Israelis Win Contract To Secure US Borders

By Christopher Bollyn American Free Press 10-5-6

On Sept. 21, Michael Chertoff, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced that a consortium headed by the Chicago-based Boeing Company had won a multi-billion dollar contract to install sensors and radar along the U.S. border. The deal, the first part of a multibillion-dollar government plan designed to reduce illegal entry along the Canadian and Mexican borders calls for cameras, sensors and even unmanned planes.

When Chertoff was asked why DHS had chosen the Boeing-led group he declined to comment. The reason for Chertoff's silence, however, is telling: the Boeing team includes an Israeli military subcontractor which will play a key role in "securing" the U.S. border.

Of interest is the fact that Chertoff's Israeli mother played a key role in creating that country in its infancy.

The Boeing team, which will implement the DHS program called the Secure Border Initiative (SBI) along the northern and southern borders of the United States, includes a Merrimack, N.H.-based surveillance technology firm called Kollsman Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd. of Haifa, Israel.

The Israeli-American team includes Unisys Corp., DRS Technologies Inc., L-3 Communications Holdings Inc., Lucent Technologies Inc., Perot Systems Corp. and the Israeli-owned Kollsman, which makes the thermo-imaging cameras used to monitor Israel's borders.

As Chertoff announced the awarding of the contract, estimated to be worth some $2.5 billion, he was giving a very lucrative and sensitive contract to an Israeli company with close ties to the Israeli military. The contract reportedly does not have a set value. Payments will be announced as parts for the system are ordered.

The work will be done in phases, with the first piece being a 28-mile stretch near Tucson, Ariz., Chertoff said. This first phase will cost $67 million, he said. Boeing's proposal includes some 1,800 towers along the borders with cameras developed by Israel's Elbit Systems Ltd. which can reportedly spot people up to 9 miles away.

Elbit Systems says it is "the prime contractor and systems integrator for the Israel Police Border Control System, a computerized system for registration and control deployed at every Israeli border crossing.

"Elbit Systems has developed and integrated multi-layered solutions incorporating cutting-edge biometrics, optical ID and RFID [radio frequency identification] technologies. Our perimeter security solutions have also been adapted for energy infrastructures and offshore installations," the company's web site says.

"We are looking at a technology that is advanced and can pick a face in the crowd," Wayne Esser, capture team leader of the Boeing team, told Washington Technology.

Elbit provides Israel's military with a border security surveillance system with integrated sensors, radars, a "smart fence" and cameras.

TIES TO ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE

Kollsman is not the only player on the Boeing team with ties to Israeli military intelligence. As AFP has reported previously, Unisys Corp., chaired by Lawrence A. Weinbach, has integrated Israeli security software into the computer products it sells to the U.S. government and other clients. Software from Check Point Software Technologies of Ramat Gan, Israel, for example, is integrated into Unisys products.

Elbit Systems is directed by a high-level board that is comprised of former Israeli major generals, colonels, ambassadors, and former chiefs of Israel's largest banks and companies. The company's only non-Israeli director on its board of 18 members is Timothy Taylor, the British-born president and CEO of Elbit Systems of America. Taylor speaks to the U.S. media for the Israeli-owned company while the former Israeli fighter pilots and generals run the company from Haifa.

SBI is a Chertoff initiative that is meant to be "a comprehensive plan to control our borders and stem the flow of illegal immigration. "What we are looking to do is build a virtual fence," Chertoff said. "We want to know when anybody or anything is crossing the border."

While the Israeli press was quick to report that an Israeli company was part of the SBI border security program, Chertoff failed to mention it. "Elbit System's subsidiary Kollsman announced it would supply technology to identify threats, deter and prevent crossings, and apprehend intruders along U.S. borders," Israeli daily Ha'aretz reported.

Huntleigh U.S.A., another Israeli-owned security company, provided passenger screening at Boston's Logan Airport on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Huntleigh, which is wholly owned by the Israeli company International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS) apparently failed to intercept the Arab terrorists who hijacked the two planes that hit the World Trade Center, according to the government version. Now, the same administration that failed to stop the terror attacks of 9-11 is hiring an Israeli-owned company to help protect the entire U.S. land border.

