I thought the following article from 2003 provides some insight to the influences we are dealing with. In 2003, it was reported that the US destroyed a museum containing Hammurabi's code and some of the earliest artifacts of human history, and then dedicate their troops to a search for an old copy of an Rabbinical tractates. When it comes to separation of Synagogue and state, our rulers never heard of the First Amendment. Judaism appears to be the unofficial religion of the U.S. government. US soldiers from the elite "MET Alpha" commando unit have been assigned the critical mission of finding a 7th century Talmud in Iraq, using your tax dollars to locate it. U.S. Col. Richard R. McPhee says that the rabbinic text is "too valuable to be left behind." The N.Y. Times claims that this highly prized Talmud is "one of the most ancient in existence." Indeed it would be, if it existed. Extant copies of the Talmud date almost entirely from the late medieval and Renaissance eras and were preserved by European Christian scholars and then passed on to Judaic adherents. The purpose of today's story in the N.Y. Times serves as Revelation of the Method-- hinting at the authentic identity of the Power that governs the United States behind the scene.
US Troops Searching for Rare Talmud in Iraq
"Iraqi Documents on Israel Surface on a Cultural Hunt"
New York Times, May 7, 2003
BAGHDAD, Iraq — What began today as a hunt for an ancient Jewish text at secret police headquarters here wound up unearthing a trove of Iraqi intelligence documents and maps relating to Israel as well as offers of sales of uranium and other nuclear material to Iraq.
.........
Temporarily daunted by the overpowering stench, MET Alpha's leader, Chief Warrant Officer Richard L. Gonzales, and two other MET Alpha soldiers eventually collected themselves and plunged into the mire in search of the holy text as the team chaplain shook his head in disbelief.
What they found instead of the precious book was what the former Iraqi intelligence official said was the operations center of the Mukhabarat's Israel-Palestine department. Two Iraqi National Congress members joined the soldiers in the water as they inched their way by flashlight through the 50- foot hallway to the rooms where they happened upon the intelligence documents.
Slogging down the dank hallway, the soldiers reached a room where they found hundreds of books floating in the foul water. There they rescued three bundles of older Jewish books, including a Babylonian Talmud from Vilna, accounting books of the Jewish community of Baghdad between 1949 and 1953 and dozens of more modern scholarly books mostly in Arabic and Hebrew — "Generals of Israel," by Moshe Ben-Shaul; David Ben-Gurion's "Memoirs"; and "Semites and Anti-Semites," by the Princeton scholar Bernard Lewis.
But no seventh-century Talmud.
In the end, MET Alpha collected and turned over one large truckload of intelligence documents to the Defense Intelligence Agency for analysis. As for the missing Talmud, Mr. Gonzales said his team believed that it might still be at the bottom of the Mukhabarat's flooded basement. That view was reinforced by the recovery of a wooden box with Hebrew writing, which the former Iraqi intelligence officer said might have contained the priceless artifact.
