No-one on this blog knows Freeman apparently.
It is absolute balderdash to say that he was unqualified, or that the Israel lobby was not involved. First, he is not “unaware of Wahhabism” — served as Ambassador in KSA. Not one-sided at all! Very well-rounded & great credentials re. NATO, Africa, Middle East, China etc. Further, he is not uncritical about the Saudis (or the Chinese) the point is he was considered very dangerous by AIPAC & the Lobby. As for steppping aside “gracefully” without saying anything, that’s not “graceful” it is submission, as he wrote to the interests of another state, Israel. Many of us do NOT want to equate Tel Aviv with Washington and the head of the NIC Council cannot do so! I feel very sorry for all you, repeating trash & slander about a great American who could have intelligently sifted through the conflicting aspects of the various agencies work.

Jewish/Israeli lobbyists are very influential in the American government. Americans continue to spend money to support a foreign country when we can barely support ourselves.

I just watched Freeman being interviewed by Fareed Zakaria. A couple of three points.

1. The other day there was a brief discussion on whether or not Freeman is Jewish. He isn’t, by his own words.

2. He frequently cited the Zionist Organization of America as the main bogeyman here. Any Jew will tell you that they’ve barely heard of the organization and probably couldn’t tell you three positions they have on three issues they choose to deal with. I read a bit, and I couldn’t tell you the first thing about the organization. Of course, anyone heading a government intelligence organization should be familiar with that level of organizational ineffectuality. But he’s not. He’s claiming they are some kind of all powerful monolith.

3. He still asserts that US support of Israeli settlements, or as we call them in the US, neighborhoods built on their own land, was the cause of 9/11. Well, for the former ambassador to Saudi Arabia, he certainly has chosen to completely ignore the history of Wahabism and it’s relationship to the Saudi Royal Family. That is pretty poor analysis. He is completely unqualified for this job. This much is clear. It is unclear whether or not he is still on the Saudi payroll. And it is beyond me to understand how a man could assert that Israel is a greater threat to American than the Saudis.

What is the real reason behind the Freeman and Powers postions? Simple. It is cowardice.

People with generally prevailing standards of ethical conduct are condenmed because it is safe to do so.

People who will saw off your head and ejaculate over your expiring remains are praised because
it might be dangerous to oppose them.

Cowards ALWAYS cloak themselves in an aura of superior morality. And it is ALWAYS false.
They are slimeballs.

First of all, politicians are whores. They won’t miss anybody’s event. You name a political action committee, and you will see the same faces there all the time.

As per the rest of your statement, you are either paranoid or harbor some real anti-Semitic feeling. In either case, you should get some professional help for it.

Arabs and muslims should be kicked out of America. Jews have brought more prosperity to America. We should open our doors to Jews based on their race alone.

As for the palestinians their whining will never stop so we have to silent them using whatever means we have at our disposal , without remorse.

Long live Israel.
Long live USA.

Freeman was telling the truth! AIPAC was the central power in both the Rpublican and Democratic runs for President and similar “high” government positions. Do not believe me. Check out the position it plays in electing government on both side. Still don’t believe me! Let any high government official ignore an appeal to appear or refuse to appear at an AIPAC event and see the repercussions.
I will take it one step further!
See who appears at AIPAC events over the decades and you will see the real truth!
Just remember this only works in metropolitan urban population centres so the rest of citizens are immune from this power play.

It was obvious during the campaign that Obama was sympathetic to Muslims so why is anyone surprised at the anti-semitics around him? Why is no one really talking about this? Wasn’t the Holocaust lesson enough? Tomorrow they could come for each of us. Look at what is happening in Europe? Americans had better wake up.
