Smart Dust Is Coming. Are You Ready?

Imagine a world where wireless devices are as small as a grain of salt. These miniaturized devices have sensors, cameras and communication mechanisms to transmit the data they collect back to a base in order to process. Today, you no longer have to imagine it: microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), often called motes, are real and they very well could be coming to a neighborhood near you. Whether this fact excites or strikes fear in you it’s good to know what it’s all about.

What can smart dust do?

Outfitted with miniature sensors, MEMS can detect everything from light to vibrations to temperature. With an incredible amount of power packed into its small size, MEMS combine sensing, an autonomous power supply, computing and wireless communication in a space that is typically only a few millimeters in volume. With such a small size, these devices can stay suspended in an environment just like a particle of dust. They can:

• Collect data including acceleration, stress, pressure, humidity, sound and more from sensors
• Process the data with what amounts to an onboard computer system
• Store the data in memory
• Wirelessly communicate the data to the cloud, a base or other MEMs

3D printing on the microscale

Since the components that make up these devices are 3D printed as one piece on a commercially available 3D printer, an incredible amount of complexity can be handled and some previous manufacturing barriers that restricted how small you can make things were overcome. The optical lenses that are created for these miniaturized sensors can achieve the finest quality images.

Practical applications of smart dust

The potential of smart dust to collect information about any environment in incredible detail could impact plenty of things in a variety of industries from safety to compliance to productivity. It’s like multiplying the internet of things technology millions or billions of times over. Here are just some of the ways it might be used:

• Monitor crops in an unprecedented scale to determine watering, fertilization and pest-control needs.
• Monitor equipment to facilitate more timely maintenance.
• Identify weaknesses and corrosion prior to a system failure.
• Enable wireless monitoring of people and products for security purposes.
• Measuring anything that can be measured nearly anywhere.
• Enhance inventory control with MEMS to track products from manufacturing facility shelves to boxes to palettes to shipping vessels to trucks to retail shelves.
• Possible applications for the healthcare industry are immense from diagnostic procedures without surgery to monitoring devices that help people with disabilities interact with tools that help them live independently.
• Researchers at UC Berkeley published a paper about the potential for neural dust, an implantable system to be sprinkled on the human brain, to provide feedback about brain functionality.

Disadvantages of smart dust

There are still plenty of concerns with wide-scale adoption of smart dust that need to be sorted out. Here are a few disadvantages of smart dust:

Privacy concerns:

Many that have reservations about the real-world implications of smart dust are concerned about privacy issues. Since smart dust devices are miniature sensors they can record anything that they are programmed to record. Since they are so small, they are difficult to detect. Your imagination can run wild regarding the negative privacy implications when smart dust falls into the wrong hands.

Control:

Once billions of smart dust devices are deployed over an area it would be difficult to retrieve or capture them if necessary. Given how small they are, it would be challenging to detect them if you weren’t made aware of their presence. The volume of smart dust that could be engaged by a rogue individual, company or government to do harm would make it challenging for the authorities to control if necessary.

Cost:

As with any new technology, the cost to implement a smart dust system that includes the satellites and other elements required for full implementation is high. Until costs come down, it will be technology out of reach for many.

What should you do to prepare?

The entities who have led the development of smart dust technology since 1992 and large corporations such as General Electric, Cargill, IBM, Cisco Systems and more who invested in research for smart dust and viable applications believe this technology will be disruptive to economies and our world.

At the moment, many of the applications for smart dust are still in the concept stage. In fact, Gartner listed smart dust technology for the first time in its Gartner Hype Cycle in 2016. While the technology has forward momentum, there’s still quite a bit to resolve before you will see it impacting your organization. However, it’s important to pay attention to its trajectory of growth, because it’s no longer the fodder of science fiction. We might not know when it will progress to the point of wide-scale adoption, but we certainly know it’s a question of when rather than if.

Relevant to Today- Absolute Must Watch Video About the Protests in 2018- See the TRUTH of What is Really Happening in Gaza

Watch the video below! See how full of crap some of the Jews really are, see how they lie to us every single day. They are attacking innocent defenseless people, just like the organized stalking program in North America which is done by Public Safety Canada and Homeland Security. Absolute evil incarnate. Sick, demonic, cowardly, and full of lies. How do you defend this Canada? Just twisted beyond anything you could ever imagine.

The CBC is Following My Twitter Account - Maybe You Should Too?

