Ari Ben-Menashe on the Capture of Mordecai Vanunu

Selections by Peter Myers, September 15, 2001; update November 21, 2015. My comments are shown {thus}.

Write to me at contact.html.

You are at http://mailstar.net/vanunu.html.

Ben-Menashe was a former Israeli intelligence officer.

The Sydney Morning Herald, & The (Melbourne) Age, as well as Australia's spy agency ASIO, played a part in the capture of Vanunu. The Sydney Morning Herald alerted ASIO, which alerted ASIS, which alerted Mossad.

The BBC produced a TV documentary about Vanunu's capture, and Israel's secret nuclear weapons program, titled "Israel's Secret Weapon".

Transcript, BBC World Service, 29 June 2003, Part 1: http://electronicIntifada.net/v2/article1665.shtml.

Part 2 of the transcript is at http://electronicIntifada.net/v2/article1667.shtml.

Mordecai Vanunu was lured by a "honey trap", after which he was jailed (in Israel) for 18 years (11 solitary); and he never even got the honey.

COMMENT

Thought this article was cool.

Only had a quick skim of it.

Article demonstrates why independent whistleblower publishers such as WikiLeaks are important.

After Vanunu's experience, potential whistleblowers would be crazy to attempt leak vital data to untrustworthy (and treacherous) corporate media, or to untested publishers.
Is anybody else appalled that the Australian daily newspapers and intelligence authorities basically condemned a whistleblower to Mossad kidnapping, 18 years prison and 11 years of solitary confinement (ie torture)?

Note also, Australian authorities handed over those young Australians who were busted for drugs in some country they got executed in, eventually.

Bali Nine in Indonesia.

Bali Nine: Australian Federal Police unapologetic for tip-off that led to Chan and Sukumaran executions

By political reporters Jane Norman and Anna Henderson

Updated 4 May 2015, 8:32pm


Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin says it is possible future investigations could result in an Australian facing the death penalty overseas, even though the AFP's guidelines have been strengthened since the arrest of the Bali Nine drug smugglers.

[ ... ]

Commissioner Colvin defended the AFP's decision to inform Indonesian authorities about the drug syndicate, saying the AFP did not have enough evidence to arrest the Australians before they left for Indonesia.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-05-04/afp-says-more-australians-could-face-death-penalty-over-drugs/6442084

Australian law enforcement authorities have as good as killed those kids themselves, in their haste to notify the Indonesians.
The distinctly unAustralian attitude of Australian law enforcement, intelligence services, and politicians -- all public servants -- probably also explains, to some extent, why the Australian authorities have not challenged (let alone publicly and vigorously challenged) the political persecution of award-winning Austrlian journalist, whistleblower publisher, Julian Assange.
It is the inaction (and, really, negligence) of  these Australian authorities that has enabled the 5-year British political persecution and detention of Julian Assange, who is obviously targeted for extradition and 'live burial' (ie. decades long incarceration, at a minimum) in the exposed criminal state, otherwise known as:  United States of America.
Australians should be outraged that the politicians and sundry other public servants, that are appointed by Australians to serve Australian interests, do not serve the interests of all Australians, of democracy and of justice, first and foremost.

Why Obama and Hollande Are Right on Syria
Posted: 06/11/2015 03:49 AEST Updated: 06/11/2015 04:59 AEST
BASHAR AL ASSAD



Forget principles and morality. Forget, or try to forget, the quarter-million deaths for which Bashar al-Assad is responsible, directly or indirectly, since choosing to respond with violence to a peaceful uprising of the Syrian people. Set aside the fact that Assad's forces have caused 10-15 times more civilian deaths thus far than the Islamic State, whose horrific execution videos have overshadowed the Syrian dictator's invisible massacres. But even if you can purge all of this from your thoughts, a policy for Syria that posits Assad as an "alternative" to the Islamic State is simply not viable[Comment:  Regime change is sought by international banker controlled USA, its neocon supporting intelligentsia, its allies (European & Arab oil)  ... & this desperation for regime change in Syria is mirrored in froggy France, while the anti-Assad neocon interests serving propaganda straddles two continents separated by the Atlantic.  Wow, that sounds almost like WWII.]

Assad, after all, unleashed the Islamic State's current savagery: In May 2011, he released hundreds of Islamic radicals from prison, quickly supplying the infant group with fighters and leaders. He then methodically shelled positions held by moderate rebels, while no less methodically sparing the Islamic State's stronghold in Raqqa. And then, in mid-2014, he allowed Iraqi elements of the Islamic State to find sanctuary in eastern Syria. [Comment:  'Moderate rebels' are Western & Gulf Oil proxies in Syria and beyond, who are aligned with al-Qaeda, or al-Nusra Front who are aligned with al-Qaeda, or something like that.  Some have defected to Islamic State, but Islamic State is also a proxy, so it's all 'good'.]

