Neocons and Obamaites Unite Against Rand Paul
Yes, the air is plenty filthy in Washington, D.C., but at least we know there is someone sitting in the US Senate who has yet to choke on it. Long may he breathe and prosper, and that’s why I #StandwithRand – as should you.
Israel and America: The Special Relationship that Isn’t
Both the Constitutional order and the political process in the US have been subverted. The effect is that the US Government is, for all practical purposes, virtually a wholly owned and operated subsidiary of Israel –

Giraldi : It Is All About Israel
Many Americans are becoming tired of having their affairs micro-managed in Tel Aviv. Blowback is beginning and I would hate to see a bunch of esteemed Senators finding themselves on the wrong side of history.
PRAISE THE LORD: AIPAC IS LOSING
It appears that Netanyahu and AIPAC are facing a nightmare: a second term Democratic president who isn’t afraid of the lobby. Stay strong, Mr. President.
The Resiliency of the Neoconservatives: General Petraeus and the Kagans
The neocons’ influence has far exceeded just the lingering effects from their past policy decisions in the George W. Bush administration; rather they continue to energetically work to influence American policy with more than a little impact.
Alan Hart : A significant defeat for the Zionist lobby?
Hagel’s confirmation by the Senate willbe a defeat for the Zionist lobby (and its non-Jewish neo-con associates), but whether or not it will be seen in the future as the beginning of a process that ended the lobby’s iron grip on policy for Israel-Palestine is a very big, open question.
The Hagel Battle: ‘Why is Obama Doing This?’
Justin Raimondo gets quite in-depth and is overall an adroit writer. Interesting to get the parallels he’s drawing, but if he’d just left out all the China business and the details in the comparisons, it’d be much more compact reading.

Hagel: The Neocons’ Last Stand?
The neocons — stung by their loss of Washington influence – are trying to reestablish their clout by disqualifying former Sen. Chuck Hagel to be the new Defense Secretary. But their haste in charging off after Hagel’s scalp may lead the neocons into a dangerous last stand, writes Robert Parry.
Raimondo : The Paranoid Style of the Israel Lobby
The smear campaign against Hagel is an absolute outrage, and the War Party can’t be allowed to get away with it.

Brzezinski: U.S. must stop following Israel “like a stupid mule”
Is the dog finally noticing that “this is not a case of the tail wagging the dog, but of the tail wagging the unfortunate dog around the room and banging its head against the ceiling”?
Obama and the Israel lobby: Quo vadis?
Obama doesn’t have to run for re-election again but Congressional Dems do, and they’ll put the same pressure on him in 2014 that they did in 2010 if he tries to force Netanyahu to abandon his vision of “greater Israel.”
Bomb Iran? No. Bomb Gaza? Yes!
Re-elected US President Barack Obama has made it absolutely clear; the way forward is diplomacy, not bombs writes Pepe Escobar in Asia Times.
Israel Looks To Exodus In Gaza Invasion
Not much change is in evidence in Israel’s conservative government, however, where leaders keep following the same old narrative to justify each new assault on its weakest Arab neighbor, the neighbor Israel has confined to an outdoor prison.
Mr. President, Israel as just another country?
If, as stated, the ‘president is busy’ then Israel will be forced to face reality, perhaps for the very first time in their existence.
As Nation and Parties Change, Republicans Are at an Electoral College Disadvantage
Two more presidential elections, 2016 and 2020, will be contested under the current Electoral College configuration, which gave Barack Obama a second term on Tuesday. This year’s results suggest that this could put Republicans at a structural disadvantage.
Second-Term Obama’s Foreign Policy
Freed from pressures of reelection, President Obama has the opportunity to chart a more daring foreign policy in his second term, taking chances for peace. But he will still face determined political opposition if he crosses powerful lobbies, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
