipated. In fact, as soon as they settled in Palestine-cum-Israel, they started to plot taking more real estate from the neighboring countries. Even though Iran is not an immediate neighbor of Israel, the Jews tried to make it an ally of theirs. When this did not work as expected, the Jews made Iran their most formidable enemy.

 

Powered by a paranoia more powerful than a warp engine, the Jews of Israel and America developed horrific hallucinations about Iran building nuclear weapons and bombing Israel into a final holocaust. When America negotiated a deal with Iran to make sure this will not happen, a new American administration torpedoed the deal. But then, that same administration was itself torpedoed out of the White House. The one that replaced it started to work on reviving the old deal with Iran, and that’s what stirred the ire of Abraham Wagner, motivating him to write the article that he did.

 

So then, what is Abraham Wagner saying in that article, and what does the article say about him? Here in condensed form, is what he wrote:

 

“Talks with Iran to restore the nuclear agreement have been postponed. President Joe Biden is desperate for a win and looking to restart the negotiations. Barack Obama kicked the can with a deal needed for his legacy. Mr. Biden reentering the deal is no solution. US credibility after the withdrawal from Afghanistan is low. Israel has a covert campaign to assassinate Iran’s nuclear scientists and sabotage their facilities. Israel’s Chief-of-Staff, has stated that operations to destroy Iranian capabilities will continue. Mr. Blinken’s call for a mutual return to compliance is nonsense. Mr. Biden would never submit a new agreement for Congressional approval. Israelis are expressing dismay about the lack of a serious military option. The Biden White House needs to consider what they will do when they get the call from the Israelis. Mr. Biden has no intention of applying pressure on Iran. He is desperate for a win and may reenter the old agreement. A win might help to boost his poll numbers, but it would be a step in the wrong direction”.

 

This says what it says about America and Israel. It also says what it says about the leadership of superpower America, as well as that of tiny Israel. And it makes clear that Abraham Wagner is Israeli through and through, which makes him an American impersonator.