In other words, Assad created the monster that he is now pretending to fight. Is all that not a little much for a potential ally? Can working with Assad possibly provide a sound basis for what is supposed to be a common effort?   [Comment:  Preposterous frog propagandist.  ISIS is the proxy army of Saudi Arabia, allied Gulf States, allied USA (and European powers), as well as Israel, as I understand -- all of whom seek regime change in Syria (and destruction of Syria has been a long-time ambition of both Israel and USA), as the Syrian government is independent of the West, does not serve the Israeli, US, Saudi and allied European agenda.]

The bottom line is that Assad has no interest in winning. The man who now holds himself up as civilization's last bulwark against the Islamic State is also the last man who wants to see it eliminated.

After all, does a chess player, even a bad one, intentionally sacrifice his most powerful piece? Do any of us ever tear up our insurance policies? Do we really believe that Assad and his cronies are too stupid to have realized that their political survival depends on that of the Islamic State and on maintaining themselves as the keepers of the gate through which the rest of us must pass to wage war against it? [Comment:  Keepers of the gate?  Errr ... that's called a sovereign nation ... & the US, CIA, EU and Israel (especially Israel) have no respect for that Syrian sovereign nation.  The lot of them come and go as they please, without consent of the Syrian sovereign state.  Everybody knows that ISIS is the Arab States', US, Israel & EU proxy.  Why is he wasting his breath?  Is he insane?  Plus, he neglects to mention that these Western aggressors have prevented the Assad government from effectively handling this extremist threat, and have refused to cooperate with the Assad government, towards jointly tackling the extremists (who are the West's proxies).]

"Of course not," the advocates of working with him concede. "But let's take a two-step approach. Let's defeat the Islamic State and then worry about Assad."  [Comment:  Yeah, whatever.  But right now (10-days since this publication), David Cameron is begging Vladimir Putin not to strike their ISIS proxy, so what does that tell you, froggy?]

But this approach, too, assumes that dictators are more stupid than they really are. Worse, it ignores that politics follows its own logic, or at least its own dynamics. What the sorcerer's apprentices who want to work with Assad ignore is that they would most likely have a great deal of trouble, when the time comes, distancing themselves from an ally who would not be shy about claiming his share of the victory. As a result, jihadism would rush back in, though perhaps in a different guise. [Comment:  This old man is off his head.  Jihadism is there because the US & its allies have always backed Islamic militants, including the nuclear armed terrorist central, Pakistan; and they've  supported Afghanistan jihadist Mujahidin (now Taliban) when the Soviets were fighting there ... they've since backed the Saudi-funded extremists in Africa and the Middle East, who have defected to the Caliphate (but it's all the same deal), and the whole lot are CIA-US and allied puppet proxies in the region.
The 'sorcerer's apprentice' is Saudi Arabia, & the Gulf Oil StatesUSA-Israel, the Ango-Saxon West and their European counterparts, who support terrorist networks abroad.
They're also sending a deluge of their cousins to Europe, to meet international banker demand for economic growth in step with their greed for profit and concern for integrated markets, to keep the American economic and banking house of cards from coming undone, because it's based on the fraud of a debt-based fractional-reserve currency system, that's going to go under big time because it's a sinking ship.  Oh, and they invite plenty of domestic blowback upon a defenceless public, as consequence of aggression and meddling in the Middle East and in Africa.]

"Bashar al-Assad is the Syrian state," the same people say. "And we must not commit the fatal error of destroying the state." But this argument is not valid, either. The state has already failed: Assad controls only a fifth of Syria's territory, and the remaining four-fifths will never willingly resubmit to its terrifying control. If Assad's regime prevails, the state's citizens will continue to flee in droves to Turkey, Lebanon and Europe[Comment:  USA & friends funded and supported jihadist terrorists purportedly control a sizeable portion of Syria (thanks to Western backing, which is illegal pursuant to international law).  But Russia's air-strikes may alter the stakes and I hope they do. 
Mass exodus from Syria is far more likely if the West's Islamic fundamentalist henchmen take over, as there's not been an exodus from Assad's Syria, but rather from Assad's Syria attacked by Western backed fundamentalist terrorists. 
Note also:  the VAST MAJORITY of the 'Syrian' refugees the Western press has been hyping as the 'refugee crisis' are being shipped to Europe from EVERYWHERE but Syria:  reportedly only one in five is 'Syrian' -- and even that is doubtful, given easily obtainable fake IDs and discarded identification among the wave of immigrants storming Europe. The bulk are from Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other Middle Eastern and African countries.
Pakistan is refusing to accept return of their European declined citizens from Europe.  But as the immigrants have destroyed their identification and cannot be positively identified, Europe is left holding these fruits of this 'Syrian' 'refugee crisis' by-Merkel-invitation that's swept over the European continent, wherever they come from and whatever their circumstances. 
Quite honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Turkey, EU, Soros, international bankers, CIA (and whoever the f*ck else is geared towards regime change and destruction of Syria) is shipping those Middle Eastern immigrants across to Europe, including to an unwilling (and still sane) former eastern bloc Europe (eg Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia etc), and an unwilling European general public (save for the colluding Western intelligentsia, their various propagandists and agenda pushers, the co-opted left,  and the brainwashed and brain-dead 'religiously' enthused rent-a-mob).
Unwilling Europeans, rising right, barbed wire, refusals to accept quotas etc, loss of border controls, tent cities, unidentified and unidentifiable aliens, missing aliens, bulk rape and gang rape, violence, riots etc etc ... But the scummy Western European politician banker-lapdogs persist in importing destruction to Europe, in the service of the  international banking  and corporate agenda.  Lapdog-politicians who enable the wholesale rape of European womanhood and European native population displacement, prior to inevitable, slow genocide of the European stock ... which will come to a violent end when the numbers are tipped in favour of non-Europeans.
Philosopher and pen-pusher for the monied elites ignores that when you destroy a state you create a power vacuum, as in Libya (which is a lawless hellhole of terror and destruction 2011 to date) ... the French writer knows, because there's photos of him in Libya with what is presumably France's jihadist proxy there.]

