In the book Gideon's Spies, the date of the birth of the mossad is given as march 2 1951,though the mossad website only give march as the inception .
Though mossad’s name is rarely mentioned in the new and when it is, their name is expunged later.
The most obvious example the origin of torture at the infamous Iraqi prison ,Abu Ghraib. This caused a international uproar in in the spring of 2004 when photos and articles about the torture were made public.
In the aftermath United States Department of Defense removed seventeen soldiers and officers from duty, and eleven soldiers were charged with dereliction of duty, maltreatment, aggravated assauly and battery. Between May 2004, and March 2006, these soldiers were convicted in court-marshals, sentenced to military prison, and dishonorably discharge from service. Two soldiers, Specialist Charles Graner and PFC Lynndie England, were sentenced to ten and three years in prison, respectively.
Brigadier GeneralJanis Karpinski, the commanding officer of all detention facilities in Iraq, was reprimanded and demoted to the rank of colonel , the commanding officer of all detention facilities in Iraq, was reprimanded and relieved of her command.

A few years later cornel karpinsh=jki came out publicially and said that the torture had been instuited in to the prison without her knowledge. She continued that the Mossad brought the torture techniques into Abu Ghraib. Yet if you currently search for this topic, you will only come up with the phrase “Israelis.”
‘Mossad’s name has been expunged from all public records.

I used the named asteroid mosser for mossad and the named asteroid was exactly opposed to the sun in "birth" chart at 1:00 pm on march 2.

from it's inception the mossad had been created to monitor world affair. internal affairs were under the jurisdiction of Shabak/Shin Bet.

but according to Gideaon's Spies, when Netanyahu came to power he used the mossad for personal intelligence on political rivals and forever change the nature of the mossad,by replacing the head of mossad.

the judicial assassination characteristic the mossad (and all national intelligence agencies in general )is shown by Jupiter conjunct the north node and forming a sword of god(finger of god) with Jupiter/node inconjunct to pluto and Neptune with Neptune and pluto in sextile.

this formation illustrates the energy of both the north and south node can manifest in good or evil actions as they are a endpoints of a cosmic energy .

the used of assassination asa political option is shown by the nessus/pluto midpoint conjunct to the named asteroid Israel, opposed to the moon/chiron conjunction and square to mars at midheaven

I have posted on my mrsa thread about the mossad and their drug dealing and the mossad chemist creating genetically altered virus/mrsa combinations. My antagonism is not imaginary.
In fact the first virus/mrsa combination I was infect with was in sept 2012 by a mossad/cia subcontractor. I smoke a couple of hits of pot and within 10 minutes a aggressive mrsa infection appeared on my cheek. I had almost got rid of my first mrsainfection whichi hadgot from smoking a joint with a Mexican federal agent,also subcontracting for the cia/mossad. This initially infection was directly related to my post about the cia/mossad involvement with the assassinations of mayor moscone and Harvey milk in 1978. But this infection was simple aggressive mrsa, if aggressive mrsa can becalled simple.
The mossad agent infected me because I had “outed” him to the locals in daly city. I took them he was a informant and was trying to find out where all the grow houses were in daly city and that he would inevitably bust them. The locals at first believed me but then the agent took up with a local Filipino girl and was able to dissuade everyone that he was a narc. In the process he found out I had been the one to finger him so he infected me.(and I was correct in the end, the houses were busted and the cia and mossad have taken over the drug trade in day city as they have around the world)
It was not too hard to figure out he was a informant because, since 2010 I had seen the “new Yorkers” buy up san Francisco and I noticed they also took control of the drug trade.
So around 2012 I knew the new Yorker(Rothschild corporations/mossad)were going to start buying up daly city ,as they had just about totally bought up san Francisco by then,(daly city is the next city due south of san Francisco)
i first met this mossad informant in a obscure wooded area near a major shopping center.just a few locals knew about this area and would come and occasionally smoke pot. So this guy shows up dressed in the basic black pants and white shirt and had expensive pot for sale. I met him a couple of times and we actually had some very interesting conversation. he continually referred to his “teacher” which understood was his rabbi as he had been born in Israel and lived in new yorker city for many years.
But after this he became suspicious of me , probably lt because of the nature of our conversations and stop selling pot ,always saying he had none. The final evidence for me was when I let the secluded glade of trees I spotted a undercover police officer checking out the pathway when I left on the last occasion.
The strain of mrsa he infected me with caused atrial fibrillation. this was my first realization that there was genetic engineering going on with the mrsa.

So my first and second infections of mrsa were by cia subcontractors .
These were not my only or first interactions with mossad subcontractors.

In early 2000’s the fbi reported a surge in violence in small towns. Later they reported that this violence was actually between gangs.
In 2004 ,in Amarillo texas I made the acquaintance with a alleged ex con ,”bill”,from st Louis .we met while working in a warehouse. after a couple of months we lost contact for a few months.
Bill didn’t smoke pot but was into meth.yet he was always searching out pot dealers. I met him again a couple of months down the line, I was looking for some smoke and he had a connection. A week later I inquired again and he said that connection had been busted. But he knew someone else. The same scenario played out the next week, I wanted to score again but this second connection had been busted. So I started thinking hmmmm….
The next time I saw him he , he was dealing meth. ICE- meth which is produced by genetically altered bacteria and is the controlled by the mossad. He had an apartment and a “possee” of meth addicts who he sent out on various illegl endeavors, bad checks, shop lifting ertc.
He told me how he had been a bust and the police looked at him and called him angel and busted everyone but him.i happened to know the individuals that were busted. They were moving CIA supplied drugs, so I found it strange that this bust occurred and I realized there was more to “bill” that I realized.
What was occurring was that “bill” was a mossad informant and he was infiltrating and busting drug dealers who were cia and police connected. He was a deep mole and the local police did not know who he was .
In the late 1980’s in amarillo there were a series of incidents where masked men with drawn guns had busted into all the drug dealers in town. No was injured, but these drug dealers were told to stop dealing…..there was a exodus of drug dealers out of Amarillo and the only ones left were dealers who and connection to the sheriff’s office. This marked the point when the cia took control of ll drug dealing in partnership with the police throughout the country . the cia in this time had wanted to have a agent stationed in every police office in the country. The actual reason was to facilitate their drug dealing.
What was occurring in amarilllo in 2004 was that the mossad, in partnership with the cia, were taking over all the meth dealing in the country. But as the cia already had connection to thecountry’s drug dealers, mossad was allowed to send moles to infiltrate the existing drug dealers. this way thecia could betray their existing drug partners but would not be held accountable.
Around this time , I got sideways with the corrupt sheriffs , as I unwittingly found out police drugs were being moved through the high schools in collusion with vice principals and coaches.
So I quickly , my life was endangered.
As a consequence, as I had no safe haven and since I had realized that “bill” was a deep mole I decided to move into his apratemnt with his meth addict posse. He had asked me to move in sometime early but as I was not a meth addict , I didn’t want to start associating with such people.
But I realized that since he was a deep mole, the corrupt sheriffs that were out to get me would not dare come after me if I was living with “bills” possee, as he clearly had connection to the highest level of law enforcement .
During the two week I stayed there , I continued working and did smoke ice,though I was the only one to refuse more meth at 6 oclock in the evening so that I could be fit to go to work in the morning.
While living there, I saw one situation that explained why the fbi had reported that there was a upsurge in gang violence early.
What “bill” did was to sell a large amount of ICE to a Mexican mafia connection. Then set up this same connection with a bogus offer from someone to buy the ICE. But he waited outside the house and when the dealer appeared, he mugged him and stole the ICE.
Then he tried to blame an another faction of the Mexican mafia as stealing the drugs.
This was what had happened across the country. The mossad had caused drug dealer to turn on each other and start gang wars. This is why there was a rise in gang violence in the early 2000’s.
This was how the mossad in conjunction with the cia gained control of the 95% of the drug trade in this country and the world.

(in the book Gideon’s Spies :the Secret History of the Mossad,the author Gordon Thomas reveals that the mossad knew the truck bombing was likely but did not tell the Americans. Mossad agents reportly said (para phrased)” they are the new kids on the block, let their noses get bloodied”.rahu)

The facts are stark. Twenty years ago, very early at 0622 on 23 October 1983, a lone suicide bomber drove a Mercedes truck-packed with the equivalent of 12,000 pounds of TNT-into the building housing many of the Marines of the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit (24th MAU) killing 241 Marines and members of other U.S. Services. Most of Headquarters and Services Company of Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines (BLT 1/8) was wiped out. At the same time, another suicide bomber drove a van into the barracks housing the French Foreign Legion killing several doxen Legionnaires.

Reading and watching the news coverage now of the efforts by the Marine Corps and the Army to keep the peace in Iraq brings back many memories of peacekeeping in Beirut in 1982-84. Beirut also comes to mind when talking to veterans who tried to keep the peace in Somalia.

Only time will tell if we have learned the bloody lessons of Beirut. This article does not recount the specific events. Marines know them well enough.

Exhaustive detail can be found in U.S. Marines in Lebanon: 1982-1984, published by the History and Museums Division, Headquarters Marine Corps, 1987, and in the seminal investigative report of the Long Commission.1

The five-member Department of Defense Commission on the Beirut International Airport Terrorist Act, 23 October 1983, was established by then-Secretary of Defense Casper W. Weinberger on 7 November 1983. It was chaired by ADM Robert L.K. Long, USN(Ret), who had retired in July 1983 after 40 years of service.2 Details of this scathing report may be found at . (See p. 44.) posture of the USMNF constituted tacit approval of the security measures and procedures in force at the BLT Headquarters building on 23 October 1983.

With the benefit of hindsight, it has become apparent that the Beirut bombing was a failure of intelligence, a clear failure of command and control, a failure of effective rules of engagement (ROE), a failure of clearcut mission orders, and a failure in Washington to understand the Middle East, and Lebanon specifically.

It was not, again with 20 years of hindsight, a failure of the 24th MAU and its commander, Col Timothy J. Geraghty. His only fault may have been to bunch too many Marines into one building, creating an attractive target for terrorists.

This writer jotted down a sign at Echo Company, BLT 2/8:
They sent us to Beirut, to be targets who could not shoot. Friends will die into an early grave, was there any reasons for what they gave.3

This was not too far from the "Can't Shoot Back Saloon.''4 The Root Scoop-the six page newspaper of the 24th MAU-on 22 September 1983 published a cartoon showing a Marine in a foxhole with incoming artillery from all directions. The Marine, on the radio, asks, "Yes Sir, it's hard to tell if we're the target. Do I draw?"

In October, and days before the bombing, this writer was trooping the lines with SgtMaj F.B. Douglass of Cataumet, MA, and the BLT commanding officer (CO), LtCol Howard L. Gerlach. SgtMaj Douglass was killed on 23 October while LtCol Gerlach was gravely wounded and disabled. "I have no clue why we are here; this will end quite badly," SgtMaj Douglass predicted. "The least I can do now is take care of my Marines."

Overall many lessons have been learned. The intelligence analysis capabilities of a Marine expeditionary unit (special operations capable) (MEU(SOC))5 vastly surpass the capabilities organic to the MAU in Beirut. This water learned this first hand while deployed in 1989 with the 26th MEU. Chains of command have been realigned, heavy-duty cultural training is now common for deploying Marines, and ROE are more in line with the actual threat. These changes were confirmed by the former Commandant, Gen James L. Jones.

A Failure of Intelligence
On 18 April 1983, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut was destroyed by a massive car bomb that took the lives of 17 U.S. citizens and over 40 others. What has never been formally acknowledged, yet is widely known, is that at that time many senior station chiefs of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) were holding a meeting in the Embassy. Eight of the killed in action were employees of the CIA, including chief Middle East analyst Robert C. Ames and station chief Kenneth Haas. This meeting was also confirmed by Robert Oakley in 1987. He was a former U.S. State Department coordinator for counterterrorism during the 1980s. Oakley has also served as U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, Zaire, and Somalia.

These intelligence officers were stationed all over the Middle East. Many were killed. With one stroke most of the human intelligence network in the Middle East was wiped out. Sure, agents and sources were still in place, but they had lost their handlers, and many intelligence networks withered away. This loss of human intelligence was also directly confirmed to this writer by Robert "Bud" McFarlane who served as national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan from 1983 to 1985.

The loss of effective human agent networks would be felt for years and, retired CIA officers now acknowledge, seriously degraded Washington's ability to collect solid information on the Middle East. Both Oakley and McFarlane confirmed this view.

It takes years to reestablish intelligence networks. At the same time, Washington had already decided to redirect intelligence gathering from agents in place to electronic and signals analysis. Note that after 11 September 2001, demands were made on the CIA to rapidly reestablish an effective global agent network-a task that takes years.6

The S-2 (intelligence) for the MAU was ill-equipped to analyze a steady stream of intelligence about militia groups. In 1989, aboard the USS Nassau (LHA 4), a Marine intelligence officer who had served with the 24th MAU recalled, "We got no guidance from Washington or any of the higher headquarters. We had no training in analyzing this type of intelligence." He recalls that the intelligence section received a steady stream of reports warning of attacks. "The volume [of these reports] was very high, and we had no prior training on how to properly review this information." This assessment of MAU intelligence operations and the improvements under then-Commandant, Alfred M. Gray, were the subjects of lengthy discussions between this writer and then-LtCol Matthew E. Broderick who was the CO of the BLT assigned to 26th MEU in 1989.7

the moment chart of the attack that killed 256 service men shows a exact sun/pluto conjunction which is conjunct tpo Saturn on the ascendant opposed to Sedna and square to orcus. the midpoint for the named asteroids for Israel and the mossad is conjunct to orcus and square to the Saturn/sun/pluto stellium on the ascendant. makes one wonder how much the mossad had to do with the truck bombing of their "allies" the US

When Zionists demolish Palestinian houses, they cheer and celebrate.

When the IDF rains down death on Gaza, Israelis hold celebratory barbecues on hilltops where they boisterously applaud the carnage.

And when the Mossad blew up the World Trade Center, five of their operatives filmed themselves high-fiving and flicking cigarette lighters in front of the burning and then exploding Towers. A few hours later, Netanyahu, asked for his reaction to the death of almost 3000 people in the worst-ever attack on American soil, replied: “It’s very good.” A few days later, legendary Mossad chief Mike Harari threw a party to celebrate his handiwork, according to witness Dmitri Khalezov.

Those Israelis sure know how to “party hearty.”

When will somebody have the guts to tell them the party’s over?

