U.S. should be the world’s policeman
When there is no effective alternative,
democratic countries have an ethical and humanitarian duty to threaten
to use military force and, if there is no other option, to actually use
it.
The United States should not be the world's policeman, or so U.S. President Barack Obama
argued in his address to the nation on September 10, in which he
explained his position on military intervention in the Syrian civil war.
The president is wrong. In light of the history and doctrine of the use
of force and military intervention, the United States, along with other
enlightened democracies in possession of military might, should and
must be the world's policeman.
The
horrors of World War II taught us certain lessons. One led to the
formation of the United Nations, for the purpose of preserving world
peace and creating a mechanism for dialogue among states. Another
resulted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which eventually
gave rise to binding international treaties meant to protect human
rights. But some questions remain: Do the lofty goals that inspired the
establishment of the United Nations mean that the international
community has a duty to intervene and raise the alarm
in the event of the commission of war crimes or the use of weapons of
mass destruction? (...)
It is legitimate to question whether intervention might lead to
international escalation. Nevertheless, isolationism in cases where
intervention is a moral necessity is supposed to be a thing of the past,
of a
time when states did not want to get bogged down in distant countries
even in the event of war crimes. If this attitude becomes prevalent once
again, it will be to the detriment of the entire world. It goes without
saying that diplomacy, itself a form of intervention, is preferable as
long as it is effective and not a kind of Munich Pact, as U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry noted in reference to Syria.
At
the end of the day, America, together with other strong democratic
countries, is indeed supposed to be the world's policeman - insofar as
it is acting on behalf of the fundamental principles on which the United
Nations was founded, even when political exigencies preclude obtaining
UN approval. When there is no effective alternative or pressure must be
exerted to kick-start diplomacy, democratic countries have an ethical
and humanitarian duty to threaten to use military force and, if there is
no other option, to actually use it. Proportionally, of course, but
also effectively, in compliance with the two leading criteria of
military law.

Why real whistleblowers can no longer exist
Sott.net --- This
NSA-whistleblower-government-spying scandal is hard for many to digest.
On one level, I am an idealist too. I would like to believe that a lone
whistleblower can pull a fast one on the NSA/CIA/Mossad axis. But I
know that it cannot be. People find it hugely difficult to accept that
the world is now so unrelentingly corrupt that the true extent of this corruption cannot be exposed and overturned by any whistleblowing.

This article is a compilation of a number of pieces I’ve written about Ed Snowden and the NSA. It doesn’t replace them, but it hits the high points…
Let’s begin here: If you absolutely must have a hero, watch Superman movies.
If your need for a hero is so great, so cloying, so heavy, so juicy that it swamps your curiosity, don’t read this.
If you can’t separate Snowden’s minor revelations from the question of who he is, if you can’t entertain the notion that covert ops and intelligence-agency games are reeking with cover stories, false trails, and limited hangouts, you need more fun in your life.
NSA? CIA? These guys live for high-level bullshit. They get down on their knees and worship it. They fall into a suicidal funk if they aren’t lying on at least three or four levels at once.
Okay. Let’s look at Snowden’s brief history as reported by The Guardian. Are there any holes?

this story ‘broke’ (despite being old news as far back as 9/11) suddenly
the US government has ‘decided’ that Syria–the country Israel is

While we took satisfaction in seeing government and corporate crimes come back to haunt their perpetrators, SOTT.net remained cautious about lauding Assange or the WikiLeaks organisation as heroic. What did any of the 'Iraq War Logs' or U.S. State Department 'diplomatic cables' reveal that was not already publicly available information? Obviously some details were new, but they didn't change the fact that the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq was illegal under international law and that everyone involved had either committed or were ancillary to war crimes. Nor did anything so damaging come out to bring the perpetrators to justice or to catalyse real political change that would actually improve ordinary people's welfare.
Things, as you may have noticed in recent years, have only gotten worse for the masses.
