As Israel is a wealthy , socialist state with world class medical and social services systems in part paid for by the U.S. taxpayer , as well as pensions provided mostly by Germany for all survivors , the entire business definitely has a bad smell to it .
If so-called holocaust survivors are actually suffering , the fault should be firmly placed where it belongs : the Jewish “ charitable ” organizations and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are custodians for the money coming from Europe and elsewhere .

Smith reports that “ Israel lobby @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America ( $ 2-5 million ) , Friends of the IDF ( $ 2-5 million ) and the Israeli American Council ( $ 1-2 million ) are grabbing huge loans from the CARES Act PPP program .
According to SBA data , Israel ’ s Bank Leumi has doled out a quarter to a half billion dollars under the program , despite being called out for operating in the occupied West Bank .
It has given sweetheart deals to the Israeli company Oran Safety Glass ( which defrauded the U.S. Army on bulletproof @ @ @ @ @ @ @ operates power plants in the occupied Golan Heights and West Bank.
” Grant has also identified PPP money going to the Jewish Institute for National Security of America ( JINSA ) , which inter alia arranges “ terrorism ” training for American police ; the Jewish National Fund , which supports Israel ’ s illegal settlements ; and the Israel on Campus Coalition , which has harassed students critical of the Jewish state on American campuses .
Several of the organizations being supported with American taxpayer money are little more than front organizations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They should be required to be registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act ( FARA ) of 1938 but the Justice Department never does anything about Israeli government fronts active in the United States .
Note that an Israeli bank has somehow been able to grant as much as a half billion dollars of U.S. taxpayer money under the program , all of it apparently going to Israeli businesses and other Israel-linked entities .
One wonder what the screening process was like , if there even was one .
And note that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Israeli lobbying group .
It too gets the cash , as does the similar .
Oran Safety Glass , which “ won ” a Pentagon contract for bulletproof glass for U.S. Army vehicles even though it could not produce the glass , also gets money .
But the most outrageous grant is to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces ( FIDF ) , an organization that raises money in the U.S. for the Israeli military .
It held a gala event in Hollywood in 2017 that raised $ 53.8 million while one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year promoted as a “ A Night of Heroes ” raised $ 35 million , so it clearly does not need the money but took it anyway .
Donations to FIDF are tax deductible as the organization is registered with the U.S. Treasury as a 501 ( c ) 3 educational and charitable non-profit foundation .
One might well ask how it is possible that the American taxpayer should subsidize a foreign military organization that is regularly accused of war crimes in its ongoing brutal and genocidal occupation of the Palestinian West Bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ screams of outrage from Congress and the media , which are silent even as an estimated 100,000 American small businesses meanwhile go bust ?
The multitude of gifts to Israel come at a time when the cover provided by the coronavirus and the BLM disruption have hidden from sight the expansion of the Israeli-American national security state .
Writing at MintPress in an article entitled “ The Merging of US and Israeli National Security States is Accelerating Amid COVID-19 , ” Raul Diego reports that : “ A two-pronged initiative by the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Homeland Security is set to substantially increase Israel ’ s already significant role in America ’ s digital health , artificial intelligence ( AI ) , critical health infrastructure , as well as law enforcement , public and border protection and other key sectors .
Citing ‘ health challenges ’ posed by COVID-19 , the U.S.-Israel Business Initiative ( USIBI ) , a venture of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce , is advancing a new eight-point policy framework to facilitate a ‘ more robust bilateral collaboration ’ between Israeli and American companies to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emerging out of Israel relating to telehealth , robotic diagnostics and AI-powered applications in healthcare.
” Diego also observes how “ In a recent article , investigative reporter Whitney Webb uncovered the deep Israeli military roots of virtually every ‘ health ’ tech startup to emerge in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and their extensive relationships with the U.S. government at both the federal and state level .
Regarding the policy framework , Webb stated that it was likely ‘ part of a broader effort aimed at using the coronavirus crisis to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , particularly in the “ digital health ” sector , into the U.S. technology ecosystem .
Many , if not the vast majority , of these companies ’ , she continued , ‘ were either founded by ex-members of Israeli intelligence or military intelligence , but also serve as contractors to Israel ’ s government or its military.
’ ” Inevitably , the rape of America and its remaining resources by Israel will accelerate with hardly a peep out of politicians or the media .
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce U.S.-Israel Business Initiative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money and jobs to Israel as it simultaneously makes Americans poorer and unemployed .
The joint projects also enable the stealing of U.S. technology to advance the Jewish state ’ s own high-tech sector at no cost .
There will also be major national security implications as the Israelis will be able to access every telephone to confront “ health challenges ” while monitoring the movement of Americans as they also record classified conversations to send the “ take ” back to Jerusalem .
And it all starts with the presumption that Israel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is not .
Fake charities and various schemes to otherwise defraud and impoverish the U.S. taxpayer is the name of the game and Israel goes on from there to become a “ business arrangement ” and “ health initiative partner ” plus “ national security asset.

