Wake up Americans take back your country



Recently I have been having a change of heart about Americans. Like my country of origin I have a love hate relationship with America. During the Clinton years I was quite pro American. Its only the disproportionate attack on muslim countries and on muslims that had nothing to do with the the attacks on America that has made me very negative about American influence.



I mean I was never chenglike irrationally pro america but hey I live in the west, I wear jeans, enjoy American music, American movies etc I admire the past American habit of welcoming persecuted minorities. Freedom of worship etc, have time for their constitution and their founding forefathers.



I have American friends and most of them if not all are good decent human beings. Recently I have been taking an interest in american groups or american people who are anti american govt.



So how do good people end up in a democracy with a nasty govt. After all in a democracy the people are supposed to elect their govt.



Then I remembered that in America as in other countries money controls the press, for example some Americans are brainwashed by the likes of Fox news. Fox news is owned by a rich bloke called Murdoch and they obviously reflect or choose to subliminally to control people into thinking their opinions are important and right. But then reading various articles on democracy in America I realised the massive influence of AIPAC. Simply this is a group of wealthy Zionists. They are disciplined organised and have money. They are clearly subverting American democracy. They are forcing the American govt to have foreign policies that are not in my opinion the best for American but for Israelis. Unlike Osama who wanted to to change american opinion by force these zionists are very subtle in their control of media..



The Zionist lobby is so strong that it has created an America where even simply questioning their hold they have on America or their activities is regarded sufficient to get labelled anti semitic. In Europe similar exists and here people are on a constant guilt trip about what Hitler did to the Jews awful as that was it does not mitigate in any way what Zionists are doing today in Palestine.



In this regard I would ask you guys to read this article I have found and then lets try to encourage americans to take america back from Israelis



How the Israeli Lobby Works to Subvert Democracy


By Jeff Gates

In the early 1960s, the late Sen. William J. Fulbright (D-Ark.) fought to force the American Zionist Council to register as agents of a foreign government. The council eluded registration by reorganizing as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. AIPAC has since become what Fulbright most feared: a foreign agent dominating American foreign policy while disguised as a domestic lobby.

Israelis and pro-Israelis object when they hear that charge. How, they ask, can we so few wield such influence over so many? Answer: it’s all in the math and in the single-issue advocacy brought to bear on U.S. policy- making by dozens of “domestic” organizations that compose the Israel lobby, with AIPAC its most visible force.

Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) enthusiasm for all things Israeli ensured him the GOP nomination to succeed Christian-Zionist G.W. Bush. McCain’s style of campaign finance reform proved a perfect fit for the diaspora-based fundraising on which the lobby relies. (“Diaspora” refers to Jews living outside Israel.—Ed.)

Co-sponsored by Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), this change in federal election law typifies how Israeli influence became systemic.

“McCain-Feingold” raised the amount (from $1,000 to $2,300) that candidates can receive from individuals in primary and general elections. A couple can now contribute a combined $9,200 to federal candidates: $4,600 in each of the primary and in general elections. Primary elections, usually low budget, are particularly easy to sway.

Importantly for the diaspora, this change also doubled the funds candidates can receive without regard to where those contributors reside. A candidate in Iowa, say, may have only a few pro-Israel constituents.When campaign support is provided by a nationwide network of pro-Israelis, that candidate can more easily be persuaded to support policies sought by Tel Aviv.

Diaspora-based fundraising has long been used by the lobby with force-multiplying success to shape U.S. foreign policy. Under the guise of reform, McCain doubled the financial resources that the lobby can deploy to elect and retain its supporters.

The influence-peddling process works like this. Candidates are summoned for in-depth AIPAC interviews. Those found sufficiently committed to Israel’s agenda are provided a list of donors likely to “max out” their campaign contributions. Or the process can be made even easier when AIPAC-approved candidates are given the name of a “bundler.”

Bundlers raise funds from the diaspora and bundle those contributions to present them to the candidate. No quid pro quo need be mentioned. After McCain-Feingold became law in 2003, AIPAC-identified bundlers could raise $1 million-plus for AIPAC-approved candidates simply by contacting 10 like-minded supporters. Here’s the math:



The bundler and spouse “max out” for $9,200 and call 10 others, say in Manhattan, Miami, and Beverly Hills. Each of them maxes out ($10 x $9,200) and calls 10 others for a total of 111. [111 x $9,200 = $1,021,200.]

Imagine the incentive a candidate has to do well in the AIPAC interview. One call from the lobby and a candidate can collect enough cash to mount a credible campaign in most congressional districts. From Tel Aviv’s perspective, that political leverage is leveraged yet again because only about 10 percent of the 435 House races are competitive in any election cycle (typically 35 to 50).

Additional force-multipliers come from: (a) sustaining this financial focus over multiple cycles, (b) using funds to gain and retain seniority for those serving on congressional committees key to promoting Israeli goals, and (c) opposing candidates who question those goals.

Jewish Achievement reports that 42 percent of the largest political donors to the 2000 election cycle were Jewish, including four of the top five. That compares to less than 2 percent of Americans who are Jewish. Of the Forbes 400 richest Americans, 25 percent are Jewish according to Michael Steinhardt, a key founder of the Democratic Leadership Council. The DLC was led by Jewish Zionist Sen. Joe Lieberman ( I-Conn.) when he resigned in 2000 to run for vice president with pro-Israeli presidential candidate Al Gore.

Money was never a constraint. Pro-Israel donors were limited only by how much they could lawfully contribute to AIPAC-screened candidates. McCain- Feingold raised a key limit. The full impact of this foreign influence has yet to be tallied. What’s known, however, is sufficient to apply the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Of the top 50 neo-conservatives who advocated the attack on Iraq, 26 were Jewish.

