The previous article described ritual elements in this unfolding political theater, looking at both Trump
and Harris in psychological terms of the Shadow and Personas; subservience of those
marionettes to Israel, stressing just how far removed both are from truly
American interests; and introduced Political formulas – any ideas and
beliefs used by the rulers to legitimize their rule, and internalized by the domesticated
to justify their own support of these politicians who fulfill some kind of
“need” for them. Now, I will examine a major political realignment that is part
of a Synthesis of ruling ideologies converging into a shared Political formula:
The alliance between Neocons and the Democratic Party, a broad coalition of
interventionists coalescing around Kamala Harris.
Such an alliance symbolizes
the greater threat –more tangible than a “greater evil” that both poles of the
uniparty evoke to fear-herd their proles safely into their corrals –
represented by Harris. While Trump epitomizes a personality cult that will
ultimately die with him(1), Harris is the opportunist bureaucrat par
excellence (as far as “excellence” can even be applied to her vapidness): Cold,
calculating, devoid of ideas but ready to mold herself into whatever empty suit
her donors want her to dress into. Her psychopathic cackles (and record as
California top cop) showing she has no capacity for empathy aside from being
drunk on her own sense of authority, much like Hillary Clinton’s infamous laugh when
she heard about Qadhafi’s brutal murder. Even no personality, as seen from her
fake accents to pander to whatever audience she appears before, and sharply changing her
positions in an unnatural way as if simultaneously denying she held other positions
before. Kamala Harris personifies the Managerial State that entrenches itself
more insidiously, with the outer figurehead irrelevant to its operations.
On 21 October,
Harris appeared alongside her endorser Liz Cheney, anointed successor of her infamous father at the dynastic helm of
the Neocons(2), as part of a campaign tour with a stop in Royal Oak, Michigan.
Their remarks were published by the White House, alongside Harris’ other campaign speeches, only days after
she claimed her presidency wouldn’t be “a continuation of Joe Biden’s”. Not only with her
cozying up to Neocons but all her speeches indicate nothing but continuity
– ramping up the War Machine, keeping US foreign policy at the disposal of the
Military-Industrial Complex and AIPAC, and imperialist orthodoxy of America’s
role in the world. Case in point are these words regurgitated in her typical
brilliant [sarcasm intended] word salad:
"Let’s
remember recent history. Europe remembers it well. We — then when we got
attacked, Pearl Harbor, we jumped in, and it is because America jumped in that
we were ultimately able to win that war, and it should be a constant reminder
to us — we have to remember history — that isolationism, which is exactly what
Donald Trump is pushing — pull out of NATO, abandon our friends — isolationism
is not insulation. It is not insulation.
It will not insulate us from harm in terms of our national
security."
Aside from the
vapid deduction that a country could only win a war that they’re actually
involved in, was her repetition of what led to America’s involvement in that or
other wars divorced from actual history – unfortunately only too common
within this country. In this case, the dogma that Pearl Harbor “was” a
spontaneous attack of which the Roosevelt regime merely reacted without either
prior knowledge or intention of entering the war. Yet to even evoke that is no
accident – its certainly not her own words, but concepts given to her by
advisors steering her behind the scenes. Indeed, her Neocon friends famously
called for “a new Pearl Harbor”(3) only a year before 9/11, by which time its
authors and signatories held positions within the government.
She evoked “one of the great, great American heroes, a prisoner of war, John McCain.” That Neocon who sadistically beat the war-drums everywhere the opportunity presented itself up until his dying breath, whose close advisors included two of that PNAC report’s authors (Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan). He has been idolized to such an extent that to even criticize him is considered tantamount to blasphemy, as his life and reputation is clearly seen as more worthy than those of the millions who died in the wars he championed. McCain’s son endorsed Harris, evoking his father’s legacy as most synergistic with her agenda. A week before, Harris warmly remembered how John McCain once told her: "You're gonna make a great senator."
Harris previously said the mantra “Isolation is not insulation” at a NATO conference on 16 February, where she was “making forceful case for America’s continued global leadership” according to the White House’s official release.(4) At the Royal Oak event, a local Egyptian Muslim leader was thrown out and barred for no other reason than his prominent role in Palestine activism. That she would unceremoniously do so at an event with the anointed Neocon darling is resurrecting not only in spirit but also in deed the environment that so many of her Party did in full complicity with the Neocons in the “War on Terror” and Patriot Act/NDAA Police State.
