OLIVE, NISC (RET)<\/p>\n\n \nREVIEW & COMMENTARY BY CHARLES H. SULKA<\/p>\n\n(c) 2007, 2009 Charles H. Sulka<\/p>\n\nThe book, CAPTURING JONATHAN POLLARD, by Ronald J. Olive \nshould be required reading for everyone involved in national \nsecurity affairs. This short but well-written book makes for \ninteresting reading, while revealing some tragic weaknesses in \nthis nation’s security apparatus.<\/p>\nFirst let me confess I was spellbound by the story of \nJonathan Pollard’s crimes. What impressed me most was the \ndescription of the material Pollard sold to Israel, his primary \nbenefactor. The sheer volume of the material is mind-boggling: \nhundreds of cubic feet of classified documents, enough to fill \nseveral large rooms, stacked floor-to-ceiling. The stolen \ndocuments contained some of the most sensitive materials of the \nnational security agencies. In the history of espionage there \nhave been only a few occasions where such a vast trove of \nclassified documents has been pilfered. Two cases come to \nmind: the Israelis’ theft of the blueprints for the Mirage \nfighter jet and that country’s theft of American nuclear weapons \ndesigns–along with a huge cache of uranium.<\/p>\nLike most Americans, I had assumed that there were controls \nin place to prevent anything like this from ever occurring. I \nwould have assumed that any document that a user accessed or \nrequested on their computer workstation could easily be tracked– \nsoftware for this purpose is readily available. Like the Aldrich \nAmes case (Russian spy in the CIA) this incident shocked me \nbecause not even the most basic safeguards were in place. <\/p>\nIt is worth noting that Pollard was employed as a low-level \nanalyst assigned to one specific area (the Soviet Union), yet he \nwas able to obtain countless top-secret documents on a wide range \nof unrelated topics. This by itself makes his case noteworthy. \nPollard was not a high-ranking manager with access to information \ncovering a wide array of top-secret programs, as were some of the \ninfamous spies in the CIA and FBI. He was an entry-level \nemployee who finagled a “courier” pass which accorded him \nunlimited (and unsupervised) access to a vast array of national \nsecurity documents from various government agencies.<\/p>\nThat Jonathan Pollard was a mental case should have been \nobvious. In the book we are told that the NIS investigators \nspeculate that Pollard and his wife were using crack cocaine, \nwhich could explain his increasingly bizarre behavior. However, \nupon reflection, I have come to doubt that drugs were the primary \ncause of Pollard’s weirdness, and certainly were not the cause \nof his committing espionage. No evidence of drug use was found \nwhen Pollard’s home, auto, and personal belongings were searched, \nand the government’s (exceedingly thorough) examination of \nPollard’s finances show no drug purchases. The anecdotal \nevidence of Pollard’s drug use is simply not convincing. \nFinally, Pollard’s work habits–he was a “work-aholic”–are not \nconsistent with the use of illegal drugs over a long period of \ntime. Moreover, the use of chemical stimulants always leads \nto obsessive paranoia, and Pollard was careless, even reckless– \nhe was anything but overly cautious. It should be acknowledged \nthat neither the government nor the author has made a convincing \ncase for Pollard’s suspected use of illicit drugs, although his \nbizarre behavior does suggest such a possibility.<\/p>\nThe doctors, psychologists, interviewers, supervisors, \nand security personnel should all have seen the danger signs \nin Pollard’s erratic behavior. They all rationalized Pollard’s \nbehavior as nothing more than eccentricity–an extreme danger \nin a national security setting. Eccentricity is one of the \nindicators of an unstable personality and should always be seen \nas a warning sign, not an excuse. Stability and the ability \nto keep a level head in confused situations are required of all \nsecurity personnel, even low-level analysts like Pollard.<\/p>\nIt is frightening to think that someone who behaved in \nsuch a bizarre manner could be allowed access to national \nsecurity material. Pollard’s bizarre behavior was legendary. \nOn one occasion he showed up late for a job interview (he had \napplied for a promotion and transfer) disheveled and frazzled– \nit was obvious he had not slept, showered, or changed clothes \nfor days. He claimed that IRA (Irish Republican Army) terrorists \nhad kidnapped his wife earlier in the week, and he had tracked \ndown the kidnappers and single-handedly won her release: as \npreposterous a story as there ever was, and one which should have \nbeen checked out, but was not. Nothing was done about Pollard’s \nobvious mental problems. Had appropriate action been taken, his \ntreachery might have been exposed before so much damage had been \ndone. This story reaffirms the necessity of routine evaluation \nof all high-level government employees–especially those involved \nwith national security materials–checking for financial \nirregularities, substance abuse, gambling problems, mental \naberrations, emotional imbalance, criminal associations, deviant \nsexual proclivities, and erratic behavior which could indicate \nan unstable mental condition.