Damning New Evidence Shows How Israel Bribed Republican Traitors To Sabotage Obama On Iran Deal

[meow2u3]

You probably can recall the huge diplomatic mess that Republicans made last year, by sending an “open letter” to Iran in an effort to sour President Obama’s negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program. The letter was a clear shot at the deal the White House had been working on since the very early days of President Obama’s time in office. Republicans attempted to frame any agreements Iran would make with Obama as “not guaranteed” to continue once he leaves office. This, in addition to the invitation of Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress without the approval of the White House, put negotiations at a real risk. Many thought that it would push circumstances to where Israel would unilaterally conduct military strikes against Iran, which is a situation nobody wanted to see happen.

The reaction was fast and harsh by many in America, who saw it as an unprecedented move that bordered on outright treason by Republicans. It got so bad that even some Republicans who signed off on the letter were having second thoughts as to how bright of an idea it was.

Benjamin Netanyahu openly admitted to lobbying Congress for help to scuttle the deal. However, he never discussed direct contact that the Israeli government had with congressional members or the offers that were made to them. Now, with these new revelations, it shows damning evidence that this is exactly what Israel and Republicans did.

Scathing new reports, which were made possible from leaked NSA wiretapping, show how Israel communicated directly with members of Congress. It proves that Netanyahu and his cohorts were attempting to essentially bribe Republicans into sabotaging the diplomatic efforts of a sitting United States president. A U.S. intelligence official who was involved in managing the NSA intercepts said Israel’s communications with Republicans included such questions as: “How can we get your vote? What’s it going to take?” What further denial of treason can be made by either Republicans or Israel at this point?

And these are the same repukes who call Democrats traitors.

1. It all goes back to Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks to win in 1968...

If LBJ had prosecuted Nixon for what LBJ himself called "treason" we probably never would have heard of Reagan again.

But the same trick was used against Carter by the Reagan crew, lead by Poppy Bush, when they negotiated with Iran to hold the hostages until Reagan was in office.

Allen Dulles, was collaborating with Nazis, and undermining Roosevelt every step of the way. It continued through the Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy Administrations, with the CIA and Pentagon covertly running their own foreign policy.

A good, recent book on the subject is "The Devils Chessboard", by David Talbot.

edit: David, not John...duh.

11. Don't forget Prescott Bush, another Nazi enabler...

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power

16. Old Prescott and a lot of other Wall Street banksters are all over the book.

Sullivan and Cromwell, Dulles law firm protected a lot of big companies that had subsidiaries in Germany during the war.

[Human101948]

18. Sounds like a good read...

Thanks for the heads up.

35. $16.99 on Nook... I'll have to wait til after

the mortgage, car payment, home insurance and car insurace payments are made. January is always short on pay and long on payments...

[erronis]

49. Reading it now. Reminds me of the current group of crooks/parasites (Cheney/Beltway bandits)

That make profits on the false wars. They rely on owning the media outlets as well as trying to control the electoral processes.

Lots of connections between the CIA(OSS) and the NAZIs during and after WW-II. Same shit going on with the MIPC now. The P is for the political class who is almost completely owned by the MIC.

It makes me so upset that I can't read before trying to go to sleep.

Please don't vote in another Prescott Bush spawn, or any of the other war-monging candidates (one dem not named.)

[Fantastic Anarchist]

73. They also wanted to overthrow FDR.

[starroute]

22. Here are some links to Talbot stuff online

In this interview Talbot talks about Dulles and the Nazis:

25. I saw him interviewed on Democracy Now! a couple of weeks ago.

Stirred my interest in the book.

[LongTomH]

39. Thanks for these links, starroute!

My generation grew up with the Cold War as the reality that shaped our lives and perceptions. I'm just now trying to unravel some of the backstories of that era.

[starroute]

40. We took a lot of stuff for granted as just the way things were

And so much of it now turns out to have been engineered.

[zentrum]

58. Yes, want to read

…this book. My grandfather had an abiding hatred for Dulles and I'm eager to read why now that I'm older.

[starroute]

21. The U-2 incident was allegedly used to sabotage Ike's overtures to Russia

I've seen this one argued both ways, so I wouldn't call it a proven fact. But it seems to be a matter of record that Eisenhower was hoping to put an end to the Cold War during his final year in office, that the shooting down of the U-2 put an end to whatever meeting or conference was planned with the Soviets, and that Eisenhower had been told the U-2 flights had already ended when they hadn't.

