CIA-SAUDI = HISTORY of Al Quaeda and ISIS(L) FUNDING AND ARMING

CIA-SAUDI = HISTORY of Al Quaeda and ISIS(L) FUNDING AND ARMING = CANCER ON AMERICANS

Al-Qaeda (AQ) is a global militant organization founded by Osama bin Laden, of Saudi Arabia in 1988 with origins traceable to CIA covert actions against the USSR in Afghanistan.

DEFINITION: Al Qaeda = “the database” in Arabic = Computer database of the thousands of Islamist extremists, trained by the CIA and funded by the Saudis, to defeat the USSR in Afghanistan.

FACT: So-called “War on Terror” = AIPAC NEOCON TOOL to justify endless FAKED WARS + Mass surveillance + Minimize future mass revolts + Justify DANGEROUS BLOATED OVERSIZED MILITARY + Transfer Middle Class Wealth to Super-Rich + Create a 2 Class System of Super-Rich and SERFS

NEOCON CRIMINALS IN IRAQ WAR

NOTICE FOREIGN INFLUENCE AND FEINSTEIN AND DEMS ARE MISSING!

FACT: “War on Terror” = Symptom for Cancer of AIPAC-Driven USA imperialism = Real terrorism conducted on larger scale by jets and missiles.

FACT: USA GOV’s Middle East policy = Oil and Israel

CIA–al-Qaeda — CIA had ties with Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda (AQ) and its “Afghan Arab” fighters when it armed Mujahideen groups against the Soviet Union during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

“How the US Helped Create Al Qaeda and ISIS” by GARIKAI CHENGU on CounterPunch, Sept 19-21, 2014 — Chengu is a research scholar at Harvard University.

1970’s the CIA used the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to thwart Soviet expansion in Arab nations.

1970s United States openly supported Sarekat Islam against Sukarno in Indonesia, and supported the Jamaat-e-Islami terror group against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Pakistan.

1970s ans 1980s USA supported Al Qaeda (AQ) against USSR.

FACT: CIA gave birth to Osama Bin Laden and his organization in 1980’s.

Al Qaeda and the Islamic State [ISIS(L)] are made-in-the-USA designed to divide and conquer the oil-rich Middle East and to counter Iran’s growing influence in the region.

FACT: United States CIA has a history of backing terrorist groups = 1970s Cold War to today’s restarted war in Iraq and the NEW war on Syria. = Tools are AQ Contractors and now ISIS(L) Contractors.

NSA Director under Reagan, General William Odom recently remarked, “by any measure the U.S. has long used terrorism. In 1978-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism – in every version they produced, the lawyers said the U.S. would be in violation.”

2004 BBC article entitled “Al-Qaeda’s origins and links” — “During the anti-Soviet jihad Bin Laden and his fighters received American and Saudi funding. Some analysts believe Bin Laden himself had security training from the CIA.” – Robin Cook, Foreign Secretary in the UK from 1997–2001, said CIA provided arms to the Arab Mujahideen, including Osama bin Laden, writing, “Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.”

Robin Cook told the House of Commons that Al Qaeda was unquestionably a product of Western intelligence agencies.

AQ operates as a network of multinational, stateless army of extremist Saudi-Wahhabi fighters – a violent sect that Saudi Arabia has spent $100 Billion marketing over the last several decades. AQ are hired mercenary contractors thatfight for money.

AQ = Despite Saudi Arabia spending $100 Billion to spread Saudi-Wahhabism Sect’s rules for overwhelming Violence and murder they have been massively unsuccessful.

FACT: 99.9+% of Muslims remain peaceful and loyal to peace loving Islam principles as defined in the Koran.

AQ has been designated a terrorist organization by UN + NATO + EU + US + Russia + India.

AQ has been hired by the CIA to assist in many overthrows of nations. Libya and Syria are the two most recent use of AQ for overthrows of government. AQ in Syrian civil war are fighting each other against the Kurds and the Syrian government.

AQ has mounted the 9ll attacks with Saudi Arabian funding and staffing. AQ also did the 1998 US embassy bombings and the 2002 Bali bombings.

