De Trump administratie stapelt de ene blunder op de andere, de laatste is de verklaring van Trump dat het land weer opengaat, terwijl het aantal besmettingen en sterfgevallen bleef stijgen….* Trump heeft de Coronacrisis in eerste instantie gebagatelliseerd, met de uitlating dat het Coronavirus niets anders is dan een gewone verkoudheid…. Toen bleek dat dit virus ‘wat meer was’ dan een verkoudheid, werd de schuld voor het disfunctioneren op dit dossier door de Trump administratie in eerste instantie aan China toegeschreven, maar bij uitblijven van vertrouwen bij het volk, wijt men nu haar falen aan machinaties van Rusland…..
‘Machinaties’ als een grote zending van Russische hulpgoederen aan de VS vanwege het Coronavirus, waarmee Rusland de presidentsverkiezingen in de VS zou manipuleren….. (en nee geen dankjewel aan het Russische volk….) Dit terwijl Trump de fooi van $ 1,200.– die hij aan een groot deel van de VS bevolking geeft middels een cheque, deze laat voorzien van zijn handtekening, hoe meer openlijk en belachelijk kan je verkiezingen later dit jaar manipuleren??? Dit is niets anders dan stemmen kopen, terwijl velen die cheque niet eens kunnen innen daar ze tot de neus in de schulden staan……
Beste bezoeker dat was het nog niet, nee de VS beschuldigt Rusland ervan met haar hulp te zien hoe kwetsbaar de VS is, om dit te kunnen gebruiken in een oorlog tegen de VS….. ha! ha! ha! ha! Alsof Putin erop zit te wachten de VS aan te vallen!! Als de Trump administratie in Moskou zou zitten i.p.v. Washington, hadden we al lang in Wereldoorlog 3 gezeten, het is te danken aan het verantwoorde optreden van Putin en zijn regering dat dit niet het geval is!!
Overigens vormen deze VS leugens de zoveelste manipulatie van de VS presidentsverkiezingen, waar nog de volgende leugen van Trump aan toegevoegd kan worden: “We’re doing tremendous testing”, terwijl er een enorm tekort is aan testen in de VS!!
Met het beschuldigen van landen als China en Rusland wordt er tevens haat gezaaid tegen burgers van die landen en zoals dat in veel landen gaat en zeker in de VS, kan je erop wachten dat deze burgers, ook al zijn ze in de VS geboren, zullen worden aangevallen door idioten die zich laten ophitsen door dit soort haatzaaien….. Zoals hindoes in India moslims de schuld hebben gegeven voor het verspreiden van het Coronavirus, waardoor moslims worden aangevallen (en die mensen hebben het, om het zachtjes uit te drukken, al niet makkelijk in India….)…….
Het volgende artikel komt van Informetion Clearing House, werd geschreven door Philip Giraldi en verscheen eerder op StrategicCulture Foundation. Jammer dat ook Giraldi China beschuldigt van laksheid als het gaat om het begin van de Coronacrisis, terwijl elke land dat als eerste met een dergelijk virus te maken krijgt in paniek zal raken. Verder moet gezegd worden dat een Chinese arts e.e.a. aan de grote klok hing, daar hij met de handen in het haar zat over een aantal overlijdens die niet strookten met een gewoon griepvirus. Deze man werd ontboden bij de politie, daar men in eerste instantie te maken leek te hebben met iemand die angst verspreidde onder het volk. De man kon na een gesprek naar huis en een dag later werd er alarm geslagen, me dunkt behoorlijk snel!! Deze arts is jammer genoeg zelf overleden aan het virus…… Met name het westen heeft veel te traag gereageerd op de eerste berichten uit China en daarvoor geeft men China de schuld >> hoe zot kan het gaan in de westerse internationale politiek…… (ook in andere westerse landen wijst men met hetzelfde verwijt naar China als de schuldige voor het grote aantal doden….)
The Russians Get Blamed Again, but Who Is Really Subverting American Democracy?