<\/p>\nAfter his arrest, psychologists said that Jonathan Pollard \nhad a subconscious need for recognition. He had a need to be \nfamous, to be somebody, to be a celebrity, and it did not matter \nto him whether he was known for good works or evil (yet he \ninsists on seeing himself as a hero, a saint even.) It has been \nshown that certain (psychopathic) individuals have an unhealthy \ndesire to be the center of attention, even if this need for \nattention leads to their own self-destruction. Pollard would \nseem to fit this pattern. <\/p>\nAmong a number of important insights to be gleaned from \nthis book is the recognition of the special dangers Jews pose \nto the national security of the United States. (This problem \nis not unique to the Jews–Moslems similarly pose a serious \nthreat to national security.) The danger from Jews in the \nsecurity services is probably best expressed by Pollard himself. \nIn a conversation with the author (NIS investigator Olive) \nduring an interview prior to his being sent to prison, Pollard \nsaid,<\/p>\n “Ron, you know the government shouldn’t give high \n clearances to Jewish people.”<\/p>\n . . . “What are you talking about, Jonathan?” <\/p>\n “It’s true,” he said, and launched into a theory \n about there being three classes of Jews: those who travel \n to the Holy Land one or more times a year; those who don’t \n or can’t travel there but give money and moral support; and \n finally, “Jews like me,” he said, “who can’t afford to \n travel to Israel or give money. When asked to help, we’re \n willing to do anything for the love of our country.”<\/p>\n\nPollard’s wife (complicit in espionage but charged with \nlesser offenses and given a lighter sentence) reiterated this \nidea that “all Jews are spies for Israel” in her unrepentant \nand defiant explanation of her part in the conspiracy in court, \nin television and magazine interviews, and in her writings.<\/p>\nIn the book, GIDEON’S SPIES, THE SECRET HISTORY OF \nTHE MOSSAD, by Gordon Thomas, the author shows how Israeli \nsecurity forces around the world make use of this network of \nwilling local volunteers like the Pollards. The simple fact \nis, while there are some Jews who would never betray their \ncountry (be it the USA or some other county) for the sake \nof Israel, the vast majority consider it their duty to assist \nthe so-called Jewish state in any operations it has going on \nin any country of the world. The proposition that “all Jews \nare spies for Israel” must be taken seriously.<\/p>\nIt is difficult to find a solution to this problem that \nfits within a Constitutional framework, especially in light of \nthe effectiveness of the Jewish propaganda machine (the press) \nand the political power of the Zionist lobby. For example, \nconstitutional scholars would probably find little problem with \nthe idea of a loyalty oath, but employment agreements in the \nnational security field already contain emphatic warnings of the \nresponsibilities and legal risks one takes in dealing with \nclassified materials. Employment agreements and loyalty oaths \nhave not proven to be an effective deterrent to espionage. By \nnot recognizing dual citizenship (or not allowing persons \nclaiming dual citizenship to work in national security \norganizations) it may be that we could stop some of the potential \nturncoats at the gates. But such measures will never stop the \ncommitted spy. Only effective controls on classified materials \ncan prevent future incidents.<\/p>\nPolitical realities, especially in light of 9\/11 and the \nrise of Islamo-fascism, force us to accept a Faustian bargain \nwith Israel and the Jews in general. The simple fact is, the \nstate of Israel is one of our closest allies in the Holy Wars– \nthe war against Islamic jihadists (and the spread of virulent \nIslam in general). Religious intolerance is the inspiration for \nterrorist activity from a number of groups, from Islamic \njihadists to radical right-wing extremists here in America. On \nthe one hand, we cannot afford to sever ties with Israel, as our \nintelligence services are dependent upon the Israeli’s \npenetration of the Arab cultures and their governments–something \nAmerica could never hope to achieve on its own. On the other \nhand, pragmatism should lead us to limit the Jews’ involvement \nin national security activities and restrict their access to \nclassified materials. The author claims that our “ally” Israel \nsold some of the most sensitive documents provided by Pollard to \nthis nation’s enemies, including the Russians, compromising some \nof our most important intelligence operations.