GRANT F. SMITH: Espionage Theft & Secrets within US-Israel Trade
Author Discusses Espionage, Politics, Secrecy, Myths and the US-Israel Free Trade Area
On April 6, Grant F. Smith presented a comprehensive review of the US-Israel Free Trade Agreement to the Finance and Economics Council at the University of Rochester.
Using a slide show of declassified documents and charts, Smith revealed how secret agreements and a joint Israeli embassy/AIPAC covert operation undermined US industries and the trade negotiating process.
New quantitative analysis and disclosures reveal the US-Israel trade agreement is actually a $10 billion/year foreign aid program. Smith also discusses how major omissions in Dan Senor and Saul Singer’s 2009 Council on Foreign Relations book Start-up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle undermine their two major findings: that perpetual conflict gives Israel a comparative advantage and that the US should reinstate conscription in order to match Israel’s entrepreneurial output.
The US-Israel Free Trade Area – Discussion
Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle is a 2009 Council on Foreign Relations book brimming with anecdotes, assumptions, and advice. Dan Senor and Saul Singer explain Israel’s entrepreneurial successes as products of Israeli national character through pithy quotes, high-tech case studies, and selective histories. The pair recommends America become more entrepreneurial by replicating Israel’s conscription based national service model. But the authors’ foray into the economics of national entrepreneurship and innovation utterly ignores the demand side of this equation — Americans who increasingly view Israel more as a liability than asset — at their peril…
…However, Start-up Nation airbrushes one vital and enduring truth — when Israel faces sovereign barriers to foreign trade routes, weapons, or technology; it tends to break other country’s laws and steal what it thinks it needs. Ever sensitive to Israel’s righteousness, members of the massive Haganah arms theft and smuggling ring in the US in the book were merely David Ben-Gurion’s “emissaries” to America, not felons violating US arms export laws. Theft of French Mirage jetfighter plans stolen to build the Israeli Kfir were justified to correct Charles Degaulle’s arms embargo, a “betrayal by a close ally.” Al Schwimmer, a felon convicted for violating US arms export controls that went on to become a player in the Iran-Contra scandal, is a “swashbuckler” in Start-up Nation… More

to all in general…
The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle, since its inception, is the story of Zionist industrial espionage against the United States and the rape of the American taxpayer, condoned by every president, funded by every Congress, and lied about on every media platform. Note the arrogant contempt and hatred for their own country on the part of these CFR authors.
The only miracle I see is the ability to control the entire federal government of the United States through control of the media, which makes these American-hating Zionists, incredibly, the sole gatekeepers of not only public discourse, but of political legitimacy itself. They have so far succeeded in pitting American against American according to his political temperament, but I see now patriotic Americans on both the left and right coming together, not to do battle with one another, but to trap this enemy in one overpowering pincer movement whose greatest weapon is the best of them all, the truth.
It just stands against any form of logic or rational thought that 2%, of a total population of 300.000.000, belonging to the same ridiculously small tribe, many of them dual citizens, acting openly as agents-assets-Sayanim of a foreign Rogue State, have been allowed to hijack the White House-Congress-Senate-Pentagon-Supreme Court-Academia and force a whole population to commit horrendous crimes and pay for aggressions and atrocities against other people who have never posed a threat to the US citizens.
The Zion Talmudic Mafia has achieved a TOTAL CONQUEST and ENSLAVEMENT of America and the Americans through the following exclusive privileges, obtained by deceitful means:
1) Ownership of the FEDERAL RESERVE, i.e. the ability to print all the MONEY the Mafia Dons want out of thin air, to endebt EVERY American, subvert the foundations-structures-normal functions of the US Institutions, ending up by pushing aside the TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOTS and replacing them by the “Chosen Ones” and Israel Firsters traitors,
2) A survey shows that 96% of the major Media are owned by Jews-Israel Firsters, i.e. they manipulate and filtrate the information or totally denature the truth and/or prevent it from getting to the US Citizens, thus, those media have been converted in propaganda instruments to deceive and shape the public opinion in accordance with the interests of the Rogue State of Israel. They are used too to promote on the political scene and into office members of the Zion Talmudic Mafia and to demonize any American Patriot who dare tell the truth and stand up against said MAFIA,
3) The AIPAC-ADL-JWC-CAMERA-B’NAI B’RIT have become the true rulers of America and they refer directly to Tel Aviv and London… Since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy the USA have been gradually taken over by the Zio Mafia, shaping its foreign policy and eroding the education-motivation and morale of its citizens.
Only masochists accept to live under above described conditions, where a handful of shrewd-cunning-lying turds and Banksters impose their will and bash round with a whole nation, involving it in senseless wars, giving it a bad name abroad and bankrupting it through systemic financial frauds in the same time time to achieve “The Israeli Miracle”.
Breaking news — A Senate panel charged with investigating the financial crisis is laying blame right where it belongs: At the foot of the mega-banks that pushed shoddy financial products on consumers and then deceived Congress. Goldman Sachs CEO Llyod Blankfein appears to have lied to Congress. It’s time for a criminal investigation — and the powerful senator who chaired the panel agrees.

According to the Huffington Post,
Carl Levin, chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, will recommend that Goldman executives who testified before his panel, including chairman and chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, be referred to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution, the Michigan Democrat announced Wednesday.
Investigators discovered that Goldman traders bragged about selling “shitty” deals to clients and the mega-bank bet against the same financial products it was selling to investors. And they’ve lied about it all the way to the bank.
Let’s join Senator Levin’s call for accountability. Will you urge the Department of Justice to investigate Blankfein? Just click here.

Thanks for demanding justice.

P.S. Now’s our moment: We need to hold people accountable if we’re going to prevent the sort of abuses that led to the financial collapse. Will you urge your friends to call for a serious investigation of Goldman and its CEO?
