Leaders of the republican party have now openly professed to be an organization which is manipulated by foreign interests. In various articles on the internet they have openly declared that one of the prerequisites for any person who seeks the nomination of the party, is a declaration of allegiance to Israel, and devotion to furthering U.S. and Israeli relations. It makes no mention of the rule of law, or the sober dedication to justice and respect for the rights of the individual in making this assessment of veritable “blind servitude.”

There are many provisions in the United States Constitution which explicitly convey the intent to prevent any foreign country from influencing policies or laws within them, and sets out articles and sections therein with the express purpose of prohibiting those who do, from obtaining, or maintaining, any position of Trust or Profit.

This is why Article 1; Section 9, paragraph 8, states “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States; And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Furthermore, it states throughout the various articles that no person shall be appointed as an electorate in any state, for any office, if they are a Senator, Representative, or person holding an office of Trust of Profit under the United States. Thereby, both extricating the governance of the nation from foreign interests harbored by international trade, and preventing circumvention of the democratic process by the same.

Section 6, Paragraph 2, which states “No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been increased during such time; and no person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his continuance in Office,” clearly intends to prevent anyone aspiring to public office from being subject to, or a taking advantage of, a conflict of interest.

No person is eligible to serve in public office but that they are of qualifying age, are of reputable and recognizable citizen status for at least seven years, and has sworn or affirmed to execute such office to the best of their ability and to uphold, protect and defend the United States Constitution.

Unfortunately, these days, much of the indictment of the United States Government for seditious and treasonous acts is not only warranted, the likelihood is that much of it is being perpetrated with little actual complicity by a body of appointed officials who have become blinded by foreign interests.

While it can be said that far too many corrupt, or disingenuous, politicians seek elected office, the fact that the government, in and of itself, is operating under various illegitimate interpretations of its powers -- and thereby intrinsically corrupt -- naturally predisposes any less-than-auspicious public figure to fall prey to its wiles.

Essentially, many times the government is no more guilty than it is blind. And while knowledge of this propensity may be reason for indemnifying political figures for acts performed, or arguments proffered, while in public service, it does not in any way whatever exempt any politician from prosecution. Impeachment may be the final word of a duly elected congress, but in the duly sworn confines of the judiciary, which represents the power of the people, immunity is left naked on the courthouse steps.

Regardless of any sentiment for or against Israel or the Jewish religion, the fact is that Israel is a foreign nation in a foreign country, and engages in acts which are disparaging of the United Sates, and which are the result of laws in said jurisdiction, which in word and deed in no way conform to the United Sates constitution, nor of jurist prudence or due process of said law.

Astonishingly, former Secretary of State George P. Schultz say’s of derided Senate hopeful Tom Campbell -- who is accused of being anti-Semitic -- “He clearly understands the very real threats facing the Israeli people, all the more urgent now as Iran rushes toward nuclear arms.”

However, there are few threats that Israel finds itself facing, of which they have not either been a primary party to causing, or through contempt for the rule of law and human rights, have severely exacerbated

Schultz’s statement was made in response to attacks on Campbell’s character with relation to his support for Israel, which has come under fire lately as the GOP senate race begins to heat up.

There are even allegations that Carly Fiorina, one of Campbell’s two primary rivals including Orange County Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, has accused Campbell of being an “anti-Semite.”

The main inquiry is focused on one of Campbell’s campaign contributors, a donor who was later revealed to have ties to a U.S. listed terror organization. However, this listed organization may have been flying under the radar during the time when Campbell received the support.

The man in question -- who donated to Campbell’s 2000 Senate race -- is Sami Al-Arian, a former University of South Florida professor who pleaded guilty in 2006 to conspiring to help a terrorist organization.

The debate over Campbell’s “Israeli credentials” -- as one website puts it -- is heating up the Jewish and conservative websites, because of his reference to a Palestinian Homeland, and his voting record. And is allegedly a rare issue in American politics…

Yeah? Since when?

Supposedly this type of special interest posturing is less frequent in Republican primaries compared with Democratic ones, say’s Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at USC and former GOP political operative. Reiterating “Support for Israel is a pretty universal concept among Republicans. Support for Israel is a pretty broad-based concept in American politics.”

Of course this comes as no surprise to Israel, who published an article in “Maariv,” a major regional newspaper in that area, boasting “Jewish control of U.S. Government.”

