AmNote on Israeli Nuclear Espionage Wen Ho Lee, a former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist, was aggressively pursued by Janet Reno for spying and espionage after being accused of transferring information about U.S. nuclear weapons to the Chinese. Yet, the Israelis have been allowed not only to outright steal U.S. nuclear secrets, but they've been allowed to use nuclear material stolen from the nuclear facility in Apollo, PA to built nuclear weapons. What's going on? The Israelis have creating an arms imbalance in the Middle East to which Iraq has been trying to respond by creating its own nuclear arsenal, which the U.S. has been trying vigorously to halt via the United Nations. America's uncritical attitude to Israel's unmatched nuclear weapons program is an inherit contradiction to American's attitude towards Iraq's nuclear efforts. Why didn't the U.S. stop the Israeli nuclear program with the same such vigor? Israelis are designing nuclear weapon systems used for tactical battlefield deployment against its neighbors. This Israeli national course of action would disrupt U.S. interests in the Middle East. Israel has placed Americans in harm's way by their terrorist anti-American actions. The bombings of the World Trade Center in New York, the African embassies, and the USS Cole in Yemen are in direct response to U.S. involvement with Israeli military aggression in the Middle East. Let's face it; when you collaborate with the AntiChrist, you're going to look like the Great Satin.
The Jews have shown that they have no respect for the U.S. and have objectives contrary to the best interests of America. Israeli actions have demonstrated that the American people are expendable compared to Israeli national interests. Espionage activities by Israeli recruited American-born spies in Jewish organizations are routine. In 1993, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith was caught using espionage agents, recruited from law enforcement and state agencies across the United States, to spy and collect information on American citizens and civil right groups for Israel. Yet, the ADL had the arrogance to vigorous protest a 1996 Defense Department memo accusing Israel of using American-born spies to gather U.S. military and intelligence secrets. What Gall! Furthermore, the ADL had the nerve to call the DOD memo anti-Semitic. How can it be considered anti-Semitic to call a race of sneak thieves and liars, sneak thieves and liars, when Jews have proven themselves to be just that? And what about American traitor, Jonathan Pollard! If anything proves that Israel recruits American-born spies, Pollard is the proof. The ADL also works behind the scenes for the release of Pollard, the former naval intelligence specialist who was sentenced to life in prison for passing classified documents to Israel.
Jonathan Pollard is not the first Jew to betray America's trust by passing military secrets to the enemy. As pointed out in the PBS Nova program, "Secrets, Lies, and Atomic Spies" that aired 2/5/02, it wasn't just Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, but everyone involved in the passing of U.S. nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union in the late 40's and early 50's were Jews—including Jewish scientists working on the U.S. nuclear program at Los Alamos. The Nova program also reveals that Joesph McCarthy wasn't as crazy as the Jewish media and Jew Hollywood has tried to portray him and his Communist "witch-hunts", which exposed so many Jews as anti-American and traitors. In fact, more than 300 American Jews were involved in spying for the Soviet Union during World War II. The only difference now is that American Jews are nuclear spies for Israel instead of the Soviet Union!
Why is the United States involved with the Jews—the ultimate deceiver and betrayer of literally biblical proportions? Jew arrogance and their sense of privilege and entitlement make Jews a dangerous presence on the nuclear stage, especially since the rights of other peoples are far from important to them. Perhaps, if Jews weren't cheats and swindlers, they wouldn't have such a great need for nuclear weapons to protect themselves from those that they have wronged. The USS Liberty incident, in which 34 American Navy men died and another 171 men were wounded in an 80-minute Israeli sneak attack, proves that Jews would have no qualms about using nuclear weapons against the U.S. and American citizens. Time and time again, the Jews have proven that Jews cannot be trusted. Literally, Jews have been driven insane by their own Jewish arrogance. Jews will not let anything stand in the way of them conducting their own personal romance with themselves. The fact that the Jews have some 300 nuclear weapons stockpiled should be sobering to Americans and the rest of humanity.
