Chairman of U.S. House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee: “Either [Turkey] Shouldn’t Be in NATO or We Shouldn’t”

George Washington's picture




 

Congressman Dana Rohrabacher - Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats - wrote last week:

Not radical Islam, but the Russians have been portrayed to us as the villains in this chapter of history. Yet our government demonstrates a lack of will, incompetence, or both, in confronting the most monstrous of the radical Islamic marauders now spilling vast quantities of innocent blood in the Middle East – as well as in Africa and France.

 

When Russia courageously stepped into the breach we should have been applauding its willingness to confront ISIS. Instead, we continue to denigrate Russians as if they were still the Soviet Union and Putin, not Islamic terrorists, our most vicious enemy.

 

So now we see the travesty of a harsh condemnation of the Russians for introducing air strikes against terrorists who will murder Americans if they get the chance.

 

Yes, Russia does this to protect Syria’s authoritarian Assad regime, which has close ties to Moscow. So what?

 

Assad, like Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, is no threat to the United States or the Western world. If Assad is forced out of power he will eventually be replaced by an Islamic terrorist committed to raining down mayhem on Western countries.

 

Today we witness the spectacle of American decision- makers, in and out of the Obama administration, joining forces with a Turkish regime that grows more supportive of the radical Islamist movement. There is ample evidence of President Erdogan’s complicity in ISIS’s murderous rampage through Syria and Iraq.

 

Yet, we hold our public rebukes for the Russians, who are battling those terrorists. A Russian plane on an anti-terrorist mission did violate Turkish airspace, just as Turkish planes have strayed into Greek airspace hundreds of times over the last year. This overflight was no threat to Turkey. Still, it was shot down, as was a Russian helicopter on the way to rescue the downed Russian pilot.

 

Why do Americans feel compelled to kick Russia in the teeth? Russia’s military is attacking an enemy that would do us harm. Why ignore the hostile pro-terrorist maneuvering of Turkish strongman Erdogan?

 

President Obama is wrong. American politicians who try to sound tough at Russia’s expense in this case are not watching out for the long-term interests of the United States by undermining those fighting our primary enemy, Islamic terrorists.

 

Russia should be applauded. Instead, it is being castigated for doing what our government is unwilling to do to confront the terrorist offensive now butchering innocent human beings from Africa, to the Middle East, to the streets of Paris.

 

If being in NATO means protecting Erdogan in this situation, either he shouldn’t be in NATO or we shouldn’t.

Rohrabacher is actually 100% right on this one ...

No. 

Consider this.  Judaism doesn't try to convert anybody.  If you don't want to be one of the chosen people, they don't care.  Fine, be a goy. A Jew will cheat you, but they won't cut your head off if you don't cowtow to their God.

Big difference.

They dont care because of racism - concerns for racial purity etc.

Hardly laudable - and they kill people just as well when they are free to do so.

You also conflate a tiny, tiny minority of fundie islamists with All muslims.

But if i did the same, if i said Jews are all evil because of what the settlers do, or what jews did to greek and roman civilians during the kitos war, or the many massacres by zionists - killing precisely because they werent jews - youd call me out on it, rightly, right?

So why are you suddenly a blame the group for the minority when it comes to muslims?

Are you a fucking asshole?

The complaint, for all those years was that there was a lack of a nation for the jews.  Jews were forced to disperse to other nations and being non-christian foreigners, they were able to take up professions which the locals couldn't due to religious reasons.  They were also pressed into service as tax collectors and other occupations which were scapegoated for centuries. Any time a king or ruler decided to, they would be expelled and forced to leave their entire lives behind with zero compensation... or just rounded up and murdered.

 

Hitler didn't like them because they wouldn't assimilate fully and cultural elements would continue to show up down the line, even amongst the converts.

 

Well, guess what?  They have a nation now, One which they took and have fought for numerous times.  Jews are not the enemy here.  Jews have LONG since been aware of how shit the muzzies are, it's US NOW who are just starting to wake up and come around.

'Israel’s dominant role in formulating US Middle East policy is largely a product of its success at recruiting, socializing, and motivating overseas Jews to act as an organized force to intervene in US politics and push Israel’s agenda.

What motivates American Jews, who have been raised and educated in the US, to serve Israel? After all, these are individuals who have prospered, achieved high status and occupy the highest positions of prestige and responsibility. Why would they parrot the policies of Israel and follow the dictates of Israeli leaders (a foreign regime), serving its violent colonial, racist agenda?

What binds a majority of highly educated and privileged Jews to the most rabidly right-wing Israeli regime in history – a relationship they actually celebrate?

What turns comfortable, prosperous American Jews into vindictive bullies, willing and able to blackmail, threaten, and punish any dissident voices among their Gentile and Jewish compatriots who have dared to criticize Israel?

