White House officials say Israel spied on Iran talks to sink nuclear deal

Posted by Jim W. Dean, Managing Editor on March 24, 2015

The White House has to cover for Capitol Hill Israeli spying because top Democrats are involved


Bibi with two of his top agents in Congress, what we call “front door” espionage


Editor's note: I am putting this up quickly, as a lot more work is going to be done on this story. But first off, the Murdoch owned and NeoCon friendly Wall Street Journal breaking this story is more than a little strange.

And then there is the “why now”…when this could have been broken before Bibi’s speech, when this spying operation was of course already known.

With the WSJ a controlled opposition asset for the Zionists, the number one reason is to take the trail off the real Iran nuke talk sources. VT has been the lonely media platform to make Israeli espionage a key part of our national security coverage when no one else will.

We have taken that onto Capitol Hill, and even the Bush White house where some of the most damaging activity was done, as Gwenyth Todd revealed. We have also been the only one to disclose that Jonathan Pollard was really spying for the Soviets with Israel just being a conduit, passing along “first strike” top secret Intel. It is not a fluke that Bibi has pushed so hard to get Pollard released.

What we are seeing here is a major effort to take the focus of Israel’s key compromised Congresspeople who get the classified briefings and are visiting with Israeli Intel operatives all the time, even in their offices.

Tel Aviv, of course could not care less if it becomes “known” that it spies on the US to it’s hearts desire. Nothing has ever been done about it because the scandal is just too huge to disclose.

Lindsey comes out of the closet...for Israel

Lindsey comes out of the closet… for Israel

Following this story we see the other shoe drop, with Lindsey Graham, just a week after announcing his is going to enter the 2016 presidential race, charging Obama with “setting the world on fire” (you just can’t make this stuff up) over having White house spokespersons speak out on the Israeli occupation.

Can you all smell the rat here?

I advise all to call Lyndsey Graham’s DC and SC offices to let him know what you think of his working for Israeli intelligence. Yes, go ahead and tell them that…and that we are looking forward to seeing him on the campaign trail.

Please make a call to the White House. Tell them you are a Veterans Today reader and want to thank the president for speaking out against the Israeli occupation. And do the same at Graham’s offices as we want them to know where the calls are coming from. We will be digging into this more Jim W. Dean ]

Current and former American officials told the Wall Street Journal the spying operation was part of a campaign by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “penetrate the negotiations and then help build a case against the emerging terms of the deal.”

The newspaper reported on Monday Israel was spying on the talks by eavesdropping and getting information from confidential US briefings, informants and diplomatic contacts in Europe.

According to the US officials, Israel shared information from the talks with American lawmakers and others to drain support from a nuclear agreement.

“It is one thing for the US and Israel to spy on each other. It is another thing for Israel to steal US secrets and play them back to US legislators to undermine US diplomacy,” an unnamed senior American official was quoted as saying by the Wall Street Journal.

American intelligence agencies learned Israel’s espionage operation when they intercepted communications among Israeli officials that carried details from the confidential talks.

However, Israel denied spying on the negotiation team of the Obama administration directly.

Tel Aviv has been persistent to undermine the talks and prevent a nuclear deal between Tehran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the US, Britain, Russia, China, France – plus Germany (P5+1 group).

Netanyahu travelled to the United States earlier this month and delivered a warning speech to the US Congress to stop a potential agreement.

On Monday, 367 members of the House of Representatives signed a letter, telling President Barack Obama that any nuclear accord must constrain Iran’s nuclear program for “decades” before Congress will roll back sanctions.

“A final comprehensive nuclear agreement must constrain Iran’s nuclear infrastructure,” the letter said. In any agreement, “Congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb, and only then will Congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief,” according to the letter.

Netanyahu’s efforts to sabotage the nuclear negotiations have angered President Obama.

Obama said the re-election of Netanyahu would not affect his support for any possible deal with Iran.

“Our goal is to get this done in a matter of weeks, not months,” Obama said in an interview with the Huffington Post.

Time for Obama to shake things up, ‘declare Israel nuclear state’

Posted by Jim W. Dean, Managing Editor on March 25, 2015

It is always a good day to catch an interview like this


… by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor … with Press TV, Tehran


Senator Menendez...working for Israel

Senator Menendez… working for Israel

[ Note: This was a 7:30 am call from Tehran this morning that I am glad I did not miss. It’s always a treat to get some good licks in on the militant Zionists.

