The Chief of Staff had been part of the White House pantomime of supposedly opposing Israeli settlement building, while legislation – initiated and backed by the insufferable AIPAC – was in the pipeline for a trade bill that would contain a provision lumping together Israel and “Israeli-controlled territories.” So even though such legislation would contravene longstanding U.S. policy towards Israel and the occupied territories, including Israel’s illegal settlement activity, the President would sign the bill. Dubbed as The Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act, the bill was designed to strengthen enforcement rules, address currency manipulation, and bolster efforts to block evasions of trade laws. The bill would also include a clause addressing politically motivated acts to limit or prohibit economic relations with Israel by targeting corporate entities or state-affiliated financial institutions who engaged in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
The provision would place the U.S. firmly on record as opposing BDS and supporting enhanced commercial ties between the U.S. and Israel while passing into law solid anti-BDS negotiating objectives for American trade negotiators. Furthermore, within 180 days of the bill becoming law, the US administration would be obliged to report to the Congress on global BDS activities, including the participation of foreign companies in political boycotts of the Jewish state. Apart from providing legal protections for U.S. companies operating in Israel, the bill would also conflate Israel proper with contested occupied Palestinian territories contrary to long-standing hypocritical U.S. policy stipulating that settlement activity was an obstacle to achieving peace and a two-state solution.
The extent of the AIPAC-led pro-Israel lobby’s control of the U.S. Congress became evident when even the much cherished First Amendment of the Constitution – “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” – was threatened by Congresspeople with one vowing to destroy the mounting grassroots BDS campaign against Israel by pledging to weaken the First Amendment: “Free speech is being used in our country to denigrate Israel and we need to actively fight against that … ”
The President – whom more than 90 percent of Israeli people disliked – was accustomed to this kind Congressional pandering to Israel whose Jewish population while mostly claiming to favour a two-state solution, and thus, Palestinian statehood, was actually lying to pollsters and disliked the President because of fear that he might be serious about ending Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and the blockade of Gaza. Consequently, though Israeli fears – of Iran, of rocket attacks, of world isolation and abandonment – were hardly plausible, such fears nonetheless served both as a source of consolation for Israel’s collective conscience and as justification for its continued occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people.
“What are they up to now?” The president asked as he finished reading the media reports and moving on to the PDB which the Chief of Staff had made a point of always reading first and which contained the report of suspicions that the Israeli secret service had been behind a series of mysterious yet highly sophisticated cyber-spying attacks on decisive negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme held at luxury hotels across Europe between Iran and the P5+1 nations of China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, plus Germany. Swiss security agents had raided Geneva’s luxury President Wilson hotel – where some of the talks were held – and as suspected, discovered evidence of Israeli cyber spying.
After having eventually finished reading the daily briefing, the President sank wearily in his executive black leather high back chair with a sense of frustration. Following his reelection for a second term in 2012, the President had expressed the view that “We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this world has ever known, but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.” Despite the proclamation of such noble sentiments about “freedom and dignity for every human being,” the reality was that with American aid and complicity, “freedom and dignity” were still being denied to the Palestinian people after almost 70 years.
The President had long been reconciled to the fact – irrespective how many international and human rights laws Israel violated – that so long as AIPAC continued to have the American government by the balls, then the U.S. would continue with American taxpayer money to provide unconditional support for a racist Apartheid state whose arrogant conduct with boundless impunity on the international stage was intended to dispossess the Palestinian people of their land so as to facilitate illegal Jewish settlement in keeping with Zionism’s ideological objective for a “Greater Israel.” Despite all that, more than half of all U.S. global aid was given to Israel.
Even worse than the betrayal of the American people by its politicians, was the surrender of the great American Dream – Democracy, Rights, Liberty, Opportunity, and Equality – by the American people themselves: a people who tended to subscribe to the ideology of American Exceptionalism; a people of whom according to a Gallup/Harris poll, a full 73 percent were incapable of identifying their home country – let alone the location of other countries – on a map; a people no longer capable of accepting any irrefutable fact that did not conform with their own blinkered bias; a people devoid of the capacity to think beyond their indoctrination by a mainstream media of which 90 percent was controlled by only six corporations either owned or run by Jewish interests; a people no longer prepared to ask difficult questions or to regard obvious government and media propaganda and lies with suspicion; a people nurtured on racial antagonism and the need for constant wars against the ever present and deviously fabricated “threats” of terrorism; a people whom the rest of the world regarded as the greatest threat to human rights and the attainment of global peace; and a people who had lost all moral and political perspectives of how they, as a “superpower,” should by their own example be leading and benefiting the rest of humanity.
