È uscito in questi giorni l’ultimo libro del magistrato Ferdinando Imposimato sul caso Moro (I 55 giorni che hanno cambiato l’Italia. Perché Aldo Moro doveva morire? La storia vera, Roma, Newton Compton, 20013), che si basa sulle carte processuali, sui verbali, le testimonianze, gli interrogatori, le sentenze, i Documenti riservati del Ministero della Difesa e degli Interni, gli Atti e i Documenti delle Commissioni parlamentari e della “Commissione Stragi” guidata da Libero Gualtieri.
L’Autore è stato il giudice istruttore che si è occupato del caso Moro ed ha scritto poi numerosi libri su questo affare (Doveva morire, Milano, Chiarelettere, 2008; La Repubblica delle stragi impunite, Roma, Newton Compton, 2012).
L’ultimo suo libro aggiunge al penultimo, “vecchio” di appena un anno, la testimonianza di due militari sardi, che da due settimane (dopo soli sette giorni dal 16 marzo 1978, data del rapimento di Moro[1]) tenevano sotto stretto controllo la prigione del Politico italiano e stavano per fare irruzione nella sua prigione in via Montalcini n. 8 interno 1 il 7 maggio del 1978, due giorni prima della sua uccisione, ma furono fermati da un ordine del Ministero degli Interni, come vedremo dettagliatamente poi.
Imposimato per 30 anni (dal 1978 al 1998) ha creduto fermamente alla responsabilità esclusiva delle Brigate Rosse (BR) nella morte di Moro (I 55 giorni che hanno cambiato l’Italia. Perché Aldo Moro doveva morire? La storia vera, Roma, Newton Compton, 20013, p. 13)[2]. Ma, col passar del tempo, ha cominciato a scorgere alcune anomalie nell’operazione dell’eventuale salvataggio di Moro e quindi è giunto a rivisitare la cronaca giudiziaria e a rivedere il suo giudizio sulla storia di quei tempi cambiando radicalmente opinione.
Per esempio alcuni inquilini di via Montalcini n. 8, ove Moro era rinchiuso all’interno 1, raccontarono che alcuni agenti dell’Ucigos erano sopraggiunti lì subito dopo la notizia della morte dell’Onorevole democristiano e dopo aver scoperto il carcere non si intervenne per arrestare i carcerieri e assassini di Moro facenti parte delle ‘BR’: Gallinari, Moretti e Braghetti (Ib., p. 16).
Cominciarono ad apparire sempre più consistenti le ombre di Servizi segreti stranieri (Kgb[3], Bnd tedeschi, Cia, Mossad e Sas inglesi) e si appurò che i Servizi segreti italiani non peccarono per incapacità, ma per ordini ricevuti da Stati stranieri molto potenti ed influenti sulla politica dell’Italia degli anni 70/80 (p. 18).
L’antefatto all’uccisione di Moro inizia, secondo Imposimato, con il 1963 quando Moro in Italia e Kennedy in Usa avevano iniziato una politica che non piaceva ai poteri forti: Massoneria e particolarmente la Loggia P2, la Mafia, la “Destra” atlantica con i Servizi segreti rispettivi, Cia, Fbi, Sismi e Gladio (p. 25)[4].
Per esempio, Moro aveva continuato la politica filo-mediorientale, mediterranea ed anti atlantica di Enrico Mattei riguardo al petrolio dell’Eni; inoltre aveva fatto coniare all’inizio del 1978 le 500 lire cartacee dallo Stato italiano  e non dalla Banca d’Italia; infine la sua posizione riguardo al problema palestinese non era esattamente filo-israeliana. Fu così che Moro entrò in collisione con Henry Kissinger[5] (pp. 28-29), che ha consigliato la politica estera del Presidente americano Richard Nixon dal 1968 al 1973 ed è stato Segretario di Stato dal 1973 al 1976.
Inoltre Moro fu coinvolto con Craxi e Andreotti nell’affare dell’ Argo 16, che esplose in volo colpito, si dice, da un missile dell’aeronautica israeliana sopra i cieli di Marghera, perché l’aereo era servito per riportare in Libia un gruppo di terroristi arabi, accusati di aver progettato un attentato alle linee aeree ‘El Al’ di Israele. La loro liberazione, dopo essere stati arrestati dalla polizia italiana, avvenne su richiesta di Yasser Arafat, che in cambio si era impegnato a non compiere attentati in Italia. Sennonché il 17 dicembre del 1973, i terroristi di Abdu Nidal, antagonisti di Arafat, compirono una strage all’aeroporto di Fiumicino uccidendo 30 passeggeri della ‘Pan Americam’. I terroristi riuscirono ad ottenere il decollo di un aereo della Compagnia tedesca Lufthansa, che atterrò a Kuwait City. Il volo verso il Kuwait coinvolse Moro, allora Ministro degli Esteri, che naturalmente si attirò l’antipatia sempre più crescente degli Usa e di Israele, che vedevano in lui e poi in Craxi un filo-arabo, mentre Andreotti grazie al suo senso delle sfumature e distinzioni praticò una politica di “equi-vicinanza” (termine coniato da lui e che rispecchia in toto la sua personalità) e non di equi-distanza, come lo si accusava, verso Israele ed il mondo arabo e se la cavò con soli 10 anni di processi (p. 125).
