23 July 2010 By Jeff Gates Less than two weeks prior to the mass murder of
September 11, 2001, the Israeli government made a $1
million grant to Israeli super-spy Jonathan Pollard.
In retrospect, the facts suggest that grant may well
have served as a signal to Israeli operatives inside
the U.S. On July 13, 2010, in observance of Pollard’s 9000th
day of incarceration, the Jerusalem municipality
dimmed the lights illuminating the Old City. This
gesture of Israeli solidarity included a projection
onto the darkened walls of a message urging that
President Obama release their spy from prison. Thus the concern among knowledgeable intelligence
operatives that this Pollard commemoration may mean
that another Israeli operation is underway. On March 4, 1987, this Israeli-American was
sentenced to life imprisonment for conveying to Israel
more than 1 million classified U.S. military
documents. Tel Aviv passed those secrets on to Moscow. In practical effect, this Israeli espionage
jettisoned not only America’s Cold War defense
strategy, it also jeopardized the entirety of NATO’s
defense posture. From 1948 to 1989, U.S. taxpayers invested $20
trillion in Cold War-related defense (in 2010
dollars). In practical effect, an Israeli spy
operation negated those outlays. Following Pollard’s
arrest in 1986, Israel repeatedly assured U.S. leaders
that he was part of a rogue spy operation. Not until 12 years later did Tel Aviv concede the
obvious: Pollard was an Israeli spy the entire time.
According to Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, “[It
is] difficult to conceive of a greater harm to
national security than that caused by…Pollard’s
treasonous behavior.” Twelve years later, the Pollard storyline shifted
again when in June 2010 Michael Oren, Israel’s
ambassador to the U.S., revived the phony “rogue”
portrayal in yet another attempt to distance Tel Aviv
from the fact that Israel continues its espionage
operations in the U.S. Another “hyphenated American,” Oren relinquished
the U.S. component of his citizenship to serve as
Israel’s ambassador to Washington. Though he withdrew
his Pollard statement, no one could explain why
someone with his sophistication would issue a “rogue
operation” statement. Signaling the Network Tel Aviv’s first concerted attempt to gain
Pollard’s release dates to 1998 when, while
negotiating the Wye River Accords, Prime Minister Ehud
Barak secured from President Bill Clinton an agreement
for Pollard’s release. Clinton backpedaled when
threatened with a mass resignation by outraged members
of the U.S. intelligence community. The entryway to the headquarters of the Central
Intelligence Agency in Langley, Virginia features an
agency crest imbedded in the tiled floor. An adjoining
wall commemorates with stars the unnamed dead who lost
their lives as U.S. intelligence operatives. Those
featured typically achieved the equivalent military
rank of colonel. As a result of Pollard’s spying, 110 C.I.A.
operatives lost their lives. In addition, a reported
1,600 prime American assets were lost due to this
Israeli espionage. Americans have yet to be told the
true extent of this loss. In the history of U.S. national security, Pollard
enjoys top billing as inflicting the most damage. In
Israel, he is revered. Eligible for release in 2015,
he will be welcomed home as a Zionist hero to a nation
that granted him citizenship and several national
awards. His iconic status assures that news of Pollard—any
news whatsoever—emboldens Israeli-Americans committed
to the Zionist geopolitical agenda. Attempts to secure
his release assure hyphenated Americans that their
“homeland” will stand in solidarity with them at any
cost. Israeli offers of large sums of money reinforce
that commitment. Americans remain largely clueless about the
espionage role played by Israeli-Americans. Few recall
Jonathan Pollard. Fewer still grasp the costs that
Pollard’s treason imposed in blood and treasure. Nor
do Americans understand the overwhelming influence of
dual-citizens both in creating and communicating the
false intelligence that took the U.S. to war in the
Middle East. “To wage war by way of deception” has long been the
operative credo of the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence
and operations directorate. Mossad operatives
routinely target Israeli-Americans as recruits when
staging operations in the U.S. Even now, many Americans believe that Israel is an
ally despite more than six decades of facts confirming
the contrary. Israeli espionage remains ongoing aided
by a cadre of cooperative members of both the House
and Senate and their staffs. To believe otherwise allows gullibility to displace
facts confirming the gravity of the threat that this
entangled alliance imposes on the U.S. and, by
extension, on the international community. This latest Israeli adoration of traitor Jonathan
Pollard is clearly an affront to the U.S. as Israel’s
sponsor, financier, protector and primary arms
supplier. Of immediate concern, this high profile
event may be a signal setting in motion another
murderous incident meant to persuade Americans that
they face an external threat rather than the ongoing
threat of an enemy within. Comments 💬 التعليقات |
