No Saudi defense pact without Israel deal – White House

The US will not enter into a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia unless the kingdom recognizes the state of Israel, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has said. However, Riyadh has made any recognition deal contingent on the Israelis agreeing to work toward the formal establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Media reports last week suggested that Washington and Riyadh were drawing closer to signing a bilateral security pact, even as progress toward a Saudi-Israel normalization deal remained stalled. According to Reuters, the pact would see the US enter into a formal alliance with Saudi Arabia and help with its civilian nuclear program in exchange for Riyadh cutting some economic ties with China.
Speaking at a Financial Times event in London on Saturday, Sullivan insisted that no deal will be possible without Saudi Arabia recognizing Israel.
“The integrated vision is a bilateral understanding between the US and Saudi Arabia combined with normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, combined with meaningful steps on behalf of the Palestinian people,” he told attendees. “All of that has to come together…you can’t disentangle one piece from the others.”

Israel ready for temporary truce with Hamas – Netanyahu
Brokering a Saudi-Israeli normalization deal was a key foreign policy goal of former US President Donald Trump, whose 2020 ‘Abraham Accords’ saw Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates open diplomatic and trade links with West Jerusalem. US President Joe Biden has continued to push for such a deal, but the war in Gaza has frozen negotiations since last October.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated in February that the kingdom would not establish formal relations with Israel “unless an independent Palestinian state is recognized on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip stops and all Israeli occupation forces withdraw from the Gaza Strip.”
Riyadh’s conditions are non-starters in West Jerusalem, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue waging war in Gaza until Israel achieves “total victory” over Hamas. Netanyahu has also insisted on “full Israeli security control over the entire area west of the Jordan” when the conflict eventually ends, a description that includes the West Bank and Gaza.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said last week that Riyadh and Washington were indeed “very close” to a defense pact, but reiterated that there also “needs to be truly a pathway to a Palestinian state” that is “credible and irreversible.”

Kentucky Rep Thomas Massie (R) revealed to Tucker Carlson in an interview released Friday that every GOP congressman has an "AIPAC babysitter" who guides them on how to vote in the interests of Israel.

"Everybody but me has an AIPAC person -- like your AIPAC babysitter, who is always talking to you for AIPAC," Massie said. "They're probably a constituent from your district but they're firmly embedded in AIPAC."

"Every member has something like this?" Tucker Carlson asked.

"Every Repub--, I don't know how it works on the Democrat side, but that's how it works on the Republican side, and when you come to DC you go have lunch with them and they've got your cell number and you have conversations with them."

"That's crazy," Carlson responded.

"So, I've had four members of Congress say, 'I'll talk to my AIPAC person' -- that's literally what we call them, 'my AIPAC guy,'" Massie said, laughing. "'I'll talk to my AIPAC guy and see if I can get them to, you know, dial those ads back.'"

"Why have I never heard this before?" Carlson said.

"It doesn't benefit anybody," Massie said, "why would they want to tell their constituents that they've basically got a buddy system with somebody who is representing a foreign country, it doesn't benefit the congressmen for people to know that so they're not going to tell you that."

Massie told Carlson no other country does this: "Not only do they not have a Putin guy, they don't have a Britain guy, they don't have an Australian guy, they don't have a Germany dude, it's the only country that does this!"

Carlson for some reason feigned ignorance about all this and went on a tangent about how much he loves the country of Israel.

Watch the full interview below (or on YouTube):

Though Massie said he doesn't know if the situation is the same for Democrats, the late Democratic Congressman James Traficant of Ohio said similar in 2009 during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News.

"I served in Congress for 17 years," Traficant said, "I've seen members question bills and votes on -- 'How does Israel feel about this?' -- I must have heard that every time there was a significant vote!"

"To suggest as you're doing here tonight that they control our Congress that quote, 'They are influencing and the sole control of influencing of our domestic policy,' is an absurdity, it sounds like you are a kook!" Hannity protested.

"Sean, I'm not suggesting it -- I'm telling it," Traficant responded.
 
Israel’s Control Over America Grows Ever Stronger
US foreign policy is based on appeasing the Jewish state


PHILIP GIRALDI • JUNE 14, 2024

Link: https://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/israels-control-over-america-grows-ever-stronger/



