Killer piece. Excellently written and incisive, as usual. If only every Georgian could and would read it. The metal cage being constructed over nearly every democracy today while social media and social-politicians fuel fights over bits of cheese as a diversion is fast blocking out the rays of the sun. We seem to be entering a time of darkness.
Scott writes a lot about the duplicity of the NED, but if you really want to see how the NED operates, look to the New Atlas on youTube. FridayEveryday on youTube also exposes the NED involvement with the Hong Kong riots.
Now, ask yourself why the NED exists.
It is because the American Elite want to continue plundering the resources of the world to maintain their position of privilege. It is a "vast conspiracy of greed". You know it, you just don't want to admit it to yourselves. These are the same people who push divisiveness between people opposed to genocide in Gaza. The same people who push the war in Ukraine. The same people who tell you that war with China is inevitable.
I call them the "Jewish Lobby" because 50% of American Billionaires are jews while only 2.4% of the US population are Jews. The "Jewish Lobby" is not only Jews and actually doesn't care about Jews or Israel. They only care about their position of privilege and satisfaction of their greed.
I've been looking for a better label, anyone want to offer one?
No, "Zionist Lobby" and "Israeli Lobby" are not suitable. The "Jewish Lobby" doesn't care about Israel except for the fact that it is an Imperialist Settler Colony in the middle of a strife region which is supported to keep that strife going so the "Jewish Lobby" can steal the resources of that area. They do the same thing across all of the USA.
Labels are a tricky business, especially when theology is involved. For instance, at one time it seemed to me a good idea to call the Muslim extremists, Islamists. But as it turns out, when most Muslims hear the word, it seems to them to be good, because Islam is good. The same goes for Zionist.
But there’s an Islamic theological word for false Muslims.
Jesus speaks of false Christs and false apostles. It seems much better and more wise to always debate issues of truth and falsity rather than the meaning of labels of more indeterminate meaning.
So when Muslims hear the word, Islamist, they don’t hear a pejorative. That’s the way I feel when I hear the word Christian. Zionist maybe gives me some trepidation and Christianist might really make me think. But theologically all these words could lead to lovely discussions, except, Jesus spoke in parables, maybe because the standard definitions of their words had widely diverged from the original sources. For example, the word Saducee
Etymonline traces it back to Tzadok, which is etymologically related to righteousness, as a given name meaning a just man, but there’s a big difference between etymology and the name of any human being, sect or division.
Psalm 14:7 (KJV)
Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
Psalm 50:2 (KJV)
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Psalm 99:2 (KJV)
The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all the people.
Psalm 125:1 (KJV)
[[A Song of degrees.]] They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.
Isaiah 14:32 (KJV)
What shall [one] then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
Isaiah 29:8 (KJV)
It shall even be as when an hungry [man] dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, [he is] faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Isaiah 33:5 (KJV)
The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
Isaiah 33:14 (KJV)
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isaiah 46:13 (KJV)
I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Isaiah 61:3 (KJV)
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
John 12:15 (KJV)
Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
Romans 11:26 (KJV)
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
1 Peter 2:6 (KJV)
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Revelation 14:1 (KJV)
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Zion is at the heart of Judaism and Christianity, but genocide or regime changes in that name are very debatable.
Let me assume, for the sake of argument, that Munafiq meant "False Jew".
Rather than "Jewish Lobby" I could call it the "Munafiq Lobby" That would work very well. Except no one would know that Munafiq was. <sigh>
Looked up "Fake Jew". got the ADL page. That's not very helpful. Funny in a very sad way.
Tried the Thesaurus with "charlatan". mountebank works, except no one knows what it means.
I agree, labels are tricky, but you need some kind of short hand to move forward.
I'm sticking with "Jewish Lobby" if for no other reason than the controversy that it elicits which leads to discussion which, I believe, has lead to a greater understanding. It also has a history that goes back to (at least) Nixon.
