Did We Vote For War ???

No we did not, but several pro-Israel billionaires did:

What is this FDD [Foundation for Defense of Democracies]?

Answer: A War Party think tank that in 2011, according to Philip Weiss of Mondoweiss website and Eli Clifton of Salon, took in $19 million from five rabidly pro-Israel givers.

Home Depot’s Bernard Marcus gave $10.7 million, hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer $3.6 million. Sheldon Adelson, the Vegas-Macau casino kingpin, chipped in $1.5 million.

Last week, Adelson and media mogul Haim Saban spoke of plans to dump hundreds of millions into the presidential campaigns of 2016.

What does the pair want from our next president? According to the Washington Post’s Phil Rucker and Tom Hamburger, action on Iran:

“Saban said that fundamentalist Iranians represent a real threat. If necessary to defend Israel, and as a last resort, he added, ‘I would bomb the living daylights out of the sons of bitches.'”

Echoed the 81-year-old Adelson, “I would not just talk. I would take action.”

Last year, at Yeshiva University, Adelson, who pumped $150 million into the 2012 campaign, said the U.S. should fire a nuclear missile into the Iranian desert as a warning to end their nuclear program, or the next atom bomb would be dropped on Tehran.

This billionaires boys club wants to buy U.S. foreign policy and a U.S. war on Iran. And the propagandists of FDD are paid to produce that war, in which they will not be doing the fighting and dying.

This is not a "billionaires boys club". This is a cabal of pro-Israeli thugs who have commandeered our nation's foreign policy and military establishment.

A similar group of thugs gave us 9/11 and the War on Islam. How did that work out for you?

Everything these thugs want to do is for the benefit of "Greater Israel". Nothing they promote will benefit the US.

Their goal appears to be to use American wealth and lives to destroy their real and imaginary enemies so that Israel can thrive and rebuild the temple. Nothing more, nothing less.

And please ... "Foundation for Defense of Democracies"? What democracies?

Israel is not a democracy ... it's an apartheid state. The whole "Jewish state" stratagem is a Jedi mind trick to persuade moronic Americans that Israel has the right to exterminate the Palestinian "untermenschen" they so fervently long to kill.

Good essay, Pat. But you're wasting your time. The US government is on autopilot, and these pro-Israeli thugs have set the controls to crash us into the ground.
