    Anyone want to make any bets now on how long the Defense Intelligence Agency inside the pentagon will still have funding?

      That’s pretty much what happened with USAID. Their reports kept mentioning how Israel was blocking aid trucks and shooting at civilians. The director said that Israel was in breach of the Leahy law. Biden admin censored them and pulled the operations out of Palestine. Trump came in and completely dismantled it.

    The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”

    The designation stems from concerns within the Pentagon that Israel is making a particular effort to surveil top U.S. officials to get information on the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and decision-making on the conflicts in the Middle East, the officials said.

    Israel has never not spied on enemies and allies alike.

        What would the USA be in this scenario. Never forget the USS Liberty and remember that is was Israeli secret services that presented the “evidence of WMDs” to the GW Bush administration that got the USA embroiled in the Iraq war.

    I suppose having the Commander in Chief fully compromised by Israeli intelligence blackmail material is a pretty high espionage threat, yeah.

    Must mean the levels are pointless, because the US will never stop supporting Israel, that’s a law of nature by now and i trust it more than political claims

      The USA will collapse before either of these things occur:

      • not supporting Israeli expansionism
      • taxing rich people

      Those are the absolute red lines, the people who run the country will pull it down before they let either of those happen.

    And the solution somehow would be to merge the military and intelligence apparati of the two countries. The US of A would become Israel’s 2nd to 51st states.

      Israel would never accept Americans as citizens in a federation-- even one they utterly control. It’ll be a colonialism/vassal state system where the US gets to be the one that gets it resources and wealth extracted. We’re arguably already in it.

      And all of congress. And the interests which fund our political system. And the Vichy voters in our political systems who would rather collaborate than fight, as long as their local mcdonalds stays open and their pickleball privileges protected.

    When Israeli spies are caught, tried in a just court and convicted, they should face a punishment of execution, publicly. The massive damage to the globe that their spying does–like when they stole all the nuclear material from the US to build their nukes, merits that punishment and more. Its a clear act of war against the US.

    Heres background on Israeli theft of the materials. If you are curious you can google the Numec affair, also known as the Apollo affair.

    Man, imagine being the person at the Pentagon or the FBI in charge of stopping the Israelis from messing with American affairs. Talk about a Sisyphean task.

    Israel isn’t happy with 95% of the military information we share with them so they want to steal the last 5%.

    That pariah nation needs some fucking comeuppance for what they’ve done to our country.

    Spying? Everybody already knows all our secrets. It isn’t even hard. Just tell Trump you’ll pay him, and he’ll tell you whatever you want to know. I’m sure all the rest of them are selling everything, too. America is totally for sale, and EVERYBODY knows it.
