Forty-two percent of Americans say that if Israel launches an attack against Iran, the United States should help Israel. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 46% believe the United States should do nothing while just 1% believe the U.S. should help Iran.

Most Republicans say the U.S. should help Israel while most Democrats and unaffiliated voters say the U.S. should do nothing. MORE

When you note the divisions are split along party lines, this is stark evidence that the MSM has contributed to the dumbing-down of America - Fox News in particular. Republicans tend to choose Fox as their main news source, so they are fed a constant diet of lies and deceit, carefully packaged as news, and Republicans live in a world of their own, manufactured by their party - and unfortunately, most of them are oblivious to reality. Those that are represent the ruling elite, and what they want is what they get. For months, we have been preaching about food storage and its importance in this age of uncertainty, and now we hear that money is being exchanged as “Speculators Trying to Buy Control of Food Supply. This is a dangerous signal. Someone is putting their money where they see the highest margin of profit, and consolidation and speculation will raise our food prices to levels that will place millions close to starvation. Whenever the money begins to change hands, that’s an indicator that someone knows something the general public isn’t privy to; this is another instance where the MSM doesn’t blink an eye and we’re being set-up to fall, they sit back quiet, appeasing what can best be described as a highly partisan ownership, while speculators now have their sights set on our food supply, and when you couple that with gas and diesel prices, affect the two areas that affect each and every American alive. The county is under financial assault from Wall Street and wealthy commodity traders and our government is allowing it, in fact encouraging it in this writer’s opinion. If they are not stopped soon, the U.S. will quickly be reduced to Third-world status.

To make matters worse, we still have the influence of the religious-right, who are still preaching hate and violence to their congregations, and even approved of by some members of Congress. Joe Loserman, who can be described as America’s modern-day “Benedict Arnold”, is one of those that continues to advocate military action against Iran, and now he’s pandering to the right-wing televangelists that believe war in the Middle-East will bring about the second-coming of Christ:

Lieberman At Hagee Conference: U.S. Should Attack Iran because God Hates Israel’s Enemies

by Gustav Wynn

Despite popular outcry from the American Jewish community, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman pressed ahead with his third annual appearance at John Hagee’s summit for Christians United For Israel (CUFI), an evangelical group with powerful fundraising capabilities and long-standing ties to DC insiders including President Bush. Over 42,000 petitioners called for Lieberman to renounce the controversial televangelist as Senator John McCain did this past May when it was discovered Hagee was selling DVDs which included a speech he made implying that the creation of Israel was the result of God’s plan for Hitler to wipe out six million Jews.

Although it is well-known the membership of CUFI adopts an apocalyptic theology calling for the annihilation of the Jewish race as a key part of the impending rapture, Lieberman’s logic is unclear to many in the Jewish community who sincerely hope God will not exterminate them any time soon.

Lieberman was accompanied Tuesday by Democratic Congressman Eliot Engel of New York who also ignored a public outcry against his attendance at the event, claiming their affiliation with CUFI lay in the shared belief that the U.S. should use it’s military resources against Iran. Engel even abdicated his own Congressional power as part of a March 2007 war appropriation, granting President Bush authority to strike Iran without Congressional approval. Engel also also allowed the Congressional committee he chairs to become a forum for radical pro-war Israeli voices, calling for apartheid, not peace. MUCH MORE

Enter stage-left comes Pat Robertson, who also advocates striking Iran and beginning what could only be described as a “Holy War” and it’s not too hard to understand where those 42% of Americans come from who also support the US helping Israel in attacking Iran:


Robertson Advocates Israel Striking Iran Before The 2008 Election

On yesterday’s edition of The 700 Club, Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson sharply criticized the “moderate tone” the Bush administration has allegedly taken toward Iran and its nuclear weapons program. Robertson advocated that Israel look out for the “survival of its nation” and “make some kind of a strike” against Iranian nuclear facilities. He also predicted that it will likely happen before the 2008 elections:

But nevertheless, I think we can look in the next few months for Israel to make a strike — possibly before the next election — because I think George Bush — to use the term an “amber light” — he’s given the amber, the yellow light, saying, “Caution, but go ahead.”

Other members of the right wing have also been unifying around the idea of striking Iran before Bush leaves. Both John Bolton and Bill Kristol have made the same argument. MUCH MORE

It’s unfortunate, but our Mainstream News Media is largely responsible for the crimes and ongoing class-war that is being fought in the United States. We no longer have a “free press”, but one that can be described as a propaganda arm of the Neo-conservatives and elitists who seek to turn America into a fascist nation. Since the MSM won’t publish the truth and by omission, fail to warn the public that Israel may have been planning a false-flag attack against American interests to engage us in a war that our military commanders don’t want, they are as criminally complicit as those that seek to overturn our democratic form of government - and should be charged as accessories after-the-fact for turning a blind-eye to what is obviously one of the most important news events of this year - but is only reported upon through the Internet.

Now, only time will tell whether the warmongers and Israel will win their bid to attack Iran, and if it entails a false-flag attack on Americans, Israel should stand guilty of criminal action against the United States and should suffer the consequences of their unrelenting pressure for the U.S. to solve their problems at the expense of our economy and American lives. This latest information that should have gone “global” is evidence that Israel is only our friend when we do exactly as they want - and when we turn from that path, they verbally attack us as if we were the enemy, forgetting that we have supported and helped them to remain safe even when they were wrong - and it’s time that people wake-up and understand that Israel is only a friend of convenience - who will bite the hand that feeds them if they are not “appeased.”