So is Edward Snowden, the U.S. National Security Agency whistleblower currently 'on the run' after disclosing 'top secret documents' to major media outlets, a hero or traitor? Is he neither? We discussed this and more in last Sunday's SOTT Talk Radio show on the NSA leaks. Have a listen:

Israeli high-tech firms Verint and Narus have had connections with U.S. companies and Israeli intelligence in the past, and ties between the countries’ intelligence agencies remain strong.
Haaretz
Were Israeli companies Verint and
Narus the ones that collected information from the U.S. communications
network for the National Security Agency?
The question arises amid
controversy over revelations that the NSA has been collecting the phone
records of hundreds of millions of Americans every day, creating a
database through which it can learn whether terror suspects have been in
contact with people in the United States. It also was disclosed this
week that the NSA has been gathering all Internet usage – audio, video,
photographs, emails and searches – from nine major U.S. Internet
providers, including Microsoft and Google, in hopes of detecting
suspicious behavior that begins overseas.
According to an article in the
American technology magazine “Wired” from April 2012, two Israeli
companies – which the magazine describes as having close connections to
the Israeli security community – conduct bugging and wiretapping for the
NSA.
Verint, which took over its
parent company Comverse Technology earlier this year, is responsible for
tapping the communication lines of the American telephone giant
Verizon, according to a past Verizon employee sited by James Bamford in
Wired. Neither Verint nor Verizon commented on the matter.
Natus, which was acquired in 2010
by the American company Boeing, supplied the software and hardware used
at AT
T wiretapping rooms, according to whistleblower Mark Klein,
who revealed the information in 2004. Klein, a past technician at
ATT who filed a suit against the company for spying on its
customers, revealed a “secret room” in the company’s San Fransisco
office, where the NSA collected data on American citizens’ telephone
calls and Internet surfing.
T wiretapping rooms, according to whistleblower Mark Klein,

ATT who filed a suit against the company for spying on its
customers, revealed a “secret room” in the company’s San Fransisco
office, where the NSA collected data on American citizens’ telephone
calls and Internet surfing.
Klein’s claims were reinforced by
former NSA employee Thomas Drake who testified that the agency uses a
program produced by Narus to save the personal electrical communications
of ATT customers.
T customers.
Both Verint and Narus have ties
to the Israeli intelligence agency and the Israel Defense Forces
intelligence-gathering unit 8200. Hanan Gefen, a former commander of the
8200 unit, told Forbes magazine in 2007 that Comverse’s technology,
which was formerly the parent company of Verint and merged with it this
year, was directly influenced by the technology of 8200. Ori Cohen, one
of the founders of Narus, told Fortune magazine in 2001 that his
partners had done technology work for the Israeli intelligence.
International intel
The question of whether
intelligence communities outside the United States were involved has
been raised. According to The Guardian, the Government Communications
Headquarters (GCHQ), Britain’s intelligence agency, secretly collected
intelligence information from the world’s largest Internet companies via
the American program PRISM. According to a top secret document obtained
by The Guardian, GCHQ had access to PRISM since 2010 and it used the
information to prepare 197 intelligence reports last year. In a
statement to the Guardian, GCHQ, said it “takes its obligations under
the law very seriously.”
According to The Guardian,
details of GCHQ’s use of PRISM are set out in a 41-page PowerPoint
presentation prepared for senior NSA analysts, and describe a “snooping”
operation that gave the NSA and FBI access to the systems of nine
Internet giants, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo and
Skype.
Given the close ties between U.S.
and Israeli intelligence, the question arises as to whether Israeli
intelligence, including the Mossad, was party to the secret.
Obama stands by spies
At turns defensive and defiant, U.S. President Barack Obama stood by the spy programs revealed this week.
He declared Friday that his
country is “going to have to make some choices” balancing privacy and
security, launching a vigorous defense of formerly secret programs that
sweep up an estimated 3 billion phone calls a day and amass Internet
data from U.S. providers in an attempt to thwart terror attacks.
Obama also warned that it will be
harder to detect threats against the United States now that the two
top-secret tools to target terrorists have been so thoroughly
publicized.
