The Iraqi MiG-21 ‘007’ arrived Israel during operation ‘Diamond’. It was an operation undertaken by the Mossad. Its goal was the acquisition of a Soviet-built Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21, the most advanced Soviet fighter plane at that time. The operation began in mid-1963 and ended on August 16, 1966, when an Iraqi Air Force MiG-21, flown by the Iraqi Assyrian defector Munir Redfa, landed at Hatzor air base in Israel. Israel and the United States were able to study the design of the plane. Soon after his defection, Redfa’s MiG was renumbered 007, reflecting the manner in which it had arrived. Within a few weeks the aircraft took off again with Israeli test pilot Danny Shapira at the controls, on the first of many test flights. The jet’s strengths and weaknesses were analyzed and it was flown against IAF fighters, eventually training Israeli pilots to deal with the aircraft. In May 1967 director of CIA Richard Helms said that Israel had proven that it had made good use of the aircraft, when on April 7, 1967, during aerial battles over the Golan Heights, the Israeli Air Force brought down 6 Syrian MiG-21s without losing any of its Dassault Mirage IIIs. -
Deep Events and the CIA's Global Drug Connection
Peter Dale Scott Deep Events and the Global Drug Connection August 17, 2008 Deep Events and the CIA’s Global Drug Connection by Peter Dale Scott Introduction Recently I published two articles pointing to suggestive similarities between the recurring deep events in recent American history – those events which, because of their intelligence aspects, are ignored, misrepresented, or covered up in the American media. The first article pointed to overall similarities in many deep events since World War II. The second pointed to surprising points of comparison in the two deep events which were followed shortly by major U.S. wars: the John F. Kennedy assassination and 9/11. In the background of all these events, I suggested, was recurring evidence of the milieu “combining intelligence officials with elements from the drug-trafficking underworld.”1 In this essay I shall first attempt to lay out the complex geography or network of that milieu, which I call the global drug connection, and its connections to what has been called an “alternative” or “shadow” CIA. I shall then show how this network, of banks, financial agents of influence, and the alternative CIA, contributed to the infrastructure of the Kennedy assassination and a series of other, superficially unrelated, major deep events. In this narrative, the names of individuals, their institutions, and their connections are relatively unimportant. What matters is to see that such a milieu existed; that it was on-going, well-connected, and protected; and that, with increasing independence from governmental restraint, it played a role in major deep events in the last half century. -
Appendix: Nixon's Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 “Though His Working Life Has Been Passed Chiefly on the Far Shores of the C
Appendix: Nixon’s Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 “Though his working life has been passed chiefly on the far shores of the continent, close by the Pacific and the Atlantic, some emotion always brings Richard Nixon back to the Caribbean waters off Key Biscayne and Florida.”—T. H. White, The Making of the President, 19681 Richard Nixon, like millions of other Americans, enjoyed Florida and the nearby islands of Cuba and the Bahamas as refuges where he could leave behind his many cares and inhibitions. But he also returned again and again to the region as an important ongoing source of political and financial support. In the process, the lax ethics of its shadier operators left its mark on his career. This Sunbelt frontier had long attracted more than its share of sleazy businessmen, promoters, and politicians who shared a get-rich-quick spirit. In Florida, hustlers made quick fortunes selling worthless land to gullible northerners and fleecing vacationers at illegal but wide-open gambling joints. Sheriffs and governors protected bookmakers and casino operators in return for campaign contributions and bribes. In nearby island nations, as described in chapter 4, dictators forged alliances with US mobsters to create havens for offshore gambling and to wield political influence in Washington. Nixon’s Caribbean milieu had roots in the mobster-infested Florida of the 1940s. He was introduced to that circle through banker and real estate investor Bebe Rebozo, lawyer Richard Danner, and Rep. George Smathers. Later this chapter will explore some of the diverse connections of this group by following the activities of Danner during the 1968 presidential campaign, as they touched on Nixon’s financial and political ties to Howard Hughes, the South Florida crime organization of Santo Trafficante, and mobbed-up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and Miami. -
Collateral Damage: U.S. Covert Operations and the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001
Collateral Damage: U.S. Covert Operations and the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001 On September 11, 2001 the definition of National Security changed for most U.S. citizens. For an entire postwar generation, “National Security” meant protection from nuclear attack. On that day, Americans redefined that threat. On September 11, 2001 three hijacked airliners hit three separate buildings with such precision and skill that many observers believe those flights were controlled by something other than the poorly trained hijackers in the cockpits. This report contends that not only were the buildings targets, but that specific offices within each building were the designated targets. These offices unknowingly held information which if exposed, subsequently would expose a national security secret of unimaginable magnitude. Protecting that secret was the motivation for the September 11 th attacks. This report is about that national security secret: its origins and impact. The intent of the report is to provide a context for understanding the events of September 11 th rather than to define exactly what happened that day. Initially, it is difficult to see a pattern to the destruction of September 11 th other than the total destruction of the World Trade Center, a segment of the Pentagon, four commercial aircraft and the loss of 2,993 lives. However, if the perceived objective of the attack is re-defined from its commonly suggested ‘symbolic’ designation as either ‘a terrorist attack’ or a ‘new Pearl Harbor,’ and one begins by looking at it as purely a crime with specific objectives (as opposed to a political action), there is a compelling logic to the pattern of destruction. -

Moszad-Műveletek a Technológiai Fölény Megtartásáért
HADTUDOMÁNYI SZEMLE 13. évfolyam (2020) 1. szám 91–101. • DOI: 10.32563/hsz.2020.1.7 Király István Mihály1 Moszad-műveletek a technológiai fölény megtartásáért Mossad Operations in the Interest of Keeping Technological Supremacy Absztrakt Izrael egy fiatal, kis ország, amelyet megalakulása óta számtalan veszély fenyeget. Az ellen- séges szomszédok jelenléte és nyomasztó létszámbeli fölénye miatt a zsidó államnak két aspektusból mindenképpen az ellenségei előtt kellett és kell járnia: az egyik az információ, a másik a technológia. Ez az írás három esettanulmány bemutatásával vizsgálja, hogyan kapcsolódott össze e két terület az ország eddigi történelme során, és hogy miként tudta megőrizni Izrael Állam az ellenségeivel szemben kiemelten fontos technológiai fölényét a megfelelő információknak és titkosszolgálati műveleteinek köszönhetően. Kulcsszavak: Moszad, Izrael, Irak, Mig-21, Gerald Bull, atombomba Abstract Israel is a young, small country that has been endangered by countless dangers since its foundation. Due to the presence of hostile neighbours and their overwhelming superiority regarding manpower, the Jewish state must be ahead of its enemies in two aspects: infor- mation and technology. This paper examines how these two areas have been linked in the country’s history so far, and how the State of Israel has been able to maintain its technologi- cal superiority over its enemies due to adequate information and secret service operations.
