Obama Spites Israel By Declassifying And Publishing Their Secret Nuclear Program


Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama has spitefully and vindictively declassified a top secret Israeli nuclear program out of revenge, after he was exposed in the press for unethically tampering with the Israel national election, in a failed bid at getting Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, kicked out of office. 


The unprecedented disclosure was released by Obama’s Department of Defense on his orders. The documents contain 386 pages of documents exposing Israel‘s nuclear program in detail, while redacting secret information about other nations, which proves it was done out of spite. Is it really a good idea to spite one of America’s allies. What will that accomplish. As the Judiciary Report has maintained all week, President Obama is anti-Semitic [President Obama Meddled In The Israeli Election Trying To Get Benjamin Netanyahu Kicked Out Of Office (Video)].

US Declassifies Document Revealing Israel's Nuclear Program  

First Publish: 3/25/2015, 8:00 PM  - US Declassifies Document Revealing Israel's Nuclear Program. Obama revenge for Netanyahu's Congress talk? 1987 report on Israel's top secret nuclear program released in unprecedented move. In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel's nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until now has respected by remaining silent.

But by publishing the declassified document from 1987, the US reportedly breached the silent agreement to keep quiet on Israel's nuclear powers for the first time ever, detailing the nuclear program in great depth. The timing of the revelation is highly suspect, given that it came as tensions spiraled out of control between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama ahead of Netanyahu's March 3 address in Congress, in which he warned against the dangers of Iran's nuclear program and how the deal being formed on that program leaves the Islamic regime with nuclear breakout capabilities.

Another highly suspicious aspect of the document is that while the Pentagon saw fit to declassify sections on Israel's sensitive nuclear program, it kept sections on Italy, France, West Germany and other NATO countries classified, with those sections blocked out in the document. The 386-page report entitled "Critical Technological Assessment in Israel and NATO Nations" gives a detailed description of how Israel advanced its military technology and developed its nuclear infrastructure and research in the 1970s and 1980s.

Israel is "developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs. That is, codes which detail fission and fusion processes on a microscopic and macroscopic level," reveals the report, stating that in the 1980s Israelis were reaching the ability to create bombs considered a thousand times more powerful than atom bombs. The revelation marks a first in which the US published in a document a description of how Israel attained hydrogen bombs.

The report also notes research laboratories in Israel "are equivalent to our Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore and Oak Ridge National Laboratories," the key labs in developing America's nuclear arsenal. Israel's nuclear infrastructure is "an almost exact parallel of the capability currently existing at our National Laboratories," it adds. "As far as nuclear technology is concerned the Israelis are roughly where the U.S. was in the fission weapon field in about 1955 to 1960," the report reveals, noting a time frame just after America tested its first hydrogen bomb.

Institute for Defense Analysis, a federally funded agency operating under the Pentagon, penned the report back in 1987. Aside from nuclear capabilities, the report revealed Israel at the time had "a totally integrated effort in systems development throughout the nation," with electronic combat all in one "integrated system, not separated systems for the Army, Navy and Air Force." It even acknowledged that in some cases, Israeli military technology "is more advanced than in the U.S."

Declassifying the report comes at a sensitive timing as noted above, and given that the process to have it published was started three years ago, that timing is seen as having been the choice of the American government. US journalist Grant Smith petitioned to have the report published based on the Freedom of Information Act. Initially the Pentagon took its time answering, leading Smith to sue, and a District Court judge to order the Pentagon to respond to the request.

Smith, who heads the Institute for Research: Middle East Policy, reportedly said he thinks this is the first time the US government has officially confirmed that Israel is a nuclear power, a status that Israel has long been widely known to have despite being undeclared...

Washington Navy Yard Killer More Proof That Schizophrenics Should Not Own Guns


An armed police office standards guard over the Washington Navy Yard after deadly shooting

34-year-old Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis was a schizophrenic man who shot and killed 12 people this week in Washington, D.C. and wounded others, before being shot and killed by police. The 12 people he killed were between the ages of 50-73. It is the second deadliest military base shooting, behind Fort Hood. Investigations into the incident reveal Alexis was mentally ill. He was officially diagnosed as schizophrenic, receiving treatment through the Navy.


