Before jumping in to the quagmire that is the weaponized antisemitism campaign against Jeremy Corbyn (and the broader left), we need some background.
In 2014, Israel launched a vicious bombardment of Gaza wiping out over 2000 people, 500 children among them. What they didn’t expect was the backlash and revulsion against their actions. Particularly in the UK.
Even Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, pushed for the British parliament to recognize Palestine within just 6 weeks of the slaughter in Gaza. Even Conservatives such as Sir Alan Duncan (who is mentioned later in this blog) favored the motion.
Israel went in to overdrive on the propaganda and disinformation front. One such British conduit was the Community Security Trust (CST), a “charity” that monitors antisemitism. But whose head honchos are fervent zionists.
Remember that Corbyn wasn’t leader yet in 2014 when this particular “report” was compiled, so their main focus were Pro-Palestinian activists. Or anybody who criticized Israel’s actions.
I broke the accusations down in another blog:
The vast majority of of alleged antisemitic instances recorded by the CST was *non-political.*
One third of the allegedly politically motivated antisemitic instances was from far *right wing individuals.*
Less than twenty percent of the overall total were allegedly aimed at the slaughter that went on in Gaza in July and August, MAINLY aimed at ISRAEL.
If we leave the ambiguity of the claims and the dubious, unverifiable METHOD of collection to one side and accept the claims at face value, the alleged “antisemitism” recorded in the UK was NOT a result of support for Palestine, even though several pages of this report insinuated this. The main cause were louts, drunkards, school kids, the far right, non political scumbags and a lot of reaching. Yes, there were disturbing *reports* but what bumped the numbers up were the umbrella accusations that lumped people who criticized Israel – in the middle of one of the worst cases of mass slaughter in Palestine – in with unstable knuckleheads and racists calling for the death of all Jews!
Israel had completely lost the “antisemitism card” in 2014. What followed were the desperate attempts to get it back. And Corbyn’s election as Labour leader a year later ramped things up to fever pitch.
But, staying with the period of time just after the Gaza massacre and before Corbyn’s election, you have to look at the attitudes of the Jewish population of the UK.
A Jewish Chronicle survey in early 2015 (allegedly) showed that Miliband had only a 13% approval rating amongst Jewish voters, and that just 22% would vote for the Labour Party. Less than 10% of Jewish voters (again allegedly) favored the Labour Party stance on Israel.
73% of Jewish voters were claimed to have said that “the parties’ stances on Israel were either «very» or «quite» important in influencing how they intended to vote.”
Before Corbyn was elected there was a dearth of Jewish voters for the Labour Party. Especially Jewish voters who gauged who they voted for depending on how Israel was treated.
With this information in mind, let’s take a closer look at the public faces behind the Labour witch hunt.
LUCIANA BERGER
The hyped-up and in many cases entirely false claims that Luciana Berger was subjected to antisemitic hate-speech and threats of violence by the Labour left have formed a prominent part of [“the Labour hotbed of antisemitism”] narrative, which has been promoted by the anti-Corbyn media with the assistance of Labour rightwingers and the Zionist lobby.
Berger stated that “six people have been convicted of antisemitic threats and abuse against me … four of which have come from the far right and two of which have come from the left”.
One was said to be a “former Labour member” and the other was an “anti-fascist” who appears to have no connection with the Labour Party whatsoever, had a confrontation with Berger in 2012 – Corbyn became leader in 2015.
The other didn’t say anything antisemitic although he used the term “Tory c*nt”. That Berger was using Judaism as a weapon against Corbyn. And he was said to be Jewish himself!
She also went with the “police protection at Labour conference” lie, splashed across media headlines everywhere. The police accompanied her when she left the safe zone because she was under threat from right wing racists who had made death threats against her. Where the police didn’t accompany her was inside the conference itself where she portrayed the threat to be coming from!
Hodge wanted the “new definition” in order to protect Israel. To put Corbyn in an impossible position. Nothing else. I come back to this at the end of the blog.
The hypocrisy of the woman is mind numbing. In a single tweet, she dismissed an entire section of the UK Jewish population as not representing the “mainstream Jewish community”. The Charedi Orthodox Jews number between 50 and 67 THOUSAND Jews. Or around a QUARTER of the Jewish population.
“Shraga Stern is a member of London’s Charedi Orthodox Jewish community – and a member and supporter of the Labour party….Mr Stern was photographed meeting Jeremy Corbyn and Labour MP Dan Carden at Portcullis House in Westminster by Barking MP Margaret Hodge.
Mr Stern, who told the Jewish Chronicle that the appearance of the image made him feel ‘quite intimidated’, has been the subject of recent claims that he is against the LGBT community because of his activism in the area of sex education. However, he has said that he merely wants Orthodox communities to be able to continue to teach sex education to their children at home, in accordance with their tradition.”
Just in the same way that she dismisses Jews who support Jeremy Corbyn or who are anti-zionist. Do you see where these people want to take “antisemitism”?
But this wasn’t the first time she stuck her nose up to the Orthodox Jewish community.
“In 1987 the West London Synagogue approached Islington Council with a startling proposal: to sell its original cemetery to property developers, destroying the gravestones and digging-up and reburying the bodies lying under them. This cemetery (dating from 1840) was not merely of great historic and architectural interest – in the view of orthodox Jews, the deliberate destruction of a cemetery is sacrilegious. So when Islington Council granted the planning application, a Jewish-led and ultimately successful campaign was launched to have the decision reversed. I was part of that campaign. So was Jeremy Corbyn. Meanwhile, the then-leader of Islington Council (1982-92), whose decision to permit the destruction of the cemetery was eventually overturned, was none other than Margaret Hodge (though it is unclear whether she personally was in favour of the proposal).”
Margaret Hodge claimed that she had personally submitted 200 complaints about cases of antisemitism in 2018. In a follow-up email to the Parliamentary Labour Party, Jennie Formby wrote: “I am pleased that our improved procedures allow me to be able to correct an account of a submission made at yesterday’s PLP meeting regarding a dossier submitted with 200 examples. The 200 examples do not relate to 200 separate individuals. They relate to 111 individuals reported of whom only 20 were members.”
Ruth Smeeth of the Jewish Labour Movement claimed that antisemitism had become “normalised” in Labour and that under Corbyn there was “no safe space for British Jews” (Evening Standard, 20th September 2016).
Smeeth is reported to have spoken at a Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) meeting at the Labour Party Conference in September 2017 (Jewish Times of Israel, 4th September 2017 ), about the need to “break and destroy” the leaders of this alleged Labour Party antisemitism.
From 2005 to 2007, Ruth Smeeth had become director of public affairs and campaigns at pro-Israel group the British Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM).
BICOM is/was the equivalent of AIPAC, but in the UK.
“The group was set up in 2000 to counter alleged anti-Israeli messages in the British media but now works more generally to shift public opinion in favour of Israel.”
BICOM’s founder, Poju Zabludowicz and BICOM executive committee member Trevor Chinn helped fund her election campaign.
A 2009 US embassy cable from London, revealed by Chelsea Manning and published by Wikileaks, detailed a conversation with Ruth Smeeth about Labour Party affairs, saying she was a source they should “strictly protect.”
Apart from this dubious background, she was exposed as a proven liar. She claimed to have received 25,000 abusive messages which she implied were antisemitic.
What’s ironic is that the Community Service Trust, the “antisemitism watchdog” that she once worked for, debunked her wild claims:
“Community Security Trust charity….revealed that for the whole UK, over a 12 month period (from October 2015 to October 2016), there were 2.7 million tweets concerning Jews, of which only 15,575 (0.6%) were considered to be antisemitic. The authors found this low proportion rather reassuring.
This CST study covered the period in which Ruth Smeeth MP claimed that, since the Chakrabarti press conference on 30th June 2016, she herself had received 25,000 abusive messages, mostly on twitter, with 20,000 of these sent over a single 12-hour period. Following this announcement Smeeth was quoted widely in the press as having said this abuse was being done in Corbyn’s name and that the Labour Party under Corbyn was no longer ‘a safe space for British Jews’.
The problem is that such a large number of antisemitic tweets, allegedly received by Smeeth, were not picked up in the CST survey which ran throughout that period. In fact the maximum peaks the CST team found were around 200 antisemitic tweets a day, and that was for the whole UK.”
…..a survey into on-line antisemitic abuse had failed to pick up even a fraction those 25,000 abusive messages that Ruth Smeeth MP claimed to have received, and which, she implied, were mostly antisemitic and Jeremy Corbyn’s fault. As before the question was not whether Ruth Smeeth had been the victim of some terrible abuse, but in reality how much, and specifically how much from Labour members?
Yet two other prospective surveys indicated that whilst BAME MPs and Corbyn-supporting MPs got the heaviest abuse, Jewish MPs seemed to be relatively spared.
Now Jennie Formby’s figures provide further evidence that the relentless attacks on Labour have been wildly exaggerated. It seems of the thousands claimed, most – strangely – were never reported.
In a second prospective study published by Azmina Dhrodia for Amnesty, on-line abuse was tracked for 177 female MPs over the 6 month period from 1st January to 1st June 2017. Of the total of 900223 tweets received in total, 25658 (2.85%) were judged abusive.
Below are the top five women MPs receiving the most on-line abuse. Over the 6 months period there were two Corbyn-supporting MP victims in this top 5 group, with Diane Abbott getting around 8 times more abuse than the other four..
Once more Ruth Smeeth did not appear in the top group for abuse, which in this study would mean she had received fewer than 5 abusive tweets on average each day over this 6 months period.
Diane Abbott, who had never previously complained to the media much about her abuse and death threats, received 8,121 abusive tweets over this full 6-month period – almost eight times more than any other female MP. Yet this exceptional number was still well below the 20,000 claimed by Smeeth over a period of just 12 hours.
There’s much more to her dishonesty, but I’ll leave it there.
The mainstream media trolls
….various authors have drawn attention to the failure of the so-called disinterested outlets, including the BBC and the Guardian, in reporting on Israel, Palestine and alleged antisemitism. Drawing on extensive research by Philo and Berry of the Glasgow University Media Group, former BBC Middle East Correspondent Tim Llewellyn drew attention to deep seated pro-Israeli bias that set in to Broadcasting from the beginning of the 21st Century. The Media Reform Coalition (MRC) has recently provided us with some hard statistical evidence. Its report on media coverage of antisemitism in the Labour Party shows that (perhaps counterintuitively) the BBC and Guardian are among the worst progressive media, offenders.
Overall, we found 95 clear cut examples of misleading or inaccurate reporting on mainstream television and online news platforms, with a quarter of the total sample containing at least one such example. The problem was especially pronounced on television – which reaches far wider audiences by comparison – where two thirds of the news segments on television contained at least one reporting error or substantive distortion.
Over 250 articles and news segments from the largest UK news providers (online and television) were subjected to in-depth case study analysis involving both quantitative and qualitative methods
• 29 examples of false statements or claims were identified, several of them made by anchors or correspondents themselves, six of them surfacing on BBC television news programmes, and eight on TheGuardian.com
• A further 66 clear instances of misleading or distorted coverage including misquotations, reliance on single source accounts, omission of essential facts or right of reply, and repeated value-based assumptions made by broadcasters without evidence or qualification. In total, a quarter of the sample contained at least one documented inaccuracy or distortion.
• Overwhelming source imbalance, especially on television news where voices critical of Labour’s code of conduct were regularly given an unchallenged and exclusive platform, outnumbering those defending Labour by nearly 4 to 1. Nearly half of Guardian reports on the controversy surrounding Labour’s code of conduct featured no quoted sources defending the party or leadership.
Ware also directed a documentary described by the Muslim Council of Britain as «an anti-Muslim witch hunt” and The Guardian as “McCarthyite”. In another documentary, he falsely implied the head of a pro-Palestinian charity was using it as a front for terrorism and the BBC was forced to pay damages to the individual and publicly apologise on Ware’s behalf.
In fact, Ware has a long track-record of opposition to the left in Labour. In the 1980s he presented a documentary on a Labour council accusing the “hard left” of taking over local schools, which at the time was criticised in the BBCs own magazine for abandoning “any attempt at a reasoned, detached, analytic or investigative programme”.
The principal ‘witnesses’ offered by the programme were Labour Party ex-officials, appointed under Blair and deeply hostile to the members’ choice for Leader, Jeremy Corbyn. During the first years of Corbyn’s leadership it was officials working for the then General Secretary Iain McNicol who sabotaged the disciplinary process – not to protect antisemites, but so that Corbyn could be blamed for it.
…hundreds of statements from Jewish members entirely comfortable within the Party have been submitted to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission inquiry into the Party’s procedures. They are not difficult to find – yet none were interviewed. A whole constituency party, Liverpool Riverside, was grotesquely maligned as antisemitic and bullying, but not one member of the CLP, Jewish or otherwise, was invited to respond.
Both Jackie Walker and Ken Livingstone were fingered as expelled for antisemitism. Livingstone wasn’t expelled, he resigned. And no charge of antisemitism was made against either of them, as it could not be sustained.
«Israel is influencing student, activist and parliamentary groups in the UK, offering financial and strategic assistance in order to gather support among young organisers and shape British politics.»
UK: Israel funding spin trips as it smears critics
Officials assist in smearing critics, advising supporters and funding trips to Israel.
Israel is attempting to smear activists who question the illegal occupation of Palestinian land by helping to build racism cases against them.
…politicians, activists and Israeli embassy officials working to drum up support for Israel. Many enjoyed financial or strategic support from the Israeli embassy in London via Shai Masot, a senior policial officer at the embassy.
During the Labour Party conference, Robin recorded a discussion between Masot and Joan Ryan, a Labour MP and head of Labour Friends of Israel, at an LFI stand in which they alluded to a fund of more than £1m from the Israeli embassy used to send activists and politicians on paid trips to Israel.
The extent to which the embassy influences the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) parliamentary group with strategic and financial support is also revealed.
Robin is told by pro-Israel activist and parliamentary officer Michael Rubin that, according to Masot, «the Israeli embassy will be able to get a bit of money» to establish an LFI offshoot for young people.”
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is a «crazy politician surrounded by weirdos and extremists», Boris Johnson – the foreign secretary – is «an idiot whose deputy Sir Alan Duncan should be ‘taken down’», and Crispin Blunt is among a group of MPs that are strongly pro-Arab rather than pro-Israel.
This all according to Shai Masot, who introduced himself to Al Jazeera’s undercover reporter Robin Harrow (alias), as a senior political officer at the Israeli embassy in London.
Bearing in mind the media frenzy, the blatant lies of certain politicians and the Israeli weaving of webs, how do the accusations stand up to scrutiny?
The top ten constituencies with highest Jewish population actually INCREASED the number of Labour voters in 2015 and 2017 under Corbyn’s leadership.
The Home Affairs Select Committee report on Antisemitism of 2016 reported *Community Security Trust (CST) figures suggesting that around 75% of all politically-motivated antisemitic incidents came from far-right perpetrators.
“…despite significant press and public attention on the Labour Party… there exists no reliable, empirical evidence to support the notion that there is a higher prevalence of antisemitic attitudes within the Labour Party than in any other political party.”
*Of course remembering my earlier blog linked to earlier which showed how CST manipulated the figures and the definition of what antisemitism actually is in their 2014 report to exaggerate the non-right wing accusations. And that in 2014 the vast majority of alleged antisemitic incidents reported were non-political.
Also a reminder that at least 75% of alleged “politically-motivated antisemitic incidents came from far-right perpetrators” during 2016, what were the police reports the following year (2017)?
Of 94,098 hate crimes reported to police over 12 months to March 2018, 76% were motivated by race and 9% by religion. Jews were victims in 1.1% of cases. Whilst religious hate crimes grew by 40% over the previous year (mostly against Muslims) hate crimes against Jews grew by an estimated 0.2%.
Again, and I can’t stress this enough, remember that the majority of instances deemed “antisemitic” attributed to “left wing” or Pro-Palestinian elements in 2014, the alleged “antisemitism” were online posts. Deemed “antisemitic” for criticizing Israel’s actions in Gaza. The Israeli lobby pushed this narrative from the start.
During this same period, the World Jewish Congress reported that 90% of antisemitic tweets in the UK came from far right accounts.
— Between April 2018 and January 2019 the Labour Party received 1,106 complaints about party members alleged to have engaged in antisemitic behaviour.
— It was found that 433 of the individuals complained about were not even members of the Labour Party.
— Another 220 complaints did not provide sufficient evidence of a breach of party rules to proceed with an investigation.
— Of the 1,106 individuals about whom complaints were received, only 453 were subject to disciplinary proceedings.
— Of these cases, 146 were considered not to be of sufficient seriousness to justify referral to the National Executive Committee Disputes Panel, and the members received a reminder of conduct. This reduced the number of cases that were of sufficient seriousness to be referred to the NEC to 307.
— By January the NEC disputes panel had dealt with 96 of these 307 cases.
— 7 cases were closed as the full evidence suggested no further action should be taken
— a further 25 received a reminder of conduct.
— 16 members received a formal warning.
— Only 42 of the 96 cases were considered serious enough to be referred to the party’s National Constitutional Committee, which had so far dealt with 18 of them.
— As a result 6 members had received sanctions and 12 had been expelled.
Bear in mind that this is in a party with over half a million members, and in circumstances where a number of hardline Zionist outfits and individuals have been obsessively trawling through individuals’ social media accounts going back years in order to find examples of party members promoting antisemitism. (Jennie Formby stated that some of the complaints were about posts that were up to eight years old. One concerned an individual who had died in 2016.) The figures demonstrate that there is a problem of [me: alleged] antisemitic behaviour in the Labour Party, which obviously needs to be dealt with, but that it’s thankfully at a relatively low level. This certainly puts into context the dominant media narrative about the Labour Party supposedly being a hotbed of Jew-hatred.
The hyped-up and in many cases entirely false claims that Luciana Berger was subjected to antisemitic hate-speech and threats of violence by the Labour left have formed a prominent part of that narrative, which has been promoted by the anti-Corbyn media with the assistance of Labour rightwingers and the Zionist lobby. Hopefully the analysis presented here will help to demolish this politically-motivated campaign of defamation against Labour Party members.
Now let’s look at the results of a survey on “The Attitudes of British Jews towards Israel” taken by the Department of Sociology School of Arts and Social Sciences, City University London:
— 41% of British Jews do not self identify as Zionists.
— *Beyond their near-universal commitment to Israel as a Jewish state, respondents are divided on most of the political issues confronting the country. There is, however a clear majority position on three key matters:
— Peace is seen as a priority: Of nine suggested priorities for the new Israeli government, “pursuing peace negotiations with the Palestinians” is ranked first (61% chose it);
— this is followed by action to “halt the expansion of settlements” (46%).
— half of those with an opinion is in favour of conducting peace negotiations with Hamas (42%:42%).
— *The vast majority of respondents (71% as against 16%) agree that “the two state solution is the only way Israel will achieve peace with its neighbours in the Middle East”.
— “Israel should give up territory in exchange for guarantees of peace”, endorsed by 62%:25%;
— the perception that Israel is “an occupying power in the West Bank”, agreed to by 53%:29%.
— Palestinian rights to a land of their own: On this central issue, 72% (as against 14%) accept that the Palestinians have a “legitimate claim to a land of their own”.
* the “near universal commitment to Israel as a Jewish state” is based on a loaded question about “Israel’s right to exist”
* the “two state solution” is dead in the water given the fragmentation of Palestinian territory.
Even with the two hasbara talking points brought up in the survey, where nearly half don’t describe themselves as zionists, a cross section agree that:
the idea of land must be given up to Palestinians;
pursuing peace negotiations, even with Hamas;
the halting of the settlements;
the description of the “occupation of the West Bank”;
These are the opinions and wishes of Jews in the UK. Any mention of these very same topics would immediately come under the weaponized “antisemitism” spotlight in the current atmosphere.
These legitimate criticisms of Israel are the basis of the same criticisms that are deemed antisemitic when uttered by those on the left.
What makes the issue more pressing is that Israel is doing absolutely nothing about any of the topics mentioned. Nothing other than killing and tightening the screw even more. Because it’s easier.
Even the zionist Jewish organization, the ADL, questions one of the definitions of antisemitism contained in the IHRA definition as per “dual loyalty” to Israel!
The Conservatives have a proven more «antisemitic» base than Labour. But they are more loyal to Israel. So it’s never mentioned. Think about that.
Those who don’t unquestioningly support Israel are being painted as not being «mainstream Jews». That is, non-zionist or left wing Jews. And in the same breath, large percentages of these same «mainstream Jews» have voiced support for actions towards the search for peace with Palestinians that repulse zionism. Actions that zionism rejects. Zionism has in fact done the opposite of what «mainstream Jews» expect of Israel:
Given the fact that more antisemitism is found within the Conservative Party, why then do up to 70% of UK Jews vote for them? Israel and incessant propaganda.
Corbyn is a threat to the Israeli (and elitist, militaristic) project in the UK. The project that wants to see the UK “sucked in to the orbit” of the US-Israeli relationship, quoting an AIPAC member in one of the Al Jazeera videos posted earlier. They don’t want him anywhere near the leadership. They have twisted the word “antisemitism” in to an ever morphing, malleable term that can be chopped and changed in to whatever suits Israel.
Whatever their motives, so-called left wing politicians and media have blatantly lied about antisemitism in the Labour Party under Corbyn. This campaign started before Corbyn became leader. The “mainstream Jews” that Margaret Hodge refers to are the Conservative voting Jews that were never going to vote Labour in the first place! And if what supposedly offends the fake left wing politicians and media in the UK, that is, the refusal of the real left to bend the knee and accept Israel as being untouchable, they are actually ignoring the consensus of large numbers of Jews of all persuasions. Whether left wing or the arrogantly labeled “mainstream Jews”. And they are also endangering Jews themselves by ignoring the over 90% source of true antisemitism.
The far right. The zionist hijacking of the definition of antisemitism enables this.
I’ve ran through the lists of “Israeli fatalities” supplied by Haaretz, The Jerusalem Post, Israel Hayom and Chabad. I then went over them again with what is touted as the “definitive” latest list provided by Haaretz.
This latest Haaretz list provides the names of 199 military and 676 civilian deaths. A total of 875 deaths.
After weeks of MSM, Israeli mouthpieces and western apologists spouting the “1500” figure, the “07/10” narrative is falling apart.
MSM has revised the “1500” number that runs along their tickertape 24/7 to “1405” in recent weeks (but still utter the “1500” mantra in interviews-cum-interrogations).
Even more recently the total number of fatalities has been revised to “1200”.
Even though Haaretz provides just 875 names total. I say “just” put in comparison to the rising bloodbath in Gaza.
Let’s take a closer look at the numbers game.
Shortly after 7/10, Israeli officials claimed that they had already *confirmed* that more than 300 Israeli soldiers and 1,100 civilians died over a period of about 8 hours on October 7.
While the Haaretz figure for military deaths has apparently stuck at “199”, the Times of Israel reports 361 soldiers and 59 police officers killed (some names include fatalities post-October 7th)
From 450 people I researched, listed as “civilians” across multiple mainstream sites, before the clampdown on information 12/11 by media, google and social media, which forced me to call a halt to research:
Over 100 had no information whatsoever other than simply being on the lists. So it’s really just 350.
Alleged “civilians” who were actually military: 32; 14 of which were at the rave.
Alleged “civilians” who were actually armed members of their kibbutz security teams: 37
Civilians who were ex-military (served beyond conscript service and before retirement age): 28; 24 of which were at the rave.
Civilians who were treated as abducted for weeks, or who were only “identified by DNA” weeks later, even though the stories of the media and families placed them at home or close to home when they supposedly died: 19 (AT LEAST)
Civilians who died from an “airstrike” or “missile shrapnel”: 2
Civilians who were endangered by security team and military actions: Unknown figure but tales of grenades being tossed in to shelters (7 testimonies including the one quoted below) at the rave (having seen footage of military/security firing weapons from amongst civilians at the rave). Examples:
“Shir Georgie (f), Rishon LeZion. Death announced on 14th. Killed at the outdoor rave near Re’im.
‘The last they heard of her is that she was in a safe room with the security of the party and with cops…. We actually got a video. That was the last video that we have showing her scared in that room on the Saturday morning..’
“Outside, two other team members – Shachar Tzemach and Eitan Hadad – were guarding the clinic. They’d set up an ambush for the gunmen: Tzemach at the clinic entrance and Hadad between two cars across the road. Both were armed with M16 rifles.”
“The two kibbutz security-team members who’d set an ambush, Tzemach and Hadad, had run out of ammunition and retreated into the clinic. Grenades shattered the interior of the building.”
Among the civilian names are people who were fighting Hamas with knives, guns and trying to run them over in a car: 6
There were even two “victims” on the list who had been shot dead by an Egyptian policeman in Cairo alongside their Egyptian tour guide!
The military’s list also includes a soldier killed by friendly fire in the West Bank, a soldier killed due to malfunctioning ammunition on the Lebanon border, and a soldier killed in a tank accident in northern Israel.
(Times of Israel, 8/10/23)
79 people, not including ex-military (which are legitimate targets – for God’s sake every single Palestinian is a legitimate target in the Israeli “playbook”), or those who were apparently listed as “kidnapped” and likely killed by Israeli fire, aren’t “civilians”. The list of “civilians” is reduced to 597. *Without* having access to all of the data.
What would the statistics show if there was no censorship? Or the blatant attempt to drown us in confusing and false statistics??
The Gaza Health Ministry does it’s best in absolute nightmare conditions to keep up with statistics (which have been proven to be very accurate since 2012), so why the bluff and bluster of weeks of delays? Because they’re lying through their teeth.
Who killed who?
First off, I’m not denying Hamas was involved in random shootings. That’s evident from videos released and *first hand* testimony. The destruction caused by Israeli munitions on Israeli property can also be proven through video and photographic evidence, *first hand* witness testimony *and* through the perpetrators themselves. Yet this is ignored and buried.
What’s totally ignored is the fact that many Hamas fighters were held up anywhere from 8 to 24 hours in each kibbutz, and that within this time the majority of military deaths on both sides – allegedly 1500 Hamas (whatever the truth of the matter a significant number of fighters were killed), over 400 Israeli military and police, and at the very least 37 local militia members were killed in, as we’ll see, very heavy crossfire. And Israeli troops killing their own. Hamas fighters had taken over houses in the belief that there would at least be a standoff with many Israelis holed up in their legally obligatory “safe rooms”. There were no standoffs. Anywhere.
Before MSM was in goosestep mode:
“JERUSALEM – More than 200 Israelis, including soldiers and civilians, lost their lives over the weekend in a series of tragic events that shook the nation. Among the victims were young partygoers, soldiers involved in rescue missions, and innocent civilians *caught in the crossfire*.”
“The Israel Defense Forces has regained control of the Re’im military base in southern Israel, which houses the Gaza Division, from Hamas terrorists, according to Hebrew-language media reports.
*Earlier, the IDF said it was fighting Hamas terrorists at 22 different locations in southern Israel.
The military has been sweeping the towns where the terrorists infiltrated, reaching civilians who have been holed up for more than 12 hours.”*
Schwartzman told Reuters he was woken at about 6.30 am on Saturday by the booming sounds of rockets and that he and his family moved to their safe room an hour later after receiving a kibbutz-wide text telling them it was dangerous to be outside.
«We heard shootings and we were basically barricaded in for 21 hours until the army rescued us,» his wife, Keren Flash, took up the account. «We kept hearing shootings and gunfire *and bombs* and alarms, and we just didn’t know what was happening. Our worst nightmares.»
“Most of the members of the civilian emergency squad at Moshav Netiv HaAsara are veterans of elite units. They were prepared for a terrorist incursion and had practiced their defense.”
“IDF forces joined them only after 5:00 p.m., when the civilian emergency squad had already fought for more than 10 hours”
“In the fighting at Netiv HaAsara, 20 moshav residents were killed. Five were members of the emergency squad: Amit Vaks, Gil Tasa, Dani Woveck, Oren Stern, and Adi Baharav.”
“Ein Hashlosha: Some 15 members of the resident’s security team fought off terrorists for six hours until troops could arrive. The team’s leader, in his 60s was killed.”
“Nearly a quarter of the residential buildings on the kibbutz (Be’eri) sustained substantial structural damage, according to a Reuters analysis. This is likely an undercount; only buildings with burn scars or *obvious major structural damage were included*.”
Fighting was still raging in the kibbutz, almost 10 hours after it had begun.”
“A platoon from the 51st Golani Battalion arrived at the kibbutz in order to repel the militants, and became engaged in a battle that lasted several hours. In the late afternoon hours, the soldiers began evacuating kibbutz residents who were trapped in their homes.” (Wiki: “Kissufim Massacre”)
The following is with great appreciation for the investigative work of The Grayzone, The Electronic Intifada, Mondoweiss and The Cradle. I’ve added a little “meat on the bones” too.
“On October 11, Quique Kierszenbaum reported in The Guardian about his tour of Kibbutz Be’eri, a tour organized by the Israeli Army’s propaganda unit. He writes:
‘Building after building has been destroyed, whether in the Hamas assault or in the fighting that followed, nearby trees splintered and walls reduced to concrete rubble from where Israeli tanks blasted the Hamas militants where they were hiding. Floors collapsed on floors. Roof beams were tangled and exposed like rib cages.’
In another report in Haaretz in Hebrew (it does not appear to be available in English) on October 11, probably following the same army-guided PR tour, Nir Hasson and Eden Solomon interviewed “Erez, deputy commander of an armored reserve battalion.” He described how he and his tanks unit “fought inside the kibbutz, from house to house, with the tanks.” “We had no choice,” he concludes.”
There are multiple reports of explosions from people hiding in their “safe rooms” for hours on the outside, and attributing these explosions to Hamas using “grenade launchers” to break down front doors. The doors of the “safe rooms” had no locks on them as they were designed for remote rocket fire. Hamas had a limited amount of these heavier weapons. Using them on “front doors”? I don’t think so.
“Tuval Escapa, a member of the security team for Kibbutz Be’eri, set up a hotline to coordinate between kibbutz residents and the Israeli army. He told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that as desperation began to set in, “the commanders in the field made difficult decisions – including shelling houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the terrorists along with the hostages.”
A separate report published in Haaretz noted that the Israeli military was “compelled to request an aerial strike” against its own facility inside the Erez Crossing to Gaza “in order to repulse the terrorists” who had seized control. That base was filled with Israeli Civil Administration officers and soldiers at the time.”
The extent of damage obviously caused by munitions not available to Hamas, and various witness statements lead to the conclusion that orders were given, “Hannibal Directive” style, to destroy everything, even if there were hostages.
“Yasmin Porat, a survivor of the bloodbath on Kibbutz Be’eri near the Gaza border, says many Israeli civilians were killed by Israeli forces.
An Israeli woman who survived the Hamas offensive against settlements near the Gaza border on October 7 says Israeli civilians were “without a doubt“ killed by their own security forces.
This happened as Israeli forces engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with Palestinian fighters at Kibbutz Be’eri and fired indiscriminately at Palestinian fighters and their Israeli prisoners…
Israeli forces announced their arrival with hails of projectiles of all kinds, taking the Palestinian fighters and their Israeli captives by surprise.”
“After insane crossfire,” Porat continued, “two tank shells were shot into the house. It’s a small kibbutz house, nothing big.”
“According to the Israeli paper, “it became clear that the invading forces were asked in the last briefings to walk slowly into the settlements and outposts or within them, and under no circumstances to run, in order to make the pilots think they were Israelis. This deception worked for a considerable time, until the Apache pilots realized that they had to skip all the restrictions. It was only around 9:00 a.m. that some of them began to spray the terrorists with the cannons on their own, without authorization from superiors.”
And so, without any intelligence or ability to distinguish between Palestinian and Israeli, the pilots let loose a fury of cannon and missile fire onto Israeli areas below.”
“Adi Ohana was shot dead by Israeli police near his home after being mistaken for a Palestinian guerrilla. “An innocent man was killed in the most negligent way possible,” his niece complained. Israeli media is now filling up with reports of the military gunning down fellow Israelis, even as they were defending their homes from Palestinian gunmen.”
“Shortly after learning of the Hamas invasion of Israel’s southern border area, Shayetet 13’s regular and reserve forces were dispatched by helicopter.
The special operations soldiers joined forces with other Israel Defense Forces troops in the area near the border, working to rescue hostages and eliminate clusters of terrorists.”
“The fighters operated in many locations along the envelope, *fighting battles under heavy fire* to eliminate terrorists and release hostages. The forces advanced from mission to mission according to various reports…. *The squadron positioned itself while receiving fire support from armored units and air units and began fierce fighting that lasted several hours.*
By the end of the hours-long fighting, the commandos eliminated or captured all 40 Hamas terrorists and successfully rescued the hostages alive.”
After a full month of MSM unquestioningly regurgitating Israeli statistics, and padding these lies with more lies about “beheaded babies”, they’ve been found out. They doubled the fatality numbers to pad out the statistics on civilians. The Israelis have been found to have used the same military tactics on their own kibbutzes as they use in Gaza without a second thought. Kill, kill and kill again. Because Palestinians were there. They’re killing their own hostages in Gaza too and adding them to the pile. What’s sickeningly obvious is the blatant racism in the approach to the statistics. MSM anchors watch Israeli mouthpieces lecture from atop a mountain of dead kids and turn the conversation around to “Do you condemn Hamas?”. And many of the Israeli statistics, even if they’re bullshit, have a photo, a name and a story. While nearly TEN TIMES the amount of Palestinian kids, compared to their massaged numbers, are in the ground or underneath rubble. Anonymous and branded guilty. Of something.
Below are a selection of images that show both the structural damage that could only have been caused by Israeli tanks and artillery, and victims who were classified as “civilians” across Israeli MSM.
Between the Second Intifada in 2000 until the settlers moved out of Gaza in 2005, 3352 Palestinians (681 children) and 995 Israelis (118 children) were killed.
In July and November of 2001, and January and July of 2002, ceasefires were broken by Israel’s targeted assassination of Fatah and Hamas leaders.
During a ceasefire in June and July of 2003, held up despite mass arrests and provocations, it was eventually broken by a publicly disowned Hamas faction and lead to the assassination of the Hamas ceasefire’s negotiator, Ismail Abu Shanab, described as “one of the most powerful voices for peace”.
This same disowned faction would in 2014 be accused of the kidnapping of three settlers, leading to that summer’s massacre, and the dissolution of the proposed “Hamas-Fatah Unity Government”. Take from that what you will.
Another proposed “10 year ceasefire” in January 2004 was answered with the bulldozing of 40 homes in Rafah and the killing of 5 civilians including an 11 year old boy.
March/April 2004, two months after the offer of “a ten year ceasefire” in return for internationally agreed upon and legitimate Palestinian demands, Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Hamas leader Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, were assassinated.
This would be the template of Israel’s approach to peace and compromise. Manipulate and destroy. Over and over.
Zionists had plans other than that dirty word “peace”. By 2003, Gaza concentration camp was in the works. It was designed to be struck with full military force to counter human rights organizations whenever Israel vented its spleen against Palestinians. And secondly, because of what zionists described as the “demographic threat”.
“…seal the territory off from the outside world, and simply shoot anyone who tries to break out”
— Arnon Soffer, brainchild of Gaza concentration camp
Shortly after the disengagement in summer 2005, and 6 months before Hamas were elected in to power, Israel and the US had violated the understandings made to ensure the border crossings into Gaza remained open after Jewish settlers left.
“Every aspect of that agreement was abrogated,”
— US Special Envoy John Wolfensohn
50 per cent unemployment and a collapsed economy likely lead to the Hamas election in January 2006.
Israel enabled this.
Importantly, Israel’s blockade pre-existed Hamas’s rise to power and began when Fatah was still the ruler of Gaza.
After Hamas’ election, the blockade was described as “like an appointment with a dietitian. The Palestinians will get a lot thinner, but won’t die.”
— Dov Weisglass, Ariel Sharon’s right hand man in Washington
With this genocidal mindset in front of them, of course Hamas won.
Despite repeated provocations, Palestinians had been largely on ceasefire on and off for almost NINE YEARS out of the TWELVE YEARS since Hamas won elections in Gaza (2005-2017, at time of writing), and bar the 2018 Great March, when 241 Palestinians were assassinated and thousands injured, and infrequent skirmishes, maintained a unilateral ceasefire for around FOUR YEARS until 2023. Even during those skirmishes, over 1000 Palestinians, including 263 children were killed.
“we found that this pattern — in which Israel is more likely than Palestine to kill first after a conflict pause — becomes more pronounced for longer conflict pauses. Indeed, of the 25 periods of nonviolence lasting longer than a week, Israel unilaterally interrupted 24, or 96%, and it unilaterally interrupted 100% of the 14 periods of nonviolence lasting longer than 9 days.”
“Thus, a pattern does exist: it is overwhelmingly Israel, not Palestine, that kills first following a lull. Indeed, it is virtually always Israel that kills first after a lull lasting more than a week.”
Upon winning the election, and despite the usual bad faith actions of the Israelis in Gaza, Hamas maintained an internationally recognized unilateral ceasefire for close to EIGHTEEN MONTHS from January 2005 to June 2006.
In April 2006, they stopped the use of suicide bombers that had killed 300 Israelis previously.
According to the Israeli press, Ehud Barak, Israel’s defence minister, and his deputy Matan Vilnai…were plotting an invasion of Gaza throughout the…ceasefire with Hamas…they ignored every diplomatic overture from Hamas, including offers of indefinite truces, while they invested their energies in the coming ground invasion. In particular they worked on plans…to “level” Gaza’s civilian neighbourhoods and create “combat zones” from which civilians could be expelled.”
The already in place siege, multiple provocations and assassinations where 183 Palestinians, including 49 children died, didn’t break the ceasefire, but the Israelis succeeded in June 2006 by murdering an entire family on Gaza beach and targeting Hamas leaders. This, without taking in to account the killings of 20 Palestinians in the weeks before.
Operation “Cast Lead” in 2008 wasn’t the beginning of the slaughter in Gaza. There were also two operations called “Operation Summer Rains” (June 2006) and “Operation Autumn Clouds” (November 2006) – quaint names for massacres.
The former resulted in 240 Palestinians being killed. 197 of the total were civilians, 40 of those were children and 12 were women. The latter resulted in around 80 Palestinian deaths.
“According to Defense for Children International – Palestine, during the first year after the disengagement, and during Hamas’ unilateral ceasefire, the Israeli military fired over 15,000 shells into Gaza, conducted over 550 airstrikes on Gaza, and carried out regular military incursions into Gaza. A total of 525 Palestinians were killed and 1,527 injured during these attacks.“
For more than four months after 19 June 2008, Hamas refrained from any military actions that might endanger the negotiated truce or “calm” with Israel.
The total number of rocket and mortar attacks shrank from 245 in June to 26 total for July through October, a reduction of 97 percent.
“Publicly, Hamas leaders have stated time and again that the lull is a Palestinian national interest. On several occasions, Hamas members have arrested Fatah operatives who were involved in firing at Israel and confiscated their arms.”
— Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Even this was not enough for Israel, which violated the truce by imposing a terror-famine in Gaza for most of these months. But despite these violations, Hamas refrained from launching rockets until Israel definitively cancelled the truce on the night of 4-5 November by sending an Israeli commando squad into Gaza, where it killed six Hamas members. Hamas responded with 30 rockets.
“During the six months of the cease-fire [agreed on between Israel and Hamas in June 2008], there were 153 violations of the cease-fire by Israel, and 36 Palestinians in Gaza were killed by Israeli forces. Most important of all, the economic siege of Gaza continued.”
(PBS News Hour 01/05/09)
Israel was simply buying time to organize another slaughter.
(Ha’aretz; Wiki)
Despite Israel’s refusal to end the siege, Hamas brought rocket and mortar fire from Gaza to a virtual halt for six months, as revealed by a report by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) in Tel Aviv. ITIC is part of the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Centre (IICC), an NGO which is close to the Israeli intelligence community.
In the first days after the ceasefire took effect, Islamic Jihad fired nine rockets and a few mortar rounds in retaliation for Israeli assassinations of their members in the West Bank. In August another eight rockets were fired by various groups…But it shows that only one rocket was launched from Gaza in September and one in October.
The report recalls that Hamas “tried to enforce the terms of the arrangement” on other Palestinian groups, taking “a number of steps against networks which violated the arrangement,” including short-term detention and confiscating their weapons. It even found that Hamas had sought support in Gazan public opinion for its policy of maintaining the ceasefire.
On Nov. 4 – just when the ceasefire was most effective – the IDF carried out an attack against a house in Gaza in which six members of Hamas’s military wing were killed, including two commanders, and several more were wounded.
After that Israeli attack, the ceasefire completely fell apart, as Hamas began openly firing rockets into Israel, the IDF continued to carry out military operations inside Gaza, and the border crossings were “closed most of the time”, according to the ITIC account.”
Operation “Cast Lead” began on 27 December 2008 and ended on 18 January 2009. Between 1200 and 1400 Palestinians were killed.
It was yet another example of Israel trampling on any future peace deals. Even a unilateral one:
Post “Cast Lead”, Hamas has largely adhered to a ceasefire that came into effect at the end of a three-week “war” in Gaza in January 2009. However, smaller militant groups such as Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees have continued sporadic rocket fire.”
Sporadic skirmishes occurred between 2009 and 2012, but these skirmishes still resulted in 274 Palestinian deaths, including 37 children. And just 24 Israeli fatalities.
On March 9, 2012, Israel violated an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire and assassinated the head of the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees, sparking another round of violence in which at least two dozen Palestinians are killed, including at least four civilians, and scores more wounded.
70% of rockets/mortars were fired from Gaza during three distinct periods of escalation in March, June, and late October of 2012. Each of these escalations correlates with an assassination/killing, incursion, or other Israeli military action.
When Hamas was sticking to it’s unilateral ceasefire that year, even the IDF’s Gaza Division commander recognized Hamas’ attempts at peace, but Israel’s intentions were far from peaceful:
“Hamas is taking action to prevent an escalation and is turning from a terror group to a sovereign movement that is assuming governmental responsibility. They have to worry about feeding and educating people, and every act of terror costs them dearly.
“But the day the decision is made, we’ll know how to bring it to its knees. There will be a (ground) operation in Gaza. The only question is when,” — Colonel Tal Hermoni, the IDF’s Gaza Division commander
On November 14, 2012, two days after Palestinian factions in Gaza agree to a truce following several days of violence, Israel assassinates the leader of Hamas’ military wing, Ahmed Jabari, described by Israeli peace activists as “…one of the more practical actors on the Hamas side”, after a week in which at least six Palestinian civilians are killed and dozens more wounded in Israeli attacks.
He was assassinated just after receiving a draft for a long term ceasefire from Egyptian intelligence to open contact with Israeli intelligence.
On November 15, 3 Israelis were killed as a result of rocket fire from Gaza.
This came after Israel had killed 13 Palestinians, including 3 children and a woman, and injured 115, including 26 children and 25 women since yesterday, 14 November.
Operation “Pillar of Defense” (10 – 21 November) resulted in the deaths of 174 Palestinians.
Hamas again maintained a prolonged unilateral ceasefire from November 2012 to July 2014 (TWENTY MONTHS) despite Israel immediately and continually breaking it on a daily basis throughout that time and tightening the siege even more. Other groups sporadically responded to Israeli provocations.
Throughout 2013 there were a total of “32 rockets and 12 mortars” allegedly fired from Gaza. A 98% drop in numbers from the year before. None were fired by Hamas.
During 2013:
Less than 200 people per day were allowed out of Gaza in the first half of 2013.
Less than one truckload of goods per day were allowed out of Gaza during the first half of 2013.
57 percent of Gaza households are food insecure, and approximately 80 percent receive some form of food assistance.
35.5 percent of those able and willing to work are unemployed – one of the highest unemployment rates in the world.
Due to fuel shortages, there are power outages for up to 12 hours per day in most areas of Gaza.
Only 25 percent of households in Gaza receive running water every day, and then only for a few hours.
Over 90 percent of the water extracted from the Gaza aquifer is unsafe for human consumption, while needed filtration equipment cannot be imported to Gaza.
Nearly 90 million liters of untreated or partially treated sewage is dumped into the sea off of Gaza every day while equipment needed to build new or maintain existing treatment facilities are banned from entering Gaza.
38 Palestinians would be killed in 2013, the lowest number since 2000, but still higher than the number of Israelis killed by rockets fired from Gaza over TEN YEARS.
Then came 2014, the year we all thought was to be the worst.
From January 1 to June 12….Israelis killed approximately 30 Palestinians, 4 of them children. None of the Israeli killers were held accountable for the murders. Mainstream media outlets almost never reported on any of these killings. Yet everyone was made aware of the names of the three Israelis allegedly abducted and murdered in June.
Remember that “Operation Protective Edge” began on July 8.
Hamas did not attack Israel first. Israel bombed the homes of three families and killed two Palestinians (one of whom was 10-years-old) in Gaza before a single Hamas rocket was launched back.
13 MORE Palestinians would be murdered by Israel after the kidnapping of the Israeli settlers and BEFORE the first Hamas launched rockets on June 28 (Times of Israel)
Israel admitted that no rockets had been fired from Gaza by Hamas since 2012 even in the face of severe provocation and constant breaches of the ceasefire agreement.
9 MORE Palestinians would die BEFORE “Operation Protective Edge” was launched on July 8
Three Israeli teens were allegedly kidnapped on June 12th. The bodies would be “found” on June 30th a few kilometres from where they had gone missing. The Israeli government and intelligence service knew they were dead before June 14th when a burnt out car was found with the teenagers’ DNA.
The alleged kidnapping occurred just two weeks after the “Unity Government” between Hamas and Fatah had been set up (that is, it made no sense – it only benefited Israel).
The Israeli government and intelligence agencies knew that a phonecall had been received by police in which one of the Israelis told them that they were being kidnapped. Multiple gunshots were heard on the recording and the families were told that the shots were “blanks”. They also found blood and bullet casings at the scene, but lied to the families by omitting these facts.
IDF officers and police would later admit that they knew they were looking for “dead bodies” from a “very early stage”.
The Israelis would withhold this information to whip up the frenzy necessary to launch the carnage that they did on Gaza even though the alleged kidnapping occurred in the West Bank.
The Israeli Defense Ministry, IDF commander and government claimed that the teens were still alive for weeks afterward and placed a gag order on the media who suggested that they were dead as late as June 29, more than two weeks later.
On June 24, Israel’s propaganda mouthpiece, “UN Watch” called for the teenagers’ mothers to go to the UN to ask for help in finding her son.
They went accompanied by the Israeli Foreign Minister who knew that they were already dead.
The Israeli government and intelligence knew the identity of two of the alleged kidnappers within a day (they were executed in Hebron by the IDF) and that they belonged to a family in the West Bank that had carried out attacks before WITHOUT Hamas leadership approval nor knowledge. And that this was no different. The Hamas leadership denied any involvement.
Members of the alleged perpetrators’ families were arrested the day after the “kidnapping”.
The names weren’t released until June 26th. 14 days after the alleged kidnapping, during which Hamas was constantly accused by the media and Netanyahu.
The Israeli government watched as a Facebook page (which would go on to receive 40,000 likes) was posted calling for the murder of a Palestinian prisoner every hour that the Israeli teenagers were “missing”.
The Israeli government watched as flash hate mobs formed in Jerusalem shouting “Death to Arabs”
The IDF raided 18 houses every day for almost 3 weeks “searching” for the 3 Israelis, even though they knew they were dead.
80 Israeli air strikes on GAZA in June had killed three “militants” and wounded more than a dozen other people.
$3 million in cash and property is stolen by the IDF.
In spite of the Israeli rampage and assassinations, June 28 sees the FIRST Hamas rockets launched from Gaza.
On June 30, the Israeli bodies are found in a “shallow grave” just TEN kilometres from where the burned out car was found.
They lay in a shallow grave on property owned by Marwan Qawasmeh, one of the two men suspected in their kidnapping and killing.
Muhammad Abu Khudair, 16, is kidnapped, forced to drink petrol and burned alive on July 2nd. The day after the three Israelis’ funerals.
“Interrogation of six suspects in death of Mohammed Abu Khdeir reveals group attempted to kidnap 9-year-old boy in east Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina day before; one suspect confesses to killing.”
(Ynet News)
“Yishai Fraenkel, uncle of Naftali Fraenkel, called upon Israelis and Palestinians to “refrain from any type of violence” following the deaths of the four young men.
“The life of an Arab is equally precious to that of a Jew. Blood is blood, and murder is murder, whether that murder is Jewish or Arab,” Fraenkel told CTV News Channel in a telephone interview from Israel.
“There’s no justification whatsoever to revenge or do anything as a result of the barbaric murder of my nephew.”
Of course, this interview was ignored and buried.
In the following days and weeks, 2271 Palestinians were slaughtered, including 562 children.
Between then and 2022, another 1,265 Palestinians were killed during “peaceful” times, including the 2018 Great March of Return protests where 266 people were killed, including 50 children, and almost 30,000 injured in one year. 122 had legs amputated and 14 their arms.
(Al Jazeera, 30 Mar 2019)
And this year, 2023, before October 7, 213 Palestinians, including 44 children were killed.
(B’tselem)
Conclusions
That’s the “slow”, horrific history of Israeli occupation. Whenever a peace deal is on or near the table, those holding the olive branch are assassinated, along with scores of civilians and children, to slap it from their hands. And I say “slow” as opposed to the carnage of 2006, 2008, 2012, 2014 and 2018. In between, Israel doesn’t let up. But the death toll is at a “manageable” level. Just enough below the mainstream media threshold of when they are forced to begrudgingly draw attention to the area, while painting Israelis as the victims.
In between the carnage, the ugly sore of a concentration camp – which isn’t a slogan – is ignored by them.
This is the perfect formula for “radicalism” in the true sense of the word. “Radical” derived from the latin for “pull out by the roots”. Living under those conditions, who wouldn’t eventually snap and see no other way?
For a five year period after the Second Intifada in 2000, 995 Israelis were killed, and 3352 Palestinians, a ratio of around 3 to 1. Multiple attempts by both Hamas and Fatah to enter ceasefire agreements lead to the assassinations of those proposing them.
When settlers (colonialists) were removed from Gaza, the trap was set for the creation of a concentration camp disguised as “Palestinian autonomy”. From 2005 to Oct 7, 2023, the Israeli fatalities dropped significantly to just 215 over an 18 YEAR period, with many years the figures dropping to single figures: 2009 – 3; 2012 – 4; 2013 – 3; 2020 – 2.
1,509 Palestinians died during just a three year period from 2006 to 2008 and during prolonged ceasefires. With 4317 killed between 2009 and this year.
Now relatively secure, while Palestinians rot of course, they could have tried to resolve issues. But they chose to “kill and kill and kill again” as Gaza concentration camp architect Arnon Soffer says.
The current onslaught will be a multiple of all casualty figures cited here. But when you see the figures, how Israel doesn’t and has never wanted peace using manipulation, assassination and constant provocation, we are where we are today. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is on Hamas, whether a “terrorist organization”, “freedom fighters” or “zionist patsies”. There will always be young men and women willing to take up arms in this situation. If Hamas is “wiped out”, along with thousands of innocents, another group from among the traumatized will simply take over. And zionism depends on this. It’s why they pretended this year to be “taken by surprise”. They need armed groups.
The sad reality is that it takes atrocities, with unimaginable suffering and loss, for mainstream media to focus on this part of the world. Especially when, for the first time since the Gaza siege, it’s Israelis who had experienced death on such a scale. Now, after mainstream media mirrored the Old Testament, Israeli style calls for “an eye for an eye” retribution and the number of Palestinians killed more than triples the Israeli tally, it’s back to business as usual. The mind blowing mantra of “Israel has a right to defend itself” floods the airwaves.
We see that Palestinian civilians mass murdered through war crimes perpetrated are treated as subhuman by the mainstream media in the same way the apartheid state treats them on a daily basis. There are polar opposite scenes of Israeli funerals with mourners embracing in sombre scenes which are in stark contrast with those among the over two million NON Hamas members picking body parts of their children from the rubble to place in plastic bags. And the former being portrayed as the “superior victim”.
How can Israel be acting in “self defense” given what has been lain out here? How can Israel be acting in self defense, portraying itself as a victim, when they have been the aggressor, the constant instigator, and constantly planning to stab in the back anybody who offers a peaceful resolution?
Demographer and geostrategist Arnon Soffer was the architect of Ariel Sharon’s withdrawal from Gaza and the complete blockade that followed. In an interview published by the Jerusalem Post titled “It’s the Demography, Stupid,” May 21, 2004, Soffer said:
“When 2.5 million people live in a closed-off Gaza, it’s going to be a human catastrophe. Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today with the aid of an insane fundamentalist Islam. The pressure at the border will be awful. It’s going to be a terrible war. So, if we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day.”
Some have suggested that what Soffer predicted was a crisis due to Hamas’ fundamentalist Islam. A closer examination shows that Soffer said that Fundamentalist Islam would increase the problem, not be the source of it. To further analyze the architect’s words, the quote above is examined line by line below.
“When 2.5 million people live in a closed-off Gaza, it’s going to be a human catastrophe.”
Soffer is referring to his own Master Plan in which he had advocated for withdrawing the Israeli presence of colonial settlers and IDF soldiers from Gaza and then sealing the area. This predictably, inevitably, would become the open-air prison of “a closed-off Gaza.” Further he knew that the population would continue to grow while the blockade would prevent access to the additional resources needed. This demographer literally planned for the agony he saw coming.
“Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today,”
Here he has established what he thinks of Palestinians. In Soffer’s mind, they are “animals” even before the onset of such suffering, showing his disregard for their humanity in the first place. That is no different than the way Nazis viewed Jews, Slavs and others. Especially considering that the Nazis created a murderous Jewish ghetto in Warsaw and Soffer advocated for one for Palestinians in Gaza. Of course the pushback and the claims of anti-Semitism will follow this observation, but one should consider these four comparisons between the Warsaw Ghetto and Gaza.
Initially, some Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto were used for slave labor, while many others died of hunger and disease. Then the Nazis started the deportations to the genocidal Treblinka concentration camp. Thereafter, the 1943 uprising led to the brutal end of the Warsaw Ghetto. Most of the remaining inhabitants were killed in Warsaw or rounded up and sent to Treblinka. Clearly the Israelis have not executed the vast majority of the Palestinians, nor have they used Palestinians for slave labor, but the other two comparisons are quite revealing about the Zionist view of the “animals” of Gaza.
The remaining comparisons are the duration of the Warsaw Ghetto (under 3 years) vs. Gaza (7 decades) and the size of the population (450,000 in Warsaw vs. 2 million in Gaza). Accordingly, while the Zionists have not mechanically killed almost all of Gaza’s inhabitants, it has warehoused the “animals” for 70 years now. As Soffer predicted in his Master Plan, Gaza was sealed and it is has been an open-air prison for more than 10 years.
“with the aid of an insane fundamentalist Islam.”
Here Soffer clearly shows that he knows the problem is that placing people in an open-air prison will drive people mad because he believes “fundamentalist Islam” will make it worse. The key point of this sentence is not whether or not he is correct about the effect of “fundamentalist Islam,” but rather that he knows there would be a problem without it.
From this paragraph we don’t know what he thinks is the driver or the origin of Palestinian resistance, but given his designation of Palestinians as “animals” worthy of placement in an open-air prison, it is likely he has refused to acknowledge the problem started with 70 year-old Ethnic Cleansing of 1948.
Also noteworthy in this discussion of Hamas is that “Israel Helped to Spawn Hamas” as a counterweight to the PLO in the 1980’s. Again we don’t know how that factored into the architect’s Master Plan for Gaza.
“The pressure at the border will be awful. It’s going to be a terrible war. So, if we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day.”
So again we return to his cognizance of the inevitable consequence of his Master Plan. The people will resist their treatment at the hands of Israel, leading to war. In other words, what choice will the people of Gaza have? THEN, Israel “will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day.»
As Saree Makdisi astutely pointed out, this is basically what Israel has done to unarmed protestors over the past 6-1/2 weeks. Now over 100 dead and over 10,000 injured. The long demanded Palestinian Gandhis that showed up without weapons in the tens of thousands were gunned down by snipers so safely out of way, there is only one report of a minor injury to an Israeli soldier. (With conflicting details of that minor injury, even that one is questionable and there is no basis to attribute the injury to anything the protestors did.)
Let us now turn to an article that the Jerusalem Post published after a subsequent interview, “‘I didn’t suggest we kill Palestinians’,” October, 10, 2007. The whole piece further demonstrates Soffer’s contemptuous views, rather than make his position seem milder. For the present analysis, we will examine only two quotes though.
First, Soffer stated,
“I said we’ll have to kill them. I was right about mounting demographic pressures. I am also entitled to defend myself and my country.”
So in other words, Soffer created the Master Plan that would create these “demographic pressures” that inevitably would force a war in which Israel would “have to kill” the Palestinians. Soffer knew his plan would lead to a war whereby Israel would slaughter the confined and oppressed who faced no choice but to resist.
Second, is the subtitle of the article, noted here along with the title.
Geostrategist Arnon Soffer: I only said Israel would ‘have to kill them.”
Soffer believes he has created a distinction from the Nazi tactics discussed above. His statement implies he does not advocate the Nazis’ approach to mass extermination, but rather that his plan would compel the people of Gaza to eventually rise up, thereby requiring their slaughter. In other words, mass extermination is wrong, but if the Israelis make the Palestinians’ lives so miserable that they have no choice but to rebel against their oppressors, then killing Palestinians en masse will be justifiable.
What Soffer did not anticipate though was that this killing would also happen when the Palestinians protested unarmed in the tens of thousands.
Yet perhaps the most chilling of Soffer’s remarks comes from the 2004 interview. Soffer stated:
“the only thing that concerns me is how to ensure that the boys and men who are going to have to do the killing will be able to return home to their families and be normal human beings.”
What is so striking about this admission is the direct parallel to the concerns of Nazi officers and the high command about the effect mass executions by firing squad was having on the troops. As Facing History notes in the book “Holocaust and Human Behavior,”
“After watching the murders of 100 Jews by his unit in fall 1941, an Einsatzgruppen commander said to Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, ‘Look at the eyes of the men in this Kommando, how deeply shaken they are! These men are finished for the rest of their lives. What kind of followers are we training here? Either neurotics or savages!’ The mass murder of Jews by shooting had begun to have a strong psychological effect on many of the men who did the shooting. Some of these men called that effect Seelenbelastung, a ‘burdening of the soul.’ It threatened the soldiers’ morale and undermined their effectiveness. By the end of 1941, Nazi leaders were planning to annihilate all Jews in Europe, but they realized that they would need to use different methods that would increase the distance between the perpetrators and their victims.”
Indeed Soffer stated a near identical concern about the need to “to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day.” For his concerns were not about the victims of his Master Plan, but rather what it would do to “the boys and men who are going to have to do the killing.”
The recent atrocities in Gaza are nothing like the Nazi Final Solution. The sheer scale of that mass murder and the tremendous efforts and resources poured into the Holocaust are unparalleled. Something we hope mankind with its advanced technical and industrial capabilities will never repeat again.
Yet the mindset of the Nazis towards Jews and others is very comparable to the mindset of today’s Israel. No, Israel has not constructed death camps for Gaza. Yet Soffer’s Master Plan created the world’s largest concentration camp without a hope for life. The inevitable deadly consequences for Palestinians was and continues to be part of his Master Plan.

