The US has FTAs with 20 foreign nations, including six added in 2006, Bahrain, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Morocco, and Nicaragua. Israel lobbied for a bilateral Free Trade Agreement with the US in 1984 and it was approved in 1985. But since then, according to a study conducted by the Washington DC based Institute for Research: Middle East Policy ( IRmep ) of documents released only last year, the United States has lost more than $71 billion in the deal and the equivalent of an average of 100,000 jobs in each of the past 10 years alone. This is a staggering discovery considering that the United States is today in one of the worst economic depressions in its history and that the American unemployment rate continues to rise, now past 8.2 percent nationwide. Worse, IRmep Director Grant Smith explained this week, is the trade secrets provided by American businesses to negotiate a favorable program have been obtained by Israel's government and by AIPAC, Israel's powerful lobbying organization that silences Israel's critics in American business and in the United States House and Senate. "The US government solicited confidential business information from affected businesses and trade associations to share their trade secrets, market share, and other sensitive information with the US government to negotiate the best deal," explained Smith who discussed the issue during an appearance Wednesday on RadioChicagoland on WJJG 1530 AM Radio (www.RadioChicagoland.com). "Israel was the very first beneficiary of a free trade agreement with the US. But last year, new details were revealed about how Israel and the lobbying group AIPAC obtained the business trade secrets submitted by American companies." Free Trade Agreements basically work like this: Foreign country a manufactures apples and sells them to the US. The US manufactures oranges and, under the Free Trade Agreement, sells them to Israel, bypassing all of the two country's trade restrictions or tariffs. In the end, both countries get something they don't have. And total bilateral trade volume should increase as both countries focus on producing merchandise they are most efficient at manufacturing. Since the agreement was ratified, Smith says, US industry, counter espionage agencies and the US Trade Representative (USTR) continue to combat the misuse of intellectual property of US companies obtained by Israeli companies exporting to the world, and preferentially to the US market. According to a petition drafted by the American Coalition for Fair Trade to be filed April 6, 2009, the trade deficit with Israel continues to increase at a great cost to the American people. The report calls the US trade deficit with Israel "an anomaly" among all other bilateral free trade agreements that threatens the economic viability of the American worker and US businesses. The US-Israel FTA has reversed a formerly balanced trading relationship and produced an ever widening trade deficit to the United States. Translated into American jobs by the standard input-output method, the US-Israel FTA has been disastrous for American workers. In 2008, the $7.8 billion US deficit with Israel was the equivalent of 125,663 American jobs. In fact, according to a chart of lost revenues and jobs between 1999 and 2008, the last 10 years of the FTA with Israel, the jobs lost to the American public is now an irreversible attribute of the trade relationship. But, had the FTA and WTO intellectual property provisions been properly monitored and enforced the agreement with Israel, the report concludes, the relationship should have produced mutual, as opposed to one sided benefits. In 2008 bilateral FTAs produced a cumulative $21.6 billion surplus. If the deficit generated by the US-Israel FTA ($7.8 billion) didn't exist, the bilateral FTA surplus would have been $29.4 billion, sustaining 471,850 FTA related direct and indirect jobs in the American economy. Worse is the recognition of this drain on the nation's economy, which does not take into consideration the billions in funds that the United States gives Israel every year in outright grants and loans that are often later cancelled by the Congress and that Israel does not have to repay. Additionally, Israeli companies benefitting from the Free Trade Accord are in fact engaged in construction and maintenance of Israel's illegal settlements in the West Bank, fueled by revenue from US tariff free sales! An agreement that violates the rights of US companies and workers, now finances the expropriation of Palestinian land-in violation of international law and US policy. Smith noted the USTR has been aware of these violations for years but details of petitions and other information have never been made public: complaints from corporations have been secret for the past 25 years. The original trade secrets report is still classified (though not to AIPAC and the Israeli government.) The Obama administration will now have to consider the results of this agreement, according to Smith, as his proposed trade representative, Ron Kirk, reevaluates all free trade agreements including Israel's FTA. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b86_1237000279 danmanjonez Israel violates Free Trade Agreement as US loses $71 billion israel,us,trade,fta,free trade agreement,free trade,business,employment,unemployment,IRmep,AIPAC,government,USA,United States Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:44:02 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7da_1236997753 danmanjonez Overpopulation, climate change, Nano bot Chem trail poisons, Codex Alimentarius malnutrition, economic crisis, its ok...were FKD http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7da_1236997753 danmanjonez ITS OK ...WERE FKD FKN NEWZ,Overpopulation,climate,change,Nano,bot,Chem,trail,poisons,Codex,Alimentarius,malnutrition,economic,crisis,nwo,elite Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:18:27 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0cd_1236996761 danmanjonez Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has dropped another bombshell, claiming that Dick Cheney was running an "executive assassination ring" which reported directly to him during the Bush years. "After 9/11, I haven't written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state," Hersh said. "Without any legal authority for it. They haven't been called on it yet." Read more According to Hersh, the Joint Special Operations Command, part of the special operation community set up independently, is responsible for carrying out such acts. The journalist said that they do not report to anybody, though in the Bush- Cheney days they reported directly to Cheney. "It's an executive assassination ring essentially, and it's been going on and on and on," Hersh said. "Under President Bush's authority, they've been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That's been going on, in the name of all of us." Still, it seems that not everyone believes in Hersh's finds. "Hersh has made a living of making fantastic claims that don't quite live up to the hype," said Bill Roggio from The Weekly Standard. "Chalk this one up as another Hersh fantasy." Roggio said that "like in any good tale" the Joint Special Operation Command does participate in actions against Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups' leaders. Bill Roggio, however, dismissed Hersh's assumption that JSOC does not report to anyone, including the U.S. Congress. "JSOC is a component command of the U.S. Special Operations Command, which reports to the Secretary of Defense," he said. "JSOC, like the CIA, certainly falls under Congressional oversight." 13 March, 2009, 22:36 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0cd_1236996761 danmanjonez Cheney: head of "executive assassination ring"? cheney,assassination ring,death squad,hersh,seymour hersh Fri, 13 Mar 2009 19:26:22 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=69f_1236984544 danmanjonez One on One, meet the multi-Oscar-winning director and writer, Oliver Stone.

AIPAC Holds National Meeting Amid Spy Scandal Investigation Franklin A Pentagon analyst accused of leaking top-secret information to a pro-Israel group faces a new charge of illegally taking classified government documents out of the Washington area to his West Virginia residence. Larry Franklin was arrested on May 4th for passing top secret information to employees of the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC-the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. A Pentagon analyst accused of leaking top-secret information to a pro-Israel group faces a new charge of illegally taking classified government documents out of the Washington area to his West Virginia residence. Larry Franklin-one of the Pentagon's top analysts working on Iran-was arrested on May 4th for passing top secret information to employees of the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC-the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The highly classified information was then passed on to Israeli officials. Yesterday, AIPAC closed its three day policy conference in Washington D.C. AIPAC is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington D.C. It is consistently ranked among the top five most influential interest groups in Fortune magazine's poll of annual poll of Washington insiders. AIPAC has a $40 million annual budget, offices across the country and a staff of lobbyists and researchers in the capital that work on persuading the U.S government to continue sending billions of dollars in aid to Israel every year. This conference was AIPAC's largest with 5,000 participants. Speakers included Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon. An AIPAC fact sheet about the conference stated that there were "more members of Congress" in attendance "than almost any other event, except for a joint session of Congress or a State of the Union address." AIPAC is not named in the criminal complaint but government officials had previously said Franklin met with two officials from the organization at a restaurant in June 2003. Those two men-AIPAC's policy director Steve Rosen and Iran specialist Keith Weissman-have since been fired. Franklin has been accused of providing AIPAC with a draft presidential directive that proposed a tougher policy on Iran, which included consideration of covert action towards regime change. Yesterday's charge of unlawfully possessing classified federal defense documents focuses on top secret CIA files found in Franklin's home. He was released yesterday on $50,000 bond and faces a June 9 hearing. If convicted on yesterday's charge Franklin faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The earlier charge carries a similar prison term. We are joined on the phone right now by Justin Raimondo, editorial director of Antiwar.com. Justin Raimondo, editorial director of Antiwar.com. He has an article on Larry Franklin in the forthcoming issue of The American Conservative. His latest piece on this story on AntiWar.com is called "Larry Franklin and the Axis of Espionage." AMY GOODMAN: We're joined on the phone now by Justin Raimondo. He's editorial director of AntiWar.com, has been writing extensively about this, recently wrote, "The Franklin Affair: A Spreading Treason." "There's more to the AIPAC spy scandal than mishandling classified information," Justin Raimondo writes. Tell us about this scandal. JUSTIN RAIMONDO: Well, you have to understand that it didn't really start on June 26, 2003, when the FBI was eavesdropping on a conversation between Franklin, Weissman and Rosen. It started right after 9/11. That's when the investigation, you know, started. And the FBI was already watching Weissman and