By Philip Giraldi
April 16, 2020 “Information Clearing House” –It is perhaps inevitable that a major health panic like the coronavirus will have political ramifications based on whether those most affected by the illness will perceive that the government performed well or poorly in the crisis. The government for its part will engage in a blame game which seeks to place responsibility for what did not go well on an outside party. It should surprise no one to learn, for example, that Hindus in India have been blaming a Muslim group for the proliferation of the virus in their country, an accusation that has led to rioting and other violence directed against Muslims in general and which has produced some deaths.
In the United States blame for the health crisis has been more diversified and has been largely construed along existing political fault lines. Democrats are reasonably enough blaming President Donald Trump for the delays and failures to supply medical equipment while Republicans are seeking to exonerate the poor performance by the president, chiefly by editing the existing record to expunge Trump’s initial dismissal of the virus as little more than a common cold and even as a “hoax.” That refusal to recognize the severity of the epidemic cost the country several weeks at a minimum, time that might have been employed to get on top of the disease before it had a chance to gain a foothold.
More interesting perhaps is the apparent desire to find a foreign enemy as the source of the virus. That the virus originated in Wuhan is the majority view of the “experts,” though it is not clear if its genetics were the result of laboratory manipulation or were a naturally occurring mutation. And for its part, the Chinese government at a minimum was not particularly forthcoming when the virus began to spread in Wuhan and the surrounding province, failing to send an appropriate signal to the international community that a potentially highly contagious and lethal new virus had made an appearance.
In the U.S., Republican politicians and pundits, as well as the president, have exploited the uncertainty by persisting in calling the coronavirus the “Wuhan virus” or the “China virus.” There has also been considerable chatter about how Beijing is “to blame” for it, which, of course, intentionally shifts the narrative away from the actions or lack thereof by the American president. And so as not to ignore the real conspiracy theorists, there are also the stories now circulating about how the U.S. government helped fund research at the Wuhan Institute that involved bats, one of the possible sources of the virus. Additional theories being promoted by Rush Limbaugh and others promote the belief that the Chinese communists deliberately created and unleashed the virus to destroy western capitalism.**
It was perhaps inevitable that somehow Russia would eventually be brought into the preferred narrative to serve as a distraction that would derail the media’s 24/7 focus on the White House and its developing response to the virus. The Russian government’s shipment of a planeload of badly needed medical supplies to the United States several weeks ago notwithstanding, Moscow and President Vladimir Putin continue to be useful punching bags for both the national media and both parties in congress.
The latest tale from Yahoo news of Kremlin perfidy is also somewhat of a spy story, no doubt intended to enhance its appeal. It has not really caught on with the public yet because the panic over the virus has overwhelmed the news cycle, but there is still plenty of time to seek and find a foreign enemy who is wanting to do harm to the United States of America.
According to the news report, which is based on a paper prepared by analysts at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Russian intelligence officers are analyzing the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic to determine vulnerabilities in the American government’s procurement and emergency response system. The April 6th study, prepared by the DHS Counterintelligence Mission Center, states that the Russians are “likely are watching the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic” as “intelligence collection on medical supply chain vulnerabilities could inform future operations aimed at weakening key logistical elements in preparation for a wartime attack, or opportunistically during an emergency.”
In other words, Moscow is looking for vulnerabilities in what amounts to America’s civil defense response capability in case it has to go to war with Washington. Given the lack of evidence confirming any desire on Vladimir Putin’s part to engage in a nuclear conflict with the United States that would likely destroy most of the planet, it is difficult to imagine that Russia is war planning in any serious way. But, according to some sources, a different picture does plausibly emerge from the Kremlin’s activity, which is that Russia is working to portray itself as a competent player in the war against the coronavirus while Donald Trump and his European counterparts are being seen as irresponsible fumblers.
Moscow has indeed been extending a hand to Europeans even as the Germans have been complaining about the White House conniving to steal their medical supplies. Several plane loads of medical equipment and more than 100 personnel flew to Italy a month ago. According to Italian sources, some of the Russians were intelligence officers making independent assessments of how effectively the Italians have been able to respond to the medical crisis.
All of that should surprise no one, as that is what intelligence officers do, though it does not necessarily mean that anyone is necessarily preparing for war. And the DHS report speculates wildly when it suggests that the coronavirus operation is part and parcel of “Russia’s ongoing 2020 election interference,” a largely undemonstrated hot button designed to make the hawks in congress swoon with pleasure.
