Israel's Cost to USA, World

It's the Economy, Stupid!

Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

 

Before the Iraq War, the State of Israel had probably cost the USA something around $2-3 trillion in constant 2000 dollars -- in total and not just for aid.

 

In their recently published book entitled The Three Trillion Dollar War, The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict, Columbia Professor Joseph Stiglitz and Harvard Professor Linda Bilmes calculate the cost of the Iraq War, into which the USA was manipulated by Neocons acting as a Jewish Zionist special interest, at over $3 trillion dollars in 2008 dollars. 

 

This amount must be added to the cost of Israel to the USA.

 

 

The US National Debt Clock gives the total amount owed by the USA as $9,673,439,186,084.33 as of September 7, 2008.

 

The dollar is worth a lot less today because of the Iraq war than it was in 2000. In constant 2008 dollars, US support for Israel is responsible for a good deal more than half and probably 2/3's of the total national debt.

 

Not only has US support for Israel done tremendous damage to the US economy and thereby harmed every single American except for Bush's hyper-wealthy very often Jewish Zionist cronies that have profiteered from the Iraq war and similar efforts on behalf of Israel, but because of the US role in the world economy practically everyone on the planet has been affected negatively by the US-Israel alliance.

 

To staunch the bleeding wound that Israel represents in the world economy, Israel must be dismantled and the assets of the Zionist Virtual Colonial Motherland (or Judonia as I prefer to call it) must be transferred to a US Sovereign Wealth Fund as compensation for the economic harm that Zionism has caused the US and whose most recent example I discuss in One Economic Crisis or Two?.

 

If the State of Israel and Judonia are not abolished, there is no way to escape catastrophe because the amount of US wealth consumed by Zionism and winding up in the bank accounts of Zionist Jewish political economic oligarchs will only grow until there is nothing left of the US economy.

 

Unfortunately, unless one of presidential candidates shows himself to be a true patriot willing to take a stand against shabbesgoyism, Americans have no hope for the future.