...shooting children in the head for sport that what they do over there at the IDF.......this just last a week...as the demonstration ends,people had been dispersed,the a Israeli sniper shot a 9 year old in the head. the snipers find some kids sitting in front of his parents house hundred of meters away and blows his brains out for fun..and this is not an anomaly..it happens all the time...soldiers never even get their wrist slapped.. Israeli snipers lure kids within range of heir guns in order to shoot them dead... the Israeli army hunts children for sport.....the Israeli government loves it....the british medical journal documented over 600 cases of sniper shooting children..ayelet shaked(Minister of Justice) cheers for it..these are thpeople of Israel today...

When Zionists demolish Palestinian houses, they cheer and celebrate.

When the IDF rains down death on Gaza, Israelis hold celebratory barbecues on hilltops where they boisterously applaud the carnage.

And when the Mossad blew up the World Trade Center, five of their operatives filmed themselves high-fiving and flicking cigarette lighters in front of the burning and then exploding Towers. A few hours later, Netanyahu, asked for his reaction to the death of almost 3000 people in the worst-ever attack on American soil, replied: “It’s very good.” A few days later, legendary Mossad chief Mike Harari threw a party to celebrate his handiwork, according to witness Dmitri Khalezov.

Those Israelis sure know how to “party hearty.”

When will somebody have the guts to tell them the party’s over?

Leading US-based Israeli group forced to close as public support for Israel declines

[ Editor’s Note: Well this came as a surprise this morning. I almost choked on my coffee.

I was not aware of the new Gallup poll that American support for Israel is at its lowest in the past decade, with Republicans leading the way. Am I having a dream? If anyone saw this reported in corporate media earlier, please let me know in the comments.

Even the story below has held back. Haaretz reports that The Israel Project went bankrupt, versus “closed”; so once again, we get more truth from Israeli media than from a Press TV story.

“They just have no money left, absolutely nothing,” one person who has worked closely with TIP over the years was reported as saying by Haaretz. This person also stated that work at TIP’s US office “has also come to a halt”, but TIP’s officials are now debating how to end operations.

This is another example of how our media is solidly in the pocket of the Zionist regime when it comes to censoring Israeli news deemed detrimental, even if true. This is why we have to search foreign media every morning to read what our own media does not want us to know.

I was shocked to see the decline in support having started in 2015, which means the lid has been kept on this story for years. I hope we can see a series of articles on all the details.

Maybe now we see the real reason for all the legislation to make any criticism of Israel criminal – and why this story was buried while the effort was going on. How much more can a foreign country interfere inside America than to have any mention of their activities criminalized?

And how should we treat a political establishment that bows down to this foreign invader – who many Americans view as subverting the US – via political corruption as the accepted tried-and-true method?

This story is the tip of the iceberg. The mother of all political and security stories is the sell out of US officials to let Israel conduct massive espionage operations here, on all levels.

– First published … August 08, 2019 –

US-based pro-Israel advocacy organization, the Israel Project (TIP), has reportedly been forced to close its Israel office in anticipation of a complete shutdown due to a sharp decline in support.

According to TIP managers, the group “simply ran out of money” after losing a large proportion of its annual funds and donations due to the increased “polarized political climate in the United States”, Haaretz reported.

The pro-Israel group was a proponent of “hasbara”, an Israeli concept seeking to legitimize Israel in the eyes of the world public opinion through disseminating propaganda.

The TIP formed in 2002 at the height of the second Palestinian Intifada, and sought to influence journalists and their coverage of Israel.

TIP activities gradually grew to cover multiple languages and countries, as well as conduct influence operations on the social media.

The group has been known for its hard-hitting stance against Iran and even Islam, going as far as promoting Islamophobia and conducting marketing research on how to “sell military action against Iran to the American public”.

‘We attacked the Iran deal’

The group prides itself on having lobbied extensively against the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, a key polarizing factor which also led to the group’s sharp decline.

TIP’s vice president and head of its Israel office Lior Weintraub, a former Israeli diplomat in Washington, described why the group gradually lost support among its donors.

“We attacked the Iran deal; because Israel became part of the internal American political debate;…because support for Israel became too complicated for some of them in these times,” he said.

Critics believe the pro-Israel advocacy group became too closely aligned with the regime of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, specifically in its bid to torpedo the Iran nuclear deal, alienating many American supporters across the political spectrum.

Consequently starting from 2015, the TIP lost a large number of its donations, and is currently on the verge of shutting down all together.

Last month, TIP CEO Josh Block, a former spokesman for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, resigned from the organization, citing “the polarized political climate in the US, both in the wider body politic and inside the Jewish community”.

Despite Trump’s strongly pro-Israel foreign policy, the fall of the leading propaganda firm marks one of the latest signals of increasing negative public opinion regarding Israel in the US.

Trump’s strong stance on Israel has pushed Tel Aviv into the center of the American political discussion, resulting in increased debate about Washington’s support.

A recent Gallup poll found that American support for Israel has fallen to its lowest level in the past decade.

The American people’s support for Israel has fallen to its lowest level in the past decade despite Trump’s close ties with Netanyahu.

The decline was seen among both Democrats and Republicans. Followers of Trump’s own party posted the sharpest decrease, however.

Mossad Epstein Connection. Israel has not been our greatest ally. It's been our greatest enemy


BATTLE FOR WORLD / STEVE PIECZENIK | August 13, 2019: Dr. Pieczenik: …The Epstein pedophilia ring. What it really is, is a Mossad-Israeli operative ring, which goes back decades and decades all the way to the time even where the [USS] Liberty Ship was attacked by unmarked Israeli planes during the 6-day war. And Israel said they did not do it. Well, that was a lie. Israel has not been our greatest ally. It’s been our greatest enemy. They were also involved in 911 the stand-down. [Paul?] Wolfowitz’s deputy confirmed that to me; Israeli Mossad operatives who I interrogated and threatened confirmed that to me, and I put away two Mossad operatives. The key to this Epstein problem of pedophilia is fact that it goes back decades. Jeff Epstein was picked out by the Mossad… http://youtu.be/R6-gUqNPi4I

END

http://www.mca-marines.org/gazette/beirut-1983-have-we-learned-lesson

The facts are stark. Twenty years ago, very early at 0622 on 23 October 1983, a lone suicide bomber drove a Mercedes truck-packed with the equivalent of 12,000 pounds of TNT-into the building housing many of the Marines of the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit (24th MAU) killing 241 Marines and members of other U.S. Services. Most of Headquarters and Services Company of Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines (BLT 1/8) was wiped out. At the same time, another suicide bomber drove a van into the barracks housing the French Foreign Legion killing several doxen Legionnaires.
(in the book Gideon’s Spies :the Secret History of the Mossad,the author Gordon Thomas reveals that the mossad knew the truck bombing was likely but did not tell the Americans. Mossad agents reportly said (para phrased)” they are the new kids on the block, let their noses get bloodied”.rahu)

Reading and watching the news coverage now of the efforts by the Marine Corps and the Army to keep the peace in Iraq brings back many memories of peacekeeping in Beirut in 1982-84. Beirut also comes to mind when talking to veterans who tried to keep the peace in Somalia.

Only time will tell if we have learned the bloody lessons of Beirut. This article does not recount the specific events. Marines know them well enough.

Exhaustive detail can be found in U.S. Marines in Lebanon: 1982-1984, published by the History and Museums Division, Headquarters Marine Corps, 1987, and in the seminal investigative report of the Long Commission.1

The five-member Department of Defense Commission on the Beirut International Airport Terrorist Act, 23 October 1983, was established by then-Secretary of Defense Casper W. Weinberger on 7 November 1983. It was chaired by ADM Robert L.K. Long, USN(Ret), who had retired in July 1983 after 40 years of service.2 Details of this scathing report may be found at . (See p. 44.) posture of the USMNF constituted tacit approval of the security measures and procedures in force at the BLT Headquarters building on 23 October 1983.

With the benefit of hindsight, it has become apparent that the Beirut bombing was a failure of intelligence, a clear failure of command and control, a failure of effective rules of engagement (ROE), a failure of clearcut mission orders, and a failure in Washington to understand the Middle East, and Lebanon specifically.

It was not, again with 20 years of hindsight, a failure of the 24th MAU and its commander, Col Timothy J. Geraghty. His only fault may have been to bunch too many Marines into one building, creating an attractive target for terrorists.

This writer jotted down a sign at Echo Company, BLT 2/8:
They sent us to Beirut, to be targets who could not shoot. Friends will die into an early grave, was there any reasons for what they gave.3

This was not too far from the "Can't Shoot Back Saloon.''4 The Root Scoop-the six page newspaper of the 24th MAU-on 22 September 1983 published a cartoon showing a Marine in a foxhole with incoming artillery from all directions. The Marine, on the radio, asks, "Yes Sir, it's hard to tell if we're the target. Do I draw?"

In October, and days before the bombing, this writer was trooping the lines with SgtMaj F.B. Douglass of Cataumet, MA, and the BLT commanding officer (CO), LtCol Howard L. Gerlach. SgtMaj Douglass was killed on 23 October while LtCol Gerlach was gravely wounded and disabled. "I have no clue why we are here; this will end quite badly," SgtMaj Douglass predicted. "The least I can do now is take care of my Marines."

Overall many lessons have been learned. The intelligence analysis capabilities of a Marine expeditionary unit (special operations capable) (MEU(SOC))5 vastly surpass the capabilities organic to the MAU in Beirut. This water learned this first hand while deployed in 1989 with the 26th MEU. Chains of command have been realigned, heavy-duty cultural training is now common for deploying Marines, and ROE are more in line with the actual threat. These changes were confirmed by the former Commandant, Gen James L. Jones.

A Failure of Intelligence
On 18 April 1983, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut was destroyed by a massive car bomb that took the lives of 17 U.S. citizens and over 40 others. What has never been formally acknowledged, yet is widely known, is that at that time many senior station chiefs of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) were holding a meeting in the Embassy. Eight of the killed in action were employees of the CIA, including chief Middle East analyst Robert C. Ames and station chief Kenneth Haas. This meeting was also confirmed by Robert Oakley in 1987. He was a former U.S. State Department coordinator for counterterrorism during the 1980s. Oakley has also served as U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, Zaire, and Somalia.

These intelligence officers were stationed all over the Middle East. Many were killed. With one stroke most of the human intelligence network in the Middle East was wiped out. Sure, agents and sources were still in place, but they had lost their handlers, and many intelligence networks withered away. This loss of human intelligence was also directly confirmed to this writer by Robert "Bud" McFarlane who served as national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan from 1983 to 1985.

The loss of effective human agent networks would be felt for years and, retired CIA officers now acknowledge, seriously degraded Washington's ability to collect solid information on the Middle East. Both Oakley and McFarlane confirmed this view.

It takes years to reestablish intelligence networks. At the same time, Washington had already decided to redirect intelligence gathering from agents in place to electronic and signals analysis. Note that after 11 September 2001, demands were made on the CIA to rapidly reestablish an effective global agent network-a task that takes years.6

The S-2 (intelligence) for the MAU was ill-equipped to analyze a steady stream of intelligence about militia groups. In 1989, aboard the USS Nassau (LHA 4), a Marine intelligence officer who had served with the 24th MAU recalled, "We got no guidance from Washington or any of the higher headquarters. We had no training in analyzing this type of intelligence." He recalls that the intelligence section received a steady stream of reports warning of attacks. "The volume [of these reports] was very high, and we had no prior training on how to properly review this information." This assessment of MAU intelligence operations and the improvements under then-Commandant, Alfred M. Gray, were the subjects of lengthy discussions between this writer and then-LtCol Matthew E. Broderick who was the CO of the BLT assigned to 26th MEU in 1989.7

In Gideons Spies , author Gordon thomas details the mossad’s employment of American spy jonathan pollard 1987.
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/WR...#axzz59HpN4NGW

Once again Israel denies wrongdoing, or faced with incontrovertible evidence (in this case one of the spies has reportedly cooperated with the FBI) dismisses the spying with the claim that such spying is harmless, because Israel and the United States are such good friends.
Well, let us take a closer look at that idea of “harmless espionage” by recalling Israel’s most famous failed spy, Jonathan Pollard.

Jonathan Pollard is an American of Jewish descent, born in Galveston Texas, who established a career as an intelligence analyst for the US Navy.

There have been many theories offered as to why Pollard decided to betray his country of birth to the Jewish state, but that Pollard did betray his country of birth to Israel is beyond all doubt.

Pollard’s defense was that he did not spy so much against the United States, only that he spied for Israel, sending them documents that in his opinion the US should have shared with Israel anyway.

That it was never Pollards job to decide what documents Israel should have was apparently irrelevant. Pollard arrogated that authority to himself. From his position of trust within the US Navy, Pollard delivered over 1000 classified documents to Israel for which he was well paid.

Included in those documents were the names of over 150 US agents in the Mideast, who were eventually “turned” out. 18 CIA agents were killed and untold number of contacts were killed. Israel passed the knowledge of the American agents over to many countries in eastern Europe and to Russia. this effectively gutted the entire American espionage network that had been developed since the end of the second world war. Israel received compensation for sharing this knowledge to American enemies.

But by far the most egregious damage done by Pollard was to steal classified documents relating to the US Nuclear Deterrent relative to the USSR and send them to Israel. According to sources in the US State Department, Israel then turned around and traded those stolen nuclear secrets to the USSR in exchange for increased emigration quotas from the USSR to Israel.

Other information that found its way from the US to Israel to the USSR resulted in the loss of American agents operating inside the USSR. Casper Weinberger, in his affidavit opposing a reduced sentence for Pollard, described the damage done to the United States thus,

"[It is] difficult to conceive of a greater harm to national security than that caused by... Pollard's treasonous behavior."

In Gideon’s Spies, the author points out that in addition to the above damage, the Mossad shared this information with European countries that resulted in the US having to pull out all it’s covert agents of Europe and who knows how many of their in those countries were compromised or worse.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Pollard

Pollard is the only American who has received a life sentence for passing classified information to an ally of the U.S.[2] In defense of his actions, Pollard declared that he committed espionage only because "the American intelligence establishment collectively endangered Israel's security by withholding crucial information".[3] Israeli officials, American-Israeli activist groups, and some American politicians who saw his punishment as unfair lobbied continually for reduction or commutation of his sentence.[4] The Israeli government acknowledged a portion of its role in Pollard's espionage in 1987, and issued a formal apology to the U.S.,[5] but did not admit to paying him until 1998. Over the course of his imprisonment, Israel made repeated unsuccessful attempts through both official and unofficial channels to secure his release.[6] He was granted Israeli citizenship in 1995.[7]
Opposing any form of clemency were many active and retired U.S. officials, including Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, former CIA director George Tenet; several former U.S. Secretaries of Defense; a bi-partisan group of U.S. congressional leaders; and members of the American intelligence community.[8][9][10][11] They maintained that the damage to U.S. national security due to Pollard's espionage was far more severe, wide-ranging, and enduring than publicly acknowledged. Though Pollard argued that he only supplied Israel with information critical to its security, opponents pointed out that he had no way of knowing what the Israelis had received through legitimate exchanges, and that much of the data he compromised had nothing to do with Israeli security
Yet netanyahu can claims Israel is the U.S.most trusted ally……as long as drumpf gives him all he wants.

