The History of Israeli Spying: The Mother of all Scandals
What Really Happened
Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:03 CST
Print
Once again, Israel has been caught with spies at the highest levels of the US Government.
At the heart of the investigation are two people who work at The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington. The FBI investigation, headed up by Dave Szady, has involved wiretaps, undercover surveillance and photography that CBS News was told document the passing of classified information from the mole, to the men at AIPAC, and on to the Israelis.
CBS sources say that last year the suspected spy, described as a trusted analyst at the Pentagon, turned over a presidential directive on U.S. policy toward Iran while it was, "in the draft phase when U.S. policy-makers were still debating the policy." This put the Israelis, according to one source, "inside the decision-making loop" so they could "try to influence the outcome." [CBS News]
Once again Israel denies wrongdoing, or faced with incontrovertible evidence (in this case one of the spies has reportedly cooperated with the FBI) dismisses the spying with the claim that such spying is harmless, because Israel and the United States are such good friends.

We are being lied too as Israel kicks off WWIII. I love the following

machine.... "We are the vocal minority of the silent majority. We do
not forgive. We do not forget. Expect Us, For We Are Anonymous"
it
can be inferred that dissolved radiocesium advected southward from the
region adjacent to the 1FNPP and was deposited to the sediment of the
study area in the early stage after the accident. The incorporation of
radiocesium into se
diments was almost
irreversible, and higher concentrations of 137Cs were obtained from the
finer-grained fraction of sediments. [...]
137Cs levels in
sediment decreased considerably between June and August, and then
remained at the same level until January 2012. This trend indicates that
the initial deposition of 137Cs to the sediment had almost ceased by
August, and that the incorporation of 137Cs into sediments was almost
irreversible. [...]
In conclusion [...] it can also be
inferred that the remarkable decrease in 137Cs level between June and
August 2011 (Table 3) was not caused by dissolution of labile 137Cs but
by a physical transport (export) of irreversibly bound 137Cs.
[...] Most of radiocesium in the coastal sediments is incorporated
into lithogenic fractions, and this incorporation is almost
irreversible. Accordingly, the biological availability of sedimentary
radiocesium is relatively low, but continuous monitoring of radiocesium
inmarine biota is highly recommended because significant amounts of
radiocesium have been accumulated in the sediment. http://enenews.com/japan-experts-contamination-is-almost-irreversible-in-coastal-sediments

World Ocean Currents to shift in less than....
=
The real possibility that the world ocean currents
stop circulating for a few months or even a year while it re-routes
itself is very real. Here's the kicker...It could well happen within the
next 15 yrs.
25 November 1999
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/535289.stm
Scientists have found evidence that the Atlantic Ocean current which gives Europe its mild climate is being disrupted.
If it stopped, then the temperatures in western Europe would plunge by five degrees Celsius, creating bitter winters.

When I was cataloging the information from Florida Oil Spill Law 2 1/2 years ago, I recall seeing one article in which an Italian scientist said it seemed as if the Atlantic Conveyor from the Gulf of Mexico had stopped more or less in concert with the oiling of the Gulf of Mexico.

between the communities south of La. 70 on property leased by Texas
Brine from Occidental Chemical Corp.
Boudreaux provided estimates showing the three vent wells had released 558,000 cubic feet of gas through Friday morning.
An investigatory well that the Office of Conservation ordered Texas Brine to drill months ago to peer inside its failed cavern has burned another 598,000 cubic feet of gas through early Friday.
Combined with the three vent wells, the four wells have removed nearly 1.2 million cubic feet of gas, the figures show.
By comparison, a gas release in late 2003 into the subsurface near the Grand Bayou community from a storage cavern inside the salt dome prompted the eventual installation of 36 vent wells. They removed 375 million cubic feet of gas before they were shut down in 2004, Office of Conservation officials have said.