Campbell is also being attacked by Israeli proponents who fault him for associating with Alison Wier, a controversial research journalist who is a fierce critic of Israel -- obviously exercising her rights under the first amendment which prevents abridging any individual’s freedom of speech. Which, by the way, almost no organization on the planet, including AIPAC, has ever been supportive of.

Weir has been accusing Israel of harvesting organs from imprisoned Palestinians. Which certainly presents as the type of antigen which typically stimulates the often baseless viral attacks that Israel is known for. One merely needs to seek exposure of the brutalities of Israel to be labeled an “anti-Semite” these days.

In the Miami Herald today they have given their opinion on Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s position concerning relations with Iran and the assertions of Hillary Clinton which she alleges reflects the majority of international sentiment.

The Herald claims that “even before Clinton could appeal for Silva to support sanctions against Iran for breaking the rules of nuclear-proliferation, the Brazilian President offered “this airy dismissal: ‘It is not prudent to push Iran against a wall’”

To which the Herald asks “what wall?” And then claims that “The United States and the world community have made a years-long effort to break down the barriers and engage Iran diplomatically about its nuclear program.” Claiming Iran’s answer was “Talk, talk, defy, defy.”

However, neither the Bush administration nor the Obama administration has done anything but endeavor to dictate to Iran on various policies and blindly support Israel in almost any action they engage regardless of how monstrous it may be, or appear to their neighbors.

The United States political and financial support of Israel cannot in any way be furthering relations with many of the Middle Eastern countries in that region, which is evidenced by the fact that this nation is now embroiled in various military conflicts in the region, and they are escalating with little sign of abating in the next decade.

Unfortunately, President Barack Obama has almost nothing to bring to the bargaining table and instead is merely a puppet of an AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) bureaucratic machine which typically displays utter disdain toward any entity which even so much as questions their motives. Their coalitions and counterparts routinely accuse skeptics of being bigots, simply for repudiating their many brutalities and racially biased actions.

The international community which the Herald is speaking of has seen fit to ignore Israel’s use of phosphor and mass casualty weapons such as the DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) ordinance which have both been condemned by international human rights organizations, and are being investigated by the U.N. Human Rights Council for their long term biological and carcinogenic effects on entire civilian populations.

Israel is even allowed to bulldoze and murder American activists, such as Rachel Corrie, with impunity, and kill Palestinian protestors -- who are merely throwing small stones -- with tear gas weapons and rubber bullets that are used in a lethal fashion, which is also prohibited by international law when engaging peaceful protestors.

Iran has many times in history felt the sting of CIA covert operations and coups which have destabilized their society and overthrown their duly appointed leaders. However, many of America’s elected officials act as if they take breakfast with Ahmadinejad every morning.

The Untied States memorializes nearly every qualm Israel has, or has ever had, while at the same time ignoring even the most blatant of atrocities against much of the rest of the Middle East. And this incessant posturing by American politicians will only weaken relations with a growing number of countries, and further steel Iran’s resolve to maintain inexplicably autonomous.

The Herald goes on to say that “It (presumably Iran) continued to play for time, engaging ‘negotiations’ even though its secret work to develop nuclear capability constituted an undeniable violation of U.N. rules.” Stating further that “George W. Bush…offered Iran economic and diplomatic incentives (including talks with the United States) in exchange for playing by the international rules of nuclear development.”

However, how can U.S. policymakers expect a country such as Iran to play by rules the United States, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, the UK, France, China, India, North Korea and South Africa do not play by? Moreover, the United States shares nuclear weapons with Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Turkey. Allegedly South Africa, who signed the non-proliferation treaty in 1991, has ceased all nuclear weapons construction, but that is largely debated.

Regardless of what reasoning is proffered in justification of this double standard, it likely bears absolutely no significant relevance to Iran’s international prognosis in the mind of Ahmadinejad. Furthermore, the main contention of the U.N., C.F.R. and other intercontinental security councils appears to be that Iran will suddenly launch a nuclear strike as soon as they can get an atomic weapon built.

However, there is no proof whatsoever that Iran would do anything more than what other countries have done, and that is use them as a bargaining tool.

Furthermore, the only countries who are proven to have employed the use of nuclear weapons are the United States and Israel, and the U.S. has been using them since before Desert Storm as Bunker Busters and other medium and large sized ordinance that are routinely coated, or infused, with Depleted Uranium.