Rosen. And so, Franklin walked in, you know, on this meeting, and the FBI was stunned. They thought, "What's this guy doing here?" So, they started watching Franklin. And that's what led to the charges today, and the other charges, which were issued last week. So, you know, it didn't start with Larry Franklin, and it's not going to end with Larry Franklin, either. AMY GOODMAN: I want to talk about the power of AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which just closed this massive conference, considered one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, one of the top five most influential interest groups in Fortune magazine's annual poll of Washington insiders, has a $40 million annual budget. The conference, about 5,000 people turned out, among the speakers, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. An AIPAC fact sheet about the conference said there were more members of Congress in attendance than almost any other event except for a joint session of Congress or a State of the Union Address. JUSTIN RAIMONDO: Well, you know, as you said, you know, it has legendary power. And it doesn't have to register as a foreign agent, even though its top officials are passing classified information on to Israel. And still, there's been no outcry to have them register. You know, you left out the Democratic Party, you know, leaders who were there. Nancy Pelosi gave a speech. All of these people gave speeches and they didn't mention a single word about this espionage investigation. Now, Mr. Rosen was Mr. AIPAC. That's what he was known as in Washington. He had been with them for over 20 years, and for him to be arrested, which is going to happen shortly, is just, you know, phenomenal. I mean, it's like, you know, well, you know, there's no comparison, really. You know, like for him to be arrested like this, you know, and named in this investigation is very incriminating, and I am appalled that, you know, Condi Rice and all of these, you know, like, leaders of both parties would actually show up at this conference. AMY GOODMAN: You know, at the same time, the First Lady, Laura Bush, has been in the Middle East, and one of the most serious protests she faced, where the protesters came closer to her than in any other situation, was those as she was going to the Wailing Wall, calling for Jonathan Pollard to be released. There wasn't a lot of attention to this in the media, or they didn't identify exactly who the protesters were. I was wondering if many thought they were Palestinian protesters, but is there a parallel here with what Jonathan Pollard did? JUSTIN RAIMONDO: Absolutely. You know, Pollard stole the crown jewels of the U.S. intelligence community, which was how we encrypt and how we spy on other countries, and so what he did was that he handed over this stuff to Israel, and Israel handed it over to the Soviet Union, and the Soviets executed dozens of U.S. agents inside the Soviet Union. But, you know, it's interesting that the Pollardites would confront Laura in the Holy Land, but here, you know, like, nobody is confronting the Pollardites. You know, they openly have this conference, and- AMY GOODMAN: Does AIPAC lobby for Jonathan Pollard to be released? JUSTIN RAIMONDO: Oh, yes. I mean, you know, that's an ongoing campaign. Reportedly, Ariel Sharon has been asking for his release. They're still pressing for that. You know, you do remember that Clinton almost let him go, and George Tenet threatened to resign along with a lot of other top government officials if Clinton did it, so Clinton backed down. I suspect that Bush would get the same reaction from the intelligence community today, though, you know, perhaps Mr. Sharon is now negotiating for Larry Franklin's release and whoever else is going to be arrested. AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about exactly what they found, the latest charges, the files in Larry Franklin's home? JUSTIN RAIMONDO: Well, it's very interesting. According to an affidavit by an FBI agent who investigated the case, some of the documents were listed as a Terrorism Situation Report from a Terrorism Threat Integration Center. And these were classified as top secret. Another document was from the CIA, and it talked about al-Qaeda. Another one talked about Osama bin Laden, and where he is. And then there was the famous policy memorandum on Iraq, but that seems less important. So, I mean, what was this guy doing? He had 83 documents in his house, top secret. Half of them were top secret. And so, he had a library of highly classified information. And the question was, where did he get all of this stuff, and what was he planning to do with it? And who was checking stuff out of this library, and for what purpose? So, I mean, Larry Franklin is the dorsal fin of a whale. And we're just seeing that dorsal fin hit the surface, but there's a lot under the water that still hasn't surfaced. Some of it will surface in this trial. But I expect other charges. You know, we have yet to see Mr. Rosen and Mr. Weissman either charged or indicted, but that's expected soon. I have an article, by the way, coming out in the American Conservative, which talks about this. AMY GOODMAN: And what is the response of the conservative community? JUSTIN RAIMONDO: Well, you know, it's very interesting because you have got neoconservatives who, you know, are almost like old-line communists who would always defend the Soviet Union no matter what, and you know. I mean, to this day, they say, oh, like, the Rosenbergs were innocent, when in fact they were guilty. So, you know, you have got this kind of party line "Israel can do no wrong," but then you have got real conservatives who are saying, "What's going on here? Why is Israel spying on us, and why are these people apologizing for it?" AMY GOODMAN: On that note, Justin Raimondo, I want to thank you for being with us.
