  PATRICK LAWRENCE: The Zionists Within Trump will demonstrate the extent to which countless appendages of the Zionist cause demand America sacrifice itself to protect the barbarities  of “the Jewish state” from criticism. President Donald Trump in Congress to deliver a joint-session speech on March 4.  (White House / Flickr) By  Patrick Lawrence Special to Consortium News D uring Donald Trump’s first four years in the White House, the stranger to Washington’s infernal ways got nothing done: That cabal of various Deep State appendages — the Democratic Party’s upper echelons, the intelligence apparatus, the Justice Department and the F.B.I., and corporate media — made sure of that. Trump seems to have thought this through during his four years playing golf at Mar-a–Lago. He returned to the White House two months ago this week with a full-dress plan to get done what he couldn’t first time around.  And now look. Donald Trump the subverted, we have to conclude, was ...

I have scores of partially Jewish cousins, but none of them think of themselves as Jews. With all the intermarriage that has taken place, I don’t know what it even means to be a Jew now. But disproportionate power is disproportionate power. Jews are only about two percent of the present U.S. population. That’s a really small minority. There are more Unitarians- three percent- than Jews in America. How many Unitarians have ever been in charge of a movie studio? A television network? A publishing house? A record company? About 3.6 percent of Americans are whole or partially deaf. How many deaf persons own pro sports franchises? How many are agents for athletes and entertainers? Jewish prominence in all areas of the culture, and much of politics, is so obvious that it can’t be honestly disregarded. There is absol...
