USA says "OK TO SPY ON US"

Welcome to the United States of Israel



In a shocking decision (not really!! given the very sad FACT that Israel owns America) the AIPAC spies will now be free to continue to spy on America, American interests, continue to buy and blackmail members of Congress, the Senate and the White House. Yes, you heard it here, and how nice that they go free at the same time the big "lovefest" is taking place at the annual AIPAC spy, I mean AIPAC policy conference. Seriously, America wake up here, stop being a doormat for Israel. Let's see now, so far since the holocaust in Gaza, the Jewish lobby has succeeded in having removed countless university professors who dare to break from the Israeli issued propaganda, the Jewish lobby has taught your President a lesson, meaning Obama now understands that it's NOT actually the President who gets to pick his people, it's AIPAC and Israel who make those selections (Charles Freeman redux) and then there's the little Jane Harman/AIPAC/Pelosi thingie (which no doubt Israel has made clear that the US will NOT investigate Harman) And finally, the last lesson, Israel can spy on you whenever it wants, and never have to worry about being charged. They have free rein in America until the American people rise up against those they elect and tell them to start representing AMERICA and NOT Israel.
A US court has formally dropped espionage charges against two pro-Israeli lobbyists amid a scandal that had threatened to expose the extent of Israeli grip on US politics.
US District Judge T. S. Ellis on Monday dismissed all charges against former AIPAC lobbyists Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, three days after Justice Department prosecutors announced that handling the case would require the release of top secret military intelligence and should therefore be shelved.

Rosen and Weissman were indicted in 2005 for conspiring to obtain and leak classified information regarding Iran to the Israeli government and journalists from The Washington Post and other media outlets.

Pentagon expert Larry Franklin -- who pled guilty to passing restricted military intelligence to the two indicted lobbyists -- was sentenced in April to 12 years and seven months in prison.

AIPAC, billed as the most powerful lobbying group in Washington, has strived to distance itself from the spy case to escape further controversy for the sake of its reputation.

The controversy, however, was further fueled by revelations of the involvement of California representative Jane Harman -- a longtime member of the US House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence who has access to highly classified security information.

Harman was reportedly overheard on a wiretapped phone conversation while agreeing to act on behalf of a suspected Israeli agent and persuade the Justice Department into reducing espionage charges against Rosen and Weissman.

The Israeli agent, in return, promised to smooth the way for Harman to become the next chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

According to a Congressional Quarterly report released on April 19, the FBI was poised to question Harman about the telephone call and her interactions with the suspected Israeli agent but US Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez blocked efforts to launch an investigation.

Harman, who has denied any wrongdoing, has taken the matter up with AIPAC policymakers and has tried to turn the tables by accusing the US government of illegally recording her conversation -- a move that has shifted media attention away from AIPAC involvement in the spy case, also named the Lawrence Franklin affair.

In an address to the 2009 AIPAC policy conference on Monday, she chose to focus on the wiretapping rather than her bargaining deals with the suspected Israeli spy and called herself "a warrior on behalf of our Constitution and against abuse of power."

She went on to promise the heavyweight American politicians who had come to swear allegiance to Israel that she would "not quit on this, until I am absolutely sure that this never can happen to anyone else".

Baruch Weiss, the lawyer who helped cripple the US government's case against Rosen and Weissman, says the prosecution's loss is a "great victory" for Israel's friends.

This is not the first time pro-Israeli lobbyists charged with espionage escape trial in the US.

Stephen D. Bryen, a pro-Israel activist who played a key role in forging close ties between Israel and the Pentagon, was seen passing confidential documents to an Israeli Mossad agent in a restaurant in Washington.

Michael Saba, former executive director of the influential National Association of Arab Americans, who was witness to the security breach, promptly reported the incident to the Justice Department.

