Washington's
'New America' Foundation
Rita Hauser Blocks 'New America' from
calling it straight on Israel &
Jews
Fri
- 21 Oct - Mentioning JEWS
and ISRAEL Still OFF LIMITS at New
America despite escalating Republican Civil War: Wednesday at the New  America Foundation
in downtown Washington was not the first time the Republican
'moderates' lashed out at the Republican
neocon 'cabal' with special darts aimed at VP Cheney and Pentagon
chief Rumsfeld. It was however the first time New Americamade such big news, largely thanks to the Financial Times which featured both the story, and the transcript, pushing the Washington Post and others to join in.
New America
some time ago purposefully became a sounding board
for those hoping to take back the Republican party from its far
right-wing crusading ideologues. Like Brookings for liberals and AEI for neocons, New America has aspirations of
power for its people in new administrations to come. And as
activist think-tank holding-tanks go New
America even enjoys mixing mainly conservative Democrats with
mainly liberal Republicans -- a very centrist approach in polarized
Washington.
BUT there is a big BUT to New America's self-professed
allegiance to serious and open discussion about what's gone so wrong
with the current America. Even though the key Washington neocons
are intimately linked to the Israelis
in general and Ariel Sharon specifically; you'd never know this from
listening to New America
forums. Even though the neocons
are primarily Jewish by religion, right-wing Zionists by ideology, and
intimately tied to a number of leading
American Jewish lobbying and propaganda organizations by politics,
you'd never know this from listening to New America discussions.
These
crucial subjects are off limits at New
America just like at
other corporate and foundation sponsored think-tanks in
Washington. There's the considerable fear factor operating here;
and of course the money factor as well.
One of the reasons for New America's blockage is a woman
by the name of Rita Hauser (that's her in the picture at a Mayflower
Hotel New America forum she helped sponsor and control last
month).
Hauser has long been part of a 'cabal' herself -- this one associated
with a number of key Jewish organizations and tied to the Council on
Foreign Relations which itself is now hooked big-time into Washington
affairs. On the whole
those associated with this other 'cabal' have long fronted in the U.S.
for Israel's Labor-party; just as others provide a similar service for
Israel's Likud party. With money
grants coming from the Hauser Foundation among like-minded others
New America
has essentially allowed itself to be bought off when it
comes to open and honest discussion about the Israeli and
Jewish influences and connections that are a major aspect to how the
U.S. got pushed into pursuing such disastrous policies. So even
when New America's speakers
and writers loudly
castagate the crusading neocons -- as Colin Powell's former Chief of
Staff did so boldly Wednesday
at New America -- any
serious and oh-so-needed focus on the Jewish and Israeli aspects to who
is whom and who is behind what is off limits
at New America.
Not so different after all from the old America -- just a little more
hypocritical and 'bi-partisan' and quasi-intellectual.

Powell, Have you no shame?"

Thu
- 20 Oct - SHAMELESS WASHINGTON
FRACTURING AT THE TOP: With Colin Powell's former Chief
of Staff at the  State
Department and long-time friend breaking ranks and viciously
assaulting the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Bush 'cabal' in public yesterday,
it's more clear then ever that we have a government exploding from
within not witnessed here since the second-term Nixon
days. Colonel Wilkenson unloaded
on the 'cabal' at the New American Foundation in downtown
Washington yesterday. Then Colin
Powell himself raced forward to salute one more time last evening,
once again trying to deflect the attacks on those he so dutifully
served. As a black man there is the inescapable Uncle Tom ring to
things, no matter how few dare to say so in public.
Noteably Wilkenson did comment about how 'loyalty to country' should
trump loyalty to government or personal career -- but apparently after
all those years of Pentagon saluting and being a token black man at the
highest levels of white power in Washington Powell just doesn't get
it...even now (see 14 Oct).
Meanwhile Mahmoud
Abbas is in town to get his marching orders, more money, more CIA
help...and just about anything the Americans can think of to keep him
in power against Hamas. But the more they embrace him the more
there is fear about the 'kiss of
death'...
Wed - 19 Oct - JUSTICE DENIED and IMPERIALISM
ASSAULTED:
In 1982 after an assassination attempt the brutal ruthless Saddam
Hussein had maybe 150 Iraqi men and boys arrested, tortured and
killed. For
that today he f inally goes on
trial. In 1982 after very public American promises to
protect
Palestinian refugees in Israeli-invaded Lebanon, the brutal and
ruthless Ariel Sharon coordinated the massacre of thousands of
defenseless Palestinian woman and children by the Christian Lebanese
Phalange fighting on Israel's side. READ MORE...
Meanwhile brigades are training in Venezuela, Iran,
and Syria for anticipated U.S. attacks if further CIA 'regime-change'
efforts fail, as they did in Iraq for more than a decade.
Two days after he probably watched Louis Farakhan
denounce U.S. imperialism in front of the U.S. capitol...

Washington,
modern-day Rome,
has evolved since World War II into an amazingly hubristic,
nationalistic, militaristic, and politically incestuous corporate
town. The two parties that
control the capital continually hand out considerable favors and
financial rewards
to
themselves and partners -- dealing ostracism, vilification, and
punishment to
everyone else who won't sing the same jingoistic tunes. When it
comes to foreign
policy issues the two parties can now be considered in reality a
fairly unified Imperial Party pursuing with crusading zealotry a
worldwide Manifest Destiny-inspired
ideology. BlogWashington's daunting task
is to dissect, unravel, and indeed just plain explain to
non-Washingtonians crucial bits and pieces of what's
really going on this world capital -- realities you certainly will not
find dealt with candidly and honestly
by the big corporate
newspapers or commercial Television Networks.