What prevents many intelligent, liberal, and progressive Jews from openly questioning Israel’s agenda, and especially confronting the role of Zionist zealots who serve as Tel Aviv’s fifth column against the interest of the United States?

There are numerous historical and personal factors that can and should be taken into account to understand this phenomenon.

In this essay I am going to focus on one – the ideology that ‘Jews are a superior people’. The notion that Jews, either through some genetic, biologic, cultural, historical, familial and/or upbringing, have special qualities allowing them to achieve at a uniquely higher level than the ‘inferior’ non-Jews.

We will proceed by sketching the main outline of the Jewish supremacist ideology and then advance our critique.

We will conclude by evaluating the negative consequences of this ideology and propose a democratic alternative.

The Torah is naked racial supremacism, but the narrative of Jews as Eternal Victim (never cheater, robber, or murderer) and excessive Jewish social and media power protects findamentalist and Supremacist Jews from criticism which would be lavished on a Catholic or white European.

Which is why, without any doubt, at some point Israel will be destroyed unless it changes from its anti-humanism ethnic supremacism. A hate that is in fact the primordial root of Judeophobia.

This comment is as racist as the ones that say all Jews are evil. It's ridiculous. Here's te real world. Elites are forced by necessity to form alliances to leverage greater and greater power. Often these alliances fall along ethnic, cultural or religious lines because it is easier to convince one another of common cause (I'm leaving true believers and ideologues out of this for now) due to this English elites tend to work better with their fellow English elites etc. likewise with Jewish elites.

Just like all religions and all cultural groups, since time immemorial, elites have done nasty things to maintain or increase power. This is true of Anglo-Saxon elites, Chinese elites, Muslim elites and Jewish elites. That's it.

There is no essentialism to any of this. Now with that said idealogies that hold that one group is naturally superior to another should be openly criticized whether it comes from a Muslim imam, an English eugenicist circa 1920, or a Talmudic rabbi. I don't care who is saying it, that kind of ideaology has always been dangerous.

What is unfortunate for open conversation and for the average decent Jewish person, is that some Jewish elites who have nasty designs, have hidden behind the horrors of the holocaust and trot out anti-semitism whenever someone calls them into account. I've seen Obama use racism to deflect similar criticisms as has Hilliary with sexism.

Just because nasty elites whether brown, white, female, Jewish or Muslim use racism, sexism and anti-semitism as a shield doesn't mean that those idealogies they are claiming are the reason for criticism (racism, sexism, anti-semitism) don't exist, they do and also need to be watched for and criticized.

What we need is open discussion and free market of ideas where there is criticism of individuals and entities (IMF, NATO, AIPAC etc.) and critiques of their abuses of power.

Giving all Jews a pass due to historical injustices is just as bad as those who condemn all Jews also based on historical injustices wrought by primarily Jewish elites (Palestine) the overwhelming majority of regular people want to love in peace, have productive work that has a living wage and to raise their families have community and express themselves.

It is a tiny elite across many races and cultures who have a desire to dominate others that are the problem. The word is psychopath with a good dose of sociopathy. THAT is the group we need to look out for and they don't handily look like one racial, ethnic or religious group. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and religions.

Excellent comment.

The few being maligned for the acts of the few *should* always be decried - pretty ridiculous to see some of the same people who would never do it about jews or americans or christians freely doing it with regard to arabs and muslims, whom, one must concede, been on the receiving end of jewish and christian/american/brit/french violence these past 100 years than the reverse.

There is a clear cognitive psychological reason for people having a funny habit of literally not seeing their own violence and murder at or or framing it as defense - meanwhile the 'other' is deemed to be entirely internal locus of control and choosing violence for no reason at all.

'Youre just an anti-Semite' often is used not accurately or coherently but used to try to delegitimize legitimate criticism of israel's state violence, or broader discussions of Jewish group power and influence and its iimpact on the rest of us - to include the 99.9% of the military that is not jewish.

I pretty much agree, except for your blanket dismissal of ideology as a problem. The Talmud calls you a cow. I remember Jewish groups besieging the Vatican to change part of the mass or liturgy to remove references they were offended by - if I remember right, mostly about Jews murdering Christ. When are Jews going to clean up the Talmud?

Language in the mass about praying for the conversion of jews was changed by vatican ii under pressure from jewish groups.

There was something about the 'his blood be upon them' from one of the gospels that was changed i believe by vatican ii but not sure on that.

Reasonable, I should say.

Israeli Discrimination Against Non-Jews Is Carefully Codified in State of Israel's Laws
By Dr. Israel Shahak

http://www.wrmea.org/1998-january-february/other-voices-israeli-discrimi...

My biggest issues with jews as a religious group is, apart from the whole chosen myth they clinged to - they seem uniquely capable of breath-taking hypocrisy and 'chutzpah' such as demanding the whole world not apply international law to israel which will nevertheless demand other states adhere to it when convenient.