Il braccio destro di Kissinger, Steve Pieczenik, il vero cervello o “cuore pulsante” del Comitato che gestiva la Crisi del caso Moro, ha infatti ammesso: “Sono stato io a preparare la manipolazione strategica che ha portato alla morte di Aldo Moro allo scopo di destabilizzare la situazione italiana. […]. Io son riuscito con la mia strategia a creare una unanime repulsione contro i terroristi delle BR e allo stesso tempo un rifiuto verso i comunisti [erano i tempi del “Compromesso storico” teorizzato da Enrico Berlinguer[6] dopo il golpe cileno di Augusto Pinochet nel 1973 e che stava per essere realizzato da Moro e da Berlinguer stesso, nda]. Il prezzo da pagare è stata la vita di Moro. […]. Ho dovuto sacrificare la vita di un individuo per la salvezza di uno Stato [è il famoso “principio di Caifa”, come lo chiamava Geremia Bentham, nda]. È stato un colpo mortale preparato a sangue freddo. La trappola era che loro [le BR, nda] dovevano uccidere Aldo Moro. […]. Cossiga era un uomo che aveva capito molto bene quali fossero i giochi[7]. Io non avevo rapporti con Andreotti, ma immagino che Cossiga lo tenesse informato. […]. Assieme a Cossiga abbiamo preso una decisone estremamente difficile. Ma la decisione finale è stata di Cossiga e, presumo, anche di Andreotti” (p. 8)[8].
Due militari sardi – Antonio Arconte e Franco Cancedda – hanno avuto una parte rilevante nel caso Moro. Dalle loro testimonianze, che confermano e chiariscono quanto si era saputo da altre fonti, esce un quadro agghiacciante.
Antonino Arconte, un giovane militare della Marina italiana e appartenente al Sid e a Gladio,  aveva ricevuto a La Spezia il 6 marzo del 1978 una busta sigillata dal Ministero della Difesa per portare un messaggio segreto, datato 2 marzo del 1978, all’agente finale, il colonnello del Sismi Stefano Giovannone a Beirut. Arconte non avrebbe dovuto aprire il plico sigillato, ma consegnarlo all’agente intermedio, il tenente colonnello Mario Ferraro non appena giunto a Beirut il 10 marzo 1978. Tuttavia, Arconte lesse il messaggio assieme a Ferraro. Quest’ultimo dopo averlo letto (ed averne parlato, purtroppo[9], con altri colleghi)  lo consegnò all’agente terminale, il colonnello Giovannone, il quale tornò in Italia per difendere la vittima designata, mentre Arconte e Ferraro, divenuti oramai amici stretti, si diressero in Egitto e mantennero l’originale che avrebbero dovuto distruggere (pp. 136-137). Il 28 febbraio del 1993 Arconte subì un attentato, ma riuscì a salvarsi, mentre – come si è visto – il 6 luglio del 1995 a Ferraro fu spezzato l’osso del collo.
La lettera parlava del sequestro Moro. La cosa il 6 marzo, circa 10 giorni prima del fatto, non destò gran meraviglia nel giovane marinaio, che ebbe l’accortezza di non parlarne con nessuno sino al 2012, mentre Mario Ferraro pagò con la vita l’imprudenza di averne parlato troppo con i colleghi a sequestro avvenuto.
Imposimato quando ascoltò la confessione di Antonio Arconte rimase meravigliato e si chiese se essa fosse autentica o fosse un falso per depistare e squalificare le sue ultime acquisizioni storiche sul sequestro dell’onorevole democristiano.
Se la lettera era autentica, lo Stato italiano non aveva fatto nulla per evitare il sequestro di Moro, e, dopo il sequestro, avrebbe continuato a non far nulla per evitare la sua uccisione.
Imposimato  che dubitava della sincerità di Antonio Arconte, iniziò a ricredersi nel 2002 dopo aver parlato con l’ex ammiraglio Falco Accame, il quale era convintissimo che la lettera era autentica, che Moro poteva essere salvato e lo aveva dichiarato all’Ansa in una nota del 16 aprile 2002 (p. 144).
Cossiga era intimo amico di Licio Gelli, acerrimo nemico di Moro (p. 145). Infine il giornalista Renzo Rossellini annunciò, con la speranza di salvare l’Onorevole democristiano, il sequestro di Moro a ‘Radio Città Futura’ alle 8, 30 del 16 marzo 1978, 30 minuti prima che l’aggressione avesse luogo. Ma invano: Moro doveva morire.
Nell’ottobre del 2008 si presentarono al dr. Imposimato tre militi della Guardia di Finanza (il luogotenente Mario Paganini, il brigadiere Giovanni Ladu e l’appuntato Damiano D’Alessandro), inviati dal colonnello Falorni.