Bibi let the cat out of the bag when the AIPAC 5th column was tasked with charging Obama with “interfering in the Israeli election”, even mentioning some possible NGO funds… heaven forbid.

After the bad public ratings that Bibi got from his speech here, the Lobby shysters went back to the well with their Congressional lackeys to attack the Iran talks with the “gang of 47 letter to Iran” — a threat to cut off all funding for US personnel travel costs who are engaged in the talks and with their latest bipartisan resolution, designed to take over the deal making.

Israel’s espionage network is exposing itself in the bright American sunlight for all of us to see. They are betting that the sheepeople will do nothing. They may be right, but maybe they have gone too far this time.

Either way, Congress has thrown down the gauntlet to Obama and the American people. Citizens United has given them access to the money they need to get re-elected, and Israeli spies will even help knock off opponents by digging up blackmail material on them.

Call the White House to thank Obama for standing up to these bums, and call your Congresscritters and ask them to move to Israel and join Likud, where they belong. And tell them you are a VT reader, so they know where the flack is coming from. They have asked for it, so let’s oblige them. ]

For the importance of this topic, I ran the phone interview out longer than usual… to six minutes to get as much in as possible. Press TV published a rare magazine layout article on it, so I assume they were happy. You can listen to it here. It is always a good day to catch an interview like this… jd.

Following reports of Israel’s espionage against US-Iran nuclear talks, it is time for the Obama administration to “declare Israel a nuclear state”, says Jim W. Dean, a columnist and political commentator based in Atlanta.

Current and former American officials told the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday the spying operation was part of a campaign by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “penetrate the negotiations and then help build a case against the emerging terms of the deal.”

Dean told Press TV in a phone interview that “this comes as no surprise,” as Tel Aviv has been engaged in spy activities in the United States in other different areas including “industrial espionage to steal trade secrets”.

“Israel is a kind of parasite on the West. They have the right to just steal and take anything possible.”

Bibi’s move felony

Dean voiced surprise that White House officials did not reveal Israel’s spy activities against the talks earlier this month when Bibi gave an anti-Iran speech at the US Congress.

“That puts Congress negotiating with foreign agents to undermine the US foreign policy,” Dean said, adding, since Bibi was not on an official visit, “Technically, he is a private citizen talking to US Congressmen to subvert the US foreign policy through undermining the US president. That’s actually a felony.”

The American commentator warned about the “incestuous marriage” of Israel and the Congress, which serves Tel Aviv’s interests “first” whenever there is conflict between the regime and Washington.

The new espionage reports mean that “Israel is attacking the national security of the US quite openly,” the analyst said, adding, “I would challenge Obama to declare Israel a nuclear state”.

Israel denies reports

Following the espionage leak, the Israeli minister of military affairs, Moshe Yaalon, denied it, saying,

“There is no such thing as Israel spying on the Americans”. Other Israeli officials, namely Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, responded to the reports likewise.

The talks between the US and Iran are part of broader negotiations between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 group — Russia, China, Britain, France and the US plus Germany — to reach a comprehensive agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program as a deadline slated for July 1 draws closer.

On Friday, the latest round of nuclear negotiations ended in the Swiss lakeside city of Lausanne after six days of intensive talks with both parties citing progress.

Paul Craig Roberts: How The US Government and US military Became Murder, Inc.


BY ON ·


(Paul Craig Roberts) Andrew Cockburn has written a must-read book. The title is Kill Chain: The Rise Of The High-Tech Assassins. The title could just as well be: How the US Government and US Military Became Murder, Inc.

The US military no longer does war. It does assassinations, usually of the wrong people. The main victims of the US assassination policy are women, children, village elders, weddings, funerals, and occasionally US soldiers mistaken for Taliban by US surveillance operating with the visual acuity of the definition of legal blindness.