Back in September 2017 I wrote an article for the Unz Review site entitled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” with the subtitle “Shouldn’t they recuse themselves when dealing with the Middle East?” The article focused on the fact that most of the individuals and groups in the US that were agitating for war with Iran in particular were Jewish and most did not hide their loyalty to Israel, headed then as now by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I argued that it was a mistake to have Jews managing America’s relationships in the Middle East in particular as some of them certainly would experience a conflict of interest that would inevitably not be beneficial to the United States. And, one might add, that in spite of that tie that binds with a foreign government, no pro-Israel group has ever been compelled to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 which would provide some transparency on finances and concerning direct contacts with the Israeli government or its Embassy in Washington. The end result of all that is to make it extremely easy to use money, which the Zionist billionaires have in abundance, to corrupt the US government process on behalf of an apartheid state that is no ally in reality and does not have values that fit well with what was once American democracy.
If measured by comments received on it on the Unz site, the article on the ethnic advocacy promoting America’s Wars turned out to be the most popular that I have ever written and it was picked up widely online and in various publications both in the US and abroad. Inevitably, however, it produced a backlash from Israel’s many friends and within 24 hours there was added an update to the original online posting. It read “On the morning of September 21st Phil Giraldi was fired over the phone by The American Conservative, where he had been a regular contributor for fourteen years. He was told that ‘America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars’ was unacceptable. The TAC management and board appear to have forgotten that the magazine was launched with an article by founder Pat Buchanan entitled “Whose War?” which largely made the same claims that Giraldi made about the Jewish push for another war, in that case with Iraq. Buchanan was vilified and denounced as an anti-Semite by many of the same people who are now similarly attacking Giraldi.”
The TAC malignancy who did the actual firing was particularly miffed by my assertion in the article that prominent Jews, like Bill Kristol, who appear regularly on television to advocate hardlines against Iran and others while articulating a “threat to America” when they are actually acting on behalf of Israel should appear above a label that reads something like “Jewish and an outspoken supporter of the state of Israel.” I added that it would be kind-of-like a warning label on a bottle of rat poison – translating roughly as “ingest even the tiniest little dosage of the nonsense spewed by Bill Kristol at your own peril.”
Indeed, it is the wealthy and influential beyond belief Jewish diaspora and its non-stop lying and corruption that sustains the fictitious narrative of Israel as a “land without people for a people without a land.” Australian journalist Caitlin Johnstone observes that “Everything about Israel is fake. It’s a completely synthetic nation created without any regard for the organic sociopolitical movements of the land and its people, slapped rootless atop an ancient pre-existing civilization with deep roots. That’s why it cannot exist without being artificially propped up by nonstop propaganda, lobbying, online influence operations, and mass military violence.”
My point in revisiting the past is that seven years ago one would never have imagined the control that the Jewish Lobby has since obtained over the US foreign policy as well as over many domestic policies largely thanks to the alarmingly pro-Israel measures that have been advanced by an ignorant and reckless Donald Trump followed by the totally mindless and heedless Joe Biden. Biden has a majority of Jews occupying senior positions in his administration and it is fair to say that Jews are at the controls for Middle Eastern policy as well as what is playing out in Ukraine. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is little more than a spokesman and advocate for Israel as he made clear when he arrived in Israel after the Hamas attack and announced that “I come before you as a Jew…” and followed that up with his family holocaust history, though he failed to mention that his stepfather worked for Robert Maxwell, a leading Israeli spy. And let’s not forget about Congress, where pro-Israel fanatics have taken complete control (with the sole exception of Tom Massie) of the Republican Party. This control is exercised through over the top political donations and favorable media coverage dependent on one’s supportive view of Israel. A story is currently circulating indicating that Miriam Adelson, Israel-born heiress to the Sheldon Adelson multi-billion dollar casino fortune, has offered Trump $100 million as a political campaign contribution if he will promise to enable Israeli annexation of all of historic Palestine after he wins the November election.