Harry Truman, a Christian Zionist, remains one of the more notable recipients of funds. In 1948, he was trailing badly in the polls and in fundraising. His prospects brightened dramatically in May after he recognized as a legitimate state an enclave of Jewish extremists who originally planned to settle in Argentina before putting their sights on Palestine.

That recognition was opposed by Secretary of State George C. Marshall, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the bulk of the diplomatic corps, the fledgling Central Intelligence Agency and numerous distinguished Americans, including moderate and secular Jews concerned at the troubles that were certain to follow. Not until 1984 was it revealed that a network of Jewish Zionists had funded Truman’s campaign by financially refueling his whistle-stop campaign train with $400,000 in cash ($3 million in 2009 dollars).

Until then, Truman was badly trailing Dewey. His election was a great upset. To buy time on the public’s airwaves, money raised from the Israel lobby’s network is paid to media outlets largely owned or managed by members of the same network. Presidents, senators and congressmen come and go but those who collect the checks rack up the favors that amass lasting political influence.

The U.S. system of government is meant to ensure that members of the House represent the concerns of Americans who reside in congressional districts—not a nationally dispersed network (a diaspora) committed to advancing the agenda of a foreign nation. Federal elections are meant to hold senators accountable to constituents who reside in the states they represent—not out-of-state residents or a foreign government.

In practical effect, McCain-Feingold hastened a retreat from representative government by granting a nationwide network of foreign agents disproportionate influence over elections in every state and congressional district. Campaign finance “reform” enabled this network to amass even more political clout—wielding influence disproportionate to their numbers, indifferent to their place of residence and often contrary to America’s interests.

This force-multiplier is now wielded in plain sight, with impunity and under cover of free speech, free elections, free press and even the freedom of religion. Therein lie the perils of an entangled alliance that induced the U.S. to invade Iraq and now to seek war against Iran—which will be the biggest no-win war ever if we attack Iran. By allowing foreign agents to operate as a domestic lobby, the U.S. has been induced to confuse Zionist interests with its own.

Lets be critical of the Zionist regime in control in America. Encourage ordinary americans to throw off the shackles of Zionism. Lets try help a great people take back their country
 
You haven't heard?? The DoD is authorizing that protesters are "Low-level terrorism" and they can jail them without trials. Seriously go check it out.
 
Good article. I do not like the use of the word 'Zionist', it makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist (which I'm not), & I don't want to come across as that. However, there has been a deliberate 'movement' in America to suppress individual liberties of the American people, to have a nation of people who cannot think analytically, along with many other things. In terms of foreign policy, the government initially needed to get authorization from the Congress to go to war (as per US constitution) in the past, but the (unconstitutional) War Powers Resolution that was passed overruled that. The Patriot Act & the new terror suspect law go against the principles of the US constitution as well.

The negative influence of the state is influenced in everything we do here, when we eat, work, manage our homes; everything. The government is too big in the US, & America was founded on the principle of "America-the-people", not America-the-government. Entitlement programs in the US such as social security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps & others go against the individual liberties of the American people, & make them more dependent on the government. The government expenditure grows ten-fold as well because of these programs.

Another big problem that people don't understand is how big corporate America is, & how negatively it affects America the nation & America the people. Corporations only look out for one thing: profits & revenues. They don't care about the American people or the American government. As the world has open up through globalization, American corporations have outsourced their manufacturing operations abroad. These corporations prefer hiring people in the Asia Pacific at 40 cents an hour, than an American working at $40 an hour in America (along with benefits). As a result, there is a real shortage of jobs in America, & not enough of a manufacturing base. The American government that works so hard to bail big corporations out makes very wrong decisions doing that.

The Industrial Revolution in America happened because it lead manufacturing in the world, & was the manufacturing base for the world. Today, about 77% of the GDP produced in the US economy comes from services sector, whereas only about 21% comes from manufacturing.

In terms of the banking/financial sector, the problem is very complicated: the whole financial system in the US is messed up. I have created a road-map of everything that went wrong with that, & what cause the housing bubble:

Financial Institutions deregulation:

Deregulation of CDO’s (Collaterized Debt Obligations) for investment banks (Lehman Brothers, Bear Stern, JP Morganchase)
Deregulation of CDS’s (Credit Default Swap) for insurance companies (AIG)
Deregulation of credit agencies (Moody, Fitch)
Mortgage lenders (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac)

Securitization Food Chain

Subprime loans (high interest loans, high risk loans) [affected the quality of mortgage]

a) Past model:
Home Buyers ———mortgage———-> Lenders (banks)

b) New model:
Lenders (banks) ——-mortgages————> Investment Banks ———CDO———-> Investors

Sub models & formulas used in the new model:
CDO = Commercial mortgages + corporate buyout debt + home mortgages + car loans + student loans + credit card debt

Insurance companies ——-CDS——-> Investment Banks

Mortgage lenders ——————> Home Buyers

Mortgage lenders ———> Mortgage brokers ———> Home Buyers

There are no "Articles" on the subject but here are a few people who did a detailed investigation on the subject and found these things out themselves. Of course a media black out is present only the selected propaganda is allowed to roam the western media although they sing of freedom when in fact in this world currently no one is free.

This is an article from the Guardian regarding this issue as well however as you a person living in the UK and very active in the political world and still probably have not heard of it (Or you have I am interested if it made a fuss in the UK or not) it says that Occupy London protesters are a "Terrorist Organization".

Does this surprise me?? Not a bit actually this is exactly how the world "SHOULD" progress history teaches us exactly "THIS" the world goes round and round each nation get a time of power and freedom and then when they are about to lose power they try to retain it with detaining freedom and that in turn will make it lose its power and then another nation takes the flare of power and freedom and the cycle goes on and on from Greeks to Americans. From Pharonic Egypt to China the list goes on and on.
