One thing about the truth coming out like it is these days, no one is going to be able to stop it.
The truth has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, no racial affiliation; it does not have a pronoun or a sexual preference, and it does not hide behind lies.
This week’s truth: AIPAC and the United States of Israel chatter.
As Georgia Congressperson Marjorie Taylor Greene explained, AIPAC takes every freshman member of Congress that will go on a special trip to Israel in August, on both sides of the aisle.
She also pointed out that 32 members of Congress are foreign-born with dual passports.
As we are learning more about AIPAC and our government, many people are waking up to the fact that it is not left or right. It is actually the American people against government/lobbyists.
Recently, about 250 state and US representatives took an all-expenses-paid trip to Israel.
I urge you to do your research on the trip’s tagline 50 States 1 Israel.
I will say if the two “fighting” parties (as in blue and red) can get along on a cushy little Israeli trip, they had better come home, put their egos aside, and get some work done.
The truth is, every American needs to wake up and get their work done, voting any politician greedy enough to take lobbyists’ money, and especially the AIPAC-driven politicians, out of office.
AIPAC’s words: “We supported 361 pro-Israel Democratic and Republican candidates in 2024 with more than $53 million in direct support through AIPAC.”
In fact, 96% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their general election races in 2024.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was founded in 1954 as a lobbyist group. It emerged as a powerful lobby in the 1970s/1980s. It was not until 2021 it began to make direct political contributions when it formed its own political action committee (PAC) to contribute funds to candidates.
A Christian friend told me she was having a tough time not backing Israel even if it meant the annihilation of Palestine.
She listened to Jewish Israeli Intelligence Officer Ari Ben Menashe and said she changed her mind.
“I believe the Israeli’s have the American government captive,” Menashe said.
That captivity might begin with looking at the “Epstein list.” And, while the blue people scream Trump is on the list, look into Biden, Clinton, and Obama too.
That list could have been out years ago during either administration, but Epstein’s island and the sexual abuse of so many victims was a mere game to blackmail those in power.
Remember too, Ghislaine Maxwell’s daddy was rumored Mossad. Basically, Israel’s CIA on steroids.
Ghislaine likely does not care since she was recently quietly moved from doing her 20-year prison sentence at a Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, to a minimum-security Federal Prison in Texas called “Camp Cupcake” where daily yoga is one of the perks.
Let’s start with her daddy was a Zionist and what that means, a lot apparently in what is going on now in Israel, Palestine and the US.
Moshe Ber Beck, a Hungarian-born American rabbi explained before his death Zionism and Judaism are not the same and conflating the two can cause harm.
I have no opinion on the Jewish matter, but since they get free healthcare and college tuition according to Marjorie Taylor Green it does not seem like too bad a gig.
I did find the rabbi’s rabbit hole quite intriguing though. I mean we know “Bibi” (Netanyahu) is a Zionist and that he is clearly running the show both in Israel and America through AIPAC dollars.
Of course, Bibi does know a thing or two about America and politics so he plays the game well. He graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, worked for a Boston consulting group, became a naturalized U.S. citizen as a teenager while living in Philadelphia, and only gave that up when required so he could be appointed as a senior Israeli diplomat in the 1980s.
I am going to bring up Charlie Kirk briefly here because Bibi has lately been downright adamant he had nothing to do with Kirk’s murder.
I guess the accusation can be attributed to Candace Owens.
To that point Bibi is blaming Kirk’s death according to the New York Post on Qatar although I am confused on how they got in the mix for being accused.
I am also confused on how Bibi Netayahu, family name Mileikowsky of Ashkenazi lineage from Poland with apparently neither the blood nor the language became Prime Minister of Israel and maybe America. I do know reports indicate he grew up in the salons of the elite in New York, and his father was a hardline Zionist historian.
A few other interesting tidbits, a bill has been introduced in Congress by Florida’s Brian Mast (since March 2025 he has received $700,480 worth of contributions from AIPAC) to revoke passports of US citizens who criticize Israel.
Last week the US was also the lone veto (14 out of 15 votes) at the UN Security Council Gaza ceasefire/humanitarian aid vote for the sixth time.
If the USA is going to become the United States of Israel, can we be honest about it. At least then we know the rules of the game so each person can decide what they want to do.