Words matter. A lot. I think it was Terence McKenna likened language to telepathy; if we don't agree on meaning, communication fails and chaos ensues. That is the political policy of the US and the West in general. Somehow they figure to reap the whirlwind they sow. Good luck. Instead they leave behind a trail of tears.
The "Jewish lobby" seems to me a good label. The only point I'd add is that the Jewish lobby is made possible by Jewish congregations and American Jews. They are the ones with the power to shut it down and they are not willing to do that. Instead they get legislation making any such attempt illegal.
Words matter but the vocabularies of many are limited, and in fact we all are limited, but we still have to get the message across, albeit sometimes crudely.
I hadn't thought about the congregations that make the "Jewish Lobby" possible. I was thinking ADL and AIPAC, but, of course, some congregations support them! Like Biden, they could indeed "shut it down".
It’s a very mild way of putting it, calling it just a lobby, now that I think of it. After all, many view themselves as manifest exceptionalism in their own right, and USA exceptionalism may even be a derivative philosophy from that. When I look at all men being created equal in the Declaration of Independence, I couldn’t find it in the Bible per se, but now I think it’s implicit in the idea of the law that we are to love our heighbours as ourselves. When they lose sight of that one, no matter what “lobby” they belong too, they should forget all the great promises, because they are on the road to abnegating them all.
There’s false Christ’s and false apostles and many coming in my name saying, I AM, but that’s the spirit. Jews are humans like us. We could say there are false humans but there are also true ones. The spirit of truth is a spirit, the spirit of Christ is a spirit and God is a spirit. The words of Christ are spirit and life. Humans are only human.
When Scott called the Banderites Nazis, I was running in intellectual circles, about National Socialism as a Nazi German false political and racist ideology. But he did it right and spoke in a language that could be well understood. The word Nazi is a blunt instrument in that context but there was an absence of readily available sharper words in the word tool bin. He got the idea across and was well supported by many previous articles from reputable and disreputable sources. Sometimes I am too picky.
Lively memory of centuries of hate and mass murder on all kinds of ad jewish identified people culminating in the german reich is urging to define more precisely. A group labeled with judaism is not identical with the powers that be we're talking about.
The Jews you want to defend know this. Jill Stein is a Jew, she was on "Dialogue Works" this week and very well outlined the problem. She didn't offer a new label though. About 2.4% of Americans are Jews. About 50% of American Billionaires are Jews. Now they are using their position of privilege to insist that any mention of Israel or Jew in a negative context is "Anti-Semitism". This isn't just a "coincidence". It has nothing to do with Judaism and more to do with Meyer Lansky who did deals for Golda Meir.
Meir's "money quote", "There was no such thing as Palestinians."
There are plenty of people I admire who are Jews, but the ADL, AIPAC and the "Jewish Lobby" insist it is Anti-Semitism. If you don't like the term "Jewish Lobby" offer up something other than Zionists or Israelis because neither of those would exist without the "Jewish Lobby" which owns Congress.
“They lied to you about Vietnam. They lied to you about Iraq. They lied to you about Syria. They lied to you about Honduras. They lied to you about Libya.
So why would you believe what they're saying about Venezuela?”
In the Greek language, a hypocrite was an actor. Now we say that there are bad actors, but there are also good actors. In many ways our society is built on great actors. Even Shakespeare said all the world’s a stage. But in the Hebraic/Aramaic context, it mostly meant a form of deceit and absence of love. There are not really any good actors that I can find mentioned in the New Testament. Or good hypocrites. Or good cases of Hypocrisy. In fact our love is supposed to be without hypocrisy, without pretence.
Yes, the "Jewish Lobby" are probably Psychopathic Narcissists, but it is the people they work for (or front) that are the true Psychopathic Narcissists. Many of these are members of the Plutocracy. It may not be that every Billionaire is a Psychopathic Narcissist, but let's assume they are -- "Billionaires for Christ?" IDK.