2012
In 2012, Belgian company Telogy International NV committed 23 violations of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (PDF) by smuggling 22 Tektronix oscilloscopes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Oscilloscopes are critical nuclear weapons testing and production technology and export-prohibited without proper end-user licenses. OTFI’s agents never entered either Telogy or the company that acquired it, Electro Rent Corp, into the SDN database to ward off banks and others from doing business with it – because Telogy smuggled the oscilloscopes to Israel.

“A boot stomping on the human face, forever” – Gaza
During eight days of “Pillar of Clouds,” Israel kills 160 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them civilians.
October 2012
“Hamas is taking action to prevent an escalation and is turning from a terror group to a sovereign movement that is assuming governmental responsibility. They have to worry about feeding and educating people, and every act of terror costs them dearly.
“But the day the decision is made, we’ll know how to bring it to its knees. There will be a (ground) operation in Gaza. The only question is when,” — Colonel Tal Hermoni, the IDF’s Gaza Division commander. [3]
However, we believe that it is important to look at the firing of rockets by Palestinian armed groups in context. For example, of the grad rockets, homemade rockets, and mortars fired by Palestinians between January 1 and November 1, 2012, approximately 70% were fired during three distinct periods of escalation in March, June, and late October. Each of these escalations correlates with an assassination/killing, incursion, or other Israeli military action. Only a small percentage of the other rockets and mortars that were fired during 2012 were fired in isolation from Israeli military actions in Gaza.[4]
On November 14, two days after Palestinian factions in Gaza agree to a truce following several days of violence, Israel assassinates the leader of Hamas’ military wing, Ahmed Jabari, threatening to escalate the violence once again after a week in which at least six Palestinian civilians are killed and dozens more wounded in Israeli attacks. [5]
In the draft, which I understand Mr. Jabari saw hours before he was killed, it was proposed that Israeli intelligence information transmitted through the Egyptians would be delivered to Mr. Jabari so that he could take action aimed at preventing an attack against Israel. Mr. Jabari and his forces would have had an opportunity to prove that they were serious when they told Egyptian intelligence officials that they were not interested in escalation. If Mr. Jabari had agreed to the draft, then we could have prevented this new round of violence; if he had refused, then Israel would have likely attacked in much the same way as it is now.
The proposal was at least worth testing. Moreover, it included the understanding that if Israel were to take out a real ticking bomb — people imminently preparing to launch a rocket — such a strike would not be considered a breach of the cease-fire and would not lead to escalation.
Instead, Mr. Jabari is dead — and with him died the possibility of a long-term cease-fire. Israel may have also compromised the ability of Egyptian intelligence officials to mediate a short-term cease-fire and placed Israel’s peace treaty with Egypt at risk. This was not inevitable, and cooler heads could have prevailed. Mr. Jabari’s assassination removes one of the more practical actors on the Hamas side. [6]

