Late Senator Fulbright warns of Zionist influence on Washington
Re: The Final Act of Submission
"The price of empire is America's soul, and that price is too high."
Spoken by Arkansas Senator J William Fulbright during the Vietnam war campaign
"A preventive war, to my mind, is an impossibility. I don’t believe there is such a thing, and frankly I wouldn’t even listen to anyone seriously that came in and talked about such a thing."
President Eisenhower
Press conference, 1954
"Israel controls the U.S. Senate. The Senate is subservient, much too much; we should be more concerned about U.S. interests rather than doing the bidding of Israel. The great majority of the Senate of the U.S. - somewhere around 80% - is completely in support of Israel; anything Israel wants; Israel gets. This has been demonstrated time and again, and this has made [foreign policy] difficult for our government."
Arkansas Democratic Senator James William Fulbright
(1905-1995)
Chairman of Foreign Relations Committee
Founder of Fulbright scholarship program (Israeli as well)

Proof State of Israel control Washington to determine America's destiny in foreign policy adventurism...
John McCain likes to talk 'tough', what does he know...?
By MAGGIE HABERMAN, NY POST
December 11, 2006 -- Sen. John McCain swept onto the turf of potential rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Rudy Giuliani last night, vowing a strong defense of Israel and saying military action may be needed to prevent Iran from building nukes.
"The Iranian regime defines itself by hostility to Israel and the United States," McCain said in a convocation speech for Yeshiva University at the Waldorf-Astoria, adding, "We are dealing with a possibly deranged and surely dangerous regime."
"We have a long way to go diplomatically before we need to contemplate other measures," McCain said. "But it is a simple observation of reality that there is only one thing worse than a military solution, and that, my friends, is a nuclear-armed Iran."
"The regime must understand that it cannot win a showdown with the world," he said.
"And as Americans, we also need to reassure the reformers and the millions of Iranians who aspire to self-determination that we support their longing for freedom and democracy."
On Israel, he pledged that America will "defeat terrorism . . . and we will stand with Israel as she fights the same enemy."
He also promised the state of Israel will "always, always" exist.
McCain, who is slated to travel to the Mideast tomorrow, touched on Iraq briefly, saying that to "wash our hands of a messy situation . . . is to risk catastrophe . . . If U.S. forces begin a pullout, we risk all-out civil war and the emergence of a failed state in the heart of the Middle East."
[...]
And the Vietnam war veteran & experienced politician pledges his loyalty to a particular nation above America's sovereignty?
John McCain is a traitor among so many others in Washington.
It's easy to imagine the founding fathers and patriots -- who fought and died for the colonial states & America the fledging nation to liberate itself from the tyranny of Great Britain and warn against foreign influence as a dangerous adversary -- are still (perhaps perpetually) rolling in their graves.
Excerpt from Arizona senator (& McCain's buddy) Jon Kyl's web site:
Israel has Full Support of United States
WASHINGTON, D.C. July 16, 2006
"In a time when one of our closest allies is threatened by indiscriminate attacks on its population centers, and our President and Secretary of State are overseas, it is incumbent on this body to remain united in standing behind Israel. I am pleased that the [Senate] leadership is preparing a resolution expressing bipartisan condemnation of Hezbollah’s attacks [House voted 410-8, proving Washington staunchly support State of Israel regardless], and support for Israel’s right to respond in the name of self-defense."
"I am pleased that our allies, too, understand the grave nature of this [fabricated] crisis - and its origins. The joint statement released over the weekend by the G8 states unequivocally that this violence 'results from efforts by extremist forces to destabilize the region and to frustrate the aspirations of the Palestinian, Israeli, and Lebanese people for democracy and peace. These extremist elements and those that support them cannot be allowed to plunge the Middle East into chaos, and a wider conflict.'
Israel wants the all-out war in the Middle East & Central Asia region, and will have to drag America through the mud to accomplish that single-minded purpose.
"In light of the chaos being precipitated by Hezbollah’s rocket and missile capability - a capability being provided directly to Hezbollah by the governments of Syria and Iran - I thought it would be appropriate to take a moment today to talk about how that threat can be addressed. The estimated 13,000 missiles currently in Hezbollah’s arsenal are hidden throughout Southern Lebanon, in private homes, caves, and factories. [...]
"We still don’t know how the current crisis is going to end
Intentionally standing firmly with de facto aggressor Israel while pretending not to know the solution, until Israel's adventure come to an end in the humiliating defeat.
What we can and should say, however, is that Israel has the full support of this body in its ongoing efforts to fight terrorists, protect its citizens, and create the circumstances for peaceful coexistence with Lebanon, and all of its neighbors."
This man with 20 plus years of political experience is incapable of dealing with reality.
Chairman Fulbright's thoughts
"It is the problem of the development in this nation of organized groups which bring into American political life the feuds and emotions that are part of the political conflicts of foreign nations. This is one of the things that our Founding Fathers came here to avoid when they created this nation...
Just as we have witnessed the success of one group in forcing an amendment into the Mutual Security Act, we see other groups trying to force the President to tailor the summit agenda to satisfy other ethnic groups. There is no end to this."
"Mr. President, this nation has welcomed millions of immigrants from abroad. In the 19th century we were called the melting pot, and we were proud of that description. It meant that there came to this land people of diverse creeds, colors and races. These immigrants became good Americans, and their ethnic and religious origins were of secondary importance. But in recent years, we have seen the rise of organizations dedicated apparently not to America, but to foreign states and groups.
"The conduct of a foreign policy for America has been seriously compromised in this development. We can survive this development, Mr. President, only if our political institutions -- and the Senate in particular -- retain their objectivity and their independence so that they can serve all Americans." [my emphasis]
In a speech titled "The Clear and Present Danger" at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri -- where Winston Churchill had delivered his famed "Iron Curtain" address in 1946 -- Fulbright complained that the
"majority of office holders in the U.S. have fallen under Israeli domination... Neither the Israelis nor their uncritical supporters in our Congress and in our media have appreciated what is at stake in the enormous distortion of American interests in our Mideast course. Endlessly pressing the U.S. for money and arms—and invariably getting all and more than she asks—Israel makes bad use of a good friend. We alone have made it possible for Israel to exist as a state. Surely it is not too much to ask in return that Israel give up East Jerusalem as the necessary means of breaking a chain of events which threatens us all with ruin."
"Gradually but unmistakably America is showing signs of that arrogance of power -- the tendency of great nations to equate power with virtue and major responsibilities with a universal mission -- which has affected, weakened and in some cases destroyed great nations in the past. In so doing, we are not living up to our capacity and promise as a civilized example for the world; the measure of our falling short is the measure of the patriot's duty of dissent. And, in a democracy, dissent is an act of faith."

A pre-emptive war in 'defense' of freedom would surely destroy freedom, because one simply cannot engage in barbarous action without becoming a barbarian, because one cannot defend human values by calculated and unprovoked violence without doing mortal damage to the values one is trying to defend.