Christopher Bollyn is a much-traveled international journalist currently based in Chicago, serving as Midwest bureau chief for American Free Press. He has written extensively on a wide variety of subjects including the controversy surrounding computerized voting systems, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the many unanswered questions surrounding the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

Lest we forget - Israeli security companies had the contracts for the security at the airports where the alleged 'Arab terrorists' were allowed to pass through to board the 911 flights. -ed Subscribe to *US is Proxy State For Israel*

America first isn't outdated. It just depends on what you mean by "America". If you mean the federal government, the Beltway elite families that swirl around it and trade positions back and forth between it and the attendent parasite firms of the MIC that wouldn't exist but for federal spending- then their policies of constant never ending war and increased government power to protect them and oppress and tax the rest of the America then indeed- that is "America" first. If by "America" you mean 98 percent of the population- then no- it is America last.

Ditto to all the previous comments.

Can you believe this nonsense? This is funnier ( in a tragic sort of way) than an Onion article. Well, heck, since the Israelis control our politicians' communications systems, and our foreign policy , why not the symbol of our nation's sovereignity (borders) too? Wow, pinch me to wake me up, when this nightmare called Israeli influence over our nation is over.

I wonder if this was another of Kissinger's ideas. He's 83 and the last time his war advice was taken was when he told Nixon not to withdraw any troops. That people would learn to like it like "salted peanuts". I doubt if his advice ages like wine.

Kind of a deceptive headline. I'm a lot more worried about Israel's influence on congress and the Senate and being able to place spies in the Pentagon seemingly at will. Some company making thermal imaging cameras hardly qualifies as securing our borders. Israel has a lot of great high-tech stuff. Most of which you and I paid to develop.

One little-noted event is the rise of the Israeli Mafia, which is akin to the Russian mafiya in that both hired a bunch of unemployed Russian rocket scientists. The Israelis, among other specialties, are REALLY good at encryption. Or rather, cracking encryption. Half the major credit card scams are run out of Israel, and they've also gotten very good at corporate espionage...and probably cracking defense contractor data. Which is then sold to Israel or to anyone else interested.

This goes way beyond cracking kneecaps for not paying back a loan on time. It's a genuine threat to our security, but they're sheltered because the Israeli govt. wants first crack at whatever they manage to steal. And probably pay for it out of the billions we send them for military aid.

Israelis Win Contract To Secure US Borders

“Tochnit Norfolk” attracts targeted Israeli companies to Hampton Roads

“Tochnit Norfolk” attracts targeted Israeli companies to Hampton Roads Phase 1: May 3-20 in Israel; Phase 2: June 6-8 in Norfolk, Virginia http://ww.viab.org/np/np.pdf

Until now, Israeli companies may have thought that “Hampton Roads” was only a cover on a Beatles album. But that changed dramatically on April 14 when the Mayor of Norfolk, Paul Fraim, along with Haifa Mayor Yahav, signed a cooperation agreement between Haifa and Norfolk at a ceremony in Haifa. After the signing, Mayor Fraim announced the first cooperative agreement: Tochnit Norfolk, which will connect selected Israeli companies with potential business partners and investors in Norfolk and the entire Hampton Roads region.

According to Mayor Fraim, "Norfolk is a leading center of marine industry in the United States that boasts the world's largest U.S. naval base," Fraim commented. "Consequently, it has emerged as a growing complex of security and technologies industries. Its location on the East Coast makes it an excellent springboard for starting business operations across the U.S."

The program, initiated by the State of Virginia through the Virginia Israel Advisory Board is unique in that it targets two specific sectors of the Israeli industry: homeland security and the maritime industry. According to Mr. Robbins, the Executive Director of the Virginia Israeli Advisory Board, “Norfolk has strength and clusters of excellence in both these fields. We’ll bring Israeli companies to meet and explore market entry opportunities with the shakers in these fields.”

Presentations to potential investors will be another part of the program. Monies raised will be earmarked for market entry into the US and/or for manufacturing. Robbins stressed that “investment should not be the only goal for the Israeli companies, as there will be other incentives for Israeli companies seeking to expand through Norfolk and Hampton Roads.”

