Many people are outraged over what they call ZOG, the Zionist Occupied Government. When asked who is a member of this secret Jewish organization, of course they can not answer as there is no secret Jewish organizations. There are many of them and they are very public. They are hiding out in the open.

The organizations
      The most influential one is AIPAC, American Israel Public Affairs Committee, that is in fact a political action committee that lobbies congress on behalf of the state of Israel. Although it is clearly a lobby for a foreign power it is not registered as such as required by law. This failure to register falls into a legal area that no one wishes to challenge, that to be a lobbyist financing must come from the other country although the law makes no such distinction.

      As for evidence, the US has lost tens of billions of dollars in foreign arms sales, twenty billion in 1990 alone when Israel did not want the US to sell to Saudi Arabia, solely from the perceived threat to Israeli hegemony over the Middle East. As the most powerful military state in the Middle East, and as the only nuclear power in the Middle East, Israel has a say in everything that happens in the region. AIPAC lead the lobbying against these arms sales solely for the benefit of Israel to remain the most powerful nation in the region.

      Consider the Gulf War when Israel threatened to take care of Iraq single-handed. Israel had no credible conventional capability to do that. The threat was clearly to use nuclear weapons against Iraq and the threat was to the US to deal with Iraq or they would.

      And the threat received attention in the US as both Israel and the US knew that Israel would be able to force the US to condone the use of nuclear weapons after the fact. And that would clearly change to the world the image of the US from protector of Israel to lapdog of Israel. But of course the truth is that the world knows the US is the lapdog of Israel, it is the American people who do not know it.

      The political power of AIPAC is at the national level. There are numerous local organizations that hold power at the local level. [material to be added]

      Put into context, any organization that provides any form a political support to any candidate is a political force for every politician to reckon with in his actions in office and for election. Jewish organizations that provide political support to candidates are no different from any other organization that provides any form of political support. The difference is that Jewish support is to support a foreign government whose interests are in conflict with those of the US.

      For example, peace in the Middle East is in the interests of the United States. Israel is the greatest obstacle to peace in the Middle East with its nuclear weapons and insatiable desire for the lands of others. Its facile use of deadly force against the innocent while shielded by the US is contrary to the interests of the US.

      Then end of Israeli occupation of the West Bank and of Jerusalem is in the interests of peace. No Jewish political party in Israel has any serious intention of either happening.

The news media
      Despite attempts to laugh it off or ridicule it the US news media is another controlling influence. When Israel censored the news during the Intifada reporters from the free nations were up in arms over it. US news coverage was of the objections of the other nations' reporters and I saw exactly one perfunctory objection by a US journalist aired.

      More recently when the tunnel incident caused rioting there was exactly one run on one US station (CNN) of a helicopter gunship machinegunning rioters. This machinegunning was mentioned on CNN only by Mona Charen and was discussed on no US political talk show.

      A few months before this when the Israelis shelled the Qana refugee camp, not one US station aired the clear evidence that it was deliberate.

      No establishment US news outlet will run news that can be construed as negative towards Israel without having an Israeli spokesman to comment upon the news. What? I thought this was the news, not what you are supposed to think about it. Have you ever heard a Palestinian spokesman comment upon a news report that is negative towards a Palestinian action? Yet this is standard procedure in negative and only negative news about Israel.

The entertainment media
      An unbiased observer of the entertainment industry, the proverbial visitor from Mars, that the country is about 60% jewish. You would also get the impression that this 60% are the finest and noblest people in the country without exception.

      On the other hand you would have the impression that the Christian population contains all of the bad guys including their religious leaders. Priest and ministers can be fornicators and homosexual (knowing they themselves consider it a sin) but never rabbis. You would find every degree and type of negative Christian stereotype; you would never find a jewish stereotype. In fact since Bing Crosby was a priest it is hard to think of a positive image.

      The predominance of explicit or implicit jewish characters in the movies and TV is hardly a secret. In TV sitcoms, even space alien characters have been implicitly jewish to the result of some clever punch line as in the show Mork and Mindie.

      From Hollywood we have a take off on Moses, Wholly Moses. While it was clearly a joke upon the entire Moses story, in the background it had to have a "real" Moses so as to support the Hebrew myth of a Moses. Yet we have movies that clearly question the Christian legend of Jesus. Why the difference?

      And when we have movies about Israel is there ever a story that touches even remotely upon anything negative? Is there a mention of the Zionist/Nazi collaboration? Is there the slightest mention of the displaced Palestinians?

      If you have listened to the pure talk shows without a political bent you may have noticed that it is not uncommon for the discussion to turn, out of no where, to the joys of being jewish. Some times it is segued by the host; some times the guest just starts gushing. But in any such show there is one thing to keep firmly in mind, not one thing is spontaneous.

      Everything is planned. It is the intention of the guests and hosts to bring up exactly what is talked about. The only question is whether or not the host is involved.

      Thus we have clear examples of what we all know and what Israel knows, that the government and the media of the United States are in the hands of Israel. There is no question that it is true and that it works for the benefit of Israel and against the United States. The only question is why we permit it to happen.
