 more here on the attempts to formalize israel's ownership of the empire as our treasonous 'lawmakers' push for more for the zionists; 

 

Washington’s yearly defense measure has ground to a halt, and one buried clause explains why a widening bloc of lawmakers wants the whole thing pried back open. Members voted down the procedural rule required to open debate on the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act on June 30, splitting 198 to 224 as fourteen Republicans broke away. Their rebellion turned on Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) bid to fasten President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act to the must pass bill, not on the Israel clause.

Even so, the collapse handed opponents breathing room and preserved an amendment that leadership had already worked to smother. Lawmakers returned July 13 with barely eight working days left before the August recess, and the clause called Section 219 rides along with them. The pressure climbed again over the weekend when Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), among the Senate’s loudest champions of tight defense bonds with Israel, died without warning.

Once labeled Section 224, Section 219 carries the formal name the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.” It orders the Secretary of Defense to appoint a Pentagon executive agent charged with widening and speeding the joint research, evaluation, and industrial work shared by the two governments.

It’s language stretches across close to ten fields of warfare, taking in counter drone weapons, missile and air defense, artificial intelligence and autonomous platforms, quantum computing, cyber and electronic warfare, directed energy, biotechnology, and shared weapons manufacturing. A briefing falls due within 180 days, and yearly reports run through 2030. Read plainly, it sounds like housekeeping. Read closely, opponents argue, it threads a single foreign country straight into the apparatus that commandeers over a trillion dollars of American firepower.........more.........
