They are trying in every way imaginable to diffuse any discussion of Zionism's role and influence upon U.S. culture and political economy. The phony left totally demobilized the anti-war movement and now they self-righteously attack and criticize Obama who has rhetorically positioned himself to fill that vacuum that they (the phony left) created by embracing the ABB/safe state/demobilizing the anti-war movement that reached its peak in 2003. The hypocrisy of these truly reactionary apologists who have positioned and wedged themselves among the "left" is a sight to behold. Thank goodness for people like James Petras and Rev.

Especially the upper echelons.. I mean, 'they' must protest and demonstrate their humanitarianism , but not too hard or too deep...wink, wink.

The notion shifts the focus of the "War on Terror" away from Zionism and toward "corporate influence". It is clear that Project Of New America Century (PNAC), was not based on a desire for profit but was based on the desire to enhance Israeli hegemony via the U.S. military -- the neo-conservative project. The neo-conservative project intertwines neo-liberal "free market" ideology with Zionism and militarism. Books like the one being review by Mr. Jacobs along with books like Naomi Klein's "Disaster Capitalism" seeks to focus primarily on the "corporate <i>beneficiaries</i>" of this trifecta, they will also speak about the privatization of the military and militarism to a certain degree but the one topic that is taboo (or third rail) is Zionism and its vast influence among the three. The PNAC program is well documented and clearly outlines its overall goals and their intentions of using corporatism and militarism to achieve their goals. It is rather disappointing that we are bombarded with this level of obscurity being giving "legitimacy" in the form of "books" being published to deliberately confuse the general public and being promoted by so-called members of the "left". It appears once again that the "left" hopes to deal with neo-conservatism without honestly and directly confronting Zionism.

This would worth exploring further, using public records to find out who in Congress gets contributions from, or who has investments with, which corporations. We already know gutter-level fascists like Dianne Feinstein (among a horde of other politicans) has engaged in profiteering (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/04/22/MN310531.DTL; http://www.metroactive.com/feinstein/blum.html) from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan through her marriage to Richard Blum. How many other treasonous members of Congress are invested in the continuation of death and destruction through their connections with the industries of mayhem? If this isn't treason, the word means nothing. Time has long since passed to name names, and to imprison war criminals. Of course, the vast majority of media will do nothing to report these crimes, much less describe the fascist perpetrators as the traitors they are. These media are guilty of conspiracy and obstruction of justice, and sooner or later, they must pay a steep price for their betrayal of people for the sake of profits garnered through the deaths of innocent civilians.
