How Israel dented US economy

Zaheerul Hassan & Sajjad Shaukat

According to Israeli news agency, on May 7, 2013, Israel’s Ministry of Finance published a new austerity economic plan, with a view to reduce the country’s 11 billion U.S. dollars of budget deficit. The Israeli cabinet will vote on the new budget, along with the Economic Arrangements Bill, which includes legislative changes as part of the economic policy. But focus of covert agenda of Israeli budget designers will remain to keep on yelling in the name of Israeli defence and force the Jewish Lobby to guard Tel vive interests against Arabs and Iran.
From the very outset it would not be wrong in saying that Israel has caused termite effects in US economy. A country that used to rule global economy forced to accept bailout package from her traditional rival China. Let analyze that whether President Obama, now in his second tenure in Whitehouse will be successful to put the country’s economy on track.
Although, US as per Obama exit policy will say Goodbye to Afghan region by 2014 but Israel will keep on milking US economy in the name Iran nuclear programe.
Notably, since the September 11 tragedy, Israel and Jews who had overtly and covertly jumped on Bush’s anti-terrorism enterprise in order to targeting Pakistan, Iran and China in particular and other Islamic countries in general have been damaging their global economic interests by manipulating the US war on terror.
On the other side, in the aftermath of 9/11, various suicide attacks in Israel, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Spain, Britain etc., and an unending wave of the same in Iraq and Afghanistan shows that the Muslim revolutionaries are giving a greater setback to the world economic which especially safeguards the interests of the Jews at the cost of the small states which have become arena of this new style conflict.
It is notable that many big cartels of the world are owned by the Jews. By controlling the major multinational corporations, arms factories, five star hotels, oil companies, liquor business, food industries, mining and mineral resources, banks, film industry, print and electronic media on international level-having influence on the financial institutes like World Bank and International Monetary Fund, Jews have direct and indirect hold on the global economy.
In this regard, many intellectuals like Don Allen and others reveal, “the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was founded in New York City by Col. Edward Mandell House (real name: Haus-Jewish), chief adviser to President Woodrow Wilson, in league with stockholders of the Federal Reserve Bank…was part of a conspiracy to gain control of both US political parties to use them as instruments…seventy-three percent of the members of the Council on Foreign Relations are Jews. There are a number of organizations that comprise the Invisible Government that runs America and the world- from behind the scenes. A Jewish group is in control of national governments and multinational corporations, promotes world government through control of the military, media, foundation grants and education including NGOs…and controls and guides the issues of the day, and thus they control most options available. They will manage the money, the land, the food, and the guns-of everyone in the world.”
According to Ted Pike, “almost every substantial library in America contains a number of books confirming such Jewish control.
The extent of Jewish grip on the US Administration and American policies could also be judged from the observation of Mike Stathis who, while quoting Senator William J., writes, “The great majority of the Senate of the United States…somewhere around 80 percent…are completely in support of Israel, anything Israel wants. This has been demonstrated time and again.” And “without the all out support by the US in money and weapons and so on the Israelis could not do what they have been doing.”
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is a lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel policies to the Congress and Executive Branch of the United States. The New York Times has described it as “the most important organization affecting America’s relationship with Israel,” while other sources calls it “as one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, DC stating that it “acts as an agent of the Israeli government with a stranglehold on the US Congress with its power and influence.”
However, Jews who shape and mould the American foreign policies including those of some western countries in one or the other way have also got the services of some Hindus and Americans so as to continue their anti-Muslim campaign. In this respect, by availing the ongoing international phenomena of terrorism, Jewish-Hindu lobbies are collectively working in America and other European countries to manipulate the double standards of the west in relation to terrorism and human rights vis-à-vis Pakistan, Iran and China in particular and Syria, Libya, Yemen, Egypt etc. in general in wake of the violent protests and uprising in these Middle East states. Particularly Israel and India are equating the ‘war of independence’ in Kashmir and Palestine with terrorism. If New Delhi considers Pakistan as her enemy number one, Tel Aviv takes Iran in the same sense especially due to its nuclear programme which is also negated by the US. Israel is also against Pakistan as it is the only nuclear Islamic country.