FACT: Wars transfer wealth from the middle class to the Super-Rich.

FACT: Wars require two sides and the CIA is responsible for providing the “EVIL ENEMY” = AQ Contract fighters.

FACT: AIPAC-Wall Street-Israelis-Billionaires have complete control of USA Congress, Media, Courts, and Executive and they sell Wars and Overthrows to the American people as a fight against evil described in the media by government sponsored propaganda.

Bush government responded to 9ll by launching the CIA-FAKED “War on Terror” costing Average Americans $6+ Trillion transferred to the pockets of the SUPER-RICH.

ISIS(L) is the latest iteration of AQ funded by mostly Saudi Arabia (like they did with 9ll) and the other OIL DICTATORS like Qatar ($3+ Billion), UAE, Kuwait….

AQ-ISIS(L) techniques include beheadings, suicide attacks, simultaneous bombing, localized murders, traditional war, with 9ll being unique.

AQ-linked individuals gain training in CIA camps in Afghanistan and AQ camps in Pakistan, Iraq or Sudan.

FACT: Wahhabism-Sect of Religion = Tool used to recruit fighters to AQ and justify its contract revenues using extreme VIOLENCE as dictated by Saudi-Wahhabism.

AQ = The false religious argument used envisions a complete religious break from all foreign influences in Muslim countries, and creation of a worldwide Wahhabism caliphate, because the Christian–Jewish alliance is conspiring to destroy Wahhabism Sect. Saudi Arabia prefers to generalize violent Wahhabism to all of Islam and all Muslim Nations, but that is a complete Lie. Wahhabism even argues for the murder of civilians as religiously sanctioned. This is completely opposite of Islamic religious scriptures that forbids the murder of civilians and violent fighting.

AQ = Opposes all (non-Wahhabism) man-made laws, and wants to replace them with a strict form of Wahhabism law suitable for Distatorship like we see in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Oil Monarchies.

AQ = Instigates horrible violence against mostly Muslims that Saudi Arabia wants removed to take their land and resources under their Dictatorship = Syria and Iran. Destruction of holly sites and mass murder of Muslims are Wahhabism tools used to demoralize and terrify Muslims and win territory.

AQ = also attacked the Yazidi community and does massacres and 2007 Baghdad bombings.

AQ-USA-CIA Relationships Defined:

Former British Defense Secretary Michael Portillo and two-time Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto said Osama bin Laden was pro-American for a decade.

Prince Bandar (BUSH) bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, stated bin Laden expressed appreciation for USA’ help in Afghanistan saying on CNN’s Larry King program, “In the mid-’80s…Saudi Arabia and the United States were supporting the Mujahideen to liberate Afghanistan from the Soviets. He [Osama bin Laden] came to thank me for my efforts to bring the Americans, our friends, to help us against the…communists.”

Larry King: In other words, (OBL) came to thank you for helping bring America to help (AQ).

Former FBI translator and Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds (2009) stated: “I have information about things that our government has lied to us about. For example, to say that since the fall of the Soviet Union we ceased all of our intimate relationship with Bin Laden and the Taliban – those things can be proven as lies, very easily, based on the information they classified in my case, because we did carry very intimate relationship with these people, and it involves Central Asia, all the way up to September 11.”

CNN = The CIAs Mouthpiece, of course, claims that CIA never helped AQ or bin Laden. = “The story about bin Laden and the CIA — that the CIA funded bin Laden or trained bin Laden — is simply a folk myth.”

FACT: “The CIA supported the mujahideen by spending the taxpayers’ money, billions of dollars of it over the years, on buying arms, ammunition, and equipment.”

Fox News reporter Richard Miniter wrote, “the disbursement for all American funds to the anti-Soviet resistance…flatly denied that any CIA funds ever went to bin Laden.”

According to Steve Coll, author of “Ghost Wars”, the primary contact for the CIA and ISI in Afghanistan was Ahmed Shah Massoud a poppy farmer and militia leader known as the “Lion of the Panjeer”. Massoud’s army was routed by the Taliban.