November 15
Today, 3 Israelis were killed as a result of rocket fire from Gaza.
This came after Israel had killed 13 Palestinians, including 3 children and a woman, and injured 115, including 26 children and 25 women since yesterday, 14 November.
This will be presented by Israel – and sympathetic or careless world media – as another justification for Israel’s attacks on Gaza to stop rocket fire. But this narrative is false.
Where there was calm and an effective truce, Israel chose to shatter it, bringing about the current deadly escalation. [7]
The ceasefire was immediately and continually broken by Israel on a daily basis from 22/11/2012 – 07/06/2014. [8]
2013
“During the past two decades the number of settlers in the West Bank has increased by about a quarter of a million people, from 111,600 settlers in 1993 to more than 350,000 in 2013. If one includes East Jerusalem, then well over half a million Jews now live in the territories from which Israel promised – back in September 1993 – that it would withdraw.”[9]
Turning the screw
🛑 Less than 200 people per day were allowed out of Gaza via Israel in the first half of 2013.
🛑 Less than one truckload of goods per day were allowed out of Gaza during the first half of 2013.
🛑 57 percent of Gaza households are food insecure, and approximately 80 percent receive some form of food assistance.
🛑 35.5 percent of those able and willing to work are unemployed – one of the highest unemployment rates in the world.
🛑 Due to fuel shortages, there are power outages for up to 12 hours per day in most areas of Gaza.
🛑 Only 25 percent of households in Gaza receive running water every day, and then only for a few hours.
🛑 Over 90 percent of the water extracted from the Gaza aquifer is unsafe for human consumption, while needed filtration equipment cannot be imported to Gaza.
🛑 Nearly 90 million liters of untreated or partially treated sewage is dumped into the sea off of Gaza every day while equipment needed to build new or maintain existing treatment facilities are banned from entering Gaza. [10]
Of course it’s a racist endeavour…
Israel admitted for the first time that it has been giving Ethiopian Jewish immigrants birth-control injections, often without their knowledge or consent. [11][12][13]
2014
29 Palestinians were killed from January to July before the slaughter during the summer of 2014 in Gaza. [14]
From January 1 to June 12 of [2014], Israelis killed approximately 30 Palestinians, 4 of them children. None of the Israeli killers were held accountable for the murders. Mainstream media outlets almost never reported on any of these killings. Yet everyone was made aware of the names of the three Israelis allegedly abducted and murdered in June. [15]
The onslaught, based on proven lies about the events surrounding the alleged kidnapping and execution of three Israeli settlers lasted 51 days, and kills upwards of 2200 Palestinians, most of them civilians. The massacre is famous for sniper killings of unarmed people and for the killings of entire families, 89 according to some authorities, typically wiped out in their homes by a missile strike.
Some context (which MSM omitted):
— 13 Palestinians would be murdered by Israel after the alleged kidnapping of the Israeli settlers and BEFORE the first Hamas launched “rockets” on June 28 (Times of Israel)
— These 13 deaths were in addition to the 30 Palestinians who had died in the previous 6 months.
— Israel admitted that no rockets had been fired from Gaza by Hamas since 2012 even in the face of severe provocation and constant breaches of the ceasefire agreement.
“While Israel has maintained it holds Hamas responsible for all rocket attacks, officials have said that smaller groups, such as Islamic Jihad, are usually behind the rocket attacks, while Hamas squads generally attempt to thwart the rocket fire.
Hamas hasn’t fired rockets into Israel since Operation Pillar of Defense ended in November 2012, and has yet to take responsibility for this latest barrage.” [16]
“we found that this pattern — in which Israel is more likely than Palestine to kill first after a conflict pause — becomes more pronounced for longer conflict pauses. Indeed, of the 25 periods of nonviolence lasting longer than a week, Israel unilaterally interrupted 24, or 96%, and it unilaterally interrupted 100% of the 14 periods of nonviolence lasting longer than 9 days.”
“Thus, a pattern does exist: it is overwhelmingly Israel, not Palestine, that kills first following a lull. Indeed, it is virtually always Israel that kills first after a lull lasting more than a week.” [17]
Lie upon lie upon lie…
ISRAEL LIED TO THE PARENTS OF THE THREE SETTLERS, THEIR OWN PEOPLE, THE US AND THE WORLD TO ENABLE THE GAZA MASSACRE.
🛑 The Israeli government placed a gag order on the Israeli media telling them not to report the deaths or investigation. Nothing was revealed by the Israeli media for a week except rumours that the Israelis were dead (June 19th)
🛑 July 1, two weeks later, the gag order was lifted. [18]
🛑 THE IDF KNEW. THE ISRAELI MEDIA KNEW. ISRAELI POLICE KNEW. NETANYAHU AND THE POLITICIANS BAYING FOR REVENGE KNEW. [19][20]
PERSPECTIVE
A maximum, exaggerated and unverified weight of 142 tons of explosives total were allegedly fired from Gaza in line with the supposed “12,338 rockets” and “6,500 mortars” claims over a 14 year period.
During and because of which 32 civilians died on Israeli soil.
Around 27 tons of explosives (maximum) were allegedly fired from Gaza during each of the most conflictive periods (2008, 2012 and 2014). Based on the amount of “rockets” and mortars *allegedly* fired.
In ONE YEAR alone, 2005-2006, 15,000 shells were fired in to Gaza by Israel, along with 550 airstrikes. A total of 525 Palestinians were killed and 1,527 were injured.
Within a 22 DAY period in (Dec) 2008 – (Jan) 2009, Israel dropped 3000 TONS of explosives, 75 of which contained depleted uranium, in to Gaza.
So, in this 22 day period in 2008, 21 times more TONS of (higher, more deadly and far more toxic) explosives were launched by Israel in to a very densely populated area, void of shelters, than in 14 YEARS of ALLEGED Palestinian projectiles.
According to Haaretz, in 2014 alone, a “bare minimum” of “6000 TONS” of bombs were dropped on Gaza by aircraft ALONE.
More than “800 tons” of explosives were boasted by the Israeli military to have been dropped on Gaza during the first WEEK of the 2014 slaughter.
An average of 200 TONS of explosives, over 1.5 times the alleged total tonnage of explosives fired from Gaza over 14 YEARS was being fired by Israel PER DAY.
During the same period “not fewer than 40,000 155 mm artillery shells” were fired in to Gaza AND an estimated 23,400 tank shells (according to “senior Israeli military figures” and their official website “Israel Defense”)
So within a four to five week period in 2014, 42 times the tonnage of 14 years of alleged Palestinian projectiles AND an extra almost FOUR times as many land and sea based explosive projectiles were fired as the much touted “19,000 projectiles” mantra.
A prime example of how crass and absurd it is to compare Palestinian projectiles to Israeli weaponry, technology and advantage is the “600 projectiles per civilian fatality on Israeli soil” scenario (whereby the alleged “19000 projectiles” in 14 years have killed 32). Compare this to the 600 artillery shells that were dropped in ONE HOUR IN the eastern Gaza City neighborhood of Shujaiya on July 20 2014. One hundred ONE TON bombs were also dropped from aircraft that same day within that same area. NINETY Palestinians were wiped out, property destroyed and hundreds injured. [21]
“In one of the most severely hit areas, Khuzaa and al-Qarara in the southeastern Gaza Strip, the UN counted 2,493 destroyed structures, 1,243 severely damaged structures and 2,014 impact craters.” [22]
How can Palestinian projectiles and this wanton ferocity of high tech Israeli technology and the sheer SCALE of it possibly be placed on the same level? How can they be compared?
[Between July and August 2014] in 72 incidents of bombing or shelling [on 72 houses where entire families were sheltering]…547 people were killed, including 125 women under the age of 60, 250 minors, and 29 people over the age of 60. [23]
In one single “incident” on 29th July 2014, 35 people, of which 20 were children and 8 women belonging to four families gathered under one roof were wiped out in a MOMENT. More than the number of civilian fatalities on Israeli soil (32) killed in FOURTEEN YEARS.
Given the massive numbers listed above for just a few of the most conflictive periods, how many tons of explosives have been dropped on Gaza since 2001? How many projectiles? [24]
THERE IS NO COMPARISON!
The Labour Coup
After the slaughter in Gaza in 2014, Israel had completely lost the “antisemitism card”. What followed were the desperate attempts to get it back.
Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, pushed for the British parliament to recognize Palestine within just 6 weeks of the slaughter. Even Conservatives such as Sir Alan Duncan, who would be targeted by the zionist lobby, favored the motion. [25]
Before Corbyn was elected there was a dearth of Jewish voters for the Labour Party. Especially Jewish voters who gauged who they voted for depending on how Israel was treated.
A Jewish Chronicle survey in early 2015 (allegedly) showed that Miliband had only a 13% approval rating amongst Jewish voters, and that just 22% would vote for the Labour Party. Less than 10% of Jewish voters (again allegedly) favored the Labour Party stance on Israel.
73% of Jewish voters were claimed to have said that “the parties’ stances on Israel were either «very» or «quite» important in influencing how they intended to vote.” [26]
BUT…
The top ten constituencies with highest Jewish population actually INCREASED the number of Labour voters in 2015 and 2017 under Corbyn’s leadership. [27]
Jeremy Corbyn’s election as Labour leader in 2015, ramped things up to fever pitch. And the once hidden hand of zionist influence in the UK gained a powerful ally. The British establishment and its whore media.
Israel went in to overdrive on the propaganda and disinformation front. One such British conduit was the Community Security Trust (CST), a “charity” that monitors antisemitism but which is run by fervent zionists.
Corbyn wasn’t leader yet in 2014 when this report was written. It was the first salvo in the weaponized antisemitism campaign, so their main focus were Pro-Palestinian activists. Or anybody who criticized Israel’s actions.
This was blatantly obvious when the report was broken down, and how the spotlight was placed on “criticism of Israel” during the Gaza massacre, and actually equating it with “holocaust denial”.
Of the CST total of 1,168 instances of alleged antisemitism:
— @712 were non-political
— @456 were political; of which:
— 159 showed far right motivation or beliefs
— 38 showed Islamist motivation or beliefs.
— 258 referenced Israel and Gaza in July and August
A breakdown of the “Gaza related incidents”:
“There were 110 incidents in July and August 2014 in which more than one type of political discourse was used by the offenders. In 45 incidents, *the offenders compared Israel or Jews to Nazis.*
“…48 incidents involved the use of phrases such as *“child murderers” or “baby killers”*
The alleged “258 [who] referenced Israel and Gaza in July and August” is basically the sum total for the entire YEAR. Which means that only when Israel was dropping tons of bombs on Gaza, did “criticism of Israel” allegedly occur — this in itself is NOT “antisemitic” as long as Jews as a whole aren’t blamed.
That is, 158 of the 258 alleged “Gaza related instances” were online posts lashing out at the Israeli *military and government* during the massacre in Gaza.
The vast majority of of alleged antisemitic instances recorded by the CST was *non-political.*
One third of the allegedly politically motivated antisemitic instances was from far *right wing individuals.*
Less than twenty percent of the overall total were allegedly aimed at the slaughter that went on in Gaza in July and August, MAINLY aimed at ISRAEL.
If we leave the ambiguity of the claims and the dubious, unverifiable METHOD of collection to one side and accept the claims at face value, the alleged “antisemitism” recorded in the UK was NOT a result of support for Palestine, even though several pages of this report insinuated this. The main cause were louts, drunkards, school kids, the far right, non political scumbags and a lot of reaching. Yes, there were disturbing *reports* but what bumped the numbers up were the umbrella accusations that lumped people who criticized Israel, in the middle of one of the worst cases of mass slaughter in Palestine, in with unstable knuckleheads and racists calling for the death of all Jews! [28]
The Enemy Within
Corbyn (nor anybody outside the loop) could have imagined what was going on within his own ranks. Until after he was ousted.
An 850-page internal party report was leaked, stuffed with the text of lengthy email exchanges and WhatsApp chats by senior Labour party staff.
The parties responsible for leaking the report did so because Labour (now led by Starmer), had no intention of publicizing it.
The report had been originally compiled as part of Labour’s submission to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, effectively giving Corbyn’s side of the story against his opponents.
But once Corbyn stepped down, the party bureaucracy under Starmer preferred to shelve it. That decision meant there would be no case for the defense, and Corbyn’s opponents’ claims would go unchallenged.
🛑 The report found that Corbyn’s own officials worked hard to sabotage his leadership from within, from he was elected leader in 2015.
🛑 Within a year, they had foisted upon him a rerun leadership election. He overwhelmingly won again despite attempts to sabotage the election by expelling thousands of members they feared would vote for him.
🛑 Senior officials frantically tried to engineer a third leadership challenge, in early 2017, on the back of what they expected to be a poor showing in two spring byelections. The plan was to install one of their own, Tom Watson, Corbyn’s hostile deputy, as interim leader.
🛑 To their horror, Labour did well in the byelections.
Soon afterwards, in June 2017, a general election was called.
🛑 Again assuming Labour would perform badly, senior staff drew up plans to stage yet another leadership challenge immediately after the election.
🛑 Hoping to improve their odds, they proposed that an electoral college replace the one-member, one-vote system to ensure no leftwing candidates could win.
🛑 These same staff had boasted of “political fixing” and interfering in constituency parties to ensure Blairites were selected as parliamentary candidates, rather than those sympathetic to Corbyn.
🛑 According to the report, correspondence between senior staff – including Labour’s then-general secretary, Iain McNicol – show there was no let-up in efforts to subvert Corbyn’s campaign, even as the electoral tide turned in his favour.
🛑 Labour officials frantically sent messages to each other hoping he would still lose.
🛑 When a poll showed the party surging, one official commented to a colleague: “I actually felt quite sick when I saw that YouGov poll last night.” The colleague replied that “with a bit of luck” there would soon be “a clear polling decline”.
🛑 Party bosses set up a secret operation – the “key seats team” – in one of Labour’s offices, from which, according to the report, “a parallel general election campaign was run to support MPs associated with the right wing of the party”. A senior official pointed to the “need to throw cash” at the seat of Watson, Corbyn’s deputy and major opponent.
🛑 Corbyn’s inner team found they were refused key information they needed to direct the campaign effectively. They were denied contact details for candidates.
🛑 Many staff in HQ boasted that they spent the campaign “doing nothing” or pretending to “tap tap busily” at their computers while they plotted against Corbyn online.
🛑 Labour MPs, John Trickett and Ian Lavery, confirmed that efforts to undermine the 2017 election campaign were palpable at the time.
Party officials, they said, denied both of them information and feedback they needed from doorstep activists to decide where resources would be best allocated and what messaging to use. It was, they wrote, suggested “that we pour resources into seats with large Labour majorities which were never under threat”.
🛑 They wanted to ensure the party’s defeat, while also shoring up the majorities of Labour’s right-wing candidates to suggest that voters had preferred them.
🛑 The aim of party managers was to ensure a Blairite takeover of the party immediately after the election was lost.
🛑 The message from one official cited in the report called the election result the “opposite to what I had been working towards for the last couple of years”. She added that she and her colleagues were “silent and grey-faced” and in “need of counselling”.
🛑 Others said that they were “stunned and reeling”, and that they needed “a safe space”. They lamented that they would have to pretend to smile in front of the cameras. One observed: “We will have to suck this up. The people have spoken. Bastards.”
🛑 Another tried to look on the bright side: “At least we have loads of money now” – a reference to the dues from hundreds of thousands of new members Corbyn had attracted to the party as leader.
🛑 The Labour report shows that party officials who helped the Tories to victory in 2017 were also the same people making sure antisemitism became a dark stain on Corbyn for most of his leadership.
🛑 These officials, the report notes, oversaw “a litany of errors” and delays in the handling of complaints – not because they were antisemitic, but because they knew this was an effective way to further damage Corbyn.
🛑 They intentionally expanded the scope of antisemitism investigations to catch out not only real antisemites in the party, but also members, including Jews, who shared Corbyn’s support for Palestinian rights and were harshly critical of Israel.
🛑 These officials also loosened the definition of antisemitism to pursue cases against Corbyn’s supporters who, like him, were vocal in defending Palestinian rights or critical of Israeli policies.
🛑 This led to the preposterous situation where Labour was suspending and expelling anti-Zionist Jews who supported Corbyn on the grounds that they were supposedly antisemites.
When Corbyn was eventually literally smeared out of his position in an unprecedented libelous campaign which involved the media across the board, and a party that preferred what looks like the most incompetent, dishonest right wing party since Thatcher, Starmer stood on the ashes of the hopes of millions.
He hurriedly sought to placate Israel lobbyists within and without his own party, distancing himself as much as possible from Corbyn. That has included declaring himself a staunch Zionist and promising a purge of antisemites under the IHRA rules that include harsh critics of Israel.
Starmer has also made himself and his party hostage to the conservative Board of Deputies and Labour’s Israel partisans by signing up to their 10 pledges, a document that effectively takes meaningful criticism of Israel off the table. [29][30][31]
The Fake Victims
While this was going on, there was a more blatant, fake and equally as damaging campaign going on. The fake “victims”. Where did they learn this method I wonder…?
Blairite Labour MP Luciana Berger lied about the “antisemitism campaign” against her within the Labour Party. [32]
Chuka Umunna, Sarah Sackman (JLM) and Mike Katz (JLM) denied ever having experienced or witnessed antisemitism in the Labour Party in 2016 only for all of them to discover just a couple of years later that the Labour Party was riddled with antisemitism from top to bottom. [32]
Margaret Hodge was front and center smearing Corbyn as “an antisemite and a fucking racist” even though she herself dismissed an entire section of the UK Jewish population as not representing the “mainstream Jewish community”. The Charedi Orthodox Jews number between 50 and 67 THOUSAND Jews. Or around a QUARTER of the Jewish population. [32]
It should come as no surprise seeing how she was leader of Islington Council (1982-92), who pushed the decision to permit the destruction of an Orthodox Jewish cemetery. The ruling was eventually overturned after a campaign by Corbyn! [33]
Orthodox Jews (remember, a quarter of the Jewish population in the UK) even signed a petition in support of Corbyn. [34]
Just in the same way that she dismisses these “non-mainstream Jews”, she rejects Jews who support Jeremy Corbyn or who are anti-zionist.
Margaret Hodge claimed that she had personally submitted 200 complaints about cases of antisemitism in 2018. The 200 examples did not relate to 200 separate individuals. They relate to 111 individuals reported of whom only 20 were Labour members.” [35]
Ruth Smeeth of the Jewish Labour Movement claimed that antisemitism had become “normalised” in Labour and that under Corbyn there was “no safe space for British Jews” (Evening Standard, 20th September 2016).
From 2005 to 2007, Ruth Smeeth had become director of public affairs and campaigns at pro-Israel group the British Israel Communications and Research Centre (Bicom).
BICOM is/was the equivalent of AIPAC, but in the UK.
“The group was set up in 2000 to counter alleged anti-Israeli messages in the British media but now works more generally to shift public opinion in favour of Israel.”[36]
BICOM’s founder, Poju Zabludowicz and BICOM executive committee member Trevor Chinn helped fund her election campaign. Zabludowicz’ father was an Israeli arms dealer with connections to the US neoconservatives.
A 2009 US embassy cable from London, revealed by Chelsea Manning and published by Wikileaks, detailed a conversation with Ruth Smeeth about Labour Party affairs, saying she was a source they should “strictly protect.” [37]
Her husband, Michael Smeeth, is a member of the executive body of the British-American Project (BAP)
⁃ Wiki
“Many BAP alumni are directly involved with U.S. and UK military and defense establishments.”
Many right wing journalists and BBC journalists are among its members. Among its founders are Ronald Reagan and Rupert Murdoch.
— John Pilger [38]
Apart from this dubious background, she was exposed as a proven liar. She claimed to have received 25,000 abusive messages which she implied were antisemitic. She claimed that 20,000 of them were received over a twelve hour period.
What’s ironic is that the Community Service Trust, the “antisemitism watchdog” that she once worked for, (unintentionally) debunked her wild claims. They claimed that there were a total of 15,500 “antisemitic tweets” had been sent throughout the entire year in question. And at its worst, there were a total of just TWO HUNDRED tweets per day that they deemed as being antisemitic. Smeeth lied through her teeth. And there was never a retraction by her nor the media. [39]
The reality was revealed by two surveys that indicated that whilst BAME MPs and Corbyn-supporting MPs got the heaviest abuse, Jewish MPs seemed to be relatively spared. [40]
Another study published by Amnesty International found that 2 female pro-Corbyn MPs were among the top five of 177 female MPs who received abuse online. Diane Abbott received the most abuse by far. While Ruth Smeeth didn’t even register among the top group which would mean she had received fewer than 5 abusive tweets on average each day. [41]
The mainstream media trolls
The supposedly “impartial” BBC and the supposedly “left wing” Guardian fully exposed themselves by 2018 as establishment/zionist propaganda tools during the Corbyn smears. Distortions, disinformation, false statements, misquotations, single source accounts, assumptions based on unverifiable or non-existent evidence, unchallenged and exclusive platforms outnumbering those defending Labour by nearly 4 to 1. Nearly half of Guardian reports on the controversy surrounding Labour’s code of conduct featured no quoted sources defending the party or leadership. [42][43][44]
A completely one-sided hatchet job was carried out by Islamophobe John Ware in Panorama’s “Is Labour antisemitic?” [45][46]
The UK Israeli lobby
The machinations of the Israeli lobby was also exposed during this time.
🛑 Israel was influencing student, activist and parliamentary groups in the UK, offering financial and strategic assistance in order to gather support among young organisers and shape British politics. [47]
🛑 Officials assist in smearing critics, advising supporters and funding trips to Israel.
🛑 Israel is attempting to smear activists who question the illegal occupation of Palestinian land by helping to build racism cases against them.
🛑 Politicians, activists and Israeli embassy officials working to drum up support for Israel. Many enjoyed financial or strategic support from the Israeli embassy in London. [48]
«The fashion is if you are on the left today you are probably very hostile to Israel, if not anti-Semitic.» [49]
— Israeli ambassador UK, Mark Regev
The extent to which the embassy influences the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) parliamentary group with strategic and financial support is also revealed.
“Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is a crazy politician surrounded by weirdos and extremists, Boris Johnson – the foreign secretary – is an idiot whose deputy Alan Duncan should be ‘taken down’, and Crispin Blunt is among a group of MPs that are strongly pro-Arab rather than pro-Israel.” [50]
The truth about “antisemitism in the Labour Party”
“…despite significant press and public attention on the Labour Party… there exists no reliable, empirical evidence to support the notion that there is a higher prevalence of antisemitic attitudes within the Labour Party than in any other political party.” [51]
(October 2016 Home Affairs Committee report on anti-semitism)
Of 94,098 hate crimes reported to police over 12 months to March 2018, 76% were motivated by race and 9% by religion. Jews were victims in 1.1% of cases. Whilst religious hate crimes grew by 40% over the previous year (mostly against Muslims) hate crimes against Jews grew by an estimated 0.2%. [52]
Again, and I can’t stress this enough, remember that the majority of instances deemed “antisemitic” attributed to “left wing” or Pro-Palestinian elements in 2014, the alleged “antisemitism” were online posts. Deemed “antisemitic” for criticizing Israel’s actions in Gaza.
During this same period, the World Jewish Congress reported that 90% of antisemitic tweets in the UK came from far right accounts. [53]
— Between April 2018 and January 2019 the Labour Party received 1,106 complaints about party members alleged to have engaged in antisemitic behaviour.
— It was found that 433 of the individuals complained about were not even members of the Labour Party.
— Another 220 complaints did not provide sufficient evidence of a breach of party rules to proceed with an investigation.
— Of the 1,106 individuals about whom complaints were received, only 453 were subject to disciplinary proceedings.
— Of these cases, 146 were considered not to be of sufficient seriousness to justify referral to the National Executive Committee Disputes Panel, and the members received a reminder of conduct. This reduced the number of cases that were of sufficient seriousness to be referred to the NEC to 307.
— By January the NEC disputes panel had dealt with 96 of these 307 cases.
— 7 cases were closed as the full evidence suggested no further action should be taken
— a further 25 received a reminder of conduct.
— 16 members received a formal warning.
— Only 42 of the 96 cases were considered serious enough to be referred to the party’s National Constitutional Committee, which had so far dealt with 18 of them.
— As a result 6 members had received sanctions and 12 had been expelled.
Bear in mind that this is in a party with over half a million members, and in circumstances where a number of hardline Zionist outfits and individuals have been obsessively trawling through individuals’ social media accounts going back years in order to find examples of party members promoting antisemitism. (Jennie Formby stated that some of the complaints were about posts that were up to eight years old. One concerned an individual who had died in 2016.) The figures demonstrate that there is a problem of [me: alleged] antisemitic behaviour in the Labour Party, which obviously needs to be dealt with, but that it’s thankfully at a relatively low level. This certainly puts into context the dominant media narrative about the Labour Party supposedly being a hotbed of Jew-hatred.
The hyped-up and in many cases entirely false claims that Luciana Berger was subjected to antisemitic hate-speech and threats of violence by the Labour left have formed a prominent part of that narrative, which has been promoted by the anti-Corbyn media with the assistance of Labour rightwingers and the Zionist lobby. Hopefully the analysis presented here will help to demolish this politically-motivated campaign of defamation against Labour Party members. [54]
Conclusion
Corbyn is a threat to the Israeli project in the UK. The project that wants to see the UK “sucked in to the orbit” of the US-Israeli relationship, quoting an AIPAC member in one of the Al Jazeera videos posted earlier. They don’t want him anywhere near the leadership. They have twisted the word “antisemitism” in to an ever morphing, malleable term that can be chopped and changed in to whatever suits them.
Whatever their motives, so-called left wing politicians and media have blatantly lied about antisemitism in the Labour Party under Corbyn. The “mainstream Jews” that Margaret Hodge refers to are the Conservative voting Jews that were never going to vote Labour in the first place! And if what supposedly offends the fake left wing politicians and media in the UK, that is, the refusal of the real left to bend the knee and accept Israel as being untouchable, they are actually ignoring the consensus of large numbers of Jews of all persuasions. Whether left wing or the arrogantly labeled “mainstream Jews”
Meanwhile…
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..[55]
JOSHUA MURAVCHIK
In a May 2015 interview, Muravchik stated that global criticism of Israel is due to Israelis being “white” and Palestinians “people of color.” He opined: “After World War II ethnic, racial, or national struggles became dominant, growing out of anti-colonial movements. People of color against the white man, a great redemptive struggle, and in the Arab-Israel conflict the Israelis are the Western, white guys and the Arabs/Palestinians are the anti-colonial people of color. The people who used to be down are now fighting to be up and that’s what’s important. You’re on their side regardless of how many bombs they put in pizza parlors.” [56]
Epstein
In 2015 former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak set up a limited partnership, in which he is the sole shareholder. That company invested in Reporty Homeland Security, established in 2014, becoming a major shareholder. Reporty changed its name to Carbyne. The company develops call-handling and identification capabilities for emergency response services… Jeffrey Epstein financed a considerable part of the investment, thus becoming a partner in the project. [57]
The service is being used in Israel and the US. [58]
The company’s executive team are all former members of different branches of Israeli intelligence, including the elite military intelligence unit, Unit 8200, that is often likened to Israel’s equivalent of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Carbyne’s current CEO, Amir Elichai, served in Unit 8200 and tapped former Unit 8200 commander Pinchas Buchris to serve as the company’s director and on its board. In addition to Elichai, another Carbyne co-founder, Lital Leshem, also served in Unit 8200 and later worked for Israeli private spy company Black Cube. Leshem now works for a subsidiary of Erik Prince’s company Frontier Services Group, according to the independent media outlet Narativ.
Michael Chertoff sits on the “advisory board” of Carbyne. [59]
In a raid on Epstein’s mansion in Palm Beach, video cameras hidden in clocks are found — one in the garage and the other on Epstein’s desk. He is believed to have used the cameras to tape his famous friends in sex acts with underage girls for blackmail purposes. [60]
It would later be claimed that he had an extensive video surveillance in his mansion in New York. [61]
Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s lawyer, will claim that “hundreds of people”, important people, “received massages” at Epstein’s mansion. [62]
“Massages” were also a theme at his Florida home. [63]
And on his private plane the “Lolita Express” [64]
Where there’s dirt…
A former Israeli soldier, Assi Moosh, was deported from Colombia for alleged links to a criminal network suspected of drug trafficking, child prostitution and tax offenses that spanned across several countries in Latin America.
He was head of an «international network of human trafficking, micro-trafficking and sex tourism». The Israeli gained a reputation locally for organising private parties in a room within his hotel. From their base in «little Israel» Moosh is reported to have run similar clubs exploiting drugs and children in Cartagena, Bogotá, Medellín, Ecuador, Mexico and Brazil.
Reports of how «ex-soldiers turned a Colombia fishing town into a sex and drug den» had been on the media’s radar for a while. In February Colombia Reports uncovered the tension within the popular tourist region caused by the Benjamin hotel. The report found that «Benjamin [hotel] employs and accommodates almost exclusively Israeli citizens, and was officially opened by 20 rabbis brought over especially from Israel».
Security in the hotel is reportedly coordinated by a Willington Vasquez, who, according to the report is also known as «Manuel, a former member of a paramilitary death squad». Locals from Taganga complained that the Israeli «tourism entrepreneurs» were running a drug trafficking network and prostitution business. [65]
2017-2019
In 2017, when the opposition in Honduras was leading by a mile against Hernandez, the vote count was shut down only to later show the elite «winning» by a 50000 margin. [66]
«All sorts of evidence of fraud came out. There was a tape where his people were talking about plan B for stuffing ballot boxes. There was a chat message, which I saw, from one of the electoral technicians, saying, “The fraud is now complete.” On election night, the manager of the contractor counting the votes actually briefly put out a message on Facebook saying “Nasralla, the opposition candidate, is the new president of Honduras. His lead is irreversible.” And then they just shut down the vote count and resumed it later, announcing that that lead had evaporated, and Hernández, the U.S. man, was the new winner.» [67]
— Allan Nairn, award-winning investigative journalist
The same year of this mass election fraud, a $300 million military deal was signed between Honduras and Israel. [68]
What eventually came to light was a Jerusalem Post piece which revealed that Hernandez had received a scholarship in the early 90s for a «young leadership program» run by Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation, Mashav. [69]
They «taught» him what they’ve been teaching every scumbag and sociopath that crosses their path:
«[In June 2019] US prosecutors unsealed court documents from 2015 which name Hernández as a target of a major investigation into “large-scale drug-trafficking and money laundering activities”.
The court filings also named several close confidants, including his deceased sister, Hilda Hernández, a former National party president linked to an IHSS fraud, and the security minister, Gen Julián Pacheco.
The president’s younger brother and former congressman, Tony Hernández, was arrested in the US last November (2018) and charged with conspiring to traffic tons of cocaine stamped with his initials into the US between 2004 and 2016.» [70]
The US/Israeli backed scumbags who’ve been running Honduras (in to the ground) since the 2009 coup are both typical deathmonger blue-eyed boys. [71][72]
In May of 2019, a multilateral military treaty between Honduras, Israel, and the United States will see the deployment of 1000 Israeli soldiers at Honduras. They will train the Armed Forces of Honduras (FFAA) and National Police (PN). The main mission of the troops is to train for border protection to stop migrants fleeing Honduras to the U.S., especially children. [73]
2018-2019
Don’t compare them to nazis?
Since 30 March 2018, Palestinians have been holding the GMR demonstrations, calling for the Palestinian right of return and the ending of the Israeli blockade. Thousands participated in the gatherings taking place every Friday and on special days at five locations along the perimeter fence; smaller protests were held during the week at the beach and at various locations near the fence during the night.
During the year long protests, 214 Palestinians, including 46 children, were killed, and over 36,100, including nearly 8,800 children have been injured. One in five of those injured (over 8,000) were hit by live ammunition.
Over 7,000 of the live ammunition injuries (some 88 per cent) were limb injuries, followed by injuries to the abdomen and pelvis. Hundred-fifty-six (156) of the limb injuries have resulted in amputations (126 lower limb and 30 upper limb). Out of these, at least 94 cases involved secondary amputations, due to subsequent bone infections. [74]
Afterword
During this particular decade, Israeli spying on their “biggest ally” went unabated and unpunished while important figures in the US establishment stood front and center demanding the release of Jonathan Pollard. UK based “philanthropists” loyal to the zionist cause which had bankrolled major players in the New Labour strategy, joined up with the British establishment to destroy a left leaning Labour Party. The Israeli lobby introduced the weaponized antisemitism scam in the US and UK. So obedient and desperate to protect Israel that the mainstream media, including the gatekeepers, fully exposed themselves.
And the slaughter in Palestine continued.
All the while, paedophilia based blackmail operations were being run by Jeffrey Epstein and his Mossad sponsors on an industrial scale.
This blog, like all of the other blogs on the same subject, may seem random and haphazard at times, but that’s because zionist operations across the globe are 24/7/365.
I didn’t even get to their 10 year interference in the Syrian nightmare, where they constantly and illegally bomb while arming and treating extremist mercenaries under the banner of “humanitarianism”. The same jets bombing Syria are the same jets bombing Gaza. The same medics frantically patching up mercenaries are the same medics who watch Palestinians bleed out on the streets like dogs. I didn’t get to cover Trump and his sycophantic treatment of this cult. I didn’t get to cover the machinations in Europe because I simply don’t know the details other than the likes of France and Germany introducing legislation to enable a war criminal.
And I didn’t get to cover the assassinations and bombings of Iran’s nuclear energy project and the ramping up of yet another war that somebody else is going to pay for and where somebody else’s sons and daughters will be dying.
The next decade will be exactly the same unless people are aware of this information. Share it. Please.
On Sept. 28, 2000, Ariel Sharon appeared at the Al Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem’s Old City with more than 1,000 Israeli police. In a blatant attempt to provoke Palestinians, he repeated a phrase that was broadcast during 1967 Six Day war when Israeli Occupation Forces seized East Jerusalem, “’The Temple Mount is in our hands,’» Sharon shouted. Palestinians reacted almost immediately to the threat to Al Aqsa.
…. Throughout the Second Intifada, Israeli forces also enforced an oppressive siege on the entirety of Palestine. Initially, Israel placed severe restrictions on Palestinians’ ability to move. Israeli human rights group B’Tselem reports that Israel blocked access to Palestinian cities and villages with “concrete blocks, piles of dirt, deep trenches, or checkpoints”. Israeli authorities also enforced an early curfew that prohibited Palestinians from even being outside of their own homes at certain points throughout the day and night. [1]
The Second Intifada lasted from September 2000 to (officially) September 2005. The number of fatalities were said to be approximately 3000 Palestinians and 1000 Israelis. (Wiki). I say “officially” because the deaths of Palestinians continued on a grand scale (over 1800 Palestinians killed by Israelis) between 2005 and 2008. [2]
The Oslo Scam
(Ehud Barak) promised peace and brought war, and not by accident. While speaking about peace, he;
▪️enlarged the settlements.
▪️Cut the Palestinian territories into pieces by ‘by-pass’ roads.
▪️Confiscated lands. Demolished homes. Uprooted trees.
▪️Paralyzed the Palestinian economy..
▪️Conducted negotiations in which he tried to dictate to the Palestinians a peace that amounts to capitulation.
▪️Was not satisfied with the fact that by accepting the Green Line, the Palestinians had already given up 78% of their historic homeland.
▪️Demanded the annexation of ‘settlement blocs” and pretended that they amount only to 3% of the territory, while in fact he meant more than 20% would remain under Israeli control.
