When President Trump on 6 December 2017 declared unilaterally Jerusalem as the capital of Israel to where the US Embassy shall relocate, he violated UN Resolutions, international law, common sense and went against all diplomatic efforts to eventually bring peace to the region, not to speak about 130 countries that have already voiced opposition to such a decision. And this, before the Peace Process is coming to an end, at which point the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords would play out. They are also called the Road Map for Peace, between Palestine and Israel, which foresees a two-state solution and accordingly a mutual decision on Jerusalem becoming the capital city for both Palestine and Israel. These Oslo Peace Accords are still valid today.
But Mr. Trump may not have a clue that such a Peace Accord even exists. And his handlers obviously had no interest of telling him. – And even if they did, it would make no difference, because the exceptional nation has no scruples demolishing any agreements of the past, regardless whether or not it – the US of A – were party to the shaping of them. – See also the Iranian Nuclear Deal.
By the same token, Washington does not give a hoot about international law and UN Resolutions. We are talking about the only and perfect rogue state the world has known in the past two centuries, by far surpassing, actually without any comparison with the western customarily accused villains, like Zimbabwe, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba — and all those that refuse to bend to the Chief-Rogue-State, the United States of America.
In fact, what Trump has done, was just confirming what previous US Administrations had already as an objective, namely following the so-called „Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995“, with which the US Congress already 20 years ago, requested and prepared this step by legislation that says, “Since 1950, Jerusalem is the Capital of the State of Israel…”. Never mind and, of course not reported by the mainstream media, that immediately after promising the US Embassy would be moved to Jerusalem, Trump signed a ‘waiver’ postponing the move indefinitely, or until the international situation becomes ‘clear(er)’. – Who does the US Congress think they are – God the Almighty? To decide over the “Holy City”, Jerusalem, the historic center of the three-religion monotheist culture of 5,000 years of Judo-Christianism, also incorporating Islam, is an act of arrogance without comparison.
This insensitive Trump decision or affirmation at this point in time – another one in his basket of disasters – brought everything else but peace to the region, and especially to Palestine. It caused unrest, angry demonstrations from people who are basically fighting with their bare hands; protests which were immediately oppressed with firepower and violence by the Israeli military and police force, killing people in the Israel imposed ghetto of Gaza and the West Bank – i.e. in Palestine, what should become an independent state.
Instead of bringing peace, Trump killed the aspiration of peace, he de facto killed the notion of a two-state solution – and he effectively isolated the US from literally the rest of the world. Was this a bold provocation inspired by Trump’s Zionist masters, a trial balloon to find out how much of impunity the world would tolerate?
At no time was even mentioned that Jerusalem, if anything, might also be the capital of Palestine. The Motherland of Israel, let’s not forget, Palestine, was ignored. Palestine was provoked into protests, just to be brutally suffocated by the Israeli defense Forces (IDF). They do this with sadistic pleasure, like killing helpless flies. All this prompted by the criminal and irresponsible behavior of the President of the United States, the exceptional Nation – or rather his invisible handlers behind the throne.
But the propaganda mantra must go on – the lie that declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel was good for the Middle East, was good for peace, was and still is repeated over and over again, like a mantra, tras-mantra, tras-mantra – by Trump and his mannequins, his foreign affair puppets, Rex Tillerson and Nikki Haley, who is masquerading as Washington’s UN Ambassador, repeating over and over again, the same lie, the same lie, the same lie, in the hope, as the common saying goes after Goebbels, Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, if repeated enough, the lie becomes the truth. Do these clowns really believe that if a world renown repeat-liar keeps repeat-lying the globes populace believes that the repeat-lie becomes the truth?
The people at large have moved forward towards awakening since the horrendous murderous lies about Iraq with weapons of mass destruction that weren’t; about Gaddafi horrors committed to his people, which he didn’t, to the contrary, he provided them with free education, health services and cutting edge medical facilities, with free infrastructure and a broad social safety net; or UN-proven lies about Bashar Al-Assad’s poison gas used against his own people; the lies about Iran’s nuclear program that never was; the lies about Russia’s meddling in Ukraine, when it is now amply proven that the Maidan massacre was planned and carried out via the US Embassy in Kiev and through US and NATO military and paid mercenaries; the lies about the US and NATO fighting against ISIS which Washington created – and the list of lies go on – endlessly.
