Joel Skousen –
Economic and Personal Security Analyst
Destination Yisra’el – Now that the Israeli elections are now over, it is time to ruminate what the next three years hold for Israel and the rest of the religious world. In terms of prophetic history, there are many pointers that are indicating that we have until Rosh Hashanah-Succot 2017 for the coming and revealing of the Maschiah ben Dovid (Messiah son of David).
Looking through the eyes and intelligence of one of the longest reigning high security, strategic relocation, and self-sufficiency experts in the world with a love for Israel, but a pessimism of the Jewish governments that have been the guiding forces of Israeli politics.
We invite you to read Joel Skousen’s opinion on the coming Netanyahu government. Trained in political science, philosophy of law and Constitutional theory (America Constitution the only constitution based on Torah Law), he gives his political scientist opinion on Netanyahu and the Israeli political system that will have to be reformed, not necessarily before, but by the Messiah of Israel when he makes his international and epic awakening debut. We invite you to read the following:
************
Joel Skousen – “Israeli politics are fraught with deception, corruption and manipulation. Various Israeli presidents and prime ministers have been prosecuted for sexual misconduct, and most have been charged with taking illegal campaign contributions from foreign entities. It doesn’t matter if they are politicians on the Left (labor), the Right (Likud) or the supposed centrist parties like Kadima. They are all corrupt and only feign to represent different parts of the political spectrum.
While virtually all high level leaders in Israel are corrupt; only those whose sins were too blatant and too public to be covered up are convicted; which means very few. Most notably, Israeli President Moshe Katsav, a coalition member of the Likud, was convicted of sexual predation on women subordinates and even he got off with only 7 years imprisonment. The rest have been protected by a system of promised immunity carried out by controlled judges and investigative panels selected by the Israeli parliament—just as in the US. It’s a rigged system masquerading as democracy.
The smaller religious parties on the Right are often bought off by larger parties who need them to form the necessary majority so essential to a parliamentary system where no party can lead until amassing at least 51% of the representatives. Unlike the US which has a winner-take-all voting system that preserves our power within two parties because it gives nothing for coming in third or fourth, the parliamentary system gives smaller parties more power than their numbers would normally allow since larger parties desperately need their support to form a coalition government with a majority.
No party in Israel even comes close to an outright majority. Thus, smaller parties wield tremendous power when they have just enough votes to keep a coalition in power. They can bring down the entire government at any time by withdrawing their support during a vote of no-confidence, which can be called at any time.
While this is good for political diversity, it guarantees that tremendous pressure will be brought to bear on the smaller parties—often involving blackmail or buying off party leaders with money and government positions, or both. In Israel, smaller religious parties like Shaz have historically been corrupted by either money from larger coalition partners, or promises of tax funds for religious schools and settlements. Only the most ideological and ultra-orthodox of the smallest parties (who don’t offer enough votes to matter) avoid this corruption—and even then there is pressure.
But perhaps the biggest fraud is the misuse of political terms describing the political orientation of the larger parties. Don’t be deceived by media pronouncements that certain parties are on the“Left, Right, or Center.”
Only those deemed on the Left are somewhat accurately described (the Labor Party is the largest block on the Left) due to the degree that Marxism and socialism played in the labor movement that dominated Israel for the first 30 years of its existence. Few American supporters of Israel know that Marxist labor unions have had a virtual lock on Israeli jobs, bureaucracies and land policies for decades.
Even the Kibbutz system of colonization and settlement was an outgrowth of Marxist communal doctrines and was particularly anti-family. For years it had a rigid policy of separating children from parents and raising them in communal nurseries and kindergartens. Family life was discouraged and eventually free loaders (common to all communal systems) forced leadership to include performance requirements that were linked to benefits.
The system was an economic success only because of the availability of cheap, volunteer labor from the many left-leaning immigrants whose only choice for housing was the Kibbutzim. Eventually, changes were demanded that allowed for more family life and less communal strictness. New types ofcooperative settlements eventually emerged which fostered more freedom and performance requirements linked to a sense of ownership. Currently, many immigrants find housing in the private sector as well as government settlements provided to buy their allegiance.