▪️Wanted to coerce the Palestinians to accept a ‘state’ cut off from all its neighbors and composed of several enclaves isolated from each other, each surrounded by Israeli settlers and soldiers…(a la Gaza)
▪️Boasts publicly that he has not given back to the Palestinians one inch of territory…
▪️When the intifada broke out, sent snipers to shoot, in cold blood from a distance, hundreds of unarmed demonstrators, adults and children.
▪️Blockaded each village and town separately, bringing them to the verge of starvation, in order to get them to surrender.
▪️Bombarded neighborhoods. Started a policy of mafia-style ‘liquidations’, causing an inevitable escalation of the violence.” [3]
(Israeli peace activist, Uri Avnery, February 3, 2001)
«America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won’t get their way», Netanyahu said, referring to his plans for a «broad attack on the Palestinian Authority … [one which would] bring them to the point of being afraid that everything is collapsing».
2001
“They asked me (Netanyahu) before the election if I’d honour [the Oslo accords]», he went on. «I said I would, but … I’m going to interpret the accords in such a way that would allow me to put an end to this galloping forward to the 1967 borders. How did we do it? Nobody said what defined military zones were. Defined military zones are security zones – as far as I’m concerned the entire Jordan Valley is a defined military zone. Go argue.» In this way, he concluded, «I de facto put an end to the Oslo accords.»
[The Oslo Accords stated at the time that Israel would gradually hand over territories to the Palestinians in three different pulses, unless the territories in question had settlements or military sites. This is where Netanyahu found a loophole.][4]
When his interlocutor asks about world opinion re continued conquest/settlement, he says, «The world won’t say a thing. The world will say we’re defending.»[5][6]
— Netanyahu talking when he didn’t know he was being recorded
“During the six-year period 2001 and 2007 Israel has, on average, killed more Palestinians per year than it killed during the first 20 years of occupation. Moreover, since the eruption of the second intifada (in 2000) Israelis have killed almost twice as many Palestinians as they killed in the preceding 34 years”[7]
The Apartheid Wall
“On June 16, 2002, Israel added another restriction to its list of human rights violations by beginning construction of the Apartheid Wall. Most of the wall has been built on Palestinian land, allowing Israel to annex the land that lay between the wall and 1948 Palestine (today, called Israel). Two years later, the International Court of Justice ruled illegal and ordered the construction to be stopped. Israel has yet to abide by the ruling.”[8]
Syria and Lebanon
Ziad Abdel Nour, an associate of Bush Administration advisers, policy makers, and media including (zionist) Neo-Conservatives Paula Dobriansky, James Woolsey, Frank Gaffney, Daniel Pipes, Joseph Farah (World Net Daily), Clifford May, and Daniel Nassif of US State Department-funded Al Hurra and Radio Sawa, admits:
«Both the Syrian and Lebanese regimes will be changed- whether they like it or not- whether it’s going to be a military coup or something else… and we are working on it. We know already exactly who’s going to be the replacements. We’re working on it with the Bush administration.» [9]
(Counterpunch: «Faking the Case Against Syria,» by Trish Schuh)
The “Bantustan” model
In 2004, Haaretz reported the former Italian prime minister, Massimo D’Alema, as telling dinner guests at a Jerusalem hotel that, on a visit to Rome a few years earlier, Sharon had told him that the bantustan model was the most appropriate solution to the conflict with the Palestinians. [10]
Gaza concentration camp
The Israeli withdrawal from Gaza was nothing more than a crude attempt to cut down the Arab population and maintain a Jewish majority. With the added “bonus” of simultaneously creating a large concentration camp (no, that’s not just a slogan – it’s a fact). The idea too was to create a “hostile territory” in to which they could launch large scale military assaults by creating a narrative whereby they could paint themselves as the victim….even though Palestinians had been largely on ceasefire on and off for almost TWELVE YEARS out of the FIFTEEN YEARS since Hamas won elections in Gaza.[11]
“EVEN BIGGER ANIMALS”
The demographer Arnon Sofer of Haifa University is the architect of the current isolation of Gaza. In 2004, he advised the government of Ariel Sharon to withdraw Israeli forces from within Gaza, seal the territory off from the outside world, and simply shoot anyone who tries to break out.
“When 2.5 million people live in a closed-off Gaza, it’s going to be a human catastrophe….Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today, with the aid of an insane fundamentalist Islam. The pressure at the border will be awful. It’s going to be a terrible war. So, if we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day.” He added that “the only thing that concerns me is how to ensure that the boys and men who are going to have to do the killing will be able to return home to their families and be normal human beings.”
(Jerusalem Post (11 November 2004))
Gaza Myths
The myths about the blockade of Gaza are so legion that it is almost impossible to disentangle them. But let’s try tackling a few.
▪️The first is that the blockade was a necessary response to the election of Hamas.
Tell that to John Wolfensohn, special envoy to the Quartet, comprising the US, UN, Europe and Russia, from May 2005 whose job it was to oversee the disengagement. Wolfensohn was succeeded by the far less principled former British prime minister, Tony Blair.
In an interview with the Haaretz newspaper in 2007, Wolfensohn explained why he had resigned in April 2006 after a brief tenure. Shortly after the disengagement in summer 2005, he said, Israel and the US had violated the understandings made to ensure the border crossings into Gaza remained open after Jewish settlers left. “Every aspect of that agreement was abrogated,” he said.
The economy collapsed as a result, as Gaza’s farmers saw their produce rot at the crossings, and unemployment and disillusionment among Gazans skyrocketed. “Instead of hope, the Palestinians saw that they were put back in prison. And with 50 per cent unemployment, you would have conflict.”
It was the closure of the crossings in fact that Wolfensohn believes explains Hamas’s success in the subsequent elections, in early 2006. So, in other words, Israel’s blockade pre-existed Hamas’s rise to power and began when Fatah was still the ruler of Gaza.
▪️The second myth is that the blockade was an attempt, if a futile one, to get Hamas to recognise Israel’s “right to exist”.
Tell that to Dov Weisglass, former prime minister Ariel Sharon’s fixer in Washington. It was he who suggested the true goal of the blockade that Israel intensified immediately following Hamas’s electoral triumph. The policy would be “like an appointment with a dietitian. The Palestinians will get a lot thinner, but won’t die.”
In short, according to Weisglass, Israeli policy in Gaza was “collective punishment” inflicted on the civilian population for choosing Hamas — a policy, should it need pointing out, that is a violation of international law and a war crime.
The hope, it seems, was that Gazans would, as they sank into abject poverty, manage to summon up the energy to overthrow Hamas. It never happened.
▪️The third myth is that the blockade was designed to put pressure on Hamas to end rocket fire into Israel.
Tell that to Ehud Barak, Israel’s defence minister, and Matan Vilnai, his deputy. This pair was plotting an invasion of Gaza throughout the six-month ceasefire with Hamas, and in fact much earlier.
In truth, they ignored every diplomatic overture from Hamas, including offers of indefinite truces, while they invested their energies in the coming ground invasion. In particular they worked on plans, noted in the Israeli media back in spring 2008, to “level” Gaza’s civilian neighbourhoods and create “combat zones” from which civilians could be expelled.”[12]
— Jonathon Cook
Within the Bush administration, the Palestinian policy set off a furious debate. One of its critics is David Wurmser, the avowed neoconservative, who resigned as Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief Middle East adviser in July 2007, a month after the Gaza coup.
Wurmser accuses the Bush administration of “engaging in a dirty war in an effort to provide a corrupt dictatorship [led by Abbas] with victory.” He believes that Hamas had no intention of taking Gaza until Fatah forced its hand. “It looks to me that what happened wasn’t so much a coup by Hamas but an attempted coup by Fatah that was pre-empted before it could happen,” Wurmser says.[13]
Wholesale slaughter
“…while Israel did withdraw its military bases from Gaza and redeployed its forces to bases outside of Gaza in 2005, it continues to carry out daily military operations in and attacks on Gaza. According to Defense for Children International – Palestine, during the first year after the disengagement the Israeli military fired over 15,000 shells into Gaza, conducted over 550 airstrikes on Gaza, and carried out regular military incursions into Gaza. A total of 525 Palestinians were killed and 1,527 injured during these attacks. This period included two major military operations. Operation Summer Rains during June 2006 left at least 256 Palestinians dead and 848 injured. At least 85 more Palestinians were killed in Gaza during a November 2006 military offensive which was codenamed Operation Autumn Clouds.[14][15]
“Human rights group B’tselem, citing the Israeli Shin Bet, notes that nearly 14,000 projectiles (12,000 by Wiki) were (allegedly) fired from Gaza from 2005 to 2013. UN OCHA noted that Israel fired about the same number of artillery shells into Gaza……in 2006 alone.”[16]
June 09 2006
In a calculated move to break the 16 month unilateral ceasefire of Hamas, Israel goes on a rampage.
“An Israeli navy gunboat fired shells onto a northern Gaza beach Friday, killing at least seven people and prompting the military wing of Hamas to call off a 16-month-old cease-fire with Israel.” [a Hamas official was killed the day before]
“Hamas has stuck to the cease-fire it announced in February 2005, but other groups did not sign on and have continued attacks against Israel. Earlier this year, Hamas won the Palestinian elections.”
“Five militants also died earlier Friday in two Israeli strikes in Gaza, Palestinian sources said.”[17]
June 25 2006
“Operation Summer Rains”
“Since the start of the operation, codenamed Summer Rain, at least 240 Palestinians have been killed. One in five were children. According to the PCHR, which has investigated each case, 197 of the dead were civilians and the vast majority were killed in Gaza. Among them were 12 women and 48 children.”[18]
Memory is supposed to stop in its tracks at June 28, 2006 (edit: when Hamas finally broke its 16 month ceasefire)
Let’s go on a brief excursion into pre-history. I’m talking about June 20, 2006, when Israeli aircraft fired at least one missile at a car in an attempted extrajudicial assassination attempt on a road between Jabalya and Gaza City. The missile missed the car. Instead it killed three Palestinian children and wounded 15.
Back we go again to June 13, 2006. Israeli aircraft fired missiles at a van in another attempted extrajudicial assassination. The successive barrages killed nine innocent Palestinians.
Now we’re really in the dark ages, reaching far, far back to June 9, 2006, when Israel shelled a beach in Beit Lahiya killing 8 civilians and injuring 32.
That’s just a brief trip down Memory Lane, and we trip over the bodies of twenty dead and forty-seven wounded, all of them Palestinians, most of them women and children.”
(Hezbollah, Hamas and Israel: Everything you need to know, Counterpunch, Alexander Cockburn, JULY 21, 2006)
Lebanon
Between 12 July and 14 August 2006, Israel waged war on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon and the Lebanese capital Beirut, by land, air and sea. Over the 34 days of the conflict, Israel carried out thousands of air strikes, while Hezbollah fired missiles into northern Israel. According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), «The conflict resulted in at least 1,109 Lebanese deaths, the vast majority of whom were civilians, 4,399 injured, and an estimated one million displaced.»[19]
Friends of al Qaeda
Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker reveals that US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Hariri in Lebanon as well as the Syrian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood were assembling, arming, training, and heavily funding a sectarian extremists front, many of whom had direct ties to Al Qaeda, to unleash in both Lebanon and Syria. The goal was to create and exploit a sectarian divide between Sunni and Shi’ia Muslims. Hersh interviewed intelligence officers who expressed concerns over the «cataclysmic conflict» that would result, and the need to protect ethnic minorities from sectarian atrocities. The report indicated that extremists would be logistically staged in northern Lebanon where they would be able to cross back and forth into Syria.
(New Yorker: «The Redirection,» by Seymour Hersh, March 5, 2007.)[20]
2008
For more than four months after 19 June 2008, Hamas refrained from any military actions that might endanger the negotiated truce or “calm” with Israel.
The graphs show that the total number of rocket and mortar attacks shrank from 245 in June to 26 total for July through October, a reduction of 97 percent.
Even this was not enough for Israel, which violated the truce by imposing a terror-famine in Gaza for most of these months. But despite these violations, Hamas refrained from launching rockets until Israel definitively cancelled the truce on the night of 4-5 November by sending an Israeli commando squad into Gaza, where it killed six Hamas members. Hamas responded with 30 rockets.[21][22]
Mark Perry, co-director of the Conflicts Forum, a British-American group which mediates between the West and Islamist groups, including Hamas, stated on PBS’s “Newshour” (1/5/09) that contrary to US-Israeli propaganda, “During the six months of the cease-fire [agreed on between Israel and Hamas in June 2008], there were 153 violations of the cease-fire by Israel, and 36 Palestinians in Gaza were killed by Israeli forces. Most important of all, the economic siege of Gaza continued.”[23]
The interest of Hamas in a ceasefire agreement that would actually open the border crossings was acknowledged at a Dec. 21 Israeli cabinet meeting – five days before the beginning of the Israeli military offensive – by Yuval Diskin, the head of Israel’s internal security agency, Shin Bet. “Make no mistake, Hamas is interested in maintaining the truce,” Diskin was quoted by Y-net News agency as saying….. The report recalls that Hamas “tried to enforce the terms of the arrangement” on other Palestinian groups, taking “a number of steps against networks which violated the arrangement,” including short-term detention and confiscating their weapons. It even found that Hamas had sought support in Gazan public opinion for its policy of maintaining the ceasefire.[24]
2008-2009
During Cast Lead, the Israeli assault on Gaza, more than 1400 Palestinians are killed over 22 days, most of them civilians. Many die as at Qana, when they flee their homes to UN compounds and schools, hoping to be safe.
“Very early on in Operation Cast Lead, the scale of Israel’s attack became apparent. In just the first six days the Israeli Air Force carried out more than 500 sorties against targets in the Gaza Strip. That amounted to an attack from the air roughly every 18 minutes — not counting hundreds of helicopter attacks, tank and navy shelling, and infantry raids. All of this on a territory similar in size to the US city of Seattle.”[25]
During Cast Lead, 3000 TONS of weaponry was casted on Gaza in only 22 days.[26]
Of those 3000 Tons, 75 Tons were depleted uranium. [27]
2009
I’m going to tell you something. I was in England two years before the violence in Syria on other business. I met with top British officials, who confessed to me that they were preparing something in Syria.
This was in Britain not in America. Britain was organizing an invasion of rebels into Syria. They even asked me, although I was no longer minister for foreign affairs, if I would like to participate.
Naturally, I refused, I said I’m French, that doesn’t interest me….
This operation goes way back. It was prepared, preconceived and planned… in the region it is important to know that this Syrian regime has a very anti-Israeli stance.
Consequently, everything that moves in the region- and I have this from the former Israeli prime minister who told me ‘we’ll try to get on with our neighbours but those who don’t agree with us will be destroyed.»[28]
— Former French minister for Foreign Affairs Roland Dumas on French TV station LCP
The following is based on Whitney Webb’s excellent analysis and some of my own research which was in limbo until I read hers.
▪️Epstein was a 20 year old college drop-out (he had no college degree) when he was hired to teach at Dalton School N.Y. by the school’s headmaster and former OSS member Donald Barr in 1974. The same year that Barr left this position.
▪️ The year before he hired this unqualified man, Donald Barr had published Space Relations, a science-fiction novel about a planet ruled by oligarchs who perform child sex slavery.
▪️ Dalton was one of New York City’s most prestigious private schools, is known for its sky-high cost with the student body being made up from the sons and daughters of New York’s richest and most influential families. Which makes Epstein’s recruitment all the more unorthodox.
▪️Donald Barr was the father of CIA man (at that time) and future United States Attorney General under Trump, William Barr, who oversaw Epstein’s prosecution. [1][2]
▪️Epstein worked there for two years until he was sacked (allegedly because he “didn’t make the cut”)
(“Jeffrey Epstein worked at Dalton. His behavior was noticed.” New York Times)
▪️An unqualified Epstein was then taken under the wing of Israelophile Alan Greenberg, chairman of Wall Street firm Bear Stearns, who gave Epstein a job as a floor trader in 1976. [3]
▪️ Greenberg was president of the UJA, and the friend of notorious Israeli spy Ted Kollek. He also had connections to Roy Cohn, who had a history of involvement with zionist spies and mafia figures. [4][5][6][7][8]
▪️During this period, the son of the man who hired Epstein, CIA man William Barr, worked alongside CIA veteran Donald Gregg in stonewalling the congressional Pike Committee and Church Committee, which investigated the CIA beginning in 1975. [9]
▪️ Among the things that they were tasked with investigating were the CIA’s “love traps,” or sexual blackmail operations used to lure foreign diplomats to bugged apartments, complete with recording equipment and two-way mirrors. [10]
(Washington Post, Jack Anderson and Les Whitten, Feb 5, 1975)
▪️These “love traps” had been in use for decades before (since at least the 1950s). And they weren’t restricted to “foreign diplomats” [11]
▪️William P. Barr figured prominently in arguments to limit CIA responsibility to provide notification to Congress about covert actions during the 1980s, according to a review of declassified materials.
As the Iran-Contra scandal played out, Barr, who held senior posts at the Justice Department, provisionally supported the idea of the president’s “virtually unfettered discretion” in foreign policy.
Other notable proponents during the Iran-Contra aftermath included then-Congressman Dick Cheney and John R. Bolton. Both neoconservatives.
▪️Israeli intelligence was directly involved in the Iran-Contra affair and the Nicaraguan war itself (as well as supporting numerous reactionary, right wing forces across South and Central America.) [9][12]
▪️ By 1980 Epstein was a partner, quitting in 1981 to start ‘J Epstein & Co’ … after which Epstein’s wealth acquisition becomes a ‘mystery’.
▪️After leaving Bear Stearns, Epstein was working as an alleged financial “bounty hunter” for clients that are said to have included the Iran-Contra-linked arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi. [13]
▪️In the mid-to-late 1980s, Leslie Wexner and Epstein were introduced by a mutual acquaintance, an insurance executive named Robert Meister. [14]
▪️Israel would be involved in the «Iran-Contra» scandal. A Swiss bank account from which contributions to the contras were drawn had been set up by Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and was under the control of Yaacov Nimrodi, an Israeli arms dealer and former military attache in Tehran. [15]
▪️A document accidentally released exposed revelations about Wexner’s links to organized crime in the 1980s. Columbus Police Chief James G. Jackson ordered the public record destroyed the same month it was completed. [16]
(Police accidentally release a report linking Leslie Wexner and the Mob by Bob Fitrakis)
▪️An Austrian passport with Epstein’s photo, a different name and a home address in Saudi Arabia would be found in Epstein’s safe in later years. It was issued at the same time Ronald Lauder, a high level zionist and sponsor of Likud [17], was Ambassador to Austria. And at the same time Saudi Arabian Adnan Khashoggi (involved in the Israeli run Iran Contra affair) was supposedly one of his first “clients”.
▪️ Lauder, Wexner and the Bronfmans are members of an elite zionist organization known as the Mega Group, which also includes other Meyer Lansky-connected “philanthropists” like hedge fund manager Michael Steinhardt. [18][19]
▪️Israeli spy and British media magnate Robert Maxwell had close ties to “Mega group” co-founder and zionist mafia boss, Charles Bronfman (they made a joint bid for ownership of the Jerusalem Post in 1989)
(Maxwell and Bronfman Make Joint Bid for Jerusalem Post, JTA, April 1989)
▪️Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell, would arrive on the scene around the mid-eighties. She would be Epstein’s enabler. She carried on her father’s Israeli asset tradition after he was killed.
“Dinner chairman Robert Maxwell was unable to attend the event (dinner events for the Wiesenthal Center in November 1989), but the Jewish publishing baron’s daughter was on hand to deliver his passionate speech.” [20]
▪️In the 1980’s paedophile and disgraced “model agent” Jean-Luc Brunel met Ghislaine Maxwell. She later introduced him to child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. [21]
▪️Epstein is officially on record as knowing Ghislaine Maxwell from at least 1992. [22]
Stepping in where Spence left off?
▪️In June 1989, it was revealed that Craig Spence, a prominent conservative Washington lobbyist, had been pimping out children to the power elite in the nation’s capital throughout the 1980s in apartments that were bugged with video and audio recording equipment.
▪️In 1982, his “personal phone book and party guest lists constitute a ‘Who’s Who’ in Congress, Government and journalism” (much like Epstein’s “black book”).
▪️He threw lavish parties for “ambassadors, television stars, senators, senior State Department officials.” Zionist Roy Cohn and CIA chief William Casey and Roy Cohn’s journalist friend William Safire were just some of the other attendees at Spence’s festivities. [23]
▪️Spence later stated that his contacts within the White House, which allowed him and his “call boys” access, were “top level” officials and he specifically singled out George H.W. Bush’s (aforementioned) then-National Security Advisor Donald Gregg.
(Jerry Seper and Michael Hedges, The Washington Times, 8/9/89)
▪️Gregg had worked at the CIA since 1951 before he resigned in 1982 to become National Security Advisor to Bush, who was then vice president.
▪️During the late 1970s, Gregg worked alongside a young William Barr, son of the man who hired Epstein at Dalton in stonewalling the congressional Pike Committee and Church Committee, which investigated the CIA beginning in 1975. [9]
▪️The Washington Times reports on Spence’s child sex ring also revealed his close ties to Roy Cohn. [24]
▪️Spence was linked to a “homosexual prostitution ring” whose clients included “government officials, locally based U.S. military officers, businessmen, lawyers, bankers, congressional aides, media representatives and other professionals.” Spence also offered cocaine to his guests as another means of acquiring blackmail. [24]
(Michael Hedges and Jerry Seper The Washington Times; Final Section: A Page: A1 Friday, June 30, 1989)
▪️Shortly after the Spence affair was exposed, Leslie Wexner signed a three-page legal document [25], known as a power of attorney, that enabled Epstein to hire people, sign checks, buy and sell properties and borrow money — all on Mr. Wexner’s behalf. Epstein, the document stated, had the “full power and authority to do and perform every act necessary” for Mr. Wexner.
For the next 16 years, that document gave Epstein unmatched authority over Mr. Wexner’s financial affairs — and it corresponded to a period in which Epstein came to control or own valuable assets that previously belonged to Mr. Wexner or his companies.
Just prior to Wexner’s acquisition of Victoria’s Secret, Wexner appointed Epstein as wealth manager to his considerable fortune. Epstein was also listed as a Trustee of Wexner’s Foundation by 1994. And it wasn’t until Epstein was indicted for charges on soliciting prostitution in 2007 that Wexner cut ties with his Trustee. [26]
Consider too this description of Wexner’s New York mansion where Epstein engaged in so many crimes, from this 1996 article by Christopher Mason in the New York Times:
‘When asked how long Mr. Wexner had occupied the property, Jeffrey Epstein, his protege and one of his financial advisers, replied, “Les never spent more than two months there.” Thus the prorated cost of Mr. Wexner’s sejours would appear to have been in excess of a million dollars a day. Visitors described a bathroom reminiscent of James Bond movies: hidden beneath a stairway, lined with lead to provide shelter from attack and supplied with closed-circuit television screens and a telephone, both concealed in a cabinet beneath the sink.’ [27]
Maria Farmer claimed that Epstein sexually assaulted her in 1999-2000 She sued the Epstein estate.
Farmer alleged that Epstein had extensive surveillance inside his home, including tiny pinhole cameras.
Farmer said that Epstein showed her cameras throughout his house.
«….he showed me where the cameras, the men monitoring everything, were. So, if you’re facing the house, there’s a window on the right that’s barred. That’s the media room, is what he called it. And so, there was a door that looked like an invisible door with all this limestone and everything. And you push it, and you go in. And I saw, all the cameras, it was, like, old televisions basically, like, stacked.»
There were monitors inside this cabinet. And there were men sitting here. And I looked on the cameras, and I saw toilet, toilet, bed, bed, toilet, bed… It was very obvious that they were, like, monitoring private moments.» [28]
[Note: this was around 2000, five years before he started using the “modeling agency” to recruit young victims. And this was the same house that Wexner virtually gifted him.]
In 2003, Wexner showed his high level zionist credentials when he released a document entitled “Wexner Analysis: Israeli Communications Priorities 2003,” which was prepared for the Wexner Foundation to coach Israeli propagandists in the US in how to approach any statements or questions on the war in Iraq. His foundation operated leadership training programs such as the “Birthright Israel” project which offers free trips for young Jewish Americans to Israel, by the public relations firm the Luntz Research Companies and the Israel Project. [29]
[Note: Mossad asset Marc Rich was also a major donor to “Birthright Israel” (Wiki)]
Post 9/11, the Iraq war and blackmail
▪️During the 2002 to 2005 period, Epstein ran a secret empire devoted to moving underage girls between his New York and Florida residences, in order to sexually exploit them.
▪️He claimed to have made his vast fortune as a financial guru to the super-rich, but nearly all of his clients were unnamed.
▪️He was trafficking minor girls, often from overseas, for sex parties at his other homes in Manhattan, New Mexico and the Caribbean, FBI and court records show.
“This was not a ‘he said, she said’ situation. This was 50-something ‘shes’ and one ‘he’ — and the ‘shes’ all basically told the same story,’’ said retired Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, who supervised the police probe.
▪️ 80 women say they were molested or otherwise sexually abused by Epstein from 2001 to 2006. About 60 of them were located — now scattered around the country and abroad. Eight of them agreed to be interviewed, on or off the record. Four of them were willing to speak on video.
“By the time I was 16, I had probably brought him 70 to 80 girls who were all 14 and 15 years old.”
⁃ victim Courtney Wild
▪️One lawsuit, still pending in New York, alleged that Epstein used an international modeling agency to recruit girls as young as 13 from Europe, Ecuador and Brazil. The girls lived in a New York building owned by Epstein, who paid for their visas, according to the sworn statement of Maritza Vasquez, the one-time bookkeeper for Mc2, the modeling agency. [30]
▪️Epstein was a eugenicist and a supremacist. [31]
▪️One of the main providers of these underage girls was another international paedophile, Jean Luc Brunel (born Jean-Luc Benchamoul), friend of Maxwell, previously mentioned, had offices in New York, Miami, and Tel Aviv. [32]
▪️In 2005, Jean-Luc Brunel founded the MC2 Model Management agency which Jeffrey Epstein invested $1 million, according to a 2010 deposition. [33]
▪️Epstein promised girls as young as 13, 14, and 15 a MC2 modeling contract in exchange for being raped by whichever acquaintance Epstein designated. [34]
▪️The girls were lured from South America, Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Jean-Luc Brunel’s bookkeeper backed the allegations; he testified it wasn’t unusual for MC2 to send girls to an assignment with a wealthy client for $100,000 or more, but the girl wouldn’t be paid the full amount or anything at all if she refused to be raped. [35]
▪️Jean-Luc Brunel employed 200 to 300 “models» at a time, most of them from 13 to 15 years old, and kept them in an apartment building owned by Jeffrey Epstein at East 66th Street in New York. [36]
▪️Alan Dershowitz was part of Epstein’s legal team in 2007. He was one of the lawyers who helped broker the lenient plea deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal prison, serve only 13 months in county jail, be granted a 12 hours a day, six days a week work release, and obtain immunity for «any potential co-conspirators» in his crimes. Two girls accused Epstein of having forced them to have sex with him. [37]
▪️In 2007, Epstein sought to protect his closest aides, including Maxwell, when he negotiated his non-prosecution agreement for himself and “potential co-conspirators”, which were basically traffickers who supplied a chain of young girls who were enticed with promises of modeling jobs, apartments and visas. The agreement ensured that none of the women who worked as his enablers would be criminally charged. The federal immunity was negotiated with former Miami federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta, who became President Trump’s Secretary of Labor. He eventually resigned over the Epstein agreement. [38]
▪️”He’d (Alexander Acosta) cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta.” [39]
Conclusion
Epstein wasn’t a “genius” as some have portrayed him. He was groomed and protected from beginning to end.
He was a college dropout, but he waltzed in to a position at an exclusive school whose students were from the rich and powerful society that he would go on to infiltrate. He was recruited by a former OSS man who had just “coincidentally” written a book about child sex slaves, and whose son was a CIA operative who was involved in covering up sex trap blackmail operations carried out by his own organization at that time, spanning decades before.
Within two years, after having been sacked (his recruiter had left just after hiring him), he was taken directly under the wing of Israelophile “Ace” Greenberg, CEO of Bear Sterns.
A couple of years later, he supposedly started up his own company, with Adnan Khashoggi as one of his main “clients”. A client who was at that time involved with Israeli intelligence through the Iran-Contra scandal.
He would then be introduced to who would be his “madam” in acquiring and controlling an army of young girls in his filthy human “pyramid scheme”. Ghislaine Maxwell. Daughter of Israeli spy and fraudster Robert Maxwell.
You have to remember that this was all going on during the Reagan era. Reagan, like Epstein, was a charming moron who would do as he was told because he achieved what he wanted without the talent.
Both were taken under the wing of the zionist mafia and their connections at a young age. Both had millions in their accounts. Reagan treated everything as if he was on “the big screen”, while Epstein raped young girls in luxurious settings while filming his rich “friends” doing the same thing. Both he and Reagan were under the thumb of Tel Aviv.
This becomes blatantly obvious when Leslie Wexman, a self made billionaire, handed complete control of his empire over to Epstein for decades. Wexman was part of the “Mega group”. A group of influential “philanthropists” who were actually Israeli assets who had connections both to the zionist mafia and Israeli intelligence. Epstein never “invested” Wexman’s money. He spent it to set up the high flyer honey traps for his human trafficking operation.
Even one of his first “clients”, Adnan Khashoggi, an Arabian arms dealer who was the go between, alongside Israel, for the Iran-Contra affair. Israel was stationed on both sides of the affair. Accepting Iranian oil through Mossad asset (and another of Wexner’s associates) Marc Rich, they also supplied weapons and military hardware to Iran. In Nicaragua, as it was throughout most “trouble spots” in South and Central America, Israel was training death squads, brutal intelligence units, involved with drug cartels, and supplying arms. And both William Barr, son of the man who recruited Epstein at Dalton, and Epstein himself, were in the middle of the intrigue.
Another Israelophile connected to Wexman was Ronald Lauder, another “Mega group” member who just happened to be US ambassador to Austria when a fake passport (that had been used) was supplied to Epstein. It had a Saudi address (Khashoggi).
He flitted through “high society” backed by people whose priority, after filling their own pockets, was the strengthening of Israel. Among them, Ehud Barak, who was prime minister of Israel.
And no, his “pyramid scheme” of young girls wasn’t for himself, although he took part in vile acts himself. There were hundreds of girls being used from across the globe. Apartments were set up for them. They were moved like cargo across the US to whichever luxury spot Wexner had provided him. Maxwell and Epstein checked out which ones were corruptible.
His New York mansion (also provided by Wexner) already had an “observation room” set up, and according to one of his victims, there were men monitoring the screens in a hidden room.
Blackmail is a fact of life in the US. Those in power or thereabouts have many, many secrets, whether financial or carnal. When Epstein was being primed for this blackmail scheme, another blackmail artist who used young male prostitutes named Donald Gregg as his handler. Gregg had also worked alongside William Barr.
You have to take in to account here that not every single hook up between these young girls and the rich and/or influential perverts was a scheme to record them. If they were already being blackmailed, they would have been offered the opportunity to continue their perversion as well. “Play ball and we’ll play nice.”
The bottom line here is that Epstein and Maxwell were Mossad assets who ran a paedophile blackmail network and they were sponsored by rich Israelophiles. The only thing that stops people dead in their tracks accepting this is that they can’t imagine an operation like this, nor that US intelligence would allow Mossad infiltration or cover it up. It happened. Just as it was allowed on 9/11. Just as it was allowed during the push for the Iraqi war. Just as it’s still allowed today.
Italian intelligence (SISMI) set in motion the “Niger forgeries” in Nigeria which were fake correspondence between Nigeria and Iraq over the sale of uranium “yellowcake” to Saddam Hussein. The “source” was an Italian magazine “Panorama”. Which had one Michael Ledeen on its payroll.
The documents had first surfaced in Italy.
The Italian Parliament released a report naming several men as the likely forgers of the documents;
▪️Israeli asset Michael Ledeen. Shortly before the forged documents surfaced in Italy, Ledeen paid a visit to the head of Italy’s secret service, SISMI.
▪️Ledeen’s entourage included Larry Franklin, since exposed as a spy for Israel operating in the Pentagon Office of Special Plans.
▪️Larry Franklin confessed to handing classified information to AIPAC.
▪️Ledeen was actually hired by neocon Likudite Douglas Feith to start up the Office of Special Plans. A zionist/neocon disinformation office specially created to foment war against Iraq (to be discussed).
▪️CIA Dewey Clarridge was involved in genocide in South America and in the Iran Contra set up. Both alongside Israel. And he was involved in the attempted removal of Saddam Hussein during the 90s.
▪️Ahmed Chalabi, a former Iraqi “aristocrat” embezzler, former Head of Iraqi National Congress , deputy prime minister of Iraq (when Hussein was removed), was taken under the wing of the neocons, particularly by Richard Perle, as the face of the WMD lies. [1][2]
▪️State Department Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security John Bolton oversaw the official U.S. response (to what would be revealed as the “Niger forgeries”) issued on December 19, 2002 charging Iraq with omitting its “efforts to procure uranium from Niger.”
▪️In January 2003, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice echoed Bolton, claiming in the New York Times that Iraq had “failed to account for or explain Iraq’s efforts to get uranium from abroad.”
▪️Secretary of State Colin Powell followed on January 26 asking, “Why is Iraq still trying to procure uranium?”
▪️Most critically, on January 28 2003, President Bush delivered his State of the Union Address, claiming «The British government (that is, Blair) has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.»
▪️Two weeks before the U.S. invasion, Mohamed ElBaradie, director general of IAEA, testified before the UN Security Council that the much touted Niger dossier was based on forged documents. It took IAEA staff only a matter of hours of Internet searches to see the documents were fraudulent. [3]
▪️A subsequent investigation by a US diplomat in to the Niger forgeries which debunked neocon claims about Iraqi nuclear WMDs lead to a scandal where his spouse was publically outed to the press as a CIA operative:
Remember that this clamour to attack Iraq, mainly for Israel, was ongoing from the nineties. The same zionist neocons and Israeli assets turned the screw after 9/11 and didn’t bat an eyelid in their anti-Iraq narrative. And were ushered in to what was basically an Israeli run disinformation unit in the heart of the Pentagon.
Marc Rich
Marc Rich who had gone on the run from US charges of 65 criminal counts, including income tax evasion, wire fraud, racketeering and trading with Iran (he had been supplying oil to Israel for 15 years from Iran).
Rich claimed that he was a Mossad collaborator. He said that he provided information to the Mossad about what was going on in Iran, Syria and Russia to help Israel…According to reports, Rich allowed the Mossad to use his corporate offices to camouflage their activities. [4]
⭕️ Rich selected a former high-ranking Mossad official named Avner Azulay to oversee his Israeli foundation.
⭕️ Azulay was a useful conduit to Israel’s political elite. He was close to Yitzak Rabin, Ehud Barak, Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert. A decade later, Azulay would play a key role in securing Rich’s pardon from the Clintons.
⭕️ Through Azulay, Rich offered his services to the Israeli government, especially the Mossad (according to letters from Israeli officials)
⭕️ In fact, Rich was subsidizing Israeli intelligence operations. He financed numerous covert missions and allowed Mossad operatives to work covertly in his offices around the world.
(The Pardon of Marc Rich: How Hillary Clinton Served as the “Secret Weapon” for One of the Biggest Tax cheats in American History, Counterpunch, 10/03/2016)
⭕️ Through Azulay (Mossad), Denise Rich (Marc Rich’s ex wife) and executive member of AIPAC and *finance chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC)*, with ties to Ehud Barak, Beth Dozoretz, began a process whereby $1.1 million were put in the Clinton coffers in exchange for a pardon for Marc Rich.
[Note: Clinton was also the godfather of Dozoretz’s daughter.]
(“Rich associate had close ties to Baraks”, Jerusalem Post, Michael Spitzer, 05 March 2001)
After more bribes from these two women, and a visit to the White House, Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, even as his security team advise him of a connection with an international arms smuggling network, in 2001, on his last day in office.

