Senator Joe Lieberman at an AIPAC convention

stated it clearly:

"I know some people do not appreciate just how deeply

American your organization is. They attack AIPAC as if it

were an external force in our body politic—an "Israel lobby."

These people are outrageously wrong.

************AIPAC is an American lobby, *************

fighting for the best ideals, values, and interests that the

United States of America and Israel share.

Senators Lieberman, Warner, Bayh and McCain co-sponsored the Senate bill.

AUTHORIZATION OF THE USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES AGAINST IRAQ -- (Senate - October 08, 2002)

[Page: S10063]

When it was Warner's turn to speak this good, observant Christian invoked The Lord

and thus a fearsome moment of Truth was uttered:

"I have been privileged to be a Member of this body nearly a quarter of a century now,

and if the good Lord returns me in January, it will mark the 25th year.

I cannot recall any moment when I have stood on the floor with a greater sense of humility

and pride to be associated with three more courageous individuals

than Senator Lieberman, Senator McCain, and Senator Bayh,

as we, ****the four horsemen****, work to direct and guide a resolution which the four of us put together with the assistance of the President, through his surrogates, and the leadership of the Senate on both sides of the aisle. It is our best effort to provide leadership to this body which we do so, the four of us, with a great sense of humility."

Any Bible thumper knows of the four horsemen -- Death, Famine , War, and Conquest.

Warner knew. What was he thinking?

"Senator Lieberman, Senator McCain, and Senator Bayh, as we, the four horsemen..."

“……..Senator Joe Lieberman at an AIPAC convention

But that is completely correct - AIPAC is deeply American. it’s a fifth columnist organization. As are other similar organisations like “Friends of the IDF”

https://www.fidf.org

American politics has been and is is riddled with money from ultra rich American citizens who are israeli citizens or have cultural ties to israel and view themselves as more israeli than American. The likes of Adelson, Jamie Dimon, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, and many others.

And then you also have the US foreign policy establishment which too is riddled by those like Blinken, Nuland, Kirby, Gates, etc who all are loyal to israel first and the US is simply a vehicle for fulfilling zionists needs.

In elected office you have the likes of Lieberman, but also Schumer and others who also believe they are chosen to serve israel, but just happen to be sitting in America.

These things are an existential problem for American democracy.

" We, the four horsemen ? " He actually said that or are you satirizing his speech ? These are dark times. The Polycrats ( Politicos, policy makers, legislators ) seem on a crash collision course towards WWIII ! Their oh-so- reasonable-sounding- on-the-news talking points aside.

Yes, this was for real.

Famine, War, and Pestilence. Death leads them from behind, on his white horse.