Note: this was originally posted in December of 2016 with my old Twitter account. Here is my new one. If the CBC was following my Twitter account, (see screenshot below, see where it says under CBC pic "follows you") who else do you think knows about what is happening in Canada? Freedom in Canada... give me a break. 

The information I am putting out is controversial and explosive. The CBC knows this, that's why they won't talk about it.  That is also why you should be following me. See here for Facebook and here for Twitter.  Click on the picture below to enlarge it, see how they are following me.

Two Stalking Phony Psychopathic Lowlifes From Hell- James Altucher & Joe Rogan

 Look at the pictures below!

They even have the same "POWER" pose!

See here and here for more about going after political dissidents and whistleblowers.  Like so many Hollywood losers or scumbags on Wall Street, (see here and here,) these two are classic cases of arrogant douchebaggery. They are a part of organized stalking methods that are happening all over North America and potentially more countries.  (See David Lee Roth talking about it here.) These stalking techniques are what they used to use in the East German Stasi. These people are working with intelligence and also have access to classified technology. Just like in the East German Stasi, they had spies and informants in all levels and areas of society. It was a horrible octopus where they had all kinds of people working with them, including public figures like actors. It is also important to note, just as this lady hints at here.... many of these people are Zionists. See here for militant Zionism. See here and here for how Zionism is a part of Homeland Security.

As I have pointed out here about Joe Rogan and here and here about James Altucher, they work with intelligence. They are both Zionists and they both hate critics of Israel. (They are not the only ones doing this.)  Look at this post ---- they know this technology exists, they love to threaten people with it. See here for more about classified technology and microwave weapons. See here for electronic warfare and here for Dennis Kucinich trying to ban this technology. See here for a collection of links about microwaves. Joe is at the absolute least, definitely involved with medical marijuana, as for James --- God only knows what. It is so laughable that James is a "self-help author." James is also connected to Jewish organized crime, Joe probably is too, he does the commentary for the UFC, Jewish organized crime runs the UFC. In fact, Rahm Emanuel's brother Ari owns the UFC!  Just so you know, there father served in the Irgun which was a Jewish terrorist group. All of this is extremely relevant because of the connections between Jewish organized crime and intelligence that goes back decades if not centuries.

Right now, the marijuana boom is big, this is also big in Silicon Valley, just like Transhumanism. There are many wealthy Silicon Valley individuals involved with drugs and working with intelligence agencies. This is why I am having people follow me around that are involved with drugs.

Peter Thiel is a PERFECT example of a Silicon Valley individual that is also connected to the CIA, but there are many of them. This is a good list to start with. Even people like George Soros are involved,
 (see here and here.) Now, he is not a Silicon Valley individual, but, a Wall Street Billionaire. Wall Street is also big-time invested in drugs. See how Peter connects to Facebook and the CIA, see here for the connections between Silicon Valley and the CIA. See here for the history of the CIA and drugs. It must be remembered, these people are using classified technology that the taxpayers finance. They are using it on the population. See this list of lying Silicon Valley scumbags that know about classified technology. Also see this post about the Jewish hand behind the Internet: Google, Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo! and eBay.

What is happening in Canada and the United States is exactly what was going on in East Germany with the Stasi. EVEN THE PROFESSIONS are the same. It literally encompasses all levels of society.

Here is an excerpt from Stasi: The Untold Story of the East German Secret Police: 

Like a giant octopus, the Stasi's tentacles probed every aspect of life. Full-time officers were posted to all major industrial plants. Without exception, one tenant in every apartment building was designated as a watchdog reporting to an area representative of the Volkspolizei(Vopo), the People's Police. In turn, the police officer was the Stasi's man. If a relative or a friend came to stay overnight, it was reported. Schools, universities, and hospitals were infiltrated from top to bottom. German academia was shocked to learn Heinrich Fink, professor of theology and vice-chancellor at East Berlin's Humbolt University, had been a Stasi informer since 1968. After Fink's Stasi connections came to light, he was summarily fired. Doctors, lawyers, journalists, writers, actors and sports figures were co-opted by Stasi officers, as were waiters and hotel personnel. Tapping about 100, 000 telephone lines in West Germany and West Berlin around the clock was the job of 2000 officers.

