  The Israeli Angle, As War Talk Heats Up MARK WAUCK There’s no doubt about it that war talk is heating up, and events on the ground and in the air in the Levant are also heating up. Israel is once again claiming that if they don’t attack Lebanon today it will be tomorrow—or maybe next week, or … You get the picture. My guess is that this is one more rhetorical attempt to pressure the US into committing to a major Middle East war—something the US isn’t prepared for and doesn’t want. Israel isn’t prepared for a real war, either—who thinks the military that can’t take Gaza is ready for Hezbollah? Just a bombing campaign, but that’s exactly what could lead to Hezbollah unleashing its missiles. At which point everything becomes less predictable. The GOP’s utterly reckless and irresponsible quest for Jewish money has led to the invite to Netanyahu to gaslight Congress and the public.

  Mossad and its network of little helpers, the Sayanim By David Miller for Al Mayadeen VANESSA BEELEY As I am hoping to organise a conversation with colleague David Miller in the very near future to discuss his research into the Zionist movement tentacles that have embedded themselves deep inside the UK governmental and public sectors including education - I am publishing his recent article for  Al Mayadeen English : The Mossad have been exposed as targeting the International Criminal Court, including directly threatening its personnel and their families.

"Israel’s" intelligence agencies  routinely surveilled  the ICC’s current chief prosecutor Karim Khan, his predecessor Fatou Bensouda, and do...

  Deadly Delusions: When the Plans Work All Too Well ALAN SABROSKY Prelude The first week of June, I watched all thirteen episodes of a mini-series called  Amerika  (1987)  I had briefly seen in part thirty-odd years before. Yes, I know it is a Hollywood production. Yes, I know it is fiction, just as I know that (e.g.)  1984  is fiction. Yes, I know many of the details re wrong for our time, most notably that the USSR is gone. Nonetheless, it shook me profoundly, and I could not understand why. Being a methodological Germanic scholar (perhaps a triple tautology?), I set out to understand why. I watched all thirteen episodes again, then a half-hour summary of the series in a program by the director and the key actors called “Storm Over Amerika,” and finally stayed up all night thinking about what I had seen and heard. Then I knew, in almost a secular epiphany. We had  already  been defeated and occupied, left and right alike (no nit-picking on term...
