pcr brings to light some recent 'skinny' which is that the zionists are the empire's point man in the mid east and doesn't run the empire contrary to most suspicions, though he doesn't exactly say that straight out;

Is Trump Bringing Netanyahu to Heel and Substituting An American Colonial Empire in Place of Greater Israel?

Paul Craig Roberts

Last Tuesday Nima and I discussed whether Trump can break free from Netanyahu’s grip on America  https://www.youtube.com/live/4tun0-L8DJw .

Three days later, Professor Michel Chossudovsky sent me his interview by Drago Bosnia that provides a unique point of view into the mystery of what is transpiring in the Middle East  https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-trump-says-goodbye-to-greater-israel/5887309 .

Chossudovsky suggests that President Trump is deep-sixing Greater Israel and replacing it with an American colonial project in which Gaza becomes a US possession or territory.  The prize is the billions of dollars of gas reserves that run from Egypt’s border with Gaza to northern Syria.  Chossudovsky notes that the US embassy in Iraq and the one under construction in Beirut, Lebanon, are the two largest in the world, far too large for the countries and in fact are management centers for Washington’s colonial empire in the Middle East.  Chossudovsky reports that Trump has said “Good Bye Greater Israel.”  The area is now being organized into Washington’s colonial empire.

What Chossudovsky says makes sense and clears up conundrums that Nima and I struggled with. If Chossudovsky is on the money, this is a world changer. I wonder if Russia and China understand this?  Does Iran?  Turkey? Saudi Arabia?........more......