<\/p>\nEarlier examples of the Jews’ perfidy are worth noting. \nIsrael’s role in the Iran-Contra scandal has been downplayed by \nthe press, but in reality the sale of missiles to the Iranians \nwas a joint-venture with the Israelis. Indeed, the millions of \ndollars in profits from the Reaganites’ foreign-policy initiative \nwere reportedly “laundered” through MOSSAD (Israeli) spy Robert \nMaxwell (the London-based publisher and British MP), who gave the \nmoney to a shady Russian General in the GRU (Soviet Military \nIntelligence) for deposit in Ukrainian banks. It appears that \neither the Russians absconded with Oliver North’s commissions \nfrom the sale of missiles to Iran or Maxwell himself (accused of \nnumerous financial misdealings including pilfering the newspaper \nemployee’s retirement fund, and channeling the money to Israel) \ntried to cheat his Israeli spymasters as well as his CIA \npartners . . . one never knows for sure with spooks, especially \nthe MOSSAD. Maxwell’s suspicious death has been attributed to \nretribution by the Israelis, which suggests that his MOSSAD \nspymasters believed he was being less than totally honest in his \ndealings with them. The joke in intelligence circles is that \nMaxwell (who was obese) was taken out (murdered) because he got \nto be “too big for his britches” (a double entendre on Israeli \ntooth radio implants, which are referred to as dental “bridges”.) \nIn other words, Maxwell was lying through his teeth.<\/p>\nIt is even possible that the United States might come to \nneed Israel as a beach-head for military operations in the \nMiddle East; there is no end in sight for the battle with \nIslamo-fascism. In the meanwhile, Zionism serves to distract \nthe Moslems, diverting the attention of the enemies of freedom \nand democracy who represent the greatest threat the world has \never faced. If Israel were to cease to exist, this would remove \none thorn from the side of the Mohammedans, perhaps only to allow \nthem to turn their gaze westward, to us. For the Mohammedan \nreligion is a religion of conquest, of domination. Co-existence \nwith other religions and secular democracy are incompatible with \nthe basic tenets of this murderous faith. If nothing else, \nIsrael distracts the jihadists from their campaign against the \nWest. While Israel and Zionism pose unique problems for the \ncivilized world, Islamic fundamentalism poses a far more serious \nthreat. At the very least the democracies of the West can buy a \nlittle time from the Arab world’s war games with Israel.<\/p>\nOne of the most important insights the book has to offer \nis the existence of one or more Israeli spies directing Pollard \nfrom behind the scenes. It is obvious that the Israelis had \naccess to inside information about US classified programs. \nPollard was routinely given “shopping lists” of classified \ndocuments by his handlers. The lists included the location and \nidentifying information of the desired documents, proving that \nsomeone knew exactly what they were looking for. The press \nspeculated on the existence of a “Mr. X”, thought to be a traitor \nwithin the security services. While Mr. X was never identified, \nit is all but certain that there are other Israeli spies \noperating at the highest levels in this nation’s security \nservices.<\/p>\nIt is conceivable that the list of documents Israel wanted \nPollard to steal came from chronic data leaks–Israel’s vaunted \nIDF 8200 cyber warfare group is regarded as among the most \ntalented in the world, along with the Russian mafia and Communist \nChinese hackers. It would probably be a simple matter for Israel \nto hack into the networks of the security agencies, for one \nreason because the U.S. government purchases software, security \nsystems, and telecommunications gear from Israeli firms. This is \nwhy it is crucially important for the US security services to be \nwary of Israeli computer systems and software. From a national \nsecurity standpoint, then, America needs to greatly reduce its \nreliance upon Israeli technology in national security contracting. \nWe need to keep in mind Jonathan Pollard’s own words of warning.<\/p>\nPollard is regarded by Jews as one of their greatest heroes. \nHe is given standing ovations whenever his name is mentioned at \nJewish events. Thus we have a dilemma: one of the nation’s most \ndamaging espionage cases reveals the true sentiments of a large \nethnic group–widely shared anti-American feelings and \noverwhelming approval of the treasonous acts of an enemy of the \nUnited States. Due to their political savvy, money, and influence, \nthis group claiming a higher allegiance will eventually bring \npressure to bear to free Jonathan Pollard from his life prison \nsentence. Many share the author’s belief that considering the \nextent of the damage done to the national security, it would be a \ntravesty of justice for Pollard to ever be released.