The part that's uncertain is whether the incident was deliberately provoked to sabotage the talks or whether it was just the spy boys trying to pull a fast one after they'd been told to knock it off and having things blow up in their faces. But either way, it's fairly likely that Nixon -- who as vice-president always knew more about the covert end of things than Eisenhower himself did -- took it as the template for what he pulled in 1968 with the Vietnamese.

[jalan48]

24. Yep-American's get caught up in the election hype.

They want to pretend everything is on the up and up-George Washington never told a lie, etc. The cynicism will set in after the next Presidential election is over but in the meantime the process is "real".

[stuffmatters]

41. Exactly what I thought. This time the Repubs didn't even try to hide their treason

And, of course, aided and abetted by the MSM who never reported the Nixon or Carter sabotage. Now they treat Repub organized sabotage as normal, the MSM never once remarked that it was flat out treason.

[Enthusiast]

59. Treason has become a Republican tradition.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Ferd Berfel]

71. Glad you used "Reagan-Bush"

WHen people (even Hartmann) talk about Republican Treason they tend to leave out the fact that Poppy was part of the Reagan Treason. Hell, as former head of the CIA Poppy probably orchestrated the whole thing. Reagan wasn't smart enough to come up with it or to execute it.

So that's
Nixon - Treason
Reagan - Treason
Bush I - Treason (Iran-Contra and Kuwait)
Bush II - Treason (2 illegal wars and destroying democracy in 2000/2004)

That leaves Ford . As part of the JFK Assignation cover-up cabal I'd say HE committed treason too.

[Old Codger]

2. Politicians

Politicians, especially republican politicians are immune to our laws and ethical standards, they live in a world of their own which does not include decency,patriotism or anything that comes close to ethical behavior...And our system lets them get away with it, the fox guarding the henhouse comes to mind...

[erronis]

51. And most of their "discretionary" income comes from places that are not traceable.

Of course they've gone out of their way to cripple the IRS since they and their friends would be liable for long terms in a slammer.

[Proserpina]

3. And with US funds, too

Cut off Israel from US budget!

[Scuba]

4. Boy oh boy! Just wait 'til Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi hear about this!

[truebrit71]

12. Yup, they'll be drying their powder almost as furiously...

...as they'll be writing their sternly-worded letters....

[Ferd Berfel]

15. LOL

[GoneFishin]

26. Boy are they going to be sorry when they here the words "cut it out".

[Qutzupalotl]

5. "We don't Cotton to traitors"

Somebody please bring a sign that says that to a Tom Cotton rally.

[sinkingfeeling]

32. Cotton's too busy being bought to come back to Arkansas.

And he has something like a 55% approval rating here in Dumbshitland.

[valerief]

6. You're only a traitor if you're a traitor to $$$. That's the world they live in. nt

[FlatBaroque]

7. The only way to make Israel act properly is to give them more money

right?

[leveymg]

8. And there's 50 years of intercepts, some far more damning, where that came from.

I really hope that Netanyu pushes this further. Release of the AIPAC-Mossad intercepts, alone, that formed the basis for the indictments of Rosen and Weissman in 2005, would be highly educational. Seems not many are aware of Rep. Harman being caught by the FBI wire "waddling into" that one. See, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Franklin_espionage_scandal

[Fuddnik]

13. I wonder how many from both parties didn't need to be bribed.

I ran a short lived congressional campaign in 2004 (No money). In 2006, another person called and asked if I was going to run again, as he was thinking about running. I said no I wasn't and feel free to do so. He then asked if I could help and support him, and I said I'd consider it. So, he sent me his resume.

He was a little too conservative for my tastes, but when I got to the part where he had interned at AIPAC, I told him that was a deal killer.

He was running a half decent campaign until 6 months later Rahm Emmanuel stabbed him in the back. He didn't even know it until another candidate showed up at the state Dem convention, with a couple of staffers supplied by the DCCC.

[leveymg]

23. Depends upon how you define "campaign contribution." In many cases, "bribery" fits.

If bribery (er, campaign contributions) don't work, there is always dirty tricks. In '12, the head of the county Obama Democratic campaign committee (the son of a famous, long-serving progressive Democratic VA Congressman) was stung by a "GOP" operative.

Someone walked into the campaign office and the campaign chairman humored him for a few minutes while the shady character pitched a vaguely shady voter registration scheme. The shady character was wearing a hidden camera and turned out to working for Project Veritas, the James O’Keefe-led organization whose other undercover videos fed the GOP attack on ACORN.

