2012 Calhoun County Alabama, Sheriff Larry Amerson (Past president of the National Sheriff’s Association) + Colleagues in law enforcement = Received FREE trips to Israel to learn how to deal with terrorists paid for by JINSA = Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) + AIPAC The American Israel Public Affairs Committee

USA POLICE freebee ISRAELI INDOCTRINATION into Israeli Policing by JINSA Law Enforcement Exchange Program = So USA Police “learn how to better protect the U.S. communities….strategies and techniques perfected by Israeli law enforcement.” + Reportedly a “greater understanding of the situation in Israel as it relates to terrorist (Brown Skin) threats.” JINSA also hosts conferences in the U.S. where Israeli officers are brought over to brief American law enforcement officials.

JINSA + AIPAC = Effort to indoctrinate the U.S. law enforcement community with website’s titled “Homeland Security Monitor”– March 2014 highlights LAPD Delegation Visits Israeli Security Firms in Israel + Israeli Firm Assisting with U.S.-Mexico Border Security + IDF Officers Visit Chicago to Expand Collaboration + chronicles numerous trips to Israel to learn from the masters of security and controlling borders + Even firemen have gone to Israel to learn how a fire in Israel differs from a fire in the United States even though USA law enforcement and emergency services are every bit as capable as those in Israel = Nothing to learn except Racist Profiling often paid for by the U.S. taxpayer as much of the travel to Israel is funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

DHS = Provides $ Billions in training grants to cover travel to Israel.

International Security Consulting offers a package that is called “Eye of the Storm…an exclusive learning tour into the heart of Hebron. You will have the opportunity to see first-hand how the police there are dealing with a daily volatile situation. You will feel the adrenalin, but be completely safe and will be the guests of the Israeli Police Commander.” = Hebron is the largest Arab city on the West Bank with a population of 250,000 with an illegal Israeli settlement of 1,000 protected by the police and army, it promises to be an interesting experience.

Right after 911 Netanyahu spoke before congress and said “We are all targets” now and then engaged in meetings on what Washington must do = A giant success for Netanyahu’s Israel beyond its Security Complex’s wildest dreams as USA adopted wholesale Israeli policies. = “a transmission belt, conveying Israeli ideas on how the United States should conduct itself …”

Israel-terrorism nexus operates on a number of levels in USA with wholesale adoption of the Israeli model, so much so that American politicians sometimes consider Israel a component of U.S. national security. Paul Ryan’s website included “Israel” under the category “Homeland Security.”

US federal bureaucracy changed to accommodate Netanyahu’s new reality. Since Clinton all senior diplomat/official dealing with the Middle East has had to pass through a vetting process to ensure full support of and deference to Israeli interests. Non-compliance is career ending. Chas Freeman, who was named to head the National Security Council in 2009, was quickly forced to step down when it was determined that he was not sufficiently pro-Israel.

2001 GW BUSH no longer made any effort to hide their strongly pro-Israel sentiments = Ascendancy of Paul Wolfowitz + Doug Feith + William Boykin + Eric Edelman at the Defense Department. = Openly identified with Israel at the Pentagon and National Security aligning completely Washington with Tel Aviv and Israel.

The Israeli-American model = Washington + Tel Aviv & Israel Align on claiming the right to engage in preemptive warfare and to assassinate people in other countries without any transparent legal process + Both operate lethal drones to kill suspected militants on the ground + Both engaged in torture + Both operate high security prisons containing numerous suspects who are described as terrorists for INDEFINITE DETENTION + Many prisoners die without ever being charged with a crime + Both avoid prosecutions.

The Israeli-American model on terrorism was usually minimized in the past with simple police operations BUT post 9ll BUSH Proclaim a global war on terror or “global freedom mission” or “overseas contingency operations.” = Bush set USA up as an international policeman for the rest of the world. = You are either “with us or against us.”

Israel setup the USA terror WAR program as a threat to Israel and Washington by so-called “RADICAL ISLAM” (has a NICE SCARRY RELIGIOUS RING TO IT when all they are is money grabbing AQ Contract Killers hired by BIG OIL MONARCHS) using most American politicians frightened by their Wall Street Support and Corporate Multinational Owned Media.

Radical Islam implies a FAKED STRUGGLE AGAINST FAR-RIGHT RELIGION that was conflated into a complete rejection of Islam and all practicing Muslims. ISRAEL hand picked the DEMONS = Hezbollah and Hamas identified as “terrorists” to USA even though they do not threaten the USA in any way, but are both national liberation movements for the Palestinian and Lebanese people.

Oddly, the Mujaheddin e Khalq (MEK), which have actually killed Americans, have been removed from the State Department list because they are perceived as enemies of Iran = Friends of Israel and its allies in Congress and the media.

