(WASHINGTON, D.C.) In an explosive new book, a former counsel to the U.S. Senate explains how America lost control of its foreign policy to pro-Israeli elites and extremists.

In an account covering presidencies from Woodrow Wilson to George W. Bush, the author chronicles the influence wielded by pro-Israeli agents operating inside administrations over the past century regardless of party.

Harry Truman, a political product of organized crime from the 1920s, recognized Israel in 1948 over the strenuous objections of his Secretary of State George Marshall and the entire U.S. foreign policy and intelligence establishment. Like Bush, Truman was a Zionist Christian predisposed to favor the agenda of the Zionist state. Like Truman, Bush relied on a cadre of pro-Israeli advisers

Guilt By Association shows how America’s credibility became a casualty of those skilled at waging war by way of deception. In the Information Age, conflicts are enabled by what Defense Secretary Robert Gates calls “the people in between.” Between the facts and a misinformed public, asserts author Jeff Gates, were CNN announcer Wolf Blitzer and New York Times reporter Judith Miller who displaced the real facts about Iraqi WMD with what people could be deceived to believe.

Guilt documents how this systemic duplicity exerted virtual control over serial presidencies. With disturbing detail, Gates describes how political candidates are routinely screened, prepped and positioned for public office by a transnational network allied around shared goals. What Guilt By Association documents is less an overt conspiracy than ideological alignment around values inconsistent with democracy’s commitment to transparency and informed choice.

This provocative account explains why the 2008 elections offer only the latest presidential field in which both candidates are the product of a pro-Zionist network whose goals conflict with American interests.

A widely acclaimed author, attorney, investment banker, educator and consultant to government, corporate and union leaders worldwide, Jeff Gates’ previous books include Democracy at Risk: Rescuing Main Street From Wall Street and The Ownership Solution: Toward a Shared Capitalism for the 21st Century. Endorsers for these books include CEOs, heads of state, legislators, educators, commentators and Nobel laureates.