Israelis invade US Covid stimulus funds
– First published … July 14, 2020 –
Washington D.C. is surely one of the most corrupt places on earth. Money talks and nearly everyone into the game sometimes referred to as politics has his or her hand out and expects to end up a millionaire.
Given that, it should surprise no one to learn that a large chunk of the CARES Business Assistance Program’s trillions of dollars recently doled out for coronavirus relief, sold to the public as intended to help small businesses survive, has instead gone to those who are politically connected through lobbyists and other special interests.
A recent Time magazine article describes what it calls “a familiar lobbying bonanza.” To be sure, the details regarding who got the cash makes for depressing reading, though there is a familiar smell to it in light of the many boondoggled programs to make America “safe” over the past twenty years.
The (PPP) has provided no less than 663,000 loans over $150,000, but much of the money has gone to “billionaires, country clubs, lobbyists, political allies, Wall Street, and big business,” all of which have better access to government than does the small business owner.
Recipients included 600 mostly large equity and asset management firms that were actually ineligible because of their involvement in “investment or speculation.”Cash rich law firms also benefited with more than 45 of top firms receiving at least $210 million in PPP loans while companies owned in whole or part by nine congressmen also received funds. A business partially owned by Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, obtained a loan as did a real estate project run by the family of Jared Kushner.
Other decidedly questionable recipients include Planned Parenthood, the Church of Scientology, and rapper Kanye West, up until recently a Trump favorite, who, with his wife Kim Kardashian, owns a shoe and clothing company worth an estimated $3 billion.
Given the apparent fact that obtaining a loan was largely a matter of who you know, it is perhaps not surprising that the state of Israel and its myriad supporting entities in the United States were in front of the line when the money was passed out.
I recently wrote about the apparent holocaust scam run out of Israel whereby gullible foreigners have been receiving emails and seeing media solicitations regarding how Jewish survivors of World War 2 currently in Israel are living in squalor and starving due to the impact of the coronavirus. Readers commented that there are similar ads running on television in the U.S. soliciting money from “Christians and Jews” to help relieve the suffering.
There have recently been allegations of fraud regarding the millions of dollars that have been raised by Christian groups in the United States.

Because Israeli companies are well wired into political and financial power brokers in Washington and New York, they inevitably have had insider help applying early and obtaining immediate approvals for loans that struggling American small businesses will not receive.
Reportedly 1,000 Jewish and Israel linked groups have already received $500 million but then proceeded to lay off employees anyway after they received their money. There has been, of course, no reciprocity of tax breaks or loans for U.S. companies operating in Israel.

