POPSHere We Go Again--Iran Is a Threat (but Not Nuclear Israel), blah, blah The propaganda machine about the "threat" of Iran has kicked into high gear, again, driven (as was the Iraq war) by not just the White House and both coerced parties in Congress (via AIPAC), but US Media, singing in complete unison. Who is really playing the aggressor? Who is threatening to attack whom , ....and based upon what ? The drum beat is identical to that about Iraq and Saddam Hussein, which we know was a lie, and part of the neocon agenda for a "new middle east". The morale of that story is do not trust the government when it comes to starting (or provoking) wars and conflicts, which always begins with sanctions , and gaining the UN Gang's support, rather easily swayed. They seek to overcome any resistance by incessant REPETITION of the same propaganda message as with Iraq.

POPSDefiant Traficant Takes On AIPAC and Israel Listen especially from 6:00 minute mark. "Israel has a powerful strangle-hold on our government....we are engaged in expansionist policy for Israel, but no one will say anything about it" Somehow (no mystery) his major personal conflict (i.e. being targetted by AIPAC) was not covered by the mainstream media, which is covered in the first 6 minutes partially. He is not alone in his opinion either.

POPSHuckabee Prepares for 2012 by Playing for Israel's Support Note the flattery in his message to gain their support, championing the radical Likud party's cause. He knows who butters the bread of candidates for U.S. president. Next stop,back in America, will likely be AIPAC. Interesting the power of Israel on U.S. candidates, isn't it? Likely finding some heavy financing from this sponsor of his trip too.

POPSAIPAC Bill to Cut-off Oil Products from Iran, Jeapordizes US Economy More
Iran imports 40% of its petroleum products, which AIPAC is leaning on Congress and Obama to cut-off under pretext of "nuclear threat" (hogwash, no evidence of that). See the video and details from the 2009 AIPAC Conference just concluded. Let's imagine the consequences of cutting of oil products from Iran: 1. Iran could reduce supply of crude petroleum to US and others, and get OPEC to agree. Iran controls a large percentage of world supply of crude. 2. Gas prices in the U.S. would skyrocket (again), in this economic war on Iran, in the midst of a severe recession and high unemployment (still growing)! 3. In consequence of #2, all consumer products (that require transportation and fuel) would also skyrocket , causing inflation of prices during recession and unemployment! AIPAC does not care about the U.S. , only the radical Zionist agenda of a "new middle east", and only them with nuclear weapons. Tell Congress NOT to support this legislation!

POPSObama Admin Drops Charges Against AIPAC Israeli Spies The FBI tried to prosecute them, but Obama's Justice Dept. prevented it, after intimidating tactics (subpoenas to heavy weights for show) by AIPAC's lawyers. The two indicted were not the first: The indictment against Rosen and Weissman charged that they obtained and then disclosed to reporters and to an Israeli official classified information on U.S. policy toward Iran ...A former Defense Department official, Lawrence A. Franklin, previously pleaded guilty to providing Rosen and Weissman classified defense information and was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison.

POPS"Times Fronts AIPAC Story That Washington Post Ignores" Just goes to show how important it is that the New York Times survives. The story was big yesterday. Today the Times made it impossible to ignore -- except by the Post which, to its credit, has never claimed to be the "newspaper of record." That is still the Times.

POPSBombshell (!) in Israeli-USA Spy Network Case
I'm glad this reporter summed up yesterday's revelations (see clip) -- and he did a good job -- because it would have stretched the limits of my own incredulousness to do so. 1. Serious Israeli spying on the USA. (Not accusation. Guy in jail for 12 years; previous cases, guys in jail) 2. These two Israeli lobbyist from AIPAC are facing trial for being involved but real heavy-duty machinations keep getting the trial postponed. 3. Jewish Congresswoman Jane Harmon tells the Jewish Lobby and Israeli agents she will help quash the trial of the two AIPAC lobbyist if they can use their influence to get her nominated to become head of the House Intelligence Committee. 4. This is caught on tap in a legal wiretap that was on the AIPAC accused Israeli spies. 5. AG Gonzales (this was a year ago,Bush president) stops any investigation of Congresswoman Harmon by the NSA in exchange for her supporting Bush era illegal warrantless wiretaping of US citizens. Wow! This can't go on.

POPSU.S. Foreign Aid to Israel Illegal due to Israel's WMD The official report of Israel's nuclear weaponry makes it illegal for the U.S. to provide foreign aid to Israel! Note too that Obama recently "ducked" the question from the most veteran reporter in Washington, Helen Thomas (a real journalist). This demonstrates the real fear of the Israeli Lobby by Obama too. Why not uphold the law? Why the deliberate blindness toward Israel? Here is a push-point to challenge and change U.S. foreign policy and cut spending. By law, the U.S. would have to cease providing billions of dollars in foreign aid to Israel if it determined the country had a nuclear weapons program. That's because the so-called Symington Amendment, passed in 1976, bars assistance to countries developing technology for nuclear weapons proliferation.