Ladu voleva confessare ad Imposimato quel che aveva vissuto, assieme ad altri bersaglieri di leva, dal 24 aprile all’8 maggio del 1978 (vigilia dell’assassinio di Moro, ucciso il 9 maggio nel garage di via Montalcini nelle prime ore del mattino e ritrovato nel medesimo 9 maggio in via Caetani nel porta bagagli della Renault R4 rossa della BR). Non aveva avuto il coraggio di farlo prima, temendo non solo per la sua carriera militare, ma per la propria incolumità e quella della sua famiglia (p. 155).
I 10 giovani bersaglieri alloggiavano in un gabbiotto in via Montalcini davanti al numero civico 8, interno 1, ove era la prigione di Moro, e mediante una telecamera posta in un lampione vicinissimo all’appartamento-prigione spiavano le mosse dei brigatisti (p. 157).
Tutto era pronto per l’irruzione nel covo che avrebbe dovuto aver luogo l’8 maggio, ma il giorno prima (il 7 maggio) i militari, i corpi speciali italiani e gli agenti dei Servizi segreti stranieri ricevettero “allibiti” (p. 195) l’ordine perentorio di abbandonare la missione. Moro venne ucciso il 9 maggio (p. 169). Ladu venne avvertito dai superiori che doveva dimenticare quel che era successo.
Nel sequestro Moro entrano a far parte personaggi legati alla P2 (Licio Gelli, gen. Gianaledio Maletti, gen. Vito Miceli, gen. Pietro Musumeci, gen. Giuseppe Santovito), alla Banda della Magliana (Pippo Calò, Francesco Pazienza, Paolo Aleandri [10]), ai Servizi segreti italiani ed esteri (Maletti, Miceli, Musumeci, Sokolov ed agenti britannici [11]).
La testimonianza risalente al 2008 di Giovanni Ladu era interessante, ma Imposimato non era assolutamente certo della sua veridicità. Sennonché il 13 settembre 2012 un altro militare che aveva partecipato alle operazioni dall’aprile al maggio del 1978 e si firmava con lo pseudonimo di “Oscar Puddu”, scrisse via mail al dr. Imposimato per avvalorare la versione di Ladu (p. 177).
L’ex giudice volle vagliare tutte le prove per vedere se erano attendibili e alla fine dovette riconoscere che lo erano veramente.
“Oscar Puddu” raccontò che, assieme ai Servizi segreti italiani siti in Forte Braschi (in via della Pineta Sacchetti, quartiere Trionfale) sotto la direzione del generale Pietro Musumeci (della Loggia P2), vi erano anche agenti che parlavano inglese e tedesco (la Germania orientale allora doveva fronteggiare la Banda Baader-Meinhof, una specie di BR tedesche).
Mino Pecorelli in un articolo di “OP” del 17 ottobre 1978 scrisse che il Ministero degli Interni conosceva l’ubicazione della prigione di Moro, ma che non aveva potuto far nulla poiché doveva sentire più in alto[12], ma venne ucciso con un colpo d pistola in bocca il 20 marzo 1979 (pp. 238 e 243).
Il generale Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, che avrebbe voluto fare l’irruzione con i soli corpi speciali e senza i giovani militari di leva in via Montalcini, lamentò, quando fu ascoltato dalla  Commissione Moro sul suo operato, varie lacune e notevoli difficoltà provenienti da agenti dei Servizi segreti, che erano nella Gladio. Pecorelli scrisse su “OP” del 17 ottobre 1979 che Dalla Chiesa aveva scoperto la prigione, ma non era potuto intervenire perché impedito dal potere politico.
Il coinvolgimento del gen. Dalla Chiesa nella vicenda Moro fu confermato ad Imposimato da un ex carabiniere di nome Alfonso Ferrara il 3 settembre 2009, il quale raccontò con amarezza: “[il 7 maggio] arrivammo con altri commilitoni quasi all’androne del palazzo dov’era la prigione di Moro, quando ricevemmo l’ordine di tornare indietro”. Poi in una telefonata del 26 febbraio del 2013 Alfonso Ferrara disse ad Imposimato che l’operazione dell’8 maggio 1978 in via Montalcini 8 era guidata dal gen. Alberto Dalla Chiesa (pp . 254-255).
Dalla Chiesa venne ucciso a Palermo dalla mafia il 3 settembre 1982, ma prima aveva fatto in tempo a dichiarare alla Commissione Moro l’8 luglio 1980 che i militari diretti da lui erano stati costretti a ritirarsi dall’operazione di via Montalcini per non intralciare il lavoro dell’Ucigos, istituito dal Ministro degli Interni Francesco Cossiga  (p. 256).
Cossiga intervistato da Andrea Cangini per la stesura del libro Fotti il potere (Roma, Aliberti, 2010) sul caso Moro ha dichiarato: “La storia è ricca di complotti e il complotto è una forma della politica” (Fotti il potere, cit., p.264).
Mi sembra doveroso, per concludere, citare Benjamin Disraeli[13] che scrisse: “Il mondo è governato da personaggi che neppure immaginiamo se non guardiamo dietro le quinte” (Coningsby, 1844, p. 183).

