overnor Jim McGreevey's sorrowful admission on August 12, 2004 to an adulterous homosexual affair with Golen Cipel while in office certainly presents provocative copy, yet there is something very fishy about this and the direction the media chooses to pursue.  Frankly, it stinks to high heaven. What do I mean?  A question best illustrates the issue.

Which is worse?

A   Having an adulterous affair with a homosexual while in office

B   Allowing a spy into your bed, attempting to install him into a highly sensitive security position, providing him access to sensitive military, energy, technology and corporate intelligence and endangering the entire country via this appointment?

Call me crazy, but option (B) affects every American in the United States.  Option (A), though embarrassing affects McGreevey and his family with little consequence to the rest of us.  It's a scandal, but not a strong reason to resign or come forward.
 

it's Time to Put America First 08/29/2004 Another potential Israeli spy, Larry Franklin, a desk officer in the Defense Department's Near East and South Asia Bureau, working under Douglas Feith as first reported by CBS, is suspected as the Pentagon mole, though some news sources state this is the first time since Pollard during the 1980's, one has been caught.  spies among us That number is off by at least eight-hundred.  September 11, 2001 five Mossad assets were arrested celebrating the attack in New Jersey as the Twin Towers disintegrated.  In January 2002, FOX News exposed a nationwide Israeli spy ring utilizing art students and mall kiosk workers in the hundreds, in addition to the use of moving companies as Mossad fronts in the United States.  Between September 11, 2001 and January 2002 we deported nearly 800 Israeli nationals suspected of spying on the US.  This moving company manifestation continues both in organized crime and earlier this year more Israeli agents under the cover of moving company workers were caught in Tennessee attempting to smuggle out classified submarine fuel.  We have the wire and phone tapping scandals by Israeli companies likewise exposed in this time frame. Then we have Golan Cipel, a confirmed Israeli Agent. It's long been suspected that members of JINSA, (Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs) the authors of our current war in Iraq, the PNAC (Project for the new American Century) and organizations including AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) which lobbies congress and is considered the most powerful lobby in America and the ADL (Anti-Defamation League), which acts as the Intelligence arm in the United States (The ADL has been caught multiple times, tried and convicted for illegal spying and harassment of American citizens) under the guise of fighting racism while it promotes, funds and protects this same racism in Israel. All of these agencies and several others have been involved in securing American support, funds and munitions on behalf of Israeli interests, to the detriment of American rights, American tax payments and International objectives.  To speak of such automatically brands the reporter or politician anti-Semitic, which is ironic because the ADL like the cat with the canary, writes the rules about what is anti-Semitic and what isn't.  There is nothing anti-Semitic about protesting or pointing to our security breaches and undue influence on US policy, politicians, media, budgets and the Constitution. Rather it is anti-American not to object. It is our country after all. To date these organizations hide behind the Jewish faith, curbing any discussion in the mainstream press through accusations of anti-Semitism.  (Several pro-Israel but unconstitutional resolutions have been winding through congress stripping Americans of our 1st, 4th, 5th and 10th Amendment rights while protecting Israel from scrutiny including HR4230, HR3077 and S-625.  These always appear benign and helpful on the surface.  They are not.).  The Franklin spy scandal in Washington DC must be enormous for CBS to risk condemnation by AIPAC and the Christian Zionists.  Other-wise it would be covered up like the aforementioned incidents of the past three years.  AIPAC will swing into action and attempt to minimize this, denying of course everything.  Israeli loyalists in the media will attempt to spin this as not damaging because Israel is our "friend"; don't be surprised by this.  Ariel Sharon has bragged on at least one public occasion that Israel controls the US Media.  "While AIPAC claims it never heard of Larry Franklin, he is known to the Israeli intelligence community. He has appeared more than once at meetings with Israeli intelligence, especially with military intelligence, mostly in a group setting."--Ha'aretz Daily, Israel (08/29/2004) Americans need to realize, only Israel continually gets caught spying on us, (Australia, New Zealand and other countries it Israel also denies spying on even after their agents are convicted and  thrown in jail) selling our military secrets to communist countries and compromising our security.  Britain doesn't do this. France doesn't do this.  Canada doesn't do this, nor does Mexico and there would be hell to pay if they did.  