Washington, DC, December 14, 2012 –
When Naval Investigative Service analyst Jonathan Pollard spied for Israel in
1984 and 1985, his Israeli handlers asked primarily for nuclear, military and
technical information on the Arab states, Pakistan, and the Soviet Union –
not on the United States – according to the newly-declassified CIA 1987 damage
assessment of the Pollard case, published today by the National Security
Archive at George Washington University (www.nsarchive.org).
The
damage
assessment includes new details on the specific subjects and documents
sought by Pollard's Israeli handlers (pages 36-43), such as Syrian drones and
central communications, Egyptian missile programs, and Soviet air defenses. The
Israelis specifically asked for a signals intelligence manual that they needed
to listen in on Soviet advisers in Syria. The document describes how Pollard's
handler, Joseph Yagur, told him to ignore a request, from Yagur's boss, for
U.S. "dirt" on senior Israeli officials and told Pollard that
gathering such information would terminate the operation (page 38).
The
assessment also notes that Pollard volunteered delivery of three daily
intelligence summaries that had not been requested by his handlers, but which
proved useful to them, and ultimately handed over roughly 1,500 such messages
from the Middle East and North Africa Summary (MENAS), the Mediterranean
Littoral Intelligence Summary (MELOS), and the Indian Ocean Littoral
Intelligence Summary, in addition to the more than 800 compromised documents on
other subjects that Pollard delivered to the Israelis in suitcases.
The
damage assessment also features a detailed 21-page chronology of Pollard's
personal life and professional career, including his work for the Israelis,
highlighting more than a dozen examples of unusual behavior by Pollard that the
CIA suggests should have, in retrospect, alerted his supervisors that he was a
security risk. Prominent on the list were false statements by Pollard during a
1980 assignment with Task Force 168, the naval intelligence element responsible
for HUMINT collection. Pollard is now serving a life sentence in prison for
espionage. ( Pollard who should have
been executed was released in 2015 )
POLLARD -WELDS AND BURNS 1988
The
astonishing degree to which Israeli and Soviet intelligence has taken over the
U. S. Justice Department has come into focus following the ouster of Deputy
Attorney General Arnold I. Burns and Criminal Division director William F. Weld
on March 29. Burns and Weld have claimed they left office because their
factional enemy, Attorney General Edwin Meese, is corrupt, and that their
effort to oust him had failed. Washington insiders point to Bums and Weld's
known ties to George Bush, and see their departure as evidence of a brutal Bush campaign shake-up. Neither
version is correct. It now appears that the reason Burns and Weld fled office,
is that U. S intelligence professionals are on the verge of proving that both
officials oversaw crucial aspects of the Jonathan Pollard Mossad-KGB spy ring. Pollard had been
arrested in November 1985 for spying for Israel; subsequent
investigation
has proven his Israeli controllers sold much of his information to Moscow. Both
officials have good reason to fear potential indictment for espionage or
obstructing government investigations into espionage.
The Pollard connection
The connection of the Burns-Weld ring to
Pollard first emerged publicly on April 11, when the Washington Times began a
three-part series into Burns's corruption, based on government leaks. The Times
exposed the amazing fact that Burns had been the target of a 1986 government
inquiry into fraudulent tax shelters. Burns was then the third ranking
official in the department. The Times also reported that Weld had crushed the
investigation into the Burns tax evasion scheme. Apparently unbeknownst to the
Times, the particular corporate fronts established by Burns, were not merely
scams. They were part of the network
which "tasked " Pollard on behalf of Jerusalem-and Moscow. The
behavior of Burns and Weld is extraordinary, even if espionage were not
involved. According to the Times' sources, and since confirmed independently,
Burns and his law firm, Burns, Summit, Rovins, and Feldesman, drew up the
papers for at least 15 different multimillion-dollar tax shelters in the
Bahamas, beginning in 1978. According to the Internal Revenue Service, the
Burns scheme was a "sham operation set up for investors to claim improper
tax deductions, " through supposed business losses on claimed investments
that were never actually made. In 1986, Burns, then the Associate Attorney
General of the United States, was forced to pay more than $100,000 in back
taxes which he had evaded through falsely claiming business losses. Moreover,
Burns was compelled by subpoena to testify in a California tax case which had
been taken out against two of his co-investors in the scheme. Two of Burns's
partners at his firm were also compelled to testify, as was Burns's business
partner, Edward C. Levine, whose connection to Pollard will be noted below.
Prosecutors
at the trial, U.S.mes Brown, demonstrated that the tax shelter's supposed
research operation of investigating new techniques in steroid production, which
was used to claim a $1.4 million business loss for 10 investors, did not exist.
The tax scheme was a phony. Burns admitte vs. Jad under oath that he had
drafted the documents for the scheme. Meanwhile, Burns's partner, Edward
Levine, took the Fifth Amendment.
Following
his testimony, the IR S continued its probe into other Burns schemes.
The
nature of Burns's 15 Bahamas-based corporate fronts is indicated by the
following facts. Bums's companies were not merely used to facilitate the
laundering of personal funds out of the reach of the IR S. The facts suggest
that the firms were crucial to the Israeli intelligence ring which ran Jonathan
Pollard:
• All 15 of Burn's Bahamas corporations did business
exclusively in Israel, and only under the personal
direction
and authorization of Dr. Yigal Ehrlich, the Israeli
Ministry
of Industry's chief scientist. Minister of Industry
Ariel Sharon,
Ehrlich's superior, controlled the Pollard network,
via
his chief subordinate, Rafi Eytan, who directed LEKEM,
the
Israeli spy agency, which employed Pollard.
• All of Burns's corporations were established by
Israel
D. Rosen, an Israeli attorney based in New York. Rosen
is
an agent of BIRD, the U. S.-Israeli Binational
Research and
Development Foundation, which is the primary front for
LEKEM in the United States. BIRD's counsel, Howard
Katz,
was Pollard's paymaster.
•
Burns's chief sidekick in these schemes, outside of
Rosen,
was the above-mentioned Edward Levine. In the spring
of
1986, Levine was subpoenaed by the IR S in relation to
Burns's
tax schemes. He promptly retained the counsel of
the
law firm, Anderson, Hibey, the same law firm that was
simultaneously
representing Jonathan Pollard for espionage.
•
Burns was parachuted into the Justice Department as
its
number-three official in January 1986, a mere two months
after
Pollard's arrest. Burns's nomination was the result of
the
pressure of the law firm of Elliot Richardson, the mentor
of
William Weld. Burns's nomination shocked observers: He
had
never worked for the government, and had never even
participated
in a criminal case. Burns's chief preoccupation
at Justice has been to protect the LEKEM network.
Investigations
by EIR have determined the following
shocking
features of the Pollard spy network, of which Bums
was
a figure. The true story has never been told before.
How LEKEM works in the U.S.
The actual U. S. station chief for LEKEM in the United
States is General Itzhak Ya'akov, who is now based out
of
Robotics and Software International (R SI) in New
York.
Y
a' akov is the former chief scientist of both the Israeli Defense
Forces
and the Israeli Defense Ministry. Ya'akov retired
at
an early age, in 1980, and emigrated to New York,
nominally
to solicit high-technology investment into Israel,
especially
its arms industries. His prime assignment, however,
was
to field espionage networks, including those later
directing
Pollard.
Ya'akov
was certainly well suited for both tasks, having
formed
or sponsored a dozen of Israel's top arms industries
and
arms smuggling fronts. Some of these fronts
later were
implicated in the Iran-Contra sales which the U. S.
Justice
Department has done so much to protect. Ya'akov
himself
has traveled to Iran on several occasions, according
to some
reports, on behalf of these U. S. -Israeli sales.
- According to the Report of the Congressional Committees Investigating the Iran-Contra Affair issued in November 1987, the sale of U.S. arms to Iran through Israel began in the summer of 1985, after receiving the approval of President Reagan. The report shows that Israel's involvement was stimulated by separate overtures in 1985 from Iranian arms merchant Manucher Ghorbanifar and National Security Council (NSC) consultant Michael Ledeen, the latter working for National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane. When Ledeen asked Prime Minister Shimon Peres for assistance, the Israeli leader agreed to sell weapons to Iran at America's behest, providing the sale had high-level U.S. approval.
Before
the Israelis would participate, says the report, they demanded "a clear,
express and binding consent by the U.S. Government." McFarlane told the
Congressional committee he first received President Reagan's approval in July
1985. In August, Reagan again orally authorized the first sale of weapons to
Iran, over the objections of Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and Secretary
of State George Shultz. Because of that deal, Rev. Benjamin Weir, held captive
in Lebanon for 16 months, was released.
When
a shipment of HAWK missiles was proposed in November of that year, Israeli
Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin again demanded specific U.S. approval. According to McFarlane, the
President agreed.
By
December 1985, the President had decided future sales to the Iranians would
come directly from U.S. supplies.
But
Ya'akov's connections are not simply to Israel.
Ya'akov's
Russian-born wife has had a series of interesting
previous
marriages into the exiled Russian nobility. U. S.
intelligence
sources report she has come under investigation
for
possible ties to the KGB. Ya'akov and his wife travel to
the
U. S. S.R. every year.
Among the most significant operations established by
Ya'akov is BIRD. BIRD had been formed in May 1977 by
the U . S. and Israeli governments, nominally to
"promote and
support mutually profitable cooperation between the
private
sectors of the U. S. and Israeli high-technology
industry.
In fact, BIRD's purpose was to facilitate Israeli
scientific espionage
in the United States, as later seen by its
"tasking " of
Pollard. This
espionage was sanctioned by networks within
the U.S. government as part of the secret protocols of
the
1979 Camp David accords.
The
chairman of the Executive Committee of BIRD is the
abovementioned
Dr. Yigal Ehrlich, the chief scientist of the
Israeli
Ministry of Industry. There are two prominent Americans
on
BIRD's board of governors. One was, until recently,
John
Negroponte, currently deputy director of the National
Security
Council, and one of the principal overseers of the
Iran-Contra
deals. The other is Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury
for International Affairs, David C. Mulford. Mulford
is
a former senior officer in White, Weld, William Weld's
family
firm.
Simultaneous
with the formation of BIRD, Arnold Burns
began
forming a series of Bahamian-Israeli research firms,
which
to the naive government investigator, appeared to be
mere
shady tax shelters, or fronts for illegal tax scams .Every
single
one of Burns's firms was established by Burns in
coordination
with the abovementioned BIRD agent Israel
Rosen.
All projects carried out at the firms was done under
the
authority of BIRD's Ehrlich.
The
ADL angle
Arnold
Burns's connections to the Israeli- Soviet espionage
did
not merely proceed through his business ties to
LEKEM's
BIRD network. His close involvement with the
Anti-Defamation
League of B ' nai B 'rith should already have
alerted
U.S. counterintelligence to his dubious loyalties. The
ADL
is not merely an organized-crime front established by
Meyer
Lansky's syndicate: It has deep connections to both
Soviet
and Israeli intelligence.
1979-1983 Richard Kelly Smyth/Arnon Milchan/Benjamin Netanyahu
In
1985 Richard Kelly Smyth, a physicist and businessman who had contracted with
NATO and NASA was
arrested for illegally passing 15 shipments of nuclear triggering devices
to the Israeli government via an Israeli trading company. He was sentenced to
40 months in prison but was immediately eligible
for parole because he was 72 years old at the time of his sentencing.
On May 3, 2017 the Department of Homeland Security
released the most detailed files to date on the 1979-1983 Richard Kelly Smyth/Arnon
Milchan/Benjamin Netanyahu krytron smuggling ring.
The 100-page dossier (PDF) answers important questions about how highly sensitive US
nuclear weapons technologies were smuggled out of the country in the early
1980s.
Krytrons
are sophisticated triggers for the detonation of nuclear bombs. According to
Smyth, Milchan’s company had pushed him hard for the krytrons and knew
perfectly what they were for—even though it was illegal to export them from the
U.S. without a U.S. State Department munitions license. Milchan’s Heli Trading
Ltd. had ordered 14 shipments totaling 810 krytrons from 1979-82. Now U.S.
Customs and the FBI had moved in and the entire Milco operation was in
jeopardy. Milchan feared that a politically ambitious and publicity-hungry U.S.
prosecutor would come hunting for him, he told us.
Milchan
first met Smyth in 1968, when U.S.-based defense contractor Rockwell Inc. sent
its newly appointed vice president to Tel Aviv to downgrade relations, under
pressure from the Arab world.
Smyth
was a senior engineer with a B.S. in physics from Caltech as well as a Ph.D. in
electrical engineering and mathematics from USC.
As
Milchan grew in his fathers "ferilizer business, he had come to the
attention of up-and-coming politician Shimon
Peres, who introduced Milchan to Benjamin Blumberg, nicknamed Israel’s
“prince of silence,” the head of LAKAM (a Hebrew
acronym for the Science Liaison Bureau). LAKAM’s very existence was unknown to
the United States at the time.
( Lekem, (also
pronounced "Lakam") an acronym for ha-Lishka le-Kishrei Mada (Hebrew:
הלשכה
לקשרי מדע, Bureau of
Scientific Relations), was an Israeli intelligence agency headed by Benjamin
Blumberg (1957–1981), and Rafi Eitan (1981–1986). It collected scientific and
technical intelligence abroad from both open and covert sources, particularly
for Israel's nuclear program. )
Blumberg
taught Milchan how to establish front companies and secret bank accounts;
meanwhile, foreign arms suppliers like Rockwell and Raytheon were encouraged to
hire Milchan as their “representative” in Israel. Within a few years, he was
acting as a middleman for weapons transactions, raking in hundreds of millions
of dollars in commissions that in fact would fund LAKAM and Mossad activities.
Now
here he was, meeting Smyth on Israel’s behalf, to do a deal with Rockwell.
Their
first joint endeavor was a Rockwell–Israel Aircraft Industries project called
Ibex, designed to develop a sophisticated ring of electronic listening posts
around the borders of Iran, as Milchan confirmed in our interview.
Milchan,
in late 1972, over dinner at Tel Aviv’s Kasbah restaurant, suggested this was
the moment for Smyth to make “real money” in his own procurement business by
striking out on his own. It was a risk; matters like health insurance,
retirement pension and job security weighed heavily on Smyth. But when Milchan
emphasized that he could supply him with all of the orders he could possibly
handle, Smyth agreed.
“Greed
was certainly a factor,” Milchan reflected when we asked about Smyth’s
thinking. Smyth broached the notion to Rockwell and was surprised that his
bosses were delighted: Having him operate independently gave them a solution to
the constant pressure they’d felt from the Saudis to cut ties with Israel.
Instead of ordering from Rockwell directly, trade with Israel could be funneled
through Smyth’s new company, Milco International Inc. And so on January 19,
1973, Smyth officially registered Milco in Orange County, Calif., and got his new
business under way. Its dealings with Milchan Brothers—Arnon’s Israel-based
company—were simple: Milchan’s office manager, Dvora Ben Yitzhak, working
directly with Blumberg, would send a coded telex to Smyth listing sensitive
items that they wished to order on behalf of Israel. Milchan himself would make
contact only when necessary.
“Everything
I did, I did in coordination with Mr. Milchan and was in contact with him
almost on a daily basis,” Dvora told us in October 2009.
“Milco
and their employees had secret clearances that permitted them to [obtain]
consulting contracts with government agencies and contractors,” Smyth wrote in
an extraordinary book about his exploits, Irrational
Indictment & Imprisonment For Export Krytrons to Israel, written in
2008 under the pseudonym Dr. Jon Schiller—one of several sources for Smyth’s
true story, in addition to documentation from his legal proceedings and
confirmation supplied by a high-level Israeli intelligence operative.
After
a while, that included the purchase of krytrons, a small, seventy five dollar,
cold-cathode gas filled tube intended for use as a high-speed switch, which
among other things, serves as triggers for the detonation of nuclear bombs. It
was illegal to export krytrons at the time without a munitions export license,
and its export to Israel had been rejected before.
“It’s
always the little things that cause the most problems,” Milchan shrugged, when
we asked him about it.
Over the following decade, Smyth’s business moved
briskly.
He was able to ship long lists of sensitive products
to Israel: training simulators for air defense missiles, voice scramblers and
lasers, computerized flight control systems, thermal batteries, gyroscopes for
missile guidance systems, neutron generators, high-speed oscilloscopes, high
voltage condensers, and many other dual-use components—almost everything a
country might need to turn itself into a high-tech, nuclear armed powerhouse.
Smyth’s relationship with Milchan was all-important;
over 80 percent of his business with Israel was done through Milchan Bros. and
satellite companies such as Heli Trading. Thanks to Milchan, Smyth grew
wealthy, maintaining two waterfront properties in Huntington Beach and an
apartment on Catalina Island, Calif. He joined the local Cabrillo Beach Yacht
Club there and by 1977 had reached the membership rank of commodore.
Then
on Christmas Eve, 1984, just as Milchan was working on Once Upon a Time in America, Smyth flipped through his mail and
found a letter ordering him to appear before a federal prosecutor in Los
Angeles to answer questions about the krytrons and face possible charges of
high crimes and misdemeanors.
Richard Kelly Smyth/Arnon Milchan/Benjamin Netanyahu
During
1980 shipped 610 Krytrons to HELI. Al) were invoiced and shipped as
"pentodes," a false and inaccurate description/. All correspondence
relating to the‘se
transactions
referred to "project pinto." It seems that all of the projects with
Israel were given code names.
It
is most likely that the subject Krytrons were imported into Israel for use In
Israel. However, diversion to South Africa, Pakistan or some other country is
possible.