In fact, Assad's regime cares so little for its pseudo-state that it abandons its own soldiers when they venture beyond the territory it controls, as occurred in Tabqa, near Raqqa. Baathist Syria, whatever its friends in the Kremlin and elsewhere say, is dead and buried. And no military trompe l'œil can revive it.  [Comment:  So why is he even bothering with this propaganda if that is the case?  Ten days since the Frenchman's article was published, why is David Cameron begging the Kremlin to stop bombing his boys, ISIS?
Assad's Baathis Syria sounds like the only decent Middle Eastern government there is:

  • secularism
  • socialism
  • pan-Arab unionism / Arab nationalism

the rest are religious dictatorships or Western-backed religious-oil dictatorships.

The West wants to destroy the only secular country in the region, and to replace Syria's government with religious fundamentalists.]
But the supposed realists refuse to accept reality. Just as it was necessary to ally with Stalin to defeat Hitler, they claim, we should not be afraid to play the Assad card to rid ourselves of the Islamic State. Yes, jihadism is the fascism of our day, infected with plans, ideas, and a will to purity comparable to those of the Nazis. I was one of the first to suggest the comparison some 20 years ago.  [Comment:  This is where the propagandist just paints his paragraph-long smear because he's fond of playing in the muck that is the tool of his trade.]

And yet it is absurd to compare the power of the two phenomena, or to suggest that in the confrontation with the butchers of Mosul and Palmyra the democracies face a strategic challenge analogous to that of the Nazi Wehrmacht. This historical leap is possible only for people whose political irresponsibility is matched by their proclivity for lazy analogy. 
[Comment:  So, if I have this straight, he's trying to minimise the threat of ISIS, or some kind of Islamic extremist jihadists in the region.

Days after this piece of his, over 150 were killed in Paris & something like 200 were injured.
The same Evil Western Axis that's armed and backed terrorists in the Middle East is currently destroying Europe by flooding Europe with third-world rapists and consumers of state-funded support (together with their eight designated reunion-relatives to arrive in Europe in due course), 'sold' to the unwilling public as potential future wage-slaves and as cultural 'vibrants' (or some such thing), as the radical-right press would say. 
Who profits?  Probably the international bankers, as generations European natives will be indebted to pay for this non-Europoean invasion ... and for eternity in social and demographic terms, spelling the destruction of Europeans as a European people.  Europe is finished unless Europe goes to war immediately against its elites, which is unlikely.  The European people are unarmed and powerless, and  Europe is finished.]

Make no mistake: the Islamic State is strong. But it is not so strong as to leave those who would fight it with only the politics of the lesser of two evils.   [Comment:  Oh, do shut up, froggy.  The only evil is:  the Evil Western Axis' Syria regime change and destruction agenda.  
Hey, that means all Western governments are party to this evil destruction of Europe.
So the West is also collectively responsible for:  the rape of all those European women, the destruction of Europe, and what is genocide of the European people that we now witness ... as well as the rise of jihadists and the serial destruction of the entire Middle East.  And these are the same Evil Western Axis crew and their colluding press voices that spew lies and hypocrisy, among the stock victors' propaganda about the evil of WWII National Socialists, while politicians predictably perform public worship rituals at the altar of international banker mandated 'multiculturalism', in the aftermath of another round of European blood-letting.]
The West must decide what to do. In the aftermath of last week's peace talks in Vienna, which convened the United States, Russia, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, and key European Union members, that question becomes increasingly difficult. Should we equip what remains of the Free Syrian Army? Should we deal with the few remaining Alawite leaders whose hands are not stained with blood, or those members of Assad's clan who chose exile early and thus were not involved in the massacres? [Comment:  Free Syrian Army (FSA) are the Gulf Oil & Western proxy 'moderate rebels' -- ie jihadists of the al-Qaeda affiliation kind.]

Perhaps there is still be time to bring together, on neutral ground, some of the elements that comprised the old Syria. Or perhaps more radical solutions -- of the type implemented in Germany and Japan after World War II -- are now required[Comment:  What's he proposing, an atomic bomb or something?  Occupation?  Who cares.  This Frenchy propagandist lives in Disneyland.]

All of these paths remain open, but they are narrowing. And none of them depends on the political survival of Bashar al-Assad[Comment:  If this is how desperate this master French intelligentsia trans-Atlantic propagandist is to fulfil the agenda of deposing Bashar al_Assad, Assad's bound to be legitimate and deserves support.  Long Live Bashar al-Assad! ]

“There is a strong cooperation between MOSSAD and ISIS top military commanders...Israeli advisors helping the Organization on laying out strategic and military plans, and guiding them in the battlefield”

Israeli Brigadier Yussi Elon Shahak captured by the Iraqi popular army confessed during the investigation that

“There is a strong cooperation between MOSSAD and ISIS top military commanders,” asserting that  “there are Israeli advisors helping the Organization on laying out strategic and military plans, and guiding them in the battlefield.”

The terrorist organization also has military consultants from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Jordan
Saudi Arabia has so far provided ISIS with 30,000 vehicles, while Jordan rendered 4500 vehicles. Qatar and United Arab Emirates delivered funds for covering ISIS overall expenditure.

Israeli commander working with Daesh arrested in Iraq: Popular forces

TIMES OF ISRAEL

Says Otherwise


Tue Nov 3, 2015 6:45PM

According to a report by Iran’s Fars news agency, sources in Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) say they have arrested Colonel Yussi Elon Shahak during an operation against Daesh.

The report said Shahak was arrested along with a number of key Daesh members, saying he is currently being interrogated by Iraq’s intelligence officials to determine the degree and type of support the Tel Aviv regime has been providing to militants fighting against the Iraqi government.
...

The report by Fars cited military intelligence showing that Shahak is registered with Golani Brigade, an elite force which was formed in 1948 and is known as the 1st Brigade of the regular Israeli infantry. A military registration number was also provided in the report.

The capture could be seen as a major setback for Israel as it has repeatedly denied having links to Daesh. Previous reports from the Golan Heights, an area separating Syria from the occupied Palestinian territories, had shown that foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists had received assistance from the Israeli military. Israelis have openly confirmed that they have hosted some militants in their field hospitals and provided them with medical care.

Israeli Lobby Urges War on Syria

By Stephen Lendman
Global Research, September 05, 2013

It did so formally. It didn’t surprise. It has more than Syria in mind. A previous article explained.

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations wants war. AIPAC is its best known member.

It’s a blight on humanity. It’s an unregistered foreign agent. It operates illegally. It does so destructively.

It promotes war. It deplores peace. It supports the worst of Israeli crimes. It supports its most unprincipled interests.

It controls US administrations and Congress. Edward Said called it “the most powerful and feared lobby in Washington.”

In a matter of hours, he said, it can mobilize unanimous Senate support for Israel. Political Washington bows to its will. It does so disgracefully. It does it destructively.

It’s doing it now. In days, Congress will rubber-stamp Obama’s intended lawless aggression on Syria. He plans mass killing and destruction.

AIPAC endorses it. On September 3, it headlined ”Press Statement on Syrian Resolution,” saying:

AIPAC urges Congress to grant the President the authority he has requested to protect America’s national security interests and dissuade the Syrian regime’s further use of unconventional weapons.”

“The civilized world cannot tolerate the use of these barbaric weapons, particularly against an innocent civilian population including hundreds of children.”

“Simply put, barbarism on a mass scale must not be given a free pass.”

“This is a critical moment when America must also send a forceful message of resolve to Iran and Hezbollah – both of whom have provided direct and extensive military support to Assad.”

“The Syrian regime and its Iranian ally have repeatedly demonstrated that they will not respect civilized norms.”

“That is why America must act, and why we must prevent further proliferation of unconventional weapons in this region.”

“America’s allies and adversaries are closely watching the outcome of this momentous vote. This critical decision comes at a time when Iran is racing toward obtaining nuclear capability.”

Failure to approve this resolution would weaken our country’s credibility to prevent the use and proliferation of unconventional weapons and thereby greatly endanger our country’s security and interests and those of our regional allies.”

AIPAC maintains that it is imperative to adopt the resolution to authorize the use of force, and take a firm stand that the world’s most dangerous regimes cannot obtain and use the most dangerous weapons.”

AIPAC’s one of 51 US Zionist organizations. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CPMAJO) represents them.

AIPAC’s best known. Both organizations work cooperatively. CPMAJO largely focuses on US administrations. AIPAC mostly lobbies Congress.

They seek unequivocal support for Israel. They’re in lockstep for war on Syria. On September 3, the CPMAJO said:

“The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations said today that the use of chemical weapons violates fundamental international norms and principles.”