Al-Qaeda (AQ) in Libya and Syria

USA-NATO used a USA Virginia-based AQ leader to head mercenaries in the Libyan overthrow. Also, Saudi Arabia-Qatar-USA did $3+ Billion in funding of AQ and ISIS(L) in Syrian civil war.

AQ-CIA America’s relationship = Love-hate affair depending on whether AQ furthers American Corporate interests or not = U.S. State Department either funds and foments AQ as a weapon of foreign overthrows or aggressively targets them as an “ENEMY OF DEMOCRACY”

ISIS(L) = Islamic State = Latest renamed (AQ) CIA weapon but ISIS(L) backfired by Saudi Arabian-Style Wahhabism beheading of journalists supposedly taking controls of an area the size of the United Kingdom.

ISIS(L) History and fast growth = Flourished with Saudi Arabian, Qatar, and American-backing + USA 2003 American invasion of Iraq created the perfect recruiting environment for ISIS(L)-AQ. USA Disbanded Iraqi military = Trained Saddam soldiers for ISIS(L) to recruit and BUILD a FORCE + USA occupation of Iraq caused vast unemployment by closing down factories and destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs + Upper class Iraqis were systematically stripped of their assets and lost their political influence + USA used religious Divide and Conquer to create Arab conflict.

ISIS(L) = Al Qaeda in Iraq = 2010 rebranded like Madison Avenue does.

3 WARS IN SYIA:

GOV vs. Rebels
Iran vs. Saudi Arabia
America vs. Russia = neo-Cold War

USA Israeli Neocons/Neolibs decided to arming rebels in Syria against Assad, ia key Russian ally. = Turned out to be ISIS(L) Saudi thugs with USA-made M16 Assault rifles.

USA Initial Invasion of Iraq = Partially satisfied USA’s thirst for oil

USA air strikes in Syria + Iran Economic sanctions = ISRAELI+SAUDI GOALS = Deprive Israel’s and Saudi’s neighboring enemies

ISIS(L) = Not only an instrument of USA terror to topple Assad and Syria but to pressure Iran and Russia.

FACT: IRAN = Peaceful Nation = Last time invasion by Iran was in 1738.

FACT: USA since 1776 = 53+ military invasions and expeditions.

FACT: USA MSM LIES = Media’s cries Iran is a threat to ISRAEL

FACT: 2012 16-Agency Intelligence Report = Iran since 2003 has NO nuclear weapons program = NO nuclear ambition.

USA CIA uses ISIS(L) in 3 ways = AIPAC-WALL STREET BILLIONAIRE GOALS:

#1 Attack enemies in the Middle East to propagandize Americans to WAR

#2 Justify MASSIVE domestic surveillance and END 239 year old Freedoms

#3 Rapidly increase government secrecy + Crackdown on Whistleblowers = Diminishing American citizens’ ability to hold government accountable.

USA foreign policy Set by = Israel lobby + Military-Industrial-Complex (MIC)

FACT: MIC profits from ISRAELI LOBBY’s actions in $TRILLIONS = 70 CORPS

Oct 2001 = GW Bush declared the FAKED “War on Terror” = $6.6 Trillion Cost

FACT: War on TERROR = Cost 8,170+ DEAD NATO Fallen sons and daughters

FACT: 70 MIC Companies = $27 Billion in just Contract work in last 3 years = 75% had personnel with close ties to executive branch of GOP and DEMS

FACT: 1997 USA Department of Defense report stated, “the data show a strong correlation between U.S. involvement abroad and an increase in terrorist attacks against the U.S.”

American GOV = Must stop funding and arming terrorists and wars = To end motivation to attack Europe and America.

“Caltech professor claims Israeli spy infiltrated JPL” by Zen Vuong, Pasadena Star-News Nov 13, 2014

Click for Source Article in Pasadena Star News

Case study of how U.S. taxpayer funded scientific technology is stolen by Israel.  A trial setting conference is on February 24, 2015 in Los Angeles, CA.

Physics professor at Caltech = Israeli research assistant sent NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory secrets to a top Israeli government rocket scientist in violation of federal law.  Dr. Troian is employed as a tenured Full Professor at Caltech in Pasadena.