POPSFreeman: US run by Israeli Lobby
The outspoken politician said he had clear evidence against the lobbyists who are "determined to prevent any view other than its own from being aired, still less to factor in American understanding of trends and events in the Middle East." During his headship of the Middle East Policy Council (MEPC), allegations were leveled against Freeman that he functioned as "a mouthpiece for Saudi Arabia" in exchange for money from the Saudi royalties. He has also been accused of bias towards Beijing for constantly advising the White House to forge stronger China ties. "I have never sought to be paid or accepted payment from any foreign government, including Saudi Arabia or China, for any service, nor have I ever spoken on behalf of a foreign government, its interests, or its policies," Freeman continued. He wondered if President Barack Obama's administration could formulate its own Middle East policy despite the lobby. He also warned that the body's coercive methods ultimately "threat

POPS"US professors call for academic/cultural boycott of Israel"
"The response has been remarkable given the extraordinary hold that lobbying organizations like AIPAC exert over U.S. politics and over the US media, and in particular given the campaign of intimidation that has been leveled at academics who dare to criticize Israel's policies," Lloyd wrote in an e-mail to Haaretz. "Within a short weekend since the posting of the press release, more than 80 academics from all over the country have endorsed the action and the numbers continue to grow." Asked if the group would accept the endorsement of Hamas supporters, Lloyd said, "We have no a priori policy with regard to the membership or affiliation of supporters of the boycott so long as they are in accord with the main aims stated in the press release." He argued that, "on several occasions Hamas has sought direct negotiations with Israel, a pursuit that constitutes de facto recognition of Israel, and has openly discussed abandoning its call for the destruction of the state of Israel con

POPSWINEP Targets Iran: Neoliberals at Work for Israel in Washington The neocons have a cousin on the left of close relation. The top of the clip is the JPost story you likely saw on Drudge. The lower clip is the profile on WINEP, mentioned by JPost's article, worth reading in its entirety. So here we have a Jerusalem Post story about Israel considering military action against Iran, and supporting it all from a "Washington" (but Israeli) think tank for justification. Meet the neo-liberals, the counterparts of the neoconservatives, both tied to the Israeli Lobby network . American political structure is infiltrated on both right and left by various think tanks to support wars or conflicts for the "Greater Israel" Agenda. The Israeli Lobby is like an Octopus with tentacles everywhere in Washington (and press) which the RightWeb clip describes in more detail. In contrast to the obviously partisan character of AIPAC, WINEP has projected itself, at least until the administration of George W. Bush, as an objective institute. [/quot

POPSChristians: "Why We Should Be Concerned About Christian Zionism" “Ideological Christian Zionists sometimes claim that they speak on behalf of all American evangelicals. This is not so,” the brochure says. “Many evangelicals in the US do not want to be identified as theological Christian Zionists.” This ideology “rejects any peace process built on a negotiated settlement towards a two-state solution to the conflict” because it encouraged advocacy “committed to preserving control over all of historic Palestine for Jewish people alone”. It also promoted “fear and hatred of Muslims and non-western Christians”, the brochure says. One of the best-known Christian Zionists is John Hagee, a pastor who leads Christians United for Israel, a “mega-church” with an estimated 50,000 members. He has close ties with many US politicians and is a regular speaker at the annual conference of the hawkish AIPAC. He has also raised funds for settlements in the West Bank, which Israel calls Judea and Samaria.

POPSIran was a Democracy, Until the U.S. Overthrew It Why militarism against Iran would be stupid. Great short video summary which the MSM will not show you about Iran from a good website with a great name, JustForeignPolicy.org , which states this: JustForeignPolicy.org toured with the experts in this video, opposing war with Iran and promoting diplomacy. Now AIPAC wants Congress to endorse a naval blockade against Iran. Ask your Representative to vote no See details at website for how to take action and do that.

POPSEurope must Lead Boycott against Apartheid again. Most Americans pay lip-service to equality. No Arab life is worth one Zionists in their eyes. Europe must bring its true Christian values to bear and solve the Middle East problem. A real boycott for 3-6 month would have the Zionists suing for peace. Europe is not riddled with Islamophobia. Its politicians don't need vetting by AIPAC. Their leaders don't consult Olmert to make decisions. Free Europe can free the Middle East. Let the American taxpayer support a corrupt regime while Europe seeks freedom and justice for all.
