The FBI’s growing list of domestic threats has mutated in recent years to include every conceivable affiliation of Americans across the political spectrum: right-wing violent extremists, left-wing violent extremists, black identity extremists, and animal rights extremists. The current administration has even added nihilistic violent extremists—those who “believe in nothing”—to the laundry list. The Biden administration, for its part, aided in this exercise by vastly overstating the threat posed by Trump-aligned conservatives in the wake of January 6th. But neither Democratic nor Republican administrations have ever grandstanded about another significant threat group that the FBI secretly monitors on U.S. soil: Israeli Based Organized Crime Syndicates, or “IBOCS”.

Leaked FBI records and court filings detail widespread money laundering, taxpayer theft, and drug smuggling enterprises operated in the U.S. by Israeli citizens connected or belonging to Israeli crime groups. Despite the trickle of prosecutions over the past 25 years, the FBI has never publicly disclosed the fact that it has designated resources allocated to investigating these criminal organizations. ...

As far back as 2009, leaked State Department cables obtained by WikiLeaks detail one of the reasons why criminals belonging to or associated with Israeli crime families and syndicates have been able to operate inside America with ease: The State Department is not authorized to block their visas. The cables warn of the Israeli mafia taking on a growing role in the American trade of ecstasy, and of the loophole which prevents U.S. embassies from automatically denying Israeli crime figures travel documents.

While the State Department has formalized powers in its foreign affairs manual to restrict visas for Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza, the Italian mafia, the Hells Angels biker gangs, Outlaws, Bandidos, Mongols and two dozen Latin American gangs including Tren de Aragua, Israeli organized crime groups remain absent more than a decade after the State Department cable first warned of the Israeli mafia loophole. ...

A former FBI special agent who worked on investigations involving IBOCS told The American Conservative, “There is real Israeli organized crime in this country, and there is a formalized FBI program for investigating these groups,” adding that “they look for the success of other criminals and then try to build a better model on those.”

He also said, “Once you move beyond that and your target becomes more sophisticated, they are presumed to be intelligence operatives and operatives of the Israeli government and then that gets moved highside in the national security division.” ...

“It’s no secret that politics inevitably shapes enforcement priorities,” the agent said, explaining why the bureau has never highlighted its IBOCS enforcement. “This has not been a popular thing to wave around in the press, which is why you see a steady stream of prosecutions related to Israeli crime figures without the same discussion of organization that you might have with cartels or gangs.”

So politically unpopular is criticism of illegal activities by Israelis that repeated espionage efforts have been swept under the rug, or at the very least, restricted from public view. In 2019, POLITICO reported that intelligence officials suspected that Israel was behind the placement of cellphone surveillance devices planted around the White House and in other locations in Washington D.C. According to the report, the Israelis were not sanctioned with a formal reprimand from the State Department.

Another potential reason for the lack of visibility on IBOCS is the changing face of Israeli politics and the increasing proximity of organized crime figures to the ruling Likud party. Ten Likud officials chose to spend the Jewish holiday of Sukkot with convicted mobster Rafi Chaim-Kedoshim this year. In the past, members of Israel’s mafia families elected to parliament on the Likud line have attempted to use their positions to quash investigations in organized crime.

And that one reference was about Gates, not Trump.

I hope Massie will talk much, much more about the Epstein coverup.

Also, AmCon is shit. They thought they had the cultural moment and just got their ass handed to them by the Heritage blowback. Their Chief of Staff buddy that probably wrote Robert's reply is already out, and the Board at Heritage is just beginning the whoopass.

They're carrying on right now about Venezuela, I guess they think the Monroe Doctrine is the original ZOG policy.

I think they're right in that article though. Lots of Israelis are involved in US organized crime, and Jewish criminals in the US tend to flee to Israel, like Eddie Antar, "known as Crazy Eddie, fled to Israel in February 1990 to avoid prosecution after being indicted on securities fraud and illegal insider trading charges."

Why did Epstein run to Israel first when accusations came out? Ofcourse Mossad is implicated. Lots of wealthy Jews attached to him.

Israel and the United States have an extradition treaty. The original treaty was signed in 1962, and it has been amended, notably by a protocol signed in 2005, which expanded the scope of extraditable offenses and addressed conditions for the extradition process. Under this treaty, both countries agree to extradite persons charged with or convicted of offenses that are punishable by imprisonment for at least one year in both jurisdictions.
However, Israeli law generally prohibits the extradition of Israeli nationals. To address this conflict between domestic law and international treaty obligations, Israel’s extradition law was amended to allow extradition of its nationals only upon certain guarantees, such as the possibility for the individual to serve their sentence within Israel if convicted. The treaty and its amendments also contain provisions preventing extradition in cases like double jeopardy, expired statutes of limitation, or where extradition would violate public interest concerns.
Although the treaty obliges extradition, practical and legal challenges arise in implementation due to Israel’s protective stance on its citizens, often resulting in Israel prosecuting suspects domestically rather than extraditing them.
In summary, Israel and the U.S. do have a formal extradition treaty that allows for reciprocal extradition of criminals, but Israeli domestic law places restrictions on extraditing its nationals, requiring negotiations and legal guarantees for such cases.

Who are the world criminals now?
