American 'Intelligence' considers Israel biggest threat!

[muman613]

In news which is not surprising considering the current knucklehead who is called 'commanda in cheef' that the news sources have been pushing a story which any anti-semite will gobble without a second thought.... The headlines read that "American Intelligence considers Israel biggest security threat".. All the conspiracy theory nutjubs are going spastic with 'I told you so' and other immature chatter. Of course this plays into all those who want Jonathan Pollard to ROT to death in prison.

CIA Calls Israel Main US Regional Spy Threat

by Stephen Lendman

On July 28, AP reported it. Anonymous sources were cited. The CIA's Tel Aviv station chief discovered "sensitive equipment he used (at home) to communicate with" headquarters personnel in Langley, VA was compromised.

He told his superiors. It happened to Washington's previous station chief. It wasn't coincidental. It showed allies spy on each other. Israeli intelligence spies on its US counterparts.

A CIA official in Israel discovered "the food in (his) refrigerator had been rearranged." Washington blames Israel's security services for these incidents. It shows what's well known but ignored publicly.

Netanyahu spokesman Mark Regev claims "Israel does not spy on the United States of America."

He lied. Israel spies every day in every way it thinks it can get away with. Before 9/11, the FBI uncovered a massive US-based spy ring. Israel ran it. It remains active.

In the process, it betrays America. Numerous Israeli citizens are involved. They have close ties to foreign military, criminal and intelligence sources. They reportedly breached US law enforcement wiretaps earlier.

In 2011, former CIA counterintelligence specialist/military intelligence officer Philip Giraldi accused Israel of stealing everything it gets its hands on. It includes military and industrial secrets.

"The reality of Israeli spying is indisputable," he said. "Israel always features prominently in the annual FBI report."

It's called "Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage." In 2005, it said:

"Israel has an active program to gather proprietary information within the United States."

"These collection activities are primarily directed at obtaining information on military systems and advanced computing applications that can be used in Israel’s sizable armaments industry."

Proprietary commercial and industrial information is also stolen. Israel recruits spies. They use electronic methods. They hack into computers 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 annually in aid, the latest weapons and technology, and numerous other special privileges. In return, it steals US state and civilian secrets.

Despite close US/Israeli ties, "US national security officials consider Israel to be, at times, a frustrating ally and a genuine counterintelligence threat."

AP stopped short of explaining how Israel menaces regional and global nations. It's nuclear armed and dangerous. It has stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons.

US sees Israel, tight Mideast ally, as spy threat

WASHINGTON — The CIA station chief opened the locked box containing the sensitive equipment he used from his home in Tel Aviv, Israel, to communicate with CIA headquarters in Virginia, only to find that someone had tampered with it. He sent word to his superiors about the break-in.

The incident, described by three former senior U.S. intelligence officials, might have been dismissed as just another cloak-and-dagger incident in the world of international espionage, except that the same thing had happened to the previous station chief in Israel.

It was a not-so-subtle reminder that, even in a country friendly to the United States, the CIA was itself being watched.

In a separate episode, according to another two former U.S. officials, a CIA officer in Israel came home to find the food in the refrigerator had been rearranged. In all the cases, the U.S. government believes Israel's security services were responsible.