Stasi officers knew no limits and had no shame when it came to protecting the party and the state. Churchmen, including high officials of both the Catholic and Protestant denominations, were recruited en masse as secret informers. Their offices and confessionals were infested with eavesdropping devices. Even the director of Leipzig's famous Thomas Church choir, Hans-Joachim Rotch, was forced to resign when he was unmasked as a Spitzel, the people's pejorative for a Stasi informant. Absolutely nothing was sacred to the secret police. Tiny holes were bored in apartment and hotel room walls through which Stasi agents filmed their "suspects" with special video cameras. Even the bathrooms were penetrated by the communist voyeurs. Like the Nazi Gestapo, the Stasi was the sinister side of Deutsche Grundlichkeit (German thoroughness.)

 What is the big difference now? 

1. It is much more organized and covert. It is done with space-based weaponry. (See here and here for more information.) Using this, harassers can view ALL the innermost thoughts of the targeted person on a screen - as clearly as one reads a newspaper. The eyes of the target become a live camera for the trackers. (See old video here showing looking out cat's eyes.) Whatever the target views or looks at is recorded on the trackers' computer or viewed by the trackers' brains using a brain-to-computer interface (BCI) These satellite-based technologies result in gross bypassing of fundamental human rights such as personal privacy, health, safety, data security, family security, etc. 

2. They have spies who participate in actively parroting your thoughts or what you are doing back to you over the internet. (When you visit their websites, blogs, Facebook and Twitter accounts etc. They are tracking I.P. addresses, using spyware like Pegasus, and special cookies.) Most of these people are Zionists. See here for more about Homeland Security. They watch you and try to drive you crazy with gaslighting, anchoring, and parroting techniques. The policy is active denial and is a part of what is called "no-touch torture." Imagine being surrounded by a bunch of psychos who have access to your brain and trying to drive you crazy. They also work with foot soldier community-based organized stalkers who pretty much do the same thing. (See here and here for more information.) All these attacks are 'no-touch' / ‘Covert ‘and are remotely operated - and so leave the minimum evidence (if at all) thus making all available laws ineffective and powerless to help the targeted innocent civilians. 

3. Space-Based INVISIBLE PHYSICAL HARASSMENT: DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS ('DEW'), see here for more links on directed energy weapons.) Any of our body parts can be targeted and attacked by these directed energy weapons. Attacks can be done with EMF/ELF waves and can cause a wide range of diseases including cancer, heart failure, kidney disease, vertigo, hands/legs paralysis, internal decay, memory losses to name a few.

4. TOTAL LOSS OF PRIVACY: Surveillance is usually carried out first unannounced secretly for years - without the targets ever being able to detect that their innermost details had been collected and stored - and that their own eyes themselves are made to act as cameras giving the latest details about themselves and the places and persons they visit. Victims have no privacy anywhere on the planet, (bathrooms and bedrooms included). Here are a few Hollywood movies about similar technology, see here, here, here, and here.

Masonic Brotherhood in Silicon Valley

Update: Twitter took down two of my accounts in two days, both of the ones below.  Here is the newest one. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone who has any good feelings about Twitter and the absolute loser that runs it, it is time for you to question your beliefs. This guy (Jack Dorsey,) is a royal piece of shit. Not only have they closed down tons of my accounts (just closed down my latest account,) for literally doing nothing, but, all the head brass at Twitter know exactly what is happening to me and they gang up on me.

They know I am telling you people the truth and they hate it. Jack Dorsey is not only a scumbag, he is a greedy evil psychopath, just like the majority of people at the top of the organizations in Silicon Valley. This is also why Joe Rogan got his 100 million dollar deal with Spotify, it's because of the Silicon Valley scumbags he had on his show. (See here and here for at least two of them. See here for how they are both in my list of shit bags in Silicon Valley.)

Many of these Silicon Valley assholes are pretty much from Hell. They are involved in eugenics and human experimentation. They are all involved with Transhumanism. (See their Masonic symbols below, the "profane" or "average Joe's" don't know this.) They are also censoring people that tell the truth about how screwed up the United States government and intelligence agencies really are. They are utterly privileged trash that laugh in the face of their customers and fans.

(See symbols below!) All the Masonic brotherhood in Silicon Valley, (tied to end of days and the advanced technology that is bringing it about.)

 Connected to Intelligence Agencies

A List Of Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs That Needs to Be Seen For What They Really Are --- Liars

See the Pictures Below!

Every single one of the individuals below knows about the classified and hi-technology on my blog. (See here and here for more about classified technology. See this video from a person from Silicon Valley talking about technology that many people do not know about. See here for more about former U.S. Representative from Ohio and candidate for the President of the United States Dennis Kucinich's attempted ban of space-based weapons.)