Aaron Alexis

However, Alexis was able to purchase a 12-guage shot gun and ammunition for $540, in spite of background checks (much like the Virginia Tech mass shooting). Alexis also had a history of violence, regarding incidents that involved guns. What is even stranger is Alexis, with his mental history, has security clearance which granted him access to classified documents at the Department of Defense.

It is being reported Alexis was a "Thai speaking Buddhist" who was "not happy with America" struggling with money problems. Kristi Suthamtewkal, a friend of Alexis stated to NBC News, "He was tired of dealing with the government." She also stated, "I knew he was not happy with America and he felt slighted as a veteran and he was ready to move out of the country."

Soldier Bradley Manning Found Guilty Of Violating Espionage Act (Video)

  |
  |


Private Bradley Manning, the soldier responsible for bravely leaking government documents and footage to website Wikileaks.org, showing among other things, civilians being murdered in the Middle East, has been found guilty on six counts of violating the Espionage Act of 1917. The 25-year-old American born solider, who spent some of his formative years in Wales (United Kingdom), was acquitted of the most serious charge of "Aiding the Enemy."


Edward Snowden 

Manning has been kept under terrible prison conditions, meant to punish and break him physically and mentally, before trial. His conviction comes as a disappointment to many, who view it as a blow to free speech and free press. Manning exposed government wrongdoing and like NSA leaker, Edward Snowden, should be commended for that. It's ironic and hypocritical that select members of government egregiously break the law, yet those that expose it should be sentenced to prison.  There's something very wrong with that.

The Obama Administration In Trouble For Using The NSA To Wiretap The Internet To Spy On People (Video)

Privacy Is Gone!


The Washington Post has uncovered an unconstitutional Obama Administration initiative via the NSA that is indiscriminately spying on Americans across the board via tapping internet servers of sites such as Facebook, Apple, AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft, among others.

The Washington Post revealed, "The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track foreign targets, according to a top-secret document obtained by The Washington Post."

In past articles, such as The FBI Wiretapped 27 Million Calls In One Year, the Judiciary Report warned the numbers aren’t adding up and that the government is spying on innocent people, as there could not be that many criminals in America to constitute millions of people being watched.

Ironically, in February 2013, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the NSA for my film "Justice And Truth" due to a discovery I’d made. The NSA wrote back in a letter dated March 7, 2013 and politely stated, "The fact of the existence or non-existence of responsive records is a currently and properly classified matter in accordance with Executive Order 13526, as set forth in Subparagraph (c) of Section 1.4. Thus, your request is denied pursuant to the first exemption of the FOIA, which provides that FOIA does not apply to matters that are specially authorized under criteria established by an Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign relations and are properly classified pursuant to such Executive Order." It was signed by Pamela N. Phillips, NSA FOIA Chief.

As I am not a threat to national security (I do not own a gun or any weapons, do not espouse violence and have no interest in the branch of science related to weaponry, bombs or bio warfare - my interest lays in the development of pharmaceutical drugs to help the sick) the only thing that would apply is "foreign relations" as I am a dual citizen of Jamaica and America. Now what has the government (the FBI) done regarding me that could cause a problem regarding "foreign relations." I have nothing to hide, so what is the government hiding.

Additionally, when the government refuses to "confirm or deny" the existence of an item as the term goes, it means yes, we’re engaging in said conduct, but won’t put it in writing or release the accompanying documents. Otherwise they’d just say no. The aforementioned NSA letter (and others) will be in the film along with other related items (let’s hope I don’t get shot before the movie comes out).

I should note, the site statistics software, Traffic Facts, which I have used for this website to gauge the internet traffic coming into it, has revealed the Department of Defense has been a regular visitor to the site for years. I didn’t put two and two together until this year that the NSA is a branch of the Department of Defense, as the letterhead in the aforementioned FOIA response I received indicates.