Israel is truly "Truman's Folly". If Truman hadn't push for the formation of Israel over the objections of U.S. and foreign government officials, it would never have existed. Thanks, Harry for creating a place for Jews to plot and work their evil on the world! Through massive foreign aid from the United States, Israel has grown into a nuclear power, that is not only a threat to its neighbors, but also to America itself. Amazingly, the Department of Energy has lifted "some cumbersome security restrictions" on visits by Israeli scientists to American national laboratories. The Jews have proven themselves to be sneak thieves and liars. Yet, instead of totally banning them from access to all U.S. facilities, the DOE has given the Jews more access to U.S. national security secrets. Banning Israelis from national laboratories and nuclear facilities is very important, since Israel refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as well as the Biological Weapons Convention Treaty. Yet, even though Israel hasn't signed these two treaties, the United States still gives Israel military aid that they use to build nuclear weapons and construct bio-weapons. Is killing Arabs using nuclear and biological weapons what the U.S. taxpayer wants done with their tax dollars?
The facts prove that trusting the Jews has only setup the United States for betrayal! What should the U.S. do? The U.S. government cannot allow these disruptive, anti-American Israeli thugs to threaten the stability of America and betray the trust and faith of its people. In no uncertain terms, the United States must not allow Jews into American national laboratories, and demand that the Israelis return our nuclear material stolen from the nuclear plant in Apollo, Pa. And, America must be willing to go to war with Israel to get it back!
 Israeli Spy Visited A Plant Where Uranium Vanished —The Los Angeles Times
Rafael Eitan, the Israeli named recently in an alleged espionage ring in the United States, traveled in 1968 to a nuclear plant in Apollo, Pa., where large amounts of weapons-grade uranium disappeared and was allegedly diverted to Israel, documents showed today. Eitan, a former chief of operations for the Mossad, the Israeli CIA, was one of four Israelis who received U.S. clearance to meet with officials at the NUMEC plant in Apollo on Sept. 10, 1968, according to declassified FBI documents. Two reports on that meeting, included in thousands of pages of documents released recently under the Freedom of Information Act, listed Eitan as a chemist with the Ministry of Defense in Israel. Anthony Cordesman, a former Pentagon official now director of an Arlington, Va., defense "think tank," said Eitan's participation in the 1968 meeting was "extremely hard evidence" that he has long been operating with Israeli intelligence in the United States. At the time, Eitan was a member of a select Israeli intelligence unit, traditionally associated with Ariel Sharon, a leader in the hard-line Israeli Likud Party, that actively sought U.S. defense capabilities, Cordesman said. "There is no conceivable reason for Eitan to have gone (to the Apollo plant) but for the nuclear material." [click here to continue]
C.I.A. Concluded, Ex-Aide Says, That Irael Made Nuclear Arms —The New York Times
The Central Intelligence Agency concluded some years ago that Israel had developed nuclear weapons, aided in part by uranium diverted in the mid-1960's from a plant in Pennsylvania, according to a former Deputy Director of the agency. In an interview this week, Carl Duckett, Deputy Director for Science and Technology from 1967 to 1976, said there had been a ''clear consensus'' in the agency that the ''most likely case'' was that the Israelis had fabricated nuclear weapons with 200 pounds of enriched uranium diverted from a nuclear processing plant of the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation in Apollo, Pa. ''I believe that all of my senior analysts who worked on the problem agreed with me fully,'' Mr. Duckett said in an ABC News documentary on nuclear weapons and the Middle East. Although there have been many reports that Israel has nuclear weapons and that its nuclear program benefited from the diversion of uranium, this was the first time that a former agency official with direct knowledge had publicly made such an assertion.

Secrets, Lies, and Atomic Spies —Nova Transcript
NARRATOR: In 1949, the Soviet Union explodes its first atom bomb. But was the design stolen from American nuclear secrets? The answer would emerge only after the Cold War ended, when archives, like this one in Moscow, began to open to scholars.