If anyone is looking for Russiagate 2, this is exactly how it begins. Blame China, and if that does not seem to be working, look for the perfidious hand of Vladimir Putin, who clearly spends all day in his office dreaming up schemes whereby providing medical supplies to the U.S. and Europe is all part of some master plan to subvert the 2020 presidential election. But wait a minute, the ballot will feature Trump against Joe Biden. Putin is too late. The election has already been subverted.

================================== *Trump stelde dit voordat er een teruggang was te zien in het aantal sterfgevallen in de VS, echter pas de laatste 2 dagen blijft het aaantal doden daar onder de 2.000 (per dag).
** China ontwikkelt een virus om het ‘perfide’ westen aan te vallen en laat dit vervolgens in eigen land los op de bevolking…… Wat een imebeciel moet je zijn om zoiets te geloven!
Vanmorgen op BNR (rond 8.43 u.) het bericht dat de KLM weer over het oorlogsgebied Iran – Irak vliegt. Een expertgroep beoordeelt van dag tot dag of het veilig is om over dit gebied te vliegen……. De partner van de KLM, Air France, vliegt als andere luchtvaartmaatschappijen niet over dit gebied……. Blijkbaar heeft de KLM niets geleerd van het vlucht MH17 neerhalen, toen men van de luchtvaartautoriteiten toestemming kreeg om te vliegen, ondanks dat alle Oekraïense radarposten waren uitgeschakeld en het vliegtuig een iets andere route moest nemen dan men gewend was, een route recht over het oostelijke Oekraïense oorlogsgebied (beide zaken doet men normaal gesproken nooit!)…….
De luchtmacht en de marine van de VS hebben een technologie ontwikkeld waarmee radar gefopt kan worden, dus ofwel men ziet niets of men ziet een vliegtuig dat er niet is….. The Guardian heeft bericht dat de VS al langer bezig is met de ontwikkeling van een technologie waarmee op afstand de beschikbare Iraanse raketten kunnen worden gemanipuleerd…… Moch e.e.a. hebben plaatsgevonden is het vrijwel zeker dat de VS erachter zit, het zou dan de zoveelste false flag operatie zijn van deze wereldwijd verreweg grootste terreurentiteit…….. (de VS heeft vorig jaar al erkend dat de CIA al jaren bezig is de boel te verstoren in Iran en op zo’n manier probeert een staatsgreep te forceren……)
Meer dan schandalig dat de KLM weer over oorlogsgebied vliegt…. Over deze vreselijke vliegramp gesproken: Information Clearing House bracht op 20 januari het bericht (origineel van de ‘American Herald Tribune‘) dat de Iraanse luchtverdediging ten tijde van het neerhalen van vlucht PS752 met opzet werd gestoord…. Verder schrijft Giraldi o.a. over de videoopnames die ‘s morgens vroeg op afstand werden gemaakt, ‘toevallig precies op het goede moment’ en dan ook nog ‘geheel toevallig’ op het deel van de lucht gericht waar te zien is dat vlucht 752 wordt getroffen….

Who Targeted Ukraine Airlines Flight 752?
Iran Shot It Down But There May Be More to the Story
By Philip Giraldi
January 20, 2020 “Information Clearing House” – The claim that Major General Qassem Soleimani was a “terrorist” on a mission to carry out an “imminent” attack that would kill hundreds of Americans turned out to be a lie, so why should one believe anything else relating to recent developments in Iran and Iraq? To be sure, Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 departing from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport on the morning of January 8th with 176 passengers and crew on board was shot down by Iranian air defenses, something which the government of the Islamic Republic has admitted, but there just might be considerably more to the story involving cyberwarfare carried out by the U.S. and possibly Israeli governments.
To be sure, the Iranian air defenses were on high alert fearing an American attack in the wake of the U.S. government’s assassination of Soleimani on January 3rd followed by a missile strike from Iran directed against two U.S. bases in Iraq. In spite of the tension and the escalation, the Iranian government did not shut down the country’s airspace. Civilian passenger flights were still departing and arriving in Tehran, almost certainly an error in judgment on the part of the airport authorities. Inexplicably, civilian aircraft continued to take off and land even after Flight 752 was shot down.
Fifty-seven of the passengers on the flight were Canadians of Iranian descent, leading Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to point the finger both at the Iranian government for its carelessness and also at Washington, observing angrily that the Trump Administration had deliberately and recklessly sought to “escalate tensions” with Iran through an attack near Baghdad Airport, heedless of the impact on travelers and other civilians in the region.
What seems to have been a case of bad judgements and human error does, however, include some elements that have yet to be explained. The Iranian missile operator reportedly experienced considerable “jamming” and the planes transponder switched off and stopped transmitting several minutes before the missiles were launched. There were also problems with the communication network of the air defense command, which may have been related.
The electronic jamming coming from an unknown source meant that the air defense system was placed on manual operation, relying on human intervention to launch. The human role meant that an operator had to make a quick judgment in a pressure situation in which he had only moments to react. The shutdown of the transponder, which would have automatically signaled to the operator and Tor electronics that the plane was civilian, instead automatically indicated that it was hostile. The operator, having been particularly briefed on the possibility of incoming American cruise missiles, then fired.
The two missiles that brought the plane down came from a Russian-made system designated SA-15 by NATO and called Tor by the Russians. Its eight missiles are normally mounted on a tracked vehicle. The system includes both radar to detect and track targets as well as an independent launch system, which includes an Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system functionality capable of reading call signs and transponder signals to prevent accidents. Given what happened on that morning in Tehran, it is plausible to assume that something or someone deliberately interfered with both the Iranian air defenses and with the transponder on the airplane, possibly as part of an attempt to create an aviation accident that would be attributed to the Iranian government.
The SA-15 Tor defense system used by Iran has one major vulnerability. It can be hacked or “spoofed,” permitting an intruder to impersonate a legitimate user and take control. The United States Navy and Air Force reportedly have developed technologies “that can fool enemy radar systems with false and deceptively moving targets.” Fooling the system also means fooling the operator. The Guardian has also reported independently how the United States military has long been developing systems that can from a distance alter the electronics and targeting of Iran’s available missiles.
The same technology can, of course, be used to alter or even mask the transponder on a civilian airliner in such a fashion as to send false information about identity and location. The United States has the cyber and electronic warfare capability to both jam and alter signals relating to both airliner transponders and to the Iranian air defenses. Israel presumably has the same ability. Joe Quinn at Sott.netalso notes an interested back story to those photos and video footage that have appeared in the New York Times and elsewhere showing the Iranian missile launch, the impact with the plane and the remains after the crash, to include the missile remains. They appeared on January 9th, in an Instagram account called ‘Rich Kids of Tehran‘. Quinn asks how the Rich Kids happened to be in “a low-income housing estate on the city’s outskirts [near the airport] at 6 a.m. on the morning of January 8th with cameras pointed at the right part of the sky in time to capture a missile hitting a Ukrainian passenger plane…?”
Put together the Rich Kids and the possibility of electronic warfare and it all suggests a premeditated and carefully planned event of which the Soleimani assassination was only a part. There have been riots in Iran subsequent to the shooting down of the plane, blaming the government for its ineptitude. Some of the people in the street are clearly calling for the goal long sought by the United States and Israel, i.e. “regime change.” If nothing else, Iran, which was widely seen as the victim in the killing of Soleimani, is being depicted in much of the international media as little more than another unprincipled actor with blood on its hands. There is much still to explain about the downing of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752.

Het uitvoerige 9/11 rapport, n.a.v. de aanslagen in 2001 laat veel vragen open, vragen als waarom werden een fiks aantal zaken niet onderzocht, terwijl ze wel degelijk heel belangrijk waren (en zijn) voor het onderzoek naar die aanslagen. Niet alleen werd Saoedi-Arabië afgeschermd terwijl het grootste deel van de ‘daders’uit dat land kwam, maar ook een groep Israëlische mannen die met de Twin Towers brandend op de achtergrond feest vierden en elkaar ‘high fives gaven’, waarbij het geheel werd gefilmd…….
‘Daders’: dus degenen die de vliegtuigen zouden hebben gevlogen, waar het volgens deskundigen onmogelijk is voor slecht opgeleide piloten om een vliegtuig een gebouw in te vliegen als op de manier die werd gebruikt op 11 september 2001 met de Twin Towers….. Bovendien is het meer dan duidelijk dat de torens en gebouw 7 van het WTC werden ondermijnd met explosieven, vliegtuigen zouden onmogelijk het instorten van deze gebouwen kunnen veroorzaken, zo stelt intussen een heel leger aan deskundigen……
E.e.a. kan maar tot 1 conclusie leiden: de geheime diensten van de VS hebben meegewerkt aan deze aanslagen….. Niet voor niets dat de VS de grootste baat had bij het instorten van de Twin Towers en gebouw 7 van het WTC……. Ten eerste had men weer een vijand nodig voor het militair-industrieel complex, een vijand die er niet meer was met het verdwijnen van de Sovjet-Unie, tien jaar eerder….. Ten tweede dacht men hiermee een excuus te hebben om Irak aan te vallen, de wens van de psychopathische Bush administratie….. Ten derde verdween een groot deel van de schulden van de VS. Ten vierde kon men het instorten van de beurs (die al gaande was voor 9/11) afwentelen op een terreuraanslag. Ten vijfde kwamen met de aanslagen van 9/11 enorme kapitalen vrij voor de geheime diensten van de VS., bovendien werden de bevoegdheden van die diensten fiks uitgebreid ten koste van de privacy van burgers…….. Ook Israël, de ‘grote’ bondgenoot van de VS, had baat bij de aanslagen, zoals Palestijnenslachter Natanyahu zelf opmerkte….. Mensen er zijn nog meer redenen, zoals het oppompen van de populariteit van Bush, die op een dieptepunt was beland, maar de hiervoor genoemde redenen zijn wel de belangrijkste. Echter vergeet niet dat Israël naast het hieraan voorgaande, belang had bij de ‘war on terror’ die begon met de 9/11 aanslagen en waarbij een aantal vijanden van Israël het doelwit werden van VS terreur, want zo moet je de ongebreidelde agressie (o.a. in de vorm van illegale oorlogen) van de VS zien….. Niet voor niets dat de Bush administratie alles op alles zette om Irak, een vijand van Israël, de aanslagen in de schoenen te schuiven (zo zou Saddam Hoessein Al Qaida, NB een terreurgroep die tot zijn grootste vijanden behoorde, hebben ondersteund bij de aanslagen). De Bush administratie begon de illegale oorlog in 2003 uiteindelijk op basis van de leugens over massavernietigingswapens, een oorlog die intussen aan meer dan 1,5 miljoen Irakezen het leven heeft gekost…….

Israel’s Role In 9/11
FBI evidence supports prior knowledge or complicity
By Philip Giraldi
June 03, 2019 “Information Clearing House” – The tale of 9/11 will just not go away, largely because it is clear to anyone who reads the lengthy 9/11 Commission Report that many issues that should have been subject to inquiry were ignored for what would appear to be political reasons. The George W. Bush Administration quite obviously did not want to assume any blame for what had happened and that bias also extended to providing cover for U.S. “allies,” most particularly Saudi Arabia and Israel. Those who have sought the truth about 9/11 have been persistent in their attempts to find out information that was suppressed but they have been blocked repeatedly in spite of numerous FOIA requests. Now, eighteen years after the event, there has been something like a breakthrough, penetrating the wall of silence erected by the government. FBI reports on the possible Israeli role in 9/11 were released on May 7th and they serve to support speculation by myself and other former intelligence officers that Israel, at a minimum, had detailed prior knowledge of what was to take place. More than that, Israeli intelligence officers working in the United States might well have enabled certain aspects of the conspiracy. To recount some of what is already known and suspected, one should first examine the 2016 release of a heavily edited and redacted 28 pages long annex to the 9/11 Commission Report that explored the Saudi Arabian role in the terrorist attack . The section concluded that the Saudi government may have played a direct role in 9/11 by assisting two of the hijackers, including a dry run exercise intended to learn how to get into a plane’s cockpit. There was also considerable evidence suggesting that wealthy Saudis and even members of the Royal Family had been supporting and funding al-Qaeda. But far exceeding the Saudi role is the involvement of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad, which was not subject to any serious inquiry or investigation by U.S. intelligence or police agencies. Israel, in spite of obvious involvement in 9/11, was not included in the 9/11 Commission Report despite the existence of an enormous Israeli intelligence operation freely working in the United States that was known to the FBI. Some of those Mossad officers were notably filmed celebrating as the Twin Towers were burning and collapsing.