Despite the status and trappings of his position, the Chief of staff had decided to tender his resignation because of disillusionment and a troubled conscience which cried out for unshackled governance with integrity where in the corridors of power the anguished wails of “We the People” would not be drowned out by the corrupting whispers of bribe-laden special interest lobbyists: lobbyists whose democracy subverting influence had been further enhanced by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling (a 5 to 4 decision) that struck down the limit on the total amount of money wealthy donors could contribute to candidates and political committees. So now, more than ever before, the millionaire/billionaire one-percenters could buy politicians and control government policies to the detriment of the vast majority who had yet to learn that the only difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that with the latter you don’t have to waste time by going to the ballot box.
Foggy Bottom Neighbourhood, Washington, D.C.
It was evening and in the sitting room where – having already melodiously mellowed the mood with Kaori Kobayashi’s jazz saxophone sounds – the digital music system was now playing her Nothing Gonna Change My Love for You. The previously hovering wisps of cigarette smoke had dispersed leaving only the faint but distinct gaseous aroma of incinerated Virginia tobacco; the crystal champagne flutes from which a 2004 vintage had been sipped, lay empty on the ornate glass top coffee table next to the drained and upturned bottle in the silver plated ice bucket; and as a final flourish to the love nest setting, a trail of hurriedly discarded items of male and female designer clothing led from the black soft leather sectional sofa to the bedroom where on the upholstered bed the naked couple were pressed hard against each other in
a passionate embrace.
The brunette’s sun-bed tanned curvaceous hourglass figure was firm with a good muscle tone indicating regular workouts and attention to diet. Her impressively proportioned bust and hips were matched by a beautifully defined waist that gracefully curved down and outwards towards those hips which were perfectly aligned with gently rounded shoulders framing sizeable but nonetheless perky breasts. Her rounded bottom was symmetrical with the beautiful side and front profiles of an upper body that matched the length of her raunchily shaped legs. Every enticing inch of her was a picture of balance, harmony, and ethereal sensuality.
The middle-aged man on the other hand was carrying some flab that was more pronounced around his slightly sagging midriff. Despite that, his body had retained some vestige of what must have once been a fine physique before the ravages of time and debauched living had taken their toll. Nonetheless, like most men in positions of power he had an overactive libido which coupled with with the confidence that came with his position made him recklessly willing to chance his luck against the odds of having his illicit encounters being discovered irrespective of how, when, where, or with whom they might occur. Because of this perceived omnipotence he invariably assumed that other people would always do his bidding so that sexual compliance from women – who were in any case fascinated by men in positions of power – was something he expected and took for granted. The phenomenon was not restricted to men but was equally applicable to women of prominence for whom having authority over others was also the ultimate aphrodisiac.
The brunette suddenly tossed her head back, provocatively disengaging her tongue from their torrid embrace and instead began to kiss him gently as she worked her way downwards from his chin towards his crotch where her darting tongue taunted, teased, and titillated his testicles and caused his aroused manhood to throb with salacious expectation. Such expectation was then rewarded as she lightly stroked his upstanding manhood with well manicured fingernails while her lascivious tongue and lips performed sensual magic on one who was undoubtedly the promiscuous husband of a probably outwardly demure but socially ambitious hellcat of a wife whose priorities did not include nurturing or enhancing marital sexuality.
After what seemed like an age of agonising concupiscence for the man, the woman straddled him in a kneeling position, held his erection in her right hand and used it to gently massage her vulval lips which were already moist with the anticipation of welcoming his well endowed manhood into the pleasurable depths of her femininity. She could not help but smile to herself as she recalled her teenage years and wondered what Rabbi Amos Rosenfeld – a family friend and frequent visitor to their Brooklyn home – would have thought of her now. He used to frequently remind her that irrespective of what she chose to do in life, to always make sure she was in control and on top of any situation: which was precisely what she was now doing as she determined the position, the pace, and the procedure by which she would transport this besotted and deluded individual to that realm of coital cornucopia which most men dream about but very few actually experience.
As his breathing quickened and his moans grew more desperate, she finally relented and slowly but surely lowered herself onto his throbbing penis which she enveloped with her warm and wet love nest. There was no way this was going to be some casual wham, bam, thank you mam encounter because she had spent months using Ben Wa balls to conscientiously exercise her vaginal muscles so as to become an expert in the art of vaginal muscle control which many Oriental women had mastered as part of becoming highly proficient lovers. She could now hold a man’s penis tightly with her vagina; she could by powerfully squeezing and releasing his penis give him the vaginal equivalent of fellatio; she could delay his ejaculation if he was about to reach the point of climax prematurely; and she could use her vaginal muscles to pleasure him in a variety of amazing and mind-blowing ways – and she did.
The fact that they were both virtually motionless on the bed belied the extent of their euphoria because despite the apparent lack of robust movement, all her well exercised vaginal muscles were delivering tidal waves of gratification to every sinew of the man’s body whose head was now intoxicated with sheer, unadulterated rapture. As their rate of breathing quickened and the sound of their triumphant moans heightened, so too did the pace of the vaginal contractions whose pleasure providing effects were further enhanced by the woman’s subtle but sensational circular movement of the hips.