Some congressmen have revealed that when they first surfaced as political candidates a representative of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) would casually drop by and determine their viewpoint on the Middle East. In some cases, would-be legislators would be asked to sign a statement pledging full and uncritical support of Israel no matter what it does. And we have recently learned that Israel runs major secret intelligence operations using fake personas on social media spreading pro-Israeli stories to influence decision making and maintain control of the US government. Beyond that, according to Massie, who told Tucker Carlson, every Republican in Congress besides himself “has an AIPAC person” assigned to them with whom they are in constant communication, whom he describes as functioning “like your babysitter” to make sure that no one hesitates when it comes to policies impacting on Israel. One assumes that this consists of AIPAC or Anti-Defamation League (ADL) provided interns who spy on the officials lest they deviate from their pledged loyalty to the Jewish state. I would call such activity foreign espionage connected to incitement to commit treason that should be exposed like the rat poison metaphor cited above. These monsters promoting a foreign country’s interests are not really our friends and are not out to do anything beneficial for the American people.
Support for Israel in the media is also contrived and essentially phony, going beyond slanting stories and ignoring the Palestinians. It is generally and imposed from the top down. Since October outlets like The New York Times, CNN and CBC have been denounced through staff leaks regarding demands from their top executives, who are often Jewish, that they slant their Gaza coverage to support the narratives favored by Israel. There have been resignations in government over the Israeli genocide being supported by Biden and Briahna Joy Gray has just been fired by The Hill for mildly criticizing Israel while co-hosting the show “Rising”, a fate that every media employees must understand lest they share Gray’s fate if they are insufficiently supportive of the Zionist entity. Israel’s support from Hollywood and other celebrities is similarly forced. A Hollywood marketing firm has had to explain a newly leaked email that instructed the firm’s employees to “pause on working with any celebrity or influencer or tastemaker posting against Israel.”
Other new developments on the Israel front that have emerged in the past seven years include the attacks on freedom of speech and association, the development of pro-Israel legislation at state and local levels which deny government benefits and jobs to citizens who support peaceful boycotts of Israel, and the ultimate abomination the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which is seeking to criminalize any criticism of the Jewish state. The Act is just one aspect of how the power of organized Jewish groups over the government and media is shaping the kind of society that Americans will be living in in the near future. It will be a society devoid of several fundamental constitutional rights, like free speech, due to deference to the preferences of one tiny demographic.
Upcoming elections have also been targeted by the “Lobby,” with Jewish groups raising hundreds of millions of dollars to carry out attacks on candidates considered to be anti-Israeli. The Zionist inspired heavy hand of government and of America’s educational institutions has also been observed recently in the arrests and other punishments to include blocking of employment opportunities and canceling degrees to students protesting against the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians. Jewish counter-protesters, sometimes violent as in the recent case of UCLA, are as a rule not punished and their student groups are untouched while pro-Palestinians groups are banned from campus.
Sometimes the leaning over backwards to please the Israelis is completely ridiculous. Congress is currently seeking to pass a bill that would punish the Maldives for blocking travel to the islands for Israeli passport holders while the war in Gaza continues. US Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey is leading efforts to pressure the government of the Indian Ocean tourist hotspot. Gottheimer, known to be one of Congress’s most aggressive Israel firsters, is seeking bipartisan support in developing the legislation which will be called the Protecting Allied Travel Here (PATH) Act. The legislation could block any US aid or assistance to the Maldives until Israelis again have permission to visit the country. Gottheimer argued that “taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be sent to a foreign nation that has banned all Israeli citizens – one of our greatest democratic allies.” He also added predictably that the Maldivean move was “antisemitic”.
So, in my humble opinion we have been increasingly getting screwed relentlessly by Israel in spite of much of the punishment taking place out in the open, but the hapless wretches in Congress are too weak and terrified by the Jewish lobby to do anything about it. And now we have war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu showing up at the end of July for another round of pandering and groveling plus cheering and bowing by the Joint Session of that very same Congress that has done so much to give Bibi and tools and money enabling him to kill 35,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and counting. It is a disgrace and when the world sits back and reckons what has happened and determines who is to blame the chickens will inevitably come home to roost. America the Pariah. It almost rhymes.
 