WHISTLEBLOWER ON THE ISRAELI ROBBERY = Distinguished physicist named Dr. Sandra Troian, recruited from Princeton, has won numerous scientific awards, and serves on national and international scientific boards.

Dr. Troian says an Israeli postdoctoral student blatantly violated US laws and transmitted information on potential space technology to Israel.

Caltech physics professor charged a small group of Caltech professors and administrators ignored Israeli spying and theft of taxpayer-funded U.S. technology.  Case describes subversion of one of America’s most important scientific institutions and robbery of USA National Technical Secrets.  So high-level Caltech Administrators retaliated against Professor Dr. Sandra M. Troian by making her working conditions intolerable after she reported to the FBI that Israelis robbed sensitive information from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory violating federal export laws.  Two firms filed a lawsuit against Caltech in LA Superior Court

The Caltech professor says an Israeli spy infiltrated JPL.

Professor Troian says CalTech allowed an Israeli spy on campus for two years.  The professor reported that the Israeli violated federal laws and shared classified information with his home country on the Internet.  CalTech ignored the school’s whistleblower policy and retaliated against her for the past four years.

$8 Billion Contract with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory =  Administrators were afraid of losing had they documented her concerns.

Deeply disturbing Israeli Robbery of Caltech Secrets = A small group of Caltech professors and administrators, with Israeli TIES, ignored Israeli spying and theft of taxpayer-funded U.S. technology and then retaliated against the professor for reporting it.

Caltech Provost Edward Stolper = Israeli TIES with an honorary Israeli degree = One of group leading the robbery.  = D.Phil.h.c., Hebrew University

Stolper = Repeatedly tried to intimidate Troian, saying people at Caltech “feared” him and that she would be “miserable” if she did not cooperate with him.

Click for Source Article on even more detailed information of Israeli spying

Stolper = Used his power to deny Troian $1+ Million in grant funds

Stolper = Threatened Professor’s access to post-doctoral researchers

Stolper = Tried to tar her with (unfounded) accusations of scientific misconduct.

Stolper + Caltecn Israeli Symathizers = Launched an escalating retaliatory campaign against the Professor for trying to stop the Israeli’s illegal activities.

The complaint says that Stolper and others worked to impede information from reaching the FBI, which was investigating possible Israeli spying and infiltration at Caltech and robbed secrets from Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Professor Troian said she is frightened for her career = “I’m shocked at what happened because I know that I did the right thing, and I absolutely refuse to break the law…I thought Caltech would appreciate knowing about certain problems and security leaks.…Caltech is filled with good scientists and very honorable people. I think the group that decided to come after me — they themselves are very unethical.”

2010 Started with Israeli entering as research assistant.

2012 FBI agents interviewed Troian about security breaches at JPL by Israeli.

Israeli = Former Israeli assistant to Professor violated the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and possibly violated the espionage act during time at JPL and Caltech

Caltech officials = Threatened to terminate the tenured professor and protected the Israeli stealing the technical secrets.

Caltech officials = Denied Professor about $1.1 million in research funding

Caltech officials = Accused Professor of plagiarism and research falsification

Caltech officials = Accused Professor of mistreating the Israeli postdoctoral researcher that robbed the secrets

Professor = Accused University of added fictitious negative reports in her personnel file.

Professor = Demands a jury trial regarding Caltech retaliated against Troian for reporting robbery of National secrets = A breach of the contract and violated covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

Pasadena attorney = Said national security concerns are at stake by Israel robbery.

Attorney = Demands Caltech remove “false and slanderous defamatory comments” from Troian’s professional record.

Attorney = Seeks punitive damages to hold Administration publicly accountable for their conduct. = Potential for multibillion-dollar verdicts

Edward Stolper, Caltech’s provost, is said to have told Troian that if she did not cooperate with him, he would help make her “miserable,” the suit says.

“God, if you think you’ve had a bad two years, wait for the next two years of being confrontational with Caltech. It just won’t be fun,” he allegedly said according to the suit.

