Why Is Israeli Spy Jonathan Pollard Back in the News?
December 22, 2010 by Jeff Gates · 8 Comments
Over the past two months, Benjamin Netanyahu has mentioned the fate of jailed Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard six times in meetings with President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Israel lobby also mounted a letter-writing campaign on Pollard’s behalf.
When Pollard was arrested for espionage in the 1980s, Tel Aviv swore he was part of a “rogue” operation. Only 12 years later did Israel concede he was their spy the entire time. That insider espionage by a purported ally damaged U.S. national security more than any incident in U.S. history.
During an earlier term as Prime Minister, Netanyahu secured a verbal agreement from Bill Clinton in 1998 to release Pollard. Clinton then faced a rebellion among U.S. intelligence agencies aware of the damage done. Clinton backed down and Netanyahu backed off.
Pollard took more than one million documents for copying by his Israeli handler. When transferred to the Soviets, reportedly in exchange for the emigration of Russian Jews, that stolen intelligence shifted the underlying dynamics of the Cold War.
What has its entangled alliance with Israel cost the U.S.? The U.S. committed $20 trillion to Cold War defense from 1948-1989 (in 2010 dollars). Pollard negated much of that outlay yet even now Israel pretends to be an ally. Few believe it; many realize the U.S. has been played for a fool.
Why Now?
The timing could be a Christmas season plea for clemency after 25 years of imprisonment. Former Assistant Secretary of State Lawrence Kolb now claims the sentence was excessive due to a personal distaste for Israel by then Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger.
At trial, Pollard claimed he wasn’t stealing from the U.S.; he was stealing secrets for Israel—with whom the U.S. has a “special relationship.” Aware of the harm done by Pollard during the Reagan-era defense buildup, Weinberger pressed for a longer sentence than the prosecution.
From 1981-1985, this U.S. Navy intelligence analyst provided Israel with 360 cubic feet of classified military documents on Soviet arms shipments, Pakistani nuclear weapons, Libyan air defense systems and other intelligence sought by Tel Aviv to advance its geopolitical agenda.
Even while in prison, Pollard’s iconic status among pro-Israelis may have played a strategic role. Or was it just coincidence that Tel Aviv announced a $1 million grant to their master spy ten days before 911? Is that how Israel signals its operatives in the U.S.?
Could that explain the timing of Israel’s latest announcement? Could this news flurry be a signal to pro-Israeli volunteers (sayanim in Hebrew) that another operation is underway?
Timing is Everything
Tel Aviv routinely schedules its operations during political “downtime” in the U.S. The Suez crisis was scheduled for the last week of President Eisenhower’s 1956 reelection campaign. Fast forward to 2008 and Israeli troops invaded Gaza just after Christmas, killing 1,400 Palestinians before exiting just prior to the Obama inaugural.
That well-timed provocation generated more outrage at the U.S. as Israel’s reliable enabler. The carnage also catalyzed reactions worldwide that undermined peace talks
This latest news about Pollard coincides with another political downtime. The U.S. Congress has adjourned and the White House has shut down for the holidays. Plus WikiLeaks successfully removed peace talks from the news and restored talk of war with Iran.
If there is another “incident” in the U.S. or the E.U., will the evidence point to Tehran? Islamabad? Damascus? If the U.S. cannot be persuaded to invade Iran, can it be provoked to do so? Stay tuned.
What Next?
Tel Aviv may be growing desperate and for good reason. Israel and pro-Israelis were the source of the fixed intelligence that induced the U.S. to invade Iraq in response to the provocation of 911. Those facts are well known to intelligence agencies worldwide.
As with Pollard, Tel Aviv denies it.
With Pollard back in the news, anything is possible. Recall how long it took for a confession that he was an Israeli spy. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Tel Aviv to concede its role in provoking its primary ally to pursue a Zionist agenda in the Middle East.
Absent the mass murder of 911, would the U.S. now find itself at war in the Middle East? Absent another provocation, Americans are not inclined to expand these wars. At least not yet.
“I know what America is,” Benjamin Netanyahu assured a group of Israelis in 2001, apparently not knowing his words were being recorded. “America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction.”
Pollard has long been a rallying point for Jewish nationalists, Zionist extremists and ultra-orthodox ideologues. Only time will tell why he is back in the news. And whether this news is a means for moving the U.S. in the right direction.
Pollard is an Israeli hero. Several parks and streets are named after him. The campaign for his release have been one of the item on Israel’s conditions to sit across the table with PLO leaders to talk about the so-called “Great Offer” which the later cannot refuse.
Pollard’s release is the only one of six Israeli demands Washington has not okeyed officially as yet for exchange of Israel’s 90-day freeze on new illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank, but the Jews can carry out their dirty Judaization of East Jerusalem.
Here is list of other five “goodies” offered by Ben Obama to Benji Netanyahu….

