Pete Mellor Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Ex Archbishop Desmond Tutu calls on Joe Biden to end financial support to Israel. Every recent US administration has performed a perverse ritual as it has come into office. All have agreed to undermine US law by signing secret letters stipulating they will not acknowledge something everyone knows: that Israel has a nuclear weapons arsenal. Part of the reason for this is to stop people focusing on Israel’s capacity to turn dozens of cities to dust. This failure to face up to the threat posed by Israel’s horrific arsenal gives its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, a sense of power and impunity, allowing Israel to dictate terms to others. But one other effect of the US administration’s ostrich approach is that it avoids invoking the US’s own laws, which call for an end to taxpayer largesse for nuclear weapons proliferators. Every recent US administration has performed a perverse ritual as it has come into office.

This failure to face up to the threat posed by Israel’s horrific arsenal gives its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, a sense of power and impunity, allowing Israel to dictate terms to others. But one other effect of the US administration’s ostrich approach is that it avoids invoking the US’s own laws, which call for an end to taxpayer largesse for nuclear weapons proliferators. Israel in fact is a multiple nuclear weapons proliferator. There is overwhelming evidence that it offered to sell the apartheid regime in South Africa nuclear weapons in the 1970s and even conducted a joint nuclear test. The US government tried to cover up these facts. Additionally, it has never signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Yet the US and Israeli governments pushed for the invasion of Iraq based on lies about coming mushroom clouds. As Israeli nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu said: the nuclear weapons were not in Iraq – they are in Israel. Amendments by former Senators Stuart Symington and John Glenn to the Foreign Assistance Act ban US economic and military assistance to nuclear proliferators and countries that acquire nuclear weapons. While president, Jimmy Carter invoked such provisions against India and Pakistan.But no president has done so with regard to Israel. Quite the contrary. There has been an oral agreement since President Richard Nixon to accept Israel’s “nuclear ambiguity” – effectively to allow Israel the power that comes with nuclear weapons without the responsibility. And since President Bill Clinton, according to the New Yorker magazine, there have been these secret letters. US presidents and politicians have refused to acknowledge that Israel has nuclear weapons even though the law offers an exemption that would allow the funding to continue if the president certified to Congress that aid to a proliferator would be a vital US interest. Israel’s per capita gross domestic product is comparable with that of Britain. Nevertheless, US taxpayer funds to Israel exceed that to any other country. Adjusted for inflation, the publicly known amount over the years is now approaching $300bn. This farce should end. The US government should uphold its laws and cut off funding to Israel because of its acquisition and proliferation of nuclear weapons. The incoming Biden administration should forthrightly acknowledge Israel as a leading state sponsor of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East and properly implement US law. Other governments – in particular South Africa’s – should insist on the rule of law and for meaningful disarmament, and immediately urge the US government in the strongest possible terms to act. Apartheid was horrible in South Africa and it’s horrible when Israel practises its own form of apartheid against the Palestinians, with checkpoints and a system of oppressive policies. Indeed another US statute, the Leahy law, prohibits US military aid to governments that systematically violate human rights. It’s quite possible that one of the reasons that Israel’s version of apartheid has outlived South Africa’s is that Israel has managed to maintain its oppressive system using not just the guns of soldiers, but also by keeping this nuclear gun pointed at the heads of millions. The solution for this is not for Palestinians and other Arabs to try to attain such weapons. The solution is peace, justice and disarmament. South Africa learned that it could only have real peace and justice by having truth that would lead to reconciliation. But none of those will come unless truth is faced squarely – and there are few truths more critical to face than a nuclear weapons arsenal in the hands of an apartheid government.

Richard Price Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Well, we're out of 2020, but the insanity goes on. According to an interview of a biographer of VP Pence, he is "torn" between fealty to Trump and his duty to the country. There truly need to be trials for treason and sedition for the Republicans who are "TORN" between these two incongruous ideas. Every one of them have violated their oath of office. Oath taken by Senators and Congressmen: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God. Penalty: Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it. 18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES (Select sections copied below) §2381. Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States §2384. Seditious conspiracy If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both. §2383. Rebellion or insurrection Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Douglas Caddy Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thank you. Richard, for pulling together this compendium of relevant statutes. The ABC national news tonight reported that 140 House Republicans plan to challenge the rightfully designated electors from some states as well as do a few senators. It will be an attempt to overthrow the government, thus meeting the import of the statutes you have cited. Give credit to Senator McConnell for the first time in memory as he said this is the most momentous vote that has occurred since he was elected to the senate. He warned GOP senators not to go down this path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Price Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thank you Douglas. I felt I had to post something to try and show those who are saying that we need to put this behind us and move on, that they need to consider more extreme measures. As a student of history, I find it obscene that these Congressmen and Senators are taking these actions on behalf of a "single" beneficiary - Trump. At least the group that last performed a similar action, were doing so on behalf of a "shared cause" and not to benefit ONE man. The fact that the current day activities are in behalf of one man (who wishes to be dictator), make their acts FAR more insidious They, by these acts are intending to make the ENTIRE country slaves to THEIR agenda and their God Like "Fuhrer". This is happening when they are a 30% or so representation of the population. If allowed to go unpunished, that percentage will grow and they will get more virulent and violent in order for the minority to exert total control of the majority. The former group (Civil War era), for the most part, had no intention of taking over the US Federal government, but instead wanted to secede from the union and establish its own territorial rule over those of a similar mind and geographic area. It is my thought that if some sort of punishment or rebuke is not issued, much like the Missouri Compromise, we have only delayed the misery and conflict and will pay dearly.
