‘Israel and Cablegate’
Samson Blinded
Consider how odd is the Cablegate. Governments easily shut down child porn, warez, racist and other kinds of websites. Even peer-to-peer networks are taken down and individual uploaders prosecuted. Hacking and DDOS attacks are a regular fare of the Internet. And yet we must believe that the mightiest power on earth is powerless against a website? Perhaps the same idiocy is at play here as that which led the State Dept to post hundred of thousand cables on a widely available internal web server.
Wikileaks has done a great service to the world by publishing those documents. They contain no tactical wartime information and, contrary to the White House’s statements, do not endanger many lives. Heads will roll down here and there because the cables reveal American contacts in foreign lands, but equally possibly, local dissidents will be protected by being connected to the White House.
For most part, their names were redacted out. While some secrecy in
governmental affairs is unavoidable, citizens must be offended to know that the government lies to them consistently.
There will be know international scandals over the publications. The offended foreign politicians will prefer to ignore or downplay the revelations. Foreign government whose own cables are equally frank, won’t be eager to take the State Dept to the account.
Pakistan has significant amount of HEU in its nuclear reactor, which would allow that country to produce many more nuclear weapons. The current Pakistani leadership is eager to get rid of the hot potato, but cannot do so for the fear of media.
Mossad chief shares out attitude that Pakistan is the biggest potential threat to Israel if Islamists take power in that nuclear-armed country.
For years, Libya was reported as fully dismantling its advanced nuclear program. Yet, still in 2009 it possessed HEU. The cables describe at least once instance of rogue HEU shipment.
Chinese government hired prominent foreign hackers to conduct political and industrial computer espionage.
Saudi authorities know and tolerate major Al Qaeda donors. Saudi king and his brother the foreign minister have opposing views on attacking
Iran, with king favoring the showdown.
Syrians supply Hezbollah with missiles while promising the United States to cease.
Putin bribed Berlusconi with energy contracts, and the Italian props Russian interests in the EU. Russian government and intelligence services use organized crime groups to conduct dirty operations.
American diplomats so much misunderstand Afghanistan that they describe Karzai as “driven by paranoia.” Rabbi Kahane used to say that paranoid Jews live longer, and that fully applies to Afghani leaders. Karzai remembers his predecessor Najibullah, castrated and hung by the victorious mojahedeen upon the Russian withdrawal.
UK’s military operations in Afghanistan are an utter failure.
US policy, particularly on Iran, is driven largely by accidents. It is not
carefully thought-out as the Iranians imagine. Ayatollahs deliberately
manipulate the United States.
In 2009, Ehud Barak said that if the Iranian nuclear program is stopped soon, it would become unstoppable because of collateral damage, contamination. To this day, Barak claims he wants to give sanctions a chance.
Robert Gates thought in February 2010 that only a few months were left to stop Iranian nuclear program. He misread the situation by believing that Israel would strike without American approval and that the strike will cause a regional war.
Iran supports Islamic insurgents in Azerbaijan, which it sees as a part of the Iranian sphere of influence. Ahmadinejad’s contender in the rigged presidential elections allegedly got 26 mil votes compared to 4-5 mil for Ahmadinejad. That’s not a good news because Mousawi opposes Israel and supports Iranian nuclear program just like Ahmadinejad.
Ehud Barak, publicly an outspoken support of peace process, said unequivocally that it is doomed to failure.
During the 2009 war in Gaza, Israel was ready to dislodge Hamas, but the Fatah refused to take over the territory.
If the published documents are indicative of the total, the State Dept has little interest in Israel and her leaders. In turn, Israeli officials distrust their American colleagues: the tone of conversations is much more reserved than of Arabs and Europeans.
If they can be dismantled so easily what makes the Superclass a Superclass?
Sounds like Max’s mythical Superclass are about as powerful and effective as the CFR.
So far, the only ones who sound like fascists are you and a few of your like-minded friends and Christian-haters on Israpundit.
I expect the next major political party to emerge in North America will be founded on dismantling of the Canadian and American fascist Superclass and the installation of a truly democratic and truly capitalist system.
The MSM has hidden so much of the dealing of the Superclass (and their businesses such as the corporations and the banks) with their sponsored political Mandarins that there are no longer any closets to hide the dead elephants.
I predict that soon a Big Business-Government Wikileaks will emerge. The system must either burst at the seams or perhaps the jackboot will crush the people forever.
One or the other will happen.
Are there enough people left that have not embraced and endorsed fascism that will choose to be free?
It doesn’t look that way, people espouse the philosophies of fascism with realizing it they have so lost their human values replacing them with fascist G-ds and fascist leaders.