“Nobody is listening to your
telephone calls,” Obama assured the nation after two days of reports
that many found unsettling. What the government is doing, he said, is
digesting phone numbers and the durations of calls, seeking links that
might “identify potential leads with respect to folks who might engage
in terrorism.” If there’s a hit, he said, “if the intelligence community
then actually wants to listen to a phone call, they’ve got to go back
to a federal judge, just like they would in a criminal investigation.”
Tapping thwarted terror attack
While Obama said the aim of the
programs is to make America safe, he offered no specifics about how the
surveillance programs have done this. House Intelligence Committee
Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., on Thursday said the phone records sweeps
had thwarted a domestic terror attack, but he also didn’t offer
specifics.
U.S. government sources said on
Friday that the attack in question was an Islamist militant plot to bomb
the New York City subway system in 2009.
Obama asserted his administration
had tightened the phone records collection program since it started in
the George W. Bush administration and is auditing the programs to ensure
that measures to protect Americans’ privacy are heeded – part of what
he called efforts to resist a mindset of “you know, `Trust me, we’re
doing the right thing. We know who the bad guys are.’”
But again, he provided no details on how the program was tightened or what the audit is looking at.
Obama: 100% privacy is impossible
The furor this week has divided
Congress, and led civil liberties advocates and some constitutional
scholars to accuse Obama of crossing a line in the name of rooting out
terror threats.
Obama, himself a constitutional
lawyer, strove to calm Americans’ fears – but also remind them that
Congress and the courts had signed off on the surveillance.
“I think the American people
understand that there are some trade-offs involved,” Obama said when
questioned by reporters at a health care event in San Jose, California.
“It’s important to recognize that
you can’t have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent
privacy and zero inconvenience,” he said. “We’re going to have to make
some choices as a society. And what I can say is that in evaluating
these programs, they make a difference in our capacity to anticipate and
prevent possible terrorist activity.”
Obama said U.S. intelligence
officials are looking at phone numbers and lengths of calls – not at
people’s names – and not listening in.
The two classified surveillance
programs were revealed this week in newspaper reports that showed, for
the first time, how deeply the National Security Agency dives into
telephone and Internet data to look for security threats. The new
details were first reported by The Guardian and The Washington Post, and
prompted Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to take the
unusual and reluctant step of acknowledging the programs’ existence.
Obama echoed intelligence experts
– both inside and outside the government – who predicted that potential
attackers will find other, secretive ways to communicate now that they
know that their phone and Internet records may be targeted.
ECHELON, according to information in the European Parliament document, "On the existence of a global system for the interception of private and commercial communications (ECHELON interception system)" was created to monitor the military and diplomatic communications of the Soviet Union and its Eastern Bloc allies during the Cold War in the early 1960s[...]Echelon was created long before the War [of] Terror and prior to the arrival of the Internet, meaning that back then there was no need for thorough "shaping of the public opinion", no need for media to be an overt whore for the military or intelligence agencies. NSA, CIA, Mossad, MI5, etc. just did their bloody thing and didn't worry much about whistleblowers. Of course, there were always trouble-makers, but everything was manageable (various coup d'états, COINTELPRO projects, assassinations, etc... piece of cake!), not to mention using the wonderfully silver-tongued concept of "plausible deniability", which came in handy, oh so often. In any event, in the public's eyes, intelligence agencies still had an aura of mystique about them. Hey, who wouldn't want to be a secret agent or a spy?
Bamford describes the system as the software controlling the collection and distribution of civilian telecommunications traffic conveyed using communication satellites, with the collection being undertaken by ground stations located in the footprint of the downlink leg.[...]
The UK/USA intelligence community was assessed by the European Parliament (EP) in 2000 to include the signals intelligence agencies of each of the member states: UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands.[...]
Israeli Involvement in NSA Spying
June 11, 2013
Warrantless dragnet spying is lawless
It doesn't surprise. On June 8, Haaretz headlined "What was the Israeli involvement in collecting US communications intel for NSA?" More on that below.
On April 3, 2012, James Bamford headlined "Shady Companies with Ties to Israel Wiretap for US for the NSA."
He
said NSA chief General Keith Alexander's "having a busy year." He's
"cutting ribbons at secret bases and bringing to life the agency’s
greatly expanded eavesdropping network."