HARVEY KLEHR (Historian, Emory University): I was nervous because here was this massive untapped resource. I was the first American, as far as I knew, and certainly one of the first Westerners, to be in this archive.
NARRATOR: When historians Harvey Klehr and John Haynes examined the top-secret documents they were startled. Buried in the files were lists of names of U.S. government employees from World War Two.
HARVEY KLEHR: I recognized many of the names that were hand-written: Charles Kramer, Victor Perlo and Judy Coplon.
NARRATOR: All had been accused of being Soviet spies. The charges never stuck but were they true? It would take three more years for Klehr and Haynes to learn the answer. That's when the U.S. government opened its own secret archives, revealing thousands of telegrams sent between Moscow and the Soviet diplomats in the 1940s and '50s. The telegrams were written in an unbreakable code. But, in one of the greatest counterintelligence exploits ever, American code breakers found a way to read the secret Soviet messages.
STEPHEN BUDIANSKY (Author, Battle of Wits): In terms of sheer determination and sheer marshalling of machine and manpower in innovative ways, I think it was extraordinary. And it was particularly extraordinary because the odds were so stacked against any success.
NARRATOR: The decodes reveal that a massive Soviet spy network penetrated the U.S. government during World War Two. Even more incredible, the government knew about these spies as early as 1948 but kept the information secret until the end of the Cold War.
ROBERT LAMPHERE (Retired FBI Agent): There is no question that the Communist Party USA, through the highest levels, was deeply involved in espionage against the United States. [click here to continue]
Israel and SA 'Joined In Nuclear Arms Pact' —The Guardian (London)
Israeli and South Africa are not merely potential nuclear powers, according to a new study of the Israeli armaments industry, but long-standing partners in the development of specialised battlefield nuclear weapons. In a book to be published later this month, the Israeli academic, Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, claims that the flash seen by an American spy satellite off the coast of South Africa in 1979 was almost certainly the test of a 155mm nuclear shell secretly produced by the two countries under a joint programme. Israel and South Africa share a sense of being political outcasts threatened by their neighbours, Mr Beit-Hallahmi argues, and they both see a military requirement for a 'clean,' low-yield weapon that could be used tactically in a regional war of survival. Technically, the trade-off is between South Africa supplies of enriched uranium and Israeli design expertise in both warheads and delivery systems. 'The world has been watching Israel, and sometimes South Africa, using the old, conventional notions about nuclear weaponry,' Mr Beit-Hallahmi writes. 'What some brilliant minds in Israel have developed is an original Israeli solution to an Israeli problem. South Africa has been the partner and the beneficiary. 'Both countries realised in the 1960s that what they needed was tactical nuclear weaponry. This led to the development of the nuclear shell, fired from the 155mm howitzer, or from a naval gun tested in 1979. 'Such cooperation between two countries in the development of nuclear weapons proves an extremely high level of trust and intimacy in the relations between them. An alliance cemented in plutonium is sealed in blood, and should be taken very seriously. [click here to continue]
S. Africa Missile Reportedly Built With Israeli Help —The San Diego Union-Tribune
A South African missile built with technology provided by Israel made its first flight this summer from a South African testing range, NBC News reported yesterday. Citing unidentified intelligence sources and a CIA document, the network said Jerusalem has been engaged in a partnership with Pretoria to develop a nuclear-missile capability for South Africa. NBC said Israel provides missile technology in return for a continuous supply of enriched uranium for its own nuclear warheads, and the use of a long-range test site. NBC said the Overberg test range in South Africa and a missile assembly building at the site were built for the use of both countries, and that Israeli engineers have worked there for several years. The CIA document said the first test resulting from the joint project took place July 5 when a missile flew 900 miles southeast from the test site to the Prince Edward Islands off South Africa, NBC said. The document identified the South African state arms-maker Armscor as the builder of the missile, and said Israeli technology was provided through Urdan Industries Ltd., NBC reported. The network said Israeli sources identified Gen. Chagay Regev, a former senior aide to Israeli Defense Minister Yitzak Rabin, as overseeing the project from Israel's embassy in Pretoria.

