Talking Points Combating Israel's Manipulation of the Media Battle to resolve the Middle East crisis cannot be won on a battlefield.

FOREIGN POLICY Since the end of World War II, United States' foreign policy can be identified by one word: Counterproductive: producing the very result the action was meant to prevent. The failed military action in Vietnam best represent this ongoing policy. Often starting with false assumptions and spurious facts, policies produced catastrophes and remained unresolved.The incessant wars for "freedom" turned into killing fields. Wars produced wars and counter-terrorism produced more terrorism. While trying to structure its own world order, the U.S. remains unaware that it is enabling a new world structure, steered by China and other Asian nations This emerging world structure favors Statism, a mix of government controlled and free enterprise policies; a socio-economic system the U.S. rejects and is indirectly nourishing. Policies, wars, conflicts, and nations who challenge US exceptionalism are examined and discussed. The past remains relevant and serves to predict the future. With it all, a lingering question: Will US foreign policies ever become positive?	The Foreign Policies Proposals to Resolve the World Conflagrations.

Apply a little warmth, defrost the ice and Russia has another appearance.  The Russians Did It The Russian socially directed activities have not been shown to create any additional divisions.

DOMESTIC POLICY United States domestic policies are often  patchwork to recurring problems. By not recognizing the origin of problems, directions to solutions have been misdirected. The misdirection leads to constant discussion and irresolution of problems. Early articles describe the stock market manipulations leading to eventual decline and the lack of resolution of social security problems These preliminaries lead to examination of the later economic crisis, predicted in some articles and made obvious in others. The Paulson and Geithner attempts to rescue the economy are analyzed.The credit oriented cause of the economic crisis recalls that Ronald Reagan's policies started the government and trade deficits. The U.S. is headed towards one of two solutions -War cometh before the fall or the Socialization of America. Still to be recognized - Government deficits are not the problem, the current account deficit is the principal problem.	Is the Keynes Investment Multiplier Actually a Divider?

MIDDLE EAST CRISIS While the world community debates a two- state or one-state solution for the Middle East crisis, Israel proceeds with its unilateral solution - one-state - a Jewish state. Clearly described is the evolution of Israel's strategy and the maddening "peace process." An original Zionism, rejected by the Jewish people seemed outmoded by World War I and became revived by the Balfour Declaration and establishment of the British Mandate. President Truman reacted too late to the 1948 recognition of Israel. Incessant wars, conducted from pleas of defense and security needs while geared to enlarge Israel and subdue the Palestinians, have led to either completely vanquishing the Palestinians or a resolution by The Course of History. The Jewish people are caught in a maelstrom that could evolve in its decline and massive destruction to much of the entire world.	Revealing The Real Israel Israel’s Nation State Law Transforms States into Tribal Governances Israel’s Nation State Law establishes Israel as a revival to a tribal form of governance, where borders and boundaries are not fixed, and extends to Jews in other nations. Does Israel Exist as a Nation State? Present diplomatic arrangements are incongruous with Israel's composition. Illogical and Irrational - The Route of the Middle East Crisis Mayhem is due to the illogical, obvious to anyone who notes the irrational reasons for Israel's emphasis on the vanished Temple.    Emergence of the Real Israel Israelis have a national identity that is less than and more artificial than the Palestinians and not total trappings of a nation state.

This does not imply that Israel's operations equate with those of the more brutal ISIL. Deceptive Route to a One-State Solution -- an all Jewish State Israel's expansion must be stalled by confronting its propaganda, which gives sustenance to oppression.  The War of Narratives Palestinians are thrust in an unenviable role - expose the contrived Israeli narrative and impress the world with their narrative,  Social and Econ Justice Precede Peace Redress of injustices upon Palestinians may make negotiations possible. Deaths of "no-state" Palestinians are Proportional to Life of Two State Solution The mistakes in proposing "the only solution to the Middle East conflict."  Deconstructing the Israel Narrative As Israel's democracy becomes questioned, its mystique becomes more exaggerated. The Self-Destruction of Israel Israel's strongest supporters are bringing it to destruction.

All should be doing something to counter Israel's deceptive practices. Part III: Countering Israel's Deception Knowledge of the battlefields and recommendations for combating the plan of worldwide deception is essential to a strategy that leads to Israel's economic and social decline and forces it to re-evaluate policies.  Israel and the Jewish People Return of the Israelites Establishing Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, does not create a Jewish state but replaces the Israel state with an association of communities who can debate what is being Jewish.

Now, one word, Hamas, is used for more of the same.  A Palestinian State Frees All Recognition of a Palestinian state saves all.  Resolving the Displaced Persons Problem Rather than being portrayed as victims, the dispossessed are often perceived as perpetrators Who Speaks for the Palestinians Palestinians lack cohesion to have unified voice.  Palestinian Nationalism Palestinians want what peoples need for survival - a self- identity that derives from having a state.  The "Peace" Initiatives Bringing Peace to the Middle East In attempting to bring peace and stability to the world's regions, the United States and its allies have proceeded from one premise - first wage war. After survivors clear the battlefields, peace and stability remain fragile. Perpetual war has become inevitable.  New Direction to Resolve Middle East Crisis Countering Israel's persecution of Palestinians is an international cause that considers danger to all peoples -- breeding terrorism, nurturing conflagrations, and enhancing nuclear war. Jewish Voices for Peace A clearly expressed Americans for Peace is needed, in which organizations such as Jewish Voice for Peace and other religious and ethnic organizations are only subsidiaries.  The Sepoy Mutiny and the Middle East Peace Process Explaining Israel's growth of and predicting its future solicits comparisons between the Zionist adventure and previous historical episodes.  Course of History will resolve the ME crisis An inexorable course of history might speak for everyone and resolve the Middle East Crisis.

MEDIA   The conventional media play an essential role in conditioning the minds and shaping the thoughts and actions of Americans. These roles are described in several articles that challenge accepted dogma. From the search to freedom, inaccurate reporting of domestic and foreign events to hate in America, a battle for minds shapes the thinking of American people.	The Search for Freedom Escape From Freedom A review of Eric Fromm's psychological analysis of freedom. One Dimensional Man Marcuse's examination of individuals in an industrial state. Battle for the Minds Part I - The Religious Politic  Part I I - The New Atheists The Media is the Mischief Media bias can be subtly disguised and have enormous deleterious effects. Netflix, in a hastily assembled and predictable drama, Bird Box, outlines, in a covert manner, the effects of the media agenda.  One Cohen and Two Mountains The Bergs give a biased interpretation to Mueller’s memorandums. In a Daily Beast article, commentators Max Bergmann and Sam Berger flip another side of the coin into the fountain of outrageous statements that have emanated from Trump supporters and his antagonists.  The New York Times Plots 2016 Election Without facts to support its case for extensive Russian interference in 2016 election, a New York Times article demonstrates media fits facts to enhance agenda.