The entire vassal state of the European Union, country after country – led by the three “Ms”, Germany’s Merkel, France’s Macron, and the UK’s May – have said they would not go along with Trump’s decision and moving their Embassies to Jerusalem. Bravo! – Will this decision last, or will there be some high-power arm-twisting by Washington? – Is Washington still able to do arm-twisting, economic sanctions? Haven’t they noticed yet, that the west, even the hitherto puppet West, is gradually but surely moving away from the Atlantic Alliance towards the East. Probably for purely selfish economic and financial reasons, though some western politicians may look deeper and see the light, what I call, the Future is in the East.
What is also mazing though, is that nobody seems to even question the basics – the right of the self-styled emperor Trump, the typical emperor without cloths – intervening with the decision of another nation’s capital city. Of course, we know that Trump’s buddy and family friend, Bibi Netanyahu, holds and / or twists arms (smilingly) with the Donald on Jerusalem through the infamous family relations of the two warrying aggressors and through the seemingly unbeatable Zion-power the western world is being subjected to.
Trump, with this unwise decision, may have brought Jerusalem back to the 12th Century, the ages of the Crusades, when in 1187, on behalf of the Muslim Ayyubids Dynasty, Sultan Saladin, a Sunni Muslim, of Kurdish origins, besieged and eventually re-conquered the so-called Christian Kingdom of Heaven, invaded and stolen by the ‘Christian’ emperors of Rome two-hundred years earlier.
Perhaps Mr. Trump nilly-willy has started a new Arab Crusade against the artificially imposed Kingdom of Israel, artificially implanted in the land of Palestine, implanted by the Zionists who used the power of the British Empire which at that time was colonizing Palestine, to corrupt the freshly created UN system in 1948 to cut up and destroy Palestine – see the Balfour Declaration, below. 
The British Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, wrote on 2nd November 1917, hundred years ago, to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, suggesting the carving up of Palestine the creation of a State of Israel. The ‘proposal’ was to be transmitted to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. Lord Rothschild was co-drafter of the letter. The text of the declaration was made official by publication in the media on 9 November 1917.
The idea was eventually carried out by a UN Resolution in 1948, bringing about the State of Israel on 14 May 1948, the day Palestine became a non-country and enslaved to Israel.
Behind the Trump strategy lays a broader objective, the creation of aGreater Israel, that would stretch from the Euphrates to the Nile, cutting through Saudi Arabia, absorbing Jordan, a large portion of Syria and most of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. This is to make Israel a Middle Eastern super-power, sitting on a huge junk of the sub-continent’s energy wealth and on most of the Middle east’s fresh water reserves, on behalf of the Anglo-Zionist Empire.
It is yet to be seen whether this bold and aggressive move by Trump went a step too far; whether this impunity is the straw that may break the empire’s back.
What if nobody – not even the traditional allies – participates in this nefarious endeavor to move their embassies from Tel Avia to Jerusalem?
What if sanctions that Washington undoubtedly may dish out to those who do not obey its orders do no longer work?
What if this Trump lunacy opens the gates to the East even further for all those who have been fed-up with the empire’s financial-, bomb-and-rifle-, and propaganda-crusades to conquer the world; and that this Washington insanity leads them to a new healthier, promising and honest economic system striving towards equality – of which we know already the fundamental bedrock – the multi-trillion New Silk Road, President Xi’s One Belt Initiative?

Here is an interesting story which at first seems unrelated. But if you read between the lines you realize what sociopaths are capable of. The entire zionist project is based on theft and greed. But greed has a consequence – the consequence of destruction of self humanity.
It is this lack of humanity that will ultimately defeat the zionists. Unlike the axis of resistance which fights to liberate the world – the likes of the iof and their US vassals are monsters who are in constant fear of their own demise – capable only of killing the unarmed and from the safety of drone command centre.
As for the couple above – whether it was murder or suicide the fate was the same. They embody what the future holds for the zionist entity – death at the hands of the resistance or self destruction surrounded by the horror that is materialism.