Laws in effect at the time of Pollard's sentencing mandated that inmates serving life sentences be paroled after 30 years of incarceration if no significant prison regulations had been violated, and if there was a "reasonable probability" that the inmate would not re-offend.[170][171] On July 28, 2015. the U.S. Parole Commission announced that Pollard would be released on November 20, 2015.[172] The U.S. Justice Department informed Pollard's legal team that it would not contest the Parole Commission's unanimous July 7 decision.[173]
Under the terms of his release, Pollard must remain on parole for one year, and within the United States for a minimum of five years. His whereabouts and computer usage will be electronically monitored, and press interviews and Internet communications are forbidden.[174] Pollard's attorneys and Ayelet Shaked, Israel's Justice Minister, urged President Obama to exercise his powers of clemency to waive Pollard's parole requirements and allow him to move to Israel immediately; but a spokesman for the White House's National Security Council announced that the president would not intervene.[175][176]
After his release on November 20, as scheduled, Pollard relocated to an apartment secured for him by his attorneys in New York City.[177] A job offer, as a research analyst at a Manhattan investment firm, was retracted due to the restrictions imposed on his Internet access and the inspections to which his employer's computers would be subjected.[178] His attorneys immediately filed a motion challenging the terms of his parole, arguing that the Internet restrictions rendered him unemployable as an analyst, and the GPS-equipped ankle bracelet was unnecessary, as he was not a flight risk.[174] The filing included affidavits from McFarlane and former Senate Intelligence Committee member Dennis DeConcini declaring that any secrets learned by Pollard thirty years ago were no longer secret, and had no value today.[179] On August 12, 2016, a federal judge denied the motion on the basis of a statement from James Clapper, the director of U.S. National Intelligence, asserting that contrary to the MacFarlane and DeConcini affidavits, much of the information stolen by Pollard in the 1980s remained secret. The judge also cited Pollard's Israeli citizenship, obtained during his incarceration, as evidence that he was indeed a flight risk.[180]
A bill introduced in the Knesset in November 2015 would, if passed, authorize the Israeli government to fund Pollard's housing and medical expenses, and pay him a monthly stipend, for the remainder of his life. Reports that the Israelis had already been paying Pollard and his ex-wife during his incarceration were denied.[181] After numerous delays, the bill was withdrawn from consideration in March 2016 at the request of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli security officials, citing "diplomatic and security reasons".[182]
In March 2017, Pollard's attorneys petitioned the US Court of Appeals to reverse the August 2016 lower-court decision denying his request for more lenient parole restrictions. They argued that the prohibition against leaving his residence between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. forced him to violate Shabbat and Jewish holidays, and that surveillance of his computers prevented him from working at a job consistent with his education and intelligence. They further asserted that Pollard could not possibly remember information he saw before his arrest, and in any case, the parole conditions arbitrarily limited his computer usage, but not his ability to transfer information by other means. Netanyahu also reportedly renewed his request for a parole waiver during a meeting with Vice President Mike Pence.[183]

Confirmed by VT: The CIA, Mossad and “Epstein Network” are Exploiting Mass Shootings
By Whitney Webb at MintPress

Introduction:

VT, among others, has investigated the rash of shootings, not just in the US but France, Italy and elsewhere. Outside the US we have cooperation from counter-terrorist organizations (governmental) because of our standing. In the US, we remain pariahs because of our unwillingness to blame others.

Our general position is this: We believe that 9/11 was an operation intended to overthrow the Gore administration, one cheated out of a presidency, and install a fake military dictatorship under the control of the RKM/KN crime ring run out of Israel and Russia, one that encompasses the full gambit of fake groups, Bilderberg, the “hunting clubs,” evangelical zionism, most of DC “stink tanks…”

From here, an all encompassing mob controlled bureaucracy would be created, the DHS, which would engineer, aided by the media, a divided population, pushed into accepting “benevolent dictatorship,” giving up all rights, all privacy but armed to the teeth…until that last moment when the hammer falls and the roundups begin. Whitney Webb outlines how technology will bring about that day. We have official briefing material telling us it is coming and confirming everything written here:

Following the arrest and subsequent death in prison of alleged child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a little-known Israeli tech company began to receive increased publicity, but for all the wrong reasons. Not long after Epstein’s arrest, and his relationships and finances came under scrutiny, it was revealed that the Israeli company Carbyne911 had received substantial funding from Jeffrey Epstein as well as Epstein’s close associate and former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak, and Silicon Valley venture capitalist and prominent Trump backer Peter Thiel.

Carbyne911, or simply Carbyne, develops call-handling and identification capabilities for emergency response services in countries around the world, including the United States, where it has already been implemented in several U.S. counties and has partnered with major U.S. tech companies like Google. It specifically markets its product as a way of mitigating mass shootings in the United States without having to change existing U.S. gun laws.

Yet, Carbyne is no ordinary tech company, as it is deeply connected to the elite Israeli military intelligence division, Unit 8200, whose “alumni” often go on to create tech companies — Carbyne among them — that frequently maintain their ties to Israeli intelligence and, according to Israeli media reports and former employees, often “blur the line” between their service to Israel’s defense/intelligence apparatus and their commercial activity. As this report will reveal, Carbyne is but one of several Israeli tech companies marketing themselves as a technological solution to mass shootings that has direct ties to Israeli intelligence agencies.

Switch and you could save $699 on car insurance


In each case, these companies’ products are built in such a way that they can easily be used to illegally surveil the governments, institutions and civilians that use them, a troubling fact given Unit 8200’s documented prowess in surveillance as a means of obtaining blackmail and Israel’s history of using tech companies to aggressively spy on the U.S. government. This is further compounded by the fact that Unit 8200-linked tech companies have previously received U.S. government contracts to place “backdoors” into the U.S.’ entire telecommunications system as well as into the popular products of major American tech companies including Google, Microsoft and Facebook, many of whose key managers and executives are now former Unit 8200 officers.


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it no secret that placing Unit 8200 members in top positions in multinational tech companies is a “deliberate policy” meant to ensure Israel’s role as the dominant global “cyber power”, while also combating non-violent boycott movements targeting Israel’s violations of international law and stifling the United Nations’ criticisms of Israeli government policy and military operations abroad.

As Jeffrey Epstein’s links to intelligence in both the United States and Israel — the subject of a recent four-part series exclusive to MintPress — began to be revealed in full, his financing of Carbyne came under scrutiny, particularly for the company’s deep ties to Israeli intelligence as well as to certain Americans with known connections to U.S. intelligence. Ehud Barak’s own role as both financier and chairman of Carbyne has also added to that concern, given his long history of involvement in covert intelligence operations for Israel and his long-standing ties to Israeli military intelligence.

Another funder of Carbyne, Peter Thiel, has his own company that, like Carbyne, is set to profit from the Trump administration’s proposed hi-tech solutions to mass shootings. Indeed, after the recent shooting in El Paso, Texas, President Trump — who received political donations from and has been advised by Thiel following his election — asked tech companies to “detect mass shooters before they strike,” a service already perfected by Thiel’s company Palantir, which has developed “pre-crime software” already in use throughout the country. Palantir is also a contractor for the U.S. intelligence community and also has a branch based in Israel.

Perhaps most disturbing of all, whatever technological solution is adopted by the Trump administration, it is set to use a controversial database first developed as part of a secretive U.S. government program that involved notorious Iran-Contra figures like Oliver North as a means of tracking and flagging potential American dissidents for increased surveillance and detention in the event of a vaguely defined “national emergency.”

As this report will reveal, this database — often referred to as “Main Core” — was created with the involvement of Israeli intelligence and Israel remained involved years after it was developed, and potentially to the present. It was also used by at least one former CIA official on President Reagan’s National Security Council to blackmail members of Congress, Congressional staffers and journalists, among others.

Given recent reports on the Trump administration’s plan to create a new government agency to use “advanced technology” to identify “neurobehavioral signs” of “someone headed toward a violent explosive act” using data collected by consumer electronic devices, the picture painted by the technology currently being promoted and implemented under the guise of “keeping Americans safe” is deeply Orwellian. In fact, it points directly to the genesis of a far-reaching surveillance state far more extensive than anything yet seen in American history and it is being jointly developed by individuals connected to both American and Israeli intelligence.

Demystifying Carbyne

Carbyne911, which will be referred to simply as Carbyne in this report, is an Israeli tech-startup that promises to revolutionize how calls are handled by emergency service providers, as well as by governments, corporations and educational institutions. Not long after it was founded in 2014 by veterans of Israeli military intelligence, Carbyne began to be specifically marketed as a solution to mass shootings in the United States that goes “beyond the gun debate” and improves the “intelligence that armed emergency responders receive before entering an armed shooter situation” by providing video-streaming and acoustic input from civilian smartphones and other devices connected to the Carbyne network.

Prior to Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in July, Carbyne had been receiving high praise from U.S. and Israeli media, with Fox News hailing the company’s services as the answer to the U.S.’ “aging 911 systems” and the Jerusalem Post writing that the company’s platform offers “hi-tech protection to social workers and school principals.” Other reports claimed that Carbyne’s services result in “a 65% reduction in time-to-dispatch.”

Carbyne’s call-handling/crisis management platform has already been implemented in several U.S. counties and the company has offices not only in the U.S. but also in Mexico, Ukraine and Israel. Carbyne’s expansion to more emergency service provider networks in the U.S. is likely, given that federal legislation seeks to offer grants to upgrade 911 call centers throughout the country with the very technology of which Carbyne is the leading provider. One of the main lobby groups promoting this legislation, the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), has a “strong relationship” with Carbyne, according to Carbyne’s website. In addition, Carbyne has also begun marketing its platform for non-emergency calls to governments, educational institutions and corporations.

Yet, what seemed like the inevitability of Carbyne’s widespread adoption in the U.S. hit a snag following the recent arrest and subsequent death of sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who exploited underage girls for the purpose of obtaining “blackmail” on the rich and poweful, an operation that had clear ties to intelligence. Epstein, after his first arrest and light sentence for soliciting sex from a minor in 2007, was tapped by former Israeli Prime Minister and former head of Israeli military intelligence Ehud Barak, to become a key financial backer of Carbyne.

As a result of increased scrutiny of Epstein’s business activities and his ties to Israel, particularly to Barak, Epstein’s connection to Carbyne was revealed and extensively reported on by the independent media outlet Narativ, whose exposé on Carbyne revealed not only some of the key intelligence connections of the start-up company but also how the architecture of Carbyne’s product itself raises “serious privacy concerns.”

MintPress detailed many of Carbyne’s main intelligence connections in Part III of the investigative series “Inside the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal: Too Big to Fail.” In addition to Barak — former Israeli prime minister and former head of Israeli military intelligence — serving as Carbyne’s chairman and a key financer, the company’s executive team are all former members of Israeli intelligence, including the elite military intelligence unit, Unit 8200, which is often compared to the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).

Carbyne’s current CEO, Amir Elichai, served in Unit 8200 and tapped former Unit 8200 commander and current board member of AIPAC 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. The only Carbyne co-founder that didn’t serve in Unit 8200 is Alex Dizengof, who previously worked for Israel’s Prime Minister’s office.

As MintPress noted in a past report detailing Israeli military intelligence’s deep ties to American tech giant Microsoft, Unit 8200 is an elite unit of the Israeli Intelligence corps that is part of the IDF’s Directorate of Military Intelligence and is involved mainly in signal intelligence (i.e., surveillance), cyberwarfare and code decryption. It is frequently described as the Israeli equivalent of the NSA and Peter Roberts, senior research fellow at Britain’s Royal United Services Institute, characterized the unit in an interview with the Financial Times as “probably the foremost technical intelligence agency in the world and stand[ing] on a par with the NSA in everything except scale.”

Notably, the NSA and Unit 8200 have collaborated on numerous projects, most infamously on the Stuxnet virus as well as the Duqu malware. In addition, the NSA is known to work with veterans of Unit 8200 in the private sector, such as when the NSA hired two Israeli companies, to create backdoors into all the major U.S. telecommunications systems and major tech companies, including Facebook, Microsoft and Google. Both of those companies, Verint and Narus, have top executives with ties to Israeli intelligence and one of those companies, Verint (formerly Comverse Infosys), has a history of aggressively spying on U.S. government facilities. Unit 8200 is also known for spying on civilians in the occupied Palestinian territories for “coercion purposes” — i.e., gathering info for blackmail — and also for spying on Palestinian-Americans via an intelligence-sharing agreement with the NSA.

Unlike many other Unit 8200-linked start-ups, Carbyne also boasts several tie-ins to the Trump administration, including Palantir founder and Trump ally Peter Thiel — another investor in Carbyne. In addition, Carbyne’s board of advisers includes former Palantir employee Trae Stephens, who was a member of the Trump transition team, as well as former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff. Trump donor and New York real-estate developer Eliot Tawill is also on Carbyne’s board, alongside Ehud Barak and Pinchas Buchris.

Yet, privacy concerns with Carbyne go beyond the company’s ties to Israeli intelligence and U.S. intelligence contractors like Peter Thiel. For instance, Carbyne’s smartphone app extracts the following information from the phones on which it is installed:


Device location, video live-streamed from the smartphone to the call center, text messages in a two-way chat window, any data from a user’s phone if they have the Carbyne app and ESInet, and any information that comes over a data link, which Carbyne opens in case the caller’s voice link drops out.” (emphasis added)

According to Carbyne’s website, this same information can also be obtained from any smartphone, even if it does not have Carbyne’s app installed, if that phone calls a 911 call center that uses Carbyne or merely any other number connected to Carbyne’s network.

Carbyne data collection

Carbyne gathers data points from users’ phones as well as a myriad of other web-connected devices.

Carbyne is a Next-Generation 9-11 (NG911) platform and the explicit goal of NG911 is for all 911 systems nationwide to become interconnected. Thus, even if Carbyne is not used by all 911 call centers using an NG911 platform, Carbyne will ostensibly have access to the data used by all emergency service providers and devices connected to those networks. This guiding principle of NG911 also makes it likely that one platform will be favored at the federal level to foster such interconnectivity and, given that it has already been adopted by several counties and has ties to the Trump administration, Carbyne is the logical choice.

Another cause for concern is how other countries have used platforms like Carbyne, which were first marketed as emergency response tools, for the purpose of mass surveillance. Narativ noted the following in its investigation of Carbyne:


In May, Human Rights Watch revealed Chinese authorities use a platform not unlike Carbyne to illegally surveil Uyghurs. China’s Integrated Joint Operations Platform brings in a much bigger data-set and sources of video, which includes an app on people’s phones. Like Carbyne, the platform was designed to report emergencies. Chinese authorities have turned it into a tool of mass surveillance.

