POPSAn Iranian "Embassy" In Boston [mullahs lobby machine] Two year ago when Maleki came to Harvard, Sadegh Kharrazi, a close friend and collaborator of his, told Shargh newspaper in Tehran (May 28, 2006): "There is actually an Iranian lobby in US which illustrates itself occasionally…. should remain non-governmental, but the government could support it, promote it and rely on it". Maleki's goal has been to turn this "occasional" lobby to a full time and large scale machine of influence and misinformation. It is now apparent that the policy of United States on Iran over the past has been packed with confusion and shortsightedness. It is certainly not a mere security oversight to allow so many former officials enter the United States. Almost certainly, the United States’ goal is to create a back door channel to the mullahs in Iran, a de facto Iranian embassy. Nevertheless, this “embassy” is acting more like a Trojan horse than an ambassadorial channel.

POPSIn Espionage Trial of Ex-Aipac Employees, Appeals Court Sets High Bar for Prosecution Court Says AIPAC spies cannot be convicted unless they "had a bad-faith reason to believe the disclosures could be used to the injury of the United States or to the aid of a foreign nation." Wow, the courts sold us out to Israel once again. Whose damn country is this anyway. the older I get the more likely answer seems to be Israel's country, not ours. We prosecute spies all the time, but if they happen to be from Israel the courts just step in and decide arbitrarily to make it harder than usual.

POPSChomsky: Israel is heading for destruction This is the only result when greed becomes an end unto itself. The society is greedy. Swinishly greedy. Along with the greed comes a blinding selfishness in which they think of themselves only and the rest of the human race can go to hell. How long can this go on. How long can AIPAC fool the stupid taxpayers of the US? As they find themselves more and more on the street while Israel's settlers bask in the sun next to their lavish swimming pools, even the dumbest of Americans will start to ask questions.

POPSObama's missteps Obama's unnecessary promise deviates from nearly six decades of U.S. foreign policy that held Jerusalem to be occupied territory under international law. This long tradition was first broken in 2004 when President Bush acknowledged Israel's demands to keep its illegal West Bank settlements in a final peace agreement, including those around Jerusalem. Thus Obama, a Harvard-trained lawyer, would both scorn the international legal system's foundational principle -- the inadmissibility of territorial acquisition by war -- and echo President Bush, whose failed Middle East policies he has rightly deplored. If Sen. Obama's Philadelphia speech on race was a model of courage and nuance, his AIPAC talk was brimming with the pro-Israel orthodoxy that typifies this year's presidential campaign. Like presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, Obama also backed Israel's so-called right to exist as a Jewish state.

POPS Didn't Realize What He Was Saying? Once again, this suggests that there is too little adult supervision of a candidate unaccustomed to speaking on the world stage about issues in which there are lots of code words, indeed in which every word (e.g. “preconditons,” “immediate withdrawal”) has meaning to Americans’ foes and friends.

POPSThe Big Promise of Elections '08 = More War! More Debt! Both McCain and Obama have made it clear, (as Obama has stated) "War with Iran is not off the table." But if we listen, both have also spoken about going into Pakistan, about "protecting Israel" no matter the cost, and even if it involves military action. So what the elections have come down to, on both the left and the right, is that there is no anti-war candidate left, nor is there one who seems to have any ideas that will rescue the economy and recover the increasing deficit.

POPSObama and Iran:The Democrats Modern-Day McGovern
Judging from last week's address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Sen. Barack Obama doesn't want voters to see him as soft on Iran and its genocidal President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Iranians "understand - sometimes, it seems, better than a lot of Americans do - that if American power collapses in Iraq, if we abandon our allies" then "our position throughout the region will become much weaker and Iran's position much stronger," Lieberman added. The Senate - including well over half of the Democrats - voted for the amendment, which passed 76-22. Obama, who was absent, said he opposed the amendment because it could be used as pretext to invade Iran. Obama denounced Kyl-Lieberman as "reckless" and criticized his chief rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, for supporting it. However tough he tries to sound when talking to AIPAC, Barack Obama's real sympathies are with the George Soros/MoveOn.org wing of the Democrat Party.

POPSObama, Clinton Secret Meeting--Bilderberg Conference Nearby Why the secret meeting, ditching the press corps? After both made speeches to AIPAC it is worthwhile to note where their secret meeting subsequent took place, in Virginia. The annual Bilderberg Conference was 3 miles away from Dulles in Chantilly, VA. How convenient! And the article goes on to talk of Feinstein's much publicized alibi about meeting in her home (but not the entire time). Of course attending publicly would paint a "global elite" label on both of them. (Both of them are in fact members of the Council on Foreign Relations). This indeed would be a real contrast between what Obama campaigns on (supposedly against big corporations that outsource, etc.) when Bilderberg members represent the very anti-thesis of his position. Still trust Obama or Hillary? Read the article in full. Note the source here is World Net Daily and the entire press reported the secrecy and ditching of Obama's press entourage in particular.