Defense Memo Warned of Israeli Spying —The Washington Post
A Defense Department security office issued a confidential warning to many military contractors in October that the Israeli government was "aggressively" trying to steal U.S. military and intelligence secrets, partly by using its "strong ethnic ties" to the United States to recruit spies. The warning, which described Israel as a "non-traditional adversary" in the world of espionage, was circulated by the Defense Investigative Service with a memo noting similar intelligence "threats" from other close U.S. allies. The warning about Israel was "canceled" and withdrawn by the Pentagon in December after senior officials decided its author had improperly singled out Jewish "ethnicity" as a specific counterintelligence concern. The warning nonetheless provoked a vigorous protest yesterday by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, a prominent Jewish organization, which made the matter public and called on the Pentagon to conduct an internal investigation. "This is a distressing charge which impugns American Jews and borders on antisemitism," said ADL Director Abraham H. Foxman in a letter to Defense Secretary William J. Perry. [click here to continue]
FBI Agents Begin Interrogation of Scientist —The Washington Post
FBI agents and government lawyers yesterday began interrogating former Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee under the terms of the plea agreement he reached with federal prosecutors last month, U.S. officials said. The Justice Department is eager to hear, for the first time, Lee's own explanation of why he transferred a vast amount of information about U.S. nuclear weapons from the classified computer system at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico to portable tapes, seven of which are missing. Federal investigators also want to know where the 60-year-old scientist kept the tapes and exactly how he destroyed them. Lee pleaded guilty last month to one count of mishandling classified information and agreed to cooperate fully in an interrogation, under oath, that can last up to 10 full days over a three-week period. In exchange, the government dismissed 58 of the original 59 felony counts against Lee, and a judge sentenced him to the nine months he had already served in jail while awaiting trial. He is now free, and, although he was fired from his job at Los Alamos for security violations, he is receiving a pension from the University of California, which operates the weapons lab under contract to the Department of Energy. During the interrogation, which is not public, the FBI can polygraph Lee. In addition, officials said, the FBI will try through investigation to corroborate what Lee tells them. If the government turns up evidence that Lee is not telling the truth, it can ask a federal judge to set aside the plea agreement and to reinstate the full 59-count indictment.

Labs to Relax Security Limits On Israelis —The New York Times
The Department of Energy has decided to lift some cumbersome security restrictions on visits by Israeli scientists to American national laboratories, Energy Department and other administration officials said today. The decision is included in an agreement scheduled to be signed later this week by Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson, who arrived today in Israel on a 10-day tour of energy-producing, mostly Middle Eastern states. The agreement expands scientific and technical cooperation between Israel and the United States in the energy area. Israel is on the agency's list of sensitive countries -- along with India, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea and other states that have refused to forswear nuclear weapons or are suspected of secretly pursuing unconventional arms.

