We're leaving this story at the top of the page because we think it deserves attention.
A number of military and foreign-policy commentators are raising questions about the evolving relationship between the United States and Israel, including discussions about deeper military integration and influence over American strategic decision-making. Some dismiss these concerns as rumor or exaggeration. Others, including former military and intelligence officials, believe the issue deserves serious scrutiny.
Whatever your view, the question itself is important.
The United States and Israel are allies, but their interests are not always identical. Americans should be able to discuss where those interests overlap, where they differ, and who is influencing policy in Washington without fear, intimidation, or political taboo.
That is one reason East Mountain Messenger exists. We pay attention to stories that receive little coverage, are quickly dismissed, or fall outside the boundaries of acceptable discussion.
Watch the interview and decide for yourself. If you're short on time, consider starting around the 3:38 mark, where the discussion begins to focus directly on the issue.

From East Mountain Messenger: It is now clear to us that America is headed into a war that no one in Washington seems to be able to stop.
EMM is launching in the midst of chaos, World War Stupid, and information control. We think that staying ahead of the information war that has been declared on Americans by their own government is vital. Time is short and the lies are dense.
So if you actually have some curiosity about what is going on out there, we provide you with what both mainstream and alternative sources are saying. Americans have to look at information that we call "news" much more carefully. We need to look at multiple sources and compare narratives. President Trump declares we are winning a war. But his Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned abruptly - then went to alternate and mainstream media to tell a very different story. Somebody's lying. How do you find truth? If you don't trust alternative media, read multiple narratives provided by various mainstream media. That's one thing we do for you. In addition to curating out the best alt journalism we can find, we are putting up tables of links from across the country and across the world. What do our "allies" say? What do our adversaries say? What does the MSM say?
We will be expanding and reporting on what is shaping up to be WWIII. Revolutions happen when the walls of people's stomachs rub together from hunger. That's going to be the future of a lot of people in this world. It may be ours too. EMM is confident that the dream world Americans have been floating in is coming to an end and a lot more people will be asking questions. That's why we are here – to help them find answers.
