Israeli lobby ultimate winner of US election: Analyst

NOVANEWS
An interview with former US Senate candidate, Mark Dankof
We are looking at more debt; we’re looking at more overextension of military empire; we’re looking at more irresponsible foreign policy and interventionist foreign policy abroad. We are looking at crumbling economic and cultural infrastructure from within in the United States regardless of who wins this election….This is all a prescription for gridlock and this gridlock is going to facilitate the ongoing control of the American political and economic process by the usual players, the bankers and your other guests have already cited that very well, the oil and natural gas consortiums and other multinational corporations and the Israeli lobby.”
Regardless of who wins the US presidential election, the country is controlled by bankers, oil consortiums and the Israeli lobby and headed for more debt, military adventurism and interventionist foreign policy, says an analyst.

Press TV has conducted an interview with former US Senate candidate, Mark Dankof, to further discuss the issue.
The program also offers the opinions of two other guests: Occupy movement organizer, Mark Mason and activist and Occupy movement protester, Caleb Maupin.
What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.
Press TV: Mark Dankof, you hear that amount (money spent on campaign for US presidential elections), what do you think? I mean obviously looking at the amount of money that’s being poured in the first question that comes to mind favors need to be returned, tell us what you think when for example Romney’s top donors are Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley?
Dankof Well, it tells you everything that you need to know, and just as a microcosm of the larger problem take a look at [America’s eighth-wealthiest person] Sheldon Adelson, the Zionist owner of the Sands Casino in Vegas and the fact that he was bankrolling Newt Gingrich through these super PACs that supposedly could be legally distanced from the official campaign of Gingrich. He is not doing the same thing for Romney.
Adelson boasted that he is going to put 100 million dollars into this Romney effort through this super PAC and the whole process is a sick joke. It’s bought and paid for and at the end of the day people wonder why both the Republican and Democratic parties in this country are as corrupt as they are. This is clearly at the root of the problem.
Press TV: Mark Dankof, isn’t it interesting that in either of the candidates, the incumbent being Obama and Mitt Romney the candidate there is really not too much talk or emphasis placed on Afghanistan except for Obama perhaps here and there talking about this withdrawal that he has ended two wars. But what’s on the horizon? What are the Americans seeing? A country that is suffering from one of the largest deficits on paper, 14 trillion as is cited. Are they going to be looking for four more years of the same no matter who gets elected?
Dankof: That‘s exactly what it’s going to be and it seems to me that the important thing here is not simply to talk about the 16 or 17 trillion dollar national debt in terms of what’s on budget but the 222 trillion dollar debt in regard to the off budget speaking about both Social Security and Medicare and all of the unfunded liability there.

And then whether you’re looking at Barack Obama who came in four years ago as an anti-war candidate and looks now like a darker skin version of George Bush and Dick Cheney or whether we turn to Mitt Romney who wants to bring defense spending up now to four percent of GDP and who wants obviously a war with Iran even more so than Mr. Obama does, I think this is absolutely hopeless as far as the American people are concerned.

We are looking at more debt; we’re looking at more overextension of military empire; we’re looking at more irresponsible foreign policy and interventionist foreign policy abroad. We are looking at crumbling economic and cultural infrastructure from within in the United States regardless of who wins this election.
The fact of the matter is I’m going to predict that Mr. Obama will win this election despite his record by the skin of his teeth. The Republicans will maintain control of the House of Representatives. There will be roughly a 50/50 split in the senate one way or the other.
This is all a prescription for gridlock and this gridlock is going to facilitate the ongoing control of the American political and economic process by the usual players, the bankers and your other guests have already cited that very well, the oil and natural gas consortiums and other multinational corporations and the Israeli lobby.
I think it’s obvious when you put that together who the winners are the losers and for the average American, right, left or center who is a decent person and who is not in on any of this, he or she is the ultimate loser as well as millions of innocent people around the world whose lives are being destroyed by these policies too.
Press TV: The fact, Mark Dankof, that this lack of admittance by the parties regarding these serious issues, of course unemployment perhaps based on some analysts ranks at the top of the list but looking at the quality of life in the United States, I’m sure you’ve heard for the past four weeks now there is some high profile shootings that have taken place by the Empire State Building; there was one in Old Bridge in New Jersey, prior to that again in New York City there was a man that was running around with a knife and four weeks in a row not to mention what happened in Chicago.
And of course these are the ones that are getting reported. I mean these issues got to get addressed and perhaps the Occupy movement is one of the best portrayals of many different areas that Americans have disgruntled to say the least. Why aren’t these, either the incumbent Obama or Mitt Romney addressing Occupy movement topics?
Dankof: Well, I think your other guests have already answered that question better than I. When you look at the people who bankroll them, who own them and who own their parties, it’s very obvious why they are not addressing these kinds of issues.
When it comes to these recent shootings in the United States as I argued on the Fars News Agency Program quite some time ago and subsequently on Press TV, I personally believe that the biggest problem in the United States is that the drug and sexual revolutions of the 1960s have produced a level of family destruction and a level of immorality and violence in the United States that now taken in conjunction with this economic downturn has produced an increasing climate of lawlessness and an increasing climate of anarchy in hate, in desperation that I think has facilitated many of these tragedies.
The truly frightening thing to me is that I fully suspect that there is going to be a major diversionary tactic undertaken either by Barack Obama or by Mitt Romney, depending on who the big handlers are going to decide is in fact going to win this election in November.

The fact of the matter is the diversionary tactic is going to be in my view a lighter war in the Middle East, whether there is a false flag incident in the United States or in the Persian Gulf, it gets started, the fact of the matter is that since they have no answers for the average American in regard to the economy, in regard to jobs, in regard to deficits, in regard to societal and cultural disintegration degeneracy, the one thing that they can offer is a diversionary war using a diversionary issue just as 9/11 I argue was used for that.

In 2001 we are going to see a bigger version of that this time in this country or abroad to get us on the next phase of this insane policy of being involved in these ongoing imperial wars in the Middle East whereas as your other guests have already pointed out the winners in that will be the winners that we always see in these wars and that’s the bankers.