Obama Heckled By Gays In California

Video: 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Interruption

U.S. President Barack Obama was visibly shaken and upset at being heckled by a group of gay activists, due to his Justice Department and Attorney General, Eric Holder, reneging on a promise to lift the ban on gays openly serving in the U.S. military.

It has been a long standing rule in the armed forces, not to have openly gay individuals serving, as according to experts, it causes rifts in military cohesion. This long held practice has been firmly in place for many years, until rich gay Hollywood campaign donors pulled Obama's strings, in a bid to get the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" ban lifted, much to the fury of the U.S. military.

President Obama and his cabinet need to think long and hard before they undertake any decisions that weaken the U.S. Military. The Judiciary Report is not trying to hurt gay people's feelings, but at a time when crisis after crisis has erupted regarding America, the Iranian government and separately, terrorists groups targeting the United States, throwing the nation's military into disarray and disunity is not a good idea.

Obama Places Restrictions On America's Nuclear Role

U.S. President Barack Obama (center)

U.S. President Barack Obama has placed restrictions on America's nuclear role in the world, outlining terms when such action is permissible. Among them are, in the event of an attack from another nation. President Obama plans to rely more on military might that nuclear capability.

U.S. Republicans on the other end of the political spectrum are not keen on Obama's latest announcement, claiming an arms reduction poses a threat to national security.

Pentagon Profiling Reporters

...For Neutralization

The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia (USA)

An explosive article published this week stated, the U.S. Pentagon, which houses the Department of Defense, who ironically appear in this Column's site statistics as frequent visitors, has been profiling journalists, selecting candidates for neutralization, based on their negative coverage of combat in the Middle East.

The Constitution guarantees Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Press, yet the Defense Department, is behaving in a manner contrary to the law of the land.

What is the Defense Department going to do about the many thousand reporters around the world writing about the wars in the Middle East in a very unflattering manner? Are people supposed to be happy and cheerful at the fact civilians and soldiers are dying for wars many do not understand or support.

Files prove Pentagon is profiling reporters

Thursday, August 27, 2009 - WASHINGTON — Contrary to the insistence of Pentagon officials this week that they are not rating the work of reporters covering U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Stars and Stripes has obtained documents that prove that reporters’ coverage is being graded as “positive,” “neutral” or “negative.”

Moreover, the documents — recent confidential profiles of the work of individual reporters prepared by a Pentagon contractor — indicate that the ratings are intended to help Pentagon image-makers manipulate the types of stories that reporters produce while they are embedded with U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

This pie chart was extracted from a report by The Rendon Group, evaluating the focus of coverage by a reporter for a major U.S. newspaper. It indicates the firm’s conclusion that the reporter’s coverage was 83.33 percent neutral and 16.67 percent negative in relation to the military’s mission objectives.

One reporter on the staff of one of America’s pre-eminent newspapers is rated in a Pentagon report as “neutral to positive” in his coverage of the U.S. military. Any negative stories he writes “could possibly be neutralized” by feeding him mitigating quotes from military officials.

Another reporter, from a TV station, provides coverage from a “subjective angle,” according to his Pentagon profile. Steering him toward covering “the positive work of a successful operation” could “result in favorable coverage.”

The new revelations of the Pentagon’s attempts to shape war coverage come as senior Defense Department officials are acknowledging increasing concern over recent opinion polls showing declining popular American support for the Afghan war...

“These ground rules recognize the inherent right of the media to cover combat operations and are in no way intended to prevent release of embarrassing, negative or derogatory information,” reads the “News Media Ground Rules” issued by U.S. military officials for embedded reporters in Iraq.

Several professional journalists’ groups as well as media ethicists criticized the Pentagon’s attempts to rate and manipulate reporters. And at least one military official with knowledge of the profiling system has also begun to raise objections.

“It’s troubling that the military is contracting a private PR firm, paid with U.S. taxpayer dollars, to profile individual reporters,” said one servicemember who declined to be identified for fear of official retribution. “It shows utter contempt for the Constitution, which we in the service pledge our lives to defend.”
