The Case of James Forrestal and the Take Downs of Real America Firsters
January 30, 2023 | By Russ Winter
"I am more and more impressed by the fact that it is largely futile to get up and make statements about current problems. At the same time, I know that silent acquiescence to evil is also out of the question." –– Thomas Merton (1915 – 1968)
More than occasionally, top-ranking Americans who are not Israel Firsters are taken out. It seems the preferred method to get rid of the "uncooperative" is a character assassination. Case in point was Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, who was slated to become President Bill Clinton's Secretary of Defense in 1994. Inman’s downfall followed his comments such as this:
"Israeli spies have done more harm and have damaged the United States more than the intelligence agents of all other countries on earth combined … They are the gravest threat to our national security."Neocon Zionist media operatives got Inman to withdraw and go home by calling him a "conspiracy theorist" and a kook. This was spearheaded by The New York Times (aka New York Slimes) Jewish columnist William Safire. It is generally believed that he was also threatened. Later in 2006, Inman was further marginalized by the usual suspects for criticizing the Bush administration's use of warrantless domestic wiretaps.
Admiral Inman at least escaped with his life. Perhaps the most well-known America Firster to meet a suspicious fate was James Forrestal. His 1944-1949 diaries were published in 1951; they are insightful, coming from an powerful insider. He was U.S. Navy Under Secretary from 1940 and Secretary for Defense from 1947 to 1949.
After the war, Forrestal urged Truman to take a hard line with the Soviets over Poland. He also strongly influenced the new Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy concerning infiltration of the government by Communists. In McCarthy's words, "Before meeting with Jim Forrestal, I thought we were losing to international Communism because of incompetence and stupidity on the part of our planners. I mentioned that to Forrestal. I shall forever remember his answer. He said, "McCarthy, consistency has never been a mark of stupidity. If they were merely stupid, they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor." Clearly the experienced Forrestal was not buying into the bogus Hanlon's Razor of "never attribute to malice, what could be explained by stupidity."
During private cabinet meetings with President Truman in 1946 and 1947, Forrestal favored a federalization plan for Palestine, with which at first Truman concurred. Truman then received threats to cut off campaign contributions from wealthy donors, as well as hate mail and an assassination attempt. Appalled by the intensity and implied threats over the partition question, Forrestal stated to J. Howard McGrath, senator from Rhode Island:
"… No group in this country should be permitted to influence our policy to the point it could endanger our national security."I draw your attention to several revealing Forrestal diary notations:
Feb. 3, 1948 (pages 362 and 363): "Visit today from Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., who came in with strong advocacy of a Jewish State in Palestine, that we should support the United Nations 'decision,' I pointed out that the United Nations had as yet taken no 'decision,' that it was only a recommendation of the General Assembly and that I thought the methods that had been used by people outside of the Executive branch of the government to bring coercion and duress on other nations in the General Assembly bordered closely onto scandal … I said I was merely directing my efforts to lifting the question out of politics; that is, to have the two parties agree that they would not compete for votes on this issue.
"He said this was impossible, that the nation was too far committed and that, furthermore, the Democratic Party would be bound to lose and the Republicans gain by such an agreement. I said I was forced to repeat to him what I had said to Senator McGrath in response to the latter’s observation that our failure to go along with the Zionists might lose the states of New York, Pennsylvania and California — that I thought it was about time that somebody should pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United States."
The entry for Feb. 3, 1948, continues (page 364): "Had lunch with Mr. (((B. M. Baruch))). After lunch raised the same question with him. He took the line of advising me not to be active in this particular matter, and that I was already identified, to a degree that was not in my own interest, with opposition to the United Nations policy on Palestine."

This is the kind of power the tribe has to "subdue their enemies":
Consider the Jewish Blinken's position towards Russia when he left a message for Russia's Sergey Lavrov through Blinken's Egyptian counterpart. Setting the agreement telling Lavrov "Russia must leave" when Russia is smashing through Ukraine's military.
