PressTV - '7,500 US officials serve Israel interest, Tel Aviv biggest threat to US'

[EE_]

Yeah, I think the world is waking up.

An international lawyer says while the US Intelligence Community (IC) considers Israel the greatest threat to America’s national interests, there are about 7,500 US officials “who do Israel’s bidding,” serving Tel Aviv’s interests with no reservation.

In an article published on Press TV website, Franklin Lamb noted that a study commissioned by the US Intelligence Community earlier this year, has reached the conclusion that the American national interest in fundamentally at odds with that of Zionist Israel.

“It’s … an 82-page analysis [entitled: Preparing For A Post Israel Middle East] that concludes that … Israel is currently the greatest threat to US national interests because its nature and actions prevent normal US relations with Arab and Muslim countries and, to a growing degree, the wider international community,” Lamb added.

The IC-commissioned study clearly stated that Israel is grossly interfering in the internal affairs of the United States through spying and illegal US arms transfers.

“This includes supporting more than 60 ‘front organizations’ and approximately 7,500 US officials who do Israel’s bidding and seek to dominate and intimidate the media and agencies of the US government which should no longer be condoned.”

According to the report, the analyst added, IC believes that Israel leadership, with its increasing support of the 700,000 illegal settlers on the occupied West Bank “is increasing out of touch with the political, military and economic realities of the Middle East.”

The IC report also argued that as a result of Tel Aviv’s current brutal occupationist and belligerent policy, it “cannot be salvaged any more than apartheid South Africa could be.”

“…as American power and influence recedes, the US commitment to belligerent oppressive Israel is becoming impossible to defend or execute given paramount US national interests which include normalizing relations with the 57 Islamic countries.”

Advising the US government to avoid “entangling alliances that alienate much of the world,” the IC noted that instead of getting militarily involved in the Middle East on behalf of Israel, the US should undertake “the repairing relations with Arab and Muslim countries including the drastically curtained use of drone aircraft.”

“US public opinion no longer supports funding and executing widely perceived illegal US wars on Israel’s behalf. This view is increasingly being shared by Europe, Asia and the International public.”

The biggest guns are not the ones that shoots bullets but words.....as we all know the "Jews" are the ones that controls 87% of all news because they own that percentage of news paper, magasines, radio and tv stations........like I keep saying "If you want to know what is going on in the US and around the world you must read to foreign news. I am not talking only about the news coming out from the Arab world but from different countries from around the world.

In the 1960s, overweight tourists in polyester shorts and Hawaiian shirts would go on bus tours of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury hippie district.


The tourists would stick their heads out of the windows of the Freak Tour busses, gawking, pointing, and laughing at the “crazy hippie freaks” on the sidewalks. The hippies soon began to retaliate by holding up mirrors, “You want a good look at a mindless, clueless freak? Look in the mirror.”

Today, Iran's media is holding up a mirror to the West. And the West does not like what it sees. But instead of admitting its own ugliness, and resolving to change, the terrified West wants to ban the mirror and kill the messenger.


Iran's international media, led by Press TV and al-Alam, are providing honest coverage of issues that the Western media, including Western-owned-and-influenced “Middle Eastern” outlets like al-Jazeera and al-Arabiyya, are afraid to touch. And it is this relatively honest, accurate, and balanced reporting that offers the West a polished mirror in which to gaze at its own hideous reflection.

When the Western pundits scream “Iran wants to build nuclear weapons!” Press TV holds up a mirror - and the West sees who is really armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons (Hint: It isn't Iran).

When the Western opinion-shapers howl “Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism!” Press TV holds up a mirror - and the real state sponsors of terrorism, including the 9/11 inside job, get a good look at themselves, and run away screaming.

When the Western propaganda machine wails “Iran's elections were fraudulent,” Press TV holds up a mirror to the widespread fraud that afflicts American elections as well as the foreign elections that America's imperial machine rigs and steals with depressing regularity.

When the Western media megaphone intones, “Iran wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth,” Iran's media holds up a mirror, revealing that is the West's settler colony in Occupied Palestine that is actually wiping Palestine off the face of the earth.

When the Western “mighty Wurlitzer” plays the tune about how Iran is led by fanatical war-mongering extremists, Press TV holds up a mirror - and the terrifying face of Benjamin Netanyahu causes everyone to run away screaming.

When the West complains about Iran censoring some of its dissident media outlets, Iran holds up a mirror showing just who has not only suppressed or marginalized nearly all genuinely dissident voices, but who even silences anything remotely resembling truthful political speech about most of the key issues of the day. (Hint: It isn't Iran.)

When the West complains about Iran persecuting or imprisoning religious or political dissidents, Press TV holds up a mirror - and the West sees the “torture gulag” through which over 100,000 of the world's leading Muslim activists have been processed in the wake of the 9/11 inside job, which was designed to trigger a global war on Islam.