And yet, the same “Jew Haters” who proliferate the ZH comments (and now mine) are typically the most “pro Trump”. It must be exhausting to somehow reconcile the cognitive dissonance. If they only knew who’s really behind what.
But who does? The world is a tangled web of compromise, and the global money system is trending multi-polar. Jews are just one interest group involved. Senior global wealth is multi-national in many ways.
On one level, I don’t care about Trump’s declaration. It’s mostly symbolic, and people being irrational creatures they view symbolism as more important than reality. It doesn’t alter the fact that Israel is no more likely to surrender an inch of its Holy City than the Muslims are to give up Mecca. But I certainly hope Mr. Koenig is right about this move hastening the end of the American Empire.
The whole point is it’s not Trump’s jurisdiction to declare Jerusalem as Isreal’s capital. NOT HIS BUSINESS
that’s exactly my thinking
First comment: The idea of the Balfour Declaration was not implemented through the resolution 181 of 1948 but through the mandate of Palestine from the league of nations, well before. Actually, the resolution 181 was a tentative to backpedal from what international law had already granted to the “jewish national home” which was initially supposed to include all of the current Israel, Gaza, West Bank and Jordan. Jordan was removed very early on. Then, from what was left, they tried to divide it. But General assembly votes are not binding in international law (at least not at the time) so the only way the partition plan would have become international law is if the arabs had accepted. Then, since both parties would have accepted, it would have become a treaty. But as we know, it was rejected. Of course, you can always curse those who created the mandate of palestine to create a jewish national home but in the end, that’s the real piece of international law the is the basis of the creation of the state of Israel and it’s claims on the territory west of the Jordan river.
Second Comment: Trump’s declaration is symbolic. It does not change much. Why does it takes years from the time of the declaration until the actual move when the US consulate in Jerusalem could be upgraded to an Embassy? These are just words for the moment.
By the way, the promised huge riots and violent clashes did not happen.
Totally agree. It’s none of his business and it’s none of any other countries business to decide if a specific city should of should not be a capital.
Even Ron Paul, said that a capital should be wherever a country states it is.
“Instead of bringing peace, Trump killed the aspiration of peace”
True enough, though it should be fairly obvious by now that no buggered US president is installed to bring about peace. “Pax Americana” is an oxymoron of an entirely different calibre than any other one.
Put bluntly, Trump just happened to arrive on the scene of World politics at precisely the right time to be honoured with the task of giving Zionism the ultimate bj. The envy felt by Hillary, Obama, Bush and the whole rest of the Pindo political establishment can readily be imagined.
“What if this Trump lunacy opens the gates to the East even further for all those who have been fed-up with the empire’s financial-, bomb-and-rifle-, and propaganda-crusades to conquer the world /…/ ?”
That’s exactly what Western imperialism helps to bring about by its limitless Zionist arrogance, further reinforced by.manifest degeneracy and plain senility. Its political and media celebrities don’t impress people anywhere with at least half a brain. On this basis, amusingly, Trump could actually well be perceived (and duly slandered) as a Russian agent provocateur, and that is quite likely what indeed will come his way if this is the proverbial straw that eventually turns out to break the Empire’s back.
The US is a Zionist puppet. The Zionists control the US Federal reserve and US foreign policy. The US decision to recognize Jerusalem as a capital of Israel is a Zionist decision, by which America has nothing to gain. The Zionists are using the US while it still has any power left. They also know that Americas power is coming to an end and that Israel’s independent position in the Middle East might be unattainable in the long run. The latest news on the Internet is that – apparently – Zionists are planning for Patagonia in Argentina to be the reserve Israel should the Israel in the Middle East collapse. I don’t know as yet how much of this is true, being classical disinformation, but it would not surprise me if it turned out to be true.
Patagonia is non sense.
Israel is a puppet of the US elites. If the US was a Zionist puppet, there would not have been the Oslo Accords. the Oslo accords are, from the mouth of Kissinger, one of the chief operating officers of the elite, a “temporary long term solution”. This expression shows quite well that the purpose has never been to have peace but to create a never ending problem that requires US interference in the Middle-East. If the americans had not forced this hoax peace process, we might have already a much more peaceful environment.