The Body Count of the State​

What happened to Rhonda Massie?​


DONALD JEFFRIES
JUL 09, 2024

Link: https://donaldjeffries.substack.com/p/the-body-count-of-the-state/



In early June, one of the most extraordinary interviews I’ve ever seen took place. Tucker Carlson sat down with Rep. Thomas Massie, by far the best of the typical sorry congressional lot. During the interview, Massie touched on the subject of Israeli influence in Congress. Boy, did he touch on it.
Massie alleged that every Republican congressional representative has their own AIPAC (American Israel Political Affairs Committee) “babysitter.” Except him. Think Rabbi Shmuley and RFK, Jr. Massie described how, after several high pressured conversations with AIPAC, during which they tried to get him to do some assigned “homework,” he ultimately banned them from his office. I think it’s safe to say that AIPAC has never been banned from any congressional office before. Massie said he didn’t know about the Democrats, but it would be shocking if all of them didn’t have a “babysitter” as well. This is basically what Cynthia McKinney described, before they ran her out of Congress. It all seems a bit like kissing the Pope’s ring.
The entire conversation was riveting. Massie is a true Renaissance Man. He’s an MIT educated engineer, but also recounted how he built his present home from scratch. He hammered every nail, screwed every screw, hooked up the plumbing and the wiring, even dug his own well. He powers the whole home with an old Tesla battery. He is about as off the grid as it gets. Massie spoke lovingly of his four children and his wife Rhonda, his high school sweetheart whom he’d been married to for 35 years. He has a great sense of humor, and performed flawless impressions of Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, who tried to get him ousted from Congress. It was the single most courageous interview I’ve ever seen with an elected member of Congress.
Which makes what happened a few weeks later all the more poignant. And troubling. On June 27, 2024, Rhonda Massie suddenly died. There was no cause of death announced, and there still hasn’t been. We know she wasn’t suffering from a chronic illness, as Massie spoke glowingly of her with Carlson, and in announcing her death, he noted, "We spent last week touring Mt Rainier with our grandson - she was the best mammaw ever! We love you Rhonda.” She was only fifty one and looked to be in pretty good shape. Normally, such a #died suddenly case can be attributed to the deadly warp speed vaccine. But not in this situation. Massie was vocally critical of the vaccine, and it’s a certainty that his wife wouldn’t have taken the jab. So exactly what could have happened to her?
I have been trying to find updates about this curious case. It may well be that an official cause of death here is never publicly announced. That happens far more often than it should, particularly since so many celebrated figures began dying suddenly during the COVID psyop. I can’t blame Massie for not providing more details. He must be totally devastated. Perhaps he feels guilty about talking so boldly about AIPAC on such a huge platform, and associates her subsequent death with his comments. You certainly ought to be able to speak critically about a political pressure group, in a free country. It shouldn’t cross your mind that such critical comments could possibly result in murderous repercussions. Anyone reading this obviously knows that America 2.0 is not a free country.
The only information I could find comes from an obscure source- County Local News. I have no idea if it has any credibility. From the article: “The investigation into Rhonda Massie’s cause of death revealed that she suffered a fatal breakout caused by a severe allergic reaction. It is believed that she unknowingly ingested a food item that contained an allergen to which she was highly sensitive. The reaction was swift and severe, leading to her tragic death. The news of Rhonda Massie’s cause of breakout death has served as a sobering reminder of the importance of being aware of food allergies and taking precautions to prevent such tragedies. Allergies can be life-threatening, and it is crucial for individuals to be vigilant about what they consume and to always carry necessary medication in case of an emergency.”
I guess that’s as likely as anything else. But naturally, many of us would suspect that someone nefariously introduced the “allergen” into whatever she ate. It would be quite a coincidence if she just randomly died in such a bizarre, unlikely way. Right after her controversial husband called out AIPAC and Israel like no elected official ever has, on one of the largest platforms in the world. It’s possible for people to die without being killed by shadowy conspirators. But unnatural deaths don’t seem to happen often to those who don’t represent a threat to anyone powerful. The Rockefellers, the Royal Family, usually live to be centenarians. And Henry Kissinger became the first obese human in history to make it to 100. There’s a reason why they came up with that “the good they die young” thing.
Martin Luther King saying there are more important things than a long life, the night before his assassination. Huey Long reporting from the floor of the Senate that there was a plot brewing to assassinate him, and then being assassinated a month later. High ranking FBI official William Sullivan telling reporter Robert Novak that if anything happens to him, it was murder. Then dying in a hunting “accident.” Both Lincoln and JFK are said to have issued fatalistic statements about the possibility of being assassinated. Lincoln supposedly dreamed about it. Are these claims contrived irony? More poor players on the stage, following a script?
Picture background