firm, the company's attorney confirmed Wednesday.
James
Riddet, an attorney representing Milco International Inc., said, "I can
tell you there's a federal grand jury investigation and that's all." U.S.
policy forbids exportation of the devices, called krytrons, without State
Department permission.
HISTORY OF ADL SPYING NETWORK
1993: ADL
In
1993 a massive ADL-led
spying operation was busted targeting numerous institutions and
individuals, including the NAACP and even the San Francisco police. The data
was being passed to Israel, and in some cases South Africa. The city dropped
criminal prosecution of the case after lobbying from local Jewish
organizations, but the ADL was forced to settle
a civil lawsuit out of court for an undisclosed sum.
ADL - ROY BULLOCK
Over
a 30-year period, he compiled computer files for the ADL on
9876
individuals and more than 950 groups of all political stripes,
including the NAACP, the Rainbow Coalition, ACLU, the American Indian
Movement, the Center for Investigative Reporting, Pacifica, ACT UP,
Palestinian and Arab groups, Sandinista solidarity groups, Americans
for Peace Now, and anti-apartheid organizations. Bullock, who even
spied on the recently slain South African nationalist Chris Hani when
he visited the Bay Area in April 1991, sold many of his ADL files on
anti-apartheid activists to South African intelligence. Meanwhile,
between 1985 and 1993, the ADL paid him nearly $170,000, using a
prominent Beverly Hills attorney as a conduit in order to conceal its
financial relationship with Bullock.