Just the day before, Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff also appeared at a campaign event in Michigan to stress how “she has prioritized Israel her whole career.” On 30 Oct., Bill Clinton spoke at a Harris campaign event at a church in Muskegon Heights, where he wove a Zionist narrative filled with Biblical themes that would’ve been at home among the most fanatical. “When I read that people in Michigan are thinking about not voting, because they’re mad at the Biden administration for honoring its historic obligation to try to keep Israel from being destroyed, I think that’s a mistake, because Donald Trump has shown what he wants.” He asserted the Palestinians “wanted to kill Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable. Well, I got news for them. They were there first before there was - their faith existed. They were there in the time of King David in the southernmost tribes had Judea and Samaria.” What else is needed to demonstrate that Harris is first and foremost running to be AIPAC’s empty suit – the true authority behind the throne, as I also examined regarding Trump and the Woke Right in my previous article? Yet there will reliably be "vote blue no matter what" lemmings marching into the polling station to comply with the evil they claim to oppose.
Liz Cheney’s resurrection from disgraced Wyoming Congresswoman to darling of the media and establishment is complete. This includes being proposed as potential appointee in a Harris regime, and rebranded as a “moderate” solely because she opposes Trump. Progressive magazine The Nation, which endorsed Harris, published an article praising Liz Cheney as a “no-bullshit Republican who can create a permission structure for other Republicans to make this choice” of joining the Harris coalition. Bernie Sanders, who built a career as a phony outsider before openly cucking to the Democratic establishment, applauded Cheney’s “courage in defending democracy.”
This is a reference to the psyop of January 6th, engineered to ramp up the National Security State, as if this Managerial State with its constant stream of regime change wars and overthrowing elected governments is some paragon of “democracy”. Liz Cheney followed through the circuit of the Democrat echo-chamber “talk” shows, including the TDS-obsessives at “The View”. Witness the sympathy given her by the corporate media, after the contrived “controversy” that Trump allegedly called for a firing squad. The truth is he was calling her “a radical war hawk” who “always wanted to go to war with people”. This alludes to the chicken hawk theme I only know too well personally(5), of Neocons who never served in any wars, beating the drums of war knowing full-well others would die for what they champion.
She is being groomed to lead a post-Trump
Republican wing of the Corporate uniparty that uproots any traces of
“isolationism”. Harris was also “honored” by an endorsement from Dick Cheney himself, perhaps in reverence for the one
who was a more “popular” Vice President than her even after he shot a guy in the face. Harris memorialized the
war-father/daughter team as “putting country above party” with their endorsements. What we are seeing is not some principled flowering of
defense of “American democracy” (never mind that this country is a
constitutional Republic), but a realignment that is part of shared ideas and an
ongoing synthesis of ruling formulas. “This union is far more than a marriage
of convenience to stop Trump; it reflects broad-based agreement on U.S.
hawkishness toward Russia and beyond,” as noted by independent journalist Glenn Greenwald in 2017.
There has been complete rehabilitation of the Neocons, rewriting history and throwing past political showmanship down the memory hole. Figures such as Cheney, Bush, and McCain have been entirely sanitized the wars they championed – alongside the Democrats – reduced to mere “honest mistakes” never to be spoken about again, to be forgotten as if the untold costs in blood and treasure we continue to face today doesn’t matter. Bush is an honored guess at social events with Hollywood celebrities and Obama. No memories from that time are allowed to seep into the consciousness lest it disturb the bipartisan consensus’ ability to join hands and sing “kumbaya” to defeat the “cruel fascist” Orange Man Bad. The Biden/Harris administration’s support for Israel in Gaza is itself a mainstreaming of George Bush. The Neocons and Left’s own history of inciting mobs are thrown down the memory hold in the face of what Harris calls “the worst attack on democracy”. Their ability to promote militarism at home and abroad while putting a “kinder” Woke and Globalist face to Empire(6) must be left unhindered from any embarrassing heresies.
National "Security" State Endorses Kamala
If it was just members of those three dynasties, we could say it was a personal dispute with Trump that led them to endorse Harris. But there is a pattern involving hundreds of Neocon and War Machine staffers, agents, and advisors lining up behind Kamala Harris to be their chosen president. These endorsements occur not because they’ve changed their views or renounced their previous actions; their words are crystal clear – they are as committed as ever and view Harris as the best vehicle for continuing their War Machine as illustrated by her political record and reiterated in her DNC speech. Its not that Trump is against their War Machine – he is just too much of a wild card whereas Harris fits more neatly into the mold of empty suit politician who will reliably dance to any tune they play.
On 26 August, more than 200 former Bush, McCain, and Romney staffers endorsed Harris. Their declaration cited the Jan. 6 psyop (“incited an insurrection”), yet admitted they had already endorsed Biden in 2020. These staffers who sold their souls to the architects of endless wars and the Patriot Act/NDAA, had the nerve to make empty platitudes about “our beloved democracy” and “our sacred institutions” as the reason to endorse the Harris/Walz campaign. Their professions of speaking for “everyday people” certainly didn’t exist when those willing idiots were complicit in the undeclared wars and government surveillance that were never voted upon by the people.