Human Rights Watch reverse-engineered the app. The group discovered the app automatically profiles a user under 36 “person types” including “followers of Six Lines” which is the term used to identify Uyghurs. Another term refers to “Hajj,” the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. The app monitors every aspect of a user’s life, including personal conversations [and] power usage, and tracks a user’s movement.”

Such technology is currently used by Israeli military intelligence and Israel’s domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet to justify “pre-crime” detentions of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. As will be noted in greater detail later in this report, Palestinians’ comments on social media are tracked by artificial intelligence algorithms that flag them for indefinite detention if they write social media posts that contain “tripwire” phrases such as “the sword of Allah.”

Carbyne’s platform has its own “pre-crime” elements, such as it’s c-Records component, which stores and analyzes information on past calls and events that pass through its network. This information “enables decision makers to accurately analyze the past and present behavior of their callers, react accordingly, and in time predict future patterns.” (emphasis added)

Concerns have recently been raised that “pre-crime” technology may soon become more widely adopted in the U.S., after President Trump stated that one of his planned solutions to mass shootings in the wake of the recent tragedy in El Paso was for big tech companies to detect potential shooters before they strike.

Israeli intelligence, Blackmail and Silicon Valley

Though many of the individuals involved in funding or managing Carbyne have proven ties to intelligence, a closer look into several of these players reveals even deeper connections to both Israeli and U.S. intelligence.

One of Carbyne’s clearest connections to Israeli intelligence is through its chairman and one of its funders, Ehud Barak. Though Barak is best known for being a former prime minister of Israel, he is also a former minister of defense and the former head of Israeli military intelligence. He oversaw Unit 8200’s operations, as well as other units of Israeli military intelligence, in all three of those positions. For most of his military and later political career, Barak has been closely associated with covert operations.

Prior to the public scrutiny of Barak’s relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, following the latter’s arrest this past July and subsequent death, Barak had come under fire for his ties to disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein. Indeed, it was Ehud Barak who put Weinstein in contact with the Israeli private intelligence outfit Black Cube, which employs former Mossad agents and Israeli military intelligence operatives, as Weinstein sought to intimidate the women who had accused him of sexual assault and sexual harassment. Former Mossad director Meir Dagan led Black Cube’s board until his death in 2016 and Carbyne co-founder Lital Leshem is Black Cube’s former director of marketing.

After Barak put him in contact with Black Cube’s leadership, Weinstein, according to The New Yorker, used the private spy firm to “‘target,’ or collect information on, dozens of individuals, and compile psychological profiles that sometimes focused on their personal or sexual histories.” In addition, The New Yorker noted that “Weinstein monitored the progress of the investigations personally” and “also enlisted former employees from his film enterprises to join in the effort, collecting names and placing calls that, according to some sources who received them, felt intimidating.”

Yet, more recently, it has been Barak’s close relationship to Epstein that has raised eyebrows and opened him up to political attacks from his rivals. Epstein and Barak were first introduced by former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres in 2002, a time when Epstein’s pedophile blackmail and sex trafficking operation was in full swing.

Barak was a frequent visitor to Epstein’s residences in New York, so often that The Daily Beast reported that numerous residents of an apartment building linked to Epstein “had seen Barak in the building multiple times over the last few years, and nearly half a dozen more described running into his security detail,” adding that “the building is majority-owned by Epstein’s younger brother, Mark, and has been tied to the financier’s alleged New York trafficking ring.” Specifically, several apartments in the building were “being used to house underage girls from South America, Europe and the former Soviet Union,” according to a former bookkeeper employed by one of Epstein’s main procurers of underage girls, Jean Luc Brunel.

Barak is also known to have spent the night at one of Epstein’s residences at least once, was photographed leaving Epstein’s residence as recently as 2016, and has admitted to visiting Epstein’s island, which has sported nicknames including “Pedo Island,” “Lolita Island” and “Orgy Island.” In 2004, Barak received $2.5 million from Leslie Wexner’s Wexner Foundation, where Epstein was a trustee as well as one of the foundation’s top donors, officially for unspecified “consulting services” and “research” on the foundation’s behalf.

In 2015, Barak formed a limited partnership company in Israel for the explicit purpose of investing in Carbyne (then known as Reporty) and invested millions of dollars in the company, quickly becoming a major shareholder and subsequently the company’s public face and the chairman of its board. At least $1 million of the money invested in this Barak-created company that was later used to invest in Carbyne came from the Southern Trust Company, which was owned by Jeffrey Epstein.

In July, Bloomberg reported that Epstein’s Southern Trust Company is identified in U.S. Virgin Islands filings as “a DNA database and data mining” company. Given Carbyne’s clear potential for data-mining and civilian profiling, Epstein’s investment in Carbyne using this specific company suggests that Carbyne’s investors have long been aware of this little advertised aspect of Carbyne’s product.

In a statement to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Barak asserted:


I saw the business opportunity and registered a partnership in my control in Israel. A small number of people I know invest in it…Since these are private investments, it wouldn’t be proper or right for me to expose the investors’ details.”

However, Barak later admitted that Epstein had been one of the investors.

MintPress’ recent series on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal noted in detail Epstein’s ties to CIA/Mossad intelligence assets, such as Adnan Khashoggi; CIA front companies, such as Southern Air Transport; and organized crime, through his close association with Leslie Wexner. In addition, Epstein’s long-time “girlfriend” and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, has family links to Israeli intelligence through her father, Robert Maxwell. While it appears that Epstein may have been working for more than one intelligence agency, Zev Shalev, former executive producer for CBS News and journalist at Narativ, recently stated that he had independently confirmed with two unconnected sources “closely connected to the Epstein story and in a position to know” that Epstein had “worked for Israeli military intelligence.”

Notably, Epstein, who was known for his interest in obtaining blackmail through the sexual abuse of the underaged girls he exploited, also claimed to have “damaging information” on prominent figures in Silicon Valley. In a conversation last year with New York Times reporter James Stewart, Epstein claimed to have “potentially damaging or embarrassing” information on Silicon Valley’s elite and told Stewart that these top figures in the American tech industry “were hedonistic and regular users of recreational drugs.” Epstein also told Stewart that he had “witnessed prominent tech figures taking drugs and arranging for sex” and claimed to know “details about their supposed sexual proclivities.”

In the lead-up to his recent arrest, Jeffrey Epstein appeared to have been attempting to rebrand as a “tech investor,” as he had done interviews with several journalists including Stewart about technology investing in the months before he was hit with federal sex trafficking charges.

Jessica Lessin, editor-in-chief of The Information, told Business Insider that a journalist working for The Information had interviewed Epstein a month before his recent arrest because “he was believed to be an investor in venture capital funds.” However, Lessin claimed that the interview was not “newsworthy” and said the site had no plans to publish its contents. Business Insider claimed that the way the interviews with Epstein had been arranged “suggests that someone in Silicon Valley may have been trying to help Epstein connect with reporters.”

Though it is unknown exactly which Silicon Valley figures were most connected to Epstein and which tech executives were potentially being blackmailed by Epstein, it is known that Epstein associated with several prominent tech executives, including Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.

Last year, Epstein claimed to be advising Tesla and Elon Musk, who had been previously photographed with Epstein’s alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell. A few years ago, Epstein also attended a dinner hosted by LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman, where Musk had allegedly introduced Epstein to Mark Zuckerberg. Google’s Sergey Brin is known to have attended a dinner hosted by Epstein at his New York residence where Donald Trump was also in attendance.

Elon Musk Ghislaine Maxwell

These associations suggest that the person in Silicon Valley who was trying to boost Epstein’s image as a tech investor before his arrest may have been Peter Thiel, whose Founders Fund had also invested in Carbyne. Thiel was an early investor in Facebook and is still on its board, connecting him to Zuckerberg; he is also a funder of Elon Musk’s SpaceX and a former colleague of Musk’s through PayPal. In addition, Thiel has ties to Reid Hoffman and both Thiel and Hoffman are prominent backers of Facebook.

It is unknown whether Epstein’s “damaging information” and apparent blackmail on notable individuals in the American technology industry were used to advance the objectives of Carbyne, which recently partnered with tech giants Google and Cisco Systems — and, more broadly, the expansion of Israeli intelligence-linked tech companies into the American tech sector, particularly through the acquisition of Israeli tech start-ups linked to Unit 8200 by major U.S. tech companies.

The latter seems increasingly likely given that the father of Ghislaine Maxwell — one of Epstein’s chief co-conspirators in his intelligence-linked sexual blackmail operation involving minors — was a Mossad operative who helped sell software that had been bugged by Israeli intelligence to government agencies and sensitive facilities around the world, including in the United States.

As will be noted later in this report, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — to whom all of Israel’s intelligence agencies answer by virtue of his position — has stated on more than one occasion that the acquisition of Israeli intelligence-linked start-ups by foreign tech giants, especially in Silicon Valley, is a current and “deliberate policy” of the state of Israel.

Carbyne’s ties to U.S. intelligence

While Epstein and Barak are the two financiers of Carbyne whose ties to intelligence are clearest, another funder of Carbyne, Peter Thiel, has ties to U.S. intelligence and a history of investing in other companies founded by former members of Unit 8200. Thiel co-founded and still owns a controlling stake in the company Palantir, which was initially funded with a $2 million investment from the CIA’s venture capital fund In-Q-Tel and quickly thereafter became a contractor for the CIA.

After the success of its contract with the CIA, Palantir became a contractor for a variety of federal agencies, including the FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Department of Homeland Security(DHS) and the military’s Special Operations Command, among others. Last year, it won a contract to create a new battlefield intelligence system for the U.S. Army. Palantir is also in demand for its “pre-crime technology,” which has been used by several U.S. police departments. According to the Guardian, “Palantir tracks everyone from potential terrorist suspects to corporate fraudsters, child traffickers and what they refer to as ‘subversives’… it is all done using prediction.”

Thiel has gained attention in recent years for his support of President Trump and for becoming an adviser to Trump following the 2016 election, when he was “a major force in the transition,” according to Politico, and “helped fill positions in the Trump administration with former staff.” One of those former staffers was Trae Stephens, who is also on Carbyne’s board of advisers. Thiel also has business ties to Trump’s son-in-law and influential adviser, Jared Kushner, as well as to Kushner’s brother Josh. A senior Trump campaign aide told Politico in 2017 that “Thiel is immensely powerful within the administration through his connection to Jared.”

Thiel has also backed some prominent Israeli tech start-ups connected to Unit 8200, such as BillGuard, which Thiel funded along with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and other investors. BillGuard was founded by Raphael Ouzan, a former officer in Unit 8200, who serves on the board of directors of Start-Up Nation Central (SUNC) alongside neoconservative American hedge fund manager Paul Singer, neoconservative political operative and adviser Dan Senor, and Terry Kassel, who works for Singer at his hedge fund, Elliott Management.

SUNC is an organization founded by Paul Singer, who has donated heavily to both President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Since it was founded in 2012, SUNC has sought to integrate Unit 8200-connected Israeli tech start-ups into foreign companies, primarily American companies, and has helped oversee the shift of thousands of high-paying tech jobs from the U.S. to Israel.

Another Carbyne-connected individual worth noting is the former head of the Department of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, who serves on Carbyne’s board of advisers. In addition to Chertoff’s ties to DHS, Chertoff’s company, The Chertoff Group, employees several prominent former members of the U.S. intelligence community as principals, including Michael Hayden, former director of the CIA and former director of the NSA; and Charles Allen, former assistant director of Central Intelligence for Collection at the CIA, who worked at the agency for over 40 years.

The Chertoff Group has a long-standing and lucrative contract with the company OSI Systems, which produces full-body scanners and markets itself as a solution to mass shootings and crisis events, not unlike Carbyne. While Chertoff’s company was advising OSI Systems, Chertoff went on a media blitz to promote the widespread use of the machines produced by OSI Systems and even called on Congress to “fund a large-scale deployment of next-generation systems.” Chertoff did not disclose his conflict of interest while publicly promoting OSI’s full-body scanners.

Some have also alleged that Chertoff’s mother, Livia Eisen, had links to Israeli intelligence. According to her 1998 obituary, cited by both researcher/author Christopher Bollyn and journalist Jonathan Cook, Eisen participated in the Mossad operation code-named “Magic Carpet” while working for Israel’s El Al Airlines. Both Bollyn and Cook have suggested that Eisen’s participation in this covert Israeli intelligence operation strongly indicates that she had ties to the Mossad.

Melding into Silicon Valley

Beyond its troubling connections to Silicon Valley oligarchs, Israeli military intelligence and the U.S.-military industrial complex, Carbyne’s recent partnerships with two specific technology companies — Google and Cisco Systems — raise even more red flags.

Carbyne announced its partnership with Cisco Systems this past April, with the latter announcing that it would begin “aligning its unified call manager with Carbyne’s call-handling platform, allowing emergency call centers to collect data from both 911 callers and nearby government-owned IoT [Internet of Things] devices.” A report on the partnership published by Government Technology magazine stated that “Carbyne’s platform will be integrated into Cisco Kinetic for Cities, an IoT data platform that shares data across community infrastructure, smart city solutions, applications and connected devices.” The report also noted that “Carbyne will also be the only 911 solution in the Cisco Marketplace.”

As part of the partnership, Carbyne’s President of North American Operations Paul Tatro told Government Technology that the Carbyne platform would combine the data it obtains from smartphones and other Carbyne-connected devices with “what’s available through nearby Cisco-connected road cameras, roadside sensors, smart streetlamps, smart parking meters or other devices.” Tatro further asserted that “Carbyne can also analyze data that’s being collected by Cisco IoT devices … and alert 911 automatically, without any person making a phone call, if there appears to be a worthy problem,” and expressed his view that soon most emergency calls will not be made by human beings but “by smart cars, telematics or other smart city devices.”

A few months after partnering with Cisco Systems, Carbyne announced its partnership with Google on July 10, just three days after Carbyne funder Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in New York on federal sex trafficking charges. Carbyne’s press release of the partnership described how the company and Google would be teaming up in Mexico “to offer advanced mobile location to emergency communications centers (ECCs) throughout Mexico” following the conclusion of a successful four-week pilot program between Carbyne and Google in the Central American nation.

The press release also stated:


Carbyne will provide Google’s Android ELS (Emergency Location Service) in real time from emergency calls made on AndroidTM devices. Deployment for any ECC in the country won’t require any integration, with Carbyne providing numerous options for connection to their secure ELS Gateway once an ECC is approved. The Carbyne automated platform, requiring no human interaction, has the potential to save thousands of lives each year throughout Mexico.”