When the West whines about Iran's “Islamic radicalism,” Press TV holds up a mirror, revealing just who it was who created and continues to employ al-Qaeda and related astroturf “jihadi-patsy” groups whose role is to smear the good name of Islam, and destabilize the Muslim world, through insane, intolerant, extremist behavior.

When the West accuses Iran of anti-Semitism, Press TV holds up a mirror, revealing that the true face of Zionism is vastly uglier than the most pernicious anti-Semitic stereotype ever dreamed up by the looniest Jew-hating Nazi.


The West, terrorized by its own image as revealed by the all-too-accurate Iranian media mirror, is running in circles, tearing its hair out and screaming, “Please, somebody, make it go away!”



Last year, the UK's Office of Communications, whose appropriately Orwellian moniker is “OfCom,” banned Press TV under a transparently ridiculous pretext.

Then this year, Eutelsat CEO Michel de Rosen, a notorious associate of right-wing Likudnik extremists, took Press TV off its platform, effectively denying the channel to hundreds of millions of Europeans.

Here in the US, none of the biggest cable and satellite TV providers dare to allow their viewers access to Press TV. This is hardly surprising. If Americans were informed that most of the world knows that 9/11 was an inside job, that Israel is a criminal regime, and that America is ruled by druglords and other criminals, they would certainly rise up in revolution. The truth is just too dangerous.

US and Canadian leaders have even discussed legally banning Press TV (which seems hardly necessary, since virtually all US media and communications are owned by Israelis and Israeli sympathizers, who would never dream of allowing Press TV to be shown to Americans).

Please call your TV provider and demand that it provide Press TV as part of its package. After all, isn't there room for at least one major international news network that isn't owned by Israelis?

If the Israelis are so convinced that their own perspective is correct, and all alternative perspectives are wrong, why are they afraid of allowing even ONE dissident voice to compete with them?

NDAA bans Iran’s Press TV from U.S. airwaves (http://www.fightbacknews.org/2013/1/5/ndaa-bans-iran-s-press-tv-us-airwaves)

Chicago, IL – The massive 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), signed into law by President Obama Jan. 2, contains sanctions that effectivly ban Iran’s popular station, Press TV, from U.S. airwaves or cable networks. Press TV is still available on the internet.


Following the NDAA’s passage, Press TV interviewed Chicago anti-war leader Joe Iosbaker. the interview can be seen at http://www.presstv.com/detail/2013/01/05/281926/us-has-torture-chambers-... (http://www.presstv.com/detail/2013/01/05/281926/us-has-torture-chambers-all-over-world/) . Iosbaker is also a spokesperson for the Committee to Stop FBI Repression, and is one of the anti-war and international solidarity activists whose home was raided by the FBI.


Iosbaker told Press TV, “In order for there to be an anti-war movement, there has to be alternative sources of information. And they’re afraid of the anti-war movement because even in just the recent history, the anti-war movement has had consequences for the rulers here.”


The NDAA sanctions on Iran target the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and the President of the IRIB, Ezzatollah Zargami. The law calls for “placing them on the list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury.”


Iosbaker said to Press TV, “Anyone who has even a cursory understanding of history knows that the U.S. government has always been doing one of two things. They have always been either repressing dissent or they have been actively preparing to repress it.”


This is not the first such move by the U.S. The U.S. currently bans the popular and progressive Lebanese TV station Al-Manar. In 2008, a New York businessman was jailed for ‘material support for terrorism’ for including Al’Manar in satellite TV broadcast in the U.S.

Iran’s English-language Press TV channel has been dropped from the satellite platform that allowed it to broadcast in the United States and Canada, the channel said.


The state-owned, 24-hour network broadcasts world news and pro-government views beyond Iran’s borders.



Press TV had broadcast in North America on the Galaxy 19 satellite platform. The channel did not say when it was dropped.



New sanctions announced by the US Treasury Department this week blacklisted the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and its director, Ezatollah Zarghami, which oversees Iran’s broadcast channels.



Press TV said in a statement that its being dropped from Galaxy 19 was a “flagrant violation of freedom of speech.”



In October, the Paris-based Eutelsat, one of Europe’s leading satellite providers, cut Iranian state television and radio broadcasts to comply with tougher European Union sanctions on the Islamic Republic.



The Eutelsat decision hit 19 channels provided by IRIB, including Press TV.



Galaxy 19 is operated by Luxembourg-based Intelsat, according to the firm’s website. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


The European Union has stepped up sanctions on Iran’s banking, shipping, and industrial sectors over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program which the West fears is aimed at producing nuclear weapons. Tehran denies the charge.