On 18 Sept., more than 100 former “National Security” officials from Republican administrations also
endorsed Harris. Their declaration praised her as “a principled, serious, and steady leader who can advance and
defend American security and values, strengthen our alliances, and protect our
democracy.” This stands in stark contrast to Trump, who “betrayed our values,
democracy, and this country’s founding documents” by “inciting the violent
attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
They praised
Harris for her “commitment to upholding the ideals that define our nation,”
specifically citing her DNC pledge to “ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the
world”, [ensuring continued profits for the War Profiteers]; to “always stand
up for Israel’s right to defend itself” and “to take whatever action is
necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed
terrorists”, [championing the war against Iran those Israel-First Neocons have
always advocated]; and spoken of a military hardline against Russia and China.
They concluded fear-mongering about Trump’s “unpredictable nature” and how “in
matters of national security, his demeanor invites equally erratic behavior
from our adversaries, which irresponsibly threatens reckless and dangerous
global consequences.”
This is shamelessly ironic with its signatories including CIA directors William Webster (under Reagan and Bush Sr.) and Michael Hayden (under Bush Jr. and Obama), who engineered or fueled coups and civil wars around the world with “dangerous global consequences” affecting millions. As NSA Director from 1999 to 2005, Hayden weaponized the Patriot Act against the American population (and further eroded the Bill of Rights), argued for the “constitutionality” of the warrantless electronic surveillance he was engineering for the regime, and openly denied that “probable cause” was required for searches or seizures despite as explicitly defined in the Fourth Amendment. Hayden went on to pursue a lucrative career in the revolving door between Big Business and the State: He served as principal of the Chertoff Group, founded and staffed by his comrades at the NSA and Homeland Security; and now serves on the advisory board of NewsGuard, to gatekeep what is “truth” or “disinformation” for the plebs – clearly using the same propaganda techniques from the CIA and NSA.
Hayden epitomizes
the revolving door between Government, Big Business, and national “security”
institutes, all devoted to feeding the War Machine and its foreign and domestic
engines. His name-sake think-tank ensures cushy jobs for various “former” spooks and “experts” legitimizing the
National Security State that subverts the nation and weaponizes it against the
world. Other signatories include the first Director of National Intelligence,
John Negroponte,
“one of the architects of our
blood-stained interventions in Latin America under President Reagan, now
apparently loses sleep over Trump’s ‘contempt for the norms of decent, ethical
and lawful behavior.’” Another is PNAC co-founder Eliot Cohen, who consistently
lobbied for wars for Israeli interests even before 9/11. In a November 2001
op-ed, he called for the war on “terror” to be expanded into “World War IV” to include both Iraq and
Iran. He was a member of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee, which brought
together chickenhawk Neocon civilians like himself and retired military
officers with links to Corporate war-profiteers; and a counselor in the State
Department from 2007 to 2009.

On 20 Sept., the
National Security Leaders for America, a collective of 741 agents of the War
Machine, “proudly” endorsed Harris with all the same double-speak we’re accustomed to see from Neocons.
“This election is a choice between serious leadership and vengeful
impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism.” While in
the same breath invoking “democracy”, that Harris “would make an excellent
Commander-in-Chief” stresses their singular militaristic focus on waging endless
Imperial wars as the foremost duty of the U.S. President. Such a role “requires
listening to those with expertise,” clearly referring to themselves as this unelected,
permanent Imperial brain-trust and profiteer class. They decried Trump as
insufficiently interventionist unlike Harris:
“Vice President Harris has proven she is an effective leader able to advance American national security interests. Her relentless diplomacy with allies around the globe preserved a united front in support of Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression. She grasps the reality of American military deterrence, promising to preserve the American military’s status as the most ‘lethal’ force in the world.
"The contrast with Mr. Trump is clear: where Vice President Harris is prepared and strategic, he is impulsive and ill-informed. He has heaped praise on adversarial dictators like China’s Xi Jinping, North Korea’s Kim Jung Un, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, as well as the terrorist leaders of Hezbollah. Conversely, he has publicly and privately excoriated the leaders of our most steadfast allies, including the United Kingdom, Israel, Australia, Canada, and Germany. He abandoned our Kurdish allies while ceding influence in the Middle East to Russia, Iran, and China.”
Their endorsement is testament to the insane fantasies this alliance of civilian chicken-hawks and profiteering military-men have of keeping the U.S. within this permanent war footing, with endless wars that are the health of the State. Their crocodile tears about “dictators” come from people who propped up dictators around the world and undermined any movement toward local sovereignty. They want involvement in the Syrian Civil War through “Kurdish allies” who are actually armed Communist fanatics building their own statist “utopia” over even Kurds who get in their way.(7) They made the bizarre claim that Adelson-puppet Trump has “excoriated” Netanyahu, which says more about their own fanatical Zionism that has no place even for a rhetorical “America-First” smokescreen.