"In January he dedicated the new $358
million CAPT Joseph J. Rochefort Building at NSA Hawaii, and in March he
unveiled the 604,000-square-foot John Whitelaw Building at NSA
Georgia."
It's for around "4,000 earphone-clad
intercept operators, analysts and other specialists, many of them
employed by private contractors."
Spies "R" Us defines US policy. NSA's "mammoth 1-million-square-foot, $2 billion Utah Data Center is far more sweeping."
It's located at Camp Williams. It's a
Utah National Guard training facility. Once fully operational, says
Bamford, it'll "become, in effect, the NSA Cloud."
It'll receive data from NSA satellites,
overseas listening posts, and nationwide multiple No telecom facility
monitoring rooms. What's planned is an unprecedented global spy network.
NSA operatives and hackers will harvest
around 2.1 million gigabytes of data per hour. It'll do so on the
world's most powerful computer.
It's call Titan Supercomputer. It can
handle over 20,000 trillion calculations per second or 20 petaflops. One
petaflop = one quadrillion instructions per second.
Supercomputer power will be used to collect and analyze foreign and domestic communications from all possible sources.
Two
Israeli companies are involved. High-tech firms Verint and Narus have
longstanding US/Israeli intelligence connections. For many years, Verint
was a majority-owned Comverse Technology subsidiary.
Both companies have about half their
employees in Israel. In August 2012, Verint acquired Comverse. It now
operates independently.
It makes security software. It calls itself "a global leader in Actionable Intelligence solutions."
Narus calls itself a cybersecurity
company. It's an independent Boeing subsidiary. It provides real-time
network traffic and analytics software. It does so with enterprise class
spyware capabilities.
In 1997, it was founded in Israel. It
created NarusInsight. It's a supercomputer system. A previous article
said AT&T uses it at their secret San Francisco facility. It lets
NSA spy on its customers.
Verint's software also is used
to do it. Bamford called it "especially troubling that both companies
have had extensive ties to Israel, as well as links to (its)
intelligence service."
A previous article discussed Israeli
spying on America. The CIA calls Israel America's main regional spy
threat. An Israeli-based CIA operative once found food in his
refrigerator rearranged.
Washington knows what's going on.
Publicly it's ignored. Pre-9/11, the FBI uncovered a massive US-based
Israeli spy ring. It remains active.
It betrays America. Numerous Israeli
citizens are involved. They have close ties to foreign military,
criminal and intelligence sources. They reportedly breach US laws with
impunity.
Israel's featured prominently in annual
FBI reports. It actively seeks proprietary/secret US information. It's
mainly on military systems and advanced computer applications.
Proprietary commercial and industrial
data are stolen. Israel recruits spies. Sophisticated methods are used.
Computers are hacked for information.
Washington's Government Accountability
Office (GAO) said Israel "conducts the most aggressive espionage
operation against the United States of any US ally."
The Pentagon accused Israel of
"actively engag(ing) in military and industrial espionage in the United
States. An Israeli citizen working in the US who has access to
proprietary information is likely to be a target of such espionage."
FBI
whistleblower John Cole said Justice Department officials ordered
dozens of Israeli espionage cases dropped. At issue was political
pressure.
Washington gives Israel billions of
dollars in annual aid, state-of-the-art weapons and technology, and
numerous other special privileges. In return, it steals US state and
commercial secrets.
Despite longstanding close ties,
Washington considers Israel both ally and counterintelligence threat. In
terms of technical capability and human resources, it matches America's
best.
It has access to the highest US
political, military and intelligence sources. Bamford said NSA-developed
advanced analytical/data-mining software was lawlessly given Israel.
An Operations Directorate technical
director did so secretly. Apparently Israeli companies got access.
Technology they got advanced their own.
Narus once boasted about being "known
for its ability to capture and collect data from the largest networks
around the world." Unexplained was that stolen software facilitates is
capabilities.
Retired Israeli General Hanan
Gefen ran its secret Unit 8200. It's Israel's NSA equivalent. He
admitted Israeli ties to Comverse.