According to court records, Bullock's
files
contained the driver's license and vehicle registration information,
in addition to criminal histories on individuals -- much of which was
allegedly stolen from the FBI and police computers. Bullock, 58, told
the FBI that copies of virtually everything in his computer data base
had been given to the San Francisco ADL office. "Based on the
evidence," says Inspector Ron Roth, in a police affidavit, "I believe
that Roy Bullock and ADL had numerous peace officers supplying them
with confidential criminal and DMV information."

Investigations by the FBI and police in San Francisco
have revealed
that the ADL has shared at least some of its spy gathering material
with Israeli government officials. What's more, Israel apparently used
tips from the ADL to detain Palestinian Americans who travelled there.

1987 ADL
In
1987, the ADL sent Bullock to attend the National Association of
Arab Americans annual congress in Washington. According to court
documents, Bullock was told to find the source of the group's funds.
Bullock was unable to "follow the money." But he did such a good job
at ingratiating himself that he was appointed to head a NAAA
delegation that visited Congress member Nancy Pelosi.

1986 ADL - Thomas Girard
Bullock
soon expanded his horizons, moving into the shadowy realm of
foreign espionage after Richard Hirschhaut, the head of ADL's San
Francisco office, introduced him to Thomas Gerard in 1986. Gerard was
then a detective with the San Francisco Police Department's
Intelligence Unit. Gerard had worked as a demolitions expert for the
CIA in El Salvador in the early 1980s, where he apparently had more
than a passing interest in right-wing death squads. (Police searching
Gerard's briefcase found extensive CIA literature about torture and
interrogation, photos of blindfolded and chained men, as well as
passports made out to Gerard in 10 different names, including Thomas
Clouseau. From a remote jungle island redoubt in the Philippines
where he fled last November, Gerard told the Los Angeles Times that he
will blow the lid off the CIA's involvement with Latin American death
squads if he is indicted in the ADL spy case.)

1987 ADL
While
the ADL worked quietly with America's top cops, it enjoyed
similar ties with Israel's spy agencies -- a charge that ADL leaders
vehemently deny. But as early as July 7, 1961, ADL director Benjamin
Epstein wrote to B'nai B'rith executive secretary Saul Joftes,
requesting $25,000 for his investigators. "Our information," he
boasted to Joftes, "in addition to being essential for our own
operations, has been of great value and service to both the United
States Department and the Israeli Government. All data have been made
available to both countries with full knowledge to each that we are
the source."