Il colonnello del Sismi Domenico Cogliandro lo faceva pedinare dai suoi uomini e riferiva tutto a Cossiga sin dal suo arrivo a Roma. Il 23 marzo del 1978 una settimana dopo il rapimento di Moro Sokolov ripartì per Mosca e ritornò a Roma dal 2 aprile al luglio del 1978, quando Moro era stato ucciso l’8 maggio del medesimo anno (cfr.

Il cadavere fu ritrovato dalla sua convivente Maria Antonietta Viali, che lo aspettava di ritorno dal bar con il gelato ed avendolo sentito rientrare dal portone d’ingresso, ma non apparire lo trovò in quello stato. Telefonò ai Carabinieri, ma dopo due minuti si presentarono gli agenti dei Servizi segreti e ne constatarono il “suicidio” confermato dal giudice, che non ordinò la autopsia e archiviò il caso come suicidio.

Cloud storage service and Microsoft spy on us (use UBUNTU)

Revealed: how Microsoft handed the NSA access to encrypted messages

• Secret files show scale of Silicon Valley co-operation on Prism
• Outlook.com encryption unlocked even before official launch
• Skype worked to enable Prism collection of video calls
• Company says it is legally compelled to comply

    Microsoft has collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users' communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company's own encryption, according to top-secret documents obtained by the Guardian.
    The files provided by Edward Snowden illustrate the scale of co-operation between Silicon Valley and the intelligence agencies over the last three years. They also shed new light on the workings of the top-secret Prism program, which was disclosed by the Guardian and the Washington Post last month.
    The documents show that:
    • Microsoft helped the NSA to circumvent its encryption to address concerns that the agency would be unable to intercept web chats on the new Outlook.com portal;
    • The agency already had pre-encryption stage access to email on Outlook.com, including Hotmail;
    • The company worked with the FBI this year to allow the NSA easier access via Prism to its cloud storage service SkyDrive, which now has more than 250 million users worldwide;
    • Microsoft also worked with the FBI's Data Intercept Unit to "understand" potential issues with a feature in Outlook.com that allows users to create email aliases;
    • In July last year, nine months after Microsoft bought Skype, the NSAboasted that a new capability had tripled the amount of Skype video calls being collected through Prism;
    • Material collected through Prism is routinely shared with the FBI and CIA, with one NSA document describing the program as a "team sport".
    The latest NSA revelations further expose the tensions between Silicon Valley and the Obama administration. All the major tech firms are lobbying the government to allow them to disclose more fully the extent and nature of their co-operation with the NSA to meet their customers' privacy concerns. Privately, tech executives are at pains to distance themselves from claims of collaboration and teamwork given by the NSA documents, and insist the process is driven by legal compulsion.
    In a statement, Microsoft said: "When we upgrade or update products we aren't absolved from the need to comply with existing or future lawful demands." The company reiterated its argument that it provides customer data "only in response to government demands and we only ever comply with orders for requests about specific accounts or identifiers".
    In June, the Guardian revealed that the NSA claimed to have "direct access" through the Prism program to the systems of many major internet companies, including Microsoft, Skype, Apple, Google, Facebook and Yahoo.
    Blanket orders from the secret surveillance court allow these communications to be collected without an individual warrant if the NSA operative has a 51% belief that the target is not a US citizen and is not on US soil at the time. Targeting US citizens does require an individual warrant, but the NSA is able to collect Americans' communications without a warrant if the target is a foreign national located overseas.
    Since Prism's existence became public, Microsoft and the other companies listed on the NSA documents as providers have denied all knowledge of the program and insisted that the intelligence agencies do not have back doors into their systems.
    Microsoft's latest marketing campaign, launched in April, emphasizes its commitment to privacy with the slogan: "Your privacy is our priority."
    Similarly, Skype's privacy policy states: "Skype is committed to respecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal data, traffic data and communications content."
    But internal NSA newsletters, marked top secret, suggest the co-operation between the intelligence community and the companies is deep and ongoing.
    The latest documents come from the NSA's Special Source Operations (SSO) division, described by Snowden as the "crown jewel" of the agency. It is responsible for all programs aimed at US communications systems through corporate partnerships such as Prism.
    The files show that the NSA became concerned about the interception of encrypted chats on Microsoft's Outlook.com portal from the moment the company began testing the service in July last year.
    Within five months, the documents explain, Microsoft and the FBI had come up with a solution that allowed the NSA to circumvent encryption on Outlook.com chats
    A newsletter entry dated 26 December 2012 states: "MS [Microsoft], working with the FBI, developed a surveillance capability to deal" with the issue. "These solutions were successfully tested and went live 12 Dec 2012."
    Two months later, in February this year, Microsoft officially launched the Outlook.com portal.
    Another newsletter entry stated that NSA already had pre-encryption access to Outlook email. "For Prism collection against Hotmail, Live, and Outlook.com emails will be unaffected because Prism collects this data prior to encryption."
    Microsoft's co-operation was not limited to Outlook.com. An entry dated 8 April 2013 describes how the company worked "for many months" with the FBI – which acts as the liaison between the intelligence agencies and Silicon Valley on Prism – to allow Prism access without separate authorization to its cloud storage service SkyDrive.
    The document describes how this access "means that analysts will no longer have to make a special request to SSO for this – a process step that many analysts may not have known about".
    The NSA explained that "this new capability will result in a much more complete and timely collection response". It continued: "This success is the result of the FBI working for many months with Microsoft to get this tasking and collection solution established."
    A separate entry identified another area for collaboration. "The FBI Data Intercept Technology Unit (DITU) team is working with Microsoft to understand an additional feature in Outlook.com which allows users to create email aliases, which may affect our tasking processes."
    The NSA has devoted substantial efforts in the last two years to work with Microsoft to ensure increased access to Skype, which has an estimated 663 million global users.
    One document boasts that Prism monitoring of Skype video production has roughly tripled since a new capability was added on 14 July 2012. "The audio portions of these sessions have been processed correctly all along, but without the accompanying video. Now, analysts will have the complete 'picture'," it says.
    Eight months before being bought by Microsoft, Skype joined the Prismprogram in February 2011.
    According to the NSA documents, work had begun on smoothly integrating Skype into Prism in November 2010, but it was not until 4 February 2011 that the company was served with a directive to comply signed by the attorney general.
    The NSA was able to start tasking Skype communications the following day, and collection began on 6 February. "Feedback indicated that a collected Skype call was very clear and the metadata looked complete," the document stated, praising the co-operation between NSA teams and the FBI. "Collaborative teamwork was the key to the successful addition of another provider to the Prism system."
    ACLU technology expert Chris Soghoian said the revelations would surprise many Skype users. "In the past, Skype made affirmative promises to users about their inability to perform wiretaps," he said. "It's hard to square Microsoft's secret collaboration with the NSA with its high-profile efforts to compete on privacy with Google."
    The information the NSA collects from Prism is routinely shared with both the FBI and CIA. A 3 August 2012 newsletter describes how the NSA has recently expanded sharing with the other two agencies.
    The NSA, the entry reveals, has even automated the sharing of aspects of Prism, using software that "enables our partners to see which selectors [search terms] the National Security Agency has tasked to Prism".
    The document continues: "The FBI and CIA then can request a copy of Prism collection of any selector…" As a result, the author notes: "these two activities underscore the point that Prism is a team sport!"
    In its statement to the Guardian, Microsoft said:
    We have clear principles which guide the response across our entire company to government demands for customer information for both law enforcement and national security issues. First, we take our commitments to our customers and to compliance with applicable law very seriously, so we provide customer data only in response to legal processes.
    Second, our compliance team examines all demands very closely, and we reject them if we believe they aren't valid. Third, we only ever comply with orders about specific accounts or identifiers, and we would not respond to the kind of blanket orders discussed in the press over the past few weeks, as the volumes documented in our most recent disclosure clearly illustrate.
    Finally when we upgrade or update products legal obligations may in some circumstances require that we maintain the ability to provide information in response to a law enforcement or national security request. There are aspects of this debate that we wish we were able to discuss more freely. That's why we've argued for additional transparency that would help everyone understand and debate these important issues.
    In a joint statement, Shawn Turner, spokesman for the director of National Intelligence, and Judith Emmel, spokeswoman for the NSA, said:
    The articles describe court-ordered surveillance – and a US company's efforts to comply with these legally mandated requirements. The US operates its programs under a strict oversight regime, with careful monitoring by the courts, Congress and the Director of National Intelligence. Not all countries have equivalent oversight requirements to protect civil liberties and privacy.
    They added: "In practice, US companies put energy, focus and commitment into consistently protecting the privacy of their customers around the world, while meeting their obligations under the laws of the US and other countries in which they operate."
    • This article was amended on 11 July 2013 to reflect information from Microsoft that it did not make any changes to Skype to allow Prism collection on or around July 2012

