An international lawyer John Whitbeck:
“The primary reasons why virtually all members of the US Congress prioritize the desires of the Israeli government over the interests of the American people are money and fear — and particularly the fear of all the money that Israel-Firsters will devote to ending your political career, most notably through primary elections, if you manifest anything less than unconditional support and/or abject subservience to Israel.”

Congressional candidates are routinely and openly approached by AIPAC representatives who ask in advance their views on Israel. If they are cooperative, sometimes requiring a written statement of intent, they are given a pass and can count on financial support and favorable media. If they are not, they are marked for removal.

In the current round of primaries just concluded, AIPAC-Pac has boasted that it has achieved 100% success as “an AIPAC-endorsed candidate has won in every district (224 races) where an endorsee was on the ballot. All 90 AIPAC-backed Democrats who have had their primary races in 2024 have won. These Democrats are strong pro-Israel voices. 134 AIPAC-backed Republicans have [also]won their elections.

Join Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 5th August 2026 at 14:00 EDT, 19:00 London time

As you all I know I have returned from a stiumulating visit to the United States, where I met many old friends - including and first and foremost members of our Locals Community who were kind and generous enough to travel all the way to Chattanooga and to join us for the 1776 Law Centre Convention - and where I learnt a great deal.

We can absolutely talk about all of that in our Live Stream today.

Briefly and in summary, for all its many well known problems - which we discuss extensively on our Live Streams - I found the United States from every point of view - economic and political - in much better shape than Europe. By way of example, there is still debate and dissent about the current political course in the United States at every level of the political system to an extent which is unknown in Europe.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
