"I believe I've learned more about this country's elite by reading Phil's blog this year, than I had in a lifetime."

Me too! I've been doing my best to spread the word about Phil's blog to everyone I know (and people I don't know). I want people to understand what's happening in this country, and unfortunately, much more often than not, I am met with bewilderment, or silence.

Just now I'm posting articles about Rahm Emanuel on facebook, in an attempt to illustrate his dual loyalty and how his decision-making is impacted by his affinity for Israel. But I don't think too many people understand. People in this country are so handicapped by the left-right paradigm, the Democrat versus Republican mantra, the idea that simply changing a president every four or so years makes a great deal of difference, without looking any further, like, say, at who the president surrounds himself with, how he's voted in the past, etc. The "establishment" has this country by the balls.

Why the **** would anyone who is pro-Israel care who is Treasury Secretary because of Israel? The Treasury Secretary has exactly zero influence on policy re Israel.

"Why the **** would anyone who is pro-Israel care who is Treasury Secretary because of Israel? The Treasury Secretary has exactly zero influence on policy re Israel."

The Treasury Secretary has tremendous influence on monetary policy. Wars are able to be continually funded by a country (the U.S.) with enormous international debt obligations and with less and less tangible wealth, because of the malfeasance of the Fed and its officials. Israel and its advocates would be quite interested in this, indeed.

HuffPo is home ground for the Lobby. They pretended Lebanon wasn't happening and they run mind-numbingly dull op-eds by Haim Saban's wife, whose maternal concern for all the world's unfortunates stops at the security fence in Palestine.

Pravda for progs.