Under the circumstances even the strongest of wills would have failed to stem the irresistible onrush of a jubilant climax and as this couple’s fevered passion hurtled towards a sexual Armageddon, he clasped her hips tightly with both hands and responded to her enthusiastic acceleration of movement with macho-impelled thrusts that were deep, hard, and rapid. With each thrust her body convulsed with a long, loud, exultant shriek akin to that of a woman giving birth to a child. Their bodies arched and writhed wildly against each other as they sought to wring out every last smidgeon of sensual satisfaction from their physical endeavours until finally with a fanfare of frenzied sighs and squeals an explosion of unimaginable delight engulfed them and left them drained in a crumpled heap on the sweat and semen soaked Egyptian cotton bed sheet. Though such clandestine trysts were often a necessary part of the brunette’s work, it was not work that she in any way regarded with abhorrence.
While tens of thousands of other potentially dangerous liaisons were simultaneously being played out within hotel rooms and private accommodations in different cities, towns, and villages all over the world, this particular one had taken place in Washington DC’s Watergate Complex: a notorious address where corporate predators, Machiavellian miscreants, and an “I am not a crook” U.S. president had in the past met their Waterloos due to some caper, criminality, or cloak-and-dagger conspiracy.
The satisfied but now exhausted man dozed off momentarily, blissfully oblivious to the fact that the evening’s sexual shenanigans were not an unwitting and incidental progression from last week’s chance encounter with the brunette, but part of a predetermined scheme carefully orchestrated and executed as the direct consequence of world events including a spate of what many people regarded as being long overdue decisions recognising the historical existence of a Palestinian people who were deserving of justice, human rights, and a state of their own. Such decisions – despite furious Israeli threats accompanied by the inevitable endless reminders of the Holocaust – had recently included recognition of Palestinian statehood by a number of European nations; the provision of Palestinian observer status at the International Criminal Court (ICC); a vote of recognition by the European parliament; and the Geneva Conventions’ invocation of Palestinian rights by 126 countries urging Israel to halt illegal settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The Geneva Conventions which governed the rules of war and military occupation had not on this occasion been attended by Australia, Canada, or the U.S.A. – countries whose far from exemplary past colonial governance had included racial discrimination, rampant exploitation, and heartless ill-treatment of indigenous populations which in some cases constituted premeditated genocide. Such overtly pro-Palestinian developments were now threatening to delay, or perhaps even completely thwart the Judaic dream of erecting the “Third Temple” in accordance with the biblical prophecy of Ezekiel.
Consequently drastic measures were required including the ramping up of hasbara – a Hebrew word literally meaning “explanation,” but actually covering a wide range of propaganda activities promoting the positive aspects of Israel as a counter to negative press and public perceptions – to reinforce the misconception that Israel was “the only democracy in the Middle East” and had only been “defending itself” with “the most moral army in the world” during last summer’s brutal destruction of Palestinian life and property in Gaza with overwhelming state of the art weaponry against a people without a single tank, warship, or fighter jet aircraft with which to defend themselve

Nonetheless Israel would continue through its powerful Zionist Jewish lobby organisations to reinforce its tactic of gagging anyone who spoke up and actively opposed Israeli policies; would continue to push for Jewish lobby inspired legislation criminalising criticism of Israel; would continue to oppose and undermine pro-Palestinian activist criticism of the Jewish state’s enforcement of Apartheid; and would continue to maintain its modus operandi of blackmail, bribery, and bullying supported by false flag operations to retain Western collusion in the deliberate rewriting of a Jewish history from one that portrayed Jews as being dependent and at the mercy of others, to one that instead had Jews as being independent and in control of their own destiny in a Jewish state whose establishment and survival necessitated gradually but positively denying the Palestinian people of their own history and homeland so as to forcibly and illegally facilitate the expansion of Jewish settlement.
Many observers and commentators had noted that during its pursuit of that goal, Israel had developed a righteous “self-defence” philosophy that combined all elements of military occupation and law enforcement to oppress the Palestinian people. It was a philosophy that had come to personify the character of settler Israeli Jews and their racist mentality as a “chosen people” exempt from accountability for their actions. Another consequence of this righteousness was the growth of a state of the art military-security industrial Goliath voraciously dependent on trade with other countries for whom population pacification was also an essential necessity for their governments. As far as the Israelis were concerned, it mattered not to whom they sold their tools of death and destruction – including governments who tortured, terrorised, murdered, or were even anti-Semitic – so long as such sales served to make a profit and forged alliances with those rogue states so as to curtail their criticism of Israeli policies.