The reason Carybne’s partnerships with Cisco Systems and Google are significant lies in the role that Cisco and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt have played in the creation of a controversial “incubator” for Israeli tech start-ups with deep ties to Israeli military intelligence, American neoconservative donor Paul Singer, and the U.S.’ National Security Agency (NSA).

This company, called Team8, is an Israeli company-creation platform whose CEO and co-founder is Nadav Zafrir, former commander of Unit 8200. Two of the company’s other three co-founders are also “alumni” of Unit 8200. Among Team8’s top investors is Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, who also joined Peter Thiel in funding the Unit 8200-linked BillGuard, as well as major tech companies including Cisco Systems and Microsoft.

Last year, Team8 controversially hired the former head of the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, Retired Admiral Mike Rogers, and Zafrir stated that his interest in hiring Rogers was that Rogers would be “instrumental in helping strategize” Team8’s expansion in the United States. Jake Williams, a veteran of NSA’s Tailored Access Operations (TAO) hacking unit, told CyberScoop:


Rogers is not being brought into this role because of his technical experience. …It’s purely because of his knowledge of classified operations and his ability to influence many in the U.S. government and private-sector contractors.”

Team8 has also been heavily promoted by Start-Up Nation Central (SUNC). SUNC prominently features Team8 and Zafrir on the cybersecurity section of its website and also sponsored a talk by Zafrir and an Israeli government economist at the World Economic Forum, often referred to as “Davos,” that was attended personally by Paul Singer.

SUNC itself has deep ties to Israeli military intelligence, with former Unit 8200 officer Raphael Ouzan serving on its board of directors. Another example of SUNC-Unit 8200 ties can be seen with Inbal Arieli, who served as SUNC’s Vice President of Strategic Partnerships from 2014 to 2017 and continues to serve as a senior adviser to the organization. Arieli, a former lieutenant in Unit 8200, is the founder and head of the 8200 Entrepreneurship and Innovation Support Program (EISP), which was the first start-up accelerator in Israel aimed at harnessing “the vast network and entrepreneurial DNA of [Unit] 8200 alumni” and is currently one of the top company accelerators in Israel, alongside Team8. Arieli was the top executive at 8200 EISP while working at SUNC and several other top SUNC staffers are also connected to Israeli military intelligence.

Thus, Google and Cisco’s connections to Team8 suggests that their partnerships with another Israeli military intelligence-connected firm like Carbyne is a deepening of those two companies’ links to the growing bi-national security state that is uniting key players in the U.S. military-industrial complex and Israeli intelligence.

Mossad-backed Panic Buttons, coming to a school near you

Carbyne is hardly the only Israeli intelligence-linked tech company marketing itself in the United States as a solution to mass shootings. Another Israeli start-up, known as Gabriel, was founded in 2016 in response to a shooting in Tel Aviv and the Pulse Nightclub shooting in the United States, which took place just days apart.

Created by Israeli-American Yoni Sherizen and Israeli citizen Asaf Adler, Gabriel is similar to Carbyne in the sense that elements of its crisis response platform require installation on civilian smartphones as well as devices used by crisis responders. The main difference is that Gabriel also installs one or a series of physical “panic buttons,” depending on the size of the building to be secured, that also double as video and audio communication devices connected to the Gabriel network.

As with Carbyne, the ties between Gabriel and Israeli intelligence are obvious. Indeed, Gabriel’s four-person advisory board includes Ram Ben-Barak, former deputy director of the Mossad and former director-general of Israel’s intelligence ministry; Yohanan Danino, former chief of police for the state of Israel; and Kobi Mor, former director of overseas missions for the Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet. The only American on the advisory board is Ryan Petty, the father of a Parkland shooting victim and friend of former Florida Governor Rick Scott.

Gabriel’s only disclosed funder is U.S.-based MassChallenge, a start-up accelerator non-profit. Gabriel is funded by MassChallenge’s Israel branch, which was opened six months prior to Gabriel’s creation and is partnered with the Israeli government and the Kraft Group. The Kraft Group is managed by Robert Kraft, who is currently embroiled in a prostitution scandal and is also a close friend of President Trump.

Notably, one of MassChallenge Israel’s featured experts is Wendy Singer, the executive director of SUNC, the organization created and funded by neoconservative Trump backer Paul Singer with the explicit purpose of promoting Israel’s tech start-ups and their integration into foreign, chiefly American, businesses. As was noted in a recent MintPress report on SUNC, Wendy Singer is the sister of neoconservative political operative Dan Senor, who founded the now-defunct Foreign Policy Initiative with Robert Kagan and Bill Kristol, and was previously the director of AIPAC’s Israel office for 16 years.

Gabriel’s founders have been quite upfront about the fact that the uptick in shootings in the U.S. has greatly aided their company’s growth and success. Last November, Sherizen told The Jerusalem Post that new mass shootings in the U.S. not only increased U.S. demand for his company’s product but also were opportunities to show the effectiveness of Gabriel’s approach:


Unfortunately every month there seems to be another high-profile event of this nature. After the Vegas shooting, we were able to show [that] our system would have managed to identify the location of the shooter much quicker.”

The Jerusalem Post noted that Gabriel is set to make considerable profits if concern over mass shootings continues to build in the U.S., writing:


With more than 475,000 soft targets across the US and amid increasing security fears, the potential market for Gabriel is huge. The company could gain revenues of almost $1 billion if only 10% of soft targets were to invest around $20,000 in its alert systems.”

Sherizen told the Jerusalem Post:


Our starter kit costs $10,000. Depending on the size and makeup of the community building, it would cost between $20-30,000 to fully outfit the location. We have made it very affordable. This is a game-changer for the lock-down and active shooter drills that are now a standard part of any child’s upbringing in the States.”

Much more than just a start-up

While it is certainly possible that numerous former officials and commanders of elite Israeli intelligence agencies may have no ulterior motive in advising or founding technology start-up companies, it is worth pointing out that top figures in Israel’s military intelligence agencies and the Mossad don’t see it that way.

Last March, Israeli media outlet Calcalist Tech published a report entitled “Israel Blurs the Line Between Defense Apparatus and Local Cybersecurity Hub,” which noted that “since 2012, cyber-related and intelligence projects that were previously carried out in-house in the Israeli military and Israel’s main intelligence arms are transferred to companies that in some cases were built for this exact purpose.” (emphasis added)

The article notes that beginning in 2012, Israel’s intelligence and military intelligence agencies began to outsource “activities that were previously managed in-house, with a focus on software and cyber technologies.” (emphasis added)

It continues:


In some cases, managers of development projects in the Israeli military and intelligence arms were encouraged to form their own companies, which then took over the project,’ an Israeli venture capitalist familiar with the matter told Calcalist Tech.”

Notably, Calcalist Tech states that the controversial company Black Cube was created this way and that Black Cube had been contracted, and is likely still contracted, by Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The private security agency Black Cube is known to have two separate divisions for corporations and governments. The firm was recently caught attempting to undermine the Iran nuclear deal — then also a top political objective of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — by attempting to obtain information on the “financial or sexual impropriety” (i.e., blackmail) of top U.S. officials involved in drafting the accord. NBC News noted last year that “Black Cube’s political work frequently intersects with Israel’s foreign policy priorities.” As previously mentioned, one of Carbyne’s co-founders — Lital Leshem, also a veteran of Unit 8200 — worked for Black Cube prior to starting Carbyne.

One of the main companies profiled in the Calcalist Tech report appeared to be a front for Israeli intelligence, as its registered owner was found not to exist: even high-level employees at the company had never heard of him; his registered addresses were for nonexistent locations in Israel’s capital of Tel Aviv; and the three people with that name in Tel Aviv denied any association with the business.

This company — which Calcalist Tech was unable to name after the Israeli military censor determined that doing so could negatively impact Israeli “national security” — was deliberately created to service the Israeli military and Israeli intelligence. It is also “focused on cyber technologies with expertise in research and development of advanced products and applications suitable for defense and commercial entities.” (emphases added) In addition, the company’s management consists largely of “veterans of Israeli military technology units.”

Notably, a former employee of this company told Calcalist Tech that “crossing the lines between military service and employment at the commercial outfit was ‘commonplace’ while he was working at the company.”

It’s not exactly clear why Israel’s military intelligence and other intelligence agencies decided to begin outsourcing its operations in 2012, though Calcalist Tech suggests the reasoning was related to the difference in wages between the private sector and the public sector, with pay being much higher in the former. However, it is notable that 2012 was also the year that Paul Singer — together with Netanyahu’s long-time economic adviser and former chair of the Israeli National Economic Council, Eugene Kandel — decided to create Start-Up Nation Central.

As MintPress noted earlier this year, SUNC was founded as part of a deliberate Israeli government effort to counter the nonviolent Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement and to make Israel the dominant global “cyber power.” This policy is aimed at increasing Israel’s diplomatic power and specifically undermining BDS as well as the United Nations, which has repeatedly condemned Israel’s government for war crimes and violations of international law in relation to the Palestinians.

Last year, Netanyahu was asked by Fox News host Mark Levin whether the large growth seen in recent years in Israel’s technology sector, specifically tech start-ups, was part of Netanyahu’s plan. Netanyahu responded, “That’s very much my plan … It’s a very deliberate policy.” He later added that “Israel had technology because the military, especially military intelligence, produced a lot of capabilities. These incredibly gifted young men and women who come out of the military or the Mossad, they want to start their start-ups.”

Netanyahu again outlined this policy at the 2019 Cybertech Conference in Tel Aviv, where he stated that Israel’s emergence as one of the top five “cyber powers” had “required allowing this combination of military intelligence, academia and industry to converge in one place” and that this further required allowing “our graduates of our military and intelligence units to merge into companies with local partners and foreign partners.”

The direct tie-ins of SUNC to Israel’s government and the successful effort led by SUNC and other companies and organizations to place former military intelligence and intelligence operatives in strategic positions in major multinational technology companies reveal that this “deliberate policy” has had a major and undeniable impact on the global tech industry, especially in Silicon Valley.

Mossad gets its own In-Q-Tel

This “deliberate policy” of Netanyahu’s also recently resulted in the creation of a Mossad-run venture capital fund that is specifically focused on financing Israeli tech start-ups. The venture capital fund, called Libertad, was first announced by Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office and was created with the explicit purpose of “increasing the Israeli intelligence agency’s knowledge base and fostering collaboration with Israel’s vibrant startup scene” It was modeled after the CIA’s venture capital fund In-Q-Tel, which invested in several Silicon Valley companies turned government and intelligence contractors — including Google and Palantir — with a similar goal in mind.

Libertad declines to reveal the recipients of its funding, but announced last December that it had chosen five companies in the fields of robotics, energy, encryption, web intelligence, and natural language processing and text analysis. In regard to its interest in web intelligence, a Mossad employee told the Jerusalem Post that the intelligence agency was specifically interested in “innovative technologies for [the] automatic identification of personality characteristics – personality profiling – based on online behavior and activity, using methods based on statistics, machine learning, and other areas.” (emphasis added)

According to Libertad’s website, in return for its investment, now set at NIS 2 million (~$580,000) per year per company, “the Mossad will receive access to the IP [initial product] developed during R&D [Research and Development] while under contract, and a non-commercial, non-exclusive license to use it. Libertad’s contract with the company will not provide it with any additional rights.” In an interview with Calcalist Tech, Mossad Director Yossi Cohen told the paper that the Mossad’s partnership with civilian companies in Israel is “excellent” and that the agency will continue to strengthen those ties.

Israeli intelligence has a documented history in placing “backdoors” into technology products for the purpose of surveillance, with one well-known case being Israel’s repurposing of the PROMIS software, discussed in Part III of MintPress’ series on Jeffrey Epstein. Furthermore, given that U.S. intelligence, specifically the NSA, had “backdoors” placed into the products of major Silicon Valley companies (a service performed by Israeli intelligence-linked tech companies no less), Mossad may very well plan on doing the same with the technology products of companies it backs through Libertad.

Tim Shorrock, investigative journalist and author of Spies For Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing, told MintPress that the Mossad’s continuation of such practices through Libertad was definitely plausible, especially given what Shorrock described as the “unusual” choice of Libertad choosing not to release the identities of the companies in which it invests.

“The Mossad is trying to hide what they are investing in,” Shorrock stated, adding that Libertad’s secrecy “raises a lot of questions” particularly given that it was modeled after the CIA’s In-Q-Tel. Shorrock noted that In-Q-Tel and other venture capital funds with ties to U.S. intelligence or the U.S. military rarely, if ever, hide the identities of the companies they finance.

However, Libertad is merely the latest and most public expression of the Mossad’s interest in Israeli tech start-ups, the lion’s share of which are created by veterans of Unit 8200 or other Israeli intelligence agencies. Indeed, former Mossad Director Tamir Pardo stated in 2017 that “everyone” in the Israeli cybertechnology sector is an “alumni” of either Israeli intelligence, like the Mossad, or Israeli military intelligence, like Unit 8200. Pardo even went as far as to say that the Mossad itself is “like a start-up.”

Pardo himself, after leaving his post as Mossad director in 2016, dove straight into the world of Israeli tech start-ups, becoming chairman of Sepio Systems, whose two CEOs are former Unit 8200 officers. Sepio Systems’ advisory board includes the former chief information security officer of the CIA, Robert Bigman; former member of the U.S. Military’s Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), Geoff Hancock; and former head of the Israel National Cyber Bureau and veteran of Israeli military intelligence, Rami Efrati. Sepio Systems’ cybersecurity software has been adopted by several banks, telecom and insurance companies, including in the U.S. and Brazil.

Pardo is not the only prominent figure in Israel’s intelligence community to compare Israeli intelligence agencies to tech start-ups. Shin Bet Director Nadav Argaman described Israel’s domestic spy agency in similar terms. “The Shin Bet is like an evolving start-up, with unmatched strength,” Argaman stated in a June 2017 speech, as he extolled the agency’s use of “pre-crime” technology to detain Palestinians based on their social media activity.

Argaman, at the time, claimed that more than 2,000 Palestinians, whom he described as “potential lone-wolf terrorists,” had been arrested as a result of these “breakthrough technological advances” that use artificial-intelligence algorithms to monitor the social media accounts of Palestinians, especially younger Palestinians, for the use of “tripwire” phrases that have been used by Palestinians who later committed acts of violence. In the case of those who use such terms, “their phones are tracked to see if they meet other suspects, or leave their districts to move towards potential Israeli targets. In such cases, security forces detain the suspect,” according to a 2017 report on the practice by The Economist.

The road to fascism, paved by a corrupted PROMIS

Though Israeli intelligence’s interest in tech companies goes back several years, there is a well-documented history of Israeli intelligence using bugged software to surveil and gain “backdoor” access to government databases around the world, particularly in the United States.

