NSA Spies Reveal Congress/Jewish Lobby Link

The New Observer
December 31, 2015

The Jewish lobby controls the US Congress to such a degree that the National Security Agency’s (NSA) surveillance of the Israeli government ended up effectively spying on the House and Senate, it has emerged.

This fact is revealed within the latest so-called “NSA spying on Israel scandal,” which is currently the focus of controlled media attention.

The revelations were started by an article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), titled “US Spy Net on Israel Snares Congress” (Dec. 29, 2015), where the focus was—of course—on the fact that the NSA kept up surveillance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

This focus, replicated by other controlled media outlets, made out as if this NSA surveillance of the Israeli Prime Minister and Congress was a great “scandal.”

However, the controlled media coverage has deliberately underplayed the far more important revelation that the Jewish lobby is actively involved in controlling Congress through its personal agents of influence and through “Jewish-American organizations.”

According to the WSJ, the NSA—which is in charge of the electronic surveillance intelligence services of the US government—routinely keeps “certain allies under close watch,” including Netanyahu.

The WSJ said that the intelligence provided by these intercepts became a “political minefield at home” when Netanyahu took his opposition to the “Iran nuclear” deal directly to Congress. This campaign formed part of his ongoing paranoid Jewish obsession with the complexly mythical Iranian “atom bomb” lies through which they hoped to incite war against Iran.

According to the WSJ, the NSA’s “targeting of Israeli leaders and officials also swept up the contents of some of their private conversations with US lawmakers and American-Jewish groups.”

Although these “American-Jewish groups” are not named, it is clear that the American-Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and other significant Jewish lobbies are those to which the NSA referred.

Even more significantly is the fact that the Jewish lobby’s tentacles reach into Congress itself.

Although specific Congressmen were not named, the immediate inference from the NSA surveillance falls onto the nineteen Jewish Members of the House (eighteen Democrats, and one Republican), and the ten Jewish members of the Senate. (These figures are, of course, way out of proportion to the percentage of Jews in America, but that is another topic.)

In addition, the Jewish lobby can rely on a large number of utterly slavish Judeo-Christian and evangelical members of the House and Senate to support Israel at every turn.

As a result, the WSJ said, the surveillance of both the Jewish lobby in Israel and in America soon revealed that they were all in extensive contact with US lawmakers:

Soon after, Israel’s lobbying campaign against the deal went into full swing on Capitol Hill, and it didn’t take long for administration and intelligence officials to realize the NSA was sweeping up the content of conversations with lawmakers.

The extent of this “contact” with “US lawmakers” was so massive and so penetrating that the NSA was faced with a conundrum: monitoring the activities of the Jewish lobby meant that they were in fact monitoring the entire US legislative branch of government—in other words, spying on the Jewish lobby meant spying on Congress.

According to the WSJ, the revelation that the Israeli government and the “American-Jewish organizations” were directly speaking to Congressmen to direct US policy in favor of Israel “raised fears—an ‘Oh-s— moment,’ one senior US official said—that the executive branch would be accused of spying on Congress.”

The WSJ continued:

During Israel’s lobbying campaign in the months before the deal cleared Congress in September, the NSA removed the names of lawmakers from intelligence reports and weeded out personal information. The agency kept out “trash talk,” officials said, such as personal attacks on the executive branch.

Administration and intelligence officials said the White House didn’t ask the NSA to identify any lawmakers during this period.

“From what I can tell, we haven’t had a problem with how incidental collection has been handled concerning lawmakers,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat and the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He declined to comment on any specific communications between lawmakers and Israel.

Schiff is, of course, one of the nineteen Jewish Members of the House, so it is unsurprising that he “declined to comment on any specific communications between lawmakers and Israel.”

In addition, the WSJ said, NSA eavesdropping revealed how “Netanyahu and his advisers” had leaked details of the US–Iran negotiations—learned through Israeli spying operations—to undermine the attempts to make peace with Iran.

The WSJ explained further that the Jewish lobby had:

…coordinated talking points with Jewish-American groups against the deal; and asked undecided lawmakers what it would take to win their votes, according to current and former officials familiar with the intercepts.

The NSA reports allowed administration officials to peer inside Israeli efforts to turn Congress against the deal. Mr. Dermer was described as coaching unnamed US organizations—which officials could tell from the context were Jewish-American groups—on lines of argument to use with lawmakers, and Israeli officials were reported pressing lawmakers to oppose the deal.

A US intelligence official familiar with the intercepts said Israel’s pitch to undecided lawmakers often included such questions as: “How can we get your vote? What’s it going to take?”

The NSA intercepts, however, revealed one surprise. Mr. Netanyahu and some of his allies voiced confidence they could win enough votes.

As mentioned above, rather than discuss the extent of the American-Jewish lobby single loyalty to Israel, the controlled media has tried to scandalize the fact that the NSA was monitoring the Jewish lobby’s subversion of the American policy-making progress.

This blatant diversionary tactic takes on added meaning when the long Israeli history of spying against America is considered, which was most recently exposed when the WSJ itself revealed that NSA intercepts showed that the Jewish state was spying on American negotiations at the Iran nuclear conferences in Europe.

Those who accuse the Jewish lobby of “dual loyalty” are mistaken. It is not a question of “dual loyalty” at all—as this implies some loyalty to the US or other nations.

In reality, the Jewish lobby has a single loyalty—to Israel, and Israel alone, and Jewish racial unity, at the expense of every other nation.