At the time, it owned Verint. It owns
other Israeli high-tech companies. They specialize in eavesdropping and
surveillance. They operate globally.
According to Gefen, the "correlation
between serving in the intelligence Unit 8200 and starting successful
high-tech companies is not coincidental."
"Many of the technologies in use around
the world and developed in Israel were originally military technologies
and were developed and improved by Unit veterans."
Kobi Alexander founded Verint.
He formerly served as chairman. He's a fugitive. FBI accusations include
fraud, theft, lying, bribery, money laundering and related crimes.
Two of his top Comverse associates were
indicted on similar charges. Both were imprisoned. They paid millions
of dollars in fines and penalties.
NSA claims it takes malfeasance and other legitimate complaints seriously. Spying technology and expertise take precedence.
Bamford says take NSA assurances cautiously. "Who's listening to the listeners," he asks?
Haaretz asked if Verint and Narus "collected information from the US communications network" for NSA?
Neither company responded when asked. Former senior NSA official-turned whistleblower Thomas Drake exposed fraud, waste, abuse and other lawless agency practices.
They relate to warrantless data-mining
practices. In April 2010, he was indicted under the Espionage Act.
Charges included "willful retention of classified information,
obstruction of justice, and making false statements."
After a May 22, 2011 60 Minutes
broadcast, all charges were dropped. In return, Drake pled guilty to a
minor misdemeanor. He was sentenced to one year probation and community
service. He lost his high-paying NSA job and pension.
On March 15, 2013, he spoke at the National Press Club. He focused on First Amendment rights. In part he said:
"The threats to the First
Amendment by the government is bull’s eye-centered on a free unfettered
press designed to suppress and repress speech and political expression
in America, create fear through privilege and unilateral authority over
what is fit or unfit for the First Amendment."
"If speech becomes the
instrument of crime when revealing government crime and wrongdoing, we
are under arbitrary authoritarian rule and not the rule of law."
"I can make an argument that
government increasingly prefers to operate in the shadows and finds the
First Amendment a constraint on its activities."
"And yet, taking off the veil
of government secrecy has more often than not turned truth-tellers and
whistleblowers into turncoats and traitors, who are then often
criminally burned and blacklisted and broken by the government on the
stake of national security."
"I knew too much truth and exposed government illegalities, fraud and abuse and was turned into a criminal for doing so."
"I was charged under the Espionage Act, faced many years in prison and became an enemy of the state."
"It was five years of living
under the boot of the Surveillance State, and yet I was saved by the
First Amendment and the court of public opinion and the free press,
including the strength and growing resiliency of the alternative media."
"Do we really want the
government listening in on and tracking the lives of so many others?
Have our constitutional freedoms become the latest victims of 9/11?"
"Will national security replace
our individual rights? Will fear take priority over freedom? Will
government censorship and propaganda triumph over personal choice and
disclosure, use suppression repression?"
"If we starve liberty for the increasingly myopic sake of security, what will we have left to defend?"
If truth-telling is criminalized, freedom no longer exists.
Drake corroborated information AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein and others reported. Spies "R" Us reflects US policy.
Drake verified NSA's use of Narus
techology. Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)
collects intelligence from major US Internet companies. They do it via
Prism electronic surveillance.
Officially it's called US-984XN. It's
used for sweeping domestic and foreign spying. It's the main source for
raw NSA intelligence. It's top secret for good reason. Now it's
existence is publicly known.
Mossad's longstanding ties to
Verint, Narus, and other Israeli surveillance technology companies
assures it access to information they collect.
It's true wherever these companies
operate. America has 16 active intelligence agencies. They operate the
same way. Warrantless dragnet spying is lawless.
Freedom pays the greatest price. It’s
disappearing in plain sight. It’s heading for the dustbin of history
without legitimate resistance enough to stop it. Nothing less has a
chance.

[Jewish Fanatic] Eric Cantor ducks on PRISM
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Monday wouldn’t say whether he knew about the National Security Agency’s PRISM surveillance system , noting there are a number of classified programs the government uses.
Asked by “CBS This Morning” host Norah O’Donnell whether he knew about PRISM before the disclosures, the No. 2 Republican in the House said, “There are a variety of classified programs that exist for us to, again, guard against a terrorist threat."