It is due to the Jewish control over world media and collective secret alliance of American CIA, Israeli Mossad and Indian RAW that some Indian, Israeli and western politicians have introduced dangerous socio-religious dimension in their societies by equating the “war on terror” with “war on Islam” and acts of Al Qaeda with all the Muslims. Their media have also been contributing to heighten the currents of world politics on cultural and religious lines with the negative projection of Islam. In this connection, reprinting of the caricatures about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and release of a Dutch film against the Holy Quran in the recent past might be noted as an example.
It is noteworthy that in a prolonged war of more than ten years, despite heavy aerial bombardment and ground shelling in Iraq, Afghanistan and now in Pakistan through intermittent drone attacks, US-led forces have badly failed in obtaining their objectives. These tactics have killed more innocent civilians-created massive resentment against Washington, and have been expediting the radicalism among the young men, turning them into suicide bombers, giving a greater setback to the security of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
US-led different war between the sovereign and non-sovereign entities has proved that big powers have failed in crushing the power of the Islamic militants on global and regional level through armed forces, equipped with sophisticated weaponry. Such a state terrorism by the sole superpower has resulted into more terrorism from Somalia to Iraq and Nigeria to Afghanistan, while destabilizing the economy of the whole world which is in fact dominated by the Jews.
America whose external policy is directed by the Jews intends to convert particularly Pakistan into a “failed state” by causing political and economic instability as a perennial wave of suicide attacks, bomb blasts and targeted killings sponsored by CIA, RAW and Mossad coupled with the US threat of high-value targets inside the country indicates. Besides, Washington is going to act upon exit strategy from Afghanistan, so it has started shifting Afghan war in Pakistan. Nevertheless, such an ill-conceived strategy will create external insecurity which is likely to further harm America’s larger geo-political and economic interests on regional and international level.
While taking cognizance of the US-led prolonged war on terror, decline of dollars, heavy cost of war and intensity of financial crisis which severely hit the economy of the US in particular and other European countries in general-in the present era of globalization of markets, multi-nationals and media networks, even western think-tanks have recognized inter-relationship between peace, economics, politics and terrorism. Now, they agree in light of the US failed strategy against terrorism and defeatism in Afghanistan that religious fanaticism and stiff resistance of the Islamic militants are linked to political and economic injustices.
Under the pretext of terrorism, it is because of anti-Muslim developments that a greater resentment is being found among the Muslims who think that the US in connivance with the Jewish-Hindu lobbies is sponsoring state terrorism, directly or indirectly in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir and Palestine including other countries of the Middle East and Africa.
Nonetheless, if Jews want to protect their economic and financial interests in the modern world of today, they should abandon the old theories of Machiavelli, Morgenthau, Waltz and Kissinger who emphasized power as the main determinant of international relations, endorsing the principle of might is right. Otherwise, Muslim militants, fighting against the imperialist powers through ambush assaults, rocket attacks and suicide bombers have broken the myth of old model of power-based theories which only safeguard the economic interests of the Jews which are well-penetrated in the US and other western countries, and want to continue present war against the Islamic radicals. In this regard, in a short war of 2006, Tel Aviv and American Jews should also learn a lesson from Israel’s defeat by the non-state entity-Hezbollah.
No doubt, experience of war against terrorism has now clearly proved that the militants are bringing about instability in the world economy dominated by the Jews visibly and invisibly. So Jews are rapidly damaging their own economic and financial interests in a word which has changed into a global village. In this context, Jewish interests demand peace and security in the world.
For this purpose, they must give up conspiracies against Pakistan, Iran, China and other Arab countries. They must also play a positive role in resolving the thorny issues of Kashmir and Palestine.
In short, the US masses and leadership probably have started realizing now to mend the American economic plans and there is no need to get blackmailed in the hands of Israeli Jews. They also realized to settle the ME issue to become again a sole global economic power.