To digress…

Much evidence also shows that the CIA has employed the use of Micro Nukes in various areas of the world, including assertions by Oklahoma City police sergeant Terry Yeakey -- later murdered in 1996, but ruled a homicide -- who told close friends of seeing small, un-detonated, nuclear devices in the Murrah building on the day of the Oklahoma City Bombing, where he witnessed federal agents carting them and other explosive devices to waiting vehicles. Dr. Charles Chumley, Yeakey’s close associate in a private investigation into the matter also died the same year of the bombing (1995) in questionable circumstances when his private plane took a nose-dive into a cabbage field shortly after take-off. Investigators could find no mechanical malfunction.

When one discovers that Timothy McVeigh was still in the military just months prior to the bombing, suspecting foul played by the Feds is not much of a stretch. Furthermore, there are many people who question the official reports of that day, and the conclusion that McVeigh acted alone.

But back to Iran and the Miami Herald’s “opinion.”

The Herald also claims that Obama offered Iran an olive branch “in his inaugural speech last year. ‘We will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”

Wow, Obama really showed some diplomacy there. Certainly was the very least he could do…uh, I mean say. Did the Obama administration ever show any action to back up this half-baked accusation? No, only more of the same quid pro quo that has time and again elicited the same responses from Iran; “Begin to hold Israel accountable for its brutality and blatant disregard for established borders in the region, and stop supporting their war machine…then we can talk.”

The Herald cites the “discovery last September of a secret nuclear enrichment plant inside a mountain near the Iranian city of Qom which underlined that government’s determination to become a nuclear power -- and its perfidy. And given this history, President Lula da Silva’s stance sounds dangerously obtuse and unworthy of a country that aspires to be considered an equal among the world’s leaders.”

So, there is no treachery on the part of Israel -- who, by the way, abstains from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty -- when it claims that it has no nukes?

In the late 80’s Israel claimed that the Negev Nuclear Research Center near Dimona was merely a textile factory. It was not until 1986, after it was exposed by former site technician Mordechai Vanunu to be an enrichment facility for manufacturing nuclear weapons, that Israel admitted it was a nuclear facility, but still stopped short of exposing their “perfidy” when claiming it was merely a “research facility.”

Israel first began secretly researching and building its nuclear weapons capabilities in the late 40’s with covert assistance from France, and has always maintained an “airy” posture of “nuclear ambiguity.” Israel, whenever questioned on the assertion that they possess between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads -- with the capability to deliver them via ICBM, aircraft and submarines -- simply states “Israel will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons to the region.” Which could mean any number of things, but is typically accepted as either; they will not produce them, or will just stop short of being the first to send them raining down on another country.

Regardless of what they are inferring, the fact is that they are hiding their nuclear activities as well as their intentions. Can they expect any more or less form others?

It appears that Iran is merely following the example set by its mendacious neighbors.

The Miami Herald believes that “diplomatic efforts to isolate Iran offer the best opportunity to end this looming crisis peacefully. A successful effort requires the international community to present a united front to oblige Iran to stand down.”

Sure, more force is going to get a peaceful reaction from them. What planet are these people living on? Inclusion in the process, and vilification of their voice and desires are what is necessary to decompressing the volatility of the “crisis.” And any proposals to the contrary belie a cowardly and inept viewpoint on the matter. Intuition would tell anyone with a 5^th grade education that ignoring a proposed threat will not make it go away. Furthermore, neither will exacerbating the threat with pressure cause it to relinquish its position. Especially if it may possess a significant amount of justifiable concerns that are not being addressed, or being overtly ignored.

The Herald even suggests coercing Brazil to act as the liaison of manipulation, and goad Iran into compliance with a dissenting compatriot image, but still voting for a new round of sanctions.

What? is this high school all over again? Or some other Confidential Informant mentality likened to some episode of SCI Miami? It appears these people have been watching way too much television, or drinking too much of their own Kool-Aide. They actually suggest whoring Bazil out to Iran and conscripting their services like some sort of double agent.

When reading the statements by President Silva, illuminating is obvious great deal of integrity -- that likely infuriates Hillary Clinton -- I doubt he would be obliged to play along.

The article actually say’s “Brazil has a seat on the current U.N. Security Council, where its vote on a proposed tightening of sanctions against Iran carries special weight because President Lula da Silva has made it clear he is no U.S. lackey. Support for sanctions by Brazil could go a long way toward persuading Iran that the game is up. Instead, the president’s words give Tehran’s mullahs solace and comfort they don’t deserve and bring the confrontation that no one wants that much closer to reality.”

It truly is astonishing how much sensationalism and doomsday edifice there is in the Miami Herald article. Does not anyone take the time to check the facts and the mountains of data which would alert them to the reality that it is prohibition and exclusionary tactics which reap the most corrupt and destructive effects.

