Trump’s new cabinet is great news for Israel
Philip Giraldi: The new cabinet might be even worse than the old one. Some are joking that it should be called MIGA instead of MAGA. An Israeli newspaper says the Israeli government and Trump’s team are already in discussions regarding how to remove Iran’s government.
Greenwald: False narrative about Orlando shooting shows the power of media propaganda
Politicians & activists should stop ratifying the fiction that the shooter was motivated by anti-LGBT hatred. It dishonors the victims, purveys anti-Muslim misinformation, and obscures the real motive. Mateen, like so many others who committed similar acts of violence, was motivated by rage over Obama’s bombing campaigns in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan that killed multitudes of men, women, and children. He chose PULSE at random without even knowing it was a gay club — yet this media-consecrated lie continues to fester.
Would Israel Blackmail a US Congressman? Should there be any doubt?
There are indications that Israel may have been behind the alleged extortion of Congressman Matt Gaetz’ father… Presumably, Israel was prepared to use its political clout with Congress & the media to make Gaetz’ problems go away, in return for the money to fund a commando raid that would free Iranian prisoner Robert Levinson – delivering a blow to Iran and a major propaganda victory for Israel…

U.S. is in Middle East ‘to protect Israel’ not for oil, Trump says
Donald Trump recently said the U.S. isn’t involved in the Middle East for oil, but because we “want to protect Israel.” The comments have gone all but unreported in the mainstream press. (Contains videos)
Biden or Trump will mean four more years of cheerleading for Israel
Both candidates will likely do Israel’s bidding… More and more Democrats support Palestinian rights, but rather than repudiate Trump’s record, Biden has sought to outcompete Trump for the title of most unwavering, uncritical supporter of Israel. His officials have plenty of evidence from Biden’s half-century at the top of US politics…
UAE deal shows: world leaders see Israel lobby as a gatekeeper in Washington
The United Arab Emirates is seeking more support from the United States, and it believes it must go through Israel to get it. Other nations also understand the power of the Israel lobby in the US… Egypt, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Honduras, Qatar, Tunisia, Congo, Venezuela… Obama himself acknowledged the lobby’s gatekeeper role when he reached out to Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in order to hire Hillary Clinton as secretary of state… So in his most important appointment, Obama needed to show ‘credibility’ with the Israeli government and its lobby…