The truth is that all their professions of “democracy” while engineering a world in blaze, speaks to their narrow worldview caring only about their own immediate surroundings - not even the vast regions of the United States directly affected by their draining the resources toward Empire. TDS is the refuge of the morally-bankrupt, excusing the architects of war, Wall Street bailouts, and the Police State as heroic because "Orange Man Bad". History is rewritten so that politics is recast as a bastion of sanity and honor before he came on the scene to disrupt it. Just to illustrate with one notable example: Those who have no outrage about the War Machine with its millions of corpses, will be selectively outraged by words like “suckers and losers”, whose source Jeffrey Goldberg happened to be a cheerleader of the Iraq War, who fabricated the spurious “Al-Qaida links” and is a warmongering chickenhawk – except he served as a prison guard in a foreign army: the Israeli. These are the type of scoundrels recycled through TDS. He writes for The Atlantic, a publication crawling with suspicious links (to put it mildly) at the top.(8) A South African law professor at Howard University makes some great observations:
“Cheney’s endorsement of Harris, framed as a repudiation of Trump’s divisiveness, conveniently ignores his own role in eroding civil liberties in the US and across the world. One of Cheney’s signature policies, the ‘war on terror’, brought with it the expansion of executive power and a profound shift in the relationship between the American government and its citizens...The Patriot Act, passed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, granted the US government sweeping surveillance powers, many of which were abused in the name of national security….And yet, those celebrating Cheney’s endorsement of Harris over Trump are now portraying him as a defender of democracy, as if the destabilising effects of his policies were somehow a lesser evil….
“The ripple effects of the Iraq War are still being felt today. The instability it created in the Middle East has made it fertile ground for extremist groups, leading to a proliferation of violence that has engulfed nations far beyond Iraq’s borders. The rise of ISIL, the ongoing Syrian civil war, and the refugee crisis that has strained Europe can all be traced back, at least in part, to the power vacuum created by the toppling of Hussein. Yet, despite the overwhelming evidence of the war’s catastrophic consequences, Cheney has never fully reckoned with his role in bringing about this disaster. By endorsing Harris, he is attempting to paint himself as a responsible elder statesman, but his track record tells a different story – one of hubris, miscalculation and indifference to human suffering….
“What makes Cheney’s endorsement, and the Democratic Party’s
embrace of it, particularly galling is the way in which they gloss over these
past sins in order to paint him as a guardian of American values. While Trump’s
rhetoric and policies may have caused harm within the US, Cheney’s decisions
inflicted untold suffering on far more people all across the globe. The
selective moral outrage they direct at Trump while embracing Cheney as a
saviour of democracy, is a testament to the hypocrisy of the liberal political
establishment in the country.”(9)
Liberal
Interventionists: Repressed "Humanitarian" Shadow of the Neocons - and the Soros Connection
Sadistic war pigs
link their blood hands together, liberal interventionists as the repressed shadow
of the Neocons. They couch their wars in terms of “alliances” and “global
systems” but it’s the same narrow Corporate interests; the only difference is they
place more focus on Globalist networks while Neocons are more tied to
expansionist Likudists, but it’s a shared Zionist agenda. Their growth was simultaneous to that of the Neocons, drawing on many of the same ideological threads. The liberal
interventionists found their messiah through Obama, who managed to win the
Nobel “Peace” Prize even while expanding the Neocons’ wars. His “Hope and
Change” was an illusion under which they should repress their Shadow to assuage
their own feelings of guilt. The Neocons then streamed into the Clinton
campaign (with a few hanging on to Trump) but have been fully grafted on to the
Biden and Harris campaigns as their endorsements from 2020 and 2024 have shown.
Kamala Harris is Hillary Clinton 2.0 in more ways than one. Her embrace of the Neocons is no surprise since she’s been running on Clinton’s 2016 playbook: “And in fact, many of the same, she’s being consulted by Hillary Clinton, many of the same people are running it.” Indeed, there were signs even before the election that year. On 5 July 2014, Jacob Heilbrunn argued in a New York Times op-ed: “The neoconservative movement may be connecting with Hillary Clinton in a bid to return to the driver’s seat of American foreign policy.” Its not like their endless wars were somehow disrupted under Obama. On the contrary, Neocons Robert Kagan and Max Boot both praised Clinton’s State Department with its destructive proxy wars in Libya and Syria, and drone wars against multiple countries. “They’re devoted to a militarily activist role for America in the world, and they’re willing to support whichever party will advance that vision,” as Pennsylvania political science lecturer Damon Linker argued in Jan. 2015.
Their support wasn’t confined to the scribblings of Neocon (and fellow-traveler) screeds. After positions under Bush and as foreign policy advisor to McCain, from 2011 onward Kagan served on Clinton’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board at the State Department. His wife, Victoria Nuland, is a Neocon warmonger in her own right who served in every administration since Bill Clinton (except Trump), including Obama’s assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian Affairs, and more recently as Biden’s undersecretary of state. Their chameleon nature meant at times they hid under other names: Kagan began calling himself a “liberal” and “progressive” instead of Neocon.(10) Before Harris had her “National Security Leaders for America,” Kagan spearheaded “Foreign Policy Professionals for Hillary” and campaigned for her in 2016: “I would say that a majority of people in my circle will vote for Hillary.” These were among the 78 Republican interventionists who endorsed and joined her campaign.
