CIA and Mossad Operations in Israel

The story that you're talking about is I, I sat next to a guy at the

CIA for years. He's a dear friend. His wife sat

10 feet away from us, and when I was transferred to

Bahrain in the 1990s, he and his wife were transferred to Jerusalem.

They were overt CIA employees, and

so when they arrived in Israel, they were

re-declared to the Israeli Mossad, where the station chief takes them

to Mossad and says, "These are my officers.

They're here to work with you." Well, the wife was there to work with them,

and the

husband was taking a sabbatical to learn Arabic at one of the

universities. They went to a welcome party.

It's called a hail and farewell party at the ambassador's

residence in Tel Aviv.

When they got home,

all of their living room furniture had been rearranged, and they said, "Okay.

All right. Well, this is what they do just to tell us

that they can do whatever

they want, whenever they want it. We get it."

About a year later... I'm sorry. Forgive me.

A, a few months later at the ambassador's

Christmas party, uh,

they drive back from Tel Aviv, and people had

defecated in all of the toilets in their house.

Another message, "We can come into your house anytime we

want, and there's nothing

you can do about it." When they were getting ready to leave at the end of

their

two-year tour, the ambassador had the farewell party for

them,

and when they got home, the dog was under the dining room table

whimpering.

Somebody had cut its tail off and wrapped the, the stub in

medical tape and gauze.

Yesterday, yesterday, I was talking to the

son of one of my best friends. He's a member of one of the SEAL teams,

and he had just returned from a joint military

exercise, uh, with the Brits and the Israelis,

and he said first, this is just a few weeks ago, he flew to

the UK and bought a cheap laptop computer, one of these $200 laptops

you buy at Target, so that it had nothing on it,

just so he could access

his emails. Took it with him to the UK, had it in his backpack,

went to the, you know, hello, how are you meeting to say, you know, "I'm

from SEAL Team Four," and you know, "Nice to meet you." Got back to his room,

opened up the computer. The entire computer was in Hebrew,

the whole thing.

He has no idea how to use it, what to do with it.

From the UK, they went on to Israel,

and getting back to this, you know, scatological thing, this

obsession that the Israelis have.

In his hotel room, somebody had defecated in the toilet

but then used

his bath towel to wipe himself and then laid it out on the bed

for him.

This is two weeks ago,

and we're giving them $2.8 billion in free weapons or missiles, rockets

that you and I are paying for. So why do they do this?

Because they know

that they have political cover.

On Capitol Hill, nobody dares challenge the Israelis.

If you do, you're gonna get primaried,

and you're probably gonna lose. I'll give you another example, and this

is kind of a selfish one,

and I don't really care. I'm just using it as an example.

I get a call from a Texas state senator about a, about a year ago,

and he said, "Hey, I'm a, I'm a Texas state senator,

and I wanna make a

John Kiriakou Day, uh, in Texas." He

said, "We do, like, 140 of these a year.

You get a certificate with a gold seal, and it's signed by the governor, and it's

nice. You put it in a frame." I said, "Oh, my God.

Thank you so much."

He calls me a couple of weeks later.

He said, "This John Kiriakou Day, it's not gonna happen."

I said, "Oh, it's a shame. Why? You mind if I ask you what happened?" He

said,

"Yeah, um, AIPAC killed it." I said, "AIPAC in

Austin, Texas?"

And he said, "Oh, they're in all 50 state capitals.

It's just not just Capitol Hill. It's all 50 state capitals,

and now it's the big cities, the city councils."

You can't do anything without AIPAC saying it's okay or at, at the

higher, you know, federal national security level without

Mossad saying it's okay,

and they know that they can fuck with you in any way they

want, and nobody on Capitol Hill is gonna have the guts to

say a word.

So why not?

They think it keeps us in our place.
