Did the Israeli Lobby Stage a
Coup Against the Director of the
CIA?
New York Times Hints that the
Downfall of Petraeus was
Politically-Motivated
By Michael Hoffman
Motives Questioned in F.B.I.
Inquiry of Petraeus E-Mails
By Scott Shane And Charlie
Savage
WASHINGTON — Is a string of
angry e-mails really enough, in
an age of boisterous online
exchanges, to persuade the
F.B.I. to open a cyberstalking
investigation?
...e-mails sent anonymously to
Jill Kelley...prompted the
F.B.I. office in Tampa, Fla., to
begin an investigation last
June....The inquiry traced the
e-mails to Mr. Petraeus’s
biographer, Paula Broadwell
...Some commentators have
questioned whether the bureau
would ordinarily investigate a
citizen complaint about unwanted
e-mails, suggesting that there
must have been a hidden motive,
possibly political, to take
action.
...Ms. Kelley, a volunteer with
wounded veterans and military
families, brought her complaint
to a rank-and-file agent she
knew from a previous encounter
with the F.B.I. office... Ms.
Kelly was fairly prominent in
Tampa social circles and had
previously had dealings with the
F.B.I. agent who took her
complaint...That agent, who had
previously pursued a friendship
with Ms. Kelley and had earlier
sent her shirtless photographs
of himself, was “just a conduit”
for the complaint, a law
enforcement official said. He
had no training in cybercrime,
was not part of the cyber squad
handling the case and was never
assigned to the
investigation...But the agent,
who was not identified,
continued to “nose around” about
the case...
Later, the agent became
convinced — incorrectly,
officials say — that the case
had stalled. Because of his
“worldview,” as the official put
it, he suspected a politically
motivated cover-up to protect
President Obama. The agent
alerted Eric Cantor, the House
majority leader, who called the
F.B.I. director, Robert S.
Mueller III, on Oct. 31 to tell
him of the agent’s concerns. The
official said the agent’s
self-described “whistle-blowing”
was “a little embarrassing” but
had no effect on the
investigation. (End quote
from the New York Times online).
There’s definitely a hint in the
preceding report by the New York
Times that Jill Kelley invites
erotic responses from male FBI
agents, one of whom was an asset
of a powerful Israeli lobbyist,
Republican Rep. Eric Cantor. On
his own initiative this
“shirtless” agent reported the
case to Cantor. The New York
Times does not say if this FBI
agent breeched security by doing
so.
Eric Cantor said “an F.B.I.
employee whom his staff
described as a whistle-blower
told him about Mr. Petraeus's
affair and a possible security
breach in late October... 'I was
contacted by an F.B.I. employee
concerned that sensitive,
classified information may have
been compromised and made
certain (FBI) Director Mueller
was aware of these serious
allegations and the potential
risk to our national security,'
Mr. Cantor said in a statement.”
(New York Times online, Nov.
11).
One wonders if Petraeus was set
up, like Mordechai Vanunu; only
in this case Broadwell may have
been a patsy: “On Monday night,
F.B.I. agents went to Ms.
Broadwell’s home in Charlotte,
N.C., and were seen carrying
away what several reporters at
the scene said were boxes of
documents. A law enforcement
official said Ms. Broadwell had
consented to the search” (NY
Times online, Nov. 12).
Her surrender of documents from
her house without a search
warrant would appall any
competent defense attorney. It
is the action of a scapegoat, or
a person under some type of
duress or mind control.
In
2010, General Petraeus fingered
the Israeli-Palestine conflict
as making life difficult for US
troops in the Middle East and
Afghanistan. His assessment
violated the Israeli lobby’s
sacred taboo against any such
linkage:
“In March 2010, when Petraeus
was still head of the US Central
Command, he gave testimony to
the Senate Armed Services
Committee which included this
observation about one of the
“challenges to security and
stability” faced by the United
States:
"The
enduring hostilities between
Israel and some of its neighbors
present distinct challenges to
our ability to advance our
interests in the AOR [Area of
Operations]. Israeli-Palestinian
tensions often flare into
violence and large-scale armed
confrontations. The conflict
foments anti-American sentiment,
due to a perception of U.S.
favoritism for Israel. Arab
anger over the Palestinian
question limits the strength and
depth of U.S. partnerships with
governments and peoples in the
AOR and weakens the legitimacy
of moderate regimes in the Arab
world...’
“Abraham Foxman, National
Director of the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) was so alarmed he
issued a statement condemning
Petraeus’ testimony, asserting
in part of it: ‘Gen. Petraeus
has simply erred in linking the
challenges faced by the U.S. and
coalition forces in the region
to a solution of the
Israeli-Arab conflict, and
blaming extremist activities on
the absence of peace and the
perceived U.S. favoritism for
Israel. This linkage is
dangerous and
counterproductive.’
“....Obama appointed Petraeus as
CIA director after he
made his Senate statement about
Israel.” (Source: “When former
CIA chief David Petraeus enraged
the Israel lobby”
http://electronicintifada.net/)
In this writer’s opinion, the
Petraeus sex scandal may have
been intended to break during
the presidential election
campaign to embarrass Obama and
cost him votes. The fact that it
became public only after Nov. 6
shows that Obama’s forces inside
the Cryptocracy successfully
kept it under cover, and that’s
some feat.
Nonetheless, there is a
thinly-veiled message here for
the President of the United
States from the wing of the
Cryptocracy which opposes him:
we can bring you down too, if
you don’t get on the Israeli bus
and do the bidding of the necon
war lobby, at least to the
extent that your base will
permit.
Of course, Petraeus should not
have committed adultery. It is
certainly gravely wrong. A man
who will betray his wife will
betray his country. But there
are hundreds of high-level
adulterers, to say nothing of
thousands of practicing
sodomites, working in La
Cesspool Grande (Washington
D.C.), who fornicate and
sodomize with impunity. When one
among this legion is singled out
it is prudent to ask why.
Observe that the Zionist New
York Times is subtly hinting at
a possible conspiracy against
Petraeus. By this means they
display to the world the
intimidating power of The Lobby.
They don’t mind suggesting that
Petraeus was deposed by hidden
forces, knowing that informed
observers are aware that
Petraeus bucked the Israelis at
one point in his career, and
that’s all it takes for the axe
to fall.
Unless serious investigative
reporting and Congressional
hearings dig up the conspirators
behind this honey trap, we see
in the Petraeus scandal a case
of the Israeli lobby flexing its
muscle on the national stage.
The warning to Obama and his
allies is unmistakable: pay and
obey -- or else. It’s the old
mobster’s dictum and that’s who
Petraeus and company are dealing
with -- hoodlum grandees with
the power to ruin the director
of America’s Central
Intelligence Agency.
Think about the kind of clout
this represents and then ask
yourself, does anyone in gentile
America have the power to depose
the director of Mossad? Not
bloody likely.
Petraeus was brought down in a
coup d’etat. He is
fortunate it happened like this,
rather than in that other
classic gangland sendoff, the
arranged “accident” -- the
chemically-induced heart attack;
the automobile with “defective”
brakes that sails off a cliff,
or a strategic shove, like the
one that led to the
defenestration of Secretary of
Defense James Forrestal in 1949.