Also, if the US was Isreal’s puppet, there would not have been a Gaza withdrawal and there would not be any more talk whatsoever of any peace process. Also, there would be no “mowing the grass” in gaza but rather a real crushing once for all of Hamas. Also, in 2002 when there was the second intifada and the siege of the mukata, PLO and Fatah would have been destroyed once for all and replaced by local sheikhs like the scholar Mordekhai Kedar proposes.
There are several factions in the cartel that controls the US and one of them is certainly pro-Israel. But their first priority is securing their power via divide and conquer means.
By the way, that’s why some rightist in Israel are against bending and being US vassals as they clearly understand that in the last 25 years (and actually since the 73 US stab in the back before the yom kippur war that prevented mass mobilization), there where a bunch of big disadvantages with this alliance. Actually, the world has become much more anti-Israel since the US became our patron.
You could say then “how would they survive a minute in the Middle-East?”. Like they did before the US became their official patron. The old-fashioned way: with God’s help. Israel’s survival and thrive is against all odds (like jewish survival in exile). Just take one example among dozens: the 39 scuds that Irak sent on Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan during the Gulf war. 2 deaths by heart attack and suffocation while thousands of apartments were destroyed or damaged. It’s unbelievable.
Just read Deuteronomy 30:1-10 and you’ll understand why.
Here’s my take on it all:
“The OIC Summit in Istanbul saw its members agree to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine, implying that West Jerusalem exists and could potentially be the capital of Israel following its formal recognition, which is in essence exactly what Moscow proposed in April of this year and thus enables Russia to take the lead in seeking a two-state solution to the long-standing conflict.”
https://theduran.com/the-oic-declaration-enables-russia-to-lead-the-two-state-solution/
Hello, Andrew Korybko; question about US techniques: Is the recent US smoke and thunder about North Korea just a diversion, to distract attention away from all the efforts in places such as in Africa, that you have been writing about? That is, the various regime change efforts, to disrupt African-Chinese + Russian connectivity? Part of the disruption of the BRI. Since the Korean situation seems pretty well frozen, and the US can’t do anything about NK, but does like distractions, to distract stabilizing efforts of China and Russia, away from Africa. ???
The 2-state solution is dead, Andrew, any continuing reference to it is pie in the sky. The settlers will NEVER leave the West Bank anymore, it will be impossible to remove them, and they will NEVER agree to live under Palestinian authority.
There is only the 1-state solution, a truly democratic state with EQUAL rights for ALL its citizens. Anything short of that will permanently stamp Israel as the Apartheid state it has already been designated as by the UN report published in March this year.
I agree.
There is only the 1 state solution left. There is a real momentum for it as some Israel bashers believe it would be a trap for Israel, the PLO itself mentioned several times that it is considering it and more and more in the Israeli right agree with the idea as the demographic numbers are turning to Israel’s advantage.
So let’s give it a try.
Trump did as ordered. He is surrounded be neocons and generals, being nothing more than a puppet. The US has nothing to gain by this decision, but Israel everything. The Zionists in the US have once again used America for their purposes, while the US still has any power left, knowing perfectly well that political and economic power is moving towards the East. However, this decision will have limited value, as the rest of the international community is not bound by it, and its their attitude that counts. And yes, Peter Koenig is right about this decision pushing the rest of the world towards the East. It will be taken as proof that Washington has been reduced to the level of a neocon stooge, doing as told. That coup d’etat against Yanukovich in Kiev in 2014 no doubt made quite a number of people in Europe nervous. However, those sanctions against Russia, which also included European firms which were building the Nord Stream – 2 gas pipeline, were a shock, creating the impression that Washington has been reduced to the level of a mad Roman emperor, doing as it pleases. And yes, Europe is moving towards the East. This process cannot be stopped.
“When President Trump on 6 December 2017 declared unilaterally Jerusalem as the capital of Israel to where the US Embassy shall relocate, he violated UN Resolutions, international law, common sense and went against all diplomatic efforts to eventually bring peace to the region, not to speak about 130 countries that have already voiced opposition to such a decision”
That has to be the worst first line I have ever read – how many grammatical conventions can you break in one sentence?
My rule of thumb is, if the writer can’t construct a sentence [he] can’t construct an argument.