AIPAC and the GOP had been trying for decades to unseat the Congressman. He said in 2007 that AIPAC is “the most powerful lobby” that pushed for the Iraq War “since the beginning,” the Washington Post reported. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/14/AR2007091402171.html

“I don’t think they represent the mainstream of American Jewish thinking at all, but because they are so well organized,” the Congressman said about AIPAC. “And their members are extraordinarily powerful—most of them are quite wealthy—they have been able to exert power.”

[LiberalArkie]

47. I would really like to hear the discussions about the USS Liberty incident.

[Grins]

69. I just went to that link and read it. In my head I'm still screaming!

Long ago I was pro-Israel. After the USS Liberty and Jonathon Pollard - no more. Eff them. Israel wants us to fight their dirty wars for them and refuse to do anything about coming to terms with the Palestinians. Bribing American legislators? I don't doubt it for a second, and doubt that this is the first time.

Now reading Quicksand: America's Pursuit of Power in the Middle East by Geoffrey Wawro. Much better than I thought it would be. There are sections in there where Truman, Ike, Kennedy, Johnson, are all told by the middle east states that the problem is, first, Israel, that our one-sided view of Israel-can-do-no-wrong philosophy is the major problem. Truman is told by King Faisal - effing Faisal! - if you continue to support Israel I can't help you. And by this time, we had known all about peak-oil in the U.S. for a couple of years.

The defense science board asked after 9/11 "Why do they hate us?", unlike Rush Limbaugh they laid it on the line:

"Muslims do not “hate our freedom”, but rather they hate our policies. The overwhelming majority voice their objections to what they see as one-sided support in favor of Israel and against Palestinian rights...."

Pretty clear.

Every nation in the middle east has said that very thing. And we continue not to hear. We continue to look the other way as we spend billions on Israel. And the frustration builds, and builds. To the point they react with kidnappings, hijacking aircraft and ocean liners, murder, attacks on American companies, and now terrorism on a world-wide scale.

We are so stu-pud.

[leveymg]

72. Here's a Nation article on Jane Harman (then House Intel Comm.) caught by FBI on the AIPAC wire

http://www.thenation.com/article/spy-story-harman-saban-and-aipac/

 Contrary to reports that the Harman investigation was dropped for “lack of evidence,” it was Alberto R. Gonzales, President Bush’s top counsel and then attorney general, who intervened to stop the Harman probe.

Why? Because, according to three top former national security officials, Gonzales wanted Harman to be able to help defend the administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, which was about break in The New York Times and engulf the White House.

Who was Harman talking to when she was caught on tape by the NSA? Stein says she was speaking to a suspected “Israeli agent.” The Jewish Telegraph Agency suggests — as did earlier reports, in 2006, when the story first broke — that the person lobbying Harman to intervene in the AIPAC case was Haim Saban, a top Democratic fundraiser:

Similar reports surfaced in October 2006, just prior to the midterm elections. Those reports named the Israeli “agent” as Haim Saban, the Israeli-American entertainment magnate who is a major donor to the Democratic Party and to AIPAC.

Haim Saban is one of Hillary Clinton's biggest campaign contributors.

[fasttense]

10. Wow, even Israel can buy our Congress

Thanks Supreme Court. You couldn't have made it any better for the uber rich.

[Ferd Berfel]

14. Those Republicans committed Treason

They should be treated like the criminals they are

BTW - every republican president since Eisenhower also committed treason to become president.

[malaise]

17. Another word for it

treason

[Thunderbeast]

19. Of course, the RW propoganda has a different take...

Heard on Gary Kaltbaum wing nut business radio show today:

"Huge scandal about to break! Obama has been spying on Congress and the mainstream media will ignore it as usual"

[GoCubsGo]

46. Actually, the MSM took the same route.

All the morning network infotainment shows, like the "Today Show" were wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth over the NSA "spying on Netanyahoo" yesterday. Not a peep about the rest of the story.

[Nyan]

20. Third Way dems are not too different

Chuck Schumer so thoroughly sold out to Israeli lobby that he opposed the Iran deal.

[lark]

27. Said it then, will say it again.

Israel is not our partner, they are only in it for themselves and fuck everyone else. Repugs are traitors who favor the warmongers in Israel over their own government.

[loyalsister]

55. I wonder what it would be like for us to have a Jewish president

who is not unconditionally supportive of Isreal's hawkishness? I hope we find out!!