Massie had been locking horns with the corrupt state for a long time. In 2014, he was the only member of Congress to vote against a bill naming Israel as a strategic partner of the United States. in 2020, he argued against the COVID mandates and compulsory vaccinations. In 2022, he was the sole member of the House voting against a nonbinding resolution condemning anti-Semitism. On Twitter, he maintained that the measure promoted censorship. Massie had called the police “keystone cops” for their lack of investigation into the real circumstances of January 6, 2021. Massie called for all elected officials to publicly disclose their citizenship status, a clear threat to the many dual citizens in Congress and elsewhere. He had been very critical of Speaker Mike Johnson, castigating him for supporting warrantless searches of private communications, and his capitulation on continual aid to Ukraine.
In 2023, when Tucker Carlson still had the top rated show on Fox News, Massie announced there that he would be serving on a committee patterned after the one chaired by Senator Frank Church in the mid-1970s, to investigate deep state corruption. You can bet he knows Oswald didn’t do it, and that Building 7 wasn’t hit by any plane. There doesn’t seem to be any updates about this potentially explosive committee. What happened to it? He introduced a bill to stop online censorship by the Biden administration. When Massie was critical of the harsh Israeli response to the October attack from Hamas, Chuck Schumer blasted him for his “anti-Semitic” and “dangerous” comments. Massie tweeted back, “If only you cared half as much about our border as you do my tweets.”
Just a few months ago, in May, Massie was one of the most vocal opponents of the absurd Antisemitism Awareness Act, which passed the House easily with bipartisan support. Massie pointed out that “anti-Semitism” under the law would be defined by a holocaust remembrance web site. Massie cited examples of “anti-Semitism” under that law that include questioning anything about the holocaust, comparing Israeli policy to the Nazis, claiming Jews have disproportionate power, among other things. He tweeted, “Do you agree with all of these examples of antisemitism? Should people in America be prosecuted for saying these things in all contexts? I think not. This is a poorly conceived unconstitutional bill and I will vote no.” If Zionist interests have undue influence in this country, Massie would certainly be a threat to them.
There is a history of public figures speaking out about official corruption, and then winding up dead by unnatural causes. Remember the D.C. Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey? On March 13, 2008, Palfrey told Alex Jones live on air that she would never kill herself, and if she was found dead to consider it murder. On May 1, she was found hanging in a storage shed outside her mother’s home. Reporter Gary Webb, after exposing the CIA’s program to fill the inner cities with crack cocaine, described getting death threats and being followed, before he wound up with two bullets in his head. His family, incredibly, believes that he shot himself. Twice. That doesn’t seem like it would be an easy thing to do. Seth Rich’s family will sue you if you question who killed their son.
My books are full of these unnatural deaths. They are as much a part of the official corruption as the crimes and chicanery they’re associated with. These Body Counts go back at least to the days of FDR. One of his congressional critics, for instance, died while walking across the very busy Rock Creek Parkway. And one other minor detail- he was legally blind. A legally blind congressman decides to cross a bustling street like that. Nothing to see here, move along, folks. It’s rumored that LBJ ordered a hit on his own sister. Most people know about the impressive, and seemingly never ending Clinton Body Count. The Kennedy Body Count is unique in that it consists primarily of dead Kennedys, not dead enemies.
Many of these deaths are beyond unnatural. How many people do you know whose bodies were found in the woods? I don’t mean homeless drug addicts, I mean wealthy backers of someone like Bill Clinton. One reporter actually investigating the JFK assassination was killed by a karate chop to the throat as he exited his shower. You read that correctly. Probably the only death of its kind in recorded history. One of Hillary’s more recent enemies died when a barbell crushed his throat in a gym. Even more recently, there was Mark Middleton, the guy who signed Jeffrey Epstein into the White House so many times. Found hanged. With a bullet hole to the chest. “The authorities” concluded suicide. They didn’t explain which came first- the bullet or the rope. Tell me again why anyone would trust “the authorities.”
It is all too common for frightened people to claim “they” are going to get them. And then someone does get them. The guy who made a critical movie about Dubya joking on camera about being killed. And then he is killed, under typically strange circumstances. Jerry Parks, one of then Governor Bill Clinton’s security detail, upon hearing about Vince Foster’s “suicide,” told his family and friends, “I’m next.” Then someone, still unidentified, opens fire on his car and makes his prediction come true. The two young Black men from Obama’s church. Michael Hastings, crashes his car into a tree right after saying he’s “going off grid” to work on an important story. Andrew Breitbart, drops dead after saying he’s going to reveal the “truth” about Barack Obama at Harvard. The list is endless. And ongoing.
We know that the budgets for all our intelligence agencies have always been classified. The public somehow doesn’t have a right to know how much taxpayer money is being spent on them. So they surely don’t have a right to know what that money is being spent on. More than sixty years ago, taxpayers were financing a whorehouse in San Francisco, where the CIA would feed LSD to the unsuspecting Johns. They paid for laughable, Get Smart-like attempts on Fidel Castro’s life. Poisoning his toothbrush and the like. It’s a national security thing, you wouldn’t understand. They even considered staging a fake Second Coming of Christ off the shores of Cuba. And then, of course, there was Operation Northwoods, with its real and fake plane crashes, murders and mayhem, to be falsely blamed on Cuba. You know, the kind of “hoax” Alex Jones was prosecuted for.
So with those top secret intelligence budgets, is it really that outlandish to suggest that there exists an elite Hit Squad, in a dark corner of the Military Industrial Complex, whose job it is to silence whistleblowers and inconvenient witnesses? Sometimes a family member is targeted instead of the troublemaker. For example, one of the most important (and overlooked) JFK assassination researchers was housewife Shirley Martin. After her daughter died in a car crash, a heartbroken Martin withdrew from the case. So going after the beloved wife of the country’s most dangerous congressional representative wouldn’t be surprising. I’m not saying that anyone murdered Rhonda Massie. I have no idea, and no one is providing the details to those who are interested. But her death is exceedingly strange, especially coming on the heels of that remarkable interview.
Thomas Massie is a good man. In my view, he is the best member of Congress since Ron Paul. I don’t want to add to the heartache he must be feeling. I actually asked him to write the Foreword to American Memory Hole. He politely declined, but at least he responded. I respect his privacy, and his primary concern now is obviously the welfare of his children and grandchildren. It will be interesting to see if, when he returns to the public arena, Massie remains as steadfastly courageous as he has been since entering Congress. If he changes his stance on Israel, or even invites AIPAC back into his office, then we’ll know. Maybe he’ll be one of the very few incumbents who doesn’t win reelection. Watching that interview, I know he’s strong. He’s the hale and hearty type that traveled by stagecoach and built the frontier. My thoughts and prayers go out to him.
If there is a Hit Squad, we can’t fear them. Despite hints to the contrary, they’re human beings, like all of us. They aren’t special or superior. Unless they really are reptilians, or the highest ranking Satanists have some kind of evil superpowers. I fear God’s judgment, not immoral enforcers for a corrupt elite. I hope Thomas Massie talks about it. He must have suspicions, if he doesn’t literally know what happened to his wife. I hope he isn’t already being advised by an AIPAC “babysitter.” But it won’t surprise me if his views suddenly become more mainstream. I don’t want to see photos of him at the Wailing Wall. Or learn that he’s finally been invited to Bohemian Grove. Or joined Angelina Jolie and the other dignitaries in the CFR. Whatever he does, I’ll understand. His life has already been a real profile in courage.
 

