"FREE POLLARD" POSTER IN ISRAEL
By Gordon Duff – Senior Editor: Veterans Today
Israel is demanding the immediate release of Jonathan Pollard. Pollard, sentenced to life in prison for spying against the United States is a hero in Israel. Jonathan Pollard, an American of Jewish ancestry and Zionist extremist publicly stated that he tried to destroy America to help maintain the “racial purity of Israel.” Pollard may have been spying for Israel but all the information he stole, a truckload of America’s most vital secrets, all went to the Soviet Union.
Why did Israel send this information to Russia, the names of all American intelligence assets behind the Iron Curtain, the exact locations of all NATO nuclear weapons facilities, missile silos and detail on how to defeat America’s defenses from nuclear attack?
This is Israel’s deal this time. If America releases Pollard, Israel agrees to suspend its 62 year ethnic cleansing program against Palestinian Muslims and Christians, for a short time at least.
The American public has never been told the truth about Pollard. Current figures of deaths directly attributed to Pollard’s spying are at between 110 and 120 American CIA agents and up to 1600 top American intelligence assets that were foreign nationals. Minimally, Pollard should have faced 110 murder counts for American victims alone. He should have been tried and executed many years ago except for intercession by the government of Israel. Since Pollards sentencing in 1987, they have continually demanded his release.
Pollard wasn’t a spy, he was a terrorist.
Pollard had only one purpose, not to spy for Israel but to enable the Soviet Union to launch a successful nuclear “first strike” on America. Pollard didn’t act alone but had a series of handlers in Tel Aviv and Moscow,
THIS WASN’T AN ISRAELI SPY OPERATION BUT A JOINT SOVIET/ISRAELI ASSAULT ON NATO
For some reason, the State of Israel has never been called to account for its full complicity in Pollards crimes. Dozens of Israeli military and intelligence officials were fully complicit in along with Pollard and should have been extradited to the United States and tried for their crimes. Additionally, why isn’t it a crime for an Israeli to spy on the United States on behalf of the Soviet Union? If Israel and the United States are allies, then spying on the United States for Russia should have been a crime in Israel also.
Instead, Pollard and his accomplices in Israel are treated as national heroes and the American government has remained silent. Moreover, the American press, even when reporting Israel’s current demand for Pollard’s release, fails to outline the most basic facts of the case and, in particular, the most glaring inconsistencies.
WHEN AMERICA ALMOST DIED
Though the facts behind the Pollard disaster have never been made public, members of America’s military, intelligence and national security organizations knew, they had to, it was their job to try to defend a country left vulnerable to attack. Stories of DEFCON alerts tied to Pollard, are spoken of quietly, hushed voices, among retirees, pilots from the Strategic Air Command, NORAD personnel and other top military commands, both American and NATO partners.
Pollard dangled victory in front of a Soviet regime that was the most radical and thoughtless in their history, at a time when the signs of the collapse were becoming clear.
ISRAEL’S SIDE OF THE STORY
This is the rationale Israel gives for asking for Pollard’s release:
The Reagan Administration was withholding critical intelligence on potential terrorist attacks on Israel. (Editor’s note: Coincidentally, after Israel’s withholding information that would have prevented the attack on the Beirut Marine Barracks in 1983, killing 241 Americans including 220 Marines.)
President Reagan’s betrayal of Israel and the support for terrorists shown by people on his National Security Council, including advisers who were supplying Iran with advanced weapons including the Hawk anti-aircraft system and 1500 advanced TOW anti-tank missiles. (Iran Contra)
Key Reagan officials were actively building Iraq as an American surrogate power in the Middle East, offsetting Israel’s role as sole nuclear power in the region.
(Unstated but clearly implied) The Soviet Union had, by 1982 become a more reliable partner for Israel and was likely to come out the winner in the Cold War. (Editor’s note: Worst guess of all time)
WOLF BLITZER AND POLLARD
Wolf Blitzer, then of the Jerusalem Post, interviewed Pollard in his jail cell and wrote an article calling Pollard “Israel’s Master Spy.” Blitzer tried to paint Pollard as victim of an American witch hunt, the victim of an anti-Semitic FBI. The Washington Post published the Blitzer account and American media pulled in behind this false cover story painting Pollard as a victim.
Blitzer used his support of Pollard to vault himself to the top of Americas most respected media, the voice of CNN.
What is not reported is that Blitzer was only able to “spin” Pollard as aiding Israel because the damage done to the United States was so severe that it was and is classified. Polland and Blitzer talked about stealing intel on the PLO and Libya, information long shared with Israel but nothing about NATO order of battle or war plans against a Soviet ground offensive against Western Europe, the real heart of Pollards efforts.
The deal cut Pollard, leaving him alive, is the equivalent of giving a drunk driver who plows through a sidewalk filled with kindergartners a ticket for a broken tail light.
WHERE IS AMERICA’S PRESS?
The Pollard story should be a hot one. We have CIA agents rounded up, tortured for months, their networks turned, hundreds head for the gulag, more get a bullet in the back of the head. America is left blind and defenseless during the most brutal period of the Cold War, a period when the Soviets had a real superiority in missiles and the ability to hit any target with pinpoint accuracy, something continually misreported by America.
The nuclear Armageddon prayed for by Christian Zionists would have been a reality, for America at least. Russia would have survived relatively unscathed except for the radiation clouds from North America and Western Europe. This is the real story of Pollard, one totally blacked out in the press. Why is no one asking about this?
WIKIPEDIA ON POLLARD
Admiral Shapiro, who was himself Jewish, stated that he was troubled by the support of Jewish organizations for Pollard: “We work so hard to establish ourselves and to get where we are, and to have somebody screw it up… and then to have Jewish organizations line up behind this guy and try to make him out a hero of the Jewish people, it bothers the hell out of me”.[10]
Eric Margolis alleges that Pollard’s spying may have led to the capture and execution of CIA spies in the Eastern Bloc after Israel sold or bartered Pollard’s information to the Soviet Union.[60] According to one theory , Israeli businessman and convicted Soviet spy Shabattai Kalmanovich may have been made a scapegoat for information from Pollard that had been willingly shared by Israel with the Soviets in order to secure the release of certain Jewish scientists in the USSR.[61]
Ron Olive, retired Naval Criminal Investigative Service, led the Pollard investigation and in 2006 published the book Capturing Jonathan Pollard – How One of the Most Notorious Spies in American History Was Brought to Justice. In his book, Olive writes that Pollard was not serving Israel solely, and that Pollard confessed to passing secrets to South Africa and to his financial advisers, shopping his access to Pakistan and recruiting others for money.[62]
EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS
A few weeks ago, a serial killer was arrested in Atlanta, boarding a plane for Israel. For decades Israel was a “get out of jail free card” for anyone, with extradition totally impossible, no matter how serious the crime.
If an African American kills a police officer in any state, he will be executed. Are we saying that, if for instance, the murderer is of Jewish heritage and he kills a CIA officer, even a hundred CIA officers, he can reasonably expect to spent his reflective years in a beach front condo in Israel? Do the families of the dead have to see his beaming face on Israeli television or read his commentaries in the Jerusalem Post?
Well, this is exactly what Israel is asking for and are holding the lives of thousands of Palestinians hostage as a bargaining chip.
This sounds to me like the actions of a terrorist state.