The “biggest allies” at it again….
In the summer of 2000, the Washington Times reported that a memo circulating inside the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency told analysts they no longer had to gain input from the Defense Intelligence Agency before deciding whether controlled technology should be transferred to Israel. The DIA had compiled evidence that Israel had violated US export regulations by transferring missile, laser and aircraft technology to China. [5]
— Asia Times, 12/4/2002
[Note: this came after decades of blatant Israeli spying and theft of technology!]
The morning of 9/11, 2001, 5 Israelis, among them admitted Mossad members, who worked at a furniture removal company which was a Mossad front, were arrested after being spotted celebrating and taking photos (and a reported video) of the first plane crash. All evidence points to the fact that they AT LEAST had prior knowledge of the first plane striking the North Tower.
A van from the same Mossad front furniture removal company was stopped at the Shankesville crash site three days consecutively from the day before 9/11. And they were exposed as having lied about their reasons for being there. Just as the New York Mossad unit was exposed.
The New York unit caught that day were held for over two months, failed polygraph tests and then were released and all photos destroyed under pressure from neocons and zionists.
2001 was the year that the extent of Israeli espionage in the US would be exposed. Israeli foreknowledge – at the very least – of the events of 9/11 would be brought to light. The infiltration of Israeli intelligence across the board, from government to military and US intelligence had them in positions where they controlled the investigation and narrative of 9/11. And if 9/11 was an “inside job”, all roads lead to them. [6][7]
Ten days after the attack on the World Trade Center, an event that conveniently met the description of a “Pearl Harbor-like attack” that PNAC said was needed to launch “the New American Century,” the group issued an open letter to President Bush. What he needed to do, the letter said, was to take the anti-terror war beyond Afghanistan by removing Saddam Hussein, breaking ties with the Palestinian Authority, and to gear for action against Syria, Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The 41 signatories on that letter were largely the same as those who signed the letter to Clinton three years earlier, minus those who were now in the government. [8]
Just one month after 9/11, two Israelis were arrested in the Mexican Congress carrying guns and explosives:
“two men posing as press photographers, one of them a former Israeli Colonel and Mossad agent, were arrested INSIDE the Mexican congress on October 10, 2001 armed with 9-mm pistols, nine grenades, explosives, three detonators, and 58 bullets, but were released following intense pressure from the Israeli Embassy.”
[Note: The Mexican government has been corrupt for decades. But what possible “pressure” could the Israeli embassy place on them to release these people?]
2002
The FBI was monitoring a meeting between an Israeli Embassy official (Naor Gilon) and a representative of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. At one point, Lawrence A. Franklin joined the two, according to Newsweek.
Lawrence A. Franklin, an analyst of Iranian affairs who works in a Pentagon office headed by Douglas J. Feith, the undersecretary for policy.
The material described White House policy toward Iran. [9]
▪️Lawrence Franklin, a longtime Defense Intelligence Agency analyst and fervent neoconservative, was observed by FBI agents in the summer of 2003 imparting top secret information to two employees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
▪️Steve Rosen, AIPAC’s longtime policy director, and Keith Weissman, their Iran specialist – were already under surveillance by law enforcement agencies.
▪️Douglas Feith, Franklin’s boss, is close to Israel’s Likud party, and in 1996, he and Richard Perle, James Colbert, Charles Fairbanks, Jr, Robert Loewenberg, David Wurmser, and Meyrav Wurmser prepared a position paper for then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, «A Clean Break,» that outlined a strategy for extracting Israel from its strategic dilemma: the invasion of Iraq, followed by the elimination of Syria, and the neutralization of Iran, topped their agenda.
▪️What they didn’t say in the policy paper was that the United States would be doing their dirty work for them. [10]
In September 2002, Israeli asset and neocon Philip Zelikow acknowledged that Iraq was no threat to the US. That the real issue was the safety of Israel.
“I’ll tell you what I think the real threat (is) and actually has been since 1990 – it’s the threat against Israel.” [11] — Zelikow
…in September 2002 Zelikow would actually author the Bush administration’s “National Security Strategy” that outlined the preemptive war doctrine that would target and be used against Iraq. Just two months later the 9/11 Commiission was set up. With Zelikow chosen as Executive Director. [12][13]

The Office of Special Plans (OSP)
The Office of Special Plans (OSP), which existed from September 2002 to June 2003, was a Pentagon unit created by Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith (who headed it), as charged by then US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, to supply the senior Bush administration officials with raw intelligence (unvetted by intelligence analysts). Ariel Sharon was involved in this (disinformation) process.
Feith’s law partner, Marc Zell, was a spokesman for the settlement movement in Israel.
[Note: Douglas Feith’s former partner (Marc) Zell, the lawyer for the settler movement in Israel (and an illegal “settler” himself), set up shop with Chalabi’s nephew (a neocon groomed Iraqi puppet to replace Hussein) in Baghdad to help interested companies win contracts for reconstruction projects. [14]]
The OSP also forged close ties to a parallel, ad hoc intelligence operation inside Ariel Sharon’s office in Israel to…. provide the Bush administration with alarmist reports on Saddam’s Iraq. Israeli officers even visited these offices in the Pentagon.
The Israeli influence was revealed most clearly by a story floated by unnamed senior US officials in the American press, suggesting the reason that no banned weapons had been found in Iraq was that they had been smuggled into Syria. Intelligence sources say that the story came from the office of the Israeli prime minister.
The exchange of information continued a long-standing relationship Mr Feith and other Washington neo-conservatives had with Israel’s Likud party.
The Israeli connection to the Special Plans group was reported by Julian Borger in the Guardian, and former Pentagon analyst Karen Kwiatkowski (ret.), who worked in the same policy shop as another Israeli spy, Lawrence Franklin. Colonel Kwiatkowski reports that Israeli military and other officials had the run of the place and were exempted from signing in as required of all other guests. [15]
«None of the Israelis who came were cleared into the Pentagon through normal channels,» said analyst Karen Kwiatkowski. Instead, they were waved in on Mr Feith’s authority without having to fill in the usual forms.”
The OSP absorbed this heady brew of raw intelligence, rumour and plain disinformation and made it a «product», a prodigious stream of reports with a guaranteed readership in the White House. The primary customers were Mr Cheney, Mr Libby and their closest ideological ally on the national security council, Stephen Hadley, Condoleezza Rice’s deputy. [16]
▪️David Wurmser would be the founding participant of the unnamed, secret intelligence unit at the Pentagon, set up in Feith’s office, which would be the nucleus of the Defense Department’s Iraq disinformation campaign that was established within weeks of 9/11. [17]
▪️The key personnel who worked in both NESA (Near East and South Asia) and OSP were part of a broader network of neo-conservative ideologues and activists who worked with other Bush political appointees scattered around the national-security bureaucracy to move the country to war, according to retired Col Karen Kwiatkowski, who was assigned to NESA from May 2002 through February 2003.
▪️The heads of NESA and OSP were Deputy Undersecretary William Luti and Abram Shulsky, respectively.
▪️Other appointees who worked with them in both offices included Michael Rubin, a Middle East specialist previously with the neo-conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI);
▪️David Schenker, previously with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP, the think tank for AIPAC)
▪️Michael Makovsky, the younger brother of David Makovsky, a senior WINEP fellow and former executive editor of pro-Likud ‘Jerusalem Post’;
▪️Chris Lehman, the brother of the John Lehman, a prominent neo-conservative who served as secretary of the navy under Ronald Reagan, according to Kwiatkowski. [18]
(Pentagon Office Home to Neo-Con Network, Jim Lobe, August 7, 2003, Inter Press Service)
▪️Along with Feith, all of the political appointees have in common a close identification with the views of the right-wing Likud Party in Israel.
▪️Feith, whose law partner is a spokesman for the settlement movement in Israel, has long been a fierce opponent of the Oslo peace process;
▪️Also like Feith, several of the appointees were protégés of Richard Perle, who doubled as chairman of Rumsfeld’s unpaid Defense Policy Board (DPB), whose members were appointed by Feith;
▪️they preferred to work through Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security (and former neocon/zionist think tank the “American Enterprise Institute/AEI executive vice president) John Bolton;
▪️Michael Wurmser (another Perle protégé at AEI who staffed the predecessor to OSP); and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs, Elizabeth Cheney, the daughter of the Vice President Dick Cheney.
▪️At the National Security Council (NSC), they communicated mainly with Stephen Hadley, the deputy national security adviser, until Elliott Abrams, a dyed-in-the-wool neo-con with close ties to Feith and Perle, was appointed as the NSC’s top Middle East aide.
»They worked really hard for Abrams; he was a necessary link», Kwiatkowski told IPS Wednesday. »The day he got (the appointment), they were whooping and hollering, ‘We got him in, we got him in»’.
They rarely communicated directly with the CIA, leaving that to political heavyweights, including Gingrich, who is reported to have made several trips to the CIA headquarters, and, more importantly, I Lewis »Scooter» Lilly, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff and national security adviser.
But she recounts one incident in which she helped escort a group of half a dozen Israelis, including several generals, from the first floor reception area to Feith’s office. ‘‘We just followed them, because they knew exactly where they were going and moving fast».
When the group arrived, she noted the book which all visitors are required to sign under special regulations that took effect after the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks. ‘‘I asked his secretary, ‘Do you want these guys to sign in’? She said, ‘No, these guys don’t have to sign in’ ». It occurred to her, she said, that the office may have deliberately not wanted to maintain a record of the meeting. [19]
2003
MICHAEL LEDEEN (again..)
▪️Shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Israeli asset Michael Ledeen addressed a policy forum hosted by the Likud-aligned Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) in Washington, D.C. Though it was just six weeks since the United States had moved on Iraq, the title of his speech was “Time to Focus on Iran—The Mother of Modern Terrorism.”
▪️Ledeen said that the U.S. invasion had been the “…correct move —Democracy is the only way the Iraqi people will be able to get back on their feet”—and told his audience, “I have never seen a country more ready for democracy than Iran.”
▪️He concluded his talk by reiterating the idea of democracy as a cure-all, saying that, “the time for diplomacy is at the end; it is time for a free Iran, free Syria and free Lebanon.”
▪️As a consultant to the National Security Council in the 1980s, in the early stages of the Iran-Contra affair Ledeen acted as a go-between for the Reagan administration and the Israeli spy David Kimche to gain the release of U.S. hostages in Beirut through an Iranian arms dealer, Manucher Ghorbanifar. According to official investigations into the Iran-contra scandal, Ledeen helped initiate the effort to use Israeli contacts to pursue an arms for hostages deal with Iran.
▪️In an account of the various meetings between Iranians and Feith’s Department of Defense staff that Ledeen helped set up after 9/11, the Washington Monthly reported that “the DoD-Ghorbanifar meetings suggest the possibility that a rogue faction at the Pentagon was trying to work outside normal US foreign policy channels to advance a ‘regime change’ agenda not approved by the president’s foreign policy principals or even the president himself.” Among those at the meetings, according to the Monthly, was “a former senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard who claimed to have information about dissident ranks within the Iranian security services. [20]
[Note: All of this maneuvering by vultures for Israeli aspirations, that is, war with Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, came shortly after alleged Saudi Wahhabist hijackers had supposedly attacked the US!]
2003
▪️David Wurmser was a neo-conservative strategist who has long called for the United States and Israel to work together to »roll back» the Ba’ath-led government in Syria
▪️He was appointed as a Middle East adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney. A protege of arch-hawk and former Defense Policy Board chairman Richard Perle at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
▪️Israeli-born spouse Meyrav Wurmser heads Middle East studies at the neo-conservative Hudson Institute, was the main author of a 1996 report by a task force convened by the IASPS and headed by Perle, called the ‘Study Group on a New Israeli Strategy Toward 2000’.
▪️The paper, called ‘A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm’, was directed to incoming Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. It called for ousting Saddam Hussein. From that point, the strategy would be largely focused on Syria and, at the least, to reducing its influence in Lebanon. [21]
(New Cheney Adviser sets Syria in his sights, Jim Lobe, October 20 2003, Inter Press Service)
▪️Conflicts of interest resulted from Richard Perle’s dual role as chairman of the Defense Policy Board and as a partner for Trireme, a company that invests in homeland security and defense-related industries.
▪️Perle met with (Epstein connected) Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi arms dealer, in early 2003. Various people interviewed by Hersh, including Khashoggi, indicated that Perle and Trireme seemed to be sending the message that in return for Saudi investment backing, the “Chairman” would use his Pentagon connections to influence U.S. policy.

2004
⭕️ Netanyahu receives a prior warning about bombs that will go off on the London Underground on July 7 2005.
JERUSALEM – British police told the Israeli Embassy in London minutes before Thursday’s explosions that they had received warnings of possible terror attacks in the city, a senior Israeli official said.
Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had planned to attend an economic conference in a hotel over the subway stop where one of the blasts occurred, and the warning prompted him to stay in his hotel room instead, government officials said.
Shortly after this AP headline, Mossad chief Meir Dagan confirmed it in an interview with the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag:
“The Mossad office in London received advance notice about the attacks, but only six minutes before the first blast, the paper reports, confirming an earlier AP report. As a result, it was impossible to take any action to prevent the blasts.”
(Bild am Sonntag, 10/07/2005)
STILL thieving….
An FBI report titled “Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage.” The 2005 report, for example, states:
“Israel has an active program to gather proprietary information within the United States. These collection activities are primarily directed at obtaining information on military systems and advanced computing applications that can be used in Israel’s sizable armaments industry.”
It adds that Israel recruits spies, uses electronic methods, and carries out computer intrusion to gain the information. The 2005 report concluded that the thefts eroded US military advantage, enabling foreign powers to obtain sophisticated defense technologies. [27]
(“Israel apologizes to U.S. over sale of technology to China”, Defense News, June 2005.)
Defense Investigative Service report noted that Israel has great success stealing technology by exploiting the numerous co-production projects that it has with the Pentagon:
«Placing Israeli nationals in key industries … is a technique utilized with great success.”
General Accounting Office (GAO) examination of espionage directed against American defense and security industries, also undertaken in 1996, described how Israeli citizens residing in the US had stolen sensitive technology to manufacture artillery gun tubes, obtained classified plans for a reconnaissance system,and passed sensitive aerospace designs to unauthorized users.
In its report the GAO stated that an Israeli company monitored a Department of Defense telecommunications system to obtain classified information, while other Israeli entities targeted avionics, missile telemetry, aircraft communications, software systems, and advanced materials and coatings used in missile re-entry.
The GAO concluded that Israel“conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally.” [28]
Secret U.S. missile and electro-optics technology was transferred to China recently by Israel, prompting anger from the U.S. and causing a senior Israeli defense official to resign.
The head of defense exports for the Israeli Defense Ministry resigned after a U.S. investigation concluded that technology, including a miniature refrigeration system manufactured by Ricor and used for missiles and in electro-optic equipment, was sent to China, according to the Israeli newspaper Maariv. [30]
Michael Chertoff
Michael Chertoff, an Israeli national, his mother – the first El Al hostess and Mossad agent who lived in Palestine, became the new head of the Department of Homeland Security. Yehuda Koppel who flew on the same flight with the Chertoff family en route to the US, played an important role in the founding of the State of Israel as a leader in the Haganah. In the 1950’s, he moved to New York where he opened the first American office of El Al, Israel’s national airline, and where he lived until his death.
Michael Chertoff, as Asst. Attorney General of the United States in charge of the Criminal Division of the Dept. of Justice, personally supervised and controlled the entire FBI non-investigation of 9-11. Chertoff is the responsible person for the obstruction of justice and blocking access to the evidence since September 11, 2001.
He was co-author, along with Viet Dinh, of the USA PATRIOT Act, signed into law on October 26, 2001. [29]
Epstein
In 2007 for “trafficking and abuse of minors”, Epstein receives 13 months in county jail, from where he was allowed to leave to work at his office and go for walks. And details were withheld from the victims. Because he “belonged to intelligence”. [31]
Remember that Les Wexner introduced Mossad blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein in to “high society” was part of a zionist elite group formed with billionaire Charles Bronfman, son of zionist crime syndicate chief Samuel Bronfman, the Study Group, which is more widely known as the “Mega Group”.
— (Wiki; What we know — and what we don’t — about retail mogul Les Wexner’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein, Vox Magazine, July 26, 2019)
Epstein was groomed, financed and protected by Israeli assets. Not one of them have been charged. [32]
Abramoff
2002-2006
Lobbyist and zionist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty to bribery and fraud in 2006.
The Israeli Settler Connection: Of all the new facts to emerge from yesterday’s hearing, few are as strange as the details of Abramoff’s connection to militant Israeli settlers. Newsweek reported this spring that Abramoff had funneled Indian money through his ostensibly charitable organization, The Capital Athletic Foundation, to pay for paramilitary equipment and training for Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The new batch of emails seem to confirm it. They show long exchanges between Abramoff and a West Bank settler named Schmuel Ben Zvi, a former high school friend of his from Hollywood, in which Abramoff discusses the procurement of military-use equipment for Ben Zvi and his fellow settlers. [33]
“More than $140,000 of foundation funds were actually sent to the Israeli West Bank where they were used by a Jewish settler to mobilize against the Palestinian uprising. Among the expenditures: purchases of camouflage suits, sniper scopes, night-vision binoculars, a thermal imager, and other material described in foundation records as ‘security’ equipment. The FBI, sources tell Newsweek, is now examining these payments as part of a larger investigation to determine if Abramoff defrauded his Indian tribe clients.”
(Michael Isikoff, Newsweek, 2006)
During the mid eighties, Abramoff was part of a Washington think-tank called the International Freedom Foundation that had branches in Johannesburg, South Africa and London, England. The International Freedom Foundation was actually a front for intelligence operators who worked on psycho-political operations to prolong apartheid. People involved included United States Department of State Officials, United States Congressmen, and US Intelligence agents.
(Front for Apartheid, Newsday, Dele Olojede in South Africa and Timothy M. Phelps in Washington, Sunday, July 16, 1995.)
Abramoff was directly connected to Farid Ghadry’s NGO, the Reform Party of Syria. It coordinated with the Syrian National Council, and transmits Radio Free Syria from Cyprus and Germany to destabilize Syria.
“… Reform Party of Syria’s Farid Ghadry has been a featured speaker at the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, and is himself a member of AIPAC. When repeated calls to his organization went unanswered, I visited the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the RFP. Reform Party of Syria is the office of «super-Zionist» lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Middle Gate Ventures, Abramoff’s ‘political advisory company’ partners with RFP.” [34]

Former «Prime Minister of Israel» Ehud Olmert as well:
Prime minister Ehud Olmert was sharply criticised in israel when he accidentally acknowledged possession of nuclear weapons in an interview on german tV (12 december 2006), by talking about iran “aspiring to have nuclear weapons, like America, France, Israel and Russia” [36]
The zionist infiltration of the “New Labour Party”
From Christopher Bollyn’s “How Mossad Controls our Political Parties.» (November 22, 2008)
1996-2007
▪️Michael Abraham Levy, or «Lord Levy,» was known as «Lord Cashpoint» when he was the leading fundraiser for the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007.
▪️Described as «a long- standing friend of Tony Blair”, Levy served as Blair’s special envoy to the Middle East from 1998 until 2007, when he was replaced by Gordon Brown’s appointee, Michael Williams.
▪️Levy’s son, Daniel, is an Israeli citizen (immigrated in 1991) who has held high-level positions in Israeli governments since 1995.
▪️While his father was bankrolling and managing Tony Blair, the younger Levy was a member of the Israeli negotiating team to the «Oslo 2» agreement during the summer of 1995 under Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
▪️He was also a member of the Israeli delegation to the Palestinian summit at Taba in January 2001.
▪️The younger Levy also served as senior policy adviser to former Israeli Minister of Justice, Yossi Beilin, from March 2000 to March 2001.
▪️Under Ehud Barak, Levy served as the prime minister’s special adviser and head of the Jerusalem Affairs unit.
▪️On George Bush Jr’s election, early 2001, Tony Blair recalled how his first words to him were “We have to do Iraq,».
▪️Similar Zionist forces were at work on Bush (as we’ve seen)
▪️When Blair stepped down, as Lord Levy had by 2007, Gordon Brown took over. Filling Levy’s void was Sir Ronald Cohen who had been bankrolling any future leadership bid by Brown.
(The Sunday Times, January 16, 2005, “Brown picks tycoon to back power bid”, David Leppard and Robert Winnett)
▪️Since 1996, Cohen has reportedly given Labour an estimated $5 million and bankrolled Gordon Brown’s career.
▪️At their home in New York they entertain their friends the Clintons.
▪️Cohen’s third (and last) wife is Israeli-American Sharon Harel-Cohen.
Her father is Yossi Harel who was one of the founding chiefs of the Mossad and Israeli military intelligence until his death in April 2008.
▪️Sharon Ruth Harel was born in Los Angeles on March 6, 1952. Her mother, a «Julie Berez» married Mossad officer Joseph Hamburger (a.k.a. Yossi Harel) in 1950 while he was stationed in Los Angeles. Harel was, most likely, engaged in the illegal procurement of weapons, ships, planes, and military technology for the Israeli military.
[Note: This was rife especially at that time. And for decades afterwards to the present day. Harel is yet another “founder of Israel” who moved to the US soon after 1948]
▪️His 2008 obituaries say that «Yosef» Hamburger was born, with a twin brother, in Jerusalem, British-occupied Palestine, in 1918. At age fifteen he joined the Haganah, the Zionist militia/terrorist group. Five years later he joined the Special Night Squad, an anti-Palestinian terrorist unit. In 1941, Harel joined the Palmach, the «strike force» of the Haganah before transferring to the Palyam, its naval unit.
▪️During the 1948 Zionist war to conquer Palestine, Harel served as the liaison officer to the army‘s chief of staff, Yaakov Dori, and played an important role in co-ordinating the Zionist campaign. He was also the personal body guard for Israel‘s first president, Chaim Weizmann
▪️Harel went on to pursue a successful business career, the Telegraph reported, «which served as a cover for his work for Israeli intelligence.»

Ruth Smeeth, “British AIPAC” and the grooming of the “left”
From 2005 to 2007, Ruth Smeeth had become director of public affairs and campaigns at pro-Israel group the British Israel Communications and Research Centre (Bicom).
BICOM is/was the equivalent of AIPAC, but in the UK.
“The group was set up in 2000 to counter alleged anti-Israeli messages in the British media but now works more generally to shift public opinion in favour of Israel.” [44]
BICOM’s founder, Poju Zabludowicz and BICOM executive committee member Trevor Chinn helped fund her election campaign.
Zabludowicz is the son of Shlomo, an Israeli arms dealer who used Israeli assets Richard Perle and John Lehman to sell their goods in the US during the 1970s and 1980s. [45]
A 2009 US embassy cable from London, revealed by Chelsea Manning and published by Wikileaks, detailed a conversation with Ruth Smeeth about Labour Party affairs, saying she was a source they should “strictly protect.” [46]
[Note: In 1989, John Lehman attended Israeli spy, Robert Maxwell’s yacht party. Also attended by Ghislaine Maxwell, provider of young girls to be used as blackmail bait by Israeli asset, Jeffrey Epstein. [47]]
Smeeth would be a key cog in the anti-Corbyn smear campaign. [48]
Her husband, Michael Smeeth, is a member of the executive body of the British-American Project (BAP)
⁃ Wiki
“Many BAP alumni are directly involved with U.S. and UK military and defense establishments.”
An American BAP organizer describes the BAP network as committed to “grooming leaders” while promoting “the leading global role that [the U.S. and Britain] continue to play.”
The BAP’s British “alumni” are drawn largely from new Labor and its court no fewer than four BAP “fellows” and one advisory board member became ministers in the first Blair government.
BAP conferences are held alternately in the U.S. and Britain. This year’s was in Newcastle, with the theme “Faith and Justice.” On the U.S. board is Diana Negroponte, the wife of John Negroponte, Bush’s former national security chief notorious for his associations with death-squad politics in central America. He follows another leading neocon, Paul Wolfowitz…
Many right wing journalists and BBC journalists are among its members. Among its founders are Ronald Reagan and (zionist communications magnate) Rupert Murdoch. [49]

Obama
▪️The day after Barack Obama was elected president, the Israeli press proudly proclaimed that the new president had chosen an Israeli, Rahm Emanuel, to manage the new administration.
(Ha’aretz, November 6, 2008)
▪️The new chief of staff was an Israeli, with terrorist roots and a sworn loyalty to the state of Israel.
▪️Emanuel’s father, Benjamin M. Emanuel (formerly Auerbach), was once a member of the Irgun. Before moving to Chicago (another “founder” of Israel who actually lived in Jerusalem who upped sticks and moved to the US soon after 1948 – obviously the US was the next target), his father was an active member of this terrorist group of assassins and bombers, which was also known as LEHI.
▪️He volunteered to help the IDF for a number of weeks in 1991.
▪️He was also a close adviser to Bill Clinton throughout his election campaign.
“Emanuel, a former Bill Clinton adviser, is the son of a Jerusalem-born pediatrician who was a member of the Irgun (Etzel or IZL).
Rahm Emanuel’s father, Benjamin [said]:
«Obama is a pro-Israeli leader and will be a friend to Israel ,»
He also said his son is the namesake of Rahamim, a Lehi combatant who was killed.”
(«Obama’s first pick: Israeli Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff,» November 6, 2008, Ha’aretz)
▪️Rahm Emanuel is named after a terrorist who belonged to the Stern Gang, a fascist organization linked with the Nazis. Two of its leaders would go on to be Israeli prime ministers. Menchamin Begin and Yitzhak Shamir. [50]
▪️Emanuel is part of the Chicago-based team of political Zionists with David Axelrod, Obama’s chief campaign strategist.
▪️These two spearheaded the campaign to put Barack Obama into the White House as far back as 1992. They were sponsored by Bettylu Saltzman, the daughter of Chicago’s super-Zionist, Philip M. Klutznick.
▪️Saltzman has been supporting and financing Obama’s political career since 1992, long before he ran for office. Saltzman is the only daughter of the Zionist leader, Philip Morris Klutznick.
(Wallace-Wells, Ben, «Obama’s Narrator,» New York Times, April 1, 2007)
▪️Saltzman’s father, Philip M. Klutznick, was Israel’s biggest supporter in Chicago. Klutznick was the former president of B’nai B’rith International (1953-59), and president of a string of pro-Israel organizations throughout his life until he died in 1999.
▪️In 1960, Philip Klutznick, then president of B’nai B’rith, wittingly established a B’nai B’rith cover for an Israeli intelligence operation at its offices in New York.
▪️The Mossad case officer for the operation was Uri Ra’anan, then the director of the Israeli Consulate’s Information Department in New York. Uri Ra’anan would later have the biggest spy in US history, Jonathan Pollard as a “student”.
▪️Mrs. Avis Shulman (Mossad agent) was controlled and financed by Uri Ra’anan, then the director of the Israeli Consulate’s Information Department. [51]