“The use of such indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction represents moral challenges that require a strong response. It also poses vital national security concerns to the US and to our interests and to those of our allies in the region.”

Confirmation of Israel Lobby Article

AIPAC to Deploy Hundreds of Lobbyists to Push for Syria Action
Reuters Sep 07, 2013 7:33 PM
Pro-Israel lobby says 250 activists will meet with their senators and representatives in Washington in a bid to win support Congressional support for military action in Syria.

The influential pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee will deploy hundreds of activists next week to win support in Congress for military action in Syria, amid an intense White House effort to convince wavering U.S. lawmakers to vote for limited strikes.

"We plan a major lobbying effort with about 250 activists in Washington to meet with their senators and representatives," an AIPAC source said on Saturday.

Congressional aides said they expected the meetings and calls on Tuesday, as President Barack Obama and officials from his administration make their case for missile strikes over the apparent use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar Assad's government.

The vote on action in Syria is a significant political test for Obama and a major push by AIPAC, considered one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, could provide a boost.

The U.S. Senate is due to vote on a resolution to authorize the use of military force as early as Wednesday. Leaders of the House of Representatives have not yet said when they would vote beyond saying consideration of an authorization is "possible" sometime this week.

Obama has asked Congress to approve strikes against Assad's government in response to a chemical weapons attack
on Aug. 21 that killed more than 1,400 Syrians.  [Groundless accusation - see MIT research & report (below)]

But many Republicans and several of Obama's fellow Democrats have not been enthused about the prospect, partly because war-weary Americans strongly oppose getting involved in another Middle Eastern conflict.  [Not enthused?  Got to be kidding.  American politicians live for war ... especially on Syria.]

Pro-Israel groups had largely kept a low profile on Syria as the Obama administration sought to build its case for limited strikes after last month's attack on rebel-held areas outside Damascus.

Supporters of the groups and government sources acknowledged they had made it known that they supported U.S. action, concerned about instability in neighboring Syria and what message inaction might send to Assad's ally, Iran.

But they had generally wanted the debate to focus on U.S. national security rather than how a decision to attack Syria might help Israel, a reflection of their sensitivity to being seen as rooting for the United States to go to war.   [US national security?  It's not Mexico, you know.  Syria's in the Middle East ... right up next to Israel.]

Published time: 16 Jan, 2014 04:39
Edited time: 19 Jan, 2014 13:49

A new MIT report is challenging the US claim that Assad forces used chemical weapons in an attack last August, highlighting that the range of the improvised rocket was way too short to have been launched from govt controlled areas.


In the report titled “Possible Implications of Faulty US Technical Intelligence,” Richard Lloyd, a former UN weapons inspector, and Theodore Postol, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), examined the delivery rocket’s design and calculated possible trajectories based on the payload of the cargo.

The authors concluded that sarin gas “could not possibly have been fired at East Ghouta from the ‘heart’, or from the Eastern edge, of the Syrian government controlled area shown in the intelligence map published by the White House on August 30, 2013.”

Comments as marked above.
Love how Bernard-Henri Levy began with "Forget principles and morality ...".   Was he trying to inject some humour into his article?
Bit confused about who did the Paris attack.

If al-Qaeda & ISIS are Western & Gulf State proxies, why are extremists on the payroll attacking Paris? 

Oh, I remember, they've sort of gone rogue or AWOL now.

UPDATE:

It looks like Hollande publicised in Le Monde in late 2014 delivery of arms to the 'moderate rebels', who are the al-Nusra associated faction (who are an associated al-Qaeda faction), that's in opposition to the ISIS faction ... unless they defect.
“We cannot leave the only Syrians who are preparing a democracy ... without weapons,” he added.
Would ISIS wait a whole year to respond with an attack?   It seems too long a wait.  Not sure.

I can't figure how the West is getting away with backing terrorists in Syria when it is illegal pursuant to international law to arm (and presumably fund) actors to take down a sovereign government.  
Arms reach Syria from Jordan and I'm guessing also Turkey ... and it appears France was openly arming the Syrian opposition as at late 2014.  
The 'chemical weapons' thing is similar to the 'weapons of mass destruction' illegal attack that was carried out in Iraq, only in this case the chemicals came from the 'moderate rebels' as the most likely source -- so it was a false flag attack, aiming to make a target of the al-Assad government.

The above 'Israel lobby' article is just a random one that popped up when I searched for "Israel lobby" and "Syria".  Wanted to make sure I was right, in making the above statement.

UPDATED with Times of Israel refuted of captured Israeli Colonel.

Press TV is the official Iranian press agency.

The operators of Veterans Today are unknown to me.

Its site is registered by proxy, but is presumably an American site.

The author of the article would be:  Nahed al Husaini Lancaster of Veterans Today.

As the article author appears in this article (here), I'm going to assume that the Veterans Today site is a genuine news outlet.  But, yeah, on taking a second look at the VT article, it is rather odd.  I think I just skimmed over that first part, but I'm not sure why. 