Report suggests Israel behind attempt to hack into French communication networkWas ISRAEL behind the hacking of millions of French phones and NOT the U.S.? Extraordinary twist in spying saga revealed Israel and not America was behind the hacking of millions of French phones, it was claimed today. In the latest extraordinary twist in the global eavesdropping scandal, Israeli agents are said to have intercepted more than 70 million calls and text messages a month. Up until now the French have been blaming the U.S., even summoning the country’s Paris ambassador to provide an explanation. But today’s Le Monde newspaper provides evidence that it was in fact Israeli agents who were listening in. France first suspected the U.S. of hacking into former president Nicolas Sarkozy’s communications network when he was unsuccessfully trying for re-election in 2012. Intelligence officials Bernard Barbier and Patrick Pailloux travelled from Paris to Washington to demand an explanation, but the Americans hinted that the Israelis were to blame.The Americans insisted they have never been behind any hacking in France, and were always keen to get on with the French, whom they viewed as some of their closest allies. They were so determined to be friends with the French, that U.S. briefing notes included details of how to pronounce the names of the Gallic officials. A note published in Le Monde shows that the Americans refused to rule out Mossad, Israel’s notoriously uncompromising intelligence agency, or the ISNU, Israel’s cyber-intelligence unit. Tailored Access Operations (TAO), the branch of the US National Security Agency (NSA) which deals with cyber-attacks, is referred to throughout the note. It reads: ‘TAO intentionally did not ask either Mossad or ISNU whether they were involved as France is not an approved target for joint discussions.’ Le Monde’s article, co-authored by U.S. journalist Glenn Greenwald, whose main contact is NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, however, hints that the Israelis were doing the spying. Both US and French intelligence work closely with Mossad, but there is known to be a great deal of suspicion between all the agencies. A 2008 NSA note says that the Israelis are ‘excellent partners in terms of sharing information’, but it also says that Mossad is ‘the third most aggressive intelligence service in the world against the United States’. A spokesman for the Israeli government told Le Monde: ‘Israel is a country which is a friend, ally and partner of France and does not carry out any hostile activity which could pose a threat to its security.’ France has complained in the past about Mossad's use of its soil to plan so called black operations including the 2010 assassination in Dubai of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh of the Palestinian movement Hamas.(...)

US spying ‘gives ammunition’ to Netanyahu to derail Obama agenda
Netanyahou va récupérer et instrumentaliser les révélations sur l'espionnage américain (Snowden et compagnie). Les révélations de Snowden sont-elles une victoire pour nous? Ou bien est-ce que l'instrumentalisation de ces révélations par Netanyahou n'est pas justement la raison pour laquelle les médias JUIFS ont décidé de donner le porte-voix à Snowden au lieu de l'étouffer comme ils ont étouffé TOUS les autres sonneurs d'alarme avant lui?
Si vous vous demandez pourquoi les médias juifs ont choisi de donner le porte-voix à Snowden, pourquoi ils ne l'ont pas juste bâillonné comme ils font toujours d'habitude, et bien la voilà votre réponse: c'est que ça fait grandement l'affaire de Netanyahou car l'espionnage américain lui donne une occasion en or d'attaquer Obama tout en évitant de se mettre à dos les Américains et tout en mettant le peuple américain pratiquement de son bord, contre Obama... Ça va être le plus beau Noël de Netanyahou.
ln Israel, Greenwald reveals whose agenda he is serving
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 10 — whose biggest shareholder, cosmetics billionaire Ronald Lauder, is President of the World Jewish Congress — Greenwald criticized “the continued imprisonment of Jonathan Pollard,” who was sentenced to life in prison in 1987 after passing more than a million highly classified documents to Israel while working as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy. (Incidentally, Channel 10 owner Lauder is also a supporter of clemency for Pollard.) As reported today by Haaretz, here’s what Greenwald told his Israeli audience about the spy, who, in the words of former CIA officer Philip Giraldi, “did more damage to the United States than any spy in history”
AMERICAN FREE PRESS
Revelations About NSA Spying on Israel Could Possibly End in Release of Traitor
By Victor Thorn
In a shocking new disclosure that is guaranteed to send the Israeli lobby in the U.S. into apoplexy, Glenn Greenwald of Britain’s Guardian newspaper—the primary recipient of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden’s leaks—is reporting that U.S. intelligence agencies regularly spied on top Israeli officials in order to keep tabs on its plans for a possible attack on Iran.