But who knows? There is always hope.
Do you really experience the economic fascism of the Superclass as a comedy? You are in an extreme minority then.
I don’t think the Iraqi Baathists, Al Qaeda and the Taliban will agree with you. They only still exist because of liberal political correctness. America can do a Harry Truman and bring all conflicts to a grinding halt just as he brought WW-II to a halt in four days after four brutal years. All it takes is the right leadership. I don’t see anyone other than Sarah Palin who would pull the trigger.
This vindicates those like me who have confronted the Israpundits who whine, piss and moan about US aid to Saudi Arabia. The Sunni Saudis are far more concerned about Shia Iran and not at all concerned about Israel. Instead of whining about US aid to the Saudis we must encourage the Saudis and facilitate a Sunni – Shia conflict in a British-style strategy to divide and conquer.
Max, you have already done so in your last Mad Max movie script which will be a huge success at the box office and win an Oscar for Best Comedy.
Michael, if you are an American, I hope you will help educate the liberal American Jews before 2012 because 52% of them are still supporting Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
I’m sure you remember that one of his first official acts as President was to de-classify our most secret and successful interrogation methods and deliberately misconstrue waterboarding – which is physician assisted, sheds not a drop of blood, and leaves no scars – as “torture” which was a cruel joke compared to the real torture meted out to captured Americans who are dismembered while they are still alive.
Even before that he had decared his college transcripts and official birth records to be state secrets, and no one including Wilileaks has been able to breach the security of his college transcripts or his original official birth records, so we will never know that George W. Bush did far better than Obama in college even after all his frat-boy pranks. We do know that Bush did better than the “brilliant” John Kerry and Al Gore, two luminaries of the far left:-))
Great point. You need to write more often.
Julian Assange deserves a medal, for his service to the American people.
Obama, Clinton, et al deserve impeachment, of course, for putting us all through a Big Brother hell while double dealing and playing the idiot all over the world (but what else is new?).
As for me, I just feel refreshed to see, for the first time in years, honest, unvarnished news about matters that deeply affect me and my family. Thank you again, Julian — I couldn’t thank you enough.
I thought the best wrapup of these documents was given by the BBC:
That’s ultimate idiocy from the ultimate idiot, Barack Obama.
It’s treason – but who would have thunk this batch of Wikileaks would be so good for both Canada and Israel!
“Canada naïve about terrorism, CSIS head says in WikiLeaks memo”
“Iran war drums reverberate in diplomatic documents”
“Describing the outcome of leaked US diplomatic documents by WikiLeaks as positive for Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the Saudi King’s offer to attack Iran to destroy its nuclear programme is a clear vindication of his country’s warnings that the Islamic Republic is the chief danger to the Middle East.”
He’s saying “I told you so!
It’s wonderful! Now lets have some WikiLeaks exposing the Superclass economic corruption and the corruption between the politicians and the power elite. If the public ever find out what has been going on all our politicals and superclass will run will ask for political asylum in Venezuela or Brazil. 😉
The author of this article asks us to believe the mightiest power on earth was not capable of shuttng this down. The answer is two fold. First, the US was and is not capable of shutting this down. Second, America is not the mightiest power on earth. Not even close. It is way over rated. If we overstate American power, the country becomes easier to vilify.
It’s amateur hor in DC; with a feckless, and conniving ‘smart power’ team. Incompetence, corruption, and bribery seems to be the norm-telling a little country like Slovenia it ‘must’ take a terrorist from Guantanamo to get a couple of minutes time with Obama; this is just simply bribery, if not demeaning. I guess Obama’s, and Hillary’s narcissism wins the day!
Is it not odd, that leaks in such masses began upon Obama getting to DC?
This is a great diversion to keep our eyes off of Congress and the democratic death throes.
As of today, much of official Washington DC is howling for the blood either or both of the Wikileaker (who is an Australian citizen) and an obscure Private First Class who is said to have leaked the cable document files to the Wickileaker. It will not be long before most Americans begin asking who exactly must assume responsibility for maintaining the security of its secret document archives, if not the president of the United States. After all, the government of the USA is not in the hands of military enlisted technicians or blogsights run by foreign citizens. In any case, the leadership of Israel must now more than ever be aware that our big national circus is in the hands of feckless ringmasters. Hopefully, the leadership of the Jewish nation will guard and protect Israel accordingly.

The old Brits conquered the world from a piddly little island by using an ingenious strategy of “divide and conquer” I have always said that we must find a way for the Sunnis, led by the Saudis, and the Shia of Iran, to get at each other’s throats. Now, we see from Wikileaks, that I was on the right track. The Saudis are more concerned about Iran than Israel:
