Mill Valley Spy Ring Suspected: Israeli Espionage Artists...and the real power

behind the "power" in USA....

"Israeli charge d'affaires Dan Oryan said it was disturbing that the two Israelis were targeted merely because they were Israelis. (HA! HA!, WORKS EVERY TIME!)

Oryan's reaction is in keeping with other Israeli denials and obfuscation that their young nationals are engaged in intelligence operations while masquerading as art students, mall kiosk vendors, and moving company employees....

The National Security Agency (NSA) and other U.S. intelligence agencies have warned....[ Hallelouya, Hallelouya, what took you so long?]... that Israeli mall kiosks are suspected Israeli intelligence fronts. However, in bust after bust, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) bureau of the Homeland Security Department headed by Israeli agent-of-influence Michael Chertoff, merely deports Israelis who work illegally on tourist visas... No Israelis are ever charged with espionage or other major crimes in a trial ...since Pollard in the mid-eighties, while ALL US Intelligence agencies know full well that there are legions at work with "Mega"....and thousands with dual loyalties...

Mill Valley Spy Ring Suspected: Israeli Espionage Artists...


Downtown Mill Valley is a place where hackeysackers, chess and backgammon players, coffee drinkers, yuppie kids in strollers and weekend mountain bikers congregate. Last year it may also have been a contact site for a nationwide spy ring of "Art Students."

Over several weekends in late spring of 2001 a group of young men and women set up displays of mediocre art prints for sale. They said they were art students from Israel selling their fellow students' prints trying to raise money for their school, kind of a foreign travel bake sale adventure.

The art wasn't very good, mainly imitations of or "in the style of" well known impressionist masters and the prints were poorly done. Their displays were casually laid out on the concrete and sales were slow. Financially it didn't make sense, the cost of traveling to California, staying in hotels and eating out could hardly be covered by tepid sales, much less make any profit.

The Mill Valley group may have been part of a massive spy ring last year detailed in a leaked government document about espionage activity by Israeli military personnel posing as "art students" in America. They were caught infiltrating and surveilling government offices, military bases and private homes of DEA officials.

Asset Forfeiture Pays Off

The Drug Enforcement Agency is hardly a paragon of efficiency or effectiveness. The recipient of hundreds of billions of tax dollars over the last three decades to fight the "War on Drugs" has greedily spent every penny and demanded more. In inverse proportion to its ever expanding budgets the amount and purity of hard drugs imported into this country have increased while the street costs have decreased. The number of users has also increased so by any standards the DEA is among the most wasteful of government agencies. In spite of their ineptitude it was the DEA, not the FBI, CIA or any of dozens of other US intelligence agencies which discovered and reported on the scores of "art students" they detained for espionage activities. This was probably because the Israelis were both spying on DEA officials and also importing and dealing MDMA or Ecstasy to finance their cells activities.

The DEA initially became suspicious of these art student spies when they attempted to "sell their artwork" to high level DEA officials at their private homes. These door to door sellers were observed by several of these officials to behave suspiciously by only approaching the official's homes in upscale neighborhoods, being more interested in gaining access inside the house than art, and not knowing very much about the prints they were pushing. Other "art students" were caught inside government buildings with blue prints of the building in hand, wandering around secured areas, near military bases, as well as spying on the INS, the BATF, the FBI, the Federal Protective Service and state and federal courthouses in 40 states. After arresting and questioning these spies they eventually detained 125 "art students."

There's A Bug In Your Latte

The DEA did not arrest any spies in Mill Valley or northern California although they did bust teams in southern California. There don't seem to be likely targets for spying on in downtown Mill Valley, and it's possible that this group was unrelated to the nationwide spy ring, although unlikely. Possibly they were taking R&R or selling drugs, or doing both.

The DEA investigation of these "students" showed they were not enrolled in the Israeli art schools they claimed and never had been. The prints were cheap Chinese knockoffs and not produced by Israeli art students, spies or otherwise. Those detained were actually in the Israeli military, serving in electronic intercept, explosive ordnance and intelligence units.

The Israelis included adult children of high ranking Israeli officials. They also detained Israeli spies selling helicopter toys in shopping mall kiosks. The 125 spies detained were deported for visa irregularities, not espionage activities between January and July 2001. They were not tried and imprisoned although many had been caught red handed in criminal offenses.

The official DEA report of their findings was 62 pages long and was never released publicly. Needless to say if it had been any other "Middle Eastern" country, Russians or Chinese spying on US officials and government sites, while dealing drugs to support their espionage activities this would have been front page news for weeks.