ADL spy scandal
just won't go away
by Jeffrey Steinberg
1993
Despite
a no-holds-barred arm-twisting and public relations campaign by Anti-Defamation
League attorneys, media
apologists,
and power brokers, the San Francisco ADL spy scandal which came under
investigation by law enforcement
authorities
last January just won't disappear. Throughout the summer, according to sources
close to
the
office of San Francisco District Attorney Arlo Smith, a battery of ADL
lawyers-all former U.S. Attorneys attempted
to
strike a plea agreement that would avert felony indictments against senior
League officials on charges ranging
from
illegal possession of confidential government data, to tax evasion, to foreign
espionage.
In
May, a co-conspirator in the case, former San Francisco Police Inspector Tom
Gerard,
was
indicted on five California state felony counts, and the indictment specified
similar criminal acts by longtime
ADL
undercover snoop Roy Bullock. Neither Bullock nor ADL officials Irwin Suall,
Mira Lansky Boland, Richard
Hirschhaut,
Judge Bruce Hochman, and David Lehrer have been indicted yet, although all have
been identified as key
players
in the West Coast spy ring, and Assistant San Francisco District Attorney John
Dwyer told reporters earlier
this
year that the ADL's Fact Finding Division, headquartered in New York City, was
at the center of the criminal
conspiracy.
In fact, sources close to the San Francisco probe
report that the "mother lode" of illegally obtained spy data is
maintained
at the ADL' s national headquarters in New York City,
where there is reportedly a large file room containing microfilm
copies
of data on over a million American citizens.
1996: Office of Naval Intelligence
In
1996 it was revealed that the Office of Naval Intelligence had confirmed
that “US technology has been acquired [by China]
through Israel in the form of the Lavi fighter
and possibly SAM [surface-to-air] missile technology.” According to the report,
this technology transfer
“represents
a dramatic step forward for Chinese military aviation.”
Israeli Espionage Against the US dated 2004:
This survey of Israeli spying on the US was compiled
in 1997.
The Washington Post reported in a front-page story on
May 7th, 1997 that US intelligence had intercepted a conversation in which two
Israeli officials had discussed the possibility of getting a confidential
letter that then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher had written to
Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat. One of the Israelis had commented that they
may get the letter from
“Mega”– apparently a codename for an
Israeli agent within the US government.
Three relevant documents were made public in early
1996:
1)
A General Accounting Office report “Defense Industrial Security: Weaknesses in
US Security Arrangements With Foreign-Owned Defense Contractors” found that
according to intelligence sources “Country A” (identified by intelligence
sources as Israel, Washington Times, 2/22/96) “conducts the most aggressive
espionage operation against the United States of any US ally.” The Jerusalem
Post (8/30/96) quoted the report, “Classified military information and
sensitive military technologies are high-priority targets for the intelligence
agencies of this country.”
The report described “An espionage operation run by
the intelligence organization responsible for collecting scientific and
technologic information for [Israel] paid a US government employee to obtain US
classified military intelligence documents.” The Washington Report on Middle
East Affairs (Shawn L. Twing, April 1996) noted that this was “a reference to
the 1985 arrest of Jonathan Pollard, a civilian US naval intelligence analyst
who provided Israel’s
LAKAM [Office of Special Tasks] espionage agency an estimated 800,000 pages of
classified US intelligence information.”
The
GAO report also noted that “Several citizens of [Israel] were caught in the
United States stealing sensitive technology used in manufacturing artillery gun
tubes.”
2)
An Office of Naval Intelligence document, “Worldwide Challenges to Naval Strike
Warfare” reported that “US technology has been acquired [by China] through
Israel in the form of the Lavi fighter and possibly SAM [surface-to-air]
missile technology.” Jane’s Defense Weekly (2/28/96) noted that “until now, the
intelligence community has not openly confirmed the transfer of US technology
[via Israel] to China.” The report noted that this “represents a dramatic step
forward for Chinese military aviation.” (Flight International, 3/13/96)