Consider the analogy that if it were to get to the point that only one country had nuclear weapons, the chance that those weapons would be used increases by a factor concordant with the number of proposed targets. This is no reason to go MAD (mutual assured destruction) about the solution. However, it is reason to insist that the leaders of the many nations begin to truly engage the equations, and realize once and for all that pragmatism, and employing a mentality that incessantly expects to legitimize actions which follow an “ends justifies the means” schematic, will result in the entire game becoming a battle of the warheads rather than a battle of the wits.

Quit seeking answers, and begin understanding that they are only a terminal mechanism. For posterity and progress, one must realize that there is only engagement of the question.

As far as the spin-doctors are concerned, breaking news in the nation appears to be that the unemployment rate has held steady at 9.7 percent -- a rather sunny outlook indeed, which almost certainly does not truly reflect the actual figures.

But it certainly does fall in line with promoting the efforts of a failing president who doesn’t appear to be willing to raise so much as a finger to address the real issues which still harangue the nation’s markets and overall public net worth.

It’s so nice to be inundated with messages which praise the fact that the nation is still on a backward slide that has cost another 36,000 jobs this quarter, while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, celebrity shenanigans and duplicitous political agendas are splashed across the screens and magazine covers with minute by minute accounts of obese self-indulgence and lavish perversion amid the burgeoning theatre of depravity they abide.

Children have become the media’s new trick-ponies while maturity is denigrated as some form of mental health affliction to be avoided and medicated.

The gap in wealth across the nation is increasing and bureaucratic corporate pandering is at an all time high as the Supreme Court consistently rules against the sovereign individual -- in flagrant contempt for the constitution and the rule of law -- and rewards corporations for misfeasance, mendacity and environmental assault.

The working class can certainly wave goodbye to another round of jobs next quarter as the nation’s leaders push for more authoritarian rule with the assistance of big corporations, who by the way will shed more jobs as the impending grasp of accountability seeks to press them to pony up their share, and attacks the strategy of off-shore tax shelters.

More small businesses will go under because they cannot garner the subsidies awarded to large, often criminally complicit, conglomerates who can afford to buy legislators and pay lobbyists.

In this economic hail storm integrity is the new guillotine buzz-word for assuring one gets a pink slip, and the miscreant observer, shaking down consumers for kicks, is the new pro-talent in a corporate world that will spend more on lawyers and judicial bribes than they will on coming into compliance with the law.

Barack Obama’s Wall Street pandering and defunct foreign policies -- feigning diplomacy with a hidden dagger -- have only succeeded in further destabilizing the real estate market and sent shockwaves around the planet which will take decades to subside.

Countries such as Haiti are getting a full helping of Obama’s slight of hand as he furthers the aims of foreign companies which daily disregard the will of the common citizens who make up that nation. He has conscripted the United States Military for the express purpose of nation building while the Americans daily lose jobs, homes and lives here at home.

Nowadays breaking news in the nation has become an entirely less than genuine helping of pragmatic propaganda dished out by a monopoly of media moguls who have gobbled up much of the nation’s news deliver network as it went bankrupt in the slide to the bottom.

To all of the preposterous purveyors of disproportionate distraction, who obviously are doing everything they can to destroy this country’s auspicious heritage…“Do me favor and hold the applause until we crash…will ya !?”

Now President Barack Obama is personally appealing to the democratic party to “put aside their qualms, seize a historic moment” and vote for his massive health care overhaul.

However, this idealistic approach is rather old news which mainly presents as another disingenuous plea to get behind a less than intuitive agenda merely because it is a hot-button issue or has a nice ring to it.

Obama’s hope and change rhetoric appears to be the only style of argument his obsessively pragmatic mind can create. He stands in front of the cameras with a line of white coats behind him as if he is the spokes person for a Pepto-Bismal commercial.

When in all actuality his new media marketing approach to the legislative process just makes it look as if he has wandered too far from the facility and is about to be ushered soothingly back to his padded cell.

Unfortunately the core issues are being ignored in the health care debate, as the spurs of foreign markets kick the flanks of U.S. inflation, instigating charging spikes in costs which, along with unemployment, are driving up health care premiums.

The insurance industry, which has enjoyed a largely free ride for many years, has been exempt from the antitrust laws which prohibit anti-competitive practices and behaviors, and thus are designed to prevent monopolies.