The relatively light treatment of the convicted spy Pollard combined with various administration’s unwillingness to take a harder line against the Israelis because of it should make the citizenry mightily uncomfortable. It hits at the heart of what it means to be a citizen if those in power are willing to sell out the interests of their countrymen just to further some opaque personal goals. The whole notion of democracy and democratic representation is at issue here. The country would be better off with a benign dictatorship where the ruling powers are not subject to special interest groups as there is no need to worry about elections. I’m not sure that any system of government that subjects the welfare of the many to the control of the few is viable for humans. Democracy and capitalism have sure failed miserably, communism was no better….what’s next?

Clearly Pollard is going to be released by puppet boy soon, as a settlement freeze deal with Israel. So, in light of that, why don’t we just sit down and quickly tally up the money spent to house Pollard in near solitary confinement in federal lockup all these years since he’s been caught, and hand the ‘bill’ to Israel to pay us back in Shekels they stole from us in that nice heist that Dov Zackheim and Don Rumsfeld were being grilled by Cynthia McKinney about on Sept. 10, 2001? I mean, if you stay in a luxury hotel for a protracted time, if they’re not running your credit card every three days just to ensure they’ll get paid, they just keep you on a tab. Pollard’s tab must be pretty big about now, and maybe Israel can repatriate some of those shekels that Zackheim took back about 9 years ago to us?
When you look at Pollard, you see a pathetic and whiny jew who got caught screwing the proverbial pooch, and quite frankly, I’m surprised he’s spent 24 hours in lockup since the entire team of Urban Moving Systems demolitions experts, caught by the Ferking Bassturds of Israhell and sent home with their leader, Dominic Suter, were barely inconvenienced by the JUST US dept for their part in killing more than 2,800 american’s and others in NYC that day in 2001. Why single Pollard out and make him enjoy one of ‘Merka’s finest Penitentiaries?
I think the people who should be in Prison in liew of Jon Pollard, are every single politician who’s supported Israel all these years, either by bribery, or coercion, or both. And THEY solely, moreso than the inept jewish turd named Pollard, are the ones who much more positively fit the profile for CAPITAL PUNISHMENT for HIGH TREASON.
What say you, blogosphere crowd? What say you all?

