be the reason we segued so seamlessly from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism? (See: How Israel Wages War on the U.S.)Instead of the anticipated post-Cold War "peace dividend, the U.S. finds itself waging what Nobel economist Joe Stiglitz calls The $3 Trillion War-all of it borrowed, including $700 billion in interest expense.In hindsight, the phony intelligence that induced us to war in the Middle East was traceable to Israelis, pro-Israelis or assets developed for that purpose such as Iraqi liar Ahmad Chalabi.Other than those sharing a Zionist mental state, who had the means, motive, opportunity and, importantly, the stable nation-state intelligence to conduct such operations inside the U.S.?Yet even now those responsible elude accountability and even scrutiny as cries of "anti-Semitism" are deployed to intimidate and misdirect-by manipulating thought and emotion.At the end of World War II, the U.S. claimed 50% of the world's productive power, ensuring we would have the world's top-rated government bonds for at least two generations. When the Cold War drew to a costly close in 1989, the U.S. had spent $15.9 trillion on defense since 1948 (in 2010 dollars). Now a potential war without end has taken its place.Americans have been induced to believe that the Zionist state is an ally. We are not alone in viewing Israel as a legitimate nation and a noble experiment to provide a "homeland" for a victimized people. That alluring storyline victimized the broader Jewish community while also laying waste to the nation that was first deceived to extend to Zionists the hand of friendship.To escape the ravages of Zionism requires that we concede its duplicitous nature and make its operations transparent so that its perpetrators become apparent. As a long-deceived global public grasps its costs in blood and treasure, this mental state will be seen for what it is: a criminal state.The Psychopath WithinIn the clinical psychiatric literature, this "state" features interpersonal traits such as superficial charm, pathological lying, egocentricity, lack of remorse, and callousness that are regarded as characteristic of psychopaths. In order to betray, psychopaths first befriend. In order to defraud, they first establish a relationship of trust. Sound familiar?Those who share such a mental state will happily incite hatred to catalyze a reaction and then claim they are the victims of hate. For those inhabiting this mental state, it appears rational and even desirable to provoke a response and then claim to be a target of anti-Semites. Inside this internal state, self-absorption is all-encompassing with arrogance its most visible trait.Law is irrelevant to those who consider themselves above the law. Morality and conscience are of no concern to those who consider themselves The Chosen-by a god of their own choosing. Such a nationalist ideology has no place in a system nation states dedicated to the rule of law.Those sharing such a "state" pose too great a peril to be an object of pity or compassion. Accountability is the only appropriate response along with an initiative-deploying force as required-to secure any weapons of mass destruction that may be in their possession.Such a state cannot be
