our love affair with israel

To All Believers In Life After The Empire,

 

    Our Love Affair With Israel. 

 

Here's how I see it.  First, despite our outrage to such an idea, governments do not just dish out foreign aid for altruistic reasons. 

There is always a hook, a benefit to the benefactor. 

The most benign would be for the purpose of gaining friendship and support toward furthering the goals of the giver.  This often is to their mutual benefit.  Of course the extreme is the conquest of another people, and often the attempt to either enslave or annihilate them(see A People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn). 

The relationship between Israel and the International Corporate Empire falls in the former group.  We are mutually using one another.  Israel is actually nothing more than a massive outpost for the purpose of controlling the Middle East and protecting the interests of the expanding Empire.  Israel is therefore a Puppet State.  It would not matter to the Empire if Israel were a democratic state or a totalitarian state.  The people could be Jews, Christians, Devil Worshippers or Wild Eyed Atheists.  Just so long as they were cooperating with Big Brother. 

The sad truth is that we, the so called Middle Class Americans, are just as much under the boot of the International Corporate Empire.  This Empire knows no national boundaries, nor holds loyalties to any.  But many of us are still stuck with our heads in the sands of the past.  We want to believe all of the propaganda that made us feel important and different than everyone else in the world. 

If we were able to step away from these childhood Fairy Tales and see the world as if we were just arriving from Outer Space, we would find that what now confuses us, makes perfect sense.  We would see a sprawling Empire encircling the entire Planet Earth.  Like a giant Cancer, it will suck all of the resources out of the Globe and leave it a dying husk. 

What might have been the Good Caretakers of this beautiful planet, has become a giant tumor, crowding out any hope of survival. 

But that's just my silly spin on events.  I could be wrong.  But just in case, I'm watching the sky for the return of my space ship.
