Kurdistan's Covert Back-Channels
How an ex-Mossad chief, a German uberspy, and a gaggle of top-dollar GOP lobbyists helped Kurdistan snag 15 tons of $100 bills.
So I was intrigued when, last summer, I read in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that Shlomi Michaels had become the subject of an Israeli government investigation for allegedly operating in Iraq without the required authorization from the Israeli authorities. Not only had I known about Michaels for two years, I had spent about as long trying to understand if the Bush administration would embrace the regime-change policy of its Iran hawks, who believe that the solution to Irans nuclear ambitions is to promote mass uprisings of ethnic minority and dissident groups such as the Kurds.
For much of the past year, I have been digging into the story of Shlomi Michaels operations in Kurdistan, and his connections in Israel, the United States, and around the world. My investigation took me to Israel early last fall, shortly after the Israeli war with Hezbollah, to talk with Israeli officials investigating Michaels, as well as one of Michaels long-time American associates, and Michaels business partner, the former Mossad chief Danny Yatom.
What I found was not the story I had expected. Instead of Michaels being part of a covert operation to set up anti-Iranian proxies in Kurdish Iraq, I discovered that Michaels and his associates were part of an effort by the Kurds and their allies to lobby the West for greater power in Iraq, and greater clout in Washington, and at the same time, by a group of Israeli ex security officials to rekindle good relations with their historical allies the Kurds through joint infrastructure, economic development, and security projects. It was, in other words, a story about influence-building, buying, and profit, albeit with subplots that were equal parts John le Carre and Keystone Kops, and a cast of characters ranging from ex-Mossad head Yatom to a former German superspy, with Israeli counterterrorism commandos, Kurdish political dynasties, powerful American lobbyists, Turkish business tycoons thrown innot to mention millions of dollars stashed in Swiss bank accounts.
Yatom met me in the lobby of the Tel Aviv Sheraton at 7:30am on a Sunday, the beginning of Israels work week. The ex-Mossad chief turned Labor Party member of parliament was on his way to his office at the Knesset after a stop at the gym, dressed casually in a white button down shirt and black jeans. He spoke openly about his business relationship with Shlomi Michaels and the Kurdish venture theyd developed together, noting that he was no longer involved in its operations; after being elected to the Knesset in 2003, hed put his business interests in a blind trust, as required by Israeli law.
The weapons of gross destruction we're speaking of here that killed well over 6 million Jewish during the World War, causing SARS, plagues, illnesses, and then killing over 100,000 Sephardic which were still being killed by 2006, millions of Russian Jewry still being killed by 2006, real Israelite lines, and over another 40 million Jewish attacked each day by paid representative manchurian bombers from 1948 to present, making just enough millions more in religous cults for organized crime. We can see how by this aticle, and the daily deaths in Israel since 1948 under those taking the money and all under 'Human Testing' shelves and layers with racketeering. No mention at all of thousands of recent jewish murders or the tortured or even the millions of Jewish children on current 'mental health' and 'eugenics' lists. Why such babble over totally controlled operations each day for racketeering keeps everyone abliss.
