What many of us worried would happen and foolishly hoped would not happen, has. Last night, the man who was re-elected in part by people who voted for him because they were tired of this country being dragged into wars that have nothing to do with making America great again launched what might end up being the biggest one we've had in some time.

Maybe the biggest one yet. Possibly the last one.

He did so on his own say-so, which has become the modus operandi of the elected dictators of this country. They decide - in the words of one of his predecessors - and we go along for the ride.

This one may prove to be less abstract than the last one but it has been launched for essentially the same reasons; i.e., on behalf of the state of Israel, which effectively controls the governing apparatus of the United States.

To mention this openly is of course extremely "anti-Semitic." It is sure evidence that one hates people who happen to be Jewish because one is appalled by the elected dictator of the United States deciding - just like that - to launch a bombing campaign against Iran on behalf of the state of Israel which, among other things, requires a monopoly on the possession of nuclear weapons in the region so that it can attack any of its fundamentally defenseless neighbors at will without fear of serious repercussions.


What is the American interest in such? More finely, is this in the interests of Americans? Especially the Americans who voted for Trump hoping he was not another Bush? It is very "anti-Semitic" to broach such questions. To understand what is expected, one should dial up the WWII-era Spike Jones song, Der Fuhrer's Face. The most relevant lines are: Not to love the Fuhrer is a great disgrace. One can hear the Red Hats singing this as they try to make lemon aid out of the lemon they voted for.

Someone - it may have been the journalist Glenn Greenwald - observed that we live in a post-Constitutional era, by which is meant the federal government just decides what it is going to do and then does it, irrespective of the (laugh track now) constraints upon what may be lawfully done, per the Constitution. Which has the value of a Confederate $20 bill insofar as having any power to stop those who control the federal government from deciding what they are going to do.

Some hoped that by voting for Trump it might be different. That - for a change - the Constitution, which requires a declaration of war by Congress before the country may legally be dragged into a war - might be respected. They hoped wrong. The same - many of them - also hoped that the man they voted for was authentically wanting to make America great again. It turns out they voted for a man who will risk the ruin of America and perhaps the world in order to make Israel greater, again.

How did it come to pass that this Rhode-Island-size state and its minions acquired the power to take us to war on its behalf? This is the most "anti-Semitic" question imaginable. And yet it bears asking.

It demands an answer.

Getting one will require good people to stop worrying about being called "anti-Semites" for daring to raise such questions. Good people already understand that raising questions about race-based policies does not make them "racists." Just the same, one is not a hater of people who happen to be Jewish because one hates what the state of Israel is doing and what is now being done by the United States on behalf of that state.


Do not allow them to silence your legitimate questions - and objections - by calling into question your motives. And - to the Red Hats - do not amen chorus what the spray tanned Chimp does just because he's the guy you voted for. The last time that happened, what happened? We got Barry Obama.

What are we going to get next, thanks the spray-tanned Chimp?