But as our "special" friend, Israel gets away with murder, espionage and every other sin at the expense of US security, credibility, taxes, morality and international standing. The major problems facing American democracy, our constitution and freedom, all trace back to the same little country, the one we keep catching spying and selling our security, the same country both Bush and Kerry proudly and publicly swear their solidarity to our "friend" Israel.  THE AGENDA This isn't about religion, nor is it about "fighting terrorism"; the issues remain the same if Israel is Catholic, Muslim or Buddhist. Religion continues to be used as a weapon to obscure and prevent discussion. As far as terrorism, it wouldn't exist in the Middle East if Israel ceased exterminating its neighbors, or if it adhered to the agreement establishing the State of Israel in 1948. Rather than live in peace and equality, Israel instituted a campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide. (Israel possesses the 4th largest military in the world with over 600 WMD's.  Israel is not a helpless nor an oppressed nation.  It defeated several nations in just six days and it has always, from day one outnumber the totality of all Arab country militaries by at least 3:1) Terrorism exist because Israel's  American enabler continually supplies it with UN injunctions, money and the weapons of oppression. Israel's problems find origin in its policies: apartheid, genocide, racism, elitism and ethnic cleansing,  nothing more. It is that simple.  If Americans truly want to end terrorism, the solution begins in Palestine; it is called justice, not apartheid. Continuing to shield Israel isn't helping Israelis. It's killing them, morally, spiritually and physically.  If Americans really care about the Israelis and want to save the Jewish people the biggest favor we can do is eighty-six all support until they learn to get along with their neighbors.  Muslims, Jews and Christians existed together in relative peace for nearly 1900 years. Terrorism will end in the Middle East once the financial and political support of America ends.  It's called tough love and it works whether we're speaking of unruly teenagers, alcoholics or rogue nations drunk on elitism, entitlement and racism. Wacky Priorities How many spies are required for this nation to wake up?  And why as a nation do we rally behind presidential candidates placing the welfare and importance of a foreign theocracy before the Constitution and the welfare of the United States?  Does it not seem odd for the President of the United States and three quarters of congress to proudly swear their solidarity to a foreign country?  Think about that.  Think about what that really means. The CIA consistently reports Israel is disruptive in American efforts to improve its relations with Arab Nations and on improving relations between Washington and Damascus. This may be one reason why a change of command at the CIA and the push to dismantle the CIA as obsolete is occurring in the Bush Administration currently under the control of hard-line neocons notorious for placing Israeli interests before American.  Similar campaigns toward obsolescence are being waged by the same neocons against the other main obstacles to Israeli free reign: the United Nations and the World Court, both which consistently validate the CIA stance on this issue. Decision Time As Americans we need to decide whether we continue to cower in fear of being labeled anti-Semitic for standing up for our country, or pay the true price of freedom by fielding these accusations and exposing them for the BS they are.  Which is more important: The Constitution, Freedom and the United States, or apartheid, terrorism and Israel? I vote for America. What amazes me is how few of my countrymen agree.  If the choice is between supporting Israeli apartheid and the United States our constitution and freedom,  Israeli apartheid and racism win every time. I don't get it. What are we afraid of, a little name calling, being called racists for objecting to racism? Anyone who thinks will see this for the oxymoron it is. There is nothing anti-Semitic about putting American interests first. We are American; we're supposed to.  It's called self-preservation.  After thirty-seven years and nearly two-trillion in aid and munitions to Israel, it is time we put the United States first. This is easy. Simply follow the Constitution and apply the same standards we adhere to in the United States with our actions and support abroad.  Apartheid, racism, oppression, ethnic cleansing are not American values.  So why in Israel do we fund, defend and support them? Would not that money be better spent supporting our own (healthcare, education, Social Security etc...) rather than funding the sources and providing the reasons for terrorism? As for Franklin, this whole affair and the very quick cover-up...three days, Cipel took four leads me to believe, he is the sacrificial lamb.  The problems are still there: Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Kristol  Cheney and the rest of the gang who seem to believe the blood, reputation and integrity of Americans is worth their billions, power and agendas.  I have a feeling the families of the slain would disagree. -LDL

