Netanyahu tape reveals utter contempt that Israel, its agents, and their imperious Left-Right useful idiots have for American nationhood

From:
Bibi Unmasked
Caught on tape: what the Israelis really think of us

(Antiwar.com) -- by Justin Raimondo --

In 2001, Bibi Netanyahu paid a condolence call on a group of Israeli settlers in the village of Ofra, widows whose husbands had been killed in the Intifada: the videotaped conversation has just been leaked, and broadcast by Israel’s Channel 10, and it is a blockbuster.

...What’s interesting – and embarrassing – about this leak isn’t the “revelation” that Israel’s amen corner in America exerts a decisive influence on US policymakers: who didn’t know that? The Israel lobby constantly boasts of it, while critics of US subservience to Tel Aviv consistently decry it. What we didn’t know, however, is how much the Israelis disdain us for it: “It’s absurd,” avers Bibi, and the settler lady, laughing, agrees with him. She, being an ardent nationalist, cannot conceive of a government that puts the interests of another nation over and above its own. Perhaps Bibi has a better idea of how the Israelis pulled that particular rabbit out of Uncle Sam’s hat, but emotionally it’s clear that he, too, finds the weakness of the Americans incomprehensible.

After all, it’s odd when you think about it: why would the mightiest empire the world has ever seen – a nation that spends more on its military establishment than all other nations of the world combined – kowtow before a country barely the size of Delaware? How is it that every attempt to heal this breach in our national security armor and our interests in the region – the running sore of the Palestinian question – has ended in utter failure, due entirely – as Bibi boasts – to the efforts of the Israelis to undermine it? How does the prime minister of a dinky little country almost entirely dependent on American largess stand up to the Emperor of the World – and win?

The answer is that American imperialism has spawned a global hegemon quite unlike the empires of the past: the British, the French, the Romans, the Macedonians, and as far back as it’s possible to know, all planted their flag on foreign soil to the glory and in the name of the nation. That is, they were nationalists, albeit of the dangerous outward-looking sort (as opposed to the inward-looking, contemplative variety that held sway in the US until the turn of the last century, commonly derided by our elites as “isolationists.”)

We, on the other hand, have a different self-conception. By no means do we ever acknowledge that we are indeed an empire, except when someone is trying to be provocative (or unless he’s a foreigner). We are supposed to be different from all the rest, because, you see, America – according to both neoconservatives and liberals – is a nation founded not on a sense of place, but around an abstract idea. To the neocons, it’s the idea of meritocracy (which, they figure, puts them on top), to the liberals it’s “equality” (which, they figure, puts them on top).

What they have in common, in spite of their superficial differences, is their insistence on deviating from the traditional concept of nationhood and, instead, conjuring up an ideological construct to put in its place, just as the Jacobins tore down the religious artifacts of Paris and erected in their place a statue to the Goddess of Reason. Thousands of lives were sacrificed on that bloody altar before it was over, just as many hundreds of thousands have been offered up to the American god of “Democracy” over the years.

Yet this democracy we claim to practice is the fatal chink in our armor, the means by which a much weaker enemy can easily manipulate and even fatally undermine us from afar, without any show of force except political strength. And this strength need not be derived from the support of the American majority. Since most could not care less about foreign policy matters, this indifference allows a weird coalition of pro-Israel neocons, Democratic party “liberals” in debt to pro-Israel donors, and fanatical Christian “Zionists” to dominate the debate, capture elite opinion, and set US policy on a course Bibi admits is “absurd.”

What this conundrum underscores is the truth of the Paulian-paleoconservative principle, repeated many times in many different ways in this space, that you can’t have a republic and an empire: it’s one or the other. This is true not only because empires are constantly defending and extending their frontiers, and are in a state of constant warfare, which requires a centralized authority and the consolidation of State power, but also due to the peculiar vulnerability of democratic institutions to foreign subversion. An America that refused on principle to interfere in the affairs of other nations would have little or nothing to fear from foreign lobbyists and fifth columnists: on the other hand, a “democratic” empire in which the emperor is subjected to all sorts of political pressures, including the necessity of raising obscene amounts of money just in order to keep his throne, is indeed “something that can be easily moved,” as Bibi put it...MORE...LINK

Chris Moore comments:

This article nicely illustrates why, for America, libertarian nationalism and a return to the Constitutional rule of law can be the only effective nation-salvaging response to the kind of nation-destroying subversion that has taken root in our soil, be it by Zionists, La Raza, Black nationalists, or any other cohesive, hostile, ethnocentric racial spoils group.

