Escalation in Ukraine was originally preceded by Syria's downward spiral, threatening the Russian base in Tartus, so in a way these conflicts have always been linked. Is that the key to de-escalation? Howard Jonas has backed Eliot Engel since the late-1980s, a Democrat, who originally introduced the Syria Accountability Act of 2003 into the U.S. House which sanctioned and led to Syria's destabilization in the first place. Jonas the #2 donor to Benjamin Netanyahu despite being American is also one of the most influential figures at the pro-Israel NORPAC, less known than AIPAC, but highly influential over Washington, DC. As was John McCain. Jonas benefited most from Syria's destabilization, having pushed for illegal Israeli settlements including in the Golan Heights funneling millions of dollars, through a confidant of Hillary Clinton, Itamar Marcus, back in the 2000s. In the 2010s Jonas expanded on this interest with his company Genie Energy which would discover oil in the Golan Heights, having formed just shortly before the start of the Syrian Civil War. 4 out of 8 Genie Energy board members are directly connected to Jeffrey Epstein and include Bill Richardson, Lawrence Summers, Michael Steinhardt, and Rupert Murdoch. A longtime associate of its parent company IDT Corporation, Michael Glassner, just so happened to manage the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey with Lewis Eisenberg which oversaw the Teterboro airport that Epstein utilized in the 1990s. The same airport one of the 9/11 hijackers trained at. Before that Glassner worked for the National Center For Missing And Exploited Children (NCMEC) under Bill Clinton. Remember Epstein's Saudi passport? Glassner would leave the World Trade Center for his job at IDT just months before 9/11. It so happens that Genie Energy also worked in the Trump administration, the first to recognize Israel's "ownership" of Syria's Golan Heights, all fair and legal according to Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz also knowing this same executive, Ira Greenstein, in Scarsdale, New York. Oy vey.
