US Defensive Tactic: Lying about Enemy Nukes

US Defensive Tactic is to Lie about Enemy Nuclear Strike Capabilities

Other US Traitors are in Denial of Sibel's Testimony

Edmonds claims that much of the Pentagon information found its way into the hands of both Israeli and Turkish operatives through the State Department, courtesy of Marc Grossman, then assistant secretary of state for political affairs, the third-highest ranking member at State. As she described in her Aug. 8 testimony, "certain people from Pentagon would send a list of individuals with access to sensitive data, whether weapons technology or nuclear technology, and this information would include all their sexual preference, how much they owed on their homes, if they have gambling issues, and [Grossman] would provide it to these foreign operatives, and those foreign operatives would go and hook those Pentagon people."

Robert S. Tyrer, co-president of The Cohen Group, a Washington lobbying firm where Grossman is now a vice chairman, told Military.com in an email that Edmonds' allegations against the former ambassador "are completely untrue and ludicrous."

After seven years of silence, Edmonds said she was glad to be able to finally divulge some of what she had been forced to keep in, but she doubted any government agency would seriously pursue her claims. There is no indication the current Justice Department is reopening an investigation, she said, and neither politicians nor mainstream media have shown an interest.

"I did it [testified] under oath," she said. "I have a very successful financial life, I've been married 18 years. I have a family, I have a daughter, I have a lot to lose. I'd have to be either mentally insane or someone who doesn't have anything to lose, [who] just makes allegations and lies under oath," to claim these things if they were not true.

One of Edmonds' believers is John M. Cole, a former FBI counterintelligence analyst and author of "While America Sleeps: An FBI Whistleblower's Story." Cole, who worked for the bureau 18 years and now works for the Defense Intelligence Agency at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., said the pattern of espionage described by Edmonds is familiar to him.

"In the 1990s I was responsible for Western Europe and Israel [counterintelligence cases]," Cole told Military.com. "We did have ongoing investigations of officials in the State Department and also the Department of Defense." And he said cases did extend outside the Pentagon, to various Air Force Bases and the RAND Corp. - something Edmonds also stated in her testimony.

According to Edmonds, those sought out by Turkish and Israeli agents might actually be working outside the Pentagon. As a result, she testified, the foreign operatives managed to put on their payroll individuals "on almost every major nuclear facility in the United States, RAND Corporation and ... various Air Force labs that develop certain weapons technology."
...
"There is a black market for everything, including for nuclear-related information, weapons technology, she told Military.com.

The FBI and the DoD Have Evened Up the Playing Field

After they sold US nuclear secrets to Pakistan, the nuclear bomb production took off. Now, WMD are almost a commodity. The bombs are so miniaturized, a freedom fighter can deliver them by hand to any destination. I call them the great equalizer. If a drone destroys an Afghan family, a survivor can nuke Las Vegas [control center for drones]. The DoD might rethink its strategy.
As a Jew, I have never hunted animals. If other people hunt, I would feel better about it if the prey had equal chances of killing the hunter.

In similar fashion, the treacherous US Government Agencies have tired of propping up Third World countries to be believable threats to US national security. Since nuclear proliferation has increased, it is more and more likely somebody will topple the US Empire.