Cockburn tells the story of how the human element has been displaced by remote control killing guided by misinterpretation of unclear images on screens collected by surveillance drones and sensors thousands of miles away. Cockburn shows that the “all-seeing” drone surveillance system is an operational failure but is supported by defense contractors because of its high profitability and by the military brass because general officers, with the exception of General Paul Van Ripper, are brainwashed in the belief that the revolution in military affairs means that high-tech devices replace the human element. Cockburn demonstrates that this belief is immune to all evidence to the contrary. The US military has now reached the point that Secretary of Defense Hagel deactivated both the A-10 close support fighter and the U-2 spy plane in favor of the operationally failed unmanned Global Hawk System. With the A-10 and U-2 went the last platforms for providing a human eye on what is happening on the ground.

The surveillance/sensor technology cannot see human footprints in the snow. Consequently, the drone technology concluded that a mountain top was free of enemy and sent a detachment of unsuspecting SEALS to be shot up. Still insisting no enemy present, a second group of SEALS were sent to be shot up, and then a detachment of Army Rangers. Finally, an A-10 pilot flew over the scene and reported the enemy’s presence in force.

By 2012 even the US Air Force, which had been blindly committed to the unmanned drone system, had experienced more failure than could any longer be explained away. The Air Force admitted that the 50-year old U-2 could fly higher and in bad weather and take better pictures than the expensive Global Hawk System and declared the Global Hawk system scrapped.

The decision was supported by the 2011 report from the Pentagon’s test office that the drone system was “not operationally effective.” Among its numerous drawbacks was its inability to carry out assigned missions 75% of the time. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Congress that in addition to the system’s unacceptable failure rate, the drone system “has fundamentally priced itself out of our ability to afford it.”

As Cockburn reports: “It made no difference. Congress, led by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon and Democratic Congressman Jim Moran (whose northern Virginia district hosts the headquarters of both Northrop and Raytheon) effortless brushed aside these pleas, forcing the Air Force to keep buying the unwanted drone.”

Cockburn provides numerous examples of the utter failure of the unmanned revolution ushered in by unrealistic dreamers, such as Andrew Marshall, John Foster, William Perry, and David Deptula, who have done much harm to the US military and American taxpayers. The failure stories are legion and sad. Almost always the victims are the innocent going about their everyday affairs.

The book opens with the story of three vehicles crammed with people from the same village heading to Kabul. Some were students returning to school in Kabul, some were shopkeepers heading to the capital to buy supplies, others were unemployed men on their way to Iran seeking work, and some were women bringing gifts for relatives. This collection of ordinary people, represented on screens by vague images, was willfully mistaken, as the reproduced conversations between drone operators and assassins show, for a senior Taliban commander leading forces to attack a US Special Forces patrol. The innocent civilians were blown to smithereens.

The second chapter tells of the So Tri, an indigenous people in the remote wilderness of southeastern Laos who were bombed for nine years because the stupid American military sowed their environment with sensors that called down bombs when human presence was detected. High-tech warfare misidentified the villagers with Viet Cong moving through jungle routes.

One heartbreaking story follows another. If surveillance suspects the presence of a High Value Target in a restaurant, regardless of nominal restrictions on the number of innocents who can be murdered as the “collateral damage” part of the strike, the entire restaurant and all within are destroyed by a hellfire missile. Remember that the Israelis denounce terrorists for exploding suicide vests inside Israeli restaurants. What the US military does is even worse.

On other occasions the US assassinates an underling of a High Value Target on the
assumption that the Target will attend the funeral which is obliterated from the air whether the Target is present or not.

As the murders are indiscriminate, the US military defines all males killed to be valid targets. Generally, the US will not admit the deaths of non-Targets, and some US officials have declared there to be no such deaths. Blatant and obvious lies issue without shame in order to protect the “operationally ineffective” and very expensive high-tech production runs that mean billions of taxpayer dollars for the military/security complex and comfortable 7-figure employment salaries with contractors after retirement for the military brass.

When you read this book you will weep for your country ruled as it is by completely immoral and inhumane monsters. But Cockburn’s book is not without humor. He tells the story of Marine Lt. General Paul Van Riper, the scourge of the Unmanned Revolution in Military affairs, who repeatedly expressed contempt for the scientifically unsupported theories of unmanned war. To humiliate Gen. Ripper with a defeat in a massive war game as leader of the enemy Red force against the high-tech American Blue force, he was called out of retirement to participate in a war game stacked against him.

