“Americans who are going to bed hungry only want to see and
hear just so much about life in Israel, the endless free time, the beaches, how
all hard work is performed by one million foreign nationals who do the
shopping, cook the food, run the farms and factories, leaving real Israelis to
enjoy the existence of H.G. Well’s “Eloli” from his novel, The Time Machine,” Duff wrote.

Wikipedia note: Eloi in
The Time Machine: “The Eloi
are the childlike, frail group, living a banal life of ease on the surface of
the earth, while the Morlocks live underground, tending machinery and providing
food, clothing and infrastructure for the Eloi. Each class evolved and
degenerated from humans.
The novel suggests that the
separation of species may have been the result of a widening split between
different social classes. The main difference from their earlier ruler-worker
state is that, while the Morlocks continue to support the world’s
infrastructure and serve the Eloi, the Eloi have undergone significant physical
and mental deterioration.

While one initially has the
impression that the Eloi people live a life of play and toil-less abundance, it
is revealed that the Morlocks are attending to the Eloi’s needs for the same
reason a farmer tends cattle; the Morlocks use the Eloi for food. This is why
there are no old people, and why the Eloi seem to fear the dark.

“The American entertainment industry may have to take a
spare moment away from its glorification of torture and abuse, its demonization
of ‘the inferior races’ and return to its role of incessant victimization
mythology. If this fails, Israel may find its free ride on the ‘gravy \train’ at
an end.”
A
December 10, 2012, Glenn Greenwald article addresses a dark Hollywood
case, “Zero Dark Thirty,” in which he asks and answers the question: “Can a movie that
relies on fabrications to generate support for war crimes still be considered
great?”

“What this film does,” Greenwald says,
“is [it] uncritically presents as fact the highly self-serving, and factually
false, claims by the CIA that its torture techniques were crucial in finding [Ethnic
Yemeni Kindite, member of the wealthy Saudi bin Laden family, al-Qaeda founder Osama
bin Mohammed bin Awad] bin Laden.
“[It] propagandizes the public to
favorably view clear war crimes by the U.S. government, based on pure
falsehoods.”

spliced in the ending
of Gordon Duff’s article. This is the heart of Duff’s development pegged to the current
pageantry in Tel Aviv and less-headlined neglect at home. U.S. President Barack
Obama’s message to Israel, Duff says, “will never be reflected in a press release.”
Certain utterances will never reach screaming network news. Duff says ─

It isn’t just that America can no
longer function as the largest unpaid mercenary force in the world; America is
broke.
America’s ‘free money’ printing
presses are at the ‘end of the line,’ policing the world is no longer an option
when America itself is coming apart ‘at the seams.’
It is Obama’s job to explain to [Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu that America is going to have to cut back on
its deliveries of free white phosphorous and cluster bombs; this may require
cutting back Israel’s bombing of Gaza.

“$25 billion in American money buys a life in Israel that
those who pay for it will never be able to enjoy,” says Vietnam Veteran Duff, “unless
they happen to be of the right religion and ‘theoretical ethnicity.’

hard to find ways to totally abandon its millions of disabled

Between 25,000 and 50,000 veterans of the ‘War on Terror’

who looked on them as unpleasant reminders of Bush-era failed policies.

[Yet] … one rule has been inviolable:
no matter how many veterans die of exposure and starvation, no matter how many
children of the poor go to sleep hungry or … are forced to eat rats to stay
alive, the endless overt and covert aid to Israel ─ up to $25 billion dollars
per year ─ is supposed to continue.

Affordable Care Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) (commonly
called Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act) is a United States federal statute
signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. Together with the
Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, it represents the most
significant government expansion and regulatory overhaul of the U.S. healthcare
system since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obamacare
Zero Dark Thirty
In a December 10, 2012, article in The Guardian UK, Glenn
Greenwald addressed the “Zero Dark Thirty” issue. “Can a movie that relies on
fabrications to generate support for war crimes still be considered great?” he
asked and answered.
“…That this film would depict CIA interrogation programs as
crucial in capturing America’s most hated public enemy, and uncritically herald
CIA officials as dramatic heroes, is anything but surprising.
A large Hollywood studio would
never dare make a film about the episode which is America’s greatest source of
collective self-esteem and jingoistic pride without clinging tightly to
patriotic orthodoxies.
The events that led to bullets being
pumped into Osama bin Laden’s skull and his corpse being dumped into the ocean
have taken on sacred status in American lore, and Big Hollywood will inevitably
validate rather than challenge that mythology.
“…The claim that waterboarding and other torture techniques
were necessary in finding bin Laden was first made earlier this year (2012) by
Jose Rodriguez, the CIA agent who illegally destroyed the agency’s torture
tapes, got protected from prosecution by the DOJ [U.S. Department of Justice],
and then profited off this behavior by writing a book. He made the same claim
as ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ regarding the role played by torture in finding bin
Laden.
That caused two Senators who are
steadfast loyalists of the CIA - Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne
Feinstein and Armed Services Committee Chair Carl Levin - to issue statements
definitively debunking this assertion. Even the CIA’s then-Director, Leon
Panetta, made clear that those techniques played no role in finding bin Laden.
An FBI agent central to the bin Laden hunt said the same.
“What this film does, then, is [it] uncritically presents as
fact the highly self-serving, and factually false, claims by the CIA that its
torture techniques were crucial in finding bin Laden.
“Put another way, it propagandizes the public to favorably
view clear war crimes by the U.S. government, based on pure falsehoods.
“Shouldn’t that rather glaring ‘flaw’ preclude gushing
admiration for this film? Is it possible to separate the filmmakers’ political
propaganda and dissemination of falsehoods from their technical skills in
producing a well-crafted entertainment product?”