Yes, the Labor Party is fully socialist, but leftist supporters of Israel
around the world would be shocked to find out how the Labor movement has been
controlled by European globalists directed by communists operating under
Socialist International—a Moscow front.
The ideological Left in America and Europe regularly protest against globalist
financial manipulation at the G20 meetings, but fail to see its insidious control
over Israel’s Labor Party.
The leftist base of the Labor Party is also dismayed at how often Labor joins with Likud, the supposed “Right wing opposition” or with centrist Kadima party in forming a “unity government” This unification of the two biggest parties only makes sense when you understand that they are controlled by the same foreign interests and that Likud PM Netanyahu wants to avoid bringing into his Left/Right coalition any of the more ideological smaller parties on the far Right that would demand even more conservative concessions as a condition of their support. That tells us a lot about how hostile Netanyahu is to the principles of the Right.
The real truth is that neither Labor, Likud nor Kadima Parties are on the respective Left, Right or Center. They are all controlled by globalists and only feign political allegiance to their various constituencies. Current Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, in particular, is a grand deceiver, a globalist masquerading as a right wing leader.
Netanyahu is a protégé of globalist mastermind Henry Kissinger and his coterie of US associates in government and Wall Street. Kissinger and friends paid for Netanyahu’s Ivy League education and got him his first job in the financial sector on Wall Street. While still young the establishment players engineered his entrance into politics in Israel by having him host an international conference on terrorism in Israel which was graced by some of the most powerful people in the US foreign policy establishment.
From that point on Netanyahu was viewed as an influential up-and-coming leader, who had access to the halls of power in the West. Indeed he did, and thus became a sought-after commodity in the right wing circles of the Likud. Bibi always gave support to the settler movement, but equally as often betrayed them when international pressure was applied. During his first term as Prime Minister in the 1990s he signed the Wye Agreement which also compromised the settlers in exchange for another phony “peace” agreement.
Settlement policy is a big thing in Israel because there has always been a housing shortage for new Jewish immigrants coming in from foreign lands. For this reason, the Right in Israel has always been a sucker for any politician promising to protect settlements and allow new ones to be built. The settler movement has traditionally been the most conservative sector of Israeli politics, but in recent years it has become totally infiltrated with false conservative leaders masquerading as pro-settlement, but who always talk their followers into unwise compromises when dealing with government threats to disband them.
This is what movement leaders did when PM Ariel Sharon made the treasonous decision to evict all the Jewish settlements from the coastal settlements in the Gaza strip in the name of peace with the Arabs, who are still a majority in the Gaza strip. Because of the constant threat of attack by Palestinians, Jewish settlements on the Gaza coast, like Gush Katif and others, had to be protected at a significant cost to the Israeli military. The benefit, however, was found in the fact that the military was also forced to keep open a defensible road to the coast which effectively cut Gaza in half, severely hampering terrorists and guerrilla operations in the northern sector—the preferred attack point into Israel itself. Weapons, rockets and explosives have long been smuggled in from the southern border with Egypt. After the Israeli government betrayed their own people in Gaza, Arab fighters had free and easy access to northern Rocket launching sites.
Once the Sharon government drove out the Jews at gunpoint and handed over their properties and businesses to the Arab nothing has prospered and the area is in disrepair. Terror and rocket attacks from the northern strip have increased many times over. You can’t tell me they couldn’t have foreseen this evil. It was not simply stupid, but planned.
The government betrayed every promise it made to the dispossessed settlers. They failed to compensate them fully for the loss of homes and businesses, and the Jews were kept in temporary camps for many years awaiting the promised new housing. Who needs enemies when you have a government like this?
Current Settlement policy: One thing Americans are never told is the real story behind the Netanyahu government’s policy of pushing through new settlements, antagonizing the Palestinians, while driving out other settlers not sponsored by the government. There is a difference between settlers they support and those who they persecute. Both are on former Arab land, what is termed the “Occupied territories.” So there is no difference in terms of violating Arab land rights.