I believe he writes in German. Whether he or someone else translates it into English I don’t know. I know some German, and the “grammatical conventions” you speak of being violated seem to be due to the way German works.
There are people writing and commenting here from all over the world, and many of them are not native English speakers-writers. I for one (as a native English speaker) am glad they bother to accomodate English readers at all, and really don’t feel that nit-picking grammar is all that important here. The comment section is full of some very idiosyncratic English, and I love it. English can bend and stretch, and if it means that maybe you have to work a bit at understanding what’s being said, it’s worth it to hear from our friends around the world.
Again, feel fortunate that they even bother, because these are important ideas and viewpoints being expressed.
I think Koenig is Swiss.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kh2RRzd0vk
Switzerland is divided into three parts: german speaking, french speaking and italian speaking. Köening must be from german speaking part.
Laser sharp there!
In Switzerland there are four native languages: German, French, Italian
and Rhaeto-Romanic. Official languages: German, French and Italian
On the map of Switzerland – Title: Spreading of the four native languages in CH (2000)
Orange-yellow German, green French, violet Italian, purple Rhaeto-Romanic, two-tone
touched bilingual regions.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Sprachen_CH_2000.png/1200px-Sprachen_CH_2000.png
My guess re “Swiss” meant, of course, Swiss German.
Koenig’s name and his accent strongly imply Swiss German.
If anyone watched the video and listened to him.
Didn’t sound Italian, French, or Rheato-Romanic to me!!
But thanks anyway.
Who knew that Switzerland is multilingual???
Well, yeah, I did know that, AAMOF . . .

You may be right –alas, this violence to grammatical conventions is something I also am guilty of, especially when I’m “in a heat” to get something pounded out– and as the clock is running I’m trying to construct the roof at the same time I’m building the foundation and walls, so to speak. Moving past all of this, I sincerely hope that we will look and see if Mr. Trump’s actions truly are for the lasting peace of Jerusalem. If they are not, my prayer to our Righteous Lord is that Any thing that causes dissention and selfishness and unfairness and evil to be aimed at Jerusalem–and the people who call it home– will be roundly defeated. Please pray not only for the peace of Jerusalem, but for the whole world.
In your case, a more apt nick would be obtained by substituting another consonant for the first one, LOL.
My rule of thumb is, whenever somebody resorts to pontificating about form rather than substance, that’s a pretty sure sign of having lost the argument.
The Zurich Institute Of Nitpicking thanks you for the comment
The word for the day is bricolage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricolage What began with the declaration of an organization tenuous authority, requires Divine scripture to be reckoned of deed and title of sorts.
I am absolutely and 100% for a so-called one state solution, and this will be the one that history will lead us to inevitably: the country’s name is Palestine and the white Europeans – AshkeNazi – currently imposing themselves as Herrenmenschen over everybody else (even Arab or Iberian Jews are second class citizens in “Israel”) will eventually be Palestinians of European descent. Who not insane or stupid would today bereave white South Africans of their South Africaness?
This obscene entity called Israel fails all common definitions of “state”, “country”, or “nation”. It is nothing but a foreign colony imposed on a country (not a state yet) called Palestine. And the only solution to this mess will be dismantling it. And it will happen inevitably. The universe has this beautiful drive to equilibrium, no matter what. No matter how much a small group of mentally insane, neurotic, PTSD suffering idiots tries to create friction in the hope of bending reality and forcing the universe otherwise, eventually the universe will prevail.
“Israel” is just a matter of time, as is the United States of Aggression.
I’ve been following Mr. Xi’s plan since it’s first-news and………
YES. The BRI is a brilliant idea and the only answer to (and hopefully, the END of) the anglo-zionist empire.
I would suggest the anticipated outbreak of rioting and violence in Jerusalem and around the ME has been underwhelming. President Trump called their bluff. Now based on conquest realities it is time for all parties to make a lasting deal and move on or move out.
you have to wait a bit it is end 2018 that israel is 70 years independence then you might expect a war wit the most heat in the spring of 2019
Highly interesting and intriguing, not to mention entertaining view of the whole saga. Thanks to the author for this article and the insights contained therein.
“The idea was eventually carried out by a UN Resolution in 1948, bringing about the State of Israel on 14 May 1948, the day Palestine became a non-country and enslaved to Israel.”
