Book Reviews of The Transparent Cabal: The Neoconservative Agenda, War in the Middle East, and the National Interest of Israel
Book Review: "Dual loyalties" is an undeserved compliment.
Summary: 5 Stars
THE TRANSPARENT CABAL is the best book yet on the people responsible for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is exhaustively researched and beautifully written. When it arrived one Saturday afternoon, I decided to sit down for a few minutes and glance at it. After a few pages, I was hooked. I finished it around midnight, but could not fall asleep for hours, because the book is profoundly disturbing. It chronicles the hijacking of the American government by a network of Israeli agents and their non-Jewish allies and dupes, with the intent of spending American lives and money to destroy the enemies of Israel.
Those who read this book can only conclude that it is a mistake to accuse Jews like the leaders of the neoconservative movement of "dual loyalties"--loyalty to the US and to Israel. It is a mistake, not because it is a vile "anti-Semitic" libel, as we are constantly told, but because it is an undeserved compliment. The neoconservatives are deeply contemptuous of the United States and the people who founded it. They feel no loyalty to this country whatsoever. Faced with a choice between the interests of the US and Israel, they would not hesitate to choose Israel's interest every time. It beggars the imagination that non-Jewish conservatives have allowed their movement to be hijacked by people who hold them and this nation in contempt.
But the neoconservatives are practiced hijackers. First they hijacked the conservative movement, then the Republican party, then US foreign policy. When they have used them up and wrecked them, I wonder what they will do. Will they stick around and try to pick up the pieces and rebuild what they have destroyed? Or will they reinvent themselves again (many neoconservatives were leftists who reinvented themselves) and try to take over and subvert some other movement, party, or nation?
If you find Sniegoski's work valuable, I urge you to read the chapters on "Neonconservatism as a Jewish Movement" and "Neoconservative Portraits" in Kevin MacDonald's Cultural Insurrections: Essays on Western Civilization, Jewish Influence, & Anti-Semitism. MacDonald's work on Jewish intellectual movements provides the necessary historical and sociological context for understanding neoconservatism.