Less visible is Israel’s hand in shaping and profiting from USA terrorism fears = PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAMS like the Sheriff Amerson free trips to Israel for training. = The Pro-Israel Lobby are intent on projecting a positive image of Israel as the “only democracy (EXCLUDING ARABS) in the Middle East.” = Disparate groups make up The Lobby create ties and perceptions of terrorism through exchange programs and the actual involvement of Israeli security companies and contractors in the lucrative homeland security marketplace.

Israel = A militarized state like USA over the last decade plus and have moved their police forces priorities with the formation of Homeland Security. of national and local governments and the predilection to deal with the perceived terrorism threat through the use of overwhelming force and intimidation.

NYC’s unconstitutional “stop and frisk” police activity was modeled on Israeli counter-terrorism practice + NYPD has an overseas office in Tel Aviv.

The terrorism threat = Greatly Exaggerated = More Americans are killed by falling television sets than by terrorist actions or lightening or accidental suffocation in bed. But these facts have NOT Israeli Neocons from proliferation of state level departments of homeland security, fusion centers for sharing information, and the introduction of consultants and security service providers at all levels. = Mostly wasteful, redundant, or completely unnecessary.

America’s 72 fusion centers where many of the Israeli contractors and advisers wind up, have been denounced in a Senate report as useless, ineffective, and frequently engaged in spying on American citizens, particularly Arabs. = To turn a buck from the woefully mismanaged Department of Homeland Security is multifaceted.

FACT: Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports 97% of DHS discretionary grants are given to Jewish organizations to influence opinion and create an American national consensus unshakably favorable to Israel.

Israeli ARMS AND SECURITY INDUSTRY = Partially “covert” and sells to countries and rulers on USA arms embargo lists. = 6,800 Licensed providers. = Largest Industry in Israel.

FACT: Israel (smaller than Vermont) = 4th largest weapons exporter in the world = Behind USA + Russia + France.

FACT: Israeli companies can and do bid on USA federal and local government contracts and they are also able to export their products freely to America thanks to the Israel-United States Free Trade Agreement of 1985 + the Counterterrorism Cooperation Accord of 1996.

ISRAEL = Has direct involvement in American security = Recently expanded through passage of 2012’s United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Dominate the International airline security industry = Nigerian underwear bomber

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Produce many of the devices used by police departments and the FBI to tap telephone conversations and record call data.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = High tech telecommunications equipment exploited a back door to listen in to White House phone conversations during the Clinton Administration.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Dot the homeland security landscape but rarely attract any attention.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Boast about their role in the occupation of the Palestinian West Bank by providing “real” expertise based on their recurring conflict with their Arabs. The Israel Law Center (Shurat HaDin) offered an “Israeli Adventure of a Lifetime – the Ultimate Mission to Israel,” which includes meetings with Intelligence officials, observing a trial of a Hamas terrorist, riding an ATV on the Golan Heights, and a briefing by Israeli soldier heroes, all experienced while residing in five star accommodations. It is something like Disneyland with guns and real live Arabs to shoot at.

100s of ISRAELI COMPANIES & Consultants pop up nearly everywhere in U.S. national security while a search of the Israel-America Chamber of Commerce website in Israel did not identify even a single American security company operating in Israel attempting to obtain Israeli government and private sector contracts.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Israel’s Security Solutions International = Offers U.S. taxpayer funded training courses using “Israeli veterans” as instructors.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Defense contractor Elbit Systems is providing spy towers on the Arizona border with Mexico.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Magal Security Systems, which has four subsidiary companies in the U.S., has a contract for security at American nuclear power plants.
ISRAELI COMPANIES = Rozin Security Consulting provides security at Mall of America, using its trademarked Suspicion Indicators Recognition and Assessment System, which is basically profiling.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Global Security International, with offices in New York City, offers consulting services relating to counter-terrorism operations.

$100s of BILLIONS FLOW TO ISRAELI COMPANIES = Big question American taxpayers should be asking themselves is whether the $100s of Billions being spent on national security is money well spent.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Have a vested interest in making the terrorist threat appear more real than it actually is and also to present itself as the only reliable partner of the United States in the war against global terror.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Profits substantially by exploited their “real experience”
to entrench themselves in U.S. homeland security at all levels.

ISRAELI COMPANIES = Use USA domestic Israel Lobby to sell Israeli products to the USA Federal Government always depicting Israel as the victim in the Middle East.

ISRAELI-USA Victimhood = Obtained traction in the USA with politicians and the mainstream media (MSM) describing the world’s largest economy and most powerful military as somehow threatened.

Professor Steven Walt described Washington as “chasing spooks and ghosts all over the world,” convinced that it is “very, very vulnerable.” Israel has certainly done its best to encourage that mindset.