Ralph Robbins and other representatives from Virginia will visit Israel in early may to conduct Phase 1 interviews with potential participants. Following the selection process which will end on May 15, the Virginia Israel Advisory Board and Hampton Roads will work closely with the companies to perfect their presentations and to organize targeted meetings for their trip on June 6-8.

[so what did former governor Just-found-out-he's-Jewish George Allen know, and when did he know it?]

Perhaps a better title for this thread would be "Israelis Win Contract to Secure Ben-Gurion's One True Zion's Borders."

....a litle parallel history....

"The Palestinian exodus (Arabic: 5; 4; 7;ž0;ž5;7; 5; 4; 1; 4;ž7;Ÿ1;¡0; 6;¡ 0;7; al-Hijra al-Filasteeniya) refers to the refugee flight of Palestinian Arabs during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. It is called the Nakba (Arabic: 5; 4; 6; 3;6;7;), meaning "disaster" or "cataclysm", by Palestinians.

During the war of 1948, many fled or were expelled from their homes in the part of Palestine that would become the State of Israel to other parts of Palestine or to neighbouring countries...... [PURPOSE OF TORTURE BILL/'RENDITION'???]

[edit]History

Image:BaytJibrin.jpg The history of the Palestinian exodus is closely tied to the events of the war in Palestine, which lasted from 1947 to 1949. Many factors played a role in bringing it about. What exactly those factors were, and how each of them contributed to the course events took, remains a hotly debated issue.

For more information on the historical context, see 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Zionism, Palestinian nationalism, and Jewish exodus from Arab lands. [edit]First stage of the flight, December 1947 - March 1948

In the first few months of the civil war the climate in Palestine became volatile. Hostilities between Jews and Arabs increased and general lawlessness spread as the British declared that their mandate would end in May 1948. Strategically, the period was marked by Arab initiatives and Jewish reprisals (Morris, 2003, p. 65), although the Irgun and Lehi reverted to their 1937- 1939 strategy of placing bombs in crowded places such as bus stops and markets, and their attacks on British forces reduced British troops' ability and willingness to protect Jewish traffic (Ibid, p. 66). General conditions deteriorated: the economic situation became unstable and unemployment grew (Gelber, p. 75). Rumours spread that the Husaynis were planning to bring in bands of fallahin to take over the towns (Gelber, p. 76). Some Palestinian leaders set a bad example by sending their own families abroad (Gelber, pp. 76-77). The Arab Liberation Army embarked on a systematic evacuation of non-combatants from several frontier villages in order to turn them into military strongholds (Gelber, p. 79). By the end of March 1948 around 100,000 Palestinians had fled to other parts of Palestine such as Nazareth, Nablus and Bethlehem or had left the country altogether (Morris, p. 67) to settle in Transjordan or Egypt. Many of these were Palestinian and Arab leaders, middle and upper-class Palestinian families from urban areas. Around 22 March the Arab governments agreed that their consulates in Palestine would only issues visas to old people, women and children and the sick (Ibid, p. 134). On 29-30 March the Haganah Intelligence Service (HIS) reported that 'the AHC was no longer approving exit permits for fear of [causing] panic in the country' (Ibid, p. 137 quoting Haganah Archive (HA) 105257).

During this period there was no official Yishuv policy favoring expulsion and Jewish leaders anticipated that the new Jewish state would have a sizable Arab minority. The Haganah was instructed to avoid spreading the conflagration by indiscriminate attacks and to avoid provoking British intervention (Morris, 2003, pp. 68-86). On 18 December, 1947 the Haganah approved an aggressive defense strategy, which in practice meant 'a limited implementation of "Plan May" *** (Tochnit Mai or Tochnit Gimel), which, produced in May 1946, was the Haganah master plan for the defence of the Yishuv in the event of the outbreak of new troubles... The plan included provision, in extremis, for "destroying Arab transport" in Palestine, and blowing up houses used by Arab terrorists and expelling their inhabitants'. (Ibid, p. 75). In early January the Haganah adopted Operation Zarzir, a scheme to assassinate leaders affiliated to Amin al-Husayni, placing the blame on other Arab leaders, but in practice few resources were devoted to the project and the only attempted killing was of Nimr al Khatib (Ibid, p. 76).