As was mentioned in Part III of MintPress’ Epstein series, a sinister yet cunning plan was executed to place a backdoor for Israeli intelligence into the Prosecutor’s Management Information System (PROMIS) software, which was then being used by the U.S. Department of Justice and was the envy of government agencies, particularly intelligence agencies, around the world. This bugged version of PROMIS — born out of the collusion between Earl Brian, Ronald Reagan’s then-envoy to Iran, and Rafi Eitan, then-director of the now-defunct Israeli intelligence agency Lekem — was seeded around the world by Brian’s company Hadron as well as by Mossad-linked media mogul Robert Maxwell, father of Jeffrey Epstein’s long-time girlfriend and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.

After this first PROMIS “backdoor” was discovered, Israel would again gain access to sensitive U.S. government communications, as well as civilian communications, thanks to the collusion between Israeli intelligence and Israeli telecom and tech companies, especially Amdocs and Comverse Infosys (now Verint), that were operating throughout the United States. Today, Unit 8200-linked start-ups appear to have taken up the torch.

While the PROMIS software is perhaps best known for offering Israeli intelligence a backdoor into as many as 80 intelligence agencies and other sensitive locations around the world for nearly a decade, it was also used for a very different purpose by prominent officials linked to Iran-Contra.

One key Iran-Contra figure — Lt. Col. Oliver North, then serving on the National Security Council — decided to use PROMIS neither for espionage nor for foreign policy. Instead, North turned PROMIS’ power against Americans, particularly perceived dissidents, a fact that remained unknown for years.

Beginning in 1982, as part of the highly classified Continuity of Government (COG) program, North used the PROMIS software at a 6,100-square-foot “command center” in the Department of Justice, as well as at a smaller operations room at the White House, to compile a list of American dissidents and “potential troublemakers” if the COG protocol was ever invoked.

According to a senior government official with a high-ranking security clearance and service in five presidential administrations who spoke to Radar in 2008, this was:


A database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived ‘enemies of the state’ almost instantaneously.”

In 1993, Wired described North’s use of PROMIS in compiling this database as follows:


Using PROMIS, sources point out, North could have drawn up lists of anyone ever arrested for a political protest, for example, or anyone who had ever refused to pay their taxes. Compared to PROMIS, Richard Nixon’s enemies list or Sen. Joe McCarthy’s blacklist look downright crude.”

The COG program defined this “time of panic” as “a national crisis, such as nuclear war, violent and widespread internal dissent, or national opposition to a US military invasion abroad,” whereby the government would suspend the Constitution, declare martial law, and incarcerate perceived dissidents and other “unfriendlies” in order to prevent the government’s (or then-serving administration’s) overthrow.

This secretive database has often been referred to as “Main Core” by government insiders and, most troubling of all, it still exists today. Journalist Christ Ketcham, citing senior government officials, reported in 2008 that, at that time, Main Core was believed to contain the names of as many as 8 million Americans. Eleven years later, it is highly likely that the number of Americans included in the Main Core database has grown considerably.

Author and investigative journalist Tim Shorrock also covered other disturbing aspects of the evolution of Main Core back in 2008 for Salon. At the time, Shorrock reported that the George W. Bush administration was believed to have used Main Core to guide its domestic surveillance activities following the September 11 attacks.

Citing “several former U.S. government officials with extensive knowledge of intelligence operations,” Shorrock further noted that Main Core — as it was 11 years ago at the time his report was published — was said to contain “a vast amount of personal data on Americans, including NSA intercepts of bank and credit card transactions and the results of surveillance efforts by the FBI, the CIA and other agencies.”

Bill Hamilton, former NSA intelligence officer and the original creator of the PROMIS software, told Shorrock at the time that he believed that “U.S. intelligence uses PROMIS as the primary software for searching the Main Core database” and had been told as much by an intelligence official in 1992 and an NSA official in 1995. Dan Murphy, former deputy director at the CIA, had told Hamilton that the NSA’s use of PROMIS was “so seriously wrong that money alone cannot cure the problem.” “I believe in retrospect that Murphy was alluding to Main Core,” Hamilton had told Shorrock.

Though most reporting on Main Core, from the time its existence was first revealed to the present, has treated the database as something used by the U.S. government and U.S. intelligence for domestic purposes, MintPress has learned that Israeli intelligence was also involved with the creation of the Main Core database. According to a former U.S. intelligence official with direct knowledge of the U.S. intelligence community’s use of PROMIS and Main Core from the 1980s to 2000s, Israeli intelligence played a role in the U.S. government’s deployment of PROMIS as the software used for the Main Core domestic surveillance database system.

Israeli intelligence remained involved with Main Core at the time of the August 1991 death of journalist Danny Casolaro, who was investigating not only the government’s misuse of the stolen PROMIS software but also the Main Core database. This same official, who chose to remain anonymous, told MintPress that, shortly before his death, Casolaro had obtained copies of computer printouts from the PROMIS-based Main Core domestic surveillance database system from NSA whistleblower Alan Standorf, who was found murdered a few months before Casolaro’s lifeless body would be found in a West Virginia hotel room.

The source also stated that Main Core’s contents had been used for the political blackmail of members of Congress and their staff, journalists, and others by Walter Raymond, a senior CIA covert operator in psyops and disinformation who served on President Reagan’s National Security Council during and after Main Core’s creation. If used for this purpose by Raymond in the 1980s, Main Core has also likely been used by other individuals with access to the database for blackmailing purposes in the years since.

Given that Israeli intelligence was known to have placed a backdoor into the PROMIS software, before it was marketed and sold around the world by Earl Brian and Robert Maxwell, its role in the U.S. government’s decision to use PROMIS in the creation of Main Core suggests that Israeli intelligence likely advocated for the version of PROMIS containing this backdoor, thereby giving Israeli intelligence access to Main Core. Given that Reagan aides and officials colluded with Israeli “spymaster” Rafi Eitan in his efforts to create a backdoor into the software for Israeli military intelligence, the use of this version of PROMIS in the Main Core database is certainly plausible.

Furthermore, the fact that Israeli intelligence was known to be involved in Main Core nearly a decade after its creation suggests that Israeli intelligence may have played a role in certain aspects of the database, such as the criteria used to flag Americans as “unfriendly,” and — like Walter Raymond — may have used information in the database to blackmail Americans. In addition, the fact that the cooperation between U.S. and Israeli intelligence, particularly between Unit 8200 and the NSA, has only grown since 1991 further suggests that Israeli involvement in Main Core continues to the present.

While Main Core’s very existence is troubling for many reasons, the alleged involvement of a foreign intelligence service in the creation, expansion and maintenance of a database with personal details and potentially damaging information on millions of Americans targeted for detention or increased surveillance in times of crisis is chilling. It is especially so considering that the Trump administration’s latest proposals to prevent mass shootings before they occur are likely to use Main Core to flag certain Americans for increased surveillance or potentially detention, as was done by the George W. Bush administration following the September 11 attacks.

It appears that Main Core serves a dual purpose; first as a mass targeted surveillance system to crush dissent during times of “national crisis” — whether spontaneous or engineered — and, second, as a massive blackmail database used to keep every potential opponent in line during non-emergencies.

Peter Thiel’s Seeing Stone

As was mentioned earlier in this report, Palantir — the company co-founded by Peter Thiel — is set to profit handsomely from the Trump administration’s plans to use its “pre-crime” technology, which is already used by police departments throughout the country and also used to track Americans based on the company’s integrative data-mining approach. Palantir, named for the “seeing stones” in the Lord of the Rings novels, also markets software to foreign (and domestic) intelligence agencies that predicts the likelihood that an individual will commit an act of terrorism or violence.

Aside from its “pre-crime” products, Palantir has come under fire in recent years as a result of the company’s contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), where it created an intelligence system known as Investigative Case Management (ICM). The IB Times described ICM as “a vast ‘ecosystem’ of data to help immigration officials in identifying targets and creating cases against them” and also “provides ICE agents with access to databases managed by other federal agencies.” ICM further gives ICE access to “targets’ personal and sensitive information, such as background on schooling, employment, family relationships, phone records, immigration history, biometrics data, criminal records as well as home and work addresses.” In other words, Palantir’s ICM is essentially a “Main Core” for immigrants.

Notably, part of Oliver North’s original intentions in “Main Core” was to track immigrants then coming from Central America as well as Americans who opposed Reagan era policy with respect to Central America. At that time, Main Core was believed to be controlled by the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), which is now part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

VICE News reported in July that the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, which is run by DHS, “serves around 300 communities in northern California and is what is known as a ‘fusion center,’ a Department of Homeland Security intelligence center that aggregates and investigates information from state, local, and federal agencies, as well as some private entities, into large databases that can be searched using software like Palantir. “ VICE further noted that this center alone used Palantir to surveil as many as 8 million Ameicans. There are many more such DHS “fusion centers” throughout the United States.

If the Trump administration moves forward with its proposal of employing technology to detect potential mass shooters before they strike, Palantir’s technology is set to be used, given that it has already been used by U.S. law enforcement and U.S. intelligence to determine which people run “the highest risk of being involved in gun violence,” according to an investigation of Palantir by The Verge. Furthermore, Palantir’s close ties to the Trump administration make the company’s role in a future nationwide “pre-crime” prevention system based on technology appear inevitable.

Worse still is the apparent overlap between Palantir and Main Core. Palantir — which has obvious similarities to PROMIS — is already known to use its software to track potential terror threats, including domestic terror threats, and a category of people it refers to as “subversives.” Palantir’s tracking of these individuals “is all done using prediction.” Palantir’s close ties to the U.S. intelligence community suggest that Palantir may already have access to the Main Core database. Tim Shorrock told MintPress that Palantir’s use of Main Core is “certainly possible,” particularly in light of the company’s use of the term “subversive” to describe a category of people that its software tracks.

Palantir also has alleged ties to Israeli intelligence, as there have long been suspicions that Israeli intelligence has used Palantir as part of its AI “pre-crime” algorithms targeting Palestinians after Palantir opened a research and development (R&D) center in Israel in 2013. The current head of Palantir Israel, Hamultal Meridor, previously founded a brain-machine interface organization and was senior director of web intelligence at Verint (formerly Comverse Infosys), which has deep connections to Unit 8200, a history of espionage in the United States and was one of the two companies contracted by the NSA to insert a “backdoor” into the U.S. telecommunications system and popular products of major American tech companies.

Given the above, Peter Thiel’s 2018 decision to fund Carbyne, the Unit 8200-linked start-up that markets itself as a technological solution to mass shootings in the U.S., strongly suggests that Thiel has been anticipating for some time the now-public efforts of the Trump administration to employ “pre-crime” technology to track and target Americans who show signs of “mental illness” and “violent tendencies.”

A nightmare even Orwell could not have predicted

In early August, in the wake of the shooting at an El Paso Walmart, President Trump called on big tech companies to collaborate with the Justice Department in the creation of software that “stops mass murders before they start” by detecting potential mass shooters before they cnm act. Though Trump’s ideas were short on specifics, there is now a new proposal that would create a new government agency that will use data gathered from civilian electronic devices to identify “neurobehavioral” warning signs, thereby flagging “potential shooters” for increased surveillance and potentially detention.

This new agency, as proposed by the foundation led by former NBC Universal president and vice chairman of General Electric Robert Wright, would be known as the Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA) and would be modeled after the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Per the proposal, recently detailed by the Washington Post, the flagship program of HARPA would be “Safe Home” (Stopping Aberrant Fatal Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes), which would use “breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence,” specifically “advanced analytical tools based on artificial intelligence and machine learning.”

The program would cost an estimated $60 million over four years and would use data from “Apple Watches, Fitbits, Amazon Echo and Google Home” and other consumer electronic devices, as well as information provided by health-care providers to identify who may be a threat.

The Washington Post reported that President Trump has reacted “very positively” to the proposal and that he was “sold on the concept.” The Post also noted that Wright sees the president’s daughter, Ivanka, as “the most effective champion of the proposal and has previously briefed her on HARPA himself.” Ivanka has previously been cited as a driving force behind some of her father’s policy decisions, including his decision to bomb Syria after an alleged chemical weapons attack in 2017.

Liz Fed — president of the Susan Wright Foundation, which is led by Robert Wright and created the proposal for HARPA and “Safe Home” — told The Post that the proposal emulated DARPA because “DARPA is a brilliant model that works. They have developed the most transformational capabilities in the world for national security…We’re not leveraging the tools and technologies available to us to improve and save lives.” Fed further asserted that DARPA’s technological approach had yet to be applied to the field of healthcare.

For anyone familiar with DARPA, such claims should immediately sound loud alarm bells, especially since DARPA is already developing its own solution to “mental health” issues in the form of a “brain-machine interface” as part of its N3 program. That program, according to reports, involves “noninvasive and ‘minutely’ invasive neural interfaces to both read and write into the brain,” help distance soldiers “from the emotional guilt of warfare” by “clouding their perception” and “to program artificial memories of fear, desire, and experiences directly into the brain.” Though N3 is intended to improve the prowess of American soldiers, it is also set to be used as a means of pursuing DARPA’s Systems-Based Neurotechnology for Emerging Therapies (SUBNETS) project, which aims to “to develop a tiny, implanted chip in the skull to treat psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, PTSD and major depression.”

Given that HARPA’s lead scientific adviser is Dr. Geoffrey Ling, former director and founder of DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office (BTO), which “merges biology, engineering, and computer science to harness the power of natural systems for national security,” it seems likely that DARPA’s neurological-focused research programs, like SUBNETS and N3, would be folded into HARPA’s portfolio, making the proposed agency’s approach to mental health very questionable indeed.

Aside from the dystopian nature of both DARPA and potentially HARPA’s approach to mental health, there is grave cause for concern regarding the Trump administration’s moves to address U.S. mass shooting events by implementing pre-crime technology based on artificial intelligence, data-mining and mass surveillance, technologies already laying in wait thanks to companies like Palantir and numerous Israeli tech start-ups led by former Unit 8200 officers.

With companies like Carbyne — with its ties to both the Trump administration and to Israeli intelligence — and the Mossad-linked Gabriel also marketing themselves as “technological” solutions to mass shootings while also doubling as covert tools for mass data collection and extraction, the end result is a massive surveillance system so complete and so dystopian that even George Orwell himself could not have predicted it.

Following another catastrophic mass shooting or crisis event, aggressive efforts will likely follow to foist these “solutions” on a frightened American public by the very network connected, not only to Jeffrey Epstein, but to a litany of crimes and a frightening history of plans to crush internal dissent and would-be dissenters in the United States.

