Israel First
May 11, 2026
Writes Bill Madden:
How is it that we have recently oppressed seven Middle Eastern countries on behalf of Israel when the American people don’t want any more war and elected a Peace President for precisely that reason. It should be obvious. The American people don’t count. Israel counts because they have almost every Washington politician on their payroll and, those that do not accept Israeli fiat currency, are “primaried” – faced with competitors who have access to millions of Israeli dollars in their primary elections.
.
Where does Israel get this money? Israel is a country of 9 million people with free health care and free college for all. We give them almost 4 billion dollars every year plus much more in forgiven loans and military support. We are paying for Israel’s planned removal of our very few pro-Constitution politicians. Congressman Massie is now under attack and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was forced to resign because of death threats aimed at her and her family. All this in the “land of the free”.
.
We not only pay Israel to bribe our politicians, we provide the revenue that our largest corporations use to “influence” our politicians. The major owners of these corporate giants are able to rule our country by directing “their” corporations to support “their” politicians. These corporations operate in an oligopolistic (greatly reduced competition) economic environment so that much of heir revenue comes directly from consumer purchasing in addition to the tax dollars squandered by government purchasing.
.
Ignorance and apathy are very expensive.
