James Woolsey and the Neo-Con Program.

A key neo-con/Zionist operative at the highest level—one of the few who is not himself Jewish—is James Woolsey, former CIA Director and (JINSA) Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs Boardmember.

Woolsey is associated with the IAGS in Washington which wants to somehow achieve "energy security" by seizing Arab oil or finding non-OPEC Caspian alternatives. The IAGS/Woolsey link is shown below.

II. James Woolsey and Americans for Victory over Terrorism (AVOT)

AVOT is another neo-con grouping,

AVOT’s tone is one of what an objective person would have to call "hysterical Zionism"/"hysterical Judeocentrism".

Arabs and Moslems are basically "Islamo-fascists and terrorists" unless they genuflect to Israel.

William Bennett, the first name you see below, repeatedly declares that "America’s and Israel’s future are the same" and "America’s destiny is the Jewish one".

This is the acute "historo-pathology" the world faces in the neo-con/Zionist phenomenon.

Besides Woolsey’s name, notice Paul Bremer’s (he was of course America’s pro-consul in Iraq through June 2004), below.