Could these people be any more obvious? My goodness….

This doesn’t hold water. In 1980s, when Pollard was busy stealing intelligence information from US, the international Jewry was mounting the last-ditch effort to dismantle the Soviet Empire created by Joseph Stalin, which was successfully completed when the Soviet Union was formally dissolved on December 26, 1991.

You might want to check Cap Weinberger’s assessment as well as that of our intelligence agencies.

I wouldn’t count too much on whatever crypto-jew Caspar Weinberger had to say.
Wikipedia: Weinberger was born in San Francisco, the younger of two sons of Herman Weinberger, a Colorado-born lawyer. Weinberger was named “Caspar” for a friend of his mother’s; his father began calling him “Cap”, a nickname that stuck into adulthood. Weinberger’s paternal grandparents had left Judaism because of a dispute at a Czech synagogue.
As an educated man, you should know that ‘lawyer’ is a code word for ‘jew’. A Russian jew and buffoon politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky, when asked about his ethnic background, famously answered: My mother was Russian, my father was a lawyer. “Caspar” is a jewish name – recall former World Chess Champion half-jew Garry Kasparov.
Anyway, don’t just make blank statements – where are those assessments you propose us to check? I would like to check them. I presume you have checked them yourself, so you would know where they are.

The Vos Iz Nieas, the Voice of Orthodox Jewish Community, on December 30, 2010 reported that the Zionist-regime’s leader, Benji Netanyahu is “expected to officially and publically appeal to Obama to release Pollard 56, whose spying caused a severe rift between Israel and the United States, following his arrest November 22, 1985?. Jonathan Pollard, an US Jewish citizen, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1987 for passing-on 800,000 pages of American secrets over 18 months between 1984-85 to Israeli secret service, Larkam, run by the Israel’s Prime Minister’s office. Larkam was created to help Israel in its secret nuclear program and was known as a “theft contractor” for Israel’s security industry.
The release of the US national traitor has special significance for Bibi Netanyahu, as during his first term as prime minister, he recognized Pollard as an Israeli agent and gave him Israeli citizenship. He later visited him in his jail cell.
On the request of Israel’s Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yonah Metzger, special prayers were held in Synogouges across the Zionist entity on Saturday for the health and deliverance of Yehonatan, son of Malka.
How subverted nation America has become can be judged by the fact that former US Attorney General, Rabbi Michael Mukasey (as a federal judge, he ordered the release of several dozen Israelis arrested in the aftermath of 9/11 on flimsy excuses), recently wrote a letter to Ben Obama asking him to commute the sentence of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard. Earlier, Lawrence Korb, an assistant secretary of defense at the time of Pollard’s arrest in 1985 along with a handful of American lawmakers and several Jewish organizations – asked Obama in a public letter to commute Pollard’s sentence to the time he has already served.
Oh! Did I mention Pastor John Hagee also gave his ‘holy support’ for the release of the convicted Jewish spy?
Now compare this Jewish spy with Muslim Dr. Aafia Siddique, a Pakistani mother of three children who was handed down a sentence of 85 year in jail by a Jewish judge – for not stealing American secrets for Pakistan.
Interestingly, while the sell-out politicians are bending backward to please their masters in Tel Aviv, some former US intelligence officials such as former FBI and Navy lawyer M.E. “Spike” Bowman, are against the release of the convicted Jewish traitor.

How silly of you to not have mentioned the NCIS link to the Pollard question.
How to start. NCIS is the Naval Criminal Investigative Service = Navy.
Jonathan Pollard stole all his stuff from the Navy.
Ziva David is a former Mossad agent that is routinely allowed access to Naval and US Military computer systems, everyone trusts her implicitly.
She is one tough cookie, someone to be admired, Mossad certainly has done their job, she is a wonder child of weapons knowledge, self defense capability, and has become an integral member of the NCIS team.
Did you swallow all that? I don’t! Pollard can rot in hell and until the almighty comes to call for his eternal soul, we can keep him safe right where he is – in prison wher he belongs.
Oh by the way, you should pay closer attention to the Israeli press. They must have a story that showers Pollard with adulation at least once a week during the slow season. He is a God to the Israeli’s. When they have the full court press going the stories heat up to one per day.
Two State solution? Palestinian State? Do I really look as stupid as all that?