They were joined
by their repressed Shadow, the liberal interventionists in the same coalition
that later coalesced around Harris. Although at times the Neocons use such nebulous
formulas as “spreading freedom and democracy” to justify their wars, they are
more prone to be open about their intentions – theirs is an integrated Shadow
that just openly reveals how vile and pernicious they are. But Neoliberal
interventionists are their mirror: repressing their murderous selves under the
false persona of “humanitarian” interventions and working through “alliances”. Operating
through the phony archetype of Obama allowed them to be even more murderous:
“Hillary Clinton
ran the US State Department from 2009 to 2013. It is doubtful that any
individual US official has ever done so much damage to the global community in
such short a time. Clinton was backed by the same forces that now financially
back Kamala Harris. She had a slew of staffers including Jared Cohen, Samantha
Power, Anne-Marie Slaughter, and Susan Rice.”(11)
.jpg)
They used their connections with Big Tech oligarchs to manipulate “networked” media in fomenting “color” revolutions around the world. Their special project was the Arab Spring, culminating in the sadistic murder of Qadhafi in Libya and barbarous proxy “civil war” that continues to wage in Syria. The ultimate agenda is the same whether its couched by the Neocons in terms of destabilizing the region as part of the Oded Yinon Plan, which matches exactly what the Neocons proposed in their Clean Break strategy to Netanyahu in 1996 (and carried out against Iraq when those same traitors assumed positions within the Bush regime); or by the Neoliberals as part of billionaire war-profiteer George Soros’ “Open Society”, as his ilk have profited carnivorously from those wars and engineered chaos.
Slaughter openly reveals her mentors and donors in calling for a “networked world” to scramble the “chessboard” (a la Brzezinski and Kissinger) and forge an “Open Society”. Her target was any Populism both domestically and abroad, since those movements threaten “the open international system”. She openly proclaims herself among the “Globalists” opposed to the worldwide bogeyman she calls “Nationalists” – anyone who rejects authority invested in the transnational Globalist networks managed closely by consortiums of billionaires; anyone who clings to the Nation-State structure rather than ceding to even more centralization of authority in Globalist institutions.
After leaving government (which doesn’t mean their influence over the regime ends), she co-founded the New America think-tank, as a Neoliberal counterpart to the Neocon Project for a New American Century to feed into the two dialectics of the Empire. Corporate donors included Big Tech and various war-profiteers. Their Board of Directors were among the donors to both the Biden and Harris campaigns. She championed Harris’ original 2020 campaign on foreign policy grounds: “She should assemble her own foreign policy team, as Biden did when he was vice president, to complement the president’s advisers but also to develop her own ideas and trade on her unique strengths as the face of America abroad. The United States will need to play a very different global role in the 21st century than in the 20th; Harris can be a catalyst for much of that rethinking.”
 |
More recently, Slaughter praised Harris’ DNC address: “What I came away with was strength, and freedom, and patriotism.” The co-chair of New America is none other than Jonathan Soros, who holds a leading position within his father’s network. He was a leading donor to Clinton’s campaign in 2016, but even before her embarrassing defeat, the Soros war-machine was hedging their bets on Kamala Harris. They financed her career as far back as when she was a prosecutor in San Francisco, when she pursued their objectives which included abetting the financial crimes of Steve Mnuchin's OneWest (later to provide a Sorosian link to the Trump dialectic) in the gutters of finance, while selectively weaponizing "law" against some and not others.
"Harris also has ties to billionaire Democratic Party donor George Soros, who was one of the two owners of OneWest Bank at the time. Coincidentally, before Harris passed on the opportunity to file action against OneWest Bank, Soros was pouring money into California criminal policy initiatives that Harris was pushing. In 2011, Harris’ former aide Lenore Anderson was hired as campaign manager for Californians for Safety and Justice, which was financed by Soros’ Open Society Foundations. Since 2012 Soros had led a four-year, $16 million campaign to change California attorney general. Lenore Anderson also led Vote Safe, another Soros funded organization.”(14)
After her own defeat, Clinton and her donors met with Harris at an exclusive meeting in the Hamptons in July 2017, grooming her as the “Great Freshman Hope” for the next election. “Her personality profile and career history seemed to match what they were looking for. The forces that seek to create an ‘open society’ at the cost of unlimited human lives have lined up behind Kamala Harris.”(15) George Soros’ other son, Alex Soros, who chairs Open Society Foundations, is not only engaged to Hillary Clinton’s former chief-of-staff, Huma Abedin, but joined this effort. A month before Biden officially dropped out, Harris took time out of a “busy” travel schedule to confer with Alex Soros and pose for selfies. The smiling billionaire later endorsed her and appeared as an honored guest at the DNC. On 24 Sept., he received Tim Walz in his New York high-rise as a master receives tribute from his obedient lapdog.