The legislation may include some provisions which remove this exemption, however, the many changes as of late make it impossible to conclusively determine this. Suffice it to say, the likelihood that such a provision is in the bill is another reason health insurance premiums have risen sharply in the last few months.

While the insurance market could use a healthy dose of true competition, implementing this sweeping change in an international recession (bordering on depression) is not at all wise.

As typically expected, fraud has since increased ten fold over the already burgeoning levels seen at the onset of the economic decline. And the further the economy recedes the less jobs are created in the small business sector which employs over half of the people in the nation, and which also is responsible for creating more than 65 percent of new jobs. Furthermore, Obama’s payroll tax breaks will not create any new jobs because the hiring of employees is contingent on need, not promises by the federal government.

The health care overhaul is being implemented solely as a crisis management opportunity that in a stable growth economy would otherwise never even be considered as an issue, let alone proposed as something which the nation, in the words of Obama, “can wait no longer” to act upon.

Obama not only intends to use mandates and penalties -- which will initially increase premiums -- to force compliance to a system he guaranteed would elicit voluntary cooperation, he is also adamantly forcing the bill on a reluctant congress. This is reminiscent of Al Gore’s push to enact the NAFTA and GAT legislation which has proven to, as Ross Perot warned, suck the wealth out of the nation.

Obama, with his many broken promises has proven to be no more than a smooth talking veracity bending priest of personality, and is likely finding it entirely impossible to garner true support from much of the government, and even less from the public.

Uncertainty and mistrust in the markets driven by excessive government intrusion is sending more investments overseas every day, as foreign capital further weakens the dollar. Moreover, the wars -- escalated under the Obama administration -- that are being waged in countries who’s populations are well aware that Obama promised to end them, is garnering support for the nation’s enemies, and the foreign occupations are becoming more and more unpopular, and thus are costing America much needed international support.

As well, his already languishing foreign relations image was likely irreparably tarnished by his bombastic display of disrespect at the Climate summit in Copenhagen where he completely ignored prudence in opt for an authoritative international position as he clearly expected to dictate unfair and sweeping cap and trade measures, to a host of foreign countries, based on unproven science and discredited figures.

Hillary Clinton, his choice for Secretary of State, has only further exacerbated the tense foreign relations with Iran and Israel, and exposed herself to be unfit for the appointment. As the administration's primary domestic aid She has made little, if any, progress in repairing the currently fractured image of diplomacy Obama backpedaled from.

Clinton was recently embarrassed by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who’s cool-headed and diplomatic approach to the Iran crisis exposed Hillary's lack of intuition and resultant authoritarian bent. Her position is likely nothing more than a mirror image of mandates expected by the U.N. Security Council -- that Obama chaired last year in flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution which clearly states that the president cannot simultaneously hold any other office.

Silva rebuffed Clinton -- and the U.S.’s appeal for new sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program -- when during her recent visit to his country, Silva vowed not to “bow down” to gathering international pressure.

“It is not prudent to push Iran against a wall,” Silva told reporters just hours before meeting with Clinton. “The prudent thing is to establish negotiations.”

Clinton claims that if there is any possibility of negotiating with Iran, it would happen only after a new round of sanctions. Which appears to be more of a predisposition of her job as the "pitch-man" (woman) of the less than genuine Obama administration.

Her resolve began to crack as she angrily railed against Iran claiming “We see an Iran that runs to Brazil, an Iran that runs to Turkey, and an Iran that runs to China, telling different things to different people.”

As she acts as if no United States federal agency has ever done that.

Foreign Minister Celsio Amorim was not swayed by Clinton’s display of stubborn conviction, and countered her position by stating “We will not simply bow down to an evolving consensus if we do not agree.” Adding “We have to think by ourselves and with our values and principles.”

Now there's Something few politicians in America appear to even understand.

Regardless of how much Clinton may be intending to save face for the United States, her lack of authenticity is a domestic disease caused by excessive media influence and corporate pandering, and she likely does not even realize how transparent her disingenuous, and misguided, claims are to a foreign diplomat.

Truly, how can this nation prosper in an international theatre when its foreign envoys, ambassadors, and executive figures, posses such a paltry amount of insight and integrity?

The Obamasnare is reaching full speed as he claims “the debate is over. All that can be said about health care has been said.”

Then he once again ignores the issues at hand and lays claim that passage of this bill is an “important historic moment.”

Who could possibly trust this legislation when Obama so openly, and with little or no compunction, keeps changing his position with increasingly more sensational and bombastic claims?