Middle Eastern Terrorists

Any nationality other than Israelis caught spying after 9/11 and the passage of the unconstitutional "Patriot" Act, and John Ashcroft would have fronted a press conference announcing their incommunicado detention, waiting to bring them up for death sentences before a hooded tribunal.

Few Americans know that 80 Israeli spies have been detained since 9/11. Many were caught with even more damning evidence of their fifth column activities in the US than the Muslims arrested so far. Many Muslims are still in jail with no evidence, while most of the Israelis caught red-handed have been quietly deported.

While the Muslim terrorist angle for 9/11 was the immediate response of the media, only a few news articles revealed that the first people arrested by the FBI in connection with the Twin Towers destruction were five Israelis in New Jersey. They were seen videotaping the damage from a rooftop while cheering and dancing after the jets made direct hits that morning.

Suspicious neighbors called the police who arrested them and handed them over to the FBI. The FBI questioned them for days and reportedly used "physical pressure" as the Israelis call their torture of Palestinians. Papers in Israel were irate about their treatment but kept it low key, because of the dancing part or their detention.

They were supposedly employees of an Israeli owned "moving company", but were found to be working for Israeli military and intelligence agencies. The moving company was discovered to be one of a group of trucking company false fronts for another Israeli spying operation.

Dozens of Israelis have been detained after 9/11 under suspicious circumstances including carrying blue prints for nuclear power plants, dumping videotapes of the Sears Tower, and of course with boxcutters. Only Fox news reported on their arrests in a series of news stories about Israeli spying last fall, but then quickly removed the stories from their website even though they featured many scoops.

Calling Texas Through Tel Aviv

Fox News reporter Carl Cameron quoted an anonymous, "highly placed investigator" who claimed that there was evidence linking Israel with the 9/11 hijacked jet bombs, but it "was classified information." He told the American public that an Israeli company, Comverse Infosys actually provides the wiretapping services for US law enforcement.

That is scandalous enough but in 1997 an investigation into Israeli Mafia narcoterrorists by the DEA, FBI, Secret Service and the LA police department was "compromised" because of this arrangement. (The Israeli wiretapping company tipped off the Israeli narco mobsters.)

The series also reported that another Israeli company, Amdocs, handles most of the phone call records and billing in the US. This company has also been investigated by the FBI for spying on the FBI, the CIA and its ties to the Israeli Mafia. An official in this company also bailed out a Texas based cell of arrested "art students."

The Fox series also mentioned that another Israeli spy ring had been arrested before 9/11 without details about its "art student" cover. The ground breaking stories were ignored by the mainstream media, even though it should have won a Pulitzer Prize.

At least that spy news was reported if briefly. The DEA report on the "art students" was wrapped up tighter than dogshit in a Coastal Post. However even sealed in Ziploc bags leaks happen and this was too volatile to be contained for long.

Predictably the news broke first on a website, several actually, with AntiWar.com breaking information from the report last November. A Paris based site, Intelligence Online published the actual report. It spread to other websites including the Daily Planet and Creative Loafing but not to the mainstream US media except to deny its validity.

Urban Myth That Israel Is America's Friend

The Internet reports were attacked as conspiracy fantasies by rabid pro-Israeli lapdogs, the usual presstitutes who chant repeatedly that Israel is America's true friend and ally. Because this is so Israel must be supported with billions in arms and financial aid from US taxpayers every year.

The only coverage of this report in the mainstream American media, was to claim that it is an "urban myth", or the "art students" were merely spying on the Arab 9/11 hijackers.

Undoubtedly the "art students" were also spying on Muslims, more effectively than US intelligence services, as well as on US government officials and installations. At least one of the Israeli cells was living a few blocks away from where Mohammed Atta's group was in Hollywood, Florida. Other cells were also living nearby or in the same cities as the alleged hijackers over the last year.

The Israelis evidently knew of the hijacking plans well before the attack. Some Israeli citizens in the Word Trade Centers were warned with instant messaging from an Israeli company Odigo, to evacuate two hours before the attack. Only one Israeli citizen was killed in the Twin Towers.

However, their main surveillance targets were American government officials, buildings and installations while selling drugs and art prints on the side. For that information you have to search the Internet or read it here in the Coastal Post.

American Intelligence agencies probably spy on Israel, the difference is American taxpayers subsidize Israel with billions in aid every year. Basically we are paying for them to spy on us. Even more humiliating to Americans, Israeli spying is so much more effective than US intelligence that we could save billions by turning the whole shebang over to them.

