The Long, Repressed History of Black Leftism | Al Jazeera America

It is 0400 hours, 29July2015……today’s lead story on the news was Tom Brady and “deflate-gate”……that is pathetic especially after a major escalation in the war against ISIS and they lead with this mind numbing bullshit!

I am an aging hippie that was ass deep into the protests of the 60 and 70’s…….I was in Oakland years ago, at the height of the Black Panthers hey day, and witnessed the positive influence they had on the community………I was amazed at what they had done in several neighborhoods…..they had set up free daycare, free clinics, free lunches for homeless, programs for addiction, etc…….and yet the only thing most Americans know about them, the Panthers, is what the media force fed them in their nightly news…….

Yes they were revolutionaries but they did more good than they were given credit……the MSM did everything possible to assassinate their legacy and unfortunately they were successful……….

Where has that sense of “community” gone?

The Destruction Of Israel?

Now that the hearings have begun on the Iranian nuke deal and they will be very contentious……we will be bombarded with the illusion that if the deal goes through then the destruction of Israel will be imminent…..most of this stuff is lies and misinformation or at best hyperbole……..

I have been writing about the Middle East for a long time…..most of which goes unheeded but that will stop me from pointing out the fallacies that we Americans have deal with on a daily basis.

Thanx to the media and the neocons any time there is a post about something happening in Iran we always hear about the narrative that the media has given the American people…..that is that Iran seeks the destruction of the state of Israel.  I am sure you have heard and quite possibly believed this manufactured paradigm…….

Now with the Iranian deal being batted around in the media and on Capital Hill we will hear once again bout the destruction of Israel if this deal goes through…….but is it truly the destruction of Israel the Iranian desire?

From a piece written by Akbar Ganji……….Ganji is NOT an apologist for Iran…..he was imprisoned there and his writings are banned in the country……in essence he is an enemy of the state of Iran……..

The rhetoric about destruction of Israel is unwise and inhumane. But, claiming that the Islamic Republic of Iran wishes physical destruction of Israel is sheer lie. It is not a lie because Iran does not have the military power to destroy Israel, as the United States and Israel have thousands of nuclear warheads to destroy Iran several time over. It is a lie because Netanyahu and others have distorted the unwise rhetoric about Israel’s existence.

“Destruction of Israel” that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has spoken about refers to a referendum that he has proposed about the future of the entire historic Palestine in which all the Israelis and the Palestinians, including those who live in refugee camps in the Arab countries, would take part. Khamenei believe that if such a referendum is held, the Palestinians will win, and the state of Israel, not its Jewish citizens, will disappear through a democratic referendum. I have explained this view in detail elsewhere. So, Khamenei is pursuing a scenario similar to what happened in South Africa in which the power was transferred from the white minority to the black majority.

The president has also bought into this line of lying……but NO where has anyone said anything about the threats that Israel has issued to Iran about wiping them out first…..why is that?

It is time for all Americans to realize the inconsistencies in our policies concerning Israel…..Israel gets a free ride on so many levels that it has become sickening.

Israel is NOT a friend of the US……all this country is a tool for Israel to use to get their way in this world…….time for that to change!

Will It Be The Deal Of The Century?

Nope, not something on the Game Show Network…….but rather the deal with the Iranians over the nuke issue…….just in case there was any confusion…….

There is lots of condemnation of the deal on Right wing whack job parties and even the start of ads on the tube against the deal….all financed by Israel in one way or the other……

But with all the hoopla on TV by pundits on both sides the question remain,……………….do Americans favor or not this deal?

According to a recent poll….Jews in the US……..

By a wide margin, American Jews support the recently concluded agreement with Iran to restrict its nuclear program, and a clear majority of Jews wants Congress to approve the deal. In fact, as compared with Americans generally, Jews are more supportive of the “Iran deal,” in large part because Jews are more liberal and more Democratic in their identities. It turns out that liberals (Jewish or not) support the deal far more than conservatives (Jewish or not), just as most Democrats are in favor, while most Republicans are opposed.

These results emerge from the new LA Jewish Journal Survey conducted under my direction by Social Science Research Solutions (SSRS), between July 16-20, a few days after the agreement had been announced. SSRS interviewed 501 Jews for the Jewish survey, and for the national survey, 522 respondents by phone (almost a third of which were cellphones). The margin of error is 6 percent for the Jewish survey and 5.2 percent for the national survey (consisting of 505 non-Jews and 17 Jews).

Okay American Jews support the deal…..but what about the rest of the country?

According to a poll conducted bt ABC News…….

A new national ABC News/Washington Post poll also finds sharply politicized views of U.S.-Israel relations, which have been strained by the two allies’ dispute over the advisability of an agreement with Iran.

In a result that supports the Obama administration’s position in the face of Republican and Israeli criticisms alike, Americans by 59-31 percent back a plan to lift major economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for restrictions making it harder for it to produce nuclear weapons.

We now see that the Iranian deal is popular with the American people…..the only opposition is from people OWNED by the Israel lobby……but let us say that somehow these dorks get their way and the deal is crushed…..what will be the result?

Taking his efforts to sell the Iran deal on the road, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke at several conferences and media interviews today on the matter, starting off with comments before the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) during which he had some serious warnings for Israel.

During the CFR talks, Kerry cautioned that considering intense Israeli lobbying efforts against the pact, if the US Congress does end up killing the deal the international community is likely to blame Israel more than it blames the US for blocking it.

If that occurred would that be the end of the Israeli control of this country?  Would this then be the water to put out the Israeli flame?

Israel’s $100 Million Gamble – The Unz Review

The US sends multi-billions to Israel in the form of aid……and now with the upcoming vote on the Iranian nuke deal Israel is going into full opposition mode…….the lobby will be spending millions to political ‘friends’ to try and defeat the deal…..I ask of all the money spent to try and defeat the deal…..how much of that cash will be supplied by the American taxpayer?

The American people need to realize that they nor Israel are the center of the universe…..this deal effects more than the neocons in either country…..keep on mind…..if the deal goes South there will be NO one to blame but Israel and its lackeys……..whatever happens after that is on their heads and their heads alone!

The world sees the benefit of this deal, the positive benefits, everyone but the whores that Israel pays to do their bidding…….

Time for Israel to man up and join the human race…….