The Israeli is a researcher named, Amir Gat. He is now back in Israel as a  assistant professor of mechanical engineering at an Israeli government institution.

Troian says a virus attack in May 2010 uploaded hundreds of project files on her computer to an unknown IP address outside of Caltech. The Israeli Gat,  she later discovered put the virus on her computer to Rob the files.  She repeatedly reported this robbery to Caltech officials, according to the lawsuit.

Gat admits he shared details of a top-secret new space micropropulsion system with his ITT doctorate advisor in Israel without getting permission from the U.S. government.  The Israeli advisor is a member of Israel’s National Steering Committee for Space Infrastructure of the Ministry of Science, chair of Israel’s National Committee for Space Research and chief scientist at the Ministry of Science and Technology, according to the suit.

Gat without approval from the U.S. Department of State, made 65 online postings containing key operating principles for the micropropulsion device, according to the lawsuit.

Stormer said Troian has never tried to hide anything, yet Caltech has done its best to hide everything.

“Lawsuit says Caltech Provost and others ignored Israeli spying and then retaliated against whistleblower”  by Alison Weir, If Americans Knew, January 14, 2015

http://www.ifamericansknew.org/us_ints/sp-caltech.html

Troian’s statements reveal significant subversion of one of America’s most important scientific institutions + SHOW how U.S. taxpayer funded scientific technology is stolen by Israel — A top espionage threat TO USA.

Troian’s FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

Troian began employment at Caltech in 2006 = Contract between her and Caltech + Only female faculty member in Applied Physics at Caltech + Holds research privileges at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (“JPL”) = federally-funded research by “NASA”.

Federal export control laws govern the conditions under which certain information, technologies, and commodities at JPL can be transmitted to other countries, or to unauthorized persons in the U.S. Several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of State through its International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”), administer federal export control laws.

Troian Reported Illegal robbery of USA secrets by her assistant – a Postdoctoral researcher, Amir Gat, to Caltech, but Caltech Refused to Take Action.

Gat, an Israeli foreign national, transmitted large amounts of information to Israel and now works at Technion in Israel = Electrospray Thruster Array Technology — New type of space micropropulsion system = Restricted technology = Means that Dr. Troian and all other project researchers could not divulge or export any project-related technical data to foreign end users or foreign destinations without U.S. government authorization.

Both Dr. Troian and Dr. Gat signed a Technology Control Plan (“TCP”) and addendum governing the Electrospray Project = Certified their understanding of their obligations not to disclose ITAR-restricted technical data to foreign persons or foreign countries without prior approval from the U.S. Department of State and that failure to comply with this obligation could subject them to criminal fines and penalties.

Gat refused to properly record and safeguard technical details of JPL device, as required by DARPA, the TCP, and ITAR. = Stored illegally on his personal computer.

Gat repeatedly entered erroneous numbers into the design software code when running project simulations, despite clear instructions from Dr. Troian and JPL researchers on which numbers to use.

Gat likely activated in May 25, 2010, a virus attacked Dr. Troian’s computer network at Caltech, causing hundreds of project files to be uploaded in rapid succession to an unknown IP address outside of Caltech and causing Caltech to disable Dr. Troian’s network for several days. = Traced virus to Gat’s computer, and notified Caltech officials of this fact.

ISRAELI CONTACT FOR GAT:  Daniel Weihs, professor at Israel’s Technion and a member of Israel’s National Steering Committee for Space Infrastructure of the Ministry of Science, Chair of Israel’s National Committee for Space Research, and Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Gat refused to tell Troian about the virus attack and to disclose the websites he had visited prior to the attack on the network.

May 28, 2010, Gat admitted to Troian he shared details of the Electrospray Project with Dr. Daniel Weihs, his Ph.D. advisor at ITT in Israel, without proper U.S. government approval. Gat refused to disclose to Troian what he sent to ISRAREL and Weihs.

June 3, 2010, Troian found Gat wandering alone, unauthorized, in one of her access-restricted experimental laboratories. Gat say Israel and Weihs recommended he “look around” at other ongoing aerospace projects so he could be hire by ISRAEL & Weihs — And he was.

