Regardless of what you think of Ilhan Omar – she spoke out against foreign influence in American political institutions - And that is BIG & it has stirred up alot of shit in Washington. I personally believe the major problems with American institutions is due to the lobbies. The well known but silent secret, that is not openly discussed - the Pro-Israel lobby that fully controls the foreign policy that is leading America to its financial collapse & its demise on the world stage.
We talk about suicidal fascists war hawks, the neocon neoliberal extremists, the dangerously dim-witted decision makers in the white house – BUT we fail to clearly state that all these policies have been for the benefit of Israel. Every influential politician has sold out America for Pro-Israel lobby $$$. And on top of that has violated our 1st amendment with anti-BDS laws and has used “anti-semitic” accusations against any critical statement made against the Israeli government. We must be careful in choosing our words, but we must also clearly and openly state what needs to be said without being afraid of upsetting someone. Omar, like her or not, has brought a silent but critical issue to the spotlight. It has all the compromised politicians, figures heads & lobbyists scrambling, shamelessly using “antisemitism” allegations to censor the truth. People are waking up, getting more informed – we CANNOT avoid the obvious any longer. We need to openly discuss the true naked state of our government institutions & the lobbies that control them - CENSORSHIP AND FEAR BREEDS HATRED. I am truly concerned of the backlash from REAL anti-Semitic, anti-Jew sentiments that will arise from not being able to openly discuss Zionism, BDS, the pro-Israel lobby…etc We should have open discussions about the difference between Judaism & Zionism…..to understand what is real anti-Semitism....how fascism can take away our freedoms by censorship through fear and smear campaigns.
