Ben Zygier's Affect

Zygier reportedly collected legitimate Australian passports for the Mossad.

(ST. AUGUSTINE, FL) - The bizarre case of Prisoner X is a security and moral disaster for Israel. Incredibly, it solves one issue. How could a ten man Mossad assassination team be so thoroughly exposed?

On January 19, 2010, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, one of the founders of Hamas's military wing, the Izz al-Din Qassam Brigades, was assassinated in a hotel room in Dubai. The event is attributed to the Mossad to the extent that Lt Gen Dahi Khalfan, Dubai's Police Chief, said that Interpol should issue a red notice to approve the arrest of Meir Dagan, back then the Mossad's Director.

It turns out that one of the planners of the hit, an Israeli-Australian, for reasons thoroughly not analyzed, got on a plane and sought immunity in Dubai. Yes, Zygier turned himself over to the Arabs, forcing Israel to kidnap him from Dubai and return him to Israel. What a movie that would make.

Dubai's police success was the result of a regretful Ben Zygier approaching them and coming clean. He was given immunity in exchange for the data he provided on the assassination. Subsequently, he went underground, was caught by the Mossad two months later, brought to Israel, and jailed in the X-Wing of the Ayalon Prison in complete secrecy, to the extent that he was provided with a fake identity.

For three years Zygier was unknown to Israelis because of a gag order placed on the media.

Until yesterday, a court ruling by Judge Hilah Gerstel, President of the Tel Aviv District Court forbid Israeli media to publish details of the affair.

But this past February 12, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), aired a documentary that exposed Zygier's incarceration and hinted at his murder 10 months later. The gag order was overcome and the Knesset finally acknowledged the Zygier affair.

Yesterday, the affair was acknowledged by the Knesset and today even images from the X-Wing cell were published by local tabloids.

Zygier was incarcerated in a supposedly suicide-proof cell which previously housed the patsy for the Rabin murder, Yigal Amir. One day he was visited by an attorney, Avigdor Feldman. He turned down a plea bargain deal and the next day he hanged himself in his suicide-proof cell.

Mahmoud al-Mabhouh

"He wanted to clear his name," said Feldman, who'd presented Zygier with a possible plea-bargain deal. "He was very rational and focused. He did not seem suicidal."
Feldman wouldn't reveal the terms of the plea bargain, but he said Zygier had felt that it burdened him with crimes he didn't commit.

The consensus is that one of Zygier's roles was to collect legitimate Australian passports for the Mossad. Passports are a huge deal in the Mossad and I have something to contribute:

In 1979, Michael Oren and I were drafted into the Israeli army on the same day, arrived at the Bakkum Induction Center on the same bus, and became really good buddies in the two days we waited until we were assigned separate units. I ended up a sand-eating drudge and he got the best the army could offer, induction into the Mossad.

Michael Oren

Michael looked tall, blond and gentile, so he was given a press card from the Kansas City Star, and toured Middle Eastern capitals as a journalist, not for Kansas, but for Israel. After our service ended, we met and, while I could only describe a bland time in the military, he described his tours of Iraq and Syria, the risks of being discovered, looking down on the Galilee from the Syrian POV, and, I remember this point most clearly, how good the food was in Damascus. Needless to add, he is now Israel's ambassador to Washington.

ABC's documentary director Jason Katsoukis first discovered Zygier in a false passport front.

The source put him on the scent of three dual Israeli-Australian citizens, who, according to the source, worked for a Mossad-owned shell company operating in Europe; the company's business was selling electronic equipment to Iran and others. 
"The story was that Mossad was recruiting Australians to spy for them using a front company in Europe," he told The Guardian. "It all seemed too good to be true."
To Katsoukis' surprise, "What I was told seemed to check out. The company did exist."

Half the Dubai hitmen carried Australian passports and this led to a serious diplomatic row with Israel. At any rate, the passport issue became the preferred Israeli pretext for Zygier's demise.

Semi-formally, Israel claims that Zygier had met with Australian Intelligence and gave them secret details about Israel's use of Australian passports, to the extent that he was also accused of being a double-agent. Israel claims that on December 15, Zygier hanged himself.