Thieving…..again
Israeli efforts to obtain US technology are ongoing. Stewart David Nozette, a US government scientist who was arrested on October 19, 2009 in an FBI sting operation after offering to spy for Israel has been waiting in jail to go to trial on espionage charges. New documents in the case were presented in the Federal court in Washington last week. The documents confirm that Nozette was a paid consultant for Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) and it is believed that he passed to them classified material in return for an estimated $225,000 in consulting fees. Examination of his computer by the FBI revealed that he was planning a «penetration of NASA» the US space agency and that he was also trying to crack into other scientists’ computers to obtain additional classified material. Other documents demonstrate that he was cooperating with two Israeli scientists who were administrators with IAI, Yossi Weiss and Yossi Fishman. [52]
NSA shares raw intelligence including Americans’ data with Israel
▪️Secret deal places no legal limits on use of data by Israelis
▪️Only official US government communications protected
Israel is allowed to receive «raw Sigint» – signal intelligence. The memorandum says:
“Raw Sigint includes, but is not limited to, unevaluated and unminimized transcripts, gists, facsimiles, telex, voice and Digital Network Intelligence metadata and content.»
According to the agreement, the intelligence being shared would not be filtered in advance by NSA analysts to remove US communications.
Although the memorandum is explicit in saying the material had to be handled in accordance with US law, and that the Israelis agreed not to deliberately target Americans identified in the data (yeah, because Israel has a track record of being an honest broker in the spying stakes…), these rules are not backed up by legal obligations. [54]
[Note: It doesn’t matter how many times they are caught – remember the 9/11 spy ring – they are free to do as they want.]
South and Central America
According to Centro de Estudio para la Democracia (Cespad), the government of Honduras spent more than US$343 million on weapons and spy equipment since 2013. Under the former US installed President Porfirio Lobo and under right-wing President Juan Orlando Hernandez (2014), the country began to import drones, boats, spy-equipment and radars.
Israel plays a vital role in the supply according to the document. Remember, the Hondurans were broke, but the corrupt military, politicians and Israelis were stuffing their pockets. [53]
(2002-) 2010
One figure who emerged as a “legitimate face” of the right wing movement, and clandestine figurehead of the Colombian militias, was Álvaro Uribe, future president of Colombia (2002 – 2010).
He was exposed as the “face” and financier of far right terrorism (AUC) in Colombia. Terrorism that wiped out over 100,000 civilians in 20 years. [56]
Uribe was chosen by Israel as a panel member in to the UN (whitewash) investigation in to the Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara ship (part of a flotilla trying to break the Gaza blockade in 2010) killing 9 people on board. .. Uribe undertakes his role of «impartial investigator» weighed down with awards from various Zionist organizations. These include the American Jewish Committee’s “Light unto the Nations Award” and descending further into Orwellian doublespeak, the “Presidential Gold Medallion for Humanitarianism” from B’nai Brith. [57]
The Pledge
Cynthia McKinney speaks about the pledge that needs to be taken to get significant funding for national election campaigns. Israel’s hold on Washington D.C. is overwhelming. [55]
Summary
🛑 Israeli espionage, intrigue and infiltration of key US government positions continued from 2000 onwards. Even after 9/11 when they were fully exposed.
🛑 “Israel conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally.”
Despite decades of Israeli spying and theft of military technology, they were given even more leeway to make the espionage and sale of US technology even easier! The DIA was purposely sidelined (before 9/11), and Mossad were allowed to dip in to raw data collected on US citizens.
Despite the industrial scale of the espionage using every method possible, and it being sold to the highest bidder, absolutely nothing was done.
🛑 They had also gained key positions in the UK alongside the “New Labour” leadership (beginning back in 1996).
🛑 The same characters who had blatantly been spying for Israel for decades before under the banner of “neoconservatism”, and who had been maintaining “jobs for the boys” all those years, pushed for war with Iraq. They were allowed to set up a zionist run disinformation office in the Pentagon. It was headed by a Likudite whose law partner was an Israeli settler. And he made a fortune from the destruction of Iraq. Douglas Feith. They were visited at the Pentagon by Israeli military officers. They created a trail of lies from WMDs to anthrax and lies about Iraq’s connection to alleged hijacker, Mohammad Atta. The majority of the disinformation was sourced back to Mossad. Disinformation that has been in the works before 9/11 but by an amazing “coincidence” tallied with what happened that day and in the weeks and months after. [58]
🛑 After 9/11, the extent of Israeli espionage was exposed (by accident). Israeli military intelligence was exposed as being directly involved, or in need of further investigation, at each 9/11 site. They were connected to the alleged hijackers and security at 3 of the sites. They also knew the time and place of the attacks, warned fellow zionists, and some even made money from it. Mossad agents were caught recording and celebrating the first attack on the North Tower in New York. [59]
🛑 Despite Israel being caught red handed re 9/11, hardcore zionists who had been pushing for war with Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, were in crucial positions to cover up Israel’s role.
🛑 Just one month after 9/11, two Israelis (one a known Mossad commander) were arrested in the Mexican Congress carrying guns and explosives.
🛑 There was in effect, a zionist/neoconservative temporary coup backed by the military, FBI and media that marched the US by the scruff to war with Iraq.
🛑 Bill Clinton would be revealed to have had hardcore zionist sponsors and advisers throughout his presidential career. The Marc Rich affair, where he pardoned a known long term Mossad asset for money on his last day in office, showed just how corrupt he was. One of those who organized the bribes was an AIPAC executive who also doubled as a Democrat “fundraiser”.
Has there ever been a time when the Democrat Party finances weren’t in the hands of people loyal to Israel?
And he was blackmailed, first by an elite group of “Jewish philanthropists” who turned out to be Israeli spies and handlers called “Mega”, and then by a paedophile blackmailer, Jeffrey Epstein, who himself was sponsored by “Mega”.
🛑 Netanyahu received a warning about the London Underground bombings while he was in London and canceled his schedule that morning. Nobody else received these warnings. Just as on 9/11.
🛑 As with the Democrats’ fundraising activities and “advisers” positions being filled with zionists, the same tactic was being used on Tony Blair and “New Labour”. Blair’s friend, “leading fundraiser” and long term special envoy to the Middle East throughout his rule as Prime Minister was (Lord) Michael Abraham Levy. Levy’s son was an Israeli citizen who has held high level Israeli government posts, including adviser and negotiator on various “peace talks” initiatives (that were actually con jobs).
🛑 Simultaneously, to cover another possible outcome on the leadership of “New Labour”, future Prime Minister post-Blair, Gordon Brown, was taken under the wing of Sir Ronald Cohen who had been bankrolling any future leadership bid by Brown. Cohen, a friend of the Clintons, actually bankrolled his career and had donated $5 million to New Labour.
His third and last wife was the daughter of a former Haganah commander and lifelong Mossad chief who had, along with many other “founders of Israel”, moved to the US soon after 1948 (he was actually born in Jerusalem) and worked for Israeli intelligence his whole life.
🛑 The hijacking of the British left had been an ongoing project since the 1980s under the “British American Project” (BAP) which converted the Labour Party in to a compromised neoliberal model based on the Democrats. It boasted of its purpose of “grooming leaders” and was sponsored by the military complex, filled with right wing entities (including neocons) and the media (BBC and Murdoch). That two Israelophiles with connections to Israeli intelligence and government at the highest levels took two future consecutive New Labour leaders under their wings should tell you all you need to know. That Blair’s very first words to Bush when he was elected was “we need to do Iraq” followed by his lies to get this done, shows the long term plans envisaged by “BAP”.
🛑 BICOM, Britain’s propaganda machine for Israel based on AIPAC’s model, was founded by Poju Zabludowicz . One of its executive committee members was Trevor Chinn who helped fund numerous Blairites. The purpose of this sponsorship would come to light with the destruction of the emerging socialist policies of Corbyn, after Corbyn himself and his people were ousted in a coup.
Zabludowicz is the son of Shlomo, an Israeli arms dealer who used Israeli assets Richard Perle and John Lehman to sell their goods in the US during the 1970s and 1980s.
🛑 Barak Obama was another future world leader whose career was in the hands of zionists from a very early stage. From 1992 in fact. David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel and the person who brought these two together to spearhead Obama’s election campaign, Bettylu Saltzman, the daughter of Israeli asset (dating back decades), Philip M. Klutznick.
Klutznick was the former president of B’nai B’rith International (1953-59), and president of a string of pro-Israel organizations throughout his life until he died in 1999.
In 1960, Philip Klutznick, then president of B’nai B’rith, had wittingly established a B’nai B’rith cover for an Israeli intelligence operation at its offices in New York. The Mossad case officer for this project was Uri Ra’anan, who would have one Jonathan Pollard as a student. Tangled webs and all that.
Emanuel was the son of a former Irgun member and was named after a Lehi combatant. Lehi had attempted to form an alliance with Hitler’s Germany (and no, this wasn’t an “insignificant” extremist organization – two of their leaders went on to become Israeli presidents). Obama chose this Israeli to manage his new administration. [60]
And just as had happened with Blair and his successor, Gordon Brown, both Clinton and his future successor Barak Obama, had their careers managed by zionists.
🛑 Cynthia McKinney exposed the pledge to Israel that needs to be taken to get significant funding for national election campaigns. “Israel’s hold on Washington D.C. is overwhelming.”
🛑 I had to split this blog in to two parts because while zionism was wheeling and dealing on the global stage, they were busy in Palestine creating the largest concentration camp on the planet, turning the screw on their apartheid plans for the natives, and between 2001 and 2007 Israel killed more Palestinians per year than it killed during the first 20 years of occupation. “Moreover, since the eruption of the second intifada (in 2000) Israelis have killed almost twice as many Palestinians as they killed in the preceding 34 years”. They also spread the bloodshed to Lebanon, and greased the wheels on the nightmare that is present-day Syria. Busy, busy, busy.
«I want to tell you something very clear. Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America and the Americans know it.» [1]

“America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction.” [2]
— Benjamin Netanyahu
Sharon and Netanyahu were right. For the previous sixty years, zionism had been (blatantly) infiltrating the political and security establishment of the US. As the previous blogs have shown, Israel’s infiltration had reached arrogant proportions.
9/11 panic reporting (when some MSM journalists actually did their job – until they were reined in), a DEA investigation that had begun months before 9/11, and the actual capture of over zealous Mossad operatives celebrating the very first incident, the North Tower being struck by an aircraft, opened up an Israeli can of worms.
A can of worms where loyal friends of Israel were warned of the attacks. Well in advance.
A can of worms where Israelis and US zionists were in pivotal positions to pull off an “inside job”.
A can of worms that was sealed again in the days, weeks and years that followed, by Israeli friends in positions of power at the heart of the US establishment.
A can of worms where the narrative for the response to these attacks was totally pro-Israel. And had been stewing well before 9/11.
Let’s get to it…

The Israeli “art students”
▪️ In a June 2001 memo issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Office of Security Programs, it was reported that more than 120 young Israeli citizens posing as art students, had repeatedly attempted to penetrate DEA offices and other law enforcement and Defense Department offices across the country.
▪️The DEA report stated that the Israelis may have been engaged in «an organized intelligence gathering activity«.
▪️And that the “Israeli Art Student activity” began in the US at *the beginning of 2000. And in November/December of the same year, incidents increase and continue through at least June 2001. [3]
(June 2001 DEA Memo relating to Israeli Art Students)
🛑 *Note: the timeline will prove to be very important. The timeline narrative of the alleged hijackers corresponds with the timeline and placement of these Israeli spies.
▪️Some of the detainees also failed polygraph questions when asked about alleged surveillance activities against and in the United States.
▪️Others among the «art students» had specific backgrounds in electronic surveillance or military intelligence, or were associated with Israeli wiretapping and surveillance firms.
▪️Some of the Israelis were observed diagramming the inside of federal buildings. Some were found carrying photographs they had taken of federal agents. One was discovered with a computer printout in his luggage that referred to «DEA groups.»
▪️*According to the memo, «the most activity [was] reported in the state of Florida» during the first half of 2001, where the town of Hollywood appeared to be «a central point for these individuals with several having addresses in this area».
🛑 *Note: December 2000 — alleged pilot hijackers Atta, Jarrah, and Shehhi spend their (supposed) first time in the Southeast Florida area which is the area of the largest concentration of Israeli Art Students.
(FBI 9/11 hijacker timeline)]
🛑 *Note: The “hijacker” narrative is very confusing and suspect. Whether you believe the reports on their movements or not – I personally believe that at the very most, they were patsies – there are far, far too many instances where they and the Israeli spies are in each other’s orbits.
▪️One «art student» was a former Israeli military intelligence officer named Hanan Serfaty, who rented two Hollywood apartments close to the mail drop and apartment of Mohammed Atta and four other alleged hijackers. Serfaty was moving large amounts of cash: he carried bank slips showing more than $100,000 deposited from December 2000 through the first quarter of 2001.
▪️Serfaty’s apartments, serving as crash pads for at least two other «art students», were located at 4220 Sheridan Street and 701 South 21st Avenue. Alleged lead hijacker Mohammed Atta’s mail drop was at 3389 Sheridan Street–approximately 2,700 feet (half a mile) from Serfaty’s Sheridan Street apartment.
▪️Both Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi (Flight 175) lived in a rented apartment at 1818 Jackson Street, some 1,800 feet from Serfaty’s South 21st Avenue apartment.
▪️During 2001, according to the official story, Hollywood was a hotbed of al-Qaeda activity and served as one of the chief staging grounds for the hijacking of the World Trade Center planes (Flights 11 and 175) and the Pennsylvania plane (Flight 93). It was allegedly home to fifteen of the nineteen future hijackers, nine in Hollywood and six in the surrounding area.
▪️Among the 120 suspected Israeli spies posing as art students, more than thirty lived in the Hollywood area, ten in Hollywood proper.
“In fact, an improbable series of coincidences emerges from a close reading of the 2001 DEA memo, the 9/11 Commission’s staff statements and final report, FBI and Justice Department watch lists, hijacker timelines compiled by major media and statements by local, state and federal law enforcement personnel.”
▪️In at least six urban centers, suspected Israeli spies and alleged 9/11 hijackers and/or al-Qaeda connected suspects lived and operated near one another, in some cases less than half a mile apart, for various periods during 2001 in the run-up to the attacks.
▪️The French daily Le Monde reported that six «art students» were apparently using cell phones that had been purchased by a former Israeli vice consul in the U.S.A.
▪️»Art student» Michal Gal, arrested by DEA investigators in Irving, Texas, in the spring of 2001, was released on a $10,000 cash bond posted by Ophir Baer, an employee of the Israeli telecommunications software company Amdocs Inc. (which would be implicated for spying post 9/11)
▪️All five alleged hijackers of Flight 77 (Pentagon) maintained addresses or were active within a six-mile radius of towns associated with the Israelis employed at Urban Moving Systems (to be discussed). Hudson and Bergen counties, the areas where the Israelis were allegedly conducting surveillance, were a central staging ground for the alleged hijackers of Flight 77.
▪️Mohammed Atta maintained a mail-drop address and visited friends in northern New Jersey; his contacts there included Hani Hanjour and Majed Moqed (Flight 77). [4]
(CHRISTOPHER KETCHAM, The Israeli «art student» mystery, Salon, 2002)
When the Israeli spy ring and alleged hijacker connection was exposed, MSM was at the forefront of a damage control exercise:
«Mossad agents in the U.S. were in all probability surveilling at least four of the 19 hijackers».
(Die Zeit, “Next Door to Mohammed Atta”, 2002)
[The FBI apparently shared their report on Mossad activity with the French according to the author of this piece]
“In the city of Hollywood, Florida, they localized…Mohammed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi as possible terrorists. Agents nested near their apartment…and observed them around the clock. Shortly afterwards, however, the agents were exposed by the US authorities and deported to Israel.
Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hamsi (Pentagon plane)….were on the Israeli list. Although their names had been on a nationally widespread FBI search list since the late summer of 2001, they were able to travel freely in the USA and also on the 11th. September with their real passports.”
(“Mossad agents were on the trail of Atta”, Der Speigel, 01/10/2002)
“Israelis may have gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance, and not shared it»,
(Fox correspondent Carl Cameron, December 2001)
More Israeli spying…
In 2000…
«The current hush-hush probe by the FBI, and what its agents believe to be a serious but amorphous security breach involving telephone and modem lines that are being monitored by Israeli agents, has even more serious ramifications.
…the FBI believes it has uncovered a means using telephone-company equipment at remote sites to track calls placed to or received from high-ranking government officials, possibly including the president himself..
[…]
U.S. officials believe that an Israeli penetration of that telephone utility in the Washington area was coordinated with a penetration of agents using another telephone support-services company to target select telephone lines. Suspected penetration includes lines and systems at the White House and NSC..
«[The FBI] uncovered what appears to be a sophisticated means to listen in on conversations from remote telephone sites with capabilities of providing real-time audio feeds directly to Tel Aviv,»
(By J. Michael Waller and Paul M. Rodriguez, Insight Magazine, 5-29-00)
And in 2001…
«The story on Israeli spying inside the US focused on three companies”
▪️Amdocs (who bailed out one of the “art student” spies), which provides billing and directory assistance for most American phone companies;
▪️Comverse Infosys, which installs and mainstains telephone tapping equipment for US law enforcement;
▪️Odigo, which provides services for the various «Instant Message» systems on your computer.
🛑 Odigo, which had offices near the World Trade Towers, is the company which received a two hour advance warning of the attacks of 9-11.
▪️All three companies are owned by Israel and have strong ties to the Israeli Defense Force.
▪️Both Amdocs and Comverse Infosys were implicated in the sale of telephone data which compromised US investigations into drug running.
🛑 Note: the reason why some of the “Israeli students” were targeting the DEA?
▪️Comverse Infosys phone taps are suspected of being the means by which Bill Clinton’s phone sex sessions were recorded.
🛑 Note: Netanyahu was alleged to have threatened Clinton with the release of these recordings if Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard wasn’t released.
▪️It turns out that the majority of the firewalls on US corporate and government computer systems are provided by just one company, Checkpoint Systems, which like Amdocs, Comverse Infosys, and Odigo, is headquartered in Israel.
HUME: “Carl, what about this question of advanced knowledge of what was going to happen on 9/11? How clear are investigators that some Israeli agents may have known something?”
CAMERON: “Well it’s very explosive information obviously and there is a great deal of evidence that they say they have collected. None of it necessarily conclusive. It’s more when they put it all together a big question they say is, ‘How could they have not known?’ — almost a direct quote, Brit.”
«Investigators within the DEA, INS and FBI have all told Fox News that to pursue or even suggest Israeli spying … is considered career suicide.» [5][6]

Prior knowledge Part One
Odigo
Odigo, the [Israeli] instant messaging service mentioned above, said that *two of its workers received messages two hours before the Twin Towers attack on September 11 predicting the attack would happen, and the company has been cooperating with Israeli and American law enforcement, including the FBI, in trying to find the original sender of the message predicting the attack. [7]
🛑 *Note: the exact content has never been released and no follow up investigation on the source who was allegedly identified and the details passed to the FBI, was ever reported.
Two weeks after 9-11, Alex Diamandis, Odigo’s vice president, said, «The messages said something big was going to happen in a certain amount of time, and it did – almost to the minute.»
(WASHINGTON POST, 10/4/2001)
🛑 Note: It’s never been confirmed that just these two workers (who were in Israel at the time) were the only people to receive this warning. My hunch is that multiple messages were sent out to operatives. And that they reached these two workers by accident.
9/11 – The “dancing Israelis”
▪️On the morning of 9/11 three Israeli men were spotted in a carpark between 08:47am (the time the first plane struck) and 09:00am celebrating the crash of an aircraft in to the North Tower (the first tower struck that day).
▪️ The Israelis were there the day before, according to one witness and two photos (photocopies released under FOIA) that they had taken, time stamped 9/10/01.
▪️A total of five Israelis would be arrested. They worked for a furniture removal company called «Urban Moving Systems» which would eventually be unveiled as a Mossad operation.
▪️ The Israeli intelligence front company Urban Moving Systems was incorporated in April 1997. And moved to Weehawken in 1999.
(New Jersey Department of Revenue, Business Entity Status Report Search for Urban Moving Systems, Inc.)
▪️*Those arrested all had plane tickets for immediate departure to different countries.
🛑 They were ready to leave straight after 9/11.
▪️ the five were stopped and arrested at a checkpoint later that afternoon. Their van provoked a «positive reaction» from bomb sniffing dogs. Results of the swabs taken inside the van still haven’t been released by the FBI.
▪️ The owner of Urban Moving Systems, an Israeli citizen named Dominick Suter, left the country immediately following the arrests, and abandoned his business entirely.
🛑 Note: According to the public records database Intelius, in 2006 and 2007 Suter also worked for a telecommunications company — Granite Telecommunications — that works for the U.S. military and several other U.S. government agencies.
▪️They took 76 photos (a video camera which a witness described them as using wasn’t found). All of these photos were allegedly destroyed.
▪️According to various eyewitnesses, the geography of the area and distances involved, the time recorded on a punch-in card of another employee at UMS, UMS employees, and the Israelis themselves, they were in position to film the first plane strike either before, during or just after the crash.
▪️They were filmed celebrating what everybody else, including the media, thought was an accident.
▪️ They were questioned by the FBI for 72 days. They ALL failed polygraph tests. One actually refused to give one for ten weeks…and failed when he eventually did.
▪️ Urban Moving Systems employees, more Israelis, were also stopped in a van in the area of the alleged Flight 93 crash site in Shankesville, Pennsylvania, on the 10th, 11th and 12th of September. They also lied about the circumstances of being there.
▪️The five Israelis were released after pressure from Israel/US neocons and deported for “visa violations”. [8][9][10]
▪️Here is a police statement received by the FBI on the UMS employees stopped in the Shankesville area three days consecutively from 10-12 September. They also lied about the circumstances of being there:
«Furthermore, on 09/11/2001, [blank] of the Pennsylvania State Police detained a yellow Penske box truck upon the request of Newark. [Blank] inspected the vehicle and determined that the vehicle’s two (2) occupants, [blank] and [blank] both identified as Israeli nationals, were on their way to Columbus, OH. When Newark later questioned [blank] of Urban Moving Systems about the vehicle’s presence in Pennsylvania, he could not offer an explanation. According to the moving company’s [blank] the two (2) occupants and their vehicle were supposed to complete a moving job in a different part of the country.”
«Newark also received information pertaining to another Urban Moving Systems vehicle which had been stopped while traveling westbout [sic] by the Pennsylvania State Police on 09/10/2001, the day prior to the terrorist attack. At 11:30pm, a Penske truck was stopped for a traffic violation. The vehicle was identified as having been leased by Urban Moving Systems of Weehawken, NJ. The individuals questioned, [blank] and [blank] identified as Israeli Nationals, advised that they were bound for Columbus, OH.
On 09/12/2001, the same truck was once again stopped while traveling eastbound in Pennsylvania. [Blank] and [blank] the same Israeli nationals identified earlier, were detained. During questioning by the Pennsylvania State Police, the Israelis advised that they weren’t «in New York» on 09/11/2001. A gasoline purchase receipt recovered by the Pennsylvania State Police seems to contradict their claim in that the receipt, dated 09/11/2001, was for gasoline purchased in New Jersey. (Lead set to Williamsport RA presently pending.)
A subsequent interview of the president/owner of Urban Moving Systems revealed that [blank] and [blank] delivery schedule for the morning of 09/11/2001 did not include any pickups or deliveries outside of New Jersey. Oddly, [blank] and [blank] were stopped while traveling in the direction of the site of the hijacked plane that crashed outside of Pittsburgh, PA.» [11]
To give an idea of just how far “off track” these Israelis were:
Nearly five hours from their base in New York at 11:30 at nightAnother 4 hours to reach the destination that their boss says they shouldn’t have been anywhere near.
What were the Israeli spies up to?
▪️The majority of alleged hijackers (or their paper trail) were fast tracked through a CIA friendly consulate in Saudi Arabia.
April to June 2001 — thirteen alleged “muscle hijackers” (aka patsies) enter the US, primarily from Jeddah Saudi Arabia, a renowned CIA consulate/outpost. Further investigation shows that their badly filled in applications were forced through.
(9-11 Hijackers Passports were issued by the CIA – US Consulate Whistleblower Michael Springmann; Historycommons)]
▪️One of the alleged hijackers, Ziad Jarrah, had a cousin who was an Israeli spy for 25 years.
(New York Times, Feb 19, 2009)
▪️This is the Ziad Jarrah who in January of 2001 was supposedly in two different countries simultaneously. One Ziad Jarrah was allegedly questioned at Dubai International Airport for several hours at the request of the CIA on January 30.
“This was done at the request of the CIA, for «suspected involvement in terrorist activities.» The CIA notified local officials that he would be arriving from Pakistan on his way back to Europe, and they wanted to know where he had been in Afghanistan and how long he had been there. [CNN, 8/1/02] During the questioning, the man «divulged that he had spent the previous ‘two months and five days’ in Pakistan and Afghanistan —- and that he was returning to Florida…» [Chicago Tribune, 12/13/01] It was later reported that «investigators have confirmed that Jarrah had spent at least three weeks in January 2001 at an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan.» [CNN, 8/1/02]” [13]
This was the official narrative. The reality was very different.
“The only problem with this story is that the real Jarrah was somewhere else at the time. The Florida Flight Training Center, the flight school where Jarrah had been studying for the previous six months, said he was in school there until January 15. His family claimed he arrived in Lebanon to visit on January 26, five days before he supposedly passed through Dubai (and how did he squeeze those “3 weeks” of al Qaeda training in there too?). His father had just undergone open-heart surgery, and Jarrah visited him every day in the hospital, for over a week. Pointing out this incident, his uncle Jamal Jarrah asked, «How could he be in two places at one time?» [13]
Maybe because there were two Ziad Jarrahs. Even the photos of the two Jarrahs, although similar, are obviously of two different people.
If you read the heavily sourced link provided here [13], you’ll see that everybody who actually knew Jarrah, from family, to teachers and instructors reject completely the idea that he was an extremist.
This doubling of specific characters painted as “ringleaders” of the alleged hijackers was done 7 or 8 months before the “radical Jarrah” incident when a man calling himself Mohammad Atta entered the Florida Department of Agriculture and asked for a loan for a crop duster (evoking the notion of a chemical weapon attack). The loan official, Johnelle Bryant, whose account was verified through a polygraph, claimed that in in April or May of 2000:
▪️a man entered her office and gave his name as Mohammad Atta (and made sure she spelled it right!)
▪️that he was originally from Egypt but had moved to the US from Afghanistan.
▪️that he had gone to school in Germany.
▪️that he mentioned al Qaeda and Bin Laden
▪️that he asked questions about the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. Including the security there.
▪️that he made a scene when he suggested that he could easily “cut her throat” and rob a safe in her office. He also flashed large wads of cash.
▪️ that 3 other “terrorists” also attempted to get the same loan from Bryant, but all of them failed.
▪️ Robert Epling, president of Community Bank of Florida, said he received a call from the FBI between the 15th and the 18th of September (2001) saying that Mohamed Atta had gone into a USDA office
▪️ several USDA employees had (…) identified Atta to the FBI
(Transcript of Johnelle Bryant Interview, ABC News, 7 January 2006; Rick Weiss and Justin Blum, Suspect May Have Wanted to Buy Plane; Inquiries Reported On Crop-Duster Loan, Sept 25, 2001)
BUT…
The 9/11 Commission never mentioned this episode. Because according to the FBI timeline, Mohamed Atta supposedly entered the United States on June 3, 2000.
Both Atta and Jarrah laughed their ways through their “martyrdom” videos. One had to “lose” it’s audio because it was so obviously staged.
“In the Flight 93 wreckage, a half-burned copy of his (Jarrah’s) passport was found. [CNN, 8/1/02] — another document that was also found in the wreckage: an old German work permit of Jarrah’s distant cousin, Assem Omar Jarrah… German weekly Der Spiegel claimed that investigators had discovered the records of the former East German Stassi secret service, showing that Assem served with the Libyan secret service and collaborated with Palestinian terrorist mastermind Abu Nidal in the 1980s.. [An-Nadar, 11/8/01][13]
▪️We’ve seen solid proof from his family that another person had stolen Jarrah’s identity. And/or he was being painted as an extremist. There are numerous cases of this for other alleged hijackers (Atta) which were reported by mainstream media in the weeks and months following 9/11. And most of these controversial characters were supposedly in the vicinities of the fake “art students” aka Israeli spies.
▪️One of the “UMS furniture removal van” covers for Israeli spies was stopped in the area where Jarrah’s burned passport and document indirectly linking him with Palestinian extremist Abu Nidal was found (why the hell would he bring this document?): the Flight 93 crash site.
I also want to include this: a witness at the Shankesville crash site described seeing a low flying drone pass over her van, over the trees beyond which lay the crash site, and where an explosion occurred shortly afterwards:
Don’t try and join these particular dots. Just leave them as they are – as individual red flags that require further investigation. I just wanted to show that Israeli spies were in and around the characters involved and the crash sites in (at least) two incidents.

Prior knowledge Part 2
Larry Silverstein
Larry Silverstein is a Jewish American businessman.
▪️He obtained a 99 year lease on the entire world trade center complex on 24 July, 2001. The towers were in fact close to worthless, being filled with asbestos. [14]
▪️He took out specific insurance against acts of «terrorism”. And was paid $4.55 billion in insurance money as a result of the destruction of the WTC complex (New York Times 24 May 2007)
▪️He had breakfast in «Windows on the World» restaurant (located in North Tower 107th Floor) every morning. [15][16][17]
….but broke this routine on the morning of 11 September 2001.
▪️Silverstein’s two children, who also worked in the WTC, were also absent from work that day.
▪️Silverstein Properties had been scheduled to hold a meeting the morning of September 11 in its offices on the 88th floor of the North Tower, reportedly «to discuss what to do in the event of a terrorist attack.» According to the New York Times, that meeting was canceled the night of September 10. [18]
(A DAY OF TERROR: THE INSURERS; Reinsurance Companies Wait to Sort Out Cost of Damages By Andrew Ross Sorkin and Simon Romero)
▪️Silverstein was a friend of Ariel Sharon and Netanyahu [19]
Zim Shipping
▪️A 1979 CIA Assessment of Israeli Intelligence shows that the CIA has long suspected that the Israeli Zim Shipping was used by Israeli intelligence. El Al Airlines was also fingered. [20]
(CIA Assessment of Israeli Intelligence, March 1979, captured at the US embassy when the Shah of Iran was ousted)
▪️The majority of media reports showed that Zim occupied all of the 16th floor (WTC floor space approximated 50,000 square feet), 10,000 square feet of the 17th floor, and some space of the 29th floor of WTC 1.
(Wikipedia, List of Tenants in One World Trade Center)
▪️Zim had about 250 employees at the WTC before its move-out, which would require somewhere in the vicinity of 50,000 to 60,000 square feet of office space.
(“Hunter Retained for Staten Island Office Project (for Zim American Israeli Shipping Co.),” Real Estate Weekly, November 14, 2001.)
▪️The company moved out of the WTC just the week before the 9/11 attacks (Sept. 4) and into a newly built office building in Norfolk, Va., even though they had a significant remaining lease obligation at the WTC.
(Dennis O’Brien, “Shipping Firm Moves Headquarters to Norfolk, VA,” The Virginian Pilot, Sept. 4, 2001)
▪️Zim had actually planned this move in April of 2001.
(“Zim expects to open the new (Norfolk) building by Sept. 4”, Virginian-Pilot, 03/04/01)
▪️Their real estate company was contracted to do a “fast track project” (direct quote) to be able to move out of the WTC by September.
(“Hunter is Representative for Zim Relocation,” Real Estate Weekly, April 25, 2001.)
▪️Assuming Zim leased around 60,000 square feet at $30/square-foot at the WTC, its four and a half year remaining lease obligation would have been about $8 million.
Zim’s remaining WTC lease obligation is calculated at 60,000 square feet of office space, multiplied by $30 per square foot per year rental rate, multiplied by fifty-four remaining lease months, or $8.1 million (i.e., $30/12 X 54 X 60,000 = $8,100,000).
(Plan to Lease Trade Center Is Near a Vote, New York Times, Sept. 24, 1998)
“Rising rent wasn’t an immediate concern [for Zim’s relocation decision] — several years remain on the lease”
(Crain’s New York Business article, April 9, 2001)
Of course “rising rent” wasn’t a concern. They had 4.5 years left on their lease!
▪️Zim had entered into a 10-year lease contract starting on March 1, 1996 and expiring on Feb. 28, 2006
(Letsrollforum FOIA: this is a 9/11 truth forum whose admin requested a FOIA on this information, which they received but which has since disappeared from the site. I know that it’s genuine because it was extensively quoted on the internet by BOTH sides of the debate)
🛑 Whenever questions about this are brought up and suspicions raised, the response is usually that Zim had planned this move months before, so it was nothing to do with 9/11.
1. The alleged hijackers were supposedly on their “mission” since early 2000. How long did it take for this to come to the attention of those who were watching them? That is if they weren’t being groomed or having their legends created during this time period.
2. The haste with which Zim was determined to vacate the WTC doesn’t make sense seeing as how they were going to lose an estimated $8 million coupled with the costs of the “fast track project” when they had 4.5 YEARS in which to do it.
IV
Anthrax attacks the third pointer to prior knowledge
▪️Just one week after 9/11, on September 18, anonymous letters laced with deadly anthrax spores were mailed to media companies and congressional offices. Over the ensuing weeks and months, five people died from inhaling anthrax and 17 others were infected after exposure.
▪️On October 9, 2001, letters containing anthrax were sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.
🛑 Note: Both senators had been attempting to slow the passage of the USA Patriot Act. But “al Qaeda” specifically chose these two?
▪️The anthrax used in the attack was weaponized — milled finely and coated so that it can remain airborne and be inhaled. Weaponization of anthrax is a difficult technical feat that only the US and Russian militaries have achieved. (Wiki)
Jerome M. Hauer
Managing director of the Kroll security company (to be discussed) was Jerome M. Hauer. [21]
(Risk Managers Gather for Annual Conference, EHSToday, April 18, 2001)
▪️On September 11, 2001, Jerome Hauer was also a national security advisor with the National Institute of Health. He also betrayed advance knowledge of the anthrax attacks a week before they happened. The anti-biotic Cipro was administered to Dick Cheney and his close staff as «a precaution» on the evening of 9/11, days before the anthrax letters were even mailed
▪️Hauer’s mother, Rose Muscatine Hauer, is the retired Dean of the Beth Israel School of Nursing and the Honorary President of the New York Chapter of Hadassah, the Daughters of Zion movement that is one of the central Zionist organizations involved in the creation and support of the State of Israel. (Wiki)
▪️He was the former director of Mayor Giuliani’s Office of Emergency Management, was responsible for having the command bunker built in Larry Silverstein’s WTC 7. The emergency bunker that they never used that day. (Lucky, huh?)
▪️Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen would also be advised «in a roundabout way from a high government official» to acquire ciprofloxacin (Cipro).
(How did I get Iraq wrong?, Richard Cohen, Slate Magazine, MARCH 18, 2008)
▪️The mainstream media immediately joined in with the neocon and Mossad narrative to blame Iraq for the attacks. A narrative that had been introduced well before the anthrax was even mailed.
“The leading supplier suspect has to be Iraq”
(The Anthrax Source. Is Iraq unleashing biological weapons on America?, Wall Street Journal, October 15, 2001)
«By far the likeliest supplier is Saddam Hussein,»
(The Wall Street Journal editorial, Oct. 18.)
James Woolsey, former CIA director, neocon and Israelophile, said almost the exact same thing in the Wall Street Journal’s adjacent guest column. After speculating about Iran’s involvement, he said: «But by far the more likely candidate for involvement with al Qaeda is Iraq.»
(The Wall Street Journal, October 18)
Just one day after 9/11, neocon James Woolsey had blamed Iraq on ABC News. [22]
“There is some indication, and I don’t have the conclusions, but some of this anthrax may — and I emphasize may — have come from Iraq.”