    ISRAEL - CURSE OF

    www.barrychamish.com

                                                                                                            ISRAEL - CURSE OF THE JEWS
                                                                                                                          by Barry Chamish

                In mid-June, 2013, the Israeli President Shimon Peres, threw himself a lavish tax-payer funded birthday bash. In the midst of the festivities, the Rabbi he effectively murdered, Uzi Meshulum, passed away. To him I say, Zichron L'Brecha, Rest In Peace. For a time, I knew him quite well: 

               In 1995, my revelations about the Rabin murder had made headlines in Israel and the leaders of the Yemenite Children's movement asked me to investigate their cause. Their movement's leader, Rabbi Uzi Meshulum was arrested and they feared for his life.
               Who could blame them? Meshulum's arrest had already caused one murder. To get the rabbi into prison, the Israeli authorities surrounded his home and placed him and several dozen of his congregants under siege. Nearly 2000 police and Shabak officers arrived at his home in Yehud and they were backed up by helicopters and dogs. But it was the snipers who were assigned to wipe out the rabbi, his family and his congregation.
                One unarmed congregant, Shlomi Asoulin was shot by a sniper. He was taken to police lines where he was allowed to bleed to death. Then Rabbi Meshulum's house was shot up. I counted fifty bullet holes in his living room walls and then stopped. I got the message. The state tried to mass-execute him, his wife, children and young followers.
                In 1996, Rabbi Meshulum asked to meet me. I travelled with his wife to Sharon Prison, walked through a maze of sinking corridors until I reached his compound. We shook hands, and he had a powerful grip. We spoke of many things but I wanted to know the big truth from the source: why hadn't he united the kidnapped children with their biological parents? He then blasted the music on his portable tape machine and explained that he didn't have the heart to tell the parents that the majority of their children were dead, murdered in atomic experiments, most shipped first to America in cages. Then he revealed the reason for his repression: the founder of the Israeli atomic research program was Shimon Peres and if the truth came out, he would be exposed for his role in the atrocities.
                He told me why he wanted this meeting. The Shifris family had assumed control of his movement and he was now certain that they were Shabak infiltrators destroying his movement from within. He wanted me to take over as spokesman.
                I accepted, but Ora Shifris would have nothing to do with it. The Yemenite people are innately modest and mild-mannered. I had my advocates but none could find the wherewithal to stand up to the feisty Ashkenazi lady who had shanghaied their fight for justice.
                Besides Ora, the Shifris family boasted her husband and son, both Hebrew University academicians. The imprisoned followers of Rabbi Meshulum included the son, who was suspected of being a snitch even while incarcerated.
                But, give the family credit for a remarkable show. It was Ora who showed me the photos of the cages in which the Yemenite infants were flown to America. And it was she who showed me the scarred bodies of the survivors of the experiments which she claimed took place at the Biological Institute in Ness Tziona.
                In 1998, Rabbi Meshulum was released a vegetable. Depending on who tells it, he was given a lobotomy, or injected with mind-crippling drugs. Either way, he was now a zombi. His campaign for truth was over. 