AIPAC Boasts of Influence Over Congress, Ousting 'Eleven Anti-Israel Candidates'​

aipac-boasts-of-election-wins.jpg
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is once again openly bragging about the success of their foreign influence operation paying off our representatives to advance the interests of Israel.

The lobbying group released a video on Wednesday boasting about how they "endorsed 362 candidates and won in every primary we had a candidate on the ballot!"

"We helped our friends win and defeated 11 anti-Israel candidates," they added.


"I'm a firm believer that no candidate wins an election on their own," Rep. Sarah K. Elfreth, who received $4.2 million from AIPAC for her campaign in Maryland's 3rd District, says in the video. "I just want to extend my sincere gratitude to this community for helping me get to Congress and ensure everybody that you're going to have a long-term friend."

"[When] AIPAC comes in, it's like someone threw you a life raft," AIPAC-funded Rep. John McGuire of Virginia's 5th District says.

As Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie noted earlier this year, virtually every member of Congress has an "AIPAC babysitter" who guides them on how to vote in the interests of Israel.

"It's the only country that does this," Massie said.

Massie said last year that AIPAC should have to register as foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

"I actually won't accept the premise that AIPAC has the right to interfere in an American election on behalf of a foreign country," Massie said.

AIPAC spent over $300,000 on attack ads against Massie this election but he won reelection anyways.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, March/April 2025, pp. 49-51

Special Report​

By Bruce Fein

THE LIFE OF THE LAW is neither logic nor justice. Raw power is paramount whether in lawmaking, interpretation or application. French poet and journalist Anatole France captured the idea in this quip: “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”

Israel occupies the apex of power in the United States. Notwithstanding his ongoing criminal trial in Israel for breach of trust, bribery and fraud and the arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu received 55 standing ovations in addressing a joint session of Congress on July 24, 2024, a high-water mark of legislative exuberance. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) related to Tucker Carlson that he is the only Republican in Congress not to have an American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) minder. AIPAC is notorious for brandishing its financial clout to crush political opposition, as it did in 2024 with former House members Cori Bush (D-MO) and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).

U.S. LAWS WITH​

It is no surprise, therefore, that the law is routinely warped to cosset or shield Israel. One prominent example is the Leahy Law of 1997, which prohibits security assistance to any security unit of a foreign country credibly accused of a gross violation of human rights, such as extrajudicial killing, torture or prolonged arbitrary detention. The State Department has de facto carved out an Israel exception to the Leahy Law. No Israeli security unit has ever been disqualified from U.S. security assistance despite what all the world knows and can see in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East.

Author James Bamford, in his meticulously documented book Spyfail, confirms AIPAC is an unregistered “foreign agent” of Israel under the Foreign Agents Registration Act that the U.S. Department of Justice ignores. Registration is required of an entity that, among other things, acts at the “request” of a foreign principal to influence the public policy of the United States. To believe Prime Minister Netanyahu has never “requested” AIPAC in body language or clues to influence Congress and public opinion to support Israel after Oct. 7, 2023, takes fantasy to a new level. AIPAC worked hand in hand with the Israeli government to oppose the sale of AWACs to Saudi Arabia in 1981. Did the left hand not know what the right hand was doing? Think of an analogy. When King Henry II, during a Christmas dinner with four knights in 1170, rhetorically asked, “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” the words were understood as a request to murder Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, which promptly ensued.

Predictably, the Internal Revenue Code has also been warped to benefit the Israel war machine. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is instructed to disregard form over substance in administering the tax code. Section 7701 (o) (5) (A) of Title 26, for instance, disregards transactions without any valid material business purpose. The doctrine of substance over form logically applies to the operations of tax-exempt charities under section 501 (c) (3) of the code.

Treasury regulations underscore that a tax-exempt entity must operate exclusively to advance charitable purposes, which exclude supporting or subsidizing military objectives. A tax-exempt organization must align with established public policy according to the 1983 ruling of the United States Supreme Court in Bob Jones University v. United States: “[E]ntitlement to tax exemption depends on meeting certain common law standards of charity—namely, that an institution seeking tax-exempt status must serve a public purpose and not be contrary to established public policy.” Supporting a foreign government is not a recognized charitable purpose.