The leading vomiter of “humanitarian interventionism” is Samantha Power, who serves in the Biden/Harris administration as USAID administrator. In that position, she has frequently met with the Soros network in joint strategies. She has a long record in lobbying for wars within the think-tank/academia pipeline, constantly pontificating about America’s “responsibility to protect.” As Obama’s UN Ambassador, she advocated bombing and killing the people of Libya and Syria under the excuse of stopping their “genocide”. In fact, she was one of the crucial voices that swayed Obama to bomb Libya, although she has lamented that full-scale intervention wasn’t pursued in Syria. She vetoed any UN amendments against Israeli settlements, for which she earned the praise of Chabad fanatic Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (perversely lionized by the media as “America’s Rabbi”), who even called Obama’s appointment of her as “one of the most impressive actions of his presidency.” All the while lobbying for wars under the excuse of “stopping genocide”, this hypocrite has shilled for Israel regarding Gaza. In 2016, she was personally awarded by Kissinger, whom she has praised.
These Corporate
and Soros links continues directly via Harris’ two primary national security
advisors. Her National Security Advisor,
Philip Gordon, is a CFR member and senior advisor at Albright Stonebridge Group, a global business strategy firm co-founded by
Madeleine Albright, Bill Clinton's psychopathic Secretary of State who famously
greeted news of 500,000 Iraqi children dying from sanctions: “It was worth it,”
without batting an eyelid. Gordon has retroactively criticized direct "regime
change", preferring to operate “indirectly” through proxies. But even
there, like all the Democrats who championed the Iraq War, their recasting it
as a “mistake” as if an honest error allows them to continue to benefit from
those policies beyond any public scrutiny. Her deputy national security advisor is Rebecca Friedman Lissner, another CFR member with
various profitable “research fellowship” positions at high academia. She wrote the book,
An Open World: How American Can Win the Contest for 21st Century
Order, wherein she called the US “the only country that can guarantee an open
system”, clearly placing her in the same orbit as Soros and Slaughter.

| Milley with Palantir co-founder Alex Karp, a leading donor to Democratic Party and Neoliberal causes as well as a Zionist.... |
 |
| ....while Palantir's other co-founder is Peter Thiel, called Trump's "shadow president" at Silicon Valley and J.D. Vance's handler. Thiel was crucial in bringing Girard's "Scapegoat" into modern political discourse. |
The panel also spoke casually on how “technology, including artificial intelligence, could make war more precise and less brutal.” Emphasis on “more precise” which is an expansion of the “shock and awe” of Iraq into a Technik of terrorizing on a vaster scale, while “less brutal” is merely their using more “impersonal” technical means to reduce war to simulacra – dehumanizing the victim even more by making the weapons more robotic. Never mind there are always human hands and minds behind A.I. – perception is more important in the age of simulacra. So it goes much deeper than mere profits, we need only look at Palantir, which sits at the crossroads of Big Tech and the War Machine as noted by one analyst:
“Palantir is
military-grade AI. Palantir can data assist, centralizing tons of different
data analysis, compiling it, and being able to track targets and use that in
targeting systems. So when you couple that with missile programs etc., they
become much more accurate.”(18)
Karp and Peter
Thiel named their company after the magical palantiri “seeing-stones” of the Tolkien mythos: They view their AI, data analysis and
surveillance software as all-powerful, all-seeing in its Big Brother
capabilities. More data means more leverage and thus more control over their
target. Various corporate clients use Palantir for data integration and analysis, while their US government clients include the CIA, DHS, NSA, FBI, and CDC. Or as Karp boasted in his 2022 Annual Letter:
“We founded the company to build software for defense and intelligence agencies
whose budgets were larger than the economies of some countries.” It has been
increasingly clear that in the technological age, data analytics is a powerful
tool of control(19) and that these are in the hands of a billionaire donor class
that controls both sides of the dialectic as exemplified by Palantir: Karp was
a donor to Biden and Harris, Thiel was a donor to Trump. He who funds you,
runs you – and they are just two of an entire class of donors that ran the
entire (s)election dialectic through their blood money.
Not surprising,
given Thiel’s links to the oligarch network benefiting from Rona that I documented
in March 2020, Palantir has a cozy relationship with Big Pharma. Their
partnerships include Merck and Sanofi.
In the UK, Palantir was awarded an “emergency” contract by the NHS, mining patient data and health databases under the repetitive excuse of “fighting the pandemic”.