The Defense Investigative Service circulated a memo in late 1995 warning US
military contractors that “Israel aggressively collects [US] military and
industrial technology.” The report stated that Israel obtains information using
“ethnic targeting, financial aggrandizement, and identification and
exploitation of individual frailties” of US citizens. (Washington Post,
1/30/96) (This report was criticized by several groups for allegedly implying
that Americans Jews were particularly suspect.)
From New York Times December 22, 1985, by David K.
Shipler:
Many
American officials are convinced of Israel’s ability, on a routine basis, to
obtain sensitive information about this county’s secret weapons, advanced
technology and internal policy deliberations in Washington…
The
F.B.I. knew of at least a dozen incidents in which American officials
transferred classified information to the Israelis, [former Assistant Director
of the F.B.I.] Mr. [Raymond] Wannal said. The Justice Department did not
prosecute.
“When
the Pollard case broke, the general media and public perception was that this
was the first time this had ever happen,” said John Davitt, former chief of the
Justice Department’s internal security section. “No, that’s not true at all.
The Israeli intelligence service, when I was in the Justice Department,
[1950-1980] was the second most active in the United States, to the Soviets.”
The name “Mega” in the recent Washington Post story may be noteworthy:
[I]llicitly obtained intelligence was flying so
voluminously from LAKAM into Israeli intelligence that a special code name,
JUMBO, was added to the security markings already on the documents. There were
strict orders, [Ari] Ben-Menashe recalled: “Anything marked JUMBO was not
supposed to be discussed with your American counterparts.”
One
of the little-known aspects of the Pollard case is that information was passed
along by the Israelis to the Soviets:
One
senior American intelligence official confirmed that there have been distinct
losses of human and technical intelligence collection ability inside the Soviet
Union that have been attributed, after extensive analysis, to Pollard.
- In March 1978, Stephen Bryen, then a Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffer, was overheard in a DC hotel offering confidential documents to top Israeli military officials. The F.B.I. found Bryen’s fingerprints on the documents in question, and he admitted to having obtained them the night before the meeting with the Israelis. Bryen was forced to quit his job, but was never indicted. He was later brought on to the Defense Department as a deputy to Reagan Administration Assistant Secretary Richard Pearle. There Bryen was in charge of such matters as overseeing technology transfers in the Mideast.
As late as 1992, Stephen Bryen was serving on board of the
pro-Israeli Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs while continuing as
a paid consultant — with security clearance — on exports of sensitive US
technology. (Wall Street Journal, 1/22/92, Edward T. Pound and David Rogers)
April 24, 1987 Wall Street Journal headline: “Role of Israel in
Iran-Contra Scandal Won’t be Explored in Detail by Panels”
* In 1992, the Wall Street Journal reported that Israeli agents
apparently tried to steal Recon Optical Inc’s top-secret airborne spy-camera
system. (1/17/92, Edward T. Pound and David Rogers).
* In early 1997, an Army mechanical engineer, David A.
Tenenbaum, told investigators that he “inadvertently” gave classified military
information on missile systems and armored vehicles to Israeli officials (New
York Times, 2/20/97).
Newsweek:
U.S.
intelligence officials are saying—albeit very quietly, behind closed doors on
Capitol Hill—that our Israeli “friends” have gone too far with their spying
operations here.
According
to classified briefings on legislation that would lower visa restrictions on
Israeli citizens, Jerusalem’s efforts to steal U.S. secrets under the cover of
trade
missions and joint defense technology
contracts have “crossed red lines.” Israel’s espionage activities in
America are unrivaled and unseemly, counterspies have
told members of the House Judiciary and
Foreign Affairs committees, going far beyond activities by other close allies,
such as Germany, France, the U.K. and Japan.
A congressional staffer familiar with a
briefing last January called the testimony “very sobering…alarming…even
terrifying.” Another staffer called it “damaging.”
The Jewish state’s primary
target: America’s industrial and technical secrets.
“No
other country close to the United States continues to cross the line on
espionage like the Israelis do,” said a former congressional staffer who
attended another
classified
briefing in late 2013, one of several in recent months given by officials from
the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), the State Department, the FBI and
the National Counterintelligence
Directorate. The intelligence agencies didn’t go into specifics,
the former aide said, but cited
“industrial espionage—folks coming over
here on trade missions or with Israeli
companies working in collaboration with American companies, [or] intelligence
operatives being run directly by the government,
which
I assume meant out of the [Israeli] Embassy.”
The top-secret NSA documents, which state that
Israel targets the U.S. government for invasive electronic surveillance,
and does so more aggressively and threateningly than almost any other
country in the world. Indeed, so concerted and aggressive are Israeli efforts
against the U.S. that some key U.S. government documents — including the top
secret 2013 intelligence budget — list Israel among the U.S.’s most
threatening cyber-adversaries and as a “hostile” foreign intelligence
service.
One
top-secret 2008 document features an interview with the NSA’s Global
Capabilities Manager for Countering Foreign Intelligence, entitled “Which
Foreign Intelligence Service Is the Biggest Threat to the
US?” He repeatedly names Israel as one of the key threats.
While
noting that Russia and China do the most effective spying on U.S., he says
that “Israel also targets us.” He explains that “A NIE [National
Intelligence Estimate] ranked [Israel] as the
third most aggressive intelligence service against the US.” While
praising the surveillance relationship with Israel as highly valuable, he
added: “One of NSA’s biggest threats is actually
from friendly intelligence services, like
Israel.”
Specifically, the Israelis “target us to learn our positions on Middle East
problems.”
Yet that same document complains that the relationship
even after 9/11 was almost entirely one-sided in favor of serving Israeli
rather than U.S. interests:
A Der Spiegel article
from last fall revealed that “Israeli intelligence eavesdropped on US Secretary
of State John Kerry during Middle East peace negotiations.” A Le Monde article described
how NSA documents strongly suggest that a massive computer hack of the French
presidential palace in 2012 was likely carried about by the Israelis.
A 2014 article
from Newsweek’s Jeff Stein revealed
that when it comes to surveillance,
“the Jewish state’s primary target” is “America’s industrial and technical
secrets” and that “Israel’s espionage activities in America are unrivaled and
unseemly.”
- The Israelis engage in active and aggressive espionage against the U.S., even as the U.S. feeds the Israelis billions of dollars every year in U.S. taxpayer funds and protects every Israeli action at the U.N.

The Franklin Case
A
clear illustration of a double standard is the case of Colonel Lawrence
Franklin, a case that clearly illustrates that espionage, when conducted by
Israel, is not treated as seriously by the U.S. government as other cases of
espionage. Franklin, a former employee at the U.S. Department of Defense, pled
guilty to espionage in 2006 for giving classified information to the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), as well as directly to Israeli
officials, in an attempt to pivot U.S. military forces engaged in Iraq towards
Iran.
The
Bush administration successfully pushed the Justice Department to pardon
Franklin’s co-conspirators and then pushed Justice to reduce Franklin’s 13-year
prison sentence to 10 months of house arrest. Subsequently, members of U.S.
Congress asked
Obama to pardon Franklin in 2016, asserting that “his [Franklin’s]
intentions were to save lives and protect this great country” despite the fact
that Franklin had sought to involve the U.S. in a war with Iran in order to
benefit Israel.
The Lavon
Affair 1954
The
Lavon affair ("Esek Habish" - the shameful affair) was one of the
most bizarre chapters in Israeli history. In 1954, the Israeli secret
service set up a spy ring in Egypt, with the purpose of blowing up US and
British targets. The operation was code-named "Susanah." The
terrorist hits were to be blamed on the regime of Egyptian President Gamal
Abdul Nasser, with the purpose of alienating the US and Britain from Egypt and
Nasser and somehow preventing Egyptian nationalization of the Suez canal. The
ring was discovered. Strict censorship ensured that that the Israeli public
officially knew little or nothing of the affair for many years. Names were not
mentioned, the affair was called "Esek Bish" - the affair of shame,
and key protagonists were referred to as "X" and "the third
man." Unofficially and through leaks, most people knew at least the
outlines of the affair.
The
arrest of the ring resulted in an affair that dominated Israeli politics for
over a decade. Israel was embarrassed, as it had been caught trying to
harm American and British interests for no reason and in instigating terror
attacks against innocent targets. The spies who were not executed were left to
rot in Egyptian jails. Meanwhile, a wave of persecution forced the emigration
of tens of thousands of Jews from Egypt, leaving behind property, memories and
roots. Investigations in Israel led to a trail of forged documents and perjured
testimony, as everyone involved tried to implicate others. To all of the above
would be added the ignominy of betrayal, as it became evident eventually that
Israeli agent Avri Seidenberg (Avri Elad) had probably betrayed the operation
to the Egyptians.
The
spy ring was not run by the Israeli Mossad intelligence service, but rather by
unit 131 of AMAN (IDF intelligence). The rationale behind creation of this
group was that they would be local sleeper agents, trained in various
techniques, who would remain in place and be activated only in case of war. At
some point, someone decided, for unknown reasons, to activate the ring without
waiting for war.
Excerpt: June 2018
Israel attacks USS Liberty
On
June 8, 1967, Israel attacked an American ship, killing 34 and injuring 174
Americans. The US government responded by covering it up.
Israeli
fighter aircraft and torpedo boats tried to sink the USS Liberty, a
surveillance ship stationed off the coast of Egypt during Israel’s attack on
Egypt and Syria. Israel was unable to sink the USS Liberty, but did manage to
kill or wound almost the entire crew. Thirty-four Americans were killed and 174
were wounded.
Two
explanations for the attack:
One
is that Israel, which was committing a war crime by mass execution of Egyptian
prisoners of war, was fearful that the USS Liberty’s surveillance had
discovered the crime. The other is that Israel fearing an unfavorable outcome
of the war that Israel had initiated intended to blame the attack on the USS
Liberty on Egypt, thus bringing the US into the war on Israel’s side.
Admiral
Tom Moorer, former Chief of Naval Operations and Chairman of the US Joint
Chiefs of Staff. Frustrated at Washington’s coverup, indeed, Washington’s
complicity in the crime, upon retirement Admiral Moorer convened the Moorer
Commission to set the record straight.
The
Moorer Commission concluded:
“That there is compelling evidence
that Israel’s attack was a deliberate attempt to destroy an American ship and
kill her entire crew.
“That fearing conflict with Israel,
the White House deliberately prevented the US Navy from coming to the defense
of USS Liberty by recalling Sixth Fleet military rescue support while the ship
was under attack.
“That surviving crew members were
threatened with ‘court-martial, imprisonment or worse’ if they exposed the
truth; and [the survivors] were abandoned by their own government.
“That there has been an official
cover-up without precedent in American naval history.
“That a danger to our national
security exists whenever our elected officials are willing to subordinate
American interests to those of any foreign nation.”

