When I was a kid, our high-school classes spent several afternoons, over four years, watching films of events from the Nazis’ long list of atrocities, especially of the concentration camps as they were when liberated in the spring of 1945. The films were terrible at first, after four years of high school they were still terrible, and they remain terrible today. But the shocking impact they had at first lessened, and the repetition gave rise to questions of why do we have to keep watching. It was terrible, it must not happen again, etc., etc., etc. We got it at the first showing, owned it after the second, and were respectively silent but much less interested the third and fourth times through.
The one exception for me was the film of the flamboyantly arrogant, taunting, and deeply cruel Nazi judges sentencing to death those who were said to oppose the regime, and later those accused of trying to kill Hitler in July, 1944, individuals who were often hung with piano wire. The sneering faces of those judges have stayed with me over all of the succeeding years. And it was only decades later that I began to recognize that all the kids who watched those films were being conditioned never to question, no, to be afraid to question, the republic’s ties to Israel. Quiet simply, the films taught American kids not only the horrors of Hitlerism, but that a person criticizing Israel would be identified and damned as an anti-Semite
The enduring and still horrible memory of the film of the judges in action makes it rather startling to see two Jewish-American Democratic congressmen act so much like those Nazi judges since becoming heads of congressional committees. Both Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler are now publicly behaving in much the same arrogant and flamboyantly cruel manner as the hanging-judges in Hitler’s service. After designating human targets for removal, the Nazi judges and the regime’s prosecutors made up dossiers of false events and fabricated evidence, photographs, and testimonies. They then identified this body of lies as “proof”, and convicted the targeted individual, who was then sent to prison or, more often, to death. This was a swift and efficient legal system, but it had nothing, of course, to do with justice.
We have now seen much of Adam Schiff. Nearly three years of his frantic, guilty-like behavior, bulging, frightened eyes, cascades of highly classified leaks, and accumulating internet reporting about his own illegal and deviant actions. Like Nazi judges, Shiff maintains a smug and condescending presence in the Congress and media, apparently believing the swamp is all powerful and eternal, the same attitude that Nazi judges mistakenly held about the thousand year Reich.
Nadler is even worse. After watching Nadler in committee sessions and media interviews dealing with President Trump, you can understand the workings of the minds of those Nazi judges. No evidence, no witnesses, no photographs, no admissions, no recordings or films, no matter, Nadler’s performance says, Trump is guilty because we say so, and we will be rid of him by drowning him in a tide of lies, innuendo, and media bias. Nadler may not be able to string Trump up with the Nazis’ favorite brand of piano wire, but his desire to hang a man against whom nothing has been proven is as palpable as that manifested by the National Socialist jurists.
Underscoring the appalling nature of the words and actions of Schiff and Nadler is the fact that they are attacking one of their own countrymen. Like most Jewish-American politicians, organizations, media outlets, voters, community and organization leaders, movie stars, journalists, and pundits, Schiff and Nadler hate Trump. Why?
Well, my own view is that they hate Trump because of those two marvelous and increasingly popular Lindberghian words “America First”. Despite the president’s nauseatingly lofty rhetoric in favor of Israel, Schiff and Nadler know that Trump, if he is to regain American sovereignty and independence in full, ultimately must cut the ropes that hold the republic like Gulliver in the thrall of Jewish-Americans and their country of first allegiance, Israel. Indeed, Schiff, Nadler, and their kind will never shy away from destroying the name, reputation, and career of any American who does not toe the Israel-First line, even if following their lead means shoveling out $4-plus billion a year to Israel, while 16 million American kids go to bed malnourished every night. Improving the nourishment, health, and lives of even 1,000 of those kids would be of infinitely more value to the republic than Israel ever has been or ever can be.
I also have to acknowledge that I experienced Gauleiter Nadler’s scorched-earth passion to annihilate those of his fellow Americans who refuse to lick the boots of Israel and their thug-like –e.g. Rahm Emanuel — Jewish-American supporters. In October, 2013, I testified before the Congress’s homeland security sub-committee on the issue of what motivates young Muslims to become jihadis. In that session, I listed six motivators, including a half-century of U.S. support for Arab tyranny, and the U.S. government’s humiliatingly womanish willingness to do Israel’s biding and defend nearly everything it does. The video of that session was on YouTube until the Democrats retook the House in 2018. It has since been removed. About nine minutes of the video of my discussion with Peter King and a decidedly odd fellow named Stewart, the latter a budding Joe McCarthy from Utah, can still be seen, for now, at https://mondoweiss.net/2013/10/relationship-americans-fighting/.
