X: Obama: A Looming World Tragedy 379dory! Take for example that nasty little naval base that the Russians have on your Mediterranean
coast in that little place called Tartus. All you need to do is take them out of there! Then not paying
you anything like what that place is worth! Give us that base and we’ll pay you triple what the
Russians are giving you! We can even get the Israelis to give you back the Golan heights if you’re
willing to play ball with us! All you need to do is recognize that the Russians have always been the
problem and always will be, and the quicker we get them out of the Middle East completely, the
better off everybody will be! The same thing goes for those damn Chinese! And look how the North
Koreans bungled everything they promised to do for you! Let’s go back to those good old days
when Henry Kissinger could say, ‘God may punish me for it, but I still have a soft spot in my heart
for Hafez Assad.’”
ISRAEL DEMOTED: FROM STRATEGIC HUB TO EXPENDABLE ASSET
Much of this is anything but fanciful, and has already been approximated by Trilateral
Commission spokesmen in public statements. At about this time, former President Jimmy Carter,
Obama’s predecessor on the path of Trilateral puppetry, revealed that in his opinion the Israelis had
about 150 nuclear weapons. Everyone had long known that the Israelis had three times as many as
this, but Carter went on to ask: “What happens if, in three years time, Iran has a nuclear weapon,”
Mr Carter asked. “I’m not sure that is going to happen, but if it does, what do we do? They are
rational people like all of us in this room. Do they want to commit suicide? I would guess not. So
what we have to do is talk with them now and say to them we want to be their friends. The United
States must let Iran know that we want to give them fuel and everything they need for a non-
military nuclear programme. Twenty-five years ago we cut off trading with Iran. We’ve got to
resume trading to show Iran we are friends.” (Independent, May 26, 2008) Again, quite independent
of how much of the strategy Carter personally understands, Brzezinski’s goal is not a peaceful
settlement of the Middle East, but rather the mobilization of Middle East countries against Russia
and China in the framework of the apocalyptic global showdown which he is planning to execute
under the aegis of an Obama presidency.
Soon after the appeasement flap began, Brzezinski accused members of the American Jewish
establishment of “McCarthyism” in their attitude towards critics of Israel. He called the pro-Israel
lobby “too powerful” and accused American supporters of Israel of being too ready to use the slur
of “anti-Semitism” against critics of Israel. He stated that AIPAC, the American-Israel Public
Affairs Committee has “consistently opposed a two-state solution and a lot of members of Congress
have been intimidated and I don’t think that is healthy.” Brzezinski went on to say: “It’s not unique
to the Jewish community — but there is a McCarthyite tendency among some people in the Jewish
community. They operate not by arguing but by slandering, vilifying, demonizing. They very
promptly wheel out anti-Semitism. There is an element of paranoia in this inclination to view any
serious attempt at a compromised peace as somehow directed against Israel.” Reports noted that
Obama has paid tribute to the aging Polish revanchist as “someone I have learned an immense
amount from”, and “one of our most outstanding scholars and thinkers”. Alan Dershowitz of
Harvard Law School and others had already called on Obama to dump Brzezinski as a campaign
adviser, although of course in reality Zbig had hired Barky, and not the other way around. Zbig had
earlier antagonized the Israeli lobby through his support for the work of Stephen Walt and John
Mearsheimer. This entire incident came shortly after the Obama campaign had dumped Robert
Malley and Samantha Power, two thuggish foreign policy operatives with a history of clashing with
the Israeli regime. Obama campaign co-chairman and top military adviser Merrill “Bomb Now, Die
Later” McPeak complained about the influence of American Jews in the foreign policy debate,