“…the German newspaper Bild suggested a more sinister motive for their meetings. The claim, according to Israeli security sources, is that Atta was handed a vacuum flask of anthrax by his Iraqi contact.
(“Hijacker ‘Given Anthrax Flask by Iraqi Agent’,” London Times, 27 October 2001.)
▪️October 26 – October 29: ABC News reports several times that several high-placed sources at Fort Detrick and elsewhere have told them that the anthrax samples contained bentonite, thereby implicating Saddam Hussein’s biological warfare program, and explicitly contradicting official White House reports.
The “sources” for this lie would never be disclosed. But the news was out there. That was enough.
▪️Media reports that anthrax binding agent was bentonite is dismissed.
(Press Briefing by Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge, November 7, 2001)
🛑 The anthrax (was finally) sourced to the US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, a key facility within America’s own bioweapons program. [23]
🛑 That is, the deadly, weaponized anthrax used was sourced back to US labs. Not al Qaeda. Not Iraq.
They went ahead with the lies anyway.
🛑 Judith Miller, who would act as a neocon journalist cheerleader and disinformationist for war in Iraq, would allegedly receive “hoax anthrax” in the post at her job in the New York Times.
🛑 While the anthrax attacks were ongoing, Miller was about to release a book she wrote about possible chemical weapon attacks – where al Qaeda would obtain anthrax from Iraq. And just a few months after she took part in a chemical weapon exercise that espoused the same scenario (coming up next).
🛑 On a (very relevant) side note, the speech that Colin Powell read to the UN calling for war on Iraq because of their “nuclear and anthrax capabilities” (based on more lies) was written by PNAC signatory, Lewis Libby. With the help of Judith Miller.
(R-E-S-P-E-C-T for Colin Powell, Marty Kaplan, Huffington Post, 10/19/2008)
🛑 Libby leaked the name of Valerie Plame, who very publically questioned the bullshit Iraqi intel, in order to blow the cover of the CIA agent as well as her entire team using the front company of Brewster Jennings & Associates (The Plame Affair). [24]
🛑 Judith Miller was one of the conduits for these lies from Libby to “expose” this CIA agent. But her role as cheerleader doesn’t end there.
Dark Winter
▪️ On June 22-23, 2001, 4 months before the Anthrax attacks – the U.S. military held a senior-level war game at Andrews Air Force Base called Dark Winter.
▪️This is very important. The scenario of this bio-terrorism drill was designed to simulate a smallpox attack in three states. Numerous congressmen, former CIA director James Woolsey, New York Times reporter Judith Miller, and anti-terror official Jerome Hauer all participated in the exercise.
▪️As a part of this war game, scripted TV news clips were made to help make this drill as realistic as possible.
The parallels between the Dark Winter exercise and the Anthrax attacks are numerous. For example, in the Dark Winter exercise:
• Anonymous letters are sent to the media
• Anonymous letters threatened anthrax attacks on the United States
• Iraq and Bin Laden are top suspects
▪️At the end of one of these clips, the reporter says:
Iraq might have provided the technology behind the attacks to terrorist groups based in Afghanistan(!!) [25]
The same faces spouted lies for months and years to come until the first bombs dropped on Israel’s “enemy in the region” (I’ll cover this in another blog).
▪️Well after the damage was done, and the ringleaders were still busy licking their fingers counting the dollar bills, the spotlight eventually fell on government scientist Bruce Ivins, who worked at the research lab in Fort Detrick, Md. as being the alleged culprit. He was supposed to have killed himself before he was officially charged. There are various reports that claim to exonerate him, but whatever the truth of the matter, he couldn’t possibly have done this on his own. And if he did have a part to play, it should be known that he was an evangelist who believed that Jews were God’s “chosen people”.
“In one letter he praises a rabbi for refusing to engage in dialogue with a controversial local Muslim cleric.
“By blood and faith, Jews are God’s chosen, and have no need for ‘dialogue’ with any gentile,”Ivins wrote in 2006.
Earlier letters suggest that he saw President Bush’s re-election as a victory for evangelicals.
“You can get on board or get left behind, because that Christian Nation Express is pulling out of the station!” he wrote after the election.” [26]

ICTS and airport security/screening on 9/11
▪️ICTS and one of it’s subsidiaries, Huntleigh, were the companies responsible for the “security lapses” at both the Boston and Newark airports on 9-11.
▪️Huntleigh is a wholly-owned subsidiary of an Israeli company (ICTS) headed by men with clear ties to Israel’s military intelligence agency, Mossad.
(Lawsuit against ICTS/Huntleigh by 9/11 widow Ellen Mariani [27])
▪️Owned by Ezra Harel and Menchamin Atzmon. The latter was a former Likud treasurer and IDF president convicted of fraud and falsifying documents in the 90s. [28]

🛑 If this company had clear ties to Israeli intelligence, how did alleged terrorists on the radar of fellow spies in the US not raise red flags when their tickets were booked in their own names?
Amit Yoran’s «ETHICAL HACKERS»
▪️Amit and Naftali Yoran oversaw cyber-security for the U.S. government and military computers prior to and after 9-11 through their US based company Riptech and “ethical hackers” who “test” security systems (LA Times, August 20, 2001; Irish Times, October 5, 2001)
▪️*Amit Yoran reportedly helped design the Pentagon’s computer security architecture (Washington Times, December 11, 2000)
▪️Elad Yoran was a vice president with Broadview International investment bank which poured $23m in to its coffers. (Washington Times, October 23, 2000). He is also the CEO and founder of a similar funding company called Security Growth Partners (SGP). Among the partners/advisers listed at its site is Ilan Juran (Eng: Yoran). He is director of the US-Israel Civil Infrastructure Security Program, of which he is «executive director.» Juran’s program is, «designed to foster collaboration, as well as knowledge and technology sharing, between the U.S. and Israel governments and critical infrastructure organizations.»
▪️Tim Belcher, a co-founder of Riptech, is another advisor at SGP. As Belcher’s biographical sketch says:
“Mr. Belcher has also conducted security assessments of some of the nation‘s most critical infrastructure components, including the Federal Aviation Administration‘s Air Traffic Control Network… Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Space and Naval Warfare Command.”

THE KROLL CONNECTION
▪️Jeremy M. Kroll, the Managing Director of Marsh Kroll, is also on the «advisory board» of Elad Yoran’s Security Growth Partners.
▪️Jeremy Kroll, the son of Jules B. Kroll, has been an executive at Marsh Kroll, a division of Marsh & McLennan Co. (MMC), since 1996. Jeremy Kroll’s connection with Elad and Amit Yoran through SGP reveals a key link between the American Zionist network and Israeli military intelligence.
▪️Jules Kroll’s wife, Lynn Korda Kroll, is the Vice Chairman of the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) Federation of New York, and is likewise connected to Larry Silverstein, a national chairman of the UJA, the biggest fund- raising organization for the State of Israel.
▪️In 1993, Maurice Greenberg became a partner and co-owner of Jules Kroll’s company when A.I.G. bought twenty-three percent of Kroll. Greenberg is very close to Henry Kissinger, who became chairman of A.I.G.’s International Advisory Board in 1987.
▪️Maurice Greenberg and Jules Kroll became partners in 1993, the same year Kroll Associates «was chosen over three other companies to advise the Port Authority on a redesign of its security procedures.» «We have such confidence in them that I have followed every one of their recommendations,» Stanley Brezenoff, the Port Authority executive director, told the New York Times in 1994.
▪️Kroll Associates was responsible for «revamping security at the World Trade Center after the 1993 terrorist bombing,» (Douglas Frantz, New York Times, 1994)
▪️Kroll continued to manage security for the WTC complex from 1993 until 9-11
▪️Jules Kroll is connected with Larry Silverstein through the Citizens Budget Commission of New York.
▪️Kroll was hired by Kuwait in October 1990 to find the hidden wealth of Saddam Hussein.
(On Saddam’s Money Trail, Newsweek, 4/7/91)
▪️Kroll began profiting from the war in Iraq in April 2003 when it received contracts to provide protection and security for government agencies and companies in Iraq.
(Financial Times, Kroll to sell Iraq and Afghan security unit, 2005)
▪️Maurice Greenberg’s son, Jeffrey W. Greenberg, became CEO of Marsh & McLennan (MMC) in 1999 and chairman in 2000. He served as General Manager at Kroll’s Information Security Group (i.e. computer security). The first plane of 9-11 flew directly into the secure computer room of Marsh (Kroll) USA, part of Greenberg’s company.
▪️Lewis «Jerry» Bremer, the U.S. proconsul who ran occupied Iraq until the end of June 2004, joined Marsh Kroll’s crisis group shortly after 9-11. Bremer had worked closely with Kissinger since the 1970s and was managing director at Kissinger Associates in 2001.
▪️Jeremy Kroll serves on the board of the Israel-based Challenge Fund with Israeli government officials from the highest level, including Israel’s National Security Advisor and Head of the National Security Council, a former head of Shin Bet, former Directors General of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense, former Commanders of the Israel Air Force, Central Command, and the Technology and Logistic Branch of the IDF, as well as the head of Boeing (Israel) and the son of Yitzhak Shamir. The Challenge Fund uses money raised through the Bronfman and Andreas (ADM) families to fund Israeli companies, like ViryaNet.
▪️The Challenge Fund is an Israeli intelligence funding operation, based in Israel and also known as Etgar, which means «challenge» in Hebrew. This limited partnership involves the biggest players in the Zionist funding network in North America with the most senior officers in Israeli military intelligence. This is one of the key funding entities for Israeli intelligence operations in the United States. [29]
▪️On the «advisory board» with Jeremy Kroll sit some of the most interesting people involved in the Challenge Funds. One is David Ivry, president of Boeing [Israel]. Ivry has held several senior military and diplomatic related positions, including Commander of the Israel Air Force (1977-82)
▪️In 1962, David Ivry became the commander of the first Israeli squadron of the French Dassault Mirage fighter jet. During the six-day war of 1967, Ivry served as a Mirage pilot and the commander of the Mystère squadron. Ivry was either personally involved in the criminal Israeli attack on the U.S.S. Liberty with Mirage fighters or commanded those who were.

▪️He was a contributor to the witch-hunt over Iraq throughout the nineties and would join other warhawks in the neoconservative, that is, zionist PNAC. Their top goal was war with Iraq. [30][31]
«Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.» [32]
▪️He served as Pentagon comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. Two large sums of money disappeared from the Pentagon on his watch. On September 10, 2001 Donald Rumsfeld reported $2.3 trillion could not be accounted for. Later Zakheim was unable to account for a further trillion.
▪️The very next day after the Rumsfeld announcement on the “missing money”, the Pentagon was attacked. More specifically, the area where the Pentagon’s budget analysts were based.
“One Army office in the Pentagon lost 34 of its 65 employees in the attack. Most of those killed in the office, called Resource Services Washington, were civilian accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts.”
(“Army unit piercing together accounts of Pentagon attack”, South Coast Today, 2000)
▪️Zakheim is a member of the advisory boards of the anti-Muslim Center for Security Policy and the American Jewish Committee (a pro-Israel advocacy group) [34]
▪️To further show the zionist mindset of the man, he would go on to write a paper defending Israeli torture of POWs.
He used the Torah to claim that “Jewish” standards of treatment of captives in ancient times stood in “marked contrast” to other civilizations.
And he cited a law where female captives had to be treated in a certain way after they had been raped “in the heat of battle”. [35]

🛑 There is so much controversy and there are so many theories over the Pentagon attack, but I need to stay on topic. What I do want to point out are curious incidents that happened just after the explosion there. The intrusion of fake firefighters and fake military personnel soon afterwards.
September 12, the Defense Protective Service (DPS), which guards the Pentagon, arrested three people at the Pentagon who were dressed as firefighters, but were not firefighters. They, or other fake firefighters, had been there from the day before not long after the explosions and fire.

(Goldberg et al., 2007, p170)
Fake military personnel, including one who falsely claimed to be a liaison for the Pentagon Renovation team, wander the site until September 14. This “liaison” even interfered with the crime scene, ordering the removal of corpses.
(Creed and Newman, 2008, pp367-368)
There were also reports of debris and evidence being stolen and/or vandalized by “military personnel” [33]

The red tape brigade
Attorney General John Ashcroft
▪️Christian zionist and friend of Pat Robertson, Attorney General John Ashcroft personally signed off on the UMS Mossad unit’s release.
This is the man who pushed for the right to torture and imprison “terrorist suspects” through the Patriot Act and other draconian legislation. He didn’t see a group of spies celebrating 9/11, who had prior knowledge of the events and who were driving a van that tested positive for explosives as fitting that bill.
Upon his entering the private sector as a lobbyist and consultant in 2005, the Israeli government became one of Ashcroft’s first clients. [36][37][38]
Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage
▪️Six weeks after the UMS spies had been detained, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage (PNAC signatory, involved in Iran Contra affair and genocide in South America aided by US and Israel) and two unidentified «prominent New York congressmen» were lobbying heavily for their release.
(Ha’aretz, November 2001)
▪️According to a source at ABC News close to the 20/20 report, high-profile criminal lawyer Alan Dershowitz also stepped in as a negotiator on behalf of the men to “smooth out differences” with the U.S. government. (Dershowitz declined to comment for this article.)
(CHRISTOPHER KETCHAM, Salon, 2002)
Phillip Zelikow
▪️ 1998 — In an article entitled “Catastrophic Terrorism: Tackling the New Danger,” written for the Council on Foreign Relations’ Foreign Affairs in November 1998, Philip Zelikow and co-authors Ashton Carter and John Deutsche ask readers to imagine a catastrophic act of terrorism like the destruction of the World Trade Center. “Like Pearl Harbor, the event would divide our past and future into a before and after.” [39]
▪️Zionist, neocon and PNAC signatory, Phillip Zelikow was appointed the executive director of the 9/11 Commission – the most powerful position of the committee.
▪️As executive director, Zelikow picked “the areas of investigation, the briefing materials, the topics for hearings, the witnesses, and the lines of questioning for witnesses.” In effect, this was the man in charge of running the investigation itself.
▪️He was responsible for drawing up the official narrative. The report contains hundreds of glaring anomalies, contradictions, omissions and lies. It even manages to omit any reference at all to the collapse of Building 7 at 5:20 pm.
▪️He was a member of Bush’s post-9/11 Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.
▪️The Commission was created formally in December 2002. [40]
▪️9/11 Commission staffers were hired by him and under his complete control and ordered them not to communicate directly with the commissioners. [41][42]
▪️In March 2003, just three months after the commission’s 16-month investigation began, before the commission had even convened a single hearing, that Zelikow, along with long-time associate and commission consultant Ernest May, co-wrote a complete outline of the final report. [43]
▪️…in September 2002 Zelikow would actually author the Bush administration’s “National Security Strategy” that outlined the *preemptive war doctrine that would target and be used against Iraq. Just two months later the 9/11 Commiission was set up. With Zelikow chosen as Executive Director [46]
▪️Zelikow acknowledged that Iraq was no threat to the US. That the real issue was the safety of Israel.
“I’ll tell you what I think the real threat (is) and actually has been since 1990 – it’s the threat against Israel,» (Philip) Zelikow told a crowd at the University of Virginia on Sep. 10, 2002, speaking on a panel of foreign policy experts assessing the impact of 9/11 and the future of the war on the al-Qaeda terrorist organisation. [47][48]
🛑 *During the very same month in September of 2002, when he acknowledged that Israel’s safety was paramount and that Iraq was no threat to the US, he was also pushing for a preemptive strike against this non threat!
Michael Chertoff
▪️Chertoff was appointed by Bush to head the criminal division of the Department of Justice, serving from 2001 to 2003.
▪️He oversaw the 9/11 investigation.
▪️Chertoff supervised the round-up of 750 Arabs and other Muslims. Treated as suspected terrorist sympathizers or material witnesses, the “suspects” were held without bond for as long as three months, often in solitary confinement, despite having never been charged with any crime. Eventually, most were released or deported after secret tribunals.
▪️Chertoff obstructed access by the post-9/11 detainees to lawyers, reasoning that they “could be questioned without lawyers present because they were not being charged with any crime.”
▪️Not one of the almost exclusively Muslim “detainees” was indicted for terrorism-related crimes. Chertoff, who also coordinated the aggressive questioning of more than 5,000 Arab Americans immediately after the 9/11 attacks, remains unapologetic and continues to argue that the “war on terrorism justifies the government’s right to hold suspects indefinitely without counsel as possible “enemy combatants.”
▪️But the Israeli suspects who there actually was evidence against were bustled out of the US under his watch.
▪️Chertoff is the co-author, along with Viet Dinh, of the USA PATRIOT Act , signed into law October 26, 2001.
▪️The 800 pages of draconian laws that made up the Patriot Act, were submitted to Congress by the Bush Administration on September 24th, just 13 days after the attack. Which means that they were written pre 9/11.
▪️Dinh was also close to zionist news magnate, Rupert Murdoch. He was a godfather to one of his grandchildren. (Wiki)
▪️Chertoff’s father was Rabbi Gershon Baruch Chertoff (1915–96), a Talmud scholar and the former leader of the Congregation B’nai Israel in Elizabeth, New Jersey. (Wiki)
▪️His mother is Livia Chertoff (née Eisen), a zionist Jew who moved to Palestine from Poland and the first flight attendant for El Al. She was a Mossad agent involved in operation “Magic Carpet” which involved flying Yemenese Jews to Palestine.
▪️*Passenger manifest document from El Al flight LY207/17 on 18 August 1955 indicates that he traveled from Israel to New York with his parents when he was aged three (that is, he is also an Israeli citizen). [49]
🛑 *So, just seven years after these dedicated zionists saw their “dream” come true, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, they upped sticks and went to live in the US. As did many more zionists originally based in Palestine at that time. For what reason other than the benefit of Israel?
▪️Much of the 911 cover up which the MSM just repeated was done by Popular Mechanics a (garbage government loyalist) magazine whose editor was B. Chertoff, Michael Chertoff’s cousin.
▪️In 2015 former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak invested in Reporty Homeland Security, established in 2014, becoming a major shareholder. Reporty changed its name to Carbyne. Jeffrey Epstein financed a considerable part of the investment, thus becoming a partner in the project. [50]
▪️Michael Chertoff sits on the “advisory board” of Carbyne.
▪️The company’s executive team are all former members of different branches of Israeli intelligence, including the elite military intelligence unit, Unit 8200, that is often likened to Israel’s equivalent of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). [51]
Alvin K. Hellerstein
▪️Alvin K. Hellerstein is the judge who handled all 9-11 litigation. His son, Joseph Z. Hellerstein, is an Israeli lawyer who emigrated to Israel in 2001. His son works for Amit, Pollak & Matalon. And lives on a Jewish settlement on the West Bank.
▪️This is of crucial importance because one of the key defendants in the 9-11 wrongful death tort litigation process is the Mossad-controlled airport security firm named International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS) N.V., which is the owner of Huntleigh U.S.A., the passenger screening company that checked the passengers that boarded the aircraft at the key airports on 9-11.
▪️The Israeli-owned ICTS is one of the aviation security defendants responsible for the 9-11 terror attacks.
▪️Hellerstein has prevented a trial and effectively blocked any discovery that would reveal what really happened on 9-11.
▪️Hellerstein has a clear conflict of interest in the 9-11 tort litigation because his son is a lawyer with Amit, Pollak & Matalon, the law firm that works for and is closely connected with Cukierman & Company, the parent company of ICTS. [52]
Kenneth R. Feinberg
▪️Kenneth R. Feinberg was the special master of the federally-funded Victims’ Compensation Fund. He single-handedly administered the $7 billion fund that paid out U.S. taxpayer money to some 97 percent of the families who could have otherwise used the courts to sue to recover tort damages for monetary loss and pain and suffering.
▪️Those who accepted the money signed away their right to litigate against the government, the airlines or the security companies. This federally funded pay-off to the families effectively prevented the possibility for nearly every relative to obtain justice or truth through the legal process, which would have brought legal discovery of facts and events of 9-11.
▪️The Kenneth Feinberg Group is listed as one of the top ten supporters of the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies for 2004-2005. The Jerusalem Institute is an Israel-based Zionist organization that supports the building of the illegal separation wall across Palestine.
▪️The Feinberg Group also lists as its clients major insurance and re-insurance companies such as Lloyd’s of London. These are the companies who stood to lose billions of dollars if 9-11 victims’ lawsuits had gone forward.
▪️Feinberg was appointed special master by then Attorney General John Ashcroft. Ashcroft, a dedicated Christian Zionist and supporter of such groups as Stand for Israel, is today working as a lobbyist for Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), which hired the former U.S. Attorney General to help secure the U.S. government’s approval to sell an Israeli weapons system to the South Korean Air Force.
▪️The Israelis hired Ashcroft to improve their chances against an American-made system built by Chicago-based Boeing Co.
▪️Ashcroft, who was born in Chicago, is the former head of the Dept. of Justice, where his Israeli-American assistant, Michael Chertoff, directed the FBI non-investigation of the events of 9-11. Ashcroft is now being paid (off) by the state of Israel to work against the interests of an American company – and the United States [53][54]
A summary:
🛑 The DEA had uncovered an Israeli spy operation (one of many) in the US which had begun in early 2000.
🛑 The alleged al-Qaeda hijacker ringleaders began to appear on the radar at the same time and in the exact same areas.
🛑 The FBI is claimed to have told the French secret service that (at least) four of the alleged hijackers were being watched by these spies.
🛑 None of this information was (apparently) passed on to US authorities before 9/11. So, what was the point of this surveillance? For the good of the US? They were spying on the US on an industrial scale too! And let’s not forget that al Qaeda’s command was basically controlled by the US through Saudi proxies. Nor that al Qaeda has never attacked Israel or it’s interests around the world.
🛑 The report in to Mossad activities in the US was written by the DEA, not the FBI. It was purely accidental that this came to the public’s attention. And when it did, the FBI buried it.
🛑 Whatever fairy tale Mossad (and probably the CIA) came up with to cover for this exposure, Mossad was in proximity to these characters for months, if not years. And the official “intelligence report” allegedly given by Mossad to the US a couple of months before 9/11 was a vague claim that “200 terrorists” were reportedly planning “something” in the US and that they were partially sponsored by Iraq! Remember that their spies were supposedly living among the alleged perpetrators for months before this garbage claim was provided.
🛑 If you’ve read the previous two pieces in this series, the total infiltration of US communications outlined in this piece should come as no surprise. What should ring alarm bells is that an entity with a track record of spying, theft and infiltration wherever the opportunity arose, should be given yet more opportunities to spy on US intelligence services themselves to see what they see in real time! They knew it would happen, but did it anyway. Why?
🛑 Was the work of surveillance and/or babysitting these people – if they weren’t partially or wholly compromised themselves – being “franchised” out by forces within US intel? A spy ring within a spy ring?Compartmentalized so that “plausible deniability” could be used? In the end, it was the line that was taken.
🛑 The DEA report put a spanner in the works. As did the UMS spies being caught celebrating the first attack of 9/11. Along with the Odigo warnings, it showed that Mossad knew the exact time and place of the first attack.
🛑 But was there simply “prior knowledge”? This in itself is bad enough, but the UMS employees being stopped on 3 consecutive days, including the day before 9/11, late at night, at what was to become the Shankesville site makes for a completely different conclusion. Remember, no “intel” or “surveillance” explains how they knew the Flight 93 narrative in advance – that passengers would rebel and the plane would crash. Again, the Israelis stopped in the area late at night the day before 9/11, lied about certain important details and the UMS owner of the Mossad operation even threw them under the bus by claiming that they shouldn’t have been there.
🛑 Four Israelis at yet another furniture removal company known to at least one of the UMS employees, moved one of the alleged hijackers in to his house!
🛑 One alleged hijacker ringleader, Ziad Jarrah, was the cousin of an Israeli informant of 25 years. He was shown to have been impersonated and presented as an “al Qaeda radical” (at least at one point in the FBI timeline). The same was done with Mohammad Atta. Both are on “martyrdom” videos laughing. One video even had the sound removed.
🛑 ”Found” at the Flight 93 crash site, we have the supposed passport which looks nothing like the real Ziad Jarrah, and a document (that withstood the explosive fireball) connecting him to a Palestinian extremist of the 1980s.
🛑 We have a van with two Israelis owned by a Mossad espionage front in the area where this “al Qaeda radical” apparently crashed an aircraft in to the ground after an alleged fight back by passengers (Mossad operatives repeatedly being in this vicinity raises alarm bells – unless this scenario is properly investigated, Israel’s role in 9/11 goes well beyond “prior knowledge”).
🛑 And a low flying drone (to avoid radar) seen by a witness who claimed it flew over her van just before the explosion.
Nothing to see here!
🛑 No amount of wordplay, denial or accusations of (weaponized) antisemitism will deter me in accusing Larry Silverstein and members of his family of knowing that the WTC was going to be attacked that morning.
🛑 Nor will the actions of Mossad asset company Zim Shipping in losing millions by moving out of the WTC before 9/11. If the likes of Silverstein knew and Odigo messaging service knew, so did they. No doubt.
🛑 The security for the entire WTC complex was run by Kroll Associates, who had close connections to not only Israeli intelligence, but the Israeli government. The owner was involved in the campaign to remove Saddam Hussein in Iraq during the 1990s, and in making money there through mercenaries after Hussein was removed. The U.S. proconsul who ran occupied Iraq until the end of June 2004, Lewis «Jerry» Bremer was a key man in Kroll’s business.
🛑 A neocon and Israelophile was the one who declared “trillions” being “missing” from Pentagon accounts the day before 9/11. On 9/11 itself the majority of victims in the Pentagon itself were accountants. The alleged hijackers apparently chose the most complicated route to “take out” this side of the building.
🛑 Persons with direct connections to Israeli intelligence and military oversaw cyber-security for the U.S. government and military computers prior to and after 9-11. “Ethical hackers” who “test” security systems.
One of them reportedly helped design the Pentagon’s computer security architecture.
The majority of cameras where Flight 77 allegedly hit the Pentagon were turned off or removed for renovation work. That’s handy.
🛑 Defense Protective Service (DPS), which guards the Pentagon, arrested three people at the Pentagon who were dressed as firefighters, but were not firefighters. They had been there from the day before not long after the explosions and fire. Fake military personnel were also there, one even interfering with the crime scene. One DPS officer reported evidence being stolen by “military” people. No further details were given as to their identities or the reason for their intrusion.
🛑 Israeli intelligence was connected to security in setting up FAA protocols and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Space and Naval Warfare Command.
🛑 Huntleigh, in charge of airport security where alleged hijackers passed through, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of an Israeli company (ICTS) headed by men with clear ties to Israel’s military intelligence agency, Mossad.
One was a former Likud treasurer and IDF president convicted of fraud and falsifying documents in the 90s.
🛑 If this company had clear ties to Israeli intelligence, how did alleged terrorists on the radar of fellow spies in the US not raise red flags when their tickets were booked in their own names?
🛑 The biggest tell in the Anthrax episode of this saga, imposed on the US public which was already traumatized, was Jerome Hauer, who worked for Kroll Associates, a company with close ties to the Israeli military, and his supplying of the Cipro antidote to government officials before the Anthrax was even in the mail.
🛑 The deadliest anthrax was US military manufactured.
🛑 Mossad threw their hat in the ring by LYING about alleged hijacker ringleader Mohammad Atta being handed anthrax by an Iraqi intelligence officer in JUNE. When was this LIE originally produced?
🛑 During the same month that Atta supposedly received anthrax, the same characters brought to the forefront for the Iraqi (bs) narrative in the days, weeks and years following 9/11 – former CIA director and Israelophile neocon James Woolsey, New York Times reporter and neocon warmonger with the MSM, Judith Miller, and the person dishing out Cipro before the attacks to the neocon war cabinet in Bush’s administration, Jerome Hauer. They were involved in a mock chemical weapon exercise along with MSM. It mirrored exactly the anthrax false flag, including the blame being placed on Iraq with al Qaeda connections.
🛑 The only politicians to receive the deadliest anthrax in the post were two who were trying to halt the fascist Patriot Act.
🛑 The alleged true source of the anthrax was a Christian zionist. Whether it was him or not, it was clear that he couldn’t have done it alone. And as mentioned, pockets of the military establishment stole or created it.
🛑 The fate of the response to 9/11, the wars that followed, the draconian laws introduced, the sham “investigation”, the (non) prosecution on behalf of victim families, and the protection of all Israeli spies rounded up, were in the hands of neocons and zionists, many with direct connections to Israel.
If you are convinced that 9/11 was an “inside job”, Israel was “inside” everything. At every site involved. While Mossad ghouls couldn’t contain themselves and had to see the destruction coming that day, others closely connected to Israel weren’t anywhere near the areas attacked because they’d been pre-warned. Some made a fortune. And while rescue workers were choking on cancerous dust and picking bones and flesh from smouldering rubble, the cheerleaders for war on Israel’s “enemy” Iraq were in full swing.
If you believe the official story, or believe the complete infiltration by Israel in to the core of the US structure from top to bottom is normal…you’re not a “skeptic”. You’re a government loyalist.
🛑1984 — Declassified FBI files reveal a long running espionage and theft of government documents investigation targeting the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the Israeli embassy in Washington DC during the 1984 US-Israel Free Trade Area negotiations. [1]
▪️The FBI uncovered allegations that an agent of the Israeli intelligence services worked undercover as a member of AIPAC’s staff.
▪️A quarter century after the tainted negotiations led to passage of US-Israel preferential trade pact, it remains the most unfavorable of all US bilateral trade agreements, producing chronic deficits, lack of US market access to Israel and ongoing theft of US intellectual property. [2]
▪️Update: The US Trade Representative was ordered by the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP) to declassify and release most of the stolen trade document.*Parts of it remain too sensitive to divulge. [3][4]
*Note: “Too sensitive” even though what was disclosed was shockingly bad? Think about what they’re actually hiding.
▪️American industries were shocked when the FBI began investigating AIPAC in 1984 for obtaining and distributing the 300 page report containing their trade secrets titled «Probable Economic Effect of Providing Duty Free Treatment for U.S. Imports from Israel, Investigation No. 332-180″in the midst of the negotiations.
▪️The ITC later confirmed that the Israeli government also obtained the still-classified report. The document contains business confidential trade secrets, market share, inventory, delivery costs, internal production costs and other highly sensitive data US industries submitted under strict confidence to urge the best possible outcome for US businesses.
▪️Since the agreement was signed, *US trade with Israel swung from surplus to a $71 billion cumulative deficit in 2008—an anomaly among all other US bilateral agreements. [1]
* Note: That is, while the US grants billions every year to Israel, they stole over $71 billion!
The “unauthorized transfers” caper
🛑 A March 1992 report by State Department inspector general Sherman Funk, «Report of Audit: Department of State Defense Trade Controls«, states that alleged Israeli violations of US laws and regulations «cited and supported by reliable intelligence information show a systematic and growing pattern of unauthorized transfers … dating back to about 1983».
▪️In 1992, when he was serving as undersecretary of defense for policy, Pentagon officials looking into the unauthorized export of classified technology to China, found that (neocon) *Paul Wolfowitz’s office was promoting Israel’s export of advanced air-to-air missiles to Beijing in violation of a written agreement with Washington on arms re-sales. [5]
▪️The Bush administration is «looking into» an intelligence report that Israel may have secretly supplied China with Patriot missile technology acquired from the United States, a senior administration official said.
▪️A recent Rand Corp. study identified Israel as *»China’s leading foreign supplier of advanced technology,» citing reports that Israel has helped the Chinese develop air-to-air missiles, tank armor, missile-guidance systems, and a new combat aircraft.
▪️*Another U.S. official said the Israelis «have a bad track record» on arms transfers, noting they have sold weapons containing U.S.-supplied parts to Taiwan, Chile, South Africa, and China. He said a previous sale to China involved «small» missiles but declined to provide details or give the date. [6]