Based on these background tax exemption principles, an indeterminate number of 501 (c) (3) organizations with an Israel nexus seem in violation of their tax-exempt status. One Israel Fund’s stated mission is “fostering the flourishing of Jewish life in all areas of our Biblical Heartland, as well as other regions throughout Israel.” Among other things, the fund is raising donations to equip West Bank settlers with military equipment and infrastructure. That includes “dozens of command and dispatch centers throughout West Bank settlements and roughly $250,000 to add searchlights, PA systems and Israeli military communications systems to vehicles the military has purchased for settler security teams.”

One Israel Fund is performing an Israeli government function in the West Bank, which is a disqualifying, non-charitable purpose. Further, the International Court of Justice has issued an advisory opinion to the United Nations General Assembly declaring the West Bank settlements illegal. The United States professes support for international law, and thus One Israel Fund’s support for West Bank settlements would misalign with U.S. public policy, disqualifying it from tax-exempt status.

The tax-exempt Jewish National Fund has donated millions of dollars to support Israeli West Bank settlers and settlement expansion. Hebron Fund is raising donations for surveillance equipment for Israeli settlements in Hebron. American Friends of Ateret Cohanim provides military equipment to Jerusalem settlers. HaYovel is raising funds for the purchase and distribution of security items for settlers, such as night vision binoculars, protective vests, aerial surveillance drones, helmets and flashlights. American Friends of Sar El places American volunteers on Israeli military bases across the West Bank and Israel. All these organizations seem in violation of their section 501 (c) (3) status because these activities are misaligned with U.S. policy regarding international law and are substitutes for functions of the government of Israel. The tax-exempt status of the Ari Fuld Project seems equally dubious. Its stated objective is to help “[Israel Defense Forces] units around the country gear-up for fighting.”

It is likely that the foregoing examples are but the tip of the iceberg of synagogues or other Jewish entities raising funds to provide security equipment to armed militias in the West Bank or Gaza, especially after Oct. 7, 2003.

The IRS predictably has not lifted a finger to investigate these tax-exempt organizations. It marches to the Israel lobby, not the law, just like the Justice Department has done nothing to enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act. That leaves the judicial branch as the last best hope for enforcing U.S. law.

CHALLENGING THE ISRAEL EXCEPTION: THE QUESTION OF STANDING​

In theory, a private party or organization like the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) could sue the IRS to revoke the tax-exempt status of organizations that are directly or indirectly acting as surrogates for the Israeli government or providing funds or equipment to support military or illegal settler ambitions. The constitutional doctrine of Article III “standing,” however, is a Gordian knot that would need to be cut at the outset.

Standing requires a plaintiff to credibly allege an imminent or actual concrete injury that is proximately caused by the alleged illegal conduct and would reasonably be likely to be remedied by a judgment in the plaintiff’s favor. The alleged section 501 (c) (3) violations predominantly threaten West Bank Palestinians with actual or imminent death, physical or mental harm, displacement or destruction of property. Finding such plaintiffs, however, would be challenging. Moreover, standing might still fail because the West Bank Palestinians would not seem to fall within the “zone of interests” protected by the statutory limitations on the operations of section 501 (c) (3) organizations.

Proximate cause is also a problem. A plaintiff would need plausibly to allege that military assistance provided by the section 501 (c) (3) entity is a substantial cause of the imminent fear of death, injury, displacement or destruction of property by the IDF or settler militias. That nexus seems dubious because the volume of security assistance provided by a single section 501 (c) (3) entity is probably relatively small compared with all the militarily useful resources available to the IDF or private militias. And even if the tax-exempt status of a scofflaw organization were revoked, it might continue to provide the disqualifying military-related assistance as a non-exempt organization; or the IDF or militias might find substitute recourses elsewhere, leaving the imminent threat to the plaintiff undiminished.

As an organization, the ADC could not claim standing simply because its ideological mission in whole or in part is to lessen violence or threats against Palestinians in the West Bank or Gaza. Ideological injury does not satisfy Article III standing according to the 1976 Supreme Court decision in Simon v. EKWRO. The ADC would need a member who independently would qualify as a plaintiff to have standing. That is unlikely for the reasons elaborated above. Federal courts in general have been extremely unfriendly to private parties who claim to have standing to challenge the tax-exempt status of section 501 (c) (3) entities; the 1989 decision in In re U.S. Catholic Conference is one of many examples of judicial hostility to such arguments.

A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT​

Federal courts may be unfriendly, but this does not mean that they are incapable of change. The law must be courted, not taken by storm. Decades are often required to upend ill-conceived precedents. It took 58 years to overturn the benighted separate-but-equal doctrine of the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson with the color-blind mandate of the 1954 landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.

