AEI & Freedom's Watch Seek $200 Million to Sell War on Iran

Share/Save Share this

The New York Times reports that Freedom's Watch is working with the American Enterprise Institute to lobby for war with Iran. "'If Hitler's warnings were heeded when he wrote Mein Kampf he could have been stopped,' said Bradley Blakeman, 49, the president of Freedom's Watch and a former deputy assistant to Mr. Bush. ... The idea for Freedom's Watch was hatched in March at the winter meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Manalapan, Fla., where Vice President Dick Cheney was the keynote speaker. ... One benefactor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the group was hoping to raise as much as $200 million by November 2008. Raising big money 'will be easy,' the benefactor said, adding that several of the founders each wrote a check for $1 million. ... Since the group is organized as a tax-exempt organization, it does not have to reveal its donors. ... Among the group's founders are Sheldon G. Adelson ... sixth on the Forbes Magazine list of the world's billionaires; Mel Sembler ... who served as the ambassador to Italy and Australia; John M. Templeton Jr., the conservative philanthropist from Bryn Mawr, Pa.; and Anthony H. Gioia, a former ambassador to Malta. ... Mr. Sembler, who is on the board of directors of the American Enterprise Institute, said the impetus for Freedom's Watch 'came out of A.E.I.' last winter."

No surprise there. AEI is a

No surprise there. AEI is a Scaife-funded republican lie mill receiving
huge funding from Exxon-Mobil, Shell, Chevron, etc., etc. They're also
connected to right wing religious group operations for the purpose of
"undermining progressive religious organizations".

Israel Lobby

I think that people like Cheney/Bush don't care about the American interests. With people like them, you don't need any enemy for destroying US. Impact of their wrong decisions almost destroyed your economy and your face in the world. They only think about their pockets and don’t care what’s the consequence of their foolish acts. They arranged their policies on base of Israel interest in the region. Iran is the most powerful country in the ME and they must try to correct their behaviors against them. You can not scare them with hallow threats. Even kids know how weak your troops are in the region. If Iran starts to support Iraqis, your troops will be an easy target for them. Iraqis hate US troops and they only need weapon and training for deterring them . Wake up and try to stop them. US must try for decades to recover their mismanagement. Starting a new war will be the end of US. I recommend reading of “The Israel lobby and US foreign policy”.

The problem with the right wing of the Israeli minds is that they are unable to live with anybody else. As far as they are concerned no one within a 1000 miles radius should have not even a kitchen knife , because that would pose a threat to the occupation of Palestine.

They don't have to spend $200 million.

The Mutternich Institute will do the job for a mere $1 million with a 10 percent upfront cash deposit, including custom expert Hitlerizing. Think how many Gulfstreams they could buy with the savings.

Here's Sy Hersch on the subject of "Hitlerizing."

"We have this wonderful capacity in America to Hitlerize people. We had Hitler, and since Hitler we've had about 20 of them. Khrushchev and Mao and of course Stalin, and for a little while Gadhafi was our Hitler. And now we have this guy Ahmadinejad."