High level government officials anonymously allege that Israel and its double agents inside our government have so compromised American security that it would make no difference in our ability to keep secrets from them. They claim that the executive branch, the state department, the defense department, and virtually every agency are penetrated by Israeli double agents. These sources are afraid to go public because they believe they will be demoted or fired with their reports buried. They claim that anything written, telephoned or even spoken above a whisper about Israel or its interests is quickly transmitted to Tel Aviv. Only the Arab press reported Sharon's statement in Hebrew, "we don't have to worry about America, we control America." While there's debate about whether he actually said it, there's no debate about whether it's true.

Pardon Pollard Or Else

The most famous example of Israeli spying is Jonathan Pollard, an American with dual citizenship in Israel who worked in US intelligence in the 80's. He was caught after stealing a half million pages of top secret pages on nuclear security and giving it to Israel. They sent it on to the Soviet Union, the "Evil Empire" at the time, in exchange for allowing millions of their Jewish citizens to emigrate to Israel.

Israel is still pressuring US politicians to pardon him and release him from his life sentence so he can be given a hero's welcome there. Even Bill Clinton wouldn't go for that, but he did pardon Marc Rich, tax fraud and gun runner at Israel's insistence.

The Monica Lewinski mess, Mata Hari with a T back G-string, which derailed his Middle East peace efforts when he was pushing Israel to abandon their illegal settlements, taught him not to go against Israel's wishes. Of course if he hadn't been thinking with his schlong, there might have been peace in the Middle East."



I print in whole because the paper, like all papers that published things like this,was purchased and no longer writes articles like this, and so it may "disappear".

THE SECRET WAR
Pre-9/11, we fought a covert war on American soil – against Israel
You really have to hand it to the Israelis: they are nothing if not blatant. Their response to Fox News reporter Carl Cameron's devastating exposé of Israel's massive spy operation in the US can hardly be repeated with a straight face. Mark Regev, a spokesman at the Israeli embassy in Washington is quoted by the Jerusalem Post as saying:

"The report on Fox News contains no quoted source, it has in no way demonstrated anything more than anonymous innuendo, and should be regarded accordingly. Israel does not spy on the United States of America."

Gee, Mark, does the name Jonathan Pollard ring a bell?

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES
Naturally, the law enforcement sources who utilized Cameron's investigation to voice their concerns didn't dare allow their names to be used: as Cameron related in his report, any question regarding the possibility of Israeli spying in the US is "career suicide" for those who dare raise it. Question: is it also career suicide for journalists to raise it?

I have seen a few news items reporting on the Cameron exposé, but, given the implications and scope of what we're talking about here, the answer is, apparently, yes. For Cameron and Fox News are not merely saying that the Israelis have been conducting a "sprawling" spy operation in the US, involving the massive penetration of our communications systems and government agencies. As Cameron so diplomatically put it in the first segment of his four-part investigation:

"There is no indication that the Israelis were involved in the 9-11 attacks, but investigators suspect that the Israelis may have gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance, and not shared it."

A GUILTY SILENCE
In other words: Israel's passive complicity made the worst terrorist attack in American history possible. One would think that the sheer enormity of such a charge would provoke a storm of outrage from Israel's many defenders in the media: the columnists, the think-tankers, the publicists who dote on Ariel Sharon's every word. But, no: instead, there is an ominous, one might almost say a guilty silence.

THANKS BE TO GOOGLE!
It's frightening, really, when you think about it. Here, after all, is a reporter's dream: a heretofore-undiscovered angle on the biggest story of our time. Yet no one will touch it. Why? It couldn't be because you'd need an army of researchers: you don't. All that's necessary is internet access, and, of course, the miracle of Google: anyone can go to Google.com and type in the appropriate words and phrases, such as "Israelis detained," or, better yet, "Israeli art students" along with the word "detained." Go ahead: do it, and see what happens….

ARTISTIC ASPIRATIONS
Okay, so you did it and came up with a whole slew of news stories, published mostly in local newspapers, telling different variations on a single, very bizarre story: In locations as diverse as Dallas, Saint Louis, Kansas, Atlanta, New York, and Findley, Ohio, groups of young people describing themselves as Israeli art students suddenly descended on federal office buildings and no less than 36 Department of Defense facilities. They seemed particularly active in the state of Texas: in Dallas, one "student" was found wandering the halls of a federal facility with a floor plan in his hands. Say, what?

