Why is the U.S. building a gigantic military base on the West Bank border?

[NVMojo]

July 27, 2005



The sudden appearance south of Rosh Ha'ayin of a massive army "supply base," built by the U.S. army engineering corps for the IDF with Arab workers, has raised eyebrows and suspicions about the real purpose and intended users of the massive facility.

According to an IDF spokesman, the new base (dubbed "Nachshonim," after a nearby kibbutz) and located less than 10 minutes east of Ben Gurion airport, will be used as a storage facility for reservists' equipment, including beds, uniforms, etc.

Still, the base's massive size -- dozens of huge warehouses, with reinforced bunkers, watchtowers, and tunnels -- casts a shadow of doubt over this singular explanation for its use.

3. Perhaps they were planning to do this in Iraq but they realize

now that movement in Iraq will always be insecure?

4. Nope, According to the article the projects started in 1998. /nt

6. Thanks - I was wondering when they started, the construction

looked pretty far along. So it started when Clinton was still in office.

5. The project began in 1998,

as a result of the Wye River Agreement signed by former PM Netanyahu (with Ariel Sharon his foreign minister at the time) and Yasser Arafat, with physical construction beginning in 2001. Construction is scheduled for completion by the beginning of 2006.

According to a 2001 report in The Jerusalem Post, the base is the second of five the U.S. has pledged to build -- at an initial expected total cost of $266 million -- to set up alternatives to IDF bases in the West Bank slated for possible transfer to the Palestinians. under the Wye Memorandum, the U.S. agreed to fund infrastructure costs.

Isn't that interesting? We are footing the bill.

7. and that is scarier then hell ...makes the closing of the US base

in Uzbekistan more interesting if you ask me ....

did you read the post under the article:

A new ear for Echelon
mind_the_gap - TLV, Israel
07/28/2005 13:50 IT It makes sense. With Iran building up a nuclear arsenal, Syria as a launching pad for attacks into Iraq, and Pakistan and Afghanistan breeding grounds for global terror Israel is right in the middle, ideally positioned to gather intel and as the next battlefield...

ECHELON is the largest Signals intelligence and analysis network for intercepting electronic communications. ECHELON can capture radio and satellite communications, telephone calls, faxes and e-mails nearly anywhere in the world and includes computer automated analysis and sorting of intercepts. ECHELON is estimated to intercept up to 3 billion communications every day.

The constituent agencies are:

* United States - National Security Agency (NSA)
* United Kingdom - Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)
* Canada - Communications Security Establishment (CSE)
* Australia - Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) <1>

12. Barry Chamish busting a Big Secret - Kramer and the Single Golf Ball

1. http://www.barrychamish.com/ - Chamish's vanity web site --

a. "In 1954, Malchiel Greenwald was sued for slander by Ben Gurion's Labour (Mapai) government. He had printed a newsletter accusing the Industry Minister, Rudolph Kastner of collaborating with the Nazis to murder a million Hungarian Jews. As the trial went on, Malchiel's attorney proved that Kastner was merely following the dictates of Ben Gurion and his cronies. It would not be long before the trail of collaboration led right to the doorstep of the ruling Labour Party; and this Israel's leaders would not allow. So the following steps were taken as described by Ben Hecht in his brilliant, suppressed book Perfidy."

b. "AMIR DID NOT MURDER RABIN AND NOW IT'S A PROVEN FACT - Within this article are the conclusive proofs that Amir did not shoot real bullets at Rabin. As I've been saying for six years now, he shot blanks. For those who read Hebrew, please click here and see for yourselves, For those who don't, here's what it says:..."

c. "There may be a dozen people in Israel with the power and influence to have organized the Rabin assassination. Of these, only Shimon Peres has direct ties to the main actors of the murder. Consider the most likely of the plotters:

Carmi Gillon - Head of the Shabak (Security Services) at the time of the assassination. Despite being forced out of office for incompetence by the Shamgar Commission Of Inquiry, Peres appointed him chairman of his peace center.

Yoram Rubin - Triggerman of the murder. Despite being head of Rabin's personal bodyguards, those which failed to protect him, on the very night of Rabin's murder Peres appointed him to be head of his bodyguard unit.

Menachem Damti- Rabin's last chauffeur, whose trip to Ichilov Hospital took twenty times longer than it should have. In fact, Rabin cancelled his regular driver Yeheskiel Sharabi 90 minutes before the fatal rally and he was replaced by Damti, who was the regular driver of Shimon Peres.

d. "The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin is a solvable crime. It begins not in Tel Aviv, but in Hebron. There, in March 1994, another horrid crime was perpetrated. Twenty nine Arabs were slaughtered in the Cave of the Patriarchs, and a commission of inquiry was set up to get to the truth. It was led by the former chief justice of the Israeli Supreme Court, Meir Shamgar, who would later head the commission of inquiry into Rabin's death. And like the latter case, the Hebron commission was a blatant whitewash. The very day of the massacre, an Arab reporter for the weekly news magazine Yerushalaim visited 25 survivors in six separate hospitals. There was no time for these victims, some of them mere children, to organize a conspiracy or coordinate their testimony. One after another they reported that the man accused of the crime -- Baruch Goldstein -- had at least one, perhaps two, accomplices. A dozen of these survivors testified to the Shamgar Commission that they saw an accomplice handing the shooter bullet clips as his ran out. And like the Rabin murder, strangely, nine of the soldiers who were supposed to guard the shrine were not on duty that morning. The three that were testified that they saw Goldstein enter followed a few minutes later by a civilian carrying a Galil assault weapon."

US Army Corps of Engineers PR Release --

"Part of the memorandum required that Israel relocate certain Israeli Defense Forces from the West Bank to new facilities to include state-of-the-art training and vehicle/equipment storage bases in Israel. The IPO is managing construction of two infantry training bases, one in the Negev desert near Beersheva and the other north of Hadera, the massive 205-building Nachshonim Division Storage Base project located on 400 acres east of Tel Aviv, and two other critical facilities. Additionally, the IPO is managing the construction of $23 million in Foreign Military Sales (FMS) projects for the Israeli Ministry of Defense not related to Wye River."

Barry Chamish busts a big secret. More like Cosmo Kramer (of the Jerry Seinfled Show) and the single golf ball theory.
