Did the Israeli Lobby Stage a Coup Against the
Director of the CIA?
New York Times hints that the downfall of Petraeus was
politically-motivated

Motives Questioned in F.B.I. Inquiry of Petraeus E-Mails
By Scott Shane And Charlie Savage
WASHINGTON
— Is a string of angry e-mails really enough, in an age of boisterous online
exchanges, to persuade the F.B.I. to open a cyberstalking investigation?
...e-mails sent anonymously to Jill Kelley...prompted the
F.B.I. office in Tampa, Fla., to begin an investigation last June....The
inquiry traced the e-mails to Mr. Petraeus’s biographer, Paula Broadwell
...Some commentators have questioned whether the bureau would ordinarily investigate
a citizen complaint about unwanted e-mails, suggesting that there must have
been a hidden motive, possibly political, to take action.
...Ms. Kelley, a volunteer with wounded veterans and
military families, brought her complaint to a rank-and-file agent she knew from
a previous encounter with the F.B.I. office... Ms. Kelly was fairly prominent
in Tampa social circles and had previously had dealings with the F.B.I. agent
who took her complaint...That agent, who had previously pursued a friendship with
Ms. Kelley and had earlier sent her shirtless photographs of himself, was “just
a conduit” for the complaint, a law enforcement official said. He had no
training in cybercrime, was not part of the cyber squad handling the case and
was never assigned to the investigation...But the agent, who was not
identified, continued to “nose around” about the case...
Later, the agent became convinced — incorrectly, officials
say — that the case had stalled. Because of his “worldview,” as the official
put it, he suspected a politically motivated cover-up to protect President
Obama. The agent alerted Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, who called the
F.B.I. director, Robert S. Mueller III, on Oct. 31 to tell him of the agent’s
concerns. The official said the agent’s self-described “whistle-blowing” was “a
little embarrassing” but had no effect on the investigation. (End quote from
the New York Times online).
There’s definitely a hint in the preceding report by
the New York Times that Jill Kelley invites erotic responses from male
FBI agents, one of whom was an asset of a powerful Israeli lobbyist, Republican
Rep. Eric Cantor. On his own initiative this “shirtless” agent reported the
case to Cantor. The New York Times does not say if this FBI agent breeched
security by doing so.
Eric Cantor said “an F.B.I. employee whom his staff
described as a whistle-blower told him about Mr. Petraeus's affair and a
possible security breach in late October... 'I was contacted by an F.B.I.
employee concerned that sensitive, classified information may have been
compromised and made certain (FBI) Director Mueller was aware of these serious
allegations and the potential risk to our national security,' Mr. Cantor said
in a statement.” (New York
Times online, Nov. 11).
One wonders if Petraeus was set up, like Mordechai Vanunu;
only in this case Broadwell may have been a patsy: “On Monday night, F.B.I.
agents went to Ms. Broadwell’s home in Charlotte,
N.C., and were seen carrying away
what several reporters at the scene said were boxes of documents. A law
enforcement official said Ms. Broadwell had consented to the search” (New
York Times online, Nov. 12).
Her surrender of documents from her house without a search
warrant would appall any competent defense attorney. It is the action of a
scapegoat, or a person under some type of duress or mind control.
In 2010, General Petraeus fingered the Israeli-Palestine
conflict as making life difficult for US troops in the Middle East and Afghanistan. His
assessment violated the Israeli lobby’s sacred taboo against any such linkage:
“In March 2010, when Petraeus was still head of the US
Central Command, he gave testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee which
included this observation about one of the “challenges to security and
stability” faced by the United States:
"The enduring hostilities between Israel and some
of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our
interests in the AOR [Area of Operations]. Israeli-Palestinian tensions often
flare into violence and large-scale armed confrontations. The conflict foments
anti-American sentiment, due to a perception of U.S.
favoritism for Israel.
Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S.
partnerships with governments and peoples in the AOR and weakens the legitimacy
of moderate regimes in the Arab world...’
“Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) was so alarmed he issued a statement condemning Petraeus’ testimony,
asserting in part of it: ‘Gen. Petraeus has simply erred in linking the
challenges faced by the U.S. and coalition forces in the region to a solution
of the Israeli-Arab conflict, and blaming extremist activities on the absence
of peace and the perceived U.S. favoritism for Israel. This linkage is
dangerous and counterproductive.’
“....Obama appointed Petraeus as CIA director after
he made his Senate statement about Israel.” (Source: “When former CIA
chief David Petraeus enraged the Israel lobby” http://electronicintifada.net/

In this writer’s opinion, the Petraeus sex scandal may have
been intended to break during the presidential election campaign to embarrass
Obama and cost him votes. The fact that it became public only after Nov.
6 shows that Obama’s forces inside the Cryptocracy successfully kept it under
cover, and that’s some feat.
Nonetheless, there is a thinly-veiled message here for the
President of the United States from the wing of the Cryptocracy which opposes
him: we can bring you down too, if you don’t get on the Israeli bus and do the
bidding of the necon war lobby, at least to the extent that your base will
permit.
Of course, Petraeus should not have committed adultery. It
is certainly gravely wrong. A man who will betray his wife will betray his
country. But there are hundreds of high-level adulterers, to say nothing of
thousands of practicing sodomites, working in La Cesspool Grande (Washington D.C.),
who fornicate and sodomize with impunity. When one among this legion is singled
out it is prudent to ask why.
Observe that the Zionist New York Times is subtly
hinting at a possible conspiracy against Petraeus. By this means they display
to the world the intimidating power of The Lobby. They don’t mind suggesting
that Petraeus was deposed by hidden forces, knowing that informed observers are
aware that Petraeus bucked the Israelis at one point in his career, and that’s
all it takes for the axe to fall.
Unless serious investigative reporting and Congressional
hearings dig up the conspirators behind this honey trap, we see in the Petraeus
scandal a case of the Israeli lobby flexing its muscle on the national stage.
The warning to Obama and his allies is unmistakable: pay and obey -- or else.
It’s the old mobster’s dictum and that’s who Petraeus and company are dealing
with -- hoodlum grandees with the power to ruin the director of America’s
Central Intelligence Agency.
Think about the kind of clout this represents and then ask
yourself, does anyone in gentile America have the power to depose
the director of Mossad? Not bloody likely.
Petraeus was brought down in a coup d’etat. He is fortunate
it happened like this, rather than in that other classic gangland sendoff, the
arranged “accident” -- the chemically-induced heart attack; the automobile with
“defective” brakes that sails off a cliff, or a strategic shove, like the one
that led to the defenestration of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal in 1949.