The NHS then secretly extended the contract into other areas, with expansive control over public health data. Here in the
States, Palantir was involved at all levels of Operation Warp Speed. The Department of Health and Human
Services chose Palantir in mid-2020 "to power Tiberius, the platform originally configured to support vaccine
distribution." Then in Feb. 2022 came a $5.3 million contract by the CDC
for Palantir to "integrate their data, decisions, and operations”, that

There is a strange
intersection between Big Pharma and the Israeli War-Machine. Karp joined Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla to lobby US senators to send even more aid to Israel
in July 2024, as CNBC reported. Of
course, the increased aid – added to the billions already doled out annually
with a bipartisan consensus – would be stolen from the people while their own
profits would be protected. “In recent years, Palantir has
become one of the most intriguing contractors of Israel’s security forces,” as
noted by an Israeli source. In fact, one of their Norwegian investors even dumped Palantir over its funding of the Israeli military. On 11 Jan. 2024, Thiel
and Karp met Israeli officials in Tel Aviv, agreeing on a “strategic partnership…to harness Palantir’s
advanced technology in support of war-related missions.”
One of the officials they met was Daniel Gold, head of the
Israeli Directorate of Defense Research & Development (R&D). As documented by Montreal-based freelance journalist Lital Khaikin, there is no “peaceful”
R&D in Israel – its all directed towards war. Gold is most known for leading
the team that developed the Iron Dome missile system, even skirting the military’s contracting regulations with direct funding from certain
politicians. Not surprising given his own links to the oligarch networks, Trump
has called for the US to adopt the Iron Dome – yet another example of the “MAGA” figurehead
openly speaking of giving this Israeli system control over our domestic skies.
But not to worry – American oligarchs will make plenty of profits while they
can hide behind “national interests” even while handing more systems to the
Israeli hi-tech sector that has Unit 8200 crawling all over it. Not surprising,
Gold established a national technological center for “combatting the pandemic”
in Israel, in collaboration with the defense industry, Mossad, and other agencies.
As with oligarchs and authoritarians around the world, Gold viewed the Rona as a
“game-changer” in the opportunities it presented.
Palantir was
already a major contractor in Ukraine, where they turned that country into “an AI war lab”, profiting from that war just as has
Blackrock and the various foreign companies seizing Ukrainian farmland with the complicity of Zelensky’s who wants to defend
his country from Russia while selling out his country’s sovereignty to others. So
it was a matter of time until Palantir expanded their operations into the
Middle East as well. Israel uses its AI targeting program called “Lavender”,
which despite its name smells foul and does anything but cleanse. Under the cover
of its “surgical precision”, the Israeli commanders configured the algorithms
to enable even more indiscriminate bombing of civilians in Gaza. The simulacra pattern
continues where the optics of making war more technological and therefore “cleaner”,
actually makes it deadlier.(20) Or as
Netanyahu said at the 2019 Tel
Aviv Cybertech: "Cyber is the real domain of power", as he boasted of
Israel's cybersecurity and hi-tech sector. One of those who has heeded his
message is Thiel, who admitted at the Cambridge Union on May 8, 2024: “My bias is to defer to Israel.” (Is it any coincidence he said
it on “V-Day”?)

While its true the majority of Neocons have lined up behind the Democratic Party, its foolish and dangerously naïve to assume Trump is somehow free from the
influence of other Neocons. That he threw a bone to placate those of the MAGA
base who are opposed to the endless wars, by announcing Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley would not serve in his administration – never mind
that Haley admitted she wasn’t even seeking a position – that base was distracted in their celebrations of “victory” while
Trump promptly nominated a succession of Neocons and Israel-Firsters for
leading foreign policy positions within his incoming administration.
Those Israel-First fanatics and frauds include Marco Rubio (Secretary of State), Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense), Mike Waltz (national security advisor), Brian Hook (head of the State Department’s transition team and hiring process), Elise Stefanik (UN Ambassador), Mike Huckabee (Ambassador to Israel), Howard Lutnick (Secretary of Commerce), and Kristi Noem (DHS Secretary). Many of these figures were Bush and Cheney staffers; many were even recent Never Trumpers – not surprising if we know how a dialectic operates. Their “opposition” – and the ritual of Trump as a “scapegoat” fighting the Establishment – was both a con and trolling of the masses. They align with the Woke Right in wanting to criminalize all criticism of Israel and subvert American sovereignty to this foreign nation.
Even while openly
criticizing the Cheneys, Trump hires their staffer Mike Waltz (and conveniently
glosses over that while praising his résumé). Another of his picks, Pete
Hegseth, admits he was previously an advocate for the Iraq War but disavows it
after the damage is already done – just as occurred with the entire Republican
and Democratic Party Establishment and the Corporate media. False optics of “I
made an honest mistake” is a refuge for them to hide their wicked deeds as the
population is lulled to sleep – once again – not to make any demands of the
politicians or call for accountability. Hegseth is a walking caricature and
hard to take seriously, but he made a significant admission by calling himself “a recovering Neocon.”
The face of
authority morphs with changing circumstances. They know how to play the game of
optics because they have mastered the techniques of demoralization and psych-war.