Theyve maintained a brutal settler colonialist occupation of another, indigenous population and have the sheer naked audacity ( which strms from jewish supremacist concepts) to cry 'jew hate' at efforts to boycott products made in those settler racial colonies, and use jewish diaspora groups to pressure foreign states to chsnge laws most people support

https://theintercept.com/2015/10/27/criminalization-of-anti-israel-activ...

So you have jews using violence to ethnically cleanse and abuse Palestinians, because its the 'land of israel' but french jews happily live as a wealthy and privileged elite and use its influence to change french laws which merely boycott the product of settler colonies illegal under international law.

Oh, and those jewish groups also love calling for more immigration - purely out of thinking it is good for the jews, the ethnic majority dont matter and have no right to an ethnic homeland - thry're just goys and jews are superior.

Which is why Seth Rogen can call half the world 'antisemite' on teitter but feels free to make a 'christmas' movie nakedly offensive to christians.

Judaism is marinated in exceptionalism, racialism and xenophobia and yet we are supposed to act as though judeophobia is and aleays is eholly irrational, because if it is not, this means that the judaic ethos is subject to criticism by mere goyim, and that is unpossible!

A lot of that is totally valid man. Fact is, I know a lot of Jewish people that fight for the rights of others and give to their community in amazing fashion.

Now the Talmudic religion, as opposed to the race/ethnic/cultural group, is indeed quite scary for the reasons you mention. Once again, this is primarily a matter of elites vs non-elites.

I worry for my friends who are Jewish who are truly good people (almost all of them are secular Jews or follow other religions as it happens) if ever the sort of thinking that ALL jews are bad gets back in power. I worry about Muslims being treated to a Holocaust as well. I even worry that Dogmatic Atheists of a millitant version of the shit that Richard Dawkins spews should ever take hold and perhaps round up and kill ALL religious or spiritual people. I worry a global Caliphate could indeed emerge and Wahabbist Islam orders all to be converted on pain of death.

The thing all these scenarios have in common is where entire groups of people are painted with one brush stroke. Lots of the stuff I see on here that are "Jewish" conspiracy theories should really be "Jewish Elite" conspiracy theories. That would carry a lot more weight with me. For example, the term Zionist tends to catch most, but not all of the Jewish elite that are dangerous. There are some wholly secular Jews who are fantastically wealthy and do terrible things. Just as there are Jews who are at the forefront of helping humanity, some even wealthy. I don't doubt for a second about the plans for Greater Israel, the Sampson option, the horrors of certain Talmudic teachings. Those all seem to be verifiably true.

What worries me is when people talk about Jewish people as all being the same and inherently evil and worse still the sole root of all evil on Earth. That's simply not true and I will never agree to such non-sense.

No, no I definitely think ideology is a huge problem! I merely left it out of part of what I was saying and came back to it later. Some of The Old Testament, the Talmud and the Quran is frightening if taken literally or worse as a command from god.

Of course religion is by and large a control mechanism used by the elites. Some historians say elites began with the temples and priesthood.

On the other hand spirituality and spiritual teachers are often deeply enriching to people's lives and help to increase compassion and forgiveness both of which are critical if our species is to evolve and reconcile it's collective past.

I personally feel that of the three Abrahamic faiths Christianity if we go only by the teachings of Jesus - and not the monstrosity that is the Old Testament - is the most peaceful of the three. Of course the history of Christianity is every bit as bloody as the other two due to the inclusion of the OT and the ruthless manipulation of the commoners by the elites for geo-political goals.

I'm definitely not someone who thinks aetheism is the answer either. Nay, pol pot, Stalin and Mao proved that atheists can be every bit as deadly. In truth I think most elites are cynical socio/psychopaths who care not about religion for their religion is power above all.

With that said, true believers are often the most dangerous form of elites due to their unwillingness to compromise occasionally coupled with a disregard for their physical well being.

Rohrbacher speaks from one either ignorant of our involvement or feigning being  baffled by "the decision makers".

He suffers from inside the belt way tunnel vision when he claims Americans want to kick Russia in the teeth, yet across the land Americans, also baffled by the decision makers, are applauding Russia!

Today Dr Carson said George Washington warned us against permanent entanglements with foreign powers.  Not sure if it's true but America needs to cut ties with the UN and NATO,

So much for that fantasy,

Russia wants to move resources through the southern route, The west wants to block them, Extremist Muslims want their Holy War, and the Psychotic Globalist Elite dream of an all powerful world alliance, which the old money inbreeds control, with billions less peasants to deal with.

We're moving headlong into WWIII!

It should be replaced by a European peoples defense treaty instead. No non-Europeans allowed. Because it amazes me that every other ethnicity has it's own political organization of this nature, but the Europeans have to suffer under the guise of some vague non-defined anti-European system.