The Apollo Affair-Page 5 Paragraph 6:
On
the basis of the foregoing it must be assumed for the purpose of U.S. National
Security that diversion of special
nuclear materials to Israel by Dr. Shapiro and his associates is a distinct
possibility. Such a diversion might be evolutionary or revolutionary. NUMEC was
formed by Dr. Shapiro and his associates in 1957. ( Rest of paragraph is

NUMEC:
Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation
December 2011
The Apollo Affair
Newly-disclosed documents have revealed that the
Israeli regime stole nuclear material from a US stockpile of enriched uranium
to build Tel Aviv's first atomic weapons.
The
Institute for Research on Middle Eastern Policy examined hundreds of
newly-declassified documents from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other agencies.
The
study revealed that Israel used its intelligence operatives in the US as well
as American Jews to infiltrate a US uranium stockpile between the 1950s and the
1960s and stole hundreds of kilograms of weapon-grade nuclear materials to
manufacture its first atomic bombs.
After
decades of Washington-imposed information blackout over the issue, the US
Department of Energy finally confirmed in 2001 that 269 kilograms of uranium
were stolen from the Numec nuclear facility in Apollo, Pennsylvania .
In
the 50s, the US had contracted the supervision of the Numec to Zalman Shapiro,
an American Jew suspected to have ties with Tel Aviv.
Over
a period of 11 years, following Shapiro's appointment, 269 kilograms of
enriched uranium were stolen from the plant under the course of an operation
conducted by four Mossad intelligence agents, Rafael Eitan, Avraham Ben-Dor,
Ephraim Biegun and Avraham Hermoni.
The
Israeli spy agency, Mossad, is known for engaging in intelligence and
assassination operations in many different countries.
Meanwhile,
US Congress members and the Energy Department officials have refused to revoke
Numec's contract or consider it as a security risk, despite warnings of
potential sabotage activities and evidence of infiltration at the nuclear site.
Since
1958, when Israel began building its Dimona plutonium- and uranium-processing
facility in the Negev desert, it is widely believed to have secretly
manufactured numerous nuclear warheads, earning the reputation of being the
sole possessor of such weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East.
Former
US President Jimmy Carter has attested to the existence of the arsenal, which,
he says, includes between 200 to 300 nuclear warheads.
Amid
the harshly-toned and increasing Western allegations against Iran's peaceful
nuclear program, analysts have questioned the West's continued refusal to
consider Israel's aggressive military agenda to be a threat against the
regional security.
September 5, 2018
WASHINGTON — A bill that was passed by the U.S.
Senate in early August and is currently under consideration by the House would
mandate that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) work
closely with the Israel Space Agency (ISA) despite the fact that such
cooperation in the past was used by Israel to steal U.S. state secrets.
The
provision is tucked within the bill titled the “United
States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018,” which would
also provide Israel with $38 billion in U.S. military aid over a ten-year
period, the largest military aid package in U.S. history. MintPress News previously reported that
this massive aid package translates into approximately $23,000 every year for
every Israeli family. However, the provision pertaining to NASA, which was
first identified by the website If Americans Knew, has largely gone unreported.
According
to the current text of the bill, NASA and the Israel Space Agency are mandated
to work together “to identify and cooperatively
pursue peaceful space exploration and science initiatives in areas of mutual
interest, taking all appropriate measures to protect sensitive information,
intellectual property, trade secrets, and economic interests of the United
States.” The text also references past agreements established between
NASA and the ISA such as the first mutual cooperation agreement, signed in
1996, and the 2015 “Framework Agreement for Cooperation in Aeronautics and the
Exploration and Use of Airspace and Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes” as the
basis for this “continuing cooperation.”
- Now that we have some background into the History of America's Greatest Ally let us now examine the Illegal Legislation that can only be considered to be treason by the United States Government against the people of the United States. A government that seems to reward espionage by handing the Country of America over to those that would destroy a sovereign nation the very People that have a constitutional duty to protect it.
- The Purpose for spying on the United States was to steal US secrets under the cover of trade missions and joint defense technology contracts. Contracts that in spite of the Israeli activity of espionage the United States Military, Homeland Security, and all agencies of the United States Government is still granting contracts to this rogue Nation that is not an ally but has proven to be a deadly foe, as the USS Liberty attack as well as other staged attacks against Americans are well known and are easily verified. There are many, many articles on the issue of Israeli espionage yet this rogue Nation in the current administration continues to receive Defense and Homeland Security Contracts as well as Contracts related to National Security Technology. Americans should question these contracts. 65

