Israel: America's puppet master.

I just finished this ground breaking work--not ground breaking because of new, long hidden material but because the material has not been examined because of fear. Smith has probed subjects that have rarely, if ever, been brought to light. These subjects have remained in the shadows because the Israeli government and its lobby do not want its relationship with its cash cow, America, to be spotlighted for fear that the spiggot will be turned off and the estimated 1.8 trillion in support for Israel will be lessened. This figure is quoted by Smith in chapter five and sourced from Harvard economist Thomas Stauffer and although Smith's thesis is more tightly formulated, the bigger picture inarguably materializes; that picture is of huge import for America and by extension people like myself living far away from this centre of such great international interest.

Smith's book painted a conclusive, at least for me, picture of the terrible puppet lines that make it all but impossible for American government to function as it is constitutionally suppossed to operate. As he writes in chapter three, American democracy cannot act when lobbyists can exercise overwhelming influence on sigle-issue legislation under consideration. As Smith points out in chater one, J William Fulbright was the last major American politician to challenge the Israeli Lobby and that was nearly forty years ago.

I found Smith's book hard going for a intellectual lightweight like myself because he peppers his work with many excerpts from legal writings of one kind or another. This comment is not to dissuade any potential reader, it is meant only as a caution regarding the nature of the writing to be faced. The legal material is there to provide hard evidence for virtually all of Smith's statements. He has sown the seeds of his ideas carefully and provided ample fertilizer in the form of documented evidence to insure a good crop; it is certainly evidence strong enough for this reader.

Is Israel an asset to the U.S.?

A lot has been said in some books about the many Jewish organizations who lobby day and night in the high spheres of our society in order to push, blackmail, intimidate our government officials who in the end have prostituted themselves in favor of the zionists.
This book is a wonderfull piece of reading material and has an abundant amount of documented cases in which the author Grant F. Smith unmask the lies that the so called journalist tell the American People every day. The news media, television, radio, newspapers, magazines are controlled by this group of people (The Jews). They have the money, they have the resources, the power, they hold key high ranking positions in our government and they are aided by the neoconservatives and the Christian Evangelical who dance to the tune of the Israel Violin.
With great and admirable courage President Jimmy Carter started to tell the American People the truth about Israel's crimes and their abusive behavior against the Palestinian People despite the fact that many times The United Nations Security Council Resolution has told Israel to withdraw from the occupied territories up to the 1967 borders. But Israel has never complied with any United Nations Resolution thanks to AIPAC and all the jewish organisations who lobby in Congress, the Senate, the Administration. In other words Israel is telling the U.S. what to do.
It is a shame that most of the People of the United States do not even know about the existance of these parasites who from one side are stealing the land of the Palestinian Natives and on the other side they are literally stealling billions of U.S. dollars, goods, military equipment even nuclear warheads etc, etc. from the American People who do not even know about this nonsense.
We send our children to Iraq to spill their guts. More than 4,000 of our soldiers have died in this unnecessary, unprovoked, illegal war and the case for going to war was build with a bunch of lies. And all this was done in order to make Israel safer.
It is time that Americans wake up and see the truth, it has been too much

Must read

Grant Smith's authoritative and well documented research should be required reading for all those politicians and journalists who have long been fooled and manipulated by AIPAC. Hopefully, it will compel them to rectify their past misdeeds and to seek factual information on Israel-Palestine.

All Americans should rise up and demand honest journalism and a change in U.S. policy in the Middle East from the one dictated by AIPAC's foreign agents to one protecting the national interests of our own country. I highly recommend this book.

Foreign Agents: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee from the 1963 Fulbright Hearings to the 2005 Espionage Scandal

This is a well researched and very insightful book that traces the roots of the Israel lobby and details how the lobby manipulates the US foreign policy for the benefit of Israel with little regard for how those policies may impact the United States themselves. The book is very straight forward in describing the mechanics of the Israel lobby and how it uses it influence to suppress negative media and other critics who may not agree with its hawkish views. This is a must read for anyone who is interested in why our foreign policy is failing and how AIPAC and other pro Israel lobby groups keep the United States from safegaurding the intersts of its own citizens.

FOREIGN AGENTS analyzes the history and activities of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC. FOREIGN AGENTS begins with testimony and subpoenaed documents from the 1963 Senate investigation into the activities of the agents of foreign principals. Senator J.W. Fulbright's discovery of "conduit" money-laundering operations in the US financed by Israeli principals touched off deep and important questions about US lobbying on behalf of the fledgling nation and the applicability of laws such as the Foreign Agents Registration Act and the Logan Act. The book then uncovers AIPAC election law skirmishes in the 1980s-1990s, analyzing the lobby's role in establishing and coordinating political action committees and AIPAC's role in alleged election law violations. FOREIGN AGENTS then turns to the question of espionage. In 2005, two AIPAC executives, Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman, were criminally indicted for violating the 1917 Espionage Act. FOREIGN AGENTS reviews behind-the-scenes defense team motions and judicial decisions affecting First Amendment freedom of speech issues and questions about "inside the Beltway" trafficking in classified US defense information by lobbies. FOREIGN AGENTS evaluates Rosen and Weissman's assertions that the conduct alleged in the indictment was within the scope of their employment with AIPAC and was undertaken for AIPAC's benefit. FOREIGN AGENTS then makes comprehensive recommendations for legal oversight in the context of AIPAC's history as a powerful and secretive foreign agent for Israel.
