- The JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs)/PNAC
(Project for a New American Century) neocons are trying to have CIA Director
George Tenet take the fall for their nefarious agenda which was mentioned
before the House of Representatives by Congressman Ron Paul of Texas (which

- Why hasn't MSNBC and other Zionist-biased US media discussed
Representative Paul's presentation? Why hasn't MSNBC covered what British
Member of Parliament (MP) and Father of the Commons Tam Dalyell mentioned
about JINSA (as conveyed in the following article from the San Francisco
Chronicle)?:

- Bush Neocons Pushing US to Wider War in Syria, Iran and
North Korea
-
- British MP (and Father of the Commons) Tam Dalyell had
accurately mentioned recently (as covered in the Guardian) that JINSA (the
Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs) had been a major factor
(wording to this effect) for the invasion of Iraq and that he was concerned
about the JINSA agenda (as revealed by searching under "Iraq"
and "Iran" at www.jinsa.org) pushing for further regime change
in Syria and in Iran (JINSA would also like regime change in North Korea
in order to prevent potential weapons of mass destruction from being sold
or similar to perceived enemies of Israel, so JINSA is apparently willing
to risk a horrific war on the Korean peninsula because of its Israel first
agenda). The article (included below) from the 'Forward' (which is a Jewish
publication out of New York) last Friday (on May 16th) bolsters MP Dalyell's
concerns (with regard to how the hawkish Jewish Institute of National Security
Affairs is pushing hard for regime change in Iran as well). It is important
to know that JINSA is associated with the Project for the New American
Century (PNAC) which had wanted regime change in Iraq well before the tragic
9/11 attack. JINSANs like were/are associated with PNAC as well.. For additional

