BAD INFLUENCE

 

For more than a year there have been repeated instances of conflicts between police and citizens in the United States of America. The most widely reported instances have involved police and African American citizens. The conflicts between police and many of these African American citizens have involved lethal force by police against citizens, often resulting in organized protests by relatives, friends and concerned citizens. The major media has often given national coverage to these events. Naturally, local media have joined in the coverage where appropriate.

Although the conflicts have seemed particularly vivid as shown on television, as they often involved rioting, the police-citizen conflicts have been occurring regularly over the years. These conflicts between police and African Americans have especially planted seeds of resentment in predominantly African American neighborhoods, which periodically bear fruit in the form of rioting.

Furthermore, the conflicts that arise often seem to be over relatively trivial matters. Police have been shown repeatedly trying to enforce issues at law that have little weight in and of themselves. Bored legislators are always up to amuse themselves with a silly law that no one seriously expects a police officer to enforce. Yet, the experience historically is that there are police who will try to enforce them – again, perhaps out of boredom. When police stop a citizen to try to enforce a silly law, anger may be fueled, as the matter becomes an issue of wills more than at law.

Everyone wants police to enforce fundamentally weighty issues at law, such as would result from armed robbery, aggravated assaults, domestic violence, burglary, et al, where direct or indirect injury to the citizen is involved. Yet, one can visit YouTube on the Internet and regularly see video where police use excessive force, including kicking at citizens already on the ground. What could possibly be causing American police to “go off” on a citizen?

The matter engendered in me today an association that may well be a factor.

For many years, now, I have rather regularly seen on television, or read about in a lesser news outlet, or viewed on the Internet scenes of violent conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. The Israelis have such a disproportionate military might relative to the Palestinians that all conflicts have been settled according to terms dictated by Israeli military might. The victors hold the losers in derision. The humiliated losers exist with simmering anger and in an impoverished state, which condition, when cruelly provoked again and again, engenders periodic, riotous outbursts.

For many years now, I have been aware that the Israeli state invited American fedcops, such as FBI agents, Homeland Security agents, etc., to be the guests of the IDF, Mossad, etc., who would share Israeli techniques for handling terrorists, rioting Palestinians, and the like. Undoubtedly, the Israelis have developed new tools for quelling angry mobs and extracting answers from prisoners, which American law enforcement agencies might want to consider for use in their own jurisdiction.

Along with invitations to federal law-enforcement agencies, the Israelis have also invited police officers, usually in leadership positions, and county sheriffs from various states of the United States. Therefore, over the years, a significant number of American law-enforcement people have been indoctrinated by the Israeli military, police and intelligence forces in the way the Israelis do business in the arena of “keeping the peace.”

Needless to say, the Israelis would not be doing this without motivation to an end. Schmoozing American lawmen is simply something no one from another country would normally, regularly do – unless they had a good reason.

I might here add a personal supposition that has no known factual basis. The American lawmen go to Israel to ostensibly learn about the Israeli approach to enforcing the laws of Israel, hoping to glean something that could usefully be applied in their work in America. They are also treated to some sightseeing and entertainment by their hosts. I believe that the Israelis probably intentionally provide the opportunity for drunkenness. I believe that it is likely that certain American lawmen have been targeted, based on previously obtained dossiers which have been psychologically analyzed for useful weaknesses.

How might such “targeting” by used by Israelis?

If a selected American lawman were taken on a tour of, say, Tel-a-Viv, by his new Israeli pals, he just might be taken to a “tootsie house” for fun-n-games. Needless to say, the whole house would be filled with clandestine cameras. The Israelis might then introduce the intoxicated American lawman to an attractive, willing “female” friend, carefully leaving them alone. The trained tootsie would, if successful, seduce the American into sex. The cameras would clearly reveal all. Next day, the Israelis would assure him that they would protect their American friend from any of the events of the night before getting into the “wrong hands.” They would share sympathetically his apprehension that it might “get out.” They would assure him that so long as the Israelis could count on his being their friend, he was completely protected. The lawman would go back to America, vaguely aware that he had just sold his soul to the devil.

If one multiplied this hypothetical American by, perhaps, forty years of Israelis hosting American lawmen, then one can see a substantial part of American lawmen being unduly influenced by their Israeli counterparts.

Back in the days of slavery in the Western Hemisphere, Jews developed a successful, enriching triangle of business. Some Jews would obtain African slaves from a tribal leader whose people practiced limited slavery. He would be paid well enough that he’d order his “soldiers” to get more slaves from other nearby tribes. Meanwhile, the merchant Jews transported the obtained slaves to sugarcane plantations, which other Jews had started or subsequently obtained. In time the slave-trading merchants would sell their slaves for sugarcane in a barter operation. This sugarcane would then be taken to rum distilleries in Rhode Island, where they were bartered for kegs of rum. The kegs of rum were taken to West Africa and exchanged for slaves. Thus, the profitable cycle of the triangular business arrangement would continue to grow.

I suspect that the Israelis have in mind another beneficial triangular scheme in mind by importing American lawmen, teaching them the Israeli way of doing things, and sending them back to America to practice what the Israelis teach. The Israelis may be using these American lawmen as a sort of Trojan Horse by which to gain a better hold on the USA. Although it is not clearly worked out in my mind, I do believe that, as American military men and intelligence people seem to be invited over to Israel for conferences on matters of mutual interest as well (and feted and schmoozed), perhaps the third leg of the “triangle” is located in the northern Levant.

However that tangential issue finally plays out, the immediate ramification of American federal and local lawmen going to Israel to learn how the Israelis quell problems with Palestinians may have an important bearing on why American cops seem to use brutal and even lethal force on African American citizens all too quickly.