Palestinian belligerency in these first few months was 'disorganised, sporadic and localised and for months remained chaotic and uncoordinated, if not undirected' (Morris, 2003, p. 86). Husayni lacked the resources to mount a full- scale assault on the Yishuv and restricted himself to sanctioning minor attacks and to tightening the economic boycott (Ibid, p. 87).

Throughout this period both Arab and Jewish leaders tried to limit the hostilities (Morris, 2003, pp. 90-99).

The only official expulsion at this time took place at Qisarya, south of Haifa, where Palestinian Arabs were evicted and their houses destroyed on 19-20 February, 1948 (Morris, 2003, p. 130).

Overall Morris concludes that the 'Arab evacuees from the towns and villages left largely because of Jewish - Haganah, IZL or LHI - attacks or fear of impending attack' but that only 'an extremely small, almost insignificant number of the refugees during this early period left because of Haganah or IZL or LHI expulsion orders or forceful "advice" to that effect' (Morris, 2003, pp. 138-139).

[edit]Second stage of the flight, April 1948 - June 1948

Image:Patrol1948.jpeg The fighting in these months was concentrated in the Jerusalem - Tel Aviv area, where consequently, most depopulations took place. The Deir Yassin massacre in early April, and the exaggerated rumours that followed it, helped spread fear and panic among the Palestinians (Morris, 2003, p. 264).

By the estimates of Morris, 250,000 to 300,000 Palestinians became refugees during this stage (Ibid, p. 262).

[edit]Third stage of the flight, July-October 1948

The largest single expulsion of the war began in Lydda and Ramla July 14. 60,000 inhabitants of the two cities were forcibly expelled on the orders of Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Rabin. Rabin wrote in his memoirs:

What would they do with the 50,000 civilians in the two cities ... Not even Ben- Gurion could offer a solution, and during the discussion at operation headquarters, he remained silent, as was his habit in such situations. Clearly, we could not leave [Lydda's] hostile and armed populace in our rear, where it could endanger the supply route [to the troops who were] advancing eastward. ... Allon repeated the question: What is to be done with the population? Ben- Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said: Drive them out! ... 'Driving out' is a term with a harsh ring ... Psychologically, this was one of the most difficult actions we undertook. The population of [Lydda] did not leave willingly. There was no way of avoiding the use of force and warning shots in order to make the inhabitants march the 10 to 15 miles to the point where they met up with the legion. (Soldier of Peace, p. 140-141) Additionally, widespread looting and several cases of rape (12 total throughout the war [3]) took place during the evacuation. In total, about 100,000 Palestinians became refugees in this stage according to Morris (2003, p. 448).

[edit]Fourth stage of the flight, October 1948 - November 1948

This period of the exodus was characterized by Israeli military accomplishments which were met with resistance from the Palestinian Arabs who were to become refugees. The Israeli military activities were confined to the Galilee and the sparsely populated Negev desert. It was clear to the villages in the Galilee, that if they left, return was far from imminent. Therefore far fewer villages were spontaneously depopulated than previously. Most of it was due to a clear, direct cause: expulsion and deliberate harassment, as Morris writes 'commanders were clearly bent on driving out the population in the area they were conquering' (2003, p. 490).

Operation Hiram, which was the Israeli military operation that conquered the upper Galilee, is one of the examples in which a direct expulsion order was given to the commanders: 'Do all you can to immediately and quickly purge the conquered territories of all hostile elements in accordance with the orders issued. The residents should be helped to leave the areas that have been conquered.' (October 31, 1948, Moshe Carmel)

Altogether 200,000 to 230,000 Palestinians left in this stage, according to Morris (Ibid, p. 492).