Note: *Neoconservatives were supposedly “anticommunist”. They were prepared to expose themselves and their hypocrisy for the benefit of Israel. And even when they were exposed, nothing ever happened to them!
No cloak and dagger needed here
🛑 (A more detailed account can be read in Part One) Israeli spy Stephen Bryen would flit about FOUR US administrations (Reagan to Bush Jr.) with other Israeli assets who had been around for decades before. He was never charged, but instead would at times be promoted to “sensitive” areas and continually be caught trying to advance Israeli interests. [7]
🛑 From 1984-1985, Jonathan Pollard would be involved in “the largest physical compromise of United States classified information in the 20th century,”. For Israel. Under the sponsorship of Mossad chief Rafael Eitan.
(A Spy Mystery:Why Did Clinton Deny Israeli Plea?, New York Times, October 27 1998)
🛑 Mossad chief Rafael Eitan steals software in the US called “PROMIS” that will later have a “back door” introduced which will be used to spy on governments. [8]
[Note: Eitan was one of the main known conspirators in stealing uranium from the US for Israel’s nuclear weapons]
▪️Eitan recruits Mossad and KGB spy Robert Maxwell to sell the manipulated software globally. The US nuclear industry will become one of their targets. They would also go on to sell the “back door” technology itself to China. [9]
▪️FBI opens an investigation in to Robert Maxwell’s attempts to sell an Israeli manipulated version of stolen software “PROMIS”, to spy on Sandia National Laboratories — one of three National Nuclear Security Administration research and development laboratories in the United States. [10]
(FOIA sourced documents attained by Bill Hamilton who was the original owner of the stolen software.)
🛑 In 1992, President of AIPAC, David Steiner, was recorded boasting about “negotiating” with then candidate Bill Clinton, about who was to be Secretary of State and that he had “cut a deal” with President Bush’s chief of staff Charles Baker for more aid to Israel.
(Washington Times, 1992)
▪️ “I (journalist Jeffrey Goldberg) asked Rosen (AIPAC’s Director of Foreign Policy) if AIPAC suffered a loss of influence after the Steiner affair….he pushed a napkin across the table. “You see this napkin?” he said. “In twenty-four hours, we could have the signatures of seventy senators on this napkin.” [11]
▪️Rosen also claimed: “I also work with a think tank, the Washington Institute. I have Michael Mandelbaum and Martin Indyk being foreign policy advisers. Steve Speigel—we’ve got friends—this is my business.” [12]
▪️Martin Indyk, who also served as Rosen’s deputy, went on to become President Clinton’s Ambassador to Israel. [13]
FBI “hands are tied” (for the past 80 years!?)
🛑 John M. Cole, an FBI spy catcher (who retired in 2004), says that from 1993 to 1995 alone, he had “125 open cases” of Israeli espionage, representing nearly half of all the investigations carried on in his Global Unit, part of the now-defunct National Security division.
▪️In a sharp break with FBI procedures, he was prohibited from notifying field offices when an investigation crept into their jurisdictions.
“No one was supposed to know we were investigating the Israelis,” Cole said.
[John M. Cole, Former Veteran Intelligence Operations Specialist, worked for 18 years in the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division as an Intelligence Operations specialist and counterespionage manager.]
▪️Here is the public response from John Cole after the publication of The American Conservative magazine’s cover story:
“I read the recent cover story by The American Conservative magazine. I applaud their courage in publishing this significant interview.”
(Congressional Quarterly, Jeff Stein, November 2006)
🛑 A March 16, 1993 memo launched the ADL espionage investigation from the FBI’s Los Angeles office. The FBI discovered «unidentified individuals at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in possession of [Federal] Bureau [of Investigation] classified information» along with «confidential police reports and files belonging to the San Francisco Police Department» after the ADL’s Los Angeles and San Francisco offices were raided and searched under warrant.
▪️March 22, 1994 the FBI’s Los Angeles office indicated it was closing the ADL espionage investigation—apparently without ever having interviewed David Lehrer, ADL Regional Director who was the prime suspect for acquiring and passing classified FBI files throughout the ADL.
▪️By April, Janet Reno was gushing over the ADL’s latest report on militias and the FBI-ADL uncomfortable «special relationship«—first ordered by J. Edgar Hoover and later renewed by FBI director William Webster—was seemingly back on track. [14]
🛑 A Defense Investigative Service report noted that Israel has great success stealing technology by exploiting the numerous co-production projects that it has with the Pentagon:
«Placing Israeli nationals in key industries … is a technique utilized with great success.”
▪️General Accounting Office (GAO) examination of espionage directed against American defense and security industries, also undertaken in 1996, described how Israeli citizens residing in the US had stolen sensitive technology to manufacture artillery gun tubes, obtained classified plans for a reconnaissance system,and passed sensitive aerospace designs to unauthorized users.
▪️In its report the GAO stated that an Israeli company monitored a Department of Defense telecommunications system to obtain classified information, while other Israeli entities targeted avionics, missile telemetry, aircraft communications, software systems, and advanced materials and coatings used in missile re-entry.
▪️The GAO concluded that Israel“conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally.” [15]

🛑 In March 1997, despite official denials from Israeli officials, the US Office of Naval Intelligence in its unclassified «Worldwide Challenges to Naval Strike Warfare» restated more strongly than it had the previous year its belief that US-derived technology from the canceled Israeli Lavi fighter was being used on China’s new F-10 fighter.
▪️It said, «The design has been undertaken with substantial direct external assistance, primarily from Israel and Russia, with indirect assistance through access to US technologies.» [16]

MEGA and Jeffrey Epstein
🛑 1997 — National Security Agency (NSA) had intercepted a phone conversation between an Israeli official at the embassy in Washington, and Danny Yatom, the head of the Mossad.
▪️The official sought permission from the spy boss to «go to Mega» in order to obtain a copy of a confidential letter that had been sent by then-U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher to Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, concerning U.S. assurances about a recently negotiated agreement for an Israeli military withdrawal from the Hebron area in the West Bank.
(Washington Post May 07, 1997)
▪️Les Wexner (who introduced Mossad blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein in to “high society”), formed with billionaire Charles Bronfman, son of zionist crime syndicate chief Samuel Bronfman, the Study Group, which is more widely known as the “Mega Group”.

▪️In March 1999, British author Gordon Thomas released a book, Gideon’s Spies, which alleged that Israel had blackmailed the Clinton Administration, with the threat to release tapped telephone conversations between the President and Monica Lewinsky, to force Washington to abandon the Mega hunt.
▪️Indeed, in her testimony before independent counsel Kenneth Starr, Lewinsky had reported that the President had warned her, on March 29, 1997, at the height of the Mega hunt, that he suspected the White House telephones were being tapped by agents of an unnamed foreign country.

Wiretapping a nation
🛑 1997 — Los Angeles, a major local, state and federal drug investigation sours. The suspects: “Israeli organized crime” with operations in New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Canada, Israel and Egypt. The allegations: cocaine and ecstasy trafficking, and sophisticated white-collar credit card and computer fraud.
▪️According to classified law enforcement documents – the cops’ beepers, cell phones, even home phones were under surveillance. Some who did get caught admitted to having hundreds of numbers and using them to avoid arrest.
▪️They looked at Amdocs, a publicly traded firm based in Israel. Amdocs generates billing data for virtually every call in America, and they do credit checks.
▪️When investigators checked their own wiretapping system for leaks, they grew concerned about potential vulnerabilities in the computers that intercept, record and store the wiretapped calls. A main contractor is Comverse Infosys, which works closely with the Israeli government, and under a special grant program, is reimbursed for up to 50 percent of its research and development costs by Israel’s Ministry of Industry and Trade.»
(Fox News, Carl Cameron, December 17, 2001)
▪️In 1999, the national security agency, headquartered in northern Maryland, issued what’s called a Top Secret sensitive compartmentalized information report, TS/SCI, warning that records of calls in the United States were getting into foreign hands – in Israel, in particular.
(Fox News Report) [17]
The spy rings, infiltration, abuse of position and theft of not only secrets and military schematics, but of billions of dollars spiraled out of control during the 90s. There was only one constant feature in all of it. Nobody was to be prosecuted. Yes, there were reports and “investigations” but when they got too close to the truth about Israeli scumbaggery (let’s not beat about the bush), they were buried. All of them. With no repercussions whatsoever. In fact, Israel was now turning the screw by introducing blackmail on an industrial scale through the likes of Jeffrey Epstein. Get this…they were attempting to blackmail a president of the United States through wiretaps to release one of their spies. Then would go on to tempt the same gullible perverted president with young girls on a plane owned by another Mossad asset.
After 9/11, the scale of espionage would not only be even further exposed, they would become prime suspects on that day, whether you believe the official story or believe that the entire episode was a false flag.
9/11. Where to begin? Before you look at anything about 9/11, you need to look at the lay of the land. You need to look at the playing field. And to do that, you have to look back decades to see how that landscape was carved out.
A good start would be to read about how various Israeli assets would jump on to the US political bandwagon at the first opportunity under the “think tank” banner, during an upheaval, or riding on the back of whatever reactionary “ism” was popular. They would dig their heels in and invite their friends in to powerful or influential positions. They would ride these merry go rounds to death.
Start with the inauguration of zionist president LB Johnson after the assassination of JFK. [1]
Next was the Nixon/Kissinger administration under which decades of grooming (or blackmail/bribing) of influential individuals lead to the Israeli nuclear weapon program being allowed to be exempt from the NPT treaty. This would continue unhindered even though Kissinger himself is on record as outlining the overwhelming negative repercussions of Israel having nukes. He even said that they were the most likely to use them! [2]
But he went ahead with his and Israel’s “ambiguity” narrative which has survived to this day.
Coupled with the zionist strategy of having “advisers” aka Israeli assets close to a string to US presidents (going back a century) was the establishment of an Israeli spy network at lower but influential levels of government. Particularly in foreign policy departments.
The Neocons
The neoconservative movement was a US hawkish movement of the seventies which proclaimed to be “anticommunist”. And whose members were radical Israelophiles. They scrambled for position during the Reagan era and were at their peak during the Bush Jr. administration.
One of the founders was Norman Podhoretz.
“American support for Israel depended upon continued American involvement in international affairs—from which it followed that an American withdrawal into the kind of isolationist mood [. . .] that now looked as though it might soon prevail again, represented a direct threat to the security of Israel.” (Breaking Ranks, A political memoir, Norman Podhoretz, 1979, p. 336)
— Norman Podhoretz was a founder of the neoconservative movement, a zionist and a PNAC signatory (1997)
That is, the US needed to be involved in perpetual war for Israel to survive.
Richard Perle
Richard Perle, an aide to Senator Henry Jackson, was overheard discussing classified information with someone at the Israeli embassy in 1970. Information that had been supplied to him by someone on the National Security Council staff.
[Note: Henry Kissinger was Secretary of State]
The NSC member involved was Helmut Sonnenfeld who was “known from previous wiretaps to have close ties to the Israelis as well as to Perle. Sonnenfeldt, a former State Department intelligence official, had been repeatedly investigated by the FBI for other suspected leaks early in his career.” [3][4]
Alarm bells, surely? No. Sonnenfeld was promoted while Perle continued to pull strings.
Within days of the 1968 Nixon election, Henry Kissinger had picked Sonnenfeld to serve as a senior staff member on the National Security Council staff (1969–1974).
Despite the investigation (which went nowhere), in 1974, Sonnenfeld was appointed Counselor of the U.S. Department of State, where he served from 1974, continuing after Nixon’s resignation for the duration of the Ford administration.
During his time in the National Security Council and in the State Department, he was a close assistant and adviser of Kissinger and became known as «Kissinger’s Kissinger«. (Wiki)
Wolfowitz, Cheney and Feith
Among the earliest members of neoconservatism were Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Douglas Feith. They all hung on to the coattails of Senator “Scoop” Jackson who had run for president twice in the early seventies.
“When the Cold War calmed down after America evacuated its troops from Vietnam in 1973, and the CIA produced reassuring analyses of the USSR’s military capabilities and ambitions, Rumsfeld (as Secretary of Defense) and Cheney (as Chief of Staff) persuaded president Gerald Ford to appoint an independent committee, known as Team B, to revise upward the CIA estimates of the Soviet threat, and reactivate a war attitude in public opinion, Congress, and Administration.”
Team B was chaired by zionist Richard Pipes and co-chaired by Paul Wolfowitz (also on the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency), both were “introduced” by Richard Perle.
(Killing Detente: The Right Attacks the CIA: The Right Attacks the CIA, October 3, 2006)
[Note: Perle became Reagan’s assistant secretary of defence in 1981.
He was a member of The Pentagon’s Defence Policy Board in from 1987 and became chairman in 2001 (to 2003) (Wiki)
That is, this Israeli asset was at the heart of the Pentagon for 22 years.
Just two months after 9/11 (November), he founded Trireme Partners LLP which was a company that invested in technology, goods, and services related to Homeland Security (Wiki)]
This form of “introduction”, that is, jobs for the boys, would produce these cliques of unelected zionists in to positions of influence and power for decades.
The big hitters
Max Fisher
Max Fisher was an advisor on “Middle East and Jewish issues”, to every administration from President Eisenhower to President Bush.
(“Max Fisher, 96, Philanthropist and Adviser to Presidents, Dies», New York Times, March 4-2005)
In 1957, in partnership with Tibor Rosenbaum’s (Mossad and Jewish mafia money source) Swiss-Israel Trade Bank [5]. (Max) Fisher bought a controlling interest in Israel’s Paz conglomerate—long owned by the Rothschild family of Europe—which maintained a monopoly over Israeli oil and petrochemical interests.
(J. J. Goldberg. Jewish Power: Inside the American Jewish Establishment. (Reading, Massachusetts: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., 1996), pp. 169-170.)
From the early sixties, Gerald Ford had been largely backed, politically and financially, by Israeli asset Max Fisher. Just after Ford assumed the presidency in 1974—in the wake of the Watergate scandal—Fisher was described as one of «the mystery men behind Gerald Ford» who would «tell the president what to do and when to do it.»
(The National Police Gazette, December 1974.)
Here’s how Gerald Ford described Fisher in his own memoirs:
Fisher, he said, was «a prominent Detroit businessman who was chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel. Max was a lifelong Republican and a close friend. He had served as an unofficial ambassador between the United states and Israel for years, and his contacts at the highest levels of both governments had often helped us bridge over misunderstandings.”
(Gerald R. Ford. A Time to Heal: The Autobiography of Gerald R. Ford. p. 248.)
[Note: In 1968 Congress increased aid to Israel by 450 percent. Military aid jumps from $7 million in 1967 to $25 million in 1968. US agrees to sell Israel 50 Phantom fighter bombers.
Military aid increases from $140 million in 1968-1970 to $1.15 billion in 1971-1973. And in 1973 after the Yom Kippur War, Congress passes $2.2 billion in emergency financial aid, and increases military aid 800 percent. Remember, this was under the watch of Johnson, Nixon and Ford. Or should I say Johnson’s zionist entourage, Kissinger and Max Fisher. [6] ]
Max Kampelman
Another founding member of neoconservatism was Max Kampelman. [7]
After the assassination of JFK in 1963, LB Johnson chose as his running mate Hubert H. Humphrey, who was financed in his early days by the zionist crime syndicate. Harry and Yiddy Bloom were partners with Israeli asset Meyer Lansky, along with Humphrey’s chief advisor, Max Kampelman, a top figure in the Israeli lobby in Washington.
«Humphrey was first catapulted into public office as Mayor of Minneapolis in 1945 via the machinations and campaign slush funds raised by the notorious Kid Cann, king of the Minneapolis underworld.
«Cann, whose real name was Isadore Blumenfeld, along with his brothers (who were known by their aliases, Harry and Yiddy Bloom) were partners with Meyer Lansky in the ownership of many of the plush resorts in Miami, along with Humphrey’s chief advisor, Max Kampelman, a top figure in the Israeli lobby in Washington.»
«Blumenfeld and Lansky were partners in the syndicate that owned the Sands and Fremont Hotels gambling operations in Las Vegas. When Humphrey and his top aides are in Miami, they enjoyed free accommodations at the syndicate’s plush hotels.»
(Washington Observer, September 15, 1968.)
Humphrey’s chief adviser, Max Kampelman went into private law practice, and Golda Meir, the Israeli prime minister, was among his clients [8]
Max Kampelman would go on to be the very public face of aggressive Israeli lobbyists like JINSA which was aimed at “military” cooperation between Israel and the US. And he was to ally himself with the neoconservatives of the 70s and 80s [9].
John Lehman
John Lehman was a Christian zionist and an aggressive, self serving militarist.
He served on the National Security Council alongside Helmut Sonnenfeld under Henry Kissinger in the early seventies.
Around this time, he had to have come in to the orbit of Israeli asset, Richard Perle [10]
That Lehman and Perle ran in the same circles was shown a few years later in 1976-1977 when Lehman formed the Abington Corporation, a lobbying firm that employed Richard Perle. Abington Corporation received subcontracts from large defense contractors such as Northrop Corporation, Boeing, and TRW.
(Philip H. Burch, Reagan, Bush, and Right-Wing Politics: Elites, Think Tanks, Power, and Policy (Greenwich, CT: JAI Press, 1997), pp. 19, 123, 72-73; Jeff Gerth, “Aide Urged Pentagon to Consider Weapons Made by Former Client,” New York Times, April 17, 1983.)
They managed the portfolio of Israeli arms dealers Shlomo Zabludowicz and his son Chaim, who paid Ablington $10,000 month. A scandal arose when those payments continued after both Lehman and Perle joined the Reagan Department of Defense and while Perle was working to persuade the Pentagon to buy arms from companies linked to Zabludowicz [11]
Shortly after assuming that post, Perle wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Army urging evaluation and purchase of 155 mm. shells manufactured by Soltam, Ltd. After leaving the ISP job in 1987, he worked for Soltam (Wiki)
Lehman was Secretary of the Navy from 1981-1987. During the period that Israeli spy Jonathon Pollard was placed in Naval Intelligence.
In 1989, Lehman attended Israeli spy, Robert Maxwell’s yacht party. Also attended by Ghislaine Maxwell, provider of young girls to be used as blackmail bait by Israeli asset, Jeffrey Epstein [12]
[Note: Lehman was a PNAC signatory of a letter to George Bush on September 20, 2001, calling for the US to attack Iraq, whether they found evidence of their involvement in 9/11 or not, and a crackdown on Hezbollah and Palestinians – all Israeli “enemies” who had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11.
He was a member of the National Security Advisory Council of the Center for Security Policy (CSP), which had an Israel-centric view of Middle East “peace”..” [13]
According to whistleblower Lt. Col Karen Kwiatkowski, his brother Chris was involved in the zionist run Office of Special Plans which manipulated and invented evidence against Iraq to push the US to war with Iraq [14] This office was run by neoconservative zionists such as Douglas Feith.
He was a member of the 9/11 Commission 2003-2004. Obvious choice, no?]
More jobs for the boys
Stephen Bryen
In April of 1979, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Robert Keuch recommended in writing that Stephen Bryen, then a staff member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, undergo a grand jury hearing to establish the basis for a prosecution for espionage. John Davitt, then Chief of the Justice Department’s Internal Security Division, concurred.
Bryen was overheard – by a witness who passed a polygraph test – offering classified documents to Washington’s Mossad chief, Zvi Rafiah, in the presence of the director of AIPAC. Bryen refused a polygraph test.
The investigation also learned that he has been meeting with Zvi Rafiah “two or three times a week.”
The FBI ultimately assembled “a good circumstantial case” that Rafiah “routinely issued orders to Bryen” and will recommend that the case be brought before an investigative grand jury for espionage.
Instead, the case will be closed.
The Bureau also had testimony from a second person, a staff member of the Foreign Relations Committee, that she had witnessed Bryen in his Senate office with Rafiah, discussing classified documents that were spread out on a table in front of an open safe in which the documents were supposed to be secured…Bryen’s fingerprints were found on classified documents he’d stated in writing to the FBI he’d never had in his possession….the ones he’d allegedly offered to Rafiah.
Nevertheless, following the refusal of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to grant access by Justice Department officials to files which were key to the investigation, Keuch’s recommendation for a grand jury hearing, and ultimately the investigation itself, were shut down.
This decision was taken by Philip Heymann, Chief of Justice’s Criminal Division..[who] was a former schoolmate and fellow U.S. Supreme Court Clerk of Bryen’s attorney, Nathan Lewin [15]
[Note: Heymann also joined the campaign to free Israeli spy, Jonathan Pollard [16]
Bryen was asked to resign from his Foreign Relations Committee post shortly before the investigation was concluded in late 1979. For the following year and a half, he served as Executive Director of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), and provided consulting services to AIPAC.
In 1981, Israeli spy Stephen Bryen became a consultant for Richard Perle, the Reagan administration assistant secretary of defense-designate. After Perle was confirmed by the Senate, Bryen was named deputy assistant secretary of defense in charge of regulating the transfer of U.S. military technology to foreign countries [17][18][19]
Bryen had a role in choosing not only what U.S. weaponry Israel would be allowed to purchase, but also what sensitive U.S. military technology would be made available to Israel for use in its own burgeoning arms industry.
He received both Top Secret-SCI (sensitive compartmented information) and Top Secret-“NATO/COSMIC” clearances [20]
Douglas Feith
In 1982, Likudite zionist (Netanyahu’s party) Douglas Feith (whose father was a former Betar member) was transferred from the NSC staff to the Pentagon to work as special counsel for Richard Perle, who was then serving as assistant secretary to the United States Secretary of Defense [21]
[Note: Feith headed reconstruction in Iraq. Effectively in command, with Paul Wolfowitz, of the War Department on 9-11; Undersecretary of War for Policy
Douglas Feith is close to Israel’s Likud party, and in 1996, he, Richard Perle, David Wurmser, Meyrav Wurmser and others prepared a position paper for Benjamin Netanyahu, «A Clean Break,» that outlined a strategy for extracting Israel from its strategic dilemma: the invasion of Iraq, followed by the elimination of Syria, and the neutralization of Iran, topped their agenda. What they didn’t say in the policy paper was that the United States would be doing their dirty work for them [22] ]
Michael Ledeen
In 1983, on the recommendation of Richard Perle, Michael Ledeen was hired at the Department of Defense as a consultant on terrorism. Wolfowitz as head of the State Department Policy Planning Staff hired Michael Ledeen as a Special Advisor.
His immediate supervisor was the Principle Assistant Secretary for International Security Affairs, Noel Koch.
Early in their work together, Koch noticed with concern Ledeen’s habit of stopping by in his (Koch’s) outer office to read classified materials.
When the two of them took a trip to Italy, Koch learned from the CIA station there that when Ledeen had lived in Rome previously, as correspondent for The New Republic, he’d been carried in Agency files as an agent of influence of a foreign government: Israel.
Some time after their return from the trip, Ledeen approached his boss with a request for his assistance in obtaining two highly classified CIA reports which he said were held by the FBI. He’d hand written on a piece of paper the identifying “alpha numeric designators”.
These identifiers were as highly classified as the reports themselves….which raised in Koch’s mind the question of who had provided them to Ledeen if he hadn’t the clearances to obtain them himself. Koch immediately told his executive assistant that Ledeen was to have no further access to classified materials in the office, and Ledeen just ceased coming to “work”.
In early 1986…Koch learned that Ledeen had joined NSC as a consultant, and..arranged to be interviewed by two FBI agents on the matter…Koch was told that it was only Soviet military intelligence penetration that interested the Bureau. The follow-on interviews that were promised by the agents just never occurred.
Koch thought this strange, coming as it did just months after the arrest of Naval intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard on charges of espionage for Israel.
Frustrated, Koch wrote up in detail the entire saga of Ledeen’s DOD consultancy, and sent it to the Office of Senator Charles Grassley, then a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which had oversight responsibility for, inter alia, the FBI.
Other officials connected to the Iran-Contra scandal didn’t trust Ledeen either:
— NSC staffers wanted Ledeen’s role in the affair to be limited.
— Secretary of State George Shultz rejected Ledeen’s proposed relationship and trust of Israel re Iran.
— His security clearance was downgraded from Top Secret-SCI to Secret.
— Oliver North wanted him to take «periodic polygraph tests»
In June, 1987 during the Iran-Contra hearings, Noel Koch testified that…Ledeen had negotiated for the sale to the Israeli Government of basic TOW missiles was $2,500 each when the lowest previous price to Israel was $6,800 per unit [20]
Despite all of the above, Ledeen continued rubbing shoulders with US government bodies for decades. Even contributing to the disinformation which lead to the 2003 Iraq war, such as, the “yellowcake” lie.
In 2000, Italian intelligence (SISMI) set in motion the “Niger forgeries” in Nigeria which were fake correspondence between Nigeria and Iraq over the sale of uranium “yellowcake” to Saddam Hussein. The “source” was an Italian magazine “Panorama”. Which had one Michael Ledeen on its payroll.
The documents had first surfaced in Italy, and then in July, 2005.
The Italian Parliament released a report naming four men as the likely forgers of the documents. Among them, Michael Ledeen.
Shortly before the forged documents surfaced in Italy, Ledeen paid a visit to the head of Italy’s secret service, SISMI.
Ledeen’s entourage included Larry Franklin, since exposed as a spy for Israel operating in the Pentagon Office of Special Plans (Ledeen was hired by Douglas Feith to start up this neocon disinformation workshop).
Larry Franklin has confessed to handing classified information to AIPAC, the Israeli lobby [23][24]
How do people with such checkered histories repeatedly get in to highly classified positions? Perle, Bryen, Wolfowitz, Ledeen and Feith?
“Perle in 1981 as DOD Assistant Secretary for International Security Policy (ISP) hired Bryen as his Deputy. That same year, Wolfowitz as head of the State Department Policy Planning Staff hired Ledeen as a Special Advisor.
In 2001 Douglas Feith as DOD Under Secretary for Policy hired, or approved the hiring of Ledeen as a consultant for the Office of Special Plans.
In 1982, Perle hired Feith in ISP as his Special Counsel, and then as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Negotiations Policy.
In 2001, DOD Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz helped Feith obtain his appointment as Undersecretary for Policy. Feith then appointed Perle as Chairman of the Defense Policy Board.
Every appointment/hiring listed above involved classified work for which high-level security clearances and associated background checks by the FBI were required. When the level of the clearance is not above generic Top Secret, however, the results of that background check are only seen by the hiring authority. And in the event, if the appointee were Bryen or Ledeen and the hiring authority were Perle, Wolfowitz or Feith, the appointee(s) need not have worried about the findings of the background check.
In the case of Perle hiring Bryen as his deputy in 1981, for instance, documents released in 1983 under the Freedom of Information Act indicate that the Department provided extraordinarily high clearances for Bryen without having reviewed more than a small portion of his 1978-79 FBI investigation file.” [20]
These people were cleared at the highest levels to spy for Israel even when it wasn’t in the interests of the US on a clandestine level.
What other conclusion can be drawn?
Chief stooge, Ronald Reagan
What about the president that these assets arrogantly flourished under during the 80s?
As far back as the 1940s, Music Corporation America (MCA) mogul Lew Wasserman took Ronald Reagan under his wing, first as a (bad) actor, then as long term president of the Screen Actors Guild.
In 1965 Wasserman helped finance his election campaign and he became governor of California.
Among Wasserman’s friends included mob lawyer Sidney Korshak, and gangster Moe Dalitz–along with Presidents Johnson and Clinton.
MCA would make Reagan a millionaire through crooked real estate deals. Wasserman would accompany Reagan up to and through his presidency. Reagan would also protect MCA when the heat was on when “mafia link” investigations began in the early 80s.
LEW WASSERMAN was a regular donor to zionist causes. Including throwing his weight around Hollywood demanding donations for Israel from others in the film industry.
In sum, Reagan was groomed and owned by a zionist mobster throughout his career. That is an undeniable fact. [25][26][27][28][29]
.
It was during the Reagan era that U.S. economic aid to Israel rose to $1.2 billion annually, and military aid to $1.8 billion annually. In 1985, Congress converted Israel’s military aid entirely to grants and “forgiven” loans, and he rescued the Israeli economy with a $1.5 billion grant. This was during the time that Jonathan Pollard was carrying out the biggest heist of US secrets in its history! [30]
No problem! And the spying got worse in the years that followed.
Threads
What’s been shown here is just one of multiple threads that run through the US political system. US presidents of the twentieth century were at the very least highly influenced by Israel, Mossad, the zionist mafia, or all three. Ronald Reagan was groomed by a zionist gangster for forty years. JFK was surrounded by zionist spies, while the fingerprints of Israel are all over his and Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassination. [31]
LB Johnson (whose own aunt was a zionist – member of the ZOA), who helped smuggle arms to Haganah surrounded himself with zionists.
A “former” Irgun explosives smuggler swanned about the White House and even helped edit his response to the USS Liberty incident, while those who “advised” him were passing highly sensitive information to Israel. [1]
This was the time around which one Hal Sonnenfeld, member of the National Security Council and future right hand man of Kissinger, would be under investigation by the FBI for sharing information with Israel. And who himself would supply one Richard Perle with information for Israel. Absolutely nothing happened to these people. In fact nothing happened to any of the people mentioned in this blog, no matter how obvious and arrogant their actions were.
Under Johnson, military aid to Israel went through the roof. And under him and the incoming Richard Nixon, under Kissinger’s supervision, they both bent over backwards to ensure Israel’s nuclear program was successful. And secret. [32]
On a totally random but relevant note, one of Nixon’s “advisers”, who he described as “his Rabbi” (Baruch Korff) was a man who was involved in the attempted aerial bombing of London for the “zionist cause”! [33]
When Gerald Ford took over from Nixon after his resignation, he, like Reagan, had his own zionist sponsor pulling his strings. This was no ordinary “gangster” this time. It was somebody who was directly involved with sponsoring Mossad and the legal and illegal finances for the “Jewish State”.
Under Kissinger’s and Ford’s watch the next thread of individuals was formed who would scratch each other’s backs (for Israel and their own bank accounts) and ensure jobs for the boys for decades to come. Richard Perle was the linchpin. But when his boys attained positions of power, they would put the same treacherous clique back together again.
When Reagan came to power (Carter, who was critical of Israel, was ousted, but that’s a story for another day), the gloves were off.
What has this got to do with 9/11? Well, apart from showing the political landscape that these people sculpted for themselves, this very tight clique were in crucial positions to push for one of Israel’s primary missions in relation to 9/11. War with Iraq (and the perpetual war the founder of neoconservatism craved for the “survival of Israel”). It was this clique that fed the bloodthirsty mainstream media and warhawks their fake evidence. One of them was even on the 9/11 Commission.
This was no coincidence.
Part Two of this series looks at the decade leading up to 2001 and the increased espionage at all levels. Never more exposed than on 9/11.