What is different is that the persecuted settlers are usually the most religious and conservative of the Israelis—critics from the Right—similar to constitutional conservatives in America. The government rarely grants them any permits to build settlements legally, even on land that is unoccupied and barren or un-farmable. Yet, they use a pernicious system of giving them“unofficial permission” to build in order to lure them into illegal activity that can later be prosecuted. They even allow them to own automatic weapons for protection against Arab attacks, for a while.
After a few years, when international pressure mounts to remove “illegal settlements,” the government disarms the right wing settlers, leaving them vulnerable to attack. If that doesn’t force them to abandon the “illegal” settlements, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are given orders to drive them out at gunpoint and bulldoze the settlement. Sadly, when you have no rights, only privileges granted by government, it’s hard to not keep following into this trap time and again. I’ve met some of these persecuted settlers and they are often the best people in Israel.
Removing these settlers allows the Israeli government to appear as if it is standing up to international pressure against more settlements—while hypocritically proposing other mainstream settlements. Right-wing governments in Israel will go to the wall to defend large, well-funded settlements the government itself finances. These are then handed out or sold cheaply as political favors to settler organizations that support the current government—clearly a vote-buying scheme.
There are many parallels between the plight of the Israeli Right and conservatives on the Right in America, except that the latter are getting savvier about betrayal. Israeli voters are fooled into believing they have a choice in politics—just as in the US conservatives always think they have a choice for change by voting Republican. But change never comes, even when the Republicans control both houses of Congress such as during the Bush Administration. Likewise, in Israel change never comes, especially when the Prime Minister comes from the Right.
Before Netanyahu came back into power for the second time, Israel was run by one of the most corrupt politicians ever, former General and military “hero” Ariel Sharon—the one who betrayed the Gaza settlements. He too was a globalist who played like a right-wing leader inside the Likud Party, but took his marching orders from Kissinger and others in the globalist cadre. After numerous betrayals of his own party’s positions he could no longer get away with claiming he represented Likud ideals.
Before he could be ousted from the growing rebellion within Likud, he broke with the party and started a “new” right-wing party named Kadima. He took about 1/3 of the more liberal Likud members with him, and got other independents to join with Kadima in order to form a ruling coalition. That kind of instant political change would be impossible in America, but you have to remember that the size of the body politic in Israel is comparable to running the city of Houston. Corruption and control in politics is much easier in such a tiny nation.
Naturally, Sharon brought in the supposed left-wing Labor Party to form a ruling coalition. But Kadima quickly became so liberal it could not even claim to be on the Right anymore. The media covered for this hypocrisy by labeling Kadima Centrist. Eventually, it too lost power after the Kadima Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, was forced to step down over corruption and fraud charges. Olmert eventually was only sentenced for one of the counts against him.
The discrediting of the “Centrist” Kadima party brought Likud and Netanyahu back to power—a move that was very suspicious. How could one of the most powerful leaders get prosecuted when others have escaped for years? Obviously the Israeli PTB removed someone expendable in order to promote Netanyahu, who had a delicate mission to perform: talk Israel into attacking Iran (on behalf of the globalists who intend to remake the entire Middle East under globalist control).
Syria must be taken down first since its retaliatory capacity against Israel is equal to Iran and is geographically much closer. Infowars.com reports that “hacked emails from defense contractor Britam reveal a plan ‘approved by Washington’ and funded by Qatar to stage a chemical weapons attack in Syria and blame it on the Assad regime.” This was to justify direct US and NATO intervention to overthrow Assad—something the globalists have become very impatient about. So far no such weapon has appeared but the globalists don’t seem about to give up.
This week Israel attempted to provoke a retaliation response from Syria and/or Iran. According to the NYT, “American officials said Israel hit a convoy before dawn on Wednesday that was ferrying sophisticated SA-17 antiaircraft missiles to Lebanon. The Syrians and their allies said the target was a research facility in the Damascus suburb of Jamraya.
