The Lobby's Greatest Threat

Which explains the attacks and treatment in the AmeriKan MSM.

Not that the Communist Chinese are a bunch of great guys, but you must understand the Zionist Supremacist filter that Americans get their news from to understand how and why events are portrayed as they are, readers.

"Israel Lobby Faces Greatest Threat--From China

"February 14, 2008

Have you followed the controversy over SWF's--sovereign wealth funds--investing in the U.S.? They might change our foreign policy! Globalism bites back. And Lawrence Summers--who once held the line against divestment efforts at Harvard--justifies "xenophobia" toward the SWF's because we don't know what their agenda is. And you thought I was the only one worried about cabals and dual loyalty! The Times coverage specifically brings up the Israel problem:

some experts say it may be hard to draw the line if, for example, a Persian Gulf country tries to curb an American bank’s ability to do business with Israel...

Which is to say the potential crisis facing the Israel lobby right now is economic in character. When the U.S. ceases to be the top dog in the world economically, influence in Washington will mean less and less.

Leon Hadar, the realist adviser to Ron Paul, makes the same point in an email about changes in political climate:

AIPAC's influence is tied to the current political status quo in Washington and it's in the interest of Israel and its supporters to preserve it. Hillary and McCain are familiar figures. They are predictable. They can be counted on. Obama and Paul are "unknowns." They are not in the pockets of lobbyists and contributors. They could become a Carter. Hence the fears.

They [supporters] have to understand that the world and America are changing: rise of China and India (with no guilt feelings about anti-Semitism and the Holocaust), a more assertive EU and the decline in U.S. power coupled with major demographic changes in America (less number of Jews, more Hispanics, blacks coming to power, etc.). I'm worried that one day historians will suggest that the Israelis have failed to take advantage of the window of opportunity (1989 - 2007) when U.S. power was at its height to achieve a sensible agreement with the Palestinians and the Arab world, and instead joined (and in a way, led) a futile and costly confrontation with "Islam-Fascism."

My view has always been that "normalizing" ties with Israel will be good for the U.S. and Israel since the dependency on Washington is creating disincentives for change in policy in Israel. And taking into the consideration that America is not going to remain in the Middle East forever.

Update:

"China Calls Spying Accusations Baseless"

"China denied Thursday that it was conducting espionage operations in the United States, rebutting accusations by the Justice Department this week that four people had passed military secrets to the Chinese government.

The spying accusations were baseless and undermined relations between the two countries, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Liu Jianchao, said at a regular news conference.

“We urge the U.S. to stop its cold war thinking and stop groundless accusations and do more to contribute to mutual trust and friendship between our two peoples,” Mr. Liu said. “I think everyone is weary of this kind of farce and it should end.”

Not as long as the Zionists are controlling U.S. foreign policy, sir.

Sorry.