"After I reported this incident to the Justice Department, FBI and Justice Department investigators gathered sufficient evidence on Dr. Bryen's activities to recommend he be brought before an investigative grand jury for espionage," Saba explained in Armageddon Network

"The case was quietly closed, however, by Philip Heymann, the assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, a close personal friend and associate of Dr. Bryen's attorney. Bryen was never formally charged or made to account for his actions under oath," he added. link

AIPAC Initiates Another Politician


Seriously America, how is your President supposed to do what is best for America and what is best for the Middle East peace process, when you allow Zionists like AIPAC to run your country? As if we needed another example of the power of AIPAC over politicians. It is reported that New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Democratic replacement for Hillary Clinton's seat has been taught a lesson by AIPAC. Imagine this silly girl actually thinking that her job was to best represent the American people and the American government. Gillibrand had the audacity to make this statement after taking the Senate seat;
"she would advocate the "best policy" and "most effective" solutions for Israel, regardless of what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to do. And she wasn't entirely against the idea of pressure on Israel, saying that "positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement" would be "a strategic decision for the administration and our secretary of state."
Ooooooooooopsie Kirsten, did you get that statement approved by AIPAC? Guess not, see below:

Kristen!!!!! You Bad, Bad, Bad Senator!!!!!! You cannot represent America, you must represent Israel, otherwise you will be taught a lesson by AIPAC, the REAL group who runs America. Evidently, Kirsten's lesson came recently when Gillibrand was hauled in to meet with (The President of the United States of Israel) Robert Cohen AIPAC's national board member. Then, Kirsten had a sudden "Epiphany" and emerged with a brand new statement: "I share AIPAC's vision for a secure, prospering Israel, and I pledge to use my seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to continue building on the strong friendship America and Israel share,"

Gillibrand talks to AIPAC

The newest senator from New York, Kirstin Gillibrand (D) said not long after she was appointed that she would advocate the "best policy" and "most effective" solutions for Israel, regardless of what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to do. And she wasn't entirely against the idea of pressure on Israel, saying that "positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement" would be "a strategic decision for the administration and our secretary of state."

Those comments may not have been popular with some of her constituents, and this week Gillibrand met with an AIPAC leader -- and put out a press release announcing it and detailing their conversation.

According to the release, Gillibrand met with AIPAC national board member Robert Cohen "to hear his thoughts and ideas for how to support AIPAC's efforts and ensure security for Israel" as well as discuss the failure of the Durban II conference.
And now let's take a look at her NEW Statement created and approved by AIPAC, play special attention to the last paragraph for some serious insanity:
GILLIBRAND MEETS WITH AIPAC NATIONAL BOARD MEMBER IN WASHINGTON
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today met with American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) National Board Member Robert Cohen to hear his thoughts and ideas for how to support AIPAC's efforts and ensure security for Israel.

"For more than 60 years, Israel has been a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East," Senator Gillibrand said. "For the last half century, AIPAC has been a driving force behind America's support for Israel. I share AIPAC's vision for a secure, prospering Israel, and I pledge to use my seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to continue building on the strong friendship America and Israel share."

Senator Gillibrand discussed with Cohen their shared concerns about the continuing security threats facing Israel and ways to work together to help ensure Israel's prosperity. (TRANSLATION=SEND ISRAEL ALL YOUR MONEY)

Senator Gillibrand has consistently been a strong voice advocating for support for Israel. While in the House of Representatives, Senator Gillibrand cosponsored critical legislation to recognize Israel's right to defend itself against attacks from Gaza and reaffirm America's strong support for Israel.

