Welcome change is happening, albeit too slowly

What the U.S. government or its “elite” minions want is simple, though. It wants to maintain the economic and military dominance it has had since 1945, but in fact it cannot. The scheme is failing, albeit slowly. Average Americans, or at least those with brains, are dismayed because this goal is more or less wrecking their lives and prospects while all they want is a government that addresses their own needs

NOURNEWS/NORTH CAROLINA - There exists a plethora of “stories” this century so far, few of them likely applauded by intelligent lifeforms at a distance such as the drivers of UFO’s the U.S. “defense” establishment claims to have photographed and recently shown to the public. Would that one of these UFO’s would finally land somewhere on earth and declare the extinction of homo sapiens unless the species stops mucking up the planet and themselves.

But it’s not hard to get the impression that the U.S. government and its associated institutions and allies are the biggest “muckers” of them all. The question looms in the same way the question has always loomed from males about females: what do women really want? Well, what does the U.S. really want, because the wanting is so self-centered it is not doing any kind of service to peace and calm on earth.

What the U.S. government or its “elite” minions want is simple, though. It wants to maintain the economic and military dominance it has had since 1945, but in fact it cannot. The scheme is failing, albeit slowly. Average Americans, or at least those with brains, are dismayed because this goal is more or less wrecking their lives and prospects while all they want is a government that addresses their own needs: sustainable jobs, adequate healthcare, an improved infrastructure and an end to the application of sanctions and military activity that is bankrupting the country and making enemies willy-nilly most everywhere. Why is this so damn hard? Because the few have profited from the status quo, everyone else be damned.

What’s going on inside the U.S. is of little concern to Iranians unless it affects U.S. foreign policies in the Middle East. But it’s worth noting that marginal changes in attitudes are occurring. For example, quite a few Democratic Party representatives in Congress have criticized the Zionists’ de jure attempts to annex the best parts of the West Bank and many are coming around to the perception that denying Palestinians any role whatsoever (as under Apartheid) is not kosher, noting that support of Apartheid, just as it was supported in South Africa by the U.S. long ago, is neither smart nor sustainable. It’s interesting that just a few days ago, too, one Bari Weiss, a Zionist columnist at the New York Times, resigned from her pundit position at the newspaper.

Not surprisingly, Weiss wrote a long letter of resignation to the NYT claiming she had been harassed and slandered and even called a “racist” by colleagues, and moreover that the paper had let go of its alleged mission to report the news fairly from a centrist posture as the “paper of record” in the U.S.

The NYT has long been a Zionist mouthpiece, and yet staffers, if not other columnists, were complaining, allegedly, that her columns were arrogant, parochial, intolerant and ill- suited to a U.S. national newspaper. But Weiss has never been a “centrist” herself but rather a Zionist ethno-nationalist who has cared about just a small claque of Neocons and/or Jewish Americans, or Israel especially.

Yes, many at the NYT are or are trying by necessity (so the paper can retain some relevance while the Trumpists claim the paper is printing reams of “fake” news) to respond to the wide recognition of racism that has exploded across the country since May, and they are beginning to see the inherent racism in Zionism which, more than any other factor, has underscored and pushed harmful U.S. Mideast policies like nothing else for decades.

And as well, Jewish journalism professor and writer Peter Beinart has come out in support of equal rights for Palestinians and a bi-national state west of the Jordan River. He has received lots of criticism such as claims that equal rights in Palestine are not workable. He has asked Jewish leaders in the U.S. if they have ever seen the Occupation in Palestine firsthand, if they have ever read a book by a Palestinian, and what their children think? Most all Jewish leaders have not seen much of anything nor have they asked the right questions. But there are exceptions among Jewish leaders as in the case of Rabbi Alissa Wise, a director of Jewish Voice for Peace, who wants the NYT, in atonement for the harm caused by its editorial pages, to hire one of many well qualified Palestinian writers like Yousef Munnayer or Noura Erekat to replace Weiss.

Whatever else may be happening, the most positive development worldwide has to be China offering Iran a deal to trade its oil for billions in support aimed at improving Iran’s infrastructure and economy and in defiance of U.S. sanctions.

The U.S. slams Chinese and Iranian assertiveness as “imperial overreach” when it is not. What assertiveness that has existed has largely been defensive in nature given the belligerence of the U.S. around China and around Iran which amount to non-stop efforts to create tensions with their respective neighbors. The Trump gang saying China has no sovereignty or rights in the South China Sea, for example, but the U.S. does? So the Chinese must ask: if China can’t patrol or dominate its coastal waters, what “rights” does the U.S. have to control the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean, its own coastal waters? Whoever is piloting UFO’s must be asking the same questions.
