Protocols of the elders of Dubai

I comment on a number of American sites. During the ports imbroglio I read completely without surprise but with horrified contempt the naked racism engaged in by many on both sides.

There were (and are) all sorts of valid criticisms to be made of that deal but what swung against it was politicians kowtowing to naked racism. I have two questions for my American readers:

How much of the US telecomms and internet structure is controlled by Israeli firms - Do you have the answer to that? I do, and I know damned well that the only reason that why similar revolting tactics weren't used on Israeli investors is because they'd blow up in the faces of those trying the anti-semitic card, and rightly so.

How much of airline security is controlled by Israeli firms who for very good reason are the best there is in the world at preventing hijackings - Do you have the answer to that? I do and I know damned well that the only reason that why similar revolting tactics weren't used on those Israeli businessmen is because they'd blow up in the faces of those trying the anti-semitic card and rightly so. .

Here's the way it is. Americans are damned quick to assume they can take over other people's assets. It's a two way street and American self-indulgence has put America and Americans in the situation where you need foreigners to prop up an unearned lifestyle. You've put yourselves in the situation where you need foreigners most notably the Arabs and the Chinese to pump money into America more than they need to do the pumping. Earlier generation made huge sacrifices to get the US to where it is. They did it with courage, decency, and a hell of a lot of hard work, if they wanted something they made sure they could afford it. That's not the way things are now.


Here's a little song for you translated from "furrin" to "amurkin":

We own all your helmets.
We own all your shoes.
We own all your weapons.
Touch us and you'll lose.

Get used to it.

Now go read this and then this and then this.