POPSMcCain: Obama's Positions Are So Changey WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to please a pro-Israel crowd this week by saying that Jerusalem should be the capital of Israel and that the holy city should not be divided. That angered Palestinians, who claim part of the city, and Obama clarified his remarks to say that the fate of Jerusalem should be a matter for negotiation. That angered some Israelis and their U.S. supporters. By week's end no one was happy. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080606/D914QUV82.html

POPSA Glimpse of McCain's New Blog Holy crap, this is just a nightmarish convergence of amazingly bad ideas. The blog is called "The McCain Report" and is subtitled "a blog you can believe in" -- no, really. It is. It's also all about snatching up moronic Clinton supporters who can't figure out that John McCain and Hillary Clinton are on pretty much opposite sides of the political spectrum. Why he thinks stealing Obama's "___ you can believe in" meme is the way to do this is beyond me. Still, there's Baghdad Johnny rasslin' a gator. And ABBA. And a post accusing Obama of being "changey" -- while misrepresenting AP"s reporting of Obama's AIPAC comments. Taken singularly, these may seem to be bad ideas. But taken collectively, they're one big recipe for failure.

POPSMcCain misrepresents Obama's stand on naming Revolutionary Guard as terrorists.
Analysis For the past two weeks, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain and Democratic front-runner (and now presumptive nominee) Barack Obama have engaged in a war of words over their respective positions on Iran. In a June 2 speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, McCain upped the ante, criticizing Obama's failure to support an amendment that called for designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, a charge that McCain repeats on his Web site. It's true that Obama opposed the amendment in question. But McCain is wrong to suggest that Obama's opposition had anything to do with the IRGC's designation. And McCain fails to mention that Obama cosponsored an earlier bill that would have named the IRGC a terrorist organization. Wait, What Are We Fighting About Again? Let's start with that whole Revolutionary Guard business. Here's McCain at AIPAC:

POPSObama Plays to AIPAC on Iran Obama speaks to his real constituents--The Lobby. Gas prices will continue to rise on this speech, as his words demonstrate NO CHANGE in "entangling alliances" with Israel, bowing to the Lobby, and continuing the neocon agenda. Oil futures will continue to climb on war fears as this middle east policy based upon nothing but propaganda about Iran continues. He may say "diplomacy" but they can make him go to war, and will, through stealth provocations or false-flag events.

POPSNeocons and the truth: Bitter enemies to the end From the article: In late 2006, I wrote about virtually identical deceit from this same group, that time with regard to Iraq. On National Review in December of 2006, Ledeen -- just as the Beltway establishment was finally turning against the war in Iraq and in the wake of a lengthy Vanity Fair article identifying the neocons who were to blame -- claimed: "I opposed the military invasion of Iraq before it took place."

POPSOver Friendly US Judge trying AIPAC Spy Case
"Rosen and Weissman were indicted on Aug. 4, 2005--two and a half years ago. Lowell and Nassikas have used every tactic in the book to delay the trial in the hope that if it is delayed long enough, it may not take place at all. Delay has followed delay as the prosecution (the U.S. government) and defense have fought over how open or closed the trial will be and over whom can be called to testify. Among others Judge Ellis has ordered to testify are National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, former Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith, Deputy National Security Adviser Abrams, Ambassador to Russia Burns, and Pollack, former director of Persian Gulf Affairs for the National Security Council. According to The WP, Lowell and Nassikas will try to prove that their clients’ conduct was lawful and completely consistent with how the US government dealt with AIPAC and other foreign policy

POPSAIPAC Spy Trail: Courtus Interruptus. "Let these neoconservative writers and publicists take the stand, raise their right hands, and swear that it’s good for America that the Israelis are stealing our secrets with one hand, even as they take in billions per year from the US Treasury with the other. What’s so important about the AIPAC spy case? After all, nations spy on each other all the time, so what’s the big deal with this particular incident? The story of two top AIPAC employees who acted as couriers, funneling US intelligence gleaned from Franklin to their Israeli handlers, dramatizes the thesis of professors John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, in The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, their monumental study of how groups like AIPAC." distort the policy-making process. Franklin, in his guilty plea, admitted to the crime, but maintained his ideological innocence to the end, claiming that he had only wanted to help Israel and thought its concerns were not being sufficiently heeded by US government officials.

POPSChristian Zionism is Deceitful Israeli Front John Hagee exposed. The deceived American churches were infiltrated and new doctrine introduced unique to the 20th century which captured churches for the purpose of changing previous Christian resistance to a pro-Jewish, pro-Zionist political agenda, including for military action. This also proves that heresy (or errant philosophy) is dangerous since it can have powerful effects on public policy by government. Unjust wars for example!

POPSIn The Thrall Of AIPAC Despite the beaming rhetoric, it's the same old, same old. IMO, the unquestioned alliance between Israel and the US are at the root of a lot of USA's problems. Until that alliance is addressed, what's going to change? Really? US foreign policy needs a COMPLETE overhaul. .. not just pretty words.