            Earlier this year, Bar Ilan University held a conference on the 4500 missing Yemenite infants. If your server picks up Hebrew, read the minutes of the conference. If not, or possibly you don't even read Hebrew, allow me to translate: "The featured speaker, Dr. Dov Levitan, will expose the efforts of President Shimon Peres to prevent an official investigation of the Yemenite children issue." Of course he did. He didn't want to be unveiled as a mass murderer of innocent Jewish children.

    הנואם העיקרי יהיה ד"ר דב לויטן שצפוי לדבר על הניסיון של הנשיא
    שמעון פרס למנוע את החקירה
         Israel wanted an atomic bomb and Atomic Energy Commissioner Peres would get them it. And he had a powerful payoff for the Americans who could provide the secrets: A whole people to use as guinea pigs. Not just the Yemenite children but all Sephardic children.
     
        The Ringworm Children -  Watch the film at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMp1tef4lg4 if you don't, won't, or can't believe me. To get American nuclear technology, the chairman of Israel's Atomic Energy Commission in the early '50s, Shimon Peres, concocted an atrocity where every single Sephardic child, 115,000 in total, had his brain blasted with massive amounts of x-rays just to gauge the effect. 6,000 died within a year, thousands were crippled for the rest of their lives.

         Now imagine you're a Jew from the Middle East who hasn't even heard of Labor Zionism. Suddenly your country persecutes Jews and it's too dangerous to stay there anymore. But for some reason, your leader allows Israeli planes to land in his country to take you away to the foreign nation of Israel. Why did he? Perhaps because he seized all your assets with impunity. That was the bargain made with the devil. When you disembarked without Hebrew your new Jewish leaders took advantage of your lack of worldliness by kidnapping your babies and telling you, too bad they died. Tough luck darkie.
         But at least, you're alive. Crippled, disabled but alive. But that's better than Europe's Jews suffered at the connivances of Labor Zionism. They're mostly dead:

    The Transfer Agreement - The Labor Zionists cut a deal called The Transfer Agreement in which the Nazis agreed to ban all German Jewish parties but Labor Zionism in return for a massive no boycott of the Nazis after. Read the excellent book by Edwin Black before you mock the accusation. Without Labor Zionism, there would not have been the Holocaust as we know it.
           Look what the head of Labor Zionists and thus world Jewry, Chaim Weizmann, said before the Holocaust began:
    "I told the British Royal Commission, Weizmann is quoted (on pages 19-20) by Hecht as telling the Zionist Congress in 1937,
    that the hopes of Europe's six million Jews were centered on emigration. I was asked "Can you bring six million Jews to Palestine?" I replied, "No" ... The old ones will pass... they were dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world...
           Or, so sorry. Only those Jews who disembark in Palestine get to survive. The other 4 million, they're of no use to us and thus are "dust."
                 In 1933, while Jabotinsky led a worldwide economic boycott of Nazi
    Germany, Ben Gurion sent his buddy Arlozoroff to Germany to broker a deal
    known as The Transfer Agreement. ( from Edwin Black's book by the same title). In
    return for the Nazis expelling their Jews to Palestine, Ben Gurion and his
    coterie agreed to use their assets to support the Nazi regime in the face
    of the international boycott.

          Before 1933, maybe 2% of German Jews were Zionist. From 1934 the only legal German Jewish organization was Labor Zionism. They had camps to train lawyers, doctors, professors et al to be farmers. Then the new blue-eyed seed stock Jews were shipped to kibbutzim in Israel for a life of hedonism, soldiering and fun in the sun. 80,000 made it out before the borders of Palestine were closed and the Holocaust began in efficient earnest.
          Israel is founded on myths and legends. Without the curse of Israel the Sephardim would not have been uprooted and their children used as lab rats. The Ashkenazim could have effectively fought Naziism, the Holocaust could have been resisted or even stopped. What has to be understood, no matter how it flies in the face of your reality, is that Israel's Labor Zionist founders, Weizmann, Ben Gurion, Dayan, Golda Meir, Peres, all of them, were antisemitic thugs. They intended to wipe out the Jewish religion and start a new Judaism, but they failed. The Oslo "Peace" Accord was just another in a long hit list against religious Judaism. And as damaging as it was, Israel has adopted traditional Judaism and clearly rejected the Labor Zionist "dream."
          And now Israel faces a real threat of a new Holocaust...any day now. From a source I've accepted as knowledgeable:

     Some few know what is coming in the days ahead, some others don't . . . . .  Many "prefer" not to accept things as they are, so dream up what ever they want to justify their preferences and desires ie.self delusional. The current state of muslim preparedness is that they have about 65,000 multiple rockets with launchers, plus rockets that don't work with launchers.  Each launcher takes about 40 minutes to setup to fire after its previous firing of several rockets each.  Thus Israel could be subject to over 100,000 incoming muslim rockets per hour, up to their total inventory of about 200,000.  The Israel military has been saying that they can not deal with more than 50,000 incoming rockets.

