DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: We do not have a USA problem– we have a USA/AIPAC politician problem

One thing about the truth coming out like it is these days – no one is going to be able to stop it.

The truth has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, no racial affiliation, it does not have a pronoun or a sexual preference, and it does not hide behind lies.

This week’s truth: AIPAC and the United States of Israel chatter.

I have been talking about AIPAC for a few years. Finally, people are beginning to wake up.

As Georgia Congressperson Marjorie Taylor Greene explained, AIPAC takes every freshman member of Congress that will go on a special trip to Israel in August, both sides of the aisle.

There’s a reason for that.

She also pointed out 32 members of Congress are foreign born (not all are dual Israeli passports).

As we are learning more about AIPAC and our government, many people are waking up to the fact it is not left or right (that’s just the diversion the government uses to keep the sheep in place). It’s actually the American people against government/lobbyists.

We do not have a USA problem – we have a USA politician problem.

Recently about 250 state and US representatives took an all expenses paid trip to Israel. I’m going to let you ask yourself “why” and urge you to do your research on the trip’s tagline: 50 States 1 Israel.

I will say if the two “fighting” parties (as in blue and red) can get along on a cushy little Israeli trip, they had better come home, put their egos aside and get some work done.

The truth is – every American needs to wake up and get their work done voting any politician greedy enough to take lobbyists money, and especially the AIPAC-driven politicians, out of office.

How will Americans do that?

Good question, since Israel is at least honest about their American ownership anyway.

At least somebody is honest.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at AIPAC’s bragging rights (www.aipacpac.org).

“We supported 361 pro-Israel Democratic and Republican candidates in 2024 with more than $53 million in direct support through AIPAC.”

In fact, 96% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their general election races in 2024.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was founded in 1954 as a lobbyist group. It emerged as a powerful lobby in the 1970s/1980s. It was not until 2021 it began to make direct political contributions when it formed its own political action committee (PAC) to contribute funds to candidates.

Full transparency – I have been to Israel twice as a journalist. I was taken into Palestine on one of those trips. I was there to write about history, not religion, and I was smitten by the place. There is an energy, but it’s not the current warmongering I felt, but the beauty and history of the people and the place as it deserves to be.

A Christian friend told me she was having a tough time not backing Israel even if it meant the annihilation of Palestine.

She listened to Jewish Israeli Intelligence Officer Ari Ben Menashe – and said she changed her mind.

Menashe was quite blunt in his saying Netanyahu is blackmailing Trump and the US Government beginning with Jeffrey Epstein as one of the tools to trap them. He cited examples, but summed up the fact that Bill Clinton, and Ehud Barack, met Arafat in the 90s and were about to reach an agreement for a two-state solution. It was stopped because of Epstein since they were being blackmailed by him.

“I believe the Israeli’s have the American government captive,” Menashe said.

In fact, those of us who have been doing our research and paying attention already know the “Epstein list” is a diversion. The blue people scream Trump is on the list as if Biden, Clinton, and Obama are not.

That list could have been out years ago during either administration, but Epstein’s island and the sexual abuse of so many victims was a mere game to blackmail those in power. The Scientologists did it for years too.

Get the dirt on someone, make them do something so bad they will have to be under your thumb for the rest of their life, and that is how you control the world.

Remember too, Ghislaine Maxwell’s daddy was rumored Mossad. And, if you’re not aware of what that is, my definition is Israel’s CIA on steroids.

Ghislaine likely does not care at this point since she was recently quietly moved from doing her 20-year prison sentence at a Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, to a minimum-security Federal Prison in Texas called “Camp Cupcake” where daily yoga is one of the perks (www.thedailybeast.com/ghislaine-maxwell-spotted-for-first-time-at-cushy-new-prison).

Let’s start with her daddy was a Zionist and what that means, and it means a lot apparently in what is going on now in Israel, Palestine and the US.

Moshe Ber Beck, a Hungarian-born American rabbi explained before his death why Zionism and Judaism are not the same and why conflating the two can cause harm.

In his words, “Zionism is the biggest enemy of Judaism. Judaism is a religion and God gave the Torah on Mount Sinai 3500 years ago. What united them? Not a country, not a language. Our nation is a nation only by the Torah. If you believe in the 13 principles of Judaism you are a Jew, if not you are not a Jew. You can be Jew and Japanese, Chinese, black, white, no difference. Zionism from the other side is a completely secular movement born by a person called Theodor Herzl, an Austro-Hungarian journalist. They don’t keep nothing, they don’t believe in God or the Torah. He didn’t even make a circumcision for his son. They keep the name Judaism emptying out the holiness, the belief, the religion filling that in with nationalistic ideas. You don’t’ have to be a believer, you don’t have to keep the Torah. Zionism is the biggest enemy of Judaism.”

I have no opinion on the Jewish matter, but since they get free healthcare and college tuition according to Marjorie Taylor Green it does not seem like too bad a gig.

I did find the rabbi’s rabbit hole quite intriguing though. I mean we know “Bibi” (Netanyahu) is a Zionist and that he is clearly running the show both in Israel and America through AIPAC dollars and that is just what I uncovered of it.

Of course, Bibi does know a thing or two about America and politics so he plays the game well. He graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, worked for a Boston consulting group, became a naturalized U.S. citizen as a teenager while living in Philadelphia, and only gave that up when required so he could be appointed as a senior Israeli diplomat in the 1980s.

I’m going to bring up Charlie Kirk briefly here too, because Bibi has lately been downright adamant for some reason he had nothing to do with Kirk’s murder.

I guess the accusation can be attributed to Candace Owens.

Sidenote, even if you can’t stand her, take some time to dissect what she is saying.

To that point Bibi is blaming Kirk’s death according to the New York Post on Qatar (nypost.com/2025/09/18/us-news/netanyahu-slams-conspiracy-theories-linking-israel-to-charlie-kirks-death) although I’m confused on how they got in the mix for being accused.

I am also confused on how Bibi Netayahu, family name Mileikowsky of Ashkenazi lineage from Poland with apparently neither the blood nor the language became Prime Minister of Israel and maybe America. I do know reports indicate he grew up in the salons of the elite in New York, and his father was a hardline Zionist historian.

A few other interesting tidbits as I close this week.

A bill has been introduced in Congress by Florida’s Brian Mast (since March 2025 he has received $700,480 worth of contributions (www.trackaipac.com/states/florida?rq=Brian%20Mast) to revoke passports of US citizens who criticize Israel.

Last week the US was also the lone veto (14 out of 15 votes) at the UN Security Council Gaza ceasefire/humanitarian aid vote for the sixth time.

Vetoed because as one commentator said, “Saving lives was deemed less important than controlling the narrative.”

The resolution did not adequately condemn Hamas, so the people of Gaza will continue to die “unless their suffering can be framed in the correct ideological terms.”

I can only wonder since it’s over in the holy land where Jesus lived: “What would Jesus do?”

I don’t think even on his worse day Jesus would have allowed people to starve and die like what we are seeing now. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t America still a Christian country and isn’t that what Jesus is all about?

Final shout out – if the USA is going to become the United States of Israel, can we be honest about it? At least then we know the rules of the game so each person can decide what they want to do.