In the year 2001 Israel was running a massive spying operation through a number of cover companies in New Jersey, Florida and also on the west coast that served as spying mechanisms for Mossad officers. The effort was supported by the Mossad Station in Washington D.C. and included a large number of volunteers, the so-called “art students” who traveled around the U.S. selling various products at malls and outdoor markets. The FBI was aware of the numerous Israeli students who were routinely overstaying their visas and some in the Bureau certainly believed that they were assisting their country’s intelligence service in some way, but it proved difficult to actually link the students to undercover operations, so they were regarded as a minor nuisance and were normally left to the tender mercies of the inspectors at the Bureau of Customs and Immigration. American law enforcement was also painfully aware that the Israelis were running more sophisticated intelligence operations inside the United States, many of which were focused on Washington’s military capabilities and intentions. Some specialized intelligence units concentrated on obtaining military and dual use technology. It was also known that Israeli spies had penetrated the phone systems of the U.S. government, to include those at the White House. In its annual classified counterespionage review, the FBI invariably places Israel at the top for “friendly” countries that spy on the U.S. In fact, the pre-9/11 Bureau did its best to stay on top of the problem, but it rarely received any political support from the Justice Department and White House if an espionage case involved Israelis. By one estimate, more than 100 such cases were not prosecuted for political reasons. Any Israeli caught in flagrante would most often be quietly deported and most Americans who were helping Israel were let off with a slap on the wrist. But the hands-off attitude towards Israel shifted dramatically when, on September 11, 2001, a New Jersey housewife saw something from the window of her apartment building, which overlooked the World Trade Center. She watched as the buildings burned and crumbled but also noted something strange. Three young men were kneeling on the roof of a white transit van parked by the water’s edge, making a movie in which they featured themselves high fiving and laughing in front of the catastrophic scene unfolding behind them. The woman wrote down the license plate number of the van and called the police, who responded quickly and soon both the local force and the FBI began looking for the vehicle, which was subsequently seen by other witnesses in various locations along the New Jersey waterfront, its occupants “celebrating and filming.” The license plate number revealed that the van belonged to a New Jersey registered company called Urban Moving Systems. At 4 p.m. the vehicle was spotted and pulled over. Five men between the ages of 22 and 27 years old emerged and were detained at gunpoint and handcuffed. They were all Israelis. One of them had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock and another had two foreign passports. Bomb sniffing dogs reacted to the smell of explosives in the van, which had very little actual moving equipment inside. According to the initial police report, the driver identified as Sivan Kurzberg, stated “We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.” The four other passengers were Sivan’s brother Paul, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari. The men were detained at the Bergen County jail in New Jersey before being transferred the FBI’s Foreign Counterintelligence Section, which handles allegations of spying. After the arrest, the FBI obtained a warrant to search Urban Moving System’s Weehawken, N.J., offices. Papers and computers were seized. The company owner Dominick Suter, also an Israeli, answered FBI questions but when a follow-up interview was set up a few days later it was learned that he had fled the country for Israel, putting both his business and home up for sale. The office space and warehouse were abandoned. It was later learned that Suter has been associated with at least fourteen businesses in the United States, mostly in New Jersey and New York but also in Florida. Suter and his wife Omit Levinson Suter were the owners of 1 Stop Cleaner located in Wellington Florida and Dominick was also associated with Basia McDonnell, described as a Polish “holocaust survivor,” as a business partner in yet another business called Value Ad. Florida was a main focus for the Israeli intelligence operation in the U.S. that was directed against Arabs. The five Israelis were among 140 Israelis arrested after 9/11, most of whom had military backgrounds, including some who were trained in “intelligence.” The five were held in Brooklyn, initially on charges relating to visa fraud. FBI interrogators questioned them for more than two months. Several were held in solitary confinement so they could