[edit]Contemporary mediation and the Lausanne Conference [edit]UN mediation The United Nations was involved in the conflict from the very beginning. In the autumn of 1948 the refugee problem was a fact and possible solutions were discussed. Count Folke Bernadotte said on September 16:

No settlement can be just and complete if recognition is not accorded to the right of the Arab refugee to return to the home from which he has been dislodged. It would be an offence against the principles of elemental justice if these innocent victims of the conflict were denied the right to return to their homes while Jewish immigrants flow into Palestine, and indeed, offer the threat of permanent replacement of the Arab refugees who have been rooted in the land for centuries (Bowker, 2003, pp. 97-98). UN General Assembly Resolution 194, which was passed on December 11, 1948, and reaffirmed every year since, was the first resolution that called for Israel to let the refugees return:

the [Palestinian] refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible. [edit]The Lausanne Conference of 1949 See also main article Lausanne Conference, 1949

In 1949 at the Lausanne conference, Israel proposed allowing 100,000 refugees to return, this number included an alleged 25,000 who had already returned surreptitiously and 10,000 projected family-reunion cases. The offer was conditional on a full peace treaty that would allow Israel to keep all the territory it had captured and on the Arab states agreeing to absorb the remaining refugees. The offer was rejected by the Arab states (Morris, 2003, pp. 549-587). Safran concluded that "The Arab states, who had refused even to negotiate face-to-face with the Israelis, turned down the offer because it implicitly recognized Israel's existence". (Nadav Safran, Israel: The Embattled Ally, Harvard University Press, p 336)".

[edit]Causes of the Palestinian exodus

Historians have given over the years different reasons and assigned different responsibilities to the Palestinian exodus. This topic remains controversial today, more than half a century after the events. The answers given to these questions could have important consequences for the future of these refugees and their descendants, as well as to other Arabs and Jews in Israel and Palestine.

The following theories were proposed:

The 'Arab leaders endorsement of the refugee flight' was the official line taken by the governments of Israel and mainstream Israeli Historians, assigning the main responsibility for the exodus to calls made by local and foreign Arab leaders.

The 'Transfer principle' Theory, proposed by the Israeli 'New Historians' (mainly Benny Morris, contends that displacement of population was a consequence of a common line of thought in Zionist politics that emphasized the transfer of Palestinian Arabs as a precondition to the establishment of a Jewish state.

The 'Master Plan' theory, proposed by Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, claims that the Palestinian exodus was planned and organised in advance by Jewish authorities.

The 'Two-stage explanation' is a theory brought forth by Yoav Gelber, which distinguishes between two phases of the exodus. Before the Arab invasion, it explains the exodus as a result of the crumbling Arab social structure, and after the invasion as a result of actions by the Israeli army during the campaign in the Galilee and Negev......."

Hampton Roads, btw, is near the site of the Battle of the Capes, aka the Battle of the Eagles [Ezekiel 17:1-10]

"Today, the old Cape Henry Lighthouse silently guards the entry way into the Chesapeake Bay. Standing near the spot where in 1607 Captain Newport raised a *** cross to offer thanks for their safe crossing of the Atlantic, the Lighthouse is opened to the public on a seasonal schedule.

The architectural integrity of the tower is representative of one of John McComb's best and most important constructions. The Light also symbolizes the first bold steps the nation's new government took to fulfill its obligations to **** its ***** people. With the construction of the Cape Henry Lighthouse, the waters of the Chesapeake Bay became navigable and safe ensuring steady trade and commerce on the Virginia and Maryland coasts.

There had been a need for a lighthouse since before the Revolution. *** The Colony of Virginia and then the state of Virginia could never raise the funds needed to build the structure. [enter the Hegelian dialectic] By November 1789, the Virginia General Assembly provided conveyance of the land "lying and being in the County of Princess Anne at the place commonly called the head land of Cape Henry" to the new government "for the purpose of building a lighthouse." *** Alexander Hamilton contracted with John McComb, Jr. of New York on 31 March 1791. McComb had been the designer of the Government House, the planned residence for the President, in New York City.

[Note: according to the First Virginia Charter of 1606, that land was deeded to the Jamestown colony, and to the Christians on that voyage, for the purpose of spreading the Gospel, and it was not to be encroached upon, by the people of the second colony, who I believe were crypto"Jews", as were Washington, Hamilton, etc., who were the afficiondos of "trade and commerce", i.e., the "golden calf" ]

The contract called for an octagonal structure with three windows in the east and four windows in the west rising 72 feet from the water table to the top of the stone work. The agreement also stipulated the design and construction of a two story house to be a residence for the keeper and for safe storage of the oil to be used for the light. McComb was to furnish all materials for each structure.

