Note: Responding to 'JOHN KERRY AND JOE BIDEN HAVE PROVEN TO BE PRO-IRANIAN' (5-4-21), an Anon commented:
.....if you read the Michael Scheuer book, “through our enemies eyes” and
still consider Israel an ally, I will donate 10,000 to any pro Zionist
organization of your choice.
(Scroll down to the May 4th post to read Anon's complete comment.)
I must confess that I can't remember hearing of Michael Scheuer before. I browsed the internet for information on
Scheuer and learned he is a former CIA agent who has become a QAnon
follower. He is noted for his anti-Semitism and has called for "the end
of all U.S. aid to Israel, the elimination of the Jewish state, and in
its stead the creation of an Islamic Palestinian state." Scheuer claims
that “Israel Firsters” started the Iraq War and that our relationship with Israel cost America “blood and lives.” He also claims that Israel “owns Congress.”
Here is an informative article on the QAnon crackpot:
New report reveals the strange story of an ex-CIA officer who hunted bin Laden turning to QAnon

Michael Scheuer
During his 22 years in the Central Intelligence Agency, Michael F.
Scheuer became known for the time he spent tracking Al Qaeda leader
Osama bin Laden. But Scheuer left the CIA in 2004, and these days, he is
best known for his violent rhetoric and fondness for far-right
conspiracy theories. Journalist Spencer Ackerman wrote an in-depth
article chronicling the story for the Daily Beast this week.
Ackerman, who specializes in national security issues, describes
Scheuer's journey from CIA agent to conspiracy theorist — noting that
these days, the blogger's activities including praising the QAnon cult
and applauding vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse. And these days, according to
Ackerman, Scheuer isn't shy about calling for violence against fellow
U.S. citizens.
"The former senior CIA official once in charge of the hunt for Osama
bin Laden has spent the summer calling for the slaughter of his fellow
Americans," Ackerman explains. "Michael Scheuer calls Black Lives Matter
a 'terrorist organization' and a 'semi-human mob.' On his blog and his
podcast, Scheuer rages against a widespread, treasonous conspiracy
targeting not only President Trump, but the fundamental character of the
American republic. It deserves 'punishment…. we've not seen before in
this country.'"
Ackerman notes that Scheuer has exalted Rittenhouse — who is facing
murder charges for allegedly shooting two demonstrators at a Black Lives
Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin — as a "young hero" and recently wrote,
"Rittenhouse's necessary, patriotic and constitutional actions will
power the formation of militias across the United States." Scheuer has
described George Floyd, whose brutal killing at the hands of Minneapolis
police officers on May 25 set off anti-racism protests around the
world, as "felonious scum."
"Scheuer's advocacy of violence follows a long trajectory," Ackerman
explains. "In December, he endorsed the increasingly violent QAnon
conspiracy movement, which the FBI has called a potential wellspring of domestic terrorism."
In July, Scheuer said that if a civil war occurred in the U.S., the
"only thing" he "would be upset about" is "that not enough Democrats
would get killed."
"Counterterrorism experts have long since written Scheuer off as a
crank," Ackerman observes. "Yet Scheuer's advocacy of political violence
looks disturbingly like a harbinger. Trump's one-time consigliere,
Roger Stone, urged Trump to declare martial law and jail his critics if
he loses the November election."
Glenn Carle, a retired CIA operations officer who knew Scheuer's
co-workers, told the Beast, "He's always been an extremist. That's a
psychological characteristic, not a political attribute of his. Clearly
and without exception, he's derogatory to the point of being grotesque
in his unfairness toward any political figure who shows any temperance."
Carle also said of Scheuer, "In times of stress, unconsciously, we're
tribal and visceral. This is happening in American society in a larger
sense, and it's what's going on with Scheuer."
NOTE Since I didn't
waste my time reading the crackpot's book, I'm letting Anon off the
hook. He doesn't have to donate 10,000 to a Zionist organization.