Not quite: Res. 181 only recommended the partition of Palestine, but did not authorise it. Israel was created fraudulently.
The mandate of Palestine mandated the creation of a Jewish state only. And, in this case, it was not just a recommendation.
you seem to be informed of the historical aspects of the problem so I would be interested to know what you mean by “fraudulently”. Do you mean that the attribution of the mandate was fraudulent or that it has no value in international law?
Thanks in advance
Here we find the perennial scorn over America as a Zionist tool, the implication being that it could or should be so much more than this. Not so. Pax Americana fulfills its chief purpose when it delivers Jerusalem to Israel, just as Pax Britannica reached its pinnacle of achievement with the Balfour Declaration. The tail is frequently confused for the dog. So be it.
Jerusalem may indeed be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. But the Zionist Money Power (bestower of empires) settled upon this particular camel in 1913 for the purpose of delivering this very crucial straw. Empires are transient vehicles tasked with moving eschatology forward. Each has a incremental purpose, the totality of which ultimately makes history ‘whole’. When Daniel sees the anthropomorphic statue of history, it is composed of successive empires. There is a governing unity and a pre-ordained cohesion. Otherwise he would have envisioned a shambolic potluck stew and not a symmetrical human figure at all.
Netanyahu speaks from this eschatological awareness when he says: “Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away.”
America was driven to unsustainable levels of debt via Kissinger’s petrodollar recycling scheme precisely so that its will could be imposed in the manner just displayed. To achieve this, its fiscal house has been squeezed to the point of collapse. America is such an OBVIOUS vehicle-of-the-moment. The Vice Chairman of its central bank was (up until a couple of months ago) an Israeli citizen! Every vehicle requires a purposeful driver.
I belong to the minority, but I think Trump will win in the end. Study the investigation in Congress. Even Mnuchin does not believe in Russiagate. I saw US GDP may get a boost not seen since 1984, if the tax reforms are passed.
Trumps task is to save the US. Americans do not seem to worry about Jerusalem being under Israeli control and why should they? This was established in 1967. On the blog I hear there is no dangerous Intefada going on this time. Saudiarabia supports an Israeli Jerusalem. There are some principal problems, but it is time to accept what can not be changed.
I call attention to Crimea. We don’t want Russia to give it up. The West simply has to accept what can not be changed. We must be consistent.
I hope everybody listens to the wise Sheyk Imran Hussein to better understand Islam. Some opinions we have in common, some not. I have studied Islam a little, so noone should believe I am against it.
I am warming to Trump
Not sure if he is a breath of fresh air or a fart, but he certainly has a novel approach
America, like Russia in Crimea, is current reality
America has so many fingers in so many pies it’s actions effect the world, that is just a reality.
If President Trump leaves some of those pies to sort out their own problems, then he gives space for a new evolving world order
I agree. Jerusalem does not belong to the entire world, certainly not to every Christian and Muslim, anywhere in the world. It belongs to its residents, the majority of whom are Israeli Jews. The autocratic UN and the unelected self-appointed authoritarian representatives of anti-democratic regimes have no business telling Israel what city it should consider to be its capital and to tell US in what Israeli city it should place its embassy.
Its clear that it is the satanic Vatican, the new world order dictatorial body that is the UN, are the forces that are interested in continuing to fan the flames of this conflict, and keep it going.It is the Vatican, Christian Europe, and Muslim fanatics, who are behaving like “small group of mentally insane, neurotic, PTSD suffering idiots tries to create friction in the hope of bending reality and forcing the universe otherwise, eventually the universe will prevail.” It is them who are hell bent on the destruction of Israel and its citizens at any cost. It is them that promulgate the paranoid lie that the creation of Israel, and the possible rebuilding of the Judaic Temple will hasten the coming of the supposed “Antichrist”. The end of the Vatican, perverted Christianity, and Europe that has created it, is indeed coming.
“It is yet to be seen whether this bold and aggressive move by Trump went a step too far; whether this impunity is the straw that may break the empire’s back.”
