Yarmulke-wearing U.S. presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain wipes a tear away as Sen. Joe Lieberman looks on after visiting the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, Israel. McCain was also the recipient of a recent posh fundraising dinner affair in England, courtesy of the world’s largest funder of war in the world: the Rothschild family. Everyone knows McCain would be good for the war profiteers, bankers and Israeli security, but what will become of America?

SOME CYNICS SAY THAT Sen. John McCain’s recent visit to London to attend a fundraiser for his presidential candidacy hosted by Lord Jacob Rothschild of the international banking empire may have been quite simply a case of McCain going to Rothschild for his marching orders.

As if to underscore his allegiances, McCain preceded his trip to pay court to Lord Rothschild with a visit to Israel, the Middle East state that counts the Rothschild family as among its chief patrons, to the point that an earlier Rothschild, Edmond, of the Paris-based arm of the banking family, is honored on Israel’s currency today.

McCain was accompanied to the Rothschild gala (and to Israel) by his good friend and fellow devotee of Israel, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), who has endorsed McCain and who is often mentioned as either a vice presidential running mate for McCain or as a likely secretary of state in a McCain administration.

That the Rothschild empire would support McCain should come as no surprise to those familiar with McCain’s record. (more…)