- Family Ties Connect US Right, Zionists
-
- By Jim Lobe
- March 9, 2003
-
- WASHINGTON -- When Vice President Dick Cheney's national
security adviser and fellow hawk Eric Edelman was promoted to become the
new US ambassador to Turkey last month, it was hardly a surprise when Cheney
tapped Victoria Nuland to take his place.
-
- Nuland, whose last post was deputy US ambassador to
Nato, is just as well known as the spouse of Robert Kagan, co-founder of
the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which nine days after
the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, published an open letter to President
George W. Bush urging that the war on terrorism include the removal of
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, "even if evidence does not link Iraq
directly to the attack".
-
- While Nuland enjoys a strong reputation as an independent
thinker, the family connection to Kagan was typical of the extraordinarily
tight-knit nature of the regime that has taken control of US foreign policy
since 9/11.
-
- When historians look back at the major backers of an
aggressive US foreign policy vis-a-vis Iraq and the "war on terrorism",
one of the more curious aspects they are likely to find is the degree to
which key hawks both within and outside the administration not only affirmed
each other's political views, but were actually related to one another,
as well.
-
- Consider Kagan's family: in addition to Robert, whose
current book Of Paradise and Power, a meditation on the notion that Americans
are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus, there is his father, Donald,
a Yale University historian who also signed the Sep. 20, 2001 letter, and
his brother, Frederick, a military historian at the US Army Academy, both
prominent in the neo-conservative cause.
-
- On the eve of the 2000 presidential elections, Donald
and Frederick published While America Sleeps, a clarion call on Washington
- which was already spending more on arms than the 13 next biggest militaries
combined - to increase its defence spending sharply lest it find itself,
like Britain in the late 1930s, unable to face down a new Hitler. Since
then, both men have published reams of columns warning that Washington
must immediately increase military spending by at least 25 per cent to
keep up with its global responsibilities.
-
- Robert was also busy in 2000, preparing the groundwork
for the neo-imperial policy of the post-9/11 period. In addition to writing
columns for the Washington Post, he co-edited another book, Present Dangers,
about US foreign policy - to which both Frederick and Donald contributed
chapters - with his long-time collaborator and PNAC co-founder, William
Kristol.
-
- Editor of the Rupert Murdoch-owned, neo-conservative
Weekly Standard, PNAC chairman, Kristol, who first came to national prominence
as a top aide to then-vice president Dan Quayle, is the son of Irving Kristol,
the godfather of neo- conservatism who waged cultural wars against the
Soviet Union in Europe in the 1950s, and who has been calling for a new
US imperial role since the late 1960s.
-
- Irving, whose wife Gertrude Himmelfarb, has also been
a major neo-con heavyweight for decades, played a key role in steering
the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal from a bland, business-oriented
conservatism into a mouthpiece for the Israeli Likud Party and other far
right causes.
-
- Just last week the elder Kristol was honoured for his
lifetime achievements at the annual dinner at the American Enterprise Institute
(AEI), where Bush himself laid out the vision that tugs at the hearts of
neo-cons today: a "liberated Iraq" and a transformed Arab Middle
East prepared to make peace with Israel on Likud terms.
-
- As godfather of the movement, Irving played mentor to
Norman Podhoretz, the long-time but now-retired editor of Commentary, the
influential monthly publication of the American Jewish Committee (AJC).
Originally identified with the anti-war left in the mid-1960s, Podhoretz
converted to neo-conservatism late in the decade and transformed the magazine
into a main source of neo-conservative writing, despite the overwhelming
majority of the Jewish community itself rejecting those positions.
-
- Podhoretz and his spouse, Midge Decter, a polemical
powerhouse in her own right, created a formidable political team in the
1970s as they deserted the Democratic Party, and then, as leaders of the
Committee on the Present Danger - like PNAC a coalition of mainly Jewish,
neo-conservatives and more traditional right-wing hawks like Defence Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld - helped lay the foreign-policy foundation for the rise
of Ronald Reagan. After Reagan's victory, Decter and Rumsfeld co- chaired
the international offshoot of the committee, called the Coalition for the
Free World.
-
- Podhoretz is the father of John Podhoretz, a columnist
for the Murdoch-owned New York Post, who also acts as a ubiquitous booster
of the hawks. And his son-in-law, Elliott Abrams, who held a number of
controversial posts in Reagan's State Department and was eventually convicted
in the Iran-Contra scandal for lying to Congress, now serves in Bush's
National Security Council as his top Middle East adviser.
-
- At Commentary, Podhoretz offered considerable space
to such rising lights of the neo-conservative movement as future UN ambassador
Jeane Kirkpatrick (whose late husband Evron was a long-time collaborator
of Irving Kristol); Richard Pipes, a Harvard University Soviet specialist
and top Reagan adviser; Pipes' son, Daniel, a staunch Likud supporter who
has long argued that Washington has been too complacent about the threat
of Islamist radicalism both overseas and at home; and all of the Kristols
and Kagans.
-
- Another key Irving Kristol disciple has been Richard
Perle, the influential and ultra-hawkish chairman of Rumsfeld's Defence
Policy Board, whose main office is at AEI, where PNAC and William Kristol
are also based. His spouse is the daughter of his teacher at the University
of Chicago, another neo-con hero and strategic thinker who also favoured
invading Iraq, the late Alfred Wohlstetter, for whom the AEI conference
centre is named. Wohlstetter also taught Deputy Defence Secretary Paul
Wolfowitz.
-
- Perle has worked closely in the past with Douglas Feith,
Wolfowitz's deputy as undersecretary of defence for policy under Rumsfeld
and known as the administration's most ardent Likud supporter.
-
- Feith's father, Dalck, a Philadelphia businessman and
philanthropist, was a follower of Betar, the militant Zionist movement
that became Likud in Poland in the 1930s.
-
- Perle, Feith, and another AEI "scholar", David
Wurmser, and his wife Meyrav, in 1996 co-authored a memorandum for Likud
leader Binyamin Netanyahu on breaking with the Oslo peace process and transforming
the Middle East by working to oust Saddam Hussein, a paper which bears
a remarkable resemblance to the ideas set forth in the Sept 20 PNAC letter.
-
- David Wurmser is now a special adviser in the State
Department planning for post-invasion Iraq, while Meyrav works with the
Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI) that translates and distributes
particularly virulent anti-US and anti-Israel articles appearing in the
Arab press to key US media and policy- makers.
-
- AEI has been a major nexus for these inter-familial
relationships, having served as home to Michael Ledeen, a co- founder with
Perle of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) whose
wife Barbara is a major player in the rightwing Republican leadership on
Capitol Hill; Jeane Kirkpatrick; and Joshua Muravchik, whose father, Emanuel,
was also close to Podhoretz as he moved rightward through the 1970s.
-
- Though she doesn't focus much on foreign-policy issues,
Lynne Cheney, the vice president's wife, also hangs her hat at AEI, while
the vice president's daughter Elizabeth is now serving as deputy secretary
of state for near east affairs.
-
- While the Cheneys, unlike the mostly Jewish neo-conservatives
who began their political evolution on the left, have always been rock-
ribbed, right wing, Rocky Mountain Republicans, it appears that they have
joined the larger family or are at least tying their family fortunes together.
