They called the warmonger and ultra conservative John McCain a “moderate” too. And the liar Colin Powell a “statesman”. The Drone executioner in chief and spook family scion Barry O they told us was mr “Hope and Change”, The corrupt warmonger neocon Hillary Clinton was packaged as “highly qualified modern feminist” and Genocide Joe also packaged as a “moderate”

So no surprise here. Lieberman was a neocon republican, a zionist, and as senator for Connecticut, the home base of the venture capital and insurance moguls, a lifelong tool of the financial industry’s long term rape of the American economy and the American people.

Sad but yes there are people willing to live their entire life like this.

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..."

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.

The moment this piece opened to that photo of Connecticuthroat Joe, I had to clamp shut my jaws lest I expel my mouthful of morning coffee onto my keyboard; a reaction denoting how much I detested the man. For me, he symbolized the insouciance and gross cognitive incompetence of the too-comfortable class in uber-wealthy NYC suburbs like Greenwich, where the mansions and chemlawns have primacy; where America's working poor and homeless are just a nuisance, its "intelligence" agencies necessary tainted saints, its endless wars and murderous international interventions essential for national security; where Israel is the pinnacle of a culture to be reified. In short, Joe was an imperialist pig scumbag; everything I have ever considered most distasteful and destructive about the society I was born into. If there's a hell, burn in its deepest pit, mofo.

Yes, thanks, but I almost had a 2nd spasm when I recalled how Al Gore that wonderful Democrat chose Joe as his running mate in 2000. And even beyond that zoo of the 2000 election-selection (democracy, bwa ha ha), it brought back images of the Clinton-Gore boys and how glad I was that I voted for Perot in '92 as the beginning of my rejection of the democratic party. Long history with these fools, including Joe scummy Lieberman.

I have lived in Govt. housing in London BUT this was years ago and it wasn't a cement block.

I worked for a company who helped single parent families to get housing. We had old people in the same houses. It worked out very well. The older people helped with babysitting and gardening. Also lending some wise advice.

Greed, power and control have been features of the US for a long time. The right wing fascism and militarism of the 50's and early 60's, HUAC, Joe McCarthy, the US perpetrated genocide in Korea, the beginnings of the US phase of the Vietnam war were not some kind of golden age. The atrocities were masked by the massive transfer of wealth and power to the US from the rest of the world. Some of that trickled down to the rest of us as the US got its empire sorted out, but that was a bug and not a feature.

Speaking of engineering consent, the coverage of the Baltimore cargo ship crash presents a perfect case study of literally engineering consent on engineering solutions, a kind of negative variant of Naomi Klein's "disaster capitalism" (in this case, the disaster is being used to cover up real solutions instead of providing a sham rationale for corporate "reform").

The headlines read that the bridge "collapsed", when in fact it was knocked down. The "collapse" metaphor attempts to shoehorn a shipping safety issue into an infrastructure investment issue.

This does huge things: 1) it blames government and allocates the costs of both the bridge rebuild and future prevention strategies onto the public taxpayer; and

2) it lets the entire global logistics system off the hook from multi-billon dollar costs of paying for the bridge replacement and new prevention measures, like regulatory safety mandates like tug boat escorts and dual redundant power and navigation systems on these huge cargo ships and repeal of liability laws that provide huge subsidies and undermine safety.

As an illustration, NPR just interviewed a structural engineer and the entire focus was on bridge engineering, collapse causes, and engineered devices to deflect ships away from crashing into bridges. When the final question was asked: how can new prevent future vessel strikes, the structural engineer proposed more engineering and said nothing about real safety plans and regulations.

Not that industry shouldn’t be held duly accountable, but at least infrastructure is a reasonable thing for taxpayer money to be spent on. As opposed to what hawks like Lieberman would propose.

Expand full comment
Mark Keating's avatar

Well, yes and no. Public dollars paid for that bridge in the first place. My opinion is that those responsible for knocking it down should pay for its restoration, the environmental remediation, and losses incurred because of the downtime caused by the crash. Not to mention the pain and suffering of the families of the workers who were killed. That most of all.

"It’s a well-documented fact that the rich and powerful pour vast fortunes into manipulating the political and media landscape in ways that serve their interests."

What does this say about the medias never ending fascination with the downfall of Trump - (check your TDS for a minute ) look at it from a cui bono perspective. The medias non-stop coverage of trump gives him never ending free press and makes him a martyr. The overwhelming coverage from all sides puts Trumps name on the lips of every person paying attention. He doesn't really have any significant competitor for the presidency and the last time he was in office he hired nothing but swamp creatures. Trump is the establishment insider being pushed into the presidency.

Why is he being promoted like he is if its not for the benefit off the rich and powerful ?

They control the media and the shared narrative yet they let Trump get daily coverage.

You can't convince me that the political strategists, rich and powerful and media types don't understand how they are empowering him ! They not only do it anyway, they continue to ramp up the coverage.

Why ? Inquiring minds want to know who benefits ?

The deep state already has plans for that, the results of your revolution will just be further enslavement. When the dollar collapses over the next several years things will get more difficult and socialism will be promoted as the answer.
