According to former and present knowledgeable news reporters, some recently interviewed by the FBI, federal agents point to the Israeli secret police Mossad as the organizer and promoter of the espionage network within the US.
In one of its biggest spy investigations ever, over 100 FBI agents from city offices throughout the country interviewed thousands of potential witnesses, informants, and suspects in connection with Israeli espionage in the United States.
One former news reporter for an influential British weekly told me that he was interviewed twice, over twelve hours, about mass media collabo-ration with the Mossad in transmitting 'disinformation' and pro-Israel propaganda as "news". From conversations with journalists interviewed by the FBI, a picture emerges of large-scale, deep penetration of American so-ciety and its government by Israeli spies and their collaborators. According to my sources, the FBI has been investigating Israeli espionage networks for over 30 years; the spy investigation has been hampered by politicians of both parties in the pay of Israeli lobbies and wealthy pro-Israel campaign funders. Even the FBI has been infiltrated, according to a writer for the British Economist testimony filed by the writer in the early 1980's implicating Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz in handing over documents to Mossad agents, "was removed from FBI files and disappeared." Over the years the Israeli secret services have become ever more brazen and crude in their operations in the US. The scope includes hundreds of Israelis, Israeli-Americans (dual citizens) and their local collaborators ('sayanim'or volunteer Jewish supporters of Israeli agents outside Israel). In the aftermath of 9/11, hundreds of Israeli agents who were canvassing Government offices were rounded up and quietly deported. Quietly, not because they were not committing serious crimes, but in order to avoid arousing political attacks from the major pro-Israel organizations and their Congressional clients.
The mass expulsion of Israeli spies was a response to Israel's failure to cooperate in preventing the massacre of thousands of people in New York on September 11, 2001.
The FBI appear to have proof that Israeli Intelligence had detailed evidence of the 9/11 terror attack and failed to provide the information to US authorities. My sources go on to state that Israelis relayed information just prior to the attack that threw the FBI off the track. While the Mossad has the biggest spy-network and the most powerful support system of any country operating in the US, what is of special interest is that these operations penetrate the highest spheres of the US government, including the office of Vice President Cheney, according to FBI investigators. The prolonged investigation and the recent massive allocation of resources and agents to the Israeli connection was precisely due to the spiny issue of dealing with suspects in the highest spheres of government. According to one Phila-delphia-based Fed, one wrong step could lead to the higher-ups quashing the investigation. So the investigators extended interviews, covering all possible sources, accumulating thousands of pages of transcripts, affidavits, wiretaps, videos of anyone and everyone knowledgeable or potentially implicated in Israel's longstanding espionage operations. Despite the intensified investigations, scores of Israeli agents and recent recruits continued their operations, many receiving "protective cover" from the Philo-Zionist Christian evangelicals as well as the 'sayanim'. A key target of the FBI investigation, but one very difficult to crack, was the AL—a secret unit of experienced 'katsas' (Mossad case officers who recruit enemy agents as described by former Mossad agent, Victor Ostrovsky, in By Way of Deception).
According to my newspaper sources, passing Israeli disinformation, as instanced by the case of Judith Miller, was common practice throughout the 1980's and 1990's. Many of the top journalists and editorial writers knowingly accepted and published or broadcast Israeli disinformation disseminated by Mossad agents acting as political officers in the Israeli Embassy. A recent example: in May 2006, AIPAC—and the Senator for Tel Aviv, Charles Schumer—spread the malicious rumor that the Iranian parlia-ment had passed a law that would require Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians to wear colored badges to identify themselves as non-muslims. This brazen falsehood was parroted predictably by the State Department, which said it instanced "clear echoes... of Germany under Hitler." No such law was passed; in fact, Iranian lawmakers, including a Jewish member of parliament, said there had been no such discussion.1