Marionne Epallé, Caltech administrator who removed Gat’s papers after Troian reported him = Violated ITAR regulations. Epallé said she was ordered to do so — Probably by Stolper

Summer 2010, Troian reported to Caltech, her growing concerns that Gat was transferring information to Israel without proper U.S. government approval.

June 4, 2010, Troian met to request Epallé document Gat’s apparent violations. At least two JPL supervisors also reported Gat’s illegal activity to the JPL Special Programs Security Manager, who handles espionage concerns.  Caltech did not investigate Gat or take any actions to stop him.

Ares Rosakis, division chair, was one of the first people informed about Gat’s behavior. After Troian was questioned by the FBI Rosakis warned Troian her behavior was becoming “dangerous” for Caltech.

Aug 3, 2010 Troian dismissed Gat because of security concerns and instructed Gat to return all material belonging to the Project, but he refused. Troian did not have the power to terminate Gat’s employment.

Aug 4, 2010, Gat emailed a JPL supervisor and asked for permission to continue working on Troian’s project or other aerospace project. The supervisor denied Gat’s request and instructed Troian to secure all his materials in his possession.

Aug 8, 2010, Troian discovered Gat did 65+ posting literature on the Project on a public website since March 22, 2010 so users worldwide were linking to the site = All unauthorized and a key violation of JPL practices and ITAR and the TCP limits.

Aug 16, 2010, Troian met with Dr. Gharib. As Caltech’s Vice Provost of Research, responsible for investigating Gat’s violations and for securing his work-related materials.

Troian explained Gat’s erratic behavior and his admission that he had improperly transferred ITAR-controlled technical data to Dr. Weihs. Gat refused to document his fraud and refused to give her access to his laptop.

Gharib told Troian that he was “best friends” with Dr. Weihs, Gat’s Israeli advisor Gat’s Israeli accomplice. Gharib had already offered Gat a postdoctoral research scholar position in his own research group since she had terminated him.

No one at Caltech ever made Dr. Gat return his work files, or ever reviewed his laptop for ITAR information. It took several weeks to get Gat’s office keys. Gat removed the project-related information he improperly posted online illegally, after Troian terminated him from the Electrospray Project.

Gat worked in Gharib’s research group at Caltech from Aug 2010 to July 2012.

June 28, 2012, FBI agents told Troian there had been several security breaches at JPL and Gat was a focus of a larger investigation involving ITAR violations and possibly espionage, and asked her for information pertaining to his activities at JPL and Caltech.

FBI asked Troian about Gat’s whereabouts, and she replied that he was still on campus, because Gharib had taken Gat into his own research group immediately after she dismissed Gat. Agents asked why Gharib hired Gat, and she told the agents about Israeli Weihs’s relationship with Gharib.

FBI agents urged Troian to execute an affidavit but her fear of retaliation caused her to decline.

Caltech Israeli sympathizers accused Troian of Calling the FBI. They Retaliated and Intimidated Her.

Gharib admitted Gat spoke to Israeli Weihs about the Electrospray Project. He said Gat had “made a mistake” in violating laws.

Rosakis and Gharib threatened to bar Dr. Troian from hiring future postdoctoral research scholars, which would seriously impede her ability to perform her research. Troian pushed Gharib and Rosakis and they admitted that no formal complaints existed.

Stolper, Caltech provost told Troian she would be “miserable” if she didn’t cooperate.

July 22, 2012, Troian wrote a letter to Stolper asking him to address Drs. Gharib’s and Rosakis’s harassment and baseless allegations. Stolper told Troian that Caltech (he) did not like employees calling the (FBI) authorities. He repeatedly said, “You’re difficult. He told Troian he was “feared” on campus.

Stolper accused Troian of mistreating her researchers. Stolper again told her “everybody is afraid of me” and said he wondered why that was so. That same day, Gharib and Rosakis placed a false disciplinary warning in Dr. Troian’s personnel file without her knowledge. — that 3 researches “had serious complaints about working with [her]” – Complaints never shown but Caltech refused to remove the disciplinary letter from her file.