The Secret History of the Mossad

“Not only have Mossad’s secret agents killed more people than the agents of any other state since World War II, but the pace has rapidly increased, with some 800 operations in the past decade…"

…by Jonas E. Alexis and Mark Dankof

Mark Dankof is the former 36th District Chairman of the Republican Party in King County/Seattle. He was an elected delegate to Texas State Republican Conventions in 1994 and 1996 and entered the United States Senate race in Delaware in 2000 as the nominated candidate of the Constitution Party against Democratic candidate Thomas Carper and Republican incumbent William Roth


JEA: The Mossad has been assassinating perceived enemies since its inception,[1] and they make no apology for their essentially diabolical enterprise.[2] They have assassinated Iranian scientists, and even former president Barack Obama had to ask the Israelis to stop killing people they do not like.[3]
Even the Daily Mail, of all places, reported that Israel, “a country born in bloodshed, has become the leader in assassinations.”[4] Taking its cues from Ronen Bergman’s Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations, the Daily Mail continues to say:
“Not only have Mossad’s secret agents killed more people than the agents of any other state since World War II, but the pace has rapidly increased, with some 800 operations in the past decade…
“One operation in 1968 was directly inspired by the film The Manchurian Candidate, with Mossad hiring a Swedish-born psychologist to brainwash a Palestinian prisoner into murdering Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
“The psychologist picked a suitable prisoner and spent three months hypnotising him with the simple message: ‘Arafat bad. He must be removed’. The prisoner, known only as Fatkhi, was trained to shoot at pictures of Arafat, hidden in a specially prepared room. On December 19, 1968, a Mossad team smuggled Fatkhi across the River Jordan, from where he was supposed to infiltrate Arafat’s headquarters.
“Then they waited. Five hours later, news came. Fatkhi had wasted no time. He had gone straight to a police station and accused Mossad of trying to brainwash him. The operation was an abject failure.”[5]
I have argued elsewhere that the Mossad is a pernicious organization that will do virtually any wicked thing—including propounding deliberate lies and falsifications, assassinating scientists, sabotaging nuclear facilities, corrupting computers with viruses such as Stuxnet, spreading bloodshed in the name of “defense,” making alliances with terrorist organizations such as the MEK, using fake passports and documents to infiltrate countries and assassinate individuals, playing semantics and manipulating public opinion, spying on “friends” such as America, cooperating with dictators, and launching “terrorizing campaigns” at “European experts”[6]—in order to complete the Zionist dream. Some of these covert and wicked activities have been going on for over sixty years.
Jewish writers Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman try very hard not to say that the Mossad acts like terrorists, but there is an actual team from within the Mossad called Kiddon that practiced not only covert operations but the assassination of perceived enemies.[7] Most of the assassinations are approved by the prime minister. A classic example would be the strategic plan to assassinate the late Yasser Arafat.[8]
The central point here is that Jewish assassination didn’t start in the twentieth century. It got its start in the first century. One can historically say that Jewish terrorism began during the Second Temple era with the Hashmonai family. During the Hellenistic period, they “conducted an ongoing campaign of guerilla warfare against Hellenistic rule in Israel,” though terrorism was a small fraction of their campaign.[9]
/

Their first terrorist act was the assassination of a Hellenistic envoy named Apelles, who was sent to the town of Modi’in to remind the inhabitants of the policy of assimilation advanced by Antiochus IV.
Although this particular band of terrorists did not last long, many such terrorist cells came and went throughout the first century, recruiting for one purpose or another. Members of one band, Bar Giora, “were involved primarily in robbing and pillaging the property of the local aristocracy.”[10]
So the Mossad is just the culmination of Israeli terrorism. Mark Dankof, what is your assessment? Can you talk about Gordon Thomas’ Gideon Spies as well?

MD: Orthodox Lutherans are not known as enthusiastic supporters of the existence of the State of Israel, or of the political and exegetical arguments advanced for its place in the world by one of the most diverse coalitions ever assembled in history. After reading Gordon Thomas’ meticulously researched tome, Gideon’s Spies-The Secret History of the Mossad, they will be even less so inclined.
Thomas, the gifted author of Journey into Madness, Pontiff, and Chaos under Heaven, provides the reader with initial and concluding sections of information that may well serve the uninitiated best by being read prior to chapters 1 through 17 as preparatory information to set the stage and context of the actual narrative itself.
The first of these is the Glossary which precedes the first chapter. Here the novice to the world of intelligence generally and to Israeli intelligence specifically is treated to a list of 107 terms and acronyms which provide an effective briefing and synopsis of the diabolical world of espionage and intelligence wars between Israel and its adversaries into which Thomas subsequently introduces the serious reader.
Among these terms is The Institute–the formal name of Mossad-Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations; originally called Institute for Coordination. Some of the remaining listings in the Glossary are suggestive of what the reader will learn in the chapters to follow.
These include better world–a euphemism for killing an enemy agent; send a person on vacation–to injure him/her-the extent of the injury depends on whether the `vacation’ is to be brief or long; blow-back–fake stories fed to foreign news media; honey trap–sexual entrapment for intelligence purposes; kidon–an operative specializing in assassination; and measles–an assassination that appears to stem from natural causes.

The second section that should be read prior to beginning chapter 1 are the concluding Notes on Sources and Select Bibliography. These concluding sections acquaint the reader with the professional background of Gordon Thomas, the disturbing significance and unquestioned credentials of his sources, and the wealth of previous work and research on intelligence which the author has conducted prior to the initiation of Gideon’s Spies.
In Notes and Sources, Thomas references a conversation with a Mossad katsa which may underscore the reader’s own evolving feelings about the clandestine world of operational intelligence after 337 pages of riveting text:
“I still remember completing a long interview with a former katsa who provided an account of how he had killed. Suddenly he looked around at the comfortable living room with its views of a biblical landscape and sighed deeply and said, ‘This world is not this world.’
“The words have stayed with me. I think that what he meant was that, compared to his former work, beneath ordinary rhythms and appearances of life, a darkness and menace had never left him. I found that with several of the others with whom I spoke. It was a sobering reminder that the world of intelligence is, as Saint Paul glimpsed heaven, all too often indeed ‘seen through a glass, darkly.’”

A palpable, inescapable sense of darkness and menace may well begin to subsequently permeate and engulf the reader of this engaging, fascinating, but terrifying chronicle. Especially sobering are the portions of the narrative which document the role of the United States and its intelligence community in a long-standing supportive alliance with the Mossad through some of the latter’s most hideous operations abroad.
Pages 29 and 30 of chapter 2 document the cementing of this clandestine collaboration in 1954 during an official meeting between then Mossad Director General Isser Harel and Allen Dulles of the American Central Intelligence Agency:
“Another coup came when he [Harel] traveled to Washington in 1954 to meet Allen Dulles, who had just taken over the CIA. Harel presented the veteran spymaster with a dagger bearing the engraved word of the psalmist: ‘the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers or sleeps.’ Dulles replied: ‘You can count on me to stay awake with you.’
“These words created a partnership between Mossad and the CIA. Dulles arranged for Mossad to have state-of-the-art equipment: listening and tracking devices, remote-operated cameras, and a range of gadgets that Harel admitted he never knew existed. The two men also formed the first intelligence ‘back-channel’ between their two services, through which they could communicate by secure phone in the case of any emergency. The channel effectively bypassed the normal diplomatic route, to the chagrin of both the State Department and the Israeli foreign ministry.”
As Thomas proceeds to demonstrate, this collaboration would continue to the present, despite the paradoxical exposure in recent years of Israeli intelligence operations within the borders of its most significant ally that have clearly been to the detriment of the national security interests of the latter.
And it would survive the revelations about the activities of the Mossad abroad which raise the most compelling questions of American complicity or acquiescence in Israeli sponsored acts of murder, kidnapping, torture, electronic surveillance, theft, and military occupation which clearly violate known tenets of international law, along with a developed body of orthodox Christian and Jewish moral axioms which would seem to be contraindicated by the motives and methods of the participants in the secret wars and counterinsurgencies of nation-states.
Thus, from genesis to conclusion, Thomas’ weaves a multitude of the most questionable and sinister plots and operations into the unfolding 17 chapter portrait of the mind and actions of the masters of Mossad and the Israeli intelligence mosaic. All are compelling. Three (3) in particular serve to provide the reader with a core mass of data with which to re-assess the wisdom and morality of the actions of both Israel and the United States in the international arena since 1948.
These include first, the “cold approach” in June-August of 1997 of a Mossad katsa to Henri Paul, the substance abusing director of security of the Ritz Hotel and the ill-fated driver on August 31, 1997 of the car carrying Princess Diana and boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed, along with Paul, to their deaths on the westbound roadway of the underpass beneath the place de l’Alma in Paris.
At the time of the crash, according to Thomas, Mossad’s desire to recruit Paul as an active agent/source was rooted in its knowledge of Paul’s expensive vices, susceptibility to bribery, and the Israelis’ desire for a highly placed source at the hotel widely known as a “meeting place for Middle Eastern arms brokers and their European contacts.”
Thomas raises the unanswerable question as to whether or not the Mossad pressure on Paul and the latter’s disintegrating mental and emotional state played a role in the tragedy and accompanying fatalities. The author outlines the concern that:
“Some of Maurice’s [Mossad katsa in Paris] colleagues have increasingly felt that the attempt to entrap Henri Paul was additional proof that Mossad has lurched a little further out of control, carrying out reckless international operations without taking into account the potential long-term consequences for itself, for Israel, for peace in the Middle East, and, ultimately, for the relationship with the Jewish state’s oldest and closest ally, the United States of America. Several officers claimed that since Benyamin Netanyahu became prime minister in 1996, matters have worsened.”
Secondly, Thomas chronicles the most daring pre-Jonathan Pollard Mossad operation launched against the United States after the inception of the Jewish state in 1948–the purloining of 100 pounds of fissionable material from an Apollo, Pennsylvania based nuclear material processing company, for employment at Dimona in the Negev Desert. The silver-domed, thinly disguised nuclear plant had been publicly proclaimed by Ben-Gurion as a “pumping station” to turn the desert into an “agricultural paradise by desalinating a billion cubic gallons of seawater annually.”
In reality, as was well known within both Israel and the United States, the Dimona operation was from the beginning an attempt at the acquisition of nuclear weaponry for the Jewish state. This recognition reached into the White House itself, where Thomas informs the reader that in February of 1961, President John Kennedy wrote to Ben-Gurion suggesting that Dimona should be regularly inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
What followed would be a primer for Mossad penetration of the United States and the compromise of the latter’s national security interests and secrets. Ben-Gurion would recruit Abraham Feinberg, a Zionist supporter of Israel’s nuclear aspirations and not coincidentally, the leading Jewish fund-raiser for the Democratic Party in America and an important financial backer of the Dimona project. As Thomas puts it:
“Feinberg’s method was straightforward political pressure–the kind that had already infuriated Kennedy when he was running for office. Then, Feinberg had bluntly told him: ‘We are willing to pay your bills if you will let us have control of your Middle East policy.’ Kennedy had promised to ‘give Israel every possible break.’
“Feinberg had agreed to provide an initial campaign contribution of five hundred thousand dollars—‘with more to come.’ Now he used the same direct approach: if President Kennedy continued to insist on an inspection of Dimona, he should ‘not count on Jewish financial support in the next political election.’ . . .
“The president did at the last minute grant two concessions. In return for access to Dimona, the United States would sell Israel Hawk surface-to-air missiles, then the most advanced defensive weapon in the world. And the inspection need not be carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency, but by an American-only team–that would have to schedule its visit weeks in advance.”
Thirdly, Thomas underscores in chapter 10 of Gideon’s Spies, the incredible story of the Mossad recruitment and subsequent alleged physical elimination of Robert Maxwell, the British media magnate of the Mirror Newspaper Group.
As the sordid tale emerges, Maxwell is shown to have purchased the Newspaper Group with money lent to him by Mossad. After the acquisition of the papers, Maxwell began a sophisticated embezzlement scheme aimed at the pension fund of his own employees, to finance Mossad operations throughout the European theater.
Thomas also outlines the role of Maxwell in the world-wide promotion of Promis, a computer program designed to increase the world-wide computer surveillance capabilities of police and intelligence agencies worldwide. The relationship of the Institute to one of its leading media moguls in the world would sour, however, with the developing financial problems of the Maxwell empire, his envelopment in signs of increasing mental and emotional instability, and the derivative concerns of Mossad that Maxwell had evolved from asset to a potentially dangerous liability and embarrassment.
On October 29, 1991, Maxwell received orders from Israeli intelligence in Madrid to come to Spain, fly to Gibraltar, and board his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, for a subsequent sailing to the Canary Islands. Thomas tells the reader what happened next:
“In what it claimed was a ‘world exclusive,’ headlined ‘How and Why Robert Maxwell Was Murdered,’ Britain’s Business Age magazine subsequently claimed that a two-man hit team crossed in a dinghy during the night from a motor yacht that had shadowed the Lady Ghislaine.
“Boarding the yacht, they found Maxwell on the afterdeck. The men overpowered him before he could call for help. Then, ‘one assassin injected a bubble of air into Maxwell’s neck via his jugular vein. It took just a few moments for Maxwell to die.’ . . . More certain, on the night of November 4-5, Mossad’s problems with Maxwell were laid to rest in the cold swell of the Atlantic. . .
“On November 10, 1991, Maxwell’s funeral took place on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, the resting place for the nation’s most revered heroes. It had all the trappings of a state occasion, attended by the country’s government and opposition leaders. No fewer than six serving and former heads of the Israeli intelligence community listened as Prime Minister Shamir eulogized: ‘He has done more for Israel than can today be said.’”
Thomas’s book has only one glaring weakness-its obvious omission of any investigation or reference to the rumors of strong intelligence connections between the Mossad and some of American Protestant Evangelicalism’s leading lights, who have served to evangelize their faithful in the gospel of incessant support for the modern State of Israel.
Has Mossad influenced or purchased some of America’s leading television evangelists, authors, and pastors? Does American Evangelicalism have its own versions of an owned-and-handled Robert Maxwell, putting a well-financed and desired pro-Israel political spin into the print pages and electronic media outlets of the mainstream political and religious right at the behest of a foreign intelligence agency?
Thomas would have provided a public service to the Christian public specifically and the American people generally had he explored this long suspected link, complete with names and documented money and paper trails. A sequel is definitely in order. Reading Gideon’s Spies is an enlightening and fascinating experience.
For the post-World War II American conservative movement, and for the religious right long influenced by the teachings of the school of prophetic interpretation known as dispensational premillennialism, the work serves as a warning–of the dangers of an uncritical support of the American and Israeli political, military, and intelligence establishment’s agenda worldwide, and the dangers of equating support for the modern State of Israel and its “this-world” methodology with the Kingdom of God and the latter’s eternality, transcendence, holiness, and ethics.