United States-Israel energy cooperation
(a)
Findings
Congress
finds that-
(1)
it is in the highest national security interests of the United States to
develop covered energy sources;
(2)
the State of Israel is a steadfast ally of
the United States;
- It has already been established that Israel is NOT an ally of the United States but instead is a foe that has engaged in espionage and theft of American Military Technology and has more than once been involved in operations that could and have led to war involving our sons and now daughters. This sentence in this legislation is beyond disgust.
(3)
the special relationship between the United States and
Israel is manifested in a variety of cooperative scientific research and
development programs, such as-
(A) the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation; and
(B) the United States-Israel Binational Industrial Research and
Development Foundation;
- BIRD and BSF and BARD are Israeli Espionage Agencies a known fact in the Halls of the District of Columbia. Which country actually benefits from a "strategic partnership" with a foreign nation under the guise of National Security? It has been absolutely proven that it is NOT the United States of America that benefits and indeed Americans are milked via legislation in monies that are in the hidden Billions that Israel receives in the Agriculture Budget, in the Miscellaneous monies that the Pentagon "cannot" account for, in the Billions of dollars in contracts of the Department of Defense, The United States Marine Corp., The Navy, The Army and the Air Force and these are just a few. The numbers of billions spent every year are an astronomical amount and yet Americans live paycheck to paycheck and on the credit usury system that yes these "Credit" Companies are Israeli owed.
April 22 1988
Weld-Burns spy ring purged at Justice Depts.
EXCERPT:
The
astonishing degree to which Israeli and Soviet intelligence has taken over the
U. S. Justice Department has come into focus following the ouster of Deputy Attorney General
Arnold I. Burns and Criminal Division director William
F. Weld on March 29. Burns and Weld have claimed they left office
because their factional enemy, Attorney General Edwin Meese, is corrupt, and
that their effort to oust him had failed. Washington insiders point to Bums and
Weld's known
ties
to George Bush, and see their departure as evidence of a brutal Bush campaign
shake-up. Neither version is correct. It now appears that the reason Burns and
Weld fled office, is that U. S intelligence professionals are on the verge of
proving that both officials oversaw crucial aspects of the
Jonathan
Pollard Mossad-KGB spy ring. Pollard had been arrested in November 1985 for
spying for Israel; subsequent investigation has proven his Israeli controllers
sold much of his information to Moscow. Both officials have good reason to fear
potential indictment for espionage or obstructing government investigations
into espionage.
This
is important when you consider that Burns 15 Bahama based corporate fronts were
used to facilitate the laundering of personal funds. The facts suggests that
the firms were crucial to the Israeli intelligence ring which ran Jonathan
Pollard. All 15 of Bums's Bahamas corporations did business
exclusively
in Israel, and only under the personal direction and authorization of Dr. Yigal
Ehrlich, the Israeli Ministry of Industry's chief scientist. Minister of
Industry Ariel Sharon,
Ehrlich's
superior, controlled the Pollard network, via his chief subordinate, Rafi
Eytan, who directed LEKEM, the Israeli spy agency, which employed Pollard.
NOTE: The Israeli government decided to disband
Lekem, whose functions were assigned to the Director
of Security of the Defense Establishment, adding technical and scientific
intelligence to its responsibilities which include internal investigations of
the defense ministry.
From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lekem>
How
LEKEM works in the U.S. The actual U. S. station chief for LEKEM in the United
States is General Itzhak Ya'akov, who is now based out of Robotics and Software
International (R SI) in New York.
Y
a' akov is the former chief scientist of both the Israeli Defense Forces and
the Israeli Defense Ministry. Ya'akov retired at an early age, in 1980, and
emigrated to New York,nominally to solicit high-technology investment into
Israel, especially its arms industries. His prime assignment, however,
was
to field espionage networks, including those later directing Pollard. Ya'akov
was certainly well suited for both tasks, having formed or sponsored a dozen of
Israel's top arms industries and arms smuggling fronts. Some of these fronts
later were implicated in the Iran-Contra
sales which the U. S. Justice Department has done so much to protect.
Ya'akov himself has traveled to Iran on several occasions, according to some
reports, on behalf of these U. S. -Israeli sales. But Ya'akov's connections are
not simply to Israel. Ya'akov's Russian-born wife has had a series of
interesting
previous
marriages into the exiled Russian nobility. U. S. intelligence sources report
she has come under investigation for possible ties to the KGB. Ya'akov and his
wife travel to the U. S. S.R. every year. Among the most significant operations
established by Ya'akov is BIRD.
BIRD had been formed in May 1976
by the U . S. and Israeli governments, nominally to "promote and support
mutually profitable cooperation between the private sectors of the U. S. and
Israeli high-technology industry. " In fact, BIRD's purpose was to
facilitate Israeli scientific espionage in the United States, as later seen by
its "tasking " of Pollard. This espionage was sanctioned by networks
within the U.S. government as part of the secret protocols of the 1979 Camp
David accords. The chairman of the Executive Committee of BIRD is the
abovementioned Dr. Yigal Ehrlich, the chief scientist of the Israeli Ministry
of Industry.T here are two prominent Americans on BIRD's board of governors.
One was, until recently, John Negroponte, currently deputy director of the
National Security Council, and one of the principal overseers of the
Iran-Contra deals. The other is Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for
International Affairs, David C. Mulford. Mulford is a former senior officer in
White, Weld, William Weld's family firm. Simultaneous with the formation of
BIRD, Arnold Burns began forming a series of Bahamian-Israeli research firms,
which to the naive government investigator, appeared to be mere shady tax
shelters, or fronts for illegal tax scams. Every single one of Burns's firms
was established by Burns in coordination with the above mentioned BIRD agent
Israel Rosen. All projects carried out at the firms was done under the
authority of BIRD's Ehrlich.
- BIRD is proven to be nothing more than a revived LEKEM a center for Israeli Espionage. The People of America are being deliberately deceived into believing that Title 42 USC 17337 Public Law 109-58 is in their National Security Interests when in fact this law gives Israel total control over every aspect of the lives of every American past, present and future. LEKEM has been given new names BIRD, BSF and BARD and repackaged to the American People. Code Name Talpiot.
(4)
those programs have made possible-
(A)
many scientific, technological, and commercial breakthroughs in the fields of
life sciences, medicine, bioengineering, agriculture, biotechnology,
communications, and others; and
(B)
significant contributions to the development of renewable energy and energy
efficiency through the established programs of the United
States-Israel Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation and the
United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation;
- BIRD-BINATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION - BIRD was formed initially with a total endowment of $200 million provided equally by each government (TAXPAYERS) of the United States and Israel. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation (Bird) 1976 for the purpose of promoting joint non-defense industrial research and development by Israel and the United States for their mutual benefit with an eye toward commercialization.
- One should be curious if an "agreement was signed in 1996 with BIRD than how was it that the United States Government was formed with BIRD as early as 1976? Gerald Ford was President in 1976 with Jimmy Carter following in 1977.
The Binational Science Foundation (BSF) as early as 1972? Nixon
was President and Kissinger was head of the National Security Council so the
Israeli's now had full co-operation with National Intelligence in the United
States of America. District of Columbia compromised Politicians follow in their
treasonous footsteps to this very day. Energy security is considered to be the
PILLAR of National Security. That being the case it becomes quite clear how
treasonous this Title 42 Public Law 109-58 is to the People of America because
no foreign nation should ever be involved in the National Security of the
United States. Especially to an Alphabet Agency like LEKEM aka BIRD, BFS and
BARD and let us not forget AIPAC another Mossad operation operating openly in the
United States of America.

on February 1, 1996, the Secretary of Energy (referred to in this section as
the "Secretary") and the Israeli Minister of Energy and
Infrastructure signed an agreement to establish a framework for collaboration
between the United States and Israel in
energy research and development activities;
(6)
Israeli scientists and engineers are at the forefront of research and
development in the field of covered energy sources;
(7)
enhanced cooperation between the United States and
Israel for the purpose of research and development of covered energy
sources would be in the national interests of both countries;
(8)
United States-Israel energy cooperation and
the development of natural resources by Israel are in the strategic interest of
the United States;
- Israel resources are in dispute. In particular are the "Oil and Gas" reserves in the Levant Basin and the Leviathan Field. Israel is "potentially rich in natural reserves" but not in reality as it is all in dispute.
EXCERPT:
But ever since the Leviathan discovery, Israel has
faced serious regulatory and political challenges, link. The
Levant Basin is shared by Gaza, Lebanon, Cyprus and the Turkey-dominated
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, leading to maritime disputes. Turkey and
Lebanon have challenged Israel’s right to the reserves, and the Israel/Lebanon
maritime border in the Levant Basin is disputed (see map) with Lebanon claiming
Israel is violating international law. From <http://www.factsaboutisrael.uk/israels-natural-resources/>
- So, all of Israel's so called contributions are only "estimates" and have no basis in actual fact. So it appears also that the resources of the United States are at risk in this Title 42 Public Law 109-58. The only claim Israel has to "Oil" is the Golan Heights which belongs to Syria legally and also according to the UN.
Excerpt:
Oil in the Golan Heights: Recent drilling has
found thick oil strata in the Southern Golan Heights north-east of the Sea of
Galilee, link.
Afek, an Israeli subsidiary of Genie Energy (a US oil company) say the oil
strata thickness is ten times the normal world strata thickness, implying a
potential production of billions of barrels. This could easily provide all
Israel’s oil needs, link,
link.
Compared to gas finds, which are well off shore, the oil find is relatively
close.
But
this area is disputed: Israel claims the oil and ignores claims that it legally
belongs to Syria, link.
Certainly, this area is just outside the 1922 League of Nations sub-division of
Palestine, which identified a Jewish homeland and which still legally stands
under Article 80 of the UN Charter, see
map.
From <http://www.factsaboutisrael.uk/israels-natural-resources/>
- "When" Israel’s natural resources of gas and oil are developed, they will bring Israel to energy independence. One must wonder if the "when" is when the middle east has been totally defeated, bombed into oblivion like Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya all under the guise of fighting "terror" a war without end all wars for greater Israel. When you realize how deeply connected United States-Israel is in the legislative process you begin to wonder….when did America become Israel?