“It remained unclear Thursday whether there was one strike or two. Also unclear was the research outpost’s possible role in weapons production or storage for Syria or Hezbollah, the militant Lebanese Shiite organization that has long battled with Israel and plays a leading role in the Lebanese government.”
This is clearly an attempt by Israel, with the approval of the US, to provoke Syria into an armed response so that NATO can intervene militarily and finish off Assad’s regime completely. It also explains why Netanyahu deployed the Iron-Dome anti-missile system on the border with Syria earlier this week—in case the provocation worked. So far it looks like Assad isn’t taking the bait. Syria instead is appealing to the UN to make Israel look bad. Syria’s ally Hezbollah is also loathe to stir up conflict with Israel right now. It has enough trouble maintaining calm in Lebanon where civil unrest continues.
These cross-border attacks (first by Turkey last year and now by Israel) are meant to help the Obama Administration evade the blame for starting another war of intervention, of which Americans are growing more and more weary. Of course, the real war will be with Iran after Syria is taken down, and despite all the denials, Israel is fronting for globalist policy makers in the US when it talk tough on Iran and demands for a more “aggressive posture” by the US toward Tehran.
Fewer Israelis are supporting this trumped up war against Iran, which is the reason for the much weaker showing Bibi made in the recent election. While the media pundits were predicting a decisive victory by Netanyahu in last week’s election, he lost significant support and had to cobble together an even more tenuous coalition to remain as Prime Minister.
Predictably, whenever a right-wing president starts to lose popularity, the establishment prepares another in the wing—seemingly out of nowhere. Naftali Bennett is the newcomer with millionaire roots from the USA. Here is some analysis by Barry Chamish, perhaps the only Israeli journalist who understands globalist control within Israel:
Barry Chamish - “Netanyahu wins the Israeli election, a given [though by a slim margin]. But according to the polls, second place is a draw between, supposedly Netanyahu's nemesis, the Labor Party, and his supposed ideological natural partner, Jewish Home Party led by a newcomer from America,Naftali Bennett. As anyone who understands Netanyahu will suppose, as usual, he will make a coalition with Labor. And as anyone who understands how the system works will tell you, Naftali Bennett better hope he does. It's his best hope for survival.
As Bennett rose from the wilderness a few months ago, a few of my readers had grave suspicions of him. Those who know my work will recognize their off-the-beaten-track concerns: Is he a genuine right-winger with a veneer of honesty? Will they take him out in New York next week like they took out Kahane [another true Right Wing leader that was assassinated by government agents]? Or is he yet another CFR-NWO-Shabbatean Raviv-lite operative sent to infiltrate the right? [to understand that complex description I suggest readers get one or more of Barry’s books found at http://www.lulu.com/content/575116].
The appearance on CNN during the first days of the latest 'cycle of violence' made many Israelis proud of Bennett's appearance here 'against' the Arabs. But what they did not know was that it was not someone supporting the Palestinian side but a representative of the CFR, explicitly spelled out on the screen, and that is when I understood that we were not going to be allowed to win this latest 'cycle of violence'. Bennett has no idea who he is talking to when this fellow talks about 'not in Israel's interests'.
But let's not jump beyond the borders of Israel to get to know Bennett. Here is how sympathetic Israeli journalists are covering him: ‘Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett commented Wednesday morning on reports that the White House is deeply concerned about growing support for his party which represents very nationalist interests [the US never supports nationalistic movements—only Left/Liberal globalist movements], and is worried about the potential sway he may have in dealing with issues such as construction in Judea and Samaria and negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
‘The U.S. is concerned, according to Channel 10, that Bennett's strengthening will cause Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in turn, to strengthen the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria [meaning, when right-wing opposition to Netanyahu’s appeasement gets stronger, Bibi will appear to move further to the Right to appease—but it is always a lie].