MP Drops Bombshell On Knesset Besieged By Nuclear Row; Arab Member Forces Historic Debate On Israel's Nuclear Policy ' —The Guardian (London)
One of the last taboos of modern Israel was shattered yesterday when its nuclear weapons programme was debated for the first time in the country's parliament. Amid noisy protests, Israel was said to have stockpiled up to 300 bombs, developed with the help of the South African apartheid regime, and it planned to adapt submarines recently bought from Germany to carry nuclear missiles. The historic debate was initiated by Issam Mahoul, an Arab member of the Knesset from the leftwing Hadash group. The government reluctantly allowed the debate to proceed after he threatened to appeal to the supreme court. Repeatedly referring to Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli nuclear technician who was jailed for 18 years in 1986 for revealing Israeli nuclear secrets, Mr Mahoul accused successive governments of 'fraud, lies and deceit', in which the media and academia had collaborated, 'to brainwash and drug the public'. According to experts' estimates, he said, Israel's stock of nuclear weapons had increased to what he called 'the insane amount of 200-300'. He alleged that the purpose of the German-built submarines was 'to cruise deep in the sea and constitute a 'second strike' force in the event that Israel is attacked with nuclear weapons'. He added: 'That means, that not only do the hundreds of nuclear bombs that Israel possesses not pose (as) a defence, they actually caused the military establishment to fear a nuclear early strike, which escalates the spiral of the non-conventional arms race further and further, at the cost of billions of dollars.' The nuclear reactor at Dimona in the Negev desert had produced a huge amount of nuclear waste which, if leaked, would contaminate Israel for centuries, Mr Mahoul said. He referred to reports that Israel had exported nuclear waste to Mauritania, in north-west Africa. [click here to continue]
The Liberty Affair —The Washington Post
No single incident within memory involving the United States and a friendly nation has left a more bitter taste than the sinking of the intelligence ship USS Liberty off Gaza during the 1967 Mideast war. Thirty-four American Navy men died in an 80-minute Israeli air-and-sea assault that Israelis have attributed ever since to a case of mistaken indenty: they say they mistook the American electronic surveillance vessel for an Egyptian supply ship. An American court of inquiry found that an "unprovoked" Israeli attack had been made on a ship "properly marked as to her identity and nationality" but did not speculate on the reason for the attack. More recently, a retired Navy officer who was wounded in the attack, alleging a cover-up, has reported some telling details. [click here to continue]
USS Liberty; Questions Linger As Time Passes —The Phoenix Gazette
Twenty eight years. Tomorrow will mark another anniversary. On June 8, 1967, Israeli air and naval forces attacked the USS Liberty, a technical research ship, that was sailing in international waters off the Sinai Peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea. The day will be noted on the calendars in the homes of only a few Americans - survivors of the attack, friends and relatives of the 34 Americans killed and the 171 Americans wounded - and, perhaps, people like me, those who want a full accounting of the facts and a full measure of sanctions applied to those culpable, U.S. and Israeli officials alike. Americans familiar with the incident divide into two groups - those who believe the attack was deliberate and those who believe the attack was an unfortunate accident with the U.S. sharing a major portion of the blame for sending an unarmed ship into a hot spot of Mideast conflict.

U.S. Now Tells of Much Deeper Damage by Pollard Than Thought —The New York Times
Adamant that President Clinton refuse requests that he grant clemency to Jonathan J. Pollard, an American spy for Israel, United States military and intelligence officials say Mr. Pollard did more damage to national security than the public has been told. An article to be published in The New Yorker on Monday cites those officials as saying that Mr. Pollard, who was arrested in 1985 and is now serving a life sentence, gave Israel invaluable American intelligence secrets in exchange for payments of $50,000 and promises of $540,000 more. Intelligence officials today confirmed the gist of the magazine article, written by the investigative reporter Seymour M. Hersh. United States intelligence officials have long suspected that information delivered to Israel by Mr. Pollard was subsequently obtained by the Soviet intelligence services -- either deliberately handed over by Israel in exchange for freedom for Soviet Jews or surreptitiously obtained by Moscow's spies in Israel. Mr. Pollard and his supporters have contended that he did not do real damage to American national security and should be pardoned or paroled. [click here to continue]
Anti-Defamation League Settles Spying Lawsuit —Los Angeles Times
Six years after it was accused of illegal spying, the Anti-Defamation League agreed Monday to a federal court settlement preventing it from obtaining information from any state employee or officer when it knows--or should know--the act is unlawful. The long-debated settlement, approved by U.S. District Judge Richard Paez, marks the final chapter in a suit initiated by former San Francisco Dist. Atty. Arlo Smith amid charges that associates of the Jewish civil rights group sold information on anti-apartheid groups to the government of South Africa. Over time, the list of plaintiffs grew to include a number of groups and individuals who said the ADL hired intelligence agents with law enforcement connections to gather secret information about their activities.