U.S.-Israeli
Water Cooperation
As
one of the world’s leaders in water reuse and desalination technology, Israel
has expanded its cooperation with various U.S. states to export water reuse
technology. At the federal level, Congress has supported U.S.-Israeli
cooperation through legislation. P.L.114-322, the WIIN Act (Water
Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act), calls on the White House
Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop a coordinated strategic plan
that, among other things, strengthens “research and development cooperation
with international partners, such as the State of Israel, in the area of
desalination technology.”

(10) the United States can play a role in assisting
Israel with regional safety and security issues;
- Interesting that AIPAC plays a role in the safety and security issues in Israel. To date AIPAC has yet to register as a foreign agent as outlined in the FARA Act.
Its critics have stated it acts as an agent of the Israeli government
with a "stranglehold" on the United States
Congress with its power and influence.
The
American Israel Public Affairs Committee was founded in 1951 by Isaiah L. "Si"
Kenen.[13] Kenen originally ran the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs
as a lobbying division of the American Zionist
Council. Before that, Kenen was an employee of the Israeli Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
AIPAC's stated purpose is to lobby the Congress of the United States on issues and legislation related to Israel.
- And there you have it AIPAC's stated purpose. A foreign agent lobby's on issues of legislation related to Israel. A Mossad Agency in full view of Americans. A Zionist Committee for the American Zionist Council.
Supposedly AIPAC does not give money directly but rather raises
funds from other sources. But yet AIPAC can deliver campaign donations.
PAC is Political Action Committee which is an organization that
pools campaign contributions from members and donates them to campaign for or
against a candidate.

Most
notably, he was the executive director of the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) from 1980 through 1993 )
Thomas
Dine developed a network to influence every member of congress. The "vital
core" of AIPAC membership—American Jews[21]—made up less than 3% of the US
population and were concentrated in only nine states.[22] But while AIPAC would not be able
to deliver significant numbers of Jewish voters to most elected officials, it
could deliver campaign contributions.
AIPAC
created "caucuses" in every congressional district, with staffers
organizing any Jews living there. Campaign contributions were bundled and
distributed to districts and where they would do some good. According to
journalist Connie Bruck, by the end of the 1980s there were "dozens"
of Political Action Committees with no formal relation to AIPAC, but whose
leader was often a member.[22] The Wall Street Journal reports that in 1987
at least 51 of 80 pro-Israel PACs were operated by AIPAC officials.

AIPACS ROLE IN ISRAELS SECURITY
The
United States has long defined Israel’s survival and security as important to
its national interests. Accordingly, America provides Israel—the sole democracy
in the Middle East—with annual security assistance to help it defend itself, by
itself, against mounting threats across the region.
Please
thank your members of Congress for passing the Ileana Ros-Lehtinen United
States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018 (S.
2497)—authored by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Chris Coons (D-DE) and Reps.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and Ted Deutch (D-FL).
This
bipartisan bill seeks to ensure Israel has the means necessary to defend
itself, by itself, against a range of growing and emerging threats.
Additionally, please urge your members of Congress to support $3.3 billion in
security assistance to Israel and $500 million in cooperative missile defense
funding for fiscal year 2019, as called for in the 2015 U.S.-Israel Memorandum
of Understanding on security assistance.
The
legislation passed the House of Representatives on September 12 and the Senate
on August 1. The two different versions of the bill will need to be reconciled
before going to the president for his signature.

- AIPAC has yet to register as a foreign agent in the United States. Yet in reality that is exactly what it is. Here is the Law with the Link provided
The
Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938. FARA is a
disclosure statute that requires persons acting as agents of foreign principals
in a political or quasi-political capacity to make periodic public disclosure
of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities,
receipts and disbursements in support of those activities. Disclosure of
the required information facilitates evaluation by the government and the
American people of the statements and activities of such persons in light of
their function as foreign agents. The FARA Registration Unit of the
Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) in the National Security
Division (NSD) is responsible for the administrative enforcement of the Act.

- Title 42 USC 17337-United States Israel energy Cooperation. Public Law 109-58 continued thru 2024 per "agreement" October 2018. Israel is a foreign government so to bind that foreign government thru the legislative process is nothing more than an act of treason against the People of America. This document is 551 pages long governing all aspects of the lives of Americans. This presentation addresses only one aspect of the legislation of Title 42. Every American needs to read the Public Law 109-58. A link is provided here : https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-109publ58/pdf/PLAW-109publ58.pdf
Titled: Energy Policy Act of 2005
- There is NO SHADOW Government in America. There is only the District of Columbia who through illegal Legislation control every single aspect in the lives of every single American. There is not one Patriotic individual in the Halls of the District of Columbia. It is very clear that through Legislation there is NO loyalty to this country. All Loyalty in the Halls of the District of Columbia lie with one Nation and that Nation is not America it is Israel.
Excerpt:
In the decade of the 1970s, three U.S.-Israel binational
foundations were established to foster closer ties between the two countries,
to encourage development of Israel’s then nascent scientific community, and to
promote mutually beneficial research and development along with mutually
profitable business exploitation of new technology. The first of these was the
Binational Science Foundation (BSF), founded in 1972 for the purpose of funding
and permitting collaboration on a nonprofit basis by U.S. and Israeli
scientists for advancement of important scientific research that is the basis
for the technological development that eventually finds its way into the
commercial world. This was followed by the founding of the Binational
Industrial Research and Development Foundation (BIRD) in 1976 for the purpose
of promoting joint non-defense industrial research and development by Israel
and the United States for their mutual benefit with an eye toward
commercialization. It was to be managed as a kind of investment fund promoting
joint ventures between U.S. and Israeli companies to commercialize important
technologies for the mutual benefit of both countries. In addition to its
endowment, BIRD was also designed to be funded by repayments of grants from
joint ventures with successful projects. Then, in 1977, the Binational
Agriculture Research and Development Foundation (BARD) was founded as a
somewhat more mission oriented BSF to fund and promote collaboration by U.S.
and Israeli scientists on important agricultural research and development
projects of mutual interest and benefit. In these projects full collaboration
between the U.S. and Israeli scientists was required and the budget was equally
distributed between the U.S. and Israeli investigators.