After scores of documents leaked by Snowden were made public last year, U.S. surveillance practices conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA) have faced heavy criticism from world leaders.
This backlash won’t be lessening any time soon.
According to Snowden, NSA officials collaborated with the UK’s central spy agency, GCHQ, to directly monitor the email accounts of Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
An Israeli military intelligence outlet known as Debka verified the NSA’s practices in an October 2013 report.
“[The Agency] had a single narrow focus: to pick up the slightest murmur or clue suggesting that Israel was about to launch an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites,” reported Debka.
The Israeli news agency added that spies were instructed to scrutinize “any orders placed suddenly for large quantities of aircraft fuel, or the import of unusual amounts of emergency medical equipment.”
Although no one can be certain of what materials Greenwald may next release, on Jan. 9 AFP spoke with a source in Boston that requested his name be withheld.
Characterizing himself as a rabbi who has consulted on Mideast peace negotiations in the past, the source told AFP: “In professional circles, intelligence people know that everyone’s trying to get information about everyone else. So, it’s not surprising that the U.S. is spying. Israel does the same thing to protect [its] interests.”
One interesting aspect of the NSA-Israeli relationship that will always be a sore spot involves the latest push to free convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, who in 1987 received a life sentence for committing treason against the U.S.
Since Pollard’s imprisonment, Israeli politicians, especially Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have made appeals for his release. Although every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan has denied these requests, on Dec. 27, 2013 Secretary of State John Kerry floated the possibility of freeing Pollard in exchange for 26 Arab inmates held in Israeli custody.
Even Greenwald himself seems to be shilling for Pollard’s freedom, claiming that Israeli leaders are correct in their attempts to link NSA spying revelations with this notorious agent’s pardon.
On Jan. 11, AFP contacted Joseph Bishop, an international teacher who has taught English in Russia and the Ukraine. When asked about Kerry offering Pollard as a bargaining chip, Bishop replied:
“This move says that Kerry has no principles. He’d give up anything.”
Expanding further on this thought, Bishop asserted: “Netanyahu is the primary reason why Pollard is even on the table. To me, it seems that talks about Pollard are a gesture of compromise or conciliation by the Obama administration, almost like a quid pro quo since they haven’t invaded Syria or Iran. Pollard’s possible freedom almost seems like an expression of sorrow or guilt that the NSA spied on Israel.”
Was NSA monitoring Israeli spies? (Est-ce pour ça que les médias en parlent enfin de l'espionnage de la NSA? Parce que cela déplaît grandement à Israël et à son réseau international d'espionnage?)
Lawmakers accuse Snowden of being ‘Russian spy’
ed note–it goes without saying, but nevertheless keep in mind as you consider this statement that both of these individuals are in the paid service of the State of Israel, making THEM in effect ‘spies’ as well.
Snowden, un "espion russe"? Il est toujours important de brouiller les pistes. Sauf quand le but est d'intimider... Or ici Israël et son réseau mondial d'espionnage ne cherche pas à nous intimider, il cherche à obtenir notre appui dans son combat contre la NSA, donc il doit brouiller les pistes.
John McCain: Young people upset about NSA spying because we’ve forgotten 9/11
Who’s really afraid of NSA surveillance? Israel does! Peut-être que la NSA était sur le point de sortir publiquement des infos hautement compromettantes au sujet des activités criminelles et/ou d'espionnage d'Israël lorsque le scandale Snowden a été coulé dans les médias juifs, afin que mettre la NSA au centre de la vindicte populaire... Ceci alors que la NSA fait un boulot nécessaire pour protéger le pays contre ses ennemis tels qu' Israël et l'Arabie Saoudite!