The Israeli article goes on to discuss the photograph regarding the 'captured Colonel' who isn't a colonel and hasn't been captured.

So is there a captured Israeli of any description in Iraq, or what?
PressTV I'd trust.

Fars News, not so much.  Especially as there's yet another proxy registration.

Not sure why PressTV would print something that might be dodgy.

Popular Mobilization Forces (Iraq) is a Shia militia umbrella group drawn together  to defend against ISIS - here.
If they really did have an Israeli military guy, I suppose there might have been a bit more fanfare than this.  As in, you'd think there'd be a huge press conference or something to mark the occasion.

PS

Some reading for those that think my predictions for Europe are exaggerated.  Article was enough for me, but there's a video also.  Just one report of multitudes of horrifying reports of dramas etc in Europe -- and the politicians, the liberal left network, and the wider intelligentsia and the media continue to push an unsound ideology (and consequences) on the public:

WATCH: Journalist Stoned While Trying To Film In Swedish No Go Zone

by Liam Deacon  |  27 Oct 2015
A Swedish journalist attempting to make a movie about the residents of a Swedish no go zone and their habit of throwing stones at police has herself been attacked and had stones thrown at her as she attempted to film.

They thought we crossed the limit and that we were standing on their land,” journalist Valentina Xhaferi told Swedish newspaper Expressen.

Ms Xhaferi planned on investigating police reports that any officer trying to patrol the Stockholm district of Tensta – with its foreign born population now over 70 per cent – would be pelted with rocks. She wanted to get behind the black headlines and find out what was really troubling the poor residents.

[ ... ]
But as they waited, another man, who appeared to be upset, approach to ask why they were filming. He went away only to return with his gang.

“Then he became very, very angry and said he’ll get stones and show us what stoning is. When I saw that he was armed with a stone I just wanted to get out of there,” said Ms Xhaferi.

At this point more three men appeared from a subway and demanded to know what they were doing. The camera was recording, and captured the moment the men kicked the equipment to the floor, shouted insults at Ms. Xhaferi and poured coffee on the cameraman before running off.

“It was impossible to calm them down. I pulled back and tried to calm down everyone, while trying to get my colleague and myself out of there.
Police estimate that there are around 55 such areas in Sweden similar to the Tensta no go zone, which was the site of a riot in 2012, and which boasts a 95-100 per cent foreign origin rate for children living there.

Assange & the Swedish Hothouse

Article
SOURCE
various



Anders Danielsson is the current Director General of the Swedish Migration Agency, which is under the Justice Department.

Previously, Daneilsson was head of Sapo (Swedish security police - here), also under the Swedish Justice Department.

1980
- Master of Laws
1982-1984
-- Police Chief training
-- Reservist
1990-1991
-- Superintendent Sapo
1992-1997
- National Crime Investigation Dept
-- training FBI (1993), several months, USA
1998-1999
-- Director Police Bureau National Police
1999-2002
-- Director Police Bureau National Police, Devel & Strategic Unit
2002-2007
-- County Police at Police Authority in Skane County
2007-2012
-- Director General of SAPO

What I found interesting is that Anders Danielsson would have been head of Sapo right at the time that Julian Assange, publisher WikiLeaks, would no doubt have been a target of Sapo, Carl Bildt (then Foreign Minister of Sweden), the FBI and the US State Department, in 2010.

Daneilsson underwent FBI training of several months duration in Virginia, USA, in 1993, and as head of Sapo, presumably, maintained good relations with his American counterparts over the years.

What is unexpected and very intriguing is that Danielsson is a friend of Carl Bildt's brother, Nils Bildt, dating back to his reservist UN evacuation of Cyprus days:

Nils Bildt, entrepreneur, lieutenant colonel and friend since reservist training (brother of Carl Bildt):

    "Anders is such a friend that you can call around the clock and without the need to specify what terms he will. He is incredibly reliable. Now I feel that he is the weight of the seriousness of the situation, but occasionally there is a twinkle in his eye, the little bus to arrive. We've had a lot of fun together."

http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/han-klarar-flyktingvagen-om-han-far-vara-sig-sjalv/

So, this is a very interesting Swedish hothouse of cross-over relationships:  American and Swedish security and other relationships; Sapo and FBI; Justice Department and Sapo; Justice Department and Swedish prosecutor Ny; Justice Department and Swedish lawyers; Sapo and then Foreign Minister Carl Bildt etc. 

Imagine what Daneilsson must know about the shifty Swedish goings on in relation to the US State Department's determined hunt for Australian journalist Julian Assange.

Please leak Anders Danielsson.  xxx  ;)



Speaking of shifty:  check out Bodström, Säpo & Mossad

Written Question 2002/03 1044
Security Service and the Mossad


June 3

Question 2002/03 1044
Gustav Fridolin (MP) to the Minister of Justice Thomas Bodström Säpo and the Mossad

The Security Service report for 2002 can read the following:

"In 2002, the Security Service conducted a continued monitoring of groups and individuals in Sweden who are likely to commit violent acts because of the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Until spring 2002, Palestinian groups in Sweden generally manifested their loyalty by demonstrations and fundraisers . During the spring of 2002, however, a change when pro-Palestinian demonstrations in some cases turned violent. Säpo's investigation shows that it was not dealing with organized violent actions, but rather about individual movements. In 2002, the Palestinians carried out a numerous terrorist attacks against Israeli interests in Israel and the Palestinian territories, and SAPO guard with cooperative security and intelligence services development in order to prevent any such attacks internationally. "

The Israeli intelligence service Mossad, according to several analysts one of the world's most ruthless organizations and has conducted many of the extrajudicial executions by the Swedish government hard criticized.

I would therefore ask the Minister of Justice if the Minister is able to illuminate if there is an organized collaboration between the Swedish security police and the Israeli Mossad.

https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/Dokument-Lagar/Fragor-och-anmalningar/Fragor-for-skriftliga-svar/Sapo-och-Mossad_GQ111044/



Got curious about Sapo & Mossad and came across the above 2002 parliamentary question.

It's difficult to work out what the question is.  

Did Gustav Fridolin, Member of Parliament, ask the Swedish Minister of Justice Thomas Bodström to disclose whether there is a collaboration between Sapo and Mossad to conduct extrajudicial executions in Sweden?
Bodström goes on to give a non-answer:  https://archive.is/B85ZW
While this is really shocking, we shouldn't be surprised if it was happening. 
Generally speaking, states are lawless.  Sweden is definitely known to be lawless.  And Israel was founded on assassinations (including one in Europe), so Mossad conducting assassinations would just be carrying on the Israeli national traditions.




Check out what this site has to say about Thomas Bodström:

The intermingling between government, prosecutor Ny, and the ‘accusers” law-firm Borgström & Bodström

... intermingling between the Swedish police officer, taken the declaration of her friend and party comrade AA ...

Mr Thomas Bodström, member of the social democratic party, is the Swedish former minister of Justice identified as main collaborator with the CIA renditions of political refugees from Sweden that occurred during the government of Göran Persson. At the time of their case against Assange, Thomas Bodström was a permanent resident at Virginia, U.S. There, in his blog Bodströmsamhallet (Bodstrom’s society), he proudly announced that his law firm defended the plaintiff against Assange (see down below).

Mr Claes Borgström, then member of the social democratic party, was a government-appointed Gender ombudsman ... also known in Sweden for his claims that “all men carry a collective guilt for violence against women”.

"This woman accuser, AA, also an active member of the Social Democratic Party, was at the time the political secretary of the organization “Brotherhood” (now renamed “Religious Social Democrats of Sweden“), [9] integrated by the group of Christian social democrats where former Minister Thomas Bodström was highest ranking member after the ex PM Göran Persson – the U.S. (and Bush’s) friend, according to their own declarations."

Bodstrom, Borgström & Ny

Marianne Ny, Thomas Bodström and Claes Borgström participated in the same governmental consulting team set by the Swedish government for the formulation of new sexual-crimes legislation.

With the time, has Claes Borgström himself felt obliged to acknowledge that he – previously to their initiation of the ‘Assange case’ – has worked together with Marianne Ny in a governmental committee and that he has met her also at a workshop on genders issues. [7]

Regarding the ‘expert-assignment’ prosecutor Marianne Ny  received from the part of the Swedish government, it is noteworthy to mention that this assignment was still going on at the time she decided to open a case against Mr Assange – times that overlap, as we wrote before, with the period in which the U.S. government requested the countries participating in the military occupation of Afghanistan to open a prosecution against the founder of WikiLeaks.

Argentina - Alberto Nisman - Laboratory Analysis - Nisman DNA Only


LAHT Article

Argentine Probe Finds Only Prosecutor’s DNA on Gun
BUENOS AIRES – The only DNA found on the gun that killed Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman belonged to the deceased, the person directing the investigation said Friday.

Nisman was found fatally shot on Jan. 18, hours before he was supposed to brief Argentina’s Congress about his accusations that President Cristina Fernandez and other officials sought to conceal the involvement of Iran in a deadly 1994 terrorist attack targeting a Jewish organization in Buenos Aires.

The prosecutor died of a single shot to the temple, fired at point-blank range from a .22-caliber pistol that was found under his body in the bathroom of his apartment.

Nisman, who had a 10-person police security detail, borrowed the gun from a colleague.

Laboratory analysis determined “categorically” that all of the DNA found on the gun, ammunition cartridge, bullets and shell-casings belonged to Nisman, prosecutor Viviana Fein said Friday in a statement.

At the time of his death, Nisman was seeking to indict Fernandez, Foreign Minister Hector Timerman and five other people in connection with his probe of the car-bomb attack that left 85 dead at the offices of the Jewish organization AMIA.

Investigators have labeled the case a “suspicious death.”

Fein said her office’s technical staff have informed her that the stairways of Nisman’s apartment building do not have security cameras, while the camera mounted in the elevator was out of service the day of the prosecutor’s death[Gee, that was handy.]

She said she took statements on Friday from the people who manage the computer network in the office of the special prosecutor for the AMIA case.

Nisman, 51, was laid to rest Thursday at a Jewish cemetery on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

The Argentine government rejected on Friday a U.S. lawmaker’s call for an international enquiry into Nisman’s death.   [International inquiry?  US lawmaker call?  Something's going on here.]

Argentina “is an autonomous and independent country,” Cabinet chief Jorge Capitanich said during his daily press briefing, calling Sen. Marco Rubio’s proposal the expression of an “imperial vision” that “ignores the principal of national self-determination.”

Rubio, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs, sent a letter Thursday to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, saying that he was “deeply concerned about the ability of the government of Argentina to conduct a fair and impartial investigation.”

The senator’s call for an international investigation is an “unwarranted intrusion appropriate to an imperial attitude that represents the most recalcitrant Republican right,” Capitanich said.

The charges against Fernandez and Timerman were based on intercepts of telephone conversations about efforts “to erase Iran from the AMIA case,” Nisman’s office said Jan. 14 in a statement.

The government wanted to eliminate any obstacle to forging closer trade and economic ties with Tehran, the prosecutor said.

Timerman – himself a member of Argentina’s Jewish community – reacted angrily to the accusations, labeling Nisman a liar and saying that the prosecutor allowed himself to be unduly influenced by Jaime Stiuso, recently fired as chief of operations for the intelligence service.

Many in the Argentine Jewish community believe the AMIA bombing was ordered by Iran and carried out by Tehran’s Hezbollah allies.

Both the Iranian government and the Lebanese militia group deny any involvement and some have pointed out that the accusation relies heavily on information provided by the CIA and Israel’s Mossad spy agency, both with an interest in blackening the reputation of Tehran.

SENATOR MARCO RUBIO

Marco Rubio
Roman Catholicism
Parents = Cubans who had immigrated to USA 1956
Pedro Victor Garcia (maternal grandfather)
immigrated legally to the US in 1956
returned to Cuba to find work in 1959
On returning to USA in 1962 without a visa, US embassies in Cuba being closed, an immigration judge ordered him deported.
US immigration authorities = used discretion to allow him to remain in the US without a visa.
"In 2012, The Associated Press concluded that Garcia might have been undocumented for four years, from 1962 to 1966."

"His parents left Cuba in 1956, during the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista."
"Rubio's previous statements that his parents were forced to leave Cuba in 1959, after Fidel Castro came to power, were incorrect."
"The real essence of my family's story is not about the date my parents first entered the United States. Or whether they traveled back and forth between the two nations. Or even the date they left Fidel Castro's Cuba forever and permanently settled here. The essence of my family story is why they came to America in the first place; and why they had to stay."
"According to The Washington Post, Rubio's "embellishments" resonated with many voters in Florida, who would not be as impressed by his family being economic migrants seeking a better life in the U.S. instead of political refugees from a communist regime."

  • Ros-Lehtinen supported President George W. Bush's surge policy in Iraq, a supporter of Israel and supports continued sanctions against Cuba.
  • Ros-Lehtinen opposes US support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East and the Palestinian Authority. She describes herself as a "strong supporter of Israel" and regards the US relationship with Israel as "critical to the national security interests of both nations".
  • Ros-Lehtinen has stirred controversy by calling for the assassination of Cuban Leader Fidel Castro.

COMMENT

Didn't expect investigations to come up with anything.

How's the elevator camera being conveniently out of order?

Washington Post, Newsweek and others are running a story on the CIA and Mossad assassination of Imad Mugniyah:

Newsweek story re: Imad Mugniyah
http://www.newsweek.com/imad-mugniyah-cia-mossad-303483
Mugniyah is allegedly the Hezbollah criminal 'super-villain' who is accused of committing the AMIA bombing and a host of other attacks, including attacks on US military and the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing in Argentina.

The Newsweek story is based on US intelligence sources:
"according to former U.S. intelligence officials interviewed by Newsweek"
While this is interesting and topical, in that (a) Imad Mugniyah's son was killed in a recent Israeli attack and (b) AMIA bombing Prosecutor Alberto Nisman has mysteriously been bumped off in Argentina, it is also interesting from the perspective that CIA and Mossad cooperation is in the media now, coming from former US intelligence sources.  The current media spotlight on this may serve to reinforce the alleged Hezbollah and AMIA link  and, under the circumstances (father and son side-by-side burial, both killed), could perhaps also be seen as waving a red flag to a bull, trying to maybe provoke a Hezbollah reaction -- ie baiting Hezbollah.  Either that, or I'm reading way too much into these affairs.

It's also interesting that USA's Marco Rubio is simultaneously trying to get some mileage out of the Nisman development in Argentina, by taking the Nisman affair out of Argentina.