by Alex Samuels/Texas Tribune
Eighty-five infants who are under the age of 1 have tested positive for the coronavirus in Nueces County since testing began there in March, county officials confirmed this weekend.
The county, which includes Corpus Christi, has become emblematic of the recent surge of coronavirus cases in the state. When the pandemic first started ravaging the state, Nueces County stayed relatively healthy while the Amarillo region suffered.
Now, however, the beachfront location has one of the fastest-growing outbreaks in the state, adding well over 2,000 new cases for each of the past two weeks. In all, 8,407 people have tested positive for the coronavirus since mid-March. Children under the age of 1 represent about 1% of those positive cases. But the Nueces County number underscores that young people can be affected by the disease, though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health experts report that the risk of severe illness increases with age. One child under 1 has died in Nueces County after contracting the virus, but county officials say the child was “brought to the hospital with unrelated symptoms and tested for COVID-19 while at the hospital.” The child later died at home, and an autopsy is being conducted to determine the cause of death.

veteranstoday--2020-07-20--Trump Ordered Killing: Son of federal judge murdered in Trump/Epstein/Deutsche Bank Cover-up

VT : Our sources say this is a Mossad hit on a Federal Judge who could put the entire Trump family behind bars .
There is no doubt , follow the Twitter Storm , all the media has it , this is a Trump ordered murder and a botched Mossad hit .
Federal judge ’ s son , 20 , is shot dead and her criminal defense attorney husband is critically injured after a gunman disguised as a FedEx driver ambushed their home – four days after she was assigned a case linked to Jeffrey Epstein UK Daily Mail : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a federal judge ’ s son was shot dead and was her husband critically wounded in their North Brunswick , New Jersey home .
The suspect dressed as a delivery driver rang the doorbell and broke into the home of Esther Salas , an Obama-appointed District Court judge , on Sunday night .
Daniel Anderl , the judge ’ s 20-year-old son ( not pictured ) , was killed .
Her husband Mark Anderl , 63 , is reportedly in critical but stable condition in hospital .
After defaulting on multiple loans and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terrible credit risk and could not get loans for new projects in the late 1990s .
Then up stepped Deutsche Bank , which financed Trump to the tune of $ 2 billion .
Now Deutsche Bank is facing billions of dollars in fines for laundering Russian money .
Congress wants to get documents from the bank to investigate the connections , for obvious reasons , and the Supreme Court will rule soon on whether they get access to them .
Deutsche Bank lent Trump millions after he defaulted on loans they already gave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2008 .
Known derisively as a “ global laundromat , ” the bank is facing U.S. and British legal actions over its role in a $ 20 billion Russian money-laundering scheme .
Two Congressional committees want the bank to release 10-plus years of records involving Trump and his three oldest children as Congress probes Russian money laundering and possible foreign influence involving Trump .
White House lawyers have fought the committees tenaciously .
It ’ s hoped that the Supreme Court ’ s verdict will end years-long efforts on the part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s finances .
Especially at issue is whether Russians interfered in the 2016 election and if that meddling was powered by Russian money funneled to Trump through the giant , scandal-ridden German bank .
This all went through a woman named Rosemary T. Vrablic , the managing director of private wealth lending for Deutsche Bank .
Ivanka Trump put her in touch with her father and the money began to flow .
Jared Kushner and his family had also had a long relationship with Vrablic and borrowed money through her .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ were suspect and they were sent to federal regulators , but no action was taken .
Hopefully the Supreme Court will allow House investigators to enforce their subpoenas and get the documents necessary to do a real investigation .
It looks like the bank laundered a huge amount of Russian money and turned it into loans to Trump .
Judge Salas was in her basement and was unharmed in the attack , which is thought to happened around 5pm on Sunday .
Salas has sat a judge on the U.S. District Court for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years and was the first Hispanic woman to serve on the federal bench in the state .
She served as a public defender and federal magistrate before President Barack Obama nominated her to serve as a District Court Judge in 2010 .
She has presided over a several high-profile trials during her tenure , including the trial of former Real Housewife Teresa Giudice in a case regarding financial fraud .
Four days ago , she was assigned to preside over a case involving investors suing Deutsche Bank over their ties to pedophile Jeffrey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in cases involving gangs and is believed to have received threats in the past .

VT: Our sources say this is a Mossad hit on a Federal Judge who could put the entire Trump family behind bars. There is no doubt, follow the Twitter Storm, all the media has it, this is a Trump ordered murder and a botched Mossad hit.
Trump has a half billion in loans coming due. They may be his biggest conflict of interest yet. https://t.co/c1vcUU9ETy via @MotherJones

It’s hoped that the Supreme Court’s verdict will end years-long efforts on the part of U.S. officials to glean the truth about Trump’s finances. Especially at issue is whether Russians interfered in the 2016 election and if that meddling was powered by Russian money funneled to Trump through the giant, scandal-ridden German bank.
This all went through a woman named Rosemary T. Vrablic, the managing director of private wealth lending for Deutsche Bank. Ivanka Trump put her in touch with her father and the money began to flow. Jared Kushner and his family had also had a long relationship with Vrablic and borrowed money through her. Deutsche Bank watchdogs flagged several transactions that were suspect and they were sent to federal regulators, but no action was taken. Hopefully the Supreme Court will allow House investigators to enforce their subpoenas and get the documents necessary to do a real investigation. It looks like the bank laundered a huge amount of Russian money and turned it into loans to Trump.
Judge Salas was in her basement and was unharmed in the attack, which is thought to happened around 5pm on Sunday. Salas has sat a judge on the U.S. District Court for New Jersey in Newark, for nine years and was the first Hispanic woman to serve on the federal bench in the state. She served as a public defender and federal magistrate before President Barack Obama nominated her to serve as a District Court Judge in 2010.

California Governor Gavin Noisome has ordered a statewide mandatory blindfolding policy to help slow the spread of coronavirus. Noisome’s Executive Odor 666-666 requires all citizens to wear blindfolds as well as masks whenever they leave their homes, and revokes all health and religious exemptions from masking and blindfolding.
“Studies show that when you blink, your eyelashes scatter tiny droplets of moisture into the atmosphere, potentially contributing to the spread of COVID-19,” Noisome explained at this morning’s press conference. “The best way to stop these moisture droplets is at the source, by wearing a cloth blindfold over your eyes. If all of us join together and blindfold ourselves, we can get through this thing together without ever seeing what’s really going on and without having to look at each other’s fear-stricken faces.”
Noisome said that mandatory blindfolding, like mandatory masking, not only slows the spread of COVID, but also offers economic benefits. “Cottage industries are already springing up, as enterprising Californians turn ordinary pieces of cloth into blindfolds and sell them on the internet,” the governor enthused. “And while it’s true that the Amazon delivery drivers will take longer than usual to deliver the blindfolds to your doorstep, since those drivers will themselves be blindfolded, the bright side is that Amazon will have to hire more drivers, which is good for the economy. Since paying all those blindfolded drivers will cost Amazon a pretty penny, we expect that Jeff Bezos will put billions of dollars into accelerating the development of self-driving vehicles, which will ultimately solve the whole COVID problem by making humans obsolete.”
Responding to civil libertarians’ concerns about heavy-handed enforcement of the masks-and-blindfolds policy, Noisome said police won’t be arresting or shooting scofflaws, at least not in large numbers, because the police themselves will be blindfolded. “We expect police shootings to go way down,” he explained. “And since the police won’t be able to see the skin color of the people they shoot at, nor aim with any precision, the disproportionate killings of black people will finally end, fulfilling the demands of protestors and turning the page on a sorry episode in our history.” Noisome said mandatory blindfolding would also obviate the need to remove statues of politically-incorrect historical figures. “If nobody can see the statues, why bother to smash or remove them?” he asked rhetorically. “It’s actually cheaper in the long run to blindfold the population instead of having to pay for statue removal.” The governor added that if mandatory masks and blindfolds don’t stop the spread of COVID, he would consider issuing another executive order requiring people to wear earplugs to stop the virus from riding into the body on soundwaves. He added in light of scientific studies showing that COVID can be spread by flatulence, the state might also have to require people to “put a cork in it.”

veteranstoday--2020-07-21--Blockbuster: How the USA became a Babylonian Slave State (as described at Fink’s Bar)

Benjamin Fulford has been affiliated with VT for 12 years now .
I first met him when asked to call him by a good friend who was at time director of the XYZ .
He warned me that “ Fulford is off the reservation.
” Good for Ben !
As an aside , take a look at this screen grab from Russia Today , no longer freedom loving and edgy , now more OAN/Trumptard/Klan : We all need to be “ off the reservation.
” This reminds me , I just rescreened “ Thunderheart ” with Val Kilmer .
Strongly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Please do so .
At Finks Bar , a talk recorded by US Army intelligence inside Israel , then commanded by VT editor , Colonel James Hanke , a talk between VT editor Jeff Smith and his good friend Benjamin Netanyahu ( who lived next door to Hanke ) , the Trump presidency was described .
Donald Trump has one job , to destroy the United States .
He has done a marvelous job , so much better than his handler , Bibi , would have ever hoped for .
My battle against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where over a 30-year career as a frontline journalist , I watched as Prime Minister after Prime Minister was murdered and a successful economic system was dismantled .
When I started reporting in Japan in 1985 , it had the highest per capita income in the world and the lowest gap between the rich and poor in any developed nation .
This was the result of decades of double-digit economic growth : the so-called Japanese miracle .
Now , Japan is ruled by Khazarian gangster hedge funds and their slaves .
The country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rich and poor in the OECD ( after the U.S. ) and the average Japanese barely scrapes along .
It was anger at what had been done to the Japanese that set me out on the path to liberate this country by trying to convince them to stop paying tribute to their enslavers .
This was personal , because many Japanese journalists , central bankers , and politicians I knew and respected had been murdered by these people .
I found this out from Japanese Yakuza bosses who told me they were sub-contractors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secret societies agreed to help liberate Japan and the rest of the world from Khazarian rule , then all sorts of people from all sorts of secret societies came out of hiding to talk with us .
One particularly influential source was a Senior British agent , Dr. Michael Van de Meer , AKA Michael Meiring .
He gave me some reading assignments so I would know exactly what I was dealing with .
Van de Meer had been fighting the Khazarians for decades and paid a steep price .
He had both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bomb set , according to him , by agents of George Bush Sr. and David Rockefeller .
The information he provided made me realize what I witnessed first-hand in Japan was a gradual process of enslavement that was already completed in the United States .
These were the people who murdered Abraham Lincoln , John F , Kennedy , Martin Luther King , and many others .
It is interesting to note that even though official documents about the Kennedy assassination were released with great anticipation , not a single media outlet reporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion .
Ben Gurion , in turn , was taking his orders from the Khazarian mob as part of their plan to murder 90 % of humanity and enslave the rest in order to rule the world from Jerusalem .
Before we go into key quotes from these reading materials , let me explain why they are wrong when they blame the problem on Jews because these people only call themselves Jews , they are in reality Satan worshippers .
My own family is Jewish .
My mother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ horse rock or horse mountain .
They were the female descendants of Khazarian horsemen defeated by the Russians and the Mongols .
My grandmother was so afraid of being identified as a Jew that she carried a document stating she had been baptized as an Anglican .
My father ’ s mother was also Jewish , and she did not tell this to my father until she was on her deathbed .
My father likewise did not tell me until he was dying .
They were very afraid of something , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had escaped from their slavery and were reluctant to return to it and that is why they kept their ancestry secret even from their closest relatives .
Most religious Jews are still their slaves .
If you study real Babylonian history you will learn that circumcision was ritual castration to identify males of defeated tribes as slaves .
In any case , my Anglo Saxon male ancestors were the descendants of the undefeated warrior kings of planet Earth , and we were not about the let the womenfolk of a defeated tribe tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not circumcised or enslaved .
The other thing to know is that we live by the golden rule : “ Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
” We were moral not because we were afraid of hell or tempted by promised bribes of heaven , but because it was in our self-interest to be moral .
You don ’ t steal or murder so that you can live in a society where you do not yourself get robbed or murdered .
We were not Christian because Jesus Christ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ murderers were still in power .
Also , we could not believe a just God would allow so much misery and suffering on Earth .
So we were atheists , the most persecuted type of Jew there was .
Personally , I know that we did not create ourselves so there must be a creator .
In order to respect the creator , you must respect the creation , in other words , respect other people and all living things .
In any case , let us now quote three key insiders about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proviso they are talking about the Synagogue of Satan and not true Jews .
Let us start with a warning from founding father Benjamin Franklin : “ I fully agree with General Washington , that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and penetration .
The menace , gentlemen , is the Jews .
In whatever country Jews have settled in any great numbers , they have lowered its moral tone ; depreciated its commercial integrity ; have segregated themselves and have not assimilated ; have sneered at and tried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that nation is founded by objecting to its restrictions ; have built up a state within a state ; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially , as in the case of Spain and Portugal .
If you do not exclude them from these United States , in this Constitution in less than 200 years they will have swarmed in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land , and change our form of government , for which we Americans have shed our blood , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jeopardized our liberty .
If you do not exclude them , in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them sustenance , while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands .
I warn you , Gentlemen , if you do not exclude the Jews for all time , your children will curse you in your graves.
” Franklin was so right .
We confirm this now with an exact quote from Harold Wallace Rosenthal , former top administrative aide to former Senator Jacob @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like to admit it , but our God is Lucifer.
” Rosenthal , who was later murdered for revealing so much also said : “ We Jews have put issue upon issue to the American people .
Then we promote both sides of the issue as confusion reigns .
With their eyes fixed on the issues , they fail to see who is behind every scene .
We Jews toy with the American public as a cat toys with a mouse… The blood of the masses will flow as we wait for our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more important than morality .
We can accomplish anything with money .
Our power has been created through the manipulation of the national monetary system .
We authored the quotation .
‘ Money is power.
’ As revealed in our master plan , it was essential for us to establish a private national bank .
The Federal Reserve System fitted our plan nicely since it is owned by us , but the name implies that it is a government institution .
From the very outset , our purpose was to confiscate all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worthless non-redeemable paper notes .
We acquired total monopoly of the movie industry , the radio networks , and the newly developing television media .
The printing industry , newspapers , periodicals , and technical journals had already fallen into our hands .
The richest plum was later to come when we took over the publication of all school materials .
Through these vehicles , we could mold public opinion to suit our own purposes .
The people are only stupid pigs that grunt and squeal the chants we give them , whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full text of the interview can be read here : https : //archive.org/stream/ericsproat_gmail_Rosy/rosy_djvu.txt Next , we have the warning from high-level Zionist insider Benjamin Freedman ( who was a man freed from Khazariaion=Zionist slavery ) .
“ The Zionists and their co-religionists rule this United States as though they were the absolute monarchs of this country .
[ Zionists ] told England : ‘ We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally , to fight with you on your side if you will promise us Palestine after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what do we face now ?
If we trigger a world war that may develop into a nuclear war , humanity is finished .
And why will it take place ?
It will take place because of Act III .
.
.
the curtain goes up on Act III .
Act I was World War I .
Act II was World War II .
Act III is going to be World War III .
The Jews of the world , the Zionists and their co-religionists everywhere are determined that they are going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them permanently retain Palestine as their foothold for their world government .
How can the United States — about five percent of the world — go out and fight eighty to ninety percent of the world on their home ground ?
How can we do it… send our boys over there to be slaughtered ?
For what ?

Introduction
Benjamin Fulford has been affiliated with VT for 12 years now. I first met him when asked to call him by a good friend who was at time director of the XYZ. He warned me that “Fulford is off the reservation.” Good for Ben!
As an aside, take a look at this screen grab from Russia Today, no longer freedom loving and edgy, now more OAN/Trumptard/Klan:
We all need to be “off the reservation.” This reminds me, I just rescreened “Thunderheart” with Val Kilmer. Strongly suggest all watch this one again. Please do so.
At Finks Bar, a talk recorded by US Army intelligence inside Israel, then commanded by VT editor, Colonel James Hanke, a talk between VT editor Jeff Smith and his good friend Benjamin Netanyahu (who lived next door to Hanke), the Trump presidency was described.
Donald Trump has one job, to destroy the United States. He has done a marvelous job, so much better than his handler, Bibi, would have ever hoped for.

My battle against the Khazarian mafia started in Japan, where over a 30-year career as a frontline journalist, I watched as Prime Minister after Prime Minister was murdered and a successful economic system was dismantled. When I started reporting in Japan in 1985, it had the highest per capita income in the world and the lowest gap between the rich and poor in any developed nation. This was the result of decades of double-digit economic growth: the so-called Japanese miracle. Now, Japan is ruled by Khazarian gangster hedge funds and their slaves. The country now has the second-biggest gap between the rich and poor in the OECD (after the U.S.) and the average Japanese barely scrapes along.
It was anger at what had been done to the Japanese that set me out on the path to liberate this country by trying to convince them to stop paying tribute to their enslavers. This was personal, because many Japanese journalists, central bankers, and politicians I knew and respected had been murdered by these people. I found this out from Japanese Yakuza bosses who told me they were sub-contractors to the Khazarian mob.
When Asian secret societies agreed to help liberate Japan and the rest of the world from Khazarian rule, then all sorts of people from all sorts of secret societies came out of hiding to talk with us.
One particularly influential source was a Senior British agent, Dr. Michael Van de Meer, AKA Michael Meiring. He gave me some reading assignments so I would know exactly what I was dealing with. Van de Meer had been fighting the Khazarians for decades and paid a steep price. He had both of his legs blown off by a bomb set, according to him, by agents of George Bush Sr. and David Rockefeller.
The information he provided made me realize what I witnessed first-hand in Japan was a gradual process of enslavement that was already completed in the United States. These were the people who murdered Abraham Lincoln, John F, Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and many others.
It is interesting to note that even though official documents about the Kennedy assassination were released with great anticipation, not a single media outlet reporting that his murder was ordered by…
then Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion. Ben Gurion, in turn, was taking his orders from the Khazarian mob as part of their plan to murder 90% of humanity and enslave the rest in order to rule the world from Jerusalem.
Before we go into key quotes from these reading materials, let me explain why they are wrong when they blame the problem on Jews because these people only call themselves Jews, they are in reality Satan worshippers.
My own family is Jewish. My mother’s family was originally Horstein meaning horse rock or horse mountain. They were the female descendants of Khazarian horsemen defeated by the Russians and the Mongols. My grandmother was so afraid of being identified as a Jew that she carried a document stating she had been baptized as an Anglican. My father’s mother was also Jewish, and she did not tell this to my father until she was on her deathbed. My father likewise did not tell me until he was dying.
They were very afraid of something, and that something was the Khazarian Satanists. They had escaped from their slavery and were reluctant to return to it and that is why they kept their ancestry secret even from their closest relatives. Most religious Jews are still their slaves. If you study real Babylonian history you will learn that circumcision was ritual castration to identify males of defeated tribes as slaves.
In any case, my Anglo Saxon male ancestors were the descendants of the undefeated warrior kings of planet Earth, and we were not about the let the womenfolk of a defeated tribe tell us what to do. We were not circumcised or enslaved.
The other thing to know is that we live by the golden rule: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” We were moral not because we were afraid of hell or tempted by promised bribes of heaven, but because it was in our self-interest to be moral. You don’t steal or murder so that you can live in a society where you do not yourself get robbed or murdered.
We were not Christian because Jesus Christ had been tortured to death and his murderers were still in power. Also, we could not believe a just God would allow so much misery and suffering on Earth. So we were atheists, the most persecuted type of Jew there was.
Personally, I know that we did not create ourselves so there must be a creator. In order to respect the creator, you must respect the creation, in other words, respect other people and all living things.
In any case, let us now quote three key insiders about the “Jews,” with the proviso they are talking about the Synagogue of Satan and not true Jews.
Let us start with a warning from founding father Benjamin Franklin:
“I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and penetration. The menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great numbers, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation is founded by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within a state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal.
If you do not exclude them from these United States, in this Constitution in less than 200 years they will have swarmed in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land, and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives, our substance and jeopardized our liberty.
If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them sustenance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, Gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves.”
Franklin was so right. We confirm this now with an exact quote from Harold Wallace Rosenthal, former top administrative aide to former Senator Jacob Javits:
“Most Jews do not like to admit it, but our God is Lucifer.”
Rosenthal, who was later murdered for revealing so much also said:
“We Jews have put issue upon issue to the American people. Then we promote both sides of the issue as confusion reigns. With their eyes fixed on the issues, they fail to see who is behind every scene. We Jews toy with the American public as a cat toys with a mouse…
The blood of the masses will flow as we wait for our day of world victory. Money is more important than morality. We can accomplish anything with money. Our power has been created through the manipulation of the national monetary system. We authored the quotation. ‘Money is power.’ As revealed in our master plan, it was essential for us to establish a private national bank. The Federal Reserve System fitted our plan nicely since it is owned by us, but the name implies that it is a government institution. From the very outset, our purpose was to confiscate all the gold and silver, replacing them with worthless non-redeemable paper notes.
We acquired total monopoly of the movie industry, the radio networks, and the newly developing television media. The printing industry, newspapers, periodicals, and technical journals had already fallen into our hands. The richest plum was later to come when we took over the publication of all school materials. Through these vehicles, we could mold public opinion to suit our own purposes. The people are only stupid pigs that grunt and squeal the chants we give them, whether they be truth or lies.”