Some Neocons will retroactively disavow the regime change wars of the past,
while emboldening the Likudnik and settler factions as they terrorize their way
to a Greater Israel built on Palestinian and Lebanese lives – and American
treasure and sovereignty. Just looking at the central role that people like Jake
Sullivan and Anthony Blinken hold in this current administration, and the role
of people like Kushner and Pompeo in Trump’s first term, illustrates just how much
authority foreign policy picks and advisors hold over an Imperial Presidency,
no matter if the figurehead is a senile (Biden), ignoramus (Harris),…or
Narcissist who can be easily steered by anyone who massages his ego (Trump). I
will document the various links and agendas of these cabinet picks within the upcoming
weeks.
Footnotes and Sources:
(1) Although it can be argued that the changing face
of the Republican Party into one embracing protectionism, outreach toward labor
and working-class policies, and (at least rhetorical) opposition to
interventionism – aside from towing the line on Israel – will continue in a
post-Trump movement especially with incoming Vice President J.D. Vance as his
apparent successor.
(2) The Neocons have three hierarchies to ensure their virus
infects the widest. One is the political dynastic families (and their Corporate
ties) such as the Cheneys, Bushes and McCains. These families are there as the
public face, much as occurred with Dick Cheney in the Bush administration.
Another tier are the “intellectuals” who infest their ideas through their media
and think-tanks. The final tier are bureaucrats who come from the ranks of the
second but are given positions within the Pentagon or State Department.

Resources For a New Century,” Report by The Project for the New American
Century, Sept. 2000, p. 51. Online PDF (https://web.archive.org/web/20130921085111/http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf).
(4) Perhaps even then she was being positioned as the War
Machine’s anointed figurehead to replace the enfeebled Biden they would
“sacrifice” at the calculated moment. Her career and especially how her initial
presidential run in 2019 was the source of so much hope by the establishment,
remedied by her being chosen as vice president, also indicates she was groomed
for his position.
(5) As the son of a Vietnam War veteran who attended
veterans gatherings at the height of the “War on Terror” and Iraq War, my eyes
were opened to how many veterans are red-pilled at the Neocons being
chicken-hawk “Fortunate Son(s)” who were involved in anti-Vietnam war protests
from the safety of their universities, later going on to champion others to
fight and die for Israel and Corporate war-profiteers. Not surprising given
their own Trotskyite origins and shift to “the Right” due to the New Left’s anti-Zionism.
(6) I highly recommend the work of Christian Parenti, an
economics professor at John Jay College in New York with a long background in
journalism. His article “The Cargo Cult of Woke” (unfortunately available on a
paywall https://catalyst-journal.com/2024/06/the-cargo-cult-of-woke)
details the Corporate/Banking interests on Woke, how these are utilized by the
War Machine. His interviews about his work are freely available on many
podcasts, including Jimmy Dore and Chris Hedges. Parenti represents the
old-style class-based Left that has resisted the Trojan Horse of Wokeness which
coopted most of the Left into the State’s ideological synthesis.
(7) My total of five months in Turkey, across three summers,
including coming to know many ethnic Kurds, cured me of the previous naivete I
had – like many Westerners – that it can be reduced to a simple fight for
Kurdish “freedom” and sovereignty. Whereas its just one group of Statists
seeking to replace the authority of a nation-state with their own min-state;
all the characteristic Statist coercion is still present in their “Rojava”. Not
that paternalistic Westerners projecting their own pet projects, or the agents
of Empire who want to destabilize the region (a la Oded Yinon Plan), truly
care about them.
(8) The Atlantic’s majority owner is Laurene Powell
Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs and billionaire in her own right from her time at
Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. Powell Jobs is on the CFR chairman's advisory
board and is a founding member of the Climate Leadership Council. She funds
various projects tied to the Democratic Party via her "philanthropic"
Emerson Collective, XQ Institute, and ACRONYM. A donor to Hillary Clinton and a
close personal friend of Ghislaine Maxwell, which would tie her to Jeffrey Epstein
and Robert Maxwell – and all their links to the Mossad, Mega Group, and
“scientific” research journals.

(10) While also betraying his Trotskyite origins as a
Neocon, such as when he lamented that less American interventionism emboldened
Russia and China, “the two great revisionist powers.” (See Kagan, “Backing Into World War III,”
Foreign Policy, Feb. 2017, < https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/02/06/backing-into-world-war-iii-russia-china-trump-obama/>).
This Marxist term implies that the US Empire serves the orthodoxy of
“international revolution” (refashioned as “global war for democracy”) after
those other nations went down the “revisionist” route of “socialism in one
country”.

(13) As an
Anarchist, I advocate more decentralization down to the smallest and most local
levels. While seeing the Nation-State as a monopoly of coercion and authority,
this is even more the case with Globalism which now proclaims
Nation-States as obsolete since they have reached their next desired level of
centralization.