The London based Independent pointed out that Bennett, who has never held office before ‘has shaken up the campaign to such an extent that Prime Minister Netanyahu has gone on the offensive against Bennett... Polls show that if only those under the age of 35 would be able to vote, The Bayit Yehudi would be the largest party in the country and Naftali Bennett would be Prime Minister! Something new really is beginning here - this is the first time I can remember that it is “cool” to be a proud Zionist [Zionism in Israel refers to religious Zionism—restoring the Jews to their Biblical promised homeland—not the hijacked globalist form of Zionism which is pro-world government and anti-religious. Many American conspiracies falsely label everything globalist as an exclusive Jewish conspiracy, which is technically not true. Simply noting that many globalist leaders are Jews doesn’t mean it’s a Jewish conspiracy based on Jewishness. It happens that particularly ambitious and unprincipled Jews are drawn to globalism because that is the path to real power in the world. But those Jews hate their own heritage and religion, are atheists and are totally dedicated to facilitating a New World Order based upon global power].
In a recent television interview, Bennett remarked that as a soldier he would not obey orders to evacuate settlers from their homes [a rallying cry with the pro-settler movement]. Netanyahu pounced on this and Bennett qualified his initial statement [a bad sign]. But the extraordinary exposure he achieved only strengthened his support [just like when Texas governor Rick Perry talked about seceding from the Union—which was only a ploy to gain arch-conservative votes. Bennett might be sincere, but he is showing typical signs of willingness to please the establishment]. And, in an interview with the Associated Press, Bennett stated, ‘My positions are very clear: I never hide the fact that I categorically oppose a Palestinian state inside our country...’ [good].
With a slate that includes many young newcomers, Bennett launched an extraordinary campaign, which, according to a recent poll, propelled the party to possibly gaining 15 seats, an incredible achievement [indeed]. The bulk of his supporters are under forty and many are nonobservant [Jews]...the prospect of 15 seats is nothing less than historical in scope for this truly idealistic party dedicated to the love of the land of Israel, the People of Israel, and the Torah of Israel.
Politicians who are idealistic enough to love the land of Israel don't live long [unless they start to soften their positions and compromise]. When Bennett started mouthing off about being an IDF officer who would refuse to evict Jews from their homes, he was suddenly widely noticed. To some, that was treason talk. But to many others, that was what they thought and now they had a voice expressing their deepest patriotic feelings. And one of my readers informed me that either Bennett will change drastically once in power, or go on a hit list.
In summary, the jury is still out on whether Bennett is real or fake—or in the process of shifting to a controlled conservative. Bennett clearly siphoned off support from Netanyahu, showing that the Israeli Right is starting to wake up in the same way that Ron Paul caused a major shift in Republican politics this past election. Whether Bennett is an Israeli Ron Paul or a shifty Rick Perry remains to be seen.
Personally I’m not optimistic. As the Telegraph noted, ‘Mr Bennett, 40, a self-made internet millionaire who was once Mr Netanyahu's chief of staff, has already tried to ease his path into government by vowing not to destabilize a coalition headed by his former boss.’ -Not a good sign.”

If you have a hard time believing that the G-d of Israel is in Control, keep your eyes focused on Jerusalem. Here is the “stumbling stone” for all the nations of the world for all the “eyes” of the Freemason of the world are focused on Jerusalem today. Then consider, it takes a Mason to know a Mason, and then we may understand why Netanyahu, the most skilled and articulate Jewish Freemason in the world is the Prime Minister of Israel. Understand, he does have strong principles. He may give up Hebron to the Palestinians, but not Jerusalem.
The G-d of Israel is quietly recreating the State of Israel to begin its final acts before the G-d of Israel takes full control of the Land of Israel. Yes, there are a lot of imperfect people seeking to restore the Land of Israel to its divine mission, the strategic planetary capital of the future Messiah son of David. Here will be a nation focused on holiness, righteousness and justice. If you believe these facts to be true, you might desire to reconnect with the Biblical portrayals of what is and will be happening in your near future.
This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and 10-Triber Mission to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This super Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.