         Ask yourself; given a choice, what Jew would chose Israel over No Holocaust? The damnation that is Israel is on the precipice of another ghastly Holocaust. If the Shi'ites of Syria and Lebanon have nothing to lose, they may try changing directions in their conflict by blowing Israel to smithereens. And Israel's Labor Zionists realizing their experiment has failed, will take care of themselves while watching the other Jews perish.

    My Rabin lecture in Hebrew: Some people, I'm told, had to copy and paste this to open it:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOYpkCP1WNM

    We are not going entirely unnoticed. Have a look at another site affected by my last article: Unhappy 90th to Israeli President Shimon Peres.

    http://esseragaroth.blogspot.co.il/2013/06/happy-90th-birthday-shimon-peres.html


    Happy 90th Birthday, Shimon Peres!






    OMG! Babs came to Shimeleh's Birthday Bash!
    Mike Myers as "Linda Richman" on SNL, fawning over Babs
    *Creative text inserted by Esser Agaroth (2¢)
    "Singer [Streisand] criticizes ultra-Orthodox attitudes to women before scheduled performance at Israeli president's 90th birthday gala."

    Shimon Peres's Birthday extravaganza wasn't political, eh?

    That was just one of Babs quips, thus far during her tour of Israel. One friend commented that, "See? Every Jewish celebrity likes Israel, deep down inside."

    To which I responded, "Barbra Streisand loves Shimon Peres. That's hardly the same thing."

    I even heard that Sharon Stone, also in attendance, is involved with a "peace" organization which insists that Arabs recognize Israel's right to exist.

    How nice of her! (eyes rolling) But, no, she did not cross nor uncross here legs. Rabbi David Stav, FORMER candidate for Israeli Chief Rabbi apparently made a point of not being on stage with her at the same time (Jameel @ The Muqata). What he was doing there, fawning over Peres in the first place, that's what I would like to know!

    Nevertheless, co-dependents may commence slobbering over Sharon Stone now.

    So, basically, if you throw in a not-so-hidden political agenda (carving up Eretz Yisra'el, throwing huge pieces to the dogs, and encouraging the assimilation of Jews into Western, secular "progressive," elitist culture). then you have one big Hollywood party, transported to Israel. With or without the cocaine supplied in the second soap dish in the bathrooms, I cannot say.

    Of course, that's just gross speculation on my part. And, I am sure that I have absolutely no proof whatsoever that this is the case (eyes turned upwards).

    So, much for the a-political, symbolic role of Israel's President! Actually, that went out the window when Peres was first elected to the position. The fact that most every Israeli is in deep denial about it, only makes the situation all the more,...disturbing.

    "Loser?" Interesting choice of words, don't you think? Peres has been referred as such more than a handful of times. Actually, it is said that the previous Gerer Rebbe cursed Shimon Peres with the following:

    "He will always find water, but never be able to drink it."
    Peres then proceeded to lose his next three (or more?) elections. How was the curse was broken? I do not know, but perhaps former President Moshe Katzav, who narrowly beat Peres for the Presidency in 2000, 63-57, and was forced out of office before the end of his term, due to accusations of sexual misconduct and worse, may be able to tell us. Just a suggestion...

    Wikipedia: In 2003, on a visit to Italy, he [President Katzav] demanded that the Vatican restore treasures allegedly brought to Rome after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

    I guess he fell on the wrong side, from those who are chummy-chummy with The Vatican (A-hem!), or rather, the right side. But, that couldn't have anything to do with his being deposed, could it? Hmm...

    But, I digress...

    If you want the best low down on Shimon Peres's Birthday Partée, then read Varda Epstein's account, When You Don't Like The Birthday Boy (Times Of Israel).

    ...Why don’t I like Shimon Peres, you might ask? It’s this: he has Jewish blood on his hands....

    That was just a snippet. But, I am sure you can see why I encourage you read the entire piece.

    And what has Shimon Peres been up to lately?

    Franciscans Honor Shimon Peres  (Veterans Today)
    Israeli President Shimon Peres visited Italy for 3 days in early May, 2013. His visit was a predictable betrayal of the Jews, beginning with his new Franciscan “peace” award:”

    Barry Chamish

    ...The mayor of Assisi, where hundreds of Franciscan monks live, will present its first-ever Medal of Honor for Peace to President Peres for his “unique contribution to dialogue and the cause of peace.” At the ceremony he will receive the Medal of Honor for Peace and will be greeted by “hundreds of Franciscan monks” at the central Basilica, according to an official statement.

