Regular readers will recall that I’ve featured Ania K.’s youtube video’s more than a few times—mostly her interviews with people like Larry Johnson. She has also done a number of interviews with the economist Michael Hudson, whom I’ve also cited in the past. Her most recent interview with Hudson appeared within the past week:
Thanks, Mark for the h/t recognition. I had read a condensed version of the entire interview so thank you for posting it in it's entirety. I was profoundly moved and disturbed by this level of candor from Hudson (why now if he knew this in the 70's?) I was responding to @AmericanCardigan who commented "It was actually the "Brits" who got them off the ground." that he was right on target and added some context by posting an excerpt and then a link. I think so many of us here at your blog have been appreciative of your hard work (how do you listen to all those videos?) and the commentary you provide as context and meaning to much of what is being discussed. We, as the MIH community, believe we are the informed thanks to you and others. What we are reading, seeing, and experiencing is shocking. I had been so naive for so long. Not. Anymore. What got me started was meeting my wife's Greek cousin, who at the time, was the Greek representative to the ICAO organization which is headquartered in Montreal. It was a wonderful visit and he gave me this interesting book...."The Clash of Civilizations" by Samuel Huntington and I was off to the races. I learned so much from him as he had last been stationed in the Ukraine and following his stint with ICAO, we met again when he was posted to the U.N. then back to Canada as Greece's ambassador. Oh, the stories he told me. He is now retired. I read your blog and find the community here a great group with lot's of interesting views.
I wonder if the BRICS will do a version of the Hague based on real international law and charge Westerners and Israelis in absentia. That would be something to behold.
Absolutely horrifying. At this point there is certainly a preponderance of evidence supporting his views and how can you argue against his first-hand knowledge of Israel's strategic intent and methods?
As many have stated, if the U.S. wanted to stop the Gaza genocide or to stop Israel from attacking Iran to start a war all it would need to do is stop military equipment sales and military systems support to Israel; short of that we are accomplices to everything they have done and will do.
Not everyone in the U.S. Congress and in the Executive Branch may be in Israel's pocket but Netanyahu seems supremely confident that he has enough support to continue doing whatever he wants when he wants no matter what anyone else thinks or how dangerous it may be. A very scary (and I believe true) quote from an earlier post of Mark's today:
"The Israeli notion of deterrence--which is, total fear of what Israel could do--is absolutely essential in the mind of Netanyahu. Without that fear, Netanyahu believes Israel can't survive."
Given adherence to this belief, there is no off ramp from catastrophe and as Scott Ritter has noted there is no future for Israel. Madness.
