The Remarkable Scope Of Sanctions Warfare
Jeff Stein at the WaPo is starting a three part series on the astounding scope of Anglo-Zionist economic warfare against the rest of the world—i.e., the non-compliant countries that refuse to bend the knee to every diktat. He introduces the series with a fairly detailed tweeted summary. What he demonstrates is, as has become apparent since the start of the war on Russia, that economic warfare, designed to bring any nation on earth to its knees before the Anglo-Zionist oligarchs is absolutely central to Anglo-Zionist warfare. It’s supposed to be the magic bullet. Interestingly, in #5 below, you’ll see that a conflict has arisen between State and Treasury. In that regard, I recently saw a report that TreasSec Yellen has been complaining that sanctions are backfiring.

NEW: THE STAGGERING RISE OF AMERICA'S GLOBAL ECONOMIC WARFARE
1st in a series @federicacocco & I found:
1. ~1/3 of all nations on Earth now face some form of US sanctions. Huge increase from when mostly applied to Cuba & a handful of regimes
2. +*60%* of *all poor countries* are under US sanctions of some kind. Has become almost a reflex of US foreign policy
3. Sanctions have spawned multi-billion-dollar lobbying & influence industry, enriching former US officials who are hired by foreign countries & oligarchs
Yeah—who’da thunk? The system works for the insiders! Go figure.
4. Sanctions have had devastating effects on innocent civilians. In Cuba, they've made critical medical supplies impossible to import. In Venezuela, they contributed to a financial collapse 3X greater than the US Great Depression. Syria faces its greatest humanitarian crisis this year after a decade civil war & sanctions.
Not that Anglo-Zionists care about innocent civilians. Following Netanyahu they respond that there are no innocents in countries that resist the Anglo-Zionist juggernaut.
5. Treasury staffers drafted a ~40 page plan aimed at reforming the sanctions process that was dramatically whittled down amid disagreements w/ State
6. OFAC is widely described as overwhelmed by tens of thousands of requests. WH officials have brainstormed sanctions scenarios w/ outside nonprofits
Uh, is AIPAC a non-profit? Who are these non-profits? Interest groups, lobbying groups, identity groups.
7. Biden has unleashed unprecedented volley of +6K sanctions in 2 years. Higher than even previously unprecedented rate of Trump.
“We don’t think about the collateral damage of sanctions the same way we think about the collateral damage of war ... But we should.”
More to come.

Meanwhile, like a troup of performing seals …

 The average amount of standing ovations during Kim Jong Un's speeches in North Korea averages about 1 standing ovation per 4 minutes of talking
Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of a foreign nation, receives 400% more standing ovations in the United States than Kim Jong Un inside his own "dictatorship".

Disgusting - we are a captured nation
US Senator Bernie Sanders:
"Netanyahu is not only a war criminal. He is a liar."

Tonight, the world was able to see who controls America.
The Senate in the United States introduced Benjamin Netanyahu as "His Excellency" and the entire Senate, both Democrats and Republicans, applauded his every word.
Shameful display of servility.
The biggest murderer and criminal who massacred thousands of children in Gaza in a few months, all of that video documented.
This is like in 1945 they brought Hitler and applauded him.
Now it is already clearer to everyone how much control Benjamin Netanyahu has over the entire political elite in the United States, and which constantly creates conflicts in the Middle East and waves of refugees to Europe.
Kudos to Doug Macgregor for speaking out against this national disgrace (video at the bolded link).

The war in Gaza has already destroyed or disrupted millions of lives and yet there are policymakers in DC who are contemplating war with Iran. Wars cost lives and none of these corrupt DC officials seem to give a damn. America First!

I hope the EU and DC keep on upping the sanctions. The more they do this, the quicker the economic alternatives to Dollar domination develop.
So sanctions via the resort to lobbyists to reverse or ameliorate them become a major contributor to
the corruption of all the individuals and governments involved. Shamir's article from 2016 perfectly delineates a picture of all this in regard to Russia. http://www.israelshamir.com/article/the-untouchable-mr-browder/