Delay on cabinet picks affects Obama’s agenda

Laura Litvan


Senate Republicans are delaying at least two Cabinet-level nominations with potential effects on industries, complicating President Obama’s second-term agenda.
Obama’s choices to lead the Labor Department and the Environmental Protection Agency have been delayed by feuds over their past positions and the policies of departments they aspire to lead. His nominee to lead the Energy Department had been stalled, though an agreement was reached late Thursday for a confirmation vote.
All Republicans on a panel that was scheduled to vote Thursday on Gina McCarthy’s nomination to head the EPA delayed it by refusing to show up. An unidentified Republican on May 8 postponed for a week a panel vote on Labor Secretary nominee Thomas Perez, as party leaders announced they oppose him.
A single senator had stalled a full Senate vote on Energy Secretary nominee Ernest Moniz.
“The confirmation process is increasingly turning into a hostage situation,” said Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J.
The Senate earlier this year had disputes over the confirmations of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan.
The current delays may be a warm-up to what could be a contentious confirmation process for Chicago businesswoman and Obama fundraiser Penny Pritzker to lead the Commerce Department.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, denounced what he said are Republican stalling tactics on the nominations.
“Republicans will use any procedural roadblock or stall tactic available to deny the President qualified nominees,” Reid said Thursday on the Senate floor. “But my Republican colleagues can try every trick in the book. I assure you Mr. Perez will have his day in the Senate. I assure you Ms. McCarthy will have her day in the Senate.”
White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday that Senate Republicans should “stop the theater” and move on with McCarthy’s nomination. He told reporters traveling with the president to an event in Texas that the administration remains confident the nominees eventually will be confirmed.
Senate Republican leaders say the criticism is unfounded, and that the recent holdups are part of a careful examination of nominees whose records raise important questions.
“We’ve processed a lot of nominations, but some of the nominees the president has put up are really problematic,” said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the second-ranking Republican leader. “Congress has a role to play, in terms of advice and consent. They need to relax a bit and let the Senate do its job.”
The Cabinet-level nominations have encountered roadblocks for different reasons.
Perez, now the Justice Department’s top civil rights lawyer, has differed with Republicans over his handling of two whistle-blower lawsuits that the Justice Department declined to pursue. They were part of a deal in which St. Paul, Minnesota, agreed to drop a case being appealed to the Supreme Court in return for the department withdrawing from the other cases. The Supreme Court case risked striking down an enforcement tool used by Justice in housing discrimination cases.
At his confirmation hearing last month, Perez clashed with Republicans over the lawsuits. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, added muscle to growing partisan opposition this week, calling Perez a “crusading ideologue” with a history of twisting the law to win desired outcomes.
An unidentified Republican senator invoked a seldom-used Senate rule to delay a planned committee vote until next week. Meanwhile, McConnell spokesman Don Stewart said it’s clear Perez will need backing from at least 60 senators to end delaying tactics by opponents.
McCarthy’s detractors said that their decision to avoid the planned panel vote had less to do with her than with the agency’s actions. Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, the top Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said the EPA refused to fully answer a series of questions he posed that relate to transparency over the agency’s development and analysis of clean-air rules. McCarthy is now the EPA’s assistant administrator for air pollution.
The confirmation of Moniz, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology physics professor, was approved by the Energy and Natural Resources Committee on a 21-1 vote in April. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., had placed a “hold” on a floor vote to protest the administration’s recommended cuts to a plutonium processing plant in his home state.
Reid announced late Thursday that an agreement had been reached to debate and vote on Moniz’s nomination.
In 2012, Republicans — facing record-low approval ratings and White House accusations that they were obstructionists — decided against holding up confirmations to protest the president’s appointment of officials while Congress was on a holiday break.
On Jan. 4, 2012, Obama bypassed Senate confirmation and installed the first US consumer financial watchdog — a position Republicans wanted to abolish — and three new members to the National Labor Relations Board. Republicans debated holding up nominations, though later let judicial and executive- branch picks move through the chamber, which Democrats control with 55 votes.
This month’s delays return the Senate to the confirmation battles of 2011. Republicans that year for months held up a vote on former Edison International Chief Executive Officer John Bryson, Obama’s choice for commerce secretary, until the White House forwarded pending trade deals for South Korea, Panama and Colombia to Congress for approval.
Some nominees, including Federal Reserve board choice Peter Diamond, withdrew their names from consideration that year because of delays.
Obama’s nomination last week of Tom Wheeler, a venture capitalist and former lobbyist, to lead the Federal Communications Commission may face a confirmation fight amid a cool reception from Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Virginia
“What’s unusual is the number of these disputes that are breaking out now,” said John Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California
He said the number of current disputes over Obama’s nominees is partly because the balance of power didn’t shift in Washington after the 2012 election. Republicans, he said, are starting to look to the 2014 congressional elections, and a 2016 presidential contest when Obama will have left the stage.
“The president is now a lame duck,” Pitney said. “Second-term presidents don’t have the same energy and influence they had. The laws of political gravity are taking hold, and some nominees are getting pulled down as a result.”