On 18 October 2013, Herr von Nadler gave the media paragon BuzzFeed a statement about me. He also apparently gave it to all House and Senate members. BuzzFeed printed Herr von Nadler’s diktat, and it said, in part,
“Dr. Michael Scheuer’s extreme views toward Israel are well known. The fact that the Republican majority invited such a blatantly outspoken anti-Israel activist is inexcusable. Dr. Scheuer’s testimony before the Homeland Security Committee recommending that America ‘dump the Israelis tomorrow’ couldn’t be more wrong. A strong U.S.-Israel relationship is absolutely vital to the national security interests of the United States. I’m not sure why the Republican-controlled Homeland Security Committee would want to be amplifying Dr. Scheuer’s harmful message.” (1)
Not surprisingly, I was never again asked to speak to the Congress. I also lost my adjunct professorship at Georgetown University almost immediately after the statement was published. Oddly, I was teaching in the 2013 fall semester and no one at Georgetown told me that I had been dismissed. I did not find out until early January, 2014, when I realized the usual request from the university’s bookstore for a list of books I needed for the spring semester had not arrived. I called the head of my department to let him know that I had not received the list, and his response was akin to, “Oh, I owe you an apology. We decided last fall that we did not need you or your course on al-Qaeda and jihadism any more, but I forgot to tell you.”
Thus, the hate, malice, and destructiveness of the Israel-Firsters toward fellow Americans who object to Israel’s chokehold on the republic and its treasury, Congress, and media, extends from the great, like President Trump, to the truly insignificant, like me.
During Mr. Trump’s recent visit to the U.S. troops still ridiculously based in Iraq, he told them and all Americans, that the United States would no longer play the “sucker” to the rest of the world. It surely is true that the President has alleviated some of the republic’s longstanding status of international sucker-hood, but perhaps the most dangerous and expensive case of our sucker-hood will remain cemented in place so long as the republic continues to willingly play the fool for Israel and Jewish-Americans, and allows Israel-First cretins like Schiff, Nadler, and their like to abridge the free-speech rights of Americans.
It would be well, I think, for Mr. Trump to read and take to heart a 1796 letter from George Washington to Alexander Hamilton. Washington’s usual reserved demeanor was, in this instance, noticeably absent. In the letter, he vigorously damned reports that the Directory of revolutionary France was going to send an envoy – perhaps accompanied by a French fleet — to demand from him the “annihilation” of the Anglo-American agreement known as Jay’s Treaty, or face war with France. “We will not,” Washington told Hamilton,
be dictated to by the Politics of any Nation under Heaven, farther than Treaties require of us. … But if we are to be told by a foreign Power (if our engagements with it are not infracted) what we shall do, and what we shall not do, we have Independence yet to seek, and have contended hitherto for very little. (2)
Washington also knew that such a French demand would be supported by disloyal Americans who allied themselves with the French, even to the point of wanting the republic to join France’s war against Britain and much of Europe. Washington said that such support amounted to “the misconduct of some of our own intemperate people, who seem to have preferred throwing themselves into the Arms of France (even under the present circumstances of that country) to the manly, and Neutral conduct which is so essential, and would so well become us, as an Independent Nation.” (3)
Washington, with these words, provides contemporary Americans and their president with a precise description of the situation the republic today faces with Israel. The pro-Israel senators and representatives who place Israel’s interests above those of America’s have indeed thrown themselves into the “Arms of Israel”, and are eager to arrange the “annihilation” of any U.S. citizen’s free speech, income, and reputation if they dare to express loathing and anger for pro-Israel Democratic and Republican politicians in Congress, the men and women who have created and maintained the republic’s decades-long, sucker-like readiness to play the role of Israel’s slave.
If you are serious about America First, Mr. President, release the documents that show the part that Israeli diplomats and intelligence agents played – in cooperation with their colleagues from the UK, Australia, and Italy – in the attempt to overthrow a legitimately elected U.S. government. You could also throw in the proof you have in your possession of Israeli espionage operations in the United States, its theft of intellectual property from American businesses, and its provision of U.S. technology to China and Russia. You might even add to the mix the fact of Israel’s dastardly, murderous, and Imperial-Japan-like attack on the USS Liberty. Taken together, these items would be more than enough justification to give Israel and its Jewish-American operatives the heave ho, leave them to their own devices, and finally erase the word “sucker” from the republic’s forehead.