Suit Says ADL, Cops in Cahoots In Running Illegal Spy Network —The San Francisco Chronicle
A coalition of civil rights and peace groups filed a federal lawsuit yesterday that accuses the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of the B'nai B'rith of running an illegal spy network in concert with San Francisco police officers and law enforcement agencies in several other U.S. cities. The suit contends that the league conspired with the San Francisco Police Department and the sheriffs departments of Los Angeles and San Diego counties to violate the free-speech and privacy rights of Arab Americans and other political activists who oppose ADL policies. The ADL, its ''fact finders'' and its ''official friends'' in big-city police departments across the nation exchanged confidential files regarding the members of several hundred organizations engaged in political dissent, the suit says.

Interview Osama Bin Laden —Frontline
... What is the meaning of your call for Muslims to take arms against America in
particular, and what is the message that you wish to send to the West in
general?
The call to wage war against America was made because America has spear-headed
the crusade against the Islamic nation, sending tens of thousands of its troops
to the land of the two Holy Mosques over and above its meddling in its affairs
and its politics, and its support of the oppressive, corrupt and tyrannical
regime that is in control. These are the reasons behind the singling out of
America as a target. And not exempt of responsibility are those Western
regimes whose presence in the region offers support to the American troops
there. We know at least one reason behind the symbolic participation of the
Western forces and that is to support the Jewish and Zionist plans for
expansion of what is called the Great Israel. Surely, their presence is not
out of concern over their interests in the region. ... Their presence has no
meaning save one and that is to offer support to the Jews in Palestine who are
in need of their Christian brothers to achieve full control over the Arab
Peninsula which they intend to make an important part of the so called Greater
Israel. ... [click here to continue]
Hunting Bin Laden: Transcript —Frontline
NARRATOR: The bombers set off in the morning for downtown Nairobi. Their target, the United States embassy, was located at one of the busiest intersections in the city. Their truck was carrying 2,000 pounds of TNT. Two hundred and thirteen people died, five thousand were wounded. Four minutes later, 600 miles away in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, another bomb. Another 11 people died, another 85 wounded. The question was why, and to what end?
U.S. ambassador to Kenya, Prudence Bushnell:
PRUDENCE BUSHNELL, U.S. Ambassador to Kenya: For two nights after the bombing, I was plagued with the question: What's the point? Really, what is the point? And since then I have heard what the point is, because Mr. Bin Laden explained the point. The point, he says, is, "I hate Americans, and I'm going to kill you."
If that's the point, it certainly is the wrong point, but it's the point of one man, one renegade, somebody who certainly doesn't have his feet in the kind of reality I deal with every day.
NARRATOR: Osama bin Laden, the man the U.S. government calls a renegade, is today the most wanted man on earth, with a $5 million bounty on his head. But who is this man? Is he just one lone renegade?
AHMED SATTAR: The American government don't get it.
LOWELL BERGMAN: They don't get it?
AHMED SATTAR: They don't get it. No.
NARRATOR: Ahmed Sattar is a close associate of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman. Five years ago the sheik was arrested, tried and convicted for conspiring to blow up the Statue of Liberty, the United Nations headquarters and the Holland Tunnel.
AHMED SATTAR: You can kill Osama bin Laden today or tomorrow. You can arrest him and put him on trial in New York or in Washington or whatever. Is this will end the problem? No. Tomorrow he will get somebody else. It's not a secret, but the American government, you know, has one enemy, is the Islamic movement all over the world, whether it's armed struggle or peaceful- or by peaceful means. I mean, you can see it. You can see it from Algeria to Afghanistan.
LOWELL BERGMAN: The United States is at war?
AHMED SATTAR: Yes, to a certain extent. Yes.
LOWELL BERGMAN: With Islam.
AHMED SATTAR: Yes. [click here to continue]