Next, we have the warning from high-level Zionist insider Benjamin Freedman (who was a man freed from Khazariaion=Zionist slavery).
“The Zionists and their co-religionists rule this United States as though they were the absolute monarchs of this country. [Zionists] told England: ‘We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side if you will promise us Palestine after you win the war.’
So, what do we face now? If we trigger a world war that may develop into a nuclear war, humanity is finished. And why will it take place? It will take place because of Act III. . . the curtain goes up on Act III. Act I was World War I. Act II was World War II. Act III is going to be World War III. The Jews of the world, the Zionists and their co-religionists everywhere are determined that they are going to again use the United States to help them permanently retain Palestine as their foothold for their world government.
How can the United States — about five percent of the world — go out and fight eighty to ninety percent of the world on their home ground? How can we do it… send our boys over there to be slaughtered? For what? So the Jews can have Palestine as their ‘commonwealth’? They’ve fooled you so much that you don’t know whether you’re coming or going. I don’t call them Jews. I refer to them as so-called Jews, because I know what they are [Satanists]..
Ok so now the United States is in a desperate battle to liberate itself after having been slowly enslaved over the past 200 or so years. The process is well underway. A large part of the Khazarian mafia leadership in the U.S. has been killed or arrested. However, Japanese military intelligence estimates about 1 million Khazarian mafia rule the United States. They pretend to be Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc. but they worship Satan. Right now they are fighting for their lives. Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists involved in rioting and sabotage are Khazarian agents or their dupes, according to NSA sources. For example, a Pew analysis shows that only one out of six so-called black lives matter activists is an African American. In other words, they are Khazarian agents. You can say the same about Antifa.

These people need to be neutralized if the United States is to free itself from the system of Babylonian debt slavery controlled by Khazarian Satanists.
Next week we will continue with a look at who is fighting against them and how not just the United States but the entire world can be liberated from this horror.
The key strongholds to be taken are the corporate media, the “pharmacidical” industry, the high tech monopolies, the mega-banks, the Washington political elite, the health bureaucracy, and many of the energy companies.
