#USA politicians support #Israel not out of allegiance or the power of lobbyists. Aspects of this support include:

1. Annual >$3b aid packages, with regular supplements & fewer restrictions than aid to other nations
2. Support of governments #Israel likes, such as #Jordan #KSA
#Egypt, regardless of #humanrights abuses
3. Undermining/attacking governments, groups & nations it dislikes: #Iraq #Iran #Lebanon
4. Ignoring obligations to #Palestinians under intl law
5. Allowing "charities" to receive tax-deductible donations used to further #ethniccleansing
in #Palestine.
6. Various state & federal government agencies with preferences to #Israel, such as #police exchanges & subsidized trade delegations.
7. Voting for legislation punishing people who support #BDS, a non-violent advocacy tactic.

Whatever it is that causes #USA
politicians to do all of these things, obviously they don't feel the same way about #FlintWaterCrisis #PuertoRico #CaliforniaWildfires #OpioidCrisis #massincarceration #publicschools #nucleardisarmament #climatechange #pathwaytocitizenship #M4A #SinglePayer.
The best source on why #USA politicians have basically gone all-in for #Zionism is "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy" by John J. Mearsheimer & Stephen M Walt indiebound.org/book/978037453…

Finished reading "Killers of the Flower Moon" by @DavidGrann. The Osage, a First Nation whose original lands stretched from what today is Missouri and Kansas in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west, were cornered by the #USA government into a rocky, barren patch in
Oklahoma. Shrewdly, the Osage's negotiators succeeded in securing mineral rights in the territory, and, a few decades later, revenues from oil drilling were distributed to members of the nation as "headrights." In the period 1910s & 1920s, income from these headrights made
members of the Osage Nation wealthy. However, the #USA government transferred many members' rights to control this money to guardians, most of whom were white Anglos. Grifters of all types, bankers, con artists, forgerers, settled among the Osage to steal their money. More

I sometimes feel @georgialibs don't get enough high quality, academic press #history & #sociology books. Using the GA Pines automated system, people who are members of participating libraries can get a number of very good books which have recently come to my attention.
"The oldest living things in the world" by Rachel Sussman gapines.org/eg/opac/record…. This photo essay book is a beautiful, mind-expanding paean to our biosphere. (I realize this is a #science #ecology book)
"Talking to my daughter about the economy, or, how capitalism works-- and how it fails" by Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis gapines.org/eg/opac/record…

I've been reading the e-mail from @wikileaks #Podesta hack which contains 3 attachments of transcriptions of Q & A sessions #HRC did with Goldman Sachs. wikileaks.org/podesta-emails… @BernieSanders had asked her to release transcripts or recordings. She had received hefty speaker fees.
I'm wondering, if the documents in this e-mail are an accurate representation of her appearances, why she didn't release them. There weren't any particularly "gotcha" moments where she thanked #WallSt for making her & her husband rich or where she promised to protect their
interests. A lot of what she said was uninspiring centrism, which is her brand. Several times she called for fixing #immigration, but without specifics. As part of the unwashed masses, I didn't see six figures worth of value in these words, but what do I know? Maybe they were

1) #Israel released a report today called "Terrorists in Suits" about the secret links between the BDS movement and terrorism.

I thought it would be interesting to draw some connections between the report and other things we hear.

2) "The Boycott, Divestiture and Sanctions" movement likes to claim that it is about achieving "justice" for the "oppressed" Palestinian people.

On its face, most people can understand that idea.

3) But BDS is illegal in much of the United States.

"Around half of the US’s 50 states have anti-BDS laws, which in various ways prohibit granting state contracts to companies which boycott Israel."

#Israel carried out four waves of attacks on #Syria starting at 1:00 am and finishing at 2:02 am local time, bombing Syrian targets in Quneitra, Suweida, Daraa and reef Damascus. Local air defence intercepted many missiles fired by Jets violating #Lebanon airspace.
#Israel warned #Syria: Let us bomb you. You are warned if you retaliate against our aggression. Only Israel has the right to aggress its neighbour and violate their sovereignty and security.

The "Iranian Quds targets" is blatantly fake. Israel aim to destroy Syria's capability.
#Israel may/could ask compensation for this:

The map of Syria
Turkish President #Erdogan will meet with his Russian counterpart on January 23 to discuss the future of the Syrian east and the city of Manbij. This comes after a telephone conversation between Erdogan and #Trump before yesterday.1/12
#Syria #Turkey #USA #Russia
With the scrutiny of the Turkish, American, Kurdish and Russian military movements in the Syrian east and its surroundings, it is now possible to develop a scenario that will be closest to what will be the map of the Syrian East.2/12
#Syria #Turkey #USA #Russia #Iran #Israel
In a secret visit to #Ankara a few days ago, a Syrian delegation led by Ahmed al-#Jarba, a leader of a military group of Arabs supported by the International Coalition and #Washington, arrived from the areas of #SDF.3/12

@ArminLaschet @drumheadberlin 1. Oder Herr #Laschet, will man sich keiner Debatte stellen, die die Schwächen des #Migrationspakts aufdecken könnte?
Es ist doch komisch das die #CDU-Fürsprecher einerseits sagen der Pakt sei nicht verbindlich, aber soll Helfen #Migration zu regulieren. Wie, wenn unverbindlich?
@ArminLaschet @drumheadberlin 2. Es wird auch unterschlagen das der #Migrationspakt Migration zum Menschenrecht erklären will - Was das für Staaten in der Ersten Welt bedeutet ist doch klar - Daher werden Staaten wie die #USA, #Australien, #Oesterreich, #Israel und viele mehr, den Pakt nicht unterzeichnen!
@ArminLaschet @drumheadberlin 3. Es ist auch auffällig das schon seit 2 Jahren an dem #Migrationspakt gearbeitet wird, aber die Öffentlichkeit erst jetzt davon erfährt - Echte Demokratie geht anders: Ein Pakt der die #Massenmigration begünstigt gehört öffentlich diskutiert.

Humanitarian Wars for democracy and freedom are false and lying - 13

The so-called "moderate rebels"

1.
 What was the UN created for?
What was the United Nations charter created for?
What were human rights associations created for?
What was the International Criminal Court created for?

Enough of double standars and hypocrisy. Enough is enough.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