Dec 21, 2012, Stolper telephoned Troian to reiterate the “seriousness” of Gharib’s and Rosakis’s allegations that she had misappropriated a researcher’s work. He told Troian that her actions constituted “research misconduct,” and had “irreparably harmed” the reputation of the Institute. = Among the most serious and damaging CHARGE against a faculty member.

Stolper asked Troian to send him the slides from her APS presentation, and she immediately did so via intra-campus mail.

Stolper honored by Israel’s Hebrew University in 2012 is a longtime friend of the Hebrew University who also headed the first international academic review committee at the Faculty of Science”

Christmas Eve 2012, Stolper emailed Troian that he had not received the APS slides, and insinuated that she was delaying sending them in order to change them. Troian therefore spent part of Christmas Eve in her office at Caltech, re-transmitting the presentation files to Dr. Stolper.

December 29, 2012, Stolper wrote to Troian: “there can be no mitigation [of the alleged misconduct] based on any circumstances I can envision,” which effectively declared Troian guilty before any investigation.

January 4, 2013, Troian sent Stolper a detailed letter explaining that Gharib and Rosakis’s allegations were in retaliation for her speaking to the FBI, and that she had never engaged in any misconduct.

Caltech’s Whistleblower Policy = Prohibits “retaliation against an individual who makes a good faith disclosure of suspected wrongful conduct”

January 4, 2013 Troian sent second letter to complained to Stolper about Rosakis and Gharib’s retaliation against her for her disclosures to FBI. Stolper Instead of investigating Troian’s complaints as per Whistleblower Policy, Stolper further conspired with Gharib and Rosakis to silence Troian and to push her out of her job at Caltech.

February 26, 2014, Stolper told Troian that he intended to move forward with an investigation of Troian based on new documentation on her alleged misconduct from Gharib and Rosakis, but refused to share it with her. Caltech Conducted a Sham Investigation into the Charges Against Troian and Issued False Findings Against Her. Caltech’s charges against Troian amounted to charges of plagiarism and falsification of the research record = “research misconduct” Troian was therefore entitled to the protections set forth in the faculty Handbook’s Misconduct Policy.

Stolper March 1, 2013 letter said that Caltech was using the Misconduct Policy only as “guidance,” which, in effect, allowed Caltech to bend the rules and find Troian guilty regardless of the evidence uncovered in the investigation.

Throughout Caltech’s investigation, members of the Investigation Committee repeatedly denied that Troian had been charged with research misconduct and reiterated that they were merely using the Misconduct Policy as a “framework” for the investigation.

Stolper’s hand-picked Committee interviewed witnesses and collected evidence related to the charges against Troian. Troian submitted 198 pages of supporting documentation in her defense, though Caltech refused to show her the purported complaint as to which text, slides, plots, equations, data, or results were in dispute. Troian submitted an additional 200 pages of emails between herself and the researcher to the Committee that definitively proved the parties were in a friendly working relationship.

July 1, 2013, Stolper Committee released a Draft Report that ignored Troian’s exculpatory evidence, and presented new and unfounded allegations that Caltech had never given her an opportunity to address.

The Draft Report revealed there was never a formal complaint against Troian. Researcher refused to cooperate with the Investigation Committee, refused to be interviewed by the Investigation Committee, and refused to provide the Investigation Committee with actual evidence of plagiarism or misappropriation.

Aug 19, 2013, Dr. Troian responded to the Draft Report with a 125 page point-by-point rebuttal in her defense.

MAX BLUMENTHAL ON PERILS OF BEING AN ANTI-ZIONIST

MAX BLUMENTHAL ON PERILS OF BEING AN ANTI-ZIONIST

Click for Source Article on Vice

AIPAC = LOYAL TO THE BONE

Even Light criticism of Israel = Results in Jewish assault on Authors

Max Blumenthal in 2013 published “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” = Exhaustive look at HORRORS ISRAEL has done to Palestinians.

Blumenthal = Aggressive critic of Israel = “the Concentration Camp.” + Called anti-Semitic as a Jew + “The Anti-Israel Handbook”

Israel is a mass murdering criminal state that robbs land while DOLING OUT PAIN AND MURDER AND COMMUNIAL DESTRUCTION OF CIVILIANS. = Palestinians are brutalized and treated like animals.