why doesn’t the cia give pollard a planned heart attack. it wouldn’t be the first time they did something like that.I guarantee you that israel will force us th hand him over. we are probably just waiting to see what kind of bullshit we can use to mollify the American people.As far as Israel stopping new settlements i exchange for pollards freedom, BULL.If you believe that then you probably believe in Santa Claus & the tooth fairy. It aint ever going to change guys, but i hope i,m wrong.

that fat scummy pig Pollard is about one Big Mac away from his myocardial infarction, if my guess is right, and they ought to have both he and Bill Clintonstoned sit down together with a sack or two of those and someone else go hide the goddamned defibrillator or take the batteries out…and watch the fun.
If Barry Soetoro swaps Pollard for 3 months of settlement freeze, this signal to the MOSSAD is this; “y’all come on over, if you get caught and the wrong part of the F.B.I. that you own and operate here, catches you…we’ll cut you a sweet deal and let you stay in the Biltmore in NYC, ‘under house arrest’ with room service and hookers, and we’ll even book you first class on your El Al flight back to Tel Aviv when it’s time to go home and debrief..how’s that sound??”
But, as you all know, neither fast food nor an elboy vigorously applied to Soetoro’s skull will keep this travesty of justice from going forward. They’ll send Pollard home, apologize profusely to his sea daddy, BiBi Netanyahooooooooooo, and probably pay the Israeli’s ‘back pay’ for all the years Pollard was incarcerated here. After all, this is AMERK’A, right!

aS a retired spec/op MACV SOG army man who
got my start in Vietmam,this(above) is exactly why I moved to Holland as a expat the freedom I experence here & in Europe is
much more than is avaible to me in U.S.,
don’t get me wrong there is lots of problems here but it is also caused by the
zionist controled banks also same as U.S.
Spain is being taken over by thier own illegal immigration(African’s are thier version of America’s Mexicans)I will say
the youngest Arab cab driver in Amsterdam
is much smarter about the world then anyone
whom I met in the last 10 yrs. in U.S.
the schooling here puts U.S. to shame,I really belive we have become the unschooled
bully of the world,looking back now I see
how much I was brainwashed”too late too smart” As much as I dislike H.Kissinger I
now agree w/his statement made just before
he adressed the Bilderberg meeting in Turkey”What we in America call terroists
are really groups of people that reject the
international system,the new world order”.
I worked starting in 1978 to expose the zionist movement in U.S. all I got was IRS
vist’s 3 yrs in a row American’s did not want to learn that they were losing control
of “thier” gove I bought copies of the spotlight & GAVE them away f/free I gave talks I tried but they were not able or
ready to learn now I’am 70 I give up I’am
going to enjoy what yrs. I have left,I feel
America has pasted a tipping point of stupid!

Folks, I don’t worry about Pollard. He was probably the most incompetent spy in history. He drew attention to himself with bad behavior at work. His boss was eager to fire him. One of the few ways to fire a federal worker is for mishandling classified information. The boss decided to investigate and the rest is history. If Pollard had been a good spy he would still be spying today. Pollard was not especially talented in any way; there are thousands who could do his job better. I believe thousands are, including Jews and Gentiles, spying for Israel, China, any country with money. I assume Israel has access to any secret we have, including the ability to launch our nukes at any target, including our own cities. My suggestion: forget witch hunts. Just get rid of our empire. Protect the Atlantic and Pacific, along with the Western Hemisphere. The rest…fuggedaboudit as they say in New York. Ron Paul in 2012

My point: let us NEVER assume Pollard is the only one. He is not; he is at best a fall guy, one of their least valuable that they let us catch so they could say “see, you caught him; he’s the only one.”
Let us assume the Israeli government knows every secret we have. Let us secure our nukes so well that even WE cannot use them without many levels of approval, in order that Israel cannot use our nukes. Google Minot+Barksdale+nuclear.
Let us give up our empire and defend ourselves ONLY. Not Israel, not Europe, Japan, South Korea, or anyone else. Let us stop building expensive weapons that we have to give Israel for them to reverse engineer and sell to China and Russia.
Let us understand how completely we are penetrated by Israel and China. TODAY, Israel could WIN a nuclear war against the USA, using our own nukes. THAT worries me….