not communicate with each other and two of them were given repeated polygraph exams, which they failed when claiming that they were nothing more than students working summer jobs. The two men that the FBI focused on most intensively were believed to be Mossad staff officers and the other three were volunteers helping with surveillance. The Israelis were not exactly cooperative, but the FBI concluded from documents obtained at their office in Weehawken that they were targeting Arabs in New York and New Jersey, most particularly in the Paterson N.J. area, which has the second largest Muslim population in the U.S. They were particularly interested in local groups possibly linked to Hamas and Hezbollah as well as in charities that might be used for fund raising. The FBI also concluded that the Israelis had actually monitored the activities of at least two of the 9/11 hijackers. To be sure, working on an intelligence operation does not necessarily imply participation in either the planning or execution of something like 9/11, but there are Israeli fingerprints all over the place, with cover companies and intelligence personnel often intersecting with locations frequented by the hijackers. Apart from the interrogations of the five men from Weehawken, the U.S. government has apparently never sought to find out what else the Israelis might have known or were up to in September 2011. There are a lot of dots that might well have been connected once upon a time, but the trail has grown cold. Police records in New Jersey and New York where the men were held have disappeared and FBI interrogation reports have been inaccessible. Media coverage of the case also died, though the five were referred to in the press as the “dancing Israelis” and by some, more disparagingly, as the “dancing Shlomos.” Inevitably, the George W. Bush White House intervened. After 71 days in detention, the five Israelis were released from prison by Attorney General John Ashcroft, put on a plane, and deported. Two of the men later spoke about their unpleasant experience in America on an Israeli talk show, one explaining that their filming the fall of the Twin Towers was to “document the event.” In 2004 the five men sued the United States government for damages, alleging “that their detention was illegal and that their civil rights were violated, suffering racial slurs, physical violence, religious discrimination, rough interrogations, deprivation of sleep, and many other offenses.” They were represented by Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, who in the previous year had founded the Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center which seeks to bankrupt groups that Israel considers to be “terrorists.” Shurat HaDin is closely tied to the Israeli government. Now it is just possible that the Urban Moving Israelis were indeed uninvolved in 9/11 but nevertheless working for Mossad, which the Israeli government even subsequently admitted, but the new evidence suggests that the Israelis almost certainly had considerable prior knowledge and were likely involved in what developed. The new information reveals that minutes after the first plane struck the World Trade Center, five Israelis had taken up position in the parking lot of the Doric Apartment Complex in Union City, New Jersey, where they took pictures and filmed the attacks while also celebrating the fall of the towers and “high fiving.” One eyewitnessinterviewed by the Bureau had seen the Israelis’ van circling the building parking at 8:00 a.m. that day, more than 40 minutes prior to the attack, indicating prior knowledge of what was about to happen. The eyewitness testimony is supported by copies of photos taken by the men that the FBI seized. The photo reproductions were obtained via a FOIA request made by a private citizen and are of poor quality, deliberately made so by the FBI to conceal faces and other details. They constitute only 14 of over seventy photos taken by the Israelis. Nevertheless, they clearly demonstrate that a celebration was going on. One photo, intriguingly, shows Sivan Kurzberg holding a lit lighter in front of the Manhattan Skyline on September 10th, one day before 9/11. It was apparently taken at the Doric Complex on a reconnoitering visit made on that day and suggests that Kurzberg was simulating the attack on the towers on the following day. Why would the Israelis do it? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described 9/11 initially as “a good thing.” He was later quoted as saying somewhat more expansively “We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq.” To be sure, 9/11 was a gift to Israel and it is a gift that keeps on giving. America is at war in a number of Muslim countries and its troops blanket the Middle East, to include a base in Israel dedicated to the defense of that country. It is all a result of the Global War on Terror and the GWOT started with 9/11. And just maybe it was a fire that was ignited by Israel.