Israel = World’s only active settler colonial = Most severe image of what can happen to people deemed surplus humanity by another — A stark issue. And the Republican Party is the future base of pro-Israel support in the US.

You were attacked for the book.

The book is a vehicle for a movement that’s growing in USA so obviously I became a target. I was a hard target, not just because I’m Jewish but I am NOT an extremist. So attacks are grow increasingly desperate. One called me a white supremacist who went on a shooting spree in Kansas City and attacked a Jewish center — They said I had convinced some racist to stab Jews. All silly lies.

I was shocked when I saw Palestinians – I wasn’t prepared emotionally or psychologically, what surprised me the most was how normalized the conditions of occupation and the sense of creeping fascism had become… Just how openly expressed the racism was, how immunized people were to what was happening within Israeli society, how routine violence was in the West Bank.

After several months it becomes normal to you. You become accustomed to the violence, accustomed to the racism. But you have to allow yourself to be disturbed in order to produce journalism for the outside world — If you take it in there is a sense of outrage.

A flurry of far right articles paint me as an anti-Semite because I’ve published in NYT. All they have left is this allegation of anti-Semitism. All they care about is my relationship to Israel — Opposition to a religiously and ethnically exclusive state.

In Germany does not distinguish between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Germany has absolved itself of any Holocaust guilt by supporting Israel. So I was targeted there.

Eric Alterman, only liberal to attack me is really aggressive. He wrote nine vitriolic personal attacks on the Nation website painting me as some kind of neo-Nazi. I was a little bit surprised at how desperate and rabid the attacks are.

I live in the New York area, and get recognized by strangers who shake my hand and make conversation and offer a lot of encouragement.

The mood has shifted over the years and the NYT inviting me to write after refusing to review my book. Jim Fallows, the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, wrote a really rousing defense of my book. The New York Review of Books finally published a positive review of my book.

A major shift in the debate has happened. David Remnick of the New Yorker, a liberal Zionist, wrote a piece basically throwing in the towel on the two-state solution, suggesting we have to start exploring solutions that deal with the issue of rights rather than land. So it’s kind of gone mainstream in a way.

What hasn’t been challenged enough is the issue of Zionism.

I call myself an advocacy journalist since everyone brings their prejudices and their experiences to their work, but my work rises and falls on journalistic factual analysis to gain any traction.

It’s increasingly hard to get out of the Israeli box, for two reasons. One is because I’m one of the few people doing it. But the second reason is once you really start going into the issue, you start seeing things in a different way. My perspective has been sharpened on issues like police brutality, the militarization of police, American politics in the Middle East.

Republicans are more inclined to support Israel as the future landing pad of the Messiah. GOG loves that Israel is the only country in the West with clear ethnic and religious criteria for who can be a citizen. Many in GOP think America should be a white, Christian nation, and Israel provides a great model of racism.

What’s going to happen with Israel and American relations?

My books guide you through — Republican Gomorrah explains that GOP is going to have a huge challenge holding executive power in the United States because they’ve moved so far to the right. ONLY 18% voted for them in 2014 but apathy let them win. Democrats will hold the White House for the next ten years.

In Goliath, Israel is in a right-wing trend for the rest of its existence due to militarization of Israeli society and rising religious nationalists — Rising racism among Jewish Israeli youth. The clash between US and Israel is going to become more open. So Israeli lobbyists will increase the pressure on the president. But more generals and joint chiefs are complaining about Israel harming US interests, plus the mainstreaming of BDS movement, and the mainstreaming of the narrative I’ve been presenting.

I’ve been back to Israel without any trouble. I visited Gaza Strip this summer and was inspired by the place, and by the way people are able to maintain resilience and high spirits in a place that’s uninhabitable and increasingly unbearable.

You never know when you’re going to wind up on some list like some of my Jewish friends and be denied entry or deported for ten years.

Israeli government cares nothing about journalism unless it appears in a place like the New York Times.
