On December 21, the United States Congress passed the COVID-19 Relief Package, as part of a larger $2.3 trillion bill meant to cover spending for the rest of the fiscal year. As usual, US representatives allocated a massive sum of money for Israel.
While unemployment, thus poverty, in the US is skyrocketing as a result of repeated lockdowns, the US found it essential to provide Israel with $3.3 billion in ‘security assistance’ and $500 million for US-Israel missile defense cooperation.
Although a meager $600 dollar payment to help struggling American families was the subject of several months of intense debate, there was little discussion among American politicians over the large funds handed out to Israel, for which there are no returns.
Philip Giraldi has done it again. The former intelligence officer for the CIA has unapologetically stated what politicians from across political lines have consistently failed to say. In order to bring back foreign and domestic policy to the practical world a world in which responsible people behave according to the moral and political order Israel needs to be removed from American politics.
In order to bring back the economy to reality, Andrew Jackson essentially killed the banksters of his day. Jackson developed a simple political principle which turned out to be true: You either kill the monster that is destroying the national economy, or the monster will eventually kill you. There is no other way. For Jackson, the monster was none other than the people who were manipulating the money supply for their own political and personal gain, not for the good of the nation. They were the usurious and rapacious bankers.