Then we have the US media. Yes, the National Enquirer would focus on a homosexual affair.  That is their beat.  But ABC, FOX, the New York Times and Washington Post, tabloid journalism isn't their forte, at least it didn't used to be.  Which is why the media's focusing on the homosexual affair instead of the fact that Golen Cipel is a known Israeli operative who infiltrated a Governor's office and almost Homeland Security causes such alarm.  That's the story; that's what the media should be investigating. What systems were compromised? What information did Cipel pass on?  Why did he target McGreevey? What did Israel hope to learn? What power did they hope to exercise by corrupting the governor of New Jersey? Who is Golen Cipel? Golen Cipel at thirty-three is being positioned as a poet…a warm fuzzy that brings to bear images of idealism, pacifism and deep thought and fits neatly with the cultivated image of the wildly creative, cuddly yet persecuted image of homosexuality so popular in the media today.  Immediately Cipel receives the moniker of victim via this great distraction and brilliant piece of spin defined to deflect scrutiny. As an irrelevant detail, the stress of his poet soul's prominence within several stories August 13, 2004 shows it to be intentional serving two purposes: it softens the blow to homosexuality by maintaining a positive image and it redirects attention away from the more ominous details and Israel.  Of course by the fourteenth of August, Cipel's story changed three times.  He's gay; he's not gay. He's gay. Oops, no he's not gay again. The Ominous Details Cipel served as public relations officer in the Israeli consulate in New York as "information officer" from at least February 1996 until April 1999. During this time Cipel made appearances including the American Veterans of Israel's 1948 war, while creating propaganda for the state of Israel. Upon completion of his assignment he returned to Israel serving as a parliamentary aide to a Labor member of the Knesset, and was a public relations officer for the city of Rishon Letzion.  It is here he met McGreevey. Working at the consulate, Cipel shares a commonality with all countries' intelligence forces. Whether CIA, MI-6 or any other, most agents do time at their country's consulate as part of their training in foreign countries.  It is the best way to learn a new country, its habits, culture and language quickly.  This tour of duty also provides access to diplomats and diplomatic immunity. Working at a foreign consulate fits within Mossad's standard operating procedures Victor Ostrovsky details in his book about his years as a Mossad agent, "By Way of Deception". Bolstering the spy angle is a letter to the INS McGreevey's chief counsel, Paul Levinsohn submitted describing the nature of Cipel's work on behalf of the Israeli government: "In particular, his experience as chief information officer, consulate general of Israel, involved responsibility for developing and maintaining the country's terrorism portfolio, keeping government authorities abreast of terrorist activities and threats, maintaining a database of such activities and coordinating that information with data obtained from other agencies." Not exactly the duties of an entry-level public relations worker the $30,000 a year salary he later took intimates. In fact, this description contains no duties common to public relations or marketing. So why when Cipel returned did he take an entry-level salary and position if he'd previously been Information Officer in charge of Israeli propaganda and terrorism intelligence?   Where are the US's investigative reporters when we need them? What is known, Cipel is foreign agent, though whether he was full-fledge Mossad or a simple asset remains speculation, though sources consulted today contend Cipel is  Junior Mossad Case Officer assigned to penetrate New Jersey's homeland defense systems. This designation places Cipel at the same point Victor Ostrovsky was when he left Mossad in the mid 1980's.  Judge Andrew Napolitano confirmed Cipel's foreign intelligence agent status on the O'Reilly Factor August 12, 2004, twice. Additional sources, federal and foreign support Napolitano's assertions.  Israel managed to get a spy into a governor's bed.  Talk about bed bugs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this seem a little more important than focusing on a homosexual affair and infidelity?   How many state security secrets surreptitiously slipped during silliness between salacious acts satisfied while submerged in silk sheets? Field Trips for US Politicians: The Set-up McGreevey met Cipel on an all expenses paid field trip to Israel in January 2000 when introduced by an Israeli mayor at a reception.  Few American Senators, Congressmen, Presidents or Governors escape this trip designed to assure total loyalty, empathy and commitment to the Israeli agenda by our officials. Of importance to note, any congressman or diplomat reaching out to the Palestinians immediately becomes fodder for defamation and removal from office.  These trips purposely present Israel's side exclusively and deny the 3.5 million non-Jewish residents a voice or contact. Former Congressman Findley details this in his book and the price paid for looking at both sides. For Israel these political ties form the bedrock of profitability, explaining why a nation actively engaged in apartheid and war crimes of just 5.5 million people receives 40% of the entire US Foreign Aid budget and the bulk of our military equipment free of charge, year after year after year.  Given what is at stake, it is understandable why Israel required collecting another Governor for its needs. According to the Israeli mayor facilitating the introduction, Cipel and McGreevey "hit it off" right away.  Whether this introduction represents happenstance or intention remains unknown, though the few former Mossad agents who have written books on the Israeli intelligence system provide enough evidence to believe this introduction intentional. They would have briefed Cipel to McGreevey's likes, interests, dislikes, opinions and peculiarities allowing Cipel to create a character McGreevey would be drawn to.  According to these former agents, sex or greed generally work best in getting close and infiltrating either an organization or circle. Mossad specifically looks for these opportunities and maintains files on all prominent political figures in the United States and abroad.  Even if Cipel didn't begin as an agent, which is highly unlikely given his previous duties, it's a near certainty upon viewing the relationship he was later recruited.  A spy in a governor's bed would be too tempting to ignore.  With his military training, Cipel already possessed the discipline and patriotism to Israel along with the technological knowledge of defense and surveillance systems. All he needed was a cover.  Charles Kushner stepped to the plate and provided this with a $30,000 a year entry-level public relations job just two weeks after McGreevey and Cipel met. Kushner is under investigation for tax evasion and election code violations.  As he appears to be the financial facilitator and chief advocate of an Israeli spy by arranging his work visas, employment and housing, Kushner should be under investigation for treason.  Jonathan Pollard, the Israeli spy continues to be the most damaging spy in US history.  Cipel, with such appointments may turn out to be far worse.

