ed note–reposted in light of the new ‘case investigation’ that has been opened up here in trying to come to rational terms with what is an obvious (to everyone except the willingly blind or irretrievably stupid) gang war taking place at present between 2 enormous monsters–Judea, Inc and Trump, Inc over who gets the final say in terms of what America is to be and how America is to be used in world affairs.
Please pay close attention to the section in the piece detailing/discussing the trip made by GWB to Israel in the waning days of his administration and the obvious coded threats of doom for the United States made to him by a delegation of ultra right wing rabbis who met Bush ON THE TARMAC at Ben Gurion airport.
In particular, keep in mind the following–
‘You certainly know what the God of Israel did to Egypt…’
The story of Egypt in the OT is the story of economic collapse as outlined in the book of Exodus, to wit–
‘Every Israelite woman will ask for articles of silver and gold and fine clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and from the foreign women in their houses. You will dress your sons and daughters with these, stripping the Egyptians of their wealth.’
Also pay close attention to those expectations that the rabbis had vis a vis Bush and the manner in which the American military was to be used for Israel’s sustenance and support–
‘Do you imagine you can escape from the struggles in Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon?’