Why would any nation want to join the sinking ship, EU, politically, economically and financially near bankruptcy? If these foolish people think that EU is "nirvana," they are in for a rude awakening. Not only they will not join EU (why would EU welcome them and then have to spend a ton of money to bring them to so-called "EU standard," money they do not have and will not have thanks to their stupid financing of Ukraine war machine and commitment of harakiri through ill thought-out "sanctions" imposed on Russia), but they will enjoy Ukraine's fate of destroyed economy and nationhood. Good luck, idiots!
Good luck Georgia, you are up against the forces of evil and they are very good at what they do. The western countries are socially sick and perverse in their toxic hyper individualism and in decline economically. The east and BRICS are the present and the future. Choose wisely.
Absolutely superb, granular analysis. Your writing, here and elsewhere, is a model of narrative flow, facts, clarity and powerful emotion. You never cease to amaze. Thank you for this enlightening piece and all you do.
About 20 years ago, I spent a week in Tblisi on an educational mission, hosted by a Georgian entrepreneur, to review a start-up university. Everything about it was fraudulent, and we reviewers said so. Georgia was an unruly place, with drivers taking the rules of the road into their own hands, and envelopes with cash handed under the tables. Ritter's commentary puts all this in perspective.
At the same time, it is a beautiful place, a splendor of nature, and common folks struck me as lively and gracious and wonderfully warm and human. They deserve to be themselves, free from the plot of conquest driven by western interests and adopted by traitors with western stars in their eyes.
Don't kid yourself. The demonstrators know full well that the US has a similar law, or they do not care.
They care only that the West has set certain conditions for being allowed to join The Club, and they will gladly do whatever is asked of them, no matter how irrational, self-harming or hypocritical. Even if it means becoming slaves, hating their parents and brothers.
One of Russia's fundamental problems is that is has little comparable to offer.
Russia (and any other nations) doesn’t have comparable to offer because the US’ superpower is the USD. That is what corrupts all these people and turns them into US agents. Without the USD, the US Empire would fold and all these regime change operations collapse.
Well it is on Georgians to decide. Exactly 100 years ago they were part of Germany, for a brief. Then they decided to join the Soviet Union. Then came Shevarnadze who made the independence possible, again. Where is the problem: each time in history.the independence of Georgia was short living.
Pity, they have excelent cuisine, songs and indeed beautiful women.
As it is now, Georgia is on the way to oblivion, much like Armenia.
I think all governments are corrupt. I think that most people think about themselves all day long, so they lack perspective.
They use words like Democracy(with minorities treated as second class citizens), Land of the Brave(carpet bombing) and the Free(intimidated by authorities) and We the People(excluding the ones that do not look like anglos). I'm not being negative, I've just experienced this trying to support a family and serving in Nam. Peace and love for all two legged animals.
2008 has been forgotten so soon? Russia is much stronger now than she was then. Like Ukraine, Russia can not and will not Georgia out of her sphere of influence.
Killer piece. Excellently written and incisive, as usual. If only every Georgian could and would read it. The metal cage being constructed over nearly every democracy today while social media and social-politicians fuel fights over bits of cheese as a diversion is fast blocking out the rays of the sun.

I hope people in Georgia read this. What have NATO, the USA and the EU done for Ukraine. Is that really what they want for Georgia?

Appreciate the thought, but they aren't Zionists.
They are more like the mafia. There is no allegiance to any religion, nation, or people. The only thing they care about is money and power.
ZOG = mafia. You defined them perfectly. :) Im projecting a banned substacker by the name of Bilbos Bitch.

I thought the last paragraph was particularly powerful, and it tied the entire essay together.
About 20 years ago, I spent a week in Tblisi on an educational mission, hosted by a Georgian entrepreneur, to review a start-up university.

Hi. Would you have some info on opinion polls and the most recent election results.
Thank you.