 Swallows: Sexual Spies

Gaining access through sexuality provides some of the best information and the CIA, Mossad, MI-6 and all other intelligence agencies worldwide regularly use hookers, concubines and escorts, often referred to as swallows to gleam information via pillow talk and intimacy. This should not surprise anyone.

By default, most people become quite candid with sexual partners allowing a multitude of details to spill forth while granting access to their private world where trust often leaves important information within easy reach. Because of the emotional ties, when sexually involved or intimate, people tend to advocate for their lover.  It's natural and a logical evolution to protect and promote those you care for.  This is the only logical explanation for McGreevey considering a foreign national to head the Homeland Security in his state; he's thinking with the wrong head, which men often do though usually women serve as bait. Such an appointment, rich in information Cipel easily could pass on to Israel about every citizen in New Jersey and beyond; this is a goldmine for Israeli intelligence.  Can anyone blame them for pursuing it?  Cipel's claim of "lack of experience" conveniently provides a red herring for the American people. The fact he was even considered should alarm anyone. The questions we should be asking are why that job?  Why that agency and how did they sell McGreevey on this?  Common sense states with Cipel's PR background, McGreevey would have given him a job in his press office; Director of Public Relations could have commanded a $110,000 salary without causing suspicion.  Where and how did the idea of directing Homeland Security for New Jersey come from?
