What utter nonsense.
Christians give more money to the Republicans and the democrats than jews do.
The imperialistic aim is to control oil, obviously.
And you have heard of it. Sometimes it's referred to as "Regime change". Other times it's financing dodgy dictators (Saddam and Musharev for example).
The US is now what England, Holland, France, Spain, Portugal and Belgium were 100 years ago.
We have propped up a lot of dodgy dictators, mostly because they opposed communists. It was a policy that didn't work out that well because those leaders mostly became corrupt (e.g. Saddam). In the end, it stifled democracy instead of spreading it like it was supposed to.
But the US doesn't have any colonies so how can we be like those nations? We WERE a colony -- we never needed the colonial system to provide an influx of raw materials and create a market for finished goods.
I'm just reading the new John Pilger book: "Freedom next time" and one of the chapters is on Palestine and a part of that is on his film titled: "Palestine is still the issue".
This was the title of the film he made in the 70's and when he went back in 2005, he made a film with the same title, because nothing had changed (read: things have become worse).
Zionists all over the world wrote into Granada TV (which showed the film) to complain about the biased reporting in it.
The Independend Television commission (ITC), however, found that a great many of the complaints resembled each other and were sent in by a group called: "Honest Reporting", which is a zionist lobby, which attacks any reporting on Israel, which isn't pro Israeli, as anti-semetic.
John Pilger received death threats, so did executives at Granada.
The ITC looked at all the complaints and found them unjust. The reporting was accurate, well founded and went through all appropriate channels.
I seriously suggest everyone gets hold of "Freedom next time" and has a read.
It is truly disgusting how there is a law for one group of people (be they from Palestine or from Diego Garcia) and another law for others (The West and our benefactors).
Israel has ignored 246 UN security council resolutions.
Go figure...