The Blue force armored with a massive database (Operational Net Assessment) and overflowing with acronyms was almost instantly wiped out by General Ripper. He sank the entire aircraft carrier fleet and the entire Blue force army went down with it. The war was over. The 21st century US high-tech, effects-based military was locked into a preset vision and was beaten hands down by a maverick Marine general with inferior forces.

The Joint Forces Command turned purple with rage. Gen. Ripper was informed that the outcome of the war game was unacceptable and would not stand. The sunken fleet magically re-floated, the dead army was resurrected, and the war was again on, only this time restriction after restriction was placed on the Red force. Ripper was not allowed to shoot down the Blue force’s troop transports. Ripper was ordered to turn on all of the Red force’s radars so that the Red forces could be easily located and destroyed. Umpires ruled, despite the facts, that all of Ripper’s missile strikes were intercepted. Victory was declared for high-tech war. Ripper’s report on the total defeat of the Blue force, its unwarranted resurrection, and the rigged outcome was promptly classified so that no one could read it.

The highly profitable Revolution in Military Affairs had to be protected at all costs along with the reputations of the incompetent generals that comprise today’s high command.

The infantile behavior of the US military compelled to create a victory for its high-tech, but legally blind, surveillance warfare demonstrates how far removed from the ability to conduct real warfare the US military is. What the US military has done in Afghanistan and Iraq is to create far more enemies than it has killed. Every time high-tech killing murders a village gathering, a wedding or funeral, or villagers on the way to the capital, which is often, the US creates hundreds more enemies. This is why after 14 years of killing in Afghanistan, the Taliban now control most of the country. This is why Islamist warriors have carved a new country out of Syria and Iraq despite eight years of American sacrifice in Iraq estimated by Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes to have cost Americans a minimum of $3 trillion. The total failure of the American way of war is obvious to all, but the system rolls on autonomously.

The Revolution in Military Affairs has decapitated the US military, which no longer has the knowledge or ability or human tools to conduct war. If the crazed Russophobic US generals get their way and end up in confrontation with Russia, the American forces will be destroyed. The humiliation of this defeat will cause Washington to take the war nuclear.

Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds in northern Nigeria town: residents

DAMASAK, Nigeria Tue Mar 24, 2015 4:13pm EDT

(Reuters) - Boko Haram militants have kidnapped more than 400 women and children from the northern Nigerian town of Damasak that was freed this month by troops from Niger and Chad, residents said on Tuesday.

There was no immediate official confirmation of the figure, but the Islamist group has previously carried out mass kidnappings. Boko Haram's abduction last April of nearly 300 schoolgirls in the region stirred international outrage and drew global attention to the group's six-year insurgency.

"They took 506 young women and children (in Damasak). They killed about 50 of them before leaving," a trader called Souleymane Ali told Reuters in the town. "We don’t know if they killed others after leaving, but they took the rest with them."

Troops from Niger and Chad last week found the bodies of at least 70 people in an apparent execution site under a bridge leading out of Damasak, where the streets remain strewn with debris and burnt-out cars after the fighting.

Ali said his wife and three of his daughters were among those seized.

"Two of them were supposed to get married this year. (Boko Haram) said 'They are slaves so we’re taking them because they belong to us'," he said.

Mohamed Ousmane, another trader, said the militants took his two wives and three of their children.

A 40-year-old resident who gave her name as Fana said fighters had rounded up captives in the main mosque before taking them out of town. She said she saved her two children by hiding them in her house.

Boko Haram wants to carve out a caliphate in northern Nigeria. A sharp increase in violence forced a delay in planned elections last month in Africa's most populous country.

"NO POINT TRYING TO LEAVE"

Nigerian, Chadian and Niger forces have driven militants out of a string of towns in simultaneous offensives over the past month. Nigeria says all but three of the 20 local government areas occupied at the beginning of the year have been freed.

Nigeria's rearranged election is now due to take place on Saturday.

Niger troops distributed food on Tuesday to a handful of residents who remained in Damasak. A few others returned to check their houses but left for the bush again.

Ali said he was just hoping life would return to normal.

"We’ve seen the worst possible things you can imagine, so after a certain point there was no point in trying to leave," he said. "They killed all our friends, our family members, so we just submitted ourselves to God."