Clearly Erdogan is trying to demagogue the issue. With the Saudis sort of staring at their sandals in broad abdication and the Sultan’s well-advertised neo-Ottoman aspirations, he finds himself with a tempting pulpit. But are the Arab streets terribly invested in Jerusalem? I don’t think so. Let’s see how Turkey and the Shia Crescent wield this affront in the coming months. I’ve never heard Nasrallah so pissed off.
Again, empires’ backs exist to be broken at the propitious time by the Zionist Money Power that has ridden them successively, probably since Babylonian times. (Though Zionism’s historical entry point was ostensibly 1896-98, the spirit of Antichrist, which it embodies, has been incrementally –and with increasing velocity– exerting itself within this dimension with the passage of each age. I defer once again to the canny Sheikh whose interpretation of the haditha “For forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like your days” speaks to what, in Christian circles, we refer to as a quickening. Everyone can feel it. Not unlike the end of a film spool, events are clipping by at a rapid pace.)
Sheikh Hosein is correct as usual. The Pax Americana-to-Judaica hand-off lurches forward with this development.
Modern physics tells us that everything has already happened i.e. at some locus in the universe, human history is viewable as a fait accompli. Religious texts call this the fullness of time. Zionism is the modern era’s locomotive for demonic consolidation of all earthly power.

Usa vetoes 14 unsc members re usa over Jerusalem.
It occors to me that Trump may have just set himself up for a major fall.
Trump and Nutti Nikki are threatening the entire world that they must obey American and Israeli dictates and not vote for a resolution condemning the USA’s choice of Jerusalem for its embassy. Trump has gone so far as to threaten to cut off aid to countries that don’t follow the US dictate.
This in turn has set the US up for a major fall. Consider this, what happens if the Chinese ambassador is going around quietly telling countries that China will replace any aid cuts by Trump and the US?
Most of the General Assembly usually votes against Israel anyways. Typically the its the US, Israel and a couple of tiny countries desperate for handouts who vote No on such UNGA resolutions. The votes are usually about as close as a futbol match between the nuns from a local convent and Real Madrid’s first team if the players were all promised a bonus for every goal they scored.
Second, the US foreign aid budget has been shrinking regularly. The idea of actually helplng the rest of the world is a policy from the Great Society days. Bush, Obama have been regularly cutting it, and it certainly doesn’t get expanded. Egypt and Israel combine for a huge chunck of the US foreign aid budget. Or at least the domestic side, the real government over in the Pentagon probably has their own budget for military aid. And that’s very unlikely to be cut over something like this. The Pentagon has its own aims for its military aid packages.
Third, in this modern world, while the US has more and more become a nation relying on bluster, threats, intimidation and many wars, China has been the country building stuff. Its far more a factor of China’s approach to the world to give aid to other countries.
So, this could be very quietly setup by some smart Chinese diplomats who could move quickly. Most of the world wants to vote against the idea of embassies moving to occupied Jerusalem. And Trump’s threats and Nikki’s bullying can not be making many friends. And this has created an opportunity to make some more friends in the world by simply promising to replace what are likely rather small US aid expenditures. China is a wealthy nation overall. That’s a government that can lay its hands on what’s probably just could amount to a small side expense to its B&R plans.
Trump and Nikki would just snarl some more at the world after they lose this vote by a massive margin, and they see a lot of smug faces by diplomats who’ve just gotten a bit more aid and a bit closer ties with China by doing what they wanted to do in the first place.
The world is in a situation where an established power is being overtaken by a rising power. These things can seem small at the time, but later when people recount the Decline and Fall of the American Empire, they will be remembered as important milestones as nations slowly and carefully shifted to make sure the rising power knew they were with them.
What Trump did was strip away the veil and show the extreme level of support Israel has in the United States. Israel virtually owns the US Congress. Every time I hear someone say ‘Peace Process’, I have to ask what does that mean? A ‘peace process’ that has been going on for 50 years? Or, to be generous 25 years? There is no peace process. Israel will continue to do what it wants because it is protected by the United States in a way that no other nation is. Israel’s existence is treated with almost the same importance as the existence of the United States itself, by many Americans … not including the large group of ‘Israel firsters’ who place the welfare of Israel above the US (example former Senator Joe Lieberman, the Senator from Tel Aviv).
The Palestinians will never get what they want, because that would require a war against the US itself, and it’s hard to believe anyone will go that far.
