Jewish Israel's Arms Trade, The Jewish Lobby And The Meaning Of Chosenness

Tehran Times: "America is willing to sacrifice its young soldiers and national interests and even its economy for Jewish Israel," Gilad Atzmon, who was born in a Jewish family in Jewish Israel and grew up in Jerusalem al-Quds, tells the Tehran Times. *
Atzmon, who now lives in Britain, also says, "Jewish pressure groups seem to believe that they are actually more powerful and certainly more important than the American constitution." 
The following is the text of the interview:

Tehran Times: Numerous rights bodies have slammed Western countries’ arms trade with Israel. What is your comment?

The US Military Industrial Complex Is Destroying Both Peace And The US Economy

The military industrial complex makes certain that no moves toward peace can succeed.

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Secretary of Defense Mark Esper is a former Raytheon lobbyist and another example of President Trump’s penchant for frustrating his own policies by appointing to power people who oppose his policies.  Why does Trump think he can expect a representative of the military/security complex to help him wind down Washington’s hegemonic policeman of the world routine?

Esper is out making speeches that the military/security complex needs 5% real increase annually in order to counter Russia and China—https://news.antiwar.com/2020/10/16/esper-calls-for-more-military-spending-to-face-china-and-russia/ .  It is Washington that is aggressive toward Russia and China, not the other way around.  The military/security complex desperately needs foreign enemies in order to maximize its budget and power.  Russiagate’s purpose was to prevent Trump from removing a valuable “enemy” by normalizing relations with Russia. 

The US defense budget could be cut in half and still be larger than the combined defense budgets of Russia and China.

Corporate Bitcoin FOMO

Max and Stacy note that the Treasury market is now so large that the only way to keep it under control is for the Fed to intervene. They also look at Reuters reporting that the latest nearly $1 billion fine on JP Morgan (for manipulating precious metals prices) is unlikely to deter the bank’s ‘recidivism’ as the previous $36 billion also failed to stop them. In the second half, Max chats to Parker Lewis of Unchained Capital about the importance of price discovery and ‘running out of bitcoin.’
