Here’s How Israeli Zionists Control American Foreign Policy In The Middle East
US Aid: $10,600,000 per Day to Israel
Lawsuits, FOIAs and Administrative Filings
What is the Center for Policy and Law? IRmep research has revealed important laws are routinely broken by Israeli and Israel-linked U.S. organizations. IRmep’s Center for Policy and Law works to reveal, document, formulate pro-forma evidence and file lawsuits to expose, challenge and obtain damages for harmful and illegal policies.
What does Middle East policy have to do with law enforcement? In the 1940s, the Jewish Agency set up a massive arms smuggling network in the United States. Although hundreds of members were identified stealing and smuggling arms in violation the Neutrality and Arms Export Control Act, only a few lower level operatives were ever prosecuted. By the 1960s, Israel-linked groups were stealing nuclear material and technology. In the 1980s Israel’s LAKAM technology and military secrets network was preying on U.S. businesses and national defense infrastructure. In 2005 Israel’s American lobby AIPAC was caught trying to use stolen classified information to touch off military conflict with Iran. Today, operatives conduct interventions into US media and politics, but remain outside registration under the the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Important US statutes, rarely enforced, could contribute much more to Middle East peace—but only if Americans understand how law is related to policy, and lawsuits are filed to call attention to and challenge wrongdoing.

Technion
11/19/2014 According to court filings, Technion’s Dr. Amir Gat allegedly “stored project-related files and technical information on his personal laptop, rather than on his safeguarded office computer, in violation of the TCP and ITAR.” On May 25, 2010, a virus attacked project leader Dr. Sandra Troian’s computer network working on the JPL “Electrospray” project at Caltech, causing hundreds of project files to be uploaded in rapid succession to an unknown IP address outside of Caltech. Dr. Troian traced the virus that caused the network problems to Dr. Gat’s computer, and notified Caltech officials of this fact. On May 28, 2010, Dr. Gat admitted to Dr. Troian that he had been sharing details of the Electrospray Project with Dr. Daniel Weihs, his Ph.D. advisor at Technion without proper US government approval. On June 3, 2010, Dr. Troian found Dr. Gat wandering alone, unauthorized, in one of her access-restricted experimental laboratories. Dr. Gat explained that Dr. Weihs had recommended from Technion that he “look around” to see what other aerospace projects were ongoing at Caltech in collaboration with JPL.
