One Suspicious Article: American Spies, Investigating Israel’s Nuke Arsenal; But Not Iran Or North Korea?

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Now this is indeed quite suspicous on what I stumbled upon as it seems that American spies from within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are trying to see the sort of number of Israel’s allege nuclear arsenal which estimates from Donald Rumsfeld to Jimmy Carter range from about 80-200 nuclear warheads. Suspicious here is to certainly describe the word on why it seems the same American intelligence circles can not account for the number of nuclear arsenal which North Korea has or even allege Iranian nuclear arsenal which an Iranian nuclear weapon was allegedly tested back earlier in October this year.

Sounds oddly suspicious that American spies would concentrate more on allies than concentrating on foes:

‘US spies on Israel’s nuclear program’
By JPOST.COM STAFF

The United States routinely attempts to gather information on Israel’s assumed atomic arsenal and secret government deliberations, a new official history of Israel’s intelligence services, reviewed by Reuters, says.

While espionage by allies on their friends is not uncommon, a new Israeli state-sponsored publication acknowledges it openly.

The book “Masterpiece: An Inside Look at Sixty Years of Israeli Intelligence,” claims American spy agencies use technologies like electronic eavesdropping, and specially trained staff located in the US embassy in Tel Aviv, for “methodical intelligence gathering.”

“The United States has been after Israel’s non-conventional capabilities and what goes on at the decision-making echelons,” says the book in a chapter on counter-espionage written by Barak Ben-Zur, a retired Shin Bet officer.

Asked about the assertions, the US embassy spokesman said only: “We don’t comment on intelligence matters.”

Israel is widely believed to have been armed with nuclear weapons since the late 1960s, but a policy of “strategic ambiguity” has prevented state officials in the know to confirm or deny the claims.

Declassified Pentagon documents published in a 2004 book about then US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld estimated that Israel had 80 nuclear warheads. Last May, former US President Jimmy Carter put the number of Israeli bombs at around 150. The estimates on Israel’s nuclear arsenal range from about 80 to more than 200, as do estimates on its launching capabilities, which apart from ballistic missiles may or may not include special custom-designed torpedoes.

Ben-Zur declined to give Reuters operational details on how the United States might be conducting its espionage on Israel. But he described the effort as largely benign, given the closeness of defense ties between Israel and Washington.

“At the end of the day, the United States does not want to be surprised,” he said. “Even by us.”

Due out later this month, “Masterpiece” is published by the Israel Intelligence Heritage and Commemoration Center and includes prefaces by chiefs of Israel’s military intelligence, the domestic Shin Bet and the Mossad spy service active abroad.