No doubt, a lot of European countries (and others the world over) will view America as a laboratory experiment on the long-term viability of multi-culturalism, and conclude it's not worth the conflicts, hassles, headaches, subversion, and threat to national security and harmony. Indeed, America is probably finished as any kind of model for any country aspiring to sustained international imperiousness, be it geopolitical, economic, or otherwise. In fact, it's likely that hegemonic international Empires truly are a thing of the past -- and good riddance.

But American can still be salvaged for the American people through a nationalism under the rule of law by expelling subversive and treasonous foreign nationalists, beating back internationalist statist liberals and socialists on the Left, globalist money-worshippers and Judeo-Christian Zionists on the Right, and their joint war against American sovereignty, and returning the country to its Constitutional roots and economy.

Long term, it seems clear that to hold it all together we’re faced with either taking this route, the neocon/neolib/Zionist route of resorting to domestic totalitarianism to hold it all together at gun point (which, like the Soviet Union, will only work temporarily anyway) or breaking the country up entirely.

Of the three, American patriots have only one choice, and that’s libertarian nationalism.

Israelis, Jews Dominate Simply Because Of Masses Of Money--Which They Just COUNTERFEIT Up--While Stupid Gentiles Indulge In Moralism
(Apollonian, 22 Jul 10)

Chris: I have to admit I'm a little disappointed w. ur response to the blog-topic story by Raimondo. See LibertarianToday.com, "Netanyahu Tape...," 22 Jul 10. For u utterly fail to sum Raimondo up for proper object of his story and commentary.

For it's incredibly simple why/how Israel soooooooo dominates stupid, brainless, hedonistic, hubristic sheep of USA--THEY JUST BUY EVERYTHING and everyone they need by means of COUNTERFEITED money printed up by US Federal Reserve Bank (Fed)--see RealityZone.com for expo/ref.

And u CERTAINLY DON'T help, brother Chris--though u do rather point somewhat to necessary solution. For USA is like Roman Empire in midst of its infamous "Crisis of Third Century," which was only salvaged and rescued by means of that magnificent Christian revolution of St. Constantine the Great, featuring then JEW-EXPULSION--yes, another one.

For if now u look and consider, surely the greatest obstruction to necessary, regenerating, reviving Jew-Expulsion is "Judeo-Christian" (JC--see Whtt.org and TruthTellers.org for expo/ref.) hereticalists who say Christ was/is "Jew" (hence Talmudist, which Talmud he explicitly denounced at Gosp.s MARK 7:1-13 and MATT 15:3-9), and traitorously support enemy terror-state of Israel which did 9-11 (see Bollyn.com).

And why Chris?--what is ur problem?--I submit it's ur befuddled, mystified fascination with moralism-Pharisaism by which u pretend to "good-evil" delusion/fallacy/heresy (Pelagianism), this based upon further fallacy/delusion of a perfectly "free" human will.

Thus u fail so horribly for necessary duty of emphasizing for our poor, dear people necessity of looking to and seeing simple CONCRETE problem of afore-mentioned COUNTERFEITING which gives the Jews and co-conspirators all their power.

For that is ur greatest sin, bro. Chris, urs and that of so many others, like Ron Paul too, within our horribly doooooooooomed society, this gross hubris and willful ignoring of simple, CONCRETE truth and reality (COUNTERFEITING) in the stead of pretending u're "good" and "moral."

CONCLUSION: For u're nothing at all whatever but a dog-goned SINNER, and that's all u'll ever be--and ur basic failure is that of HONESTY and heeding to simple CONCRETE reality--which even children could otherwise understand but won't unless their attn is directed by responsible adults like u, who are otherwise fascinated and obsessed w. pretentious vanity, like moralism-Pharisaism. U're due for a long time in purgatory, comrade Chris, atoning for ur sin of narcissism, hubristically pretending u can be "good." Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian
