      From: jesus475073@webtv.net              Re: Can The U.S. Beat Israel At Their Game? (Must Read) Group:       news:alt.discuss.politics Date: Mon, Apr 26, 2010, 1:47pm (EDT-1) From:       Eastopeckalye@webtv.net (Eastoe Peckalye)              Can The U.S. Beat Israel At Their Game? By Jeff Gates        .        April 26, 2010 "Information Clearing House" -- Americans can now see the       light at the end of a long dark tunnel - if only they will look. We       entered this tunnel in 1948 when an enclave of religious fanatics       induced President Harry Truman to portray them as a 'state' meriting       recognition, aid and protection.               We were warned not to do so. .        .        These extremists had just inflicted on the Palestinians an ethnic       cleansing that rivaled in its savagery the fascist abuse of ethnic       groups during WWII. In December 1948, Albert Einstein and 27 other       concerned Jews urged us "not to support this latest manifestation of       fascism."        .        Our failure to heed that warning led to the current morass in which we       find ourselves.        .        Einstein and his colleagues foresaw that a "Leader State" was the goal       of the "terrorist party" that has led Israel over all but a few of the       62 years since Truman's fateful decision.               The latest Likud Party coalition ranks among the worst in the       consistency of its duplicity and the blatant manipulation of its loyal       ally, the American people. By our unbreakable bond with this abusive       enclave, the U.S. appears guilty by association, making us a target of       those abused. .               From the outset, deceit was the foundation on which this ill-fated       alliance was built. To betray, one must befriend. To defraud, one must       first create a relationship of trust. Therein lies the basis of the       "special relationship" through which Tel Aviv pursued, though us, its       expansionist agenda.               To deceive in plain sight requires a capacity for what national security       specialists know as game theory. In 2005, Israeli mathematician and game       theory specialist Robert J. Aumann received the Nobel Prize in Economic       Science. Co-founder of the Center for Rationality at Hebrew University,       this Jerusalem resident candidly concedes 'the entire school of thought       that we have developed here in Israel' has turned 'Israel into the       leading authority in this field.' He's correct.               Israeli strategists deploy mathematical models to anticipate reactions       to staged provocations and manipulated crises. By applying game theory       algorithms, those reactions (and reactions to those reactions), behavior       becomes foreseeable - within an acceptable range of probabilities.               While the future is never certain, the effects of a well-planned       provocation become 'probabilistic.' This blend of duplicity and game       theory expertise makes Israel a perilous partner and an outright       imposter when portrayed as a credible partner for peace in the Middle       East.               For game theory war-planners, peace is not the point. For the agent       provocateur in pursuit of an undisclosed agenda, the anticipated       reaction is the goal. Aumann practices his craft not at the Center for       Morality, Justice or Fairness but at the Center for Rationality. Peace       would preclude the expansion of Greater Israel, an irrational outcome to       be avoided - at any cost.               Waging War by Way of Deception .               From a game theory perspective, Palestinian abuse has little to do with       the Palestinians. From the Israeli point of view, their mistreatment is       all about how best to provoke reactions that can be foreseen - within a       acceptable range of probabilities. For those who view themselves as       Chosen and above the law, such abuse is their God-given right. To behave       otherwise would be irrational.               Well-planned provocations have long been Tel Aviv's core competence. For       a skilled agent provocateur, an anticipated reaction can become a       powerful weapon in the arsenal of the provocateur. In response to a mass       murder on American soil, even a moderately competent game theorist could       foresee that the U.S. would dispatch its military to avenge that attack.               With phony intelligence 'fixed' around a preset goal, a game-theory       algorithm could predict that our military could be redirected to invade       Iraq, a nation that played no role in the attack. Therein lies the game       theory-enabled treachery imbedded at the core of this duplicitous       relationship. .               Happily, our national security apparatus now comprehends the 'how' of       this non-transparent treason. Concern at its common source is rampant in       senior military ranks. Israel and pro-Israelis have been confirmed as       those who fixed the intelligence that took us to war on false pretenses.               Those 'in the know' now grasp that Truman's recognition of this enclave       was part of a multi-decade fraud that remains ongoing as Israel seeks to       induce us into Iran and even Pakistan.         .        .        No one likes to be played for the fool. Yet that's how Israel treated       all those it befriended. That includes not only other nations but also       those in the broader faith communities deceived to believe they share an       identity of interest with this "latest manifestation of fascism."               Intelligence agencies are fast coming to recognize the shared mindset of       those who prey on the goodwill and trust of others. Their distrust of       the U.S. is now morphing into sympathy and pity.                Misplaced Sympathy .               Those adept at marketing serial Evil Doers are the agent provocateur       source of the very terror from which they claim a need for protection.               What now needs protection are those who continue to believe 'despite the       facts' that this "state" is owed the status granted to other nations.               Light is now seeping into the geopolitical crevices where this deception              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