    Those who know Peres acknowledge his, honestly, psychopathic need for medals and awards, to the point of bribing the Nobel committee for a prize:


    Hmm... Oslo Accords? Nobel Peace Prize awarded in Oslo?
    A possible connection?
    Last week, Yoav Yitzhak, in the wide circulation newspaper Maariv, revealed that Peres gave Terje Larsen, the UN Middle East representative, $100,000 to secure him a Nobel Prize. This week, David Bedein, writing in Makor Rishon, applied the coup de grace. He interviewed a member of the Nobel Prize Committee, Kaare Kristiansen, who not just confirmed the bribe but described Larsen’s pressure on the committee in full detail.

    But accepting made up accolades from the Franciscans is utterly insulting to anyone with a modicum of understanding of recent Jewish history....


    President Peres receives a gift from Pope Francis I
    (avodah zarah blacked out)
    The Vatican, April, 2013
    ...No sooner had Bergoglio taken office, than Peres invited the new pope to visit Israel, asking him to contribute to peace as a spiritual, rather than a political, leader. He’ll be a welcome guest in the Holy Land, as a man of inspiration who can add to the attempt to bring peace in a stormy area,” Peres said.”All people here, without exception, without difference of religion or nationality, will welcome the newly elected pope...” (All people? I guess that doesn't count me, or any other sane Torah-observant, non-co-dependent Jew. Maybe Peres cant show the Poop his new "seat," along with the various other pieces of Jerusalem he now possesses.)

    Now why would Peres offer such a deceitful invitation? Could it be because:

    Peres Raises ‘World Capital’ Solution for Jerusalem JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Shimon Peres, the head of Israel’s opposition Labor Party, has suggested resolving Israeli-Palestinian conflict over Jerusalem by putting its holy sites under U.N. stewardship, a spokesman said Tuesday.

    His plan calls for declaring a holy area of sites sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims in Jerusalem’s old walled city as a “world capital,” with the U.N. Secretary-General serving as mayor. (What did I tell you? Carving up pieces?)

    To those who understand the perfidy of the Israeli President, they recall his royal welcome to the previous Nazi pope:


    Israeli President Shimon Peres appears to be hypnotizing Pope Benedict XVI.
    Francis’s predecessor Benedict XVI visited the Holy Land and met Peres in 2009. CARDINAL RATZINGER WAS THE “PREFECT OF THE CONGREGATION”, THAT IS, THE CHIEF INQUISITOR.


    Ratzinger = Rat + Singer
    In a remarkable coverup, the fact that nazi youth member Yosef Ratzinger voluntarily joined the Wehrmacht and willingly risked his life for Hitler, somehow escaped the notice of the truly dumbed-down Israeli people, except for an outraged Dr. Daisy Stern...

    My only regret regarding this article is that I cannot post all of it. I highly recommend clicking on the Veterans Today link to read it in its entirety.


    Peres with pal, terrorist and murderer of Jews, Arafat
    Peres to Claim ‘Overwhelming Majority’ Favor 1949 Border (Arutz 7)
    President Peres reportedly plans to tell Arab leaders that most Israelis favor a return to 1949-1967 borders.

    If this is not the big fat lie that it certainly appears to be, then someone was playing around with the statistics, and including Arabs in the group he calls "Israelis." Fortunately, one MK appears to have at least a margin of sanity....

    Minister Landau: 1967 borders are 'Auschwitz borders' (YNET)
    During Cabinet meeting focusing on Kerry's efforts to jump start peace talks, tourism minister repeats Abba Eban's famous statement regarding possible Israeli withdrawal from West Bank. Minister Peretz: Any peace deal would involve land swaps (Is Peretz really still around? Oy!)

    Hmm...may more than one MK has the ability to access some sanity. He is also one of the MK's who has bothered to read Israel's Basic Law, including the part about the Israeli President being a predominantly SYMBOLIC role....

    Steinitz: Peres is Not a Spokesman for the Government (Arutz 7)
    President Peres does not represent the Israeli government's views when he calls to resume peace talks, notes Minister Yuval Steinitz.
    Of course, Shimon Peres doesn't really believe in peace; he believes in "piece."
    Shimon Peres does not believe in anything close to this, quite the opposite in fact.

    Ask these people, and their families, about the Oslo [Death] Accords:


    Click the image to see the faces of all those killed since Oslo.
    And, who could forget this infamous video, after losing re-election as Prime Minister to Binyamin Netanyahu in the 1996?

    Sorry, no video. It has mysteriously disappeared. How 'bout that? If anyone finds this clip, please contact me. It is truly a classic!

    Anyway, I found the quote on Binyamin Netanyahu's Hebrew Wikipedia page (conspicuously absent from Shimon Peres's Wikipedia page). The incident went down, something like this:

    Losing against Netanyahu, Shimon Peres responds to a journalist's question after the elections: 
    Journalist: "Who lost?"
    Peres: "The Israelis."
    Jounalist: "[So], who won?"
    Peres: "The Jews"
    So, in other words, in Shimon Peres's mind, there is a difference between "Israelis" and "Jews."

    I guess that means that there are those who have a long, or even very long, way to go to being indoctrinated into the "carving up Eretz Yisra'el, throwing huge pieces to the dogs, and assimilating into Western, secular, "progressive," elitist culture," and those who have a very short way to go, if they aren't already there.