<\/p>\nI suggest that if Pollard is to be released–and I am not \nhere advocating that proposition–his release should serve some \nuseful purpose and send a message countering the Jews’ disdain \nfor America. I suggest that Pollard not be released until Israel \nreleases Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli technician who exposed \nIsrael’s nuclear weapons program to the world. After being duped \nby an Israeli spy-whore (one more example, by the way, of the \nworld-wide reach of the Israelis through the cooperation of \nJewish “volunteers”) and kidnapped in Europe, Vanunu spent \nnearly twenty years in prison in Israel under the most inhumane \nconditions–solitary confinement and a total prohibition on \noutside contact. Although now freed from his prison cell, the \nIsraelis have confined him to his home and forbidden his speaking \nto the press or outsiders–in other words, he is still in \nisolation. His abuse at the hands of the Jews has been \npsychological suffering that would be unimaginable to most \npeople. It would seem to me to be a fair trade to exchange \nPollard for Vanunu. Then Vanunu could spend his remaining years \nwith his parents in America, in freedom and safe from his \ntorturers. And as for Pollard, the Jews’ hero, I think his \nIsraeli fan club will soon tire of his need to be the center of \nattention, and his public adulation will come to an end. He will \ndie in obscurity . . . for Israel has far greater heroes to \nhonor, and here in America, we don’t celebrate our losers.<\/p>\n\nV 1.5 (Revised 03\/03\/2009 19:48 -0500)<\/p>\n…<\/p>\n<\/body> \n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"*** Your Title Here *** CAPTURING JONATHAN POLLARD (REVIEW & COMMENTARY) TITLE: CAPTURING JONATHAN POLLARD AUTHOR: RONALD J.

From a national \nsecurity standpoint, then, America needs to greatly reduce its \nreliance upon Israeli technology in national security contracting. \nWe need to keep in mind Jonathan Pollard’s own words of warning.<\/p>\nPollard is regarded by Jews as one of their greatest heroes. \nHe is given standing ovations whenever his name is mentioned at \nJewish events. Thus we have a dilemma: one of the nation’s most \ndamaging espionage cases reveals the true sentiments of a large \nethnic group–widely shared anti-American feelings and \noverwhelming approval of the treasonous acts of an enemy of the \nUnited States. Due to their political savvy, money, and influence, \nthis group claiming a higher allegiance will eventually bring \npressure to bear to free Jonathan Pollard from his life prison \nsentence. Many share the author’s belief that considering the \nextent of the damage done to the national security, it would be a \ntravesty of justice for Pollard to ever be released.<\/p>\nI suggest that if Pollard is to be released–and I am not \nhere advocating that proposition–his release should serve some \nuseful purpose and send a message countering the Jews’ disdain \nfor America. I suggest that Pollard not be released until Israel \nreleases Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli technician who exposed \nIsrael’s nuclear weapons program to the world. After being duped \nby an Israeli spy-whore (one more example, by the way, of the \nworld-wide reach of the Israelis through the cooperation of \nJewish “volunteers”) and kidnapped in Europe, Vanunu spent \nnearly twenty years in prison in Israel under the most inhumane \nconditions–solitary confinement and a total prohibition on \noutside contact. Although now freed from his prison cell, the \nIsraelis have confined him to his home and forbidden his speaking \nto the press or outsiders–in other words, he is still in \nisolation. His abuse at the hands of the Jews has been \npsychological suffering that would be unimaginable to most \npeople. It would seem to me to be a fair trade to exchange \nPollard for Vanunu. Then Vanunu could spend his remaining years \nwith his parents in America, in freedom and safe from his \ntorturers. And as for Pollard, the Jews’ hero, I think his \nIsraeli fan club will soon tire of his need to be the center of \nattention, and his public adulation will come to an end. He will \ndie in obscurity . . . for Israel has far greater heroes to \nhonor, and here in America, we don’t celebrate our losers.<\/p>\n\nV 1.5 (Revised 03\/03\/2009 19:48 -0500)<\/p>\n…<\/p>\n<\/body> \n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"*** Your Title Here *** CAPTURING JONATHAN POLLARD (REVIEW & COMMENTARY) TITLE: CAPTURING JONATHAN POLLARD AUTHOR: RONALD J.