Starting in the third week of January, reports began to pour in to the National Counterintelligence Center (NCC) about "suspicious visitors to federal facilities." The NCC's bimonthly report for March 2001 states:

"In the past six weeks, employees in federal office buildings located throughout the United States have reported suspicious activities connected with individuals representing themselves as foreign students selling or delivering artwork. Employees have observed both males and females attempting to bypass facility security and enter federal buildings."

INVASION OF THE 'ART STUDENTS'
The NCC described these people -- supposedly working for an outfit known as "Universal Art, Inc." -- as "aggressive" in attempting to gain access to federal facilities, and reported that two had been arrested for having counterfeit work visas and green cards. Then this stunner: "These individuals have also gone to the private residences of senior federal officials under the guise of selling art." Now wait just a friggin' minute, dude – stop right there!

OMINOUS PORTENTS
Okay, so we're talking about some nine months before The Day, and mysterious "art students" are following high government officials home – that is, when they aren't trying to break in to Defense Department facilities, staking out DEA offices, and hanging around the federal prosecutor's office in Dallas. We've already had numerous terrorist scares, at this point: remember the New Year's hysteria, and there were all those frantic warnings by various "anti-terrorist" commissions and study groups. The NCC report posits the existence of two groups of "art students":

"One group has an apparently legitimate money-making goal while the second, perhaps a non-Israeli group, may have ties to a Middle Eastern Islamic fundamentalist group."

So, this was the first ominous sign of the terrorist onslaught to come – or was it? The NCC's speculation that these "art students" were Bin Laden's boys turns out not to have been correct. They were Israelis, alright, except for a few Latin Americans. Not only did they carry forged immigration papers, in some cases, but also at least one we know about failed a polygraph test when he denied spying for Israel.

CELLMATES AT LAST
With some 140 picked up before 9/11, and some 60-plus afterward, we have no idea how many of these "art students" were sent back to Israel to pursue their "studies." All we know is that those let go were kept for months, and others – according to Fox News, those identified as Israeli agents – are still in custody, perhaps sharing a nice cozy cell with detainees from Arab countries. I'm sure they have a lot to talk about….

HOW ODD
The Arab detainees, as we have seen, have been the subjects of a national controversy between civil libertarians and the Bush administration. We have John Ashcroft denouncing those who would spread the "false fear" of a police state as "aiding the terrorists," while on the other hand Arab-Americans and the ACLU are rallying opposition to the round-up. But when it comes to the Israeli detainees, there is no controversy, virtually no mention of it in the national media, no nothing. Jewish groups are not rallying to the defense of these poor defenseless "art students," held without bail and without lawyers, for the most part, in very uncomfortable and worrisome circumstances. Doesn't anybody find this odd?

SUCKER PUNCH
What's significant about this story is, first, that it amounts to the biggest spy operation in the US since the days of the Cold War, and, secondly, that it provides some context for understanding the mystery of 9/11. To most of us, that horrific event was a bolt out of the blue, with no prelude, no precedent, and no way to anticipate that the best days of our lives could turn into the worst. But the view from inside the US Government must have looked a whole lot different, i.e. far more threatening. Yet the threat seemed to be coming, not from Bin Laden, but – incredibly – from the Israelis, who, not content with having gained access to our phone system and federal wiretaps, were penetrating American military and government targets. Law enforcement authorities were in the midst of a massive crackdown on the Israelis, when, suddenly, they were hit – from the other direction.

IN THE DARK
We are being kept in the dark about so many things, these days, but this, it seems, is too important to be kept secret for long. If we are going to be asked to give up our liberties, our peace of mind, and even our lives in an apparently eternal "war on terrorism," then Americans at least have a right to know who their enemies are. Yes, we know the evil Bin Laden is responsible for the murder of 3000 innocent people – but we still don't know how they managed to pull off such a well-organized and spectacular display of murderous skill, unassisted by any state sponsor.

A CAROLINA COVEN
Much has been said – but nothing proved – about the alleged role of Iraq in all this. But to anyone who has seen or read through parts one, two, three and four of the Fox News investigative report, it seems clear that the most active state intelligence agency in the US prior to the twin towers attack was not the Iraqis, but the Mossad. Carl Cameron informs us that a North Carolina Israeli spy coven is suspected of renting an apartment in California "to spy on a group of Arabs who the United States is also investigating for links to terrorism." What were they doing – and, most importantly, what did they know about the planning and execution of the 9/11 atrocity?