Treasury Dept. Sanctions Diva Sigal Mandelker, Exposed as Israeli Mole, Resigns in Disgrace
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor

When the FBI called me up to request an in-person interview—and to warn me I would be arrested if I attended a scholarly conference in Beirut—I told them the person they should be investigating was Sigal Mandelker, the suspected Israeli agent running the US Treasury Department’s sanctions program. Israeli-born dual citizen Mandelker was using her perch at Treasury to persecute loyal, patriotic Americans and deprive them of their rights of free speech and free association. Specifically, she had engineered a witch hunt against Iran-based NGO New Horizon, leading to that organization being spuriously designated as a sanctioned entity, and preventing Americans like me from attending annual New Horizon conferences, including the one held last weekend in Beirut.

I wasn’t the only one to tell the FBI to investigate Mandelker. Former Defense Department official Michael Maloof, ex-CIA officer Philip Giraldi, ex-State Department diplomat J. Michael Springmann, ex-USAF/NSA translator Scott Rickard, Culture Wars editor E. Michael Jones, and journalist Sander Hicks all offered the same advice.

Did honest FBI agents take our advice? Did the Bureau, tasked with persecuting Mandelker/Israel’s political enemies, start asking too many good questions? Did Mandelker’s perch at Treasury become a proverbial hot seat?

One way or another, it seems that having a born-in-Israel Zionist fanatic running the US sanctions program became a political liability. Yesterday Mandelker “offered her resignation.”

Mandelker (and the Israeli spy network that arranged for her appointment in the first place) should have been arrested, not just fired. But that major housecleaning operation will have to wait till another day.

For more information on the Mandelker-vs.-New-Horizon scandal, read these articles:

Haaretz/Israel: Newsweek Reporter Calls Reporting on Israel and Jewish Organizations a ‘Third Rail’

Posted on January 25, 2019January 25, 2019 Author VT EditorsComments(3) 266 Views
A national politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, tweeted that Israeli- and Jewish-linked organizations — along with Israel itself — are on “the third rail of American journalism.”
The phrase “third rail” refers to the untouchable rail on mass transit systems, suggesting negative stories about Jews and Israel are too hot to handle.
Burleigh did not respond to an inquiry from JTA asking her to elaborate on the tweet.
The tweet was in response to a thread by author Sarah Kendzior listing several stories she said were “undercovered.” A few of the stories involved President Donald Trump and Chabad, the Hasidic outreach movement; Black Cube, a private intelligence firm that employs former agents of Israel’s Mossad spy agency; and Jeffrey Epstein, a Jewish financier and registered sex offender.
Kendzior asserted that “the press seems particularly reluctant to pursue these [stories]. Which is not surprising since those who do write about them are threatened.” By whom, she did not say.
“Interesting thread,” Burleigh replied. “To answer your final question, Israel, mossad, Chabad and black cube … you’re hitting the third rail of American journalism, Sarah.”
Yair Rosenberg, a Tablet magazine writer who tweets about anti-Semitism, wrote that Burleigh was suggesting that “the Jews are behind Trump.”
Burleigh is no stranger to Jews and Israel. She has reported on the ground from West Bank settlements for Time magazine and also covered the Barack Obama-era peace process. In 2008, she wrote a nonfiction book, “Unholy Business,” about archaeology and forgery in Jerusalem.
In 2012, she suggested in a column for Salon that “a historic pile of money” could endear some American Jews to Obama.
“A certain segment of stridently pro-Israel American Jewry has long been convinced that Obama is ‘bad for Israel’ – the single issue that can make or break a candidate seeking funds and votes from one powerful and politically active demographic,” she wrote. “Perhaps a historic pile of money wins them back, perhaps not.”

NEO – Mueller and Trump, Why Russia didn’t do it

We got the details of what it was really for quickly, by good people who watch out for such things. Israeli Intelligence was constantly attacking the Pentagon, thinking that anything being withheld from them was “unfair”. and being done by anti-Semites. From Wiki:
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, and headed by Feith, as charged by then-United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, to supply senior George W. Bush administration officials with raw intelligence (unvetted by intelligence analysts, see Stovepiping) pertaining to Iraq.[1] A similar unit, called the Iranian Directorate, was created several years later, in 2006, to deal with intelligence on Iran.[2]

What used to be a very secretly done thing, rigging policy decisions by feeding fake intel into the highest level of decision makers, some of it ordered like a fast food meal, went mainstream.
Slipping seeded “raw Intel” into the information up take is done constantly in the shadow warfare, which is why very skilled analysts historically vet what passes by them before hitting the desks of decision makers.
Israel Intel has been very skilled at seeding Intel going to US decision makers
Israeli Intel operatives have a field day doing this, and we believe did so with the full knowledge of many member of the Bush top command. There was no investigation despite both Wolfowitz and Feith having strong Israeli Intel connections.

While corporate media has covered the Russian social media charges of election interference by Russia, it has not printed anything about the major Western countries, led by the US and Britain, having done it for ages.
The also have had deep penetrations into social media, via members of the Eskimo tribe, which no one is supposed mention. Almost all of the free press community has also been waived off from covering this, leaving the public with not defenders

Breaking: Newsweek reporter resigns after accusing the Mossad-controlled fake news outlet of complicity in Syrian gas attack

Introduction

In 2017, Newsweek accused Veterans Today and its Senior Editor, Gordon Duff, of working for Russian military intelligence, operating a job service that gathers names of US military to be targeted for recruiting into terror cells to attack Americans citizens using car bombs and assassinations.

Newsweek is owned by Jane Harman. This is what Wikipedia says about her, after extensive editing of the real truth by troll farms in Israel, a nation Harman holds a passport from:

“2009 wiretap/AIPAC allegations

In 2009, it was revealed NSA wiretaps reportedly intercepted a 2005 phone call between Harman and an agent of the Israeli government, in which Harman allegedly agreed to lobby the Justice Department to reduce or drop criminal charges against two employees of AIPAC in exchange for increased support for Harman’s campaign to chair the House Intelligence Committee.[14] The NSA transcripts reportedly recorded Harman ending the phone call after saying, “this conversation doesn’t exist.”[15] It was reported that Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General at the time of the phone call, blocked Justice Department lawyers from continuing the investigation into Harman (in spite of the alleged crime) because the Bush administration “needed Jane” to support their warrantless wiretapping program, which was soon to be revealed to the public by The New York Times.[16]”

Our information, received from FBI officials, say that Harman was acting as a handler for Soviet superspy Jonathan Pollard (not an Israeli spy) who is responsible for the torture and killing of the CIA’s entire intelligence operation in then Eastern Europe and Russia, hundreds of agents and sources, numbering a total of nearly 1200.

The same combined Soviet-Israeli spy operation looted America’s nuclear secrets, but they weren’t delivered to Russia but rather Israel and aided in the design of weapons, according to FBI sources, used on 9/11.

Now we find Newsweek complicit in the White Helmets coverup, along with other Israeli controlled news organizations including Reuters, who helped plan and stage fake gas attacks and, according to our extremely extensive sources inside Syria, many “on the ground” in terrorist occupied Idlib Province, may have murdered hundreds of civilians as well. A story from the Russian press, one censored in the US:


Sputnik News: A shadow has been cast upon the chemical weapons watchdog’s findings regarding the alleged Douma attack in 2018 since WikiLeaks published a leaked email from one of the body’s investigators, who argued that the probe’s findings have not been correctly represented in a report by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).


Tareq Haddad, a reporter for Newsweek, stated that he has left the organisation over the latter’s unwillingness to publish his “newsworthy revelations” about the leaked letter of an OPCW employee concerning a report on the alleged Douma chemical attack in Syria.

The journalist accused his former employer of acting in a biased way by “suppressing” his story about the leaked letter along with some evidence in another article, which contained “info inconvenient to the US government” despite it being “factually correct”, while releasing other stories related to the OPCW probe. A Newsweek spokesperson commented on Haddad’s accusations in response to a Fox News’ request for comment, stating that “the writer pitched a conspiracy theory rather than an idea for objective reporting” and that this pitch was rejected by the outlet’s editors.

Haddad didn’t elaborate any further on what information was allegedly muzzled by Newsweek, but announced his intention to publish the full story “shortly”. He also showed interest in revealing facts proving that Newsweek had originally suppressed the story, but said his former employer threatened him with legal action, citing “confidentiality clauses” in his contract.

The reporter said he is currently seeking legal advice on how to proceed and is looking for some kind of “whistleblower protection”. He added that at the very least he will publish evidence without “divulging the confidential information”.

OPCW Mail Leak

According to Haddad, the story suppressed by Newsweek was supposed to talk about the email from a member of the OPCW fact-finding mission sent to Douma, Syria to determine if prohibited chemical weapons were used in the alleged attack on it by Damascus in April 2018. In this email, published by the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks, the investigator asks the OPCW to publish the unedited version of their report, arguing that it has “morphed into something quite different to what was originally drafted”.

The author of the email pointed out that the report didn’t contain evidence casting a shadow over accusations that Damascus used a chlorine agent in the attack since residual chemicals could be a part of household chlorine-based bleach and the exposure symptoms, shown on a notorious video published by the terrorist-affiliated White Helmets, didn’t correspond with witness testimony.

The leaked email also recalled that the fact-finding mission doubted the cylinders, which allegedly contained chlorine gas, were dropped from an aircraft as was claimed by the Syrian opposition, citing damage inconsistent with these claims.

OPCW defended its report, arguing that all the concerns expressed by its employees had been taken into consideration when the organisation drafted the final report.

False-Flag Douma Attack

An investigation into the alleged use of chemical weapons by Damascus was opened in light of the video published by the White Helmets, an NGO often spotted working with Syria-based terrorist groups, and a showing purported chemical gas attack in Douma, Syria on 7 April 2018. The footage showed the White Helmets administering unknown medicine and pouring water on several people at a local hospital, including children to allegedly treat them for the effects of attack.

The video was then broadcast by a majority of mainstream media outlets despite Damascus dismissing it as “staged” and assuring it never used chemical weapons against its own population. The Syrian government recalled that its entire chemical arsenal was destroyed under OPCW supervision after similar accusations were made against Damascus in 2013. However, Damascus could not guarantee that some chemical weapons didn’t remain in the hands of armed militant groups and terrorists, who seized and controlled significant parts of the country at the time.

The footage was used by the US, UK, and France to justify massive missile strikes against Syrian military targets, accusing its government of the atrocity despite a preliminary OPCW report not being ready.

Damascus Unsurprised by Revelations About Redacted OPCW Report on Duma Attack – Ambassador

The watchdog’s report claimed that chemicals were used in the alleged attack, but failed to attribute it to any forces, acting on Syrian territory.

In a stunning revelation preceded by a six-month investigation, BBC Syria producer Riam Dalati stated on 13 February that the White Helmets’ video had been staged and that there in fact had been no fatalities in Douma on that day. His investigation also showed that sarin gas was not used in Douma although the producer was not sure about chlorine.

From Russia Today:

RT/Moscow: A reporter for Newsweek says he has quit his job after his editor allegedly refused to publish an article about an internal email that raises serious questions about the OPCW’s findings on an alleged gas attack in Douma, Syria.


“Yesterday I resigned from Newsweek after my attempts to publish newsworthy revelations about the leaked OPCW letter were refused for no valid reason,” Tareq Haddad tweeted out on Saturday.

The recently-leaked document contradicts key conclusions in a report by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), about the April 2018 chemical weapons attack in Douma. The incident was blamed on Damascus and was used by the US and its allies to justify airstrikes against Syrian military installations.

The email, sent by an OPCW inspector who participated in the Douma probe, outlines several instances in which facts discovered by his team had been distorted or suppressed in the OPCW’s draft report, resulting in “an unintended bias” in the resulting text.

In a series of follow-up tweets, the former Newsweek journalist said that he had “collected evidence of how they suppressed the story,” adding that he also had evidence that the outlet had cut material, in a separate incident, because the information was “inconvenient to the US government” – even though it was factually correct.

ALSO ON RT.COMOPCW report on Douma chemical incident omitted & misrepresented key facts, leaked email by dissenting inspector shows

Tareq claims that he was threatened with legal action after he’d asked his editor why his story about the damning leak had been refused.

Since making the announcement, the now-unemployed reporter has received accolades for his journalistic integrity. His story has also caught the attention of several prominent journalists, including Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens, who has been a fierce critic of western media’s coverage of the Douma attack.

Reporting on Epstein’s sordid work for Mossad has become an official thought crime

Today on TruNews we discuss the takeover of American society at the hands of a political ideology armed with graphic sex tapes and compendiums of compromising material.

We detail how the raping of kids and the hijacking of our nation has become a sacred idol worshipped by the political and spiritual elite.

We detail how reporting on Epstein’s sordid work for Mossad has become an official thought crime, and will ultimately lead to the de-platforming of all Christians unwilling to betray Jesus Christ.

Benjamin Fulford: Israel Commits Suicide by Declaring War on China

The battle to liberate planet Earth is reaching a dangerous stage as the Khazarian mafia uses bioweapons to try and start a war between the United States and China. However, this plan is backfiring because both the Chinese and the white hats in the military-industrial complex know exactly who is behind the bioweapon attacks on China and now Africa.

P3 Freemason sources say Israeli Crime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is leading the latest attempt to start World War III and kill off 90% of humanity. Pentagon sources, while not naming Netanyahu in particular, also point the finger at the government of Israel. If the Israelis wish to avoid collective punishment, they need to hand Netanyahu and his mass-murdering accomplices over to the Chinese for interrogation, CIA sources say.

In a sign that total war has now been declared on the Khazarian Mafia, both Pentagon and Asian secret society sources have gone silent. Multiple attempts to confirm independently what is going on in China for example, were met with “radio silence.” One regular Pentagon source says, “Other than former Joint Chiefs of Staff chair Joe Dunford, who now sits on the board of Lockheed, there is no intel and this may continue for a while.”

There is also an unprecedented campaign of censorship going on regarding the bioweapon attack on China. For example, the following paragraph was deleted from a Hong Kong-based news site: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has officially demanded that the United States explain why biohazard containers were found buried in the evacuated consulate general in Wuhan. The PRC security forces cordoned off other U.S. diplomatic missions in the country.”

Only the censored version of the article missing this text can now be seen at: https://www.dimsumdaily.hk/russian-scientists-believe-america-created-the-wuhan-coronavirus-to-sabotage-china/

Also last week, the Indian scientists who reported they had found HIV viruses artificially inserted into the new coronavirus infecting China were threatened with death by Mossad agents and forced to retract their paper, according to Mossad sources. Apparently somebody powerful in Israel is desperate to cover up the fact this was a bioweapon attack on China.

Of course, the world is not buying the story that this is a naturally occurring coronavirus. The Muslims know what is going on, as do the Russians and the Indians. So does everybody else, except a shrinking group of brainwashed sheeple in the West.