For the conventional story, read the original ABC report:

abc.net.au/news/2013-02-12/prisoner-x-foreign-correspondent/4514806?WT.svl=news0

But know, ABC missed a whole other side of Israel. Start with the peculiar fact that on the day the ABC piece was broadcast, look at the activities of a scared President. He runs to Zygier's cell;

Peres: Yigal Amir will Rot in Jail

President Peres visits prisoners, says one prisoner in particular will never be forgiven.
By Maayana Miskin
First Publish: 2/12/2013, 4:42 PM
President Shimon Peres visited the Ayalon prison in Ramle on Tuesday morning. He spoke to prisoners and toured some of the prison's facilities for education and rehabilitation.
During the tour Peres spoke about the prisoners who may appeal to him for a presidential pardon. For one prisoner in particular, Yigal Amir, there will never be a pardon, he said.

      Now look at the reactions of my readers:

Surprise, surprise, Shimon Peres 'happened '[ to visit the Ayalon Prison. I am sure Peres cares so much about prisoners, doesn't he. No connection whatsoever with this case, of course.
I wonder what that poor man from Australia discovered about Shimon Peres, why Peres had to 'terminate' him.
I also wonder why his family did not look for him from Australia. Really strange. maybe they were threatened if they did.

So I think it is a moral obligation to expose this story to the Israeli public.  After all a Jewish man died in jail, a helpless victim of cruel jailers, whether by suicide or murder, most likely murder, let's remember that.

A generation ago, murdering a snitch for the greater good was the accepted philosophy of the ruling Labor Zionists. But Israel has changed. We won't put up with sending our sons to a Jewish governmental organization that murders him. If he was a rat, then he'll be tried like anyone else and a court will sentence him for being a squealer. Zyglier was 34 when he died and had two young children. They don't have their father because Labor lives on in the internal security agency, the Shin Bet, in the filth of the Forensic Institute, in the Mossad. They were all in on Zygier's demise, whether by his own hand as claimed by Israel, or whether his hand was shoved, as believed by everyone else.
     Read my, Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin, to get the full picture:

     Reaction to: Another source who is familiar with the incarceration process said the Shin Bet security service is responsible for security detainees, adding that the "Prison Service has almost no control" over the cells in the isolated wards, "despite the fact that the Prison Service is legally responsible for the prisoners."It's a situation whereby there is a prison inside a prison.

Was predictable, even though the writers were surely, Right Wing Israelis.

The man was fine according to his lawyer the day before he died. He was INTERROGATED BY THE SHABAK the day he died.

In retrospect, even if we dislike the thought, why should Jews overseas continue to support a State that is led by a group of self serving criminals?

Those who read Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin were undoubtedly impressed by the evidence that Shimon Peres cooked up the Rabin murder hand in hand with Shabak Chief Carmi Gillon. And who whitewashed the Rabin autopsy by denying the findings of every single doctor and nurse who had treated him? Why coroner Dr. Yehuda Hiss. Three years ago, the head of the Israeli Forensic Institute was Hiss:

An autopsy was conducted by the Israeli Forensic Institute which issued a death certificate listing the cause of death as asphyxiation by hanging in the name of Ben Alon. Also found was a second Australian passport in the name of Ben Alon.

Hiss and phoney suicides have a lively history:

On April 14, 1998, 47 year old Alisdair Sinclair, was stopped by customs officials at Ben Gurion Airport on his way out of the country after a six day stay. They found 9000 Deutsche marks in a false bottom of his handbag and he was arrested without charge. The police thought the false bottom suggested something illegal though hiding a large amount of money is a legitimate means of thwarting theft.
    At the airport police station, Sinclair was found strangling on his shoelaces. He was rushed to hospital and pronounced dead. From there his body was transferred to the Abu Kabir Institute For Forensic Medicine and straight into the paws of Dr. Yehuda Hiss, who conducted an autopsy which concluded that Sinclair had killed himself... On May 13, another autopsy was conducted, at the University of Glasgow and guess what? The hyoid bone at the base of the tongue was missing and so was the heart. Both were removed by Dr. Hiss. But why?