The time to start challenging Israel’s privileged status under the law is now. President John F. Kennedy was wont to relate the story of French marshal and statesman Hubert Lyautey’s instruction to his gardener to plant a tree. When told that it might take a century to mature, Lyautey memorably retorted, “In that case, plant it this afternoon.”

"He's Not Jewish Anymore," Trump Slams Chuck Schumer as Social Media Explodes with Fury After Arrest​

Labeling Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) a “Palestinian,” President Donald Trump again sought to conjure a line between American politicians who support various aspects of the Palestinian cause and those who support Israel’s right to fully defend itself against terrorist actors in the region like Hamas.

The case has been made repeatedly that one can support Israel’s self-defense and still lament the plight of Palestinians in Gaza who have lost their homes and livelihoods as Israel’s response to the sadistic October 7 attacks created enormous collateral damage in pursuit of its effort to eradicate Hamas.

Indeed, many Democrats like Schumer and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) — not exactly a member of The Squad — support both humanitarian treatment of Palestinians displaced by the war and Israel’s response to the attacks.

Trump’s declaration today that Schumer is “not Jewish anymore” is an effort to paint Schumer as a “radical leftist” — a Trump favorite phrase — who places his support for Palestinians over his support for Israel and his own heritage.

[Schumer recently objected, on potential First Amendment grounds, to the arrest and detainment of Columbia University campus activist Mahmoud Khalil. Maintaining that he “abhors” Khalil’s positions, Schumer nevertheless insists that the rule of law requires the Trump administration to “articulate any criminal charges or facts that would justify his detention or the initiation of deportation proceedings against him.”]

Some commenters suggested that Schumer’s bar need not be met in order to legally deport Khalil, as seen below.

Trump characterized the man instead of the argument, saying: “Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore.”

The complexity and divisiveness of the issues here run historically deep, and the reactions represent a passionate polarity of opinion.

One MAGA adherent writes: “Khalil is a non-citizen, non-student activist fomenting violent riots and indoctrinating a college campus for a designated foreign terror organization. He called to ‘eradicate Western Civilization,’ and must be deported.”

While former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance argues that Khalil’s detainment is “not an attempt to protect Jewish Americans from antisemitism. That is a complicated problem that requires education and a long-term commitment. If they were actually concerned about it, Trump's white supremacist, pro-Nazi supporters, including the guy who threw a couple of Nazi salutes recently would meet a similar fate.”

[NOTE: A recent Gallup poll revealed “about three-quarters of Democrats, 76%, are in favor” of an independent Palestinian state, “compared with 53% of independents. While 41% of Republicans support a Palestinian state, 49% are opposed.”]

Observers were reminded of Trump’s campaign assertion in September 2024 when he said “Anybody who's Jewish and loves being Jewish and loves Israel is a fool if they vote for a Democrat.” He told Jewish Americans planning to vote for Kamala Harris that "you should have your head examined."

When he was President in 2019, Trump said at the White House: “In my opinion, you vote for a Democrat, you’re being very disloyal to Jewish people, and you’re being very disloyal to Israel, and only weak people would say anything other than that.”

Accusing Jewish Americans, especially those in New York, of insufficient support for Israel — and of being less than adequately Jewish — is something Trump has done often. Last year, recounting a 2015 campaign trip to Iowa, Trump said of Iowa Christians: "They love Israel. I hate to say it, sometimes they love Israel much more than Jewish people in New York love Israel."

(Original story 10/17/14): The trailer and initial Kickstarter campaign for Jim Traficant: the Congressman of Crimetown made its first appearance back in November 2011. It looked fabulous and clearly there was no more suitable subject for a documentary than Jim Traficant, the bombastic, disgraced and polarizing politician with the weed-cutter haircut (read: toupee).

With Traficant's recent death, the film's directors and producers are very close to finishing the project, albeit with a different ending than they had imagined just a month ago. So they're back to Kickstarter looking for some funds to put the cap on what looks to be a fabulous project. They'll be submitting to Sundance and other film festivals.

9/23/14 - After working relentlessly since filming began in 2009, I made a DVD of my feature documentary, Traficant: The Congressman of Crimetown, for submission to the upcoming Sundance Film Festival. In Youngstown and LA, respectively, my producer Jeff Alberini and I celebrated this benchmark.

Later that same evening, around 8pm, Jim Traficant flipped his vintage tractor in an accident that would eventually cost him his life. In that moment, we inherited a deeper responsibility and mission.

Truth be told, we had been prepping this Kickstarter campaign the week before Traficant's passing and decided to hit the pause button.

Now, we feel the time is appropriate to ask for your support. We need your help to finish up this decade long endeavor. We're currently crafting a new ending given the circumstances and buttoning up remaining details.