This makes them traitors to their country. They are greedy scumbags who need to be shown out for what they are... LIARS. There are tons of smart people that can do what these people are doing. What makes the individuals that are below unique is their level of corruption and how they have sold their souls to the powers of this world. They are working with intelligence agencies, they would not be in the positions they are if they didn't. The reality is, there has always been a close relationship between Silicon Valley and the Intelligence  Agencies. ( See here and here for more about this.) Facebook is a Zionist Stasi apparatus, people don't understand what these people are doing. (See here for more about dealing with Zionists.)

Some of the individuals below are also heavily associated with the Transhumanist movement. Transhumanism is literally being pushed by some of the biggest Silicon Valley companies, especially Google. (See here, here, here and here.)  They know what Transhumanism is, its connections to eugenics ---- and how it is being implemented on humanity without the public knowing.  See here and here for the connections between Transhumanism and Judaism. See here for some introductory videos about Transhumanism. See here for the Transhumanist category on my blog...be sure to go through all of the articles. The other industry that some people below are involved in is drugs --- especially marijuana.  As any informed individual knows, the CIA has always been involved with drugs and organized crime. It is not a coincidence that this piece of crap had the forward written for his book by the ex-CEO of Twitter. James Altucher has connections with Jewish organized crime, intelligence agencies, Wall Street and Silicon Valley. See here for more about Homeland Security, torture, political prisoners, classified technology and drug dealers. 

Here you can see the connections between drugs, organized crime, Silicon Valley, intelligence agencies and stalking losers in my local area. Like this and this shows, Silicon Valley has always had close connections to the intelligence industry. 

For the most part, but not always.... you will often find that most of the people that are engaging in stalking and using classified technology are Zionists. (Jews or Gentiles, mostly Jews that are supporters of Israel.) Why? Well, one of the reasons is because it's literally a part of Homeland Security. See here for more about how fighting "GLOBAL Antisemitism" is a part of American foreign policy. See here and here for the Jewish hand behind the internet. See here for how Israel backdoored everything. None of the individuals below seem to think it matters that a bunch of people are being tortured with electromagnetic weapons and their brains are being beamed out like a live radio station to a bunch of stalking psychopaths. (See here for more about Mark Zuckerberg talking about synthetic telepathy, see here for more about Facebook and typing with your thoughts.) 

This is exactly what is happening, this is not an overstatement at all. THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA IS COVERING UP. Ultimately, it is Jewish organized crime that is behind this. They think they can get away with this. This is how these sick assholes get off, torturing people and watching it like a reality TV show. A good example of this is shown in the movie "The Circle." But, it is actually much, much worse because the technology is more advanced and dangerous. They can get nanotechnology inside your body and transmit electromagnetic waves and sound waves right into you. They can literally control the minds of people. In fact, mind control was already possible in the '60s with microwaves.  Watch this documentary to learn more about this. A good example is the Jose Delgado experiments with the bull, also see this clip from CNN from the '80s and this old newspaper article from the New York Times. This technology is extremely advanced now. See here for a list.

This is how sad countries like the United States and Canada have become, it is absolutely sickening and pathetic. This is the modern-day Stasi Octopus, it starts at the top with the intelligence agencies and Silicon Valley and works its way down. It involves everyone from businessmen and women, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, government employees, trades personnel, (for example; pest control or property management,) law enforcement, drug dealers, writers, doctors, lawyers, journalists, actors, sports figures, priests and religious leaders, addiction recovery groups, university professors, waiters and hotel personnel. This is exactly what it was like in East Germany. There isn't one group they didn't infiltrate. Now your society has become just as sad, our countries have turned into Stasi nightmares.

Homeland Security Made in Israel

 By Philip Giraldi

If there should happen to be an al-Qaeda attack in Calhoun County Alabama, Sheriff Larry Amerson will presumably know what to do. That is because he and a number of colleagues in law enforcement have received paid trips to Israel to learn how to deal with the terrorist threat.

The Washington-based Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) sponsors a Law Enforcement Exchange Program “in order to learn how to better protect the U.S. communities from terrorist attacks.” The program takes law enforcement officials from the United States and sends them to Israel for training in the “strategies and techniques perfected by Israeli law enforcement.” Amerson, past president of the National Sheriff’s Association, made his trip in 2012. Along the way, he reportedly benefited from a “greater understanding of the situation in Israel as it relates to terrorist threats.” JINSA also hosts conferences in the U.S. where Israeli officers are brought over to brief American law enforcement officials.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is also involved in the effort to indoctrinate the U.S. law enforcement community. Its website’s Homeland Security Monitor chronicles numerous meetings between Israeli intelligence and police officials and their U.S. counterparts, to include numerous trips to Israel to learn from the masters of the craft about various aspects of security, including controlling borders and airports. Even firemen have made the journey, presumably to learn how a fire in Israel differs from a fire in the United States.