[farleftlib]

61. President Sanders

Maybe we won't have to wonder too long.

[loyalsister]

62. That's what I am hoping!

I am thinking his perspective could really shake things up in a way that could actually bring about progress in the ME. High hopes, I know. But that's what any campaign should be about.

[ngGale]

28. The neocons stick together thru time and...

Space. They never change...

[underpants]

29. Okay now I get it. In RW world this story is that Obama spied on Congress

which had been going at least since W used 9/11 for everything.

In RW media THE story today is about how Obama spied on Israel and on members of Congress.

[CanonRay]

30. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure these must be criminal violations.

[tarheelsunc]

31. IOKIYAR. eom

[MisterP]

33. Trujillo and Somoza pulled the same thing: you criticized their regimes and

every government agency went after you and you got fired from even tenured jobs

Bibi's probably very worried about what happened to those respective dictators, while I don't think Mossad's pleased with all these burning bridges

[ViseGrip]

34. While Hillary parades and works with Kissinger

36. Oh, come on. Some were traitors for free based on their ideology and hatred for Obama.

43. Why was the NSA wiretapping those conversations?

That seems to be something of a privacy violation, doesn't it?

[leveymg]

44. Every call to the Israeli Embassy or the office of the PM of Israel is intercepted.

The Israelis bugged Clinton's calls at the White House, too. At least, that's what Bill told Monica.

They watch us, we surveil them.

[oberliner]

52. And whose job is it to leak the contents of those conversations?

And to what end?

[leveymg]

60. Everyone's just following orders.

I'm sure it's just a personal thing between two heads of state, both of whom won't be in office too much longer.

[randome]

67. The NSA monitors foreign communications. That's the very crux of their job.

If a GOP-er calls overseas, that conversation can legitimately be monitored. And some of you thought the NSA never did anything useful!

stations were liberal instead of ignoring or covering for these traitors

[bvar22]

48. Never Forget....Israel is our "friend" and ally...

..only when it suits their purpose.
If it suits their purpose to murder Americans, Israel will not hesitate nor feel guilt.


This is a photo of the USS Liberty taken shortly after it was attacked by Israeli jets and torpedo boats on June 8th, 1967.
The ship was painted Navy Grey, had large US ID #s, and was flying 2 US Flags.
The Israeli attack killed 37 US sailors, and wounded 171 more.

[Grins]

70. Friend of mine was on a carrier in the Med when that happened.

I think it was the Kennedy. Navy fighters were in position to launch to help the Liberty when told to stand down. Said the entire crew knew what was going on and were royally pissed at the order. He still bitches about it.

none dare call it treason,

and others not calling for the gallows? it is infuriating.

57. The OP IS ANTI SEMITIC

The purpose of the United States is to aid ISRAEL The Discretionary spending of the US Government is 1.1 trillion dollars. Of that one trillion ought to be AID TO ISRAEL. Every American MUST be willing to DIE FOR ISRAEL. Anything less is ANTI SEMITIC. Clean out your bank accounts, max out your credit cards and send the MONEY TO ISRAEL.

Israel is not our friend. It is time to end all aid to Israel. It is time to close down AIPAC or make its members register as foreign agents. TAKE ISRAEL OFF WELFARE.

64. Here in Chicago, A two hour special, PBS Frontline: Netanyahu At War

Video 01/05/16 at 9pm : http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/netanyahu-at-war/

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the most polarizing political leaders on the world stage. His hardline politics on Iran and Israeli-Palestinian affairs have won him both intense support and bitter criticism at home and abroad — all the more so after his dramatic attempt in March to derail President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran in front of the U.S. Congress. With new waves of violence between Israelis and Palestinians unfolding and Israel-U.S. relations already emerging as a 2016 campaign issue, FRONTLINE presents Netanyahu at War -- an epic, two-hour documentary from veteran filmmaker Michael Kirk tracing Netanyahu’s path to power, his combative relationships with multiple U.S. presidents and the implications in America and the Middle East. Netanyahu at War premieres Tues., Jan. 5, 2016 at a special time -- 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CST -- on PBS and online.

This should help us in our fight for Publicly Funded Elections! On what planet would we believe that giving large donations to re-election campaigns does not result in a payback of some sort? We have seen the Princeton study, we have seen the Jack Abramoff debacle with Hot Tub Tom Delay.

I hope they find direct evidence of treason with these bastards because I know it is going on. They have become too comfortable selling out to anyone with campaign money.