In early October, 1792, George Washington renewed his interest in the lighthouse and requested a list of applicants for the keeper. After review, Laban Goffigan, probably of Norfolk, became the first keeper to light the fish oil burning lamps of Cape Henry Lighthouse in late October. The new government completed its first federal work project and fulfilled its obligation to the sea travelers of the Virginia coast. The final cost of $17,700 exceeded the first estimate by $2,500....."

They fancy themselves the Light unto the nations:

Isaiah 49:6

And he said, it is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved of Israel; [see **** its **** people, above]: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, That thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.......

Nevermind, they forgot what He said about this:

Gen 11:4 — And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

Hab 2:12 — Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!

2Samuel 7:10, Ezekiel 34:11-13/John 10, Micah 4; Ezekiel 38-39, Psalm 2, Ezekiel 17:1-10/Matthew 15:13.

Psa 2:1 ¶ Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],

Psa 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Psa/2/3.html

Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Psa 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Psa 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.......

Isaiah 49:6; Ezekiel 37. God's immigration plan for America: John 10.

How anyone can deny the existence of God is beyond me. Ancient prophecies being played out in front of us, CONTRARY to the machinations and goals of God's antagonists. Even a child should be able to see it.

It's a coup, and now the real evil begins.

Wisdom…

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.

The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Jer 8:9 The wise [men] are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom [is] in them?

It would seem so....I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Micah 4:11-12

Job 5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform [their] enterprise.

Job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

Job 5:14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

Job 5:15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

[so what did former governor Just-found-out-he's-Jewish George Allen know, and when did he know it?]

Good question...and Norfork's Ariel "I'm no Jew" Weinmann...

Ariel Jonathan Weinmann

Fire Control Technician 3rd Class, US Navy

Nov. 13 trial set for submariner accused of spying

A Navy submariner accused of espionage and desertion was arraigned Wednesday at Norfolk Naval Station. Petty Officer 3rd Class Ariel J. Weinmann said little during the brief court appearance, answering "Yes, sir" to a military judge's questions. The judge allowed him to delay entering a plea, and a trial was set for Nov. 13….(Hampton Roads, 7 Sep 06)

It's all a bit much isn't it?

...and he's another one who doesn't look "Jewish", at least not to me. When I get overwhelmed, I stand back and try to see it from God's eyes...."I will have them in derision...." And then I see Him bumping His children's heads together, and saying "Quit fighting!!"

Ezekiel 37/Isaiah 49:6. Isaiah 11:1......11:13............12:6.

I know it is all under his control.

George Allen's Israeli business ties arise as new campaign issue. Sep. 24/25, 2006 -- While Virginia Republican Senator George Allen continues to express surprise about his "recently discovered" Jewish background of his mother, he developed very close business deals with Israeli companies while Governor of Virginia and after leaving Richmond. In 1995, then-Governor Allen created the Virginia-Israel Partnership to promote trade between Virginia-based and Israeli companies. After leaving office in 1998, Allen joined the board of Xybernaut Corp., which maintained offices in northern Virginia. The firm's chairman, Edward Newman, was a former CIA agent. However, Xybernaut, which was eventually shrouded in controversy after a major stock fraud scandal involving the firm was investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, was a contrivance with connections to dubious Israeli players, according to sources familiar with Allen's past with the firm. Xybernaut, whose actual owners remain largely unknown, received most of its revenue from off-shore entities in Israel, Liechtenstein, Turks and Caicos Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. Xybernaut, now involved in wireless mobile communications, was a major beneficiary of Virginia Israel Advisory Board contracts promoted by Allen as Governor and while a member of its board and later, as U.S. Senator.

The Allen-Xybernaut relationship is of major interest to the Jim Webb campaign.

Very interesting; thanks. I think George wasn't telling the truth, then, about "just finding out" about his Jewish history.

You watch all these goobermint types saying one thing, and then being caught in their lies, and I, myself, wonder why we would believe ANY of them, EVER AGAIN. Maybe that's the point God is driving home, before he plucks this government up. He wants us to learn the lesson in I Samuel 8, "real good" this time.
