Film Review
After briefly discussing US military aid to Ukraine, this episode mainly focuses on the major control America’s powerful Zionist lobby exerts over the US congress.
The Russians began their special operation against Ukraine on February 24, 2022. By late fall 2023, the US had spent over $75 billion for military aid to Ukraine. In December 2023 Republicans began selectively blocking additional military aid to Ukraine, after polls showed over half of Republican voters opposed the continuing NATO war in Ukraine.
In contrast, the US Congress has never opposed or sought to scale down a proposal for Israeli military aid.* For decades Israel has consistently been the largest recipient of US military aid, a total of $130 billion since 1979.
The US government funds 15% of Israel’s total military budget. It’s estimated they have 80-400 nuclear bombs. All administrations since Kennedy have taken on responsibility for ensuring Israel’s qualitative edge over other Middle East countries.
In addition to US government support, Israel also receives substantial private corporate funding, given that most of the US economy is controlled by Israeli supporters. Founded by three Zionist financiers, Blackrock controls $9.42 trillion of the $37.5 trillion of “legal” money circulating in the global economy. The four major defense contractors producing the armaments the US sends to Israel (Lockheed Martin, Northup Grummond, Boeing and General Dynamics) depend on BlockRock for a substantial portion of their operating capital. Larry Fink, BlackRock chairman and CEO, is an open Zionist.
After students demanded their universities divest from BlackRock and the defense contractors they finance, Bill Ackman, a US billionaire hedge fund manager, and Larry Fink began identifying and tracking anti-genocide protestors to ensure no companies they fund offer them future employment.
Zionist billionaires also “buy” pro-Israel votes in Congress through the super PACs they fund to finance the elections of compliant lawmakers.
Zionist lobbyists used this influence to force university presidents to led to crackdown on anti-genocide protests. The presidents of Harvard and University of Pennsylvania were both forced to resign after being congressional committee members accused them of antisemitism.
Although many American Jews oppose Israel’s genocidal campaign against Gaza,the 50% of US billionaires who are Jewish all support Zionism.
Cloud platform Oracle, which is run by Zionist Larry Ellison, built a global database for the CIA by monitoring and collecting ted data from activists’ social networks and messaging apps (as NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden described in 2013). Ellison is one of the largest private funders of the Israel occupation army, as well as providing Israel extensive surveillance data on Gaza residents.
*The 2,000 pound bombs Trump just released for delivery to Israel are an except. Beginning in October 2024, the Biden administration held up delivery of some congressionally approved military aid.
