Fillmore > With the explosion of internet use giving people access to alternative news sources and foreign media --the mainstream US media have lost and are losing some of their news "gatekeeper" status. No doubt about that -- but it doesn't mean the MSM will change their approach because they are losing business. I believe they will continue to reflect the opinion of the establishment which, at present, is firmly in favor of "Israel right or wrong". > My take is that the Zionists' ability to set the Mideast agenda reflects not just their own power, but the lack of serious elite opposition Not only lack of opposition but lack of a suitable alternative or competing policy at the highest level. Furthermore, the Zionist/neocon manifesto (PNAC) has been framed cleverly (a) to involve the military-industrial-complex (b) to be attractive to Big Oil and the banks and (c) to have an intellectual appeal to those who may be concerned about the declining status of the US in the geopolitical arena. > With he Iraq disaster opening the eyes of many to the costs of letting the Zionists dictate US Mideast policy, I expect such opposition to mount exponentially in the years ahead. There will certainly be opposition because the policy has been a disaster not only to the US but to Israel itself. Nevertheless, the US can't just walk away from Iraq and leave a quagmire. Thus, I believe it has trapped itself deep in the Pandora's Box for a long time to come. Of course, this will have serious repercussions both in the US and within the region. > BTW I view the alliance between Zionists and Christian fundamentalists as the equivalent of the Hitler-Stalin pact. It cannot last and they will turn on each other with a vengeance before long. Especially because the coalition has failed to produce any substantial benefit to anyone, in fact, the opposite.
