The second the faked videos were available, cheap edits and voice overs first, Sky News and Fox, both owned by Israeli Likudist Rupert Murdoch, began the disinformation campaign. The "Freedom Flotilla" of peace activists suddenly became an armed Al Qaeda invasion force replete with heavy artillery, dirty bombs and terrorist trainers.
Patched in over the wounded calling for aid was the Israeli soundtrack, "Go Back to Auschwitz." This was played dozens of times before technicians showed it and other Israeli released video and audio from the attack to be counterfeit. With hours of video smuggled out, those tiny memory cards fit in the oddest places, Israel, Fox, Beck and the parade of media who ate up the lies are now delegitimized as are the groups that stood with them in silence.
It isn't just the dubbed audio or the new video showing IDF troops executing wounded. With so many witnesses of unquestionable integrity all saying the same thing, Israel and the media married to them are on the ropes. The belief that any story contrary to the political or economic ties of the corporate owners could easily be tagged as "conspiracy theory" has backfired.
As a result, every media outlet and every anchor and pundit that took a wrong side against this unexpected avalanche is tumbling into obscurity, Wolf Blitzer, Sean Hannity and Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh leading the way.
THE TEA PARTY DILEMMA
Surprisingly, to many, the Tea Party has failed to criticize President Obama's weak response to our failure to chastise Israel. There had been earlier debates on whether our inability to reign in Israeli extremism was costing American lives in war. That debate is clearly over. Israel has become, not only a massive liability but has shown America to be emasculated.
Even more surprising, as our Israeli lobby is headed by Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi and Henry Waxman, the political enemies of America's Tea Party movement, is creating one of the most noticeable cases of "strange bedfellows" in recent political history.
Does the covert financing from Fox and AIPAC sources that underwrites Tea Party activities, travel, entertainment and staff, limit how patriotic they are allowed to be?
With revelations that Democratic President Lyndon Johnson, hated by the Tea Party as founder of the "modern welfare state," shown to have authorized Israel to kill 300 US Navy personnel Yes! Johnson authorized Israel to kill the entire crew of the USS Liberty, not the 34 but all 300. They just refused to die"and refused to allow boarding parties because of blackmail tied to a sexual "indiscretion" with a Mossad operative, anyone would think that USS Liberty Remembrance Day would be a good time to remind Americans about the duplicity of liberal democrats.But there is silence on the USS Liberty issue and, not a word in support of the survivors or in remembrance of the dead. Who is sleeping with the Mossad now?
AMERICA'S CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE
With Britain's largest labor union, Unite,boycotting Israel and organizations around the world, even those typically distanced from any mention of support for Palestinians now openly condemning Israel for everything from piracy to kidnapping and murder, even charges against the Israeli government for fraudulent use of credit cards stolen from Flotilla passengers, the silence from America is deafening.
The United States Senate is planning to vote on a resolution condemning victims of what has been universally characterized as a war crime. Here again, conservatives lead the way, in lockstep with President Obama and his top aide, Rahm Emanuel.
To dodge international condemnation, President Obama has promised Gaza a $400 million payoff, "blood money" to buy silence for America's unwillingness to an endless series of international conventions including Articles 5 and 6 of the NATO charter.
In fact, no major group in the United States, no veteran's organization, political party, trade union or activist group has challenged Israel.