And then there is the Mossad:

I hear that some group wants Peres to try to get Pollard out.  Are they that stupid?
That is what Peres wants the least.

Rafi Eitan, Jonathan Pollard's Mossad handler who threw him to the dogs, defends the mortal treatment of Zygier:

Former senior Mossad official Rafi Eitan said, Friday morning, that there may be more people in the Israeli prison system whose identities are not known.
Interviewed on Israel Defense Forces Radio regarding the case of Prisoner X, later identified as Australian-Israeli Ben Zygier, the former minister of pensioners' affairs explained, "We live in a country in a continuous war, requiring the use of this method. There may be more Prisoners X in the country."

What Eitan doesn't get is we Israelis have changed for good. But you're still running our show.

I'm writing to get you to order my new book The Stinger Not The Stung. You know I try to give the best deal, but look at my problem:   

     The US Post Office, raised the postage of Parcel Post by $7. for outside the US, to $24. JUST FOR POSTAGE.
     THIS COULD RUIN ME. Who will order my books from outside the US now?

In the States, with internal postal hikes, I can ship you a copy for $35, which is 50% higher than I began. Outside the US, I have to figure out a new way to make the book worth much more than you are willing to pay. And this is a book you will value. I've received dozens of hugely complimentary comments from readers. Here is one just from today:

Dear Barry,
Because of my busy schedule I can only read part of your book at a time and now I've gotten to page 120. Each page becomes more and more incredible. This must be made into a movie! The entire world needs to know the type of corruption that is going on behind the smiling faces on TV. What you have laid out and have provided evidence of in the bibliographies for each chapter is so astounding that only through that proof would anybody believe these things. But they are as true as can be and they're equally frightening. I am glad such reputable people as Dr. Stan and Joel Skousen and have spoken so highly of your work as do I and I'm just a nobody. But I can tell you one thing, the entire world MUST see this this book's statements and it needs to be sold everywhere possible.   You need to go on every possible radio show worldwide if, not only to speak of Israel, but to let people know everywhere of the rampant corruption with governments all over the world. The absolute slime of the furniture salesman and those who conspired to move the 3% in his direction and so many other things you mentioned (like Vatican involvement and Peres) are  too long to go into need to and must be displayed for the world to take notice. Now you and I are of the same tribe, if you know what I mean, and it makes me sick as an American to think that we have in America the dumbest people certainly in this galaxy, those would be the other members of our tribe who live in New York City. Is it possible to measure the stupidity of the way these people vote?
This is just a brief comment as I am working my way through your book anticipating when I have more time to go through the rest. You've done great work with this and I sure hope you continue.
Thi time is for you and you are making a difference very few can. Thank God!
Best regards and L'Chaim!
A big fan

   But outside the US, I had to employ tricks. I can fit more than a book in a Parcel Post envelope. I can fit another $100 worth of my best DVDs as well as the book, all for $100 payable over time if desired. Here's what you get for this:

My new book, The Stinger Not The Stung.
 I am a feature player in a new 3 hour long DVD called Clear And Present Danger. While I was visiting Atlanta, director Steve Stavro filmed me discussing the Vatican and its relationship to Israel. Somehow I fit into the film, which is a serious expose of the Vatican sect, the Jesuits. The most compelling and disturbing sections are the convincing arguments that American Presidents such as Adams, Jefferson, Monroe, Lincoln and Kennedy were all murdered by the Jesuits. My role is not so grandiose. I tell how Israel is manipulated by the Vatican. Previously, I sent each copy for $25 plus postage, meaning $28 for America, $30 for out of the US.
  And I'll add DVDs of my own free: Choose Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin from either Salt Lake City or Atlanta, or in Hebrew along with a separate lecture called Save Israel (Hatzeelu Et Yisrael) where my Vatican research is explained in our original tongue. Or I can add my recent 2 hour interview with Italian TV, or my, The Vatican's Secret War For Jerusalem, or my famous Shabtai Tzvi, Labor Zionism And The Holocaust. I'll add as many DVDs as I can stuff in a Parcel Post envelope for you.

   I used all the business tricks I could think of to make ordering The Stinger Not The Stung worthwhile for you in the face of an ugly new postal atrocity.