Glenn’s bold new prediction: A new world order is imminent

by Meghan
Tuesday, Mar 25, 2014 at 1:40 PM EDT

New York City always seems to bring out the more cynical side of Glenn, and this trip is no different. Glenn opened the radio program this morning with a bold and somewhat dire prediction that draws from some of the connections he made in his Fox News days. “

Glenn is back,” Pat joked. “The positive, happy, wonderful Glenn is over.”

“Well, no it’s not over,” Glenn interjected. “It’s just Glenn needs to pop in from time to time and give everybody a reality check.”

In the wake of Russia’s annexation of Ukraine and the BBC report confirmed Russia and China played a role in the 2008 financial crisis, Glenn believes a new world order is beginning to emerge. That order, according to Glenn, will be comprised of China, Russia, socialist outliers, and poverty zones.


Before diving into the crux of the new prediction, Glenn offered a bit of context:

I have to give it a little context. Remember that China verified to Secretary Paulson that Russia said they were trying to collapse our economy… So we know that that happened according to Secretary Paulson. We know that China, at the time, was against that move because they needed us. What they had to do was divest themselves of us pretty much. Stop buying all of our treasuries and slowly get off of the United States and they have. They have not divested, but they have stopped buying a lot of stuff. And they have also started to become a little hostile towards the United States and what we have done to their money…

So now, China and Russia are beginning to work together. And both China and Russia are going to trade outside of the U.S. dollar, which is something entirely new and very, very dangerous because once they get off the dollar, then the rest of the world will get off of the dollar because China and Russia have formed some sort of a pact.

The other news I think is important to report today and you won’t hear this everywhere: The Polish reserves have been called into play… The Polish politicians are telling the world press that this is just a drill… No it’s not. It’s never happened before where men who are of serving age have been called up into the reserves and are starting to train.

The reason why that is happening is because of what happened in Crimea. And the belief and anybody who is in a former Soviet state sees the writing on the wall. Putin can go in and do whatever it is he wants and nobody is going to stop him…

I want you to remember that what happened… Putin, on Monday, said, ‘I’m not going to annex Crimea. That’s ridiculous. I’m not going to do that. We’re just going in to help them keep the peace.’ By Friday he signed the annexation. He could tell that the world didn’t care much so he just signed it.

With this background in mind, Glenn believes World War III could be on the horizon, and it would be the war that puts the former Soviet Union back together.

“Now, I want you to understand. Here are your choices: Do nothing and look at possible World War III. What you will see is Russia will start to sweep across and gather its old satellites and then possibly more than it’s old satellites. And we will have the same situation that we had on our hands in World War II,” Glenn explained. “But things are different than they were in World War II. So you can either sit it out and do nothing, which is, quite honestly, my recommendation… Or you can get involved in World War III.”

This encroachment theory is an extension of a chalkboard Glenn used to display on his set at Fox. At the time, Glen laid out a situation in which a spark lit in Tunisia would set the Middle East on fire. The unrest would spread from there – first to Europe and then to the rest of the world. The current situation is just a “more formulated updated version” of that prediction.

Here’s the prediction… This is an extension of what I wrote up on the board years ago at Fox that everybody said was crazy. It would start in Tunisia and then it would spread across the Middle East into Europe and the rest of the world,” Glenn explained. “So this is just a more formulated updated version of this. The unrest will spread. Communist, Radicals, and Islamists will work together to destabilize the Middle East and the Western World. It will spread to Europe, first to restore the Soviet borders, next our enemies will see our lack of unity, military, and financial resolve and collapse and transform the U.S. and the West. The new world order will be China, Russia, socialist outliers, and poverty zones.”

History seems to bear out some version of this prediction very well. As not to be totally doom and gloom, Glenn encouraged the audience to pray.

“It’s absolutely incredible. So may I ask that you say your prayers. May I ask that you pray for the leadership, pray for our country. Pray for our military,” Glenn said. “In the next couple of weeks, we’re probably making the biggest decisions of our lives… If we choose the wrong path, we stay asleep in the ‘Matrix’ or something like that. I’m not really sure. I know if we choose incorrectly, it probably does end up with us in a pod with wires stuck in the back of our head. So we just have to be very careful.”