Ironically, American law enforcement and emergency services are every bit as capable as those in Israel and really have nothing to learn. The difference in practice is that Israel uses extensive profiling to identify threats, which means Arabs are regularly stopped and questioned. Exposure to that dubious technique is often paid for by the U.S. taxpayer as much of the travel to Israel is funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which provides billions of dollars in training grants to cover the expenses. Marc Kahlberg of International Security Consulting offers a package that is called “Eye of the Storm.” He promises “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.” As Hebron is the largest Arab city on the West Bank with a population of 250,000 that against its will hosts an illegal Israeli settlement of 1,000 protected by the police and army, it promises to be an interesting experience.

It has been reported that when the United States was attacked on 9/11 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was pleased because he understood that Washington and Tel Aviv would now be joined at the hip in their mutual response to what Israel has been defining as terrorism. When Netanyahu spoke before congress shortly afterwards he said “We are all targets” before engaging in a number of meetings instructing Washington regarding what must be done. Netanyahu’s Israel succeeded beyond its wildest dreams, exploiting the incident to such an extent that the United States has adopted wholesale Israeli perceptions of Middle Eastern politics. As Scott McConnell has observed, there exists “a transmission belt, conveying Israeli ideas on how the United States should conduct itself in a contested and volatile part of the world. To a great extent, a receptive American political class now views the Middle East and their country’s role in it through Israel’s eyes.”

Beyond that political assessment, the Israel-terrorism nexus operates on a number of levels. It has been sometimes noted that the United States has adopted the Israeli model to deal with terrorism, so much so that American politicians sometimes consider Israel a component of U.S. national security. Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s website included “Israel” under the category “Homeland Security.”

The federal bureaucracy has also been changed to accommodate the new reality. Since the Clinton Administration, every senior diplomat or official dealing with the Middle East region has had to pass through a vetting process to ensure full support of and deference to Israeli interests, which include its view of the terrorist threat. 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.

Since 2001, many senior appointees throughout the federal government have gone one step farther, no longer making any effort to hide their strongly pro-Israel sentiments. Witness the ascendancy of Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, William Boykin, and Eric Edelman at the Defense Department under George W. Bush. Given the openly expressed identification with Israel at the Pentagon and National Security Council it is no surprise that Washington and Tel Aviv appear to align completely on how to combat terrorism. Both claim 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 have engaged in torture, and both operate high security prisons containing numerous suspects who are described as terrorists but who have never been and quite likely never will be tried. Many of the detainees have been confined for years and will undoubtedly die in prison without ever being charged with a crime. Some of them are surely innocent.

America’s Militarized Police. Made in Israel?

The Israeli-American model for dealing with terrorism is itself unusual. Historically speaking, countries that have been plagued with a terrorism problem have focused on countering that specific threat without seeking to expand the conflict. But that has not been the case for post 9/11 America, with George W. Bush grandiloquently proclaiming a global war on terror which was later euphemized into a “global freedom mission” under Bush and as “overseas contingency operations” under Barack Obama. Bush set the United States up as an international policeman with the rest of the world relegated to being either “with us or against us.”

Israel meanwhile set the framework for the program, defining the terrorist threat against itself and Washington as “radical Islam,” a phrase that has been readily picked up by American politicians and the media. Radical Islam implies a worldwide struggle that is frequently conflated into a complete rejection of political Islam and suspicion regarding the intentions of anyone who is a practicing Muslim, a predisposition that is playing out currently vis-a-vis Egypt.

Israel has also done much to name the players and define the playing field. The hypocrisy of the process is evident when groups like Hezbollah and Hamas are thereby identified by Washington as “terrorists” even though they do not threaten the United States and see themselves as national liberation movements for the Palestinian and Lebanese people. Meanwhile, groups like 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 the regime in Iran and are therefore by extension friends of Israel and its allies in Congress and the media.

Less visible is Israel’s hand in shaping and profiting from the domestic agenda against terrorism, which is where Sheriff Amerson comes in. The Lobby and its friends are intent on projecting a positive image of Israel as a bulwark against terrorism and the “only democracy in the Middle East.”

