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.

"The memo was explicit: if developing countries develop politically conscious, resource-nationalist governments responding to their own populations' needs, they will demand control of their oil, their minerals, their agricultural land.
And that control would come at the expense of American access.
The solution proposed was population control programs, funded through USAID and international organizations, targeting those specific countries."

In 1954, President Eisenhower said something at a public press conference that almost nobody remembers.

Speaking to 197 journalists about Southeast Asia, he described the region's significance in terms of tin, tungsten, and rubber. Of access to raw materials. Of what would happen to Japanese and European economies, American allies, if those resources came under the control of governments not aligned with Washington.

Not democracy. Not freedom. Not the domino theory of ideological contagion.

Tin. Tungsten. Rubber.

On the record. In public. Forgotten.

Because in the same press conference, Eisenhower also introduced the falling domino. And the domino was the story that traveled. The domino fit on a textbook page. The domino gave the war the shape of principle rather than the shape of plunder.