AIPAC spies+US Political Scandal Pelosi-Harman


Wow, this is really big and filthy as it shows the evil underbelly of the Jewish Lobby's control inside American politics. Heads up America, you have yet another elected official working against your government and for Israeli agents. AIPAC is spying on your country for Israel and now using your elected officials to get off. See what Israel’s lobby money and power does in your country, read the indictment against AIPAC members HERE. Wise up, stop feeding them with billions of your taxpayers dollars., take back your country from this foreign governments control. Excellent piece from Jeff Stein at CQpolitics below,and for background on this you can read my entry from March 31st on the AIPAC spy case where they are attempting to have the trial in secret and charges reduced HERE and for more EXCELLENT reporting on this take a read over at mondoweiss here and here

Wiretap Recorded Rep. Harman Promising to Intervene for AIPAC

Rep. Jane Harman , the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the most powerful pro-Israel organization in Washington.

Harman was recorded saying she would “waddle into” the AIPAC case “if you think it’ll make a difference,” according to two former senior national security officials familiar with the NSA transcript.

In exchange for Harman’s help, the sources said, the suspected Israeli agent pledged to help lobby Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif., then-House minority leader, to appoint Harman chair of the Intelligence Committee after the 2006 elections, which the Democrats were heavily favored to win.

Seemingly wary of what she had just agreed to, according to an official who read the NSA transcript, Harman hung up after saying, “This conversation doesn’t exist.”It’s true that allegations of pro-Israel lobbyists trying to help Harman get the chairmanship of the intelligence panel by lobbying and raising money for Pelosi aren’t new.

They were widely reported in 2006, along with allegations that the FBI launched an investigation of Harman that was eventually dropped for a “lack of evidence.”

What is new is that Harman is said to have been picked up on a court-approved NSA tap directed at alleged Israel covert action operations in Washington.

And that, contrary to reports that the Harman investigation was dropped for “lack of evidence,” it was Alberto R. Gonzales, President Bush’s top counsel and then attorney general, who intervened to stop the Harman probe.

Why? Because, according to three top former national security officials, Gonzales wanted Harman to be able to help defend the administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, which was about break in The New York Times and engulf the White House.
As for there being “no evidence” to support the FBI probe, a source with first-hand knowledge of the wiretaps called that “bull****.”

"It's true," added another former national security official who was briefed on the NSA intercepts involving Harman. "She was on there."

Such accounts go a long way toward explaining not only why Harman was denied the gavel of the House Intelligence Committee, but failed to land a top job at the CIA or Homeland Security Department in the Obama administration.

The identity of the "suspected Israeli agent" could not be determined with certainty, and officials were extremely skittish about going beyond Harman's involvement to discuss other aspects of the NSA eavesdropping operation against Israeli targets, which remain highly classified.

But according to the former officials familiar with the transcripts, the alleged Israeli agent asked Harman if she could use any influence she had with Gonzales, who became attorney general in 2005, to get the charges against the AIPAC officials reduced to lesser felonies.

Rosen had been charged with two counts of conspiring to communicate, and commnicating national defense information to people not entitled to receive it. Weissman was charged with conspiracy.

AIPAC dismissed the two in May 2005, about five months before the events here unfolded.

Harman responded that Gonzales would be a difficult task, because he "just follows White House orders," but that she might be able to influence lesser officials, according to an official who read the transcript.

Justice Department attorneys in the intelligence and public corruption units who read the transcripts decided that Harman had committed a "completed crime," a legal term meaning that there was evidence that she had attempted to complete it, three former officials said.

And they were prepared to open a case on her, which would include electronic surveillance approved by the so-called FISA Court, the secret panel established by the 1979 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to hear government wiretap requests.

First, however, they needed the certification of top intelligence officials that Harman's wiretapped conversations justified a national security investigation.

Then-CIA Director Porter J. Goss reviewed the Harman transcript and signed off on the Justice Department's FISA application. He also decided that, under a protocol involving the separation of powers, it was time to notify then-House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., and Minority Leader Pelosi, of the FBI's impending national security investigation of a member of Congress — to wit, Harman.

Goss, a former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, deemed the matter particularly urgent because of Harman's rank as the panel's top Democrat.

But that's when, according to knowledgeable officials, Attorney General Gonzales intervened.MUCH MORE HERE
