We saw this with Jonathan Pollard.

But I think that 622 of the Intel Authorization Act, that already went through the Senate.

That May 20th, is my understanding, is it got out of the Senate.

So now it's waiting for the next phases of the legislation process.

But nobody really paid attention to it.

Everybody was talking about the NDAA, which is why I went back.

And I see that Paul Pillar went back and was like, wait a second.

The bigger issue here is if you fuse, which is what this calls for, the intelligence sharing.

So it's basically elevating the Mossad and Israeli intelligence services from what's known as a transactional partner, where it's limited and finite what we give them because we recognize that they're an espionage threat, and you elevate them to a trusted partner on the level of the Five Eyes.

So that's UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada.

Um, and they basically become like one of the members of the, the Anglosphere.

Now I have my own problems with Five Eyes going back to Russiagate, but ultimately, ultimately the fact is, uh, I trust the British more than I trust the Israelis when it comes to Intel sharing.

Uh, I trust the Canadians more than, you know, the, the Israelis and we now have that DIA report claiming that they are, uh,

a critical counterintelligence threat, which puts them on the same level as Russian and Chinese intelligence services.

And this act by the Senate, if it goes through all the way, and I think it might, because nobody's talking about it except me and you and a couple other people, if this thing goes through, Israeli intelligence is now its open kimono for the Israeli intelligence.

They don't have to ask anymore.

They just gain access.

Sure.

Yeah, and I mentioned that in my essay too, which is that another thing, because it becomes an act of Congress, right now it's an executive agreement, a series of executive agreements between the United States and the Israelis.

So if a president wants to say, turn off the spigot a little bit more in intel sharing with Israel because of how much of a prevalent counterintelligence threat it is,
