Pentagon senior adviser said U.S. support for Israel was due to ‘Israeli lobby’ money

 

A new senior Pentagon adviser repeatedly said that United States support for Israel was due to money from the “Israeli lobby” and accused prominent political figures, including U.S.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, of getting “very, very rich” from their support for the Jewish state—echoing the anti-Semitic tropes of Israeli control of the U.S. government and Jewish money controlling politics and policy.

 

Retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, who recently became a senior adviser to acting U.S. Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, made the remarks in two media appearances in 2012 and 2019.

 

Bias Obvious

“You have to look at the people that donate to those individuals,” said Macgregor in a September 2019 interview when asked if then-U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) sought war with Iran. “Mr. Bolton has become very, very rich, and is in the position he’s in because of his unconditional support for the Israeli lobby. He is their man on the ground in the White House.”

 

“The same thing is largely true for Mr. Pompeo, he has aspirations to be president,” he added. “He has his hands out for money from the Israeli lobby, the Saudis and others.

 

AIPAC Responds

In a 2012 interview with the Russian-state outlet RT, Macgregor alleged that the Israel lobby has “enormous influence” on Congress and accused the lobby of “pushing military action” against Iran.

 

“I think the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its subordinate elements or affiliated elements that represent enormous quantities of money that over many years have cultivated an enormous influence in power in Congress,” he said. “I think you’ve got a lot of people on the Hill who fall into two categories. One category that is interested in money and wants to be re-elected, and they don’t want to run the risk of the various lobbies that are pushing military action against Iran to contribute money to their opponents.”

 

In a tweet on Friday, Nov. 13, AIPAC called Macgregor’s remarks “ill-informed and illegitimate.”

 

“We are proud that we are engaged in the democratic process to strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship. Our bipartisan efforts are reflective of American values and interests. We will not be deterred in any way by ill-informed and illegitimate attacks on this important work,” tweeted AIPAC.

Macgregor did not respond to requests for comment from CNN, which first reported these past remarks.

 

Earlier this year, he was nominated as U.S. ambassador to Germany to succeed Richard Grenell, but his nomination stalled in the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee due to past controversial comments.

Emails from State and Federal Lawmakers Give Us An Indication of Cluelessness of GOP Politicians

 

Recent emails from a Republican State Representative in Michigan and a Democrat US Representative in Kansas give us an indication of the state of the union.

 

The largest and most grotesque election fraud the world has ever seen occurred in our country and this is how our politicians respond.

 

This first email was a response to an email to Michigan Republican Representatives about the election steal:

 

Good morning Joe,

 

Safe and secure elections are a cornerstone of our democracy, and more and more people are questioning the system we have in place to protect them. I have listened to many people who have concerns about fraud and election irregularities, and everyone deserves answers.

 

Under Michigan law, the Legislature does not have a role in the certification process or the Electoral College vote, and it absolutely does not have the authority to choose the winner of an election. While the Legislature has “plenary power” to establish our state’s election processes, that power is not absolute and is still subject to other constitutional constraints. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that the right to a popular vote for president that state legislatures have created is a fundamental right, and under the Constitution the exercise of a fundamental right cannot be infringed upon retroactively for due process reasons.

 

Michigan’s elections have been certified and the electoral vote has been cast, but that hasn’t changed our responsibility to investigate reports of fraud and look at all the evidence presented to us. I assure you; post-election audits are being conducted and the Legislature has been actively engaged in a thorough review of all reported irregularities.

 

The U.S. Congress makes the ultimate determination on today of who wins the Presidential election and can respond to evidence of fraud by choosing not to accept a state’s certification. It would be the job of law enforcement to ensure any bad actors are fully prosecuted under the law.

 

The Michigan House Oversight Committee heard testimony from the president’s legal team and has already issued a subpoena to Michigan’s Bureau of Elections for documents on our state’s election process to provide needed clarity to concerned residents. Administrators from Dominion Voting Systems have appeared before the Senate Oversight Committee. Additionally, subpoenas have been issued to the cities of Detroit and Livonia.

 

I am hopeful that transparency and accountability provided by the audit and our committee hearings will give everyone confidence in the results and provide valuable insight we can use to help make sure the next election runs much more smoothly.

 

I am and will always be a strong advocate for safe and secure elections.

 

Moving forward, fixing the problems people have with our system will be top priority, because Michigan voters deserve a process they can trust.

 

-Jack

 

(We now understand that the above was a canned reply provided to all Michigan Representatives.)

 

Yesterday a reader provided to us a response to an email about the election steal from Democrat US Representative Sharice Davids out of Kansas:

Biden Says Trump Not Fit to Serve as President, Accuses Him of Inciting Violence in DC

 

US President-elect Joe Biden has denounced US President Donald Trump for the insurrection by his followers on Wednesday, accusing him of inciting the violence and saying he is unfit for the nation's highest office. Trump is due to step down in two weeks.

 

Speaking on Friday from his transition headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, the 78-year-old president-elect called Trump "incompetent, unfit to serve," and "an embarrassment around the world."

 

However, he said there is still one thing he and Trump agree on: "him not attending my inauguration." However, Biden noted that US Vice President Mike Pence, who was not a party to Wednesday's violence, is still welcome to come.

 

Biden also reiterated his position that the Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol building and ransacked it in an attempt to halt Congress' certification of the 2020 election results are "domestic terrorists."