The disparate groups that make up The Lobby are active in creating the tie that binds regarding the perception of terrorism on the ground and they do it through exchange programs and the actual involvement of Israeli security companies and contractors in the lucrative homeland security marketplace. Israel is a militarized state and the United States over the past twelve years has also moved in the same direction vis-a-vis its own police forces, a development that again reflects the priorities of national and local governments and the predilection to deal with the perceived terrorism threat through the use of overwhelming force and intimidation.

New York City’s unconstitutional “stop and frisk” police activity is a preemptive doctrine modeled on Israeli counter-terrorism practice and it should be no surprise that the New York Police Department has an overseas office in Tel Aviv.

It has been noted that the terrorism threat itself is greatly exaggerated, with more Americans killed by falling television sets than by terrorist action, but this has not stopped the 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. Much of the activity is either wasteful, redundant, or completely unnecessary. America’s seventy-two 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, but also including anti-abortionists and Ron Paul supporters.

This effort to turn a buck from the woefully mismanaged Department of Homeland Security is multifaceted. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that fully 97% of DHS discretionary grants are given to Jewish organizations even though Janet Napolitano has admitted that there is no “specific, credible threat” against Jewish targets. And the flow of money is combined with similar efforts being undertaken by other elements in the Israel Lobby to influence opinion and create an American national consensus unshakably favorable to Israel.

The Israeli arms and security industry, which is partially “covert” so it can sell to countries and rulers on arms embargo lists, is a partner to the process. It is now the fourth largest weapons exporter in the world, behind only the U.S., Russia, and France. It has 6,800 licensed arms and security services providers, making it the largest industry in Israel. Israeli companies can and do bid on federal and local government contracts in the U.S. and they are also able to export their products freely to America thanks to the Israel-United States Free Trade Agreement of 1985 and the Counterterrorism Cooperation Accord Between the Government of the State of Israel and the Government of the United States of America of 1996. This direct involvement of Israel in American security has been recently expanded through passage of 2012’s United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act.

Israeli companies dominate the international airline security industry, frequently doing double duty as the covert, local Mossad station, but their failures are better known than their successes, including the case of the Nigerian underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab who was ultimately detected by an alert passenger. Israeli technology companies also produce many of the devices used by police departments and the FBI to tap telephone conversations and record call data. And the employment of their high tech telecommunications equipment comes at a national security price as, for example, they exploited a back door in the technology to listen in to White House phone conversations during the Clinton Administration.

Israeli contractors and companies dot the homeland security landscape but only rarely attract any attention. One notable exception to that rule was the 2002 attempt by New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey to appoint an Israeli Golan Cipel, who was also his lover, as his Homeland Security adviser. The companies sometimes boast about their role in the occupation of the Palestinian West Bank. They claim to provide what they describe as “real” experience and expertise based on their recurring conflict with their Arab neighbors. They often combine that narrative with proselytizing their point of view about the politics of the Middle East. The Israel Law Center (Shurat HaDin) is currently offering an October “Israeli Adventure of a Lifetime – the Ultimate Mission to Israel,” which includes meetings with Mossad 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.

If one starts looking, scores or even hundreds of Israeli companies and consultants pop up nearly everywhere in U.S. national security while a search of the Israel-America Chamber of Commerce website did not identify even a single American security company operating in Israel attempting to obtain Israeli government and private sector contracts. Israel’s Security Solutions International offers U.S. taxpayer funded training courses using “Israeli veterans” as instructors. Defense contractor Elbit Systems is providing spy towers on the Arizona border with Mexico. Magal Security Systems, which has four subsidiary companies in the U.S., has a contract for security at American nuclear power plants. Rozin Security Consulting provides security at Mall of America, using its trademarked Suspicion Indicators Recognition and Assessment System, which is basically profiling. Global Security International, with offices in New York City, offers consulting services relating to counter-terrorism operations.

The broader question American taxpayers should be asking themselves is whether the hundreds of billions of dollars being spent on national security is money well spent. Israel has 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. It also profits substantially as its companies and former security officers have exploited their “real experience” credentials to entrench themselves in U.S. homeland security at all levels. With the aid of the domestic Israel Lobby, Tel Aviv has become adept at selling a product, which includes the false depiction of Israel as the victim in the Middle East.

This victimhood has apparently obtained traction in the United States, where politicians and the mainstream media persist in describing the nation with the world’s largest economy and most powerful military and security forces as somehow threatened. As a result, as Professor Steven Walt has described it, Washington is “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.
